Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 504 Shaka and Alice (Seeking monthly votes!)
Unova region, Shuanglong City.

Shuanglong Dojo is very impressive; the entire dojo exudes a magnificent aura.

Above the dojo, on the left and right, are the heads of two giant dragons.

Perhaps due to their long history, or perhaps due to the skill of the sculptor, the heads of these two dragons look quite similar.

In fact, most people who come to Shuanglong Dojo will subconsciously assume they are the same when they see them.

However, if you observe them yourself, you will find that they are actually different.

In particular, when Jing He saw them, he recognized the two dragons after only a few glances. They were actually the two dragons from the legends of the Unova region.

The True Dragon, Rashiram!
The ideal dragon, Zekrom!
This is also related to the ancient "founding legend" of the Unova region.

When Jinghe and the others arrived at Shuanglong Dojo, Adek was asleep again, leaning against the back of his chair, holding Hayok, snoring evenly.

Jinghe was about to wake him up, but Miss Officer Jenny stopped her, indicating that Adek should rest.

I can tell.

Although Officer Jenny disliked Alder's somewhat greasy flirting, she still genuinely respected the Unova Champion.

Otherwise, when Ms. Jenny was stopped by Adek, she could have simply ignored her and driven away.

“Mr. Adek…” Miss Officer Jenny said with a hint of regret after the two got out of the car.

"I know."

Jing He nodded, glanced at Adek who was still fast asleep, and showed a hint of admiration on her face.

“I’ve heard about Mr. Adek.”

Losing your most important partner, who may have been with you for most of your life, is an absolutely devastating blow.

But Aldek only became more lax; he never forgot his responsibility as a champion, and even though he didn't want to continue, he still persisted.

He has been searching for a successor he approves of to ensure that the Unova region does not descend into chaos after his retirement.

This sense of responsibility, while not as strong as Daigo's during his 22-day battle, is still worthy of respect.

"Teacher Jinghe, are you really not going to consider Mr. Adek's suggestion?"

Seeing that Jinghe agreed with Adek, Miss Officer Jenny asked again, her eyes filled with anticipation.

The J.A. clan's recognition of Jing He is not solely because Jing He provided them with tactics, nor solely because Jing He, as an international police inspector, is actually within the J.A. clan's system.

The main reason is Jinghe's help to Pokémon.

Whether it's providing psychological therapy for Rampaging Pokémon or helping trainers and Pokémon seeking help online, his friendly attitude towards Pokémon is evident.

This sentiment deserves recognition and respect.

Of course, strength and the things Jinghe has done are also key reasons.

This time, Jing He did not avoid the topic, but after a brief pause, she said:

I wasn't ready.

On the one hand, his abilities are not yet sufficient to shoulder this responsibility.

On the other hand, he was not psychologically prepared for this.

Of course, Adek's invitation was more of a joke, after all, there has never been a regional champion who wasn't a local.

Therefore, Jinghe brushed it off from the start.

He only gave his answer when Miss Officer Jenny asked again.

Let alone the Unova region.

Even the Elite Four from the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions, he really wanted to say that he wasn't ready yet.

In Jinghe's own view.

How can a "lazy" person who only wants to live a happy and peaceful life with their own Pokémon and help some Pokémon within their ability shoulder such a heavy responsibility?
Ideals are beautiful, but reality often contradicts them.

"Let's go visit Mr. Shaka first."

Jing He took a slight breath, smiled, and walked towards the dojo.

Miss Officer Jenny pursed her lips and turned to look in the direction of the car.

At this moment, Adek opened one eye, raised his eyebrows at Officer Jenny like a mischievous old man, and gestured with his lips, indicating that she should follow.

Go for it! Use your feminine wiles!

Miss Officer Jenny rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"I'm going back right now! Humph!"

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the dojo, I saw a girl with long, fluffy purple hair and wearing a yellow dress rushing out of the dojo in a huff, her eyes glistening with tears.

boom! !

Perhaps because she was running too fast, the girl, with her head down, rushed directly into Jing He's arms, and then...
Jinghe staggered two steps, while the girl fell to the ground.

hiss--

Jing He took a slight breath and gently rubbed her abdomen a couple of times; that headbutt really hurt a bit.

However, he immediately went to help the girl who had fallen to the ground.

"Is everything okay?"

As soon as she helped the other person up, Jing He was slightly taken aback when she saw what the other person looked like.

Isn't this Alice?
Iris is the female protagonist who travels with Ash in the anime "Best Wish" and whose goal is to become a Dragon-type Pokémon Master!

However, Alice still looks like a tiny little thing right now.

But then Jinghe immediately understood why the impact had hurt so much.

As we all know, among all the female protagonists who partnered with Ash, Iris's physical abilities are definitely among the best. Living in the Dragon Village, she is less a different child and more a super Dragon Village person!

"I'm fine."

Alice stood up with her head down, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed for bumping into Jing He.

She looked up at Jing He and suddenly realized that this older brother was so handsome, and he looked kind of familiar.

blah blah-

At this time.

