Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 104 The Thirty-Year River Still Has Twenty-Nine Years Left, So It's Alright (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

In fact, Jinghe had been thinking about something.

In the game, a Pokémon can only carry one item, but is there such a rule in the real Pokémon world?

He hadn't really done much research on it.

If there are really no restrictions.
He has a bold idea.

Other Pokémon at least "carry" their held items, so you can forget about a Shemira with "Focus Sash" wrapped around it. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was twelve "Focus Sashes" carrying one Shemira.

But Haunter possesses a different dimension; with eight "Shell Bells" and twelve "leftovers," is there a chance?
Even if all else fails, stuffing yourself full of pomelos is fine too.

However, when he saw the dojo staff informing the first challenger about the precautions to take when bringing his equipment, he understood.

In the Pokémon world, the rules for official battles are quite strict.

The above situations are also strictly prohibited.

Otherwise, the gap between trainers with money and those without would be too big.

Of course, it's hard to say about unconventional matches, such as open field battles.

For example, what about a certain alpaca, wearing twelve stone tablets, riding a Latina head to rebel?

"Please welcome our next challenger, Sanae from Green Town!"

At the same time, the gym leader also appeared.

Ok?
Azalea?

When Jinghe saw that it was Dujuan who appeared, he was clearly stunned for a moment.

In the Pokémon world, most gyms are actually run by sons who inherit their fathers' businesses, or by disciples who pass on their skills from their teachers.

Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, Wallace, the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City, passed the Gym to his master Adam after becoming the Champion of the Hoenn region. This is a rare case of a disciple passing on his teachings to his master.

and so.

Is Du Juan temporarily taking over as the head of the dojo during her vacation?
Sure enough, the referee's brief introduction, in which Du Juan was referred to as "acting curator," confirmed this.

This made Jinghe hesitate.

After all, it's the teacher challenging the student.

If we lose, the teacher will lose face.

Winning is not only taken for granted, but if the student is strong, they may also be suspected of throwing the game.

But upon further reflection, Jinghe felt relieved.

He's a Pokémon psychology instructor, not a battle-type instructor.

Besides, he's here to give Gastly and the others battle experience; the outcome isn't that important.

"Rumblestone, stomp again!!"

boom! !

On the field, Cuckoo's Gravestone slammed into the ground, accompanied by a violent tremor, and the opponent's Pokémon was immediately unable to battle.

"The owner of the Azalea Pavilion is so powerful."

"It's said that the Azalea Pavilion Master could have taken over the position long ago, but he had to finish his studies first."

"The owner of this Rock Rhododendron has only tamed and trained it for a short time, right? Is it already this strong?"

There were clearly many Du Juan supporters in the audience.

Jinghe also recognized that rumbling stone.

Isn't that the same "Shi Aotian" from back then?

After being "taught a lesson" by Gastly back then, it is now much more obedient.

Although they still looked down on everyone, they at least obeyed Du Juan's commands very well, and their teamwork seemed to be quite good.

"I'm finally starting to understand why Denji was so against gym battles."

After watching the first performance, Jinghe couldn't help but murmur to herself.

Dujuan's rumbler completed a three-in-a-row with almost no difficulty!

Moreover, Du Juan had to kindly explain the shortcomings of the defeated challengers and offer them comfort.

"Do you know Denji?"

Cynthia, who was resting her chin on her hand, seemed a little surprised.

"We've met once," Jing He nodded.

He then added, "By the way, I might need to ask you for a favor when you get back to Sinnoh."

With Cynthia, the problem with the electric attack might be solved.

"it is good"

"Please welcome the next challenger, Jing He, a psychology instructor from the Koro1 Pokémon Academy!"

At the referee's signal, Jing He had already moved to the challenger's side of the field.

However, many audience members couldn't help but start discussing it.

"The teacher at the Razor Academy? Isn't that the Cuckoo Gym Leader's teacher? But she looks so young. She doesn't seem to be much older than the Cuckoo Gym Leader."

"Didn't you hear me? A Pokémon psychology teacher who isn't a battle-oriented teacher shouldn't be very good at battles, right?"

"Wait, Jing He? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before?"

"."

"Teacher Jinghe."

Du Juan, standing on the opposite side of the field, bowed slightly to Jing He, her pretty face tense and her expression very serious.

She had no idea of ​​Teacher Jinghe's abilities.

To be honest, Jinghe, who had mentally prepared herself, was now feeling somewhat uneasy.

It's not a good thing for a teacher to hit a student.

Moreover, he didn't know much about Cuckoo's strength either, but since she could act as the Gym Leader, she must have the old Gym Leader's Pokémon in charge, right?

"Ghost, be careful later," Jing He whispered.

"Kou Jie~~"

Gastly's voice and eerie laughter came from the shadows.

Don't worry, I feel incredibly strong right now!

The referee briefly explained the rules: the Corsair Gym is a 3v3 round-robin battle, and the battle ends only when all three Pokémon on one side are completely unable to battle.

"Please both sides summon your Pokémon!"

“Go, Gastly,” Jing He said calmly.

Gastly immediately emerged from his shadow, shrouded in black mist, a sinister grin on his face.

