Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 473 Delivering the Divine Mountain and Magical Candy (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Hoenn, Ayaka City.

In early spring, Saiyu City, located in the south, is famous for its flowers and the sea.

The azure sky was filled with drifting clouds. A flock of proud swallows flew across the sky, leaving trails behind. A swarm of hunting butterflies fluttered among the flowers, seeking their way. A rhinoceros with horned horns lay asleep in the morning sun, accompanied by morning dew and nectar.

As the morning light shone down, the hunting swallowtail butterfly gently fluttered its wings and landed on the sharp horn of the rhinoceros.

The group walked through the flower-lined path without disturbing the sleeping rhinoceros or the resting hunting butterflies.

"The weather is really nice today."

Jing He, dressed in his signature little suit, adjusted his monocle and said with a smile.

to be frank.

As a Hoennian, he had been to the League headquarters in Kanto and Sinnoh several times, but this was his first time visiting the Hoenn League headquarters in the Hoenn region.

Young Kiras followed closely behind, carrying a sunflower he had picked from who-knows-where.

Her little face was flushed, as if she wanted to play with the hunting swallowtail butterflies, or perhaps she was pondering what the flowers tasted like.

However, because Jinghe was watching, it obediently chose not to run around.

Led by staff, Jinghe entered the headquarters building of the Fengyuan Alliance.

Overall, it wasn't much different from the headquarters buildings of the Kanto and Sinnoh Leagues that he had seen before. The layout might be slightly different, but it wasn't too different.

"Teacher Jinghe, that's the direction of the road to the championship."

At a three-way intersection, while waiting for identity verification, the staff warmly introduced things to Jinghe.

She cautiously observed the young man's sharply defined profile, a slight blush creeping onto her face.

Teacher Jinghe is just as handsome as he appears on TV.
I wonder if I can take a photo with you or get your autograph later?

The Road to the Championship?

Jinghe's expression was strange.

The current Hoenn League has all four Elite Four members and the Champion is still alive, unlike the Kanto League which only has four Elite Four members but the Champion position is temporarily vacant, and unlike the Sinnoh League which has two Elite Four members missing and the Champion is semi-retired.

In other words, if you want to pursue the championship path of the Tongfengyuan League...
To become the new champion, one must defeat four of the Four Heavenly Kings in a row and then defeat the champion.

This is extremely difficult.

However, in leagues like the Hoenn League and the Sinnoh League, the champions are getting old, and if there were a successor, they would probably have retired long ago.

The current champion of the Hoenn League is named Parry, and he is about the same age as Genji, or even a bit older.

He is of the same generation as Genji, Aya's grandfather Mura, Mauville Gym Leader Tess, and Steven's father Zufuki Hibiscus. He is now almost no longer involved in the affairs of the Hoenn League, and is rarely seen on television during major events.

While it's a bit better than the semi-retirement of the Sinnoh League champion, it's not that different.

I wonder if I'll be able to see Jinghe today.

"The right side leads to the Hoenn Sea," the staff member added.

Similar to Mt. Silver, the Hoenn Sea is an extremely dangerous place for ordinary trainers, as the wild Pokémon there are of exceptionally high level.

Simply put, it's where top players level up.

If you have the chance, you can go and take a look. Jinghe thinks she should be qualified to go in now.

In the special episode, for example, Red spends most of his time training in the Silver Mountain, either soaking in hot springs or enjoying hot springs with others.

Identity verification complete.

The staff led Jinghe into the core area of ​​the headquarters building and took the elevator to a conference room on the top floor.

"Enter."

A familiar voice came from inside; it seemed to be Bonnie the Heavenly King.

open the door.

It was a large conference room with a large round table in the center, and many people were sitting around the table, while some seats were empty.

Gee.
Although she had made preparations long ago, looking at the group of people in front of her, Jinghe couldn't help but click her tongue and sigh inwardly that they were all big shots from Hoenn.

The position of head is vacant.

