Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 261 The Last Badge and the Shadow (Seeking monthly votes!)

When Jing He returned to Hua Lan City, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Unfortunately, the editing and review process for "Meow Meow and Pichu" did take a lot of time, but even so, it was still a very fast process.

Of course, the most important thing was signing some sponsorship contracts.

For example, advertisements for MooMoo milk from Goldenrod Farm, advertisements for the Goldenrod City Breeding Center, Pokémon clothing, Pokémon products, etc.
An advertisement for paid high-toxicity experiments in Asakusa City (crossed out).
Advertising Yu Hong's human body flower arrangement models is something we could consider.

In short, Jinghe received all sorts of advertising and sponsorship offers, big and small, but turned down nearly half of them.

There's no way around it, some advertisements are just too inhumane.

However, according to Zhenniao's estimate, Jinghe should be quite wealthy for a while once the advertising sponsorship fees arrive.

This delighted Jinghe, and caused him to delay the process a little longer.

So when Jinghe returned to Cerulean City, the water ballet performance at Cerulean Dojo had already ended, which he found quite regrettable.

Cerulean Dojo is famous for its water ballet, especially the three Cerulean sisters, whose costumes are all white.
However, after the water ballet performance, it was the perfect time to challenge the dojo.

This can be considered Jinghe's first real initiative to challenge a dojo in the Kanto region.

At the entrance of Hualan Dojo.

"哓GA!"

Gengar, wearing sunglasses, stood in front of the gym, grinning and making a "V" sign.

click-

The Rotom Pokédex took a picture.

Gengar let out two strange "ga-ga" laughs, rubbed its fists together, and prepared to challenge the "strongest" gym in the Kanto region!
Just as Jinghe and his group were about to enter the dojo, they encountered a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old who walked out with a cold face.

The arrogant face and purple hair made Jinghe subconsciously think of someone: Ash's rival, Shinji, from the Sinnoh region!

The other party also saw Jing He and his group, glanced at them, snorted coldly, and left.

"Gen, genga."

That brat is so arrogant.

Even Gengar couldn't help but complain.

"How dare you talk about others like that?" Jing He shook her head, looking at Gengar, who was wearing sunglasses and trying to look cool.

However, judging from his age, that boy shouldn't be Shinji, since Ash is just a kid.
Is it Lei Si?
Shinji's older brother?
As far as I can remember, before being trained by Daigo, Raiji had collected all the badges from the four regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, and challenged the regional leagues in each region.

Finally, during the challenge battle in the Frontier Zone, after being taught a lesson by the three Divine Pillars of Age of Gods, they became obedient.

"Hmph! What kind of person is he? He'll never find a girlfriend in his entire life!"

At that moment, a girl with short apricot hair, wearing a yellow cropped t-shirt and light blue denim shorts with suspenders, angrily walked out of the dojo.

He unleashed the most vicious curse upon the arrogant boy who had gone far away.

After speaking, he noticed Jing He standing to the side, Gengar with its mouth agape and a look of astonishment on its face, and Ninetales taking two steps back.

Gengar and Ninetales exchanged a glance.

What a strong aura!
Is this the leader of the strongest dojo in Kanto?
However, Jinghe recognized the girl at a glance: Misty, one of the original trio from the Pokémon series, nicknamed "Land Gyarados"!

Judging by appearance alone, she seems to resemble the animated version of Misty, but her age seems to fit the special episode's Misty better.
So, will she have a tragic love affair with Crimson, or with Ash?
It's hard to say.

"You are Teacher Jinghe?!" Xiaoxia blinked, her face full of surprise.

"you know me?"

Jing He was slightly taken aback.

"In Carlos, at the ice sculpture competition, Kona and you, Teacher Jinghe, participated together. I watched the live broadcast of the competition," Xiaoxia said with a smile. "A compliment from Articuno, that ice sculpture was absolutely perfect!"

"Moreover, Teacher Jinghe, your 'song-destroying tactic' that you shared online before gave me a lot of inspiration."

Upon hearing this, Jing He seemed to understand.

Right.

Xiaoxia is a big fan of Kona.

"Um," Xia's cheeks flushed slightly as she twirled her fingers and whispered, "Teacher Jinghe, could you help me... get to know Sister Kona?"

He had completely lost his previous fierce demeanor.

Gengar and Ninetales exchanged another glance: Such a fast change of expression!

"no problem."

Jinghe agreed without hesitation.

As long as it doesn't involve getting to know Red and Ash, everything is negotiable.

Anyway, given Kona's cold exterior and girlish heart, she and Misty should have a lot in common.

"Oh right, Teacher Jinghe, what's going on here?" Xiaoxia finally realized.

Jing He tilted her head slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "Ahem, challenge the dojo."

"Challenge the gym?!" Xiaoxia's eyes widened suddenly.

"Gengga! Gengga!"

At this moment, Gengar jumped out, hands on hips, looking quite imposing.

Even if you are the strongest gym in Kanto, we are not afraid at all!

Upon seeing Gengar, Xiaoxia suddenly realized, "So... that challenge yesterday was issued by Teacher Jinghe and your team?"

As she spoke, she pulled a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket, with a Gengar's handprint printed in the middle.

No.

How did you figure out that this was a challenge?

There's clearly only one handprint, right?

