Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 65 Evolution, Gastly!
"Ooh?"

Sixtails, Jinghe, and some students around them all stared in astonishment at Gastly, which was enveloped in white light.

"口桀"

Even Gastly itself was confused.

Within the white light, Gastly's body gradually changed, and a pair of claws slowly grew out.

The mist gradually spread and slowly solidified into a ghostly face covered with jagged spikes, which appeared on both sides.

Those big, round white eyes became narrow and elongated, almost triangular, giving them a more sinister look compared to before.

A ghostly blue flame burned in his black pupils, and his short fangs transformed into sharp tusks.

As the white light gradually faded, the transformed Gastly finally reappeared.

No, it should be called Haunter now!
"Kou Jie——"

Gastly scratched its two claws that were hovering beside it, looked left and then right, seemingly finding it both novel and amusing. Its voice also became much deeper than before.

"Ghoststone."

Jing He, standing to the side, called out with a smile.

"Kou Jie?"

Gastly paused for a moment before realizing that it was being called.

He immediately squinted his eyes happily, stuck out an even bigger tongue, and licked Jing He.

Upon seeing this, Jing He's expression changed, and she hurriedly shouted:
"No! This outfit is very expensive! Drooling...drooling!"

suck-

"Hiss—the numbness is even stronger!"

Click!

The spiciness of the cherry fruit filled Jinghe's mouth, and the tingling sensation in her body slowly subsided.

He glared at Gastly, who was grinning smugly. He had reason to suspect that Gastly was taking revenge because he had said that the knight's uniform didn't suit it.

However, to be fair, the evolved Gastly's "lick" has a significantly stronger "paralyzing" effect.

After his daily "practice," he had begun to get used to Gastly's "licking," but now he has not only been brought back to his original state, but it has become even more difficult.

"But anyway, congratulations on your evolution, Gastly."

Jinghe's "melancholy" could not conceal his inner joy.

Although he didn't experience the passion of catching Pokémon, he did feel the joy and satisfaction of Pokémon evolving.

This is not only his achievement, but also Gastly's, the result of their joint efforts during that period.

The cause was somewhat unexpected, but the evolution was a natural progression.

"Kou Jie!"

Gastly winked at Jing He and gestured with its claws.

()
It's easy to handle!
Then it winked at the Ice Six-Tail.

Her eyes glistened, and she took a sharp sniff.

"Kou Jie~~"

It's too difficult, too difficult!

Finally, I can finally slay the Six-Tails!

Every time I see Jinghe petting the six-tailed fox while it can't reach it...
Do you know how it's been these days?
"Ooh, oh wow~~"

A psychic aura appeared in the eyes of the Ice Vulpix.

"Kuh, kuh~~"

Gastly quickly waved its hand.

Just kidding, don't take it so seriously.

Finally, its gaze fell upon the knight's uniform hanging on the wall.

Jing He's lips twitched.

Sure enough, it was for this outfit.

A few minutes later.

Ice Six-Tails put on its navy blue Christmas outfit, and with the help of several female students, its tail was tied with six light blue bows.

Wow! So cute! Can I touch it?

"This old man's girlish heart..."

"Awei is dead!"

Some people whose attention was still drawn to Gastly's evolution couldn't help but praise Vulpix after seeing its new look.

“It really is beautiful.” Jing He’s eyes lit up as well.

"Ooh~~o(*////▽////*)q"

It's alright.

Clang, clang—

At this moment, a "knight" wearing dark purple armor and with his head stuffed into a helmet that emitted a ghostly light walked out step by step.

Ok?
When Jing He saw the armored figure emerge, she paused, instinctively muttering:

"Blue flame blade ghost?"

They're not exactly the same, but they do look somewhat alike. However...

Hands are easy to understand; Gastly at least has claws. But what about its feet?

Jinghe walked forward curiously and quietly kicked the leg of the armor.

bang bang——

empty? !
So you're hanging your leg armor underneath?

"Ghost?"

However, Jinghe noticed something was wrong.

Given Gastly's personality, shouldn't it open its helmet and show off a bit at this time?
"口、口桀"

I'm stuck! Help me!
Jing He: "."

How did you manage to fit such a big head into this knight's armor?!
At last.

Jinghe, accompanied by Vulpix dressed in Christmas attire and Gastly floating in the air with only half of its armor remaining, continued to stroll through the school festival.

Gastly is much more convenient now that it has hands; it can hold a huge ice cream in one hand and a spoon in the other.

Do not misunderstand.

The spoon is for Ice Vulpix; Haunter is good at biting directly.

In no time, nearly half of the oversized ice cream had disappeared.

The school festival has many activities.

Haunted houses, food streets, discount markets, battle arenas, and more.

Gastly originally wanted to go to the haunted house, but Jinghe pulled it away.

He was worried that the staff in the haunted house would be too scared of Gastly to continue working, thus affecting other people's experience.

As they walked, they arrived at the battle zone.

The area was also brightly decorated with lanterns and flowers, and many students and even teachers who enjoy playing battles gathered here.

The school festival in the battle zone also has many different modes.

For example, there are 1v1 and 3v3 arena battles, as well as two-person battles, tower climbing battles, and even special events.

While other parts of the school festival are organized spontaneously by students, the battle zone is managed by the academy to prevent accidents.

For safety reasons, they even temporarily invited Nurse Joy from the Pokémon Center to come and look after them.

As the largest Pokémon academy in the Hoenn region, Rustboro Academy still has a certain amount of prestige.

Since the event was hosted by the academy, there would naturally be some prizes to encourage the participants.

Good evening, Miss Joey.

Having become acquainted, Jinghe walked to the rescue station and greeted Miss Qiaoyi.

"Teacher Jinghe." Miss Qiao Yi's eyes lit up when she saw Jinghe, and she covered her mouth and laughed, "You look very handsome tonight."

"Thank you."

"Gah!" Gastly put its hand to its forehead and waved its claws at Nurse Joy and Chansey beside her.

"Haunter? Has it evolved?"

Jing He looked slightly embarrassed.

Thankfully, they didn't ask how it evolved; it was just too embarrassing to say.

"Ooh, oh wow~~"

The shy Vulpix also called out softly to Nurse Joy, demonstrating its progress.

"Ah, Six-Tails, you're so cute!"

"Lucky~~"

"Is Teacher Jinghe going to participate in the competition? I heard the prizes are pretty good," Miss Joey asked.

"prize."

"Teacher Jinghe!"

At this time.

Daigo, wearing his signature little suit, walked over with a big smile.

"I was looking for you before but couldn't find you. Sure enough, you're here."

What does "as expected" mean?
"Haunter? Teacher, your Gastly evolved?"

Steven immediately noticed Gastly wearing armor, "When did it evolve?"

As he asked the question, he smiled and greeted Gastly and Vulpix.

Jing He: "."

"Um, well, Daigo, have you tried challenging the battle zone yet?" Jinghe changed the subject.

“No.” Daigo shook his head and smiled, “But I know the academy put a lot of effort into this competition. The final prize for the tower climbing contest is a set of attribute gems.”

"Kou Jie?"

Gastly's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and it became somewhat eager to try.
