Chapter 122: The Labyrinth World

The "Labyrinth" refers to the "Mystery Dungeon" world within the Pokémon world. In that world, humans have already vanished, and it is a world that belongs entirely to the activities of Pokémon. Distributed across that world are many "dungeons" with different terrains, the nature of which is very similar to the "dungeons" commonly seen in many games.

Xiang Guangtai had once thought that due to the existence of parallel worlds, the Labyrinth world should also be one of them, and among the crafts he had recently acquired, items related to the Labyrinth world had also appeared frequently.

The "Orb of the Great House" mentioned in the description of the Ruin Craft belongs to the Labyrinth world; it is a mysterious orb that can destroy the walls of a dungeon, turning it into a special, independent room. Besides this, there are many more Mystery Orbs, and if some items from the Labyrinth world were brought into the Pokémon world, they would have a very significant impact on normal battles and breeding.

"Having mastered the method of creating dungeons, doesn't this mean I've become a character like a dungeon boss?" Xiang Guangtai felt quite strange; this craft of artificially creating dungeon blocks had already exceeded the conceptual scope of a normal craftsman.

But thinking that he already possessed special powers like spiritual energy and mysterious inscriptions, he had long since ceased to be a conventional craftsman, so he immediately felt relieved, and subsequently, Xiang Guangtai even began to feel eager to try it out.

【You seem somewhat excited?】

The excitement of his soul also affected Giratina, who did not understand why Xiang Guangtai was happy.

"I just thought of some interesting things after obtaining the Platinum Orb. By the way, perhaps this power can also help you. Let's try it out now."

Xiang Guangtai looked around, chose a three-layered floating island with a better shape, and said to Giratina, "Can you take me around that floating island to take a look?"

This request was a bit strange, but Giratina never refused Xiang Guangtai's requests. Xiang Guangtai rode on Giratina's head, circled the floating island to look around, noted the island's appearance and shape, brought back some of the soil from it, and then returned to the Abandoned Workshop.

【What are you going to do?】

Giratina was very curious about Xiang Guangtai's behavior. While taking the soil to make a model, Xiang Guangtai responded, "Perhaps I can make that floating island a bit more interesting; this is just an experiment."

The Ruin Craft also gave Xiang Guangtai superb soil sculpting abilities, and coupled with the premium-level carving techniques he already possessed, an exquisite and small model of the floating island was soon completed, and even the twisted buildings distributed on it were completely restored.

In the craft knowledge, if one were to create ruin blocks in the real world, a large amount of corresponding environmental materials would be needed; those are necessary materials for changing the block environment. Xiang Guangtai even thought that through this craft, combined with a series of craft techniques such as environmental carving, he could even customize unique habitats for different Pokémon in the forest.

And in the Inverted World, "materials" are everywhere, especially Ghost-type materials, which are all over the ground, so there is no need to specifically collect them.

Xiang Guangtai set the floating island model aside, used soil to mold a new piece of terrain, and then placed the two models together.

"Dou Jianqiao, use 'Secret Power' on the soil model."

"You wu?" Although Dou Jianqiao did not understand the meaning, Xiang Guangtai had done too many strange things, and each time there would be astonishing results, so Dou Jianqiao immediately drew its swords, crossed them, and began to spin like a big windmill!

Secret Power!

Normally, Secret Power could not possibly have an effect on such a small soil model, but under Xiang Guangtai's craft production, these soil models had already developed a close connection with that floating island; Secret Power appeared to be used on the model, but in reality, it was being used on the floating island!

Rumble!

At this moment, a mysterious thing happened!

The model was glowing, and the surface of the floating island not far away, which had originally been somewhat gloomy, also immediately underwent a change; a strange hill rose on the dark green grass, and the hill had a cave entrance from which a fantastic light emanated. Giratina was attracted and floated to the edge of the floating island, peering into the cave with its huge head!

And at this look, Giratina's eyes widened!

The space inside the newly appeared cave was very vast, and it had an unusual light source, just like a unique indoor valley. However, because the Broken World was relatively barren, although some places were covered by inverted vegetation, there were not many types of plants, so even though a valley had formed inside the floating island, it still appeared somewhat desolate.

However, the internal space was much larger than the outside!

