Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 664 [Duel Kingdom], On the Eve of Saifu's Evolution, the Hero of Oblibia!
Every story has an ending, and as a fairy tale from Almia, The Prince's Tears should also have a fairy tale ending.

"The ancient darkness that enveloped the earth, obscured the sky, and pierced the sea has vanished."

The Ranger Alliance needs to conduct a statistical survey of the entire area and handle the aftermath. However, due to the large-scale use of the [Fusion Cursor], the damage caused by this incident is not as great as originally expected.

"All the helicopters that attacked the League headquarters were shot down or frozen, and legendary Pokémon from Galar appeared throughout Almia, just as described in ancient tales."

"Legendary Pokémon began to appear in the world and quelled the conflicts on the land."

Part of the team sent by the great pirate Ghost Durub was also captured, while he himself fled in panic near the Alliance with his remaining troops.

For a great pirate, his role was merely to assist in the attack. When the situation turned unfavorable, his true nature was to decisively abandon useless subordinates and retreat.

He also dreamed of finding the prince of the sea, gaining the power to control the ocean, and becoming an unbridled sea emperor. How could he be caught in the headquarters of a righteous organization!

The following day at the Alliance headquarters, Professor Shinhara reunited with the three-person team. He looked very emotional and mentioned Angel Corporation and the situation in various parts of Almia.

"Did you get enough rest yesterday? You've all worked so hard!"

"President Black has also awakened from his long nightmare. He said he had a terrible dream. That's true. For decades, his life has been dominated by another personality. For him, it was like sitting in a movie theater watching a movie that would never stop playing."

“No, he should be called White Hall now. Black means darkness, and White means white, but he says that even when he is deep in nightmares, he knows what he has done.”

Hikari: "So, President White is going to [a faraway place to atone for his sins] next, is that right?"

This was the president's original fate. After being controlled by the Dark Crystal, he was also held responsible for the events surrounding the King of Almia. His life was completely thrown into chaos after encountering the Dark Crystal. If we were to blame President Black, it would be that he was unable to resist the darkness within him and fell into depravity.
That doesn't seem to be the right way to judge it.

"Do not."

Unexpectedly, Professor Shinhara shook his head: "Although I don't know what President White is thinking, he said he wants us to handcuff him. Regarding the problems at Angel Company, he seems to intend to hand the company over to Dr. Ichi and reorganize the personnel."

"At the same time, he provided a complete list of members of the Dark Clan, and the Almia region is about to enter an era of large-scale manhunts."

Renmei waved her hand: "Personnel list. The organization's leader betrayed his subordinate, but that's not entirely unreasonable, since it was President Black, not President White, who founded the Dark Group."

So, do presidents of big companies ultimately end up in jail?
The president of this company ended up becoming cellmates with Chairman Rose, but the two were imprisoned in different prisons.

"At least one thing we can be at ease about."

“Angel Corporation was originally founded for energy development in the region, and now it can probably return to what its original founder, Dreemhall, envisioned.”

"For the bright future of Armia."

Professor Shinhara coughed lightly, and Elena, standing beside him, also spoke up:
"Through the Galactic Team's energy conversion technology, we can now extract energy from geothermal energy and generate electricity on a large scale and with high efficiency using the desert's energy. Combined with Galar's technology, this means that our region will no longer need to rely on [oil]!"

"The volcano of the Red Prince, the desert of the Yellow Prince, will both become places for large-scale power generation, and the ancient city of the Blue Prince, well, I think..."

Lightmoy: "How about this? Send some of the rangers to the ancient city to receive training in [Waveguide]?"

Professor Shinhara: "Waveguide training? You mean..."

Lightmoss: "The Blue Prince and his Lucario are among the progenitors of Aura. Those who possess Aura can sense the souls, good intentions, malice, and emotions of other beings, and can even avoid traps. For Rangers, having Aura would make their work much easier."

"The Aura, which has been circulating in the world for a long time, is now almost unused by many people. Although there are many trainers of Lucario, it is very difficult to become a user of the Aura."

"Of course, it's not necessary to reach the level of an Envoy. Just mastering the waveguide and reaching the level of an Apprentice is enough, I think."

