Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 181 The Emperor of the Crystal Tower
Unova region, City N.

N learned of the failure from Zoroark with regret. He smiled and didn't take it too seriously. He calmed the depressed Zoroark and marveled at everything Zoroark saw in his dream.

"Are there a lot of Pokémon gathered on that sky island? Are there the legendary three swordsmen in this area? And unknown powerful Pokémon? That's really beautiful, like the Pokémon's utopia, I want to see it with my own eyes."

Zoroark nodded, "Zorro (If Master N can enter there, he will definitely be able to become friends with the other Pokémon)."

N sighed. It was very difficult for humans to enter the dreams of Pokémon, but it seemed that there was a way.

A long time ago, a large experimental facility located in the suburbs of Sanyao City suffered an unexpected explosion. Now it has been completely destroyed, leaving only some ruins. It is now a place for children to play Pokémon games.

That area is called the Dream Site.

It is said that it is a facility for conducting research using a Pokémon called "Dream Eater" that releases dream smoke. Former researchers wanted to complete a certain device by studying the dreams of Pokémon, and this investigation report is now lying intact in the Plasma Group's research institute.

And his adoptive father, Kui Qisi. No, it should be said that his wise companions had once had such a plan, but it has not been put into practice yet.

By capturing the Dream Eclipse and making it release dream smoke, the mind of the people can be manipulated through dreams, making people want to abandon their Pokémon in their dreams. This way, the Pokémon can be liberated from the Poké Ball without any effort and be freed.

Moreover, there is an idea within the Plasma Group that the method of liberating Pokémon is not limited to cultural dissemination and propaganda. It would be best to use force. Seizing the opponent's Pokémon by force and then liberating them is also a solution.

However, in this case, N feels that such behavior is no different from that of an organization called Team Rocket that is entrenched in a distant area, which goes against his ideals. Besides, wouldn't such reasons and behavior be very inconsistent?
But it seemed that many people in the team agreed with this idea, and gradually, even N himself felt that this might really be a solution.

But it is best to explain the reason to the opponent carefully before the battle, so that the opponent's Pokémon will also realize that it is being enslaved.
"Sanyao City, do you want to go to the ruins of dreams?"

N talked to himself while listening to Zoroark's story about "another hero".

Although Zoroark did not see that human, the fact that he was able to bring together legendary Pokémon to live in peace was enough to show how extraordinary he was.

Besides, being mysterious and disappearing without a trace is not one of the characteristics of a "hero"?
"The legendary dragon wants my treasure, but my treasure is you, my friends. Nothing is more important than my friends. As for the rest of the things, if it thinks those gems and clothes can be considered treasures, it can take as many as it wants."

N does not value these external objects, but Quichis likes to collect these golden things. He believes that a king must have the dignity and appearance of a king, and the castle must be majestic and solemn. Those luxurious decorations naturally have their meaning.

"The warning of the unknown Pokémon. No, I don't agree with it."

"It is precisely because I have found the truth I want to practice that I will pursue and realize it. It is precisely because we are all living beings that humans have no right to deprive Pokémon of their freedom. If it has ever experienced being bound in the past, it should know how precious freedom is."

N was unmoved by Mewtwo's warning, and he heard the hidden meaning of Mewtwo - that powerful Pokémon also has a "master", so can the words spoken by the bound guy represent those Pokémon who truly yearn for freedom?
This only made N more determined to enter the dream world and liberate the Pokémon!

"A recognized hero. I must meet him, but where is he?"

N decided to let his companions in Team Plasma inquire about the existence of the "hero". Although there were almost no clues, the other party had a particularly obvious feature - a workshop!
Although it was a workshop in a dream, the other party might also have a workshop in reality, etc.? N suddenly remembered his adoptive father, Kui Qisi, who seemed to have bought special props from a workshop before.

N searched his pocket and took out a "King's Certificate" of a special shape.

A crown given to the king. It is an item that can evolve certain Pokémon, but it is an artificially made rock rather than a naturally occurring rock, and has the special effect of making Pokémon recognize itself more.

Could it be that this special "King's Certificate" came from that mysterious workshop? However, when N took the initiative to find Guiqisi and asked about the origin of the King's Certificate and the workshop, Guiqisi seemed a little wary. He leaned over the gorgeous long table and raised his head, with a regent's temperament.

"N, why are you asking this?"

"Hmm, did the attempt to recruit the legendary dragon in the dream fail?"

Quichis learned what happened in the dream. Team Plasma has always had a research plan for the dream world. Although this "dream world" is just a small story like a fairy tale in the cognition of many people, the ability of N to communicate with Pokémon has confirmed the real existence of this world.

Unless necessary, Kui Qisi does not intend to let N be exposed to too much external ideas. It took him a lot of effort to cultivate N into the "determined" person he is now, and he cannot be "tainted" by external ideas.

But considering that the "workshop" was also a target that they were trying to win over, Kuiqisi thought that it might be okay even if he told N.

".I wanted to ask the craftsman who can make special items to join our cause and invite him to be the eighth sage. Unfortunately, he is not in Unova at the moment, and it seems that he has no demands in this regard. But it doesn't matter. Other sages have rejected my invitation several times. But as long as he can understand how great a cause it is to liberate Pokémon, he will definitely participate."

"You want to talk to him? The craftsman seems to be very busy. Well, since you want to communicate with him, it's fine."

"But I think the more important thing right now is to gain the recognition of the legendary dragon. Since the recruitment in the dream world has failed, we must act as soon as possible in reality." Guiqisi glanced at Zoroark with obvious disappointment in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"I learned some secret information. Mr. Adek, the champion of the Unova region, seems to be looking for the legendary dragon for some unknown reason. The image he described is exactly the same as the legendary dragon in the dream. Well, now we can confirm one thing, that is, the dragon is really very important, even if its image does not match the legend. It must be the third dragon that has been hidden."

"Moreover, Champion Adek is still searching for a place called 'Lianru Forest'. Even I, who have read a lot of books, have not found any record of this forest. That must be the hiding place of the legendary dragon!"

"There is also a fossil research team from Qibao City. They recently conducted excavations in a wilderness scenic area and seem to have unearthed an ancient relic. I think we can investigate that relic. Also, the fossil researchers seem to have discovered a huge dragon bone. We need to give them some time to study it and see if those dragon bones are related to the legendary dragon we are looking for."

N thought about it for a while and nodded.

"Yes. You are right. Finding the legendary dragon is indeed more important now. I must hurry up and become a true hero."

In an ancient mansion, Unknown Totem E opened his eyes in a daze.

As soon as it woke up, it heard many companions around it calling its name. The Unknown Totem E was startled. When it was fully awake, it found that it had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place!

Hey, hey, I'm still sleeping in the pendulum, oh my god! What are you doing? ! This is the capital of God!

Why are there crystals everywhere in this place? And there is a little girl on the ground. Wait, what is floating in that little girl’s hand?
Aren’t those “symbolic slates”?!
"Are you willing to play with me?" The little girl smiled, and the unknown totems around her responded happily, except for the unknown totem E who looked confused.

No, stop talking to yourself. Who wants to play with you?
Hey, wait, why is that little girl crying while holding a sketchbook? Why are you crying? And you're calling for daddy? Has your dad been reduced to a paper man?
"Annon~" The unknown totem next to it calls the unknown totem E.

Don't be in a daze! The girl is hoping that we can help her realize her wish!
Do you see the shape in the sketchbook?

Just follow that shape and summon a Pokémon. That thing seems to be called
Yan Emperor, right?
