Leafeon’s frail frame was in grave danger after one hit; Guang Tai noticed the First Move Voucher’s power was fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voucher usable only once in battle, existing between science and mysticism—was its essence a product of Mystical Science?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle continued!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Leafeon’s body suddenly surged with immense power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of Fighting-type moves increased by 1.5x!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So any Pokémon, regardless of type, carrying the Encouragement Letter can now activate its own near-death burst mode, like Flash Fire, Torrent, or Overgrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leafeon unleashed a Psychic Strike; under the massive boost of Star Psychic, it pushed back Poliwhirl’s attack—leaving Poliwhirl stunned. This blue-furred pup was one of the strongest Pokémon Poliwhirl had ever faced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far stronger than that Zoroark! But its body was too fragile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, test battle over. How do you feel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woo! (Feels amazing!)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh~ (Truly excellent!)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Pokémon ceased battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond this battle, Deoxys, guided by Regigigas, had entered the Meditation Labyrinth—a place originally designed for Mewtwo to train its psychic abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the battle test ended, Leafeon’s body began to grow translucent—signaling the time to enter dreams had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, hasn’t Mewtwo come in lately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regigigas, returning from the Meditation Labyrinth, answered Guang Tai’s question: Mewtwo had not entered the Dream World since leaving Alabaster, likely still searching for eternal life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now came the time to say goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like we’re leaving again, but with Dream Mist, I can come here freely until it’s fully consumed—no longer bound by constraints.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, the floating islands were multiplying, and the main island had grown larger with Regigigas’s constant invitations, now resembling a continent drifting in the Dream World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pokémon here were all occupied with their own tasks—not aimlessly wandering. Some watched battles or trained in labyrinths, but most focused on their own work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grass-type Pokémon tended to vegetable fields; Rock- and Fighting-type Pokémon built small huts; many stone huts had sprung up on a vacant plot near the workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steel- and Electric-type Pokémon transported items from other islands; Guang Tai even saw sparking Electivire, indicating some Pokémon had come from Electivire Caves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying- and Normal-type Pokémon planted trees; Ice-, Water-, and Ground-type Pokémon dug pits, creating lakes, fountains, and cold caves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai warned Regigigas: Plasma Team was searching for the Dream World—they’d encountered it before, through Professor N’s Zoroark. He feared Plasma Team might use that Zoroark to enter this world through its dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Professor N himself sees the Dream World as Pokémon’s paradise, his followers certainly don’t!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm! I shall pay attention. Though the island’s strongest fighters have vanished, I am Regigigas, the Bountiful King who rules Galar—I will not allow a mysterious organization to run rampant here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regigigas had regained some strength, sustained by the faith of countless Pokémon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, take this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai handed the GB Player to Regigigas: “This plays beautiful music—it contains, well, a lot of tunes. Listening grants positive buffs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The method is—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dream faded, that beautiful world vanishing like a mirage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai awoke at dawn, stretched, and saw Leafeon beside him slowly stirring awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he still had to help Professor Juniper build the C Device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the dream, Regigigas puzzled over the music player, pressing the button as Guang Tai had instructed—when suddenly, an utterly strange melody blared out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ummmm! What is this sound? What is this feeling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mission? My future?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tragic, epic music—like marching toward a final battle—is what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arceus, I come to slay you now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The music playing now is Route 10 from Unova!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Music Playing: Route 10, Unova.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: All stats +1 level, all stats +25%, Belief +50%, Action +100%!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Bond with Professor Juniper and Professor Rowan greatly increased!』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days passed swiftly; the C Device’s development accelerated dramatically!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Juniper said that, at this pace, a prototype C Device could indeed be built within ten days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining part was Professor Juniper’s domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to synchronize with Psychic Waves, how to link dream and reality, how to harness Dream Mist as energy—these required days of precise calculations; during this, Juniper’s sister, Truffle, would assist her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As is well known, the prototype’s performance always surpasses mass-produced models; Professor Juniper had countless ideas to implement on the C Device, passionately sketching its grand blueprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wi-Fi, wireless, infrared connectivity, real-time communication, world synchronization, emotion detection, radar scanning—even integration with the Miracle Emitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So many features—testing them all would take far more than ten days, and I don’t understand any of this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai rubbed his temples and suggested to Professor Juniper that they temporarily “trim” the unnecessary features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, during his collaboration with Professor Juniper, Guang Tai gained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Acquired: World Communication Knowledge.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Description: Knowledge enabling better human communication; you may act as a “Communicator,” allowing certain Pokémon requiring exchange evolution to evolve through your power; you may also communicate across worlds. This knowledge applies to C Device development.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Craftable Item: Link Rope.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Note: Complete C Device development knowledge cannot be obtained from Professor Juniper—restricted by some strange temporal force. If the C Device is completed, additional information may be granted.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additional information, restricted by strange temporal forces—Guang Tai thought. Unova held many wonders, and the C Device clearly related to space-time; its functions allowed free travel across multiple worlds, theoretically touching the authority of Dialga and Palkia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Guang Tai had seen knowledge protected by space-time—this intellectual property… was truly unattainable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if the C Device’s connection function uses artificial Psychic Waves, does that mean switching between different waves could allow travel to even more worlds—or even through time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, to preserve timeline integrity, must this device be developed solely by Professor Juniper?