The same thing happened on the poster in the coffee shop. Gengar only pressed a handprint, how could it reveal so much information?
Jinghe suddenly felt that she might not be able to communicate properly.

"Genga~~"

Gengar nodded.

That's right! It was me who placed the order!

Xiaoxia scratched her head, "But that arrogant guy just finished his challenge, and now all the sisters' Pokémon are injured and need to be sent to the Pokémon Center."

"Genga?"

"Ouch?"

Gengar and Ninetales turned their heads to look in the direction the boy had just left.

Is this young man really that brave?
The Pokémon from the strongest gym have all been relegated to the Pokémon Center?

"So," Xiaoxia rummaged through her pockets a few more times before taking out a deep blue, teardrop-shaped badge and handing it to Jinghe.

Please accept this badge!

Gengar:? ? ?
Ice Nine-Tailed Fox: ? ? ?

So careless?

Jing He smiled and accepted the badge, saying, "Thank you so much."

"No trouble at all, we can't win anyway."

Giving away badges directly is not only a characteristic of the Sinnoh Coast City Electric City, but also a characteristic of the Cerulean Gym and the Cerulean Sisters.

It is said.

Shimi, one of the current Elite Four of the Kalos region, helped clean up the Cerulean Gym when he was preparing to challenge it, and was thus awarded a badge.

When Jinghe and Xiaoxia exchanged phone numbers and left with the "blue badge," Gengar and Ninetales still looked bewildered.

The expressions of the two Pokémon are exactly the same as those of Misty's Psyduck.

That's it?

They've been waiting for this "strongest" gym for so long, and they just got the badge like this?

I suddenly had the illusion that I had punched cotton.

Finally, Gengar and the others came to the conclusion—

It's all that arrogant guy's fault!

[Badges collected. Do you need to register your information to participate in the Quartz Convention Loto?]

After obtaining the last "blue badge," the Rotom Dex provided a reminder.

Does the encyclopedia have this function?

[Reminder: Only 2 days left to register!]

"Genga!" (Hurry up and sign up!)

Gengar seemed even more anxious than Jinghe.

The champion's prize is twelve million! That could buy so many bottles of fresh milk.

"But, registration requires six Pokémon, Loto!"

stare!
Gengar, Ninetales, Greatsmith, Dragonair, Ursaring, and Jinghe all turned their attention to it.

The Pokédex trembled slightly, and a question mark slowly appeared on it.

Rotom:?

"Please, Rotom," Jing He said with a smile, "help me fill in the numbers."

【Clearly, clearly, Loto! (ω)】

quickly.

[Quartz Convention Registration Completed, Participant: Jing He!]

Registration successful.

"Hmm, there are still a few days before it starts, what should we do?"

Jinghe gently rubbed her chin.

Training is definitely necessary to prepare for the tournament, but no matter how you look at it, Kanto doesn't seem like a place where he can train properly.

Just as Jing He was thinking, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed it was Professor Oak.

After being connected.

"Haha, Jinghe, I saw that you signed up for this year's Indigo League." Professor Oak's hearty laughter came from the phone.

and many more.

Professor Oak, you're not going to participate too, are you?

In the special episode, when Red and his friends first participated in the League Tournament, Professor Oak dressed like a royal masked man and also participated in the tournament.

"I just registered," Jing He said.

"Then you'd better hurry up and register at Indigo Plateau. Registration and application deadlines are on the same day," Professor Oak reminded him.

Quartz Plateau is located in the first half of the Shirogane Mountains from south to north, where both the Kanto Alliance and the Johto Alliance are situated.

It is also the venue for the Quartz Convention.

The latter half of Mt. Silver is incredibly difficult, with exceptionally powerful wild Pokémon that only top-tier trainers can enter.

"Do we still need to register?" Jinghe nodded. "Okay, we should have enough time."

"Come on over, I'll introduce you to a few people," Professor Oak said with a smile before hanging up the phone.

Let me introduce a few people.
"Anyway, let's rent a car first, and then go to Baiyin Mountain."

Sunset dusk.

The setting sun cast a thin orange veil over the entire city, and as the light slanted, the shadow of the Rotom SUV stretched longer and longer.

Gengar, sitting in the passenger seat without a driver, drooped its head.

"Genga~~(︿)" (I'm not happy)
"Let's watch a few episodes of TV," Jinghe suggested.

Gengar pouted. "The Adventures of Bubble Squirrel" hasn't been updated yet, and I haven't had time to catch up on new shows lately. I'd rather play with my "electronic pet."

"Genga?"

Eh?
After playing for a while, Gengar suddenly lowered its head and hid its head under the car.

What's going on? Why does it feel like there's something in the shadow?
However, that feeling quickly disappeared.

Illusion?
Behind the SUV, beyond the elongated shadow, in a secluded grove of trees where no one noticed.

A slightly darker black shadow slowly emerged, coalescing into a small, human-like figure.

This Pokémon, emerging from the shadows, was as black as ink, with its eyes gleaming like torches.

In its hand, it was still clutching a small stick it had picked up from under the tree, its expression serious.

But its expression quickly softened.

Discard the small wooden stick.

Scratching his head.

It's strange.
Why did I just sense an extremely evil aura?

Can.
Why is the "Rainbow Feather" still sparkling?
