Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 48 Hey, it's a Dodo! (Please vote with your monthly tickets to read further!)
If you look closely, you'll see that what Gastly actually sees is a majestic Charizard, and there seems to be a person lying on Charizard's back.

Ok?
Jinghe, who had walked to the window and poked her head out, was slightly taken aback.

That familiar pose, that cloak that's barely visible—it's A-Du!
Why did A-Du come knocking on our door?

No, no, no, it's also possible that they found someone else. After all, old neighborhoods like his, which lack surveillance, are the easiest places for criminals to hide.

With that thought in mind, Jinghe looked away, humming a little tune, and continued making breakfast.

After half an hour.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

There was a knock on the door.

"Kou Jie——"

Here it comes!

Gastly, with bread in its mouth, mumbled a reply and quickly went to the door. Instead of opening it immediately, it went straight through the door and poked its eyes out.

Jinghe said that we can't just open the door to anyone, what if they're bad people?
Then Gastly saw that Lance, with short, brown-red hair, a resolute and handsome face, and sharp features, wearing a black investigator's uniform and a cape, was standing at their door.

Gastly's gaze met Lance's.

Adu smiled slightly.

"You must be Teacher Jinghe's Pokémon, right? Hello, I'm Yulong."

"Kou Jie!!"

Before Adu could finish speaking, Gastly immediately pulled its head back and yelled into the room.

Guess who I saw?
Hey, it's a dodo!

A'Du: "???"

Then A-du heard footsteps and a reprimand.

"Stop shouting!"

Click.

The door opens.

A-Du saw Jing He biting into a "cherry berry," and Gastly floating to the side, its lips pursed, black mist swirling around, its hand forming a gesture as it covered its head.

"Mr. A'Du?"

Jing He looked surprised.

Is he really looking for himself?

A-Du was also somewhat surprised.

"Does Teacher Jinghe know me?"

He found Gastly's previous reaction strange. Although he didn't quite understand what Gastly was saying, Gastly seemed to know him very well.

Jinghe smiled and said:

"The famous young investigator from Kanto, Miyuu Wataru, who doesn't know him? Please come in."

He stepped aside.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

"Kou Jie."

Gastly reverted to its cheerful demeanor and greeted everyone.

Gastly: ╭(●｀●)╯

Then, he pulled out his phone from somewhere, quickly swiped his tongue across it, and found Adu's promotional poster photo, which made Adu realize something.

"Had breakfast?"

After entering.

Almost instinctively, A-Du's gaze swept across the room, taking in the entire layout.

He had to admit that although the house was small and the interior decoration was simple, it was very cozy and gave him a sense of comfort.

"Thank you, I've already eaten."

"There's nothing much to offer, how about a bottle of milk?"

Jinghe brought over a bottle of Moo Moo fresh milk.

"Thank you."

The two sat down at the dining table.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, A-Du explained his purpose.

"That's roughly it. Aerodactyl might go out of control during intense battles or training sessions. Otherwise, there's no apparent problem, and the Pokémon Center can't find anything wrong with it."

"Hmm." Jing He gently rubbed her chin against her hand. "Intermittent, uncontrollable hyperactivity."

"By the way, how did Mr. Adu know me? I shouldn't be that famous, right?" Jinghe suddenly asked.

“It was introduced by King Genji,” Adu said with a smile. “Besides, Teacher Jinghe, your reputation at Silver Academy was already quite considerable.”

Did they investigate themselves?

Right.

After all, he's a Kanto investigator, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out anything about his time at the Silver Academy.

Genji, on the other hand, was finding ways to keep himself busy. Speaking of Genji, Watari remembered Genji's instructions and took out a yellowed book from his clothes—"The Insights of Fear".

"By the way, I apologize for the intrusion and for not being prepared. I heard that you are a Gastly trainer, Teacher Jinghe, so I brought a small gift in the hopes that it may be of some help to you."

"This is."

"Kou Jie?"

Gastly brought its head closer, its eyes lighting up instantly as if it had discovered a new toy, its scarlet tongue already itching to try it out.

Fear? It's familiar!

Jinghe picked up the book, flipped through a couple of pages, and her expression became rather strange.

A-du explained:
"I don't have much experience with Ghost and Poison-type Pokémon, so I specifically went to Elite Four member Agatha Christie and asked for this guide."

King Juzi!

Ghost-type Elite Four member of the Kanto region!
A while ago, Gastly was watching her videos every day to learn how to scare people.

Adu doesn't know much about Jinghe and Gastly's strength, but the thought of a Champion, especially a veteran Champion with experience in raising Ghost-type Pokémon, would be extremely tempting to any Ghost-type Pokémon trainer.

Moreover, Akiko's signature Pokémon is Gengar.

Indeed, this experience can be of great help to Jinghe in breeding Gastly.

But as he looked at the title "365 Ways to 'Made' a Trainer," cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead.

These are lessons learned from training, and also lessons learned from field operations!

"Kouhee, kouhee!"

Gastly kept nodding its head at Jing He.

It wants it!
Jing He smiled helplessly, rubbing her temples, and said, "This is too valuable. How about..."

"So, Teacher Jinghe, you absolutely must not let this book of insights circulate, otherwise..."

Even Adu felt a chill in his heart, let alone Jinghe.

Jing He's smile froze.

If this gets out today, his house will probably be filled with Ghost-type Pokémon that very night.

"It's strange, actually. Kikuko is not an easy person to talk to. When I asked her for this experience, I was almost kicked out. But when I told her that I wanted to give it to you, Teacher Jinghe, she only hesitated for a moment before giving it to me."

Of course, he also paid a price, but there's no need to go into details.

A-Du looked puzzled. "Teacher Jinghe, do you know King Kikuko?"

Larger beads of sweat appeared.

know?

How can it be!

But Jinghe quickly realized the key point.

paper!

His paper, which was praised and commented on by Dr. Oki!
As for the love-hate relationship between Kikuko and Professor Oak, which resembles a TV drama, let's leave it at that.

As Jinghe read this reflection, she felt as if the old woman with the cane and gloomy face was standing in front of her, asking:

Kid, do you choose this guide or Big Wood?
Jinghe quickly handed the notes to Gastly, warning it to hide them well and never take them out casually.

"Hehehe."

Gastly's head was pounding garlic.

He smiled like a simpleton.

"Uh, how could I possibly know Kikuko Tenno? Let's... talk about the fossil pterosaurs first."

"it is good."

Adu didn't dwell on these things too much.

"Well, it would be best if I could take a look."

After all, we can't know the specifics just from what A-du said.

"here?"

Let alone the fact that Jinghe's house simply couldn't accommodate the fossil pterosaur, even if it could, given the pterosaur's condition, it might cause unnecessary damage.

In fact, it's best not to summon it casually, not even within this neighborhood or the city proper of Kanaz.

Jing He pursed her lips.

“The city won’t do, we need to go to the suburbs at least.”

That fossil pterosaur was probably quite powerful.

"I feel so too."

A-du expressed his agreement.

"Then please wait a moment, Mr. Adu, while I go change my clothes."

Jinghe walked towards the room as she spoke.

A-Du nodded and waited silently.