The steady sound of leather shoes approached slowly and steadily, growing louder as they drew nearer.

Upon hearing the sound, Alice's expression changed, and she turned to run away, but then she saw Officer Jenny behind Jing He and hurriedly stammered:

“Miss Junsa, I... I didn’t do anything wrong this time.”

Upon seeing Alice, Officer Jenny clearly recognized her as well, and smiled as she said:
"It's Alice."

She bent down and touched Alice's head, as if they were very familiar.

This is related to a "big thing" that Alice did some time ago.

Alice comes from Dragon Village. On the advice of Granny from Dragon Village and Shaka, she came to Twin Dragon City and entered Twin Dragon School run by Shaka.

However, Alice had grown up in the vast natural environment of Dragon Village, and coming to the city school to attend classes and study in an orderly manner was not what she wanted, and it was difficult for her to calm down.

In addition, most students at the school were busy with their studies, so Alice couldn't make any friends and began to miss the Dragon Country due to her loneliness.

So Alice climbed the tallest radio tower in Twin Dragons City, hoping to see Dragon Village from such a height, but this caused quite a commotion and alerted Officer Jenny.

Alice became a notorious "problem" student at the academy.

at the same time.

The footsteps finally drew near.

Appearing before Jing He and the others was a burly old man, dressed in trousers, a white shirt, and black gloves, with white hair and a white beard, who looked meticulous.

It is Shaka, the gym leader of the Twin Dragons Gym and also the principal of Twin Dragons Academy!

Shaka's expression was serious, and his eyes were sharp.

Sensing his gaze, Alice almost instinctively hid behind Jing He, peeking her head out slightly from his waist.

"Genga?"

In Jinghe's shadow, Gengar also peeked out slightly and scratched its head.

Is this little girl taking up her spot?

Gengar curiously peeked out from the other side of Jinghe, echoing Iris's every move.

"Mr. Shaka." Upon seeing Shaka, Jing He bowed slightly and greeted him.

Xia Ka had noticed Jing He earlier, and her expression softened slightly. "You're Teacher Jing He?"

"it's me."

"You told me you were coming, I didn't expect it to be today."

While Xia Ka and Jing He exchanged pleasantries.

Teacher Jinghe?

Alice, who was hiding behind Jing He, blinked.

As a student at Shuanglong College, although I don't usually interact much with my classmates, I often hear the words "Teacher Jinghe" from them.

He is said to be the "strongest" teacher and is very popular and respected by his students.

Many people even hoped that Ms. Jinghe could come to their school and give them a lesson.

Is this Teacher Jinghe? She looks so young, Alice thought to herself.

She turned her head and saw it.
"Genga~~"

Gengar, with a mischievous grin and its tongue sticking out, cheerfully waved and greeted her.

Iris turned deathly pale upon sensing the chill emanating from Gengar.

"Ghost!!"

Then he staggered away from Jinghe and ran behind Xia Ka.

Alice is fearless, except for Ice-type Pokémon; she's afraid of the cold.
This might also be related to the fact that Dragon-type Pokémon are weak against Ice-type Pokémon. To be honest.

Looking at her like this, Jinghe found it hard to imagine that she would be the one to replace Alder as the Unova Regional Champion and be nominally on par with Cynthia and Karuno, the two female champions.

While Xia Ka was talking with Jing He, the group entered the dojo under Xia Ka's guidance.

"Go and rest first," Shaka said, glancing at Alice without changing his tone.

"Oh"

Alice shrank her neck, stuck out her tongue, and obediently ran away, completely forgetting what she had said when she ran out, "I'm going back now."

Seeing this, Miss Officer Jenny thought for a moment and then followed. She felt that Jinghe and Xia Ka might have something important to talk about, so she wisely avoided them.

“Mr. Shaka, this is what the principal asked me to give you.”

Jinghe pried open Gengar's mouth and took out the package.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Shaka didn't shy away from revealing the package, which contained a specially made box.

Inside the box was something shaped like a triangular pyramid but with layers of different levels.

Upon seeing this, Jinghe's pupils contracted slightly.

The Gene Wedge!

The thing the former headmaster asked me to deliver was actually a genetic wedge?!
What is the gene wedge?

It was kept by Shaka, an ancient artifact belonging to the Unova region, and few people know its purpose now.

But Jinghe knew.

Gene Wedge is an item that allows the legendary Pokémon Zekrom, Reshiram, and Kyurem to fuse or undergo contact fusion!

It's actually quite understandable.

It refers to "fusion" and "fusion release".

In the original story, Team Plasma froze the entire Twin Dragons City in order to steal this thing from Shaka and facilitate the fusion of Zekrom and Kyurem.

The plasma team's chief scientist, Akromar, wanted to use this to complete his "Akromar Machine".

However, during the timeline of "Sun and Moon," Acromuma, through his talent and scientific prowess, managed to develop the Necrozma Fusion Device, which allowed Necrozma and Solgaleo to fuse together, truly making him a genius in the scientific world.

Jing He just hadn't expected it.

How could something so important have been in the hands of our own former headmaster not long ago?
Does the former principal have that much influence?

