Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 153 Dragon Hammer Hand, To be determined! (Seeking monthly votes!)
Inside the pitch-black, luxurious sphere, the Dratini, having recovered from the frost, was curiously observing its new environment.

Seeing its lively state, Jing He nodded slightly.

It's really in good shape. It was hit by a Blizzard from a Vulpix, and although it was frozen, it recovered quickly. It's no wonder it's a Dragon-type Pokémon with a strong physique.

However, Jinghe also had her doubts.

Perhaps it's Dratini's luck that causes it to encounter troubles that other Pokémon don't, which has made it resilient and durable.

Just like now, the sleeping Gyarados rolled over and crushed it.

If it weren't for the fact that it had just shed its skin, it probably wouldn't have felt much of a difference.

If it's durable, that's good.

Good to feed.

"It seems it really approves of you," A-Du said with a smile, having also witnessed the scene.

"Is that so?" Jing He nodded with emotion.

He himself is a person with a rather complex inner world, and when he met the equally complex Dratini, they could be considered kindred spirits.

"Then this is for you."

Adu took out a very old-fashioned book with a few powerful characters written on it: "The Secrets of Dragon Taming"!
Without waiting for Jing He's reaction, he stuffed it into his hand.

Then he patted Jinghe on the shoulder and said:
"There's no need for formalities between us."

No.

Is this a matter of being polite or impolite?

A strange look flashed in Jing He's eyes.

Is your "Tips on Dragon Taming" even serious?
He casually flipped to the first page, which read:

"Dragonite cannot fly, but if it learns 'Dragon Dance,' it can fly briefly. After evolving into Dragonair, it can fly using 'Dragon Dance.'"

Although it's about "Dragon Dance",...
As expected of a dodo bird.

It wasn't until Xiao Chun took out an almost identical copy of "The Dragon Taming Manual" and waved it slightly in front of him that Jing He understood.

No wonder. At least half of your Pokémon are good at flying.

Of course, this is a joke.

This book, "The Art of Dragon Taming," is quite good. It describes how to train many Dragon-type Pokémon, with the most detailed explanations focusing on training Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite.

It's clear that the Dragon Family doesn't really mind promising trainers entering the "Dragon's Den" to catch Dragon-type Pokémon.

Just like the Dragonite in the flower field, and the other Dragonites living here, as well as some powerful Dragon-type Pokémon.

When the trainers pass away peacefully, these Dragon-type Pokémon will most likely return to their homeland, "Dragon's Den," and become its guardians.

"Thank you," Jing He said gratefully.

In any case, this was indeed a great help to him.

I came to Smoky City and unexpectedly caught my fourth Pokémon.

Moreover, it's a pseudo-legendary Pokémon that everyone envies: Dratini.

Eventually, it will evolve into a rather friendly, large, cough, Dragonite.

Judging solely from their appearance, as long as it's not flashy, they're all top-notch.

Of course, the green Dragonite is also interesting, but it's not as widely accepted.

As for strength...
Combining the "Dragon Taming Tips" given by Adu with Jinghe's own understanding and knowledge, he already had a general direction.

The first thing to be certain of is: dual swords, it has to be dual swords!

In the game, due to numerical limitations, Dragonite mostly follows a physical attack build, combined with moves like "Extreme Speed". However, in the real Pokémon world, it would be a shame if Dragonite's physique didn't go for a dual-wielding build.

Even Gastly's pathetic 50 Attack stat can be trained to use "Shadow Punch," so what's wrong with Dragonite having 100 Special Attack?

Moreover, Dragonite is a true "master of moves," with an astonishing number of moves it can learn.

Furthermore, with the added benefit of the "Law of Conservation of Qi", it would be a waste not to learn some moves like "Big Flame Burst", "True Qi Bullet", "Storm", and "Thunder".

Of course, these move learning machines are not cheap.

"So this was the 'trap'!"

Jinghe once again felt the financial crisis.

And it's a major crisis!
The only saving grace is that the Dratini has learned to use "water cannon".

Furthermore, as Jinghe observed, it had already achieved the terrifying feat of hitting four water cannons in a row.

"It would be great if we could create a general-type Taijing in the future."

Let's imagine.

Originally, Dragonite, a Dragon/Flying type, was 4x weak to Ice and 2x weak to Fairy and Dragon types, with its Ice weakness being particularly fatal.

However, if it is transformed into another attribute through crystallization, then its weakness of being ice-type is eliminated.

For example, when Dragonite uses "Tai Crystal" to crystallize into a Normal-type, it not only loses its weakness to Ice-type, but also gains a huge boost to Dragonite's most commonly used Normal-type move "Extreme Speed"!
The "lightning-fast push team" is no longer out of the question.

Although the "Divine Speed" move only has a power of 80, which is not low, it is a bit weaker than moves like "Water Cannon" and "Big Flame Burst". However, its advantage lies in its extremely fast speed!

However, terrecrystallization requires "terrecrystallized beads" unique to the Padiya region.

Jinghe doesn't know the current situation of this thing, and the alliance has never released any information about Taijinghua.

