Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 566 I've Made It Big After All (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"Teacher Jinghe, you've defeated Dandi and advanced to the semifinals. Is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?"

After the match, a press conference was held as arranged by the organizers. Many reporters sat together and interviewed Jing He and Dan Di separately.

One of the journalists from the Galar region said earnestly.

"emmm"

After a moment's thought, Jing He said, "The Pill Emperor's fire-breathing dragon is exceptionally strong."

After saying that, he looked at Gengar, who was sitting to the side wearing sunglasses and pretending to be an expert.

"哓GA!"

Gengar adjusted his sunglasses, nodded briefly, and indicated his agreement.

The Gengar that's noisy and playful on the field and the Gengar that's quiet and cool off the field are just one victory away from a resounding triumph.

The reporter, having gotten the answer she wanted, brightened slightly. Before she could ask any further questions, Jing He spoke again:

"I suggest that when fighting Leon's Charizard in the future, you should not use Water, Rock, or Ground-type Pokémon."

"Huh?" The Galar reporter paused, then instinctively asked, "Why?"

"Because it will become a giant grassland."

Galar reporter: "???"

Dan Di, standing to the side: "."

He didn't use Dynamax, so how did Jinghe know?
But to be honest, it's quite reasonable for Charizard, a Fire-type Pokémon, to have Max Shore after Dynamaxing, right?

Look at Kibana, Leon's formidable rival. He tried to use a sandstorm against Leon, but he definitely won't win.

"Ahem." A reporter from the Hoenn region tried to suppress his smirk and asked Leon.

"Dan Di, what do you think of Coach Jing He?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Dan Di solemnly stated, "Very strong! Especially Gengar."

"Genga~~"

Gengar adjusted his sunglasses at Leon.

"Anything else?" the reporter from the Hoenn region asked again.

"And?" Dan Di suddenly realized, "There's also Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, Dragonite, Azure Flame Blade Demon, Great Blacksmith, and Martial Arts Bear Master."

No, even the Pill Emperor has never fought against the Great Blacksmith or the Martial Arts Bear Master.

And that's not what the reporter meant, is it?

"Teacher Jinghe, Nie Zi, Qibana, and Dandi from the Galar region have all been defeated by you. Do you have anything to say about that?"

At this point, another reporter asked a question.

Ok?
Who is trying to sow discord between me and the Galar Alliance at this time?
Jing He looked toward the reporter, following the sound.

Upon discovering that it was wearing a vest from Carlos TV, he immediately gave Gengar a look.

Remember this TV station.

Gengar pulled down the corner of its glasses, revealing scarlet eyes, licked its lips, and nodded slightly.

"Genga~~"

He's definitely going to wet the bed tonight!
Jing He coughed lightly, "Ahem, as you know, I have a very good relationship with the trainers in Galar."

"Master Ma is like a half-teacher to me, Dante is like a half-student, Champion Pione is a very good friend of mine, his daughter is my student, and Dr. Magnolia's granddaughter from Galar is also my student."

Hearing about these relationships, the reporter who asked the question suddenly felt a little sweaty.

No, is the Galar Alliance yours to own?

Dan Di, who was standing to the side, remained silent, lost in thought.

If Teacher Jinghe is considered Master Ma's student, then he and Teacher Jinghe are of the same generation. Champion Pioni is Teacher Jinghe's friend, which means he is also Teacher Jinghe's friend.
Ok?
I'm of the same generation as Champion Pioneer! And a generation ahead of Daigo and the others!
Ah!
The interview is over.

The next match hadn't started yet, and Jinghe and Dandi sat chatting.

"It's a pity I still couldn't see your Eevee, Teacher Jinghe, this time."

Dante was very fond of Jinghe's "Ibrahimovic".

Jing He's lips twitched.

Since you are so sincere
"Next time, the next time I have the chance to go to the Galar region, I will definitely bring it with me."

"It's a deal!" Emperor Dan took it seriously.

After confirming this matter, the Pill Emperor said sincerely:
"However, after battling with you, Jinghe-sensei, both my Pokémon and I have grown a lot."

After all, Dan Di and Teacher Jing He are essentially the same type of players who rely on skill in combat, and they also have a bond that provides a safety net.

In previous matches, Dan Di learned a lot about the quality of his fighting style from Jing He, and gained a lot from it.

"Ha ha--"

Jing He chuckled dryly twice.

Just don't say I taught you when you go back.

