Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 134 Cynthia's Invitation (Seeking monthly votes!)

The cold wind is biting.

From afar, you can see the majestic mountain that almost spans the entire Sinnoh region, Mt. Coronet!
Enveloped in misty white fog and snow.

High in the sky, two figures flew from Jiayuan City toward Shenhe Town.

The Pokémon Research Fellowship will be held in Shinwa Town, located halfway up Mt. Coronet, with the Shinwa Town Historical Research Institute serving as the venue.

Jinghe, who was lying on the back of the dragon, did not feel much cold.

Because Dragonite thoughtfully blocks the airflow outside itself.

This made Gastly very happy. It perched on Jinghe's back, looking left and right, showing great curiosity about Sinnoh, which it had never been before.

But Jinghe's expression didn't seem so natural.

His face was tense, his lips were pursed, and his complexion was slightly pale.

Cynthia, perched on Garchomp's back, noticed Jinghe's unusual behavior and, after a slight pause, asked:

"Are you afraid of heights?"

Jinghe turned her head to the side, shaking it stiffly and stubbornly.

He's not afraid of heights; he even kept looking down on the plane earlier.

"Well?"

Cynthia tilted her head slightly, looking puzzled.

Ghost, perched on Jinghe's back, let out a sinister laugh.

He patted Jinghe on the back, then stretched out a claw towards Xirona, and the claw shot out quickly.

"Kou Jie~~"

He was afraid of speed.

Last time I rode in Officer Jenny's car, we were going so fast that we barely had a chance to talk the whole way.

quick?
Cynthia gave Jing He a deep look, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Even she couldn't have imagined that a tactical master, a calculating person, and a Pokémon psychologist would be afraid of speed.

Even Garchomp grinned and laughed out loud.

"Roar~~(｀)σ"

He's not good enough.

Seeing Cynthia laughing uncontrollably, Jinghe glared at her.

Which man isn't afraid of speed?

Everyone's scared, okay!

Cynthia smiled slightly and teased:
"If you glare at me again, I'll make Dragonite use 'Extreme Speed'!"

"Ouch?"

Dragonite blinked twice.

Jing He's face immediately turned pale, and he looked like he was begging for mercy.

At the same time, he shakily took out a few Power Cubes from his pocket and stuffed them into Dragonite's mouth.

"Awoo~~(`)"

Dragonite really didn't expect that this could earn him some snacks.

Cynthia put her index finger to her lips, tilted her head slightly, looked at the hazy moon in the sky, and said playfully:
"Then I want to eat your cooking."

Aren't you taking advantage of someone's misfortune?
But Jinghe could only nod obediently.

It's hard to dismount from a dragon.

"Alright then," Cynthia said with a smile. "Dragonite, let's slow down."

As she spoke, she gently patted the Garchomp again.

"Roar~~"

Garchomp gave Jing He a disgruntled sideways glance.

Weak chicken.

Jinghe said he didn't care about Garchomp's "disdain".

Garchomp had better pray it doesn't catch any more Dragon-type Pokémon, otherwise... hmph.

I dance the "Dragon Dance" in front of you every day!
The two dragons gradually slowed down.

Jinghe also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Give him some time; he'll adapt eventually.

Although the speed has slowed down a bit, it is still a relatively fast pace to approach the town of Shenhe.

When the plane flew closer to Tianguan Mountain, tiny, sparkling snowflakes, like goose feathers, swirled and slowly drifted down from the sky.

Cynthia reached out and caught a piece, feeling its coolness on her hand. Her eyes lit up with surprise, and she exclaimed:

"Snowing!"

Jinghe also looked up.

Although Mount Tianguan is covered in snow all year round, and snow is constantly falling due to the wind, the snow always falls on the other side, and neither Shenhe Town nor their current location are within the range of the snow falling.

so.
It really did snow.

"Kou Jie~~"

Haunter, perched on Jinghe's back, slowly poked its head out of the area enveloped by Dragonite's aura.

