Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 568 It's a divine beast after all! (Seeking monthly votes!)
After another day of rest, the weather was fine and sunny, with not a cloud in the sky.

Feiyun Arena in Feiyun City, a huge stadium that can accommodate nearly 100,000 spectators, was packed to capacity.

The semifinals of the "Young Masters World Championship" are about to begin in this arena.

The terrifying momentum transformed into wave after wave of sound, the shouts reverberating throughout the arena as the audience unleashed their anticipation for the competition and their support for the athletes.

"A battle between Master Jinghe and Daigo, a battle between master and disciple."

Da Ye, who had already been eliminated in the quarterfinals, sat with Xiluona, Wusong, and A Liu.

His expression didn't show much disappointment at losing the game; instead, he seemed to be enjoying the show.

It's a battle between master and disciple.

A battle second only to the war between husband and wife, just thinking about it is exciting.

Many things that Wusong had told him flashed through Da Ye's mind.

Many of the rivalries between master and disciple in "historical anecdotes" can even be described as "battles to kill the master," and so on.

"I really don't know who's better, Teacher Jinghe or Dawu-san," Wusong said.

Then they all looked at Cynthia.

They discovered she was eating ice cream, licking it in small bites, seemingly oblivious to what they were saying.

Having failed in his challenge to the "boss's" position, Daye was completely oblivious to the challenger's perspective and immediately asked for Cynthia's opinion.

"Big Sister, waaaaaah!"

But before he could say anything, Wusong covered his mouth.

"Didn't you see the boss is eating ice cream? Don't bother her!" Wu Song said in a low voice.

"Woo?"

"You've known the boss for so long, you must know that she eats ice cream when she's in a good mood, she eats ice cream when she's in a bad mood, and she eats ice cream even more when she's stressed or has worries, right?"

Da Ye blinked.

Isn't that what you've been eating all along?

Is it that frequent?

And Wusong, aren't you observing a little too closely?

Da Ye couldn't get the question out because his mouth was covered, but Wu Song quickly continued:

"But no matter when, disturbing the boss's ice cream is fine if nothing happens, but if the ice cream falls..."

"What will happen?" Da Ye pried Wu Song's hand away.

Wu Song raised his head slightly, a look of sorrow on his face. "It was a cold autumn day, the first time I met the boss."

"So, between Jinghe and Daigo, who will win?"

As Wusong was reminiscing and feeling sentimental, an unfamiliar voice sounded beside him.

The group turned their heads and looked over, only to find that...
"King Genji?!"

It's Genji, the Heavenly King! What's he doing in Unova?

"I heard that Jinghe and Daigo are going to fight. I happened to be at sea without any missions, so I drifted over here," Genji said with a laugh.

It's floating over here?
You must have a lot of free time.

But Wusong seemed to see the future, the future of Daye, and his own future.

Genji smacked his lips twice.

"Jinghe, Daigo, and Mikey, sigh, there are always all sorts of troubles," he said, looking like he was experiencing "happy troubles."

It was at this time that Kikuno, the King of Sinnoh, was absent, which made Genji feel a little less pretentious.

But Gosho and Daigo still understood the meaning behind Genji's words.

Isn't it just bragging about how amazing Teacher Jinghe and Daigo are?

"Hmph, it's still hard to say whether Teacher Jinghe will belong to your Hoenn." Wusong glanced at Cynthia and muttered to himself.

Aside from King Kikuno, he was probably the person who most wanted Jinghe to join the Sinnoh League.

As far as Wusong knew, he didn't know about other regions, but in Sinnoh, after the "Young Masters World Championship" ended, the Sinnoh League would undergo a generational change.

He was certain of this because the Sinnoh League itself implemented a policy of making its top leadership younger.

perhaps
"Here we come, Daigo-san!"

Cheers erupted from the stands.

Daigo, dressed in a formal suit, walked out of the players' tunnel, and the cheers around him did not affect the gentle smile on his face at all.

