Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 391 This is no joke! (Seeking monthly votes!)

August 1, early morning.

Cynthia sat cross-legged on Jinghe's recliner in the courtyard, flipping through the book in her hands with a focused expression.

This was written by Jinghe in his spare time—or rather, copied.

After all, the profession of "copycat" is actually quite lucrative.

Especially in the Pokémon world, where the existence of Pokémon has led to absurdly skewed technology, culture, and entertainment systems.

"Well"

At the end, Cynthia flipped to the very beginning, seemingly to confirm the book title.

"The story of how I was banned for 500 years because I was incredibly strong from the start?"

Jing He smiled and accepted the coffee from her younger brother, who was serving her. She stroked the ice-cold nine-tailed fox in her arms, took a small sip, and asked:

"How about it?"

Cynthia nodded seriously. "That's good. I think if Wanlong knew, he would be eager to talk to you."

Wanlong, another close friend of Cynthia, will become one of the Elite Four of the Unova region, and is also a novelist.

Jing He's expression hardened. "I don't know her."

Hirona smiled, and the topic returned to the book.

"However, it seems it's not finished?"

Upon hearing this, Jing He breathed a slight sigh of relief, then smiled and said:

"Yes, the whole book should be called 'The Story of Me, Who Was Super Strong from the Start, and Was Banned for 500 Years, and Traveled with My Weak Master But Still Recruited People Along the Way'."

"Ok?"

Cynthia tilted her head to the side.

This name.
It sounds like it has a story behind it.

She gently rubbed her chin twice.

"how?"

Then Cynthia handed the book back to Jinghe, smiled brightly, and uttered two words:
"Push for more updates."

Jing He: "."

"Ku~kuku~! zzz"

Putting away her book, Cynthia's gaze was drawn to the bear apprentice in the yard.

"My apprentice bear is working so hard! I saw it practicing its boxing last night, and it was still practicing when it woke up."

Jinghe felt ashamed. "Our Xiongxiong is like that, he's quite hardworking."

He didn't know how to explain the matter of him punching while sleeping to Cynthia.

Sleeping Arhat Fist?
Cynthia nodded thoughtfully.

"No wonder Lucario said that in terms of boxing and fighting skills alone, it might not be as good as the bear apprentice."

Bo~!

The bear apprentice's snot bubble suddenly burst, and it plopped down on the ground, rubbed its eyes, yawned deeply, and then stood up.

It patted the dust off its rear end and wagged its short, black tail twice with a "gurgling" sound.

It looked at Jinghe, touched its belly, and smiled.

This expression has only one meaning—

hungry.

Jing He smiled helplessly.

Another "drawback" of practicing boxing in one's sleep is that Xiong's apprentice gets hungry faster than anyone else.

After all, it's like it's constantly and intensely expending its energy.

"Oh, by the way, the Sinnoh League has already prepared the rewards. They'll be delivered to you the next time you go to Sinnoh," Cynthia said.

A reward? A reward for appeasing Regigigas?

So troublesome?

We'll have to wait until his next trip to Sinnoh to give it to him?

"What is it?" Jinghe asked curiously.

"I don't know the specifics, but judging from their demeanor, it must be quite valuable."

Why make it so precious?
Jinghe rubbed her temples.

Cynthia smiled slightly, "And the funding for the last research and investigation project has also come through."

Ok?
Jinghe's eyes lit up.

Isn't that
"I've already had Grandma transfer the money to your card."

Jinghe took out her phone and looked at it.

really!

Ten million Alliance Coins have been credited to your account!
After deducting the one million Alliance Coins he owed for buying New Year's gifts for the kids last time, he still had nine million left!

the most important is
This is a grant, part of project funding, and is tax-free!
"Let's go! I'll treat you to a big meal today!" Jing He waved his hand.

I still haven't used any of the vouchers I won at the Seven Stars Restaurant last time, so I'll try them out in Kanaz City to see if they work.

January 13th, Monday, morning, sunny.

Cynthia ended her short vacation, boarded Garchomp, and prepared to fly directly from Hoenn back to Sinnoh.

Unlike Jinghe, whose winter break is as long as that of students, she still has many unfinished projects and investigations to complete.

However, when she was with Jinghe, she had to take a plane, so it was undoubtedly much more convenient when she was alone.

"Then, I'll be waiting for you in Sinnoh."

"Cynthia said as she climbed onto Garchomp's back."

The start time of the Lily of the Valley Tournament is not far away, and Jinghe has already completed the registration with Dr. Yamanashi.

"it is good!"

Cynthia smiled gently and patted Garchomp's back lightly.

"Roar--!!"

Garchomp let out a long roar and immediately soared into the sky, leaving two trails of air in its wake.

Back when Garchomp first took off at Jinghe's house, the little blacksmith almost hit it with a rock.

"It's like... I've forgotten something."

Watching the departing figure, Jing He frowned slightly.

"never mind."

It probably isn't anything important. Meanwhile, far away in the forests of Yinyu City...

I climbed up the tree with the Infernape and stood on the highest branch. I kept shaking my phone, trying to lift it to a higher position.

