Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 561 Geng, One Man, One Battalion, Ghost! (Seeking monthly votes!)

"Genga~!"

Gengar immediately jumped out of its Poké Ball and stood beside Jing He. Black mist surged around it, and a "assault rifle" formed from the black mist appeared in its hand.

Chu tu tu tu——

He fired a barrage of shots at Dan, who was posing with a Poss.

Jinghe: "?"

Emperor Dan: "?"

But the audience who witnessed this scene were particularly excited.

The tension is palpable, it's got it! It's got it!
"Ahem!" Another new referee appeared on the field, riding a Shield Sword Monster that had maintained its shield form.

"Boys, please prepare yourselves!"

His voice echoed throughout the entire venue.

Boom!Boom!
On the big screen, the portraits of Leon and Jinghe appeared on the left and right, respectively, along with the images of six intact Poké Balls.

Upon hearing this, Dan Di finally put down the pose he had set up, looked intently at Jing He, and had an excited smile on his face.

"Teacher Jinghe, I'm so glad to finally have the chance to fight you again! This time, I'll show you my full strength, and I hope we both have a great time!"

As he spoke, he grabbed a Poké Ball.

Jing He's lips curled slightly as he adjusted his hat brim. With a flick of his wrist, a Poké Ball appeared, and he said slowly:

"as you wish."

Rumbling--

A faint rumble emanated from the arena, and a brand-new arena emerged beneath the mechanism. The battlefield for this battle between Jinghe and Dandi was—flat ground!
"Both players, please summon your Pokémon!"

The referee shouted again.

Leon threw out his Poké Ball first, shouting at the same time:

"You're the one, Flame Ace!"

A red light flashed, and a Pokémon that looked like a bipedal rabbit with white ears, a red mane in the middle, and pants like those worn by a soccer player appeared on the field, hopping and skipping.

"Cinderace, the frontline Pokémon, a Fire-type Pokémon, possesses top-tier explosive power, jumping ability, kicking power, and balance among all Pokémon. It can always deliver a beautiful and powerful shot, Roto!"

Is the first one Flame Ace?
As Cinderace made its appearance, Jinghe had already thrown out its Poké Ball.

And appearing
It was none other than the Azure Flame Blade Demon!

"Gucha!"

With a light swing of his twin blades, Azure Flame Blade Demon unleashed a ghostly blue flame.

Seeing this, Flame Ace's expression became more serious, but he still had a relaxed smile on his face. He clenched his fists one in front of the other and bounced lightly on the field, as if he was doing his final warm-up.

The faint glow emanating from its body undoubtedly demonstrated the solemnity in Cinderace's heart at this moment.

As fellow Fire-type Pokémon, they inevitably want to test their firepower against each other.

"Teacher Jinghe's Azure Flame Blade Demon! It can transform into Crimson Lotus Knight!"

"A Fire-type Pokémon versus another Fire-type Pokémon, is it going to be the most intense clash right from the start?"

"Emperor Dan's Blazing Flame Ace should not be underestimated!"

"."

Viewers shared their opinions on the two Pokémon.

Unlike ordinary viewers, skilled trainers like Cynthia can see more than what's hidden beneath the surface.

"Judging solely from the initial Pokémon, Jinghe-sensei is slightly at a disadvantage," Wusong said, adjusting his glasses.

“Hmm,” Cynthia nodded.

Of course, this is only what we can see now. What will happen when the battle starts depends on their individual performance and tactics.

"Battle—" The referee, riding the Shielded Swordsman, quickly pulled away. "Begin!"

Dan Di stood still, looking at Jing He with a smile, showing no intention of launching a preemptive attack.

To be honest, Jing He had never intended to attack aggressively in all the matches of the "Young Masters World Championship," but this was the first time he had encountered an opponent who had given him the initiative to go first.

He understood the reason to some extent.

On the one hand, it's because Dan Di is confident in his strength and abilities, and is certain that he can counterattack even when he has the advantage of being the second option.

On the other hand...
Jing He smiled slightly.

Since that's the case, then accept their "kindness".

"Blue Flame Blade Ghost, Lingsao!"

"Gucha!"

Upon hearing this, Azure Flame Blade Demon did not hesitate at all. With a light flick of its blade, a shadow shot out from under its feet along with the blade, approaching Blazing Ace at an extremely fast speed.

Cinderace suddenly realized that the "Life Orb" on his body seemed to be getting out of control.

But at that moment, the voice of the Pill Emperor also came.

"Flash Ace, launch a surprise attack!"

Raid!

Flash Flame Ace's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a gray-black energy filled with intense malice surged from its body, propelling it to rush towards Azure Flame Blade Demon at an even faster speed.

If you look closely enough, you'll notice that the tuft of red hair at the center of Cinderace's head has turned grayish-black!
The type of Cinderace has also changed from Fire to Dark!
Free spirits!
[Freelancer: Before using a move, their own attributes are changed to the attributes of the move being used.]

