Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 587 Torturing Crimson? We'd better do it sooner rather than later! (Seeking monthly votes!)

The athletes' village.

"Teacher Jinghe seems to be in a good mood?"

Chi Hong looked at Jing He, who had returned with a big smile on her face, and spoke softly.

"After all, winning the championship means that this year's 'Young Masters World Championship' is probably the most prestigious championship in its history."

Qinglu, however, had her own "understanding" of this.

Crimson nodded thoughtfully.

I wonder how competitive his cohort will be when he's qualified to participate in the World Junior Masters Championship.

but
One thing is certain: Qinglu will be among his opponents.

"Huh? You guys."

When Jinghe returned, she found Qinglu and Chihong standing at the door, and Professor Oak standing behind them.

Red looked serious, holding a Poké Ball in his hand, and solemnly said:
"Please accept my challenge, Teacher Jinghe!"

"And I!"

Green also took out a Poké Ball.

Only then did Jing He recall that it seemed that these two little guys had challenged him midway through the competition, but he had brushed it off.

Unexpectedly, as soon as that competition ended, they couldn't wait to come and challenge again.
Crimson! Green!
"Hahaha—" Professor Oak's laughter was still hearty. "Jing He, they now see you as their idol."

idol?

These two?

Jinghe could even foresee it.

Once you agree to fight these two, the challenges will be endless. If neither of them wins, it will be a challenge every time you meet them!
No way! We're not Ash Ketchum. Occasional battles are fine, but daily battles drain a lot of Pokémon's stamina, and they're expensive!
But it seems he's already agreed?
How about adding some water?
Jing He rubbed his chin thoughtfully a couple of times.

We can't exactly send Gengar to fight them, can we?

They seem to have only just started their journey, and using Gengar is too much of a rip-off.

After a moment's thought, Jing He put on a serious expression and asked, "Are you all ready?"

"Ready!"

The two spoke in unison, then looked at each other with some surprise, and finally snorted at the same time before turning their heads away.

With such synchronized movements, I wouldn't believe you two aren't related.

"it is good."

The training ground behind the athletes' village.

"Then I'll temporarily act as the referee," Professor Oak said cheerfully.

Not many people knew that Teacher Jinghe was going to accept the challenge from the two kids, but because Daye and the others lived nearby, they found out.

"Wusong, I have experience in this area. Here, take this ice pack. Apply it to your face and you'll feel better tomorrow."

On the bench, Da Ye casually handed Wu Song an ice pack.

Wu Song's cheek twitched, but he still took it.

"And tell me, who are these two brats?" Da Ye asked again.

"They seem to be admirers of Teacher Jinghe, and Teacher Jinghe seems to think highly of them too," Wusong said, grimacing as he put the ice pack to his face.

"Is the teacher going to give them some pointers?" Daigo noticed the commotion and came to the training ground.

"should be."

As a well-known teacher, Teacher Jinghe is truly "dedicated and responsible".

Despite being the champion of the "Young Masters World Championship", he has no airs whatsoever.
They have the potential to become regional champions!

"Judging from their relationship with Professor Oak, they seem to be from the Kanto region?" Awatari deduced this from their connection with Professor Oak.

Those who can be valued by Jinghe must be young people with outstanding potential.
A-Du became more serious.

"Each player can use one Pokémon at a time. The battle ends when one player's Pokémon is unable to battle," Professor Oak explained the rules of the battle in a simple way.

In fact, in many cases, there are no rules to be said in trainer battles.

It's like when card dealers meet, they make eye contact and start drawing cards.

Trainers too.

They made eye contact, and the battle began.

"I'll go first!" Chi Hong, full of fighting spirit, was the first to apply.

Green stood to the side with its hands in its pockets, showing no intention of competing with Crimson.

It's a good idea to let Red test the waters first. He can better observe the Pokémon used by Teacher Jinghe, as well as his attitude and tactics towards them.

In terms of combat, cyan is much more rational than crimson.

"Okay." Jing He stood smiling beside the battlefield and nodded slightly.

It's also a good opportunity to see how well the Crimson and Cyan are performing in combat.

As the "elder," it was essential to send out a Pokémon first, so Jinghe threw out a Poké Ball.

"Go, Youngkiras."

"Yo-yo-yo!!"

With a flash of red light, Young Gilas, clad in a dark green shell, excitedly appeared in the arena, appearing almost hyperactive.