"Professor Jinghe knows about the 'Gene Wedge'?" Xia Ka asked, noticing the change in Jinghe's expression.

“I’ve heard Cynthia mention it before,” Jing He explained.

Cynthia spent some time in Unova searching for Mr. Shaka, wasn't it for this very thing?

Upon hearing this, Shaka looked enlightened but didn't think much of it.

Because Cynthia did indeed come to study it for a period of time.

Unfortunately.

Without the presence of Zekrom, Lexiram, or Kyurem, this research would have remained merely superficial.

Shaka didn't say much, but carefully put away the Gene Wedge.

After all, even if you ask him to talk, he can't really say much.

“Since you’re here, would Teacher Jinghe be interested in giving a lesson to the students of Shuanglong Academy?” Xia Ka suddenly asked.

Ok?
This suggestion surprised Jing He.

"As a teacher, Ms. Jinghe, what do you think of that girl just now?" Xia Ka asked again, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

Is it Alice, the girl?
“A bit reckless.” After a moment’s thought, Jing He put aside her impression of Alice from the animation and added, “But she’s not a bad person.”

Shaka nodded.

Shaka then briefly recounted some things about Alice, including her experiences and why she came here.

Jinghe asked:

"Mr. Shaka seems to want her to leave school?"

This can be seen from the fact that Shaka chased after her at a leisurely pace just now.

If he really wanted to keep Alice, he wouldn't have been so composed, and if he hadn't happened to bump into Jing He, Alice might have already run away.

“The academy is not suitable for her; it will hinder her development,” Xia Ka sighed softly.

He was the one who brought Alice with him, so of course he didn't want her to leave like this.

But through his observation, he discovered that, given Alice's personality, having her study in the academy in a routine manner would stifle her creativity and make her more mediocre.

This is actually the difference between the academic approach and the travel-oriented approach.

The academic approach emphasizes gaining a deeper understanding of Pokémon and then using that knowledge to build a tactical advantage.

The traveler group, on the other hand, places more emphasis on the bond between themselves and their Pokémon, using the power of that bond to break conventions.

Alice is clearly better suited to Big Leaf's style of play.

“Mr. Shaka, don’t you think that letting a child leave in this way will leave her with some trauma?” Jinghe looked at Shaka.

For example:
I couldn't learn well, so I was kicked out.

I'm not suited for studying; I'm the one who gets abandoned.

Negative emotions such as these.

As it turned out, Iris did indeed carry these emotions with her, and when she returned to Odd-Dragon City with Ash, these emotions erupted.

“But this will also become her motivation.” Shaka had her own ideas.

Defeating a teacher who once looked down on you and proving your own abilities—what a cliché protagonist comeback story!

Jinghe inwardly grumbled.

"But she's still just a child. Being able to withstand it doesn't necessarily mean she can do her best. But what if she can't withstand such a blow?"

Upon hearing this, Shaka fell silent.

After a while, he slowly said, "Alice can do it."

Ultimately, he did this because he valued Alice enough and cared about her enough.

This can be seen as a sign of trust in Alice.

But in Jinghe's view...

Since you believe she has more talent and ability to showcase her abilities in travel, then tell her directly, encourage her, acknowledge her, and support her.

Is it possible that doing things with confidence is less effective than doing things with a "revenge" mentality?
They didn't even give Alice a chance to choose for herself.

Jinghe, on the other hand, prefers to think about problems from other people's perspectives.

For example, when he trains Pokémon.

Training is usually based on the Pokémon's own characteristics, personality, and preferences.

Instead of rigidly following a set pattern, indicating that you must train this way, fight this way, etc.

Gengar is clearly a Special Attacker Pokémon, but it likes to fight, and Jinghe will also explore its abilities in this area.

It may not be the best.

Gengar likes it.

It looks like that.

In fact, Jinghe and Xia Ka have different philosophies on this matter.

That does fit the "characteristics" of Shuanglong City.

However, Xia Ka was not old-fashioned; he felt that Jing He's words also made sense.

"Should we teach the children a lesson?" Shaka asked the question again.

This is not a matter of "if you're so good, then you do it."

Rather, they wanted to use this method to examine or even verify the real-world differences arising from their differing ideologies.

At first, Jinghe was somewhat reluctant, but now...
Jing He adjusted his monocle and replied, "Okay."

As for how to verify it...
it's actually really easy.

The two of them will just have a match.

Educating students is actually quite similar to training Pokémon.

You can feel the difference from training and battling Pokémon.

Simultaneously.

Since it's a Pokémon Academy, there's nothing more direct for students to experience it than watching a battle.

This was something the two of them tacitly understood.

"Eh?"

Adek woke up in the car and blinked.

Is Jinghe going to fight Xia Ka?

This immediately piqued his interest.

"Let's go, let's go take a look!" Adek hurriedly got up, leaving Officer Jenny looking helpless.

but.

Miss Officer Jenny was also quite interested.

after all.

Mr. Shaka's strength is definitely not that of an ordinary gym leader.
