Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 618 Arceus, Let's Battle! (Seeking monthly votes!)
In ancient times, Mijna.

Jinghe slowly opened her eyes, reaching out to shield her eyes from the warm but glaring sunlight. The fragrance of the fields filled her nostrils, and she heard the melodious chirping of birds.

As I opened my eyes fully, what came into view was a lush green field, fruit trees laden with fruit, a babbling river, and a majestic, towering temple.

"Have we... traveled back in time?"

Cynthia's voice came through, and she was also looking at the scene before her with a look of shock on her face.

"It seems so." Jing He straightened her clothes, suppressing the discomfort brought on by the time travel, and nodded slightly.

With the help of Dialga, the god of time, Jinghe and Cynthia returned to the ancient Mijna, the place where Arceus's hatred began, as planned.

"Then us"

Jinghe looked up at the sky.

According to the plot, Arceus will appear at night, during the total lunar eclipse. If Dialga hasn't sent them to the wrong place, then it will be tonight.

The sun is now setting in the west, turning vast fields yellow and casting a hazy yellow veil over the entire town.

There is not enough time.

"We must enter the temple, find Sinki who betrayed Damos, and retrieve the 'Stone of Life'."

This is their ultimate goal.

But this is not a simple matter.

Although nominally the Temple of Midina was built by Damos and the people of Midina to thank Arceus, the temple was actually controlled by Sinchi, who claimed to be Damos's subordinate.

In order to deal with Arceus, Sinch had already made many arrangements in the temple, and many Pokémon under his control gathered in the temple.

Although losing the power of the stone plates makes Arceus immune to the type attacks that the plates were designed to counter, it's not enough to think that you can defeat Arceus with just the attacks of a few dozen or a few hundred Pokémon and Quicksilver.
These Pokémon are definitely not weak.

It would be very troublesome if we were surrounded.

the most important is
The temple is enormous and its interior is intricate; searching blindly could waste a lot of precious time.

"Ah."

The two then weaved through the alleys of Mijna, steadily approaching the location of the Mijna Temple.

quickly.

The two arrived at an alley in a corner of the temple. Before them stood the towering temple, and how to enter it without being discovered was a crucial question.

"It's best to wait until dinner time. The guards at these temples usually change shifts around that time, so the chances of being discovered will be lower," Cynthia suggested.

As a mythologist, Cynthia has some understanding of human life in ancient times.

At the same time, Cynthia also made some realizations.

If all else fails, in order to save time, she will try her best to attract the attention of all the temple guards to create time for Jinghe.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that after Jing He responded, he began searching for something in some nooks and crannies of the temple.

at the same time.

Jinghe's Poké Ball opened on its own, and Larvitar ran out.

It walked to the foot of a wall, looked at the majestic temple in front of it, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Yo-yo."

I think I could make a hole without anyone noticing. What do you guys think?

The little boy's quiet muttering went unnoticed by the two of them, and he nodded to himself.

If you don't object, I'll take that as agreement.

Young Gilas immediately found a corner that seemed inconspicuous, spotted a stone brick that looked delicious, and prepared to take a bite.

just.

Before it could even make a move, the stone brick moved twice on its own and then fell down, where it was caught by Young Gilas.

"Yo-yo? (ω`)?"

Immediately afterwards, a small golden head peeked out from the hole where the stone brick had fallen.

They happened to make eye contact with Young Kylas.

"Pee-pee-pee-pee?"

It was a cute little Pichu, with black downy hairs sticking out like spikes on one of its ears.

After Pichu and Youngster stared at each other for a while, just as Youngster was about to make a sound, Pichu quickly went up and covered its mouth.

"Pee-choo pee-choo!"

Signal it not to make any noise.

Young Gilas's eyes darted around twice, and he nodded with his mouth covered.

Seeing this, Pichu with sly ears smiled, waved to Young Gilas, and then turned and crawled back into the hole it had run out of earlier.

Young Gilas scratched his head and tried to crawl in as well.

However, Pichu seems to be much smaller than Larvitar; Pichu can squeeze in easily, while Larvitar's little bottom gets stuck outside.

"Yo-yo-yo! Yo-yo-yo!"

