Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 200: Strong and Swift
"The emblem on the stage depicts the Pokémon that created the world?"

Zhulan couldn't pretend not to hear this. She looked back and forth between the two of them with a burning gaze and a smile on her lips.

The ruins of the divine capital contain the lost myths of Sinnoh, and those secrets will be revealed today.

Zhulan had seen those emblems when she came to the ruins of the capital of God. She found some vague records in ancient documents, but the detailed contents of these three emblems were no longer available in the land of Sinnoh.

"The answer to everything I've been looking for is right here!"

Zhulan murmured, restraining her smile, and her expression gradually became somewhat solemn:

"For a long time, I have been investigating the ruins and myths of Sinnoh, perhaps just for a day like this."

“I was led to this stage, but who should I lead?”

The person who guides you is standing right in front of you.

In response to Zhulan's whisper, Guangtai can give an answer.

The ones that Takeran is going to guide are A-Xiang or Qin-Ning, the protagonists of the Johto region. However, in reality, it is impossible for Arceus to be willing to become a partner with a mortal.

In all official history, only one person was followed by Arceus, and this might be Arceus' compensation to that person.

So, Zhulan lost the person she was supposed to guide.

Now, Arceus seems to pay special attention to her. The guide has become the guided, and Zhulan's original role
"I'll take your place."

This is only natural, Guangtai whispered, taking out his tools and starting to work next to the battlefield where the two were fighting.

But if you want to show strength, it's best to have someone.
"Give Uh! (Referee!)"

The Shieldsword Monster volunteered to fly to the center of the field, and actively slapped his shield, expressing his desire to become a referee!

"Oh, you want to be the referee? You seem to be called Shield Sword Monster now?"

"Yeah, Miss Zhulan said that you seem to exist as a king's sword? Oh, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Last time you were still a small sword. I'm not used to seeing you become so big. You look so majestic!"

The Shield Sword Monster glanced in Wang Luo's direction and was very satisfied with Wang Luo's "praise"!
I was still very weak at that time, but I already had the potential to wield a holy sword, didn’t I?

You are quite good at talking!
But even if you say something nice, I won't be biased towards you!

"Oh, I intend to speak with my strength. I don't mean to flatter the referee." Wang Luo smiled awkwardly.

Zhulan was also quite interested: "Will the Shield Sword Monster be the referee?" She glanced at the Light Moss who had started working, and understood.

"Then please use your spiritual power to supervise our battle! I believe that with your power, you will be able to make a fair and beautiful judgment."

"Give it uh!"

However... The spiritual power of the Shield Sword Monster responded, and it felt that Wang Luo also contained a terrible power.

Because one of Aegisblade's specialties is to use spiritual power to manipulate people's minds, in terms of spiritual attainments, once it evolves to its final form, Aegisblade will naturally master this power.

"Is there a hidden power in him?" The Shieldblade whispered to Light Moss, and Light Moss was not surprised.

"That makes sense. After all, this guy could hear Giratina's voice before."

I am not Giratina's first "Contractor"!
If I have to say, Wangluo, who once teamed up with Giratina and prepared to beat Arceus, was the first contractor!
Moreover, as an ancient Sinnoh man, Moro must have some unique skills, just like another ancient Sinnoh man "Goshi" who is still alive in the world.

But before the fight started, the Shieldsword Monster suddenly floated to the center of the battlefield and began to dance.

"Here (Two trainers, do you want to choose items to strengthen yourself before the battle?!)"

"Uh, do you need any props?"

Light Moss translated on the side. I didn't expect the Shield Blade Monster to take the initiative to mention the "pre-battle merchandise selection"! I was thinking about carving the Qianzhou wrist pendant and another "prop" related to Arceus, but I forgot to sell the battle props to the two people in front of me.

"The same goes for fighting tools. Since you want to show your strength and bond, then do your best."

"Ah, I think so too."

Zhulan and Wangluo looked at each other and nodded to each other as if their minds were in sync!
As trainers chosen by God, no one wants to embarrass themselves!
"Choice of Battle Items"

"You choose first." Wang Luo looked at Zhu Lan with a smile. Zhu Lan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Well, thank you. I'll go first."

Guang Moss: "For the battle, we use 'all-out battle', is that ok?"

"That's right. Since we want to show our bond, all Pokémon must be on the battlefield!" Wang Luo looked at Zhulan: "Miss Zhulan has no objection, right?"

"I have no objection." Zhulan nodded slightly. She also agreed with Wangluo's proposal!

