Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 627 Camping and Dual-Pistol Gengar! (Seeking monthly votes!)

Stealing electricity?

Jing He looked at Dr. Blatano, who also looked puzzled.

Wait a minute, if a Pokémon is stealing electricity, wouldn't all the Electric-type Pokémon generating electricity in the lab have noticed?

not to mention.
Could stealing electricity really cause a power shortage in such a large city as Miare?
It's important to know that Lumiose City is powered by the Kalos Power Station, one of the largest power plants in the entire Kalos region, and there's also the presence of the Lumiose Electric-type Gym.
Rotom suggested that it might be a misperception.

But Jinghe felt that Rotom was probably right.

Other Electric-type Pokémon might not be able to sense it, but that doesn't mean our Rotom can't.

Although Rotom is not Jinghe's main battle Pokémon, but just a "tool", it has never been deprived of good food and drink.

In addition, Rotom is also an Electric-type Pokémon that has received Thunder Stone and Zekrom's electric current.

In other words, Rotom isn't very enthusiastic about playing against others, otherwise...
It may not even have an accurate understanding of how strong or capable it is now.

But Jinghe still trusts Rotom's judgment.

One reason is trust in Rotom's abilities.

On the other hand, in the Pokémon world, whenever power plants or power stations are involved, problems always arise.

For example, a Zapdos might inexplicably end up living in a power plant.

"In short, this could be a direction for investigation. Doctor, if it's convenient for you, you might want to remind the staff who are checking the wiring problems in Miare City," Jing He said.

Dr. Blatano nodded.

Anyway, it's just one direction of investigation. If it turns out that Pokémon are indeed stealing electricity, then we've locked onto the source of the incident. If not, it won't cause too much trouble. We can just consider it as eliminating a wrong option in advance.

He took a sealed envelope from the inside pocket of his white coat and said with a smile:

"Jinghe, this is the payment I promised you."

Is there really a reward?
envelope?

Could it be a check?
Is Dr. Blatano now so high-end, using checks?
"Genga~"

Gengar reacted faster than Jinghe, eagerly taking the envelope and opening it to reveal a gold-embossed card.

Ok?
"This is."

Gengar picked up the card, flipped it over, and saw that it was an invitation.

A Golden Invitation!

This invitation was issued by "Battle Castle," a very famous battle facility in the Carlos region. The content was quite simple, summarizing as follows:

They invited Teacher Jinghe to participate in "Battle Castle" and directly awarded him the title of Earl of Battle Castle!

Jing He stared at the invitation in her hand with a strange expression.

"This is the payment?"

It's completely different from what I expected.

The Battle Castle in the Kalos region is renowned, not only in the Kalos region but also throughout the entire Pokémon world.

It adopts a relatively traditional system of nobility, including the titles of Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron, and emphasizes Pokémon battle etiquette and the promotion of traditional culture in the Kalos region.

In Jinghe's mind, the future champions, Elite Four members, and Gym Leaders of the Kalos region will all be important guests of the "Battle Castle".

Among them, Karuno, who will become the champion of the Carlos region in the future, is the only female duchess in the "Battle Castle".

The Four Heavenly Kings are all dukes and duchesses from the "Battle Castle".

Also.

Trainers from other regions also sign up for "Battle Castle" after arriving in the Kalos region.

However, due to geographical limitations and the inconvenience of participating in battles, their titles may be slightly lower than those of local trainers in the Carlos region.

"Battle Castle" uses a points system, where strength is one factor, and the number of rounds and matches played is another.

Of course, this does not mean that having more matches and games will necessarily lead to a higher rank; one's own strength is the main factor.

The appeal of "Battle Castle" lies largely in the exciting battles and the ability to be matched with equally skilled opponents.

However, the "battle points" exchange system is also one of the reasons why "Battle Castle" has remained popular and its popularity has been increasing.

It is said.

As long as you have enough points and a matching rank, you can even exchange points for Super Evolution Stones in "Battle Castle"!

