Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 444 Pioney's Request (Seeking monthly votes!)
Hello, champion.

Goodbye, champion.

Jinghe encountered a wild champion, but unfortunately couldn't catch it, so he decisively chose to leave.

But just because he wanted to leave didn't mean Pioni was willing to let him go. She started pulling him aside and asking him questions, such as his zodiac sign, hobbies, and how many people were in his family.
No, sir, are you really checking my household registration?

"Ahem, Champion Pioni, what brings you to Hoenn?" Jinghe tried to change the subject.

“Oh, I heard from little Sonia that she’s coming to study with you, so she has a child at home and hopes you can help take care of her, Teacher Jinghe,” Pioni grinned.

"child?"

"Her name is Little Peony, or rather, Peony."

peony
Jing He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a person.

She might not be familiar with being called Peony, but if you call her "Fairy Queen" or the leader of the "Celestial Star Team," many more people will know her.

"Wait a moment, I'll bring Little Peony to pay a visit soon!"

Pioni said something and quickly ran back, and Jinghe couldn't stop him no matter what she tried.

“Peony,” Jing He repeated the name.

As far as he knew, Peony had two daughters, one of whom was Shakoya, who accompanied him to the Crown Tundra to investigate the legendary Pokémon "Cauliflower" Calyrex.

The other one was sent to the Orange Academy in the Padiya region to study; that is, Peony, the leader of the Celestial Star Team.

The so-called "Tianxing Team" is actually a gang privately formed by some students from Orange Academy. They often disrupt campus discipline and recruit members through forceful means, causing trouble for those around them.

Ultimately, they are just a group of students.

However, the purpose of the "Tianxing Team" was to stop school bullying. Most of its initial members were people who had experienced or witnessed school bullying.

This includes peonies.

But it's not uncommon for the dragon slayer to become the dragon himself. After the bullying incident at Orange Academy disappeared, the "Star Team" became the bully.

As for Peony, perhaps due to her personality, she was indeed bullied at school. After joining the "Tianxing Team," she became the real boss behind the scenes of the "Tianxing Team" with her abilities and strength, calling herself "Fairy Queen."

Ultimately, it's Pioneer's father, a champion, who is irresponsible.

“He’s a problem child,” Jing He sighed softly.

back home.

"Genga?"

Gengar was warming itself by the fire next to Charcoal Boy, looking at Jinghe whose clothes were soaked with sweat with a hint of confusion.

This was the first time it had ever seen Jing Hechen sweat while running.

"We'll have some guests coming over soon. Have the servants prepare some snacks to welcome them," Jinghe said.

"叏Ga!∠(°ゝ°)"

Gengar immediately stood up and saluted, indicating that it understood.

He turned around and called out to his friends.

Jinghe said, "Welcome Yixia a little!"

I took a quick shower.

As I was going downstairs, I saw Pioneer leading three girls into the cafe.

"Teacher Jinghe!" Sonia was very happy to see Jinghe and greeted her right away.

Jing He smiled as well, "Long time no see, Sonia. How's Dan Di?"

Sonia crossed her arms, turned her head away, and said angrily, "Who knows where he got lost again."

Jing He was speechless.

As expected of Leon, he's either lost or on his way to getting lost, and even his Pokémon have been "infected" by him.

"Teacher Jinghe, let me introduce you. This is Uncle Pionipi, the Galar champion."

Sonia pointed to Pione, who had changed into an orange mountaineering outfit.

"Hahahaha—Little Sonia, keep it down, keep it down, you can't just talk about winning the championship, hahahaha—" Pioni laughed loudly with his hands on his hips.

His laughter drew the attention of many people in the store, some with doubt and a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Who is this guy? Laughing so loudly, isn't he afraid of getting beaten up by 'older sister'?"

"Champion? Pshaw, Teacher Jinghe has already won two championships. Who isn't a champion?"

"Even if you are the champion, you still have to behave yourself in Teacher Jinghe's coffee shop."

"."

For coffee shops, customers seem to have an even stronger sense of "honor" than Jinghe.

boom!
Shakoya couldn't help but kick Pioney, "Too loud, old man!"

