Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 280 We are—Champions! (Seeking monthly votes!)
crush.

A complete and utter crushing defeat.

It's clear that Emboar is Guderian's starter Pokémon.

As starter Pokémon, the difference between Gengar and Emboar is far too obvious.

The reason why the Flame King's health bar was emptied by that Shadow Ball was because one health bar was its limit, not the limit of that Shadow Ball.

If you add one or even two more tubes, the result will be the same.

However, although the battles looked easy, the audience still found them very exciting and worth the trip.

After all, who usually sees such a huge Shadow Ball, such an exaggerated Water Cannon, and such absolute freezing power?
The Quartz Conference finals truly lived up to their name; Teacher Jinghe delivered a thrilling spectacle for the audience!
Although it's a baby cup competition, he really didn't hold back.

"Guderian, you have only one Pokémon left!"

Only after the commentator reminded them did the audience realize what was happening.

Before you know it, your opponent only has one Pokémon left?
Is Coach Jinghe going to shut out his opponent again?

Guderian smiled helplessly.

What is he struggling with?
However, even though Gengar is already in this state, Teacher Jinghe still hasn't taken it back.

Could it be that I have a chance to replace one?
If that's the case, he might have a chance to achieve the greatest feat of this Indigo League – defeat one of Jinghe's Pokémon!

Think of this.

He immediately regained his energy.

"It's up to you now, Haxorus!"

Olive-colored, hard armor, and scarlet, massive teeth like axes.

Upon seeing the double-axe war dragon, Jing He raised an eyebrow slightly.

This is a Pokémon that Guderian has never summoned in previous rounds. Judging from this, it seems that this Haxorus is Guderian's true trump card.

"They were still holding back," Jing He murmured.

It's a pity it was Haxorus instead of Hydreigon; otherwise, with a surprise attack, Guderian might have actually had a chance to forcibly replace Gengar.

The main reason is that Gengar expended too much energy in that battle.

To be honest, this was the first time Jinghe had ever seen Gengar release a Shadow Ball of that size.

"Rotom, are you really not going to play?"

"Loto!! _(:°з」∠)_"

There's nothing we can do about it.

"Double Axe Dragon, Dragon Dance!" Guderian chose to start with an enhanced attack without hesitation.

Even if Gengar could share the pain to even out its stamina with Haxorus, at most both of them would only lose more than half of their stamina.

Moreover, judging from Gengar's current state, it's clear that it can no longer use Shadow Balls of that scale.

If things go wrong, we might not even be able to release the Stand, and that would be an opportunity!

All I want is a chance for Haxorus to touch Gengar.

"Roar--!!"

The double-axe dragon spread its arms wide, and a peculiar rhythm spread out from it. Its already ferocious aura suddenly surged, and its roar resounded throughout the entire arena.

"Wow, he looks really brave!"

"Isn't this double-headed axe dragon Guderian's real trump card?"

"Has he not given up yet?"

"Charge! Double-axe dragon, pull that wicked Teacher Jinghe off his horse!"

The audience highly praised his perseverance.

but.

Jinghe did not play the game as everyone expected.

If you're a seasoned card player and you can guess all my cards, then what's the point of playing?
"Gengar, one more time!"

One more time?!

Guderian stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The Haxorus, now in a "do it again" state, began its Dragon Dance once more.

[One More Time: For the next period of time, the target can only use their last move.]

in the audience.

Cynthia couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Because the Garchomp beside her had begun to grit its teeth, making a "crunching" sound.

Good guy.

One Dragon Dance isn't enough, you insist on making the other party do it four or five times in a row, right?

foreseeable.

Garchomp and Gengar will inevitably have another "life-or-death battle" later.

The other audience members in the stands, however, reacted much more strongly.

"Alright, alright, now you finally remember you're a 'tactical mastermind'."

"I feel sorry for the Haxorus for three minutes. It had to keep awkwardly dancing in front of so many people."

"Teacher Jinghe said: Keep playing the music, keep dancing!"

On the field.

The expected move arrived late.

"To share the pain."

Only then did Gengar finally share the burden of the fight with Haxorus.

While still in Dragon Dance mode, the Haxorus felt as if something had been inexplicably drained from its body, leaving it feeling somewhat fatigued.

But the Dragon Dance continues!

Is it going to be piled up to the brim?

"Electromagnetic waves," Jing He commanded again.

Having regained some of his strength, Gengar once again revealed his signature wicked grin, raised his hand, and sent a wisp of swirling electricity flying towards Haxorus.

Shila-

The leaping blue-purple arcs of electricity indicate that the Haxorus has fallen into a state of "paralysis".

But this is not enough.

"Toxic."

This inhuman scene gave many viewers goosebumps.

Is the complete scene that couldn't be shown on the Thunder Dragon King Scorpion finally going to appear on the Haxorus?

The thick, viscous, highly toxic venom entered the Haxorus's body the moment it came into contact with it.

A faint purple light appeared on the olive-green armor.

"Will-o'-the-wisp."

bang bang-

A ghostly blue flame exploded on the still-dancing Haxorus.

For a while.

The audience was silent.

This is inhuman! Absolutely inhuman!
That's incredibly polite!

How to do?
"Gengar, strange light?"

As if sensing the strange atmosphere on site, Jing He lowered his voice slightly when giving instructions.

One more time, paralysis, poison, burning, confusion.
When the Haxorus finally finished its awkward dance and gained a lot of buffs, it also gained even more debuffs.

even.

Even the double-axe war dragon was starting to lose its sense of direction.

Guderian didn't know how to command anymore.

Jinghe sighed.

Let's just be good people.

"Let's end this, Gengar. Misfortunes never come singly."

finally.

With a relieved expression, the Haxorus collapsed heavily onto the field.

