Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 640 Xiao Zhao earns money raising alpacas, and the alpacas earn money to pay wages. A harbinger of past chaos.

The tower has been breached?!
When the trainers and Pokémon gathered in the Dream Sky Battle realized this, their voices gradually grew louder, and even Entei fell into a deep, incredulous contemplation.

Appearances can be deceiving. No, how should I put it? The true flaw of the Calyre Crown King is finally beginning to show. In other words, she has transformed from a comedic character into a truly invincible knight king.
The king was crowned.

[It seems the first Pokémon to reach the pinnacle has emerged. Following the above suggestion, let it exist as the original Pokémon Champion; is that acceptable?]

Although there are only 21 floors now, the trainers who appeared in this battle are all top-tier powerhouses in their respective worlds. Thus, the significance of this tower's restart and its initial radiance have finally seen the light of day again after 150 years.

That person was also overjoyed, eagerly anticipating the completion of the 50th floor.

Some joyful voices, indistinguishable in gender, rang out in the hall where preparations were underway. Appearing in the radiance was none other than Arceus, the true master of the tower.

Of course, it's not from this world, meaning it's not the [Sinnoh Grandmaster], but Arceus who appeared here from the special episode world.

"The intensity was too high. Only with the combined strength of the heroes of the Round Table was the Queen able to successfully break through all the floors. Even during the continuous battles, the power of the dream world and the tower could help the challengers to continuously recover their physical strength, but mental fatigue would still accumulate."

"As a challenging facility, I believe it shouldn't be about simply piling on strength. Otherwise, given the strength of the trainers who join this tower, it will most likely become an impregnable tower with a champion-level trainer guarding each floor."

"If challengers can't pass, the tower's purpose will be lost. The collapse or even burial of past towers was due to their excessive strength, wasn't it?"

"However, it's said that the Battle Tower in the Hoenn region has as many as 70 floors, but then again, none of the Battle Towers there are as strong as this one."

As the builder of the tower, this is what Emperor Yan and the unknown totems rebuilt. As the chief designer, he would naturally offer his opinions on the current strength.

What you said makes sense.

Arceus of the special world did not refute, but instead acknowledged the problem raised by Emperor Yan.

While I am not the creator of this tower, and it is something I have never seen before, even I cannot guarantee that I will be able to pass through all twenty-one floors. After all, I lack the "Legendary Stone Slab," and I also lack the "Fairy" and "Pure Sky" sections.

Therefore, opening different levels at different times, reducing the number and intensity of those guarding the tower, and establishing different "match rules" for each period might be a way to limit the tower's strength and provide a more enjoyable experience.

In addition, we will enhance the rewards for clearing each tower floor, including various materials and items collected and produced from the dream world and the real world. As we discussed before, these rewards will not only include training items but also spaces where players can freely interact with Pokémon and experience different eras and world cultures.

As Arceus spoke, he displayed a strange piece of food in front of Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan blinked and sucked the food in and chewed it.

"what is this?"

Arceus: [This seems to be a snack given to me by that person, something called "taro cake"? From Xicui, 150 years ago.]

Although the production process is simple, it is said to be a treasure left over from a distant past, a food made by the people of Shenhe in an era of scarcity.

[Ancient Poetry and Prose 13.]

[After picking taro, peel it. Once peeled, you can cook it—fry or boil, it's up to you. After cooking, mash the taro into a paste and knead it.]

[To help me understand the history of the people of Shenhe, that being brought many things from the past.]

Did the taro cakes eaten by people thousands of years ago taste the same as those eaten 150 years ago? I heard that these taro cakes were made by outsiders from a faraway place. How could outsiders make such an authentic and mysterious flavor?

The migration of people also brought new Pokémon, which changed in different regions due to the influence of humans and local environments. This is the interaction of the world; compared to this, our world is far too closed off.

[Foods from other places related to Shinigami, wheat from the Valley of Creation, pearl-like Koshihikari rice from Sinnoh, the verdant Worm Valley, grains from Mijina. When I think of these things, although I have never experienced those times and events, nor have I ever seen the people and Pokémon of that era, a sense of nostalgia and sorrow always wells up in my heart.]

[Pure happiness that came from the distant past, a happiness shared and enjoyed by the lives of those who lived in that era.]

Emperor Yan: "Do you want to share this happiness with people of different eras?"

Arceus: [Indeed. In the future, I saw it. In the past, I saw it. Let me borrow the words of Damocles: What will the world be like a thousand years from now? What will your future be like?]

Some people hope that the times will remain unchanged, while others hope that the times will constantly change. The story of Galar perfectly illustrates this point.