"So, as the heroes who saved Almia, shouldn't you two go over there and give it a try?"

The waveguide messenger is about to start wholesaling. Lightmoss thinks this idea is quite interesting!
"Every living being possesses the power of waveguides, and through rigorous training, one can master the essentials of using them!"

Renmei and Chuangyi were both taken aback.

The girl immediately complained, "Ugh?! I really don't want to go through that hellish city again."

Chuangyi scratched his head: "Although I am very interested, the ancient city of Almia is indeed... However, it seems suitable as a place for cultivation."

"Besides, the real hero is you, Captain."

Guangtai shook her head: "The prince's tears are three. Although one person can do everything, what I want to tell you is that the most important thing is teamwork, and..."

"As the chief ranger, my contribution to the Ranger Alliance is to cultivate a stronger next generation of successors. In fact, you are already stronger than before."

“All the rangers are heroes; this is the essence of ‘the power of the masses.’ As for me, I am merely a ‘swordsman from a foreign land.’”

The atmosphere became lively. Professor Shinhara then spoke:

"People from a distant land left behind new stories. Let the fire flow and transform into light. This is excellent archival material! What the three princes wanted to express and leave behind is also about the radiance of the soul."

"It seems there are still many secrets hidden in the [mind] aspect! How wonderful! Let's explore it with anticipation!"

"And the regional Pokédex. Hmm, I've been thinking about this since I came back from the meeting. I've been investigating the distribution of Pokémon in the Almia region, from the snow country to the volcanoes, and then to the desert. You've successfully obtained quite a bit of data, haven't you?"

Lightmoss: "Although we haven't fully investigated it yet, we've recorded information about most of the Pokémon we encountered."

“This is it.” Professor Shinhara looked at the two children: “Afterwards, I plan to entrust you with completing the Pokédex for the Almia region, recording all the Pokémon distributed in this area.”

"Of course, not now. First of all, it should be noted that..."

Souichi and Hitomi were taken aback, but they didn't back down. Then, Professor Shinhara announced something even more important:

"From this moment forward, you are the thirteenth and fourteenth chief of the Ranger Alliance!"

In just a few days, they rose from nobody to the top, and their potential has been fully developed. Guangtai thought to himself, the "Royal City Duo" in the remote desert are really not easy to deal with.
In particular, Regigigas, which is associated with the Yellow Prince, is a hidden target in the game and is extremely difficult to deal with. It can be said to be one of the most powerful Pokémon in the entire Almia region.

Not only is it difficult to capture even with a fusion cursor, but when Regigigas moves, every step it takes creates a shockwave, dropping huge rocks, causing earthquakes, and launching sharp stone attacks in all directions.

"congratulations!"

"This feels like a dream."

"Thank you, Captain."

The Ranger Alliance welcomed new chiefs, and Lightmoss noticed that Elena's expression was somewhat subtle, and heard her muttering about Panima.

The genius girl defeated the genius boy. Panima merged the technologies of various organizations, enabling everyone to use the Fusion Cursor, which greatly increased the strength of the Ranger Alliance. Elena, who was also a mechanic, couldn't help but face reality again while feeling emotional.

How should I put it? It's like we've been "slapped to death on the beach by the younger generation."

"Elena, you seem a bit anxious about the machinery. By the way, have you considered a part-time job?"

"part time?"

"That's right, I heard that your favorite Pokémon is Dragonair, right?"

"Huh?! Where did you hear that from? How do you know?"

"You should know that I am one of the Elite Four of the Padia region. Well, to put it simply, we are planning to build some special challenge facilities and need mechanical personnel. Would you be interested in working part-time in the Padia region? By the way, there are as many Dratini as stray dogs on the roadside in our region."

"If Professor Shinhara has no objections?!"

By persuading Mudan, Niu Ma was recruited again. Guangtai coughed lightly, indicating that this was all for the construction and prosperity of the region.

Meanwhile, on Panima's side, the blue-haired girl walked out of the research room on the third floor and strode up to the top floor. Before the moss could leave, she waved vigorously!

"Wait a moment, Captain Lightmoss!"

"team leader?"

"Uh, that's what everyone calls you. Hello! I'm Panima!"