"Old Man"

Pioni instantly wilted, like an eggplant that had been hit by frost.

Sonia smiled slightly, then continued, "This is Uncle Pi's eldest daughter, Shakoya."

"Good morning, Teacher Jinghe." Xia Keya smiled, waved to Jinghe, and winked.

"And this is Uncle Pi's youngest daughter, Peony."

Sonia then introduced another woman, Peony, who seemed somewhat out of place, with her head down and most of her face hidden under her hat.

Peony was wearing a gray sweatshirt, carrying a fluffy Eevee backpack, with a lace skirt and long, slender legs encased in black stockings printed with red and blue plus and minus signs, and a pair of black Doc Martens boots.

“Peony is rather shy and timid,” Sonia whispered.

Jing He smiled slightly, "It's a very cute Eevee backpack."

Ok?
Peony slightly raised her head, seemingly surprised by Jinghe's praise of her backpack, but quickly lowered it again.

Looking at the four people in front of her, Jing He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Galar regional champion, the younger brother of the Galar League president and his two nieces, the future Galar champion and the president's childhood sweetheart and girlfriend.
If we control these people, wouldn't that be the same as controlling the entire Galar region?
"Cough cough cough, ge ga, ge ga~~"

At this time.

Gengar's voice suddenly came.

Jinghe had a bad feeling. She turned her head and instinctively covered her face.

I saw.

On the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, Gengar stood carefully on the handrail with its two chubby feet, holding a microphone in its hand, and even patted it in a very professional manner.

behind it.

Dragonite strained to support its large belly, while Urshifu gently patted its belly, producing a rhythmic "thump-thump" sound.

The Great Blacksmith slung his hammer across his shoulder, his fist lightly tapping the handle to produce a "clang, clang" sound, while Young Gilas bared his teeth at the hammerhead, his teeth lightly tapping the hammerhead to produce a "tinkling" sound.

Charcoal Servant exhaled white smoke, creating a hazy atmosphere, while Ice Nine-Tailed Fox stood on the cat tree, waving its tail.

backup dancers?

Jing He: "."

You wanted a little welcome, and this is how you greet me?
The phrase "collapse of ritual and music" popped into his mind subconsciously.

No, no, no, it didn't collapse badly enough.

It should be called "Music Theory Disorder".

"Hahaha—" Pioni found it very much to his liking and said to Jinghe, "Teacher Jinghe, you're going too far."

Sonia and Shakoya blushed, and Peony subconsciously took two steps back and lowered her head further.

Jing He's lips twitched, and he waved and clenched his fist at Gengar and the others.

"哓GA!"

Gengar seemed to understand and waved its hand.

Retreat!

"Why did you take it?" Pioni asked, looking puzzled.

Jing He said with a forced smile:

"Champion Peony, Gengar will sing you a solo song later."

Everyone knows that while others earn money by singing, Gengar earns its life by singing!

Hopefully, Pioni can persevere.

"Okay, okay." Unaware of what was going on, Pi-on-ni readily agreed.

Guided by Jing He, the group sat down in a corner.

The siblings, Ai Guan and his sister, immediately brought over coffee and desserts.

The older sister looked regretful.

If it weren't for preparing coffee and snacks, it would definitely have been a member of the "band" just now, playing the harmonica that Jinghe had just bought for it.

For example, the younger brother who loves to serve would never be able to fit in.

"Let me introduce Teacher Jinghe to everyone. He is..." Sonia said after sitting down.

However, before she could say much, Peony's soft voice rang out.

"Jing He, a Hoenn native, entered Silver University with the highest score in theory. After graduating early, he worked as a Pokémon Psychology Instructor at the Pokémon Academy in Rustboro City, and later became a Trainer, achieving [a certain level of success]."

She recounted Jinghe's information from beginning to end as if she knew it by heart.

"The champion of the Quartz and Lily of the Valley tournaments recently defeated Elite Four member Shiba in a performance match at the Poplar Town Festival, and seemingly single-handedly suppressed Dialga and Palkia for a brief period." "Bank account balance: 1000."

"Cough cough cough, ok, that's enough." Jinghe quickly interrupted Mudan.