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how the process changes, the outcome must remain so. If so, perhaps the Dream Tree itself protects Juniper’s intellectual property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the C Device become a precursor to Arceus’s smartphone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Juniper looked disappointed: “Oh, really? I thought the first prototype had to be outstanding… Hmm, fine, I’ll follow your idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I get the chance later, I’ll add more systems—ah, new ideas keep flooding in! I can’t even think straight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, thank you so much! Your technical skill is incredible! If I had you as an assistant, my dreams could all come true quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Juniper’s gaze was tender—but not romantic love; she simply wanted to lure Guang Tai into helping her build more machines:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re free after this, why not join my research team?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai: “No, that won’t work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eeeh~~! So heartless.” Juniper sighed. She’d expected this answer; she patted her cheeks and regained her energetic demeanor:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine! If you change your mind, just come find me anytime! I’ll make good use of your knowledge and skills—come back in ten days for the C Device!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bidding farewell to Juniper and Truffle, a Shieldon flew back from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using spiritual energy, Guang Tai confirmed no Plasma Team members were active nearby—the ninja-like figure was likely one of the Dark Iron Triad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since leaving Wi-Fi City, he’d been tailing Guang Tai, but kept his distance, which is why Shieldon hadn’t noticed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Crystal gave no warning, confirming he was truly absent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai boarded Professor Rowan’s car; en route, they passed Tangcao Town, home to two Musicians and a location where Plasma Team once gave speeches—but Plasma Team hadn’t yet noticed this rural town, focusing their activities on major cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai wondered whether he should visit Tangcao Village to see those two musicians on his way back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he swiftly passed through Tangcao Village, with Luzon Town as his final destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heroes’ hometown, the origin of all things—in the Special Episode, beside Luzon Town there was another unnamed small village, where the protagonist Black had moved from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here as well, numerous villages surrounded Luzon Town, and since Luzon Town lay near the sea, a kind-hearted tide-wind drifted gently over this distant town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These Pokémon can live here without worry; the back mountain is planted with many fruit trees, features rich terrain, and is bordered by a river flowing into the sea—ideal habitat for Pokémon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, there are two things I’d like to entrust to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the laboratory, bringing the Pokémon to the back mountain, Professor Rowan suddenly mentioned giving Guang Tai some items, and soon she produced two objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Pokédex—it’s both a recording device and a handheld database. It aids Trainers in their adventures and allows you to look up Pokémon data via scanning or manual search.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Entrusting the Pokédex to different Trainers to collect and organize Pokémon data, and creating detailed profiles for each Pokémon—that’s our work as Pokémon Professors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this is my latest research: the Shiny Charm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wearing this charm makes it easier to encounter Shiny Pokémon. After studying many Shiny Pokémon, I reached some conclusions, especially in nature reserves—so I created this item. Whether it works? I can only say the encounter rate for Shiny Pokémon is still far too low; they’re too rare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe some Shiny Pokémon appear due to magnetic fluctuations, so this charm incorporates corresponding technology—it’s essentially a detection device that senses the unique wavelength emitted by Shiny Pokémon, drawing them to the wearer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Item: Shiny Charm (Reality).】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Description: A magical Shiny Charm that makes encountering Shiny Pokémon easier. Gifted by Professor Rowan.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: Increases the chance of encountering Shiny Pokémon.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Bonus: The Dream Charm has been projected onto the real Charm! Unique Charm effect unlocked!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Unique Effect: By projecting the Dream Shiny Charm at the correct location, the real Shiny Charm now possesses special power. Using special forces—such as psychic energy, creation force, or aura—you can “re-decide” a Pokémon’s color, switching it between Shiny and normal hues.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Note: Once a Pokémon becomes Shiny, it can yield unique materials only obtainable from Shiny Pokémon, such as the scales of a Red Gyarados or the golden dust of a Golden Volcarona. The re-decide ability does not affect Pokémon still in the egg.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounds kinda interesting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new unique effect is “coloring”? And it’s actually useful—you can obtain rare materials from Pokémon without harming them, and you can revert the change after the decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I can’t get a Shiny Pokémon, I’ll just change one myself, then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai held the charm and looked at the Shieldon beside him, then activated the Shiny Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Shieldon’s body darkened, its golden greatsword turning black, while its white blade suddenly became a terrifying blood-red!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guh? (Why did my body change color?)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh?!!” Professor Rowan stared in shock: “It became a Shiny Pokémon! What did you just do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just… used a bit of psychic energy,” Guang Tai brushed it off, and the Shiny Charm performed a second re-decide—Shieldon returned to its golden form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shieldon patted its body, finding no change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that black form looked pretty cool!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shieldon raised its ribbon hand and gave a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, you can’t just brush this off with ‘psychic energy’! I’m the creator of the Shiny Charm. Shiny Pokémon aren’t necessarily stronger physically, but clearly they’re triggered by some natural stimulus to take that form—this is crucial for research into Pokémon origins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In short, can you demonstrate it again? What kind of psychic energy was that golden ripple you just used?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, the laboratory door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry! Has Professor Rowan returned? As agreed, I’m here to pick up my Pokémon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl with a single ponytail strode in, striking and graceful—she froze when she saw Guang Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!” The girl’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a news celebrity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2359,"2026-06-19T14:14:17.420Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","df119bdd9cfe4eda0d0c2cde7f862df125bd06809625d4f16059e4bbefc9fabb","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-254","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-252",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaster-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-cover.jpg"]
