Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 386 Jing He: Don't rush, let the soul fly a little longer~ (Seeking monthly votes!)
Unexpectedly, the Magmar took the lead and charged ahead.

However, some people were also caught in the crossfire.

For example, a pseudo-cameraman who wished to remain anonymous stated in a post-match interview:
Gaa! (﹏`)
The simple translation is—

You wouldn't believe it, just as I was about to take off, a burst of flame rushed towards me. At that moment, I felt as if I could already smell roast duck, fried sparrows, and roast pigeons.
Because Big Leaf and Duckbill Flame Beast did not target the contestants, they were not disqualified from the competition.

"Whoosh!" Da Ye shouted excitedly from inside the hot air balloon, "Duckbill Flame Beast, take off!"

Looking at the extremely "cool" large leaf, even Jing He forgot the thrill of Dragonite taking off; he just subconsciously murmured:

"Even the platypus can fly, so who can't fly?"

However, the Duckbill Flame Beast's "launch start" was clearly not sustainable for long. After gaining a brief lead, it was quickly overtaken by the vast majority of other beasts.

After all, if it flies slower than Magmortar, it's a bit of a disgrace to Flying-type Pokémon.

Moreover, they may suffer secondary or even multiple injuries.
Instead, the one who will take the lead will be our future Flying-type Elite Four member, Wataru!
Following closely behind was Naki, the gym leader of the Yuen Yuen Gym, riding on the back of a Altaria.

As for Jinghe
He gripped the protective gear expressionlessly, pressing it tightly against the Dragonite's body.

It must be said that his "driving" experience was indeed much better after he put on the protective gear.

Despite the strong winds still rushing past on both sides, he still felt as if his body was flying ahead while his soul was drifting behind.
"I feel like I'm back to normal!" Jing He took a deep breath.

How can there be such practical equipment as flight protective gear in the world?
"Woo?"

Dragonite turned its head and called out softly.

Jinghe forced a smile.

He knew that Dragonite loved to fly and loved to carry him, but some unpleasant experiences during previous flights had left the little guy with a slight worry.

It likes to fly with Jinghe, but it's also worried about hurting her, so...
Upon receiving Jinghe's approval, Dragonite let out a joyful roar.

Meanwhile, Garchomp, which was flying not far from them, and Cynthia, who was half-crouched on Garchomp's back and looked countless times cooler than Jing He, also cast inquiring glances.

Jing He gave her a thumbs up.

Cynthia smiled slightly and gently patted Garchomp's neck.

"Roar--!!"

Garchomp then unleashed its full power, roaring as it increased its speed.

"woo"

"No problem, fly freely~~~ fly!!!"

Suddenly, the dragon made a downward dive and disappeared into the woods of the designated track, leaving Jinghe's soul even further behind.

Look!

The competition host shouted loudly at the live broadcast screen:

"How professional Coach Jinghe's movements are! He's pressed tightly against the Dragonite's back, do you know why?"

"This reduces air resistance, allowing for faster communication and command of Dragonite, and more importantly—it minimizes the risk of unknown dangers!"

"Has everyone learned it?"

Pulling-

Entering the forest, the loud commotion stirred up the Pokémon that lived there.

"Watch out for Pidgey!"

"Oh no, it's the poison powder from the mealy moth!"

"Wait, why are these beedrill chasing me?!"

The difficulty of the race suddenly increased, and many contestants were subjected to a "welcome ceremony" from wild Pokémon.

Especially those trainers who ride on the backs of Pokémon.

This demonstrates the "professionalism" of Jinghe's flight posture.

One by one, they began to imitate Jinghe's posture.

It inexplicably became a classic case study in some "flight classes".

However, for some trainers and Pokémon skilled in flight, such obstacles obviously cannot stop them from flying.

Sudden——

A-Du, still leading the way, rushed out of the woods and into the rocky forest.

The other contestants followed closely behind.

Once inside the chaotic rock forest, it became a time for the players to differentiate themselves, and many players began to showcase their individual skills.

"Tropical dragon, charge!"

"Shuttlecock cotton, it's your turn!"

The chlorophyll ability begins to take effect in sunny weather, and Pokémon with the chlorophyll ability receive a speed boost.

[Chlorophyll: In sunny weather, Pokémon with this ability have their Speed ​​stat doubled.]

"The tropical dragon and the shuttlecock are catching up rapidly and are already closing in on the first group!"

The so-called first tier actually consists of Awakening, Naki, and Cynthia.

A-Du's Dragonite speed is beyond doubt. He has been dispatched on many emergency missions by the Investigation Department, which has given him rich flying experience and the ability to deal with various complex terrains.

The same applies to Naki and Altaria; they are the hosts and are more familiar with the terrain.

Judging from how calmly Naki followed behind Dragonite, it was clear that neither she nor Altaria had fully exerted their strength yet.

As running enthusiasts know, leading is a huge advantage for runners in second place, as it reduces air resistance significantly.

As for Cynthia
Is there any flight method more complex and difficult than flying down from Tianguan Mountain?

Jinghe is in the second tier.

In Jinghe's words—this is called tactics!
Mikori and Tsubaki were also with them.

Seeing that Tropical Dragon and Jumpluff were about to catch up with the first group, Mikuri glanced at Naki's back and smiled slightly.

"Pufferfish".

Dark clouds began to appear in the sky.

The host shouted:

"It's the 'rainfall' characteristic! The 'chlorophyll' has lost its function!"

Jing He glanced at Mikoli, who was smiling. He really wanted to tell Mikoli—

If you like her, just tell her loudly! And shout out what you've done for her too!

Stop playing the game of keeping quiet and selflessly dedicating yourself. How are people supposed to know if you don't tell them?

