Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 574 A-Du: Report! How can I fight two people at once?! (Seeking monthly votes!)

"The 'Young Masters World Championship'?"

In a forest somewhere in the Unova region, a young man wearing a baseball cap and with long blue hair was sitting on a cliff.

Behind him, a giant dragon with a gray-black body stood with its head held high, looking down at the swirling clouds below the mountain, silently standing by his side.

The young man was surrounded by many adorable wild Pokémon.

A bean pigeon flapped its wings and flew onto the young man's hat, looking very friendly, while the four-season deer and kapok ball gathered around it.

This young man is none other than N, who escaped Team Plasma and gained the approval of Zekrom, the ideal dragon!

N smiled and reached out his hand. Doudou Pigeon jumped lightly from his hat to his fingertip, spat out a small green worm from its black mouth, and chirped twice at him as if presenting a treasure.

Seeing this, N looked slightly embarrassed, turned his head to look at Zekrom behind him, and asked in his eyes:
Do you want it?
Czechrom: "."

"Roar--"

Czechrom grumbled irritably, turning his head to the other side to look at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.

If you were a caterpillar, I might tolerate it, but you're just a little green worm.
Anyone who didn't know better would think I was looking for Liekong's great-great-grandson to "vent my anger" on.

N gave an awkward smile, subtly stuffed the little green worm back into Bean Dove's mouth, and then quickly changed the subject.

"I heard that Teacher Jinghe also participated in this competition and has already made it to the finals?"

Are you going?

Czechrom also looked away.

It naturally has a deep impression of Jinghe as well.

N lowered her eyes slightly, "I'd like to go see him."

He still has some things he doesn't understand and hopes to find someone to help him answer them.

call--

Suddenly, Zekrom flapped his wings and flew down the cliff.

Ok?
What are you waiting for?

Upon hearing this, N smiled, gently put down the Beandove in his hand, and leaped off the cliff, disappearing from the sight of the wild Pokémon.

The little ones were stunned and all crouched down to look down the cliff.

Then, the pitch-black Zekrom was seen carrying N, flying away into the distance.

The next day, the weather was fine.

Jinghe yawned as he watched the match between Xilona and Adu with Daye and the others.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Wusong asked upon seeing this.

"No." Jing He waved her hand and yawned again. "I was messing around with Gengar's 'electronic pet'."

Electronic pet?

Wu Song and the others were full of questions.

Giratina played a part in helping his Giratina grow to its current level.

For example, when it came to figuring out the [Gene Wedge] and [Dragon Stone], Gengar would have taken much longer to figure them out without Giratina's help.

This time, with Jinghe, Gengar, Giratina, and the [Gene Wedge] and [Dragon Stone], Gengar actually managed to figure out a little bit of a "trick".

As is well known, the "Gene Wedge" is equivalent to "Fusion" and "Fusion Release".

Gengar learned the ability to combine or fuse Ghost-type energy from Agatha Christie's Gengar.

This time, however, a further breakthrough has been made.

He fused his own Ghost-type energy with the "Combo Style" technique taught by Coach Kuma.

simply put.

Reshiram has a move called "Interlaced Flames," and Zekrom has a move called "Interlaced Lightning." The characteristic of these two moves is...
If an Interlaced Flame is released before an Interlaced Lightning is released, the power of the Interlaced Lightning will be doubled.

vice versa.

This is an alternative way of superimposing and merging the black and white dragons.

From this point of view, Gengar discovered that, hey, these two moves actually fit the "combo style" quite well.

It unleashed a series of attacks, each wave of power like a tidal wave, higher than the last.

The only difference is that this requires both Reshiram and Zekrom to be present and coordinate their release.

Alternatively, it requires Kyurem to combine the powers of Reshiram and Zekrom, switching forms while continuously unleashing these two attacks.

Gengar cannot do this, nor can it unleash legendary Pokémon moves like "Crossfire" or "Cross Lightning".

But.
It can release shadow orbs.

If one isn't enough, use two; if two aren't enough, use three. As long as the power of the Shadow Ball moves can be stacked, that's fine.

It doesn't quite reach the level of doubling the power of "interlaced flames" or "interlaced lightning," but it can still increase the power by fifty percent.

This is my understanding of Gengar, which I'm not yet very proficient with, and it's still based on the "Combo Style Secret Technique" that I've perfected.