Emperor Yan: "I see. This is indeed beneficial. Under the constraints of various rules, the weak can also exert their strength, which will lead to situations where the weak defeat the strong. At the same time, there are also incredible new rewards. So, I think, since we're already like this, why not make the rewards into..."

"The way she makes a wish."

"People make wishes before battles and receive blessings; after battles, they also hope to receive corresponding rewards. Let them choose for themselves. As a god, it's easy to do that, isn't it?"

The legend of the Crowned King gave Emperor Yan some small inspiration.

And there's another important point.
"If it's about ingredients, we can just let the Crowned King do the planting. As the champion of the first Dream Sky Battle, it has responsibilities it must bear. But as for farming and cultivating vegetables, I think it enjoys it. It's more like it's a necessary way for it to collect faith."

Arceus: [Then let's ask it to do this. This time it's official. The Pokémon League is only Pokémon. No, it's a dream league dominated by Pokémon. Hehehe, isn't this just like an exploration organization or guild in some world?]

"Then, I will also help collect treasures from even more distant worlds as a reward."

Oh, and this too.

[A strange, unfinished item given from a distant era. It's called the "Infinite Backpack," supposedly a treasure someone from the Green Era boasted about creating, but ultimately seemed to have failed.]

Of course, even if it fails, this backpack can still hold quite a few items. At the same time, it doesn't have the heaviness and inconvenience of a large backpack; it's simply a "waist pack." Such a treasure is rare even in any world.

[Let's include this in the prizes first. I also want to give the trainers who defended the tower more useful things as a thank you for taking the time to be tower defenders. If they successfully defend the tower, they will receive incredible rewards; if they fail, they will still receive the regular rewards.]

Arceus placed an ancient pouch in front of Yan Di. Subsequently, although it was the weakest avatar, it returned to the main body. The creation of these rewards and the fulfillment of wishes also came from the strongest origin.

And with the help of the local Sinnoh Grand Master.

Now, let's distribute the rewards for defending the tower. Thank you all!

------------

The dazzling light vanished along with the tower keepers' dreams, and they awoke in different regions and different worlds.

The first to receive the prize were the hatchers favored by Arceus of the other world.

Although Akin performed poorly in this tower defense, and even seemed to give up somewhat, that was because the trainer was attacked, and even the creator god could only express helplessness in this situation.

You love open-world battles so much that you dare to create a no-rules free-for-all in this situation. You're certainly skilled at open-world combat, but this time there are no time-space orbs or similar items to boost your abilities.

Moreover, to actually use flesh and blood and a pool cue to fight against Pokémon like Urshifu and Calyrex in real life—if someone dared to do that, that pool cue would definitely…
Hmm, Arceus thought for a moment. It observed Argin's past experiences and discovered that the billiard cue had actually blocked Lugia's high-altitude explosion, which made the creator god interested in the billiard cue as well.

"Then, here's a sturdier cue and your favorite."

Akin's interest lies in tasting local specialties from different places.

They share the same love of food as Aoki.

"Arzetus?!" Arkin woke up abruptly from his sleep!
Hearing Arceus's call, and after understanding the current situation, he recalled the crushing defeat in the Dream Sky Battle and immediately slapped his forehead repeatedly!
"Ugh! What on earth is that? I won't make rules like that again!"

"However, it's common to crash during training. Actually, I knew I couldn't stop them; I was just going through the motions to get the reward."

If Silver and Chris were here, they would definitely accuse Gold of lying.

However, right now only Akin is here by himself.

Furthermore, because the Pokémon Home moved from the Johto region to the distant Sinnoh region, Gold's "Pokémon Home" also disappeared.

At this moment, the hatcher realized that compared to people in other worlds, the only people in this world who ran "Pokémon breeding" were the old man and woman he knew.
Ajin: "No wonder that blonde sister and I lost so badly. It's because we don't have any professional zookeepers here! Ah, I see now. All the battles so far have been a bluff!"

"Well, even without professional keepers, I wouldn't open a breeding house."

"Look what Arceus gave me! Hmm, a pool cue?! And it's brand new! This is exactly what I wanted!"

"And... Oh?! Volcano Burger! My favorite Volcano Burger! Hey, Explosion Taro, Ootaro, Pokotaro, wake up!"

"There are so many hamburgers, it's like a small mountain! We can eat to our hearts' content! Guarding the tower is great, there are even free hamburgers! I'll definitely go again next time!"

Another world, the Sinnoh region.

The Sinnoh region has no history of washing greenery, no true history of divine intervention, and no heroes.

After entering the Dream Sky Alliance, the young Zhu Lan occasionally pondered these things.