The blue-haired little girl's eyes shone with a burning light:
"It was you, Captain, who recommended me to the Alliance. Well, how should I put it? Here, I've touched, seen, and even personally created a lot of interesting machines! The fusion of the cursor and the energy amplification device is my masterpiece."

"In Oblibia, I've been researching some special energy machines, like those that can purify polluted air instantly. I've heard there are similar Pokémon in faraway places, and I'm quite interested."

"In short, thank you very much!"

"Also, Professor Shinhara said you have a very impressive level of research on history, mythology, and local customs. My mother didn't attend the previous meeting, but after receiving the news from here, she heard that you, Captain, know about the history of Oblibia, so she wanted to ask you about it!"

"My mother is a very famous history professor, Lera!"

Lightmoy: "Oblibia, huh? The Ranger Alliance is going to be active there soon, and there are indeed things I need to explain. Ah, please wait a moment."

"I wonder if the Ether Foundation will find anything dangerous in that distant Paradise Lost. Compared to the Almia region, Oblibia is indeed more dangerous. What is hidden in Oblibia is truly terrifying."

Professor Shinhara: "Afterwards, we will also send people to Oblibiya. The [prophecy] is being fulfilled one after another."

"Before that, we need to have He Fu train them to master [Flying], and perhaps also learn a little about [Waveguide]."

Rangers who are skilled at piloting the large Mukes for long-range flights are called Flying Rangers. Only Flying Rangers can traverse distant regions and carry out missions quickly.

Therefore, Professor Shinhara had already prepared a list of people to be sent to the Oblibya region.

"As the heroes who saved Almia, I feel very sorry that you have been immediately dispatched to carry out other missions. However, as Rangers, protecting the survival of humans and Pokémon, as well as preventing the destruction of the natural environment, is the purpose and meaning of our organization."

"As the captain, Lightmoth will be leaving this region temporarily and returning to a faraway place. The chief of this foreign land cannot always be by our side, but when you go to the new land, you will surely meet this island king again."

Hitomi and Souichi have not yet carried out missions in remote areas. As high-ranking patrol officers, they do not yet possess the remote combat experience that Fuugetsu and Hinata have. However, Hikari knows that the two of them are growing at an astonishing rate.
That's right, in just six months, they will go from being "newbies who have never carried out missions in other regions" to becoming the superiors of the two main characters of the first generation of Rangers, and will travel to the Sinnoh region during the DP series.

But now, because of my involvement, it seems their job duties may need to change a bit.
Renmei: "Yes! I guarantee I'll complete the mission! As the new chief, I must shoulder the corresponding responsibilities!"

Chuang Yi: "As a ranger, this is my duty!"

"But, is the captain leaving here to go back to Alola?"

Lightmoy: "We won't be going back for now, but we'll definitely meet in that area. Oblibia and Alora are both warm islands, and they have similarities in geography, climate, and even mythology."

Professor Shinhara looked at Hikari and handed her a document:
"This is the part you told me about before. I've rewritten and planned it in detail. There's no time to rest, so please, as the captain, issue the mission. It's about Oblibia!"

Guangtai glanced at the list: "Uh, I see. After I left the team, the number of members actually increased instead of decreasing."

"So, this is truly an all-star lineup."

Creation 1: "Increasing instead of decreasing?"

Renmei: "By the way, where's Huangyao? I didn't see him yesterday."

Guangtai: "Huangyao is also on the list of personnel this time, but the professor will probably have you train in flying and waveguide first. I think with your talent, you should be able to reach the apprentice level very quickly."

"Actually, that's enough."

"Then, the final task is hereby assigned!"

"Yes!" The two men stood with their hands behind their backs, their expressions serious, accepting the long investigation mission!
The fierce battles of the past few days, the new world you've seen, and the incredible power of spirits—these will become some of the most precious experiences of your life!

Lightmoy: "[Investigate the truth about Oblibia]!"

"The three-person team will be upgraded to a six-person team, and Panima, as the local mechanic, will provide you with remote assistance."

"In addition to the mechanics, the newly added personnel also include the eleventh chief [Huangyao]."

"And two aerial patrolmen skilled in high-altitude combat, Xia Ye and Nan Mei!"