As for the role played by Giratina.
Do you not need Ghost-type energy to practice moves?

Isn't this the best power bank?

"It's hard to explain all at once. Maybe next time I'll show you its 'electronic pet'," Jing He said, unsure how else to explain.

Ok?
See "electronic pet"?
Something feels off about this...
Wusong keenly sensed something was amiss.

But before he could speak, Da Ye laughed and said, "No problem, it's just a mere 'pet,' and an electronic one at that."

"Crack!"

Jinghe pressed the record-ending button on her phone.

"Hey, Teacher Jinghe, why are you recording?" Da Ye asked, looking completely bewildered.

"It's nothing, just making a quick note," Jing He said with a smile.

"Oh"

Wu Song, who had already sensed something was amiss, saw Teacher Jing He's smile and immediately realized that his caution had been correct, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

so close
"It's okay, next time there's a chance, I'll go with Wusong and A-Liu." Da Ye patted Wusong's shoulder on the left and then A-Liu's shoulder on the right, and said this.

Wu Song: "."

"Okay." Jing He's smile remained unchanged.

Wusong: Da Ye, you just wait and see!
"They're on the field," A-Liu said seriously.

The thunderous cheers converged in a ring towards the center.

Boom!Boom!
Under the dazzling spotlight, amidst the screams and shouts of the audience, the atmosphere had reached its climax.

"Let us welcome the 'Dragon Messenger' from the Kanto region, Wataru!!!"

In front of the contestants' tunnel, under the spotlight, a red-haired man in a deep red cloak with a serious expression walked out and waved to the audience on both sides.

"Adu brought quite a few cloaks," Jinghe muttered.

Turn your head and look to the other side.

The host's passionate voice continued to echo throughout the venue.

"Next, let's welcome our contestant from the Sinnoh region, Ms. Cynthia!!!"

The cheers were even louder than when A-du had come on stage.

When the stunning blonde beauty appeared under the spotlight, the cheers reached their peak. In terms of pure charisma, Avalon and Cynthia were actually quite evenly matched, but Cynthia's advantage lay in her superior looks.

Moreover, when a woman with delicate features exudes a domineering queen-like aura, she is undoubtedly more eye-catching.

"Genga!!"

Gengar cupped its hands like megaphones and shouted loudly to cheer on Cynthia.

Although it didn't really want to face Cynthia, putting aside the finals, it still preferred Cynthia, who often secretly fed it.

"Terrifying popularity," Jing He clicked her tongue.

Wusong couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

It's one thing if others say it, but Teacher Jinghe, are you saying this in Versailles?

The eldest sister's popularity doesn't seem to be higher than yours.

Behind Wusong, Daye and Aliu had already unfurled a banner—Big Sister, mighty and domineering, charge!

Jinghe and Wusong covered their faces at the same time, trying to pretend they didn't know them.

"Teacher, who do you think will win?" Daigo, who had already finished his match, asked rather casually.

Who can win?
Jing He shook her head. "It's hard to say."

After a pause, he added:

"But in terms of win rate alone, Cynthia is slightly higher. She and Avalon are about 60/40."

"Oh?"

Daigo was somewhat surprised.

He had fought against Lance, but not against Cynthia, so he only knew how strong Lance was.

After all, apart from Teacher Jinghe, who is about the same age as him, everyone else is a few years younger than Adu.

The 60/40 split doesn't mean Jinghe underestimates Adu. Although he always jokingly calls him "Dodo Bird," Jinghe still highly recognizes Adu's abilities.

In the original story, Leon won the Master League, Lance came in second, and Cynthia came in third.

Of course, Jing He was rather dismissive of that Master League event.

Holding the Master League in the Galar region, restricting Dynamax solely to prevent other boosting methods, is just a way of "forcefully promoting" it.
Leon's Dynamax Charizard is indeed very strong, and it is also his greatest strength.

However, this also shows that the difference between Awakening and Cynthia was actually very small.

While there are no restrictions on the enhancement methods in this "Young Masters World Championship", Mega Evolution is undoubtedly the most popular and influential method.

Lance's Dragonite doesn't Mega Evolve, but Cynthia's Garchomp does.

This is the difference between the two of them this time, and it's also why Jinghe believes it's a 60/40 split.

