Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 215 VS Plasma Group
Feiyun City is a busy large city. The limited land is used to build new facilities. In the center of the entire huge city, there is a large circular park. All the streets and alleys lead to here.

In the central square, members of the Plasma Group, dressed like classical knights with a touch of modernity, were handing out promotional posters everywhere.

Unlike the speech in Karakusa Town in the game, during the speech in the metropolis, Plasma Team deeply realized the importance of the stage. In fact, they have always paid attention to surface engineering, and only when they are in the countryside will they deliberately stand on the roadside in order to get closer to the masses.

"Give it uh!"

Looking at those smiling men and women in knight uniforms, an uncomfortable feeling flashed in the shield-sword monster's one eye.

The Shieldsword Monster can manipulate people's minds, and its powerful spiritual power is closely related to the mind. Furthermore, it is not impossible for it to see through other people's hearts directly. At this moment, it feels that the humans in front of it are different from those it has seen before.

Their brains seem to be broken.

The waves emanating from them, though good, have an extreme and hidden darkness.

The Shieldsword conveyed this situation to Light Moss and gave his own understanding.

Although they are well disguised on the surface, the distortion in their hearts has already shown that there is something wrong with these people's minds, they are paranoid and extreme, which can be felt from the essential power of the waveguide. This is probably what Emperor Yan once said, "the waveguide of the evil heart."

It is said that the Ho-Oh in the Johto region can sense the waves of happiness. Those who possess the waves of happiness will increase the power of the Ho-Oh, while those who possess the waves of evil will weaken the power of the Ho-Oh.

“Dear friends! We are glad that you can come and listen to our speech.”

A lot of people have gathered on one side of the central square. In addition to those working social animals, trainers and residents who are a little free have gathered here. One can even hear some strange remarks among the residents:
"Hey, you're still keeping your Pokémon locked in the Poké Ball! That's not right, release your friend quickly!"

Because Plasma Team had given speeches more than once, many residents had already agreed with their ideals and were doing "second-hand MLM" to passing trainers. Those trainers would naturally not give up their partners, so under the residents' crazy MLM, it turned into "What are you talking about, you bastard, do you want to fight?"

Ah, it's worthy of the look of Unova, an extreme animal protection organization. It would be perfect if we add vegetarians, armed helicopters, and R9 department store shopping bags.

During conflicts between trainers and local residents, it is natural that members of Team Plasma will come over to "persuade" them, just like what they did in the special episode. They will first "apologize" for their ideas very apologetically, and then begin to guide the trainers a little. After the trainers calm down and stay where they are with the idea that it's okay to listen, the people of Team Plasma will then smile from the bottom of their hearts.

Hmm, it looks like those residents are more like classic "shills".

There is a faint spiritual power emanating from the light moss, and its spiritual power can make people feel ominous, and even subconsciously stay away from it.

Therefore, those ignorant and fanatical residents did not approach the Light Moss. Although the huge body of the Shield Blade Monster and its posture that had never appeared in Unova did attract a lot of people's attention, their attention would soon be diverted.

The person giving the speech on the stage was not Kuei Chisi, and some people around were wondering, "Where is Mr. Kuei Chisi? He used to give the speeches, and every time his speeches were very popular."

"Lord Quichis is carrying out a more important activity to liberate Pokémon, so this speech is in charge of Lord Jero of the Seven Sages. Don't worry, Lord Jero is also highly respected in other regions and is very loved by the locals. The seven sages gathered together for the same great ideal, and they all have a heart that loves Pokémon."

"Sage Jero is dedicated to understanding the relationship between humans and Pokémon. He is an expert in this area, and this speech is to illustrate this point."

The members of Team Plasma explained in a friendly manner to the passers-by, and the old man with a white beard wearing a crimson robe and a small hat had already stood in the center of the stage.

"The theme of this speech is "Liberation and Redemption: A Pokémon Declaration of Freedom."

The old man with a white beard and wearing a crimson coat began to preach to the people below with a kind and compassionate attitude:

The stage lights gradually brightened, and the image of a Pokémon bound by chains was projected on the background.

"My dear compatriots, have you ever heard a faint sigh coming from the Poké Ball in the silence of the night? That sigh does not come from pain, but from the Pokémon's desire for true love."

"We gather here today to face a truth that has been covered up by lies for thousands of years. Humans' love for Pokémon is nothing but a sugar coating covering their own desires."

"Look at your companions. Friends, please answer me a question first. Do you regard Pokémon as family members... or more convenient tools?"

"When the flames of fire-type Pokémon are tamed into bonfires for warmth, when the torrents of water-type Pokémon become pipes for irrigating farmland, when the children of the sky are imprisoned in a small sphere."

