Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 536 Meloetta and Ripple Town (Seeking monthly votes!)
Sunday, April 27th, sunny.

"Teacher Jinghe, please challenge me to a match!"

Lian Wu assumed a fighter's stance, stood in the garden, and solemnly challenged Jing He to a duel.

As a student of Aldeck and a fighter, Lian Wu actually wanted to fight Jing He during the Shuanglong City incident.

The timing wasn't right at the time, and there were many things to deal with afterwards, so it's been delayed until now.

Lian Wu naturally recognized Jing He's strength, especially his ability to withstand "Kyurem Freeze Cannon" from Mewtwo.

But if you back down from a fight just because of a difference in strength, then you're not a trainer.

Trainers must be brave enough to constantly challenge stronger opponents and continuously improve and grow in battles.

While the final outcome is important, the most crucial element is the process of the battle.

"Lian Wu, I think we can save this match for the 'Young Masters World Championship,' what do you think?"

Jing He had long been aware of Lian Wu's desire to challenge him, so he had already devised a countermeasure.

With the "Young Masters World Championship" just days away, there's no need for the two to face off now; they might have another match during the major tournament.

At this point, regardless of winning or losing, it will inevitably have some impact on their participation in the competition.

Upon hearing this, Lian Wu pondered briefly before nodding, agreeing that Jing He's words made sense.

As for saying.

Will the two not meet in the major competition?
Lian Wu was confident in his own abilities and in Jing He's abilities; he believed that as long as he kept winning, they would eventually meet again.

Ever since.

After making this decision, Lianwu no longer stayed in Shuanglong City, but prepared to walk to Feiyun City as his final training for himself and his Pokémon.

This was a minor incident during Jinghe's stay in Shuanglong City.

At this time, he was more or less preparing for the "Young Masters World Championship".

It's not just him.

The same applies to Cynthia and Gadria.

and.

Steven from Hoenn, Daenerys, Soryu, and Aru from Sinnoh, and Lance, Lorelei, and others from Kanto also arrived in the Unova region one after another.

Of course, not all of them went to Shuanglong City; they each had their own things to do. They just agreed to meet in Feiyun City in the end.

After the United Alliance launched another large-scale manhunt and crackdown on Team Plasma, and temporarily confirmed that Team Plasma would not resurface, they finally began to focus on preparations for the "World Championship".

The residents of the Unova region are extremely enthusiastic about this World Championship.

Especially after learning that Jinghe would also be participating.

As the hero who saved Odd Dragon City, Jinghe's display of strength against Team Plasma protected countless residents and Pokémon in Odd Dragon City, earning him a large number of supporters overnight.

Of course, it's not just the Unova region; to be precise, most regions of the entire Pokémon world are paying a lot of attention to this World Championship.

Characters like Lance from Kanto and Cynthia from Sinnoh also have a large number of supporters.

Jinghe and the others said goodbye to Xia Ka and prepared to head to Lianyi Town.

This is the seaside town where Cynthia and Gatria often relax together during their holidays, where they conduct their so-called final training camp for the World Championships.

As for the method of getting there...
Between flying and taking the train, Jinghe and his friends ultimately chose to drive themselves.

One reason is that the road from Shuanglong City to Lianyi Town is actually very smooth, and another reason is to enjoy the scenery along the way.

To be honest, since arriving in the Unova region, Jinghe has been either on the move or busy dealing with matters, and hasn't really had a chance to properly appreciate the scenery of the Unova region.

Upon learning of this, Shaka generously provided them with an off-road jeep.

that's it.

Rotom drove Jinghe, Cynthia, and Gadria to the seaside town of Ripple.

“Rotom, don’t drive too fast. Our goal is to enjoy the scenery along the way,” Jing He emphasized.

"Understood, Loto!"

Rotom's voice came from the car's motor.

"As a psychologist, he's afraid of speed and heights, tsk tsk."

Sitting in the back seat, Gadriya still couldn't resist teasing Jinghe, while Cynthia beside her just smiled and smiled.

