==========

Zekrom, one of the legendary Pokémon of the Unova region and one of the Three Dragons of Tao, is a mythical Pokémon said to burn the world to ashes with its lightning, aiding those who strive to create an ideal world. According to legends, if humans lose their sense of justice, Zekrom will destroy their kingdom with violent thunder.

Hikaru opened the door and surveyed the surroundings.

The Pecha Berry field was thriving. Theoretically, crops in the Dream World’s orchard should grow 50% slower than in reality. But now, many trees in the orchard were already bearing Pecha Berries!

[The power of the Light Stone has filled this place with vibrant life. The growth rate of crops in the Dream World has increased by 100%.]

“So that’s why.”

Upon touching one of the Pecha Berry trees, Hikaru understood why the berries were growing so quickly. It was due to the influence of the Light Stone he had brought back!

Besides that, there didn’t seem to be any signs of damage.

The information about the Dark Stone mentioned that it was still reliving the nightmares of the past. Based on the previous situation with the Light Stone, it should have triggered a large-scale disaster in the Dream World. Judging by the current state, it seemed the Dark Stone had only recently been brought back.

He couldn’t allow it to ruin the crop production.

Hikaru immediately gathered tools and began polishing the Dark Stone, following the same crafting process as he had done for the Light Stone.

[Crafting Enhancement: Through your exquisite craftsmanship, the Dark Stone has undergone some changes. All the scars on its surface have disappeared, and the stone seems to have calmed down, no longer releasing anger. Its inherent energy has increased.]

[The power of the Dark Stone will enhance the surrounding energy.]

[New Enhancement: Due to your advanced knowledge of Petrology, all your rock-related crafts are enhanced—effectiveness and elegance of the stone are increased by 30%.]

[With ‘Platinum Nurturing,’ you can inject energy into the Dark Stone to accelerate its transformation.]

“Huh?” Hikaru held the Dark Stone, carefully examining his “masterpiece.” The energy emitted by the Dark Stone had indeed increased, something he could feel with his spiritual power. Its appearance had also become more beautiful and mysterious, exuding a subtle, captivating allure that made it hard to look away. Just staring at it felt like observing a piece of frozen history. The strange feeling even left Hikaru amazed.

Ancient and modern coexist, history and future intertwine. If he could carve some reliefs and patterns on the surface of the Dark Stone as decorations, it might further enhance that mysterious feeling. But even with its current plain appearance, it was already impressive.

[Acquired Knowledge: Art of the Stone – Your artistic understanding of rocks has improved, increasing artistry by 25%.]

Creating and observing his crafts could enhance his own knowledge?

Hikaru placed the Dark Stone down, silently acknowledging the profound effect of his advanced petrology knowledge. Although artistic value couldn’t be applied to battles, the Pokémon world wasn’t just about fighting.

In daily life and product sales, artistry was a crucial selling point. After all, people pursued beautiful things; no one would intentionally buy ugly items unless their functionality was overwhelmingly powerful.

Hikaru then attempted to infuse his own power into the Dark Stone.

Would spiritual power work?

As his spiritual energy entered the Dark Stone, his knowledge as a Dragon Tamer activated, causing the hidden dragon energy within the Dark Stone to grow!

Crack—

The Light Stone emitted some noises, drawing Hikaru’s attention.

Faint flickers of firelight appeared around the white stone. When Hikaru touched it, he saw its status:

[The mood of the Light Stone seems to be bad.]

“Stones have moods now… Is Reshiram about to awaken? But this is just a dream.”

Hikaru couldn’t figure out what was happening, so he tried injecting some of his own power.

[The mood of the Light Stone has slightly improved.]

Hikaru: “?”

Unable to figure out what the stone was thinking, Hikaru placed the Light Stone down and, by imagining his backpack, pulled out some electrical devices and connected them to the Dark Stone. Immediately, a surge of electricity poured into the imaginary devices, causing the light bulbs installed on them to light up rapidly!

The Dream Workshop was illuminated by the lamps, and when Hikaru tested it with electrical instruments, he found the power provided by the Dark Stone was exceptionally stable!

“If it’s used as a power source, it’s really convenient. Compared to that, the fire source of the Light Stone is quite useless. After all, it can only be used in the forge, and I don’t seem to have anything to forge here in the Dream World.”

Hikaru muttered to himself.

The Light Stone trembled slightly again.

[The mood of the Light Stone has worsened.]

What a joke! Saying it was less useful than that black dragon? Fire is the primal driving force of civilization!

Even if there’s nothing to forge, couldn’t it at least be used for warmth?!

The will of the Light Stone was utterly displeased!

As its observation target and candidate for a hero, Hikaru had gone and praised the Dark Stone, which was simply a betrayal!

But Hikaru didn’t notice this. Instead, because of his contact with the Dark Stone, he discovered new information:

[The mood of the Dark Stone is very joyful.]

“Collected Dark Stone Powder…” Hikaru gathered the powder that had fallen on the ground during the polishing process. He remembered he should have collected the Light Stone’s powder last time, but he had forgotten due to the dream ending too quickly.

[Rare Material: Dark Stone Powder]

[Description: Powder obtained by grinding the Dark Stone. It can be regarded as Zekrom’s leftover energy.]

