Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 406 The Lily of the Valley Tournament Opens! (Seeking monthly votes!)
On January 18, the venue for the Lily of the Valley Convention was packed with people.

Today is the opening ceremony of the Lily of the Valley Convention!
Brilliant fireworks burst above the huge venue, while various hot air balloons, such as giant flying fish and whale roarers, floated in the air, broadcasting the opening ceremony live.

Amidst the roaring crowd, the host walked onto the platform and announced the lighting ceremony of the sacred flame.

"Gurgle~"

While holding onto Young Gilas to prevent it from running around, Charcoal Servant showed curiosity about the flame inside the silver torch.

After all, this was its first time participating in a regional alliance conference, and it was a grand occasion.

"Genga~"

Gengar calmly patted its shoulder, indicating that it was just Moltres's flames, not even as powerful as the feathers on its head.

"Guka"

Tan Xiaoshi suddenly realized.

No wonder it felt somewhat familiar.
"Speaking of which, is it really impossible for the League to get Ho-Oh's flame? They always end up using Moltres's flame instead," Jinghe couldn't help but complain.

The host went on stage, holding the microphone and shouting, "Next, let's welcome President Dama Lanqi to give a speech!!"

The old man didn't waste any time with words; he simply expressed his support for the Lily of the Valley Convention.

That makes sense. Every year, various regions hold conferences, and if Dama Lanqi gives a long speech every time, he would probably be quite disliked.

“I don’t see any connection between this and Dakdo.” Jing He shook his head.

"Darkdo?" Cynthia asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No, he's just a card player."

"King Kikuno is on stage!" Da Ye exclaimed excitedly.

It's not like we haven't seen it before.
The cheers grew louder and louder. Compared to Chairman Dama Lanqi, the title of one of the Four Heavenly Kings clearly carried more weight in the eyes of the audience.

"Jinghe, I've finally found you."

Just then, a familiar voice came from inside.

Follow the sound.

"Professor Oak, and Professor Oak himself?"

Soon they saw two elderly men who looked almost identical, except for their hairstyles and skin tones.

Oh, and Professor Oak is wearing his signature white lab coat, while Professor Oak is wearing Alola beachwear and flip-flops.
Is it really not cold on Lily of the Valley? This thought subconsciously popped into Jinghe's mind.

"Alola, Jinghe-sensei, Vulpix!"

Cheng Ye Da Mu greeted Jing He with a smile, and then his hair transformed into the shape of a six-tailed dragon.

Jing He: "."

Cynthia: "."

Da Ye: "Wow, that's amazing!"

He truly lives up to his reputation as "the man with a thousand Pokémon faces".

A considerable number of people from the Alola region actually attended this Lily of the Valley Conference.

As a region where the League was established relatively late, Sinnoh is only comparable to regions like Kanto and Johto. In fact, the League system in Sinnoh is already quite complete.

In the Alola region, however, a true league is still in its infancy.

Attending such a conference can help more people learn about the Alora region and boost its economy.

On the other hand, it is also about learning from the alliances in Sinnoh and other regions, learning how to establish a more comprehensive system.

Of course, Cheng Ye Da Mu found Jing He mainly for...
"Haha, our Alola Pokémon Academy would love to welcome Teacher Jinghe, Gengar!"

Cheng Ye Da Mu expressed his meaning in a simple exchange.

It's not that we want Jinghe to "jump ship" to the Alola Pokémon Academy, we just hope he can go to the Alola region for exchanges.

After all, whether it was Dr. Kukui or students like Shui Lian and Mao, they all liked Jing He very much.

"If I have the chance, I definitely will," Jing He said earnestly, without making any excuses.

Who doesn't love sunshine, beaches, beautiful women, and bikinis?
If we add Cynthia in the middle...
cough.

"By the way, Jinghe, give me your Pokédex first. I'll upgrade it for you in the next couple of days," Professor Oak said.

"Rotom."

"Understood, Loto!"

Rotom immediately flew out of the Pokédex, which landed in Professor Oak's hands.

at the same time.

After Kikuno Tenno finished speaking, the host announced loudly.

"The Lily of the Valley Festival officially begins!"

In an instant, countless dazzling fireworks rose into the sky, the enthusiastic contestants shouted out, and the cheers of the audience reached a climax.

What kind of dramatic stories will this year's Suzuran Conference, belonging to the Sinnoh League, bring?
The preliminary rounds began immediately after the opening ceremony.

The contestants in the preliminary rounds will compete fiercely for a day to become one of the top 64 in the tournament, and then officially enter the knockout stage.

As a specially invited contestant, Jinghe didn't need to participate in any preliminary rounds, so after the opening ceremony, he went shopping with Xilona and Daye.

Afterwards, having missed the opening ceremony, Wusong and Aliu, who arrived late, also reached Lily of the Valley Island.

Five people were sitting in a coffee shop.

"Yo-yo~"

Young Cyrus was full of curiosity about everything.

For this little foodie, Xiao Hanhan, the way to understand curiosity is...
Ouch!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

Big Leaf, who was holding a cake and trying to tease Young Gilas, cried out in pain.

Looking at the young Gilas hanging on his hand with only half of his arm left, Da Ye felt so much pain that he was about to faint.

Fortunately, Tan Xiaoshi quickly broke it open.

"Genga~"

Gengar watched this scene, seemingly lost in thought.

Could it be that the development direction for the little dinosaur is to induce sleep from pain?
"So what hatched from the elf egg was Larvitar."

Wusong seemed to be deep in thought. "It is said that one must eat a mountain to evolve."