He had been looking forward to this match for far too long. Finally, he could fight his teacher, and the outcome was no longer important.

He just wanted to show Teacher Jinghe the bond between him and his Pokémon, and to show Teacher Jinghe what he was like now that he was no longer confused.

"Next, let's welcome our fellow contestant from the Hoenn region, Teacher Jinghe!!!"

A suit somewhat similar to Daigo's, a top hat of moderate height, and his signature monocle; if he were to add a cane, he would probably look even more stylish.

"Teacher Jinghe is so handsome!"

"Mr. Daigo! Ms. Jinghe! I'm doomed, I don't know what to choose!"

"Remember this: if there's a scenic view, choose that view; if there's no scenic view, choose me!"

"."

Amidst cheers and spotlights, Jinghe and Dawu walked to opposite sides of the battlefield.

In the semifinals, the venue is no longer random but a fixed, ordinary venue, which reduces the impact of the venue on the battle.

Without having fought each other, it's impossible to give a precise assessment of their relative strengths.

However, it is still possible to analyze the types of Pokémon that the two prepared, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each other's types.

"Overall, as long as Teacher Jinghe makes good use of the abilities of the two Pokémon, Azure Blade and Urshifu, he will have a relatively good advantage when facing Steven." Lorelei pushed up her glasses slightly.

The Fire-type Blademaster is more dangerous to Steven's Steel-type Pokémon.

However, Steven's Pokémon are not limited to Steel-type; Rock and Ground-type Pokémon can also pose a threat to the Fire-type Blademaster.

The Fighting-type Urshifu poses a significant threat to most Steel and Rock-type Pokémon.

Therefore, in the final analysis, the use of martial arts bear masters is very important.

“But Daigo isn’t without his advantages, at least Jinghe’s Ice Nine-Tails will have a tough time,” Adu said with a smile, leaning against the railing.

Ice-type and Fairy-type Ninetales are 4x weak to Steel, making them easy targets for Steven.

But to Kona, these words carried a hint of being targeted.

"laugh--"

Kona scoffed, turned her head away, and ignored the guy.

Adu shook his head, not wanting to argue with her, but couldn't help muttering, "Old woman."
Kona suddenly turned around.

"Dodo bird, don't run away if you dare!"

"See you!"

On the field.

"Please get ready, both contestants!" The referee, dressed in protective suits and riding a Shielded Swordsman, signaled to the two contestants.

"teacher."

Daigo smiled broadly, clutching a Poké Ball in his hand. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Please, you absolutely must not hold anything back!"

Jinghe thought to herself, "I never expected you, Daiwu, to have such a rebellious streak."

However, he also took out his first Poké Ball and nodded slightly, saying:

"Attack with all your might, Daigo!"

Since they were going to fight anyway, Jinghe's spirit was no less than that of Dawu, who was eager to challenge him.

Upon hearing this, Daigo's eyes narrowed, his smile widened, and he threw out his Poké Ball without hesitation.

"Then, this is it! Go, Cradle Lily!"

Appearing amidst the red light is a green Pokémon that looks remarkably like a plant.

Its head, neck, and torso have different patterns of yellow markings. Below the crescent-shaped opening are its eyes. Eight pink tentacles are wrapped around the base of its head. Its four seemingly short and thick legs seem to firmly attach it to the ground.

"Cradle, a barnacle Pokémon, Rock/Grass type, is Roto, the fossil Pokémon that was recently discovered to have been revived!"

This is the Lily of the Tentacles that Daigo asked Jinghe for help with his psychological issues. It has now evolved into Cradle Lily and is considered one of Daigo's main Pokémon.

However, this was the first time Daigo had summoned Cradle Lily during this "Young Masters World Championship"; he hadn't summoned it during his previous battle against Karuno.

Is this a hidden scheme specifically designed to target me?
Well, Daigo, you've been plotting to "get rid of" your teacher?

"Gurgle."

Cradle Lily seemed to be in a good mood when she saw Jing He, gently swaying her body and appearing quite lively.

