Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 143: The Giant Mantis Planting Trees

Near the workshop, Daigo returned to the secret base in excitement, while Lightmoss immediately came to the destroyed world and saw the Giant Mantis that was knocked unconscious by Giratina's tail and has not yet woken up with the Pokémon.

Miss Qun'er volunteered and confidently stated that she had experience in this kind of thing!

The CPR method that Senior Double Scabbard taught her last time worked wonders on people who fainted, right, trainer!

Guang Tai showed an awkward but polite smile: "Well, that is not a formal CPR method. Don't use it on me next time. And the double scabbards, don't teach this weird ancient knowledge! But it's okay to use it on some unruly people."

"For example, right now! Ms. Skirt, use close combat against the giant mantis."

The power of fighting attributes is condensed on Miss Qun'er's double leaves. The leaves roll up, accumulating powerful force, and are released instantly!

Press!

"Hass?!"

Giant Mantis was originally having a horrible nightmare, but was suddenly awakened by a close combat version of CPR. The feeling of pain spread throughout its body. Even after evolving into a steel attribute, it still felt uncomfortable. It opened its eyes and saw a group of Pokémon and a human surrounding it!
Guangtai wanted to say something, but the giant mantis reacted quickly. It launched itself on the spot, somersaulted to the far side of the floating island, and took a alert posture, but as its body had not fully recovered yet, its legs went weak and it knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Double scabbards, use the spiritual blade to seal its movement."

Guang Moss's words were concise and to the point, and the two eyes of the double scabbards emitted powerful superpower fluctuations. After the restoration of the rock mountain ruins, the control over the mental blade once again rose to a terrifying level. Countless sharp mental threads enveloped the giant mantis, blocking all its actions!

The giant mantis's body suddenly stiffened.

Before it could recover, it was hit by the close combat of the lady in skirt. It felt so painful all over that it felt like its joints were about to break. The energy fluctuations emitted by the spiritual blades around it made it dare not move at all.

"Do you really want to become stronger? What do you plan to do after becoming the number one in the forest?"

"You can't take things for free. As a price, you have to work for me and repay the losses you caused. Those magical candies and energy cubes are not prepared for you."

The Pokémon stared at Mantis, and Giratina was also floating in the void, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

"Haas."

"Double scabbards, what does it say?"

After translation by the double scabbards, Guang Moss learned the answer of the giant mantis.

Working there is of course impossible, unless the light moss can really defeat it in combat!
"No, even if I beat you, you won't really be willing to work for me, right?" Guang Moss directly exposed the lies of the giant mantis, causing the latter to break out in a cold sweat.

But if you just keep talking stubbornly, you can't do anything about it!

"Are you scared?"

Guang Moss suddenly said something strange, and the giant mantis's eyes widened, a little annoyed.

Afraid? I have a "bold" personality! Even if it's that monster floating in the sky, I dare to punch it!
"A large bird Pokémon and a fossilized pterosaur." Guangmoss crossed his arms, looking as if he had seen through its heart:

"The essence of your pursuit of power is that you are afraid of encountering the same difficulties you once faced. Until now, you still have a psychological shadow on those Pokémon, so you are obsessed with dominating the outer forest and have never thought of entering the depths of the forest."

"How about this, I can help you become stronger, but you have to work for me. Isn't this a good deal? I am a craftsman with magical powers. You will know if you can become stronger after you try."

"Has?" The giant mantis was a little annoyed. It kept making low threatening sounds to the light moss, saying that it was not afraid of birds and dragons. After becoming the first in the forest, it would crush them! If you don't believe it, wait until your injuries are healed, and then we will have a showdown to show you your strength.
"Here! After you drink it, your injuries will be completely healed." Guangtai took out the Chinese herbal juice from somewhere. The giant mantis was stunned, took it with some confusion, and then drank it tentatively.

It was not worried that the human in front of it would tamper with the potion. After all, it had already been caught by them and had no way to resist.

After the Chinese medicinal juice entered his stomach, a strange warm current emanated from his body. The old wounds left in the battle gradually disappeared, and a force of life surged in his body! The giant mantis was surprised to feel the changes in its body. Its condition was better than ever before! It was better than when it just evolved!

Now, it has the confidence to compete with the shadow dragon again. It can at least withstand two dragon tails!

The giant mantis looked at the human in front of it in disbelief.

Why give yourself such a good thing?
"Okay, now that your injuries have healed, let's fight!" Light Moss suddenly gave the order. Both Scabbards and Miss Skirt wanted to fight with Giant Claw. They had accumulated a lot of strength, and after repairing the rock mountain ruins, the energy they had consumed was quickly replenished. For this Pokémon that invaded their home, they must use their own strength to let it know how powerful they are!

"Hey!" The Grass Turtle thought for a moment and also made a sound to ask for a fight!
It also wants to show its growth!

However, Mantis only had its eyes on Scabbards and Skirts. It had personally experienced the strength of these two Pokémon. As for Squirtle, Mantis took a look at the little turtle. It had seen it in the forest before.

