Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 264 Gengar and Elite Four Member Akiko (Seeking monthly votes!)

Don't be discouraged, the future is yours.

When shaking hands with Daejeon in the middle of the field, Jinghe comforted him.

"Thank you, Teacher Jinghe."

Hearing him say that, Da Tian felt much better.

Indeed, he is at least a bit younger than Jing He.

There are still more good people than bad in the world.
boo~
Just then, the bear apprentice's snot bubble burst, and it rubbed its eyes, yawned, and woke up.

"Ku?" (Has the fighting started?)

Jinghe's eye twitched.

Although Da Tian didn't hear what Xiong's apprentice was saying, he saw it in the expression. He was immediately struck a blow to his heart, his eyes reddened, and he ran away.

He also remembered that although he was younger than Jing He, he didn't seem to be much younger.

He's a famous Pokémon psychologist, tactical master, and researcher at such a young age, easily defeating three opponents with a single sleep spell in battle. And what about me?

This is truly a world full of malice!
Watching Da Tian run away, Xiong's apprentice blinked and looked at Jing He.

"Ku?" (What's wrong with him?)

Jing He took a slight breath.

You truly live up to your reputation as a disciple of the bear. It's one thing to physically and psychologically attack Pokémon, but now you're even psychologically attacking Trainers.

So it's really a critical hit every time?
in the audience.

“What a miserable Daejeon”

"This incident teaches us a lesson: never fight against your teacher."

"If you absolutely must fight, then whatever you do, don't fight against your school counselor."

"As expected of Teacher Jinghe."

"."

Hearing those words and seeing Xiong's innocent eyes, Jing He looked up slightly and sighed softly.

However, despite the audience's complaints and jokes, Jing He's support rate skyrocketed.

"The only downside might be that he's too fast; Teacher Jinghe is just too fast."

"It feels like Teacher Jinghe might not have exerted his full strength."

Yes.

Jinghe felt that he hadn't even exerted his strength before his opponent had already fallen.

The apprentice probably felt the same way.
Oh, no, Xiong's apprentice had no idea that he had already finished a match and was still pestering Jing He to ask when he would go on stage.

After this match, Jinghe advanced to the round of 64.

Such a result is undoubtedly quite good for a player participating in the league competition for the first time.

To reach the top 16 in one's first major tournament, like Ash, is actually an extraordinary achievement.

Afterwards, Jinghe watched the rest of the match with Xiaozhi and the others.

Finding it not very interesting, we took the little ones to forage for food.

Upon arriving at the square, one is greeted by a bustling crowd.

Not everyone managed to snag a ticket to the game.

However, there is a large screen in the square that displays some event information, including the players who have advanced and their results.

"Raiji from the Sinnoh region swept his opponent with a 3-0 sweep!"

"Guderian's Crocodile from the Unova region is also incredibly powerful. His overconfidence is just too much, and he's taking down kids one by one."

"Ilima from Melemele Island in the Alola region is so cool! Even the Mongoose Detective can beat his opponent 3-0!"

Ilima?
Upon hearing this name, Jing He paused briefly.

She appears to be a future captain on Melemele Island in the Alola region, and later mastered "Eevee Z".

She was the first and most outstanding graduate of the Alola Pokémon Academy.

Have you joined the Kanto Challenge League as well?

Jing He had originally thought that he wouldn't run into any "acquaintances" at this conference, with Lei Si being one of the few. He hadn't expected there to be any other experts.

This was only what he overheard occasionally.

Perhaps there are also some people whose achievements are not so "explosive" but who are still familiar to the public.

"As expected, we still can't let our guard down," Jing He sighed.

After having dinner with Professor Oak and the others, Jinghe returned to the hotel in the athletes' village.

These are all arranged by the alliance and do not require any payment.

In addition, each contestant's hotel room is very large, not only for comfort, but also to allow the contestants to better communicate with their respective Pokémon.

Jinghe specially bought some cakes for the little ones and brought them back.

He sat on the sofa, drinking coffee and browsing the news.