Just then, a Gengar that had witnessed the whole thing emerged from the shadows beside them, grinned wickedly, and raised its foot.

boom--

Young Kira rolled around and disappeared into the tunnel.

Gengar licked its tongue and transformed into a cloud of black mist before disappearing inside.

After entering, Larvitar, Pichu, and Gengar arrived at a secluded passage within the temple.

"Yo-yo?" Larvitar stood up, patting its bottom, its gaze fixed on Gengar with a suspicious look.

Did you just kick me?

Gengar looked bewildered.

"Genga?"

Kick you? Who is it? Where?

Young Cyrus also began to doubt his own judgment.

Am I imagining things?
"Pichi-chan, Pichi-chan?" Pichi waved its little arms, asking Larvitar and Gengar where they came from and how they got to the temple, which was very dangerous.

"Yo-yo! Yo-yo!"

Larvitar waved its little arms, made a fierce face, and then pointed at Gengar.

Seemingly to match Young Giranus, the black mist swirling around Gengar made it resemble Dialga, cough, Dialga.

Then the two little guys started talking back and forth, and Pichu tilted his head to the side, his ears drooping, looking completely bewildered.

What are you talking about? What time is going on? What space is going on? What are those electronic pets yelling?
Young Giras and Gengar exchanged a glance.

"Gengar!" Gengar raised a finger.

Please wait for me.

After saying that, Gengar transformed into black mist again, drifted out of the passage, and arrived outside the temple. Jinghe and Cynthia were already standing where the bricks had fallen, waiting.

How could Jinghe not have noticed the movements of his own Pokémon?

"Gengga~ Gengga~"

Gengar spread its arms out, gesturing as if to say something.

"So, you encountered that spiky-eared Pichola, right?" Jinghe asked.

He had been looking for Pichitaka, thinking that with the little guy's curiosity, he might run into them when they first arrived.

Given Pichu's familiarity with the temple, having it lead the way would save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Gengar nodded repeatedly.

"Pichi-Ear Pichi?" Cynthia looked puzzled.

“That’s Damos’s partner,” Jing He explained simply.

After all, it's hard to explain the spiky Pichu in a short time; it's a Pichu that can "travel through time and space."

"Pichiu?"

"Yo-yo?"

Just as Gengar was talking to Jinghe and Cynthia, Spiky Pichu and Larvitar poked their heads out of the previous hole again.

The hole was small to begin with, and the two little ones poked their heads out at the same time.
"Pee-pee-pee-pee!"

"Yo-yo!!"

Pichu and Youngkiras, their cheeks flushed red, were stuck!
After finally "rescuing" the two little guys, Pichu was panting heavily, while Larvitar once again set his sights on the temple wall, whose bricks were quite sturdy.

“Picchu, could you please lead us to Damos and Sinch? We want to help Damos.”

Jinghe leaned down and asked in a gentle voice.

"Pichiu?"

Pichu tilted its ears, looked at Jinghe, then at Cynthia, as if it could sense goodwill from them. So it dropped to all fours, turned and ran toward a back door.

"Pichi~!"

After running a few steps, he didn't forget to wave to them.

"Yo-yo~~"

Larvitar and Gengar immediately gave chase.

"Nimi~~"

Bictini seemed to find it very amusing and happily floated up as well.

Led by Spiky Pichu, Jinghe and Cynthia bypassed most of the guards in the temple and arrived at the prison where Damos was imprisoned.

However, there are definitely guards outside the prison, which is unavoidable.

Fortunately, these few guards were no match for Jinghe and Xilona.
"Genga~"

In the blink of an eye, several unsuspecting guards fell to the ground.

Here we must mention that ancient humans at this time did not have advanced tools like Poké Balls to "restrain" Pokémon. Instead, they used animal taming methods to put shackles on them.

Furthermore, at this time, people still referred to Pokémon as "monsters".

Therefore, as long as it doesn't cause too much of a commotion and prevents the large number of Pokémon imprisoned in the temple from being released, it can be considered to have gone relatively smoothly.

Sitting in the cell, Damos held his head in his hands, his expression one of pain and struggle.

