Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 323 Bell Tower, Phoenix King Tree (Seeking monthly votes!)
In the Johto region, around Zhu City.

That night.

Jinghe and Songye took the little ones to the Yuanzhu Dance Hall to watch the geisha's performance.

I have to say, those Eevee sprites are so white and so adorable.

The most famous group in the Crimson Dance Party is the Crimson Five Sisters, each of whom owns a different evolved form of Eevee.

Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Umbreon, and Espeon.

This kind of performance is clearly similar to a glamour contest.

After the dance ends, the dance floor will invite audience members to come up on stage and battle against the five Eevee sisters. They can choose one of their Eevee to battle.

Whether you win or lose, you can receive some small prizes from the dance floor.

It's considered a staple of the Yuanzhu Dance Hall's program.

Jing He showed little interest in this.

He would be very interested if it were evolution stones, but obviously the dance hall would definitely lose money if evolution stones were given away every time.

However, occasionally giving it away as a gimmick can attract quite a few viewers.

However, this also made Jinghe sigh.

As expected of the Pokémon world, even dance halls need to include Pokémon battles to attract more viewers.

After watching the performance, Jinghe took the little ones to stay at the Pokémon Center in Edenshu City.

Early the next morning.

Jinghe groggily opened her eyes, but quickly closed them again, mumbling:
"Rotom, what time is it?"

"It's 6:30 in the morning, Loto!"

The Rotom Pokédex floated in mid-air and continued:

"Today, the weather in Yuanzhu City is sunny with a level 3 easterly wind, making it a great day for sightseeing and recreation, Loto!"

"Six-thirty?"

Jinghe rubbed her eyes a couple of times, buried her head in the soft fur of the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, and felt a refreshing coolness that instantly made her feel much more energetic.

have to say.

After evolving, Ninetales not only has more outstanding ice-type abilities, but also has better control over its own ice-type energy, resulting in much less uncontrollable coldness.

"Ouch~~"

The little guy pouted, looking a bit annoyed at being disturbed from his sleep.

Jing He smiled and said, "Rotom, play a song."

"Okay, Lotto!"

soon.

A rousing rock song emanated from the Rotom Compendium; the exhilarating voice and powerful rhythm instantly energized the little guys.

"Ouch~~"

Ice Nine-Tail stood up, stretched lazily, its slender body and nine tails outstretched.

Get up and wash up.

However, after listening for a while, Jinghe realized that something was wrong, because the little ones seemed to be getting a bit emo.

"Wait, Rotom, whose song are you playing?"

A picture of a rock band appears on the Rotom Pokédex.

The image above shows a singer and a band consisting of four Pokémon.

The Pokémon are: Rillaboom (drummer), Toxtricity (guitarist with a flamboyant appearance), Toxtricity (bassist with a low-key appearance), and Urshifu (another lead singer).

"It's the Spikes band from the Galar region, and the lead singer is 'Melancholy Nie Zi' Loto~"

Jing He: "."

I was wondering why someone would use rock music to sing emo.

"Let's talk."

If we're talking about singing in the Pokémon world, we still have to look to Meowth.

"Ah-oh-i, Ah-oh-i"

Is that how it's sung?

"If there's a chance, we could let Meow Meow debut again."

Singing, plus acting in television and movies.
Wow, Meow Meow has the potential to become a triple-threat star in film, television, and music!

Jinghe shook her head and kept the matter in mind.

Because it's still early.

After breakfast, Jinghe took the little ones to the free training area behind the Pokémon Center and did some simple basic training with them.

Then he went to the Enju Dojo and found Songye.

The two went to the Bell Tower together.

Before entering the Bell Tower, you need to pass through a bell-sounding path.

The Bell Path is lined with trees, and you can even spot many active wild Pokémon among them.

One unique feature of Bell Sound Path is that the leaves on the trees here turn a golden yellow, just like in autumn, all year round.

A warm-toned environment can instantly lift one's spirits.

This has made Lingyin Trail a must-visit and photo spot for many tourists visiting Yuanzhu City.

Of course, it's also because the bell tower is at the end of the path.

However, ordinary people cannot enter.

When the two arrived at the foot of the bell tower, a monk dressed in a gray-white robe was sweeping the steps.

Upon seeing the two, he stopped what he was doing, offered a Buddhist salute to them, and then remained silent.

Jinghe couldn't help but take a second look at the monk who looked quite old.

Well known.

None of those who sweep the grounds outside grand temples and places of spiritual practice are simple-minded.

Gengar, on the other hand.

After seeing the monks' actions, I found them particularly interesting and started to imitate them in a similar manner.

Hold one hand up in front of your body and bow slightly.

"Genga~~"

Its imposing presence even startled the monks sweeping the floor.

He is a cultivator who has undergone rigorous training, and he can usually control his smile unless he can't help it.

"It seems that your Pokémon has a very Buddhist nature," the monk said slowly.

Jinghe involuntarily turned her head to the side.

Gengar is a ghost, yet it worships Buddha and has Buddhist nature. It just seems so awkward.

Who knew that Gengar would get hooked and return the greeting in a very proper manner.

"Genga~~"

You flatter me.

They didn't praise you!

The two then entered the bell tower.

The bell tower was much larger than Jinghe had expected; even the first floor alone gave it a very spacious feel.

