Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 52 Keep a Low Profile (It's the end of the month, please vote with your monthly tickets!)

"we lose."

A-Du accepted the result calmly.

He retrieved the unconscious fossil pterosaur and mentally reviewed the battle that had just taken place.

Every time he reviewed the situation, he got goosebumps.

No, let's review the battle against Daigo.

He still felt a chill run down his spine after that encounter with Jing He.

And make up your mind.

After he goes back this time, every single one of his Pokémon will have to learn "Taunt"!
Otherwise, it's impossible to play.

'As expected of someone admired by Elite Four member Genji, he can still employ such tactics even when using other people's Pokémon. This tactical skill probably surpasses that of most ordinary Gym Leaders.'

After all, this is an elf who commands others.

Without understanding the opponent's characteristics, and unaware of their moves and the extent to which they have mastered them.

It's much more difficult than commanding your own Pokémon.

Moreover.

Daigo's Skarmory is not weak, yet it is willing to obey Jinghe's commands, which is itself an affirmation of its abilities.

In Adu's view, it was Gastly that limited Jinghe's strength.

'However, Jinghe's Gastly is also exceptionally well-trained, and now with Elite Four member Akiko's "Fear Insights," its strength will undoubtedly improve rapidly.'

He was blessed by the Viridian Forest and possessed the "Power of Viridian," though he wasn't very proficient at it, he could still sense some of it.

Jinghe's future strength.
It's hard to say.

'At least at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings'

“It really is!” Daigo’s eyes shone with a strange light.

"fantastic!"

When Jinghe gave him advice before, he took it seriously, but because of his personal habits, he hadn't had time to try and learn it yet.

But today's match truly taught him a lesson.

It's as if it's saying—"See that, Steven? This is how Skarmory should fight."

This made him realize.

The opponent he was so desperately searching for was right beside him.

Why did Daigo want to take over Devon Corporation as soon as possible?

Was it simply because he was worried about his father's health?

Does he not like Pokémon?

No.

He certainly loves Pokémon, including Pokémon battles.

But when someone can become a standout among their peers with just a little effort, and can't even find a target to catch up with, they will inevitably lose interest in it.

He likes Pokémon, but he doesn't necessarily have to battle, right?
Comparatively speaking, taking over German, which he didn't know much about, was a more challenging task.

But today.

He met Adu.

They also witnessed Jinghe's tactical abilities.

He just found out.

It turns out there are some really talented people among my peers.

Wow, Teacher Jinghe is so amazing!
Teacher Jinghe not only has outstanding theoretical achievements, but has also published papers that even Professor Oak praised. She is also proficient in Pokémon psychology and can train excellent Gastly, possessing such tactical skills.
If Teacher Jinghe can develop in all aspects, why can't I?

Jinghe probably didn't expect that his "killing three birds with one stone" would actually succeed, but Daigo's goal went astray.

"Kou Jie~~"

Gastly's eyes sparkled.

Is this "Du Shou Ti"?

It now possesses "highly toxic" and "substitute," all it needs to do is "guard" it.

Right now, it only feels that once it masters the "Guard" technique, and under Jinghe's command, it will be—

Super strong!
Gastly is now incredibly confident!

Kicking the champion and defeating the king, it's not entirely impossible in the future.

Jiejiejie~~
"Well done, Skarmory."

Jing He smiled and reached out his hand to the armored bird.

"Ka~~"

The armored bird turned its head away shyly, its cheeks slightly flushed, and patted Jinghe's hand with its wing before turning and flying towards Daigo.

It was your excellent command.

"hiss--"

Jing He, who was slapped so hard that she stumbled, covered her reddened hand and gasped for breath.

Seeing the armored bird's shy expression, he finally realized what was going on.

Is it a girl?

"Jinghe, your command was superb; it showed me your ability."

A-Du walked over, his eyes no longer sharp as before, and extended his hand with a smile, saying, "I look forward to the day when we truly fight each other."

"Then you'll probably have to wait a while."

Jinghe had no choice but to gently shake hands with Adu with her reddened hands.

