Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 502 N's Bewilderment (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
April 14, Monday, Koalas Pokémon Academy.

"Are we preparing for the 'Spring Festival'?" Jing He, who was sitting below attending a teachers' meeting, looked thoughtful as she listened to Director Minjiang's speech on stage.

He slightly raised his eyelids, taking in all the teachers from the Kanaz Pokémon Academy around him.

Apart from faculty members like Dr. Solans who were often absent, most of the faculty advisors were present.

"As expected, she still didn't come."

Jing He thought of A-Quan, the "marine airflow mentor" he knew but wasn't very close to, who was also one of the highest-ranking officers in the marine team.

Since the start of this semester, A-Quan has not appeared at school.

Jinghe subtly inquired about Minjiang.

Minjiang said that Professor Aquan said he was conducting research on the ocean and had already asked for leave. As for when he would return, Minjiang did not know.

In fact, the college's policies toward tutors of minor courses such as A-Quan, Solans, and even Jing He are generally quite lenient.

Solans hasn't come to the college very often this semester.

That is, Jing He, because the academy's training room is particularly useful, and he also has a "Pokémon Psychological Counseling Room" that he needs to oversee, so he often appears at the academy.

He had originally thought that now that he had the strength to protect himself, he might be able to learn something about the Ocean Team from A-Quan.

It seems we can only wait for the league to investigate itself.

After the meeting, Jinghe found Minjiang, who was on his way to the principal's office, and told him that he needed to ask for a leave of absence.

Anyway, the college will be preparing for the "Spring Festival" next, just like the "Autumn Festival" last semester, and will have a break to prepare for it.

This shows that schools in the Pokémon world have relatively lenient educational policies, with many holidays.

Of course, being a tutor for a minor course is much easier.

"Shall we go to Unova?"

Upon learning of this, the old principal, still sporting a bruised and swollen face, wore an expression that said, "I already knew."

After all, the upcoming "Young Masters Championship" will be held in the Unova region.

"Teacher Jinghe, could you help this old man deliver something to an old friend?" The old principal asked with a smile, his face covered in an ice pack.

At first, Jinghe might have been surprised that his old principal was often beaten, but after getting to know him and spending most of the semester with him, he had long since gotten used to it and was no longer surprised.

As for old friends...
Who doesn't know that our old principal is a well-known social butterfly in his later years?

Thinking about the "destruction" her own little ones had inflicted on the training room, and the old principal's tolerance, Jinghe thought about it and decided not to refuse.

Immediately, the old principal took out a package and placed it on his desk.

"To Shaka, the old man who is the gym leader of Shuanglong City." The old principal referred to Shaka as "old man," suggesting that they were quite familiar with each other.

think carefully.

Shaka is also an avid fitness enthusiast; despite his age, he has a very muscular physique.
Only top fighters like Shiba can rival him.

On the contrary, Master Ma's old-man appearance makes it hard to imagine that he was once a fighter.

Shuanglong City is located in the northern part of the Unova region, while Jinghe's destination is in the southern part of the Unova region, which is not exactly on the way.

but
Going there is fine.

"understood."

Jinghe stuffed the package into Gengar's mouth.

The alliance seems to be doing a bit less than ideal in cross-regional delivery.
Along with the package, there was also a first-class ticket from Kanaz to Osaka.

The former principal was very thorough in handling the tasks entrusted to him.

The Unova region is divided by rivers into a central area, a peninsula to the east, and land to the west, with the rivers themselves leading to the ocean to the south. Within the central area, from north to south, the Unova League headquarters and the three major cities of Twin Dragons City, Raven City, and Cloud City serve as the dividing lines.

Jinghe browsed through a tourist brochure about the Unova region, feeling the turbulence the plane was experiencing during flight, and turned her head to look out the window.

"Yo-yo."

Young Kiras was perched on the porthole, gazing out over the entire Unova region.

Outside the window, the weather was sunny and breezy, and in the distance, a flock of leisurely cooing pigeons and bean pigeons could be seen.

This reminded Jinghe of those infuriating "cooing pigeons" she used to read in novels.

