Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 626 Gengar: I haven't even used my full power yet! (Seeking monthly votes!)

July 18, Wednesday, sunny.

Carlos region, Miare city.

"They still came." Jing He looked up at the azure sky and the drifting clouds, and sighed wistfully.

Although the final exams at the Kanaz Pokémon Academy are not yet over, the remaining exams are mostly about battles and Pokémon training, which are no longer of much concern to him as the elective course instructor.

The benefits of being an elective course instructor are most evident during winter and summer vacations, with long breaks of more than two months.
Rotom

Just as Jinghe was about to summon Rotom to transform into a Rotom bicycle, he discovered that Gengar had already gone to the roadside and summoned "Goat Speedo's" riding goat.

"This kid," Jing He shook his head helplessly.

He'd only been here once, but he was already adept at everything.

"They don't even try to save money for their families."

Although she had these thoughts in her mind, Jinghe wouldn't say anything to Gengar.

After all, Miare is a very large and complex city, and it is normal to get lost even with a map.

Back when he played Pokémon XY, he got completely lost. There were cafes everywhere, and he spent ages wandering around just one Fredauri Cafe before he finally had to take a taxi.

"Gengga~ Gengga~~"

Gengar happily led over two mountain goats, one named Jinghe and the other.

Destination—the Pokémon Lab in Blatano!

There were many things to do in the Kalos region this time, such as a League Police simulation exercise, consulting with Ma Xiu in Lavender City about clothing design and Fairy-type Pokémon training, and searching for Pokémon hunters, etc.

In any case, it's always good to greet Dr. Blatano, the "local bigwig," first.

Da da da--

The goat you ride has a steady, rhythmic gait and is quite fast, so as long as you don't speed, it's very safe.

"Nomi?"

Victini sat on Jinghe's shoulder, looking at the buildings on both sides of the street and their architectural style, which was quite different from that of Unova, Sinnoh, and Hoenn. Its eyes were full of curiosity.

“Giggle~─=≡Σ(Д`)”

Nearby, Gengar rode past on his goat mount.

A short while later, Gengar rode its goat mount and came running quickly from the opposite side.

The key point is that as long as you want to "speed," it has nothing to do with what you're riding.

It's just a bit of a waste of sheep.

Before long, Jinghe and his friends arrived at the entrance of the Blatano Pokémon Lab.

Looking at one well-behaved riding goat and the other, with its tongue lolling out, eyes rolled back, and covered in sweat as if it were exhausted, along with several times the reward, the staff member in charge of retrieving the riding goats was full of questions.

Isn't it supposed to be from Lumiose Airport to the Pokémon Research Institute in Bratano? It feels like we've gone around Lumiose City.

"Jinghe, you've arrived."

Upon entering the Blatano Pokémon Lab, Professor Blatano, a disheveled-looking middle-aged man with a stubble beard, immediately came out to greet us.

Because they had given prior notice, Dr. Blatano was already waiting at the research institute.

However, looking at the research institute, which was noticeably dimmer than when she last visited, Jing He showed a hint of curiosity.

what happened?

Is Dr. Blatano so short of funds lately that he's even cutting back on the lights in the research institute?
Seemingly sensing Jing He's confusion, Dr. Blatano smiled helplessly and said:

"I don't know what's wrong lately, but the power supply facilities in Miare City seem to have some problems, and there are frequent power outages."

Power outage?

Jing He looked somewhat bewildered.

No wonder I saw many coffee shops on the street that were dark inside; I didn't know if they were open or closed.

This led to even more questions.

Given the size of Miare, power outages or insufficient power supply shouldn't be an issue, right?
Moreover, the gym in Luna City is an Electric-type gym. Although it's uncertain whether it's Clemont now, the fact that the city where the Electric-type gym leader lives has lost power is probably a greater "humiliation" than simply crushing the gym leader.

Moreover.

Even though the size of the Blatano Pokémon Lab is much smaller than Professor Oak's lab, it is still a Pokémon professor's lab. Doesn't it have some Electric-type Pokémon to generate electricity?

Jinghe voiced her doubts, and Dr. Blatano immediately explained:
"Not really. It's just that some instruments have a particularly high power demand, so we turned off some unnecessary power outputs to save the Pokémon's energy and reduce their stress."

In Pokémon research, it is inevitable to use extremely sophisticated instruments, and the more sophisticated these instruments are, the greater the power consumption.

"I see."

Jing He nodded. He didn't delve too deeply into the matter, since he wasn't an electronics major and his knowledge of electrical appliances and circuits was limited to things like serial and parallel current.