"This gives me more confidence for the upcoming matches!" Dante remained full of energy.

"The matches after that?" Jing He was taken aback.

"Oh, it's the 'Champions League' of the Galar region."

Champions League!

It is a league unique to the Galar region, and it actually has two modes.

A tournament somewhat similar to those in other regions, where players collect badges and battle it out to win the championship, is called the "Championship League".

For example, Dante won the league championship when he was only ten years old and had just debuted, which caught the eye of Loz.

The other one is somewhat similar to the "Road to Champions" in other regions, except that the Galar region does not have the so-called Elite Four, so there is no "Road to Champions" and instead there is the "Championship League".

However, the "champion" in this "Championship League" refers to the regional permanent champion, and the current champion of the Galar region is Pione.

Given Dan's current strength and reputation, it's impossible for him to participate in the "Championship League," which is a tournament in the League of Legends.
"That Pioni champion he"

Didn't they say Pioni went to the Crown Snowfield?
Dante lowered his voice, "According to Chairman Loz, Champion Pione has stepped down from his position as champion."

Has he already stepped down?
Or was the information leaked by Lorz?

Although Loth and Pione are brothers, their relationship...
and.

Now that Pione has stepped down and Leon is participating in the "Championship League," doesn't that mean Leon is officially going to become the champion of the Galar region?!

Is our generation finally about to produce its first champion?
"Keep it up!" Jing He patted Dan Di on the shoulder and said quite seriously.

Although Dan Di's current strength may still be a little short of that of a true champion, he is at most about the same level as himself, and at most one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

However, given Rose's track record, and considering the boost Leon received from Dynamaxing in the Galar region, he isn't entirely unqualified to be the champion.

Moreover, the Pill Emperor's strength has indeed improved.

“I will!” Dan Di nodded. “But the ‘Championship League’ won’t be held for a while, so I’ll go see my teacher and take some time to reflect.”

We must win the championship!

Just thinking about what my friends will be like in the future: Galar Champion, Hoenn Champion, Sinnoh Champion, Johto Champion, Kalos Champion, and so on.

Jinghe felt particularly at ease.

Soon we'll be able to roam the Pokémon world sideways.

You all need to keep up the good work!

in the afternoon.

The second round of the quarterfinals officially kicked off amidst enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

The two opponents are Steven from the Hoenn region and Diantha from the Kalos region.

Since Jinghe's match had already ended, and he knew Daigo well enough, he was invited to the commentary booth to serve as a temporary commentator for this match.

At the referee's signal, the match between the two officially began.

"Go, Aggron!" Steven, maintaining an elegant posture, summoned his first Pokémon, "Wall" Aggron!

"Please, Hawlucha!" And Diantha's first Pokémon was Hawlucha, a Fighting/Flying type.

Judging from the attributes of both sides, Steven's Aggron is at a significant disadvantage, as its four times weakness to Fighting makes it extremely difficult for it to perform well.

But in a real fight, the disadvantages are not as great as imagined.

After all, this isn't a game where you can just look at attributes and numbers.

In the game, Pokémon's stats have an upper limit, and Effort Values ​​(EVs) and Base Stats (RSS) determine a Pokémon's abilities.

In the real world, theoretically, there is no upper limit to the abilities of any Pokémon; the only difference is the price that needs to be paid.

And Daigo.
To be honest, he is one of the people who is least concerned about the consequences.

With the addition of Jinghe and the inherent characteristics of Aggron, it has an extremely exaggerated physical defense capability, while Hawlucha is a physical attack type Pokémon.

"Hawkman, kick him down!" Karuno launched a preemptive attack.

"Aggron, Freeze Punch!"

boom! !

The Hawkman was much faster and more agile than Bosscodora. He slid in and kicked Bosscodora in the leg, causing him to lose his balance and fall.

However, Bosscodora maintained excellent balance and seized the opportunity before falling, delivering a powerful Freeze Punch to the Wrestling Hawkman.

The battle between the two sides officially began after this clash.

But the final result was somewhat unexpected.

"Hawkman, close combat!"

"Boscodora, a major hit!"

This marks yet another direct confrontation between the two sides.
"Hawkman Wrestler and Aggron are both incapacitated!"

It's a tie!
All I can say is that the Hawkman's physique is indeed a bit fragile.

"Daigo has gained the advantage." Jing He, the commentator, was very responsible.

"Huh? Weren't they supposed to lose their fighting ability at the same time? How come Daigo got the advantage?"