Back when I was just a tentacle yuri, I would curl up whenever I saw a stranger.

But now, even in such a large venue and under the gaze of so many spectators, Cradle Lily shows no sign of stage fright.

It has grown up quite a bit now.

Jinghe was quite pleased with this.

Immediately.

He also threw out the Poké Ball that he had already caught in his hand.

The Pokémon that will appear next is Urshifu!

"Roar!!"

As soon as the imposing martial arts master Xiong appeared on the field, he couldn't help but roar. He transformed one hand into a palm and the other into a fist, and a wave of energy burst out as they collided.

They've finally made their appearance!
The current martial arts master Xiong is filled with boundless energy, both in mind and body.

From the perspective of attributes alone, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Cradle Lily is twice as weak to Fighting, while Urshifu is twice as weak to Grass, so each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

But Jinghe, who understands Cradle Lily's characteristics, knows that the attribute advantage lies with Daigo and Cradle Lily.

Because the Cradle Lily's characteristic is "water-drawing"!
[Water Absorption: Pokémon with this ability are unaffected by Water-type moves, and when hit by a Water-type move, their Special Attack is raised by 1 stage.]

This is critical.

After all, Martial Arts Bear Master's Water Flow Combo is also a water-based move, just a continuous water-based move.

Seeing that both players were ready, the referee made the official announcement.

"The battle begins!"

The semifinals of the "Young Masters World Championship" have officially begun!
"Cradle Lily, Sandstorm!" Daigo waved his hand, immediately seizing the initiative and taking control of the weather.

The fact that both Qibana and Dandi fought against Teacher Jinghe taught everyone a lesson: never give up the initiative to Teacher Jinghe, otherwise it will be very difficult to fight, and you may even completely lose your rhythm.

While taking the initiative might be countered or read beforehand, at least it doesn't mean you completely lose the initiative.

"Gurgle."

Cradle Lily swayed gently, and a fierce sandstorm immediately swirled throughout the entire arena, with yellow sand flying everywhere.

If there were observant viewers at this moment, they might have noticed that the Cradle Lily's feet have countless tiny but densely packed roots that have deeply penetrated the entire ground.

Countless drops of water were drawn up by the tentacle lilies along their roots, instantly making the area incredibly dry, even causing fine cracks to appear.

Draw water!

The dry conditions, coupled with the influence of Cradle Lilies, amplified the sandstorm, making it sting the skin.

Others might not have noticed this scene, but Jinghe, who taught Daigo this method, naturally did.

He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Did they really use it right in front of me?

"Sandstorm? Is Daigo-san starting to use the weather too?"

"But... when it comes to weather, isn't Teacher Jinghe's Ice Nine-Tailed Fox invincible?"

The commentator for this match was A-Du, who ran off after chatting with Kona, so his opinion naturally differed from that of the audience.

"No, Jinghe won't replace his Ice Ninetales, because this Sandstorm is Steven's open scheme. If he replaced Ice Ninetales, Steven would definitely replace it with Metagross or Aggron immediately. He is certain that Jinghe will not replace it."

Ice Nine-Tail is four times weaker than Steel, so if you bring it in at this time, it's easy to lose your rhythm.

It was precisely because he was certain that Jinghe would not be replaced that Daigo chose to start with a sandstorm.

Just as Jinghe understands Daigo very well, Daigo, as a student, also understands Jinghe very well.

The fact is, Jing He really didn't intend to replace him; he simply gave the instructions:
"Martial Arts Bear Master, Sword Dance!"

"Hoo!"

Despite being covered in grains of sand that looked like sharp spikes, the excitement on Martial Arts Master Xiong's face did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it grew even stronger.

It adopted a free-fighting stance, bouncing on the ground with its feet one in front of the other.

The faint clanging sound of sword blades echoed from his body, and his aura surged wildly.

Martial Arts Master Xiong's eyes gradually sharpened.

replace?

No need!
It hasn't appeared for a long time, have we all almost forgotten that it is a mythical beast after all!