On the left are Ice-type Elite Four member Bonnie and Dark-type Elite Four member Karyu. Also on the left are suspected to be Officer Jenny, the Hoenn League Police Chief, and Nurse Joy, the Hoenn Pokémon Center Director.
The first position on the right is empty, followed by Ghost-type Elite Four member Fleur, then Pyramid Pharaoh Mr. God, and the fourth and fifth positions are also empty. After that, it seems to be the Hoenn Contest General Manager, the Trainer Guild Manager, etc.

Some of them were people Jinghe knew, but most were people he didn't know.

However, Jing He seemed to be familiar to everyone present, and most of them showed friendly smiles, while some were curious.

Strange, where is Genji?

Not here yet?

I know I'm not going to be the last one to arrive.

With this question in mind, Jing He smiled and nodded to everyone as a gesture of greeting.

Is it really appropriate for an ordinary teacher like myself to attend such a meeting?

Why do I feel like I've boarded a "pirate ship"?

"Let me introduce you all, this is Teacher Jinghe, you should all be familiar with her." Bonnie, the Heavenly King, stood up with a smile, exuding an air of elegance.

After everyone had greeted her, she said to Jing He, "Teacher Jing He, please take a seat."

Shall we take our seats?

Where should we sit?

Jinghe looked around, searching for the spot furthest to the side.

"Teacher Jinghe, over here!"

At this moment, the Ghost-type Elite Four member, Fleur, who had dark skin and was dressed in a style reminiscent of Alola beachwear, and was sitting in the second seat on the right, waved to him.

The pyramid pharaoh sitting beneath him was also an acquaintance of Jing He, and nodded slightly to him.

Oh, on the right.

Jing He thought to herself.

But there are people in the seats behind and to the right. Could they be sitting in the fourth or fifth seat?

Is it appropriate for an ordinary teacher like me to sit in front of the head of the Grand Contest and the head of the Trainers Guild?

Oh well, I was "forced" to attend this meeting anyway, so I might as well sit down and not come again next time.
So Jinghe went over.

"Here, here."

Just as Jinghe was wondering whether it was the fourth or fifth position, Furong waved to him again.

And this time, he explicitly indicated that his position was on the other side of Hibiscus.
Ok?
This time, Jinghe was slightly bewildered.

Not
The first position on the right, logically that should be the position of Genji, right?

At this moment, Bonnie seemed to notice Jinghe's confusion and asked in bewilderment, "Teacher Jinghe, didn't Genji tell you?"

"What did you say?" Jing He's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.

“You’ll be attending in his place for now,” Bonnie said.

Jing He: "??"

Didn't you ask me to participate?
But for Bonnie, it was a different story. Genji wanted to invite Jinghe to participate but was refused, so he asked Bonnie for help.

Bonnie assumed Jinghe knew and that her agreement meant consent, while Jinghe thought it was simply Bonnie's invitation.
Good grief, are we being forced into this?
Jinghe seemed to vaguely understand what Yuanzhi Tianwang meant, and Bonnie also seemed to have a sudden realization.

Unlike Jinghe, Bonnie didn't feel uncomfortable at all and said happily, "Teacher Jinghe, please sit down."

Is this a matter of being polite or not?
But with so many people watching, he had no choice but to sit down.

We can only wait until after the fact to confront Genji, that cunning and shrewd old king. This time, without five or six million Alliance Coins worth of supplies, it's unlikely we can resolve this peacefully.

In the end, Jinghe sat down in the seat that originally belonged to Yuanzhi Tianwang.

Hmph, these Four Heavenly Kings aren't up to Yuan Zhi to decide. As long as he can't beat any of them, how could he be forced to join them? Thinking of this, Jing He felt much more at ease.

Moreover.

He might have the strength to barely rival an ordinary one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but such strength would obviously not be recognized by everyone.
A quick glance around.

All that came his way was friendly and supportive glances.

Miss Officer Jenny, Miss Joy, Mr. Kamishiro, and even the four Heavenly Kings beside him, Hibiscus
No, why don't you guys voice your objections?

At this moment, shouldn't some arrogant and domineering person suddenly jump out and say, "Can't you sit in that position?"

