Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 394 It's not unreasonable for me to fill out an expense report, is it? (Seeking monthly votes!)
Jinghe gestured for Daigo to go after them and check on them, then she immediately treated the injuries of Xiong's apprentice and Tan Xiaoshi.

Although they withstood the attack from Sidson and even launched what appeared to be a decent and effective counterattack, they were still seriously injured.

The two little guys have suddenly become so competitive, which must have been influenced by Dragonite and Gengar.

After all, even though they are very good friends, no one wants to always hold them back.

Especially after Dragonair evolves into Dragonite, its strength increases significantly.

So the two little guys get envious at the sight of even a little "experience," let alone something as big as Sidson.

but
Jinghe sensed that Tan Xiaoshi's evolution was not of its own making, but that Xiong Zhidao was probably not far from its own evolution.

"Perhaps... we could organize some friendly matches within the team?"

It's not about determining who's better or worse, or ranking them; it's just a feeling.
Aren't those all huge experience packs?

Fertilizer does not flow into outsiders' fields.

"you."

Jing He patted Tan Xiaoshi's head with one hand and lifted Xiong's apprentice by the back of the neck with the other, took a deep breath, and laughed:
"not bad!"

"Gurgle!"

Tan Xiaoshi looked serious.

I wonder if I'll be able to gain some favor this time?
“Ku~zzZ”

The bear apprentice kicked his legs and waved his fists in the air, as if to say something.
How can you lift me up like this, Coach Xiong? Don't I have any dignity?
Can I bring it home later?
Seeing that they were in fairly good condition, Jinghe felt relieved.

They summoned Ninetales and Dragonite, and chased after Steven and the others.

Before long, they arrived at a space where Gastly had accidentally wandered in before.

The magma inside had subsided, and Sidonia had returned to calm. Seeing Jinghe approaching, it remembered something.

It seems like I was fed energy cubes before?

Its gaze then fell on Charcoal Servant and Bear Apprentice.

Nod slightly.

"Roar--"

These are two guys who deserve recognition.

However, its strength is still somewhat lacking, not as good as it.
suddenly.

Sidson felt a chill run down his spine.

"Genga~"

Gengar appeared behind it without its knowledge and very "friendly" put its arm around its shoulder.

Turning my head, I saw Gengar's sinister, "kind" face grinning.

Long time no see!
hum-

Jinghe opened the Poké Ball at his waist, and the Greatsmith, who had been holding back for so long, finally appeared.

Boom! !

The heavy hammer fell casually to the ground, creating a dent and causing the cave to shake and rocks to slide down.

The master blacksmith's eyes lit up.

"Cha~!"

So you're the only Steel-type Pokémon?
bang——

Dragonite landed on Heatran's other side, its chubby hand resting on Heatran's other shoulder and giving it a "gentle" pat.

bang bang-

Sidora staggered a few steps and almost lost her balance.

"Woo~?"

I was almost scared just now. Turns out it was one of our own?
call--

A chill swept in, and frost appeared in the now-calmed lava cave. Then, layers of ice crystals rose from where Sidran stood, gradually threatening to cover him.

Ice Nine-Tail landed lightly and turned to look at Jing He.

"Ouch?"

Has this guy really calmed down? I feel more at ease if he's frozen.
A bead of cold sweat slid down Sidson's forehead.

Why didn't it sense that these guys were a bit dangerous just now?
If Jinghe knew what it was thinking, it would probably patiently explain it to it.

First, berserk mode does indeed provide a power boost and a certain percentage of pain immunity.

Secondly, Heatran, as a Pokémon that lives deep in the crater of a volcano, has its strength linked to the activity level of the volcano to a certain extent, such as explosive power and home advantage.

Furthermore, Jinghe and his group not only had to consider their own safety, but also worried about whether Xiduolanen would "flip the table" and blow up Chimney Mountain.

Finally, it is the most important point.

In that short time of exchanging greetings...

Gengar looked at Volcano Rock eight times, Ninetales three times, Dragonite five times, Ursaring five times, Charizard eleven times, and Greatsmith thirty-nine times!

Forty times, forty-one times, forty-two times
别酱
"Roar--"

Sidson forced out what he thought was a friendly smile.

Who would have thought that even after so much time has passed, Gengar still remembers the location of the Volcanic Rock so well, and quickly led Aysa to find it.

Upon seeing Jinghe arrive, Daigo and Aya both breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Waveguides reside in the heart!
Seeing that Sidolann seemed to have become communicative, Jing He immediately used the power of waveguide once again.

This time, feedback was received very quickly from Sidson.

Ok?
really.

Just as Jinghe guessed, the excessive activity of the magma inside the volcano was man-made.

After the magma became active, it overturned the volcanic rock, causing Seadrane to become enraged.

The active magma also endowed Heatran with even more ferocious explosive power.

So, who made the magma on Chimney Mountain active?
And what is their purpose? The question of who it is essentially boils down to only three options.