"What kind of expression does your Pokémon have when it accepts orders and takes actions? You should recall it carefully. Pokémon may be unfortunate in the hands of humans. We call them partners, but we stuff their wildness, dignity and freedom into a cage called taming."

"What is the relationship between humans and Pokémon?"

"As the saying goes, a bosom friend is a friend indeed. If there is someone in this world who can understand me, then even if he is far away, he is just around the corner. Understanding between people is difficult, so what about the Pokémon who live with us day and night?"

"We think we understand the needs of Pokémon, but Pokémon are just controlled by Poké Balls, forced to obey our orders and cater to our preferences. This interdependent relationship is fragile and wrong. When have we really listened to their voices and understood their needs?"

"We are the awakened ones, the ones chosen by fate. This is why the Plasma Group was established. We want to be the bridge connecting the two worlds! We want to be the messengers of fate that allow people and Pokémon to communicate with each other."

"The real understanding is to let go and let them fly in the sky, land and ocean where they belong. However, there are always some fools who misinterpret freedom as abandonment. They cannot hear the cries of Pokémon. No, holding a righteous heart and letting Pokémon return to where they belong is the real liberation and freedom!"

Jeroboam's speech was highly inflammatory, and the people around him listened in a daze. Although there were occasional dismissive responses such as "He's so stupid" and "Forget it, there are people who think that way," more people were deeply shaken.

"Today, many people have understood the true relationship between humans and Pokémon, and have joined our Plasma Team because of this." Sage Jero pointed to a member of the Plasma Team, who stood up with a firm look on his face, full of excitement and indignation:

"I used to be an elite trainer, and my dream was to win the Unova League championship. To achieve this, I constantly honed the Pokémon I had, trained and fought with them. I once thought that was our common dream."

"But later, after listening to Team Plasma's speech, I clearly realized that I had been enslaving my Pokémon all along. They were not real friends. They only endured those painful trainings in order to help me realize my dream. But I ignored this and imposed my enthusiasm and dreams on them!"

"I made them suffer so much pain. When I realized this, I broke out in cold sweat. What kind of a hateful person was I? I loved Pokémon so much, but I used them as tools to win!"

"Capture, cultivate, evolve, exchange, all just to become stronger. Now, my unrealistic nightmare has been shattered, and I clearly understand what kind of world I am in. Everyone, put down the Pokémon in your hands and give them freedom!"

"Give me." The Shieldsword's eyes became more and more dignified, because it felt that the minds around it were becoming alienated, and a large amount of discouragement and gloomy waves began to dissipate.

And...wait, there is a super power emanating!

There was a halo of spiritual power in the eyes of the Shield Sword Monster. In the crowd, there was a big-eyed monster with strange super powers radiating outward.

The Big Ogres look like classic aliens. In fact, they are indeed Pokémon from outer space, and their appearance is like a sci-fi product of the atomic punk era.

boom!
A black shadow swam along the shadows of people on the ground, and directly turned into the shape of a sword blade under the feet of the Dayu monster!

Shadow attack! This is how the knight greets!

The big monster was knocked down by the blow. A man wearing a cloak and whose face could not be seen was startled. He wanted to find the source of the shadow sword's attack and locked his eyes on the tall shield sword monster.
However, there is no evidence.

The cloaked man did not see any signs of the Shieldsword taking action, but he did exchange a glance with the Light Moss.

The cloaked man was suddenly dazed, and quickly lowered his head, disappearing from Guang Moss' sight in an instant!

"Big Woof. Teleport!" Shieldblade secretly gave the Pokémon a fierce blow, and Light Moss could see it clearly. Although the Big Woof was hiding deep in the crowd, the spirit power could detect it.

It is said that this Pokémon can use mental power to control the opponent's brain and rewrite the memory images in its brain. Xiaozhi was once deeply harmed by it, but he also found a way to crack it - this method of rewriting memory is useless on idiots.

"It ran away. The Psychic Pokémon is so fast!"

But during the few minutes of being interrupted by this big monster, the Plasma Team Sage on the stage had already begun to call on everyone to "take physical action", and many people were in tears, and some were dejected and thoughtful, but they all opened their Poké Balls one after another.

An old man was dejected: "Ah, what should I do? I have lived with dozens of Pokémon in my life, but when I think about it, I imposed it on them."

The depressed citizen opened the Poké Ball and released a seed iron ball: "Hey, go away and live a good life from now on."

The elite white-collar worker repeatedly stroked the battle medal on the collar of the Sun Eevee, and suddenly broke the lock: "Be good, go get some real sun."

The backpacker sighed: "After twenty years of adventure, it turns out that I am their shackles." Then he released a Catish Growler and a proud pheasant that had been with him for a long time.

The Pokémon that were released on the spot were still in a daze. They didn't understand what their trainers were doing for a moment, and hurriedly chased after them to try to stop their behavior, but these humans were so self-moved that they cried and ran further away.

