Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 653 Kyogre: Who's calling me? (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
Jinghe stepped forward, picked up the yoyo ball that had fallen quietly to the ground, and looked somewhat helpless.

"My reputation as a Pokémon psychologist was almost ruined by my tsundere attitude."

He had previously used the Pokédex to check the Snivy's status.

But
Everyone knows that she's arrogant and her moods are unpredictable. The information presented in the [Illustrated Guide] one second is vastly different from the information presented the next.

Snivy

[Type: Grass]

[Characteristics: Playing devil’s advocate]

[Mastered moves: Tackle, Gaze, Vine Whip, Bind, Photosynthesis, Slam, Leaf Blade, Coil, Ultimate Drain.]

[Mood: Nervous, anxious]

[Status: Poor (fatigued, serious injury, needs rest)]

[Friendliness: 60 (It's difficult to tell from appearance alone whether they like you)]

If it weren't for the value displayed in the "Friendship" section, which gave Jing He some confidence, he wouldn't have known whether or not to concede the goal in the end.

“Going against the grain in matters of the heart is not just a characteristic of a technique, but also a ‘personality trait’,” Jing He murmured half-jokingly.

What the Snivy did actually did somewhat align with its true thoughts, reflecting the characteristic of "going against the grain."

As for the characteristic of "singing a different tune," it is still very powerful.

[Contrarian: Pokémon with this ability will react negatively to stat changes, turning an increase in stats into a decrease, and vice versa.]

Simply put, it has a reaction effect on ability.

For example, Swords Dance can raise a Pokémon's Attack by two stages, but if a Pokémon with the Contrary ability uses Swords Dance, its Attack will not only fail to increase but will actually decrease by two stages.

Even a powerful move like Swords Dance becomes a useless move in the hands of a Pokémon with the "Contrarian" ability.

However, the advantage of playing the opposite is that when the opponent is unaware of the Pokémon's abilities and tries to reduce its power, it will actually gain an advantage in terms of its abilities.

For example, the most common characteristic is "intimidation".

Of course, if this characteristic is used well, its effects can be quite remarkable.

Snivy's final evolution is Serperior, and the Contrarian Serperior is a trick that Jinghe once came across, simply because they can master one move, Leaf Storm!

The Grass-type move Leaf Storm has a terrifying power of 130. Like the Dragon-type move Meteor Shower, it greatly reduces the user's Special Attack after use.

However, if you pair it with "contrarianism", you will get a significant boost to your special attack!
That would be scary.

While unleashing incredibly high-output attacks, they can also continuously improve their own abilities.

This is considered one of the optimal solutions for this characteristic.

In addition, after the appearance of the ninth generation's crystalline form, or more precisely, after the appearance of "star crystals", the use of "crystalline burst" also became one of the solutions.

In short.

Leaf Storm is a crucial move, whether against Snivy or its final evolution, Serperior.

But a pity.

The little guy hasn't learned it yet.

However, it was precisely because of this that Jinghe valued the Tengteng Snake even more.

Even without knowing Leaf Storm, he can still take on Sweet and Cold Beauty in a one-on-one fight, demonstrating such strength.
more importantly.

It hasn't been trained much by any trainer.

Snivy has great potential.

However, Snivy must have suffered a lot to gain such power.

Of course, for Jinghe, the most important thing is that Snivy is a Grass-type Pokémon!

And there is a Photosynthesis move in the move list.

It's very reassuring to look at.

Beautiful~
Inside the Friend Ball, the Snivy seemed a little uneasy and anxious, hurriedly looking around.

Only when she saw Jing He staring at her through the transparent glass of the Poké Ball and smelled his familiar scent did she finally feel relieved.

She plopped down on the soft cushion, glanced at Jing He again, and couldn't help but purse her lips.

“Shinni.”

Fool.

As soon as I relaxed, a feeling of exhaustion washed over me.

It was exhausted that day.

In the first half of the day, I battled against Sweet and Cold Queen, tracked down Pokémon Hunters, and then fought alongside Zeraora against the Pokémon Hunters' Pokémon. I was injured and exhausted several times during the battle.

"Shinni!"

The vine snake wrinkled its nose.

