Their connection to souls and psychic power stems from the overflow of the Supreme Deity, existing in the universe as a conscious mystical energy or anthropomorphic form—the source of human souls and minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a certain sense, the Water City twins are in fact angels of the divine world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Latios?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shiny Latios did not understand what Deoxys was saying; it transmitted its emotions to this visitor from heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was born and raised in another world; though among its kind there were stories that after death, the soul leaves behind a crystal and the mind returns to the realm of light, it had never seen that wondrous world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shiny Latios’s response reminded Guang Tai of the guardian deity of the Water City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the movie, the Water City’s Latios sacrificed itself; its soul departed from the planet, ascending endlessly into the boundless universe, as if returning to a distant homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet that soul never reached its destination—in the light, it transformed into a new tear of heart-water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【So that’s how it is—you too came from that realm, but you arrived too early. It was “the God” who sent you here.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【To see a companion from ages past brings me joy.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deoxys was delighted—seeing more Pokémon from that other world made it feel it was not alone in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though many Pokémon came from the cosmos, none arrived from the same realm; just as the great Dragon Comet contains dragons from different realms—some are Dragon Gods, bringing ideals and truth to the world, others bring endless darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Latios before it—or these Infinite Pokémon—came from the same realm as itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Departing from the same realm, yet journeying to different worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a Pokémon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madame Valachia stared at the floating Master Ball, not pondering the meaning of the Pokémon inside, only curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai: “My partner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valachia: “I see. You too are surrounded by miraculous Pokémon, for you are a special person. Meeting you has been my fortune.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sincerely thanked Guang Tai, then took a item from her handbag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Latios used a special item to thank you. You allowed us to meet again—I am truly grateful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am truly happy now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she smiled from the heart, yet her voice trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Latios gently nuzzled her cheek; Valachia smiled, wiping away her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So thank you, mysterious traveler who came from afar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t anything valuable—just a small token of my heart. Please accept it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Item: PP Maximizer.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Description: An extremely expensive potion that raises the maximum PP of one move learned by a Pokémon to its highest possible value.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve decided to pick up my old dream again—it’s not too late now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madame Valachia smiled, yet raised her head to gaze at the church, filled with emotion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is truly miraculous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My grandfather was right—another world does intersect with ours. What we see in dreams can become real; dreams are bridges connecting the two worlds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will seek out others who have entered the other world and tell them of this church—I will pass on this feeling of gratitude!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai knew that from now on, this place would become the one visited by the protagonists in Black and White; the strange people appearing in the church would gradually arrive here, and after the C-Device was mass-produced, people began to understand the Release Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having bid farewell to Madame Valachia, Guang Tai had achieved his purpose for coming to this church—and had unintentionally completed a helping task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Task Completed!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Reward: Release Jade ×5, Distant Longing ×1, Heart Vortex ×1, Star Fragment ×10, Giant Gold Pearl ×2!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Distant Longing: A longing woven from countless emotions and grateful hearts, containing past dreams. It greatly enhances your emotional perception, granting strong sensitivity to the emotions of souls, nature, and life, and enabling connection with them.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Heart Vortex: The ability to transform memories and longing into a vortex of the heart, pouring it into crafted items.