"Release them directly in the city? If you really care about the Pokémon, you should at least bring them back to their corresponding habitats. How can they survive wandering in the city?"

Guang Moss frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him. Plasma Group's speech was inflammatory and misleading, and the big monster just now might have played a role in it.

"They lack the confidence to get along well with Pokémon, and this is the group of people that are affected by superpowers."

More and more people were releasing animals around, and some fanatical local residents were actively urging those people to do so. However, there were also trainers who thought that this speech was simply stupid. They angrily pushed away those who came up to dissuade them and left.

However, this behavior angered some of the crazy residents, who shouted at the trainers to give up their Pokémon, and the members of Team Plasma only "slightly prevented" them in the process. In the end, some people were forced to give up some Pokémon due to pressure and accusations.

A large number of Pokémon were running around in panic in the city. They were confused and didn't know where to go. The members of Team Plasma gathered around them "kindly", releasing their kindness and saying that they would send the Pokémon to where they should go!

The confused and helpless Pokémon didn't know what to do, but they thought that the people in knight uniforms in front of them were not bad people, so they decided to follow their guidance and enter the space behind the stage.
[Don't go! These humans are deceiving you! There is great malice hidden in their waveguides! ]

The spiritual call of Shieldsword echoed in the hearts of every Pokémon, forcing them to stop. Those Pokémon turned their heads in confusion, and for a moment all the Pokémon's eyes fell on the huge Shieldsword!

Incredibly, all the Pokémon had the same thought in their minds at the same time. Although Shieldsword was also a strange Pokémon, they felt a natural closeness to it, as if this strange sword-shaped Pokémon was born to be their leader.

It's the King of Pokémon!
This strange Pokémon also attracted the attention of Plasma Group again. Because the "effect" of spiritual power was actively removed by Aegisblade, the people who had been confused before realized that this Pokémon was "too conspicuous"!

"Superpowers and spiritual powers are both very useful powers when it comes to concealing oneself."

The light moss that was with the Shield Blade Monster naturally also attracted attention.

"Look, what's that Pokémon?!"

"That man is its trainer! You should also release your Pokémon!"

"Stop exploiting Pokémon. What you should do is give them freedom."

The residents who were chasing the passing trainers were attracted by the Shieldblade and gave up on the passing trainers. At this time, the Light Moss and the Shieldblade suddenly became the target of public criticism.

"He's carrying a Poké Ball!"

"Sure enough, he's also the one who uses Poké Balls to control Pokémon!"

"Let's just take it! For the freedom of Pokémon!"

"Did you hear that? That's the Pokémon's laughter of freedom..."

The only sound that truly echoed in the twilight was the hollow sound of hundreds of empty Poké Balls rolling in the wind.

Seeing some people trying to rob Poké Balls by force, Guang Moss couldn't help but sigh again that it was worthy of being the Unova region.

Isn't robbery against the law? If so, the Rockets would be considered a legal organization here.

Guang Tai raised his palms with five fingers spread out towards the few people who were trying to approach aggressively. In just a moment, a huge spiritual force directly blasted into their consciousness!

Click!
Another way to use mind amplification is "purification"!
Well, this move feels quite similar to a certain Pharaoh's "Mind Shock"! Coupled with the spiritual power shock, it directly affects the souls of these ordinary people!
Really, in the world of Pokémon, where superpowers are everywhere, how dare you do something like robbery? Even if a three-meter-tall homeless man is in front of you, you can't shoot him. After all, how do you know if he is King AZ?

"Ugh!"

The residents' eyes were spinning and they fell to the ground like dumplings. This large-scale corpse incident made the people in the surrounding plasma group nervous. The sage Jero, who had been watching the situation on the podium and preparing to come down to brush up his favorability and brainwash others after the "conflict was over", also frowned.

Ah, this won’t work!
Although the speech session has ended, the release of animals activity has not yet ended. Why did someone suddenly come out to get in the way?
The trainers who were bullied by the residents were also full of anger and resentment. It seemed that today's release activity would end here.
Jero has not been on business trips very often and is not very experienced yet. When he was planning to end this speech in his mind, the members of the Plasma Team took action first!

Hey! Why did you start first? Shouldn't you obey the orders of a wise man like me? !

Jero frowned, but thought that if he could get rid of this troublesome person in front of him, maybe the persuasiveness of Plasma Team would become better. Anyway, "street fighting" was not included in the items of public security management. Which city in the world is not like this?
"Come on, Cool Leopard!"

The female knight leading the Plasma Team was very aggressive. At her call, several members of the Plasma Team released their Pokémon to fight at the same time. It was obvious that she was a small boss-level figure.

