Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 268 Master Blacksmith, You Really Are a Competition Champion (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"Let's welcome Ilima, the rider from the Alola region!"

Ilima is a boy who appears gentle and elegant, with shoulder-length light pink hair. He is dressed in a standard student outfit of a shirt and sweater vest, and is holding a tablet and a notebook in his hand, which are his homework for the competition.

Cheers erupted immediately.

"Next, let's welcome Jing He, the contestant from Hoenn Kanaz City!"

Numerous cameras around the stadium followed the handsome young man as he moved.

On the huge screen in the stadium, Jing He's face, full of a kind smile, was projected.

The cheers rose again.

It was noticeable that the proportion of female spectators in the stands was significantly higher than that of female spectators at this event.

This is the competition for the "most handsome contestant" at this Quartz Convention!
"Teacher Jinghe, kill him!"

"Go, Prince Elima!"

However, neither Ilima nor Jinghe were affected by the audience.

"Teacher Jinghe, it's finally time for me to spar with you. Please give me your guidance!" Ilima said with a smile.

“You too.” Jing He nodded.

Seeing this, Ilima sighed inwardly.

No wonder Dr. Kukui speaks so highly of Teacher Jinghe; she is indeed very approachable, completely different from the rumors circulating online about her being dirty and lacking in manners.

His purpose in attending the Indigo League was simple: to meet more trainers, learn more about Pokémon and tactics, so that he could bring change to the Alola region in the future.

In essence, Ilima's goal is similar to Dante's.

A gentle breeze swept across the grassy field, bringing a rustling sound.

The cheers from the audience gradually subsided, and everyone held their breath, eagerly anticipating the next match.

"Boys, please prepare yourselves!"

The referee raised his flag, signaling that the two could prepare their Pokémon.

“Ilima is good at Normal-type Pokémon. In terms of type, Jinghe’s Kubear should be the most suitable.”

"Or maybe Dragonair? Normal-type Pokémon aren't very good at fighting aerial opponents."

"The battle begins!"

The moment the referee dropped the flag, Ilima threw out the Poké Ball.

"Go, Inspector Mongoose!"

With its hands behind its back, the meerkat has a serious expression and wears a dark brown coat that looks like a trench coat, while the rest of its body is covered with golden fur. At first glance, it really does look like an experienced detective.

It is said that Detective Zangoose is also the partner Pokémon of Officer Jenny in the Alola region, and can assist Officer Jenny in tracking targets.

But in Jinghe's view
That serious expression, that slicked-back hair, and especially the missing corner of his right ear—he really does resemble someone from the past.

cough.

"Ilima has sent out Detective Mongoose, who swept his opponent in the first round, while Jinghe has sent out..."

"The Great Blacksmith!"

"Yay!! (。o)"

The petite and adorable blacksmith, carrying an enormous hammer, creates a striking visual impact.

In terms of type, although Greatsmith is not as good as the Fighting-type Kubfu, as a Steel-type Pokémon, it is still somewhat effective against Normal-type moves.

The battle officially began the moment both sides' Pokémon appeared.

"Master Blacksmith, sword dance!"

Jing He spoke with a smile.

Boom! !

The great blacksmith's hammer slammed heavily onto the ground, causing a slight tremor and revealing a dark red sword array that faintly appeared around him.

"Detective Mongoose, yawn!"

Ilima calmly gave instructions.

"Here it comes! Ilima's signature sleep-kill tactic! He used this move to achieve a three-in-a-row victory in the first round!"

"What a pity. If Teacher Jinghe had sent out that 'Sleepyhead Killer' bear apprentice, this tactic could have been completely ignored."

[Yawn: A yawn conveys sleepiness, causing the opponent to fall asleep after a period of time]

This is almost a guaranteed hit.

If it's Xiong's apprentice, then we can really just ignore him.

But if it's a master blacksmith...
"call--"

Detective Meerkat let out a long yawn, an invisible drowsiness spreading through him.

"just!!"

The blacksmith, carrying a giant hammer, charged toward Inspector Mongoose without hesitation, completely ignoring Inspector Mongoose's yawn.

Ilima was not surprised by this.

In fact, most opponents who are yawning will choose to launch a direct attack.

The aim is to defeat the opponent before the yawn takes effect.

so.
Ilima raised his hand, seizing the opportunity as the two closed the distance, "Detective Mongoose, hold the line!"

hum-

A layer of emerald green barrier appeared around its body.

Both Ilima and Detective Mongoose are very familiar with this tactic.

Jinghe, seeing this, was not surprised at all.

