Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 375 A New Year, A New Look! (Seeking monthly votes!)

On July 1, the weather was sunny.

A new year, a new first day.

Early in the morning, Jinghe received all sorts of New Year's greetings.

Some came from his students, Steven and his friends; some came from the Academy teachers; some came from Team Rocket, Professor Oak and other people from the Kanto and Johto regions; and some came from Sinnoh, Kalos, Galar and other regions.

Looking at the blessings that almost overflowed the screen, Jinghe realized...
"I didn't realize I already knew so many people."

Among them were not only "celebrities" but also many ordinary people, including some ordinary trainers who consulted him about Pokémon psychological issues, all of whom sent their blessings.

"Happy New Year."

Cynthia's voice, tinged with a deep sense of languor, came through the phone.

Judging from this, it seems they haven't gotten up yet.

"Happy New Year." Jinghe laughed, "Still not up? The sun's already high in the sky."

"Well"

It's like a sound.

But it doesn't seem like she got out of bed; she just rolled over.

“I’m facing the window now,” Cynthia said.

Jinghe wiped her forehead.

When did you become so "smart"?

"Perhaps... you didn't even open the curtains?" Jing He said, embarrassed.

"Yes."

Jing He: "."

Where is the clever, witty, and domineering Sister Cabbage hiding?

Tell me! Did you lock him up?
After ending his call with Cynthia, his phone rang again immediately.

Happy New Year, Teacher Jinghe!

"Let's have fun together."

Unexpectedly, the call came from Lila of the International Police Department.

Even from the other end of the phone, Jinghe could faintly hear some sounds of fighting.

"What are you"

"It's nothing, we're just capturing a few Pokémon hunters," Lila said with a smile.

Good guy.

Even during the Lunar New Year, Pokémon hunters are quite busy.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's similar to being a thief. People are more relaxed during the Lunar New Year, so it's easier for them to do things, right?

"Thank you for your hard work," Jinghe said.

Both international police and coalition police work very hard, even during the New Year, they have to be on duty or carry out missions.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lila revealed the real purpose of the call.

"Congratulations, Teacher Jinghe. In recognition of your outstanding performance in 'Operation Snow Peak' and 'Operation Water Vein,' the International Police Department has officially promoted you to the rank of 'Superintendent'!" Lila announced.

Superintendent is the rank of police officer above Superintendent.

If a police inspector is equivalent to the head of the criminal investigation department, then a police superintendent is roughly equivalent to the head of the criminal affairs department.

Although it may seem like just a small promotion in police rank, it represents a completely different meaning.

Superintendents are senior operational personnel primarily responsible for mission operations.

The Superintendent is a police rank that has just reached the threshold of a commander, and is qualified to arrange and plan an operation or mission.

In other words.

This promotion in police rank means that Jing He has officially entered the "management level".

It's worth noting that Lila has worked diligently and conscientiously in the International Police Department for ten years, and her current rank is only Superintendent.

It is only one level higher than a superintendent.

The superintendent of police already has the authority to coordinate covert operations in a region.

The next level up, the Superintendent of Police and the Superintendent General of Police, are already the heads and deputy heads of a region!
Of course, Jing He is a specially appointed professional, which is different from Lila, who rose through the ranks based on her political achievements.

"The first bad news of the new year, cough, no, good news." Jing He forced a smile.

For others, a promotion in police rank is more important than anything else, as it is a recognition of their abilities, but for Jinghe, a bonus might be more appropriate.

Regarding police rank, Jing He's attitude was similar to that of the handsome guy.

However, the promotion in police rank will be helpful for him in his future fights against Pokémon hunters.

After all, his family has gained another "victim," Alcremie.

After Lila, more and more phone calls came in.

For example, Professor Oak.

"Jinghe, I'm interested in Regigigas. Did you record its information? Great! Let's study it together next time. That way, we'll have a topic for this year's researchers' conference."

You clearly set the height to be less than four meters.
"By the way, did you text Kikuko? I texted her but she didn't reply." Professor Oak's voice carried a hint of doubt.

So the New Year's greetings were fake, and asking Kikuko Tenoh was the real purpose, right?
How long are we supposed to keep this mouthpiece?
And there's Adu.

Even during the New Year, he continued to fight crime.

Even though the Rockets gave him a break, he still has to work in the investigation department. It feels like the investigation department job is becoming a "part-time job" for him.

When Jinghe heard that the Rockets had promoted Adu, he almost spat out his water.

Another example:
Sabrina, preparing for the New Year's feast: "You haven't updated your recipes in a long time. Hurry up and release new ones. Alakazam can't wait."

Lorelei, who will graduate in six months, said: "I've noticed that Pokémon like Ice Ninetales seem to be very effective against Dragon and Flying types?"

The Rockets trio, still filming: "Happy New Year! Teacher Jinghe (meow)! Swoosh~ Nonghi!"

Da Ye & Dian Ci: "I don't know why, but I got beaten up by the boss last night."

