Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 28 Autumn Outing (Part 3)

Fuyan Town.

Not far from the restaurant is a rather secluded and somewhat abandoned battlefield.

Looking at the site, Aysa's eyes held a hint of melancholy.

This place holds many fond memories for her.

However, she quickly put away her feelings, became energetic again, and returned to being that "passionate girl".

This scene might go unnoticed by others, but Jing He saw it.

Speaking of which, neither in the original work nor in the Aysa he knew, her parents seem to have been mentioned except for her grandfather.
"Teacher Jinghe, I won't hold back!"

Yasha is full of energy.

On the sidelines, Daigo and Dujuan, who were watching the game, expressed concern about Asa's "situation".

Trainers like Aysa, whose emotions outweigh their reason, seem to be the natural counter to psychologists like Jinghe.

If Asha were to send out her strongest Pokémon, she might be able to win by relying on her overwhelming strength, but...
"Hic, hiccup—hiccup?"

The Gastly floating in front of Jing He let out a burp, turned its head to look at Jing He, and asked a question.

Why can't we just kill her?

“You can give it a try.” Jing He’s eyes twitched slightly, but she quickly added, “Only if you’re prepared to face a former member of the Four Heavenly Kings.”

"Ku-Ku-Jie!"

Gastly: ()
Bang!
At the same time, Aysa on the opposite side threw out a Poké Ball, and a Pokémon appeared on the field amidst a flash of red light.

It looks like a black dog with obvious bony structures on its back, head, and ankles, adding a touch of ferocity to its otherwise cute appearance. Its belly and mouth are orange, and it has a short, thick tail.

The Dark/Fire type Pokémon - Houndoom!

Both Steven and Cuckoo were somewhat surprised to see this Pokémon.

They assumed Aysha would summon her recently tamed Fire Camel.

However, the Fire and Ground type Camerupt is clearly countered by Ghoul, while the Dark and Fire type Houndoom has a clear advantage simply in terms of type.

Because Gastly, a Poison or Ghost type, is twice as weak to Dark-type moves.

Moreover, if Aysa's Ruby has the "Early Bird" ability, then it will have an even greater advantage!
That way, there might be a chance!

After all, Jinghe is not a professional trainer, and he probably doesn't have much battle experience either; he only has theory.
Asha smiled excitedly. Being emotional and being silly are not directly related.

Daigo took a deep breath and announced loudly, "Let the battle begin!"

Asha swung her arm sharply, pointing in the direction of Deruby's target.

"Dairubi, bite!"

"Ow!!"

With a roar, Derubi sprang to life, its limbs moving rapidly, and wisps of deep black evil energy swirling around its somewhat immature fangs.

At the same time, a picture book about Deruby appeared in Jinghe's view.

【Dairubi】

[Type: Dark, Fire]

[Feature: Fire]

[Mastered moves: Glare, Spark, Howl, Mist, Roar, Bite, Flame Vortex, Flame Fang]

[Mood: Excited, worried (I have a vague feeling that things aren't going well)]

[Status: Excellent (Excellent training has resulted in excellent status)]

[Friendliness: 5 (Because of Asha, it has some goodwill towards humans)]

“Gastly, startled.” Jing He spoke quickly, but her tone remained calm.

One second Gastly was burping because it was too full, but the next second it quickly got into the zone, as if its previous laziness was just a facade.

Gastly is a gaseous Pokémon, so it is incredibly fast. At the same time, its body expands rapidly like a ball, transforming into a giant ghost face in the blink of an eye.

"Kou Jie!"

The sudden screams and eerie laughter, accompanied by the twisting and changing black mist, made the young Derubi feel slightly uneasy.

Jing He sighed inwardly.

Why do trainers of Dark-type Pokémon who have mastered the "Bite" move always use "Bite" as their first move?
Do you really believe that attribute advantages and disadvantages determine everything?

But this isn't a game, and the success of a move isn't solely determined by hit rate and dodge rate.

Moreover, doesn't the opponent know where their own weaknesses lie?

Despite her panic, Deruby still took a bite.