If I weren't tired, would I have been so easily subdued by him?

hum!

They must be too tired.

As Snivy thought this, it became more and more relaxed, lay down on the soft mat inside its Poké Ball, slowly closed its eyes, and began to purr evenly.

Looking at the sleeping Snivy, Jinghe grinned.

Grass type, hey, I've got it!
If we really want to count, the only Pokémon he doesn't have are Normal, Bug, and Psychic types.

"Subdued?"

Seeing Jinghe pick up the yo-yo ball, Cynthia stepped forward.

Immediately afterwards, Gengar, Larvitar, and a host of other Pokémon from the old Jing family also gathered around.

A new member to the family!
"Genga."

Gengar rubbed its chin.

What kind of welcoming ceremony should we give later?

"Yo-yo~"

Young Kylas was grinning foolishly.

This is a "real little brother," not like Victini or Reginald, who are simply simple-minded people given the title of "little brother."

In other words, Jing He didn't notice what Young Kiras was thinking; otherwise, he probably would have poured cold water on Young Kiras's thoughts.
It remains to be seen who the "little brother" is.

“It’s captured.” Jing He nodded, shrunk the Friend Ball, and put it back on his waist.

Let the little guy rest first, and introduce him to everyone when he wakes up.

“They’re still waiting for you over there.” Cynthia gestured to Mayor Oliva and the others.

correct.

Pokémon Catching Contest!
The sudden outbreak of the "Spore Potion" forced the "Pokémon Catching" competition to be interrupted.

However, based on the quantity and quality of the Pokémon Gengar caught, its victory is undisputed.

Z pure crystal!

When Jing He walked over, Mayor Oriba's secretary was already standing beside him holding an exquisite box.

This box is the same one that was shown during the previous "Pokémon Catching Contest," containing Z-Crystals.

"Teacher Jinghe, after our quick calculations, you have undoubtedly won the championship of this 'Pokémon Catching' competition. Congratulations!" Mayor Oliva said with a big smile, extending his hand to congratulate him.

The original purpose of using Z-Crystals as prizes was to attract Lugia.

Now Lugia has not only arrived, but has even brought a baby Lugia with her.

It can be said that they exceeded expectations.

As for Lugia coming because of Jinghe, rather than for the friendly relationship between humans and Pokémon shown in the competition, that's not important.

"Gengga~ Gengga~"

Gengar stepped past Jinghe and, to Oliva's astonishment, grasped his hand.

Haha, congratulations to you too!
Then he stared longingly at the ordinary-looking trophy and the box containing the Z-Crystal.

Jing He smiled helplessly.

There's no way around it, Gengar really did contribute to this competition.

Then the mayor's secretary, also looking bewildered, handed the box and trophy to Gengar.

"Genga!!"

Gengar held the trophy in one hand and the prize in the other, raising them above its head in celebration.

Now, I'm a champion too!
Oriba and his secretary exchanged a glance.

Are Jinghe's Pokémon really that unique?

Gengar happily held the trophy and handed the box directly to Jinghe.

prize?

What I want is a trophy!
Open the box.

Ok?
Jinghe was stunned when she saw what was inside.

Because inside there is not only a pure crystal of Z-type electricity, but also a pure crystal that is grass-green and looks like jade.

Grass-type Z-Crystal?

Oriba hurriedly explained:
"One of them is a prize, and the other is to thank Teacher Jinghe and everyone for your help to Fenglai City."

Thank you gift.

Upon hearing this, Jing He seemed to understand something.

its not right.

If I accept a thank-you gift, then I can't just get reimbursed for it whenever I want, right?

But then I thought, isn't the value of a Z-pure crystal higher than the reimbursement fee?

"Grass Z" picked up the Grass-type Z-Crystal from the box and gently rubbed it a couple of times.

“Wind City only has two Z-Crystals in stock. I was worried that you, Jinghe-sensei, wouldn’t need the Grass-type Z-Crystal, but now that you’ve caught Snivy, it’s just right,” Oriba said with a smile.

indeed.

Jinghe could have directly sold the excess Z-Crystals for money, but now she can't.