Guderian felt a mix of emotions as he retrieved the weapon, filled with guilt towards the Twin Axe Dragon, and almost slapped himself.

They shouldn't have even entertained such a crooked idea as trying to defeat Teacher Jinghe's Pokémon!
The arena, which had been silent ever since the Double-Haxe Dragon was hit with the negative status effects, remained completely quiet.

It seemed as if none of the audience had yet been able to react.

The finals are over?
"The ultimate winner of this year's Quartz Convention has been decided!! He is—"

Until the commentator's slightly slow-to-react voice echoed throughout the arena. Boom!

For an instant.

The entire stadium, and even the area outside the stadium, was in a frenzy.

boom! boom! boom! ——

Countless fireworks and cannons exploded, and colorful, shimmering ribbons fell from the sky.

"Teacher Jinghe is awesome (voice cracks)!!"

The new champion of the Quartz Conference – Jing He!
"Hahaha—" Professor Oak, sitting in the guest seats, let out a hearty laugh.

He saw a reflection of himself in Jing He.

Back when he first participated in the League Conference, his Kangaskhan was also very unreasonable.

"Teacher is the champion!" Asha jumped up from her seat, as if she were the champion.

Daigo, Dujuan, and Adu all stood up, clapping and cheering to celebrate Jinghe.

Jia Deliya pouted, somewhat reluctantly, but in her heart, Jing He's strength had already earned her recognition.

“We won.” Cynthia smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Looking at Jinghe bathed in the colorful rain, Xiaozhi clenched his fists and said, "Just you wait!"

"I will definitely become the champion of the tournament!"

The enthusiastic cheers continued, growing louder and louder with no sign of stopping.

"Genga~~"

Gengar hopped and skipped toward Jinghe.

Amidst hundreds of cameras, Jing He smiled as she threw out a Poké Ball.

"Everyone, come out."

Gengar, wearing sunglasses, had a wide grin that stretched from his mouth to his ears.

The nine tails were fully extended and then wrapped around Jing He's arms and neck.

The hammer-wielding blacksmith girl.

The Hakron spreads its wings and flies behind Jinghe.

The bear apprentice, still in a horse stance, was not asleep.

And there's Rotom, circling around Jinghe and the others.

“Rotom, take a picture for us,” Jing He said.

"No problem, Loto! ╰(*︶`*)╯"

It's very good at taking pictures.

However, it looked at Gengar with some concern.

Jinghe smiled and patted Gengar's head, saying, "It's alright."

Rotom nodded, somewhat skeptical.

really?
"After you've set the shutter, remember to come over and take a group photo together," Jinghe reminded him.

"Lo...Loto?"

"I'm not kidding. How can we participate in this tournament without you? Even though you don't like fighting, we're a team." Jing He said with a smile.

Gengar and Ninetales also smiled and spoke to Rotom.

Yeah yeah!

What does it matter whether you battle or not? Not all Pokémon enjoy battling anyway.

"Loto!!"

Rotom blushed and nodded emphatically.

"Come on, get ready."

As Jing He spoke softly, the little ones immediately crowded around him with smiles.

He took a deep breath.

After Rotom was positioned, it immediately floated over, with a wisp of golden electricity connecting it to the Pokédex.

three!
“We are—” Jing He shouted.

two!
"哓GA!"

"Ouch!"

"precisely!"

"Hooo!"

"Kuku!"

champion!!
One!

Click——! !

Amidst the colorful rain of silk ribbons, the scene of Jinghe hugging and laughing with the little ones was captured on camera.

Quartz Conference Champion, Ice Sculpture Competition Champion.

Good, good, now that he has two "champion" titles, Jing He can say something like this whenever he encounters a league champion in the future—

Who isn't a champion?

Amidst cheers, the Quartz Convention came to a close.

However, even after the competition ended, there was still a very important ceremony.

That was the awards ceremony.

Amidst the attention of everyone, Jinghe led the little ones onto the podium.

The award was presented to them by Professor Oak, a predictable authority in the Pokémon research field.

"Jinghe, and your Pokémon, congratulations on winning the championship of this tournament!"

Professor Oak congratulated him with a cheerful smile, handing Jing He a huge trophy, representing the champion, into his hands.

The Gengar and the others stared longingly at Professor Oak.

The trophy is great, but what about the prize?

Seeing this, Professor Oak quickly took out a silver-white feather from his clothes.

"This is a silver feather. I believe it will be able to play its proper role in your hands."

Jinghe: ?

Jinghe subconsciously took the feather from Professor Oak, a question mark appearing on her head.

No.

What good are Lugia's feathers?
Do you really want me to make a feather fan?

and many more.

"Professor Oak, the prize for the tournament champion... it couldn't be..."

Gengar narrowed its eyes slightly, revealing a hostile gaze.

If the prize for the tournament is just a tattered feather, even if you're Professor Oak, I'd be furious!

Grandma Kikuko even said she'd let it help teach you a lesson!

Upon hearing this, Professor Oak laughed heartily and said:

"Don't worry, this feather isn't part of the champion's prize; consider it a congratulatory gift from me."

As soon as these words came out.

Jinghe and the little ones breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, all that work wasn't for nothing.

"Teacher Jinghe, shall we take a picture together to remember this moment?"

At this moment, a staff member from the alliance stepped forward with a camera.

"Lotto?"

Rotom's Pokédex snapped out of its daze.

It was still confused about why Gengar hadn't activated its conceptual ability.

Just right.

The photos taken by the alliance staff can be used for verification.

A large number of media workers also stepped forward, ready to capture this historic moment.

"Okay, let's take a picture!"

Professor Oak stood next to Jing He and smiled as he agreed.

Jinghe glanced at the feather in her hand and asked softly:
"Professor Oak, can I get cash instead?"