Because of the start of the Quartz convention, most of the headlines on the Alliance's official website were dominated by news about the Quartz convention.

"It seems there's no information about the Divine Beast Man."

While muttering to himself, he handed the delicate cake to the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox lying on his lap. The little guy ate it in one bite and then gently licked Jing He's palm.

It's starting to look more and more like a canine.
However, in the past, Vulpix would eat in small bites, but now that it has evolved, it can eat small cakes one bite at a time, and its appetite and eating speed have increased dramatically.

"Awoo~~" Ice Nine-Tailed Fox smacked its lips.

It's not as good as the cake my sister makes.

Of course, Jinghe approves of Sister Aiguan's cooking skills.

"Genga~~"

Gengar didn't care so much about the taste; with a nimble flick of its tongue, it ate the cake.

"Ku?" The bear apprentice, the great blacksmith, and the dragon sat together, scratching its head in confusion.

Did I really play today?

"Chirp~~"

The master blacksmith pointed to the television, which was showing highlights from today's competition, including a scene of his apprentice Xiong defeating three opponents in his sleep.

"Roar?"

It'll be our turn tomorrow, right?

Hakron was somewhat expectant.

"There's a chance for everyone," was all Jinghe could say.

After all, he didn't know who his opponent would be tomorrow, or where the match would be held.

"Go to bed early tonight so you can perform better in the game tomorrow."

As he spoke, he put away his phone, clapped his hands, and told the little ones it was time to go to sleep.

"Genga~~"

Gengar very conscientiously ran to turn off the lights.

"Ouch~~"

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox crawled directly into Jing He's blanket, kicked its limbs a couple of times, and after covering all nine tails, it revealed a satisfied expression.

After evolving, apart from not being able to hug anymore, it's actually not so bad.
Jing He's face paled slightly.

She fell asleep not long after.

I don't know if she fell asleep or was frozen stiff.

Hakron gently tickled the soles of his feet, and after confirming there was still a response, he curled up at the foot of the bed and prepared to go to sleep.

"Genga~"

However, the restless Gengar opened its eyes with a grin and tiptoed to the window.

Anyone want to join?

A grand adventure on the Quartz Plateau!

Both the Great Forger and Hakron were somewhat interested in this, but considering they might have a match tomorrow, they ultimately decided to give up.

As for Xiong's apprentice, although he didn't seem to put in much effort today, he didn't even do push-ups after falling asleep, so he obviously wasn't going to participate. Okay.

Gui Gui helplessly shrugged.

But soon its eyes darted around, and it poked the Pokédex lying there quietly.

"Lo, Loto~~"

"Genga~~"

Gengar grinned and waved.

Stop pretending, we're all swindlers, we all know who's who, elbow!

"Loto~~(︿)"

Rotom's Pokédex is taking a picture of Gengar.

It's being broadcast live!

The title of the live stream was: Gengar takes you to explore the Quartz Plateau at night!
If Jinghe were here, she would definitely exclaim, "Wow!"

Gengar learned this from the Galar region.

In the Galar and Padilla regions, many trainers, including gym leaders, stream live to help more people learn about these two new areas.

Especially in the Galar region, where battle live streaming culture is prevalent, almost every gym leader is a skilled streamer.

For example, the famous "Weathering With You" Chibana.

There's also the gym leader of Spiketown, "Melancholy Nie Zi," a musical genius.

Her younger sister, Mary, has an even larger "fan club" that calls itself the "Shouting Club".

In the Padilla region, the "Kiju's Amazing Stories Livestream" by Kiju, the Gym Leader of Nimbus City, is a household name.

Gengar was willing but unable to do so before, but now Rotom's addition has directly helped it start its live streaming career.

Don't say it.

Even though it was late at night, there were still quite a few people watching the live stream.

"I've seen many trainers stream, but this is truly my first time watching a Pokémon stream."

"Gengar? Is it taking us to a haunted house?"

"I have to say, Gui Gui is still adorable~~"

".."