Given Snivy's strong personality, if it found out that Jinghe sold a Z-Crystal that matched its attributes, wouldn't it get its head stepped on in the middle of the night?

so.
My future goals are Normal Z, Bug Z, and Psychic Z!

Jinghe has set her sights on a goal.

"Thank you very much."

He didn't pretend to be polite and accepted the two Z-Crystals.

Useless items +2
I can't muster much joy.

Seeing that Jinghe accepted it, Ouba breathed a sigh of relief.

Just accept it.

We need to build a good relationship with Teacher Jinghe.

Given his relationship with Lugia and Lugia, if he invites Lugia to the Wind Festival in Wind City, wouldn't Lugia definitely come too?

Oriba had his own little scheme in mind.

"Mayor Oriba," Jing He asked after putting away the Z-Crystal, "Given today's situation, is there still a fireworks display later?"

Oriba was taken aback.

He immediately laughed and said, "It will happen. The spore mist didn't affect the fireworks that were prepared in advance, and everyone..."

He glanced around and, seeing the smiles of relief on everyone's faces, said earnestly, "Everyone needs a grand party to soothe their shock."

"That's good." Jing He smiled.

He tricked Cynthia into coming here with the promise of a summer fireworks festival, so if that's gone, it's not quite perfect, even though there's a reason for it.

"Then, Ms. Jinghe, you go ahead with your work. I'll go take care of other things."

After saying his goodbyes, Mayor Oriba busied himself with other matters.

A dense fog of spores nearly paralyzed the entire city of Fenglai, leaving him, the mayor, to handle everything, big and small.

Moreover, Jinghe has only restored the substation to a basic function, and it still needs to be inspected by professionals, otherwise it is unknown when it will catch fire again.

"Fenglai City is still rich." Jinghe clicked her tongue as she watched Ouba's car drive away.

He immediately produced two Z-pure crystals.

"Did you win the prize?"

Seeing Jing He walking over with a smile, Xilona couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"And a part of you."

"Mine?" Cynthia looked surprised.

Jinghe then gave a brief explanation.

The Grass-type Z-Crystal that was given as a "thank you gift" was actually given to him and Cynthia by Oliva on behalf of Wind City, so it wouldn't be right for him to keep it all to himself.

Furthermore, Cynthia also has Roserade, a Grass-type Pokémon, to use.

"You can keep it," Cynthia said, but she refused outright.

"Eh?"

"Not quite used to Z-Moves"

Everyone has their own choice when it comes to strengthening their Pokémon.

Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamax, Crystallize, and so on.

Most people, due to factors such as ability, funds, and preferences, will only choose one option.

Jinghe opened her mouth, feeling a little regretful.

It's a pity we won't get to see Cynthia dance.

It's also impossible to "smoothly" distribute the profits from Grass Z. If Cynthia takes it and then transfers a sum of money, that would be wonderful.

“One is enough for me.” With that, Cynthia rolled up her sleeves, revealing the Z-Bracelet on her snow-white wrist, along with the Dragon Z on it.

Gee.
The situation took a dramatic turn for the better.

There are various ways to enhance Pokémon, and some of these methods inevitably conflict with each other.

For example, Mega Evolution cannot be used together with Dynamax, and Z-Moves cannot be used together with Dynamax or Crystallize, since Dynamax moves are all Dynamax moves, and Crystallize moves also receive Crystallize boosts.

However, Jinghe has not tried whether Mega Evolution and Z-Moves can be used together.

"Alright then." Jing He reluctantly put the grass away again.

Cynthia blinked. "Aren't you going to do something?"

"express?"

He held up one finger, a playful look on his face, and said, "An ice cream!"

Then, very seriously, he added:
"Extra large!"

Seeing her serious yet adorable expression, Jinghe couldn't help but chuckle.

Sighed softly.

"Ugh--"

"how?"

Even an ice cream cone is making you sigh.
Jing He looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and said with a rather "melancholy" expression:

"Everything has changed."

"What has changed?"

"The rich woman won't give me money anymore, so she's started deducting money from my account."

Cynthia paused, met Jing He's teasing gaze, and immediately clenched her fist.

"Find a fight!"

"Hiss—!!"

