Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 604 VS Aldak, Too Crystallized! (Seeking monthly votes!)
"Looks like it's our turn to make an appearance, Jinghe."

Adek, who was sitting at the tea table, suddenly stood up and said.

The announcer's voice could be heard from inside the arena, followed by shouts from the Blueberry Academy students.

Although the Blueberry Academy's arena is far smaller than the "Young Masters World Championship" arena, the students' enthusiasm and cheers are no less.

Following the instructions of the staff, the two walked to the two contestant passages on either side.

Meanwhile, Wanlong, Duruo, Ziyu, and Chisong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the VIP room, taking in the entire arena.

"Who is stronger, Teacher Jinghe or Champion Adek?" Chishong asked excitedly, full of anticipation for the upcoming "battle of the century".

"It should be the Adeike champion," Ziyu said somewhat uncertainly.

Although she had fought against Teacher Jinghe and lost completely, she realized the gap in strength between herself and Teacher Jinghe.

But Mr. Aldeck is, after all, the champion of the United League.

And "champion" means "the strongest".

Of course, what one says and what one hopes for might differ, but Ziyu still supports Teacher Jinghe a bit more.

Du Ruo, standing beside him, had shaken off her previous dejection and looked particularly serious.

Despite his usual laziness, he displayed a remarkably good attitude when facing challenges; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the champion of the Blueberry League at Blueberry Academy.

"Adek champions," Du Ruo said decisively.

As Shaka's grandson, Du Ruo had witnessed Adeker's strength.

Moreover, although both are "champions" with slightly different prefixes, he still believes Mr. Ardek is stronger.

The three of them turned to look at Wanlong.

As a prospective member of the Unified Alliance's Four Heavenly Kings, and practically a shoo-in for the next Four Heavenly Kings, Wanlong is probably the one among those present with the most ambitious vision.

Noticing their gaze, Wanlong opened her mouth.

She had originally intended to say Adek, but then she thought of what she had seen in the Cave of the Giants.
Wanlong pursed her lips and shook her head. "Not sure."

uncertain?
Even the next Four Heavenly Kings are unsure whether Mr. Aldeck or Mr. Jinghe is stronger.
Everyone looked at each other.

"Let's welcome our two special guests for this Blueberry League intramural competition!!"

The host's voice resounded throughout the venue.

"First and foremost, we are the champions of the United States, our invincible—Champion Aldace!!!"

boom! !

The crowd erupted in cheers. The spotlight fell, and a platform on one side of the field slowly rose up. Aldek, arms crossed, smiled as six Poké Balls hung around his neck.

"Aderc Champion!!"

The students at Blueberry Academy shouted.

For the vast majority of students from the Unova region, their ultimate goal is to stand on the stage of the Unova League Championship Challenge and face off against the champion, Alder!
That's their goal!

It's no exaggeration to say that Adek's arrival greatly inspired the students at Blueberry Academy.

Even someone as lazy as Du Ruo longed to fight Adek.

Aldridge didn't act like a league champion at all, smiling and waving to the students in the stands.

"Next, let's welcome the champion of this 'Young Masters World Championship,' Teacher Jing He!!"

Wow——! ! !
Most students were unaware that Jing He was one of the guests in the opening performance of this intra-school competition, as it was a last-minute addition to the program.

They thought that Duro would be playing an exhibition match against the Ardek champion.

"Teacher Jinghe!! It's actually Teacher Jinghe!!"

As the platform gradually rose, Jing He, wearing a monocle, came into view, and the cheers immediately became even more enthusiastic.

The students at Blueberry Academy were certainly no strangers to Jing He; in fact, some knew more about Teacher Jing He than they knew about the Adek champion.

After all, these are all part of the same "system".

Teacher Jinghe is a well-known "star teacher", the top (crossed out) signboard of the Kanaz Pokémon Academy.

Listening to the host's introduction, Jinghe felt that something was off.

Can the champion of the "Young Masters World Championship" be the same as the league champion?

We're not trying to scam you.
Because it's an exhibition match, and a one-on-one one at that, there are no so-called "winner" or "loser" rules, so there's no need for a referee. The host can decide whether the match starts or not.

Facing Jing He, the young trainer he had the highest hopes for recently, Adek showed no disdain as a senior or elder, only respect and seriousness.

He wanted to know.

What exactly is the reason that Jinghe has grown to this level in such a short period of time?