Those who know Jinghe well are more or less aware of what he is "afraid" of.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jing He pursed her lips, rested her chin on one hand, and while glancing at the scenery along the way, seemingly unintentionally muttered to herself:

"Mewtwo has been gone for so long, I'll have it come to Ripple Town to find me next time."

Upon hearing the word "Mewtwo," Gadria's expression immediately hardened and turned serious.

The fearless Gadria is afraid of Mewtwo, which is a clear indication that Jinghe has found a weakness in her.

We'll teach this girl a lesson!
I'm just that petty and narrow-minded.

Gengar sat in the driver's seat, gripping the steering wheel with a grin on his face.

Since Rotom was driving the car, the steering wheel was more of a decoration, but it allowed him to pretend to be driving for a while.

"Genga~~"

The weather is so nice today, I'm really happy!
In a good mood, Gengar couldn't help but hum a little tune.

Although it sounds a bit... cough cough, it's better than letting it drive recklessly.

"Let's talk."

Jinghe suddenly said to Gengar, "Gengar, have we forgotten something?"

"Genga?"

Gengar scratched its head.

Eh?
Have it?

In the ravaged world, Giratina gazed at the plasma destroyer reduced to ruins, examining it from all angles.

What kind of gift is this?
"Genga~~"

Gengar waved its hand, not wanting to think about those complicated things; all it wanted to do now was sing a song.

"Giggle~~Giggle~~Giggle~~"

Jinghe silently took out a pair of earplugs, preparing to put them in her ears.

On the contrary, Cynthia and Gadria didn't seem to care much about Gengar's "wailing" singing, and chatted and laughed in the back seat.

The car drove smoothly on the road, accompanied by Gengar's song.

"Melo~~"

In the forest between Kagome Town and Ripple Town, a melodious tune, like a spring breeze and the morning sun, made the wild Pokémon in the forest stop and listen, slowly immersing themselves in the song.

A Pokémon, invisible, moved nimbly through the forest.

It sometimes reveals itself, and sometimes hides.

She had long, wavy, emerald-green hair, a emerald-green gem in the center of her headband, and a black hair accessory that looked like a microphone.

"Mello?"

The little guy was very happy when it reached the edge of a cliff. It was a rare opportunity for it to come out, and everyone loved its singing.

On the edge of the cliff, it heard a "crunching" melody coming from the road below.

Although it can't be described as pleasant to listen to, you can feel the joyful mood in the melody.

There’s no technique, it’s all emotion.

"Melo~~"

Having finally encountered a fellow enthusiast of singing, the little guy revealed himself, sticking his head out to look down at the road in the distance below the cliff.

"Gah?"

At this time.

A vulture named Na, who was flying overhead, noticed the long, wavy, green hair that looked like a green caterpillar and her eyes lit up.

Its narrow eyes darted around, then it quickly concealed itself, flapped its wings, and swooped down towards the "green caterpillar."

"Melo!!"

The little guy was caught off guard by the sudden attack and had no time to react.

Moreover, it's not exactly a Pokémon good at battling, and in its panic, it tried to dodge.

Vulturena realized that the other party was not the "caterpillar" she had expected, and immediately felt that she had been "deceived". With her bad temper, she did not hesitate at all and pecked at the little guy.

"Melo!!"

The little guy was in pain and, unable to dodge in time, lost his footing and fell off the cliff with a scream.

Seeing this, the vulture Na did not give up. She immediately folded her wings and chased after it downwards.

At this time.

From the jeep that was slowly approaching from a distance, Gengar, who was humming a song, noticed the commotion and quickly licked Jinghe.

Jinghe took off her earplugs, took out a cherry, took a bite, and asked somewhat irritably:
"what happened?"

"哓GA!"

Gengar pointed to a cliff not far away, where a Pokémon seemed to have fallen from the cliff after being attacked by Vulpix, and Vulpix was still chasing after it.

Jing He's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said:
"Gengar!"

"哓GA!"

Gengar immediately understood, reached out and pulled down from top to bottom in front of it, opening a crack and crawling inside.