Garchomp was overjoyed.

Let go, let me do it!

Night has fallen completely.

The festival venue is located on the beach of the small island.

A gentle sea breeze swept by, carrying the fresh scent of the sea, mixed with a hint of moisture and the aroma of seaweed, creating shimmering ripples.

"Today doesn't seem like a good day to set off fireworks?"

Cynthia sat on the beach with her arms wrapped around her knees, gazing at the clouds in the sky that looked like black velvet, and murmured softly.

Many people on the beach shared similar thoughts with her.

It looks like it's about to rain.

The moon was all gray and hazy.

This day in Fenglai City was truly filled with bad luck. Everything was fine when the moon had just risen.

"No." Jinghe stood up. "Even if Georgina comes today, it can't make it rain for me!"

As he spoke, he shouted:

"Lugia!"

"Woo——"

In the sky, Lugia, who was taking her child for a walk after dinner, heard Jinghe's call. "Please, make the weather clear up."

Don't want to see the rain?
simple.

What humans can't do, let mythical beasts do!
"Woo~"

Lugia nodded.

Legend has it that Lugia can cause a city to experience torrential rain for forty days with just a flap of its wings.

Although the legend of Kyogre as a "sea god" became a joke due to the appearance of Kyogre, as the "god of ocean currents," it can still easily control the weather.

"Woooooo~~"

Little Lugia seemed even more excited, flapping its wings and following its mother. It flapped its wings vigorously, and the dark clouds in the sky drifted away a little.

"Woo!"

Little Lucia pouted.

Lugia patted its head gently, as if to say, "Look good."

call--

As Lugia flapped its wings, the dark clouds in the sky receded at a visible speed, and the crystalline fluorescence once again cascaded down like a waterfall.

"Look."

Jinghe pointed to the round moon in the sky.

Cynthia swept her blonde hair back in the wind, smiled, and said:
"Jing He, you're making the divine beast exert its strength like this."

"It's alright, we're all friends, no need for formalities." Jing He waved her hand and sat down next to her.

friend.

There aren't many people who can be friends with mythical beasts, are there?
"At worst, I'll treat them to a meal later!"

There's nothing a meal can't solve; if one meal isn't enough, have two!
boom! !

In an instant, a dazzling firework burst across the night sky, painting it with vibrant, multicolored hues.

Jing He proudly pulled two pre-prepared sparklers from her pocket and said with a smile:

"For a fireworks display, of course we should set off our own."

sizzle-

The starlight was reflected in Cynthia's eyes.

She watched this scene, then slowly leaned on Jinghe's shoulder, remaining silent.

At this moment, it seemed that she only wanted to silently appreciate the fireworks, or perhaps she only wanted to feel Jinghe's warmth.

"Genga~"

Dragonite, Urshifu, Gengar, Azure Drake, Ninetales, Regigigas, Greatsmith, Larvitar, Victini, Rotom, and Zygarde Core sat in a row, watching the fireworks in the sky together.

I remember the last time I watched a fireworks display, it was just this, Jinghe, and Xiao Liuwei.

"Ouch."

Nine-Tails rested its head on its chest, a smile on its face.

In just one year, everyone has grown so much.

Dragonite and Kumamon, on the other hand, didn't have so many complicated thoughts. They just thought, "Wow, it's so beautiful. No wonder so many people like watching fireworks shows."

"Yo-yo!"

Young Kylas pointed to the fireworks that had just been set off in the sky.

Doesn't that look like me?
"That's clearly a Staff-tailed Armored Dragon," Zygarde Core said.

"Yo-yo."

Really? He's just as handsome as me.
Zygarde Core rolled its eyes.

It's true that trainers and Pokémon tend to become alike when they spend a lot of time together. Larvitar is just like that person, equally narcissistic!
Zygarde Core raised its head, its mind filled with the image of its complete form.

[Nobody looks as handsome as him after he's fully recovered.]

A sense of pride rose within me.

"just!"

Hey! It's a big bird!
The fireworks of the Fierce Arrow Eagle excited the Great Blacksmith.

"Roar."

Instructor Xiong looked at Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Let's see who can sit the longest.

