Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 139: Mantis Invading the Workshop

Traveler's Workshop.

After Lightmoss, Daigo, and all the Pokémon left, a rather large Pokémon appeared near the workshop.

The red light in his eyes gradually faded, and the leader Scyther came to the workshop from the forest.

Scyther, this Pokémon has a head shape like a reptile, such as a monster or a dinosaur, with three separate horns on its head. Its whole body is green, and the scythes on its arms are as sharp as divine weapons, and it has two pairs of smaller wings.

This Pokémon fights with a sickle. If you find a place in the forest with a lot of trees cut down, it means that it is the territory of Scyther. The big sickles on its arms are extremely sharp. With just one swing, even a big tree can be cut in half. The more hard things it cuts and the more times it fights, the sharper the sickle will become.

It had just observed for a long time, until the owner of the workshop, the guests, the giant, and those Pokémon had all left. After a long while, it was sure that no one would come here anymore, and then it flapped its wings and flew over.

Although the name contains the word "flying", the height it can actually fly is limited, so it is unable to learn the "flying" move for long-distance flight. In normal combat, the wings mainly play a role of balance and acceleration.

"just"

Scyther found the address of the workshop only yesterday. It saw the disappearance of the Night Spirit in the forest, as well as the humans who came from the workshop to the depths of the forest, and they took away the "gem" with powerful power.

According to the Night Demon, it seems that the orb originally belonged to that human being, or should have been given to that human being.

At the beginning, I heard that the gem had the effect of increasing the power of Pokémon, so I went to steal it, but was discovered by the Night Slayer. At the same time, the giant bear deep in the forest seemed to be looking for something, so a confusing snatching battle began.

He didn't have enough strength, so he failed to snatch the bead. That night demon was quite powerful, just like the powerful rock giant.

Scyther looked at the workshop carefully, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The human who repaired Celebi's shrine has unique skills, and the Pokémon that follow him also have extremely powerful abilities, so the human must have items that can increase the power of Pokémon.

Stealing is a necessary step to become stronger. Scythe crossed the sickles on his arms, making sharp clashes of swords, accompanied by the sound of sharp crackling, and his heart was filled with a desire for power.

The wild Pokémon world has always been like this! If you get a powerful item, other Pokémon will definitely target it and try to take it away. There is no Pokémon that is not interested in power, because Pokémon are essentially warlike creatures!
Scyther looked around. Although he knew that there was no one in the workshop, he was still a little cautious, fearing that the human had left someone behind to guard the house, or that one or two Pokémon he had never seen before would come out from some door or the ground. That would be terrible.

Near the workshop, I also took a look at the fruit fields.

The fruits on the trees were growing very well and should be ready for harvest soon. Scyther cut one off and tasted it, revealing a pleased expression.

This tastes so wonderful!

Delicious food always makes Pokémon intoxicated. Scyther even had the urge to cut down all the fruit trees and take them back. However, considering that his arms were sickles and did not have the function of "grabbing", Scyther abandoned this idea.

Besides, if these fruit trees were cut down, then when that human came back, he would most likely rush into the forest to look for himself.

Although he really wanted to become stronger and defeat that human and his Pokémon to become the number one in the outer forest, it was obvious that the opponent had too many Pokémon.

If you have to defeat an entire team of Pokémon on your own, this isn't fear, it's weighing the pros and cons!

Of course, if a fight really had to take place, it would be impossible to do so. For some reason, every time it approached that human, Scyther felt that its desire to fight decreased sharply and it was almost impossible to control it.

And it is the same now. The source of the reduced desire to fight is right in this workshop.

Leaving the fruit and herb fields with regret, Scyther had no interest in those ordinary crops. It carefully studied the main entrance of the workshop. Although it had seen human villages, it had never really entered a village, so its understanding of things like "doors" was limited to a limited degree.
How is this "door" opened?
No, no, no, it's too dangerous to do that. It's easy for the opponent to find out. Even if you want to chop, you have to find a place where it's not easy to be discovered. Since the main entrance is blocked, then look for other places. Scyther began to circle around the workshop, and finally his eyes lit up.

At the back of the workshop, there is a simple wooden shed, which is obviously a newly built building. Next to the shed is a wooden wall. Unlike the solid walls mixed with rocks in other places, this wall looks like it can be opened.

Well, here it is!

Scythe's scythe lit up and swung forward fiercely!
Scyther used 'Cleave'!
Works great on forge walls!
With one cut, the "back door" of the workshop was split into two parts, and fell to the ground with two loud bangs. The forging room behind the wall was also visible at a glance, with all kinds of ores, materials, clay, and forging tools. Scyther glanced at the items here, found the sandpaper for grinding, and rubbed it on his sickle.

Oh! This thing is great, I can actually use it to sharpen my own sickle!

Scyther's eyes lit up, and he picked up the sandpaper evenly on the sickle, then placed it outside the workshop, ready to take it away when he left.

Then it saw a bunch of shiny things.

"just!"

The orbs are also shiny, so shiny = orbs of life!

Could it be that this human has mastered the technology to make orbs? Scythe stepped forward with joy, and when its sickle touched the shiny metal boxes, the magnetic field under the workshop suddenly vibrated.

The day before, the magnetic field here had just been gathered together by the Metagross that had eaten the fierce steel food, and due to the special nature of the land of Shendu, the magnetic field here has always been abnormally active. When Scyther touched the "metal film", the changes that occurred were just like what happened in the ancient Xicui period!
On the land of Xicui, due to the influence of the special magnetic field, the Scyther no longer needs to communicate and can directly use the metal film to evolve into the "Giant Mantis"!
And now, in the land of Shendu, which has a similar environment to Xicui, this kind of thing happened again!

"precisely!"

Scythe looked at its own body in horror as the energy of steel and the magnetic field of the entire earth violently slammed into its body. A dazzling white light roared in its heart along with the sound of evolution. The color of its body began to change and its appearance became heavier until red covered its entire body. Its sickle turned into a giant pincer. It looked at its changed body and arms in disbelief. And now... it should no longer be called Scythe!
But it’s the “Giant Mantis”!
"Cha?! (I evolved?!)"

The evolutionary problem that had troubled it for a long time was solved so accidentally. The giant mantis was so excited that it almost shouted out with joy!

This power is increasing rapidly and is already invincible. Who can stop me in this outer forest from now on?
Even this human can no longer withstand his attack!

As it evolves, it evolves, and then its power will become stronger, right?

Unfortunately, the evolution of the Mantis family does not increase the total racial value, but Giant Mantis does not understand this, it is just a Pokémon!

After evolving, the giant mantis opened the door of the workshop forge more easily. Its huge pincers had unparalleled power and smashed the door directly. It began to patrol the workshop, hoping to get more powerful props.

There must be treasures here, and even more. The mantis's eyes suddenly caught sight of a mirror, which reflected its current appearance, majestic and powerful. A smug smile appeared on the corner of the mantis's mouth. It turned around and found a bunch of magic candies and energy cubes in the kitchen. It picked them up with its giant claws and started eating them on the spot.

Level UP! UP! UP!

Behind the giant mantis, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the mirror.

A scarlet dragon eye saw the giant mantis invading the workshop through the mirror!

"Gah!"