Unable to visit the ruins of the capital, and unable to be recognized as a god, they are descendants of traitors, while the boys and girls of the Johto region are recognized in the process of fighting against the creator god.

"Having failed to defeat the challenger and been utterly defeated in the tower, my current strength has come to an end."

Beside her was a dejected Garchomp. Although the Garchomp was quite happy to find that it had also evolved in reality after waking up, it couldn't even resist the blizzard brought by the invincible King when it recalled the battle in the tower.

"Oh dear, Garchomp, you're very angry. But there's nothing we can do about it."

The weakness of being four times weak to ice is not easy to overcome. Even if you are filled with boundless anger after being defeated, you have nowhere to vent it because you are indeed far weaker than your opponent.

Garchomp nodded; it simply felt that it had suffered far too many defeats recently.

It also failed to help Cyndaquil meet the gods. As the main Pokémon, it was unable to respond to its trainer's heart, which was the root of its anger.

"Gah!"

Shall we go train?

Garchomp urged Cyndaquil on.

Not only is there the potential disaster facing the Sinnoh region in the future, but also to fulfill Cynthia's wish, I must work twice as hard. I have been far too lazy in the past.

Cynthia smiled helplessly. She stroked Garchomp, ending this unfortunate "lunch break battle." But at that moment, both she and Garchomp heard a sound!

The sound was like a dream that hadn't quite faded away!
[You've done very well. Demanding too much of yourself is unrealistic. It's enough to see such sincere people like you among the remnants of the past.]

[Then, here is the reward for guarding the tower. Although it's not yet time for us to meet, I will grant you access to investigate the ruins of the Divine Capital, and... if you wish to strengthen your abilities.]

"Arzetus?! Have you granted me the right to listen?"

Young Zhulan didn't move, standing quietly in place, her emotions surging, listening devoutly.

Arceus:

[This is your reward, a "revelation" about Sinnoh's future. As the champion, I have felt your desire to fulfill your responsibilities.]

Even though I've said I'll never return to that world that caused me so much pain, my creations are still there, banishing two aspects of time and space to the earth, bestowing upon the hidden soul one of the world's shadows, and promising to give it the sunlight it has never seen.

[I grant you permission to travel to the Reverse World. In our world, the Reverse World can only be entered through the Cave of No Return. If someone's soul is torn apart, it may exist in the Reverse World in molecular or even smaller forms.]

Yes, our world has no "spirit world." Therefore, the reversed world bears the important task of carrying souls. It cannot have a sun, nor can it be modified or changed. That world is filled with countless souls of the deceased.

[Go to the Reverse World, to the Cave of No Return, or perhaps... to the sun-drenched coastal city I promised Giratina, the place it was permitted to go.]

On the land of Sinnoh, young men and women, symbolizing emotions, will, and knowledge, should embark on their journey. You must provide them with proper guidance, rather than simply accepting them as chance encounters.

Then, at the Pillar of Spears, let's borrow Giratina's power to get everything back on track.

Although Giratina always liked to cause trouble and even collaborated with Team Galactic scientists in the future, Arceus from another world had already seen that future. Therefore, he would grant Giratina's request during the battle at the ruins of Famille.

It's just sunlight; there's nothing wrong with getting some sun occasionally.

Although these three are newly born, mere replicas of their own children carrying ancient memories, perhaps the past history is simply too harsh for them.
However, the young boys and girls were unable to initially grasp the destiny they represented. Pal, Diamond, and especially the "Plantina Berlitz" family, this family had done many things in our world. The influence caused by their thirst for knowledge spread to various regions. However, that is the norm for humanity in our world, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Therefore, you must guide this girl to shed her pampered princess nature, help her better understand the significance of the Sinnoh region, and avoid future sacrifices. I hope she can become someone like "Radiance" or "Illumination."

I entrust this child to you, and I'm betting on this new era.

The Creator left a divine oracle, and after hearing it, Zhu Lan's expression changed.

"Binhai City, no, it should be [Binhu City]!"

Although it is the same location, the names have subtle differences due to the different worlds.

But at least the fact that the sun shines brightly has never changed.

However, it is said that in other parts of world history, the coastal city was not a sunny place in ancient times, but rather a desolate place filled with ghosts and vengeful spirits, known as "Ghost Plain" and "Sand Hand".

Perhaps this is another reason why Giratina longs to reach that place.

"Prantina Berlitz".

"I remember she was Dr. Yamanashi's research assistant, from the Bellizzi family, which has a tradition of personally climbing Mount Tenguan to forge their family crest. And this young lady seems to hire bodyguards, which means, according to the traditional fate of the [Potential Deity Holder]..."