"Genga~~"

At this moment, Gengar, who was following Jinghe, suddenly bent down and took out two rather exaggerated watermelons from Jinghe's shadow with both hands, and handed them to Professor Blatano with a grin.

"This is."

Bratano paused, taken aback when he saw the two watermelons.

Jinghe smiled and said, "These are two watermelons we grew ourselves. We didn't know what else to bring. We hope you won't mind, Dr. Blatano."

"Jinghe, you know how to grow things?"

Dr. Blatano was even more surprised. He looked at the two watermelons, each bigger than a Gengar's head, smacked his lips, and subconsciously exclaimed:

"And these two watermelons are way too big."

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen such a big watermelon.

Jing He smiled.

Just kidding, a watermelon blessed by the Queen of the Rosaceae family, how could it not be big?

"I chilled it at home beforehand, and Gengar has been kept in the shadows, so the temperature should be just right. Eat it while it's cool; chilled watermelon is the perfect summer treat!"

"oh oh"

Dr. Blatano and his assistant each grabbed a watermelon.

"By the way, where's Ai Lan?"

Today, Professor Blatano was accompanied by a cute young lady to greet them, but we didn't see Alain, Ash's future rival.

Speaking of Alain, Dr. Blatano handed the watermelon to several researchers and said with a smile:

"That guy has been a lot of help to me lately, bringing back quite a few Mega Evolution Stones from outside."

"Oh?"

Is Alain already helping Dr. Blatano collect Mega Stones?

On the other hand, Xiao Zhi
Ash is probably still playing in the mud in Pallet Town right now.

No wonder they were able to pull out a water-filled sprayer (not really).

"Come on, Jinghe, let me show you my latest research results!" Dr. Blatano rolled up his sleeves, his previous dejected look gone, and became interested.

So, led by Dr. Blatano, the two arrived at a research room in the institute.

really.

In contrast to the dim lighting outside, the research lab was brightly lit, with many researchers in white coats working diligently, and rows of neatly arranged precision instruments operating continuously, emitting a faint "humming" sound.

Jinghe then noticed that on the central table in the research room, there were transparent glass cases, and inside them were the Mega Evolution Stones that many Pokémon Trainers dreamed of!

Each of these Mega Evolution Stones, regardless of which Pokémon it belongs to, is worth no less than eight figures.

Just these items on the table alone probably amount to seventy or eighty million Alliance Coins.

Jinghe suddenly realized.

Perhaps collecting Mega Stones in the Kalos region is a way to get rich?

Even Alain could help Dr. Blatano collect Mega Stones, so I should be able to "hunt" some down easily, right?

He seemed to see a bright road leading to his "small goal".

"Jing He?"

Dr. Blatano walked up to a device and saw Jing He staring blankly at the Mega Evolution Stone, so he called out to him.

Jinghe came to her senses.

"Uh-huh."

"Over here." Dr. Blatano was already operating the equipment.

On the back of the instrument is a secluded room with a transparent glass panel on the wall that allows a clear view of everything inside.

As Dr. Blatano pressed the button, illusory images appeared in the sealed compartment.

"This is the latest holographic projection technology developed by the Vladali Institute," Dr. Blatano explained.

Jing He nodded, indicating that this was not unfamiliar to him.

Although the holographic projection technology developed by the Vladali Institute has not been widely adopted, some highly skilled individuals or organizations have already obtained the right to use it.

Holographic projection technology is used not only at the Platagno Pokémon Laboratory but also within Team Rocket.

What he cared more about was the projection displayed in the enclosed room.

A burly middle-aged man wearing a Blaziken mask, and a Blaziken standing in front of him!

Blaziken Mask?
Citron and Yulijia's father?
Dr. Blatano said as he operated the device:
"This is footage from a trainer who wished to remain anonymous, showing their Mega Evolution at the time."

Inside the sealed room, Blaziken Mask, looking excited, shouted:
Blaziken, Mega Evolve!

hum-

The dazzling light, presented through holographic projection technology, shows Blaziken evolving under the influence of super-evolutionary energy.

When the energy dissipated, what appeared before them was a majestic Super Blaziken!
And the super evolution symbol that flashed by in front of it.

"Genga~!"

Gengar pointed at the holographic projection on the glass and turned to look at Jinghe.

Hey, they've evolved, but they're not as cool as us!
What Dr. Blatano really wanted to show Jinghe was some data from the instrument.

The data is very complex, but Dr. Blatano has summarized it.

"Our analysis revealed that Mega Evolution is not only closely related to the physical condition of both the Pokémon and the Trainer at the time, but their emotional state may also have a greater influence."

"Generally speaking, the most basic Mega Evolution may bring a 10% to 20% improvement to a Pokémon."