Covered with purple fur and with a hollow yellow triangular pattern on its back, this ocelot-like Pokémon lands lightly, with a hint of ferocity hidden in its crescent-shaped eyes, which is the hunting nature of cats. As described in its illustrations, although people are easily deceived by its beautiful fur and figure, it is actually a fickle and violent Pokémon.

"Secret attack on key points!"

The female knight launched an attack directly. The Cool Panther's front paws glowed with sharp purple light. It rushed towards the Shield Sword Monster at an extremely fast speed, and then -

Holy sword!

Very effective against evil-attribute Pokémon!
The Shieldsword swung out with its holy sword, chopping the Cool Leopard away at an even faster speed. The strong wind caused by the sword energy directly blew away several hostile Pokémon around, and the Cool Leopard hit the female knight hard, causing her to scream. Both the person and the cat were thrown several meters away, and turned into a circle of eyes.

Pokémon and trainers lost their ability to fight at the same time!

"Ms. Anjie!"

"One, just one strike?"

The expressions of the members of the surrounding Plasma Group changed instantly, from nervousness to fear! No matter what, the extraordinary Pokémon body of the Shieldsword Monster, like a giant door sword, gave others a great sense of oppression!

An oppressive shield-sword monster?
"No, don't be afraid! This guy is the enemy that prevents Pokémon from being free!"

"That's right, fellow comrades, let's gather our strength, we are fighting for a just cause!"

"For the happiness of Pokémon, we must not lose!"

The members of the Plasma Group speak politely, and of course there are a group of people among them who truly believe that they are serving a just cause. This group of people will most likely become the "fundamentalist White Plasma Group" in the future.

But now, whether black or white, they are mixed together, indistinguishable from each other, hypocrisy and sincerity are intertwined, striving towards that unrealistic and absurd dream.

"Go ahead, centipede!"

"The porter!"

"Ouch, Ball Mushroom! Paralyze it!"

King's Shield. Guang Moss ordered in his mind.

Although these Pokémon cannot hurt the Shieldsword now even if they attack.

The tough King's Shield was raised, and the attacks of the three Pokémon not only had no effect at all, but their own abilities were also reduced!
Continuous chop!

Aegislash held its body horizontally, and the huge sword had extraordinary flexibility. Before the three Pokémon could see what was happening in front of them, the impact of the sword attack had already penetrated their bodies and knocked them directly back onto the members of Team Plasma!
"How pitiful. These defeated Pokémon, the damage they have suffered! Open your eyes and see how much pain Pokémon battles and Pokémon trainers make them suffer! I don't want to see Pokémon become like this anymore!"

The elite trainer who was previously invited by the sage to give a speech on the stage now showed a compassionate expression and glared at Guangtai fiercely!

"Pokémon battles must be banned!"

Guangtai pondered and prepared to give this man a mental shock to make him wake up.

However, Guang Moss still feels that what Plasma Group does sometimes is too inconsistent with what they say.

".You said you wouldn't let Pokémon fight, but weren't you the ones who released Pokémon to attack others in the first place? What's wrong? Are you so unconfident in your own ideas that you need to emphasize them repeatedly and take action first to convince yourself?"

"Once someone has different ideas from yours, you will do your best to exclude them?"

"You showed your fangs too quickly. You should at least keep them for a while longer."

"No!" The elite trainer was very annoyed: "The Pokémon of Team Plasma are 'companions'. They voluntarily joined our Poké Balls in order to liberate more Pokémon. This is different from coercion! Abandoning cruel training and slavery, the power that my companions and I now have is the greatest 'love' and 'understanding'!"

"I'll show you the power of me and my new companions!"

The elite trainer threw out six Poké Balls at once, and Guang Moss felt vaguely familiar with what he said.

Oh, by the way, isn’t this Team Rocket’s internal “Rocket Gachapon Machine” that can be used to rent Pokémon?

The only clever thing about Team Plasma is that they put a layer of "moral cloak" on the process of seizing Pokémon. It has to be said that this is very useful and most people buy into it.

If joining Team Rocket is simply to make money, then joining Team Plasma is for spiritual pursuit. For some people who think they are powerful, it is indeed easier to identify with Team Plasma's goals.

The Poké Balls on both sides of the Light Moss backpack opened automatically, and Miss Skirt and the Forest Turtle fell to the ground.

Three against six.

The advantage is mine.

"Let me see the bond. That's what I was going to say."

The Light Moss stared at those Pokémon, and those Pokémon were full of fighting spirit at first, but when they saw the Light Moss, they became confused.

The people in front of them gave them a different feeling, a feeling that could not be described in detail.

The same goes for the three Pokémon.

The Aegisblade's spiritual call echoed in their hearts:
[Don't be fooled by those people. They are just using the guise of idealism to do things that go against your heart! ]

Among the crowd around, a green-haired man with his hat pulled down was staring at the Shieldsword Monster with empty eyes.
