Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 519 A Frozen World? (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Unova region, Giant's Cave.

The intricate passageways were covered in frost, with branching paths everywhere.

Ordinary people would not even be able to get in; the temperature inside the Giant's Cave alone would be enough to keep most people from approaching, let alone going deep inside.

Even Jing He felt the cold and couldn't help but rub his arms.

Fortunately, the Azure Flame Blade Demon moved closer to him, holding a flaming blade, which dispelled the chill.

It's hard to imagine how Team Plasma could have caught Kyurem if it were still inside the cave.

If Kyurem knew how to "shrink," the entire Plasma Team would most likely turn into ice shards if they entered.

Jinghe had thought that the open space belonged to the Kyurem and could unleash its full power, but now it seems that the cave is the Kyurem's true territory.

Fortunately, the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox was able to discern and sense the distribution of cold air to determine Kyurem's residence; otherwise, these numerous side paths would have been a major problem.

There may be a lot of Ice-type Pokémon active outside, but they all disappear once inside the cave.

Even though Kyurem was captured, its lingering influence kept Ice-type Pokémon away.

Of course, geometric snowflakes are an exception.

They can be considered an extension of the Kyurem's power.

So when Jinghe and his group entered the cave, they still encountered some geometric snowflakes, but they didn't pose much of a threat.

at last.

When the view opened up again, the flames of the Azure Flame Blade Demon illuminated the cave.

"This is the real cave of giants."

Looking at the huge cave in front of her, covered with a thick layer of ice, and feeling the chill seeping into her body from all directions, Jing He couldn't help but sigh.

"Ow~"

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox's gaze swept across the area and immediately locked onto the thick layer of ice in one corner of the cave.

Even Jing He could clearly feel that the chill there was much stronger than the surrounding area.

This is what Kyurem truly left behind, and it's also the reason why the surrounding chill continues to spread.

cold.

Even though Jing He was used to being "frozen" by the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, he could still feel the coldness even before he got close.

A thick, tangible mist of cold air spread out.

"Genga?"

Gengar curiously reached out, wanting to poke it to see if it was mist or something else.

result.

Kaka-

As soon as its fingers approached, a layer of frost began to cover and spread rapidly from the fingers to the entire body.

next second.

Gengar was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Fortunately, the ice sculptures could not truly seal Gengar; they simply turned into black mist and drifted out, leaving behind lifelike, hollow ice sculptures.

"Genga?"

Gengar's cunning eyes lit up as it looked at its crystal-like ice sculpture.

It was truly cold. Even though it was a ghost and had long been accustomed to the chill, it still felt the cold.

But it's really fun.
"Yo-yo!"

Seeing this, Young Gilas tried to imitate it and was about to run over to see if he could make an ice sculpture for himself, but Jing He stopped him.

"You shouldn't go there!"

Don't you realize you're twice as weak as ice?

Azure Flame Blade Demon gestured and unleashed a dark blue flame, like a sword beam, which froze upon approaching the white frost and mist.

"Yo-yo."

Young Kiras shrank back.

Good heavens, it can even freeze flames!
The little thing immediately suppressed its burgeoning desire.

"Go, Nine-Tailed Fox."

Noticing the longing in Ice Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes, Jing He raised her chin and said.

"Ow~"

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox didn't hesitate either. After letting out a long cry, it lightly leaped into the white mist and headed towards the ice block left by Kyurem.

With the arrival of the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, the white mist that was about to spread stopped its outward expansion.

Immediately afterwards, like swallows returning to their nests, they converged on the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, as if they had found a new "master".

Jinghe then led the little ones to explore the cave.

As long as you stay away from the white mist and the ice left by Kyurem, although it's cold, it doesn't pose much of a threat.

"Yo-yo!"

Young Gilas clenched his little fist and slammed it hard against the ice wall beside him.

boom! !

One punch down.

The ice wall remained completely still, with only a few ice shards falling off.

Seeing this, the little guy suddenly became a bit skeptical and threw two more punches, but there was still not much change, only a few white marks were left.

"Yo-yo."

Young Kylas scratched his head.

"just!"

The great blacksmith walked over carrying a hammer, gestured for Young Gilas to take two steps back, and then placed the hammer behind him and smashed it on the ground.

It's the real expert at breaking ice.

next second.

It gripped the end of the hammer handle with both hands, gritted its teeth and exerted force, its two ponytails flew up, and the hammer swung in a wide arc, smashing into the ice wall.

Boom! !

With a tremendous force and a dull thud, cracks appeared on the ice wall as if tearing silk.

"Yo-yo!"

it works!

Young Kylas jumped up and cried out.

Hammer Girl, one more hammer blow, one more hammer blow!
"Cha~!"