He had previously thought that the timid and shy Peony and Pione were not quite like father and daughter, but now it seems they are quite alike, both liking to check household records.

The only difference is that Pioneer used a questioning method to find out, while Botan was more straightforward and directly hacked into the Alliance system to obtain information.

My bank card balance will be reported.

Jinghe even suspected that if Mudan were willing, she could directly reveal his bank card password.

Peony's ability to become the leader of the "Tianxing Team" is due in part to her strength, but her top-notch hacking skills are also a very important reason.

In the game, she can even directly transfer money from the Alliance's currency system for the protagonist!

Fortunately.

No matter how skilled Mudan is at hacking, there are limits. She doesn't yet have access to some of the alliance's truly confidential information.

Team Rocket's defense level is almost the same as the League's, and may even be slightly higher than the League's because Jinghe helped Porygon evolve.

Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing if his identity as a Rockets team executive were revealed.

but
Since Peony can give the protagonist money in the game, can't she also do that?
The moment that dangerous thought arose, Jinghe nipped it in the bud.

No, no, we can't do anything illegal.

But what if the income is illegal in the first place?

For example, the Pokémon Hunter Gang.
Ok?
Jinghe felt as if she had discovered the key point.

"Oh," Peony nodded and didn't say anything more.

Seeing her like this, Sonia felt a pang of heartache, gently patted Peony's head, and said:

"Teacher Jinghe, due to some special reasons, Uncle Pi wants to transfer Peony to the Kanaz Pokémon Academy to study."

Special reason?
Was it that Peony was forced to suspend her studies by the previous principal of Orange Academy on the condition that she take responsibility for the entire "Tianxing Team" incident?

Peony and the leaders of the "Tianxing Team" challenged the former bullies within the academy, but the bullies, intimidated by their strength, refused to accept the challenge and dropped out of school one after another.

However, the head of the teaching department suppressed the matter and covered up the whole story, which led to the "Tianxing Team" being labeled as "bad students".

In order to quell the students' dissatisfaction, the old principal agreed not to expel the leaders of the "Tianxing Team" for the time being, and ordered Mudan to take full responsibility and temporarily transfer to another school for a year, until the matter was completely settled before returning to the academy.

So Peony returned to the Galar region to attend school.

So, are we at this stage now?

Moreover, judging from Sonia's words, it seems that Peony and Pione decided to transfer Peony to this school because of her.

but
"Isn't the transfer the responsibility of Director Minjiang? I'm not the class's tutor; I'm just a regular Pokémon psychology instructor," Jinghe said.

“The transfer procedures have all been completed,” Sonia said.

That's fine then, go wherever you want.

Sonia continued, "Uncle Pi just wants to meet with you, Teacher Jinghe."

Jinghe looked at Pioni.

He said with a solemn expression, "Teacher Jinghe, I'm entrusting my daughter to you!"

"I need to go to a very dangerous place for a mission. Peony is still too young to take her with me, so..."

Jing He: "."

I'm just a teacher of an ordinary class, don't act like I'm some kind of regent.

Do you big shots like this?

That's how Pioney talks, and sometimes Boss Sakaki talks in the same tone.
“Champion Pioni, look at me here. It’s not appropriate for a grown man like me to live here with a girl, is it?”

"Um, Ms. Jinghe, Peony lives with me," Sonia said cautiously, raising her hand.

"That"

"Teacher Jinghe, may I speak to you in private?" Pioni said, standing up with a rare seriousness in his expression.

The two walked to the side.

Pioni said, "Teacher Jinghe, as you've seen, Xiao Mudan's personality is quite..."

"This is my fault. Xiaxia is okay because I still had time to spend with her back then. But when Xiao Mudan was born, I had already become a champion and was too busy to spend time with her, which led to her experiencing some things."

"I heard from little Sonia that you are a very remarkable psychologist."

"A Pokémon psychology mentor," Jing He emphasized.

“It’s the same idea,” Piony added. “So I hope you can help me, give me some advice.”

Jinghe sighed softly.

I already said I'm a Pokémon psychology mentor.
"But I think that for Peony's situation, it would be better if you, Champion Pioni, spent more time with her."

Pione also sighed.