He wanted to return the "Life Stone" to Arceus, but the betrayal of his subordinate Sinki prevented him from doing so, and he was now in pain for having failed Arceus's trust.

Until he heard the sound of the guards outside the prison falling to the ground.

Look up.

Then they saw a man and a woman dressed in "strange costumes" standing at the door, along with his partner Pichu and other "monsters".

“Mr. Damos, the appointed time with Arceus is approaching,” Jing He said.

Below the steps of the high palace of the Mijna Temple.

“Xinqi should be up there. This is the only way to get up there, and the guards are much tighter than before,” Damos said through gritted teeth.

Cynthia and Jinghe stood at the bottom of the steps, exchanged a glance, and smiled at the same time.

Previously, I was worried about wasting time, but now...
The sun hadn't completely set yet.

enough.

Jinghe threw out a Poké Ball and summoned Urshifu.

Cynthia also summoned Lucario.

In such a relatively small and confined terrain, these two are undoubtedly the most suitable.

"Hoo!"

"Luk-ka!"

Martial Arts Urshifu and Lucario exchanged a glance, and Lucario smiled.

Let's compare?
Martial Arts Master Xiong clenched his fist and grinned.

all!
next second.

"Intrusion! Yes."

"Someone come here! Come here!"

boom--

In Xinqi's palace, he heard faint noises coming from outside and couldn't help but frown.

"What's all this commotion outside?"

As soon as I opened the door.

He saw Martial Arts Master and Lucario standing at his doorway, their fists clenched.

Upon seeing the two Pokémon, Xinqi's pupils suddenly contracted.

However, his reaction speed was quick, or rather, because it was a crucial moment, his alertness was excellent. The instant he saw Martial Arts Urshifu and Lucario, he dodged to the side while shouting:

"Kill them!"

As Xinqi stepped aside, a volcanic behemoth, Seadrane, appeared behind him, carrying a chair and shackles on its back!
"Sidoran?"

Cynthia was somewhat surprised to see this Pokémon.

"Roar--!!"

With a roar, Sidora opened its mouth wide, and a torrent of scorching magma erupted from it, instantly engulfing the entire doorway.

Xin Qi stood up with a cold expression.

Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, the fact that the person dared to barge in so openly meant that they were no ordinary person and might not be easily defeated by Sidson.
Holding the scepter in his hand, he declared, "I will make you pay for your recklessness!"

Xinqi plans to awaken all the "monsters" imprisoned in the temple and make these people food for the "monsters"!

But as soon as he picked up the scepter, he suddenly felt his hand loosen.

Ok?
Turning around, he saw that his scepter had somehow appeared in Gengar's hand.

"Genga?"

Gengar toyed with the scepter, gently tossed it, and smiled.

It's quite heavy; it's clearly made of high-quality metal. I'm sure Britney will be very satisfied.

Xin Qi's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted, "Bronze Bell, Hypnosis!"

A bronze bell, also bound by shackles, flew out from the corner of the wall and began to hypnotize Gengar. However...
Gengar said, "How long has it been? How long has it been since a Pokémon used hypnosis on me?"

Gengar immediately grinned and raised its hand, a glint of light appearing in its crimson eyes.

Hypnosis?
Bounce!

The bronze bell fell into a coma.

Xin Qi looked stunned when he saw this.

next second.

boom! ! !
The lava flames spewed out by Seadra exploded, accompanied by the faint sound of flowing water.

Then, the martial arts bear master assumed a fighting stance, with water flowing around its fists and feet.

Beside him, Lucario, with a cold expression, held a deep blue bone club horizontally in front of him. "Water Strike!" Jing He's voice came from behind the door, followed by Cynthia's voice.

"Bone with the bone stick!"

bang bang bang-

Shinki's reliance on Heatran was gradually defeated by the impact of the Water Flow Fist and the Bone Club. As the Martial Arts Bear Master threw his last punch, Lucario unleashed the final blow from his Bone Club.

boom--! !

Sidora was sent flying backward and embedded in the sturdy wall of the temple.

"How...how is this possible?" Xin Qi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his face filled with disbelief at what he was seeing.