In fact, Guangtai thought that since the goal was to concentrate efforts on the search and capture of the Oblibiya region, she should also bring the original protagonists, Fuugetsu and Hinata, so that she could have a 6+1 configuration of six protagonists and one formidable rival.

This is equivalent to having seven chief engineers and one top-tier mechanic operating simultaneously in the Obliban region! Such a joint operation is unprecedented!

This way, if a disaster were to occur in Oblibia later, the powerful Ranger Alliance would be able to intervene in time to stop them. However, even though there are two fewer people now, the team is still fully equipped.

Xia Ye and Nan Mei are the two main characters in the third season of Ranger. It is unclear whether they are older or younger than the main characters in the second season. They seem to be characters from the same era as the second-generation main characters, but they did not appear in the second season.

In the third installment, they will simultaneously conduct an investigation in the Oblibia region, and for the first time in the Pokémon series, a battle featuring "Soaring High" will appear!

【High-altitude】, 【Riding】, 【Pokémon Assistance】. Many new gameplay elements in subsequent generations of mainline games were inherited from the third series, Trails of Light. Therefore, the Oblivia region can be said to have ushered in a new era for Pokémon, and can almost be regarded as a 【pioneer】.

Creation 1: "Xia Ye and Nan Mei? A boy and a girl?"

Renmei: "I haven't heard of this name before, but it's normal for us newcomers not to have heard of it."

Professor Shinhara coughed lightly: "They are just like you. They haven't been patrol officers for long. They were just on missions in other places before, and they were high-altitude specialized tracking patrol officers, just like Hefu."

"However, Lightmoss mentioned them to me before. One of them is related to the legend of the 'Hero of Light' in the Oblibia region, but we can't be sure who it is right now."

"Ahem. To find out who the Hero of Light is, we'll probably have to find the stone tablets or records from the past."

Hitomi: "Huh? We're supposed to be looking for the Hero of Light, so why is this related to the records on the stone tablets from the past?"

Professor Shinhara gave a mysterious smile.

"Then let your captain explain."

The moss looked at the two confused little ones:

"This is the key information that needs to be provided regarding this mission!"

"First, as an international police officer, I want to tell you about the potential dangers lurking in the Oblibia region, and about a friend of mine in Oblibia. It's a very powerful Pokémon, but I haven't been in contact with it for a long time, and I don't know its current location."

"Considering its ability to change its appearance and erase the memories of its enemies, it might currently be hiding on some island conducting an investigation. Its name is, [Mewtwo]!"

The two little ones were stunned; at this moment, they did not yet understand the power that the name represented.

Professor Shinhara already knew about these things, so he nodded slightly and added:
"Mewtwo is a new type of Pokémon, artificially created, possessing power comparable to Legendary Pokémon. It is classified as a Genetic Pokémon. Some of the researchers who participated in creating Mewtwo on New Island may have traveled to Oblivia, therefore..."

"The confirmed Mewtwo individuals are Individual 1 and Individual 2. The friend that Momiji mentioned is probably Individual 1, whose whereabouts are unknown, but has been confirmed in the Kanto region."

"And we have ample evidence that some researchers may have hoped to use ancient powers to create a stronger [Individual 3]."

"Your mission includes liberating Individual 3 or stopping its production. This is part of your task."

The two little ones' expressions became quite serious.

It turns out that this new final mission is not just a simple "investigation"!
The moss nodded:

"The six of you must work with the local ranger, Targa, who is also Panima's father, to find the key personnel in this mission and monitor and control them."

"During this process, the other party may exhibit stress response and may attempt to kidnap Panima and Professor Lera, so be careful."

"In the Oblibia region, a hidden hostile organization called the [Pokémon Kidnapping Team], and their superior organization's leader, the [Tea Party]!"

"The kidnapping team is a subordinate of the Tea Party. What we know is that the internal leadership consists of three people: [Purple Eyes], who is good at archaeology; [Red Eyes], who is good at combat; and [Blue Eyes], a female leader who is good at piloting submarines, mechanics, and investigation."

"Their main base of operations is a huge submarine, just like the Great Pirate Ghost Durub. They also use a special ZZ flying machine that allows them to move freely in the high sky, which is why we have dispatched flying patrolmen who can fight them."