Beyond the flock of cooing pigeons and bean pigeons, my gaze fell upon the massive glaciers standing beside the two rivers, and then upon the central region, upon the desert covered in yellow sand, where the ancient royal court of the Unova era lay buried.
An ancient legend tells of two princes, one with their ideal dragon and the other with their true dragon.
As my thoughts raced through my mind, a voice came from the radio.

"We are about to arrive at Shuanglong City Airport. Passengers, please note that the sweet voice brought Jinghe back to her senses."

He closed the tourist brochure and brought Young Gilas back with him.

"Genga."

Gengar stuffed the last bite of its snack into its mouth and obediently fastened its seatbelt.

This made the flight attendants on the plane breathe a sigh of relief.

We've finally arrived.
If we fly for another half hour, the food supplies in the first class cabin will be exhausted.

The plane landed smoothly, and Jing He and Young Gilas disembarked, successfully arriving in the Unova region, a continent far from the Hoenn region.

"Yo-yo."

Young Gilas visibly breathed a sigh of relief after landing.

It only feels truly safe when it's standing on the ground.

Jinghe actually had quite a few things to do during his trip to the United States.

One reason was naturally to help the old principal deliver packages, which was also the reason why he was the first to arrive in Shuanglong City.

Secondly, there are requests from Porygon Type B and Mewtwo to check on the Pokémon that are asking for help and offer assistance to the best of one's ability.

Third, visit the regional Pokémon professor in the Unova region, Professor Juniper.

As fellow Pokémon researchers, Jinghe and Professor Yew knew each other and had met once or twice, so a visit was necessary.

Fourth
If the timing is right, he will stay in the Unova region until the end of the "Young Masters World Championship," but if the timing is too far off, he will have to return to Hoenn first.

That's roughly the itinerary, from north to south.

So he needs to go to the Twin Dragons Dojo first to visit Mr. Shaka and deliver the package.
After making a simple plan, Jinghe followed the airport's signs and walked out of the airport.

It was April, and the sun was shining brightly.

Unova region, Shuanglong City.

A green-haired young man wearing a baseball cap sat under a parasol in front of a coffee shop, drinking his coffee while peering through the brim of his cap at the trainers passing by.

Pulling-

suddenly.

A bean pigeon that was foraging on the ground seemed to sense something. Looking at the green-haired youth, it felt an inexplicable sense of closeness and flew towards him without any fear.

The young man seemed completely unsurprised, letting the pigeon land on his shoulder. Seeing its affectionate behavior, the green-haired youth smiled warmly, gently picking off a crumb of bread and placing it in front of the pigeon.

"Cuckoo-"

DouDouGe immediately began to eat happily.

But the young man seemed to hear the pigeon's thoughts and said that it liked the young man very much.

Seeing its happy appearance, the green-haired youth closed his eyes halfway, and the things he had experienced and seen in the past six months floated into his mind.

His name is N, and he is an orphan.

But he has an adoptive father named Quixote, whose full name is Quixote Halmenia, one of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma.

He was chosen by the Seven Sages to be the "King" of Team Plasma!
His adoptive father, Ghetsis, told him that Pokémon are unfortunate, driven by humans, and that humans and Pokémon should not coexist. All Pokémon should be allowed to return to their own world.

Under this kind of indoctrination, N also believes this way.

Because he had a group of companions since he was a child: the black-eyed crocodile with an injured eye, the crippled sly boy, the symbol bird with a broken wing, and so on. They were all ravaged by humans to this extent.

This made him reject or even loathe humans.

But he also had two older sisters, who were also adopted daughters of Quixote and were revered as the "Goddess of Love" and the "Goddess of Peace".

N's relationship with his adoptive father, Quixote, was not good, even terrible, because Quixote would beat and scold him frequently when he was young, but his two stepsisters, who were not related to him by blood, treated him very well.

Furthermore, both of his older sisters told him that humans and Pokémon are not entirely opposed; in fact, they can coexist peacefully.
This left N feeling conflicted.

On the one hand, there was the influence of his adoptive father's ideology, which involved frequent beatings and verbal abuse, and on the other hand, the experiences of his companions.

