Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 13 Poisoning
"Hey, hey-cha. Hey-cha"

Geodude was panting heavily, and when it looked at Jinghe and Gastly, it looked like it was looking at two smiling devils!

devil!

They are devils!

Despite being called a battle, Geodude didn't manage to touch Gastly even once from start to finish!
Its attacks seemed to have no effect on Gastly. Although Gastly didn't attack it much, each of Gastly's moves was more painful for it than a direct attack.

more importantly.

It can't run away even if it wants to!
Not to mention that Gastly is much faster, every time the thought of escaping arises in its mind, it inexplicably trembles and becomes unable to move.

Think about what it just went through?
Paralysis, confusion, hypnosis, shrinking back, burning.
Whenever it manages to escape one negative effect, it is immediately subjected to another, and before it even finishes a round of attacks, its stamina is always being drained away by inexplicable pain.
Is this a battle?
Isn't this just pure self-inflicted torture?
Geodude shudders at the mere thought of his battle with Gastly.

Furthermore, Gastly's eerie laughter, and especially its tendency to inexplicably appear behind Geodude.
And that human named Jing He is even more terrifying!
Despite his frail appearance and lack of any redeeming qualities beyond his good looks, one of his words was deeply etched into Little Geomancer's heart: "Heal him, and then we'll have another fight."

Is this something a normal living being could say?

Little Geodude felt as if his young heart had been struck a violent blow.

In comparison, it felt that Metallica was much "gentler," and Cuckoo was definitely the best trainer in the world!
Seeing Geodude's pleading expression, Jinghe reached out to stop Gastly.

"That's enough, don't be so cruel, Gastly."

"Kou Jie~~"

Gastly let out a sullen cry.

Cruel? Me?

"He accepted it much faster than I expected." Jing He said to herself, rubbing her chin, without looking at Gastly's gaze.

to be frank.

The outcome of Gastly's battle with Geodude was exactly as he had predicted.

The main reason is that Gastly is really too effective against Geodude.

Cuckoo's Geodude does have great potential, having inherited the move "Mega Punch," but the problem is that this move is a Normal-type move.

Normal-type moves cannot hit Gastly, a Ghost-type Pokémon, without the assistance of moves like "Detect" or "Scent Detection".

At least, this little fist stone couldn't do that.

Not only "Million-Ton Punch", Geodude also used the move "Tackle" twice, which is also a Normal-type move and cannot be effective against Ghost-type Pokémon.

Also.

Geodude is a Rock/Ground type Pokémon, but Gastly's ability is "Levitate".

Pokémon with the "levitation" ability can ignore most Ground-type moves unless they fall to the ground on their own or are affected by moves like "gravity".

In summary.

that is.

Of all the moves Geodude knows, only Rock-type moves can damage Gastly.

In addition, the biggest characteristic of Pokémon like Geodude is that they have strong physical defense but slow speed.

And what about Gastly?

Its advantages are special attack and speed.

Completely defeated!

Unless Jinghe and Gastly do something foolish, and Geodude's strength level isn't too far ahead of Gastly's, there's no way it can win.

This is also why Jinghe chose to come herself instead of having Daigo and MetalGreymon come.

Gastly's first battle needs to build up enough confidence for him.

However, it seems that we've built up our confidence a bit too much, but it's not a big problem.

"Groundhog?"

Seeing that it was finally over, Du Juan jogged into the battlefield and tentatively called out.

"Hey cha!"

Finally, it was no longer Jinghe's calm command and Gastly's strange laughter. Geodude felt that Azalea's voice was so heavenly, and immediately ran to her side, sticking close to her, looking like she wanted comfort.

Only after losing something do you understand what is most precious.

Du Juan was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.

Is this still her little fist stone with eyes that are practically reaching the sky?
At Jinghe's prompting, Dujuan quickly tried to comfort her.

Predictably, after today, Geodude should be much more well-behaved.

Although he may still be arrogant, at least he won't become like Shi Aotian.

Daigo also brought MetalGreymon to the field, his expression and demeanor were very complicated.

On the one hand, I didn't expect that Dujuan's little fist-sized stone would actually become so well-behaved.