"Well, it's worth mentioning that one of the three executives, Blue Eyes, is someone we can try to win over. Her distinguishing features are that she wears a light blue vest, white shorts and boots, has short yellow hair, and a blue highlight on her forehead."

"Things will go smoothly if we can get her help, but she probably won't cooperate with us until her employer abandons her. Therefore, one of your goals in this trip to Oblibia is to capture this unfortunate lady."

"And the Tea Party should be called the Tea Party in full."

"Decades ago, the four leaders of the Tea Party, with their various abilities, were known as the Phantom Thieves and traveled around the world stealing all sorts of rare treasures. They were notorious at the time. But as they grew older, they lost the passion of their youth and their strength declined."

"It was at that time that they learned of the legendary treasure, the Golden Armor, hidden in the Oblibiya region. Legend has it that this armor came from another world and suddenly fell into this world. During the reign of kings, the iron armor possessed by the Oblibiya region was all modeled after the power of the Golden Armor."

"It is said that after donning the golden armor, the wearer will live forever and possess eternal life!"

The information about the Lightmoss surprised many people present.

Eternal life?!
“In other regions,” Professor Shinhara coughed lightly, “it seems that there are also tales related to eternal life, but the actual situation is unclear.”

But the perceptive young man discovered the blind spot.

Genesis 1: "Wait, if the person who wears the golden armor can gain eternal life, then what about the first owner of the armor?"

Guangtai smiled and nodded: "That's right, you noticed. The Golden King is dead."

"How did the Golden King, named Allen, also known as Yurong, die? There are two streams in his history. Time is the river, and different eras are the streams. What happens in the streams does not necessarily affect the future outcome."

"But people in the future can influence the past by virtue of their special powers."

"The four leaders of the Tea Party were four benevolent men with a good reputation in Oblibya."

"The first person was called Afushi. He was a wrestler and thief with immense strength. He wore green clothes and a round hat. He lived among the people of Coconut Grove Village and helped them cut down trees and find herbs to make a living."

"The second person is called Therese. She used to be a skilled thief in disguise. She wore a beige coat, had pink hair, lived in the Water Stream Resort, and deceived the local elders by posing as an aristocrat."

"The third person is called Mojik. He used to be a thief who was skilled in magic. He wore a black and white robe, a black top hat, and had red hair. He often went to Milondo Island to perform interesting transformation magic for the children."

"The fourth person, and the true leader of the Tea Party, Edward, was dressed in white, had white hair, and a curly beard."

"He is now a traveling doctor. In the past few decades, he has provided free medical consultations, treated the sick, and saved countless lives. No one could have imagined that this doctor who always does good deeds was actually a notorious thief who once made the world fear him."

"They haven't started yet, probably because they haven't found the ancient [Manipulation Gloves] in the ruins. It's a very powerful ancient artifact, one of the relics from the era of kings."

"The Oblibia region has a history of 4000 years. Between 4000 and 3000 years ago, the ancient king invented this glove. It can shrink Pokémon and store them in the glove, like transferring them through a computer, storing them in an unknown space, while controlling the Pokémon's mind to fight."

"These were originally unique tools used by the ancient 'armored men,' items related to the Pokémon of creation. The control gloves and armor are still largely preserved in the ruins. However, the gloves have no side effects when used, but once the armor is worn, one may be corrupted by the consciousness of the ancient warriors, making one's personality, style, and behavior increasingly resemble those of the ancient warriors."

"As for the legend of the Hero of Light."

Lightmoss also looked at Panima, whose eyes were full of curiosity:

"Let's analyze it together here, about the [Hero of Light] and [Legend of the Rainbow] of Oblibbia!"

"In the first part of history, the Golden King was bewitched by the elders of the Dark Temple and controlled by his own subordinates. He extracted the life force of a large number of Pokémon, or perhaps through other means, he created an item called the 'Shiny Orb'."

"That was the power from the creator god. He thus commanded the sky fortress to begin oppressing the people of the earth, manipulating the Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos, known as the kings of the sky, to provide energy to the fortress and construct a black barrier that could withstand any invasion."