[Effect: Giving it to Dragon or Electric-type Pokémon can help them grow better and enhance the power of Dragon and Electric-type moves.]

[Acquired Craft: Powder Processing (B+) – Allows any special material to be processed into powder with unique effects. The powder can be incorporated into various tools, enhancing or altering their effects.]

As expected, this powder was valuable.

“Then, how about polishing the Light Stone now?” Hikaru muttered, but then the Light Stone made a cracking sound!

It seemed to be saying, “Hurry up!”

But unexpected events always happen ahead of time. Hikaru heard the sound of Pokémon calling outside the house—it was Turtwig’s voice—so he quickly rushed outside to find it.

The Light Stone: “…”

He… just left like that?! Wasn’t it attractive enough?

Fire lost to electricity? How could it be having such a dream? Wait, this is a dream!

—

Within the Dark Stone, Zekrom’s consciousness had fully awakened.

It was somewhat puzzled.

Its awakening should only occur when the hero of ideals appeared. Until then, its true body existed within Dragonspiral Tower in the real world, while its “body” in the Dream World was resting within the Ancient City, endlessly reliving the dream of destroying the Ancient City, locked in eternal combat with the imaginary Reshiram.

Reality and dreams are opposites.

During the ancient conflict, it had gained the upper hand slightly, and Reshiram’s real body resided within the Ancient City…

But not long ago, its consciousness had faintly stirred. A giant dragon it had never seen before had barged into the Ancient City, ignored its barrier of power, and pulled it from the Ancient City’s dream, bringing it to this strange wooden workshop.

After that, the creature left, and just now, that human entered the dream.

Was that human the hero of ideals?

Who? Was it the water dragon that kept picking things up, or the human right before its eyes?

The human’s skills were incredible. Its previously hazy consciousness had been fully awakened by his craftsmanship! Not only that, but its power and attribute energy had also grown, which was simply unbelievable!

Even during the ancient kingdom era, when its first master, one of the original twin princes, was alive, there was no way for its power to grow so quickly!

It was one of the most powerful Pokémon in the world! Making a legendary Pokémon at the peak of power grow even stronger was nearly impossible for ordinary humans! Precisely because they didn’t have such abilities, they couldn’t elevate ordinary Pokémon to the same power level as legendary Pokémon, which was why they sought the might of legendary Pokémon like itself to achieve their ideals!

But this human was different! His abilities were incredibly strange, and not only did he enhance Zekrom’s power, but even its output efficiency had improved!

Zekrom could clearly feel that if it returned to its original form now, the power of its Dragon and Electric-type moves would be entirely different from before. That was because the output efficiency had been modified!

Ohhhh! This was an unprecedentedly beautiful beginning!

Anger had dissipated, nightmares had subsided, power had grown, and energy had been enhanced!

And most importantly, Zekrom’s will swept through the surroundings, quickly noticing the presence of the Light Stone — Reshiram!

The Light Stone seemed to have arrived here earlier than itself. Although it was unclear what had happened, the polishing effect on that thing was clearly not as good as its own!

The will of the Dark Stone transmitted directly into the Light Stone.

Long time no see, Reshiram!

The Light Stone immediately released a feeling of disgust. The relationship between the Black and White Dragon was complex — sometimes friends, sometimes enemies; sometimes they helped each other, and sometimes they fought. But at least for now, within the Light Stone, Reshiram’s consciousness was flooded with a feeling of jealousy.

It was clearly the one polished first, yet the effect achieved by the Dark Stone was better. And it had poured so much energy into the growth of the workshop’s crops!

Was it true that new things were always more favored than old ones?

[Who is that human with such extraordinary skills?]

The Dark Stone asked, wanting to find out Hikaru’s identity. But the Light Stone, not wanting the Dark Stone to claim its “observation target,” chose to lie with a tone filled with annoyance and warning:

[He is the ‘True’ Hero!]

[Receiving his polishing allows you to break free from the shackles of the mind faster and accelerate the recovery of your body. But you’ve already gained the benefits, so don’t get any other ideas!]

The will of the Dark Stone was suddenly startled.

So that’s it, the True Hero had already appeared, but within a dream… Hmm! That made sense!

Dreams were false, and they corresponded to the truth of reality.

Therefore, the True Hero appearing in a dream was perfectly fine. The concept of opposites and reflections — after all, this was the essence of the Unova region’s legacy!

[I didn’t expect to be granted such great power by the True Hero. I feel somewhat ashamed.]

Thinking about the abilities it had gained from the polishing, perhaps the True Hero didn’t even realize its true identity. And as the Dragon of Ideals, receiving power from the True Hero made it feel somewhat off-balance!

After all, truth and ideals were destined to be in opposition. If it accepted the power of truth, how could it ever confront the other side? Moreover, if the True Hero had already been chosen by Reshiram…

The Dark Stone: [But… Are you sure he has no grand ideals of his own?]

Zekrom still wanted to make one last effort!

The Light Stone remained silent for a moment before Reshiram’s consciousness suddenly came up with a brilliant plan:

[If you admit that truth is more important than ideals, then perhaps he does have ideals of his own. Are you willing to accept that?]

[This…]

Now, it was Zekrom’s turn to fall into silence!