"Ugh! (▼⊿▼)"

"Rumblestone?"

On the other side, Du Juan looked at the rumbling stone beside her and noticed that its expression was somewhat unnatural and its face was slightly pale.

It recognized Gastly as the very Gastly that had "educated" it back then—a past it found unbearable to recall. But soon, Graveler took two deep breaths, and its expression gradually became serious.

It also remembered that Jinghe had said that as long as it and Dujuan cooperated well, they had a chance to defeat Gastly!

Suddenly, my confidence seemed to return!
"rumble!"

"very good!"

Du Juan's face lit up with joy, and she waved her arm, "Let's go, Rumblestone!"

Let Teacher Jinghe see our progress!
Graveler is a Rock/Ground type Pokémon and the evolved form of Geodude.

"Hehe~~" Gastly clearly recognized Graveler, greeted it with a smile, and took off its sunglasses.

Hey! Sassibuli, Little Stone.

But Rumblestone kept a straight face and let out a deep call.

"rumble--"

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a stone's poverty!
Great, it seems there's no "Gastyl aftereffect".

Jinghe was quite satisfied with the result.

After all, this was the first Pokémon he had "cured" since he came into this world, and he didn't want to cure one of the Pokémon's psychological problems only to cause it to develop another.

However, Gravestone's attributes, Special Defense, and Speed ​​are...
The referee's whistle blew:
"The battle begins!"

"Rumblestone, dig a hole!"

In the battlefield, rubble flew everywhere, and stones disappeared underground, leaving behind jagged, rocky marks.

Jing He was slightly taken aback.

The Ground-type move "Dig" is ineffective against Gastly, which has the "Levitate" ability, and Cuckoo couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

So, is it to avoid a direct confrontation with Gastly first?

He then gave the order:
"Ghostly, trick, watch out underground."

"Kou Jie~~"

A dark glint appeared in Gastly's eyes, and the already cunning and treacherous creature now seemed to be turning into a "slippery devil".

Seeing Gastly standing still and successfully carrying out its "trick," Dujuan felt a slight tightness in her heart. She knew that delaying would be disadvantageous for her.

If Gastly uses its "Naughty Tricks" a few more times, then even her father's Pokémon will be easily defeated!
"Rumblestone, now's the time, roll!"

The ground shattered with a loud crash, and Gravestone burst forth from beneath Gastly, its arms outstretched and its body spinning at high speed as it hurtled straight at Gastly.

Is the follow-up move to "Dig" changed to "Roll" in order to get closer to Gastly?

The Rock-type move "Rollover" has a base power of only 30, but its power increases exponentially as the roll continues!

In other words, the initial power is 30, but it will quickly become 60, 120, 240 and even reach an astonishing 480!

If you add a "rounding" move before executing it, the power of the move will double, eventually reaching a terrifying 960!

That's absolutely incredible.

The only drawback of this move, besides the inability to switch to other moves during its use, is that its accuracy is slightly low.

However, the high-speed rolling also effectively compensates for the Gravestone's lack of speed.

Jinghe still remembers how much trouble the "Rolling" Milk Tank in Gold City caused him when he was playing Gold/Silver.

Not only can it roll, but it can also heal itself; it's practically a bug.

Jinghe squinted.

No matter how strong the "rolling" is, the rotation speed still needs to be high enough.

The initial "roll" was within Gastly's tolerance range in terms of both speed and power.

"Shadow ball!"

"Kou Jie!"

A glint flashed in Gastly's eyes, and a perfectly round black ball appeared on its raised claw, which it hurled at the Rumbler that was coming from below.

boom! !

A dense burst of ghost-type energy erupted.

"rumble--"

Longlongshi fell to the ground, his face contorted in pain, his eyes filled with confusion.

This was the first time it had encountered a situation where "scrolling" was forcibly interrupted.

And what's causing the excruciating pain in my body?

Is there really a chance to win?
Du Juan was also somewhat stunned.

Teacher Jinghe's Haunter seems to be much stronger than it was during the "Tower Climbing Competition".

There was an uproar in the audience.

"Is that the 'Rolling' that just wiped out those three Pokémon?"

"You should ask, is this some kind of Pokémon psychology instructor?"

"Is this reasonable?"

Corner of the auditorium.

"You've made really fast progress," Karuno exclaimed.

Cynthia smiled slightly.

"When a trainer and a Pokémon are of one mind, the speed of progress is unimaginable."

She had seen Gastly eat a Shadow Ball by itself.

This was the first time she had ever seen learning through "tasting".

Jing He, however, was not surprised.

Make sense.

Given Graveler's special defense, it's surprising that Gastly, with its "Curse Symbol" and "Nasty Plot," could withstand it.

"Ghostly, lick."

Gastly quickly appeared beside Gravestone on the ground and gently licked it with its tongue.

"Kou Jie~~"

There are still more than 29 years left out of 30. You can do it, Xiao Shi.

I don't know if it was because its stamina was depleted, or because of what Gastly said.

Longlongshi's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Gronpstone, incapacitated!"

The referee at the dojo was very professional; even though he looked somewhat surprised, he still reported the situation truthfully.

"口桀~~ヾ(▼▼;)"

Calm down, next one.
