Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 432 Ghostly Visits the Pier! (Two Chapters Combined! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)
Sinnoh, Ashford, Gaudi's Garden.

Gaudi's courtyard is located directly behind the Tower of Time and Space, and it was also designed and built by the famous architect Gaudi.

Because the theme is about the harmonious coexistence of nature, humans and Pokémon, many Pokémon live in the garden, making the whole environment very beautiful and the air very fresh.

Just now, Jinghe and the others watched a rather dramatic scene.

Alice rushed to Gaudi's courtyard because Tony had gotten lost there.

Baron Albert seemed to look down on Tony and introduced Alice to Jing He and the others in a high-profile manner as his fiancée.

Alice ruthlessly rejected his proposal, stating that she already had someone she liked, and then silently hugged Tony's arm, revealing who that person was.

This made Tony blush with embarrassment, while Baron Albert froze on the spot.

I just felt like a clown.

He left in a huff.

On the contrary, Jing He and his group got to know Alice and Tony.

Alice and Cynthia began to introduce the history of Poplar Town, Gaudi's Courtyard, and the Tower of Time, which was an irresistible "temptation" for those who study history.

The group began to tour Gaudi's courtyard.

Jinghe then approached the shy Tony to try and learn about the current situation in Baiyang Town.

Before this.

He also summoned all his Pokémon.

Many Pokémon live in Gaudi's courtyard, and many of them have a very good relationship with Iris.

For example, the Leccat and the Little Cat Monster family, the Mariluri, Marilul and the Lulili family, the Swamp King and the Upo family, the Speaker Cricket and the Round Wizard family, the Three Bees family, and so on.

With Gengar, the leader who "rules" all the stray Pokémon in the entire city of Corsair, Jinghe's Pokémon quickly became friends with them.

As she walked across the waterfront promenade, Mary Lou plunged headfirst into the clear water.

"Liru~!"

Seeing this, Dragonite immediately jumped in with a "Dragon Enters the Sea" maneuver, splashing up a large amount of water and startling Marill in the water.

When it saw Dragonite stand up and the pool was almost half empty, it was even more bewildered.

"Yo-yo!"

When Young Gilas saw this, he immediately wanted to jump down as well, but as soon as he jumped up, Jing He grabbed his little feet and held him upside down in mid-air.

"You shouldn't get involved."

Four times the amount of water, want to go swimming?

Let's go home and practice in the little bathtub where we used to train as Mini Dragons first.

"Yo-yo."

Young Kylas drooped its head.

"Lili~~"

At this moment, the even smaller Lulili stood on a circular sculpture and waved to Young Gilas.

The circular, spiral-shaped sculpture was like a spiral slide, and Lulili sat on it and slid down.

"Yo-yo!"

Young Gilas, who had previously looked pitiful, immediately perked up.

"Huffing and puffing," he climbed onto the sculpture, plopped down, and slid off while spinning.

However, since it was Young Gilas's first time playing this game, he couldn't control his speed properly and ended up rolling around on the ground twice before stopping.

But the little guy is thick-skinned and doesn't feel any pain at all. Instead, he finds it very fun. He suddenly gets up, pats his bottom twice, and then runs back to the sculpture.

For a while, they were having a great time.

the other side.

Marill stood in the middle of the seesaw, while Swamp King and the two little Wobbles sat on one end, waiting for their playmates.

"just!"

The master blacksmith immediately expressed his desire to play with it.

"Mari~"

Mariluri, standing in the middle of the seesaw to balance the two sides, said that the Greatsmith is too small and it would be best to find a smaller one to accompany it so that the seesaw can be played.

result.

The master blacksmith leaped and landed on one end of the seesaw.

The next second.
Mariluri's expression: (Д≡Д)
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

Swamp King and the two Wobo launched themselves into the air with a whooshing sound.

"Whoosh? (▽。)"

Swamp King, hovering in mid-air, looked completely bewildered.

It seems to have taken flight?

"Hoo!"

Martial Arts Bear Master clapped his hands, struck a goalkeeper's pose, and caught the falling Swamp King and the two little Upo one by one.

Marilulli let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Waaah!!"

