Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 208 The Moon Is So Round Tonight (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Kanto, Crimson Island.

Located on a large island in the southernmost part of the Kanto region, it has natural active volcanoes and hot springs, just like LavaCity in the Hoenn region.

It is a must-visit tourist destination when you come to Kanto.

Woo, woo—

A sea breeze carrying a hint of warmth and the smell of sulfur brushed against my face, and long-winged gulls flew low over the azure sea.

have to say.

Despite the approaching winter, the temperature on Crimson Island, a volcano with active volcanoes, is quite pleasant.

As soon as I stepped out of the port, I saw many waiters soliciting customers, most of whom were staff from the island's hotels.

There are many shops of all kinds on both sides of the road, and most of the people on the road are tourists wearing Alora-style floral shirts and beach shorts.

With the idea of ​​coming to vacation and enjoying local customs, Jinghe led the little ones into a beachwear store.

"Alora!"

The owner, dressed in a blue beach outfit, was very welcoming. When he saw Jinghe and his group come in, he greeted them with a smile.

"Oh? It's actually the Alolan form of Vulpix. That's quite rare."

Clearly, the owner is from the Alola region and opened this shop on Cinnabar Island.

"Alola."

Jinghe also greeted the boss with a smile.

"Alolan" is how the Alora people greet each other, meaning "hello," "goodbye," or "I love you," and also containing meanings such as "hope," "love," "peace," and "happiness."

It was a very friendly greeting.

Having received a response and seeing the Ice Vulpix, the shopkeeper became even more enthusiastic and gave Jinghe and his group a very low discount.

When Jinghe walked out of the clothing store, he had changed into a beach outfit printed with pink cherries and was holding Ice Sixtail, who was wearing a beautiful flower wreath, in his arms.

And behind him.

It was a Gengar wearing goggles and a purple floral shirt, and a Craftsman wearing a small blue floral shirt.

As for Hakron, it wore a light yellow, large-brimmed beach hat that covered most of its head.

It also makes it a little hard to see the road.

"Hakuron, over here."

There are many hotels on Cinnabar Island, including a large number of hotels controlled by Team Rocket.

However, having already gained experience, he knew how to find a reliable hot spring hotel.

Night falls.

The babbling stream flows through a secluded path and arrives at an open-air hot spring shrouded in mist.

Da da da--

Jinghe, wearing wooden clogs and carrying a large fruit platter, arrived at the hot spring.

"you."

Bang! !

slam-la-

The splashing warm water drenched his face.

Jing He: "."

He stiffly wiped the water off his face, his eyes twitching slightly as he looked at Gengar, who had plunged into the hot spring and was swimming on his back.

This chubby little guy caused the hot spring water to overflow after he went down!
Gengar had been to hot springs before, so it was no problem at all and jumped right in without any shyness.

It waved and laughed at Jinghe and the others.

then.

"哓GA!"

I'm going into the water! Glug glug glug—

Emerging from the water, he began his freestyle breaststroke.

Next came the skilled blacksmith.

It first lifted one of its little feet, and with some curiosity and trepidation, put its foot in. After confirming that it was only slightly hot, it took a deep breath and jumped in, imitating Gengar.

thump!
however.

goo goo-

Several bubbles rose, but none of them actually floated to the surface.

Seeing this, Gengar knew that it had gone into the water with the hammer again. It was already used to this, so it took a deep breath, "plop," and dived down to pull the blacksmith out of the water.

This was Hakron's first time soaking in a hot spring, but water is what he loves most, so naturally...
With a "plop," he slid right in.

After a while, it poked its head out again, smiled at Jing He, and let out a burp.

Jinghe rubbed her forehead.

Do evil.

"Ooh, ooh."

If we were to say which of his Pokémon is most afraid of water, it would definitely be Vulpix.

It imitated the skilled blacksmith, tiptoed to the hot spring, and stretched out its little paw to explore.

"Ooh!"

So hot!

Knowing his personality all along, Jing He chuckled mischievously, walked over to the little guy, and said:

"Go away!"

I picked it up and jumped into the water with it.

"Ooh! Ooh-ooh—!!"

Every time I give Xiao Liuwei a bath, it's a chaotic mess.

But once you accept it, it will still feel very comfortable.

A few minutes later.

The hot spring gradually calmed down.

Only five heads remained, neatly arranged, resting against the shore and topped with white towels.

Jinghe, Gengar, Vulpix, Dragonair, and Trickster
Oh, and there's also a hammer that wandered in, leaning against the shore with most of it submerged in the water, covered with a white towel as well.

"Ah, that feels so good~" Jinghe said with her eyes half-closed.

The little ones: (*￣￣*)
Hot springs are indeed very relaxing.

drip-

Just as I was enjoying myself, my phone suddenly rang.

Jing He was slightly taken aback. After clicking on it, he found that it was a video sent by Cynthia, and the main character in the video was Garchomp!

"Roar--!!"

In the video, Garchomp has bloodshot eyes and roars as it swings its sharp scythes.