He subdued the powerful magical beast, Seadra, from the volcano!
In the entire Mijna, there was no monster that could rival it, yet it didn't even have a chance to fight back against this bear and dog duo.
"Hoo!"

"Luk-ka!"

The martial arts master retracted his fist, and Lucario's bone club turned to dust and disappeared. The two looked at each other, then simultaneously extended their fists and collided.

draw.

"Who...who exactly are you?"

Before Xin Qi could finish speaking, Jing He said, "Gengar, let him have a long and heavy 'good dream'."

"Genga~"

boom--

Xin Qi fell straight to the ground, his body twitching slightly, foaming at the mouth.

At the same time, Jinghe took the scepter from Gengar's hand, and after gently turning the mechanism, the precious gem at the top of the scepter, which emitted a strange light, was revealed—the Life Gem!
A treasure formed from stone slabs representing the five elements: earth, water, grass, electricity, and dragon.

"Yo-yo."

Young Gilas stared at the precious jade and swallowed hard.

Why does it give me the feeling that eating this precious jade will make me invincible?

"Is this what it is?" Cynthia asked softly.

"Hmm." Jing He nodded, then took a deep breath. "Whether it works or not depends on this."

Thank you both.

Looking at the dazzling "Jade of Life," Damos sincerely expressed his gratitude to Jinghe and Xilona.

“Mr. Damos, you must already understand the consequences of not returning the jade.” Jing He said, slowly raising her head. Night had fallen, and the bright moon was being swallowed by the shadows little by little.

A total lunar eclipse is coming!
Damos tightened his grip on his scepter and said in a deep voice:

“Arzetus is our benefactor, and we cannot repay kindness with enmity because of some so-called ‘risks’!”

"Nimi~"

Bicotini, sitting on Jinghe's shoulders, nodded.

The little guy can feel sincerity from Damos.

"哓GA!"

suddenly.

Gengar points to the night sky.

See you soon.

After the moon was completely covered by shadow, a beautiful light and shadow suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, followed by a holy four-legged divine beast with a faint glow all over its body, which walked through the air.

The holy radiance seemed to warm everyone's hearts, making them feel refreshed and happy.

"Is this the legendary creator god, Arceus?" Cynthia gazed at the pure white figure, a strange feeling stirring within her, as if she had once had some connection with such a being.

“Arzetus!” Damos’s face lit up with joy. He raised his scepter, revealing the “Orb of Life.” “This is our agreement!”

【Damos】

Arceus's voice is neither male nor female, but it sounds very gentle and magnetic, so that it does not arouse any hostility.

Upon seeing the "Stone of Life" that Damos presented, Arceus's expression softened further, but when it caught a glimpse of Jinghe and Cynthia behind the platform out of the corner of its eye...
hum-

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Jinghe felt as if a double image appeared on Arceus's body, which flashed by and quickly disappeared, but Arceus's previously gentle tone and expression changed, becoming serious.

You shouldn't be here, humans!

The voice echoed in Jing He and Shirona's minds, but Damos seemed not to hear it.

As a glimmer appeared in Arceus's eyes, it seemed to "see" everything and understand the process and the reasons behind it.

Since Arceus brought this up, Jinghe knew he couldn't just stand by and watch, waiting for Damos to return the "Jade of Life" so everyone could be happy.

He took a step forward, and Waveguide extended a benevolent gesture, saying at the same time:

"We have come for you, Arceus."

Do you think that changing history will end everything?

Arceus landed slowly, his four feet lightly stepping onto the platform, even ignoring Damos, who was holding the "Orb of Life" and looking somewhat bewildered.

Upon hearing this, Jing He's expression shifted slightly.

Judging from Arceus's expression, it seems that it already knows what will happen next?

If we can predict the future, then why?
Arceus seemed to understand his thoughts and spoke again.

I am aware that you have disrupted the flow of time.

Now Jinghe understands.

Their arrival has altered history to some extent, and they are relying on the power of Dialga, the god of time. But from whom does Dialga's power originate?

Arceus.