Far from being afraid of this experience, the two little Wobo excitedly shouted:

Once again! Once again!
the other side.

The obsequious Leccat and the large wolfhound circled around the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.

They were all incredibly excited, as if they had met a goddess.

"Woof! Woof!" The big wolfhound barked excitedly, its tongue lolling out.

"Meow~meow~"

Luxcat also faced the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, constantly wagging its star-like tail.

stare!
The two men suddenly realized that the other seemed to be their "formidable rival"!
They became hostile to each other.

"Ow~"

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox was both amused and exasperated. It gently stroked its body with its tail, wrapped a tree fruit around its tail, and offered it between Leccat and the Great Wolfhound.

There was no other way; it wasn't a Gengar, and it didn't have much left. It only had this one thawed Limousine Berry left, just in case Jinghe accidentally got frozen.

But the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox obviously had no idea what the tree fruit it took out meant to Lecter and the Great Wolfhound.

next second.

"Woof!!"

"Meow!!"

The two men immediately started fighting.

As they fought, the battle escalated. The Leccat led the kitten monster, and the Great Wolfhound led the Coyote. The two sides split up on either side, neither giving way to the other.

In response, the Nine-Tailed Fox is considering whether to freeze them all to resolve the conflict.

At this time.

Charcoal Servant walked past Ice Nine-Tailed Fox and pressed his palm down, signaling it to calm down.

This scene is all too familiar to it.

"Gurgle!"

It walked among the Luccat and the Great German Shepherd under their watchful eyes.

Gentlemen, please give me, Tan, some face!
Leccat and the Great Wolfhound were taken aback, exchanged a glance, and then looked at Tan Xiaoshi at the same time.

Who the hell are you?
Before the words were even out of their mouths, the flames in Tan Xiaoshi's eyes turned a deep blue, and an inexplicable chill rose from the depths of Leccat and the Great Wolfhound's hearts.

"Guka"

Please give me, Tan, some face.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of the Luccat and the Great German Shepherd.

I guess I have to give them that face.
Then, they remained motionless, watching as Charcoal Servant divided the tree fruit in two, giving one to Leccat and the other to the Great Wolfhound.

The two Pokémon had no choice but to accept this outcome.

However, before they could even turn around after taking the fruit, they suddenly felt an increasing chill down their spines.

Almost instinctively, they each broke off a quarter and returned it to Tan Xiaoshi.

"Gurgle~"

The dark blue in Tan Xiaoshi's eyes returned to orange, and he waved to them with a smile.

You're too kind, you're too kind~
The Leccat and the Great Wolfhound exchanged a glance and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

It felt like I'd been given a second chance at life.

The two guys, who were originally at odds, immediately became "good brothers" with their arms around each other's shoulders under Tan Xiaoshi's gaze.

Tan Xiaoshi nodded in satisfaction.

Jinghe, who was standing on a wisteria-covered platform in a courtyard, witnessed the whole process, and her expression was slightly strange.

Both the Luccat and the German Shepherd are showing affection for their own nine-tailed cat?
For a moment, he even began to have some doubts about whether foxes belonged to the cat or canine family.

Fortunately, Tanjiro stepped in.

Otherwise, there's a high chance that when the Luccat and the Great German Shepherd arrive, it will be in pieces! (So tough!)
Is it unusual?

Meanwhile, Tony, who was talking to Jing He, looked thoughtful after hearing the question Jing He asked.

"If I really had to say, it's probably because... every now and then, the residents of White Poplar Town have strange nightmares." Tony adjusted his glasses, his head bowed as he spoke.

After a pause, he continued, "Some say it's because the Nightmare God Darkrai lives in the town, but not many people have actually seen him."

So it's still Darkrai.
Jing He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard no unusual fluctuations in spacetime.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Darkrai, who lived in the courtyard of Gaudi in Poplar Town, had no ill intentions.

On the contrary, it is the guardian deity of Baiyang Town.

While it may sometimes be unavoidable for some people or Pokémon to have a nightmare, it is not actually very harmful, and the nightmare is not very scary.

This is all because Darkrai tried so hard to restrain himself.

However, this Darkrai is not the same as Darkrai's; their strength is on completely different levels.