This is what he, as the champion of the Unova League, wants to explore and pursue, which will benefit his development of young people in the Unova region.

Of course, if Jinghe could stay with Hezhong, then none of this would be necessary, and he could retire.

Jinghe had already given some thought to herself when facing Adek.

Facing the champion, is Gui Gui still the best?
"Please, our two guests, summon your respective Pokémon!" the host announced.

Jing He tilted her head slightly and pouted, saying:
"Go, Gengar!"

Black mist drifted out from his shadow, transforming into a shadow that quickly swept across the field, and then Gengar, wearing sunglasses, leaped out.

"Genga! (▼O▼)/"

Ta-da!! Gui Gui makes her dazzling entrance!
A tongue swiftly extended, rolled up and tucked away the sunglasses on his face, and looked at Adek with his signature smile.

"哓GA!"

come on!

Looking at Gengar's smile and then at Jinghe's smile, Adeker's smile deepened.

What a wonderful pair they are! The purest bond between a trainer and their Pokémon is perfectly embodied in this relationship, reminding Alder of his deceased partner.

However, Alder quickly adjusted his mindset and looked intently at Jinghe and Gengar.

"Jing He".

He reached around and took a Poké Ball from the pendant around his neck. "We won't hold back!"

As he spoke, a rare glint seemed to ignite in his eyes, and he threw out a Poké Ball.

"Go forth, embodiment of the sun, Vulcan Moth!!"

Bear!!

As soon as it appeared, an incredibly hot wave swept across the entire area, and sparks of fire scattered with each flap of the fire moth's wings, as if the air itself were about to be ignited.

"Vulcan Moth! It's Ardek Champion's ace, Vulcan Moth!"

"This...this momentum. This heatwave."

"Is this the strength of a league champion?"

The audience gasped in surprise, many of them seeing Volcarona for the first time and were deeply impressed.

Not to mention that they were seeing the champion's ace Pokémon, which left an indelible mark of "power" on their minds from the very first encounter.

"Genga."

Upon seeing Volcarona, Gengar's expression immediately turned serious.

This one is even stronger than the one we encountered in the "Ancient City"!
Jing He's expression also turned somewhat serious.

Tsk, it's just an exhibition match, and Mr. Alder actually sent out Volcarona! If they don't lose within the time limit, they've succeeded! Gengar, this is a genuine Champion Ace. Now let's see how far you are from becoming a Champion Ace.
As the host announced the start of the exhibition match in a high-pitched voice, a huge countdown appeared on the big screen.

"Jinghe, show us your strength!"

Unlike before, Aldak shouted and commanded, "Vulcan, Dance of Fire!"

Facing Teacher Jinghe, the champion surprisingly took the initiative first!
"Woo——"

The fire moth flapped its three pairs of fiery red wings, which seemed to radiate sunlight, and its body rapidly rose higher, scattering countless phosphorus powders.

Bear!!

In an instant.

All the phosphorus powder ignited, transforming into tiny fire moths that danced and swirled, creating a wave of heat that seemed to distort space as it swept towards Gengar.

At the same time, a flame rose from the Volcano Moth's body and quickly receded, but its momentum continued to rise, showing no sign of declining.

[Fire Dance: Volcarona's signature move, which engulfs its entire body in flames and attacks the opponent with a flap of its wings, sometimes raising its Special Attack!]

This is one of Volcarona's signature moves, which can both attack and enhance itself!

Just now, Volcarona's special attack has been upgraded by one level!
Faced with these moths of all sizes fluttering their wings and flying towards him, Gengar kept a tense expression, sensing a strong sense of threat.

"Surprise attack!"

"哓GA!"

Gengar stretched out its hand and made a slash in front of it, creating an opening. It then immediately darted inside and disappeared from the field.

Seeing this, Adek smiled slightly and called out again, "Butterfly Dance!"

"Woo——"

The fire moth rapidly flapped its wings again, performing a uniquely rhythmic dance in the air at an extremely fast speed. Its overall state and momentum actually increased once more as the dance continued.

[Butterfly Dance: Performs a graceful and beautiful dance, raising the user's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed ​​by 1 stage!]

The champion is indeed a champion. Although Adek is old, his reaction speed is not slow at all.

Seeing that Fire Dance missed and Gengar disappeared from sight, the first thing to do was to use Quiver Dance to boost its stats.

Whether Gengar ambushes or dodges, for Volcarona, as long as it can use Quiver Dance, the damage it might take and the buffs it gains are a worthwhile trade-off.

