Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 174 How do I learn this? (Seeking monthly votes!)
"Teacher Jinghe, is it unlimited battles, rotating battles, or..."

Lijia walked onto the field and asked with a smile.

Do you Kanto gym leaders really enjoy unlimited battles?

Jinghe couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

But thinking about it carefully, it really is true!
Besides flower arranging and perfume making, Rika is also quite skilled at archery.

It's the kind of game where you use a Poké Ball as the arrowhead, shooting the Pokémon directly to the opponent's side.
It's similar to Akin's pool cue.

Of course, there are also bows and arrows that don't require a Poké Ball.

so.
“Let’s just have a normal conversation, the simplest 1v1 format,” Jing He said.

Lijia did not refuse and nodded solemnly.

He bowed slightly.

When he raised his head again, his hair was already tied up with a headband, giving him a touch of heroic spirit.

"In that case, let's leave it to it."

She held a Poké Ball in her hand.

Jinghe also said that she was ready.

in the audience.

Daigo and his two friends sat down with Kazuki and his two friends from Yuho University.

"Miss Dujuan, I admire you greatly."

Just as Xiao Gang was about to launch an attack on Dujuan, Gengar emerged from the shadows.

"Genga~~"

It grinned maliciously and patted Xiaogang on the shoulder, causing Xiaogang's expression to freeze instantly.

"It's numb, it's so numb!"

"Gengar, what are you doing here?" Asha couldn't help but ask.

Teacher Jinghe is about to face off.
“Since Ms. Rika is a trainer who specializes in Grass-type Pokémon, Vulpix would be a more suitable Pokémon for her,” Daigo said thoughtfully.

"Why did Gengar leave with Teacher Jinghe just now?"

Dujuan looked at Gengar with a mischievous grin and asked.

Upon hearing this, Gengar grinned from ear to ear and suddenly produced a bucket of popcorn from somewhere.

Ta-da!

He grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his mouth, making a "crunch crunch" sound.

Really fragrant!

"Genga?"

You want it?

Gengar was quite magnanimous, and asked a question aloud.

"Is that alright? Thank you, Gengar!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all expressed their gratitude.

"Hey Gengar, where did you get that popcorn?"

Abi was very curious about this, as he hadn't seen any convenience stores nearby.

Gengar clenched its fist, then slowly opened it, indicating that it had exploded on its own.

"But... there's no corn at school, is there?" Du Juan thought back.

"Probably," Daigo, who had experienced it once before, said sheepishly, "It should be those sunflower monsters from the academy."

"Can sunflower seeds be made into popcorn?"

"and many more."

After popping a mouthful of popcorn, Ichiju suddenly seemed to realize something, or sense that something was wrong, and looked at Gengar.

"Gengar, what did you use to pop the popcorn?"

Ok?
"哓GA!"

Gengar grinned maliciously, and a ball of eerie blue flame appeared beside him.

"Will-o'-the-wisp?!"

呲——

One tree blushed, followed by Abi and the cuckoo. Daigo wisely refrained from eating, as for Asha...
Click click click——

"It tastes pretty good, Gengar. It would be even better if it were a bit spicier," Aysa pouted.

"Gengar!" Gengar gave her a thumbs up.

You know your stuff!

Lijia, who was completely focused on her battle with Jinghe, was obviously unaware that her students had been collectively defeated by Gengar once again.

"Teacher Jinghe, do you have your own battle 'flower style'?"

Lika asked with a smile, while throwing out a Poké Ball.

A beam of red light shot out, landed on the ground, and transformed into a huge Pokémon with a flower blooming on its back—Venusaur!

Venusaur, a seed Pokémon, is a Grass/Poison type Pokémon and the final evolution of Garlic Slug, one of the three starter Pokémon in the Kanto region!

"Da na~~"

"Don't take it so seriously." Jinghe's cheek twitched slightly as she looked at the enormous Venusaur.

Although he knew that Rika's main Pokémon were Vileplume and Bellossom, as a seasoned Pokémon enthusiast, Jinghe was well aware of how troublesome Venusaur was.

Jing He opened the Poké Ball in his hand, and Vulpix appeared at his feet.

