Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 146: Claiming the Assessment Rewards (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
【Jingzhongzhihe】: First of all, where did you tame it?

【Dragon's Messenger】: Johto region, Lake of Rage.

Lake of Rage
That must be the Gyarados that Jinghe remembered.

and many more.

Jinghe remembered that, besides Adu, Xiaoyin also had a red Gyarados? And it was also caught at the Lake of Rage?
For a moment, he was a little confused by the timeline of this world.

But it seems I've gotten somewhat used to it.

to be frank.

Even if Red and that idiot stand in front of him together, he probably won't find it strange.

[Jingzhongzhihe]: So, you want me to try and see if I can calm it down?
【Dragon Messenger】: Yes.

【Jingzhongzhihe】：?

【Dragon's Messenger】: ? (Slowpoke with a question mark face.jpg)

【Jingzhongzhihe】: (Gengar covering face.jpg) In your style, wouldn't you have already flown over here?

He's so hesitant and indecisive; he's nothing like the decisive and efficient A-Du.

[Dragon's Messenger]: Uh, I forgot to mention, this red Gyarados can't be contained in a Poké Ball.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: Can't be contained?
In Jinghe's mind, it was normal for ordinary red and white balls to not be able to contain some particularly powerful Pokémon, but with Adu's wealth, couldn't he just use a Deluxe Ball?

【Dragon's Messenger】: Although it cannot break free of the Poké Ball, it will harm itself inside the Poké Ball due to its berserk state.
Upon hearing this, Jinghe suddenly understood.

It turns out she can self-harm.

【景中之禾】: So you mean...?
[Dragon Messenger]: I might need to trouble you to make a trip to the capital.

Jodo
[Dragon's Messenger]: I know you may have other things to do, so don't worry, I will stay in Johto for a while to investigate the Lake of Rage.

[Jingzhongzhihe]: That Gyarados
[Dragon Messenger]: I plan to place it in the "Dragon's Cave" first, and then investigate the reasons.

The "Dragon's Den" of the Imperial Dragon Clan.

That Gyarados will probably experience some "pain relief".

Fine.

Since A-du has said so, it seems necessary to make a trip to the capital.

However, the specific timeline is yet to be determined.
After the school's mentor assessment is completed, there will be a mentor mobilization meeting, during which some adjustments will be made to the teaching tasks for the second half of the semester.

Once things have completely settled down, we'll see if there's a chance to go to Tokyo.

Actually, Jinghe had another idea in mind.

He leaned back in his chair, gazing up at the vast night sky and the bright moon.

"Perhaps I should go out for a walk."

The Pokémon world is so big, he can't stay in the Rustboro Pokémon Academy or Hoenn forever.

There will always be a time when you need to go out and see the world, meet some interesting people or Pokémon, and leave more traces of yourself and your Pokémon.
The following day, Sunday morning.

Jinghe returned to the academy.

It should have been the last day of the mentor assessment, a day of intense competition, but the school wasn't as lively as usual.

Because the content of the final round of assessments was already drawn yesterday.

6V6 All-Player Battle Mode!

This is more embarrassing.

The fact that Jinghe currently only has three Pokémon is hardly a secret throughout the school or even online.

Then I was drawn to play the 6v6 all-player mode.
If it's a 6-choose-4 doubles mode, and Jinghe lets one of his Pokémon win, there might still be a chance for them to battle.

However, in a 6v6 format, with three Pokémon, the difference in skill level is a bit too great.

It was precisely because of this possibility that, after yesterday's assessment, the director of the Academic Affairs Office drew lots to determine the final assessment format in front of all the audience.

The results of the draw were a huge disappointment to many.

However, in any case, the fairness of the Rustboro Pokémon Academy has been demonstrated.

Jing He naturally didn't comment on this.

Because Minjiang, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, had already called him after the lottery yesterday.

Minjiang said that although the final assessment could not be compared due to the format, Jinghe's ability was highly recognized by the school leaders, who decided to give him the same treatment as the first place winner!

In other words.

There's no need to compare; both of them will enjoy the benefits and rewards of being number one in the assessment.

The only difference is that Jinghe doesn't have the title of first place.

Jinghe, of course, pretended to be embarrassed and refused.

Then Minjiang tried to persuade Jinghe, but Jinghe refused again. Minjiang emphasized it again, and in the end, Jinghe could only "reluctantly" accept.

Nowadays.

He came to the school to receive his performance evaluation reward.

At last.

The rewards he received were:
Top 8: TM "Venom Impact"

Top four: One Evolution Stone, "Ice Stone (Small)"

First and second place: Item "Power Headband"

Although it doesn't have TMs for moves like "Swords Dance", "Ability Swap", or "Aurora Veil", "Venom Impact" is still a pretty good move.

[Venom Impact: A poison-type move with a base power of 65, but its power doubles if the target is poisoned or severely poisoned!]

This move can greatly compensate for Gastly's lack of poison-type moves.

