Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 320 Gengar: It fell down by itself! (Seeking monthly votes!)
"You are."

Pine Leaf's gaze passed over Gengar and landed on Jing He standing inside the Burning Tower, revealing a hint of surprise.

"Teacher Jinghe?"

"Does Master Songye know me?" Jinghe was also somewhat surprised.

He recognized the visitor; it was none other than Matsuba, the Gym Leader of the Enchantress City Enchantress Gym and an expert in Ghost-type Pokémon!
Upon hearing this, Songye smiled and said:
"I watched Mr. Jinghe's speedrun of the Battle Frontier a while ago, and I cleared the Battle Tower with a 45-win streak with Gengar."

As a fellow trainer of Gengar, a Ghost-type Pokémon, Matsuba was naturally familiar with this matter.

Jing He looked slightly enlightened.

My own ghost has really done well, managing to get Matsuba's attention.

"So, Mr. Jinghe, you came to Enju City to get the Enju Dojo badge?" Matsuba asked.

Ok?
Isn't your use of the word "take" quite insightful?
"No, we're here for tourism," Jing He said with a smile.

The pine needles showed a look of regret.

As a Ghost-type Pokémon trainer, he actually really wanted to have a battle with Jing He.

the other side.

"Genga~~"

"Genga?"

Pine Leaf's Gengar slowly realized that the one who had scared it earlier was another Gengar.

This made it somewhat curious about Jinghe's Gengar.

The two chubby purple-skinned creatures stared at each other, their sinister grins almost identical. However, Pine Leaf's Gengar showed more surprise in its eyes, while Jing He's Gengar was more teasing.

pat-

Don't know what the reason is.

It could be because too many people suddenly entered the already decaying Burning Tower, or because Pine Leaf's Gengar was startled and made too much noise.

A piece of charred wood fell from somewhere on the burning tower.

Seeing this, Jinghe's Gengar flashed and arrived next to the fallen piece of wood.

With a "thud," the sole of his foot stomped onto the wooden piece.

Then, with her hands on her hips, she pouted and pretended to whistle, tilting her head back at a 45-degree angle, pretending that "nothing happened, don't look at me."

But the problem is.

Gengar is not small, but its feet are not very big. The piece of charred wood that fell off was much bigger than Gengar's feet.

The Gengar with the pine needles came to its side, looked down at the exposed wood chip, then at the Gengar with its head tilted back, and gave it a strange look.

"Genga~!"

Seeing this, Jinghe's Gengar looked fierce, scratched its butt, and whispered to Pine Leaf's Gengar.

Don't look down on me! Or I'll beat you up!

Jinghe said that although the Burning Tower was burned down, it is still a protected building remnant of the Alliance, and we can't actually go and forcibly pry something off of it.

If you can't force it, you can only wait for it to fall off on its own.

Now that such a large piece has finally fallen down, how could Gengar possibly let it go?

This scene, of course, could not escape the notice of Songye, who possessed "clairvoyance".

"Teacher Jinghe, what's this Gengar?"

Jinghe rubbed his forehead.

"To be honest, that's actually the case."

Then, Jinghe briefly explained the purpose of their trip.

It's nothing to hide; it's just that we might need wood for the Burning Tower and the Bell Tower.

As for its purpose, he just brushed it off.

"Wood scorched by flames should ideally retain some Ghost-type energy or characteristics, right?" Pine Leaf gently rubbed his chin.

He didn't press Jinghe about what she wanted the wood for, after all, it was her privacy.

He continued:

"If these are the only requirements, my dojo has quite a few."

"Ok?"

Jing He was stunned.

Songye explained with a smile:
"The Burn Tower was in disrepair and often fell down some charred wood chips, so I collected them all and brought them back to the gym."

No wonder this burning tower looks so clean.

In Jinghe's memory, the Burning Tower shouldn't be a mess, with bits of wood and stones scattered everywhere, which they could just pick up.

While they may not all meet the requirements, at least there are enough of them, and surely some of them will be useful.

But when they entered the burning tower, they found that although the tower was dilapidated and the ground was full of cratered marks, there was no garbage on the ground.

So it turns out that pine needles beat us to it.

At this time.

A Poké Ball on Jing He's waist suddenly opened.

"Gurgle~~"

Amidst the flashing red light, Tan Xiaoshi appeared beside him, gently tugging at Jing He's trouser leg and pointing to a certain spot below the Burning Tower.

"what happened?"

Jinghe asked.

"Gurgle!"

Tan Xiaoshi thought for a moment, not knowing how to explain, so it simply told Jing He to follow, and then it quickly ran into the tower.

Now, only the first floor and the underground floor of the Burning Tower remain relatively intact. Tan Xiaoshi led Jing He and the others down the creaking stairs, which seemed ready to collapse at any moment.

The surroundings were pitch black, with traces of burning everywhere, and even a faint sense of gloom.

Pine Leaf kept many Gastly and Haunter. Like Gengar, these mischievous creatures would sneak into the Burning Tower from time to time to play and tease the visitors.

