Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 554 New Profession, Explanation (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
After a day of rest, the battle for the top eight in the "Young Masters World Performance Competition" officially began!
Jing He and the others arrived at the competition venue together.

Before he could even sit down, the event staff found Jing He.

"Mr. Jinghe, you don't have a match today, would you like to be a commentator?"

"Explanation?"

Jing He was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Yesterday's commentary seemed to be a side job for the Unova Four Heavenly Kings, so it's time for him to take a break today.

As for having Adeike champion commentators...
The organizers were also worried that after a match, the Adeike champion might not have had enough sleep.

Even if it were someone else, they might not be able to explain the Masters Tournament clearly.

Of course, you could also look for players who have already lost the game, but Jing He is currently very popular, and he is also a famous "tactical master", so he must have a lot of research on tactics.

"Yes, you get paid," the staff member said.

That's fine.

"Well, as long as I contribute to the league, do you think I'm the kind of person who cares about salary?"

We just wanted to watch the game from a different perspective.

Led by the staff, Jinghe arrived at the interpreting booth.

Wow! It's actually Professor Jing He providing the commentary?

Some sharp-eyed viewers noticed that today's commentator was none other than Teacher Jing He, which caused quite a stir.

However, while the commentary is important, the focus is definitely on today's match.

The first match is between Cynthia and Gosho.

With an enthusiastic introduction from the host, Cynthia and Gosho, both from the Sinnoh region, entered the arena amidst cheers from the audience.

Da da--

With his light purple long hair, burgundy suit, brown leather shoes, and a book in his hand, Wu Song, with a refined and scholarly air, slowly walked out of the contestant passage with a serious expression.

Upon reaching his assigned spot, Wusong gently adjusted his glasses and gave a friendly smile to the person opposite him.

“Wusong’s smile!” Jing He instantly switched into the role of commentator. “Let me explain it to you all. It’s called—a gentle smile.”

Wu Song nearly stumbled on the field and wiped his forehead in embarrassment.

Teacher Jinghe, although we are very familiar with each other, there is no need to explain this point, right?
"puff--"

"I only have two words to say about Teacher Jinghe's explanation—professional!"

"Look, that's what you call commentary! Learn from this!"

The audience immediately appreciated the engaging nature of Jinghe's commentary.

On the other side, the high heels also made a soft "tap, tap" sound, and the dazzling golden hair cascaded down like sunlight, and the exquisite face seemed to make everything else lose its luster.

A black trench coat, a slender figure, and a faint, confident smile on his face.

"Then let me interpret the cabbage's smile for everyone—no problem!"

"Teacher Jinghe is so funny!"

"Imagine! Teacher Jinghe's commentary is indeed professional. No wonder he studied psychology; he has a pretty good grasp of the two players' psychology."

"So, you can become a commentator after studying psychology? I get it! I'm going to sign up right now!"

Cynthia smiled and glanced at Jing He sitting on the commentary platform, her smile seeming to deepen.

Then, at the referee's signal, both Cynthia and Gossou got ready.

The host realized that his job seemed to have been "stolen" by Teacher Jinghe, so he quickly tried to step in and prevent Teacher Jinghe from taking over all of his hosting duties.

"Both sides are in position! The battle is about to begin!"

"As expected, Wusong's first Pokémon has appeared—it's Bronze Bell!!"

"And Cynthia's first Pokémon was Garchomp!"

The very first Pokémon I encountered was Garchomp!

This was something neither Wu Song nor Jing He could have guessed.

"Genga~~"

Gengar emerged from Jinghe's shadow, sat down beside him, and tugged at its neck as if it were loosening its bow tie.

Explanation?

I can do that too!
"哓GA!"

Garchomp, dance!

"Roar--!!"

Garchomp seemed to have heard Gengar's call, coldly glancing at the commentary booth with a ferocious look in its eyes. Its crossed scythes were even more chilling, and it unleashed a deafening roar.

Wusong said with a stern face, "Damn it, Gengar's yelling, don't take it out on us!"

After the referee's flag was lowered, the battle between the two sides was about to begin.

"Bronze Bell, Magic Space!"

"Greco-Greco, Dragon Dive!"

A very signature opening, with strange light flashing across the arena, and an eerie force that reverses the speed of both sides enveloping the entire arena.

However, before the Trick Room could be activated, Garchomp soared into the sky, transforming into a roaring dragon that surveyed the entire arena.

"Here it comes!" Jing He gripped the microphone tightly and waved his hand, shouting, "Tear everything apart, Garchomp!"

To the horrified eyes of the audience, Garchomp swooped down and tore through the magic space of the Bronze Bell!

"This doesn't make sense! But that's how Pokémon battles are!"

Listening to Jing He's words, the audience seemed to hear him trying to find a "reasonable" explanation for the illogical things that happened in his previous battles. Illogicality is also part of Pokémon battles.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for everyone to just play games?
Fixed stats, fixed Pokémon, fixed strategies; all that remains is the competition and guessing of moves between trainers.

The fun of Pokémon battles lies in the seemingly illogical elements: type advantage, standing up, dodging quickly, holding on, and the ability to turn the tables.