"Mr. Jinghe, is your commentary neutral or not?"

Viewers raised questions about this.

But Jinghe stated
"Hawkman is Karuno's assault fighter, and while Aggron is important in Daigo's lineup, its essence is actually to counter the opponent's physical assault fighter."

"This is also why Daigo did not choose to replace Aggron, even though he knew that Aggron was four times weaker to melee attacks."

"Aggron is unable to battle, and Steven has a replacement Pokémon, but Hawlucha might be the only Pokémon in Diantha's team that truly counters all of Steven's Pokémon."

After hearing him say that, the audience felt that it seemed to be true!
In her previous battles, Diantha showcased Pokémon such as Hawlucha, Gardevoir, Goodra, Tyranitar, Gyrocopter, and Pumpkinmon.

Most of these Pokémon are weak to Steel-type Pokémon.

The importance of the wrestling hawk to Karuno's lineup is beyond doubt.

Although Steven is a so-called Steel-type Pokémon specialist trainer, his Pokémon are not limited to Steel-type; he also has Rock-type and Ground-type Pokémon.

The three systems of rock and ground steel are inseparable.

Both Steel and Rock types are weak against Fighting types.

While Diantha, like Cynthia, Jinghe, and Leon, is not a trainer specializing in a single type of Pokémon, her weakness to Steel-type Pokémon is too obvious.

However, in terms of team composition, Karyl is countered by Daigo.

Most importantly, their trump cards are different; Daigo's Metagross has the advantage.

If Diantha had met someone else, things might have been alright, but meeting Daigo was simply bad luck.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Jinghe had predicted.

After Hawkman's defeat, Daigo took control of the overall pace of the match.

As a student of Jinghe, Daigo's control over the rhythm of battles is definitely better than that of his contemporaries in the original work.

Despite Diantha's exceptional performance, it managed to defeat two opponents in a row.

In the end, the invincible Mega Metagross faced off against Mega Gardevoir, and Steven's Mega Metagross Comet Punch left Mega Gardevoir with two bumps on its head.

finally.

Daigo successfully advanced to the semifinals, while Karuno was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

have to say.

The audience thoroughly enjoyed watching both matches today.

Daigo was naturally happy to make it to the semifinals, and Karuno wasn't discouraged at all.

Like Dan Di, this competition has brought her even more support, given her already considerable fame.

It is said that as soon as the competition ended, she received a large number of film offers.

It was another classic case of losing the game but winning against Mane, making Jing He extremely envious.

Good guy.

So he's really only here for the prize money, right?

Night falls.

Da Ye, unusually, didn't come to visit or bother us. He's facing off against Cynthia tomorrow, and the pressure is immense, so he's been preparing for the match all night.

However, Da Ye didn't come; instead, someone who surprised Jing He arrived.

dong dong——

"Gengar, open the door."

Jing He said, nestled on the sofa and flipping through "The Mysteries of the Earth".

"Genga~~"

Gengar, suspended in mid-air with its legs crossed, is scrolling through its phone, "enjoying" the praise and boasting about it online.

Upon hearing Jinghe's words, he quickly put the phone in his mouth and then crouched down by the door.

He poked his head out.

"Genga!!"

suddenly.

Gengar suddenly pulled its head back, as if it had seen a ghost.

"Ouch?"

Seeing its appearance, Ice Nine-Tailed Fox straightened up and slowly stretched out its tail.

in danger?
Jinghe was also somewhat surprised and gave Dragonite a look.

"Woo~~"

Dragonite stood by the door, gesturing to the group of little guys with its eyes.

Three, two, one, open the door!
"it's me!!"

The moment the door opened, Dragonite's clenched fist froze in mid-air, just a hair's breadth away from Professor Oak's head.

A bead of cold sweat slid down Professor Oak's forehead.

Gengar turned around and shrank back into Jinghe's shadow.

So that's what Gengar was afraid of—it turned out to be Professor Oak.
so far so good.

Professor Oak said that if Dragonite really did land a punch, it should be fine.

However, Jinghe quickly noticed the two little devils next to Professor Oak.

He recognized one of them, naturally Professor Oak's grandson, Blue Green, while the other was wearing a baseball cap and a trainer's outfit.
crimson?!
Red Lord?

Green and crimson exchanged a glance, then bowed slightly to Jing He and called out:
"Teacher Jinghe, I'm sorry to bother you."

wipe.

We've really made something of ourselves; even Master Chi calls us "teacher" now.