"Ooh?"

Upon seeing the Venusaur opposite him, Vulpix's expression immediately turned serious.

"Don't be nervous, just take winning or losing lightly," Jing He said, squatting down to comfort him.

Ice Six-Tail nodded solemnly.

"Ooh!"

This looks like a very tough opponent; they'll probably have to use their real skills this time!

With a flick of its tail, the small "ice stone," which had shrunk from being handled so often, appeared.

The little guy solemnly put it to his mouth.

Under Jinghe's watchful eye.

click!
They actually managed to bite off a small piece!

Then it made a "crunching" sound in its mouth, like chewing ice cubes.

Jing He: "."

You were able to digest it a long time ago?

Yesterday he thought that the Ice Vulpix with its small "Ice Stone" should be able to hold out for a while, but now it seems that's probably not the case.
Another large, foreseeable expense.

"Are you okay?"

Bing Liuwei nodded to Jing He after swallowing the ice with a "gulp".

"Ooh!"

That's it!
Come to think of it, this shouldn't be considered doping, right?
"Then let's go," Jinghe could only say.

Ice Sixtail leaped into the arena.

“Teacher Jinghe, it seems that you and your Pokémon really enjoy battling.”

Lijia's gentle gaze gradually sharpened.

"And I am also thrilled about the upcoming battle with you!"

There is no referee.

But the two had a perfect understanding.

The battle begins!
Ice Sixtails' snow-white fur became even more crystalline, and a faint frost drifted out with each breath, while snowflakes immediately began to fall in the arena.

Such excellent weather control!

Lijia's eyes narrowed.

Is this the skill of Teacher Jinghe?

She dared not underestimate it in the slightest and immediately gave the order:

"Venusaur, Leech Seed!"

"Dah!"

Seeds of varying sizes shot out from beneath the flower on Venusaur's back, landing beside Vulpix and quickly taking root and sprouting. Meanwhile...

Jinghe's vision also caught sight of the Pokédex information about Lijia, the Venusaur.

Venusaur

[Type: Grass, Poison]

[Characteristics: Lush]

[Moves Mastered: Sunny Day, Leech Seed, Toxic, Protect, Substitute, Sleep Powder, Poison Powder, Razor Leaf, Photosynthesis]

Upon seeing these moves and Venusaur's abilities, Jinghe gained a general understanding of Lijia's tactics.

His expression also became somewhat strange.

At the same time, he commanded in a deep voice:
"Six-Tails, a trick!"

Venusaur's "parasitic seed" quickly took root and wrapped around Vulpix's body. The vines disappeared in an instant, but they would continue to drain Vulpix's stamina without its knowledge.

However, the Ice Vulpix also took advantage of this time to amplify its "Trick".

A sly glint flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lijia frowned.

This was very different from what she knew about Jinghe's Ice Six-Tail tactics.

Shouldn't we be building snowmen on snowy days?

But she still didn't change her tactics.

Or rather, once the "parasitic seed" is released, there is no longer any opportunity to change tactics.

"Venusaur, highly poisonous!"

really!

What a disgusting person!

They actually used the "substitute defense against poison" tactic!
How could there be such a dirty tactic as "defending the poison"?
"Ooh!"

With a whimper, Ice Sixtail scattered pebbles and snowflakes, and vanished from the arena in the blink of an eye.

Dig a hole!

Lijia smiled slightly.

"it's useless."

Just as Venusaur's "poison" was about to miss its target, a green glow suddenly emanated from its body. Immediately afterward, a faint glow appeared from the ground, revealing the "parasitic seeds" that were wrapped around it!
Jing He's eyes widened slightly.

Outrageous!

The "highly poisonous" substance even has a "lock" on it?
It’s cheating!
The gym leaders in Kanto are all highly skilled individuals. Their fighting style, which is adept at unlimited battles, cannot be understood using conventional methods.

There's nothing we can do about it.

It all comes down to who has the bigger "cheat".

woohoo-

in the venue.

Suddenly, a biting, icy wind howled.

"'Substitute defense against poison' tactic?" Du Juan was full of surprise.

