Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 40 is 'highly poisonous'!

"puff--"

At the Fuma Dojo, Genji, who was reading a report, spat out the hot milk with sugar in his mouth, splashing it all over Mura's face across from him.

Mura stared wide-eyed, his face full of astonishment, and then veins popped out on his forehead.

"Hahahaha—this kid."

But Genji on the other side seemed not to see it, and instead laughed.

Mura glanced at what Yuanzhi was holding and couldn't help but ask, "A reimbursement application form? Are you in charge of finances now?"

"No, it's Bonnie who's in charge."

Upon hearing this, Mura breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he stepped down as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, part of his job was to manage finances, because he was a rather meticulous and serious person. At that time, Genji often argued with him about reimbursement issues.

If Genji were in charge of the Hoenn League's finances, Mura would only feel that the future of the Hoenn League was bleak.

"The president won't let me touch these at all." Genji put down the form and took another sip of hot milk with sugar.

Mura gave him a deep look.

"The president is right."

Who doesn't know Genji's nickname among the league's top brass—the King of Reimbursements!

"What do you know?" Genji asked, glancing sideways.

"Aren't our investigators working hard? You have no idea what our investigators 'witness' every day."

"Take this fire-breathing camel for example. It inexplicably became like this. Isn't it pitiful? If we don't apply for more subsidies, it's uncertain whether the fire-breathing camel will be able to continue living after returning to the wild."

Mura remained silent.

Of course he knew. How could he not know the character of Genji, with whom he had worked for decades?

Moreover, being an Alliance Investigator is indeed one of the most arduous professions. Not only are they extremely busy every day, but they also encounter things that ordinary people never come into contact with.

So when he was in charge of the alliance's finances, although Genji's "reimbursement forms" were always very exaggerated, he never actually withheld any of the reimbursed money and materials.

"Let's print 50 copies of this 'reimbursement form' first."

Genji handed the list to a subordinate dressed in a sailor uniform next to him.

"From now on, fill it out according to this specification."

"Yes, King Genji!"

The autumn outing that Jinghe had been somewhat worried about has finally come to an end.

Although the fire-breathing camel incident occurred, fortunately, the impact was not significant. On the contrary, because of this incident, he got a "part-time job" and another way to make money.

After handing over the final sign-in sheets, Jinghe and several other teachers watched them leave one by one.

Some rode on their Duduris, making a racket as they ran; some rode on their Ponytails, leaving sparks all the way; and some rode on their One-Horned Rhinoceroses, which didn't seem to be much faster than walking.
Speaking of which, after Gastly evolves into Gengar, it seems that it can also ride Alola's "Greedy Laplacian" and carry Acerola in flight.

Gastly cried out in alarm, seemingly sensing his "malice".

"Kouhee, kouhee!"

What kind of eyesight do you have? How can you be so unscrupulous?
"Uh, no, I just thought of some funny things."

After the students left, Jinghe took Gastly home.

When they got home, they found a large, orange Pokémon sitting on the old flower bed at the bottom of the stairs, its short arms propping up its head, looking utterly bored.

Hypertrophy!

Pooh!
Fast dragon!

It's a pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Kanto region, Dragonite!

If Jinghe's neighborhood weren't so old and remote, the mere appearance of Kuailong would probably have attracted a lot of onlookers.
Dragonite also noticed Jinghe and perked up, rummaging through the backpack slung across his shoulder.

Finally, they found a wrinkled photo, which they managed to smooth out with their chubby paws, and compared it to Jinghe's photo.

"Pop~~"

It's him, no doubt about it.

Kuailong stood up, jogged over to Jinghe, rummaged through his backpack, and pulled out a package.

"Is it for me?" Jinghe couldn't help but ask.

"Pop~~"

Kuailong nodded.

Jing He glanced at the information above and suddenly realized.

It turns out that his expense reimbursement application had been approved.

I didn't expect it to be so fast.

As he took the package, he gave Dragonite a few Power Cubes as a thank you. This completely dispelled Dragonite's resentment after waiting for a while, and it happily popped the Power Cubes into its mouth.

Dragonite: `
He waved to Jing He, flapped his wings, and quickly left.

"As expected of the League and the Dragon-type Elite Four member, even delivering a package uses Dragonite," Jinghe exclaimed, watching the Dragonite rapidly disappear into the distance.

Gastly, however, seemed a little confused.

"口桀"

How can it fly so fast with such a small pair of wings?
"Uh."

This is a difficult question to answer, so Jinghe changed the subject.

"Let's go, let's unpack the packages!"

"Kou Jie!"

Sure enough, Gastly's attention was immediately diverted.

New phone! New phone! New phone!
I ran upstairs excitedly.

Don't be fooled by its small size; it seems to have utilized spatial technology, containing boxes of energy cubes, crates of MooMoo milk, and various berries, herbs, and Poké Balls.
There wasn't enough room on the table, so it was spread all over the floor.

"Giggle—Giggle—"

Gastly was rolling around on the Power Cubes and Moo Moo Milk, while also holding a brand new cell phone.

Gastly: (▽)
Jinghe also turned on her new phone and logged into her alliance account.

I first went to look at the paper.

The popularity of his published paper has gradually declined, but it is still among the top in the journal.

He then briefly browsed through other people's papers.

Let's find out the current trend in the Pokémon research community, and while the hype surrounding his first paper hasn't completely died down, let's strike while the iron is hot and write another one. Maybe in a couple of days the League will actually issue him a researcher's certificate, and then there'll be no need to test for any registered trainer status.

As he watched, he asked, seemingly casually:

"Gastly, you said you like training and fighting, right?"

"Kou Jie?"

Gastly, who was rolling around on the ground, was stunned when it heard this. It looked at Jing He strangely, but found that the phone was blocking its view and it could not see Jing He's eyes.

Actually, Jinghe had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Talk about it.

After capturing Gastly, he began training it.

On the one hand, it is due to pressure from "stalkers".

On the other hand, it was also his subconscious belief at the time that Pokémon should be trained and should be battled.

But after spending so many days with Gastly, he suddenly realized that he hadn't asked Gastly for its opinion at all.
After the Camerupt incident, Jinghe realized that some Pokémon are actually very simple; they just want to enjoy the happiness of being with their family and friends.

Gastly, carrying a bottle of Moo Moo Milk, floated in front of Jing He, its mist transforming into a hand that gently stroked his forehead.

"Kou Jie?"

No fever, but is your period starting?

Jing He's expression darkened.

"Kouheikouhei——"

Gastly laughed and patted Jinghe on the shoulder, tilting his head back at a 45-degree angle.

With my extraordinary talent and exceptional abilities, am I supposed to just stay home and inhale gas every day? Let's think long-term; our goal is—

Jinghe didn't respond, but he understood what Gastly meant.

Let out a breath.

"Alright, then let's stick to the original plan. The training workload will be doubled tomorrow!"

"...Ghost?!"

Gastly looked shocked.

Why does it feel like it's been tricked but still willingly walked into the trap?
Jing He laughed out loud.

"Kou Jie!!"

Seeing him laughing so happily, Gastly was so angry that it clenched its teeth, its body instantly swelled up, and it pounced on Jing He.

boom!
One person and one Pokémon fell to the ground.

"No! Don't lick it! It's 'highly poisonous,' this time it's 'highly poisonous'!"
