Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 642 Xerneas's Gift (Part 2, please vote!)
Yveltal readily gave her another fragment of the fairy stone tablet.

But speaking of it.

This thing is really useless to it. As a Dark-type Pokémon, what is it doing holding a Fairy Slate fragment? Is it trying to control itself?
Meanwhile, Xerneas whispered:

This fragment of the fairy stone tablet was reassembled by Deathwing using the life energy it had absorbed during its previous suppression of Yveltal. It can increase the speed at which Yveltal can recover itself using life energy.

Not much though.

But it is indeed somewhat useful.

But Jinghe still took it without hesitation, since this thing was much more useful to him than to Yveltal.

This is the end.

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox and the Great Blacksmith, neither of whom are particularly proficient in Fairy-type monsters, each obtained a fragment of a Fairy Stone Tablet, so they no longer had to pass it around or take turns every day.

Is that okay?

Yveltal's tone was still not very good, and it was a bit aggressive.

But Jinghe admired its "unruly" demeanor and nodded, saying:
"Thank you for your hard work, Yveltal. Consider this compensation."

As he spoke, he took out several boxes of energy cubes and placed them in front of Yveltal.

Ok?
Looking at the energy cubes, Yveltal was stunned. He hadn't expected things to develop this way, and his previously bitter and resentful expression softened considerably.

If there's nothing else, I'm leaving!

As it spoke, it picked up the energy cube in its mouth, flapped its wings, and prepared to leave.

However, Jinghe hurriedly asked:
"Wait a moment!"

Is there anything else?

Yveltal's eyes widened, and his expression turned hostile once again.

"I just wanted to ask, have you seen the King of AZ?" Jing He asked.

AZ disappeared early in the morning. Although he said he was going to clear his head, Jinghe felt that Yveltal's sudden resurgence was somewhat related to him.

Upon hearing Jing He's question about AZ, Ypeltar gave a cold snort in annoyance.

He has already paid the price he deserved!

After saying that, he flapped his blood-red wings again and flew out of the Oruans Forest.

Nobody knows where it will go.

But I reckon it won't be able to wreak havoc and devour all life like it did when it awoke this time.

"just"

The master blacksmith held the hammer, looking regretful.

What a magnificent bird!
Unfortunately, they were too strong and couldn't stay.

However, since the other party gave him a fragment of a fairy stone tablet, he should be considered a "good" bird, right?
Don't worry, Yveltal was mostly driven by instinct when it first recovered. Once it regains its senses, it won't go too far.

Xerneas's gentle voice resonated in their hearts.

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

At worst, I'll just beat it up again.

“Those petrified Pokémon,” Steven said.

Xerneas didn't speak, but its actions gave Daigo the answer.

It raised its head slightly, and the branches above it emitted a seven-colored light. A fairy aura spread from its feet, and a vibrant life force rippled outwards.

Some of the petrified Pokémon that were closer to the source gradually recovered under this power.

This included the notorious thief, Algais.

"Daddy!!" When Milis saw Arges recover, she rushed to him, tears streaming down her face.

The joy of reunion is certainly delightful, but...
Jing He gave Reggie Elech a look.

"Reggie."

Reggie Elech scratched his head and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Kill him again?
Jing He: "."

"Keep an eye on them," Jing He said helplessly.

No matter how touching Argais's actions to protect his daughter may have been, it is not a reason to erase their "crimes".

"Elech!"

Reginald suddenly realized.

Follow me.

Xerneas moved with light steps toward the deep pit where Yveltal had previously slept.

As it moves, the area covered by the fairy aura gradually expands.

quickly.

In the heart of the Oruans Forest, beside a deep pit and a dark pool, a vibrant, multicolored aura of life energy swept by.

AZ, who had been petrified while sitting on the rock in the pool, slowly recovered under the influence of this power.

"Jing, Jinghe?"

When AZ opened his eyes and saw Jinghe and Dawu, he looked somewhat dazed.

Isn't it already dead?

"Zerg...Zergnias!"

When AZ saw Xerneas behind Jing He and the others, he stood up abruptly.

But Xerneas took a small half-step back.

Seeing this, AZ gave a wry smile and stopped trying to get closer.