When this Darkrai gets really fierce, it can go head-to-head with the two legendary Pokémon, Dialga and Palkia!
If this doesn't prove its strength, then there's only one other way.
Its dark hole caused Ash to fall into a deep sleep for a long time.

"If there's a chance, maybe we can save it," Jinghe thought to herself.

After all, this is indeed a Pokémon worthy of respect.

Of course, all of this is predicated on encountering the right opportunity and having sufficient personal ability.

It seems highly unlikely we'll run into each other now. A strange sense of relief washes over me.

"By the way, where's Gengar?"

Jinghe's gaze swept across a corner of the courtyard in front of her.

Given Gengar's personality, it's probably the one causing the most trouble during such a lively time.

Surprisingly, I didn't see it jumping around at all.

At this time, Gengar...
"Genga~"

It tiptoed around, parting the dense bushes and branches in the courtyard.

"Let's go back, Loto."

Rotom, who was filming, inexplicably felt a little nervous.

But Gengar patted its chest and said, "It's okay, we still have this."

The problem arises because of it. Humble Rotom, dares to think but not to speak.

"哓GA!"

found it!
Gengar let out a happy cry.

Rotom, however, froze in place, sensing a gaze directed at it—a gaze that was extremely intimidating.

See you soon.

In a corner deep within the bushes and woods cleared by Gengar, under the shade of a tree, a Darkrai with black and white clouds gently swaying is taking a nap.

When Gengar and Rotom saw it, it suddenly opened its eyes and saw them.

Darkrai's expression gradually turned serious as it rose from the ground, its gaze fixed intently on Gengar and Rotom.

It can sense a threat from Gengar.

What's strange is that it also faintly sensed the aura fluctuations of at least two of its own kind from Gengar.

Is Darkrai really that widespread now?

More importantly, it even sensed a trace of Giratina's presence!
Giratina!

Other Pokémon might not know what Giratina is, but it knows very well.

Rotom didn't dare to move an inch, but Gengar seemed quite at ease, waving at it as a greeting.

Seeing this, Rotom breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Gengar didn't say anything inappropriate.
But just as this thought arose, Gengar spoke.

"Genga~"

Hey! I've beaten up two of your kind~ (hands on hips)
Rotom's expression froze again, his heart churning with turmoil—I want to go home, Rotom! (PД`q。)·。 ​​'゜

Darkrai didn't speak, but the black and white clouds around him moved even faster.

Is this person here to challenge us?
Immediately afterwards, Gengar flicked its tongue and spat out a box of Energy Cubes, which it then threw at Darkrai.

Darkrai caught it almost instinctively.

Then he looked at Gengar with a puzzled expression.

What does this mean?
First they mock me, then they give me a gift?

Gengar grinned to itself, "Gengar~(▼O▼)/"

From now on, we're friends!
After saying that, he didn't linger and pulled Rotom back.

Darkrai glanced at Gengar, then at the Energy Cube in its hand, and a question mark, just like Slowpoke's, appeared above its head.

?

Gengar, on the other hand, clapped his hands with a grin.

Done!

Darkrai was a little confused, but Gengar was quite pleased with itself.

What is this called?
This is called "paying respects to the powerful"!
This town of Baiyang is Darkrai's territory. Some time after it followed Jinghe into Baiyang Town, it vaguely sensed Darkrai's presence.

The feeling became even more pronounced upon arriving at Gaudi's courtyard.

As the "big brother" of Kanaz City, when he came to Poplar Town, he naturally had to meet the "head of the town".

In "professional" terms, this is called "paying respects to the boss".

Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

When you get to Darkrai's territory, you should first be courteous and then resort to force.

Gengar is quite familiar with these intricacies.

After paying their respects, they won't have to worry about doing anything in Baiyang Town or accidentally getting into trouble.

If Darkrai needs help, Gengar will lend a hand within their capabilities.

This is "tacit understanding," this is "industry practice"!
Night falls.

Jinghe and the others played in Gaodi's courtyard for an afternoon.

I originally planned to explore Ashtown properly, but the scenery in Gaudi's Garden and some of the Pokémon were really interesting, so time passed by without me even realizing it.

