Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 364 This isn't the bus to kindergarten! (4400 words, please vote!)

"Pikachu~ Pikachu~!"

Pikachu, who is Denji's first Pokémon and first partner, is the one who can best sense Denji's changes.

From his initial laziness to being ignited by Edenbi's wholehearted dedication to the battle, Denji's hidden fighting spirit was gradually awakened.

Although it is far from reaching its original level, it has changed a lot from before.

This made Pikachu very excited.

At the same time, its warlike nature also rose uncontrollably.

After all, it was once a creature that could rival the Great Leaf's Infernape, and in terms of its desire for battle and its passion for combat, it was not much less than the Great Leaf's Infernape.

and so.

Pikachu blinked at Denji and volunteered to go into battle.

Seeing Pikachu's expression, Denji paused, looking slightly dazed.

He seemed to realize it somewhat belatedly.

So all my Pokémon are so keen on battling?

They simply hid their warlike hearts to be considerate of themselves.
Electivire is like that, and it seems Pikachu is too.

Taking a slight breath, Dianci nodded and said:
"In that case, you go ahead, Pikachu."

"Pickup!"

Pikachu jolted awake, then immediately smiled, gently patting its cheeks with both hands, and sparks flew from its red electric sacs.

He immediately ran towards the field.

Pikachu?

Jinghe called the Great Blacksmith back, and after a moment's thought, threw out another Poké Ball.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Tan-chan."

"Gurgle!!"

Tanjiro glanced back at the Pokémon egg that Gengar was holding, and his enthusiasm instantly soared.

Prenatal education should start from a young age. If the unborn little one can feel its warmth, he will surely grow into a strong and upright man in the future.

"Charcoal Servant?"

Denji subconsciously looked at Daiya in the audience, and Daiya happened to be looking at him as well.

The spirited Samurai reminded Denji of the little Flame Monkey from back in the day.

Dai-ye winked at Denji, who in turn gave Dai-ye an affirmative look.

Dianci: I understand, friend.

Da Ye: No, you don't understand. You must be careful of that Charcoal Servant! Be careful!
The battle continues!

"Charcoal Servant, Flamethrower!" This time, Jing He didn't wait for Dian Ci to make a move, but instead seized the opportunity to attack first.

"Gurgle!"

Charcoal Servant, whose entire body was burning red like charcoal, clasped his hands together, and orange flames surged from his hands!
The firelight reflected in Dianci's eyes.

It also seemed to reflect into his heart.

Suddenly, a surging column of fire burst forth, and the scorching heat transformed into a heat wave that swept across the entire area!

The power of this jet of flame
Dianci seemed to finally understand the meaning behind Da Ye's gaze.

But this flame
It seemed to truly pull him back to the past, to the scene when he faced that indomitable red-haired afro-haired boy.

For the first time, a smile appeared on Dianci's face.

"Pikachu, use Quick Attack to dodge, then unleash Wild Volt!"

"Pikachu! Pikachu! Pikachu—!!"

A white light suddenly appeared on Pikachu's body, and it avoided the very center of the flamethrower at top speed.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of golden electricity enveloped his body, and he turned around and rushed towards Tan Xiaoshi, turning defense into offense and passivity into initiative!
What it relies on, of course, is the speed that Pikachu, a Pokémon, is proud of.

"The reaction speed is much faster than at the beginning, and it can accurately and quickly find the weak points in the flames," Wu Song commented.

Upon hearing this, Da Ye grinned.

"Because this guy knows fire very well. I think there aren't many people who know better than him how to deal with Fire-type Pokémon."

hum-

The Poké Ball on Bigleaf's waist opened on its own, and Infernape appeared beside him.

As former friends and rivals, Infernape also longs to see Zenyatta and Pikachu restored.

"Ku!"

"right?"

Da Ye glanced at Infernape, then looked back at the arena.

"He's an electric scooter!"

Is it an electric one?
Wusong nodded slightly.

A smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"But his opponent is Teacher Jing He!"

"Charcoal Servant!" Jing He called out.

"Gurgle!!"

The understanding Charcoal Servant took a deep breath, and as he opened and closed his eyes, a burst of intense light ignited in them, and a surge of wave power rose up.

Furthermore, Tan Xiaoshi's body was burned even more intensely red.

Bear!!

All of a sudden.

The flames, which Pikachu had seemingly dodged, suddenly surged like a wave.

"Here we go again," Da Ye murmured.

My gaze involuntarily fell on Infernape once again.

Perhaps Fire-type Pokémon should really eat some charcoal?
"Ku?"

Infernape felt a sudden jolt in its heart.

at the same time.

"Pikachu!"

Upon seeing this, Dianci was startled and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Pica! Pica!"

But see.