Azure Flame Blade Ghost tilted its head and looked at Martial Arts Bear Master with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Gucha?"

What's the point of comparing them?

Coach Xiong, have you gone crazy from practicing stillness lately?
In martial arts, the key lies in the balance of movement and stillness. One must use stillness to control movement, to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, and to overcome strength with softness in order to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.

Coach Xiong has now switched from his previous non-stop boxing practice to a "meditation" training mode.

"Hurrah." Martial Arts Bear Master picked at his ear.

So, tell me whether you want to compete or not.
"Gucha?"

Who will win?
"Roar." Martial Arts Bear Master grinned.

If you win, then you're amazing!
"Gucha!"

We've done it!

For men, no one can escape the phrase "You're amazing," which is the "biggest" gamble.

The same applies to male Pokémon.

Upon receiving the answer, Martial Arts Master Xiong grinned.

Hey.

"HuluzzZ"

He falls asleep with his head tilted back.

Cangyan Blade Ghost: "???"

hum-

Jinghe's Poké Ball opened on its own. Snivy, who had just taken a nap, stretched, glanced at the two people snuggling together, pouted, and walked towards Gengar and the others.

"Yo-yo!"

Young Gillas squeezed closer to the Great Blacksmith, then patted the ground, gesturing for Snivy to sit down.

Based on its size, it should sit between Young Kylas and Rotom.

But after Snivy scanned the area, its eyes brightened slightly.

The vine whip coiled around the Dragonite's whiskers and reached the head of the largest Dragonite, which stood tall and proud.

"Shinni!"

Your Queen is back!
All the Pokémon: "???"

Under a tree by the beach, Zeraora stood with his arms crossed, watching the scene before him, the bustling crowd, yet his expression remained anything but serious.

"Jera."

Perhaps, people are indeed different.

Or perhaps, the past is the past after all.
"Zera!"

Zeraora regained her composure and silently vanished in a blue arc of light.

"Zeraora? Zeraora?"

When Lajugo turned around, he found that Zeraora was gone, and couldn't help but show his disappointment.

But her eyes soon lit up.

She discovered that only one seed remained of the delivered tree fruit.

This is the first time that Zeraora has eaten food, despite having been given so many times before.

Next to the pit, there was another one that looked a bit old, with a strange shape, like a whistle or musical instrument, with a wisp of golden hair floating on it.

Larugo hurriedly stepped forward and carefully held the instrument in his hands.

She understands.

Zeraora means that when she blows this whistle, Zeraora will appear.

“Zeraora,” Rarugo murmured softly, “I just want you to be happier.”

On the rooftop, Zeraora watched this scene, her eyes flashing.

A gentle sea breeze blew, and the sound of waves lapping the beach was drowned out by the fireworks. Jinghe and Xilona sat quietly, watching the sparklers in their hands burn out, but the brilliance in their eyes did not disappear.

“Zhu Lan,” Jing He said softly.

Cynthia's eyes shimmered with a soft light, and her rosy cheeks seemed to outshine everything else. Before Jing He could finish speaking, she gently lifted her head.

A touch, a peck.

Jinghe stood there, feeling the slight dampness on her cheeks, experiencing a dreamlike, ethereal sensation, as if her whole body had become light and airy.

“I like you,” Cynthia’s voice, barely audible, whispered gently in his ear.

Jinghe, regaining her senses, grabbed her hand.

No, it's going to float away.

Two nights later.

"Going back to Sinnoh tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this news, Jing He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Cynthia pulled her hair back, looking somewhat helpless and reluctant, but still said:

"I've already taken four days off, and if you include tomorrow, it will be five days."

It's been five days already?

Jinghe was slightly dazed.

For the first time, I felt that time had passed so quickly.

He subconsciously said, "If all else fails, let Wusong work two more days."

Cynthia covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Not because of this."

"That is."

Her expression gradually became serious and earnest as she looked at Jing He and said quite earnestly:
"I'm ready to take on the path to the championship!"

The Road to Championship?!
Jinghe looked astonished.

Is Cynthia about to become a champion?

But then I thought about it.

Also.

Since the end of the "Young Masters World Championship", Cynthia has been training hard.