"But I feel that I don't need to wait too long."

A-Du glanced at Gastly beside him and sensed Gastly's eagerness and excitement.

"It longs for that moment when you amaze the world." Jing He pursed her lips.

The prerequisite is that I need to have a "stunning" Mane.

"Oh right, the fossil pterosaur."

It was only then that A-Du remembered the issue of the fossil pterosaur; before that, his mind was preoccupied with whether or not to defend it.

"It should be fine now. After being ravaged by the Skarmory... cough, stimulated like that, its goal will be quite clear. The fact that it didn't lose control until the very end is the best proof of that," Jing He said.

Adu nodded.

Makes sense.

"However, just to be on the safe side, I'll record a 'hypnotic meditation' audio for you. You can play it for the fossil pterosaur whenever you have a spare moment each day to reinforce its learning."

"Thank you."

"It should."

There's not much to say. Since we've taken on the case, we'll do our best to cure it. Fortunately, the pterosaur's condition wasn't particularly serious. Physical intervention combined with psychological reassurance was enough.

"besides."

Suddenly, Adu seemed to remember something. He rummaged through his clothes and finally pulled out a pendant shaped like a dragon claw.

"I didn't prepare anything, so consider this 'Sharp Fang' as a thank you gift."

【Sharp Fang: When a Pokémon holding this item uses any attack that would not normally cause the "Coward" status and deals damage, there is a certain chance that the target will be inflicted with the "Coward" status.】

This item is a perfect match for Gastly!

"I can't accept that, you've already prepared 'Insights into Fear'."

Jinghe skillfully took the "Sharp Fang".

“That was ‘treatment fee’ before, this is a ‘greeting gift’, they’re different.”

Seeing that Jinghe had accepted the gift, Adu didn't say anything more.

Daigo and Gastly also came over.

"Speaking of which, teacher, I also have to thank you for your teaching. This is one of the extra 'Protect' move learning machines I bought last time."

"Kou Jie!"

Before Jinghe could speak, Gastly snatched the TM that Daigo had taken out.

Hold on!

"You really don't need to do this."

He took the TM from Gastly.

"We're all friends, that's enough."

The three chatted for a while, exchanging their experiences in training and battling, before parting ways.

Above the seas outside the Hoenn region, Charizard flapped its wings, carrying Lance towards the Kanto region.

"King Yuanzhi, yes, he's healed. Jinghe is amazing, incredibly amazing!"

As soon as Adu hung up, another call came in. Seeing the caller ID, he smiled slightly.

"Little Chun".

"Yes, it's alright now. She's a Pokémon psychologist, but also a very skilled trainer with exceptional tactical abilities. It's a pity you didn't see it."

"Oh? I almost forgot about that. Although we weren't on a mission, the body camera was definitely still on. Well, it wasn't a mission, and it's not classified, so it's fine for you to take a look."

He removed a small camera that was clipped to the shoulder where it met his cape.

"I sent it to you."

"Kikuko-sensei is calling, I'll hang up now."

The Zvoich family's suburban estate.

"Armored Bird, let's solidify our tactics."

Daigo took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and looked excited and eager.

He didn't notice that not far away, Zivqi Hibiscus was watching this scene with a smile, accompanied by floating bubbles.

"How long has it been since I've seen Daigo this happy?"

After Jinghe's visit, Daigo regained his love for Pokémon, which made Zifuji Hibiscus very pleased with her decision a few days ago.

"Woo~~"

The floating bubbles swirled happily around him.

"Right? You also think that Teacher Jinghe should get a raise?"

"Woo~~"

"Oh, right, and I also registered Daigo for the competition."

"Kou Jie~~"

The "Super Brave" Gastly followed Jinghe into the residential area.

"Low-point."

Jinghe couldn't help but say:
Whether you're a human or a ghost, you must learn to be humble and not be misled by worldly things.

drip-

My phone rang, so I took it out and looked at it.

[Ibrahimovic eating cabbage]: Time for some quiet reflection.

【Jingzhongzhihe】: Coming right away!
"Kou Jie?"

Gastly blinked.

Worldly things?
