Chapter 124: The Dark Stone and the Light Stone

Zekrom, the legendary Pokémon of the Unova region, one of the Tao trio, is a legendary Pokémon that is said in myths to have burned the world to ashes with lightning, and will assist those who create an ideal world. In the description of the myth, if humans lose their sense of justice, it will destroy their kingdom with violent lightning.

Xiang Guangtai pushed open the door and looked at the surrounding environment.

The Pecha Berry field was growing very well, and theoretically speaking, the growth rate of fruits in the Berry field in the Dream World is 50% slower than in reality, but now many fruit trees in the Berry field had already borne Pecha Berries!

【The power of the Light Stone makes this place full of vitality, and the production speed of crops in the Dream World is +100%.】

"So that's how it is."

After Xiang Guangtai touched a Pecha Berry tree, he understood why the berries here accelerated their growth; it turned out that the Light Stone brought back earlier had played a role!

Besides this, there were no traces of being destroyed.

The information about the Dark Stone said that it was also having nightmares of the past. According to the situation of the Light Stone at that time, it should trigger a large-scale disaster in the Dream World. Looking at it this way, this Dark Stone had just been picked back not long ago.

It must not be allowed to destroy the production of the farmland.

Xiang Guangtai immediately found tools and began to polish the Dark Stone; the craft process was the same as the initial Light Stone.

【Crafting Buff: After being polished through your exquisite skills, the Dark Stone underwent some changes; all the scars on the surface of the stone disappeared, and this stone seemed to have calmed down, no longer releasing anger, and the attribute energy it contained increased.】

【The power of the Dark Stone will increase the surrounding energy.】

【New Buff: Due to obtaining advanced petrology knowledge, all your crafts related to rocks have been enhanced—the effect and exquisiteness of the stones are increased by 30%.】

【Possessing "Platinum Breeding", you can inject power into the Dark Stone to promote its changes.】

"Eh?" Xiang Guangtai held the Dark Stone and carefully observed his "masterpiece". The power radiated by the Dark Stone had indeed increased, which he could feel through his spiritual power, and its appearance had become more beautiful and mysterious, faintly radiating a mysterious attraction, making it difficult for people to look away. Just staring at it felt like observing a solidified history, and this strange feeling made Xiang Guangtai feel incredible.

Ancient and modern coexist, history and future are together. If he could carve some reliefs and patterns on the surface of the Dark Stone as decoration, perhaps this strange feeling could be enhanced again. However, even in its current simple appearance, it was actually already quite good.

【Obtained Knowledge: Stone Art—The artistic understanding of rocks has been improved, Artistry +25%.】

Can he also obtain buffs from the crafts he makes after polishing them and observing them at the same time?

Xiang Guangtai put down the Dark Stone and secretly thought that the role of advanced petrology knowledge was truly not to be underestimated. Although buffs like artistry could not be used in battles, the Pokémon world was not just about battles.

In daily life and product sales, artistry is a very important selling point. After all, people are chasing beautiful things; no one will specifically buy ugly products to put at home, unless the utility of this product is really strong.

Xiang Guangtai also tried to inject his own power into the Dark Stone.

Is spiritual power okay?

Spiritual power entered the Dark Stone, and the knowledge of the Dragon Tamer played a role at the same time, and caused the dragon power hidden in the Dark Stone to grow!

Click—

The Light Stone made some sounds, attracting Xiang Guangtai's attention.

Faint firelight phantoms appeared around this white stone, and at the same time, after Xiang Guangtai touched the Light Stone, he saw its status:

【The Light Stone's mood seems not very good.】

"Stones even have moods... Reshiram is about to wake up? But this is a dream."

Xiang Guangtai could not figure out what the situation was, so he tried to inject some of his own power.

【The Light Stone's mood has improved slightly.】

Xiang Guangtai: "?"

Unable to figure out what this stone was thinking now, Xiang Guangtai put down the Light Stone, and after fantasizing about a backpack, he took out some electrical devices and connected them to the Dark Stone. Immediately, streams of electricity poured into the fantasized electrical devices, causing the light bulbs installed on the devices to light up rapidly!

The Dream Workshop was lit up, and Xiang Guangtai tested it with an electrical meter and found that the electricity provided by the Dark Stone was quite stable!

"If it's used as a power source, it's really convenient. In comparison, the fire source of the Light Stone seems to be of little use, after all, it can only be used in the forging room, and I don't seem to have anything that needs to be forged in the dream."

Xiang Guangtai muttered.

The Light Stone trembled again.

【The Light Stone's mood has worsened.】

Are you kidding me, actually saying that I am not as useful as that black dragon? Fire is the primary driving force representing civilization!

Even if there is no forging work, isn't it okay to use me for heating!

The will of the Light Stone is quite unhappy!

As its observation object, the candidate for hero, actually went to praise the Dark Stone; this is simply a betrayal of itself!

However, Xiang Guangtai did not see this information. On the contrary, because he touched the Dark Stone, he discovered the information about the Dark Stone:

【The Dark Stone's mood is very joyful.】

"Collected the powder of the Dark Stone..." Xiang Guangtai collected the powder that fell on the ground, obtained by polishing the Dark Stone, and at the same time remembered that when he polished the Light Stone last time, he should have also collected the powder of the Light Stone.