"And this Blaziken Mask, after Mega Evolution, his and his Blaziken's overall stats increased by at least 30%!"

"This is the highest-ranking case among all our current research cases."

Thirty percent?

Jing He nodded to himself.

The reason he considers Mega Evolution a superior way to enhance his abilities compared to Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Crystallization is because the improvements brought by Mega Evolution are comprehensive.

Unlike Z-Moves, which only enhance moves, Dynamax enhances HP and some moves, while Crystallize changes type and increases the power of some moves.
Of course, Mega Evolution also has its drawbacks; only certain Pokémon can undergo Mega Evolution.

Furthermore, it places higher demands on trainers and their Pokémon, thus increasing the burden on trainers.

The assistant brought over a plate of chilled watermelon.

"Genga~"

"Nimi~" Gengar and Victini didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took the food and started eating.

Dr. Blatano also picked up a slice of watermelon and took a bite.

In an instant, the cool, crisp sensation made him squint his eyes. He continued:
"Jinghe, if it's possible, could you let me collect your and Gengar's Mega Evolution data?"

Although Jinghe and Gengar had demonstrated Mega Evolution once before, the equipment in Dr. Blatano's laboratory was clearly insufficient at the time, so it was not recorded.

And
Dr. Blatano had a premonition.

Although Blaziken Mask and Blaziken have the highest Mega Evolution stats to date, it should be... (The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly).
"Genga?"

Gengar, its face smeared with watermelon juice, looked up at Jinghe and blinked its eager eyes twice.

How about giving them a little shock?

Shocked?

He wasn't particularly interested in what was shocking.

He was just a little curious about how much his own Ghost would improve its overall stats after Mega Evolution.
Could it reach an exaggerated 50%?
Before Jing He could speak, Dr. Bratano quickly added:
"Of course, such data collection comes at a price."

Ok?
Jing He immediately coughed lightly and said seriously:
"Dr. Blatano, you're being too polite. Contributing to Pokémon research is something every League Trainer should do!"

slam-la-

A round of applause erupted in the study room.

Teacher Jinghe truly lives up to her name, showcasing the "brilliance of a teacher" to everyone.

Ever since.

Led by the staff, Jinghe and Gengar arrived at the previously enclosed space, under the lens of many instruments.

After a brief blur, Gengar struck a completely different pose for all the cameras.

"Jinghe, Gengar." Professor Blatano's voice came from the speaker on the wall.

"You can start anytime."

“Gengar.” Jing He took a deep breath and looked at the chubby purple-skinned boy in front of her.

"Genga~"

Gengar chuckled and gave an "OK" sign.

At the same time, he subtly glanced at Bictini, who was hiding on Jing He's shoulder.

Give them a little shock!

Victini, don't be lazy!
"Nimi~()"

coming!

Jinghe and Gengar's expressions suddenly synchronized, both revealing smiles with identical curves at the corners of their mouths.

Jinghe unbuttoned her clothes, the hem fluttering even without wind, and took out the keystone hanging from the end of the monocle's anti-slip chain.

"Gengard, Mega Evolution!"

"Genga—!!"

hum-

The seven-colored Mega Evolution energy was activated by the Key Stone in Jing He's hand, waiting for the Mega Stone on Gengar's tongue to respond.

Ok?
Jinghe suddenly felt that the connection between herself and Gengar seemed to have become even stronger.

This feels a bit strange, since it's not like we haven't had Mega Evolution before.

He reacted immediately.

It's a waveguide!
This is the first time his Aura has undergone Mega Evolution with Gengar since it was enhanced by Arceus.

At this moment, he felt as if even without the Key Stone and Mega Stone, he and Gengar had a certain probability of Mega Evolution.

Bond evolution?

Just like Ash Ketchum and his Greninja?
His waveguide is biased towards emotions, which further stimulates Mega Evolution influenced by emotions and bonds.

Jinghe couldn't give a clear answer in a short time.

But when the Mega Gengar appeared in front of him, Dr. Blatano and the researchers in the research room were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

"Thirty percent, forty percent, fifty percent, percent"

Bang! ! !
With the numbers constantly rising, this top-of-the-line Mega Evolution stat detector in the entire Pokémon world exploded!

A plume of black smoke rose up.

“Exaggeration, overstatement,” a researcher murmured.

"Even the instruments can't withstand such numerical changes? That would require a huge improvement!"

Dr. Blatano never expected such a turn of events.

However, it must be said that his guess was indeed correct; the Mega Evolution between Jinghe and Gengar brought far greater benefits than Blaziken Mask.