Sister Cabbage, kill!
The result of the battle between Cynthia and Gossip: Cynthia won decisively.

Unfortunately, Wusong's strength lies in his academic-style tactical approach to play.

When the skill level is high enough, the academic-style tactical approach can easily defeat the travel-style and the hot-blooded style. However, when the skill levels are similar, it's hard to say whether the hot-blooded style can unleash its full potential.

Not to mention encountering an illogical Garchomp like Cynthia.

In Wusong's words—"They've torn up the entire magic space for me, what am I supposed to do?"

In the end, Cynthia and Wusong both tacitly refrained from using Mega Evolution, which was another trick up their sleeve for Cynthia.

In addition to the competition among players from all over the world, this "Young Masters World Championship" also hides some regional competition.

Aside from a few individual contestants, viewers will inevitably tend to support contestants from their own region.

Although Wusong lost, he didn't reveal too many of Cynthia's trump cards.

There are four matches today: Cynthia vs. Gossip, Leon vs. Wanlong, Cattleya vs. Acerola, and Steven vs. Pachira.

Dan Di and Wan Long.

Although Leon no longer has the "everything revolves around Gigantamax Charizard" tactic, he can still use the "everything revolves around Charizard" tactic. Wanlong is still a little lacking in terms of raw strength.

Furthermore, Leon is not a trainer who specializes in one type of Pokémon. He has quite a few Pokémon he can use against Wanlong, who specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon.

For example, the Shielded Swordsman.

And Dralongo, the Ghost Dragon, who is known as the "True Giratina".

As for Cattleya and Acerola, one is a Psychic type and the other is a Ghost type. Ghost types have a certain type advantage, but unlike Fighting types, Cattleya is completely immune to Ghost types. Psychic types at least have a fighting chance.

Caldelia is a superpowered individual, belonging to the category of those with "cheat codes," which is why she successfully advanced to the top eight.

The last match of the day is Daigo vs. Pachira.
Pachira is the future Fire-type Elite Four of the Kalos region, and in terms of type, Pachira has an absolute advantage.

But Steven isn't a pure Steel-type Pokémon specialist; he's a hybrid of Steel, Rock, and Ground types.

In addition, Daigo's own strength is also stronger than Pachira's, so the result was not too surprising.

The second day of the competition will be more suspenseful than the first day.

The match schedule for the second day is: Awa vs. Mikori, Daiya vs. Xinli, Kona vs. Karuno, and Jinghe vs. Qibana.

A showdown with Chibana?
"Genga~~"

Gengar, with its hands behind its back, practices singing techniques with Meloetta.

Jing He sat on a bench in the courtyard, calculating the expenses for the past few days, when Young Gilas came to his side, looking at the bench which was much taller than him.
"Yo-yo!"

With a powerful jump, she leaped up, grabbed the edge of the bench with both hands, and kicked her little feet vigorously in mid-air. After a great struggle, she finally climbed up and nestled into Jinghe's arms.

"what happened?"

Noticing the little guy's movements, Jinghe stopped calculating and quickly switched the screen to the battle promotion page.

"Yo-yo~~"

As soon as the young Gilas opened its mouth, it spat out a brown stone, about half the size of a fist.

Ok?
Jinghe keenly noticed the place the little guy was pointing to.

A chip appeared on the stone slab fragment, which was about half the size of a fist!
This is a stone slab from the earth!

Even though it's just a fragment, it's still a stone slab.

The little guy actually bit off a piece from the broken stone slab?
"Did you eat it? Or did you absorb it?"

"Yo-yo!"

Young Gilas spun his hands around in front of him like rollers a few times, then put his hands on his hips and held his head high.

Of course, it's digestion and absorption!

Upon hearing this, Jing He's lips twitched.

It's over.

Stone slab fragments, Younggilas can actually absorb them!
Wouldn't that turn the area into a walking pile of broken stone slabs?
And the key point is, if we start making slate now, what else can satisfy it in the future?
A single slab of earth? A rock slab?

But seeing the little guy's proud look, Jing He couldn't say anything. She could only gently pat its head and praise it:
"Well done, Young Kylas."

How about we play against Qibana tomorrow and let the little guy give it a try?
Chibana is known as the "child of the weather," controlling sunny days, sandstorms, and rainy days.

Given Larva's abilities, it might actually have a chance to steal control of the weather?
If all else fails, there's always the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox as a backup.
"Would you like to try it tomorrow?" Jinghe asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Young Gilas's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yo-yo!!"

Power!!
Seeing its current state, Jinghe thought it best to quickly find an Everstone for the little guy to wear, lest it suddenly evolve.

Besides the fragments of the Earth Slab, Younggiras also has a "Land Stone" that originated from the Land Cloud.

If it can even digest fragments of earth slabs, then the "earth stones" of the Earth Cloud are even easier to digest.

Once it absorbs all of it, its power will probably be outrageous.

If we really want to really settle down, not being able to fly might actually be quite suitable for the little guy?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Jinghe quickly shook her head and suppressed it.

I must have been out of my mind to have such a crazy idea.

The second half of the quarterfinals kicked off the next day!