Amidst the raging flames, Pikachu, shrouded in golden lightning, endured the searing pain and carved a path through the inferno.

Denji finally managed to pull himself together, and I absolutely cannot let him fail now!

"Pika~chu!!"

Despite the flames, Pikachu charged at top speed to Tanjiro and rammed into him with gritted teeth.

boom! !

Tanjiro was sent flying backwards, and Pikachu also staggered to the ground, white steam rising from its body, which was also slightly red.

Burning state!
But Pikachu's gaze was extremely firm, and it was panting heavily as it stared intently at Tanjiro.

"Pikachu," Dianci murmured.

"Gurgle—"

Having been hit, Samurai stood still and nodded slightly to Pikachu.

That resilience alone deserves respect!

"Pikachu, Voltorb!" Denji shouted suddenly, waving his hand.

A trainer's emotions can affect Pokémon.

However, the emotions of the Pokémon will also affect the trainers!
Whether it's Electivire or Pikachu.

As someone who raised them to this level of strength and spent every day with them, how could Denji not sense their thoughts?

in particular.

When you see Pikachu forcefully carving a path through the flames.

Denji felt as if something inside him had been touched.

this moment.

He just wanted to respond to Pikachu.

Without hesitation, Pikachu jumped up, a golden ball condensing at the tip of its tail, and hurled it at Samurai.

"Pika~chu!"

"The best way to counter thunder is with fire!"

Jing He's eyes narrowed. "Charcoal Servant, Flash Charge!"

Bear!!

In an instant, the feather on Tan Xiaoshi's head flashed, and a golden flame spread out from its forehead, covering its entire body with flames intertwined with the breath of life.

Boom! !
A cloud of dust suddenly rose from the field, accompanied by sparks and electric arcs.

Denji's hands involuntarily clenched into fists as he stared intently at the center of the explosion.

Was Tanjiro blocked?

next second.

"Gurgle—!!"

Bathed in flames, Samurai burst out of the smoke and dust, sending Pikachu flying as it couldn't dodge in time.

"Pikachu!"

Denji strode forward and caught Pikachu as it flew backward.

However, Tanjiro's impact was not so easily blocked.

One person and one Pokémon were rammed directly into the wall of the gym's spectator stands.

Jinghe's lips twitched upon seeing this scene.

Do trainers who raise Pikachu do it this way?
Just because you're healthy doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, right?

Referee, can't you see it?
Foul!
But this collision...

This made Denji completely recall his childhood—

He and Da Ye went to fight a poacher, but they were no match for him. When Pikachu was knocked away, he caught the little guy in this way. "Pikachu."

Pikachu immediately rolled over and looked at Denji with concern.

"I am fine."

Dianci shook his head.

fine?

The wall is clearly cracked.

Dianci staggered a couple of times before standing up, looking at Jinghe with a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jinghe."

Jinghe waved his hand.

His original intention was to help Denji recover; Cynthia had already done that by simply beating him up, but it had little effect.

That's why he tried using Samurai to face Pikachu.

On one hand, fire evokes memories of electricity, and on the other hand, fire is more likely to resonate with others, as well as with oneself.

Denji took a deep breath, nodded, and looked at Pikachu again.

The exchange of glances between the person and the Pokémon required no further words.

They have only one common goal at this moment.

Enjoy this battle to the fullest!
"Then, evolve, Pikachu!"

Jing He: "??"

Denji then took out a "Thunder Stone" that was flashing with arc light.

He had prepared this a long time ago, but for some reason, he had not used it for a long time.

He felt that now was the best opportunity!
"Pickup!!"

Pikachu nodded without hesitation, its tail gently touching the Thunder Stone.

hum-

The light of evolution suddenly burst forth, and Pikachu's appearance gradually changed within the light of evolution.

"Thunder~ Thunder!"

When the dazzling white light faded, what appeared in everyone's sight was a Pokémon larger than Pikachu, with orange-yellow fur and a longer, thinner tail tipped with lightning bolts.

Raichu!

A golden arc of light flashed like lightning!

"Thunder~ Thunder!!"

Raichu returned to the field.

Fortunately, although Denji's Pikachu evolved into Raichu, it did not completely restore Raichu's condition.

As it turns out, the fourth generation didn't have the protagonist's halo.

"Enjoy the battle, Jinghe-sensei!" Dianci said in a deep voice, swinging his arm.

Jing He raised an eyebrow.

So you've regained your fighting spirit, haven't you?
So next, we should set a goal for the next generation!

So that he has a goal to strive for!

so.
Waveguide, boost me!
"Tan Xiaoshi, the big characters are Explosion Flame!"

Da Ye, sitting in the audience, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly said:
"They're back, they're all back."