As expected, this kind of "important" challenge is where I need to step in!
Young Gilas put his hands on his hips and waved to the crimson figure opposite him.

"Yo-yo!"

Hey kid, bring it on!
As for Jinghe summoning Larvitar, apart from Red and Red, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Of all the characters, Red actually wants to challenge Jinghe's Gengar the most.

Once I defeat Larvitar, I can challenge Gengar again, Red thought.

At the same time, he also took out a Poké Ball.

"Go, Bulbasaur!"

"Dah!"

A Pokémon that stands on four legs, looks like a frog, and has a bright green garlic seed on its back (crossed out) appeared in the field.

Bulbasaur!

He's known by his nickname—Garlic Turtle!
Grass-type and Poison-type Pokémon are the starter Pokémon of the Kanto region. This red Bulbasaur is clearly derived from Professor Oak.

"Grass type? It has a four-fold advantage against Larvitar. Looks like you've learned the basic type advantages quite well," Wusong commented.

Red is not Ash after all, and its basic abilities in these aspects are much stronger than Ash's.

Although he can be reckless at times, at least he has the confidence to be reckless.

"What a pity." Da Ye shook his head.

Everyone instinctively looked at him, wondering what he was "regretting".

"It's a pity that she has to face Teacher Jinghe at such a young age."

Well.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, everyone nodded in deep agreement.

Jinghe's Larvitar, although it's in its unevolved form, is indeed a Pokémon that has participated in the Masters Tournament. Don't underestimate it.
After seeing that both of them had summoned their Pokémon, Professor Oak produced two flags from somewhere and suddenly dropped them.

"The battle begins!"

"Bulbasaur, Leech Seed!"

Facing Jing He, Chi Hong showed no fear whatsoever, and even took the initiative without hesitation.

"That's quite impressive," A-Du exclaimed.

"Dah!"

Bulbasaur crouched down, aimed the seed on its back at Larvitar, and fired a seed that landed precisely on Larvitar.

It worked!
Both Crimson and Bulbasaur showed some excitement.

Upon contact with the young Gilas, the seed quickly took root and sprouted, then wrapped itself around the young Gilas.

Although it doesn't cause much obstruction or damage, the seed continuously draws energy from Larva and feeds it back to Bulbasaur.

"Yo-yo?"

Young Gilas scratched his head, looked down at the vines that had sprouted from his abdomen, and looked puzzled.

Is this some kind of bondage game?
Jinghe smiled and said, "Our baby Gilas has been training its resistance to Grass-type moves since it was a baby."

"Younggilas, Dragon Dance!"

"Yo-yo!!"

Upon hearing Jing He's command, Young Gilas immediately suppressed his thoughts and roared fiercely, his aura beginning to rise. Seeing this, Crimson immediately shouted:
"Bulbasaur, Vine Whip, interrupt it!"

"Dah!"

Swiftly—

Two dark green vines emerged from beneath Bulbasaur's seed and lashed out swiftly toward Larvitar.

"Catch it."

"Yo-yo!"

Faced with the vine whips, Young Gilas neither dodged nor evaded, but opened its mouth with a "whoosh" and bit one of them.

crimson:"???"

Why do Ground and Rock type Pokémon seem to ignore type advantages and disadvantages?
"Da na!!"

But Bulbasaur felt the pain and cried out in surprise.

"Tap hard!"

Young Gilas, while biting the vine, lifted its foot and landed seemingly lightly.

Boom——! !

The ground suddenly shook, and a crack spread from beneath its feet, rapidly shattering towards Bulbasaur.

"Get out of the way!"

Bulbasaur tried to dodge, but Larvitar bit its vine whip.

boom! ! !
A surge of Ground-type energy gathered beneath Bulbasaur's feet, then exploded with a "bang," sending up a cloud of dust.

The green-eyed man beside him twitched slightly.

You call this a heavy step?

Isn't this an earthquake?

"Bulbasaur!!" Red shouted.

Amidst thick smoke and rubble.

"Da, da na—!!!"

The sound of Bulbasaur stumbling and stammering came from behind.

Jinghe raised her eyebrows slightly.

Didn't it sell instantly?
Adu and the others also showed surprise.

After exchanging a single blow, they were able to discern the level difference between Bulbasaur and Larvitar.

The red Bulbasaur hasn't evolved yet because it hasn't reached the evolution level.