On the other hand, there is the kindness of his sisters who love and care for him.

Caught in this dilemma, N remained unsure of how to cope.

until
About half a year ago, he met someone online named "Jingzhongzhihe," a Pokémon psychologist who supposedly helped many Pokémon.

N didn't know whether he belonged to the human race or the Pokémon race, but after much hesitation, he decided to seek advice.

They didn't communicate much.

But N saw what he wanted to see in the other person.

Help Pokémon!
Build an ecosystem!

and so.

After a struggle, N escaped the enormous castle that Quixote had built for him, which was like a prison.

Fearing being tracked down, he did not use any communication tools and lost contact with "Jingzhongzhihe".

However, he did pay attention to this person. Through other channels, he gradually realized that "Jingzhongzhihe" was the "Jinghe Teacher" who often appeared in the conversations of a group of people. He was praised by Professor Oak as the "Pokémon Mind Master".

Others may be more concerned about the important things that Teacher Jinghe has done.

For example, winning the tournament, defeating the Time-Space Twin Dragons, riding the Rayquaza, etc.

But he pays more attention to the little things.

Some of the comments from people who received help from Teacher Jinghe online and in real life said that their Pokémon received help and treatment.

At the same time, after leaving the castle, N gradually realized that it would be almost impossible to build an ecosystem for Pokémon with only the money he had and no personal connections.

But he saw a lot during his travels.

What impressed him most were the trainers who refused to give up on their elderly long-haired dogs, the trainers who braved the rain and worked tirelessly for over three hours to treat their injured Pokémon, and the trainers who would rather go hungry themselves than let their Ironhide go hungry.
From these trainers' Pokémon, he heard the Pokémon's love for their trainers, a love that came from the bottom of their hearts.

However, it cannot be denied that he also witnessed trainers abusing and humiliating Pokémon.

A tapestry of beauty and nightmares, a tug-of-war between promises and betrayals.

Overall, however, there were more good things than nightmares, and more promises kept than betrayals.

The world is not as bad as my adoptive father Quixote described, but it is not without its flaws. It is not a black-and-white world; there is bullying, but there is more kindness.

So he came back.

Since it's impossible to build a suitable ecosystem for Pokémon to live in on an individual basis, then we'll use the power of Team Plasma.

As the "king" of Team Plasma, he felt he deserved such power.

Although his adoptive father, Ghetsis, treated him badly, N thought Ghetsis's philosophy on Pokémon was good.

At least Team Plasma's motto is to let Pokémon return to nature.

"If I had a better way, my adoptive father Quixote would probably support me," N thought to himself.

This made N feel much better.

At least the world is much better than he imagined.

That's why N can sit here today, watching the trainers come and go.

"Cuckoo-"

DouDou Pigeon seemed to sense N's feelings and flapped its wings, happy for him.

He continued to observe the street.

In a gray and white world, the words "like" and "love" bring it to life.

"That fried pig really likes its trainer and is thinking about what to eat later, while that zebra looks angry but actually just wants comfort from its beloved trainer."

N felt increasingly relieved.

suddenly.

In the gray-white world where the colors gradually became more vibrant, N seemed to sense a dazzling rainbow of colors rushing into his field of vision without warning.

Ok?
N looked towards the street almost instinctively.

It was discovered that those vibrant colors actually came from a trainer and his Pokémon.

"Gengar, Ice Ninetales, Larvitar, Rotom," N murmured softly.

From the hearts of these Pokémon, besides hearing their dependence on and affection for their trainers, he also heard...
Gengar: I'd rather be a ghost than let you get away with this!
Ice Nine-Tailed Fox: At worst, we'll freeze it; technology will definitely advance.
Young Gilas: I'd give up food and water in exchange for his health and longevity!
Rotom: Gengar is right!
N: ? ? ?
N was a little confused.

This is nothing.

This was the first time N had heard such sentiments.

But that colorful bond cannot be faked.

N developed a strong curiosity about this person.

However, the other person's bicycle seemed to be very high-tech. Although it looked quite leisurely, it was actually quite fast and sped past in an instant, so I couldn't see who it was.

but
N decided to meet this person before returning to the castle!