A full-scale battle is a 6v6 battle! Both trainers use 6 Pokémon, and the side that loses all 6 Pokémon is considered defeated!
However, there are five items in the same configuration between the two teams. After a hundred years, it is hard to say whether Wang Luo's team is still the same as before.

"This is..." Zhulan had bought some props before. In addition to the familiar props such as the Purity Pendant, the Aura Shawl, the Clay of Light, the Glass Whistle, and the leftovers, there were also shell bells, the King's Certificate, the Silk Scarf, three kinds of herbs, hot rocks, soft sand, etc. that were often seen in the outside battlefield.

However, two props that looked like certificates caught Zhulan's attention.

"Missing insurance. When a move misses due to the hit rate, the speed will be greatly increased." Guangtai pointed to the golden certificate and replied, then pointed to the silver-green certificate: "Weakness insurance. When the weakness is targeted, the attack and special attack will be greatly increased."

“This is a unique item that is not sold online. The materials used to make it are very rare, so I can’t make too many.”

After that, he put out a new batch of props:
"This batch of props will also be sold soon. You can experience their power first, and I can also promote them later."

"The sophisticated series, sophisticated glasses, sophisticated scarves, and sophisticated headbands. Their effect is that when worn, special attacks, speed, and attacks are increased by 1.5 times, but you can only use the same moves, so you have to coordinate with the rotation tactics."

"The escape button. If the Pokémon carrying it is attacked by a move, it can escape the battle and replace the other Pokémon with it. However, since it is a mechanical product, it is not that strong and can be easily damaged in battle, so be especially careful." "Black iron ball, black glasses, spell shovel."

"Indigo Chiffon, Heaven's Feather Robe, Dragon's Veil; Purple Chiffon, Shadow Gem. These items can increase the power of Dragon and Ghost Pokémon. Their role is more towards training."

"Phantom Cape." Guangmoss picked up an old yellow cape. "It's very useful for Pokémon like Garchomp. When a dragon Pokémon is attacked by ice-attribute moves, it will not be damaged but will recover its health!"

Zhulan and Wangluo both stared at the old cloak!

"Oh, Garchomp is hard to resist against ice-attribute moves. Its Dragon + Ground attributes put it at an absolute disadvantage against freezing. Shouldn't you attack it immediately?"

After learning about this effect, Wang Luo's heart was filled with surprise. The craftsman in front of him actually had such an outrageous prop. So to speak, as long as they put on this cloak, all dragon Pokémon will no longer be afraid of ice-attribute attacks, which is equivalent to directly removing a fatal weakness!
Although he really wanted to get this magical cloak, Wang Luo thought about it for a moment.

wrong!

Perhaps this item has high tactical value in other combat situations, but in the current game, it is obviously not that important, and other combat items are more useful than it!
"I've never seen a tool that can completely protect weak points. This tool really makes me excited. I will definitely buy it, but not now. Sometimes I prefer to focus on attacking rather than protecting weak points."

"If you only think about protecting your own weaknesses, this item will be useless if you don't encounter ice-attribute attacks. Other items are more functional than this one, at least for now."

After all, in the real world, there are two fighting styles: "avoid quickly" and "hold on", so as long as your own Pokémon is mobile enough, you will be able to dodge and counterattack even when facing attacks with unfavorable attributes!
Zhulan made a quick decision and chose the "props" that she thought were most suitable for her! Although many of the props here were new to her, as a champion-level trainer, she only needed to think about the matching and use of the battle props in her mind to simulate a rough idea!
Although there are many varieties, props must always be used in conjunction with tactics!

And Bamboo's own Pokémon also carries some special "gear"!
"With the help of these props, I have built a near-perfect battle model! Let's start preparing now!"

"It seems that you are very confident." Wang Luo stepped forward. Now it was his turn to choose. However, like Zhulan, Wang Luo was a material merchant. He had been traveling for so long, so he naturally had some "inventory"! He only picked three props.

"I also found some rare and valuable things during my outing. You can keep an eye on them during the battle later."

Wang Luo smiled, took off his backpack, and took out a "bead" that Guang Tai was very familiar with!
"This is the orb of life!"

"Oh, that's insightful! This is a very rare orb that can greatly increase the power of Pokémon!"

Wang Luo summoned his Pokémon and gave the Life Orb to its Garchomp! And suddenly began to take off his clothes.

"Huh?" Zhulan was stunned for a moment.

Hmm, does stripping off to fight mean he's entering "serious mode"?
"Today is the happiest day of my journey, and I really mean it."