"Genga~~"

Wearing sunglasses, Gengar had a great sense of camera presence, exploring the Quartz Plateau at night while also trying to interact with the live stream comments, showcasing his exceptional talent for live streaming.

In a distant corner.

Marcia tilted her head as she watched this scene.

"Marsha?"

It didn't understand what Gengar was doing, but it sensed that many people were watching. After thinking about it, the timid creature still didn't dare to approach.

However, after spending some time with him, it discovered that Jinghe and his Pokémon were quite interesting.

This made it, as the "Shadow Guide," feel that it was necessary to observe it a little, rather than directly annihilating it.

suddenly.

Marshall was slightly taken aback, then dove down and hid.

At the same time, the live broadcast signal suddenly dropped.

"Why did the live stream stop?"

"No signal?"

"Is it possible that we encountered a ghost?"

"Are you stupid? The streamer is a ghost!"

"Lo, Loto."

Rotom spoke up to remind him, and Gengar seemed to sense it as well.

"Genga?"

Suddenly, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, the terrifying ghostly aura surged, and countless unseen spirits seemed to be about to emerge from the ground.

"A ghost, Loto!! ()"

Rotom was so frightened that he quickly ran to Gengar's side.

However, Gengar didn't seem very scared and grabbed the Rotom Pokédex.

"Genga."

What are you afraid of? You're a ghost too.

"Yes, yes, Oroto."

Boom, boom, boom——

The sound of the cane grew louder as it approached.

An old woman with disheveled hair, leaning on a cane, hunched over, and with a gloomy face emerged from around the corner.

If Jinghe were here, he would definitely recognize that this old woman is none other than Kikuko, one of the famous Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto!
If it were Professor Oak, he might be able to recognize it when the temperature suddenly drops.

"Kid, this is not a place for you. Where is your trainer?" A slightly hoarse voice came from nearby.

however.

Gengar, upon seeing Agatha Christie, showed no fear or retreat; instead, it displayed an excited expression.

He took his phone out of his mouth, and after searching through it, he found all the battle videos of Kikuko Tenno that he had watched before.

"Genga!!" (You're that terrifying old woman!)

Even Kikuko was taken aback when she saw the phone Gengar took out.

Does she have fans?
But when she looked closely at Gengar, she discovered...
This little purple chubby boy actually has some of the traits I used to train in Gengar!
However, there are also significant differences.

In particular, the ghostly aura emanating from Gengar made Kikuko raise an eyebrow.

The ghostly aura, as heavy as that of an ancient ghost, was mixed with a sense of mystery and vastness that made her tremble.

This little purple chubby guy is probably even more talented than his own Gengar.

Although they have been trained quite well, their potential has clearly not been fully realized.

Also.

Only she could "see" this potential.

"Where is your trainer?" Elite Four member Akiko's voice softened slightly, but to outsiders it still sounded quite eerie.

"Genga~~" (She's sleeping.)
Gengar pointed in the direction of the contestant village in the distance behind it.

Kikuko's lips curled up slightly.

Its personality is very similar to its own Gengar.

This made the notoriously aloof Kikuko develop a considerable fondness for Gengar.

"Go back. This isn't a place you can go in now," Kikuko said, waving her hand.

"Genga?"

Gengar's eyes darted around.

What kind of nice place is this that you can't even enter?
Seeing this, Kikuko seemed to guess what it was thinking at a glance, and smiled sinisterly:

"Want to go in? Bring your trainer with you tomorrow, and I'll let you have a look."

Jinghe?
Gengar imitated Jinghe by gently rubbing its chin twice.

It is not impossible.

If she were to cry, make a scene, or threaten suicide, Jinghe would still give in to her.

"哓GA!"

Gengar clapped its fist.

Row!
Then he grabbed the Rotom Pokédex and waved at Akiko.

See you tomorrow, Mom!
Watching the chubby boy skip away happily, Kikuko couldn't help but smile.

She began to wonder who the Gengar's trainer was.
