Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 284 Choosing a Pokémon (Seeking monthly votes!)
Winter has arrived.

Arriving at the academy's nursery early in the morning, Jinghe could see from afar that the grass blades were covered with a layer of white frost.

Several bouncy birds stood spiritedly on the branches; the early bird catches the worm.

"Teacher Jinghe, you're here?" Minjiang, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, smiled and waved to Jinghe.

Jing He gently adjusted her monocle and stepped forward, saying:

"Director Minjiang, don't you need to arrange the final exams?"

He noticed that Minjiang, the director of the college's academic affairs office, seemed to have very little free time, as he could see him almost every time.

But he also seems very busy, getting involved in almost everything.

“It’s all arranged,” Minjiang said casually.

However, it also shows that he is capable and therefore does a lot of work.

During this period, Minjiang was both troubled and happy.

Jinghe gained fame after participating in the Quartz Conference, prompting many students and parents to call and inquire about their college's enrollment situation.

Keep in mind that this is only winter break; the actual enrollment will not begin until the end of next summer.

Without exception, all of these phone calls were from people wanting to transfer schools, specifically expressing their desire to be in Teacher Jinghe's class.

Jinghe is just a Pokémon psychology instructor, not a major course, and he doesn't manage class affairs, so how could he be transferred to his class?
That's why he came today.

On the one hand, Jinghe was brought into the incubation room.

On the other hand, I wanted to sound him out and see if he was willing to switch to the combat system.

However, Jing He was clearly unaware of his ulterior motives, so he asked:

"This incubation room at the academy seems even bigger?"

It seems to encompass the entire back mountain of the academy.

“Hmm.” Minjiang nodded. “It is quite large. Although it’s called a cultivation center, it’s actually more than two thousand acres.”

Jing He took a deep breath.

Good guy.

They underestimated the college's financial resources.

The Emotional Academy is an auxiliary building; this Nurturing Room is the main building of the academy.

“You don’t know,” Minjiang explained with a smile, “Our academy originally started as a nurturing center.”

"Many teachers and older students at the school leave some of their Pokémon at the breeding center."

A trainer can theoretically carry six Pokémon, so what is often referred to as an all-out battle is actually a 6v6 battle.

However, this does not mean that a trainer can only carry six Pokémon.

However, this figure is based on the League's continuous investigation and information gathering over the years, which shows that an average trainer can only take care of a maximum of six Pokémon at the same time.

Therefore, Pokémon that cannot be cared for will be temporarily fostered in places like breeding centers.

Professor Oak's lab houses a large number of Pokémon.

of course.

If a trainer is confident in their abilities, they can carry all of their Pokémon with them.

Take Elite Four member Agatha Christie, for example; to this day, no one knows exactly how many Ghost-type Pokémon are hidden in her shadow.

Jinghe doesn't reject the breeding house, but if he has more than six Pokémon, he feels he should still bring them all with him.

Minjiang explained the situation of the incubation house to Jinghe as the two walked inside.

Forests, lakes, rivers, mountains, deserts.
It has a wide variety of terrains, which can meet the survival needs of most Pokémon.

“Each incubator has its own characteristics, or rather, its own area of ​​expertise.”

Minjiang continued speaking.

"For example, some breeding farms produce Pokémon that are aggressive and belligerent, while others produce Pokémon that are more docile."

"What about our academy's incubation center?" Jing He couldn't help but ask.

A hint of smugness appeared on Minjiang's face.

"And the characteristic of our academy's nurturing center is potential."

"potential?"

Jing He was taken aback upon hearing this.

“That’s right. Our academy’s breeding center is famous for its ability to fully tap into the potential of every Pokémon.”

After a brief pause, he explained:

"You know, every Pokémon has potential, but some potential is visible to the naked eye, while some potential needs to be discovered."

"Potential that is readily apparent is relatively easier to convert into strength, but deeply hidden potential requires a significant amount of time and resources to uncover."

I've said so much.

In fact, Jinghe understood.

In summary, it can be summed up in just a few sentences.

The academy has plenty of money and is willing to invest resources in training, so such Pokémon naturally have unlimited potential.

Of course, potential is not the same as strength. Whether a Pokémon's potential can be converted into strength depends on the individual abilities of the trainers.

Therefore, the old lady at the breeding center could tell at a glance that the Dratini was over-nourished and even helped to tap into its potential.

The two then arrived at a wooden house, where an elderly man with white hair and beard was exercising and doing morning exercises at the door.

"Sir, this is Teacher Jinghe," Minjiang introduced with a smile. "The principal should have already made arrangements."

"Well."

Upon seeing Jing He, the old man stopped what he was doing and said with a smile:

"I know, my wife told me that too."

"uncle."

Jinghe politely followed Minjiang's greeting and bowed slightly in acknowledgment.

"Teacher Jinghe just won the championship at the Quartz Conference. Now she's a celebrity in Hoenn." Minjiang patted Jinghe on the shoulder, looking very proud.

Next year's enrollment plan will depend entirely on Jinghe.

