Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 61 Laplace, Sing!
"It's Teacher Jinghe!"

"And there's the 'Royal Masked Man'!"

"Wow—are these two really going to give us a tactics lesson?"

"."

With Du Fu's introduction, Jing He and Kukui walked up from backstage, drawing gasps from a large number of students below.

Jinghe and Kukui are both quite famous.

As the two took the stage.

The first-year combat students, who had just come to a tactics class as usual, suddenly became excited.

Many people took out their phones to film the battle, while others notified their friends or posted messages on the campus forum.

Many second, third, and even fourth graders put aside their games, dates, and even skipped classes to flock to the lecture hall.

"Teacher Jinghe?"

Meanwhile, Daigo, Dujuan, and Asa were also somewhat taken aback when they saw Jinghe.

However, they quickly cheered up.

You may not have to learn Teacher Jinghe's tactics, but you can't be unaware of them.

"You two get ready."

Dolph acted as referee, indicating that the two could summon their Pokémon.

"Go."

Kukui throws out a red and white ball, and amidst the red light, a burly orange Pokémon appears on the field.

"Ouch~~"

It's a pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Kanto region, Dragonite!

In reality, Dragonite looks a bit fatter than you might imagine, especially its big belly, which looks incredibly soft and makes you want to pat it.

"It's a Dragonite!"

"The royal masked men are really lacking in martial ethics!"

"But Dragonite is so cute~~"

"."

Seeing that Kukui had used Dragonite, Jinghe's expression was slightly strange, but she still threw out the Poké Ball that she had prepared beforehand.

"Woo~~"

What appeared before Jinghe was a blue Pokémon with a hard shell on its back, Lapras!
'Is this a preview of the showdown between Awakening and Kona?'

'No, this is textbook material—how do you control A-Du?'

Jinghe couldn't help but think of it.

"It's not a 'defend the poison' tactic."

"Laplace! Ice-type is four times super effective against it, Teacher Jinghe has it in the bag this time!"

"I could do it too!"

Ice-type moves are four times stronger than Dragonite, what other tactics are needed?
Just go for it!
But Kukui remained very confident, and his confidence infected Dragonite, causing the chubby guy to sharpen his eyes.

"Awoo!|ω)"

"The battle begins!"

"Dragonite, Mystic Guard!" Kukui made the first move.

Clearly, he was also worried about Jinghe's "substitute defense poison" tactic, so he chose Dragonite with "mysterious protection" to avoid a lot of trouble.

Although Jinghe used Laplace this time, he still chose the safer option of going first.

After all, when luck turns bad, being "frozen" can be a real headache.

Seeing this, Jing He smiled and gave instructions:
"Laplace, Frozen Beam."

What the students below said actually makes a lot of sense.

We've already exercised four times the restraint, so what's the point of having a bicycle?
Just go for it.

"Woo——"

A pale blue, extremely cold beam of light shot out from Laplace's mouth.

But Kukui seemed to have expected this, and grinned.

He waved his large hand.

"Dragonite, use 'Godspeed' to dodge!"

Suddenly, a bright white light appeared on Dragonite's body, and it flapped its wings violently, increasing its speed abruptly.

It actually avoided the "freezing beam," only its tail was grazed.

"Super Speed" is a move with extremely high priority, giving Dragonite an exaggerated speed boost.

It is rumored that Dragonite can circle the Earth in 16 hours, but in reality, it is likely that it is only possible to achieve this through "super speed".

It seems that if Dragonite and Kukui have a high enough level of teamwork, such as Lance's Dragonite, they could actually use "Extreme Speed" to perfectly dodge it.

Furthermore, with the blessing of "mysterious protection," the frost on Dragonite's tail quickly dissipated.

more importantly.

Dragonite pulled out an apple with a bite taken out of it from somewhere, wiped it on its body, and took a bite with a "crunch".

Props, leftovers!

Dragonite's stamina has recovered slightly.

In fact, Jinghe had always had a question: who ate the "leftovers" and why were they so effective?
"He really dodged it?!"

"Dragonite is much faster than Lapras!"

Where is the person who shouted, "I could do it too"?

"."

The students below found it interesting.

"Teacher Jinghe, attributes don't represent everything."

Kukui laughed loudly, then his gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Now it's our turn!"