Bang! !

The teeth collided, and a few wisps of black mist slid out from between them.

What it bit was merely a small amount of gas that Gastly had expanded as it transformed into a giant ghastly face.

Daigo and Cuckoo, standing nearby, couldn't help but exchange a glance. Just now...
When Aysa made the first move, Jinghe gave the order almost at the same time. Therefore, Gastly, which was waiting in ambush, had the opportunity to influence Dewpi's judgment by using the side effect of the "Scare" move and a little "Intimidate".

Simultaneously command
Could it be that Jing He had actually anticipated Aysa and Derubi's tactics long ago?
Read it first?!
Is this still a teacher with little combat experience?
Or is this the "tactical skill" of a Pokémon psychology teacher?
They had initially thought that Jinghe would gain the upper hand by relying on Gastly's troublesome (dirty) moves, but they never expected it to happen in this way.

"curse."

Pokémon battles are not turn-based, and Jinghe, who gained the upper hand by missing her attack with Houndoom, naturally wouldn't let it go.

"Kou Jie——"

Gastly grinned maliciously, and an unseen, eerie power seemed to follow its laughter, deeply penetrating Dewpy's body and planting a seed that quickly sprouted.

“Dairubi, let’s finish this quickly!” Asha said sternly, clearly aware of the effects of the “curse.”

Wave again.

"Open your eyes wide! Then charge!"

Gastly, use Hypnosis.

The sounds rang out almost simultaneously again.

Deruby's eyes widened suddenly, and her fierce appearance sent a shiver down one's spine.

however.

What are the consequences of widening your eyes when faced with "hypnosis"?
Deruby's body trembled slightly, and after staggering a few steps, he collapsed to the ground.

"Get up, Deruby!"

Asha blushed and cried out.

Jing He stared at Dairubi on the ground for a few seconds.

It let out a slight sigh of relief after a trace of its weakened stamina, caused by the "curse" attack, lingered around it and it showed no signs of waking up.

Fortunately.

Clearly, the bond between Deruby and Aysa is not strong enough to break the "hypnosis" with a single shout.

To be honest, I didn't know this until I started playing against them. But once I started, this was the type of person Jinghe feared the most.

Doing things completely unconventionally often leads to breaking the mold.

The only people who can deal with this kind of person are probably those who are even more unconventional.

For example, a water-filled fire-breathing dragon.

"Let's end this," Jing He called a halt to the match.

“We haven’t,” Asha tried to struggle a little more.

"Ghost."

"Kou Jie~~"

Gastly then unleashed a series of attacks: "Strange Light," "Lick," "Scare," "Will-o'-the-Wisp," and "Mist."
Aysa's voice stopped abruptly.

A bead of sweat slid down her forehead.

"Take advantage of the fact that Dewpie isn't too badly affected by the 'curse' yet, otherwise we'll have to go to the Pokémon Center later."

As Jinghe spoke again, Gastly floated leisurely to his side.

When Jing He cast a glance at it, Gastly blinked knowingly and barked softly.

"Kou Jie~~"

Don't worry, I used ordinary "hypnosis".

Gastly: We're not stupid. You already said her grandfather was a former Elite Four member.

Jing He nodded slightly in relief.

Let's hope that this doesn't cause Deruby any psychological problems, and that he'll have to treat her then.

“We lost,” Asha had to accept the reality.

But Jinghe became interested in Yasha.

More accurately, he became interested in trainers like Aysa who were more emotional.

It was obvious that Aysa and Deruby hadn't gelled enough, and there was a certain discrepancy between their command and actions. He was eager to see if they could break some conventions once Aysa and Deruby had gelled better.

After all, this was the original owner's research topic.

After the battle ended, Daigo and Cuckoo entered the arena.

Du Juan tried to comfort Ya Sha, but Ya Sha was not as fragile as she had imagined and quickly cheered up again.

Looking at Jing He, he said excitedly, "Teacher, I'll challenge you again next time!"

Jing He: "."

Very good, the "intelligence" content is still increasing.