"King of AZ, what is this?" Korni couldn't help but ask.

Did AZ awaken Yveltal, attempting to seek death through Yveltal's power?

AZ turned and glanced at the murky pool, then said in a low voice:

“I originally intended to settle down here, partly to express my apology to Yveltal, and partly in the hope that when Yveltal awakens, he can help me to eliminate some of the hatred and resentment.”

He hadn't expected to be able to awaken Yveltal, but he thought that if Yveltal petrified him first after waking up, he might be able to save the life of one less Pokémon.

"But Yveltal woke up as soon as you got close?" Jing He asked.

AZ nodded. "I didn't expect that either."

Since Xerneas was unwilling to see him, the only person he could find was Yveltal.

Yveltal sensed your presence and awoke prematurely from the Cocoon of Destruction.

At this moment, Xerneas, who had taken a step back, turned his head and whispered the reason.

Upon hearing this, AZ was taken aback. "So that's how it is."

As he spoke, he suddenly jolted, reached out and grabbed Jing He's shoulder, and hurriedly asked, "What about Yveltal now? What's the situation outside?"

“It’s over, Mr. AZ,” Jing He said.

AZ breathed a sigh of relief, and gratitude appeared in his eyes as he looked at Jinghe, Daigo, Korni, and the others.

But Jinghe added, "It said that you have paid the price you should have paid, and it has forgiven you."

"You...you forgive me?"

AZ was completely stunned, her eyes slightly red.

"well."

What good is forgiveness earned with one's life?
Jing He looked at Xerneas.

Xernias, noticing his gaze, sighed softly.

I've seen everything you've done over the years—planting trees in the Oriannes Forest and helping wild Pokémon.

"I just wanted to do something, whatever I could to make up for it."

Since we've been given a second chance at life, let's live it to the fullest.

With that, Xerneas leaped lightly onto the edge of the pit.

AZ was stunned again and subconsciously looked at Jing He.

Jing He smiled and said, "Mr. AZ, it seems they have all forgiven you."

【Jinghe, come up here.】

Xernias, who had jumped onto the deep pit, did not leave, but simply called out to Jing He.

"coming."

Jing He stood on tiptoe, trying to pat AZ's shoulder, but realized she couldn't reach him, so she patted his arm and said:
“Mr. AZ, I might know where your flower petals are. I’ll explain in detail later.”

Before AZ could react, he mounted Dragonite and returned to the top of the pit.

Xerneas lowered his head, trying to look Jing He in the eye, and said with deep gratitude:
Thank you for your help, Jing He, messenger of Arceus.

"No need to be polite." Jing He waved her hand. "I just encountered the situation and, since I had the ability to intervene, I did it."

"Besides, I did gain something."

The two fragments of the fairy stone tablets alone make them excellent value for money.

and.

Gengar also learned something from Xerneas's Fairy Aura and Yveltal's Dark Aura, which made it realize that the move "Dark Water," which it originally didn't know was a terrain or weather effect, was an aura.

I don't know when it started, but our Gengar from the Jing family has become increasingly detached from the category of ordinary Pokémon.

This made Jinghe sigh with emotion.

The bolder the ghost, the more elaborate the moves; there's nothing they wouldn't dare to do, only things they dare to dream of.

By piecing things together and copying from various sources, you can always learn something.

It turns out.

Pokémon's potential may have a limit, but the imagination surrounding Pokémon is limitless.

It's not just Pokémon.

The Hoenn region's Meteor Clan recorded Rayquaza's "finishing touch" in a scroll so that Rayquaza could learn from it better.

But as for where the original "finishing touch" came from, and why Liekongzuo had to learn it again, that remains unknown.

But this also illustrates one thing.

Pokémon moves, even legendary moves, can be learned as long as they are compatible with the Pokémon's element.

The only difference is the difficulty of learning; the difference between having a Pokémon personally teach you and not having one is significant.

Of course, the biggest difference is that the real power of legendary Pokémon, especially so-called "first-tier gods" like Xerneas, lies not in their moves, but in the "authority" they possess.

Xerneas can draw upon the power of life, and Yveltal can absorb the power of life—something other Pokémon cannot learn.

Xernias smiled.