But because the dream was about to end at that time, he actually forgot about this matter.

【Rare Material: Dark Stone Powder.】

【Description: Some powder obtained by polishing the Dark Stone, which can be regarded as the residue of Zekrom's power.】

【Effect: Giving it to Dragon or Electric-type Pokémon can make them grow better and increase the power of Dragon and Electric-type moves.】

【Obtained Craft: Powder Processing Craft (B+)—Can process any special material into powder with unique effects. Powder can also be added to the production of various items, making the effects of the items improved or changed.】

This kind of powder is indeed a good thing.

"Then should I polish the Light Stone now?" Xiang Guangtai muttered to himself. At this time, the Light Stone made a clicking sound again!

It seemed to be saying "Come quickly"!

But accidents always happen in advance. Xiang Guangtai heard the sound of a Pokémon coming from outside the house; it was the sound of Cao Miao Gui, so he hurriedly pushed open the house to go out and look for it.

Light Stone: "..."

Just, just left like this! Could it be that I really have no attraction?

Fire lost to electricity, how could I have such a dream... No, this is in a dream!

————

In the Dark Stone, Zekrom's consciousness fully awakened.

It was somewhat confused.

Because it should have waited until the hero representing the ideal appeared before waking up. Before that, its true body existed in the Dragonspiral Tower in the real world, while the "body" in the Dream World slept in the Ancient City, and repeated the nightmare of destroying the Ancient City, and was in eternal confrontation with the fantasized Reshiram.

Reality and dreams are opposites.

In the ancient struggle, it was slightly better, and Reshiram's true body in reality was in the Ancient City...

However, not long ago, its consciousness slightly awakened. A huge dragon that had never been seen before broke into the Ancient City, and ignored its power barrier, dug it out of the dream of the Ancient City, and brought it to this strange wooden workshop.

After that, that guy left, and the human just now entered this dream.

Is that the hero of the ideal?

Who? Is it that water dragon that picks up things randomly, or this human in front of me?

That human's technology is very powerful. Its consciousness was originally just in a vague state, but it fully awakened under its craft polishing! Not only that, its power and attribute energy had also grown, which is simply incredible!

It is a legendary Pokémon! Even in the distant ancient kingdom era, its former master, one of the original twin princes, could not make its power grow so rapidly!

It is one of the most powerful Pokémon in this world! To make a legendary Pokémon standing at the peak grow is almost impossible for ordinary humans! Precisely because they do not have such power and cannot make ordinary Pokémon grow to be as strong as legendary Pokémon, they pursue the great power of legendary Pokémon like itself, in order to realize their ideals!

But this human is different! His ability is very wrong, and not only did he improve its ability, but even the output power of its power became stronger!

Zekrom clearly felt that if it returned to its original form now, the power of the Dragon and Electric-type moves it used would inevitably be completely different from the past, because the output power had changed!

Oh oh oh! Never had such a wonderful start!

Anger dissipated, nightmares subsided, power grew, energy increased!

And! The will of the Dark Stone swept around, and Zekrom had long noticed the Light Stone that Reshiram had turned into!

The Light Stone seemed to have arrived here earlier than itself. Although it didn't know what happened, but...

The polishing effect on this guy is obviously not as good as its own!

The will of the Dark Stone was transmitted into the Light Stone!

Long time no see, Reshiram!

The Light Stone transmitted a sense of disgust. The relationship between the black and white dragons is very complex, sometimes friends and sometimes enemies, sometimes helping each other and sometimes confronting each other, but at least now, an emotion called jealousy surged in the heart of Reshiram in the Light Stone.

It was clearly the first to be polished, but the polishing effect obtained by the Dark Stone was better than its own. It had paid a lot of power for the growth of the crops in this workshop!

Sure enough, are new things always more popular than old things?

【Who is that human with powerful technology?】

The Dark Stone asked, wanting to figure out Xiang Guangtai's identity, and Reshiram, in order not to let the Dark Stone snatch its "observation object", chose to lie at this time, and with anger and warning:

【He is the hero of 'Truth'!】

【Accepting his polishing can get rid of mental shackles faster and accelerate the recovery speed of the body, but you have already obtained benefits, do not have other thoughts!】

The will of the Dark Stone was startled.

So that's it, the hero of truth has already appeared, but in a dream... Well! Very reasonable!

Dreams are false, and what corresponds to them is the truth of reality, so it is no problem for the hero of truth to appear in a dream, relative and opposite, after all, this is the characteristic of our Unova!

【I didn't expect to be gifted such great power by the hero of truth, which makes me somewhat ashamed.】

Thinking of the ability obtained after being polished just now, perhaps that hero of truth did not know its true body, and it is the dragon of the ideal. After accepting the power of the hero of truth, it actually lost some confidence!

After all, truth and ideal are destined to confront each other. After obtaining the power of truth, how can it confront the other party? And since the other party has already been chosen by Reshiram...

Dark Stone: 【But, perhaps are you sure he doesn't have any grand ideals...?】

Zekrom still wanted to make a final struggle!

The Light Stone was silent for a while, and Reshiram's will suddenly thought of a good plan:

【If you admit that truth is more important than ideal, then perhaps he will also have ideals. Are you willing to admit it?】

【This...】 This time, it was Zekrom's turn to fall into silence!