Collectors will pay high prices for it.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leafeon looked back at the church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The friendship between Latios and Valachia had deeply moved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It recalled that Mao Xiaogou once had something similar—but it ended before it could truly begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, what remained in its memories were only regret and disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leafeon approached Blaziken, asking about ancient life—what was it like? Did it have any special memories?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Blaziken blinked its innocent eyes, utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know! I was revived in the modern era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Houndoom spoke much of ancient lifestyles, it had only lived a few centuries and had seen only records left behind in ancient cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those ancient spirits probably know more—they keep calling me some god’s offspring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to ask Shieldon—it actually lived in ancient times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, don’t expect too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai interjected into the two’s conversation: “Shieldon’s memories are fragmented—it was just a servant in the ancient kingdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Poké Balls at its waist jiggled—Shieldon was displeased!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of talk is that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a servant, didn’t I learn plenty of useful things?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t a servant knight still count as a knight?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leafeon shook its head and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph, all my teammates act as if they’ve never considered the future—and of course, they don’t remember the past either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But having no past means memories can begin now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-haired puppy pondered carefully, then looked at the Heart Scale in its paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just training, but embarking on a journey—this path has shown me many fascinating things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I keep traveling with my Trainer, I’ll see even more, and create even more memories!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it raised the Heart Scale high—the scale shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai now finally had time to examine the green gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, it startled Guang Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Item (?): Grass-Green Gem.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Description: A gem emitting a emerald glow, deeply tied to the legends of Hoenn. Long hidden in the church of Pastoria, it was covered in dust—as if, in ages past, it had traveled across vast time and space to reach this world, now ownerless.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: A gem capable of summoning Rayquaza at a significant location. One of the rarest crystallizations of natural energy. If given to Rayquaza, something may happen.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gem of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one speaks of such items, aside from the Life, Flame, and Poison Gems, the most well-known are likely the Crimson Gem and the Indigo Gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both are crystallizations of natural energy, corresponding to Groudon and Kyogre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving these two gems to their respective Pokémon awakens their Primal Reversion, unleashing devastating droughts and torrential floods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet few know that Rayquaza also has a corresponding gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Crimson and Indigo Gems, the Grass-Green Gem cannot trigger Rayquaza’s Primal Reversion—and in all prior works, this gem appeared only once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Oak somehow obtained this gem and gave it to the game’s protagonist, with almost no mention of its origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though tied to Hoenn, it ended up in Professor Oak’s hands in Kanto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knows who left it, nor what natural force it crystallized from—perhaps it came from the sky, but its name was later buried beneath the “Legendary Rock” and the “Rainbow Meteorite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meteorite enabling Rayquaza’s Mega Evolution gained fame, while the Grass-Green Gem was forgotten in the corner of legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to tangible forces like land and ocean, the stormy sky cannot easily crystallize into a brilliant natural gem—it lacks a vessel to anchor itself. Perhaps the Grass-Green Gem was born only by rare accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Special Episodes, the Green Stone was artificially created to control Rayquaza; using the Green Stone allows one to understand Rayquaza’s thoughts. Yet before this was revealed, the Grass-Green Gem had not even officially appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, there is a slight connection.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When digging deepest into the soil of Ross Mountain, a mountaineer once described the soil as remarkably similar to that of Hoenn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning, natural energy crystallizations existing in Hoenn might also exist in Unova.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A region connecting most of the world—that is Unova.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who hid this gem in the church is now lost to history.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the Black and White era’s distribution, there was a Rayquaza that knew V-Flame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grass-Green Gem still emitted a dim glow, with no discernible energy fluctuation—Guang Tai sensed within it a wind that illuminated all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not light, but wind—or rather, an extremely bright green current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Summon Rayquaza at the Buried Relic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s unnecessary—you carry no mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai could only sigh, gazing at this useless gem, thinking bitterly: blame Arceus or Rayquaza—why must Rayquaza have only Mega Evolution and no Primal Reversion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your sole purpose, you gem that appeared only once, was to summon Rayquaza—and so the world forgot you; future generations no longer needed you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sky Pillar and the Seven-Colored Meteorites of Hoenn will take over your duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To feel such emotion over a single gemstone is because the grass-green gem is truly a one-time service product. It was