Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 158 Evolve, Little Purple-Skinned Chubby! (Seeking monthly votes!)
An old-fashioned lighthouse, walls covered in dust.

Tuk Tuk——

Jinghe knocked on the door.

Gastly poked its head out of the door.

Jinghe had even grown somewhat accustomed to his indiscriminate entry into homes.

"口桀"

The door is unlocked.

"Ooh?"

A sound came from inside the door, and with a creak, the door was slowly pushed open.

A fiery red head popped out.

Six tails!

"Ooh?"

The Ice Vulpix, perched on Jing He's head, tilted its head and showed curiosity upon seeing the Six-Tails.

"Ooh?"

The Vulpix, who had just opened the door, also noticed the Ice Vulpix and tilted its head in curiosity.

pat-

The Ice Vulpix jumped to the ground, and the two Vulpix looked at each other.

"Chirp?"

The skilled blacksmith rubbed his eyes.

Why are there two six-tailed foxes?
Although the colors are slightly different.

"This should be Dr. Masaki's Vulpix, right?"

Bill is an incredibly talented person. He is not only a Pokémon Professor who developed the Pokémon Storage System and Time Capsule, but also a Pokémon commentator and a member of the Pokémon Association.

In fact, in the special episode, he was also a trainer with considerable strength, having fought alongside Lt. Surge against the Elite Four's Shiva.

This Vulpix is ​​Bill's Pokémon, and he spends most of his time guarding the house.

However, compared to Zheng Hui's "resume" and talent, Jing He is actually more satisfied with Xiao Liuwei's changes.

Back then, it was so timid and shy that it never dared to approach strangers or Pokémon. But now, upon seeing this Vulpix, it actually took the initiative to greet it.

While this is partly due to the fact that the other is also a Six-Tails, the growth of the Ice Six-Tails cannot be denied.

They become less timid and shy, but increasingly cautious.

"Ooh~~"

"Ooh~~"

The two six-tailed creatures quickly became familiar with each other.

"Six-Tails, is someone coming?" came Masahiro's voice from inside.

"Dr. Zhenghui, I am Jinghe."

Jing He immediately said.

"Is this Teacher Jinghe? Please come in, I have something to attend to."

Upon hearing this, Jing He carefully went inside.

What comes into view are books and various instruments piled up haphazardly, most of which are covered with a lot of dust, making the light inside the lighthouse somewhat dim.

After telling the little ones not to move around, Jinghe went deeper into the area.

You'll see soon.

A young man, covered in sweat, was struggling to remove the Magikarp costume he was wearing.
Jing He was stunned for a moment.

Although it wasn't the "familiar" fossil helmet jacket, it still matched Jinghe's impression of Zhenghui.

at least
It is not integrated with Rada or Nidorino.

"Kou Jie!"

Gastly, however, seemed quite excited. It floated to Bright's side, looked him up and down for a moment, and its outline gradually changed, transforming into the shape of a Magikarp.

It was just a pure black Magikarp with its tongue sticking out.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Hui looked surprised and exclaimed in astonishment:
Do you like cosplay too?

"Hehehe~~"

Gastly grinned.

When it comes to transformation, I'm serious!
A person and their Pokémon, who share a common "hobby," seem to have hit it off immediately.

"cough."

Jinghe couldn't help but cough lightly.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Teacher Jinghe."

It was only then that Zheng Hui realized what was happening. He chuckled awkwardly, scratched his brown curly hair, and finally took off the Magikarp outfit.

"I'm studying the equipment you and Mr. Awakening sent. I'm curious about what Magikarp would think when faced with a special magnetic field, so..."

"understand."

Damn it!
Zheng Hui's behavior is clearly a "fashion fetish," okay?

"Speaking of which, I really owe it to the equipment you sent, which solved my biggest problem," Zhenghui said, wiping away his sweat.

"Ok?"

Cynthia had previously stated that Bill's "communication device" was not yet perfect and there was a possibility of communication failure, which might cause some damage to the Pokémon.

Now, thanks to the research findings of Team Rocket, it has been completely perfected?

When this topic came up, Zheng Hui immediately became interested.

"That device is highly targeted; a significant part of it is designed to stimulate Pokémon evolution, making up for what I did before."

As they talked, Zhenghui slowly realized that Jinghe hadn't come to hear him say these things.

"Sorry, I think I've said too much."

He walked to the side, where there was a large instrument with trays at both ends, which should be where Poké Balls were placed.

"This is the 'communication device'. Once the accurate data is entered, it will be completely finished!"

After speaking, he looked at Jing He eagerly.

Jinghe also took out a document, which Adu had given him, and brought it to Zhenghui.

"Thank you."

Zheng Hui was overjoyed. He took the documents, turned around, and began to adjust the device, saying at the same time:
"It'll be over soon, Teacher Jinghe. Can you tell me about the red Gyarados?"

So Jinghe began to explain in as much detail as possible.

After all, it concerned Gastly's evolution, so he dared not be careless.