Jing He received what he deserved, but that doesn't mean Xernias didn't express his opinion.

Is your Gengar learning about Aura?

Xerneas nodded and said, "Why don't we let it out to learn some more?"

"Genga?"

Before Jinghe could speak, Gengar appeared out from behind him.

Learning aura, is it me? Is it me?
Also, your Fairy-type Pokémon can be affected by my aura.

What a wonderful gift!
Without hesitation, Jinghe threw out a Poké Ball and summoned Ninetales and Greatsmith again.

"Awoo?" The Ice Nine-Tails looked at the elegant Xerneas.

"just?"

The master blacksmith, who was holding the hammer handle and preparing to take a nap, scratched his head.

Jinghe trusted Xerneas quite a bit, after all, it was one of the few mythical beasts that wouldn't start a fight immediately upon meeting.

【coming. 】

Xernias offered a gentle reminder.

hum-

An extremely powerful fairy-type energy was released from its body, and the already spreading fairy aura surged again, even more so than when it had instilled fairy aura into Diancie earlier.

"Genga~(_)"

Gengar, wearing his erudite glasses, rubbed his chin as he looked and nodded.

I see, I see.
The purest fairy-type energy fell into the hands of Nine-Tails and Greatsmith, with Nine-Tails being the primary recipient.

The two Fairy-type Pokémon are Ninetales, which is stronger in Special Attack, while Greatsmith is better at Physical Attack. Xerneas, although a Pokémon with good Attack and Special Attack, is better suited to Special Attack in battle.

so.
"Ow~"

The snow-white fur of the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox was instantly tinged with a layer of crystalline pink, and its nine tails swam like agile fish. In its azure eyes, the figure of Xerneas was reflected.

[More talented than expected!]

Xerneas was enveloped in an energy that slowly grew roots from its feet, and its entire body gradually transformed into the shape of a tree.

Ok?
Jing He, who witnessed this scene, was somewhat surprised.

Xerneas is about to fall asleep?

A peculiar fairy aura continued to emanate from it.

Release your misty atmosphere.

"Ouch~~"

Ice Nine-Tail raised its head slightly and let out a long howl, a light pink aura spreading from its body.

The master blacksmith gripped his hammer.

I don't know how.
"Feel it well." Jing He patted the giant blacksmith's head.

Oh!
The master blacksmith immediately became serious.

Jinghe couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What incredibly rich fairy energy! It's probably unique in the entire Pokémon world right now. No wonder the Kalos region is considered the origin of Fairy-type Pokémon; Xerneas's existence is key.

Even he felt as if his body was cheering, and every cell in his body was benefiting.

"Could our lifespan have been extended?" Jinghe wondered.

Ok?
However, before he could pay much attention to the changes in himself, he sensed that the mist field of the Ice Nine-Tails was changing under the influence of the wave guide.

The fairy-like energy seemed to be drawing power from the vast earth.

"This is."

In your human terms, it's called 'Earth Domination'.

Zernias provided an explanation.

Control of the earth!

Xerneas's signature move.

After accumulating power for a period of time, it can significantly increase a Pokémon's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed!

If only Nine-Tails could learn this move.
Wow, an epic buff!
But... isn't this a bit unreasonable?

Even though it's not impossible to learn the moves of mythical beasts, but...
[Your Nine-Tails is very clever; it knows how to use 'Mist Terrain' to harness Fairy-type energy.]

Even Xerneas couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"of course."

Faced with Xerneas's praise of his Ice Nine-Tails, Jing He was much like a father whose daughter had been praised, readily acknowledging it without any hesitation.

If Ninetales could learn Earth Control, combined with its own personality and characteristics, its Special Attack and Special Defense would skyrocket, and it would also be incredibly fast, constantly building Ice Wall and Aurora Curtain.
Perfect match!

Snowfall increases the physical defense of Ice-type Pokémon.

At once, both defenses were replenished.

The opponent can't break through, can't catch up, and can't even withstand one hit from the Ice Nine-Tails.

just
How did our elegant and charming Ice Nine-Tails end up going further and further down the path of becoming a "mobile tank"?

Xernias smiled.

Gengar and Greatsmith are also quite good.

Gengar can simulate auras, Greatsmith
Jinghe looked at the master blacksmith.