Jinghe smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"Wusong, this information is incomplete. Please complete it." He then returned the information file that Wusong had just collected about Pokémon Hunter J and his gang.

Wu Song: "???"

"just kidding."

This information is actually quite good; much of it is publicly available information, indicating that Wusong clearly has his own channels.

"Have you noticed that Hunter J's gang has been appearing in Baidai City more frequently?" Jing He said seemingly casually as she glanced through the documents.

Wusong adjusted his glasses. "Indeed. I noticed that too. But, is this related to the Hundred Generations Forest?"

As one of the largest wild Pokémon habitats in the Sinnoh region, it's normal for Pokémon hunter groups like Hunter J to appear frequently in Eternal Forest, right?

According to Wusong's thinking, there must be no problem.

But for Jinghe, as a "prophet," guiding things in the direction he has identified is actually quite simple.

"Then why didn't they go through Flower Garden Town?"

Hana-en Town is just a small town, located south of the Hundred-Generation Forest, and it doesn't attract much less attention than Hundred-Generation City.

Wu Song pondered for a moment and understood Jing He's meaning.

"I understand, I'll keep an eye on the situation in Baidai City."

"Also, could you please help me gather information on the participants for this Lily of the Valley Tournament?" Jing He added.

"Ok."

After subconsciously agreeing, Wusong paused for a moment.

and many more.

Have I unknowingly thrown myself into another job?

He opened his mouth, glanced at the smiling Jing He, and then at Cynthia sitting beside him, teasing Young Giras.
Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

Then I looked at Da Ye, who was blowing air into his arm, and A Liu, who was still in a daze.

I can't use it, I can't use it.

No.

So, even though we're all part of a group, a team, in the end, I'm the only one who actually gets things done?
What happened to the family we were supposed to be?
You're herding livestock while I'm exhausted?
"Huh? Does Teacher Jinghe need to know the contestants' information?" A-Liu's ahoge suddenly stood up, and she suddenly spoke up.

"Yo-yo."

Young Gilas looked at A-Liu's bristling hair, then touched the blunt angle on his own head.

Hey! Is he imitating me?
“That’s right, with your strength, Teacher Jinghe, you could just push through all the way.” Da Ye chimed in.

Last time at the Quartz Conference, it was pretty much a smooth ride. This time at the Lily of the Valley Conference, although the time interval isn't too long, I reckon Teacher Jinghe's strength has improved quite a bit. Shouldn't it be no problem for him to push through?
In fact.

Jing He said irritably, "I'm not the Pill Emperor."

"The Pill Emperor?" The group was taken aback.

Leon's strategy is simply to switch all tactics to Gigantamax Charizard and then push through?

Actually, it's not just Leon; Cynthia is similar.

Even if she becomes the champion in the future, when facing the Elite Four, Cynthia will mostly just use a Garchomp to easily defeat them.

In fact, most of the strong champions in the future will be good at "flat pushes".

Whether it's Cynthia, Steven, or Leon, they all have the ability to easily defeat the Elite Four.

Except for Adu, who is in a dire and fiery environment.

As for Alder, who has lost his strongest Pokémon, and Diantha, who is passionate about her acting career, their strength may be slightly lacking.

The Alora region, being a "rural area," is not included in the statistics for the time being.

“However, I heard that due to Teacher Jinghe’s influence, quite a few strong people are participating in this year’s Lily of the Valley Tournament,” Wusong said.

"Not weak?" Da Ye's eyes lit up slightly.

"Guzma from the Alola region is known as the 'Emperor of Destruction'."

"That white-haired guy playing with bugs?!" Da Ye's eyes widened, knowing that Wu Song was referring to the person they had encountered a couple of days ago.

"Huh?" Ah Liu blinked.

What does it mean to play with insects?
"The Destructive Emperor, what an arrogant nickname."

Da Ye was in a hurry.

Why is everyone else just a nobody, while that guy has such a big reputation?

Should I also choose a prestigious name for myself in the future?
"I heard that they oppose the Alola League holding a League Conference with Alola characteristics and want to use this conference to win and make their stance clear."

This matter seems to have even been featured on the league's official website.

Guzma and Kukui are bitter rivals. Both are disciples of Hala, the island king, but their ideologies clash. Guzma opposes Kukui's establishment of the Alola League and the tradition of island pilgrimage in the Alola region.

Later, in Ash's generation, he participated in the Alola League Conference, attempting to stop the tournament from continuing by reaching the top.

I didn't expect them to cause trouble at the Lily of the Valley Convention first.

"There's also Darkrod from the Pokémon Trading Company, who's said to be quite strong as well."

"Wait a minute," Jing He interrupted.

"Dakto is participating too?"

"Does Teacher Jinghe also know Dakdo?" Wusong asked, somewhat surprised.

After all, this "Pokémon Card Company" isn't exactly well-known.

"I've heard some of it."

Jinghe rubbed her temples a couple of times.

Why is Dakdo participating now?
For what?
Promoting Pokémon trading cards?
To be honest, Jinghe was quite curious about what other Pokémon Darkrai and Latios Darkrai had.
This year's Lily of the Valley Convention is really something else.

A gang leader (the leader of the Bad Boys Legion) arrived, along with a genuine mythical beast man.

Who knows, in a couple of days some kind of "monster" I've never heard of before might pop up, bringing along something like Heatran or Latias.

We just want to make some quick money peacefully, why is it so difficult?

Cynthia, holding Ninetales, smiled at Jing He and said with approval:
"come on."

Jinghe took a deep breath.

Anything that gets in the way of feeding our little ones, cut it all down!
"Yes!" He nodded gently.

The new book by the great author Hong Yinye, "The Grass-Type King of Pokémon"!
