Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 550 I'm worried he won't approve of me (Seeking monthly votes!)
Teacher Jinghe has successfully advanced to the top 32. The subsequent competition will be held in the large stadium located in the very center of Feiyun City, above Feiyun Park.

Unsurprisingly, almost all the guys Jinghe knew and was familiar with successfully advanced to the top 32.

Everyone will compete for victory in a large arena.

Although only two rounds were played, the high quality of this "Young Masters World Championship" left most viewers thoroughly entertained.

Whether they were in the audience at the venue or watching the live broadcast online or on television, everyone felt that the competition was very exciting.

Many people are already looking forward to seeing a clash between two titans.

For example, the duel between teacher Jinghe and student Daigo, or the duel between best friends Cynthia and Carmen.

In short, expectations are extremely high.

But for the contestants whose duel the audience was eagerly anticipating, they were currently...
"Daiwu, could you get me some pepper?" Jinghe, wearing a Gengar apron, was grilling.

"Good teacher."

Daigo handed it over quickly.

Cynthia, Karuno, and Cattleya sat to one side whispering and chatting about some girly topics.

"Jing Jinghe!!"

Adu suddenly rushed in, looking rather disheveled.

This is a look that is rarely seen on Adu.

"Just say I'm not here!" After giving those instructions, she turned and ran into the house.

"Mr. Adu, what is this?" Da Ye, who was eagerly waiting for the skewers with Gengar and Larvitar, couldn't help but ask.

Jing He's expression remained unchanged as she turned to look at Wu Song, who was wearing a Gardevoir apron, and said:
"Wusong, hurry up with the string."

With his sleeves rolled up and wearing an apron, Wusong sat in a chair, glanced at the various side dishes on the table in front of him, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Sin!
If I have truly committed any sins, let God punish me, not me.
"Roar?"

The Garchomp, engrossed in its skewers, cast its gaze upon them.

"Okay, Teacher Jinghe." Wusong obediently replied.

Then Jinghe looked at Daye, smiled, and began the countdown.

"Three, two, one"

"Teacher Jinghe, have you seen that guy Adu?" Kona suddenly ran in.

Just as Jing He was about to speak, Da Ye quickly said, "He's not here!"

Upon hearing his words, Jinghe couldn't help but pat her forehead.

Sure enough, Kona looked suspicious, as if she didn't believe it.

Then, without hesitation, he shouted into the house:

"You think you can hide and I won't be able to find you?!"

"Who, who's hiding!"

A-Du poked his head out from the second-floor balcony and said firmly:
"Old woman, don't think I'm afraid of you!"

"You son of a bitch, come down here if you dare!"

"Come down if you want!"

Adol stiffened his neck, threw out a Poké Ball to summon a Dragonite, flicked his cape, and flipped onto the air, shouting, "I forgot about the mission! Don't try to run away!"

"Woo~~"

Dragonite flapped its wings and flew away.

Kona was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stomped her foot.

"This guy can only fly!"

Then he chased after them.

Having witnessed the whole thing, Daye shrank back, "Ah, Adu, that's not how it is, is it?"

"Then it depends on who you're facing."

Jinghe shrugged.

When facing Kona, Lance doesn't quite act like the "Dragon Messenger" who dares to fight and take risks.

On the one hand, it's because of some reasons that are hard to explain.
On the other hand, it's also because Kona's restraint towards Lance was really a bit too much.

Not only her spiky clam and Laplace, but also because of...
Kona also raised an Ice Ninetales.

As for whose influence or guidance they received, well...
"Women...how terrifying," Da Ye murmured.

stare!
Three pairs of eyes turned to Cynthia.

Jinghe straightened her expression and decisively distanced herself from Daye.

That's not what I said.

Wu Song immediately withdrew his empathetic gaze and pretended not to have heard.

"Wusong, the weather is nice today," Jinghe said.

“Yes, yes.” Wusong nodded repeatedly.

It's a pity that it's no longer snowing at the end of April and the beginning of May, otherwise Wusong's current mood would be worthy of a poem like "A Spray of Plum Blossoms".

Cynthia smiled slightly, "Shall we intensify our combat training, Big Leaf?"

Big Leaf shrank back.

But when he thought of Adu's behavior just now, and the subtle glances given to him by Teacher Jinghe and Wusong, he realized...
He put his hands in his pockets, tilted his afro-covered head back, looked at Cynthia and Garchomp defiantly, and sneered:

"Pshaw, I'm best at climbing trees!"