If translated, the general meaning would be...
Look me in the eye, you little brat!!
Jinghe's eye twitched, and he nudged Gengar with his elbow.

"Genga?" "Looking for you."

Show the video to Gengar.

"Gen, genga!! Σ(дlll)"

click-

Jinghe took a picture of Gengar's expression and sent it to Cynthia.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: It should know it made a mistake.

[Eevee eating cabbage]: Garchomp said, "I'll teach you not to run away after school next time (Gengar mocks.jpg)".

Jing He: "."

No.

The one who posted the video is Gengar, and the one showing off "Dragon Dance" is Dragonair. What does that have to do with me?
[Ibrahimovic eating cabbage]: Are you guys soaking in a hot spring?

However, Cynthia soon discovered that Gengar seemed to be in a hot spring.

Jinghe, realizing she could change the subject, replied without hesitation.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: Yes, let's do it together next time.

But he realized something was wrong as soon as he sent it.

My body trembled inexplicably, as if Garchomp and Lucario were watching me from behind.

I was just about to withdraw.

[Ibrahimovic eating cabbage]: Okay.

Jinghe couldn't help but recall the swimsuit photos of Cynthia that she had seen before, and felt a slight warmth in her nose.

and many more.

It's just a promise to go to a hot spring, it's not like it's a mixed-gender bath, why are you so excited?
【Jingzhongzhihe】: Ahem, the moon is so round tonight.

[Ibrahimovic eating cabbage]: Yes.

Cynthia, far away in Unova, blushed slightly and put away her phone.

Cattleya immediately cast a suspicious glance at her. "What's wrong?"

"No, the moon is quite round today."

Cattleya looked out the window.

Where is the moon?

After soaking in the hot springs and changing their clothes, Jinghe prepared to take the little ones to watch the volcano movie unique to Honglian Island.

I had just stepped out the door.

Suddenly, a man appeared before them, wearing a brown wig and beard, round-framed sunglasses, and a bright red outfit, looking rather comical.

"You are..." Jing He looked the person up and down, feeling that he seemed somewhat familiar.

"Hey buddy, wanna play a riddle? There's a prize if you guess right," the man asked cheerfully.

Riddle?

Before Jinghe could respond, Gengar immediately grinned and raised its hand.

"哓GA!"

I'll do it! I'll do it!
Jinghe finally recognized the strangely dressed man in front of her.

"So you are... Master Xia Bo?"

The man suddenly jolted and covered his head.

"Xia, Xia Bo? What Xia Bo? Where is Xia Bo?"

Faced with Jing He's strange gaze, the man sighed and removed his wig and sunglasses.

"You actually recognized this. You really are worthy of being Teacher Jinghe."

Jing He: "."

So you people in the Pokémon world are so confident in your disguises, right?

Or is this the level of disguise skills that the Rockets have inherited?
Gengar exclaimed in surprise, pointing at the old man who had revealed his true form.

"Genga?!"

It was all a disguise?!

Blaine laughed and said to Gengar, "That's a normal reaction!"

Jinghe: Can I pretend I don't know them?
However, Jinghe felt that Xia Bo's appearance was both unexpected and reasonable.

after all.

Of all the Rockets' undercover agents, only Xia Bo remains untouched.

Jinghe also knew something about Xia Bo.

In the special episode, Blaine has a close relationship with Mewtwo and Entei.

Especially Mewtwo, because in the special episode, part of Mewtwo's genes came from Blaine (so baldness is contagious, right?).

Therefore, there is a strong connection between Mewtwo and Blaine, which makes Blaine one of the few trainers who can command Mewtwo.

of course.

He was under considerable pressure because of this, and even his body was pushed to its limit. In the end, he was saved by Emperor Yan with the "fire of life".

However, based on Mewtwo's description of the dream, and information about Dream One and Charmander One, it seems...
The Mewtwo in this world should be the one from "Mewtwo Strikes Back," and its creator is Dr. Fuji.

Therefore, Blaine couldn't possibly pull out Mewtwo.

As for Emperor Yan, that's even more impossible.

But there is no doubt that Blaine's strength is considerable.

After all, according to the Pokémon design, Blaine should correspond to Ryube from the Johto region.

just.

Blaine is not only a gym leader, but also a well-known researcher.

Within the Rockets, his role is more that of a researcher than a player.

and.

He appears to be the only trainer to have used both "Small Flame Burst" and "Medium Flame Burst".

Dojo Trainer?
Upon hearing Jing He reveal Xia Bo's identity, the Ice Six-Tailed Fox, the Master Blacksmith, and the Hakuryu immediately perked up.

Especially Hakron.

After evolving, it was eager to see just how strong it was now.

I could feel the little ones' enthusiasm.

Jinghe sighed inwardly.

Alright, since you all have such a strong desire to fight.
He took a deep breath, his gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:
"Please accept my gym challenge, Gym Leader Blaine!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Blaine paused for a moment, glanced at the "Crimson Badge" in his hand, silently put it away, and smiled, saying:

"Right on my mind!"

I'll finish writing the battle guide tomorrow!