"The real picture book shouldn't be given to the bodyguards, but to the other two children."

"The terrible incidents that occurred in other regions refer to the capture of Rayquaza. It is said that it was a lingering effect of the Pokémon Research Group, a product of the reboot of the project on how to freely control Pokémon fifty years ago."

"My next task is to help Sinnoh break free from its past history, regain God's trust, and avoid potential sacrifices and tragedies."

"Thank you for talking to me. I will do my best to defend the tower next time!"

Zhu Lan made a heartfelt and sincere prayer, and subsequently, she received another reward.

Hmm. A bicycle?!

Before her eyes appeared a brand new bicycle. The young Zhu Lan blinked, her expression gradually becoming strange.

"Sonic speed, bicycle? That's definitely something I like!"

This is natural.

In the special episode, the first place where Chiklan appears is Baidai City, where she comes to rescue the manager of a bicycle shop who has been kidnapped.

Furthermore, the special episode's Rin possesses a secret technique that Rin from other worlds does not have.

Although her combat power is the lowest among all versions,
In terms of bicycle racing, Cynthia in the special episode can ride a bicycle to catch up with Garchomp's high-speed flight and rush up Mt. Coronet in one go.

During the final battle at Spear Pillar, Cynthia had Plantina and the other two ride Garchomp, while she herself rode a bicycle at breakneck speed. Sun, riding a flying Magneton, flew into Spear Pillar in one go, and Cynthia was able to ride from Veil City to the top of Mount Coronet in a short time.

To this day, no one knows exactly how fast Chikuran rode her bicycle in the special episode.

Riding skill EX!

In the southwest of the Unova region, in Hinoki City, a girl's voice echoed throughout the newly built Hinoki Gym.

The building, which was supposed to be completed in two years, is now finished. Of course, it is still relatively simple compared to the Hinoki Fan Dojo that will be completed in two years. It is just a conversion of the school's battle arena and dormitory, which was then assigned to the newly appointed leader.

However, the supporting facilities will be gradually completed later. That's what the school principal said. At the same time, they also received a construction fund from the alliance.

Douzi: "We lost! How could this happen! Mr. Adek, you've been defeated too!"

Aldek: "Hahaha, I lost! This tower is really interesting. I often lose after entering the tower. Sigh, as people get older, their energy really doesn't work. Although I didn't use the Al set, I think even if I had, the result would have been the same."

The schools in Hinoki City have long hoped that Adek would return to teach there, just as he did when he taught young people in Suanmu Town.

However, because the League Challengers and the top players at the Battle Facilities have recently started flocking to the highlands, Alder has been able to return much less often. But he still has to come and see the new gym.

Especially after making a pact with the Padiya champion, the amazing old man felt increasingly that he had been somewhat irresponsible in the past.

But, I can't say that.

Adeker always felt that guiding the next generation of trainers and spreading the joy and happiness of interacting with Pokémon was more important than handling league affairs. Therefore, he decided to come and visit the school.

This includes the child chosen by the dragon, and the other heroes who have not yet embarked on their journey.

Adeke comforted the girl in front of him: "Unova still has a bright future. Don't be discouraged even if you lose now."

Douzi looked dejected: "Although my team wasn't strong enough in terms of team composition, we had three dragons! The founding legend of the United States was shattered just like that, ultimately because of my poor command."

"I thought passing the [Hero Interview] would solve everything, but in reality, my abilities still don't match."

"As expected, as a gym leader, I am not qualified to participate in this level of gate defense battle. The reason I was able to pass the dragons' test before was because they were essentially selecting heroes, and Dawn's strength was stronger than mine."

"She's really—amazing!!! Amazing."

"Between fire and water, water is definitely stronger. I want to enter the Hall of Fame, but it seems I'm still a long way off."

“Mr. Adek?” Douzi blinked and noticed that Adek had closed his eyes.

"Hmm, don't worry, God has spoken. I'm just listening, you can hear me too, right?" Adek raised his hand towards Douzi, gesturing for her to stop. The battle girl wearing the hat jolted as if electrocuted, her ponytail swaying, as she heard the echo in her mind:
Regarding your dream for the Unova region, I cannot offer reasonable advice. Your dream is to fight, and that is what you aspire to. Because you haven't reached your peak yet, you have enormous room for growth.

The unique feature of this region is the relationship between humans and Pokémon. The earliest place to call Pokémon "Pokémon" instead of "monster" originates from the story of the king who died in battle at the underwater temple.

[So, here is the prize for protecting the tower. Thank you. Your "dream" and "guidance" have been realized here.]

This is a program from our world that I believe can offer some help for the future of your region.

That's right, what's important is the future of humans and Pokémon.