The noise from the explosion was also heard by Jinghe and Super Gengar inside the sealed laboratory.

"Genga?"

Super Gengar looked at Victini on Jinghe's shoulder.

Did you use too much force?

"Ne, Nemi."

Bictini blinked.

It hasn't even exerted its full force yet.
Did it exert any force? It probably didn't.
The Mega Gengar floated directly to the wall, poked its head through the glass, and then immediately pulled it back.

"Genga?"

Still saying no? The equipment exploded!

Immediately, Gengar shed its Mega Evolution energy and tugged at Jinghe's trouser leg.

"Genga?"

Should we pay compensation? Or should we just run away?
Jing He: "."

He looked at the furtive-looking Gengar in front of him and rubbed his chin in confusion.

Is the bond between us and Gui Gui really that strong?

It doesn't seem like it.
at the same time.

Inside the Vladari Research Facility, the dimly lit control room was illuminated by the flickering lights of screens, where a group of Flame Team members dressed in orange suits were operating computers.

"Report, Lord Kutheroschi, we have received a holographic message from the Pokémon Research Institute in Blatano. It appears to be a collection of information on Pokémon Mega Evolution."

With a tuft of fiery red mohawk-like hair and wearing sunglasses, Flame Team officer Kutheroschi was taking notes on his report when he casually remarked:
"Just write it down as usual."

"Yes!"

However, just a few seconds later, the Team Flare member exclaimed in surprise.

"Lord Kutherroschi, the numbers are... the figures are far too exaggerated."

boom! !

Before he could finish speaking, the testing instrument exploded.

Red alarm lights went off throughout the laboratory.

Fat Kutheroschi, whose cheeks were blackened by the explosion, took off his sunglasses, revealing his eyes, the only part of his face that wasn't stained by the black and gray grime. His expression was one of utter bewilderment.

"what's the situation?"

Even for him, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

The instrument just exploded?

How powerful would that Mega Evolution stat be?

"N-I don't know."

Kutherloschi's expression immediately turned serious. He dropped the report in his hand, ran to a piece of equipment, and his hands flew across the table.

"Who is this person with such Mega Evolution data? And what Pokémon are they associated with?"

Team Cinderace desperately needs people with this kind of ability, unless they are die-hard Pokémon League fans!
Even members of the Pokémon League, or even its higher-ups, might be susceptible to being turned by Team Cinderace.

For example, in the Carlos Alliance right now
Under Kutherloschi's control, the data remaining after the explosion presented a blurry image, and with each refresh, the image became clearer and clearer.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the screen, waiting for the figure to fully appear.

suddenly.

hum-

The screen of the instrument that Kutherrosch was controlling suddenly turned into a snowy screen, and he completely lost control of it.

Followed by.

Suddenly, a few words appeared on the snowflake screen.

"Gast, Gastly, Gastly"

The screen was covered with densely packed Gastly characters, images, avatars, and cute illustrations.

next moment.

As if infected, the characters for "Gast" also began to appear on the other, previously intact instrument screens in the monitoring room.

This scene was beyond everyone's expectations.

"No, this is terrible! Lord Kutheroschi! We have been attacked by a very powerful hacker!"

Hacker?

How did this involve hackers?
In an instant, chaos erupted within Team Flare's secret base as countless computers were "infected." Kutherroschi led the Team Flare members in a fierce "resistance" before finally managing to contain the spread of the "virus."

This strange virus, which they had never seen before, was called the "Gast virus" by Team Flare!
They almost caused all the equipment in a Flare Team secret base to be compromised.

"This is probably the limitless possibility that exists between humans and Pokémon."

Regarding the previous results, Dr. Blatano could only offer this one answer.

That's a plausible answer no matter how you look at it.

Gengar, standing to the side, curled its lip.

I hadn't even exerted myself yet, and they were already exhausted.
Why does it feel a little unsatisfying?

Jing He was actually more curious about the value from earlier, but judging from Dr. Blatano and the researchers' reactions, it must have been quite high.
I was dumbfounded. In the Pokémon world, how could I believe in numbers? Jing He shook his head inwardly, realizing the truth.

Numerical value?
That's for gamers.

For us tacticians, synergies, combat styles, and dirty tricks types, we just use whatever we have.

"Cha~"

The master blacksmith, carrying his hammer, glanced at the equipment in front of him and shook his head at Dr. Blatano.

It's beyond saving, why don't you give it to me? I'll melt it down for you~
Dr. Blatano's eye twitched.

This instrument is very expensive.

At that moment, Rotom emerged from the still-smoking instrument, looking puzzled.

"Strange, I have a feeling someone's stealing electricity, Loto!"