This is a standard tactic of the yawning strategy, taught in academies. The difference lies only in the trainer's timing and proficiency in the tactic.

He smiled slightly.

"Throw it out!"

"just!!"

The master blacksmith grinned, grabbed the hammer handle, and swung it with all his might. The giant hammer flew straight out of his hand to everyone's astonishment.

Like a terrifying cannonball, it was not only extremely powerful but also incredibly fast, slamming heavily onto Detective Mongoose's barrier.

Boom! !

The protective barrier shattered instantly, and the giant hammer spun and bounced back after the impact, only to be caught in the hands of the master blacksmith once again.

"Split the tiles!"

With the hammer in hand, the master blacksmith brought it down heavily from above.

Boom! !

A terrifying and enormous roar suddenly erupted, and the dust kicked up filled the entire venue. The audience in the front row even felt a slight tingling in their buttocks.

When the dust settles.

The audience members swallowed hard.

this.
This is hardly a grassy field!
Huge, spiderweb-like cracks had spread across the entire area, with rubble flying everywhere at the very center where the hammer had struck.

In the center of the crater, the once handsome Detective Mongoose lay disheveled, foaming at the mouth.

"What a terrifying power!"

"It's not just about strength, that hammer, how heavy must that hammer be?"

"Isn't that still power?! That heavy hammer was like a toy in that master blacksmith's hands."

"However, even the great blacksmith, though powerful, still yawned."

Even Daigo exclaimed in amazement:

"I'm afraid even my Aggron wouldn't be confident enough to lift this great blacksmith's hammer, Master."

Ilima's heart skipped a beat, but he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Just as the audience said.

The Great Blacksmith is already yawning. No matter how brave you are, do you really think you can fight while asleep like the Bear Apprentice?
"Go, Kangaskhan!" Ilima, having quickly regained her composure, threw out the second Poké Ball.

The marsupial is mostly brown, with grayish-yellow ears and belly, and has several bulges on its shoulders and legs. Its pouch contains its young.

"Roar!!" the Kangaskhan roared with great momentum.

The baby kangaroo in its pouch also let out a soft, babyish cry.

at the same time.

The great blacksmith's eyelids began to droop, and a wave of drowsiness kept washing over him.

This is your chance!

"Kangaroo, Fire Punch!"

Bear!!

A blazing fire erupted from the Kangaskhan's fist as it charged toward the Greatsmith with incredible speed. The audience held their breath.

At this point, choosing to replace your Pokémon is actually the best option.

However, even if a Pokémon comes in to replace it, Kangaskhan probably won't be able to dodge this "Fire Punch".

However, just as the Kangaskhan's fist was about to fall, Jinghe made the most unexpected choice.

"Master blacksmith, then take a nap."

Ok?
“Cheers~~(｀*) zzz”

The master blacksmith yawned, placed the hammer on his shoulder in front of him, and squinted, leaning against the hammer.

Amidst the blazing flames and the heavy fist, just as the Kangaskhan's fist slammed down, the Greatsmith's hammer fell, striking the Kangaskhan with tremendous force.

That would send the hammer flying along with it!
Boom! !

A fierce, scorching wind spread outwards from the kangaroo beast and the great blacksmith.

To everyone's disbelief
The Kangaskhan stood still, the flames on its fists fading.

But the master blacksmith stood still, his hammer perfectly blocking the attack.

even.

The Kangaskhan's Flame Punch couldn't leave a single mark on the hammer, not even the slightest one.
Is this hammer really made of metal?
Is Greatsmith a Steel-type Pokémon?
What metal is it made of?
Ilima's expression darkened, and he said again, "Kangaroo, attack its main body directly!"

Sorry, but our Hammer Girl's true form is a hammer.

Jing He also spoke up at this moment, "Great Blacksmith, Gravity Hammer!"

Ok?
Wasn't the master blacksmith asleep?

Suddenly, the blacksmith, who had already started snoring, opened his eyes and grabbed the hammer handle.

At such close range, it swung in a circle and slammed heavily into the Kangaskhan.

boom! !

The heavy marsupial was launched like a cannonball.

It crashed violently into the wall beneath the audience seats, embedding itself deeply within it.

Some viewers who were a little slow to react didn't even see how the Kangaskhan flew off.

Ilima's expression froze.

No.

Didn't we agree that he would be a tactical mastermind?
Where is the shadow of a tactical mastermind in this?

What a reckless brute!

And she's a brute woman!

and also
How could she wake up so quickly when she was already asleep?
I don't know.