This is mainly because the Padiya region is quite far from Kanto and Johto.

However, the teratogenic evolution in the Padia region and the Dynamax evolution in the Galar region are different.

Dynamax can only be used in specific locations with the Dynamax Band.

Of course, if Eternatus were to suddenly unleash a massive energy explosion, the entire Pokémon world might be able to Dynamax.

Theoretically, as long as the energy inside the "Tai Crystal Bead" is sufficient, there is no limitation on the region.

However, after using the crystallization process once, recharging the "crystal bead" may be quite troublesome.

But anyway.
Adu was overjoyed.

"To rebuild the glory of the general department champion, I, A-Du, have an unshirkable responsibility!"

For example, if he had crystallized, Lance might actually be able to get past Lorelei and the other four Elite Four.

Jing He shook his head.

That's thinking too far ahead.

His biggest problem right now is probably...
How to raise these four Pokémon well.

They returned to the accommodation arranged by Xiaochun.

The first thing to do is let the little ones get to know each other, especially the newly joined mini-dragons.

"A moan?"

Dratini looked at the Gastly, Vulpix, and Blacksmith who were arranged in a circle, with a puzzled expression.

Gastly's claws wrapped around the necks of Vulpix and Blacksmith.

"Kuji~~" (We can't let the hypnosis connection with Old Jing's family be lost.)
"Ooh~~" (But Dratini doesn't seem like it can use "hypnosis")

The skilled blacksmith grinned and patted the hammer beside him.

"Chirp!" (I don't know how either, but I have "Hammer Sleep"!)

Upon hearing this, Gastly and Vulpix exchanged a glance.

A look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

Gastly clenched its claws and pounded its other claw.

"Kou Jie!" (Physical phenomena enter the dream, magic enters the dream!)

Ice Six Tail muttered something under its breath.

"Wow." (Actually, its "wake-up service" is pretty impressive too.)

The three little ones looked at each other again.

Makes sense!
Watching them whisper amongst themselves, Jinghe gently rubbed her chin twice.

"It seems they won't be so easily led astray."

next second.

"Kou Jie~~"

Gastly pulled the bewildered Dratini over, and the four Pokémon formed a group with their heads touching.

Every now and then you can hear the Dratini making a sound of realization.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just normal communication."

Jinghe wiped her forehead.

After all, they are his Pokémon, so some emotional interaction is still necessary.

and.

Jinghe had considered it carefully.

There's probably no angle from which the Mini Dragon could fit into the "Outlaws Trio".

They were only exchanging experiences related to hypnosis.

"As a Pokémon psychologist, it's quite normal for a Pokémon to communicate its hypnotic experience, right?"

Jinghe even started to lose confidence.

but.

Jinghe was quite pleased to see how quickly they had integrated into the group.

"Now that we have a new member, let's eat out again today."

Thinking of this, he turned and went back to his room.

Perfect timing, he has two gifts to give to the Mini Dragon.

Little did he know that as soon as he left, Gastly and the others started talking about other things.

A known:

Dratini's final evolution is Dragonite, while Trickster's final evolution is Maxthon.

Conclusion:
Dragon Hammer Hand!

They are amphibious, having mastered amphibious capabilities across land, sea, air, and underground!
"chirp"

The skilled blacksmith imagined a future where it and the Dratini would both evolve and work together to fight the giant bird.

Impressive!
Gastly, looking quite earnest, patted the Blacksmith and Dratini on the shoulder.

"Kou Jie~~"

It's not easy for Jinghe to earn money to support his family. As his Pokémon, we should understand his difficulties and learn to share his burden.

The skilled blacksmith, who already had considerable experience in this area, nodded emphatically.

"Chirp!!"

"Singing."

Although Dratini was a little unaccustomed to the rapid change of topic, it roughly understood what Gastly was saying.

As a "great dragon-type Pokémon," helping its trainer become the "strongest" is its inevitable goal.

How can we be hindered by the word "poor"?

suddenly.

Gastly, who was talking enthusiastically, paused for a moment, and its expression immediately turned serious.

"Kou Jie?"

It floated straight up to the ceiling.

Peek inside.

This is its "territory".

As Gastly burrowed into the ceiling, a blurry shadow slowly dissipated—the shadow it habitually left behind.

Followed by.

Gastly saw a green Pokémon hanging upside down from the roof beam, resembling a spider.

Orb-weaver spider!
The two Pokémon stared at each other for a few seconds.

Gastly tilted its head slightly.

I saw a man dressed in black night clothes, masked, standing on the roof beam.

Gastly's eyes widened slightly.

Ninja!
Immediately, he recalled the words Jing He had once told him.

The person opposite was also somewhat surprised to see Gastly disappear into the ceiling. He opened his mouth, about to speak.

Then he saw a huge "shadow ball" hurtling towards him!
A-Ju: ?!

P.S.: Requesting minimum monthly votes at the beginning of the month!

I'll make up for it with extra chapters; I'm already preparing them. That's a trainer's promise (affirmative face).