As a Pokémon with both Ghost and Poison types, its Poison-type moves are limited to "Toxic" and "Mist," which is rather underwhelming.

And the Evolution Stone was exactly what Jing He had expected.

【Ice Stone (Small): A magical stone that can evolve certain Pokémon (due to environmental limitations, it did not fully form and can be ground into powder for use)】

The cold, ice-crystal-like stone was polished smooth and shiny, with a mysterious aura swirling around it.

As an evolution stone, the Ice Stone allows Pokémon like Sandshrew, Vulpix, and Eevee to evolve. However, this particular Ice Stone is a small one and is not large enough to evolve Vulpix into Ninetales.

Actually, you'll understand once you think about it.

A high-quality Evolution Stone typically costs between three and five million on the market, with significant fluctuations.

The top four in an academy mentor assessment will each receive a high-quality evolution stone.
A total of over ten million in rewards?

The Hoenn League is coming to investigate the academy the next day.

Even if you have money, you shouldn't squander it like this.

The prize money for winning a league championship may not even exceed ten million.

However, even a small "ice stone" can cost anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on its size, and it is the kind of stone that is priced but not available.

For Vulpix, this small "Ice Stone" cannot help it evolve, but the "Ice Stone" containing abundant energy is of great benefit to it.

Since it was originally obtained for free, it might help the little guy grow better and master its ice-type moves.

As for the "power headband," it was undoubtedly prepared for the skilled blacksmith.

[Power Headband: A headband that unleashes immense power, slightly increasing the power of the physical attack moves of the Pokémon it holds.]

The skilled blacksmith has yet to find a suitable tool for it, but I believe it will love it.

As for the first place prize
"I don't know either," said Minjiang, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, with a hint of helplessness.

Ok?
Jing He was taken aback.

"That so-called 'mysterious grand prize' was decided by the principal, but the principal went to the Padiya region and hasn't returned yet."

Talk about it.

Jinghe has been in the Kanaz Pokémon Academy for quite some time now, but she has never actually met the principal.

The Padiya region?
Just don't get involved in those outrageous things from the past or future.

"But don't worry, Teacher Jinghe, the principal is also paying attention to this assessment and has praised you highly, saying he'll prepare well and give you a surprise," Minjiang said with a smile.

Surprise
As long as it's not a fright, it's fine.

Jinghe was quite accepting of the first-place prize, which was essentially a windfall.

"By the way, Professor Jinghe, would you be interested in teaching in the combat or tactics department?"

In this assessment, Jinghe demonstrated outstanding strength and exceptional tactical skills. In his opinion, continuing to be a Pokémon psychology instructor would be a waste of his talents.

"Uh, forget it. I actually quite like Pokémon psychology."

Jinghe didn't think about it for long before rejecting it outright.

Admittedly, instructors in combat and tactics departments have much better benefits and salaries, but they also have much more course loads and less free time.

Forgive me for my unruly and unrestrained love of freedom throughout my life.

"Ok."

Minjiang seemed unsurprised by this, and said with a smile:
"If there are any opportunities to exchange with other schools in the future, please don't refuse, Ms. Jinghe."

so.
Going to the combat and tactics departments for classes was just a pretense; the following sentence is Minjiang's real purpose, isn't it?
Having already refused once, Jinghe couldn't refuse a second time, after all, the other party had given her a lot of convenience.

Minjiang patted Jinghe on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's all publicly funded."

Oh, that's okay.

When it comes to expense reimbursement, Jinghe considers herself quite skilled.

"One for each person."

Jinghe thought it was great; there was no need to fight over it.

Gastly happily accepted the "Venom Impact" move learning machine.

It hasn't shown its learning talent for quite some time now.

Holding the learning machine, it immediately started learning, muttering incantations to itself.

"口桀"

Carrying highly venomous teeth, claws, or objects containing potent toxins, such as venom glands or poisonous gems.
Gastly's eyes lit up.

Exactly!

I have it all.

After learning about the materials that would help him learn "Venom Impact", Gastly rummaged through the pile of "local specialties" he had brought back from the Sinnoh region.

Don't say it.

Surprisingly, it actually managed to collect almost all of them!
"Chirp!"

The skilled blacksmith stood in front of the mirror, his face serious and focused. With a strong pull, he put the "power headband" on his head.

It was already full of energy, and after wearing this, its effort level seemed to double.

I couldn't resist doing a handstand and push-ups right away.

The Ice Vulpix looked at the "Ice Stone" in front of it with some caution.

"Don't worry, this 'ice stone' is too small to help you evolve. You can eat it as a snack."

Jinghe could tell that Vulpix still had some concerns about whether it should evolve.

but it does not matter.

Once Gastly evolves into an adorable, chubby purple creature, its concerns should be dispelled.

"Ooh?"

snack?

Ice Six-Tails finally let out a long sigh of relief and put the "Ice Stone" in its mouth.

His eyes narrowed instantly.

It feels like eating candy.

"Ooh~~(＞＜)☆"