With his mouth wide open, he immediately took a deep breath.

Then he smacked his lips.

"Kou Jie~~"

The taste does seem quite different from the snow brought by the skill.

Jinghe glanced at it.

He wasn't at all surprised that Gastly had tasted the snow created by Vulpix.

"arrive."

At that moment, Cynthia raised her hand and pointed.

Far away.

You can see tiny specks of light, like fireflies, in the mountains.

As it gets closer.

A small town perched on a flat area halfway up a mountain gradually came into view.

God and Town!
pat.

As her feet touched the ground again, Jinghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I gently patted Dragonite on the back to show my gratitude.

Then they pulled out a whole bunch of energy cubes.

"Ouch~~"

Dragonite was overjoyed and quickly took it.

Then it flew away happily.

Jinghe looked around.

Compared to Home City and Kanaz City, the town of Shinto is definitely not as prosperous.

However, the environment of Shinwa Town is closer to nature. Although the air is much colder than that of Kawana City, the freshness of the air is incomparable to that of Kanaz City.

However, a problem soon followed.

Where to stay?

If it were in the bustling City of Homestead, you could just find any place to stay, but does Godwood Town have a Pokémon Center?
What are you standing there for?

Shirona looked at Jing He, who was standing there in a daze, and waved to him.

"Uh"

Then Jinghe followed Xirona to a villa that was almost entirely made of wood.

Is this Cynthia's house?
Although I often visit in games, this is the first time I've seen it in real life.

Cynthia pushed open the door and entered.

The Poké Ball on her waist opened by itself.

Garchomp and Lucario stood on either side of the doorway, their eyes extremely solemn as they scrutinized Jing He.

At this time.

Cynthia, who had just prepared slippers for Jinghe, peeked out from inside the door and asked with a hint of doubt:
"Why don't you come in?"

Jinghe forced a smile and slowly walked to the door under the watchful eyes of Garchomp and Lucario.

As he passed by them, Jinghe grabbed two handfuls of crystal-clear energy cubes.

This is quite different from what they ate before; it was created by Jinghe by combining his own and Mikeli's experience in making energy cubes.

Everyone who has eaten it says it’s good.

"We're already so familiar with each other," Garchomp and Lucario exchanged a glance.

Subsequently.

The two proud men, with their necks stiffened, nodded simultaneously.

These slippers are absolutely adorable!
Jinghe looked at the pair of pink chubby slippers on the ground.

"Please make yourself at home."

Cynthia's voice came from inside.

Shaking his head, and under the watchful eyes of Garchomp and Lucario, he finally changed into these slippers and went inside.

After seeing that Cynthia's Pokémon were all outside, Jinghe also threw out a Poké Ball.

He summoned the Ice Six-Tailed Fox and the Little Blacksmith.

As for Haunter...
It's already watching TV shows with Garchomp.

"Chirp!"

The little blacksmith, seeing Lucario, was overjoyed and ran towards it with his little hammer.

The little Eevee's eyes lit up when it saw the Ice Vulpix, and it immediately pounced on it.

"Buyi~~"

"Ooh~~"

Soon the room was filled with the sounds of two little ones playing happily.

Jinghe sat down on the sofa.

Only then did they begin to observe the house.

Cynthia's house is quite spacious, with a wooden structure throughout, including wooden tables, coffee tables, and wardrobes. The walls are decorated with simple drawings or stickers, creating a cozy atmosphere.

"Sizzle."

Huayan Guai rolled up a cup of boiling water and handed it to Jinghe.

Jing He smiled, looking away, and said:
"Thank you."

"Hiss, hiss crack. o(*////▽////*)q"

Roserade then came over and gracefully plucked a few light purple petals from her left hand and put them into the water.

Jing He: "."

Watching it swirl in the hot water and gradually sink to the bottom, eventually turning the water a light purple color.

scented tea?