The yin energy here is more or less brought by them.

soon.

They were standing in a corner on the first basement level.

Tan Xiaoshi stopped in front of a pillar.

See you soon.

On the charred pillar, there was an irregular piece of wood, about the size of a palm, with only a small part still attached to the pillar, as if it might fall off at any moment.

"This is."

But Jinghe, who possessed waveguides, keenly noticed something. On this piece of wood, there was actually a faint wisp of...firelight?

The flames of the burning tower have been extinguished for over a hundred years. How could a single flame remain after such a long period of time?
Moreover, there was a faint trace of life in this wisp of flame, which was even thinner than a hair.
Pine Needle also noticed this, and his face showed a hint of surprise.

He often comes to the Burning Tower, but he comes to the basement less often, since the stairs there are indeed not very safe. I didn't expect that.
"There are still remnants of flame here?"

He murmured in disbelief.

If it weren't for Tanjiro, no one would have noticed such an inconspicuous flame.

The main issue is that although there are still residues, there are no longer any signs of burning.

boom! boom! boom--

Just as the two were stunned, heavy footsteps approached.

"Gen, genga~~"

Jinghe's Gengar strode around the basement level, muttering to itself—

The weather today is really, really great!
The Gengar of the Pine Leaf followed suit, letting out a strange laugh, and also began to "stroll" along.

"What are you doing?" Songye couldn't help but ask.

Jinghe turned her head away somewhat embarrassed.

Gengar chuckled and waved, indicating that the pine needles didn't need to worry about them. They weren't doing anything; they wouldn't deliberately damage the buildings, they were just wandering around.

Tan Koji also joined in.

"Gurgle! Crack! Gurgle! Crack!"

Ninetales suddenly realized, blinked, and while one tail wrapped around Jing He's arm, the other subtly brushed against the Poké Ball at his waist.

The red light flashed again.

Boom! !

A heavy voice rang out.

"just?"

The master blacksmith carrying a hammer also appeared on the first basement level.

Seeing the stance of Gengar and the others, and based on the information it heard in its Poké Ball, it immediately tossed its twin tails aside, picked up its hammer, and started wandering around.

But Hammer Girl's pace is not on the same level as Gengar's.

boom! boom! boom--

The rustling debris began to fall from the burning tower with its "plop plop" steps.

this moment.

Pine Leaf just thought, "Won't the stairs be damaged by the shock?"
No, we'll be buried underneath!

Fortunately.

With the arrival of a "heavyweight" master blacksmith, results were quickly achieved.

Snap! Snap, snap—

Many pieces of wood, along with the piece still bearing a wisp of flame, fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Gengar scooped it up with its paw.

"Genga~~"

As you can see, it fell off by itself; I didn't pick it off.

Matsuba: "."

The little ones nodded repeatedly.

Gengar, finding it amusing, nodded with a grin.

Pine Leaf suddenly had a feeling that his Gengar seemed a little strange today.

However, he quickly suggested:

"Ahem, Teacher Jinghe, let's go to the dojo instead. There are quite a few there."

If we stay any longer, we might not make it out of the Burning Tower today.

"哓GA!"

Pine Leaf's Gengar waved at Jinghe's Gengar.

Come on! I'll take you there!
The chubby purple-skinned boy patted the shoulder of the pine needle Gengar with satisfaction.

Brothers!
Then they went upstairs on their own.

Matsuba: "."

Jinghe and the other little ones followed.

He glanced at the pine needles that remained standing still and reminded them:
"Master Songye, we're leaving."

"oh oh."

Songye realized what was happening and followed.

After a slight hesitation, he couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher Jinghe, has your Gengar always been like this?"

Although Pine Leaf's Gengar also likes to play pranks and be mischievous, Pine Leaf feels that some of the things his Gengar does are still within his understanding.

But Jinghe's Gengar seemed to be somewhat beyond his comprehension.

The most obvious point is...
His Gengar seems to have become a dutiful little brother.

Jing He looked somewhat puzzled.

What a question!
"Gengar, isn't that how it is?"

His Gengar, and Elite Four member Akiko's Gengar, are pretty much the same.

On the way back to Yuanzhu Taoist Temple.

Pine Leaf gradually discovered the differences between his Gengar and Jinghe's Gengar.

Or rather, it's the difference between him and Jinghe in how they treat Gengar.

Pine Leaf knows that Gengar is mischievous and loves to play pranks, so his attitude is usually: Gengar can't do that, don't do that, it's not good to do that, how to make Gengar more obedient.

Jinghe's attitude towards Gengar is...
When dealing with Gengar, the degree of pranks should be appropriate for different people and Pokémon. You need to be mindful of the difference between those with high tolerance and those with low tolerance.

This is the difference between blocking and dredging.

Jinghe has always advocated guiding the unique characteristics of each Pokémon in a direction that is more suitable for it.

This made Song Ye sigh.

"No wonder he's a Pokémon psychology mentor, I've completely wasted my time learning from him."
