Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Earth Power is a special Ground-type attack move that releases the power of the earth beneath the opponent's feet, sometimes lowering their Special Defense.

"This power itself uses the earth's ley lines to attack. Using it in ruins can cause very serious damage, especially to ruins with special effects," Steven explained.

Kouta immediately thought of Regirock's 'Giant Bear'.

Judging from the rock pillar's description at the time, that Giant Bear was likely a 'Ursaluna' that had already gone extinct in Hisui. As for whether its form was a normal Alpha Ursaluna or a 'Bloodmoon', that was still unknown.

However, Kouta felt that the chances of it being in Bloodmoon form were not very high.

Bloodmoon is a special form of Ursaluna. No, rather than a form, it's more like a special individual. A long time ago, there was one that left Hisui, crossed the sea to a land called 'Kitakami', and survived there in harsh environments. Because the unique yellow moon pattern on its forehead was dyed red, it was called 'Bloodmoon'. It protects its body with iron-hard mud and possesses a left eye that can see through the darkness.

Kitakami is located near Sinnoh. In a sense, the Sinnoh region and Kitakami are also connected, but the distance between them is a bit too far.

"Ursaluna?"

Steven was quite puzzled by Kouta's guess because Kouta mentioned a Pokémon he had never heard of. Also, Kouta has been accompanied by a Pokémon that he had never seen before, but because he was too focused on the stones and Kouta himself, he didn't pay too much attention.

Judging from Kouta's usual way of addressing it, this Pokémon seemed to be 'Lilligant', but it looked completely different from the Lilligant he knew.

Kouta: "It's a unique Pokémon from the ancient Sinnoh region. Ursaluna is the evolved form of Ursaring, but it requires a special type of soil. Similarly, my Lilligant is also in its ancient Sinnoh form because the environment of the Sinnoh region is very similar to that of ancient Sinnoh, which was called Hisui back then."

"Regi--" Regirock then looked at Steven, asking with some concern.

Kouta: "It's asking if the energy flow of the ruins is disrupted, can it be restored to its original state?"

"No problem. You can adjust the flow of energy on the ground with psychic powers and correct it. However, this also requires craftsmanship. I'll first carve the traces of the ley line energy flow on the ground..."

Steven crouched down and used a stone to leave marks, drawing straight, intersecting lines like drawing a map.

Kouta stared at Steven's technique, and information gradually gathered in his mind...!

[Actively learned a skill.]

[Acquired: Guidance Drawing Knowledge.]

[Description: This is knowledge about how to accurately draw guide lines and graphics. In conjunction with spiritual power or psychic power, you can draw terrain maps and work diagrams in the air that automatically lead the way, and dotted lines will appear for guidance. Requires 'Map Crafting'.]

[This knowledge, combined with advanced petrology knowledge, is important for exploring ruins.]

"I see, I understand completely."

Kouta also crouched down. After concentrating on observing Steven's technique, Kouta also learned how to draw.

Steven was slightly stunned, and then a look of admiration appeared on his face.

"As expected of Mr. Kouta, you understood what I was trying to express after just a brief look. In short, just follow these carvings for guidance. I've explored many ruins, and most of them have some kind of item sealed inside, and I've also encountered some energy disturbances, but most of them were accidents."

"For example, in the Hoenn region, there is an Ancient Tomb, which has a stone house. Legend has it that it contains a door connecting the ancient Pokémon world and the current Pokémon world. To open this stone house, you must collect four different orbs from various places and embed them in the stone house."

"This is a typical method of energy utilization, guiding the correct energy to the correct location... Many ancient ruins have extremely similar sealing techniques."

"However, when they finally opened the ruins, they discovered that the so-called truth of the legend was actually because there was groundwater inside that was connected to the ocean, so it was inhabited by living fossils like Relicanth. Team Magma once thought it was the place where Groudon was sealed, so they tried to open it, but they were greatly disappointed."

Steven talked about past funny events. Later, he was invited to investigate the ruins, and he also discovered interesting things about the four orbs, after all, they were also 'special stones'.

Team Magma only cared about finding Groudon and dismissed these precious gems, which made Steven think that these people really didn't know their stuff.

This also made Kouta understand that Steven and Cynthia had different directions in their ruin exploration.

Steven mainly focuses on the stones in the ruins, their manufacturing techniques, and special mechanisms, while Cynthia studies the ruins to understand the origins of their construction and the legends related to them.

That being said, in terms of the practicality of ruin exploration, Steven is actually better than Cynthia.

It sounds a bit strange to treat friends as items.

Kouta's expression was slightly subtle.