After Arceus's voice disappeared, Douzi blinked.

“Mr. Alder?! What is this?” Alder: “Oh, the grace of God. Although that god is not the god of our world, it has a lot to say about the relationship between humans and Pokémon.”

"Look, your encyclopedia seems to have changed, hasn't it?"

Douzi picked up his Pokédex and discovered a new feature:
"This is indeed a feature related to the Pokédex, called 'Mood Mode'? Huh, it shows the Pokémon's current mood?!"

"Being able to understand a Pokémon's mental state anytime, anywhere—that's exactly what Team Plasma is all about! That's how it is!"

"[How do Pokémon receive commands or act?] Once you have a mood mode, anyone can understand their Pokémon's mental state! This is the way to improve the relationship between humans and Pokémon!"

【Mood Mode】 was originally developed and designed by Professor Oak and used exclusively on Pikachu. However, because the person who possessed this program was Yellow, who was already able to sense Pokémon Dream Law, it was shelved and abandoned.

However, the potential of this program is almost limitless. If it is widely used and adapted to all Pokémon, then Team Plasma's arguments in the Unova region will lose their footing.

After all, if everyone could know what their Pokémon was thinking through the super-advanced technology of Mood Mode, who would care about Gryphon's nonsense?

Furthermore, a machine capable of fully understanding Pokémon's feelings and thoughts was actually developed in another manga, "Snorlax's Dream Food," by a mechanically skilled female student named Kumura from Orange Academy in the Padilla region, who was known as the "Future Inventor."

Its instrument is called the "Dream Scanner"!
Adek: "This program seems unparseable. Since it's a program given by God, it's definitely different from the original program. Maybe showing it to that person can help crack its principles."

"However, the hard work in defending the tower has paid off handsomely, hasn't it, Touko?"

Those who can hear the thoughts of Pokémon will defeat those who cannot.

Perhaps this is a good thing for Pokémon.

But it must be used by the right people, and this program represents infinite hope.

Alder also had a prize in his hand, but the greatest happiness he could hope for was being able to battle alongside Pokémon and spend the rest of his time in such intense battles.

Adek: "The prize is the investigation documents."

“Sending these documents to different trainers to conduct problem surveys or give scores is just like grading homework, but it’s the best reward for me.”

Douzi was busy working on the Pokédex. After using it on his own Pokémon, he was astonished to discover that he could actually know what they were thinking at that moment.

"This...this is really amazing!"

Douzi patted his face and took a deep breath:

"Although the tower defense has just ended, the future seems clearer now. Oh, right, someone's coming to my first battle as leader today. I'll use this program then!"

As if sensing something, Douzi looked towards the dojo's gate.

The girl who hasn't yet reached the point of constant victory still needs to work hard.

In Italian, her name comes from—

Athena.

The true hero, however, derives his name from Alcides.

Outside the dojo, someone shouted Douzi's name and entered the newly built dojo.

The three young trainers were full of anticipation.

However, at the dojo, Adeike, who was preparing to assign them homework, was also full of anticipation.

Douzi took a deep breath, composed himself, and entered battle mode!

A girl with pigtails and buns, a hairstyle like a bird's nest, and two boys with haircuts resembling thousand needles.

I've arrived with joy and curiosity!
Ash pondered, gritting his teeth: "Not bad, our city has a dojo now! The school with its long history now has a leader. We can train here, improve our strength, and then go and take down those hiding rats!"

Gongping looked around and said, "I heard that Champion Aldace seems to be here too. Don't forget to ask us about the match!"

Mingyi held the Poké Ball, exchanged a glance with the other two, and grinned mischievously. She raised the Poké Ball high, revealing that her Agaric and Ferrothorn were ready to pounce.

Those two Pokémon have evolved!

"Hi Hi!"

"Sister Douzi, we've come up with a new strategy. To celebrate the opening of the dojo, let's have a three-way battle!"

"There are three challengers today!"

In the Padiya region, Yeci returned to reality from his busy tower guard duties, his signature smile unchanged.

Needless to say, luck is also part of the battle, it's just that my luck in dreams has always been bad.

She returned to her office.

Xin Li: "That... Commander-in-Chief... Aoki said he wants to take a vacation."

Ye Ci: "Really? Where does he want to go?"

Xinli: "He said there was no rush, he just wanted to apply in advance, and the vacation destination is Alora."

Ye Ci: "Well, then let's prepare a set of clothes for him. I hope he can enjoy his vacation. He can leave whenever he wants."

Xin Li was startled: "Huh?! Aren't you going to say something else? Like the tower? And you actually approved it?!"

