Chapter 363 Jing He: Let's Make a Bet? (4000 words, please vote!)

A challenge?

Wearing a work jacket and goggles, Denji looked up, slightly surprised, as if he was fiddling with something.

and also.

Everything was fine just now, so why does it seem like all the electricity in the dojo has suddenly disappeared?

Compared to challenging the established order, this aspect is actually receiving more attention from the current generation of esports players.

My carefully arranged electrical circuits in the dojo will definitely not have any problems, unless...
Then, he saw Jinghe, Daye, and Wusong appear at the door.

"Da Ye, Wu Song, and Teacher Jing He?" Dian Ci frowned.

"Pica~"

Pikachu ran towards Denji, gesturing with its hands to indicate that a skilled opponent was coming to challenge the gym.

Challenge the gym?

Denji sat on the ground, took off his goggles, and lazily scratched his head, saying:
"I think I left the badge outside the gym. You can take it if you want."

"Denji!"

Da Ye shouted in a deep voice, "Someone's here to challenge us! Show some reaction, get your spirits up! Where's your energy?!"

Denji glanced at his enthusiastic best friend, gave a fairly gentle smile, and said:

"Don't I look perfectly fine?"

Upon hearing this, Da Ye gritted his teeth.

"Let's battle, Denji!"

Dianci completely ignored him.

"He seems a little different from the rumored eighth gym leader, Denji," Wusong couldn't help but remark.

however.

One used friendly encouragement, the other used reverse psychology, but neither had much effect on Dianci.

Jing He, who had originally been shouting "challenge the venue," was now instead browsing the venue.

He browsed through the pages, nodding with satisfaction.

"This venue is nice."

"Genga~~"

Gengar nodded in agreement.

It doesn't seem like it would be easily destroyed.

"Electric power!" Jinghe suddenly shouted.

"Ok?"

Dianci frowned.

The two had met in Kanaz and even worked together.

Later, Jinghe participated in the Quartz Conference and the Speedrun Battle Frontier. Although he didn't watch many of the shows, he learned a little about them.

I wouldn't say I'm very familiar with Teacher Jinghe, but I'm certainly not a stranger to her.

“Let’s make a bet,” Jing He said.

"bet?"

Denji chuckled lightly, "You expect me to cheer up just because I lost? I actually think I'm doing fine right now."

"No no no."

Jing He gently shook her finger and said with a smile:

"If you win the bet, I'll tell you why the power suddenly went out in your gym."

Upon hearing this, Dianci paused in surprise.

To be honest, Jinghe's words really struck a chord with him.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the layout of the dojo, but the fact that it suddenly lost power meant there must be something wrong with his setup.

"Professor Jinghe also knows about electrical engineering?" Dianci's voice had gained a bit more strength.

"Do you study electrical engineering?"

Involuntarily, the concepts of Ohm's Law, resistance and conductance, electrical work and power, and Joule's Law, which had once tormented him, surfaced in Jing He's mind.
He chuckled and said:

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

Da Ye nudged Wu Song with his elbow and asked in a low voice:

"How come Teacher Jinghe seems to know a little bit about everything?"

Wu Song pushed up his glasses. "When others say 'I have a little knowledge,' they mean it literally. But when Teacher Jing He says 'I have a little knowledge,' it's just modesty."

Da Ye looked as if he had just realized something.

Jinghe felt ashamed.

This time, I really do "know a little bit".

However, he ignored the two of them and continued:
"Furthermore, if you win, I can introduce you to a few people who are among the world's top manufacturers of high-tech electrical appliances."

Given the trio's ability to create Gundams by hand, calling them "top-notch" shouldn't be a problem, right?

If Denji can cooperate with the trio.
Jinghe was a little afraid to think about what they could possibly come up with.

"Top-notch?"

Are there people like this whom he doesn't know?
Seeing Jing He's confident expression, Dian Ci chose to believe her and asked:
"And what if you win?"

"I won."

Jing He looked around the vast arena of the dojo and smiled:

"I think this venue is quite nice. How about I borrow it for a few days?"

Dianci was taken aback.

"That's it?"

Jing He nodded cheerfully, "That's right, this is it."