Isn't this one of Teacher Jinghe's signature tactics?
"But speaking of which, Teacher Jinghe and Ice Six Tail's tactics are quite different this time."

As a fan of Jinghe, Abi has watched almost all of Jinghe's match videos, although not many.

“Because being able to lock onto a target based on the ‘parasitic seed’ makes it quite difficult to hide, right?” Kazuki also said.

“I know why,” Xiao Gang said, his lips trembling.

He smiled mysteriously at the questioning looks from the crowd.

"Because of smell. Ms. Rika and her Pokémon are extremely sensitive to smell."

Initially, everyone was a little unsure about this, but after the explanation from "expert" Xiao Gang, they all suddenly understood.

As expected of Xiao Gang!

Daigo smiled and said, "Perfect, let's see how Teacher Jinghe breaks the 'Substitute Guard Poison'."

Everyone nodded.

This is indeed a difficult tactic to counter, because even if you know what move the opponent will use next, it is not easy to neutralize it, unless everyone has a "provocation" weapon.

snowstorm?
"Bulbasa, it's a sunny day!"

The Ice-type move "Blizzard" poses a significant threat to Venusaur.

Moreover, in "snowy" weather, "blizzards" are not only more powerful, but also more likely to hit their opponents.

This is a "Blizzard" that has been enhanced with "Trickery"!
However, Rika chose to counter the move at its root.

Change the weather!

Ok?
But she quickly realized something was wrong.

ka ka ka-

One by one, ice flowers froze out of thin air, blooming like snow-white blossoms before Lijia's eyes.

Venusaur didn't fare as well as expected in the battle for the weather.

Or.

The weather is changing much slower than expected!

Realizing this situation, Lijia's expression immediately changed, and she changed tactics, saying in a deep voice:

"Venusaur, protect!"

Ke Jinghe had anticipated this move.

"Now, Six-Tails!"

boom! !

Six tails burst out of the ground.

Dig a hole!

Although it couldn't cause any real damage to Venusaur, it broke "Guard" before "Blizzard" could!
Then it is...
"snowstorm!"

"Ooh!!"

The little six-tailed creature burst from the ground, its tail fully outstretched, instantly turning the already howling wind and snow into sharp, bone-scraping blades.

This is the real "blizzard," not what happened just now.
It was only then that Rika noticed the fading superpowers in the eyes of the Ice Vulpix.

So, you just used superpowers to simulate a blizzard?

A scam?

This style of play
Could it be that Teacher Jinghe is also a master of unlimited combat?!
Realizing what was happening, Rika quickly said, "Venusaur, Substitute!"

"late."

The terrifying ice and snow formed a swirling tornado, even intertwined with wisps of faint superpowers, instantly enveloping Venusaur.

One after another, beautiful ice flowers bloomed on Venusaur's body, and as they continued to accumulate, they formed ice crystals.

"The power of this 'blizzard'," Lijia murmured, her eyes filled with undisguised amazement.

What a powerful "blizzard"!
Even though Venusaur struggled to use Substitute, it was still unable to escape the massive blizzard.

Jinghe demonstrated the best tactic to solve the "substitute defense poison" problem: there is no tactic, only a strong attack!
"Trickery" plus "Ice That Doesn't Melt," "Blizzard" combined with "Supernatural Power."
The power of this move is completely disproportionate to the petite size of the Ice Sixtail.

even.

Vulpix finished with its usual "Ice Beam," preventing Venusaur from even having a chance to use its "Overgrow" ability.

Venusaur is unable to battle!

Little Six-Tail exhaled a soft breath.

so close.

She hurriedly ran to Jinghe's side and cried out pitifully twice.

"Ooh ooh ooh~~"

I've been poisoned! Quickly, give me ten bottles of antidote.

Aysa and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although Teacher Jinghe demonstrated a way to break the "substitute defense poison," namely, a brute-force attack, ...
How to learn this?
The blizzard almost completely covered the area; its power was immense.
Learn what?

"Could this be the biggest difference between me and Teacher Jinghe?"

Xiao Gang thought of the Officer Jenny fans who were cheering for Jing He, and felt his heart bleed.