designed yet never granted real power; though it is the most orthodox natural crystallization, it has sunk to a state inferior to the seven-colored meteorites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, as Guang Tai sighed, he faintly sensed a sense of regret emanating from the grass-green gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the wind of nature echoing—but if the gem truly possessed self-awareness, it would not be impossible. After all, in the Special Episodes and anime, the gems correspond to the wills of Groudon and Kyogre; anyone who tries to control them is in turn dominated by those two primordial beasts, making them extremely dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this perspective, the grass-green gem is actually the safest of all gems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai put the green gem into his backpack and, with Leafeon and Flareon, arrived at the famous hotel in Fuchsia City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s start making Wonder Juice—it’s an incredible juice that lets Pokémon grow rapidly. All the ingredients are ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the hotel attendant’s directions, they entered the largest room. Guang Tai also requested some special tools. Of course, a Pokémon-world hotel would have a juicer and similar equipment—soon enough, it was delivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai released all his Poké Balls, letting out his Pokémon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shieldon, Skitty, Torterra, Wailord, Flareon, Leafeon, the phantom Entei, along with the returning Budew and Axew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Deoxys, it floated in midair in the form of a Master Ball—after all, its activity time is only three minutes. Guang Tai wondered: if he gave Deoxys a Micle Berry, would it accelerate its growth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, three were not his own Pokémon, bringing the total to ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the anime, Deoxys likely required meteor energy to grow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Deoxys defeated by Rayquaza in the Arctic took three or four years to recover from its Core Form. His own Deoxys has been nourished by various droplets—it shouldn’t need that long to fully mature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnetic fields and magnetic instruments would interfere with Deoxys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After emerging, Entei began scanning the room. Guang Tai could sense what Entei was thinking, and he chuckled: “This place still can’t compare to your Crystal Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entei: “I’m merely observing human architecture with appreciation. As for comparison… well, there’s a bit of that.” It looked slightly embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artistic design of the Crystal Tower is indeed unique, but that was shaped in sync with Mei and the Unknown Totem—it was only an overseer’s role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a princess must live in a castle, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai handed the Micle Berry and Lum Berry to Skitty, sliced both fruits, and buried them beneath the small tree growing on Torterra’s back. This allowed new berries to begin forming—the fertile special soil and the lone, one-of-a-kind small tree could accomplish much; after being blessed by the White Forest, this tree had undergone a wondrous transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing all his companions gathered together in such lively company, Torterra gently shifted its body, pouring its potent life force into the tree on its back. Soon, tiny fruits began sprouting from the branches, rapidly ripened by the life energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those fruits were “Pear Blossom Berries.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop, plop—the Pear Blossom Berries fell one after another. Each Pokémon received one. This fruit does not appear in the Berry Pokédex; eating it soothes and heals the throat, and it’s delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wailord was the greediest—he snatched up a Pear Blossom Berry and bit into it whole. Juice flooded his mouth, rich with the sweet flavor he loved most—his eyes instantly brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far behind the Pecha Berry in taste! This must be the legendary gift from the forest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you, Torterra!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wailord rarely thanked other Pokémon—not even to Regigigas had he said it many times—but his respect for Torterra was genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a walking berry buffet is one of a kind! As long as you follow Torterra, you’ll never go hungry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, never seen this fruit before—excellent flavor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entei gave the Pear Blossom Berry high praise. Flareon roasted its berry and ate it, filling the air with fragrance. Leafeon buried its head in eating it. Shieldon and Skitty absorbed their berries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two—Budew looked around, then walked to the window and saw the ships outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had seen this scene before. It recognized this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchsia City. Here, home was not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Budew nodded at Guang Tai and gently licked him with its tongue—this was its thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axew stared blankly at its companion. It could feel its companion’s longing for home growing stronger—but its own homeland was still very distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long had it been since Plasma Team took it? Axew couldn’t count time. The Trainer’s face had already blurred in its memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It still remembered the Trainer’s words when they first set out on their journey—like an unreal dream. Then the dream shattered. The Trainer abandoned the dream of becoming a Dragon Tamer and gave it to Plasma Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it returned home, would it see the Trainer again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Budew’s state, Axew’s heart stirred with a faint hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a glass of juice appeared before Axew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wonder Juice was ready, emitting a pleasant aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axew blinked, then took the glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai, also a Dragon Tamer, comforted Axew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry. Today we rest well, then set out again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2472,"2026-06-19T14:14:17.420Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2f03fcc5a02dc0cd07c71a033e34da002d17dee8747b227a05c9b0830b55aa69","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-293","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-291",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaster-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-cover.jpg"]