This is a unique ability specific to the Pokémon Cinderace, somewhat similar to the "Transform" ability.

Dark-type moves have double the resistance to Ghost-type moves, and Dark-type moves also deal double the damage to Ghost-type moves like Azure Glaive.

More importantly, the "Freelancer" trait allows users to change their own attributes before using a move, which means that Cinderace's Sudden Attack move has its own attribute bonus.

and this.

This is also why Dan Di didn't make the first move and let Jing He attack first.

This is also why Cynthia and others felt that Cinderace was more advantageous than Azure Blade.

Thanks to its "Free Spirit" ability, Cinderace has the ability to counter Blademaster, while Blademaster has no moves that counter Cinderace's fire-type moves.

but.

Knowing this, Jing He still chose to attack first, also because...
While Blaze Blade may not have learned Ground, Rock, and Water types that are effective against Fire-type Cinderace, this doesn't mean it lacks moves that are effective against Dark-type moves.

boom! !

Flash Flame Ace struck first, appearing suddenly in front of Azure Flame Blade Demon and kicking it directly in the chest without hesitation.

The armor, imbued with a curse, cracked as it made a "crack" sound.

Shattered armor!

Jing He narrowed her eyes, suppressing the pain in her heart, and said quickly:

"Close combat!"

"Gucha!"

Azure Flame Blade Demon was hit by a surprise kick from Blazing Flame Ace, which carried the "Orb of Life," and it hurt a lot.

But the pain and the shattered armor gave it a faster reaction speed. Taking advantage of the moment before Flame Ace had fully settled down, it swung its twin swords and charged straight up.

bang bang bang-

In close combat, with the blade at his side, Flame Ace hastily dodged, but was still accidentally struck on the shoulder by the blade and sent flying backward!

However, the shattered armor and close combat also significantly reduced the Azure Flame Blade Demon's defensive capabilities.

Such a powerful Azure Flame Blade Demon would likely be unable to withstand another hit from the Blazing Flame Ace, so Jing He did not hesitate to launch a continuous barrage of attacks.

"Azure Flame Blade Demon, come again, close combat!"

Dan Di clearly understood the current state of the Azure Flame Blade Demon, so he also refused to back down and shouted out:
"Flame Ace, Surprise Attack!"

Flame Ace barely managed to stand firm, and instead of dodging the charging Azure Blade Demon, it charged forward as well.

hum-

Jing He narrowed his eyes, and his wave power spread out, merging with the wave power of the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

this moment.

Although Cinderace's attack was very fast, it seemed to slow down due to the Aura effect. "Gurgle."

Azure Flame Blade Demon took a deep breath, and a dark blue flame appeared in its eyes. Facing the Blazing Ace's surprise attack once again, which came after it had already struck, its heart remained remarkably calm.

Block!

boom! !

The blade collided head-on with Cinderace's kick, which was enveloped in dense dark energy.

blocked?
Dan Di's heart skipped a beat, not expecting the Azure Blade Demon's reaction speed to be so fast. Just after Cinderace was hit by the Azure Blade Demon's second sword, he immediately took out a Poké Ball and shot out a red light.

"Come back, Ace Flame!"

Thanks to its "free agent" characteristics, it almost lost a fight to the Azure Flame Blade Demon?
Seeing the Flame Ace retracted, countless spectators in the stands slowly exhaled their pent-up breaths.

The collision just now was incredibly fast, and in just a few breaths, they were so badly beaten that they didn't dare to blink, and they even instinctively held their breath.

Although I didn't quite understand it, it was exciting!

The audience felt their adrenaline surge.

"Phew—I'm afraid to breathe."

"I don't understand it, but I find it incredibly exciting."

"So, Teacher Jinghe has a slight advantage?"

Fortunately, the organizers arranged a commentator for this match, and it was none other than Qibana, who knew Dandi quite well and had even played against Jinghe.

Only after his explanation did the audience understand the "free agent" characteristic of Flame Ace, and the complete process of the game between the two sides.

I finally understood it, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it!
Is this a battle between top young masters?
Fun!

Dan Di also slowly exhaled and calmed down.

Is this the skill of Teacher Jinghe?

We really can't underestimate them in the slightest!
"Go, Thousand Faces!" Leon threw out his second Poké Ball.

Although he was the first to replace a Pokémon, it doesn't mean that Cinderace had a greater advantage in the clash between Cinderace and Blademaster.

In fact, both sides were in poor condition, coupled with the Azure Flame Blade Demon's current defensive capabilities.
Replacing Cinderace is a Pokémon that looks like a lizard, with an extremely slender body, standing on two legs, and striking a 007-style gun-wielding pose.

"Intelligent Alolans, the Agent Pokémon, a Water-type Pokémon, possesses a variety of hidden special abilities and can cleverly choose and utilize these abilities!"

The final evolution of the Galarian water-dwelling teardrop, the Thousand-Faced Chameleon.

To be honest, the Inteleon that struck a pose at this moment is actually the Pokémon that is most compatible with Leon.