When it reappeared, it was already in mid-air, next to Vulturena.

Clutching a bolt of electricity crackling with blue light, he grinned and greeted Bald Eagle Na before unleashing a powerful punch.

Bang! Bald Eagle Na had never seen anything like this before.

Suddenly a Gengar appeared and used Thunder Punch to hit it on the head, giving it a shock that left it completely disoriented.

They immediately stopped attacking and flapped their wings to escape quickly.

The jeep stopped at the foot of the cliff.

Then, a Pokémon staggered out of the bushes and finally fell onto the road.

“Melo.”

Cynthia and Gadriya, who also noticed the commotion, ran out of the car with Jinghe.

Jinghe was clearly taken aback when he saw the Pokémon.

“Meloeta?” Cynthia was somewhat surprised.

Meloetta, the legendary mythical Pokémon of the Unova region!

Jing He's lips twitched.

Okay, okay, you can run into Meloetta just by driving, huh?

“It’s injured,” Cattleya said.

"Genga?"

Gengar also floated back.

Despite her inner complaints, Jinghe immediately picked up Meloetta.

"Melo Melo"

Meloeta's light green eyes were half-open. She glanced at Jing He weakly for a couple of seconds before closing them in pain.

The little one's body was very light and soft, with rosy cheeks, a somewhat deep voice, and an unusually high body temperature.

Gengar consciously took out a soft cushion from its dimensional space and laid it on the ground.

Jinghe acted quickly, taking out a bottle of treatment spray and treating Meloetta's wounds.

"It seems to have a fever?" Cynthia noticed Meloetta's condition.

"Mm," Jinghe nodded.

I recalled the original BW storyline.

Meloetta was attacked by the trio, but after escaping, she was encountered by Ash and his friends. Meloetta also had a fever at the time.

"Probably because of the shock."

Just like a child, if they are excessively frightened, they may develop a fever.

Meloetta is a Mythical Pokémon, but its physique is far inferior to Darkrai's, and even compared to Shaymin, it's not even close.

It definitely belongs to the "fragile" category among mythical Pokémon.

"Yo-yo~~"

Young Kiras, holding a wet towel, trotted over to Jing He's side, looked at Meloetta, and blushed.

"Yo-yo.(〃￣ω￣〃)"

So cute duck
After treating Meloetta's wounds, Jinghe placed one hand on the wound and gently massaged it with her aura, while throwing a Poké Ball with her other hand.

"Nine-Tailed Fox, bring some crushed ice."

"Ouch~~"

The Nine-Tailed Fox exhaled a breath and created ice shards. Cynthia wrapped the ice shards in a cloth bag and placed them on Meloetta's forehead.

After this series of actions, Meloeta's furrowed brows immediately relaxed a lot.

In particular, Meloetta, who received a gentle waveguide massage, even hummed softly with her eyes closed.

"Geng Gui, prepare some Vitality Roots," Jing He instructed again.

"Genga~~"

This Gengar is quite skilled at it.

With a single word, a table appeared, followed by various teapots, tea sets, and energy roots.
Cattleya was stunned.

"You... bring a whole tea set with you when you go out?"

"Genga!!"

Gengar raised its head, looking somewhat smug.

"I wasn't praising you," Jinghe retorted. "You're fast, Gengar."

"Genga~~"

Hi hi~~
Gengar scratched its belly and summoned Rotom.

"Loto~~"

A buzzing current flowed into the electric kettle, quickly boiling a pot of water. Then, Gengar skillfully brewed some Spirit Root Tea.

In a game, something with a bitter taste would cause you to lose affinity with the player.

However, Gengar drinks every day, and Jinghe doesn't see Gengar's affinity level drop at all.

"Meloeta, come on, it's time for your medicine." Jing He carefully lifted the little one's head, blew on the hot tea, and said softly.

“Melo.”

Meloeta's cheeks flushed, her eyes were closed, and she unconsciously opened her mouth as she listened to Jing He's words.

As soon as the bitter Vitality Root Tea entered her mouth, Meloeta's expression instantly became even more pained. After a gasp, she spat out the bitter tea.

