Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 113 When the Sun Sets (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"I'm going back to Sinnoh tonight."

"After finishing the ice cream," Cynthia said.

"Shall we go for a stroll?"

Jinghe asked with a smile.

“Okay.” Cynthia smiled faintly.

Then she looked longingly at the huge Howling Whale doll shop next door.

Having already gained some understanding of Cynthia's temperament, Jing He's eyes twitched slightly. Without further ado, she stood up and said:
"Let's go, we've come all this way to Liuli City, let's buy some souvenirs to take back."

The two entered the toy store.

Perhaps because of the exhibition match, there weren't many people in the store, making it seem rather deserted.

Although this store is called "Whale Toy Store", it doesn't actually only sell Whale toys. It also sells many other toys such as Magikarp, Gyarados, Jigglypuff, and so on.

Cynthia, who usually appears somewhat aloof and elegant, immediately reveals her true nature as a little girl after entering a doll shop.

One moment she was rubbing her face against a Gible plush toy, the next she was pouting like a Jigglypuff plush toy, and then she was hugging a Pikachu plush toy with obvious affection.

“I think this one suits you better,” Jing He said mysteriously, her hands behind her back.

"Well?"

Under Cynthia's puzzled, curious, and somewhat expectant gaze, Jinghe smiled and took out the doll from behind her.

"Deng Deng!"

It's a mysterious Q-style doll!

Cynthia was startled, glared at him irritably, and jogged to the other shelf.

Ok?
Jinghe looked at the Mimi Q doll in her hand.

Isn't it quite pretty?
So cute.

However, Cynthia ran away, but a Poké Ball on her waist suddenly opened.

A flash of red light appeared, and a ferocious Garchomp suddenly appeared, looking down at Jing He with a cold stare.

"You like it?"

Feeling the sickle less than five centimeters from his head, Jing He's forehead beaded with sweat as he tentatively asked.

Chi-

Garchomp exhaled two puffs of white breath from its nose, grabbed the Mimikyu plushie, and then burrowed back into its Poké Ball.

Jinghe wiped away her sweat, looked at Gastly beside her, and asked in her eyes.

Does it like it?
Gastly chuckled mischievously twice, then suddenly tilted its head as if about to fall off, and its body transformed into the shape of Mimikyu.

"Kou Jie~~"

Like it?
Jinghe smacked her lips and, under Gastly's expectant gaze, uttered two words.

"So ugly."

"Kouji~~(TдT)"

At this point, the staff at the counter couldn't help but remind them:

"Sir, even if you put it in a Poké Ball, you still have to pay. We have surveillance cameras."

Jing He sighed and replied:
"OK".

At last.

Jinghe bought Gastly a foam squirrel plush toy that it loved.

I bought a Dodo Ice doll for Ice Sixtail, and the little guy curled it up with his tail, seemingly really liking it.

And the little blacksmith.

So I simply bought it a Corviknight plush toy that few people care about, so that it could learn what Corviknight is and what other Flying-type Pokémon are.

Little did they know that the young blacksmith would immediately prepare to strike with a hammer.

Fortunately, the doll wasn't a real Corviknight, and it didn't drop any "equipment".

However, the young blacksmith still quite liked it.

As for Cynthia, besides the Mimikyu plushie that Garchomp "embezzled," she also chose two other plushies: one was Togepi, and the other was a Slowpoke plushie with its butt sticking out.

After paying, the two walked out of the toy store, and Cynthia handed the Slowpoke toy to Jinghe.

"Here, it's for you."

Under Jing He's questioning gaze, she smiled like an innocent little girl, and explained:
"I think it suits you very well, it's so similar to you."

After saying that, he quickly ran away with the Ice Vulpix and the little blacksmith.

Jinghe stared blankly at the Slowpoke doll, while the Slowpoke doll stared back at her in a daze.

?

picture?
How are they similar?
Jinghe cast a pleading look at Gastly beside her.

But then Gastly rubbed his chin, shook his head slightly, and commented with an air of importance:

"Kuha~ Kuha~~"

It's not that they look alike, it's that they're exactly the same!
After saying that, Gastly immediately chased after Cynthia and the others.

Jing He: "."

He glanced at the Slowpoke doll again, then immediately turned away.

I feel like my IQ would explode if I looked at it any longer.

The two then boarded a small boat with a unique style characteristic of Ruri City.

Enjoy the leisurely rocking of the small boat and appreciate the unique cultural style of Liuli City.

"Sir boatman, does Liuli City have any other unique sights?"

Jinghe asked.

"Yes, there are many, but if you really want to know, you can go and see the 'Eternal Tree' in our Liuli City."

The boatman rowing the oars was clearly very familiar with Liuli City.

He continued with a smile, "It symbolizes 'eternity,' whether it's between trainers and Pokémon, or between people."

"Many wild Pokémon in our Sootopolis City like to roam around there, and if you're lucky, you might even see Luvdisc."

The Tree of Eternity?

Upon hearing this word, Jinghe suddenly remembered.

Beneath that large tree in the center of Liuli City, it seems that the unique "Eternal Flower" is sleeping.
That is, three thousand years ago, King Az of Kalos resurrected his Pokémon "Eternal Flower" Flori, which was supposed to die in the war, using the "Ultimate Weapon".