Upon seeing the Thousand Faces and confirming that it was Dan-di's second Pokémon, Jing-he also took out a Poké Ball and recalled the Azure Blade Ghost.

With its armor shattered and two close-quarters battles completed, Blademaster's defense is now frighteningly low, making it unsuitable for battles against the next Pokémon.

What's more, it's the one whose attributes truly counter Azure Flame Blade Demon.

However, Azure Blade Demon has done enough, helping Jinghe reverse the disadvantage brought about by the "Free Spirit" ability and successfully gain the advantage of switching Pokémon later.

Faced with the challenge of Thousand Faces Avoiding Escape, Jinghe's choice is...
"Go, Gui Gui!"

"Genga~!"

Upon hearing this, Gengar, who was already hiding in Jinghe's shadow, immediately let out an excited cry.

A shadow emerged from the shadows and landed in the arena.

Then Gengar, wearing sunglasses, jumped out of the shadows, hands on hips, tongue lolling out, seemingly to compete with the Thousand Faces to see who could strike a more stylish pose.

“Genga~(▼皿▼)σ”

"It's Teacher Jinghe's Gengar!!"

"How can there be such an adorable Pokémon as Gengar?!"

"Gengar is invincible!"

The cheers from the audience clearly demonstrate just how popular Gengar is.

Seemingly spurred on by Gengar, Inteleon also took out a rather unusual monocle and put it on her eyes.

Prop – Focusing Lens!

It makes it easier to hit the opponent's vital points.

Then the characteristics of Leon's Thousand Faces are obvious: Sniper!
[Sniper: Deals significantly more damage when hitting a vital point.]

This time, Leon finally stopped giving up the first move and launched a direct attack, attempting to gain a time advantage by switching Pokémon first.

"Thousand Faces of Evasion, Evil Wave!"

hum-

Inteleon held its hands out like guns, pointing them at Gengar, and the "focus lens" on its eyes helped it pinpoint Gengar's two weak points.

A spot between the eyebrows, a spot on the tongue.

Without the slightest hesitation, after locking onto the target, Thousand Faces waved its hands lightly, and two Dark Pulse beams shot straight towards Gengar like bullets.

Seeing this, Gengar was not afraid at all; instead, it grinned even wider.

It even had time to look back at Jing He.

"Genga~!"

Hey! This guy's cheating, he can do the work of two with one move!

Jinghe also smiled.

One move can be used as two?
We can't do it.

One of our moves can
"Gengar, Shadow Ball!"

hum-

Gengar immediately floated up, and thick black mist surged from its body. Then, two black spheres appeared on its hands, which it threw at the Dark Pulse shot by Inteleon.

boom! boom! !

The two energies collided in mid-air.

Ok?
The Thousand-Faced Avoid was slightly taken aback upon seeing this scene.

Is this Gengar on the other side also able to use moves like that?
"Watch out, Thousand-Faced Escaper!" Just then, Dan Emperor's urgent voice rang out, "Get out of the way quickly!"

Although Inteleon was slightly distracted, it must be said that as a special agent Pokémon, its combat skills are beyond question. Upon hearing Leon's words, it immediately sprang into action.

Its slender and graceful body endowed it with agile movements and quick reflexes. It leaped into the air, its body spinning and darting, and miraculously grazed past the two black balls.

Boom! !
The two shadow orbs crashed to the ground, creating two sizable craters.

That rascal.
The Thousand-Faced Avoid, who was dodging, was surprised.

The opponent can release four Shadow Orbs at once, not two?!
suddenly.

As soon as the Thousand Faces landed, it saw a Gengar appear in front of it. It suddenly shuddered and quickly dodged backward.

then
"Genga?"

Behind it, another Gengar appeared.

Immediately afterwards, five or six Gengar appeared on the left, right, and above, and they all looked real!
Shadow clone?

Do not!
The Thousand-Faced Avoid's pupils suddenly contracted.

Because it saw that each of these Gengar had two Shadow Balls in its hand!
This, so much?

Thousand-Faced Escaper subconsciously swallowed.

next second.

Just listen
"哓GA!"

Numerous shadow orbs rained down on it from all directions.

Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly——

The dense, roaring noises brought forth large plumes of smoke and dust.

The audience who witnessed this scene were all dumbfounded.

How can this Gengar split into two and use Shadow Ball?
The Thousand Faces of Evasion only fired two Evil Waves, and you...
Gengar stuck out its tongue, looking completely "crazy," and waved its hands wildly.

The translation is: Ola ola ola ola ola!
Let you strike a pose! Let you strike a pose! Do you think you can strike a pose like that? That's mine!
After the game, when Qianmian was interviewed for avoiding retirement, it looked sorrowful in front of the camera and microphone: *whoosh*
To put it another way: Seriously, as a special agent, it's normal for me to be carrying two guns, but the other side... that guy, are those two shadow orbs? That's a whole battalion! Those shells...
Geng, one man, one battalion, ghost!