The master blacksmith, of course, wouldn't stop. He immediately jumped up, swung his hammer in a full circle, and smashed it into the ice wall again.

boom! !

Countless ice crystals shattered, and ice blocks broke into pieces. Young Gilas raised its head and jumped up, immediately biting into a piece of ice that had been shattered.

Click——click——

Hmm, it tastes pretty good.

Good grief, after all that fuss, all you wanted was some ice?

Seeing this, Jinghe inwardly grumbled.

Ok?
but.

After the ice broke off, Jinghe stepped forward and saw the dark rock wall, which was pitted and even faintly reflected a metallic luster.

"This is."

Meteorite crater!
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, in the same year that the Shaka family obtained the Gene Wedge, a meteorite fell from space and crashed near Kagome Town, forming the Giant's Cave.

However, this legend is not recorded, and no one can confirm its authenticity, because since the Giant's Cave was formed, it has been shrouded in cold air all year round, and all companies and teams that attempted to excavate and explore it have put their projects on hold.

It now appears that the legend was true.

Legend has it that Kyurem is actually the embodiment of a meteorite.

However, Shaka once said that Kyurem is actually the shell of Zekrom and Reshiram after their split, and that it is a shell that has given birth to self-awareness.

As far as Jinghe knew, Shaka was right, and the Gene Wedge was the key to allowing Kyurem to fuse with Zekrom and Reshiram again.

In the movie, when Keldeo encountered Kyurem, it already possessed the ability to transform and fuse Zekrom and Reshiram on its own, which is why it was called "the strongest dragon on Earth".

However, Jinghe had previously inquired with Keldeo and the three Holy Swordsmen, and Kyurem had not demonstrated such an ability.

"Yo-yo!!"

Upon seeing this, Young Gilas immediately spat out the ice shards in his mouth and then pounced.
It's stuck to the rock face.

"Yo-yo! Yo-yo!"

It bit into a protrusion on the rock wall, its whole body swinging up and down, trying to bite off a piece, but it didn't seem to be that easy.

Jing He: "."

The only thing that could make Young Gilas "lose control" is probably when he sees rare ores.

The master blacksmith's gaze was equally intense.

The crater walls are rich in rare metal elements, which are also what it is attracted to.

Looking at their expressions, Jinghe gently rubbed her forehead.

That's how it is.
It makes sense that Nine-Tails absorbed Kyurem's remaining ice-type energy to stop the spread of cold.

Young Gilas and the Great Blacksmith were to destroy all these rock walls.
"I wonder how Kyurem will react when he comes back and finds his house has been 'stolen'."

Kyurem: I just went out to take a nap, and when I came back, my house was gone?
"Never mind, anyway, Nine-Tails needs time, and Young Gilas and the Great Blacksmith can't possibly destroy the entire cave." Once the Ice Nine-Tails has absorbed everything, it can restore the ice walls.

Anyway, given the temperature here, even if Kyurem doesn't return for years or even decades, the ice won't melt.

Ever since.

Young Gilas and the Great Blacksmith began to "hurl" at the rock wall, and the Azure Flame Blade Demon went to help at their invitation.

time flies.

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox's absorption rate is getting faster and faster.

The huge block of ice disappeared, the temperature inside the cave warmed up slightly, and more importantly, the cold air spreading from the "Giant's Cave" stopped.

The residents of Kagome Town only felt a slight drop in temperature, thinking it was just a return of spring chill, and not many people paid much attention.

The main reason is that the wild Pokémon living outside Kagome Town, near Giant's Cave, returned to their habitat after the cold air subsided.

Looking at the pitted and uneven cave, which looked as if something had gnawed at it, Jing He's lips twitched slightly.

They somewhat underestimated Young Gilas's appetite and the Great Blacksmith's abilities.

Fortunately, the Ice Nine-Tails has already completed its absorption.

The chill inside the cave had dissipated by more than half.

"Ouch~~"

When the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox came to Jing He again, it showed almost no change.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the already snow-white fur on the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox seems to have become even more crystalline and translucent, just like real ice crystals, with each hair clearly visible.

But what attracted Jinghe's attention the most was what the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox was carrying in its mouth.

It was about the size of two palms, mostly snow-white with a small portion grayish-black, and its texture was somewhat like rock.
"Scales?"

Jing He took the two scales from the mouth of the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.

I immediately felt a bone-chilling cold, and my fingertips instantly went numb.

hiss--

He immediately used waveguide power to isolate himself, and only then did he feel much better.

"These are... Kyurem scales?"

Moreover, these don't seem to be ordinary scales; they appear to be the dragon's reverse scales.

No wonder Kyurem disappeared; the chill here continues to spread.

It's because of those two scales that Kyurem shed.

"Ow~"

Ice Nine-Tail nodded; it thought so too.