Wusong glanced at him sideways.

Is it Dianci who's back, or Teacher Jinghe?
"Gurgle!!"

Sparks flew from Charcoal Servant's body. At this moment, it was like a completely burning piece of firewood. The flames on its body did not look very intense, but the temperature was extremely high.

Then it clasped its arms together.

The terrifying flames swept in like a tidal wave.

"Raichu, thunder!!"

"Thunder~ Thunder—!!"

Boom——! !

Lightning burst forth, a millstone-sized bolt of lightning shot out from Raiqiu's body, actually carving a golden path through the surging waves of fire.

but.

At this moment, Tan Xiaoshi's flames were fluctuating.

After one wave comes an even stronger one!
Tan Xiaoshi also often learned the secrets of combo-style attacks from Coach Xiong.

boom! !

In the end, the lightning was engulfed by the flames, along with the newly evolved Raichu!
Although Raichu was given greater power after evolving, it still didn't have a good grasp of itself after evolving.

"They're getting serious now," Wu Song said solemnly from the audience.

No wonder he's the head of the eighth gym.

If Denji had been more focused from the start, or if Raichu had evolved much earlier, this battle might not have been so easy.

Even so, Denji demonstrated their strength.

of course.

Teacher Jinghe's Tan Xiaoshi seems to have become stronger than when he fought against Daye.

The undulating flames also became even more intense.

How can someone keep making progress?
"Infernape" Big Leaf nuzzled its companion beside it and whispered, "Shall we try making a piece of charcoal when we get back?"

Infernape: "??"

Can you afford it?
and also
I'm the charcoal myself, and I'm the monkey!

Just as they were each pondering, Denji brought Raichu back.

"You did a great job, Raichu. Now, let the other members take over!"

“Rai~ Rai~” The weak Raichu nodded with difficulty.

Then, Denji threw his last Poké Ball.

"Roentgen cat!"

Tanjiro isn't in great shape either. If Xenogears seizes the opportunity, he could easily defeat Tanjiro.

But Jinghe called Tan Xiaoshi back.

Instead, it was...
"Genga!!"

This little devil makes a dazzling appearance!
Since we're setting a goal for Electric, there's no one more suitable than Gengar.

"Gengar?"

Dian Ci frowned slightly, his expression serious.

This battle.
It's probably going to be tough.

This time, Denji, having regained his fighting spirit, finally launched a fierce attack: "Roentgenmere, Electric Terrain!"

"Roar!!"

Sensing the electric energy, Xeno'jiiva became highly motivated, raising its head and roaring. Its "fighting spirit" also made it even more eager to win when facing Gengar.

hum-

A golden aura emanated from the center of the X-Rayet cat and spread outwards.

Jing He revealed a mocking smile.

"Gengar, trick!"

I saw.

Gengar now has an imposing sash in its hand, which it happily ties around its head.

And the Röntgen cat
A dark purple aura of poison appeared on his body.

Extremely poisonous!
Da Ye, sitting in the audience, took a slight breath.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Wu Song's eyes gleamed.

So the trick of the bronze bell was learned?

"Gengar, Will-o'-the-Wisp."

In an instant, Gengar's body floated into the air, and three ghostly blue flames appeared beside it, crashing down on Xeno'jiiva.

boom--

Amidst the flying sparks, the Röntgen cat was once again "burned".

The Pokémon used in the Electric series are all Electric-type Pokémon, and most of them are Electric-type Pokémon that are better at physical attacks. This is true for Electivire, Pikachu, and Luxray.

The "burn" effect, which halves the attack damage, is a huge limitation for Roentgenrakili.

Denji frowned. "Roentgenfell Cat, 100,000 volts!"

Although Luxray is better at physical attacks, it doesn't mean it can't do special attacks.

bang——

Gengar was struck head-on by the condensed electric current, but it dissipated like black mist.

at the same time.

Behind the Röntgen Cat, a rift in dimensional space opened, and a small sphere shimmering with peculiar light floated out.

Strange light!

"Stop!" Da Ye's body trembled slightly as he rubbed the goosebumps rising on his arms, muttering, "This kind of fight can't bring any excitement."

The Röntgen cat was immediately put into the "Confused" state again.

For a while.

Dianci was a little dumbfounded.

Why does it feel like Teacher Jinghe is a completely different person?
The tactics used in the battle are completely different from before?
That's the feeling I get from him right now.
This isn't the bus to kindergarten!
"Gengar." Jing He's smile widened. "Misfortunes never come singly!"

Therefore, smiles are conserved; they simply shift from one person's face to another's.

A sudden change in tactics can catch the opponent off guard if they are not familiar with you.

This is not.

Denji and his Röntgen cat misjudged the appropriate course of action from beginning to end.