Currently, the position of Grand Duke/Grand Duchess in the "Battle Castle" is vacant. The one with the highest rank and the greatest fame is Yan Kai, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Carlos region, who calls himself the "Iron Man"!

"I applied for an earldom for you directly. I suppose those tedious battles from baron to viscount wouldn't mean much to you."

Dr. Blatano patted Jing He on the shoulder, looking like he was "thinking of you."

Upon hearing this, Jing He's lips twitched.

who said it?
How could barons and viscounts be boring? They're clearly enjoyable!
“It is said,” Dr. Blatano lowered his voice, “that among the Mega Stones collected by ‘Battle Castle’, there might be a Mega Stone of Tyranitar.”

Bangilas?!
Jinghe tried to cover Dr. Blatano's mouth, but it was too late.

The Poké Ball at his waist trembled and opened on its own, and Larvitar, clutching a piece of ore, rushed out, its big eyes wide.

"Yo-yo-yo!"

I heard it!
Tyranitar's Mega Stone!

As a cub of the desert tyrant, Larvitar dreams every night that he has evolved into the ferocious desert tyrant Tyranitar Tyranitar!

Isn't this Mega Stone for Tyranitar prepared just for it?
Gengar looks so cool when it Mega Evolves; everyone has seen it for themselves.

Unfortunately, Mega Evolution requires a matching Mega Stone, and not just any Pokémon can Mega Evolve.

And its young Kira is a member of the enviable real-name system.

How could Tyranitar not be excited to hear that it actually has a matching Mega Stone?

Young Giras took out the sunglasses Gengar had given it, put them on its face, and lowered its voice.

"Yo-yo~!"

Desert, your tyrant has returned!
Boom!
Whoops!

Young Kiras covered his head, looking pitifully at Jing He, who then said irritably:

"Don't be so childish, it might not even be true."

But this matter...
If they didn't know, that would be fine, but now that they do, both Young Gilas and Jinghe have indeed had the idea of ​​giving it a try.

It's a Mega Evolution Stone, after all, worth at least eight figures, so it's worth trying.

Seeing the adorable appearance of baby Gilas, Dr. Blatano laughed:
"I originally had the idea of ​​helping you find a Mega Stone for Tyranitar, but Mega Stones are not only hard to find, but matching them is also entirely based on luck."

If he had a Tyranitar Mega Stone, he wouldn't mind giving it to Jing He directly.

"As for exchanging Super Evolution Stones at the 'Battle Castle,' you'd probably need to reach the rank of 'Duke' to be eligible to do so."

Duke
According to the invitation, Jing He is already an earl. Above an earl is a marquis, and above a marquis is a duke.

It's only two titles away.
However, the fact that only the Elite Four from the Kalos region currently hold the title of Duke shows that the title system in "Battle Castle" is quite prestigious.

To reach the rank of Duke is almost equivalent to possessing the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings.

talk later.

Anyway, I came to Carlos for tourism and to take care of some lingering issues. I have a lot of time, and I should definitely visit such a famous place as "Battle Castle".

Big deal.
Let's just take Young Gilas to level up.

"Could you please help me upgrade the Carlos region map in the Pokédex, Doctor?" Jing He changed the subject.

"no problem."

Although the encyclopedia contains a map of the Carlos region, this public version differs somewhat from the internal Carlos League version owned by Dr. Blatano.

Moreover, the alliance is constantly evolving, and significant changes occur in the region every so often. Timely updates will be beneficial for Jinghe and his group's upcoming journey.

After upgrading the encyclopedia map and lingering at Dr. Blatano's research institute for a while longer, Jinghe took her leave.

His first priority upon arriving in the Kalos region was to find the group of Pokémon hunters who had captured and sold the Ice Ninetales.

However, considering that she didn't want to touch on Ice Nine-Tailed Fox's painful past, Jinghe didn't tell the little guys about this main purpose for the time being, so as not to excite them too much.