Two scales
After a moment's thought, Jing He gave one of the pieces to Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, saying, "Keep this one."

Although it's a bit incongruous for an Ice-type and Fairy-type Ninetales to carry dragon scales, the Ice-type power of Kyurem on the scales is still very beneficial to Ninetales.

"Ouch~~"

The Nine-Tails naturally wouldn't refuse.

"The rest of this piece"

Jing He's gaze swept over them.

It locked onto the Dragonite that had taken a half-step back, a sheepish grin on its face.

He couldn't help but smile slightly, "Dragonite, it's yours."

"woo"

Dragonite naturally likes the dragon scales of legendary Pokémon, but Kyurem is an ice dragon.
As a Dragonite of the Dragon and Flying types, it's four times weak to Ice. Carrying such a dragon scale, it's bound to freeze to death.

"I believe you." Jinghe handed the scale to Dragonite.

"woo"

After hearing Jinghe say that, Kuailong reluctantly accepted the offer.

"...fat."

Dragonite: "."

Dragonite, which is four times weak to Ice, will end up like Lance if its resistance to Ice is not improved, getting completely dominated by Ice-type Lorelei.

The title of "Flying Elite Four King" wasn't given lightly.

This is the experience given by Young Kylas.

After all, Younggiras is four times weaker than grass, and now he uses the branches of the Tree of Beginning to pick his teeth and chew on them every day, doesn't he?

Dragonite's 4x weakness to Ice can compensate for its resistance to Ice-type attacks.

You can just use Kyurem scales as a "hand warmer" every day.

"You don't want to lose to the Ice Dragon in the future, do you?"

To be honest, the combination of Ice and Dragon types is quite unfair to other Dragon-type Pokémon.

It's only slightly better than the "Dragon Traitor" Super Qixi Bluebird.

Kyurem isn't the only Pokémon with the Ice and Dragon types; the pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Padina region, Styrax, also has this type.

"Woo!!"

Upon hearing this, Dragonite immediately stopped resisting and nodded emphatically.

It was a very competitive creature, and it took comparisons with other dragons quite seriously.

It was quite funny to see Kyurem baring its teeth as it put away its scales.

"Nine-Tails, could you help restore this cave?"

Looking at the messy cave, Jinghe's eye twitched involuntarily.

"Young Gilas, Great Blacksmith, that's about it!"

"Hiccup~~"

Young Gilas burped, patted his belly, glanced longingly at the broken rock wall, and nodded.

"just!"

The master blacksmith wiped the sweat from his brow, touched his hammer, and showed a satisfied expression.

It felt that the next time it used the ice hammer, the power would be higher.

Once they stopped, the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox opened its mouth slightly, and a chill emanated from its body.

The damaged rock face was immediately covered with thick ice crystals.

Ok?
Jing He looked at Ice Nine-Tailed Fox with some surprise.

The speed at which ice crystals condense, and the power of ice-type moves.
"A frozen world?"

He had never seen Kyurem cast "Frozen World," but he had this bold guess.

After all, the power of Nine-Tails' ice-type moves has been greatly enhanced.

However, the move list for Ninetales in the Pokédex remains unchanged.

ka ka ka-

Ice crystals cover the damaged rock face.

It was as if the whole world had returned to the frigid world covered by ice.

The Nine-Tailed Fox definitely benefited a lot this time.

In no time at all, the cave was restored to its original state.

"Ouch~~"

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox called out softly to Jing He, as if it were merely releasing a negligible beam of freezing light.

The cold air here also makes it much easier for it to use ice-type moves.

"Perhaps I can ask Kyurem for advice sometime in the future."

Of course, this is all predicated on Kyurem being able to return first, and on having a friendly exchange opportunity.

"Let's go back."

Having stopped the cold from spreading further, Young Gilas had a hearty meal, and the Great Blacksmith also acquired a considerable amount of metal, making the trip worthwhile.

Now Jinghe also needs to tell Alder that Kyurem has disappeared and Team Plasma might take further action.

Make him ready.

Also.

The problems of the Genosects also need to be solved.

Once they break free from the control of Plasma Team Akroma, they should begin searching for a home.

However, it would be almost impossible for Pokémon from 300 million years ago to find their former home, so we must guard against them building their own homes, which could lead to widespread destruction.

"Why do I feel like I'm about to become their babysitter after coming here to help the Genesects?"

Jinghe thought to herself, "This is what I'm complaining about."

We navigated through the intricate caves.

After realizing his mistake, Keldeo, along with the three Holy Swordsmen who had recovered somewhat, were waiting for them at the cave entrance.

The Swordsmen expressed their sincere gratitude to Jinghe and his Pokémon.

And expressed.

They are willing to provide assistance whenever Jinghe needs them.

Simultaneously.

They can also teach Jinghe's Pokémon "sword skills".