Don't turn into a swallow in the end; how can I live without you?

"Wow! Big Leaf's Duckbill Flame Beast is catching up!" the host exclaimed again.

"Charge, Flamebeast!"

The extremely complex rocky forest, a place that hinders the flight of flying Pokémon, became a foothold for Magmortar, which could use its large leaves. Magmortar stepped onto a towering rock pillar, spewed out scorching flames, and launched itself forward again.

This drew shouts from a group of contestants.

It seems that it has become even more difficult for Daye to leave Yinyu City.

Even Jinghe could feel the scorching heat wave behind him.

This made his expression tighten.

Losing to the Flying-type Elite Four member, losing to the Flying expert Naki, or losing to Cynthia are all fine, but losing to Da Ye Jing He in flying makes me feel like I might have a stain on my life.

He gritted his teeth and said to Dragonite:
"Dragonite, charge!"

Having flown for some time without any incidents, it indicates that Dragonite's "luck conservation" judgment has entered a lucky phase.

Then there's nothing to worry about.

"Woo!!"

Upon receiving this answer, Dragonite let out a long, happy cry, flapped its wings twice, and its speed increased dramatically.

It was clear that it was worried about whether Jinghe could handle it, so it had kept its flight at a distance earlier.

With this surge of effort, they gradually caught up with the leading group.

"Wow!! Teacher Jinghe is finally starting to put in the effort!"

Upon realizing this, the host quickly shouted:

"He really was conserving his energy!"

Keep the hammer!
Jinghe finally "saw" something.

The sooner you reach the finish line, the sooner it ends.

"Now the athletes fly out of the rocky forest and enter the final valley section!"

The top-tier players and their Pokémon have also begun their sprint.

Naki was the first to take the lead.

"The Bluebird of the Seventh Night, the Dance of the Dragon!"

Then came A-Du, who was about to be caught, his cloak fluttering in the wind.

"Dragonite, let's do the Dragon Dance too!"

"Roar!!" (I'm so angry!)
Cynthia's Garchomp roared, and then she saw...
Jinghe and Dragonite, who also used Dragon Dance, flew past it little by little.

This wave.

This is truly dancing on the edge of a knife.
call--

suddenly.

A strong gust of wind blew in their face; this was the natural wind of the valley, which undoubtedly posed a significant obstacle to the athletes' flight.

But Naki was already quite adept at it, and calmly gave instructions as the strong wind blew in:
"Bluebird of the Double Seventh Festival, may the wind be favorable!"

Finding a breakthrough in the airflow, and using it to his advantage, he overtook Lance and Dragonite in one fell swoop.

Garchomp has finally arrived at its "home turf".

They often flew down from Mount Tianguan with Cynthia, and they were also very good at dealing with headwinds, surpassing Jinghe and Adu.

"Roar--!"

As it passed Jing He, Garchomp even "provokingly" brandished its sharp scythe at him.

Despite falling behind, A-Du didn't panic or become discouraged. Instead, he calmly shouted to Jing-He:
"Jing He, the time has come for a showdown!"

It seemed that in his eyes, neither the Altaria nor the Garchomp posed a threat.

After all, this is a Dragonite that can circle the Earth in 16 hours!

However, Jing He ignored him completely and continued to keep her head down.

Are you so serious?
A-Du's expression also turned serious.

"It seems Jinghe also values ​​this match. We can't lose, Dragonite!" Adu said to his Dragonite.

“Woo~!!”

Lance's Dragonite responded quickly, its body glowing white.

Speedy!
Seeing this, Jinghe's Dragonite was not to be outdone and also unleashed a lightning-fast pursuit!
"Now, we've entered the final sprint stage!! I can already feel the athletes' burning desire for the championship!!"

"The Azure Bird of the Seventh Night, the divine bird launches a fierce attack!"

Naki was the first to enter the sprint stage.

"Greco-Greco, Dragon Dive!"

"Dragonite, let's use Dragon Dive!"

With a lightning-fast Dragon Dive, Wataru regained the lead.

Jing He: "!!"

These lunatics!
Faced with so many Dragon-type Pokémon, the fiercely competitive Dragonite became especially serious.

A deep purple dragon coat also appeared on its body, enveloping both Jing He and the dragon.

Jinghe's waveguide can sense Dragonite's competitive spirit.

Gritting his teeth.

Damn it, when a person dies, the bird flies to the sky; if they don't die, they live for ten thousand years!

Jinghe, who could no longer speak, could only convey his meaning to the dragon through waveguide.

Don't worry about me, Dragonite, kill it!

“Woo~!!”

Wuhu! !
Dragonite let out a long roar, and as it was enveloped in a super-fast airflow and its dragon coat, a faint blue light appeared around its body.

A further combination of waveguide and fragments of grass-green jewels.
At this moment, Rayquaza in the ozone layer: Hmm? A chat pop-up?
"Teacher Jinghe, you've crossed the finish line first!!!" The host's shouts resounded throughout the venue.

Adu, who came in second place, exclaimed that Jinghe really had a trump card; no wonder she was so calm.

But Dragonite's speed was really fast just now. What was that blue aura that almost tore through the air at the end?
Naki and Qixi Qingniao, who came in third place, said: "This time, we played a high-level game!"

And what about Garchomp Leaf, which came in fourth place? Where is Leaf?

With a blank expression, Jing He dismounted from the Dragonite and stepped onto the gravel ground, his legs buckling. Fortunately, Cynthia subtly supported him.

Congratulations, Jinghe.

Adu and the others stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

Jing He abruptly raised her hand to stop everyone, and said calmly:

"Don't rush, let the soul fly a little longer."