Teacher Jinghe's Larvitar hasn't evolved yet because Teacher Jinghe hasn't given it an evolution yet.
"Da na!!!"

boom! !

The rocks scattered instantly, and Bulbasaur staggered out, its body glowing with a bright green light, its eyes unusually serious.

"Don't give up, Bulbasaur!"

Overgrowth trait, triggered!

hum-

suddenly.

A dazzling white light suddenly emanated from Bulbasaur's body, and its form changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jinghe and Young Gilas also stopped what they were doing.

Is this evolution?

It hadn't been long since it battled Teacher Jinghe, and the crimson Bulbasaur had already evolved?!

His rosy cheeks flushed slightly, his fists clenched, and his eyes were full of excitement.

Evolve, Bulbasaur!

When the white light of evolution faded, what appeared before everyone's eyes was none other than Bulbasaur's evolved form, Ivysaur!
Its body still glowed with an even more intense emerald green fluorescence.

"This kid," Da Ye said with interest, "is quite interesting."

"Well done, Bulbasaur! Razor Leaf!"

"Dah!"

rustling-

With a sudden jolt, Bulbasaur's body sent a barrage of sharp leaves flying out and sweeping towards Larvitar.

Nourishes—

One of the leaves brushed against Young Gilas's body, making a sound like a blade scraping against a whetstone, and a white mark appeared on Young Gilas's body.

"What?!" The crimson eyes widened in surprise.

That's a Grass-type move! And Bulbasaur has already evolved into Ivysaur, yet it only left a mark on Larvitar?
"Yo-yo!!"

Feeling the pain, Young Gilas cried out, but the excitement in his eyes grew even stronger.

It hurts! It hurts!
That's more like it!
This is starting to get interesting!
The intense gaze of the young Gilas sent a chill down the spine of the crimson Bulbasaur.

Is this guy on the other end of the line normal?
Jinghe rested her chin on her hand and gently rubbed it twice.

It seems that Larvitar's physical defense can be further improved.

Iron Wall is a pretty good move; I wonder if the little guy can make it a regular move.
My thoughts return to the battle.

"Youngkiras, stomp your foot!"

boom! ! !
The ground exploded open again, creating a huge crack, much larger than before, which Bulbasaur couldn't dodge.

Boom! ! !

The cracks in the ground swallowed up the Fiery Venusaur.

The green-clad figure beside him took a deep breath.

understood.

A heavy stomp is like an earthquake; a stamping foot is like the ground cracking.

Teacher Jinghe does indeed like to deliberately call out weaker moves during matches.

To have mastered these two moves, it seems that Teacher Jinghe's Larvitar is at a high level, and it certainly has a lot of talent in Ground-type moves.
"Bulbasaur, unable to battle!" Professor Oak announced the result.

Ultimately, even after evolving, Bulbasaur was unable to defeat Larvitar.

hum-

Red recalled Bulbasaur, saying, "You did a great job."

In just one short exchange, he immediately felt the huge gap between himself and Teacher Jinghe.

This is something you can only truly feel after playing against someone; you can't experience it as vividly as you would while watching.

clap clap-

Da Ye clapped his hands. He admired Chi Hong's courage in challenging Teacher Jing He and his unwavering enthusiasm during the battle.

Give him some time, and he will surely achieve great things in the future.

clap clap-

The others also applauded.

Even in just one encounter, they could see Crimson's potential.

His undiminished fighting spirit after defeat, and even his increasingly determined gaze, indicate that he will achieve great things in the future.

"Thank you, Teacher Jinghe." Chi Hong bowed deeply to Jinghe.

Jing He smiled and waved his hand.

Torture Crimson?
We need to do it as soon as possible.
In just the first match, Bulbasaur evolved into Ivysaur.
In the future, Red's Venusaur will be... a bit overpowered.

Give him another year, and the difficulty of the battles will probably be completely different.

Red held the Poké Ball, mentally reviewing the battle that had just taken place.

Do juvenile giras bite the vine whip?

Using teeth to block the damage from the vine whip?
It must be admitted that...

After watching Jinghe's battles over this period of time, and having just fought against him, he has gained many new insights and perspectives on Pokémon battles.

Sometimes, you can't be bound by rigid rules in battle; you have to learn to use various conditions and methods flexibly.
He quickly realized something.

For example, rubber can insulate against electric current.