Without disrupting the flow of time, would Arceus be unable to foresee the distant future?
Okay, okay, it's fine if Zhiye comes, but not if we come. Are you targeting us?
Setting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind for the moment, Jing He looked directly at Arceus and said:
“Arceus, we simply want to dispel your misunderstanding of humanity.”

【misunderstanding?】

Arceus even gave a disdainful chuckle.

hum-

A "screen" that only Jinghe, Cynthia, and their Pokémon could see appeared in front of them.

What was presented was none other than Mijina, where Jinghe and the others had originally been!
Under Jing He's instructions, Wu Song, Daye, and A Liu search for the lost "Life Jade" within the Mijina Ruins; this is part of Plan B.

Dialga and Palkia, having eaten and drunk their fill, lay down on the ground for a short rest.

As the camera focused on them, they seemed to sense it, opening their eyes and raising their heads in confusion.

What's wrong with this scene?
Jing He frowned slightly.

But next second.

The camera then shifts to a different scene.

Just outside Mijna, a flying warship was approaching Mijna at an extremely high speed. Judging from the markings on the warship, it was clear that they were...
“Team Galaxy!” Cynthia said in a deep voice.

The camera zooms in, revealing a scene inside the warship where the leader of Team Galactic sits regally in the command chair.
"Chiri?!"

Cynthia's eyes widened slightly.

She was no stranger to Red Sun, a famous wealthy businessman in the Sinnoh region who had invested in many industries in the region with his substantial assets and was considered an upper-class figure in the entire Sinnoh region.

Even many high-ranking members of the League have a good relationship with him, such as Dr. Mustard, Cynthia's grandmother, whose research institute was once sponsored by Red Sun.

Akari is actually the leader of Team Galactic?
This was definitely a very unexpected thing for Cynthia.

But Jinghe's focus was more on the two dazzling spheres encased in glass cases on either side of Chi Ri's hands.

"A white jade pearl, a vajra pearl!"

With his reminder, Cynthia also noticed the two jewels.

But aren't these two precious pearls one in the hands of the Institute of God and History, which is Grandma Mustard, and the other in the Hyakudai History Museum in Hyakudai City?
Even before she and Jing He came to ancient times, she sought the help of her grandmother, Dr. Jie Zilan, to borrow two precious pearls. How did they end up in the hands of the Galaxy Team?
in the screen.

The Galactic team's researcher, Hades, wore a sinister smile as he manipulated the screen and said:

"Chief, we have scanned the source of time and space."

For the first time, an uncontrollable fervor and an insatiable desire for Dialga and Palkia surfaced on Akari's usually calm face.

He slowly stood up, his gaze seemingly able to travel thousands of miles to land on Dialga and Palkia, his fists slowly clenching.

The human heart is imperfect; only by destroying the current world can a brand new, perfect world be created!
The camera disappeared.

Arceus's gaze fell on Jinghe again. It didn't speak, but it seemed to say a lot.

That look seemed to ask, "Is this what you mean by a misunderstanding of humanity?"
Cynthia pursed her lips and stepped forward to say something, but Jing He stopped her with a hand.

Jing He stared at Arceus, "As the creator god, how can your understanding of humanity be so one-sided?"

【Um? 】

Arceus's voice was deep, and he seemed to detect a questioning tone in Jing He's words.

But Arceus soon laughed again.

You seem eager to prove something?

“Emotions,” Jing He said in a deep voice.

At the same time, Gengar floated out of his shadow and landed in front of him, wearing sunglasses and with his hands on his hips, facing Arceus directly.

Jinghe was unaffected by it and continued:

"You are the one who gave humanity and Pokémon."

Then another Poké Ball opened.

Ninetales, Greatsmith, Dragonite, Urshifu, Azure Blade Demon, and Larvitar all appeared in front of him, looking up at Arceus.

"But you."

Victini, Rotom, and Darkrai, who had a grim expression, all appeared in front of him.

They lined up in a row, seemingly wanting to transform into a wall between Jinghe and Arceus.

"Yet I know nothing about this feeling."

[Completely unaware?]

Arceus was so angry that it laughed. Its gaze swept over the Pokémon in front of Jing He, and a sense of oppression from the creator god surged out.