When it comes to hypnosis, Detective Zangoose's yawn is far inferior to Gengar's or Ninetales's hypnotic abilities.

Jinghe said it was just a short rest, so it was just a matter of closing and opening her eyes.

That is, Jinghe said it needed to sleep for a while, otherwise it could have fought off its sleepiness, but it might have been a little clumsy.

When it comes to hypnosis and sleep, there are really few people in the entire Pokémon world who are better than Jinghe.

Antihypnotic training is naturally part of their daily training.

Otherwise, if Jinghe tells them a story, they might all fall fast asleep.

Professor Oak burst out laughing.

He's very skilled at this.

Oh, he wasn't familiar with the sleep-resistant great blacksmith, but with the bag-shaped beast that had been smashed away.

Ilima gritted his teeth and summoned his last Pokémon.

"Buyi~~"

A cute Eevee!

Some audience members covered their eyes and turned their heads away.

I couldn't bear to watch the adorable Eevee get smashed and sent flying.

However, Ilima is not prepared to give up so easily.

Even if he only has one Pokémon left, he won't give up!
Since yawning has little effect on the Greatsmith, let's fight back!
"Ibrahimovic, use Quick Attack and then repay the favor!"

【Return: A Normal-type move whose power depends on the friendship level between the trainer and the Pokémon, ranging from a maximum of 102 points to a minimum of 1 point】

"Buyi!!"

Sensing Ilima's attitude, little Ibrahimovic gave back in the greatest way.

Its entire body burst forth with white light as it charged toward the Great Blacksmith.

Is this about converting speed into power?

Upon seeing this, the master blacksmith smiled.

Hey, do you also like head-to-head attacks?
Perfect, I like it too!
ka ka ka-

The hammer in the great blacksmith's hand was immediately covered with thick frost.

The hammer, already more than twice its size and more than three times the size of Eevee, grew even larger, becoming a colossal creature.

The Great Blacksmith, gripping the hammer handle, took a deep breath, feeling the stimulation in his lungs, his eyes fixed on Eevee, the contents of the "Scroll of Evil" appearing in his mind.

"just!"

To the utter astonishment of the audience, the massive hammer crashed down, giving Ibrahimovic no room to dodge.

Boom! !

The entire battlefield exploded, and the grass field was completely transformed into a rock field after being hit by this blow.

Before the dust had even settled, almost everyone had already decided the outcome.

How could the delicate Eevee withstand such a blow?
"Hiss—I think I understand why Master Jinghe's master blacksmithing skills weren't particularly well-known before."

"W-How do you say that?"

"Look at this venue, how much would it cost to play a match here?"

"Hiss—you know what, you really shouldn't say that."

The audience in the front row even expressed their opinions.

It's more than just a wasteland.

It'll ruin your butt!

"Is this the Greatsmith? It's both cute and violent. I've decided to go to the Padia region to catch one!"

That will be the day when Corviknight cries out in the entire Pokémon world!
"Ibrahimovic is unable to fight!"

The referee, who got up from the ground, waved his flag.

I thought to myself, the referee treatment in the Carlos region is much better; riding the Aegislash monster, I don't have to make such a mess of things.

"The winner is Jinghe from the Hoenn region!"

In an instant.

Cheers erupted throughout the stadium.

"My youth is back! Teacher Jinghe has hit three in a row again!"

"Violence! This time it's the ultimate expression of violence!"

"Teacher Jinghe is ruthless! She doesn't even spare such an adorable Eevee! But what if I suddenly want to see a battle between Greatsmith and Alcremie?"

"You thought that was all Teacher Jinghe had to offer? Hey, guess what? There's another expert!"

The master blacksmith, carrying his hammer, ran up to Jinghe with a "clattering" sound.

“Just right~~╭(●｀●)╯”

Jing He smiled and patted the hammer. "You've worked hard. You've made a name for yourself in this battle."

He glanced at the messy field, cleared his throat, and said, "You really are a big-game player."

The master blacksmith chuckled and raised his head.

That's not the case!
Jinghe usually doesn't let it swing freely, but this time it finally swung to its heart's content, feeling relaxed and clear-headed.

At that moment, Ilima walked over.

He was slightly disappointed after losing the match, but compared to this...
"Professor Jinghe, Professor Kukui would like to invite you to the Alola Pokémon Academy to serve as the head of the Battle Department."

Ok?
Jing He isn't interested in the combat system.

Moreover, in the Alora region.
He said, "You can name your own salary."

"Well, we'll talk about it in more detail later."