Overall, it can be quite fun when everyone gets together.

The preparations for the competition were filled with joy as well.

Snow Flower City, Dragon Spiral Tower.

A young man wearing a baseball cap and with long, light blue hair trudged along the snow-covered steps, turning his head to gaze into the distance.

As you look through the ruins, in the vast world of ice and snow, your entire field of vision seems to consist only of black and white.

N exhaled a soft breath, adjusted his state, and continued to advance towards the tower.

almost.

He felt it was almost time.

The faint voice in his mind became clearer; he could tell that this was the place.

They slowly climbed up the steps, leaving footprints on them.

He spent several days here, searching for the source of the voice deep within his heart, and finally pinpointed the Dragon Spiral Tower.

"We'll be there soon, very soon."

What are Pokémon? What are humans? How should humans and Pokémon coexist?
He already had a goal and the answer in his heart.

But to achieve his goals and his ideals, his current strength is not enough; he must get help, more help.

In fact, when the voice led him to the Dragon Spiral Tower, N had already guessed the identity of the voice in his heart.

In the vast expanse of snow, the slender figure appeared somewhat lonely, but his steps became increasingly firm as he climbed the steps.

N pulled down the brim of his hat, slightly raised his dark eyelids, and finally arrived at the top floor of the Dragon Spiral Tower.

Frosty white mist drifted by, dark clouds rapidly condensed in the sky, and blue thunderbolts rolled and churned.

For a time, black dominated the world.

Boom! !
Suddenly, a bolt of blue lightning struck, as if tearing a hole in the blackness. Within the vast lightning, the outline of a pitch-black figure was illuminated by the lightning.

"Zekrom!"

N's eyes reflected the image of Zekrom.

The two were far apart, but their gazes seemed to meet in mid-air.

I sensed the unwavering determination in your heart.

Amidst the terrifying azure lightning, a muffled, thunderous voice resounded once more in N's mind.

This time, the sound was so clear.

Tell me your ideal, humanity!

N's light blue hair swayed in the wind and snow. He stared straight at Zekrom without flinching, his mind repeating Zekrom's question over and over.

Is it ideal?
He was once confused about this.

But now he is.
N's eyes flickered, and deep within them seemed something dazzling was being conceived and growing wildly.

He lifted his eyelids, his gaze unwavering, and spoke slowly and clearly:
"My ideal is to let all Pokémon live the life they want!"

"I know I can't be the king of Unova, and I don't want to be a so-called king. I just want to help Pokémon in need, that's all." Rumble—

The lightning continued to flash, but N and Zekrom fell silent as they gazed at each other in silence.

After a long while, a human touch appeared on Czechrom's face.

Your persistence is your ideal!

Boom! !

Terrifying lightning lingered in the sky. Under N's ​​gaze, the originally black and white world seemed to come alive, no longer just black and white, but filled with many fluttering colors.

The tenacity of the Bean Pigeon, the joy of Hayok, the anticipation of the Gale Dog, symbolize the birds' approval.
All of these elements combine to create the colors of the world.

You have earned my approval!

Zekrom had somehow appeared at the top of the Dragon Spiral Tower and stood before N.

N paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on Czechrom's dark skin, feeling the metallic texture.

"Thank you, Czechrom."

hum-

Their vision seemed to change, and N and Zekrom found themselves in a vast, boundless space.

But here, they can communicate freely about their inner thoughts.

N sat down on the ground, while Czechrom stood to the side.

After a long silence, N spoke again.

"Czechrom, on my path to realizing my ideals, I still need to find a teacher. He gave me direction, and I feel that with his guidance, I won't lose my way in the pursuit of power, and I won't go astray."

【teacher? 】

N nodded, a slow smile spreading across his face.

That was the first person to affirm me, encourage and support me, and suggest that I go out and see the world.

Although they didn't actually communicate much.

But N had been following the other person online, and the worldview reflected in the other person's behavior and actions was constantly guiding him.

Teacher Jinghe

In this vast world of thought, N's idea slowly brought out the outline of Jing He.

It was him.

Upon seeing "Jinghe", Czech Röm paused for a moment.

"You know him?" N was also somewhat surprised by Czechrom's reaction.

Zekrom nodded.

Before calling you, I went to see him.

"Ok?"

His persistence isn't as great as yours, but his conviction surpasses yours.

"So you didn't approve of Teacher Jinghe?" N's speech quickened, and his emotions seemed to fluctuate.

【No】

"Why then?"

Czechrom slowly raised his head, his gaze seemingly fixed on the distant void.