Wang Luo was smiling, and this time his smile did not seem hypocritical. He was filled with joy from the bottom of his heart. Looking at the ruins of the God's Capital which were not far away, his heart was filled with excitement, fighting spirit, and desire. Complex emotions were surging in his chest like a turbulent current!
"It doesn't matter if it's you or me, whoever can step onto the stage of light."

"Show me all your strength. Which of our bonds will be recognized by the gods?"

"I don't have the confidence that I will definitely win, but I will be very unwilling to fail! So I will win steadily!"

Wang Luo's look has changed. He took off the bulky cold-proof merchant's clothes and replaced them with a new look with strange hair. He wore a white short-sleeved top, green pants, and his body was covered with pendants and decorations in the image of Qianzhou wrists!

And those eyes no longer contained any tenderness or teasing, but were filled with indifference and fanaticism!
Zhulan's expression was equally confident and serious:

"You said before that Pokémon exist as the claws and fangs of humans. I don't recognize this kind of bond. It's too cold. Then, would the Pokémon 'Arzeus', who is called a god, recognize this kind of bond?"

"If there is a chance to meet Arceus, I will not miss it! I once dreamed of meeting the Pokémon in Sinnoh mythology, so I am full of confidence in this battle!"

"Of course, even if I lose I will have no regrets, because this is the history that I and the Pokémon have personally created! I am the champion of Sinnoh, but I want to surpass this title and reach a higher level!"

"Go!" The two people spoke at the same time. After a flash of white light, two identical Pokémon landed on the ground with a roar!

"Greco (×2)!"

The appearance of the Land Shark is similar to that of a hammerhead shark. Its body is dark blue with a shark fin on its back. The area from the lower jaw to the upper abdomen is red, and the lower abdomen is yellow. Its claws are white and have single toes. There are some white bone spurs on its body. Its overall image is like a combination of a shark and a dragon.

The two Land Sharks stared at each other, growling in simple communication, and felt the strong pressure coming from each other!

Land Shark (Wang Luo): Ha! You are so young but you have such a strong aura, that's great! But age doesn't matter when fighting! It's impossible to respect the old and love the young! Don't blame me for being mean!

Garchomp (Takeran): It seems to be a very old Garchomp. It is really troublesome to fight with such an old thing, but with Takeran behind me, I will not lose as a trainer who believes in myself!

"Unlike you, I pursue Arceus to realize my ideals." Wang Luo watched the two Garchomps fall into the battlefield and confront each other at the same time, and listened to Zhulan's pre-war declaration from the bottom of her heart. In a trance, he saw someone from hundreds of years ago:

I thoroughly researched the mythology and found myself so obsessed with Arceus...!
Do you have a dream?
That's right, you do. Your dream and mine must be incompatible...

Really? You don't know. But maybe one day, you will also feel troubled and painful.

I am a Pokémon trainer, and you are the one who fights with Pokémon. In the end, I am still alone, but you are different... I think you will realize your dream with Pokémon!
The origin of my story... the stone tablet I got from Giratina, is now given to you. My story has already come to an end with the defeat just now.

Past memories came flooding back, the disastrous defeat at the Sinnoh Temple during the Jade Cleansing Era was still vivid in my mind!

And that young figure gradually overlapped with the great-granddaughter in front of him!
"Is that so? You are also someone who fights with Pokémon!"

"But I am no longer the same as before! Arceus, if you want to test me, then go ahead!"

"Zhulan, do you know the Spear Pillar?"

"What?" Zhulan was slightly startled. Wang Luo smiled brightly for the first time: "That's where you can see Arceus, in the Tianguan Mountain in Sinnoh! And I gave it this name!"

"The broken pillars are like spears! That was an ancient temple that held the highest status in the Sinnoh region a long time ago! Hey, Master Guangmoss, you also know that legend, right?"

"Mentioning ancient mythology during a battle will distract Miss Zhulan." Guangtai saw Wang Luo's thoughts. Zhulan was very obsessed with ancient mythology. If these things were suddenly mentioned during the battle, in the tense moment of the battle between masters, a moment of distraction might cause her to lose the opportunity and be defeated instantly!
Now, Zhulan's interest has been piqued!
"The Tianguanshan Galaxy Team is searching for the wrong place in the document that they can't find. Now is not the time to think about these things!"

Zhulan took a deep breath, and at this moment, Wangluo's Land Shark had already taken action!

This Land Shark is a hundred years older than Zhulan's Land Shark! It is the one that Wang Luo cultivated during the Xicui era!
Dragons are legendary creatures, and as Pokémon, they have a very long lifespan! This should be said by Adu!

Wang Luo showed his fanatical smile and waved his hand violently:
"Dragon Claw: Strong and Fierce!"
