Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 210 Gengar: Just a Shiny Finch (Seeking monthly votes!)
"This is the 'Crimson Badge,' which signifies that you have passed the Crimson Gym's test."

Sweating profusely, Xia Bo handed Jing He a crimson badge, as red as a flame.

How many is this?

"Genga~~"

Gengar took the badge and played with it in his palm.

"and this."

As is customary, Blair then pulled out a move-learning machine.

"This is."

"Big Character Explosive Flame!" Xia Bo laughed heartily.

"I have some experience with this move. After my improvements, its power should be even greater."

Even if you get knocked away, there are still "medium-sized explosive flames" and "small-sized explosive flames", right?
However, Jinghe would naturally not refuse such a powerful fire-type move.

First they got "Thunder", and now they've got "Big Flame Burst". The learning machines for these two moves alone are worth over a million.

Not to mention that in addition to the move learning machine, it also comes with personal tips from Lt. Surge and Blaine.

But that's just how it is.
The price of the materials needed to learn these two moves was giving him a headache.

and.

Whether it's "thunder" or "exploding flames," the noise and activity involved in studying is inevitably quite significant.

Jinghe is starting to worry about her house.

In particular, only Dragonair can learn "Fireball," and Dragonair's luck is limited when not in battle.
It seems quite normal to order from home.

We left the dojo.

The cool night breeze made the two, who were drenched in sweat, breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at Xia Bo, who was pale and looked completely exhausted, Jing He couldn't help but ask:

"Master Xia, are you alright?"

"fine!"

With his lips turning slightly pale, Xia Bo waved his hand magnanimously and said, "This is already the coolest battle we've ever had."

Jinghe's expression was strange.

I had heard that Blaine, the gym leader of Cinnabar Island, didn't like challengers coming to challenge him, and that's why he disguised the gym as a hot spring inn.

He had always thought that gym leaders like Blaine and Denji disliked weak challengers.

Now it seems
It's because every challenge leaves you exhausted!

Why did they have to build the gym's battleground inside a volcano?
"Teacher Jinghe, would you like to go to a hot spring to relax?"

Xia Bo stretched, his body making a "crackling" sound.

"Um, I just remembered I forgot to turn off the gas at home. Master Xia, I'll be going now!"

Jinghe and Gengar flew away quickly.

Watching them leave, Xia Bo smacked his lips.

"It's great to be young. You still have so much energy after a match."

The moonlight was bright, the water was babbling, and the rhythmic "patter" of bamboo echoed in the secluded courtyard.

She declined Xia Bo's invitation to go to the hot springs together.

Jinghe, who was also covered in sweat, still took the little ones to soak in the hot spring for more than half an hour.

Leaning on the bare, smooth limestone, Jinghe looked at the four little ones playing in the water with a gentle gaze.

Both Vulpix and Dragonair were slightly injured, but after being sprayed with a large amount of healing and burn spray, they have almost recovered.

Now he can even play in the hot springs, which shows that he is in pretty good condition.

Jinghe gently stroked the tail of the dragon that was draped to the side.

He was thinking about something.

If the Hakkaron can fly, can it be ridden? Can it carry people?
Theoretically.

With the size of this Hakkar dragon, carrying people should be a piece of cake, as long as you hold on tight and don't slip off.

Really can't do
Gengar should be able to take over as well.

"Without realizing it, the little ones have all grown up."

Jinghe felt a little emotional.

Gastly evolved into Gengar, Tinker evolved into Crafty, and Dratini evolved into Dragonair.

Although the six-tailed fox did not evolve.

But it has grown from a shy and timid little creature that hid in the garbage heap and dared not come out, to the point that it dares to face the Nine-Tails, and even withstand and defeat it.

When it fought the Nine-Tailed Fox, the look in its eyes that hoped Jing He wouldn't replace it back made Jing He realize the little guy's changes and growth.

The growth of Pokémon is not just about evolution.

Of course, evolution is a leap in life, a transformation in the essence of life.

But Jinghe places even greater emphasis on the children's mental transformation and growth.

Whether or not they evolve is the little guys' own choice.

All he can do is take good care of these little creatures.

“Gengar,” Jinghe suddenly called out.

"Genga?"

Gengar, disguised as a ghost fountain, cast its gaze upon the scene, and gurgling water flowed from its mouth.

Jinghe's eye twitched.

Could I have already been poisoned?
"How many badges have we collected?" he asked.

Hear the words.

The four little ones crowded around, and eight colorful badges of various designs were laid out on the ground beside the hot spring.

Two of them are the "Rock Badge" from the Hoenn region and the "Rising Dragon Badge" from the Johto region.

The little ones chattered excitedly about which badges they had earned, each one carrying a hint of pride.

"Badges are not only medals of a trainer's skill, but also badges of honor for Pokémon." Jinghe had gained a deeper understanding of badges.

Subsequently.

They have temporarily removed the "Rock Badge" and the "Rising Dragon Badge".

“Hey, skilled blacksmith, the ‘pink badge’ is also from Kanto.”

"Chirp?"

The skilled blacksmith blinked and put the "pink badge" back with a look of "disdain".