Turning around, they discovered that most of them were "their own people."

Jing He remained silent.

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin." Bonnie, as the host of the meeting, got straight to the point and began to recount some of the events that had occurred in the Hoenn region recently.

"Hello, Teacher Jinghe, I'm Furong."

"The ghost-type Heavenly King Furong, who was sitting next to Jinghe, said in a low voice."

She looked to be no more than two or three years older than Daigo, about the same age as Jinghe. "Giggle."

Gengar peeked out from Jinghe's shadow, stuck out its tongue at Furong with a smile, and greeted her.

"What an adorable Gengar!" Fleur exclaimed, her eyes sparkling like a little girl seeing her favorite toy.

Gengar, cute?
Jing He's lips twitched as she glanced behind her.
Okay, it is quite cute.

How can there be such an adorable Pokémon as Gengar!
“Gengar really likes you, Teacher Jinghe,” Furong said, a faint glint in her eyes.

Fleur is the Ghost-type Elite Four member, and is said to possess the ability to communicate freely with Ghost-type Pokémon, and is also very popular with Ghost-type Pokémon.

If we were in another world, it would probably be—the Innate Ghost King's Sacred Body?
"Gengga~ Gengga~"

Gengar grinned and actually patted Jinghe on the back, as if to say—

Look at my little brother, isn't he handsome?
Seeing this, Furong's smile widened, and she exclaimed again, "How adorable!"

It's clear that she genuinely loves Ghost-type Pokémon.

As the Ghost-type Elite Four member, Flü is skilled in using Ghost-type Pokémon to employ unpredictable and elusive tactics.

These tactics were precisely what Jinghe exhibited in its early days.

So even though it was the first time Furong had met Jinghe, she had a very good impression of him.

Gengar seemed to like Fleur very much, and soon the two of them were playing by themselves in the conference room.

"Well"

Suddenly, Furong looked at Jinghe, somewhat puzzled, and asked:
"Teacher Jinghe, Gengar seems to..."

"what happened?"

"Genga?"

Gengar tilted its head, wondering what Fleur wanted to say.

"It seems..." Furong scratched her head, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but if you have the chance, Teacher Jinghe, you could take Gengar to Mt. Sacred.

Send a sacred mountain?
That place is a famous Pokémon burial ground in the Hoenn region, filled with a large number of Ghost-type Pokémon, and Flème's grandparents live on Mt. Vishnu.

Jinghe almost subconsciously connected the dots to the fact that Gengar had been asleep for a thousand years.
Don't let Gengar's current playful and childlike nature fool you; it is indeed a genuine "thousand-year-old ghost."

However, when it was first subdued by Jing He, it had almost forgotten what happened before it fell into a deep sleep, and it no longer had any memories of a thousand years ago.

Could it be related to the Sending-off Mountain?

Considering Furong's "abilities," Jinghe still values ​​her quite a bit.

"Genga?"

Gengar scratched his head, tugged at Jinghe's clothes, and pointed at Furong, asking:

Would you call him a riddle teller?
Jing He was speechless. He patted the little fat boy's head and began to listen attentively to what Bonnie was saying.

The main topic is Team Magma, Team Aqua, and Violet. It's not hard to tell that the Hoenn League has started to pay attention to Team Magma and Team Aqua.

I reckon these two teams won't be able to hide for much longer.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

Ideally, Groudon and Kyogre should not be revived.

At this meeting, Jing He adhered to the same principle as when attending college meetings: speaking little or nothing. When asked questions, she gave rather official and general answers, such as...
I would say things like, "I am mortal enemies with Team Lava" or "I am mortal enemies with Team Aqua".

In short, it's about highlighting one thing.

Although I represent Genji, I won't speak recklessly. You are the big shots, so it's up to you to make the decisions.

Anyway, he figured that if Genji attended the meeting, he would probably be in the same state.

Overall, the meeting proceeded very smoothly.

The assembled leaders reached a consensus: Officer Jenny and the Hoenn League investigators would begin gathering information on Team Magma and Team Aqua.