Although Garchomp's speed decreases after Mega Evolution, that's just a game. In reality, Mega Evolution brings enormous benefits.

And A-Du's Mega Evolution is either Charizard or Gyarados, it can't possibly be Aerodactyl, right?

of course.

It cannot be ruled out that Lance used other Pokémon, such as Salamence or Altaria.

However, no matter which Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution, it will definitely not yield as much benefit as Mega Evolution of Cynthia's ace Garchomp.

The cheers on the field grew louder and louder. At the referee's signal, Cynthia and Lance both prepared their Poké Balls.

The second semi-final is about to begin!
Red light flashes.

The ground shook violently.

A ferocious red Gyarados covered in hideous red scales appeared on the field, unleashing a deafening roar of terror.

"Roar--!!!"

"Whoa whoa whoa—!! Lance's first Pokémon is a red Gyarados!!"

This is the red Gyarados that was captured with Jinghe's help. Its physical attributes and size far surpass those of ordinary Gyarados, and the intimidation it brings is also unmatched by ordinary Gyarados.

The show started with Gyarados, a ferocious, brutal, and highly battle-hungry Pokémon, which received high praise from the audience.

Meanwhile, Cynthia, facing the ferocious Gyarados, showed no fear, but instead gently curled the corners of her mouth.

"You guessed right," Cynthia murmured, her crimson lips parting slightly.

Ok?
Awatari seemed to vaguely hear what Cynthia said.

What does it mean to guess so accurately?
"Go ahead." Cynthia threw out the Poké Ball.

"Hiss—smack—!!"

A cloud of black mist, filled with an eerie aura, appeared in the arena.

The host immediately shouted, "Cynthia's first Pokémon is the Sealed Pokémon, Rockruff!!"

"Sizzle!!"

The Flower Rock Monster looked serious, releasing wave after wave of chilling aura.

Gyarados's terrifying "intimidation" didn't seem to have much effect on this guy. On the contrary, the oppressive feeling released by the Rockruff made Gyarados's expression more serious.

in the audience.

"Granita?" Big Leaf was somewhat taken aback. "It seems like Big Sister has never had a first move with Granita before."

Wu Song subconsciously glanced at Teacher Jing He beside him.

Yesterday, cough cough... he also accidentally "eavesdropped" on a little bit of what Teacher Jinghe was saying. Teacher Jinghe predicted Adu's first Pokémon for the eldest sister and gave some advice.

Jing He's gaze also fell upon them, and Wu Song quickly looked away, speaking in a serious manner:
"Well, it makes perfect sense to use the Flower Rock Golem as the first move, given that it only has one weakness to fairies but is immune to three, and has a variety of tactics."

"At least, Lance's Gyarados doesn't have much of an advantage against Big Sister's Rockruff."

It's not just that they have no advantages.

Rockruff is a guy who received some of Jinghe's "true teachings." With a single Will-O-Wisp attack, it can make Gyarados suffer. Then, combined with skills like Foul Play, Misfortune, Hypnosis, Shared Pain, and Destiny Bond, it can easily defeat Gyarados.
"The battle begins!"

"Huayan monster, will-o'-the-wisp!"

"Gyarados, Dragon Dance!"

Dragon's rage value +1
“We can guarantee a one-for-one trade with Rockruff. If we trade it for Gyarados, it’s a win either way,” Jing He said, resting his chin on his hand and yawning.

The two Pokémon have different tactical roles.

Rockruff is a good defensive and distraction unit. Replacing Gyarados, one of the main offensive cores, is a huge win, isn't it?

Of course, how the match will turn out depends on how well the two players perform.

At this moment, Awakening also felt a sense of "familiarity" with Cynthia's command of the Rockruff in battle.

Isn't this part of Jinghe Gengar's strategy?
He immediately recalled what Cynthia had muttered before the start of the match and understood.

Adu: Report this! How can someone fight two opponents at once?! They actually have a Sarafenhe behind them!
Cough
This is a joke.

Even with a stronger opponent, A-Du won't feel frustrated; instead, he'll become even more excited and focused.

The stronger it is, the more excited I get!

"You've suffered, Flower Rock Monster, let me share your pain!"

"Sizzle—!!"

After Jinghe's "tutoring," Huayanguai clearly understood his role on the field.

The more pain you experience, the more excited we become!
A-Du: "."
