Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 325 This punch, ten years of internal energy, how can you block it! (Seeking monthly votes!)
"Master Liu?"

Upon seeing Uncle Liu and glancing at Swamp King, who had paused in his eating, Jing He realized what was happening.

So this Quagsire was actually Liu Bo's Pokémon?

Gengar, that guy.
I thought it had brought a wild Pokémon to visit, but I never expected that it was Uncle Liu's Pokémon that it brought!
"Oh it's you."

Uncle Liu recognized Jing He as well.

Uncle Liu frowned slightly as his gaze swept over the Pokémon beside the picnic blanket and Jing He, who was eating with the Pokémon.

"I thought you had some talent, but looking at you and your Pokémon..."

He shook his head slightly.

"This is not how trainers and Pokémon should interact."

Upon hearing this, Jing He's brows furrowed involuntarily.

really.

Uncle Liu is seriously ill.

"come over!"

"Whoosh."

Upon hearing Uncle Liu's voice, Swamp King obediently put down the bowl in his hand and got up to return to Uncle Liu's side.

However, this scene caused Gengar, Ninetales, and Jinghe's Pokémon to show their dissatisfaction.

Swamp King was clearly enjoying his meal.

Can't this old man see?

Isn't Quagsire his Pokémon?

It feels like I'm scolding a subordinate, not even letting it finish its food.

On the contrary, Jing He's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she put down the bowl in her hand, stood up and gave a slight bow as a sign of respect for the old man.

Then he said:

"Gym Leader Liu, how do you think trainers and Pokémon should get along?"

If Jing He were strong enough, he would want to get up and beat up this old man right now, not for anything else, but for his Pokémon.

Unfortunately, Jinghe was self-aware enough to know that there was a significant gap between him and Uncle Liu.

Therefore, a relatively "mild" approach was chosen.

At least.

We need to figure out first whether it was the long-haired pig or Laplace that caused Uncle Liu to become like this.

Uncle Liu's expression remained cold. He glanced at him and said indifferently:
"Trainers are humans, and Pokémon are Pokémon. They are two different kinds of beings and should not have too much entanglement with each other."

“But your friends Professor Oak and Elite Four member Kikuko don’t seem to think so,” Jinghe said.

"That's why I haven't had much contact with them."

Different road non-phase plan.

Jing He nodded, not immediately refuting Uncle Liu's point of view, but asked again:

"There must be a reason why Gym Leader Liu thinks that way, right? After all, most trainers have a relatively harmonious relationship with their Pokémon."

It seems that before the brothers Raiji and Shinji were "reformed," they probably had a lot in common with Ryuu.

So, while most trainers have a good relationship with their Pokémon, there is still a group of people who take Pokémon for granted and treat them as tools.

For example, Ash's abandoned Charmander's original trainer.

Uncle Liu slowly narrowed his eyes.

Although he said he wouldn't contact Professor Oak, Elite Four member Kikuko, and the others, as someone they had high hopes for, Liu Bo himself didn't treat Jing He as a stranger.

In addition, he actually thought highly of Jing He's Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Professor Oak take the manual and give it to Jinghe in the first place.

After pondering for a long while, he slowly said:
"I once had three Pokémon. They were a swampy pig, a Lapras named 'Lapras', and a Lapras named 'Lapras'."

Ok?
You have all three?
Later, through Uncle Liu's brief explanation, Jinghe finally understood what had happened to him.

In his youth, Psy was a "reckless" man like Ash, but in a battle without any restrictions, he and his Wooloo were severely burned, and the other Pokémon were also injured to varying degrees.

One snowy night, the long-haired pig left him alone and never returned.

Later, during his search for the long-haired pig, Lyubo experienced some accidents that resulted in the tragic deaths of both of his Laplace's.

Having experienced two major setbacks, Liu Bo completely gave up the idea of ​​forming a bond with Pokémon, keeping his distance from them and only conducting rigorous training.

Good guy.

After hearing this, Jinghe exclaimed, "Wow!"