Ye Ci shook his head:

"The others? Oh dear, I failed as usual. But, failing in a challenge means good luck in real life, right? This is the law of conservation of luck that I've summarized. Besides, I wasn't the only one who lost this time, so I'm in a pretty good mood."

"How's it going at the academy? The documents... the subordinate combat unit, the Celestial Star Team? It's settled! Excellent."

Ye Ci's eyes flickered, and her smile deepened:
"As expected, good things always happen in reality. With the establishment of the Celestial Star Team, we can eliminate the remaining poison in one fell swoop. And those so-called 'combat teams' formed by those people are excellent foes that can be used to unite the students. Let Hachisaku be in charge of coordinating this matter, including the construction of the development facilities."

"And the school entrance hall, I decided it should be transformed into an entrance surrounded by books, which I designed myself."

"By the way, Xinli, don't you want to know what I got this time? There are all sorts of different prizes for challenging the tower later."

Xin Li: "The prize... it's definitely not some kind of talent directory or anything like that. It's not a headhunter's list, is it?"

“No.” Ye Ci took out a bag of snacks: “It’s taro cakes. It seems to be a specialty of some era.”

“You should bring back something interesting every now and then, shouldn’t you? Since things have come to this, let’s eat first. Call Aoki over and have him bring some back for Hachisaku.”

At the summit of Baiyin Mountain, Meng Huan and Xiao Ye looked at each other, dejected. Meng Huan felt it wasn't fun anymore and wanted to pull Ye Ye away from the snow-covered mountain.

In Zone Zero, after reviewing the battle, Dr. Orin began recording and transferring data for analysis, and organized documents in preparation for heading to Sinnoh.

In the universe, this shore comforts the displeased Dragon God, listening to the Dragon God's complaints and what it has to say.
Next time, I must put all three dragon gods on the same floor for the battle, and I should also bring Groudon and Kyogre along.
However, in that case, those two should have started fighting first, right?

In a region once known as a chaotic world, a place filled with ruins, Xiaoyou continues her travels as usual.

But the Dark Sky Solomon dreamed of a strange world.

Mingming had already woken up from the dream-like battle and received a reward.
[“Liekongzu opens his eyes”]

Rayquaza heard a familiar voice, and it suddenly opened its eyes, only to find that it was not in a Poké Ball, but was seeing a blue sky and white clouds from a long time ago.

A man dressed in jet-black armor stood before him.

"The most qualified warriors and Pokémon will be wiped out here in one fell swoop."

"Enough! Anyone who gets in my way is unforgivable. Even my sister is no exception."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. I'm going to make history."

"The Mythical Pokémon will fall to my hand, Nobunaga, and then plunge this chaotic region into true destruction."

"They have failed my expectations. I will never forgive them. Has it all turned into a bubble? Fifty years of life, the past is like a dream."

The man in black armor, enveloped in flames, gradually dissipated.

Dark Rayquaza recalled some things from the past and realized that this was the reward for guarding the tower.

In order to launch another challenge against the Creator
An omen of chaos.

"I see. Nobunaga failed. Our region has dozens of historical periods. It's extremely chaotic. Anyone who obtains 17 cities can summon Arceus to grant their wish. Therefore, Nagamasa's appearance was just one part of it. This is the truth behind the lost memories of the past 400 years."

"Nobunaga, in one part of history, was defeated by Mitsuhide... What a pity. Will we ever see each other again?"

On Arceus's phone, the latest update information from Mengtian Lianzhan is displayed.

Iron Island is located in the northwest of the Sinnoh region.

Guangtai finished reading the updated content and pondered it carefully.

"I didn't expect the alpacas over there to be so enthusiastic about this tower. No wonder they brought it here, saying it was to help them understand what happiness is. It's really just free labor. They even have to go to other universes to earn money to support their families and pay everyone's wages."

So, you are also compassionate, Daenerys!
However, as long as the alpaca enjoys it, it's a good thing for trainers and Pokémon. In any case, it's a good way to motivate everyone.

This time, the dump truck collision by the Crown King has even led to a rule restriction, and Meng Tian's battles have also improved and become more organized.

After all, we need to keep up with the times.

In the future, there will be competition rules such as regular doubles, god battles, and para-Olympics, and even seasons with rewards and streaming.
This can also limit the expansion of firepower and increase the interest of participants. However, if you really intend to climb all the floors, you will still enter the no-rules battle and still have to fight the cheating Rachelon.

But that's the super challenge mode. There are actually more people who don't like to aggressively attack the tower and just want to play a few games occasionally for fun. Battle fanatics like Crimson Dante Nemo would probably spend all day studying how to attack the tower. Hmm, Dante probably doesn't have time for that now.
"Anyway, it's taro cake."

