Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

As expected, after Calyrex settled down, the Dream Workshop gained abilities related to abundance!

Koki opened the door, and Calyrex was carried in by a Turtwig. Calyrex was thinking that if it could make more Reins of Unity in the future, perhaps it could prepare one for this Turtwig as well.

Although the turtle-rabbit combination looks a bit comical, as long as the strength is high enough, it's a way for it to repay this little turtle, allowing it to borrow its power!

The moment the door opened, a certain exchange of power that had been occurring in the room gradually ceased!

The Light Stone and Dark Stone both fell silent, pretending that nothing had just happened.

Just now, the Light Stone and Dark Stone had engaged in a deep exchange about which was more important: truth or ideals?

Although the Light Stone wanted to use Koki's existence to make the Dark Stone yield, Zekrom in the Dark Stone was unwilling to lose to Reshiram just like that!

Although the hero of truth and the hero of ideals may indeed be the same person, ideals are definitely more important than truth! This is its insistence as the Ideal Pokémon!

[If he and his Pokémon hadn't picked you up and heard your call, you wouldn't have received his gift. This is the embodiment of truth!]

Reshiram's words left Zekrom unable to refute!

Of course, Zekrom didn't want to confront Reshiram here. After all, it was in the wrong and had received the gift of the hero of truth. So, Zekrom came up with a compromise!

It might not be able to be the hero of ideals, but its Pokémon had the ideal of eating all the Pecha Berries!

So, as long as it let that Water-type Dragon become the hero, the hero of the Dragon Pokémon would naturally also be a hero!

This way, it wouldn't conflict with Reshiram's choice. After all, this was the new hero chosen by the hero of ideals!

Reshiram was very annoyed by this idea!

Of course, Zekrom had another idea… Although the hero of ideals might not be able to realize their ideals, at least they were full of ideas for the future. So, the current hero is the hero of truth, and the future hero is the hero of ideals. This doesn't conflict!

The present truth is stronger than ideals, but the future ideals will be stronger than truth!

Reshiram: “...?”

[In short, I'll tentatively assume that you admit that the current truth is stronger than ideals, right! In that case, I allow you to accept the gift of my hero!]

Although this result was a bit of a compromise, at least both the Black and White Dragons felt that they had gotten what they wanted!

Koki felt the strange atmosphere in the room and introduced Calyrex:

“The power of the Light Stone is what fills this place with vitality. This stone is the sleeping form of a Legendary Pokémon named Reshiram from another region. The other one is the Dark Stone.”

Calyrex felt the powerful energy contained in the two stones, but it was a little puzzled:

『Are there many strong people who have been sleeping all this time, just like me?』

Its mood improved immediately!

The two stones in front of it seemed quiet, but Calyrex noticed a hint of a problem:

『These two stones seemed to be communicating just now. Their powers collided. Is it really okay to leave them here?』

Intense energy residue still lingered in the air. Although it wasn't too aggressive, Calyrex could feel that the two stones didn't seem to be on good terms!

If it was just a simple argument, would it escalate into such a serious power clash?

“Ah, it's okay. They sometimes oppose each other and sometimes help each other. The two legendary dragons are like that, one respecting ideals and the other believing in truth.”

It's probably okay. After all, the relationship between the Black and White Dragons is one of loving and killing each other, Koki mused.

Reshiram, representing truth and the steam industry, and Zekrom, representing ideals and the electrical industry, if their energy could be stored, perhaps unique items could be created.

Just as Koki was thinking this, he suddenly noticed something strange under the Light Stone and quickly went over to check. He found that it was actually the shed skin of the Light Stone!

[Rare Material: Fragment of Light Stone.]

[Description: A fragment that has fallen off the outside of the Light Stone for some reason. It can be regarded as the embodiment of Reshiram's power.]

[Effect: Giving it to Fire- and Dragon-type Pokémon can help them grow better and strengthen their power.]

[Acquired Craft: Amplification Box Craft (B+)—This is a craft for making special machines that require corresponding mechanical knowledge. It can create a machine box that stores Pokémon energy and give it unique effects.]

Amplification Box... Is it something like the Magma Booster or the Electrizer? The structure and assembly of that kind of machine seem to be in the mechanical manual that Cyrus gave me!

Speaking of which, these two types of boxes are unique machines that have only been discovered in recent years. They were even listed as research projects in the special episode. It is not yet clear who made them, and similar things sometimes appear through space-time distortions in ancient Hisui, but its structure has been deciphered by Cyrus.

Koki held the fragment and looked at the Light Stone with some doubt, constantly observing the condition of the stone.

Why did it suddenly shed skin? Reshiram's ability isn't Shed Skin! And can stones even shed fragments? It wouldn't be dreaming and getting sick, would it?

The Dark Stone: […]

It left powder last time, and this time the Light Stone defiantly left skin fragments, is it working so hard to help the hero it chose?

“Let's try injecting power.” Koki injected power into the Light Stone, thinking that there was something wrong with the Light Stone. Under Koki's comfort, the surface of the Light Stone became brighter and whiter, and it condensed powerful vitality.

[The Light Stone is very happy.]

“…Looks like there's nothing wrong.”

Koki scratched his head, and then he heard a roar outside!

『Something is approaching outside!』

A dragon's roar came from outside the workshop. Calyrex immediately rode out on the Turtwig and saw a giant dragon running on the rainbow bridge leading to the ancient city!

『An intruder? Let me defeat it!』 Calyrex's eyes sharpened!

He didn't expect that there would be invading Pokémon in such a peaceful dream world!

『A long time ago, my steeds rampaged across the land like this. I subdued them, made them submit to me, and quelled their disruptive behavior. Although the Pokémon in front of me looks like a dragon... I haven't ridden a dragon yet!』

“No, that seems to be my Pokémon!” Koki looked out and saw Walking Wake returning!

“It's Walking Wake.”

“Awoo~” Walking Wake quickly crossed the rainbow bridge, seeming to be holding something in its little dragon claws. Seeing Koki appear, Walking Wake became excited and wagged its tail as it ran over, but when it saw Calyrex riding the little turtle...

“Awoo?” Walking Wake tilted its head.

Haha, what a big cauliflower!

Is this a new variety of food!

“Awoo!” Walking Wake's eyes were full of curiosity, and it bit Calyrex's big head!

『You, what are you doing!』

Calyrex's eyes widened, and its short little hands frantically waved up and down in afterimages, tears streaming from the pain:

『Let go, let go, you rude creature!』