He had assumed that either the departure of the long-haired pigs or the fall of Laplace had occurred, but he was wrong.
This is like experiencing all the setbacks that Liu Bo went through in the anime and special episodes!

"So, young man, take my advice: don't form too deep a bond with your Pokémon, otherwise, you might be the one who gets hurt in the end," Uncle Liu advised again.

"Genga~!"

"Ouch!"

Jinghe's Pokémon all bared their teeth.

This old man's story sounds quite tragic, but isn't it a bit inappropriate to project his own energy onto others and advise them not to form deep bonds with Pokémon?
But Uncle Liu seemed not to see their expressions, and simply said again in a flat tone:
"Even without any constraints, trainers can still train their Pokémon to be very strong."

Jing He did not deny this point.

just
“Master Liu, have you ever considered this possibility?”

"Ok?"

"What you think about, the lack of ties, is just your perspective and doesn't represent the views of your Pokémon?"

As Jinghe spoke, she took two steps forward.

"Perhaps, in the eyes of your Pokémon, you are the trainer they trust the most, and the bond between them is something you selectively ignore?"

Otherwise, how could Liu Bo's Pokémon be willing to persevere through such rigorous training?
Pokémon have feelings too.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liu was taken aback.

He looked at the Swamp King beside him.

"Whoosh~ (▽。)"

Swamp King chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head.

Then Uncle Liu looked at Sister Mimi pushing her wheelchair behind him.

"Chirping~(｀)"

Seeing his action, Jing He smiled slightly and said again:
"Actually, there's something else I know."

But before he could finish speaking, Uncle Liu frowned and reached out to interrupt him.

"Young man, are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

Ok?
Is that how you understand it?

Uncle Liu snorted coldly and said:

"If you think I'm wrong, then let's have a fight. If you win, I'll hear what you have to say; otherwise... humph!"

He had probably already guessed that Jing He was summoned by Professor Oak.

"Can't beat it."

Jing He spread his hands, speaking with complete composure.

How old is Uncle Liu? How old is he?
Besides, Liu Bo is a renowned and powerful trainer whose strength is recognized throughout the league. It's a good match with him.
"rest assured."

Uncle Liu said in a calm tone:
"I won't use my main Pokémon, because even if I win, it won't mean much."

Simply put, Uncle Liu wanted Jing He to realize that trainers and Pokémon shouldn't have too deep an emotional bond.

Jinghe, on the other hand, wanted Liu Bo to revert to his previous views, or at least change his current perspective.

This is a clash of ideas, which can be clearly demonstrated through Pokémon battles.

If Uncle Liu wins, it means that Uncle Liu's ideas are correct, and vice versa.

"哓GA!"

Before Jinghe could reply, Gengar made a gesture of rolling up its sleeves.

Let me handle this; I'm going to beat him up!
Even Gengar said so.
“Okay!” Jing He replied.

After all, he had initially wanted to beat up that old man, Uncle Liu, but he couldn't. Now that the man was confident in his abilities, it was a good opportunity.

Uncle Liu glanced at Gengar, then at Jinghe, and finally his gaze lingered on Ninetales for a moment before he said:
"Then let's go with the most standard 3V3 rotation."

What he wanted to see was the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.

Rotation?
Jinghe thought Uncle Liu would propose a 3V3 match with no difference in skill level.

The generation of Liu Bo, whether it is him, Professor Oak, or Kikuko, are all masters of wild fighting.

But when Jinghe glanced at Uncle Liu's wheelchair, a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.

"So this is my first Pokémon."

Amidst the flashing red light, a Pokémon with a very tall body, covered in brown fur, and with two thick, curved tusks appeared before him.

"Mamoswine, a two-tusked Pokémon, is the evolved form of the long-haired pig. It was once thought to be an extinct Pokémon, Roto!"

"哓GA!"

Hey! You old man, you're being unreasonable! You clearly said they were Pokémon of similar strength, but you sent out one that's this big!
Jinghe pressed down on the chubby boy's head and pulled him behind her.