"A colossal fortress looms high in the sky, perhaps comparable to the divine artifacts created by the First King. The fortress is equipped with a weapon called the [Punishment Beam], which mimics the power from the creator god. Its power can shatter mountains, evaporate oceans, and destroy islands."

"The golden armor can control all the armored people, whether they are kind-hearted priests or brave and fearless warriors. They are all controlled by the golden armor and have launched an attack on the people, destroying the seven great temples they were guarding and betraying Arceus, the Pokémon that created the world."

"The hero of light from afar, riding Raikou, Entei, and Suijun, summoned Latios and Latias, which cleaved the sky, and began the battle against the Armored Warriors."

"The Armored Men's fighting method is to use gloves to control the minds of Pokémon and make them fight for them."

"The priests' methods of fighting are even more wondrous."

"They carved the images and patterns of Pokémon onto huge hieroglyphic stone slabs, and when they made these gestures during battle, the slabs would stand up with a roar, summoning monsters from the light and launching a [Duel] against their opponent."

"Those stone tablets are called Imprint Tablets, also known as Heart Tablets. It seems that sometimes, ancient Pokémon would leave behind these tablets after battling humans, and no one knows their origin."

"And the heroes of light use the same trajectory and emblem, while also wielding a spinning top-like tool. With this tool, they can cooperate with Pokémon. That's right, this spinning top is... the [Hunting Beacon]!"

"The hero defeated the armored men, and in order to liberate the three bewitched Sky Kings, the hero raised the Rainbow Grail at the Rainbow Altar. The ceremony of inheriting the Grail has been passed down from generation to generation in the Coconut Grove Village of Oblibia."

"The rainbow light from afar eliminated the beam of punishment, quelled the chaos in the world, liberated ice, fire, and lightning, and shattered the fortress in the sky."

"The Pokémon that brought the seven-colored rainbow light was none other than Ho-Oh, the chief deity of Raikou, Entei, and Suicune."

"After the fierce battle, the glittering gem disappeared without a trace."

"The betrayed creator god also unleashed his wrath and punishment upon the King of Gold."

The crowd listened as if to a myth, but the story of the King of Almia proved one thing.

No, it proves it once again.

The stories in the legends are all true!

In other words, the story of Oblibiya is also true!

Chuangyi looked at the card that had been entrusted to him earlier:

"So, this is the origin of the [Path of Light]! Connecting with Pokémon and using the path is a more advanced way of summoning. Before that, people needed to use giant pictographic tablets to control Pokémon in battle!"

Hitomi began to ponder: "A duel?! It sounds so mysterious. If I were to imagine it, it would be hard to imagine how it would actually be fought. But it would seem so cool?"

Panima asked with great interest, "Captain, what about the second part of history?"

"This is the first piece of history, right?"

"Why is there two periods of history? Does it mean the first period is false, and the second is true? But what do you mean by the timeline you mentioned earlier?"

Lightmoy: "Outside Coconut Grove Village, in front of the ruins of the plaza leading to the forest, there used to be a place called the [Forest Temple]. To this day, two stone buildings still remain. The building on the right is an ancient stone slab with engraved traces, and the building on the left is the [Time Travel Stele]."

"Only the hero of light can trigger that stone tablet, and be taken to the distant past by a Pokémon from the past world called Celebi, who is revered as the god of the forest."

"In the second part of history—no, let's treat the second part of history as a beautiful expectation, and try to travel through time and space, and do our best to complete it!"

"With the help of the Warrior of Light, the Golden King freed the God of Creation. The elders of the Temple of Darkness stole the Gem of Light and disappeared without a trace. The enlightened monarch lowered the Sky Fortress and sank it into the lake, sealing it away forever."

"The creator god separated the golden armor into four parts and sealed them on the four islands of Oblibia. Its wrath was appeased, and after 3000 years, it will take the armor to the distant universe, causing it to disappear from this world completely."

"The King of Gold spoke thus to the Hero of Light:"

"The person who needs to thank me the most, the Guardian from the future, thank you so much. It was all my negligence that allowed the Elder of Darkness to take advantage of me."

"Leave the rest to me, for this era's Oblibia is the homeland of those of us who live here."

