Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Facing the pressure from Walking Wake, Zoroark had to fight with all its might, eagerly seeking its approval. Under the influence of its Illusion ability, Zoroark directly transformed into the same form as Walking Wake!

In the movie "Zoroark: Master of Illusions," the illusions created by Zoroark in Crown City could even freeze the Shiny Legendary Beasts in place. This Zoroark, carefully nurtured by N, was no weaker in ability than the one in the movie!

"Awo?" Walking Wake curiously sized up Zoroark, who had transformed into its own appearance. This made Walking Wake snort dismissively and grumble.

A copy is just a copy. The king is a fake, the hero is a fake, and even the Pokémon under them act like they're pretending and imitating. Your kingdom has nothing of substance!

Looking at it that way, the Trainer I chose is much better!

These words caused Zoroark to suddenly stiffen, a look of shame appearing on its face, but it quickly turned into anger!

"I won't allow you to speak of Master N like that! Legendary Dragon, I have already shown forbearance repeatedly."

"Do you believe Master N is inferior to the owner of this workshop? Then, I implore you to listen carefully to Master N's ideals. Please make your decision again."

Zoroark was somewhat unsure when it said this, after all, the first time it encountered Walking Wake, a large chunk of its fur was plucked out, almost turning it into a bald-headed 'zoroark'.

But Walking Wake's words severely provoked Zoroark's heart. Moreover, when talking about the owner of this workshop, Zoroark only learned about a human from the descriptions of the Swords of Justice, but it hadn't seen them yet.

However, the fact that so many Pokémon, even Legendary Pokémon, could be gathered together and live peacefully here, even if it was only possible in a dream world, was enough to surprise Zoroark.

This human is indeed not to be underestimated. It's just unknown whether he is in the Unova region in the real world. He is likely to become a strong competitor for Master N.

Moreover, the Legendary Dragon has already acknowledged this human, causing a strong sense of urgency to arise in Zoroark's heart!

"Master N is working to liberate all Pokémon. Master N wants to turn this world into a world of Pokémon. He wants to see what no one else can see: the ideals of the Pokémon in Poké Balls, the truth about Trainers, and the future where Pokémon become complete beings. To that end, he must obtain power, obtain the power to convince everyone, to unlock the equation that changes the world. Many Pokémon believe that Master N is their friend. I don't want you to offend Master N!"

"If you feel he has been offended, it can only mean that you have had such thoughts in your heart from the beginning. It seems that you may not agree with his ideals, but have simply ignored this due to excessive loyalty."

The stern Cobalion made a faint comment that struck straight at Zoroark's heart, making it both annoyed and angry, while Walking Wake's attitude towards Cobalion changed!

Hey! Horned goat, it seems you're not so annoying after all!

I didn't expect you would actually speak up for me!

"A copycat hero is still a hero. In short, as long as the future Master N envisions arrives, then it is enough to be called a true hero."

"No, Master N would not be like that... That person's belief is even firmer than mine." Zoroark hardly hesitated, trying hard to defend N and actively preaching to the other Pokémon, but the Swords of Justice's responses always hit the fragile points in its words, making Zoroark struggle to cope.

At the same time, not far from the farmland, the Light Stone, which had been placed at the bottom of the curry pot, and the Dark Stone, which was being charged in the workshop hut, were also silently releasing their power, carefully listening to every move of the Pokémon on the Sky Island.

Hmm? Someone wants to gain power... Someone wants to emulate the story of the founding hero... A successor?

The Light Stone and Dark Stone didn't expect anyone to actively seek them out, and from this Zoroark's "preaching," it could be known that its master possessed grand ideals. This point was somewhat appreciated by the Dark Stone, but it held no attraction for the Light Stone.

Ideals are something that only exists in the distant future, so to turn ideals into something tangible, you must have power. This is reality.

In terms of action policy, there is indeed nothing wrong with it, but Cobalion's words are also to the point.

If the Pokémon acting as his proxy does not firmly believe in its master's ideals during the preaching process, then how can the Legendary Dragon be recognized?

It's not because N's ideals are not extreme enough to arouse interest. In fact, Reshiram and Zekrom themselves have long understood that the more extreme and persistent a person is in pursuing ideals and truth, the more qualified they are to be called a hero, because such a person's heart will not be easily shaken and will always maintain their initial beliefs.