But the problem is
Roserade's flowers on both hands are poisonous!

The only difference is that the safflower on the right hand is a highly potent poison with a rapid effect, while the violet flower on the left hand is a chronic poison with a relatively slower effect.

Jinghe glanced at the Flower Rock Monster, which looked shy and embarrassed.

In Jinghe's memory, Roserade was a Pokémon that, like Lucario, was relatively quiet.

Lucario is just trying to look cool, so it doesn't talk much, while Roserade is shy and therefore doesn't talk much either.

Therefore, Jinghe saw a hint of expectation on Roseredo's face.

Jinghe slowly picked up the teacup.

Roseredo's eyes shone with even stronger hope.

goo-dong-

He swallowed hard.

So, will I die?
On second thought, hadn't he been poisoned by Gastly enough?
Moreover, he always carries "peach fruit" and "antidote" in his bag.

Shouldn't be a problem.

With that thought in mind, Jinghe picked up her teacup and took a sip.

A hint of sweetness mingled with the fragrance of flower petals, and a touch of bitterness lingered in the air.

His eyes lit up.

The taste was surprisingly good.

He immediately said to Roseradore:
"Delicious."

He smiled and patted its head.

"Rossi?" Roseradore also showed some surprise.

It has brewed flower tea for many people, but no one has actually tasted it. It once thought that its flower tea was not good, but Jinghe's feedback made it regain its confidence.

He immediately turned around to prepare another cup of safflower tea.

Seeing this, Jinghe quickly said:

"Roseredo, that's enough, one cup is enough, you can have something else next time."

As she spoke, she skillfully took a peach out of her bag and took a bite.

"Rossi~~"

Roserade nodded, not insisting, her joy evident.

Jinghe nodded to herself as she savored the sweetness of the "peach fruit".

well.

Milotic, Rockruff, and Roserade—I've already defeated three of them, so I'm getting safer.

"It seems you two are having a good chat."

At that moment, Cynthia, wearing an apron, peeked out from the kitchen and laughed.

"What are you"

Cynthia can cook?
Long live!
"Want some late-night snack?" Cynthia asked.

"eat!"

Jinghe waved his hand.

What a joke! Why wouldn't you eat something that's free?

Upon hearing this, Cynthia smiled slightly and turned back to the kitchen.

however.

When they saw Cynthia peek out from the kitchen, Garchomp, Lucario, Roserade, Eevee, and the other Pokémon all jumped in shock, their expressions filled with horror.

Oh no, oh no, oh no—

Before I knew it, the little cabbage had quietly slipped into the kitchen!

How to do? !

Will my home be gone?

There's no iron left!

呲——

Soon, a plume of black smoke billowed out of the kitchen.

"What kind of high-end dish is this? Why is it making such a racket?"

Sitting on the sofa, Jing He muttered to herself with interest and a hint of anticipation.

But soon.

He realized something was wrong.

Why are Garchomp sweating in the middle of winter?
!!!

Jing He suddenly shuddered.

He immediately got up and rushed to the kitchen.

I'm so stupid, really, all I knew was how to get free late-night snacks.
hiss--

Exclamations and the sound of water extinguishing the fire rang out from the kitchen.

Two minutes later.

With her face smeared with soot, Cynthia stood obediently in the kitchen doorway. Jing He expressionlessly stuck a piece of paper on the kitchen door—

Haunter and Cynthia are not allowed inside!

"Ghostly?! Σ(дlll)"

After doing all that, Jinghe looked at Cynthia, who was still holding a shovel, and took a deep breath.

"you"

stare!
Before he could even speak, he felt the gazes of Garchomp and Lucario.

Jing He's expression stiffened slightly. He snatched the shovel, his tone fierce but his voice weak, and continued:
"Go take a shower first!"

"Oh"

In a broken world.

Ok?
A huge head slowly rose, a hint of doubt flashing in its scarlet eyes.

Why does it feel like this time it's getting a little closer?
