Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 196 Gengar: Holy crap, he tricked me! (Seeking monthly votes!)

A private helipad on the outskirts of Rota.

"Miss, Miss Cynthia, it will be about an hour before we set off."

An elderly man dressed as a butler spoke respectfully to Cynthia and Gadriya.

Because Cynthia's exploration of the ruins is not yet complete, she must return to Unova with Gadriya.

Strictly speaking, she slipped away from the Orudron City celebration.

The United States region is quite far away, so the preparation work for the aircraft is more extensive.

Daigo's plane was already prepared, but out of gentlemanly consideration that they couldn't leave the two girls there, they didn't leave.

"Mr. Shaka from Shuanglong City?"

Upon hearing who Cynthia was planning to visit next, Jing He showed a hint of surprise.

"you know?"

"Uh, Mr. Shaka, the Gym Leader of the Twin Dragons Gym, a Dragon-type Pokémon Trainer, and the Headmaster of the Twin Dragons Academy, I think it would be hard for him not to know me, right? It's just that he doesn't recognize me." Jing He shrugged and smiled.

"Well"

Cynthia nodded thoughtfully.

Doesn't Mr. Xia Ka know Jing He?

Not necessarily.
“Mr. Shaka found something quite old and asked my grandmother about it, so she asked me to go there with him,” Cynthia said.

Upon hearing this, Jing He was speechless, and said with a hint of teasing, "So you took a detour to Luota City on your way to Shuanglong City?"

Cynthia winked playfully, without saying a word.

However, her words reminded Jinghe of something.

Shaka obtained something historical.
At this time.

"Jinghe, let's have a match!"

Suddenly, Cattleya jumped out, her little pink fists clenched, looking like she was gritting her teeth.

Her face flushed slightly, her superpowers emanated from her, and her golden curly hair swayed without wind.

She finally got her chance!
“You’re so cute, Gadria,” Cynthia said with a smile.

Jing He glanced at Cynthia.

Are you serious?

Where did this strange sour smell of jealousy come from?
But you have to admit, an angry Cattleya does have guts.
It has a doll-like exquisite feel.

"It's...it's alright~~"

One second Cattleya was all fierce, the next she became shy.

However, when she noticed Jing He's somewhat strange gaze, her eyes narrowed again.

His body slowly levitated, looking down at Jing He, and said:

"How about it?"

Jing He smiled slightly and uttered two words.

"can."

Ok?
Cynthia and Daigo both looked at Jinghe with some surprise.

In their minds, Jing He was not someone who would readily accept challenges from others.

He is not a battle maniac.

Before Cattleya could speak, he continued:

"How about the loser grants the winner one request?"

Upon hearing this, Cattleya smiled.

Her gaze swept over Cynthia.

His eyes were incredibly firm.

So, this is the battle for Cynthia!
Judging from her expression, Jinghe knew she had misunderstood, but he didn't explain.

"Okay! I hope you give it your all and don't make me so bored that I yawn during the fight, understand?" She raised her chin high.

But then Jinghe rubbed his chin and said frankly:
"It's difficult. There's no denying that there's a gap in strength between us."

If Cattleya doesn't have any martial ethics, then don't blame him for being "ruthless".

Fortunately, although Cattleya is arrogant, arrogant people are usually easily provoked.

"Long-winded!"

Cattleya gave a soft hum.

"What I want is an elegant victory."

Jinghe smiled.

elegant
You've really become addicted to arrogance!

On a vacant grassy area outside the tarmac.

"Come on, bronze bell!"

As Cattleya said, she did not send out her Gothic Lady, but her Bronze Bell was actually quite powerful.

"Gengar."

Gengar is undoubtedly the best choice when facing Psychic-type Pokémon.

Even though Bronze Bell is a psychic and steel-type Poison-type Poison Bell.

"Genga!!"

Gengar, with a sinister grin on its face, leaped out of the shadows.

Cattleya wore an expression that said, "I knew it."

But what she didn't know was that Jinghe had also made a prediction about which Pokémon she would send out.

"The battle begins!"

Du Juan once again acted as the referee.

“A trick, Gengar,” Jinghe said calmly.

"Genga~~"

Upon hearing the command, Gengar, without suspicion, stood still and began to gather its strength in the face of the formidable Bronze Bell.

At the same time, it was only a split second slower than Gengar.

hum-

With a slight tremor from the ancient bronze bell.

A square black film spread outwards from its center, enveloping a portion of the surrounding area.

Magic space!

Ok?
Cattleya, who was using her superpowered "telepathy" to control the bronze bell, was taken aback by what she saw.

This was truly the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Normally, as a superpowered individual, using "telepathy" to command others gives her a significant advantage.

Even if it's not unlimited battles and she can't add superpowers to Pokémon, the speed of "telepathic" command is still much faster than verbal command.

It's not that Gengar is faster than Bronze Bell.

just
Who would use "tricks" right from the start?

Aren't you afraid of being taken down in one combo by a strong attack?

Therefore, she had a feeling that it was as if someone had guessed she was going to use "Trick Space".

Was my reading done first?
A superpowered person was read first? If Jing He knew what she was thinking, she would definitely purse her lips.