Wusong, who's starting to work overtime: "Kikuno Tenno actually assigned me a mission!" Ma Shide: "Little Hehe, Happy New Year! We're doing great, no need to come visit us on Armor Island!"

Dr. Blatano: "Jinghe, I'm ready to publish it. Shall I send it to you first and see if there's anything I need to add?"

Shui Lian: "Teacher Jing He, I think I saw Lugia!"

Mao: "Brand new 100,000 Volt Pineapple Juice! When are you coming to Alola, Teacher Jinghe? I'll treat you to some!"

Jinghe even received a message from Boss Sakaki.

With a new goal in mind, Sakaki said: "Happy New Year, thank you for the gift. I understand what you mean. In this new year, we will reach a new level."

Look, as expected of Boss Sakaki, his words are full of depth, a brand new level.

Jinghe just didn't quite understand what Boss Sakaki understood.
After that, blessings continued to arrive one after another.

Clearly, this was destined to be an eventful morning.

The main reason is the group message Jinghe sent after midnight last night.

But chatting with these friends can be quite nice sometimes.

They could only send blessings and invitations via mobile phone or text message, but Daigo and his friends were different.

Happy New Year, teacher!

Daigo, Aya, and Cuckoo arrived together.

They also presented each of them with gifts they had prepared.

Daigo gave a metal film, Aya gave a piece of charcoal, and Cuckoo gave a hard rock.

These are all expensive props.

It's clear that Jinghe's students understand him well and know what he lacks.

As for return gifts...
Jinghe had already made preparations in Sinnoh.

doll.

Everyone is a puppet, and everyone is equal.

Steven's Pokémon is Mawile (a Steel-type Pokémon), Aysa's is Torkoal (a Fire-type Pokémon), and Cuckoo's is Rockruff (a Rockruff-type Pokémon).

"No, teacher, why are all their Pokémon plushies cute, but mine is Torkoal? It's not that Torkoal is bad, it's just..."

Aysa rubbed the shell of the coal turtle doll, rolling it round and flat, her mouth bulging out in confusion.

"Of course, it's because coal turtles are perfect for picnics," Jinghe thought to herself.

However, one cannot say it aloud.

He blatantly lied with his eyes wide open:
"Well, you don't understand. Torkoal is one of the few Pokémon with the 'Sunlight' ability, making it a perfect fit for your Fire-type Pokémon team."

Upon hearing this, Asha immediately understood Jinghe's "good intentions".

"Then, teacher, where's my rock dog?" Du Juan couldn't help but ask.

"well."

Jinghe pondered for a moment, "Dujuan, you are good at defense but not good at offense. The evolved form of Rockruff, Lycanroc, can greatly make up for your shortcomings, as well as your weakness in speed."

"I see," Du Juan realized.

Although Rockruff is an Alola region Pokémon, she would be willing to make the trip if it were to make up for her own shortcomings.

The three of them immediately understood.

This gift wasn't just a doll; it was also a suggestion and guidance from Teacher Jinghe.

"So, teacher, my Mawile is also like that?" the still handsome Daigo asked with some curiosity.

"Cover up. While Steel-type Pokémon are powerful, they're somewhat less effective against Dragon-type Pokémon."

When it was Daigo's turn, Jinghe was already calm and composed, and answered without batting an eye.

Furthermore, most of Steven's Pokémon are Steel and Rock types, and the Fairy-type Mawile can also make up for the weakness of being several times weak to Fighting.

Another point.

Steven's Pokémon are all too "tough". I feel like adding a cute and tsundere girl would make things much more interesting.

“I understand.” Daigo nodded seriously.

Jinghe wiped her forehead discreetly.

Actually tell the truth.

The most suitable characters for Daigo are probably Magearna, Diancie, or even the Sword King.

Especially Diancie, Daigo would definitely be overjoyed to see her.

However, these three Pokémon are all too rare, and it's not something you can just find if you want to catch them.

and many more.

Jinghe suddenly realized.

He gave it to Boss Sakaki, Meow Meow. Could it be that he also "interpreted" something from it that he hadn't even thought of?
Forget it
"Let's go, I'll treat you to our cafe's new desserts!" Jing He changed his mind and waved his hand generously.

"A new dessert?" Du Juan and Ya Sha immediately became interested.

Jinghe's café is now quite well-known throughout Hoenn, not only because it is the "eighth battle facility," but also because its coffee and desserts are indeed quite good.

"Attendant, Frost Milk Fairy, it's time to receive guests!"

"Ai-yi~~"

"Ee-ma~~"

"Frozen Milk Fairy? So cute!"

Even Aysa couldn't help but show a girlish expression when she saw Alcremie.

It has to be said that Alcremie is almost a killer for girls.

Jinghe could already imagine the expression on Cynthia's face when she saw Alcremie and tasted Alcremie's fresh cream the next time she came to visit.

The coffee shop is open again!
A new year, a new look!