First, Team Magma; second, Team Aqua; third, Pokémon Hunters.

Let's leave aside the issue of Team Lava and Team Ocean for now.

If they were Pokémon hunters, they would likely want to create chaos, take advantage of the confusion, or slip away.
However, Jinghe feels that it is most likely to be either the Lava Team or the Ocean Team.

"Are they finally starting to lose their patience, or are they searching for the crimson jewel?"

At this moment, in an office at a secret base some distance away outside Chimney Mountain.

"Boss, the signs of activity at Chimney Mountain have subsided. It seems that someone discovered it and intervened to stop it."

A young man dressed in a fiery red robe sat with his legs crossed at the table, looking at the data displayed on the computer screen and speaking merrily.

The other man, referred to as "the boss," a middle-aged man wearing glasses, crossed his arms in the classic commander's gesture, seemingly unsurprised by the outcome, and simply said in a deep voice:

"Such a small piece of meteorite, after being activated by a special device, can bring about such a significant change."

If Jinghe were here, he could tell from their clothing and the symbols on it that this group of people were the Lava Team!
The one at the head is none other than the leader of the Lava Team—Crimson Pine!

Sitting below is the Hokage, one of the "Three-Headed Fire" of Team Magma.

Hearing what Chiyansong said, the Hokage couldn't help but curl his lips, "It's a pity that those guys from Da Zijin were only willing to take out such a small piece of meteorite."

Chi Yansong subtly adjusted his glasses.

"The fact that they are willing to give up one piece means that they still have at least one piece, or even more."

The Hokage grinned, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"Boss, do you want some?"

Red Flame Pine glanced at him calmly, and the Hokage immediately put away his playful expression.

"The time is not right yet."

"Yes!"

The matter has come to an end.

"Meteorite?"

Daigo was somewhat surprised, seemingly not understanding why Professor Jinghe suddenly asked him to pay more attention to meteorites appearing in the stone and fossil market.

“Sidorlan said it saw a very small meteorite fall into the magma, and then the magma became very turbulent,” Jing He said without hesitation.

Sidora blinked.

Did I say that?

Noticing Jing He's friendly gaze, Xiduolan nodded repeatedly.

I said it!
Jing He smiled slightly, and Gengar understood. It reluctantly took out a box of Energy Cubes and patted Heatran on the back again.

"Genga~"

From now on, we're friends.

Sidora swallowed hard as he looked at the energy cube.

Looked around.

friend?
It's better than being enemies!

Picking up the energy cube, it flashed back into the volcanic stone.

Jinghe ignored it, mainly because he remembered it.

In the original story, Team Lava did indeed attempt to use a device to activate the meteorite's energy, thereby stimulating Chimney Mountain and expanding the landmass in the process.
Although Jinghe thought this behavior was quite stupid.

But sometimes, don't try to argue with an idiot about whether they're stupid or not; it might seem like a great thing to them.

As for meteorites, Daigo clearly knows far more than he does.

“I understand, I will keep an eye on it,” Daigo said earnestly.

The Hoenn region is far more turbulent than they perceive.
It seems like we should prepare some resources in case of emergency.

LavaCover Town, Pokémon Center.

"Teacher Jinghe, your Pokémon have recovered and are all in good condition." Nurse Joy smiled as she handed the Poké Balls back to Jinghe and the other two.

"Thank you, you've worked hard," Jing He said with a smile.

"Of course," Miss Joey said, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Jinghe glanced at the Poké Ball.

The bear apprentice had already fallen asleep, probably because he was tired. This time, he didn't exercise after falling asleep.

And Tan Xiaoshi
During the previous battle, Jinghe had sensed the changes in Tan Xiaoshi through the power of the Aura.

Based on the "principle" that charcoal burns brighter the longer it burns, the "life fire" contained within Charcoal Servant's body seemed to have been stimulated by Heatran's lava storm, and appeared to have become even brighter.
The price was that the "charcoal" that Charcoal Servant hadn't finished eating was almost completely consumed by Heatran's fire.

We need to replenish the charcoal again.
and many more.

Shouldn't this be considered a work-related injury?

It's not unreasonable for me to fill out a reimbursement form, is it?
Should this expense report be sent to the investigation department or the Interpol Police Department?
Forget it.

We'll send one to each person then!
He doesn't mind if he is reimbursed by either party; he doesn't mind if both parties reimburse him.

"Let's go soak in the hot springs," Jinghe said, in a great mood.

Since we've come all this way to Kamajo, we should definitely soak in the hot springs.

The last time I soaked in a hot spring was in Sinnoh.

At that time, that person looked like a drowned rat.
Ok?
Just as Jinghe stepped out of the Pokémon Center, she suddenly remembered something she had forgotten.

What about Da Ye?
"What's wrong, teacher?" Daigo and Aya, who had followed them out, also stopped in their tracks.

"Cough, no."

As the future King of Fire, there's no reason why he can't go home, right?

I'll call and ask after I'm done soaking in the hot springs.