Well then, it's time for me to work!

"Thank you, Mr. Steven. Leave the rest to me!"

"Everyone, prepare to work!"

The Honedge's blade was drawn, the Lilligant's leaves glowed with a sharp green light, the Turtwig shook its leaves, the Metagross's eyes glowed with psychic energy, and the Unown blinked and stuck itself to a wall.

Steven stared at the Unown, stroked his chin, and showed a thoughtful expression, which made Unown E unhappy!

What!

Looking at me with such malicious eyes! But I can't help with the ruin restoration, can I? What else can I do but stick to the wall!

I'm useless!

"Unown's Hidden Power will be of great use in the ruins. Although there are no Unown in the Hoenn region, I've heard that Unown have the ability to sense people's hearts and turn those thoughts into reality. I've also been invited to some ruins in the Johto region, where I've discovered traces of Unown and personally seen them use Hidden Power to activate the mechanisms of the ruins."

"Why Unown's Hidden Power is different from the Hidden Power learned by regular Pokémon is still a mystery."

Unown E was stunned for a moment, and then its eyes lit up.

What, so you were praising me! And you could have told me sooner that my power could be used to restore the ruins!

"Anong~"

Its mood improved immediately.

"So, Unown can also play a big role in restoring ruins... environment, climate, the spirit of the ruins..." Kouta murmured, looking at the collapsed wall and the huge stones piled around it. Kouta's consciousness began to concentrate, and with the drawing knowledge he had just obtained, he constructed a line drawing of the ruins in his mind as if they were intact!

This can greatly increase the efficiency of building and restoring buildings!

Kouta took out paper and drew a picture on it, and the paper he used was 'Spooky Plate Paper'. Drawing pictures on this paper will create illusions to confuse the reader, but in fact, it has more uses.

The surface of the Spooky Plate Paper rippled. When the last stroke was completed, the paper suddenly burst out with cyan-white phosphorescence!

For example, now, when Kouta drew the graphic lines in his mind and gave them to the other Pokémon, the Pokémon immediately fell into an illusion and fully understood the 'ruin graphics' that appeared in the illusion!

"3D modeling complete." Kouta held the drawing high above his head, and the ruin lines projected from the paper instantly enveloped the entire ruin. The Pokémon's pupils simultaneously lit up with the illusion blue light of spiritual power, and the ancient architectural structure was gradually engraved into their consciousness!

This will allow them to help him better!

"Youwu~!" The Honedge understood the fastest. After all, it is a Ghost-type, and illusions can't trap it at all, so it immediately memorized the images. The dual swords glowed with the sharp light of Psychic-type energy!

The second to break free was Lilligant. Her leaves swayed. Although her carving skills were still far from those of the Honedge, as long as she cooperated with the Honedge, there would be no problem at all!

So, now is the time to use 'Psycho Cut/Leaf Blade'!

Kouta looked at the Metagross and found that it had already escaped the influence of the illusion. It nodded slightly to Kouta, indicating that it understood the graphics.

The Metagross's brain has a complex neural network and is smarter than a supercomputer. With the parallel processing of four brains, any calculation can be completed in an instant!

A mere graphic is easily handled!

Well then, next is the transportation of the boulders, which can be left to 'Confusion' and 'Psychic'!

The Metagross began to use its psychic powers to transport the stones according to the graphics provided by Kouta. Beams of psychic energy simultaneously pulled and cleared the architectural debris scattered everywhere. The Regirock used rock moves to create stones and moved the boulders together with the Metagross, transporting huge stones from near the rock ruins.

With the help of the two large Pokémon, there were soon more usable stones. Steven released another Beldum and asked it to help with psychic powers as well!

The Turtwig shook its head and used Razor Leaf to cut the stones into the correct shapes!

The Lilligant's Leaf Blade followed closely, cutting into the rock layers. The jade-colored blades weaved a net on the surface of the boulders. As she spun and danced, the scattered leaves automatically calibrated the precision of the carving. The two long swords of the Honedge crisscrossed, tracing the trajectory of Psycho Cut, accurately replicating the carved patterns in the illusion.

Kouta concentrated on his work.

The walls were rebuilt, the stones were stacked in their proper places, and psychic powers compressed them tightly. Psycho Cut and Leaf Blade quickly carved rough shapes on the stones. Kouta's tools followed closely to carve, and the Sinnoh style reappeared in these ruined remains.

The ancient atmosphere gradually permeated, and the lines on the surface of the walls were becoming clear and sharp at a speed visible to the naked eye!

These ruined remains were being reborn at an incredible speed!

"What is this feeling? This ruin is?!
