Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 402 The Pokémon Egg: I'll Burst Open! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
August 1, early morning.

Jinghe woke up from her dream with a lingering sense of unease.

Last night I dreamt that Cynthia was wearing a school uniform and sweetly called me "Teacher Jinghe". Who could resist that?

"It seems the 'Crescent Feather' does have some effect; I even feel like I'm sleeping better now."

wow-

Gengar drew back the curtains, opened the window, and took a deep breath.

Unlike Jinghe, Gengar barely slept a wink last night. The newly acquired large white gem fragment made it very excited and energetic.

It even showed off by spitting out the large white gold and jade fragments with its tongue, making "li gu li gu" sounds.

"Stop playing around, let's take Dragonite for a couple of spins first."

"Genga!" Gengar obeyed.

"Cha~!"

Take me with you!

The master blacksmith jumped out of bed with a start, grabbed his hammer, and chased after him.

The bear apprentice was still practicing his boxing in the corner. Now that he was wearing brass knuckles, his fists were so sharp that a mere graze could cause injury, and a single touch could be fatal.

Hmm, it's a pickled vegetable, hmm, a real talent!

After breakfast.

Da Ye went to the training ground in the athletes' village to practice with someone.

Since the tournament hasn't started yet, the training ground is packed with people. You can easily call out and summon a group of opponents. It's safe to say that this is the part that Da Ye loves the most.

At Xilona's invitation, Jinghe went out to sea with her by boat to Dandelion Island.

Since the Lily of the Valley Convention hasn't started yet, it's good to go out for a stroll.

"Woo~"

"roar~"

Dragonite and Garchomp flew on either side of the ship, leaving two shimmering ripples on the sea as they sped past.

"Rotom, slow down!"

Jing He's face turned slightly pale as she patted the control panel.

He felt that the speedboat was no different from flying in the sky.

"Do you want to race against Dragonite and Garchomp?"

"I understand, I understand, Loto."

Rotom's voice came from the speedboat's control panel, and the speed gradually slowed down. Jing He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

really.

Compared to flying, speedboats, and racing, he still prefers bicycles.

"I wonder when we'll be able to enjoy the freedom of cycling on the sea," Jinghe sighed softly.

"Well?"

Cynthia, who was petting Ninetales in one hand and Glaceon in the other, cast a questioning glance at her.

"It's nothing, I just thought of a lazy person."

"Oh," Cynthia replied obediently without pressing further.

Not long after, because Rotom hadn't stopped speeding at first, they arrived at Dandelion Island much earlier than expected.

The island is lush and green, with most of it covered in verdant vegetation.

In the center of the island, there are also many huge, ancient trees with a long history.

This island is not well known to many people, so it is sparsely populated and has a rather pristine natural environment.

Correspondingly, there are also many wild Pokémon on the island.

However, these wild Pokémon are of little use to Jinghe and Cynthia.
It's similar to a spring outing, or rather, a winter outing.

Of course, there are some troubles as well, for example...
"哓GA!"

Gengar opened its mouth wide and swallowed a lightning ball that was about to explode.
boom! !

Gengar suddenly swelled up, then with a grin, it opened its mouth and spat out the Thunderball whose eye had turned into a mosquito coil.

"Genga~~"

Gengar bares its teeth.

It's so numb~~
Are you treating a lightning bolt like a peppercorn?

"Speaking of which, I can understand having self-exploding hazelnut balls on wild islands, but so many lightning balls... this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it," Jing He couldn't help but complain.

Cynthia smiled gently and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Perhaps, this island was inhabited a long time ago."

"Right."

Otherwise, how could relics have been left behind?
"300% battery, Loto!"

With a barrage of lightning bolts, Rotom managed to charge his battery even more.

Equipped with a "power amplifier," its energy storage capacity has long exceeded the normal limit of the Pokédex.

At that moment, it was shining brightly, as if it were illuminated by holy light.

Exhausted, the lightning balls, upon witnessing this scene, were so ashamed that they all self-destructed.

For a while.

Boom boom boom——

The sound of explosions echoed continuously across the island.

"The Pokémon on this island seem so keen on self-destructing."

The hazelnut balls in the woods looked like this before, and the lightning balls here look like this now.

"Gurgle~"

Tan Xiaoshi called out to Jing He.

The Pokémon egg it was holding was shaking with each explosion, appearing quite excited.

This was the first time the little guy had shaken so noticeably.

"Is it about to hatch?" Cynthia asked, somewhat surprised.

Jinghe's expression was strange.

You wouldn't be making a "bursting egg" because you don't want to make a soft-boiled egg, would you?

When the explosion of the Electro Balls ended, the Pokémon Egg also stopped shaking.

But both Jinghe and Tanxiaoshi could sense that the little guy's hatching might not be far off.

Even Tan Xiaoshi could clearly feel that the little guy inside the egg seemed to be gently scratching at the eggshell with something hard.

Seeing that the fairy egg hadn't burst open, Jinghe breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Kuailong, move back a little and let Coach Xiong lead the way," Jinghe quickly reminded him again.

Dragonite is practically becoming a minesweeper tool.

"Woo~" Kuailongda lowered his head and nodded.

The two continued to move closer to the center of the island.