"Dragonite, Thunder Fist!"

Jinghe sighed inwardly.

'As expected, this is still the way it has to be.'

"Laplace, sing the song of destruction!"

"Woo~~"

A melodious and ethereal voice emanated from Laplace, like a beautiful melody, causing Dragonite's massive body to visibly tremble. Kukui frowned.

In reality, "Death Song" instills fear in the opponent through a special air vibration frequency. As the fear quickly takes root and grows, the Pokémon will gradually lose its will to fight.

This has now turned into a race against time.

"'Song of Destruction,' is this a new tactic?!"

"Isn't that mutual destruction?"

"."

Shila-

The "Thunder Fist" struck Laplace as he chanted.

"Woo!!"

Laplace let out a low groan of pain.

"Dragonite, one more time!"

Kukui's voice came again.

hum-

A light emerald green barrier appeared on Laplace's body.

Hold on!

But it was quickly smashed to pieces by Dragonite's lightning-filled fist.

A glint of light flashed in Kukui's eyes.

The wait is now!

"Reverse Scale!"

Dragonite's eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, and a dark red aura appeared on its body. As it went berserk, it swung its claws and attacked Lapras.

The key is to "hold on" because the success rate of continuous attacks will decrease, so most people will follow the principle of "hold on or not hold on, hold on."

At the same time, while "Outrage" will cause Dragonite to lose control, it will also destroy "Substitute" and, taking advantage of its speed, defeat it before Lapras can use "Protect" again!
However, Jing He calmly gave the order:

"Laplace, sleep."

sleep!

This Laplace's special ability is "hard shell armor," so it cannot be hit in vital areas.

The prop that Jinghe gave it was an "imposing sash".

When at full strength, you won't be instantly killed.

And "sleeping" allows Pokémon to restore their stamina to its peak!

Therefore, even if Kukui manages to seize the opportunity to "hold on," Laplace will still "cling" to him until he dies.

Even if both are hit by "Death Song", the faster Dragonite, with its greater range and frequency of movements, will lose its will to fight before Lapras.

Moreover, Laplace also mastered the "Night Talk" move and successfully used "Protect" again.

For a moment, the lecture hall fell into an eerie silence.

A few minutes later.

The Dragonite's rage from "Outrage" has subsided, but its heart is filled with fear.

He plopped down on the ground, losing all will to fight!

"Awooo.(ˇˇ)"

"The winner is Teacher Jinghe!"

Duffer announced the results a beat late.

wow——

In an instant, the silent stadium erupted in cheers.

The Royal Masked Man was already very powerful. He commanded Dragonite to use "Extreme Speed" to avoid "Ice Beam", turning the tide of battle into an opportunity. He also successfully seized the weak point of "Protect" and launched a fierce attack.

Unfortunately, Jinghe's tactics were just too shady!
"It's too dirty, no way! If anyone took a video, please send me a copy later!"

"I've got it! Which senior is willing to fight me?"

"Teacher Jinghe, how should this tactic be used in non-1v1 matches?"

After all, once a Pokémon affected by "Perish Song" is recalled, the move's effect is lost.

On stage, Jing He, having put away Laplace, smiled gently.

"Laplace can learn the moves 'Tide Vortex' or 'Block'."

"Holy crap! They had that trick up their sleeve!"

"I feel incredibly strong right now! Anyone who comes will have to be traded one for one!"

"I would call Teacher Jinghe a master of tactics... no! Dirty tactics!"

"."

Jing He stepped off the stage.

Gastly and Vulpix immediately rushed forward.

"Ooh~~"

The little guy's eyes were full of admiration.

Is this what battles between Ice-type Pokémon look like?

He picked up Vulpix and said to Gastly beside him, "Don't worry, this will also be one of your future tactical reserves."

"Koo~ Jie~!"

Gastly was just about to bark excitedly when its body suddenly trembled.

Stick out your tongue.

He rolled up a phone and brought it out, which was covered in saliva.

Jinghe accepted the request with a twitch of her lips, only to find it was a friend request.

【King of the Earth】: Approved.

I casually clicked "decline".

"Thankfully, there were some requirements; it's amazing that someone would dare to use a nickname like 'King of the Earth'."

As he spoke, he casually wiped his hand on the Ice Vulpix.