“Melo.”

It's so bitter.
Jinghe felt helpless but comforted him, "It's not bitter, sweetie. You'll feel better after drinking it, you'll see."

As he spoke, Jinghe prepared to demonstrate it to Meloetta.

“Melo.”

Meloeta forced her eyes open a crack and looked at Jing He, only to see him drink the entire spoonful of Vitality Root Tea in one gulp.

hiss--

Jinghe suddenly felt a slight numbness in her tongue.

Damn it, why is the Gengar's Energy Root Tea so bitter?
However, in order to convince Meloeta, he still tried his best to appear as if he wasn't suffering.

“Melo.”

Seeing this, Meloetta finally drank the Vitality Root Tea. Although it still tasted bitter, at least it wasn't the only one suffering.

As the Vitality Root Tea was consumed, Meloetta's fever symptoms quickly subsided, and Jinghe, Cynthia, and Gadria all breathed a sigh of relief.

“I didn’t realize you were so good at healing,” Cattleya said.

"The school teaches well."

He studied a lot before.

“This is the little one.” Jing He looked at Meloetta, who was already fast asleep in her arms, with a hesitant expression.

Meloetta herself is not very powerful, but legend has it that her songs can soothe hatred and hostility.

But its true "function" lies in the fact that it is the key to unlocking the seal of the "underwater ruins".

Sealed within the "Underwater Ruins" is the legendary "Mirror of Revealing," which allows the three legendary cloud gods of the Unova region—Land Cloud, Tornado Cloud, and Thunder Cloud—to reveal their true forms.

The legendary "strongest Bug-type" Pokémon, Landorus "Insectcat," is one of them.

In the original work, Team Rocket's "Storm Plan" even required Giovanni to personally take down Meloetta, break the seal, and summon the Three Cloud Gods.

But now
It's likely that Boss Sakaki no longer harbors such ambitions; the "Storm Project" may have been shelved before it even came to fruition.

There's no need to worry about Meloetta causing any unforeseen changes.

“Take it with you. In its current condition, we can’t leave it alone in the wild,” Cynthia suggested.

"Alright."

Jing He nodded.

Even if Meloetta were to encounter some trouble, given its current condition, Jinghe couldn't possibly leave it alone in the wild, neither out of compassion nor reason.

I reckon the "guardians" of Meloetta will come knocking on our door soon.

Picking up Meloeta, they got back into the jeep and continued towards Lianyi Town.

Lianyi Town.

Located in East Unova, this seaside town is bordered by the sea to the east and backed by Mount Reversible. With its pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, it is definitely a great place to retire.

It is said that a very wealthy person, or rather a family, once lived in Ripple Town—the Bourgeois family.

However, they have now moved away, leaving behind a villa.

Meanwhile, Cattleya owns a sizable seaside villa in Ripple Town. Pushing open the back door and walking down the steps, you'll find yourself on a golden beach and an endless expanse of blue sea.

The sun was shining brightly, a gentle sea breeze was blowing, and the sea surface was rippling and sparkling.

The comfortable temperature and environment made Jinghe feel lazy upon arrival, and all her "fighting spirit" for special training vanished.

But he didn't actually have any so-called "special training".

Besides their regular basic training, the kids' "special training" mostly relies on their past hobbies and interests.

For example, Gengar's punching, Ninetales' snowman-building, and Dragonite's flying.

Actually, Jinghe hopes that the little ones can have a relatively quiet environment to "digest" what they have learned from their experiences at Hezhong.

Ninetales' use of ice-type energy, Gengar's use of energy similar to Mewtwo's "Psychic Strike," and Azure Blade's swordsmanship, and so on.

As long as they perform normally
For this "Young Masters World Championship", Jing He felt that getting into the top eight was a conservative estimate, but getting into the top sixteen should be no problem.

If the schedule were a little more "reasonable," they might even be able to "make it" to the finals.

If the schedule is unreasonable.
Then let's all stop trying to be reasonable.

P.S.: It's the last day! Please give me some monthly votes, dear readers!