Therefore, he used the guise of a trip and searching for diamond mines for Eurythmus to make everyone have as much fun as possible.

Of course, he also obtained some information about Pokémon hunter groups active in the Kalos region from Team Rocket, making it his second target for this trip, so that the little guys wouldn't be completely unprepared.

With Route 7, where the "Battle Castle" is located, as his temporary target, Jinghe rode his Rotom bicycle and slowly left Lucerne City.

"Rotom, off-road mode."

"Received! Super Transformation Loto!"

Rotom shouted, and the bicycle tires instantly transformed into mountain tires adapted to off-road environments, along with a super shock absorption system, allowing Jinghe to ride without much stress even on uneven terrain.

Before long, Jinghe rode his bicycle to a stream.

They immediately changed direction and headed south along the stream.

The clear stream babbles, its surface rippling with gentle waves. The fragrance of grass and flowers is invigorating, giving one the feeling of traveling across a vast, boundless wilderness.

Jinghe wasn't riding very fast, but he managed to summon all the little ones who wanted to go out for a stroll.

"Woo~~"

Dragonite flew in the sky, while Ninetales nimbly ran alongside the bicycle.

On the back seat of the bicycle, Young Kiras and the Great Blacksmith huddled together, each holding an ice cream cone, dangling their little feet as they ate vanilla ice cream.

Gengar hovered at the very back, its eyes darting around, seemingly plotting some mischievous idea.

"Nimi~~"

Bictini nestled on Jinghe's head, pulling at his hair with one hand and eating a macaron with the other, excitedly squealing whenever she saw something fun.

"Won't I start losing my hair at such a young age because of Bicotini?" Jinghe thought to herself.

After cycling for a while, Jinghe stopped at a relatively flat area.

"How about we camp here tonight?" Jinghe suggested.

These words were immediately met with agreement from all the little ones.

Camping! Camping! Camping! It's been so long since I've gone camping!
Gengar called out, eagerly anticipating the arrival of night to greet the wild Pokémon in the vicinity.

"Gengar, get the tent out. The task of setting up the tent is yours and Instructor Bear's."

"哓GA!"

"Hoo!"

Gengar and Urshifu immediately accepted the order.

Gengar dug out a fairly large tent from the shadows, and with the help of Urshifu, the two little guys quickly set up the tent.

For some reason, Jinghe glanced at the tent and felt a strange sense of unease.

Gengar eagerly crawled inside, and after experiencing the soft cushion, it poked its head out and gave Jinghe a "perfect" gesture.

"Genga~!"

I really am a genius at setting up tents!
Seeing its silly, childish grin, Jinghe suddenly didn't feel eerie anymore.

Jinghe smiled and shook her head, took the warehouse manager's arm, and walked into the babbling brook. The cool water brought a refreshing coolness unique to summer. "Nimi."

Bictini leaned on his shoulder, looking down at the stream below, seemingly wanting to touch it but also hesitant.

"It's alright, it's just a stream," Jinghe encouraged.

However, before Victini could make a move, the baby Gilas, as if given permission, raised its paws above its head in a diving posture, and then...
boom! !

Shallow-water bomb!

As water splashed everywhere, Young Gilas's head plunged straight into the stream, its obtuse horn disappearing into the riverbed.

Victini, who had been eager to try, shook his head repeatedly.

Jing He: "."

Holding the young Gilas by one of its constantly wobbling and kicking feet, Jinghe lifted it upside down.

"Yo-yo~(￣~￣)"

But then I saw that the little green thing had its mouth bulging, as if it was chewing something.

Then Jinghe noticed that a large section of the riverbed was missing.

Jinghe: "Is it delicious?"

"Yo-yo~ Yo-yo~"

Young Gilas shook its head, indicating that there was a fishy smell, and the taste wasn't very good.

"Then why did you swallow it?"

Jinghe sighed and placed the little creature on the shore.