"no problem!"

Dian nodded.

Why not have a battle to learn more about electricity!

"Did you... convince them?"

Da Ye was pulled by Wu Song towards the audience seats.

He shouted so loudly just now, but Dianci was unmoved. Teacher Jinghe had Dianci under her control with just a few words.

"You don't understand psychology."

Wu Song said irritably.

He seemed to understand it a little.

Professor Jinghe started by introducing him to electricity, which was his current area of ​​interest, and gradually sparked his interest.
The final bet seemed unbalanced to Denji, but to Gosho, Denji's gym might be in danger!
No, I need to go back and cram some psychology books, otherwise I might get fooled without even realizing it, Wusong thought to himself.

Although Denji doesn't do gym battles much anymore, the Seaside Gym is still fully equipped.

The chubby referee, who was strolling outside, ran back immediately after hearing about the upcoming match.

"The rules for this battle are as follows."

The referee somewhat awkwardly announced the rules of the match, while signaling to both players to get ready.

Pikachu stood next to Denji, while Gengar, looking silly, floated beside Jinghe, its feet tapping the ground alternately, bouncing back and forth.

"That's up to you."

Denji grabbed the Poké Ball and casually tossed it away.

"Roar!!"

The Pokémon making its appearance is one of Denji's signature Pokémon, Electivire!

Compared to Denji's laziness, his Electabuzz was quite energetic, with arcs of light flashing between the two tentacles behind him that resembled electrical conduits.

Jinghe also threw out his Poké Ball.

"Then it's your choice, Great Blacksmith!"

"just!!"

Hammer Girl, carrying a hammer, made a domineering entrance with an air of arrogance.

Which door will they smash this time?

Eh?
It blinked and realized what was happening.

This isn't just about banging on doors; it's a fight.
"just!()"

That would be even more exciting!

"The Great Blacksmith?"

Denji narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the Pokémon Jinghe summoned. Wasn't it this cute little guy who smashed open the gym door with a single hammer blow?

How can a little pink girl with pigtails be so strong?
"Denji seems to be getting a little serious now."

Da Ye, who was in the audience, stared at Dian Ci and noticed the change in his expression. He then said with a hint of relief.

With his legs crossed, Wu Song said casually:
"After all, the opponent is Teacher Jing He."

That giant blacksmith, just a few days ago, smashed Regigigas to the ground with a single blow.

"The battle begins!"

With the referee's whistle, the match officially began.

however.

on the field.

The two people and their two Pokémon fell into an eerie silence.

Neither Jinghe nor Dianci initiated the attack, nor did anyone give the first order.

"We shouldn't launch a preemptive strike!" Da Ye said through gritted teeth.

Such a good opportunity, yet they didn't seize it; Denji has really changed.

He felt a sense of anger at their lack of ambition.

“Not all aggressive attacks bring an advantage; they can also be openings. Denji is much calmer than you,” Wusong said.

Seeing this, Jinghe chuckled softly.

"It seems you're quite certain that the Great Blacksmith isn't skilled in ranged attacks?"

He immediately commanded, "Great Blacksmith, cannon beam!"

"just!"

The blacksmith's hammer emitted a silvery-white metallic light, which quickly converged and then shot out as a beam of light.

In Denji's eyes, the metallic beam of light was getting closer and closer.

His expression tightened slightly as he gradually entered combat mode, and he said in a deep voice:
"Electric shock monster, thunder fist!"

The Electabuzz looked extremely ferocious, with electric sparks crackling on its two tentacles on its back. The fine currents resembled winding golden snakes, eventually converging on its fist.

"Roar!!"

With a roar, electricity erupted from its fist, meeting the incoming metallic beam head-on.

"This is getting interesting." Wu Song's expression turned serious.

Da Ye didn't say anything, but clenched his fists.

boom! !

The Electrified Beast actually smashed the incoming beam of light, roaring as it charged toward the Great Blacksmith, its two tentacles constantly crackling with electricity, making it seem to be getting faster and faster.

"Here it comes!" Da Ye shouted in a low voice, "Electric Engine, the signature feature of the Electric Vehicles, accelerate!"

