Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 160 The Birth of the Clay Figurine, Using an Electric Dragon's Tail as a Light Bulb?

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

With the combined efforts of John and the Shadow Doll, enough ghostly power finally gathered on the clay figure carved with runes.

"rumble!"

The runes shone brightly, and amidst a rumbling sound, the clay figurine began to undergo continuous changes.

The clay doll opened its eyes, which looked irregularly shaped, like graphics in Minecraft.

The rune on its chest was affected by the power of the ghost, and the rune's position transformed into a stone slab with spiral patterns.

A moment later, the clay figure slowly stood up, but its movements were as uncoordinated as a robot adapting to its body.

After a long while, it finally got used to it a little, and then raised its head and looked at Raven with its irregular eyes.

The clay figurine was born!

"..."

However, the clay figure didn't seem to have learned to speak yet. It just stared blankly at Raven, as if trying to remember him.

"A clay doll?" Raven tried calling out.

The clay figure didn't respond; it just stared at him blankly.

"Huh? Is something wrong?" Raven wondered, then opened the panel and started looking up the detailed information about the clay figurine.

Pokémon: Claydot

[Attributes: Ground, Ghost]

[Gender: no gender]

【Characteristic: Clumsy】

[Moves: Throwing mud, startling]

[Friendship Level: 100 (Maximum 100, may exceed the maximum in special circumstances.)]

[Hosho's resume: In the 149th year of the Kingdom Calendar, the clay figurines were created.]

"It doesn't seem to have any problems?" Raven muttered to himself.

Throwing mud and startling people... these are two moves that clay figurines are born with.

It seems that this clay figurine is around level 1.

Its defining characteristic is clumsiness; well, it does look rather clumsy.

To Raven's surprise, the clay figure's friendliness level was a perfect 100!

Does she consider him her master?
"Clay doll, I am Raven." Raven tried to introduce himself to the clay doll.

The clay figure didn't react at all, remaining somewhat dazed, its eyes reflecting Raven's image.

"Ugh..." Upon seeing this, Dragonite couldn't help but scratch its head in confusion.

Why does this Pokémon look so silly?

"It must have just been born and hasn't adapted to this world yet," Raven said to the few curious Pokémon that had gathered around.

In fact, this is not the first clay figurine in the world.

Because the technology used to make them has existed for a very long time.

Those ancient civilizations probably created many clay figurines and clay giants long ago.

They were created to protect Pokémon and humans.

This is why Claydot and Clay Giant are absolutely loyal to their masters. They are very obedient to their masters' commands, and the disobedient behavior of Ash's Charizard is simply impossible to occur in Claydot.

The clay doll stared blankly at Raven, who was talking to several Pokémon, as if trying to remember this scene forever.

"Clay doll, turn to the right?" Raven tentatively gave the order.

Upon receiving the command, the clay figure in front of me turned its body as if it were a robot.

"...That's the left side."

Upon hearing this, the clay figure quickly turned around again. "...That's the back." Raven was momentarily at a loss for words.

The clay figure turned around again, and this time, it finally found its way.

Raven: "..."

They're kind of silly, but actually quite cute.

"Fine." Raven sighed helplessly. "Now that you have a life, from now on, stay here and live with us!"

Upon hearing this, the clay figure opened its mouth as if to say something, but since it had not yet learned to speak, it made no sound.

Claydots could be considered his Pokémon, right?
With the addition of temporary member Victini, Raven found himself with a full squad without even realizing it!

Dragonite, Serperior, Flamebug, Victini, Kyurem, Claydol.

There are exactly six.

Looking at the clay figure in front of him, although it looked a bit clumsy, Raven had no intention of giving it up now that he had created it.

After all, from a certain perspective, these human-made Pokémon are extremely versatile.

Right now, its body only contains ordinary ghost energy. If it were to inject Giratina's ghost power into it in the future, would the Claydot's power undergo a qualitative leap?

Raven couldn't help but speculate.

However, it's too early to think about these things now.

Giratina is in the Sinnoh region, which is too far from Unova, and since the Unova region is not yet unified, it is impossible for him to leave.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Raven paused slightly, but still said, "Come in!"

The next second, the door was pushed open, and Eriff walked in from outside with Megan.

“Your Highness, Megan wishes to see you,” Elif said.

"Megan?" Raven asked in surprise. "What happened? What's wrong at the Gyarados Ranch?"

Megan explained, "Your Highness... it's Flying Sheep. Flying Sheep, like Magikarp and the others, has evolved!"

evolution?

Raven clearly remembered that among the Mare sheep that joined Megan's Ranch, there were one or two Mare sheep that were evolved into the Sponge Sheep.

Now that the sheep has evolved, doesn't that mean that the electric dragon has been born?

Electric Dragons... After evolving, all the wool on their bodies will fall off, and they will no longer be able to produce wool.

While it may not seem like a good thing for a ranch at first glance, this Pokémon is actually very useful for a territory!

Because of the bulb-like structure at the front of their tails that emits a strong light, they can be spotted even from the distant seas, serving as navigational beacons.

For this reason, in some coastal areas, the Pokémon Ampharos is highly valued by sailors as a landmark, and its light serves as a guide and beacon for those who are lost.

If there are enough electric dragons in the territory, they can be hired to help with lighting at night, so that some workers can still work normally even at night.

Since arriving in this world, Raven had never seen an Ampharos before, and he was immediately filled with curiosity about this Pokémon.

After all, the bright light on its tail is only described in the encyclopedia.

“Take me to see!” Raven said.

He wanted to see just how bright the light bulb on the electric dragon's tail could be.

“Yes, Your Highness!” Megan dared not delay and immediately led the way.

The group left the town and soon arrived at Megan's Gyarados Ranch.

As soon as he entered the gate, Raven spotted a Pokémon that stood out from the crowd of Mareep sheep.

Its yellow skin, devoid of any hair, its soft white belly, and the tiny red bulb at the tip of its tail…

This Pokémon is Ampharos!