[Cooking: taro cake. 】

[Description: Taro cakes, a common and indispensable food passed down from the Shinkyo period to the Seishi period, are a local delicacy. The main ingredient is taro or sweet potato fruit, and the baking temperature is crucial; if the flame is too strong, the flavor will be lost. This is also recorded in Old Poem 13. Taro can also be used to make Mori no Yokan (sweet bean jelly), Tendo-yaki (upside-down yakiniku), and smoke bombs.]

【Effect:?】

Beside Hikari were many taro cakes, clearly small gifts from the Great Lord Sinnoh. The taro cakes from the Green Age were still steaming, seemingly just delivered from the past, which made Hikari's imagination run wild once again.

Although many people believe that Us, one of the three divine beings, is an incarnation or avatar of Arceus, this is because Arceus appeared as a female widow in the abandoned version of the story, and Us is generally considered to be a re-creation of that abandoned version.

However, there is actually another mysterious figure in Xicui Village, namely the Amulet Granny who sells amulets to players using protective stones.

Speaking of which, the Guardian Stone is something strongly associated with the Great Lord of Sinnoh; it was probably a treasure that was once enshrined in the center of the Sinnoh Temple.

"It's amazing that it ended up in the Galactic Team. And the three amulets that Granny Amulet sells are probably more effective than the ones I make. Maybe that old lady is actually the incarnation of Arceus. Xiao Zhao probably spent all the money he earned in the Galactic Team on Granny Amulet."

"After all, the purchase price of amulets increases progressively, eventually reaching tens of thousands of yuan each."

"The money was all earned by the Sinnoh Grandmaster. It turns out it was used to buy small gifts for other people. The Sinnoh Grandmaster is supported by the small gifts, while we are supported by the Sinnoh Grandmaster."

Lightmoss put away her phone; the sounds of people enjoying their food could be heard all around. Steel Island was very close to Waterline City; you could take a boat directly from there to Waterline City.

Moreover, compared to Zhuqing City, Shuimai City seems to be more like the former Zhuqing Village, even the name of the "Shuimai Road" in the village is exactly the same, and it is also located by the sea.

Iron Island. Formerly a thriving mining island, it was home to the Black Gold Ruins of Regigigas, yielding abundant ore. However, it was later closed due to depleted ore reserves. Since then, it has become an open training area and habitat for wild Pokémon.

Many wild Pokémon usually live here and gnaw on ores; most of them are Steel-type Pokémon.

The owner of this island and mine is Ya Xuan, one of the waveguide messengers.

In any case, among the descendants of Aaron, the former Aura Hero, Aaron is the most successful. He not only inherited the powerful Aura Force, but also owns a private island and mines. In comparison, Ash's starting point was not so high.

But then again, does that mean Ash's father, who has never appeared, is related to Aya?

"Dawn has already been to Iron Island and took Lucario's egg. She's progressing very quickly. But after Team Galactic disappeared from the mainland, we don't know where they went. We also can't determine Dawn's current location."

“Minghui did stay in Watervein City for a long time, after all, he was the doctor's assistant and had to prepare for meetings. Before the end of the story, Dr. Yamanashi should have summoned the three of them to the Watervein Library for a meeting.”

"Was this event delayed because of the regional conference, or perhaps the time hasn't come yet?"

Behind Guangtai, crunching and munching on stones, were all the team members who "didn't eat normal meals".

Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon, Ironfire Celestial, Saltstone Giant, Deoxys, Aegislash, Nebula, Reggie Elegant, Iron Warrior, Iron Dumbbell.

Although mineral resources have been depleted, the soil and rocks here still contain many minerals, and the magnetic field on this island is also unusual. Therefore, iron dumbbells are very active on this island, after all, they are the most economical.

Before evolving into MetalGreymon, it only needs to absorb magnets. After evolving, its prey becomes NoseCare. But then again, it hasn't actually changed, because NoseCaremon itself is also a large magnet.

Ore, electromagnetism, dust. These are the things these guys love most, not to mention that the aluminum-steel bridge dragon can also pull off some amazing feats. A meteor shower falls from the sky, crashing to the ground with a thunderous roar, carrying high-energy particles from space, making these guys as excited as if they were at a banquet!

One more shot! One more shot!
The Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon's Special Attack -6.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Guangtai glanced at Millerton, who was slacking off on the side. Millerton flicked its tail and rolled its eyes.

Normal food doesn't taste any better than these iron stones, and machines don't share the same joys and sorrows. Give me some taro cakes, please!
The electronic dragon licked its tongue.

"Aww."