Ever since.

On the boatman's advice, the two arrived at the central island of Liuli City.

On the island, there is an extremely thick and lush tree whose leaves remain green even in autumn.

There were still few people on the island, so Cynthia summoned all her Pokémon.

Garchomp, Lucario, Eevee, Milotic, Roserade, and Spiritora.
Fortunately, Haunter and Vulpix have already become familiar with them.

The young blacksmith was still rather naive and fearless, and he didn't care about the ferocious Garchomp.

Moreover, the little blacksmith's attention wasn't on that. After arriving on the island, he took his hammer, which served as both a weapon and an "explorer," and began searching for ores using the faint magnetism on it.

They looked exactly like they were on a treasure hunt.

As they walked, the little guy immediately felt a strong magnetic force, and his eyes lit up with excitement.

But as he walked, what appeared before the young blacksmith was a pitch-black claw covered in nails.

"Chirp?"

The young blacksmith looked up in confusion.

It turned out to be Lucario's claw!

The young blacksmith was quite bold; he asked directly:

"Chirp?" (Can I take it off?)
"Luka?"

Lucario blinked, clearly not expecting the little blacksmith to ask such a question.

Can't help but laugh.

"Luka." (Why don't you give it a try?)
The young blacksmith nodded emphatically with a serious expression and immediately began to swing his hammer.

When Lucario felt the power from the little blacksmith's hammer, its expression changed slightly, but it still didn't make any move, only slowly clenching its fist.

Boom! !

"chirp"

The young blacksmith, whose body was slightly numb from the rebounding force, let out a trembling voice.

Lucario's fist remained completely still.

However, Lucario also showed a somewhat serious expression.

The little blacksmith's strength truly surprised it.

Immediately afterwards, it nimbly flipped over and jumped up.

As its hands came together and slowly opened outwards from the center, a deep blue bone club appeared in its hands.

With a whooshing sound, the bone club flew through Lucario's hands before finally being placed behind it.

It looked at the young blacksmith.

"Luk-ka." (That's not how you use a weapon.)

The little blacksmith's eyes blinked, sparkling with admiration, thinking how cool Lucario's action of summoning the bone club was.

"Chu!" (So handsome!)

Lucario's cheeks flushed slightly as he turned his head and coughed lightly.

"Luk-ka!" (I'll teach you, watch carefully!)
Having said that, Lucario immediately began to demonstrate with all his might.

The young blacksmith watched intently.

Although their weapons are not quite the same, they share some commonalities.

For example, when Lucario swings his club to its fullest extent and slams it down to the ground, it's similar to the action of the Little Blacksmith swinging his hammer.

Gradually, the young blacksmith also started swinging his hammer.

Don't say it.

Before long, the young blacksmith was actually doing a pretty good job.

This made Lucario very happy.

The young blacksmith took a breath and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Chirp!" (Wow, that's amazing!)

Lucario suddenly felt that the corner of his mouth was harder to suppress than an AK, and could only cough lightly again.

"Luke!" (Watch this move!)

hum-

A light blue aura suddenly appeared on Lucario's body, eventually converging at the tip of his bone club. As he swung the club, he felt a wisp of blue light following closely behind.

Upon seeing this, the young blacksmith immediately began to learn.

It doesn't possess any waveguide power, but that doesn't prevent it from being replaced by an "ice hammer".

"Luka?"

Lucario, as he danced, looked puzzled, a mixture of confusion and surprise on his face.

illusion?

Jinghe and Xilona sat on the shore of the small island.

The setting sun cast a thin veil over their faces, and the lake appeared so tranquil and peaceful, as if all their worries and anxieties had been soothed away in that moment.

Milotic swam silently across the lake in front of them, followed by a large group of various water-type Pokémon.

"How about we take a picture to remember this moment?" Cynthia asked softly.

"it is good!"

There are quite a few public cameras like these at well-known tourist attractions; you can use them simply by inserting coins.

The two summoned their Pokémon.

Bathed in the beautiful sunset, everyone struck their own poses under the "Tree of Eternity".

"Be prepared"

Jinghe adjusted the camera position and set the timer for shooting.

"Countdown, 5"

As he spoke, he ran toward Cynthia and the group of Pokémon.

A gentle breeze swept by, rippling the lake's surface and rustling the leaves, with a faint, lovely sound drifting through the air.

"4"

The two little guys, Vulpix and Eevee, stood face to face in the middle.

Gastly, grinning wildly, and Garchomp, with a menacing look on its face, are arm in arm, both embracing a bubble squirrel plush toy.

Lucario, with its arms wrapped around itself, looked utterly helpless, because a little blacksmith was perched on its head.

"3"

The Flower Rock Monster huddled at Jing He's feet, while Roserade stood beside Cynthia holding a bouquet of flowers.

"2"

As Jinghe ran back, the mischievous Cynthia, to his astonishment, took out the Slowpoke doll and placed it on his head.

"1"

Milotic leaped from the lake behind them, tracing a brilliant arc in the afterglow of the setting sun, followed by Poliwag, Starfish, Cherryfish, and Heartfish.
Everyone and the Pokémon smiled.

This moment was frozen in time.