“I know that, but the moment I became the champion, many things were no longer up to me. I had to be responsible for the residents of the entire Galar region.”

After a pause, he quickly added:

"Just this once. After I finish this mission, I'm going to step down as champion and stay by Little Peony's side forever!"

He looked at Jing He with a firm expression and resolute attitude.

Jinghe could sense the sense of responsibility that Pioni carried as a champion.

Just like Steven in the future, he fought against Groudon and Kyogre for 22 days to protect the entire Hoenn region!
This has far exceeded the limits of ordinary people, and what supports him is the responsibility of being a champion.

For example, Cynthia, Lance, Karuno, and Leon. Each champion is not just someone who possesses a title, but also someone who carries an incredibly heavy responsibility.

However, after hearing what Pione said, he began to understand why Pione insisted on seeing him.

This is a "problem student," and we want him to help "treat" him.

"Moreover, Little Peony is actually quite good at combat. If there's a chance, I hope Teacher Jinghe can teach her more," Pioni added.

As the child of a champion, Mudan's talent as a trainer is bound to be exceptional.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to convince the other leaders of the "Tianxing Team".

"As a token of my gratitude, you can rest assured about the expenses, Teacher Jinghe." Seeing that Jinghe seemed to agree, Pioni breathed a sigh of relief and then added.

As the champion and the younger brother of Loz, the president of the Marocomon Group, Pione is not bad off, even though he doesn't have as much money as Daigo, whose wealth is just a number.

But Jinghe reached out and interrupted him.

"As her student and me as her teacher, there are some things that cannot be measured by money."

Yes, Jinghe is short of money, but as a teacher, he has his own way of making money, rather than through students' "red envelopes" or students' parents' "red envelopes".

Otherwise, with Daigo around, would he ever lack money?
This is a matter of principle, and it is also a bottom line that Jinghe has always adhered to.

Of course, if they weren't his students, that would be a different story.

Upon hearing this, Pioneer paused for a moment, then revealed an expression of admiration, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Jinghe, I was being presumptuous. You are a very respectable teacher."

Jing He twitched the corner of her mouth.

If you had come a month earlier, before I even completed the enrollment procedures for Mudan, would you have respected me more?
"If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, Teacher Jinghe," Pioni patted his chest and assured her.

As a champion, even if he steps down later, this guarantee still carries a lot of weight.

Jing He pursed her lips, pondered briefly, and then said:

"Currently, there is indeed a problem that might require your help, Champion Pioni."

"Oh?" Pione's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What is it?"

"I heard that you, Champion Pioni, were once a 'professional' too?" Jinghe asked.

This was something Jinghe only heard about after arriving in the Pokémon world.

Before becoming champion, Pioney was the Gym Leader of the Steel-type Gym in the Galar region, and also a well-known "master craftsman".

The term "master craftsman" refers to someone who forges or repairs the items that Pokémon possess.

In the special episode "Sword/Shield", the protagonist, Sword Master, is also a "Master" and has a good relationship with Peony's daughter, Shakoya.

"Hahaha—I didn't expect you to know this, Teacher Jinghe. Putting everything else aside, my forging skills are unmatched in the entire Galar region!" Pione proudly gave a thumbs up.

That would be easy.

Jing He turned around and shouted upstairs, "Master Blacksmith!"

"just!!"

Hearing the shouts, the great blacksmith, carrying his hammer, slid down the stair railing and then trotted over to him.

"A master blacksmith from the Padia region?" Upon seeing the master blacksmith, Pioni immediately became interested.

No skilled craftsman could resist a Pokémon like Greatsmith.

What's more, Pione is a champion specializing in Steel-type Pokémon.

"Good hammer!"

When Pioni saw the hammer carried by the master blacksmith, his eyes lit up. "He's been trained exceptionally well."

"just?"

Noticing Pione's gaze, the Great Blacksmith quickly hugged his hammer tightly and looked at him warily.

I feel like someone's eyeing our hammer!
Jing He patted the heavy hammer of the Great Blacksmith and smiled, "This child has encountered some problems recently. I wonder if Champion Pioni can help him out."

"no problem!"

Pione agreed without hesitation.