"Evolution is irreversible, Teacher Jinghe, are you and your Gastly ready?"

Zheng Hui, who was still debugging the device, suddenly asked.

Are you ready?
Jinghe looked at Gastly.

Gastly happened to be looking at him.

blinked.

Gastly suddenly grinned and laughed.

"Kou Jie!"

What do you need to prepare? Just do it!

Jing He was speechless.

That does fit Gastly's personality quite well.

In fact, Gastly had considered some things.

In its view, Jinghe had such a hard time making money and had to work so hard to raise the four of them, so it wanted to help.

Haunter's thinking is very simple.

Players like Wataru, Daigo, and Cynthia have won a lot of money by playing tournaments.

If it could be as powerful as their Pokémon, wouldn't that allow Jinghe to make money without lifting a finger?
and.

Haunter remembers it vividly.

On that ordinary morning, it was washing clothes with Jinghe on the balcony. At the moment the foam was flying, at the moment Jinghe said that it was family, it already knew the answer in its heart.

"so good"

Zheng Hui had already finished debugging the instrument at some point.

"In Gastly, I saw its absolute trust in you, Teacher Jinghe, and the deep bond between you two."

“I think that even if you become a ghost, Teacher Jinghe, it will stay with you.”

Jing He's expression darkened.

Can you speak?
And Gastly, why are you nodding?

"Since you're ready, then let's go."

As he spoke, Zheng Hui took out a Poké Ball, which was clearly one of the essential conditions for "communication exchange".

"That's it? No need to do any more experiments or anything?"

Jinghe asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, it's fine. It's just a simple data debugging and confirmation process."

Zheng Hui waved his hand, appearing very confident.

"Besides, I've already tried it myself, and it's absolutely fine!"

Experience it for yourself?

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Jinghe's forehead.

Is it really okay?

However, considering that the person in front of him was already an authority on "communication exchange" in this world, he didn't have many other options.

"Kouhee, kouhee!"

Gastly swayed back and forth, looking rather impatient.

Jing He took a deep breath, took out the Gastly's Poké Ball, and put it away.

"bring it on."

Zheng Hui and Jing He stood on either side of the device and placed their Poké Balls on it.

At this moment, Vulpix, Blacksmith, and Dratini also gathered around.

Don't miss the moment when Gastly evolves!

As Bill pressed the button on the device, it immediately emitted a "buzzing" sound, sucking in both Poké Balls at the same time, and then began to shake.

Looking at the instrument that was constantly making "humming" noises, Jing He was really worried for Ghost.

I hope a Gastly appears out of nowhere.

"Oh?"

Looking at the readings on the instrument, Zheng Hui looked surprised.

"Teacher Jinghe, your Gastly is so strong! It seems to have accumulated a lot of energy, and there's even some that hasn't been fully unleashed yet."

Not really.

It's a thousand-year-old ghost, after all.

They eat and use only the best quality food and supplies, and are also given "snacks" from time to time.

"is that OK?"

This is already the umpteenth time Jinghe has expressed his concerns today.

"Absolutely no problem!"

Zhenghui stepped forward and pressed down on the instrument that was shaking violently.

Brother, why is there such a discrepancy between what you say and what you do?

Jing He, who was focused on the instrument, did not notice that the screen of his mobile phone in his pocket suddenly lit up.

[Young man]: ?

A scarlet eye, tinged with a hint of confusion, appeared on the flickering phone screen.

[Young Man]: Do I need help with my 'alt account'?
click -

A plume of white steam rose from the instrument, and the shaking and noise abruptly stopped.

Two Poké Balls reappeared on the two trays, one on the left and one on the right.

Zheng Hui let out a long sigh and wiped away his sweat.

"Success."

Jinghe immediately stepped forward and grabbed the slightly warm Poké Ball.

He exchanged a glance with Zheng Hui.

"Open the Poké Ball," said George.

Jinghe took another breath and, without hesitation, immediately pressed the button on the Poké Ball.

For a while.

As the red light flashed, a thick, pitch-black mist instantly billowed out from the opened Poké Ball.

The black fog was so thick that it even filled and enveloped the entire lighthouse room.

The surrounding temperature plummeted.

at the same time.

A faint black thread slowly drifted out from Jinghe's phone screen and silently merged into the thick black fog.

Vaguely.

It was as if a huge, ferocious black dragon flashed and disappeared in the black mist.

"That is."

Zheng Hui rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, he had already disappeared.

"My eyes are playing tricks on me."

Actually, it wasn't just him; Jing He saw it too.

Ok?
Judging from the outline alone, it looks a bit like a Giratina.

Has Gastly transformed into more forms than usual?

hum-

Just as they were wondering what was going on, the spreading black mist condensed and turned into a deep purple at an extremely fast speed, while bursting out with a dazzling white light!

Amidst the interplay of purple and white.

An outline gradually took shape.

"Genga~~"

Different voices, familiar intonation.

Gengar!

The chubby little purple-skinned boy makes a dazzling appearance!