【How did you do it?】

"Through models made of special materials, these models have a connection with the target block that serves as the main material for the model. Using Secret Power to reshape its internal space and destroy the original internal space allows for the creation of a new space. Well, anyway, this is a special craft that can only be used after obtaining your Platinum Orb."

Giratina felt somewhat happy upon hearing this.

So that was it! A unique craft that could only be used after obtaining its power?

The technology left behind by the Sinnoh people is truly reliable!

【It looks somewhat like Palkia's power.】

Being able to compress and reshape space, the first source of power that came to mind was undoubtedly the Space Deity Palkia. However, Xiang Guangtai thought that the formation of dungeons in the Labyrinth world seemed natural; Palkia also appeared in the plot, but the formation of the dungeons seemed unrelated to it and was a characteristic of that world.

"The internal spaces created are called dungeons. According to different materials, different dungeon blocks can be created: soil, magma, cracks, walls, cliffs, grass, water surfaces, mountain paths, deserts... This time, I only created a normal soil ground."

"Traps occasionally generate in the dungeons, and they can also be created through my craft. Through special items, dungeon areas can also be turned into various special rooms, or transformed into habitats for corresponding-type Pokémon."

In the Broken World, transforming rooms might not have much effect, after all, there is only one Pokémon here, Giratina, but at this moment, Giratina was pondering.

If it managed this world in an orderly manner and made it beautiful, then perhaps it could also allow other Pokémon to come here to inhabit it, just as Arceus manages the entire world.

【So that's it... I have thought of a new direction for transforming the Broken World. Perhaps there will be more Pokémon here in the future. Before that, I must make this world suitable for living.】

【In the future, the transformation of this world will also have to be entrusted to you.】

"Oh, no problem, I will also come here often."

Xiang Guangtai was also very interested in transforming the Broken World, and the world here had an inexhaustible supply of materials.

"As for sculptures, should we put one on every floating island in the future?"

【If it can be done, of course that would be best! However, there is no need to rush; the transformation of the world will still take a long time.】

Thus, in the following time, because the Abandoned Workshop in this world had rich Ghost power, there were also many Ghost materials here, so Xiang Guangtai decided to make some products related to Ghost-type Pokémon here, as well as...

"Are you going to evolve here?"

Xiang Guangtai looked at Dou Jianqiao.

"You wu~"

Dou Jianqiao had originally intended to learn "Sacred Sword" through practice of "Brick Break," but there was no effect after practicing for a period of time, and coupled with being busy with other things these past two days, it still had no clue about mastering Sacred Sword now.

"Then let's continue practicing Sacred Sword. Evolve after you've mastered it. By the way!" Xiang Guangtai clapped his hands, and a light bulb seemed to appear over his head.

His own craft could create special habitats, and in corresponding environments, Pokémon could naturally grow and train better. Since that was the case, why didn't he create a "Fighting Dungeon"?

In the Pokémon world, such a place should be called a "Dojo"? And Fighting-type is super-effective against Rock, Ice, Steel, Normal, and Dark. Putting aside the two more abstract concepts of Normal and Dark, the remaining Ice and Steel are not easy to obtain, so creating a dojo full of large rocks could help Dou Jianqiao better learn Sacred Sword. Large rocks are very easy to obtain, after all, there is Lei Ji Luo Ke to help.

And Miss Qun Er could also get sufficient training in the Fighting Dojo!

【If you want to practice Ghost-type moves, this world is the best. However, regarding Fighting-type moves, I also have a move here.】

Giratina suddenly spoke. It looked at Dou Jianqiao, and then a trace of strange blue fluctuations condensed in its red dragon pupils.

The fluctuations permeated, and Dou Jianqiao suddenly felt something and looked at Giratina with some confusion.

【Do you feel it? This is 'Aura', Fighting-type energy. Besides being triggered by conventional punches, kicks, and slashes, it can also grow through the practice of Aura and internal energy. Condensing Aura and finally releasing it is the move 'Aura Sphere'.】

【However, although all Pokémon and humans possess Aura, not many Pokémon can fully master its power, so very few Pokémon can learn 'Aura Sphere'. But even so, one can learn other Fighting-type moves through the sensing of Aura. This is a type of spiritual energy that represents the spirit of every living being.】