The badge they gave me was really useless.

"Genga~~"

Six already.

Gengar, which only has six fingers, counted them and found that they were just enough.

"Ooh?"

Are we just two more needed?

"Ah."

Jinghe gently rubbed her chin against his.

Only Cerulean Gym and Pewter Gym remain.

Gengar shouted excitedly:

"哓GA!"

When did you go and pick them out? Jing He glanced at it sideways and said irritably, "It's not that simple."

Faced with the questioning looks from the four little ones, he picked up the badges from the ground one by one.

He said it in a very formal and methodical manner:

"You've all seen how strong the Gym Leaders in the Kanto region are, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, the little ones all became serious.

Even they had heard the rumor that the dojos in the Kanto region were the most difficult to beat.

In fact, they all felt the difficulty of challenging the Kanto Dojo.

"So."

Jing He's face tightened even more, and she said without blushing or panting:

"The last two dojos are the most difficult!"

The little ones all looked rather serious.

Well known.

The best food is saved for last, and the hardest part is often the last.

"It seems the last two gyms are hellish in difficulty," they thought to themselves.

"Your strength may not be weak against other dojos, but against these two remaining ones, I can only say... you still need to train."

"哓GA!"

Led by Gengar, the four little guys all nodded seriously.

I still need to practice.
"Now then!"

Jinghe stood up from the hot spring pool with a "splash" and wrapped herself in a bath towel.

Training?
The little ones cast eager glances their way.

Let's go get some late-night snacks!

Eh?
"You need to eat well to sleep well, and you need to sleep well to train better!"

Oh~~
I always feel like something is wrong.

But upon closer inspection, it seems there's no problem.

Because of the volcano.

There is no airport on Red Lotus Island.

So the next day, Jinghe and his group took a small ferry, crossed a strait, and arrived at Zhenxin Town.

Jing He was skeptical about the training for Hakron manned flight and dared not attempt it.

Instead of entering Pallet Town, he planned to take a bus outside the town directly to Viridian City.

After arriving in the Kanto region, he inexplicably had a feeling that he might be challenged from time to time.

If I had to say, the Kanto region is probably the place with the highest enthusiasm for PvP among all regions (tested by Shorts Boy and Bug Catcher).

He was afraid of running into Professor Oak when he entered Pallet Town, but the old man suddenly got interested and said he wanted to spar with him.

Moreover, the old man was so enthusiastic about Gengar that even Gengar was a little afraid of him.

So they simply crossed over Pallet Town.

However, before arriving at the station, one still needs to cross a large grassland.

The winter sun was warm, and the grass rustled gently across the vast wilderness.

"Actually, it's still possible for Dark Grey Gym and Cerulean Gym to play before the tournament starts, so I might as well go home and sleep in," Jinghe thought chuckled.

After all, he didn't know much about the Quartz Convention's start date and prizes, so there was no need to rush.

more importantly.

The tournament requires six Pokémon, but he only has four, so collecting all the badges won't help.

But the little ones seemed very enthusiastic.

"哓GA!"

Gengar made a trumpet shape with its hands and shouted from a high slope.

Jinghe glanced at it sideways, "Why are you so excited?"

He immediately waved at it.

"Come here, let me try riding it."

"Gen, genga? Σ(дlll)"

Are you serious?
Jing He smiled.

Look how scared you are, you unruly little fat boy.

suddenly.

Jinghe and the little ones all looked towards the woods on the side.

"twitter!!"

A vast flock of fiery sparrows, resembling a black cloud, swept across the sky, flapping their wings rapidly as if startled, their crimson eyes locking onto Jing He and the others.

Jinghe couldn't help but press the bridge of her nose.

They forgot that the area outside Pallet Town was their territory.

However, they only bully Ash and Pikachu when they first debuted.

Shila-

"Ooh~~"

A sudden "blizzard" appeared.

"Roar~~"

Hakron also sat up, and flashing arcs of electricity jumped from the small horn on its head.

One hundred thousand volts!

Golden lightning bolts shot out from below, tearing a huge gap in the dark clouds.

The peacocks fell like rain, "pitter-patter."

After the "snowstorm," a beautiful rainbow streaked across the clear sky, its huge and magnificent bird tail feathers brushing past, accompanied by sparkling specks.

"Chirp!!"

The skilled blacksmith shouted excitedly, then immediately bowed his head.

Where is the stone?

"Genga?"

Gengar rolled its eyes in annoyance.

What's there to get excited about? It's just a shimmering peacock that's never seen anything like it.

But it's quite pretty.

But Jinghe wasn't so calm.

He gazed at the magnificent figure in the sky and murmured, "Yes, the cameraman!"

Six-tailed Fox and Dragonite looked on in realization.

Oh, he's a "cameraman".

The creature that appeared in the rainbow was none other than the legendary Pokémon, Ho-Oh!
It is said that Ho-Oh only appears in front of honest trainers, and no one has ever seen Ho-Oh in its entirety; it exists only in legends.

Thinking of this rumor, Jing He raised an eyebrow.

"I really am an honest trainer."