Lucario was eating its usual taro cake. It glanced at the group of guys having a meal around the meteorites and ores and shook its head helplessly.

Although I am also of the steel element, I simply cannot withstand those stones.

It's not just Lucario; whenever something good comes along, you should share it with your friends.

Evil Spirit, Winged Hair, Dolphin Warrior, Array Soldiers, Crimson Armor Knight
Martial Arts Bear Master, Four Calamities, Volcano Moth, Fossilized Pterosaur.
However, for dragons like the Raging Water, Thunder Drum, and Sky-Piercing Flame, which are quite voracious eaters, taro cakes don't provide much energy; it's better to just eat rare tree fruits.

Now that Star Berry is readily available, which Pokémon can be so lucky, with all the Mythical Berry it can eat?
Aside from Xiao Luo and Gui Chan who don't eat these things, and Magiana who can't eat, the other companions all received taro cakes from the past era, and they were clearly separated from the meteorite group on the other side during the gathering.

In addition, there is a "plant group" that provides meals, namely the Earth Tortoise and Miss Skirt.

"Gas~"

Inside the cave, Galerite seems to have found a location with "poisonous gas." The lack of air circulation in the enclosed cave will produce harmful gases, which is a feast for Galerite.

This guy is overjoyed!
Living in a beautiful place like the Weimei Forest is indeed not bad, but something is always missing. After all, Hualang Town is a small town mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. There are no factories or tall chimneys, so you don't inhale a lot of toxic gas. You rely on the carbon dioxide emitted by the forest every day to sustain your life.

I never expected to find such delicious poison gas to inhale in other regions!

"They absorb toxic gases, use them as food, and then expel clean air from the chimneys overhead. This is probably why the Galar region was able to industrialize the earliest, because with the mutated double-bomb gas, they no longer had to worry about the harmful gases in the mines."

"Cool~"

The Money Spirit was counting money next to the Lightmoss. This guy had somehow managed to bring back some coins from the Galar region, probably back in the Slumbering Forest.
In any case, there are no places in the game where you can find ancient treasures in the Galar region, so it's quite remarkable that the Money-Grubber could find this money in the King's Rest, after all, this guy is the embodiment of greed.
Meanwhile, the money-grubbing spirit was still complaining about what had happened before.

If we just storm the ancient royal family's stronghold in Galar, wouldn't they willingly hand over their entire fortune? I'll collect the ancient coins, you'll get the loot and become a millionaire, and we'll both have a bright future!

It's a real shame that they didn't do that! It seems the last few ancient coins can only be found at the ruins of the Alora Dynasty.

"Tsk tsk tsk." The Money-Gathering Spirit counted the coins in the treasure chest. It wasn't far from collecting a thousand coins! Then the coin-carrying little figure patted its chest and made a gesture of refusal.

Don't call me if you get into a fight again. I'm afraid I'll lose my money.

"No, I didn't call you either. After all, you don't have any fighting skills. Don't you dare steal the doctors' wallets during this meeting!"

Guangtai still vividly remembers Suocailing's attempt to steal Xiaoguang's wallet:

“But, stealing from the Galactic Team is fine, cough, I mean, I didn’t see it. It was something a Galactic Team member accidentally dropped on the ground, and you just picked it up.”

"Cool~" Suo Cailing whistled.

As expected of the wise leader, he has a flexible bottom line. But for those criminals, morality is unnecessary, isn't it? But then again, robbing modern currency is completely useless!

While everyone on Steel Island was having a picnic, Lightmoss also received some information.

Mainly, it's about the meeting place and such.
Professor Yew is on his way to Sinnoh, while professors from other regions are arriving one after another. The stars of humanity are gathered here, the epitome of all wisdom since modern times.
The Pokémon Device rang, and on the other end of the line was Elena from the Rangers.

Is it convenient for you now? Are you in the Sinnoh region?

We've arrived near Sinnoh. It's my first time here, and the climate is somewhat similar to Almia! Oh, and regarding the inspection and disassembly of the remote control last time, and the development of the new program and machines...

Professor Shinhara has something important to discuss with you in person. Could we arrange to meet at the Water Vein Library?

“No problem,” Lightmoy replied. “I imagine there are many people in the Water Vein Library right now. Let’s meet there. I’m honored to meet the Ranger Alliance’s mechanic and Dr. Shinhara!”

On the sea, ships kept coming from the south of the Sinnoh region, sailing to the docks of Canal City on the edge of that undeveloped land.

On the Water Vein Wharf, aboard a Ranger Alliance vessel, Elena, having just finished a phone call, saw the newly arrived ship—an organization with its own vessels, just like the Ranger Alliance.