Emotions are but a tiny, insignificant part of its long history.
As the creator god, when did he ever dare to face a group of ordinary Pokémon directly?

Even Dialga and Palkia wouldn't dare!

Except for that rebellious dragon.
By the way, this human does indeed possess the aura of Giratina.

the other side.

Cynthia opened all the Poké Balls on her waist, and her Pokémon Garchomp, Lucario, and other companions all stood in front of her.

They sensed the threat from Arceus, and also felt that powerful sense of oppression, but...
"Genga!!"

Gengar stood with one hand on its hip and the other pointing at Arceus.

Are you trying to get involved with Jinghe? You'll have to ask us first!
The little creatures were all united in their hatred of the enemy. Even the un-evolved baby Giras bared its teeth and brandished its claws, showing no fear of the creator god whatsoever.

this moment.

Arceus was slightly taken aback.

It seemed to sense the pure bond between these two humans and their Pokémon.

That bond, burning like the sun in the night.

It's not just the Pokémon that Jinghe caught.

Even Victini and Darkrai, two powerful mythical beasts, share a considerable bond with him.

The girl on the other side and her Pokémon are equally impressive.

hum-

suddenly.

Gengar and Garchomp radiated a dazzling light, a light that materialized the power of their bond.

"You ask me what I want to prove?"

Jinghe's clothes fluttered even without wind, her eyes serious and determined.

He doesn't deny that in the Pokémon world, he's encountered many dark, infuriating, and even disturbing villains, but...
It would be too one-sided to use just this group of people to represent all of humanity in the Pokémon world and to measure the emotions between humans and Pokémon.

The righteous and unyielding Wataru, the wealthy and gentle Daigo, the beautiful and kind Cynthia, the chuunibyou but passionate Daigo, and the complaining but diligent Satoru.
They and their Pokémon should not be defined by a minority.

Jinghe and his Pokémon should not be represented by these people!
“Arzeus!” Jing He stared at Arceus without backing down.

"Let's fight!"

Darkrai: "Ooo ...

"Gengard, Mega Evolution!"

"Garuda, Mega Evolve!"

"Genga!!"

A dazzling light burst forth from Gengar's body, and countless black mists surged out, instantly enveloping it while simultaneously receding and subsiding within.

"Roar!!"

Garchomp spread its arms and roared to the sky, its eyes bloodshot and its aura surging forth. The power of Mega Evolution had become its best food at this moment.

This contradicted Jinghe's plan and was completely unexpected, but
There are some things he has to do, he has to prove, otherwise what would be the point of his time with the Pokémon?
This is for everyone, and even more so for their own families!

Arceus looked at the scene before him, his eyes filled with emotion, and a surge of excitement rose in his heart.

This is the first time a human has challenged himself in such an open and aboveboard manner, with his Pokémon.

It was at this moment that Arceus suddenly realized that it was also a Pokémon, albeit a rather special one.

Arceus did not move, and Jinghe and Xilona did not rush to attack.

The opponent is Arceus, if we really fight...
Arceus slowly closed its eyes, and as its anger and disappointment subsided, its "vision" seemed to broaden.

Humans, I must admit, your bonds are as striking as a rainbow.

After a pause, it said again:
If you are truly determined, you shouldn't try to prove anything to me in this way, but rather to your future self.

It's easy to figure out.
Why don't you just directly criticize the future "me"?
What if you come back to the past to find me, and disrupt the flow of time?
Jing He: "."

Isn't this about simplifying things as much as possible and minimizing risks?
Go back and prove it to the guy who needs it.

Arceus's voice seemed to be fading into the distance, and the vision of Jinghe, Cynthia, and the other Pokémon seemed to be blurring as well.

Ok?
Jinghe was somewhat lost in thought.

Why does it feel like this Arceus isn't the same one that awakened?
After a brief trance.

"Teacher Jinghe? The Big Sister?"

Da Ye looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared and showed a little surprise.

"Is it over?" Wusong couldn't help but ask.

"Do not."

Jing He and Xi Lunna exchanged a glance, then unbuttoned their clothes one by one, looked at the setting sun, and whispered:
"I just came to let you know."

"Let's raid!"