[Electric Engine: Pokémon with this ability are unaffected by Electric-type moves, and gain a 1-stage Speed ​​boost when hit by an Electric-type move.]

Meanwhile, Electivire uses its tentacles on its back to continuously release lightning, thus accelerating itself and producing an effect almost identical to the "acceleration" ability.

"Electric shock monster, crazy volt!"

"Roar!!"

The Electrified Beast's speed increased, golden lightning surged from its body, enveloping it, and its "electric amplifiers" were operating at full power, crackling on its tentacles.

Have you finally mustered up some motivation?
Jing He narrowed his eyes slightly.

But that's all.
That's not enough!
He looked at the master blacksmith: "Playing around!"

"just!"

Facing the charging electric monster, the Greatsmith showed no fear, gripped his hammer tightly with both hands, and swung it without hesitation.

Golden lightning collided with pink stars.

boom! !

The deafening roar shattered countless fine electric currents and powerful shockwaves, causing both Dianci and Jinghe's clothes to flutter wildly.

A hint of fighting spirit slowly emerged in Dianci's light blue eyes.

This is an extremely formidable opponent!
After the collision, the electric monster's feet immediately plowed two deep furrows in the ground, and the great blacksmith also staggered.

"Roar!"

The Electric Beast revealed a fierce smile, its eyes blazing with a thirst for battle as it looked at the Greatsmith.

How long.
How long has it been since I've encountered an opponent like this!

"Roar--!!"

The Electrify Beast suddenly spread its arms, and its entire body burst forth with dazzling golden lightning, as if illuminating the entire arena.

even.

The gym, which had been drained of power by Rotom, is now gradually regaining power, and the lights are being restored as well.

"Well done, Electabuzz!" Big Leaf suddenly stood up.

Then he shouted towards the electric horn:
"Denji, take a good look at your Pokémon's thirst for battle!"

One of the best ways for Pokémon and their trainers to communicate is through battles.

Even Da Ye could sense Electabuzz's high fighting spirit, so how could Denji not sense it?

He took a deep breath, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"In that case."

"Electric Beast, maximum power, Lightning Strike!"

Shila-

The Electrifying Beast, which was showing signs of going berserk, was emitting a faint smell of burning, as it had pushed its "Power Amplifier" to its limit.

"That's what it looks like."

After a slight smile, Jing He's expression turned serious.

"Great Blacksmith, Mighty Hammer!"

This match doesn't need any tactics; let's just have a pure head-on battle!
"just!"

The master blacksmith let out a low shout, his twin ponytails flew up, and a vortex of air rippled outwards from them.

Then it took a step forward.

Kaka-

Centered on that small, pink foot, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground.

The incredibly heavy hammer was wielded with tremendous force in the hands of the master blacksmith.

It launched itself out like a small cannon, heading straight for the Electric Monster.

Denji's expression was serious. He felt the terrifying power of the Great Blacksmith, but at this point, there seemed to be no other choice but to go all out!
"Electric Beast!"

Boom! !

The dazzling golden lightning and the enormous hammer collided head-on once again, and the scene of lightning and golden light intertwined was reflected in Da Ye's pupils.

He looked a little dazed.

It's as if I can see a boy with short, golden hair and a boy with thick, red hair.

The scene where the two fought with all their might, using their respective Pokémon to unleash a final move to decide the outcome.

Inexplicable.

Da Ye's nose tingled slightly.

"I feel like Denji is coming back a bit."

boom! !

The lightning on the Electrified Beast exploded, and after rolling a few times on the ground, it lay quietly down.

But if you look closely, you'll see that there's no pain or dejection on Electivire's face; all you see is the satisfaction of having vented your frustrations after facing a powerful opponent.

"just--!!"

Bathed in golden light, the great blacksmith slammed his hammer handle heavily on the ground and nodded solemnly.

This opponent is not bad!
The master blacksmith has approved it!
click -

suddenly.

A huge crack appeared in the middle of the field.

next second.

boom! !

Under the referee's watchful gaze, which made him swallow hard, it exploded with a deafening roar!
"Electric shock monster, incapacitated!"