And
Shila-

Behind Volcarona, a thin dotted line appeared, quickly opening up, resembling a Gengar sneaking out of a dimension, trying to interrupt Volcarona's Butterfly Dance.

"Dance of Fire!" Adek laughed.

Bear!!

Almost instantly, where Gengar appeared, or rather, around Volcarona, a large area of ​​flames rose up, and the moths danced and formed a barrier.

While Volcarona uses Whirl Dance, it doesn't stop sprinkling phosphorus powder everywhere. As long as Gengar dares to appear, a little flame can ignite all the phosphorus powder surrounding Volcarona, turning it into the best fire defense.

but.

Gengar was not burned by the flames because the dimensional rift that opened swallowed up some of the flames created by Volcarona!
A gap was opened in space within the flame barrier of the Volcano!
"Bring it to you!"

"哓GA!"

A cunning glint flashed in Gengar's eyes as it hid beside the dimensional rift. From the shadowy corner of Volcarona, four or five tiny shadow bats trembled and flew out.

"There is no shadow under the sun, Volcano!" Upon seeing this, Aldak clenched his fist.

"Woo!!"

The three pairs of six wings of the Volcano moth shimmered with an incredibly dazzling light, and the black spots on them were like sunspots.
Under the bright light, the Shadow Bat that Gengar had "stolen" turned into wisps of smoke and eventually disappeared without a trace.

Ok?
You can even extinguish "Shadow Steal"?
However, while Gengar didn't receive the boost from Volcarona, Volcarona also failed to retain that power.

Both sides seem to have returned to square one once again.

"Evenly matched?" Du Ruo looked surprised.

He actually felt that the two sides were evenly matched!
real or fake?

“No, strictly speaking, the initiative is still in the hands of the Ardek champion,” Wanlong said, shaking his head.

Having the initiative means controlling the pace.

However, Teacher Jinghe has always disliked losing control of the rhythm during a match, as it's not sustainable.
"Vulcan Moth, dance the fire once more, and then unleash the heat!" Alder was certainly not one to give up the rhythm.

"Woo!!"

The fire moths flew again, even more than before. They swirled and danced in the intense heat, growing larger and denser, before surging towards Gengar once more.

even.

The heatwave and the light combined to dispel all the shadows around Gengar in a short time!

No shadows!

There would be no dimensions!

The fire moth brings warmth and light, shattering all darkness with its flames!
The audience watching this scene couldn't help but swallow hard.

"So, so strong! Ardek champions really gave it their all!"

"Even the shadows have been completely eliminated, this..."

What would Teacher Jinghe do?

How to do it?
Jinghe adjusted her monocle, feeling the heatwave, and inwardly complained.
This is absolutely unreasonable. Interrupting "Shadow Steal" is one thing, but now you've even wiped out the shadow. This is against basic principles!
no solution anymore.

Jing He took a slight breath, and just as she was about to grab the keystone at the end of the monocle's anti-skid chain, her movement suddenly stopped.

The shadows have been dispelled?
Do not!
Where there is light, there is shadow. No matter how strong the light is, shadows will always exist, at most they may be diluted or compressed to a minimum.
That being the case.

Then let the darkness come even more fiercely!
Jing He abandoned the key stone and instead took out a black, transparent sphere that emitted a colorful glow, resembling a Poké Ball.

The audience was shocked when they saw this.

"Tai... Tai Crystal Bead!"

"Teacher Jinghe actually possesses the Taijing Pearl?!"

"What?! I thought it was Mega Evolution, but it's..."

slam-la-

Jinghe's black suit jacket fluttered in the wind, her wispy hair swayed, and her eyes suddenly turned sharp. She threw the Taijing Bead in her hand, which landed on Gengar's head.

"Become a shadow and engulf everything, Gengar!"

clack clack-

Layer upon layer of crystals rose from Gengar's feet, quickly piling up into a small crystal mountain. The mischievous Gengar was vividly depicted inside the crystal mountain.

click-

suddenly.

A crack appeared on the crystal hill, and then all the crystals instantly turned into dust and scattered in all directions.

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a Gengar that looked as if it were carved from crystal. Its purple skin was covered with a smooth layer of crystal that reflected a faint light, and on its head was a Ghost Gem that looked like a crown.

Crystallized Ghost, Crystallized Gengar!

hum-

Centered on the crystallized Gengar, an incredibly powerful shadow enveloped the entire area!