"Please don't tell me what the future holds. Knowing the future will only make us lose our motivation. Therefore, I hereby make a promise with you!"

"I and the people here will continue peace in Oblibia into the distant future. Our world will be protected by ourselves."

"Therefore, the seven great temples no longer exist."

"The armor and control gloves were also lost in the distant past, and Oblibia became the 'Lost Paradise' where humans and Pokémon coexisted."

"Therefore, after the second chapter of history begins, Eriol, the son of the Golden King, will come from the distant past in the form of a spirit to guide you."

“I think he will probably appear at Panima’s house.”

It was clearly an epic and legendary ancient story, but the last sentence almost made the blue-haired girl drop her glasses!
"What?! What?!"

"The soul of the Golden King's child, the second-generation king, has appeared in my house?! Why, why?"

She had no doubt about the truth of the matter, and with her intelligence, she immediately figured out why this was the case.

"Difficult? Could it be..."

"You want to change history?"

"But why is it my home that's in trouble? Is this the curse of Almia?!"

Armia means spirit.

So, even Oblibia has been tainted by the ghost?!

Guangtai: "You're overthinking it. That's because your father, Targa, lives at the patrol base in Oblibia. All of you gather there. If someone is looking for someone, it's perfectly normal for them to show up at your house, isn't it?"

"However, this doesn't count as a ghost story, so don't worry."

"Two historical periods symbolize two different outcomes."

"If you are afraid of ghosts, call out near the Time Travel Stone. Among you, there will surely be the [Hero of Light] that Time Traveler is waiting for!"

"Mission objectives regarding the Oblibya region!"

"Find the Tea Party, stop them from activating the Sky Fortress, and recover the Manipulation Gloves, the Golden Armor, and the Glittering Jewel!"

"Destroy the Pokémon Kidnapping Team!"

"Then, retrieve the ruins of the Rainbow Altar from the seabed, and confirm the identity of the Hero of Light before the Time Travel Stele!"

The investigation task has many sub-sections.

And that is precisely why so many powerful individuals are being sent there!
"After the mission in the Hoenn region is completed, I will immediately send Fuyuki and Hinata to provide support."

Professor Xin Yuan began with a cheerful smile:
"Furthermore, their patrol rank will be upgraded to [Chief]!"

"Oh dear, so this mission will consist of five chiefs, two flying patrolmen, one mechanic, and a captain from another land—an oversized suppression team combining intelligence, combat power, level, and logistics!"

--------

Professor Lera received an interpretation and response from afar.

"Important items from the ruins and legends of Oblibia: armor, gloves, and precious stones."

It wasn't just these important contents that broadened her horizons as a historian and archaeologist; the contents of this part of the legend, as well as the description report of the ruins, were as if she had seen them with her own eyes. Even the location of the legendary "mural" was clearly marked!
"If I had known, I would have gone to that meeting too!"

Lera said with such frustration, because due to the poor local signal and her obsession with local research, she hadn't paid any attention to the academic conference. Who would have thought that what was originally a not-so-large conference would suddenly become a world-class university conference that was rare in the world.

"Oblibia is a lost paradise composed of ruins and islands."

"There are so many unsolved secrets here! Ah, right now, I want to unravel them!"

Of course, this is just wishful thinking.

Professor Shinhara explicitly warned her that a joint investigation could only begin once all the top rangers were in place, as this was a necessary measure to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

We absolutely cannot cause any more trouble at this time. Sending seven patrolmen to provide support was already a very difficult task!
"However, I've been concerned about this for a while now."

"Raiko, Entei, and Suicune, Pokémon that were born and only became legendary 150 years ago in the distant Johto region, why do they appear in murals and ruins from 3000 years ago in the Oblibia region?"

"If someone took them with them through time, then that would make sense, wouldn't it?"

"Furthermore, the origin of the Rainbow Festival, which no one knew before, actually originated from Ho-Oh!"

"The information about the golden armor is recorded in the mansion of Shugmar. Shugmar was a person from 150 years ago, right? His mansion is an old mansion on a certain island. A revelation from 150 years ago."

"He was from the same era as the doctor named [Laben]."