What do you know?
The Pokémon that doesn't evolve are the strongest.

He still sent out the little wild boar, and Jing He really had no choice but to give up.

According to the ivory pig.
"Disciple Xiong," Jing He called out.

"Ku!!"

Upon hearing the call, Xiong's apprentice grinned, rolled over, and leaped in front of Jing He.

He assumed a horse stance, grabbed the headband-like hair with both hands, and pulled it tight.

As expected, I, Xiong Xianfeng, still have to lead the charge!

Uncle Liu glanced at his apprentice Xiong and said expressionlessly:

"Ice pick!"

"Roar!!"

The ivory boar roared, its fur trembling, and ice pellets fell from its body, coalescing into sharp ice spikes that shot towards the bear apprentice.

Jing He narrowed his eyes.

Waveguide power, activate!

Since Uncle Liu doesn't believe in the bond between trainers and Pokémon, let's show him the power of that bond.

"Bear disciple, smash them!"

"Ku~!"

Then, Xiong's apprentice took a step forward, his fists swirling with dark red fighting energy. Facing the several ice spikes that shot towards him, he didn't hesitate to throw punches.

Each punch landed precisely on the ice spike.

boom! boom! boom--

Broken ice shards scattered.

"Good aim, Ivory Boar, Icicle Drop!" Uncle Liu remained unmoved and continued to give instructions.

"Roar--!!"

A giant ice pillar appeared out of thin air above Xiong's apprentice's head. The speed at which it condensed left Jing He speechless.

If it weren't for the waveguide, he probably wouldn't have noticed the formation of the icicles.

Did you use the ice shards that fell off when the ice picks broke?
"It's time to sleep, my bear apprentice."

“Koo~~(－ω－) zzZ”

Without Jinghe saying anything, the earnest apprentice Xiong had already fallen asleep.

"Double the return!"

"Ku!!zzZ"

The bear disciple spread his arms, his muscles tensed, and a rich, dark red energy immediately rose from his body.

As solid as a rock!

boom! !

The massive ice pillar crashed down, causing even the sleeping apprentice, who rarely felt pain, to furrow his brow and stagger briefly.

opportunity!

"Ivory pig, earthquake!"

The ivory pig suddenly raised its foot and slammed it heavily to the ground.

“Now!” Jing He also spoke at the same time.

The bear apprentice's body shot out like a cannonball.

The attacks he had previously endured transformed into power, which now gathered in his fist!
Jinghe shouted again:

"Disciple Bear, Explosive Fist!"

Uncle Liu frowned slightly. Jing He and Xiong's apprentice reacted much faster than he had expected.

Double the payback plus a blasting punch?

So he waved his hand lightly.

"Ivory Boar, hold the line!"

The ivory boar immediately changed its half-finished move, and a green fluorescent energy shield appeared around its body.

It's not that simple!
Waveguide power, infuse me with it!!

A waveguide aura was injected into Xiong's apprentice's fist.

This not only made its attacks more precise, but also caused the terrifying Fighting-type energy surrounding its fists to fluctuate.

Charcoal Servant, standing nearby, suddenly realized.

Got it, Hadouken!

At the same time, Xiong's apprentice also identified the weak points in the ivory pig's body.

This is the essence of the One-Hit Kill Style!
"Ku!!zzZ"

This punch is the result of ten years of training. Let's see how you block it!
Break it for me!
click!
boom! !

The ivory boar's protective barrier shattered instantly, and the bear apprentice's fists slammed into the ivory boar's body without reservation.

boom--

The ivory boar, which was over 2.5 meters tall and incredibly heavy, was actually blasted away by the bear apprentice's fist, crashing heavily to the ground and causing a tremor.

Uncle Liu frowned deeply.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his command, and the ivory pig's reaction was impeccable, so why?
Although he had witnessed Jinghe's bear disciple's battle, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful at this moment.

Is this reasonable?