After all, the Hoenn Alliance doesn't know enough about these two mysterious organizations, so it's difficult for them to come up with any targeted solutions.

As for saying.

The Lava Team executive "Himura" who was captured by Wusong was extremely tight-lipped. Out of "humanitarian" reasons, the Alliance could not forcibly interrogate him. Although a lot of things were obtained through hypnosis, they did not involve the core of the Lava Team.

The Lava Team's base that they learned about was already deserted when the Alliance members arrived.

Therefore, Bonnie could only emphasize that everyone should be prepared to deal with trouble.

For Jinghe, aside from the initial awkwardness and slight embarrassment, attending this meeting was really just attending a conference.

The only difference is that this meeting was at a higher level.

After the meeting, Bonnie called out to Jinghe.

The two arrived at Bonnie's office.

"Teacher Jinghe, this is a reward from the alliance."

Bonnie took out a rather exquisite-looking box and placed it on the table.

This is a reward for Jinghe's efforts in quelling the unrest in Green Ridge City.

Filled with curiosity, Jinghe opened the box and found a candy wrapped in special oil paper inside.

"This is."

Jing He's mind raced slightly; although she had some guesses, she was mostly taken aback.

“Magic candy,” Bonnie laughed.

It really is!
[Rare Candy: Can raise a Pokémon's level by 1, or evolve a Pokémon that has reached the maximum level.]

Jinghe thought this kind of thing only existed in games, but she never expected it to exist in the real world.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved.

The Pokémon world does have a hierarchy system for Pokémon.

In fact, the League has specialized equipment to detect Pokémon levels, and even Jinghe's Pokédex has this function.

The level detection system is a bit confusing.

After all, Pokémon are living beings, not data; they are not something that can be measured by numbers.

It is related to one's physiological and psychological state.

所以有时候等级检测出来一只宝可梦可能是30级，过一会可能就变成28、27级，或者是31、32级。

There is a discrepancy.

Moreover, in an idealistic worldview, the hierarchical system, which is similar to materialism, is not widely accepted.

If a Pokémon's level and type can determine everything, then there's no need for battles or competitions; people can just compare levels.
What else could happen? The initial form defeats the final form, the reverse attribute wins, the power surge reverses the outcome, and so on.

That's why there are situations where Little Yellow's "Infusion" can instantly turn a group of Pokémon in their teens or twenties into Pokémon in their seventies or eighties.

Of course, if the levels differ significantly, it still has some reference value.

Jinghe estimated that, if you really counted, his own ghost's level was probably close to sixty-three or sixty-four.
The remaining Ice Ninetales are around 60, while Greatsmith and Dragonite are slightly lower, and Urshifu and Azure Blademaster are even lower.

"It can raise a Pokémon's level, but the specific effects vary depending on the Pokémon and how it's used," Bonnie explained.

The implication is roughly this:
Using this on a low-level Pokémon might result in a larger level increase, while using it on a high-level Pokémon might result in a smaller increase, or even no increase at all.

After all, it would be a bit illogical for the contents of the candy to remain the same and have the same effect on low-level and high-level users.

But no matter what, it's definitely a good thing for Pokémon.

Bonnie then gave a brief explanation of its function.

Jing He nodded.

This thing is good.

It's much better than any Pokémon eggs or legendary items.

I wish I could get a few hundred.
“Elite Four member Bonney.” Jing He pursed her lips. “I have seven or eight Pokémon, one candy isn’t enough to share.”

With so many adorable little ones in my family, how am I supposed to share just one candy?
They all contributed when facing Rayquaza and Deoxys.

Bonnie shrugged. "There's nothing we can do. Like the Master Ball, this thing can't be mass-produced. All the stock in our league probably wouldn't even be enough for you to get one round."

have to.

It seems there aren't many in the league's inventory.

Jinghe also learned about the value of the "magic candy".

I reckon it's unlikely we'll be able to mine a few more.

How should we divide it?
sugar.
He looked at the candy in his hand and pondered for a moment.

Since it's sugar, it makes perfect sense to use it for stir-frying vegetables or making desserts, right?