Professor Lera became engrossed in examining and analyzing these materials, especially when she came across content about Oblibia.

"Mysterious emblems and heroes, forbidden nursery rhymes, 4000 years of Oblibia, the Thunder God and the villagers, the ruins of the rising sun and the Flame Emperor, the phantom ruins somewhere, the islands of ruins and legends."

"The Ancient Kingdom of Oblibia, Transcending Time and Space"

"These are the books that exist in Shugmar's mansion. I really want to see them right now!"

Professor Lera muttered to herself, her mind racing with excitement, when she suddenly heard her husband calling her.

"Lera."

"what happened?"

"rainbow."

As a ranger guarding the local area, Targa hadn't experienced a major event in many years, but now...
He looked up at the sky, and Lera came out of the house and also looked up at the distant sky.

A bright rainbow streaked across the sky, taking off from an island in Oblibia and passing over the sky above their houses!
Targa: "That's a rainbow-colored Pokémon, a rainbow in the distance?"

Lera suddenly became excited:
"Wait! Could it be..."

"Ho-Oh?!"

"What's going on? I just learned about the legend of Ho-Oh from Ranger Headquarters, and now I've seen it! Where is it going? Which direction is it heading towards? Is it towards Almia?"

"No, it should be farther, much farther."

"The Johto region!"

----------

"Hi!"

On the returning ship, Guangtai saw a familiar face!
Jack Wooka!

No, it should be said that I am familiar with him, but he is not familiar with me. Of course, even though that's what I thought, Jack had already very naturally stepped forward and started to introduce himself!
"Of course I know you! You are the twelfth Grandmaster! The Champion Trainer, the foreign swordsman who saved Almia!"

“I am Jack Walker. A lowly Level 9 Ranger.”

"The reason Professor Shinhara invited you to ride on my ship."

Guangtai chuckled: "You found it, didn't you?"

"The second [Prince's Egg]!"

Jack was also very happy: "That's right! Based on your clue, I infiltrated the pirate crew of the great pirate for several months and finally found a clue. When he sent people to attack the Patrol Headquarters, he also received news from Angel Company."

"Following that message, it's also possible that the riot of Pokémon in the ocean led them to find the [Blue Gem] that was swept up by the ocean currents."

"The prince of the sea has been found. The second prince, you said there are three princes of the sea, just like the three princes of Almia."

"However, that great pirate probably won't let this go so easily."

As the moss raised its head, the silhouette of a Scorpion King appeared on the horizon as the distant sea breeze blew. It rose with the wind, ready to embark on its dream journey.

Riding the sea breeze, breaking through the waves, flying freely in the distant sky, circling the world once, and then returning to the hometown of my birth.

"As a ranger, I can't just capture Almia's Pokémon. However, for Gliscor, the time has come to realize its dream."

"Then what's next"

A greatsword appeared in Lightmoy's hand. He and Jack were on a small two-person boat, watching the huge submarine rising in the distance.

The great pirate, enraged, gave chase. Even with heavy losses, he still wanted the prince's egg!
“Pirates come chasing after treasure.” Jack shrugged. “Well then, we still have one last task for you, Chief. Could you lend me a hand?”

Lightmoy: "Of course, after I've given others an important mission, I'll also help my companions in need on my way back home."

"In the name of the protectors, we rectify all things here."

"Moreover, since it's about treasure—"

On Lightmoss's backpack, a deluxe sphere opened. The money-grubbing spirit, grinning, approached Lightmoss with its treasure chest.

"The three princes gifted us many things: crystals, sealed gates, candles, ancient books, and treasure!"

"The treasures of the royal city are not what I need, but for you, they should be just enough to be of use, right?"

How many gold coins are we still short?

The money-seeking spirit raised its palm.

Quantity: 999!

I originally planned to collect all the coins after arriving in Alola, but I've finished ahead of schedule. Isn't that great?
Lightmoss swung his greatsword!
"Then, I'll rob the pirate crew of their treasure. And help you complete your final evolution!"

"If they want treasure, let them come and take it themselves. Then, use [Gold Rush] to give them a real taste of it!"

In a corner of the ship, the green core observes in the shadows.

Head up.

A rainbow-colored light streaked across the distant blue sky!