Gosho has already become one of the Elite Four, so it's indeed time for Cynthia to join the ranks.

As for whether it will succeed.
Of course!

Sinnoh was the first region to implement "youthification," and Cynthia, as the most outstanding among the Sinnoh youths, is already quite capable even if she hasn't reached her peak.

If Lance's path to the Kanto Champions is hellish, then the Sinnoh Champions are only considered medium to high difficulty.

Mainly.

A-Du has a rival in Kanto who can completely restrain him.

As for Cynthia in Sinnoh, just look at those three guys: Woolly, Big Leaf, and Ariel—they're all her underlings, her own people.

However, Cynthia still takes this very seriously and should indeed take it seriously.

Medium to high difficulty doesn't mean it's not difficult, it's just relatively difficult.

Ultimately, it's also the "Road to the Championship"!
“Let me know when you’re ready, and I’ll go see you,” Jing He said.

"You dare not come!"

Cynthia wrinkled her nose, clenched her fist, and shook it twice in a "demonstration" manner.

The "Gatekeeper" Garchomp brandished its sharp scythe, its face contorted in a fierce expression.

My family is terrifying.

Return to the room.

"Gen, genga?"

The Gengar, perched on the window, came right into Jinghe's line of sight.

"Yo-yo! Yo-yo!"

The young cygnets below cried out.

pop- pop-

Two vines clung to the window, and then the vine snake quickly climbed up and stood on the windowsill, meeting Jing He's gaze.

"Hisni! (▼Dan▼)"

The vine snake was not afraid at all; on the contrary, it had a fierce look on its face.

These two days.

Since Snivy joined the team, it goes out to "level up" every day with Gengar and Larvitar.

In Snivy's words, this is an excellent "leveling spot".

This is not.

I just got back from "leveling up".

Faced with the "fierce" Snivy, Jinghe didn't hold back, revealing his signature "Gengar-style" wicked smile, and picked it up amidst Snivy's "frightened" gaze.

Then I hugged her and gave her a good "rubbing".

"Hiss, hiss! (≧皿≦)"

The vine snake slumped into Jing He's arms, unable to struggle anymore.

hum.

Can't I handle you, you little tsundere?
Jinghe became increasingly experienced in dealing with the little Snivy.

"Take a good rest these next few days. We'll be heading back to Hoenn soon, and then we'll all hold an induction ceremony for you."

"Hiss~"

There are still quite a few little ones in the family who don't even know that Snivy exists.

Anyway, we've pretty much explored the Carlos region, so let's head back to Hoenn to rest.

Moreover, the King of AZ is still waiting for his flower petals.

quickly.

After a period of noise, the room gradually quieted down.

Jinghe slowly drifted off to sleep, in which he dreamt that Deoxys was piloting a spaceship and had taken away Rayquaza.

Then Groudon below breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank goodness I can't fly."

Kyogre then mocked him, saying, "Pinna, you're nothing special."

Hoenn region.

German headquarters building.

"President!"

The president's secretary rushed into the president's office and met the old president and the young master, Daigo.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" the old man asked gently.

"The batch of ore that Young Master Daigo brought back," the secretary took a breath before continuing, "reacted with a huge rock in the mine!"

The old man's gaze sharpened.

"The batch brought back from Shixiang Town?"

"Yes."

"What's wrong?" Daigo asked, looking at the old man's solemn expression.

While it's rare for stones to react with each other, it does happen. Why is Father so serious?
"I'll go take a look."

Daigo straightened his clothes and stood up.

"Do not."

But this time, the old man stopped him.

He waved to his secretary.

After the secretary left, facing Daigo's questioning gaze, the old man took a deep breath, and after a long pause to formulate his thoughts, he finally spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Daigo, I've never told you before, but our German word for '∞ energy' is actually..."

After listening to the old man's story, Daigo also put away his relaxed expression.

∞ Energy!
Also known as "life energy"!
It is the key to the birth of Mega Stones.

Could it be that the Hoenn region also has such energy carriers?
That.
Will the appearance of such a massive structure as the megalith cause any changes?
The old man gave a wry smile.

"Hopefully, I'm just being overly worried and cautious."