It's quite noticeable that the closer you get to the center of Dandelion Island, the stronger the wild Pokémon become.

This delighted the bear apprentice, as if the words "Experience +1" kept popping up on its body.

Walk through the woods.

The two arrived at a rocky area.

"This is."

Cynthia discovered a broken stone tablet embedded in a rock.

Dusting away the dust revealed the incomplete inscription. The ancient script was clearly beyond Jing He's comprehension, but Shirona quickly deciphered it.

"Great heroes, gods and men, ten kings."

The translator, Hirona, felt nothing, but Jinghe, upon hearing these words, suddenly had a thought.

The legend of the Great Hero, the People of the Divine Harmony, and the Ten Kings sounds so much like a story from the Xi Cui Era.

This dandelion island was once inhabited by the people of Shenhe.
"It's badly damaged."

Cynthia pursed her lips and had Garchomp carefully dig out the stone tablet, then pack it up to take back to God and Town.

"Ku!!"

The apprentice punched a rumbling stone away and shouted towards Jing He and the others.

It is the entrance to a cave.

"Rotom, Flash."

"Understood, Loto!"

hum-

The soft electric light illuminated the dark cave, where many Rock-type Pokémon lived in its intricate network.

However, these Rock-type Pokémon obviously couldn't pose much of a hindrance to Jinghe and his friends.

With the bear apprentice and Lucario leading the way, accompanied by the sounds of rocks cracking and occasional booming, they passed through the cave and entered a basin area located in the center of the mountain.

What appeared before the two of them was an ancient ruin that resembled a pyramid.

"There really is a ruin."

Jinghe suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen a story about the Dandelion Island ruins in an animation.

However, what is shown in the animation differs considerably from what they actually experienced and saw.

The cliffs above the basin are covered with a large amount of lush vegetation, and the ruins themselves are also covered with a lot of moss and small plants, so even if someone flies low over the island, it is difficult to find the existence of the ruins.

Upon seeing the ruins, Cynthia did not immediately approach them.

Years of archaeological experience have taught her that most archaeological sites are not very safe.

Moreover, she also discovered...
“Jinghe, don’t you feel that this ruin looks a lot like the ‘Random Ruins’ in Random Town? It’s just a few times smaller,” said Cynthia.

Upon hearing this, Jing He's heart stirred.

The random ruins of Shinwa Town, the Snow Peak Temple in Snow Peak City, and even the Sinnoh Temple atop Mount Sumeru, were all built by the ancient Sinnoh people who worshipped Arceus.

The present-day Shenhe Town is actually the Shenhe Town of the Xicui period, and the people of Shenhe are also descendants of the ancient Shen'ao people.

However, the ancient town of Shenhe later disappeared, and its inhabitants scattered.

Perhaps some of the people of Shenhe came to live on this remote island and built this ruin, which resembles a random relic.

So, could Cynthia's major research topic this time be the Era of Greenery?

Or perhaps they were ancient Shin'o people?
rustling-

Just as the two were observing the ruins, the leaves in the forest above the basin suddenly began to rustle.

"哓GA!"

"Luk-ka!"

Gengar and Lucario immediately noticed the anomaly and both looked in the same direction.

"Hey!!"

A hoarse, low howl came from the forest.

Immediately after
Rumbling--

One after another, rumbling rocks suddenly rolled down from above the basin.

The bundled-up shape resembled rolling stones falling during an ancient siege.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the two people changed slightly.

In the wild, it's rare to encounter so many Golems, since the conditions for Golem to evolve into Golem are quite demanding.

Moreover, the sheer number of rumblestones rolling in rows posed a considerable threat to them.

"Garuda, Lucario!" Cynthia's expression turned slightly solemn, her eyes sharp.

"Roar!!"

"Lukaka!!"

The Garchomp and Lucario, understanding the implication, immediately charged forward.

Having spent years exploring ruins with Cynthia, they remained calm in the face of this unexpected situation.

"Great Blacksmith, Dragonite!"

Jinghe's reaction was no slower than Cynthia's. The Great Blacksmith followed closely behind Lucario with his hammer, while Dragonite flapped its wings and charged forward with Garchomp.

"Disciple Xiong, please provide guidance!"

"Ku!"

With a stern face, Xiong's apprentice directly gave both teams an overall buff.

No idea.

Before the Garchomp that charged forward could even make contact with the first Graveler that rolled down, another low roar came from the forest in the basin.

"Hey!!"

next second.

boom! !

The rumbler rolling at the very front suddenly unleashed a massive explosion without hesitation!
The enormous roar reverberated throughout the basin, and the fierce aftershocks caused rocks to tumble down the surrounding cliffs, making the entire ground tremble.

Good heavens. That's like a self-destructing Rolling Stone.

If it were just one Golem, that would be fine, but the problem is there are so many of them!
Moreover, these guys don't even fight; they just come up and self-destruct at full health.

"Gurgle!"

At that moment, Tan Xiaoshi suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Click!
A crisp sound came from Tan Xiaoshi's arms.

A bead of cold sweat quietly slid down Jing He's forehead.

In this situation, would you hatch it?

It's hard for Jinghe not to doubt the little guy's future docility.
Elf Egg: Exploding is so much fun, should I explode one for everyone?