I found this girl had fallen asleep while hugging a hammer?!

Is this what you call not bad?
But upon closer inspection using his waveguide, he discovered that the Great Blacksmith was actually absorbing the life energy from Xerneas's fairy aura, using his hammer.

broken!

Is the hammer absorbing life energy to come back to life?

It's really the real thing now?

More importantly...

Xerneas looked at Jing He with approval in his eyes.

I can feel their dependence on and attachment to you; you are the key to guiding their growth.

Jing He adjusted his glasses. "Well, it's all thanks to the kids' own hard work."

God knows how much energy he expends every day to keep his house from being demolished. Wait, energy.
Having been baptized by Xerneas's fairy aura, their little ones' energy is probably...
Jinghe turned to look at Kuailong.

I noticed it was staring at me with its bright, innocent eyes, blinking twice.

Simultaneously.

Jinghe also sensed that not only Dragonite, but even the Pokémon inside their Poké Balls had received Xerneas's gifts to varying degrees.

Just like when Diancie received Xerneas's fairy aura baptism, her overall level increased!

It's over.

but.

As the fairy aura continued, Xerneas's transformation into a tree also continued, and its condition visibly deteriorated.

I hope to see you all again next time.

Xerneas's voice gradually faded, and the intense fairy aura slowly dissipated.

finally.

Xerneas, the god of life, transformed into a rather sturdy tree, rapidly sprouting branches, and the earth at his feet, which had withered and decayed due to Yveltal's power, once again came back to life.

Green grass slowly covered the ground.

Xerneas fell into a deep sleep.

It seems it truly approves of you all.

At this time.

The long-silent Zygarde core has finally spoken.

"How to say?"

The Zygarde Core, perched on Jing He's shoulder, watched the clouds dissipate in the sky, bathed in the sunlight, and seemed to glow with a faint fluorescence.

Yveltal's awakening foreshadowed Xerneas's slumber.

This is balance.

When life brings so much vitality, death always takes some away.

The rules are the way they are, and no one can change them.

But before it fell into slumber, it gave you all the life energy it had accumulated.

"tsk"

Jing He smacked her lips, not expecting Xerneas to offer so much.

"Thank you, Xerneas. Perhaps we'll meet again sometime in the future."

But if Xerneas sleeps for a thousand years, then forget it.

"Genga?!"

Huh?! Asleep?
Gengar, who was pondering the aura, suddenly jumped up.

It’s broken, it’s broken!

Gengar paced back and forth.

I was thinking that since Xerneas is the god of life, and AZ gained immortality through the life energy radiation of the "ultimate weapon," could Xerneas also grant Jinghe immortality?

As a result, I was so busy figuring out my aura that I forgot about it.

However, Gengar quickly calmed down.

It's alright, it's alright, I still have a backup plan.

Gengar patted its chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

Jinghe looked at Gengar with a puzzled expression, wondering what the chubby purple-skinned boy was thinking.

He shook his head and looked at the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.

"How about it?"

"Ow~"

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox nuzzled against Jing He affectionately, then nodded.

Learned!
Jinghe was overjoyed.

In this way, Gengar's normal strength is roughly at the level of a champion's main fighter. Considering Mega Evolution and some miscellaneous unique abilities, it is highly likely that it can be slightly stronger than a regular champion's ace in a surprise attack.

The Ice Nine-Tails was originally a little short, but now, having received Xerneas's greatest gift, its strength might be slightly above that of an average Champion mainstay.

Their strength has increased significantly!
Moreover, Jinghe's previous "algorithm" was based on normal circumstances. If there is a "breakout", the situation is hard to say, as anyone could potentially "breakout".

Although "breaking out" doesn't triple your strength like "going dark," it still has a decent potential.

While the giant blacksmith was still asleep, Jinghe simply put it into the deluxe sphere.

Let's wait until it wakes up and see. At most, the hammer might come to life.

In the Pokémon world, Sword and Shield can survive, so what if Hammer survives?

I didn't see any Swordhound or Shieldhound from the Galar region. They're called legendary Pokémon, but they're just the ear "frames" of Sword and Shield.