"It's just a little water, and the signal can't be restored?"

During a battle with a Pokémon hunter, Bigleaf was accidentally splashed by a Water Gun from a Water-type Pokémon.

"Ku"

Infernape, supporting itself on the feet of the large leaf perched on its shoulder, let out a muffled cry.

You should have gone with A-Du and the others back then.
pat-

Big Leaf climbed down from Infernape's shoulder, calmly stood on a branch, and confidently said:
"It's okay, Teacher Jinghe and Big Sister will definitely come to pick us up."

They both came when we were in deep danger last time, so this time it's just getting lost. No problem.

"Ku?"

Infernape scratches its head.

really?
But you can't contact them this time, so how do they know where we are?

Da Ye clenched his fist and pounded his chest.

"Based on this!"

A heart that is equally ambitious and eager to fight!
It was cold at noon.

Jinghe's "laziness" kicked in, and she lay half-reclined on the sofa reading a book.

If the little creature that hatches from the Pokémon egg is indeed a Ground-type Pokémon, then Giovanni's "The Secrets of the Earth" can play a significant role.

To be honest, he had read "The Secrets of the Earth" more than once or twice, but each time he read it, he felt that he could gain something completely different.

It can only be said that Giovanni is indeed one of the best in the entire Pokémon world when it comes to training Ground-type Pokémon.

No wonder that after Qinglu obtained this profound secret in the "Special Episode", he was able to build a brand new main force team in just one year.

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox lay on Jing He's chest, leaning against him, reading together.

Jinghe acknowledges her Pokémon's literacy ability, but... you've only mastered the Dig move, is there really a need to take it so seriously?

"Ow~"

Time to turn the page~
Jing He chuckled to himself, deciding to tease the little guy by pretending not to hear.

"Ouch~!"

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox puffed out its cheeks and nudged Jing He's arm twice with its paw pads.

When the little guy realized that Jinghe still hadn't made a move, he understood that this was intentional.

"Ow~"

Ice Nine-Tailed was furious and leaped into the air!
He stepped on Jinghe's chest and started rummaging around on it.

"Hmm~"

Jing He gave a low hum.

Upon hearing the commotion, the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly paused, cautiously glancing at Jing He, its azure eyes blinking twice.

Did I step on it too hard?

It was clearly holding back its strength.
But Jinghe laughed and said, "Are you digging me up like dirt?"

"Ouch~!"

Ice Nine-Tail rolled its eyes in annoyance, realizing it had been tricked by Jing He again.

Jinghe laughed and hugged it tightly, then stroked it vigorously until the Ice Nine-Tail's fur was all ruffled before finally letting it go with satisfaction.

Although the little guy has become much heavier after evolving, it's still incredibly cute.

"There's a phone call, Loto!"

At that moment, Rotom floated over carrying Jinghe's phone.

The caller ID on his phone was his student.
"Yasha?" Jing He was slightly taken aback. "Shouldn't she still be celebrating the New Year in Fuyan Town?"

He pressed the answer button and said:
"it's me."

Yasha and Jinghe were quite familiar with each other, so she went straight to the point:

"Teacher, I feel like something's not right about Chimney Mountain. Would you like to come over?"

Chimney Hill, something's not right?
Jinghe sat up with a start.

"Asha, this is no joke."

"Eh?"

Jinghe wasn't sure if Groudon in this world was dozing off.

But there are only two places.

One is an underwater cave, and the other is Chimney Mountain.

Although it's probably in an underwater cave, Old Gu was a Ground-type before it reverted to Primal form. Underwater caves are all water-based places, and it sounds more like Kyogre's territory, so there's no guarantee that it's really sleeping inside.

What if Groudon in this world prefers Chimney Mountain?
"Teacher, it's me, Daigo."

At that moment, Daigo took Asa's phone.

Ok?
Is Daigo also at Chimney Mountain?
I haven't seen him in Inoville City before. Did he go to Chimney Mountain to dig for stones?
“I have a feeling it’s something like what happened to us last time,” Daigo said.

What happened last time?

Jing He asked, "A fire-breathing camel?"

They encountered a ferocious fire-breathing camel on Chimney Mountain, and it took some effort to subdue and calm it down.

"Yeah, pretty much."

Rampaging Pokémon once appeared in large numbers in Hoenn, keeping Jinghe busy for quite some time.

He's been rarely seen lately, and he hasn't been to the Kanaz police station in a long time. Why is he out again now?

"I see."

Jinghe glanced at the glass covered in water droplets and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Groudon isn't involved, everything is fine.

Besides, Daigo is still here, isn't he?

Moreover, the current Gym Leader of LavaCity is still Aya's grandfather, the previous Elite Four!
Although he has stepped down, his combat strength should still be there.

"I'll get ready. I should be able to arrive before dinner."

As he spoke, he got up to pack his things.

It's a pity Cynthia just left this morning, otherwise the hot springs in LavaCover Town would be quite nice, with mixed-gender bathing.
"Teacher, the plane has arrived at your building."