Dark Stone: 【There can be many candidates for heroes, but a trainer who can earn the unconditional trust of their Pokémon is worth a look. However, Cobalion and Terrakion are right, whether he has the capacity to become a hero depends on what he does.】

Light Stone: 【At this point, he has entered the realm of truth. When he understands the vast difference between the real world and the ideal world, he might abandon his ideals. Even then, are you planning to favor him? If so, make your decision quickly!】

Dark Stone: 【Uh, I know you're trying to instigate me, but I didn't say I'd give up on the previous candidates. Well, at least for now, this newcomer is ranked very low on the list of candidates.】

The Light Stone was very unhappy.

Hmph, this black dragon still hasn't given up. There are so many people in the world pursuing ideals, you can just pick one to assist and leave the workshop quickly!

In the Labyrinth of Meditation, Mewtwo emerged. As a powerful Psychic-type Pokémon, it also listened to everything that happened here.

Calyrex had already recruited many Pokémon, and they began working under the King's call. Mewtwo originally intended to help them complete the land preparation and planting in one go, but looking at the energetic and enthusiastic Pokémon, Mewtwo shook its head to itself.

The plants that the Pokémon plant with their own hands have a different meaning for them. Sometimes, it is necessary to restrain one's psychic powers appropriately.

Mewtwo saw Calyrex waving and greeted back, indicating that it would be there soon. At the same time, Mewtwo noticed that many Psychic-type Pokémon were secretly watching it.

As a fellow Psychic-type Pokémon, its strength would arouse the envy of other Psychic-type Pokémon. So, Mewtwo invited them to the Labyrinth of Meditation to train together, and offered to teach them advanced techniques for using powerful psychic powers.

“Power is not something that cannot be granted to me. If you want to become stronger, then train with me.”

Mewtwo smiled. Having resolved its inner conflicts, it had a very strong affinity. The Psychic-type Pokémon began to whisper, their faces filled with anticipation.

The Gothitelle who had listened to Calyrex's speech earlier was among them.

Oh my, the powerful Psychic-type Pokémon are all gathered together, how lucky!?

My master is about to be promoted to Elite Four recently, I can't let her lose face! It's a good opportunity to train my psychic abilities! I must secretly become stronger and then amaze everyone!

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

On the other side of the maze, the battle between Walking Wake and Zoroark had ended with no suspense. Walking Wake won. The ancient dragon shook its head and made its usual taunting sounds.

However, Mewtwo slowly floated to Zoroark's side.

“Zoroark, your heart is shaking violently.”

Mewtwo looked at the dispirited Zoroark, met the inquiring gazes of the Swords of Justice, and smiled slightly:

“Whether humans or Pokémon, we are all living, breathing beings in this world. No one has the right to deprive us of that. At the same time, in order to enrich the world, you and your master must accept different ideas.”

“I have read from your heart some of the will that your master has instilled in you. However, humans are different from humans. Narrow-minded thinking will only trap oneself in a dark room. Your master must open the window to see the real world.”

“I have walked this path before, destruction, annihilation, madness, self-questioning, confusion… Now I pass all of this on to you. If your master is really willing to listen to your heart, then these words will surely be conveyed to him.”

Seeing Zoroark's puzzled gaze, Mewtwo did not continue to say more. Some truths cannot be understood by "instilling," just like itself in the past. Giovanni instilled in it all kinds of destruction and battle, even the knowledge of ruling the world, so it stubbornly believed that that was the meaning of its existence.

There must be external forces to correct such people, and according to the legends of the Unova region, perhaps the legend of the twin heroes will soon reappear in that distant land.

Light Stone: 【See, when it comes to ideals, isn't Mewtwo's ideal more beautiful? Isn't the bond between humans and Pokémon fully demonstrated in it?】

Dark Stone: 【Well, theoretically speaking, as a Pokémon created by humans, Mewtwo also has the qualifications to be a hero. Rather, in those novel stories written by humans, such beings with mysterious origins and complex pasts are more suitable to undertake those great missions... Hey, if that's the case, can't Mewtwo also be considered a true hero?】

If we're talking like that, there are too many hero candidates!

The two stones recognized Mewtwo's ideals again, while Zoroark regretfully left the dream. Its figure blurred and disappeared, followed by the sound of hooves from across the distant Rainbow Bridge.

“Hee-haw!” A pony with a magnificent mane stepped onto this sky island: “Masters, I’m here! Where is the ‘companion’ you said I could learn Sacred Sword from?”