I recalled the first time I met Jinghe.

That seemingly frail figure was filled with powerful auras, both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

I'm worried that he doesn't approve of me.

N: "???"

Feiyun City, the main venue of the competition.

The stadium was even more lively today because, starting from the round of 32, the venue for the matches was moved from the branch venues to the main stadium, which can accommodate more people.

At 10:00 AM, today's competition officially began.

按照赛程规则，32晋16的对战规则将由原本的3V3轮换模式，改变为6选3的单打轮换模式。

It seems to simply involve adding a process of showcasing and selecting Pokémon.
But in reality, showing off your Pokémon is almost equivalent to showing off your tactics and strategies.

Furthermore, once the three Pokémon are selected, they cannot be changed. This means that both sides have already determined the three Pokémon they can use before the battle begins, rather than adjusting them based on the Pokémon their opponent sends out during the battle.

It is said that when the top 16 advance to the top 8, the rules will change to a 6-out-of-4 format. When the top 8 advance to the semifinals and subsequent matches, it will be a full rotation format.

At the same time, another point to consider is the players' enhanced hands.

For example, Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and Crystallization.

The competition did not prohibit these enhancement methods, meaning they can be used.

even.

Neither of them stated that only one could be used.
Jing He wasn't in a hurry to go to the competition venue because his match today was scheduled for the afternoon.

In fact, because the matches are concentrated in the main stadium, the 32 teams will play 16 matches, which cannot be completed in one day.

"Has it finally come?"

Jing He looked at the list of matches for today displayed on the Rotom Pokédex and gently rubbed his chin.

His opponent today.

It's Marion, a competitor from the Alora region.

Currently, he is the director of the Hilkrani Observatory on Ula'ula Island and the administrator of the Alola Storage System, and is proficient in Steel-type Pokémon.

But according to Jinghe's knowledge, he will become one of the first Elite Four in the newly formed Alola League!

Steel-type Elite Four!

Even if a superstar comes from a "countryside" background, he's still a superstar.
Furthermore, the Z-Moves of the Alola region are also a problem.

"Gucha!"

Is it steel-based?
Azure Flame Blade Demon gently rubbed his sword blade against a piece of metal, performing a sword flourish in the air.

What are you afraid of!

Just do it!
Jing He smiled and waved her hand, saying:
"That's about enough. Let's go watch Da Ye and his team's match first."

"Yo-yo~!"

Young Kylas bared its teeth and claws.

The hungry dragon roars!

Ma Ruiyin, nicknamed "Old Ma," has a bird's nest-like golden hair, a blue jacket and light blue shirt, brown pants and brown shoes, and looks...
"Old Ma, are you really old enough to participate in this competition?"

The chubby guy, who is also Marin's cousin, is holding a poster for the "Young Masters World Championship" and pointing to the word "Young" on it.

"Hahaha—" Ma Rui chuckled lazily, scratching his messy hair as he said, "I've already played two rounds and haven't been suspended, so I should be able to play, right?"

Mamane: "."

Was he trying to say something about whether or not one can fight?
He meant that Ma Ruiyin looked very old and had a lazy demeanor, which made him appear weak at the start of a match.

"Old Ma's opponent today is Teacher Jing He!" Mao looked at the match list and was very excited.

It's been a long time since I last saw Teacher Jinghe.

"Teacher Jinghe is amazing!" Shui Lian, who is usually quiet and shy, also expressed her opinion at this moment.

Mao and Shui Lian invited Jing He to Alola last time, but it seems that Jing He hasn't gone to Alola yet because of something.

We can invite you to meet again this time.

"I must show Teacher Jinghe my fishing skills again!" Shui Lian thought to herself.

"Hey, hey, hey." Mamane put his hands on his hips, somewhat unconvinced, and said, "Don't boost their morale! We haven't even fought yet, so we don't know the outcome!"

"Exactly!" Kachi's eyes seemed to burn with passion. "If I have the chance, I'd love to have a match with Teacher Jinghe!"

Watching them make a racket, Ma Rui scratched his head again and smiled lazily.

How could he not understand Jing He?
His good friend Zhenghui had mentioned Jinghe to him more than once.

Jinghe said that Gengar's evolution was the most exaggerated communication evolution he had ever seen.

He also watched the recording of Jinghe's match yesterday.

To be honest, it's better to avoid encountering that Gengar.

"Dr. Solans said that Professor Jinghe also has some knowledge of astronomy. Maybe we can exchange ideas after the competition."