In the end, Jinghe and the others did not stay at Baron Albert's manor.

It's not that I think the manor is bad, or that I have any issues with Baron Albert.

They simply felt that since they had gotten to know Tony and Alice, as well as Baron Albert, they shouldn't take sides regarding the relationship between the three of them.

Ok.

It was definitely not because of Baron Albert's narcissism and his ultimate sycophancy; he had just been clearly rejected by Alice during the day, but that very night he invited her to his house as if she were his fiancée.

His bed is big and round, cough, I digress.

In fact, the Pokémon Center in Ashford Town is also very characteristic of Ashford Town. Its architectural style is quite distinctive, and the interior space is very large, with each room being very spacious enough for them to rest.

After feeding the young kilas, Jinghe climbed into bed to sleep.

After Gengar turned off the lights, only the whooshing sound of Urshifu's punches could be heard in the room.

The moonlight is bright and clear.

Gengar, who was lying on the ceiling covered with a small sheet, suddenly opened its eyes.

Besides Young Gilas and the Martial Arts Bear Master, all the little guys in the room opened their eyes and looked in the same direction.

I saw.

A shadow was cast on the window in the moonlight.

Darkrai!

Darkrai's gaze swept over Gengar before landing on the sleeping Jinghe.

It could also sense that the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox beside Jing He carried a very pure "Crescent Feather," a "Crescent Feather" blessed by Cresselia, which even it could not inflict with nightmares.

"Genga~"

Gengar lowered its voice and waved to the little guys.

It's okay, friend~
Upon hearing this, the little ones, without suspecting anything, yawned and went back to sleep.

Ice Nine-Tail snuggled into Jing He's arms, gently nuzzling him twice to find the most comfortable position.

"That's enough, that's enough. Just another two hundred million will be enough," Jing He murmured.

Darkrai's gaze swept over all the little ones.

It's no wonder I almost blew my hand into a dark hole the moment I saw it.

What kind of Pokémon are these?!
The auras of Giratina, Rayquaza, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Groudon, and Regigigas.
There were even remnants of the superpowers of Mew, Marshadow, and some other Pokémon it didn't even know.

It didn't want to mention anything else, like the Three Divine Birds, the Three Divine Beasts, the Three Divine Mushrooms, or the Three Divine Pillars.

Are these guys ganging up to fleece the mythical beast?

Gengar floated away.

Looking at that figure standing on the telephone pole, casting an infinitely long shadow, I wonder whose Darkrai it was paying homage to.
He immediately took out his sunglasses and put on a small cape.

Yes, we can't lose our momentum.

Seeing Gengar's appearance, Darkrai's eye twitched.

But it still spoke up: "What are you doing here?"

doing what?
Gengar scratched its head, "Gengar~"

Come play a match! We've been invited to play in an invitational tournament.

Invitational tournament?

Darkrai breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It almost thought the other party had come to subdue it.

"Is he your trainer?" Darkrai's gaze swept over Jing He, and he asked again.

he?
Gengar turned around and looked at Jinghe, a look of realization dawning on his face.

He scratched his butt and said, "Giggle~"

I guess so, but he's a Pokémon psychologist, or rather, a Pokémon psychology teacher.

Gengar then asked in return:

"Genga?"

What? Do you have psychological problems that you need counseling? Is there someone you miss, or something you can't let go of?

However, we'll have to wait until daytime, as Jinghe is already asleep.

You're the one with psychological problems!
Darkrai glared at Gengar with annoyance.

But inexplicably, deep within its heart, it seemed as if a string had been gently plucked.

Is it the person you miss, the things you can't let go of?
Darkrai felt a slight panic upon sensing this.

After giving Gengar a deep look, it disappeared into the night.

Gengar shook his head.

I'm embarrassed.

Looking at the telephone pole where Darkrai had been standing, his eyes darted around, and after a sinister grin, he drifted over.

Then he stood on top of the telephone pole, pulled his cloak over himself, and slowly squatted down.

Its jet-black body blended into the night, making its scarlet eyes stand out even more.

The moon hangs behind it.

"Hey, I have to say, he looks pretty cool standing like that," Gengar thought to himself.

I've mastered another style!