"By the way, do all the legendary Pokémon in your Kalos region really like 'earth'?" Jing He said to the Zygarde Core on his shoulder.

What does this mean?

“Look, Xerneas’s Earth Mastery is clearly a Fairy-type move, but it’s named ‘Earth.’ People who don’t know it might think it’s a Ground-type move. You also have a move called ‘Earth God Power,’ right?” Jing He counted on her fingers.

Don't let Larvitar find out that Nine-Tails has learned the "Earth Control" move and then desperately want to learn it too.

How did you know?!

The Zygard core was quite surprised by this.

It doesn't make a move very often. Last time, human technology hadn't even developed to this scale yet, so how could its moves have been known?

and many more.

[I am a Ground-type!]

"Kygerd's core shouted."

"Oh, right. Another 'Earth Dragon,' four times weak to ice."

Zygarde is a Ground/Dragon type.

Zygard Core: "."

"Haha, just kidding, don't take it too seriously," Jing He laughed.

Why would I stoop to your level?

"When will you release a Gundam so I can pilot it?"

What is 'Gundam'?

Jing He pursed her lips, slightly disappointed that she didn't get the reaction she expected.

"Next time you have the chance, let Rotom transform you and see what you look like in your complete form."

"Lotto?"

Rotom blinked.

Transform into a Gundam? Me?
【Then you're probably going to be disappointed. After I team up with my partner, we might not be so easy to talk to.】

Zygarde's core head was slightly raised, revealing a hint of arrogance.

"By the way, where's your partner?"

【it】

When the topic turned to another core of Zygarde, its expression became somewhat unnatural.

I've temporarily lost contact with it, probably due to the influence of the aura surrounding the battle between Yveltal and Xerneas.

Contact has been lost?
Jing He was taken aback.

Could it be that they've been captured by Team Flare?
Are Zygards so easy to catch?

"Xerneas...it turned into a tree?!"

When Korni, who had just arrived, saw the big tree, she exclaimed in surprise.

Following closely behind, Daigo, Az, and the others also came up.

Everyone was quite surprised that Xerneas turned into a tree and fell into a deep sleep.

AZ stood in front of the tree, surprised but also filled with emotion and gratitude.

“Thank you, Xerneas,” AZ said sincerely.

He then turned to Jing He and the others and said, "Thank you too."

"It's all thanks to your own hard work." Diancie, who hadn't yet shed her super-evolved state, smiled and her eyes crinkled.

"By the way, Diancie, this is your diamond." Jinghe took out the pink diamond with the Mega Evolution symbol in the center.

But Tianxi shook her head and said softly, "This is a testament to our friendship."

Upon hearing this, Jing He smiled but didn't say anything. She simply smiled and put the item into the inner pocket of her clothes.

Daigo, who was standing to the side, was a little envious.

Pink diamonds.
It's huge.

As it leaves Diancie, the super-evolutionary energy within the diamond will slowly dissipate and return to Diancie itself, but the significance of this diamond is more valuable than its physical form.

At this moment, Diancie bowed slightly.

"I would like to invite everyone to visit the diamond-producing country."

After regaining her confidence, Diancie exudes self-assurance in every gesture.

It wants to invite everyone to witness the creation of the "Eternal Crystal".

Daigo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Diamond-producing countries?

Wouldn't that mean there would be many rare and precious stones?
"Don't mind that Young Gilas can eat a lot." Jinghe looked at Daigo and saw what she wanted to see, and said with satisfaction.

Tianxi shook her head.

"No, you'll be full!"

It had witnessed firsthand the appetite of young Gilas.

It emphasizes confidence and arrogance.

Tsk——

In terms of "generosity" alone, Jinghe actually thinks that Diancie and Daigo are quite similar.

"I'm sorry, Diancie."

AZ apologized.

He looked at the tree that Xerneas had transformed into and said earnestly, "I want to stay here and restore the forest with Xerneas."

“Mr. AZ,” Corne grabbed his arm.

AZ smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. Before, I did it to repent and to be forgiven. Now, I do it because I want to."

One was driven by ulterior motives, the other by genuine feelings; AZ felt relieved.

"Yes!" Tianxi didn't seem disappointed either, nodding in agreement. "There will be many more opportunities in the future!"