Since Song Ye had already given instructions, Jing He, as someone recognized by Emperor Yan, was allowed to go to the upper floor after his identity was briefly confirmed.

When you arrive at the corner of the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor.

They climbed the creaking wooden stairs. During this time...

You can see monks on each floor.

They were either cultivating or reading and learning something, and it seemed that no one paid any attention to Jing He and the others' arrival.

Even inside the Bell Tower, Jinghe and his friends saw wild Pokémon active among them.

Pine needles indicate.

The Bell Tower and the former Burning Tower were originally built to celebrate the friendship between humans and Pokémon.

Therefore, the Bell Tower does not restrict wild Pokémon from freely entering and exiting.

When they reached the corner of the stairs between the ninth and tenth floors, they saw a wooden carving.

And what is engraved on it is the legendary Pokémon, Ho-Oh!

"哓GA!"

Looking at the Ho-Oh sculpture, Gengar couldn't help but point at it and shout out loud.

The one carrying the camera!
Matsuba: "???"

Jinghe rubbed his forehead.

"Teacher Jinghe, have you met Ho-Oh?" Songye realized.

Pine Leaf's ancestors worshipped Ho-Oh for generations, which is one of the reasons he was able to ascend the Bell Tower, not just because of his status as a Gym Leader.

But ever since Ho-Oh left the Bell Tower, his ancestors have never seen Ho-Oh again.

“I saw him once before in Zhenxin Town,” Jinghe explained.

Song Ye suddenly realized.

No wonder.

No wonder Emperor Yan suddenly came to visit and even offered "Emperor Yan's Guardianship".

What does "carrying a camera" mean?

Jing He coughed lightly and waved his hand, saying, "Cough, don't worry about these details."

They were the first to reach the top.

Then I saw an old monk with white eyebrows reaching his shoulders, sitting on a futon with a kind face.

Beside him stood two robust and powerful young monks.

He looks like a martial monk.

"Elder."

Song Ye immediately bowed to the old man, and Jing He followed suit.

Along with them was Gengar.

"Genga~~"

The elder, with a smile on his face, said gently:

"You are here."

His gaze finally settled on Gengar, and his smile seemed to deepen.

"Little fellow, you have a connection with Buddha."

"Giggle giggle~~"

Gengar raised its big head a little higher and waved its hands repeatedly.

Then he raised an eyebrow at Jing He.

See it?

Even the old monks praised me.

Jing He's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Actually, he had always been very curious.

There are monks at the Bell Tower in Enju City, but he did not see a single Buddha statue inside the Bell Tower. Moreover, they worship Ho-Oh. So, do they believe in Buddhism or Ho-Oh?
Not only the Bell Tower in Enju City, but also the Trumpet Sprout Tower in Kikyo City.

"Elder, what is Teacher Jinghe's purpose in making this trip?"

There are some things that Jinghe finds difficult to say, but with Songye around, communication becomes much easier.

Then Songye briefly explained Jinghe's purpose.

After listening quietly, the elder nodded slightly to the young monk beside him.

quickly.

The young monk carried a thick piece of wood back through the side door.

Boom! !

The wood was placed on the ground with a dull thud.

"This is."

The elder did not answer, but instead asked:
"May I have a look at the 'Rainbow Feather'?"

Jinghe and Songye were both taken aback.

Song Ye was stunned to find that Teacher Jing He actually had "Rainbow Feathers"?
Jinghe was stunned, wondering how the old monk knew.
However, since they had already asked, Jing He no longer needed to hide it. He took out the "Rainbow Feather" that emitted a faint seven-colored light from the inner pocket of his clothes.

Upon seeing the feather, the old monk revealed an expression that said, "Just as I thought."

He sighed and said, "Such a dazzling luster, it seems that you have indeed gained the approval of the Phoenix King."

Buzz-buzz-

The "Rainbow Feather" flashed.

"The 'Rainbow Feather' is quite satisfied with you, benefactor."

Jing He chuckled awkwardly and put the feather away.

Aside from being greedy and attracting Phoenix's guards, this feather actually served a purpose for the first time.

[Rainbow Feather:? ? 】

“In that case, this piece of wood is a gift to you, benefactor,” the old monk said.

The young monk beside him also spoke in a deep, muffled voice.

"This piece of wood is the wood where the Phoenix King once perched at the top of the tower. It should be what you desire."

Is it really that simple?
Jinghe was surprised.

He was wondering if he should find an excuse to get Brigitte to come out for a stroll, but she just glanced at "Rainbow Feather" and immediately offered it to him.
Moreover, it was a piece of wood where Ho-Oh once perched.

Later, when Ho-Oh returned to Bell Tower, it discovered its home had been robbed?

"Genga?"

Gengar scratched its head.

No need to hit it?

The old monk's eyebrow twitched.

He's not stupid; he knew about the big incident that happened at Yuanzhu Dojo yesterday.

A trainer who can clash with Entei and gain Entei's approval—if they really fight, Bell Tower might follow in Burning Tower's footsteps.

Moreover.

Trainers who gain the approval of Ho-Oh and Entei will have the opportunity to see Ho-Oh again in the future, and who knows, they might even be able to bring Ho-Oh back.

"Go away, go away."

The old monk waved his hand.

He abandoned his idea of ​​asking Gengar if he wanted to stay and train.
