What’s wrong?\" Guang Tai asked, puzzled. Liliroot jumped from his hands, her three leaves drooping slowly from her sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I win, do I have to leave the workshop?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the Mischievous Thunderbolt will keep occupying the habitat—so what’s the point of fighting anymore?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no reason left to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai saw Liliroot’s despair and quietly realized something. He suddenly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you not want to leave here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li\" Liliroot turned to glance at Guang Tai, then at Ma Hu’s Double-Edge Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should she leave—or stay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry,\" Guang Tai’s voice reached her, and Liliroot lifted her head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether you want to leave or stay, I won’t stop you. Take your time to think, then—\" Guang Tai paused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do what you want. Do what you believe is right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liliroot’s leaves slowly straightened again. Her eyes held thought, but her expression remained sorrowful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Double-Edge Sword, seeing this, finally snapped out of Ma Hu’s stupor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh! So she doesn’t want to leave—she’s grown attached to the workshop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double-Edge Sword floated over and brushed her leaves with its ribbons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Owuu~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oopu~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hey, partings in this world are like this—sometimes others are merely passersby in your life, and aren’t you just a passerby in theirs? Like me—I’ve been a passerby in the entire nation’s history, from kings to knights, all vanishing amid laughter and cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liliroot asked Double-Edge Sword: Didn’t you have a previous trainer? Didn’t you feel anything when he disappeared?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double-Edge Sword replied: Though his presence still feels recent to me, a thousand years have passed—he’s long turned to ash. Sometimes you must face reality, and do what you believe is meaningful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve found a new way of life now. Memories of the kingdom will fade. Compared to the past, this life suits me better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, another reason is my bond with him wasn’t deep—he eventually left me to gather dust in a storage room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Owuu~! Oopu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if reclaiming your habitat is meaningful to you, then go do it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just come back afterward. Don’t worry if other Pokémon come to take it—just slap any that show up. Eventually, none will dare come near!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double-Edge Sword’s advice was blunt, making Liliroot laugh through her tears, and Guang Tai stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wawa!\" Liliroot bounced up to Guang Tai, her three leaves swaying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you still want to keep living with me, then according to Double-Edge Sword’s logic, that’s fine too,\" Guang Tai smiled. \"It’s entirely your choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow your heart. Don’t choose something you’ll regret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liliroot curled her skirt, cheering herself on—and slowly, an idea formed in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, just as Double-Edge Sword said!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wawa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if other Pokémon come to claim the habitat later, it’ll be because I chose to abandon it—just like I chose to leave Miss Skirt and the other Liliroots behind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s my choice—my voluntary abandonment—is completely different from being driven out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will fight—and then return here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to leave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stubborn Pokémon sometimes overcome psychological struggles faster,\" Guang Tai smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stubbornness isn’t bad. Compared to timid, introverted Pokémon, they’re stronger and hold onto their convictions more firmly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! That’s the spirit! Tomorrow, we’ll prepare and challenge that Mischievous Thunderbolt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wawa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai extended his hand; Liliroot raised her little skirt. They slapped palms together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double-Edge Sword raised its ribbons, gripping each hand, emitting a sound of approval:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Owuu~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oopu~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See? My advice, from someone who’s lived a thousand years, is better, right? Sometimes you should listen to the voices of ancient things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you say so, then now is the time to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai rose from his crouch, walked to the workbench, and picked up the Arceus statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he paused, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, an illegal move had already appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was \"Weather Ball.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, Liliroot shouldn’t be able to learn Weather Ball—it requires evolution to learn, and any evolved form can learn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In prior work, she accidentally gained this move—meaning, through work, one can occasionally gain moves only available after evolution, though perhaps not as powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, Weather Ball is already quite strong—it just requires specific weather conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In nature, some Pokémon can learn moves normally only available after evolution under special circumstances. Thinking of this, Guang Tai nodded inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Liliroot’s learning potential is unexpectedly high?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, what powerful move will the Arceus statue reveal to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will it be that dance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai took the two Pokémon and the statue outside to an open field. Liliroot knew this statue held extraordinary power—the thing Guang Tai made but never let anyone touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the moment to use it? What power will it give me? Liliroot wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Arceus statue—this Pokémon is said to be the deity who created the world,\" Guang Tai introduced to the two Pokémon. Liliroot and Double-Edge Sword were moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Pokémon that created the world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a Pokémon exists? No—this isn’t even a Pokémon anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So now, awaken. You can feel the power from the statue, right? Touch it, then—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all up to you. It will let you learn a powerful post-evolution move—but only Pokémon can benefit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liliroot didn’t hesitate—she touched the Arceus statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grand, ancient music echoed in her heart—music that had traveled thousands of years from a forgotten age, the hymns once played by the gods’ people of the Divine Land to honor Arceus’s might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand years of time flowed across, from ancient past to future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange energy surged from the air around her; light began to radiate from Liliroot’s body—radiance similar to evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient music merged with this energy. Liliroot closed her eyes, listening, visions flooding her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Distant skies, ancient mountains, silent forests, enduring ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light appeared in the sky; the ruins restored to their former glory. Many humans and Pokémon sang and danced, raised torches—their voices made the sky’s light blaze, light and flame intertwining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dances of those people, those Pokémon, carried a strange rhythm and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To reveal the greatness of the deity through music... and dance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Liliroot unclenched her tiny fist from the statue. She understood—and began unconsciously imitating the ancients and Pokémon, mimicking their dance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liliroot danced in place, hopping and leaping!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faintly, the ancient divine music echoed with her dance, leaving Guang Tai and Double-Edge Sword stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, immense power gathered on Liliroot’s body—the radiance fully burst forth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wawa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liliroot completed the ancient dance. The light faded. Her skirt curled up—she now knew exactly how to use this powerful move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Arceus statue helped Liliroot master a powerful move!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Liliroot learned \"Victory Dance\"!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Having mastered Victory Dance, using a Sun Stone will cause Liliroot to evolve into its Shining Form!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having mastered the noble Victory Dance—and confirmed her evolution form—the door to a new world was slowly opening before Liliroot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you still don't know Toxic; if you did, you could use a quality-based approach. Still, what you have now is already good enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sometimes, when a revenge battle becomes too quality-focused, you lose the true essence of combat—it's better to defeat your enemy with real strength, punch by punch, kick by kick!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use the power you've gained to defeat them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai stroked the leaves of the Lily Root Doll, then returned the statue of Arceus to the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Guang Tai caught sight of the Symbol Tablet on the workbench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tablet’s inscriptions had been scrambled into a new word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regirock—Lei Ji Luo Ke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Symbol Tablet sometimes foresees special events related to Pokémon; after Celebi, the next to appear is the Legendary Giant, Regirock?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1411,"2026-06-19T14:14:16.243Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4a16e5a1108538ba5a68eb2ebee6015553b7f147516cdd0356250a315dd0a45d","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-59","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-57",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaster-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-cover.jpg"]