"Oh?" The old man at the nursery's eyes lit up. "This young man is quite good." "Don't worry, I'll definitely arrange for you to be one of the most ambitious ones."

"Thank you, uncle."

Having ambition is definitely a good thing.

"Haha, don't be shy, but it might be a little noisy."

Upon hearing this, Jing He's expression changed.

Don't!

Please don't cause any trouble.

My own home is already chaotic enough under Gengar's "leadership".

This time, Jinghe has lowered its goals and requirements.

And don't say that you must have a righteous heart and can't learn to be "bad" from Gengar and the others.

He's figured it out.

No Pokémon can stay with Gengar for long and behave itself.

Jinghe sighed inwardly, thinking about how she was such an upright, kind, and principled person.

What happened to the promise that Pokémon would become more and more like their trainers?
It's all deceptive!
“Sir, it’s best to behave yourself,” Jing He said.

"Don't worry, don't worry, they're all very cute and well-behaved little ones," the old man waved his hand.

Well, it's obvious he didn't listen at all.

At that point, you'll have to rely on your own judgment.

When it comes to Pokémon, Jinghe always values ​​first impressions. Although he has various requirements in his mind, when he actually meets a Pokémon that catches his eye, those requirements become unimportant.

Minjiang also said, "Grandpa, Teacher Jinghe is a very capable trainer. You can recommend him to him."

As she spoke, she raised an eyebrow at Jing He.

In such a breeding room, the more unconventional and "rebellious" a Pokémon is, the stronger it becomes. You must seize the opportunity!

Jinghe took a deep breath.

I almost couldn't resist letting Gengar out to show him what a "troublemaker" really is.

It's the kind of stuff that will make Minjiang sleep poorly for seven consecutive days.

"Come with me."

The old man led Jinghe inside, while Minjiang said to wait outside.

"Some Pokémon in the breeding house are fostered here by other trainers, so you can't choose them," the old man explained as they walked.

Jing He nodded.

Once inside the breeding center, Jinghe immediately saw many Pokémon.

Some of the bolder ones even stood aside and watched them silently.

For example, there are flocks of Houndoom and Houndoom, Swellow and Tumbleweed perched on branches, and hyperactive apes darting swiftly through the forest, constantly making "ah-oh-oh-oh" sounds.
At the same time, Jinghe also discovered...

"Grandpa, there seem to be quite a few Pokémon from the Galar and Padina regions in the breeding center?" Jinghe asked.

Not far away, he saw four snow-white mice, two large and two small, watching them cautiously.

"Those are a family of rats, and they're a very special kind of Pokémon," the old man said, noticing Jinghe's gaze.

Jinghe smiled and said, "Is it because although they are four mice, they are actually one Pokémon?"

"Ok?"

The old man looked at Jing He with some surprise and said, "It seems you know quite a bit about Pokémon from the Padilla region."

A family rat is a very peculiar Pokémon.

They are divided into "three-person family" and "four-person family" states, and are an evolutionary form of a pair of mice.

A pair of mice consists of two large mice, which, after living together for a period of time, will inexplicably turn into three or four.

However, no one can fully explain the relationship between these four white mice at present.

Therefore, breeding a Pokémon like a rat is obviously quite difficult.

"Because the principal has a wide network of connections, both in the Padina and Galar regions, our breeding center probably has the most Pokémon in the entire Hoenn region," the old man explained cheerfully.

Jing He looked somewhat enlightened.

Indeed, the principal is a seasoned social butterfly.

Besides a family of rats, Jinghe also saw Pokémon from the Padia region, such as Buppu, Saltstone, Grimm, Mudkip, and Motospi.

Subsequently.

The old man began to introduce some Pokémon to Jinghe one by one.

"Look over there, that flying praying mantis. I'm not exaggerating, its scythes can cut through iron like mud."

"And over there, see that Lapras? Its Water and Ice type abilities are ridiculously high."

"That little saw-toothed crocodile, though a bit mischievous, is also very powerful, especially its bite force."

Jinghe's eye began to twitch.

Not
There wasn't a single intact rock or tree around the flying mantis; they were all broken into several pieces.

The little saw-toothed crocodile was even more outrageous, gnawing away at a huge rock, leaving it covered in pitted bite marks.
If I bring these Pokémon home, will my home still be able to exist?
suddenly.

Jinghe's attention was drawn to a ball of fire.

The flickering firelight brought a sense of warmth, but not at all restless.

In the dead of winter, while other Pokémon were quite active, it seemed to have entered hibernation.
The moment Jinghe saw it, she suddenly felt a sense of peace.

We need a piece of coal like this to get through the winter!
That was a Charcoal Servant.

Moreover, Jing He seemed to faintly sense a waveguide aura.

Noticing Jinghe's gaze, the old man's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He opened his mouth, then asked somewhat uncertainly, "You've got your eye on this one?"

"What's wrong with it?" Jing He asked, puzzled.

"No, nothing," the old man tilted his head slightly, "I'm glad you like it, I'm glad you like it."