Also no one.

A breeze blew by.

"Woo——"

Dragonite flew merrily close to the water's surface, its round belly splashing up white sprays as it touched the water.

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox lay on the soft grass on the shore, looking serene and obedient.

After setting up the tent with Gengar, Coach Xiong stood by the stream and silently began practicing his boxing, as if he had returned to the days when he trained at the Water Tower on the Isle of Armor.

Azure Flame Blade Demon was setting up cooking utensils with the Great Blacksmith. Azure Flame Blade Demon was in charge of burning charcoal, while the Great Blacksmith was temporarily forging what he considered to be the perfect "legendary cooking utensils".

"It's too early to set it up," Jing He reminded them, and seeing that they didn't react much, she shook her head.

"Well, in this kind of environment, it would be a shame not to catch a few fish, it would be a disservice to the nature of a true angler."

As he spoke, he took out his newly purchased "high-end fishing rod"!
Since we're going on a trip, and we've already set up the tent and everything else, how can we forget the fishing rod?

As for why it's not a "top-tier fishing rod," that's because "top-tier fishing rods" are too expensive.

"(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~"

Jinghe found a large pebble by the stream and sat down. "How could a true master be influenced by external things?"

Shake off confidently.

thump—

With a crisp sound, the fishhook, baited with Jing He's special preparation, sank into the water.

Half an hour later.
"Damn it, I should have bought a 'top-of-the-line fishing rod'! This 'high-end fishing rod' is definitely not up to my skill level!"

Looking at the water plants hanging on the fishing hook, Jinghe muttered to herself.

He tossed the water plants aside, took a deep breath, and said with a touch of melancholy:
"Indeed, a true master should always have the heart of a student."

As an apprentice, you should use the best fishing rod.

“Nimi~-('')”

Bictini fluttered around him, cheering him on, thinking that Jinghe spoke with such style.

A few little finches flew by in the sky. Jing He turned around and finally saw the scene that made his teeth itch.

I saw.

Gengar, Greatsmith, and Baby Girat are actually building a small riverbank upstream of him!

No wonder I couldn't even catch a Magikarp!
This feeling is like someone who has drunk their fill of water downstream discovering that someone is urinating upstream—it's like a thousand curses churning in one's mind.

"Yo-yo~ Yo-yo~"

Young Gilas didn't know how it was doing it. It stood by the riverbank, waving behind it. Two digging rabbits, whose origins were unknown, were passing it dirt through their ears.

Gengar was responsible for piling the soil handed over by Larvitar onto the riverbank, while the Greatsmith stood in the middle of the riverbank, using a hammer to tamp it down to strengthen its structure.

Jing He: "."

"You guys..." Jing He didn't know what to say.

"Genga?"

Gengar bared its teeth, signaling to Jinghe to rest assured that there was no chance of an empty field today!

"Don't you think you're damaging the environment?" Jing He asked, her face showing anger.

Eh?
The three little ones looked at each other for a few moments and scratched their heads.

Yes, is there?
"Nine-Tailed Fox!" Jing He had no choice but to unleash his "ultimate move" and immediately shouted.

"Ouch?"

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, who was taking a nap on the haystack, immediately opened its eyes upon hearing Jing He's call, sat up, and revealed a hint of ferocity on its face.

in danger?
I accidentally fell asleep just now. How careless of me!
Upon seeing Jinghe summon Ninetales, Gengar, Greatsmith, and Larvitar immediately declared – "We've behaved ourselves, please let us go!"

slam-la-

The stream returned to its previous slightly rapid flow.

"哓GA!"

Just a second ago, Gengar was listless with its head down and ears drooping. Suddenly, it seemed to have discovered something and immediately jumped into the stream with a "Hungry Ghost Pounce".

When Gengar poked its head out of the water again, it was holding two light blue shrimp that were only half a meter long.

Gengar was holding one in each hand.

He put on swimming goggles and actually struck a pose like a dual-gun ranger!