Humph, even though I have no bottom line and steal everywhere, that is for the sake of gaining power, and I swing my iron fist at stronger Pokémon. I will never bully weak Pokémon because that is meaningless and very boring!

Guang Moss: "Okay! Grass Turtle, it's decided to be you!"

Giant Mantis: “???”

Stunned, shocked, puzzled, and then a feeling of being despised and angry!

The giant mantis pointed at the grass turtle in annoyance, shook its head, then pointed at the double scabbards and Miss Skirt and nodded.

It didn't want to fight a weak Pokémon like Squirtle. Even if it won, it wouldn't be glorious! And what was this? Did it look down on its own strength?

"Will we know how strong the Grass Turtle is after we fight it?"

Guang Moss snapped his fingers!
The weak Pokémon becomes powerful, this change is the most intuitive!
"Sunbeam!"

The battle came without any warning. The grass turtle shook its head and the powerful vanilla on its back jumped!
Although there is no sun in this destroyed world, there is still "light" here!
The grass turtle absorbed the light!
The solar beam blasted out instantly, and the giant mantis was blown away by the powerful solar beam before it could react. After being blown far away, it crawled up from the ground, with its eyes wide open, looking at the seemingly weak grass turtle in disbelief!
This, this isn't right! I'm a steel-type Pokémon, how can a grass-type Pokémon's moves be so powerful and effective!
I underestimated you!

Giant Mantis got serious. It originally thought that Squirtle was a weak Pokémon and looked down on it, but now it seems to be quite powerful! I didn't expect that I was wrong. Then the next one is Bullet Punch!
The silver-white fist came later but arrived first, shooting out with a flashing straight line of light!

"Break the shell." Guang Moss gave the order casually. The Grass Turtle shook its shell, and a layer of energy shell was broken. Its speed increased significantly, and it directly avoided the attack of the bullet fist. Its short legs almost ran out of the phantom and circled around the giant mantis, making the latter look around in shock!

"Draft."

The speed of the grass turtle increased again. The giant claw mantis swung its fists, but no matter how it attacked, it could not touch the grass turtle. It began to get impatient. At this time, the light moss gave another order:
"When drafting, use Stomp at the same time!"

Miss Skirt also placed leaves on both sides of her cheeks and made a worried sound:

"Dore!"

Use dance skills! "Hey!" Squirtle did not forget to respond while running at high speed. Before, it had special training with Regirock and Unknown Totem. In addition to learning new moves, it also learned how to better combine various moves to achieve unexpected effects. This is actually a skill that all powerful Pokémon have!
Just like the current drafting + stomping!

Every step he took was a heavy stomp, like a fierce drumbeat resounding through the sky. The ground was rumbling and the decelerating shock wave continued to shake the giant mantis, surprising it!
Is there any combination of moves like this?
Damn shadow clone!

The giant mantis used its shadow clone, and then all the clones made the same move, swinging its giant pincers in a rotating sweeping motion to perform the "Tile-Splitting" move!
The violent fist wind lifted the land of the floating island, but the grass turtle jumped up from the land!

"Flying Leaf Quick Knife!"

The Flying Leaf Knife, which could easily cut large stones, hit the clone of the Giant Mantis. After destroying all the clones, it accurately hit the Giant Mantis and - hit the vital point!
The giant mantis staggered and almost fell, but the grass turtle bounced off after landing, flew out and stomped hard. Its four little feet accurately kicked the giant mantis' chest, and then used the chest as a pedal to use the drafting technique again!
Although Guangtai did not give any orders, his eyes lit up when he saw Grass Turtle's actions.

"Right now, mud shooting!"

Although the Solar Beam is powerful, Giant Mantis is four times more resistant to grass, so it cannot cause decisive damage. If fire-attribute moves cannot be used, the best choices are moves with the four attributes of Earth, Rock, Flying, and Fighting that can cause equal damage!
Not to mention, the Grass Turtle also has the knowledge to strengthen ground moves!
The grass turtle opened its mouth wide and a large amount of mud spurted out of its mouth. The ground attribute energy of this mud was very strong. After hitting the giant mantis, it directly rushed it away from its original place and slammed it into a huge rock on the floating island, smashing the rock into pieces!
The giant mantis staggered and stood up from the rubble with its eyes wide open. It looked at the little turtle in disbelief, and then its eyes rolled back into circles and it fell directly to the ground!
"Miss Skirt?" Guang Moss smiled. "Wake it up and use 'Close Combat' on the Giant Claw Mantis."

"Dolei~" Miss Qun'er also smiled, and the power on her two leaves was ready to go.

The giant mantis was originally in a coma, and a kaleidoscope of thoughts flashed through its mind again. Then a familiar feeling of pain came and woke it up directly. This time, the giant mantis did not jump up directly, but lay on the ground with an expression that showed it was thinking about its life.

After fighting for so many years with all means, he was finally defeated by a very weak grass turtle. This was the result of evolution.

Are all these years of fighting and training really meaningful?
Or was there something wrong with my mentality from the beginning?
The giant mantis began to reflect. It didn't understand how the grass turtle could have such strong power. At this time, the light moss walked in front of it again. The giant mantis struggled to get up and sat on the land of the floating island, while its eyes were fixed on the grass turtle that had just defeated it.