For Pokémon like Bronze Bell, besides being a "Trick Room Setter" in a Trick Room team, the only options left are "Calm Mind" and "Iron Defense" to add status effects, and then winning with "Foresight". Are there any other options?
So it doesn't matter which hand the bronze bell was made from.

Gengar's opening move, "Naughty Tactics," is definitely a safe bet.

After seeing the illustrations of the bronze bell, he became even more convinced.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Cattleya quickly calmed down.

Even if Gengar's "trick" succeeds and "Trick Room" is successfully opened, there is still a possibility of a battle.

After all, neither Gengar nor Bronze is particularly strong; the only difference is that Bronze has higher defense and defensive stats, making it more durable.

But at most, it just changes the outcome from one move to two.

[Trick Room: Within this space, the movement speeds of battling Pokémon are swapped]

The bronze bell, which was originally at a significant speed disadvantage, now has the advantage of striking first!
Boom! !

The bronze bell emitted a deep, resonant sound, and instantly a powerful psychic force coalesced, shooting straight towards Gengar like an arrow.

Mental strength!

"Gengar, attack!"

Jing He remained calm and composed.

Trick Room does indeed impose a significant limitation on Gengar.

However, the "Trick Space" also has weaknesses.

If the opponent launches an attack but fails to complete it, "Surprise Attack" allows you to act before the opponent.

"Genga~~"

The dark aura enveloped Gengar, seemingly allowing it to temporarily escape the constraints of "Trick Room".

Its figure flickered and appeared behind the bronze bell.

clang! !

He punched him hard, making a sound.

No.

A question mark appeared above Cattleya's head.

It's one thing for you to use "trickery" to strengthen your character at the start.

How can you boost your Special Attack and then switch to Physical Attack moves?

Also, whose Gengar is practicing boxing?!

the most important is.

This Gengar's "Surprise Attack" is surprisingly powerful!
"Mind Hammer!" Gadriya commanded in her mind.

When the bronze bell "suddenly struck," Gengar had already condensed into a jet-black sphere.

"Shadow ball!"

"Genga~~"

Gengar grinned maliciously, and a huge black sphere was formed in its pitch-black hands.

Upon seeing this, Cattleya's expression froze again.

Is your "Shadow Ball" legal?
This time.

It's a true head-on confrontation!

When the bronze bell retaliated with physical attacks, it was met with a giant "shadow ball".

It's still the "Shadow Sphere" that has been enhanced by "Trickery"!
boom! !

Gengar took a few steps back.

However, the bronze bell fell to the ground and lost its ability to fight.

The black membrane of the "magic space" also disappeared.

The battle ended much faster than Cattleya had anticipated.

Did you...lose?
She found it somewhat difficult to accept.

He should have only lost to Cynthia.
What she found even more unacceptable was...
Losing this battle is the same as losing Cynthia, isn't it?
A superpower began to surge uncontrollably within her.

"Cattleya!"

Seeing this, Cynthia quickly called out.

Hearing her voice, Cattleya's superpowers subsided slightly.

She turned to look at Cynthia, a few tears welling up in her eyes.

at the same time.

Jinghe led Gengar step by step over.

Just when Gadriya thought Jinghe was going to announce Cynthia's ownership as the victor, she saw him hand her a notebook.

"Here."

Ok?
"My condition is that you learn to control your superpowers properly, following the methods in this book," Jing He said.

Cattleya was taken aback.

I subconsciously took the notebook and opened it.

"This, this is."

This contains some methods for controlling superpowers that Jinghe obtained from Natsumi. This is how the Six-Tails' superpowers were stabilized, and it should also be useful for Cattleya.

"why?"

Cattleya looked completely bewildered.

Jing He put his hands in his pockets, looked up at a 45-degree angle, and sighed:
"You're strong, but that's not how you use superpowers."

"And I have to consider my 'patients' too."

This is what a doctor should be like!

Cuckoo, Aysa, and even Daigo and Cynthia cast admiring glances at them.

Gengar, standing next to Jinghe, bared its teeth.

Holy crap, he got me!

On the plane bound for the Unova region.

Cattleya nestled on Cynthia's lap like a kitten, murmuring:
“Sometimes I wonder, Cynthia, am I incapable of doing anything right?”

Cynthia smiled slightly, gently stroking Cattleya's head as if petting a kitten, and said:

"Didn't Jinghe say you were very strong?"

Cattleya sniffed.

Even though the thought of Jing He made her feel like he would steal Cynthia, she then thought about how he, as a Pokémon psychologist, had put his heart and soul into protecting her twin egg cells.
I've realized I can't get angry anymore.

"Just... just forgive him this once!"

This is the second person, besides Cynthia, to allow me to defeat!

Cynthia's smile widened as she ran her fingers through Cattleya's hair, playfully ruffling it.

It seems that Jinghe has gained Jiadeliya's approval.

Even if it makes her cry.

Feeling the warmth of Cynthia's hand, Cattleya's cheeks flushed slightly, and she let out two soft sobs.

She pulled out the handwritten notebook and whispered, almost as if in murmur:
Actually, he's not a bad person.

"right."