It was because it was holding two iron-armed pistol shrimp in its hands!
"Genga! ψ(｀)ψ"

Gengar grabbed their relatively smaller claws and held up their larger claws. With a gentle push and a bit of force, it shot out two jets of water from the pincers of the two Iron-armed Shrimp.

"Yo-yo!"

Goodness, this scene made all the little ones' eyes light up.

Gengar struck a pose as if to show off, and with the cape and belt it pulled out, it actually did have a bit of a futuristic warrior vibe.

"Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp, the Water Gun Pokémon, Water-type, is said to be a type of lobster with exceptionally delicious meat, very popular in the Kalos region! *slurp*"

Delicious meat?

Upon hearing this, Gengar, Larvitar, and the other little guys immediately shifted their focus.

The two Iron-Armed Shrimp in Gengar's hands shrank back, sensing an unprecedented "threat".

Iron-armed pistol shrimp: Σ(дlll)
hum-

Two blue light waves emanated from the claws of the two iron-armed pistol shrimp. Unlike the water guns from before, these light waves were waveguides!

Wave missile!
"Roar!!"

Upon sensing the waveguide, Coach Xiong immediately shouted.

Let go, let me do it!

at the same time.

A halo of light flowed back and forth across the claws of the iron-armed pistol shrimp, as if it were charging up or gathering power.

This is due to the Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp's unique feature—the Super Launcher!

[Super Launcher: Pokémon with this ability will have the power of any Wave or Aura move (excluding Heal Pulse) increased by 50%, and the recovery effect of Heal Pulse will also be increased by 50%!]

Besides Mega Blastoise, Jinghe knows that only Iron-Armored Shrimp and its evolved form Steelix possess this characteristic.

It is a perfect fit for wave-type moves, including Aura Sphere.

boom!boom!
Under Gengar's control, the two Aura Spheres exploded on the water's surface, creating two huge splashes of water that scattered in all directions.

"Gah! Crack—!"

Invincible!!
Not only Gengar, but also Greatsmith, Dragonite, Urshifu, and even Larvitar all looked eager to try their luck.

Should I say or not
Pokémon like Iron-Armored Shrimp and Steelix are indeed very suitable for the player who has Aura.

Even Jing He had a thought in his mind.
With my waveguide, I can't yet create hand-held wave missiles, but if I add an iron-armed pistol shrimp, wouldn't that be...
"Ouch."

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox gently tugged at Jing He's hand and pointed to the water's surface.

See you soon.

Two Steel-Armed Shrimp, one male and one female, poked their heads out of the water, watching Gengar "torture" their two babies without making a sound, only giving a cold laugh.

At the same time, two larger, more imposing, and more intimidating "cannons" emerged from the water, their surfaces shimmering with light.

Jing He: "."

"Cough cough, Gengar, Gengar!"

Jinghe called out twice.

Gengar, however, was so engrossed in his "Priest Ranger" persona that he failed to notice what was happening behind him.

next second.

Bang - Bang -

Two surging waves of water erupted from the enormous pincers—

A few minutes later.

Jinghe pressed Gengar's head down, expressed his apology to the two wild Shrimp, and took out an Energy Cube as a token of his sincerity.

"Feel sorry."

"Genga."

The two bruised and swollen cannon-armed shrimp looked at each other.

I can't stand it, I can't stand it.
"Kucha."

The Azure Flame Blade Demon, which had been mostly silent until now, suddenly murmured. The image of the "super launcher" surfacing in its mind, along with the wave missile, flashed through its mind, as if it had gained some insight.

Kaka-

It turned the knob on its body and immediately switched from Azure Flame Blade Demon to Crimson Lotus Armor Knight form.

The gun barrel and waveguide are all complete!
Water can be replaced by flames, and the Crimson Knight already possesses aura spectroscopy. Therefore, theoretically, the process of making the aura spectroscopy's waves more powerful...