“But Mr. AZ,” Jinghe said, “why don’t we go check on the flower buds first?”

AZ was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Jinghe, do you know where the flower petal stem is?"

"I think I guessed it."

"guessed."

Jinghe looked in a distant direction, "Mr. AZ visited the Hoenn region a thousand years ago, didn't he?"

"Ok?"

"You planted a tree."

AZ's body trembled slightly. "You mean..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the flower bud has always been near that tree."

Although she did not forgive AZ, Huayedi accompanied AZ in her own way.

Or
"You have never been alone for thousands of years."

AZ is actually accompanying Huayedi.

AZ tilted her head slightly, and under the sunlight, two glistening streaks appeared on her cheeks.

“I,” AZ began hoarsely.

"Of course, I can also help you bring Flower Leaf Stem over, and you can keep Xernias company together."

Jinghe knew that AZ was struggling with his decision. He had just made the decision to help Xerneas, and he might feel bad if he left right after saying it.

"Thank you." AZ felt a sense of relief, followed by barely suppressed excitement.

Despite having lived for over three thousand years, when I heard news about the flower leaf bud, my mentality remained that of a child.

The decaying and deteriorating aura that had previously emanated from him also diminished considerably.

"You're too kind," Jing He waved his hand.

It's just a matter of making one more trip.

Anyway, his summer vacation is still a long way off.

After we finish visiting the diamond mining country, we'll go see Ma Xiu, whom Cynthia had arranged to meet beforehand.

Although both Nine-Tails and Greatsmith have received Xerneas's protection, it's always good to learn more about Fairy-type training knowledge and skills.

Moreover, Ma Xiu had promised to design a set of clothes for him.

It's not good to stand someone up.

correct.

"Tianxi, please wait for me for a moment."

Jinghe thought of the father-daughter thieves, Argais and Milis.

Although their main target in the Kalos region wasn't them, they might know about the group of Pokémon hunters Jinghe was looking for.

"Mmm!" Tianxi nodded obediently.

Jinghe returned to the place where she had been before.

I saw it.
Regigigas was sitting on a bench-like rock, his hands supporting his head, staring straight at Argais and his companion, as well as their Pokémon.

sizzle-

The cage made of golden lightning kept Argas and his daughter and their Pokémon from moving, and they huddled inside like quails.

Jinghe couldn't help but laugh.

Especially after seeing Regigi Elegy sitting on a small stool staring at him, he laughed even more heartlessly.

"Reggie?"

Hearing the noise, Regigi Elech turned his head.

"Well done, Regigi Elech." Jing He couldn't help but reach out and pat Regigi Elech on the shoulder to encourage him.

Who knew?
Crack!

The moment he touched it, a leaping arc of light gave him a direct, chilling shock.

Forgot that Regigi is a purely electric being; touching him would be disastrous.

Jinghe personally experienced what it felt like for Zhiye to withstand 100,000 volts, and felt that it was better to let Zhiye enjoy it himself.

"Ellage"

Seeing Jinghe get electrocuted, the innocent Reggie Elech acted like a child who had made a mistake.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Jing He exhaled a breath of black smoke and waved his hands repeatedly. "It's not a big problem. I'll just get a pair of gloves that can block electricity next time."

The one by Ma Xueshi is quite good.

"Reggie!"

Upon hearing that there was a solution, Regigi Elech immediately perked up and let out a deep but powerful shout.

have to say.

The ancient giants were truly simple-minded beings; Regigigas was like that, and so were the divine pillars he created.

But who wouldn't want to be friends with a simple-minded person?

Jinghe took out an energy cube as a small reward for Reggie Elech.

Regigi Elech didn't stand on ceremony and immediately sat down on the ground to the side, grabbed an energy cube and started eating it, his gaze lingering on Arges and his daughter.

No wonder that nowadays, you can always find divine pillars guarding the ruins, big and small. With such a serious attitude, who wouldn't feel at ease?
At Reggio Emilia's prompting, Jing He reluctantly sat down on the "small stool" where he had been sitting.

Look at the Argais father and daughter.

Slightly different wording.

"Do you want to go mining, or do you want to spend forty or fifty years in prison?"

Upon hearing this, both Argais and Milis turned pale instantly.