"Hey~" The Grass Turtle felt a little embarrassed when being stared at by the Giant Mantis.

I've become a little stronger now! But please don't keep looking at me like that. Thank you for acknowledging me.

Giant Mantis: “.”

"How about it? Do you realize now that you are not strong enough? My suggestion is still valid."

This time the giant mantis did not refute.

The best way to deal with stubborn wild Pokémon is to just defeat them, and then they will become more talkative, even this cunning Megalania!
"Haas."

So, what should I do to become as strong as that little turtle? The giant mantis asked proactively.

This does not mean that it submits to this human being. This is just a necessary means to become stronger. It comforts itself in this way.

Guang Moss looked around and said, "First, you can help Giratina here. How about planting some trees first? It's okay. I'll teach you how to do it."

Planting trees?! What a joke, how can this make you stronger?
The giant mantis complained that it had been tricked, and there were no trees here at all.
"Gaa." Giratina pointed its dragon tail at a sky island. That was the sky island where the thank-you sculpture was placed. There were many trees on that island, seemingly waiting to be cultivated.

Guangtai took out a shovel from somewhere and stuffed it directly into the giant mantis: "Follow my method, you will definitely become stronger."

Mantis was still skeptical, and was taken to the sky island by Giratina until it tentatively planted a fruit tree next to it. Of course, the process was not smooth, because the soil in the reversed world was quite barren and could only grow some ordinary moss. Although the sculpture calmed the chaotic power here and made the land usable, various problems such as soil compaction still gave Mantis a headache.

It used to chop down trees frequently! One cross cut could chop down a large area! But this was the first time it had ever planted trees! Shouldn't it just wait for the forest to grow on its own?

Besides, is there really any need to plant trees in this barren and useless world?
After working for a while, it finally finished the task. As for the shovel, although it was very useful, it was really hard for a Pokémon to use it, so it finally returned to using the giant claws to dig the soil.

It was also the first time that the giant mantis discovered that its pincers could actually dig the ground so efficiently. As it was digging, a metallic glow appeared on its two giant pincers!
"The Giant Mantis helped you complete a task. You gained experience and grew! "

"I have mastered the move: Metal Claw!"

"Planted: Confluence Apple Tree - In the reverse world, the state of trees and fruits in the real world may change. "

"Has?" The giant mantis felt a new kind of power emerging. This feeling was the same as when eating those magical candies!

Planting trees really can make you stronger!

Guangtai: "That's right. As long as you repeat the same work over and over again, you can also practice the moves to perfection while becoming stronger. This is very similar to your previous training. In fact, it is the same principle. However, the effect of making yourself grow and strengthen will only appear when you work for me."

"The tree planting commission is long-term, so you can plant trees slowly."

Giratina also nodded frequently.

This mantis does a great job! The metal claws can also be used to dig soil and plant trees, which I had never thought of before!

Well, Guest No. 1 of this world has done a great job, and is rewarded with a chance to fight against himself!
As soon as these words were spoken, the giant mantis became full of energy.

Is it true? Is there still a chance to continue fighting?
"Haas!"

Then I will work hard to plant trees, and next time I will try to continue fighting with Giratina, at least to withstand two, no, three, dragon tails!

“This giant mantis can even set goals for itself,” Guangtai nodded.

In any case, the problem of Megalania has been solved, and the Reverse World now has a second Pokémon and a capable greening helper. At least before Megalania's archenemy, Pteranodon and some bird Pokémon appear, there is no need to worry about its affairs.

If it still has psychological problems after this, the unknown totem can help to relieve it. Of course, this kind of relief is simply to "visualize the inner heart", which is the same as the way Xiaozhi and his friends in the animation relieved the young Kiras and entered the inner world of the young Kiras to break the ice.

The psychological trauma of childhood can only be relieved through the "postnatal guidance" of the unknown totem, or by "overcoming" it head-on.

Giratina was also very happy.

This guy is so easy to fool! A young Pokémon who is naturally aggressive, let me guide you personally
[Come to think of it, you actually took the initiative to help this giant mantis. I thought you were going to make some excessive demands to retaliate against it.]

Giratina shook his dragon head, and twin scabbards jumped out.

The trainer you choose must make people live in harmony with all Pokémon and build a kingdom where people and Pokémon can live together. If you encounter a Pokémon with a mentality problem, of course you have to use powerful force to make it realize its mistakes and then correct them!
"It's better to let go than to block. Wild Pokémon are all like this. After the battle, they will become easy to talk to. And this is a punishment for it. For you, it's also a good helper, right? Everyone is very happy!"

At the same time, Guang Moss looked at Giratina with some confusion:
"By the way, where did you get those trees? Are they apple trees?"

Giratina can peek into the real world through mirrors and lakes, and use the power of shadow to drag some things into the destroyed reverse world, but the range of its power is limited, and it is generally not seen using this ability in other areas.

Giratina recalled: [Yes, they were dragged from an area near Sinnoh. They bear a kind of fruit called apples. I didn't steal other people's things! These apple trees are ownerless! ]