On the other hand, it's because of Jinghe's treatment methods and his combat abilities.

Previously, when Daigo learned that Jinghe also had Pokémon, he curiously asked him if he would battle with him.

Jinghe's answer at the time was—What is a battle? I don't know.

But now it seems.
The timing of their moves, the connection and combination of their moves—they don't seem like people who don't know how to fight.

Especially Gastly's moves, they are just... just...
The metal monster rubbed its eyes twice.

I feel like something got into my eye.

Before Daigo and MetalGreymon could speak, Jinghe, observing Geodude's condition, muttered to himself thoughtfully:
"Hmm, it seems that in certain situations, 'physical intervention' can be simpler and more effective than 'psychological intervention'."

"Ku!"

The metal monster's expression froze.

He looked at Daigo with a pleading expression.

Does it also have a "physical intervention" treatment?

Daigo's eye twitched slightly.

Physical intervention? He felt that the psychological trauma suffered by Little Stone was more severe.

But regardless of the process, they had to admit that the result was good.

This can be seen from the little fist stone that is clinging to the cuckoo and refusing to leave.

Daigo took a deep breath.

"Teacher Jinghe, is it over?"

“It’s over.” Jing He nodded. “I was thinking that if Geodude was tough enough, Gastly would get tired and then you and Metalmax could take over.”

Daiwu: "."

Is it because Geodude isn't resilient?

Normal Pokémon should be unable to withstand the first healing awakening, right?
Little Geodude managed to withstand two rounds.

In Daigo's view, this already demonstrates a resolute will.

Geodude's characteristic is "hard head," but it's not that it's headless.

He was actually a little worried that Little Geodude's confidence might be completely crushed.

"Thank you, teacher!"

At this moment, the cuckoo, having calmed the little fist stone, brought it to Jinghe to express its gratitude.

"Hey, hey-cha."

Little Geodude, having lost his previous arrogant disdain, hid beside Azalea and called out shyly.

"Kou Jie——"

Gastly let out a strange laugh, and the black mist waved like a hand.

However, its laughter made the little geodeer tremble slightly.

Jinghe squatted down and said to Geodude, "Listen to your trainer. You are not without a chance to defeat Gastly."

"Hey cha?"

Upon hearing this, Little Stone paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Azalea.

Du Juan, having already received Jing He's instructions, nodded solemnly.

"Hey cha!"

Light returned to Geodude's eyes.

Seeing this, Jing He smiled slightly.

A slight light also appeared in Daigo's eyes.

Clearly, he was overthinking it.

His gaze toward Jing He now held a greater degree of approval.

"Hehehe~~"

Am I awesome?

()

Daigo and Dujuan went to class, while Jinghe took Gastly back to the counseling room.

Gastly seemed particularly excited on the way.

This was its first battle, and the result was obvious: it easily defeated its opponent.

Furthermore, this is also an affirmation of Gastly's training results over this period, which is a good thing for both Gastly and Jinghe.

Don't be too proud.

Jinghe smiled and made herself a cup of coffee.

He saw more than Gastly saw, including Gastly's strengths and advantages, as well as its many shortcomings.

These shortcomings will be their main focus for future training.

Real-world practice is one of the most effective ways to test training results.

"Geosphere wouldn't have won so easily if it had listened to its trainer."

At appropriate times, Jinghe should also give this little guy a nudge, lest it become too arrogant.

Gastly, however, disagreed.

"Kou Jie——"

It's as if it has no trainers.

Seeing Jing He diligently making coffee, Gastly's eyes flashed with cunning, and it chuckled softly before slowly disappearing.

Jinghe turned around after finishing her coffee run.

"Kou Jie!"

Suddenly, Gastly appeared, making a face and licking him with its long tongue.

Sneak attack!

Jing He's expression froze.

He was about to reach out and wipe the drool off his face, but halfway through the movement, his raised hand stopped in mid-air.

A bluish tinge appeared on his face.

"This time, it's real poisoning."

"Kou Jie?!"

Moreover, it's not just any ordinary poison.

Inside the consultation room, Gastly's panicked voice could be heard.

I might be planning to increase the update frequency, please continue reading!
