Chapter 670 Team Rocket's New Business and the Meaning of "Discipline" (Two-in-One, Please Vote!)
"Genga~"

Gengar waved at the Punishment Jar again.

Come on, have some more!
Liberate Hoopa: "."

"Genga?"

Gengar looked the Punishment Jar up and down, which had stopped making any further moves, and scratched its head.

No more?
Liberate Hoopa: "."

Barza stared blankly at the scene, feeling that some things were beyond his comprehension.

He himself was deeply affected by the power of Hoopa's "Shadow of Evil," almost making a grave mistake. He also witnessed firsthand how the eerie power of Hoopa's "Shadow of Evil" attempted to corrupt Jinghe's Gengar, but the result...
Gengar ate the power that freed Hoopa's "Shadow of Evil"?

Is this thing edible?
Gengar seemed unsatisfied and gently tapped the "Punishment Pot".

Tuk Tuk——

"Genga?"

Hey, is anyone there? Anyone there? Ghost has come to visit!
However, the "Pot of Punishment" remained completely still, as if nothing was sealed inside, which made Balzah's heart pound with fear.

Jinghe couldn't stand it any longer and quickly said, "Gengar, that's enough."

If we keep going, what if we accidentally break the "Bottle of Punishment"?
The "Punishment Jar" is keeping it locked up, which is why the liberated Hoopa "Shadow" inside is so "well-behaved." If it were to escape...
"Genga."

Gui Gui, hands on her hips, was furious but helpless, and floated back to Jing He's side.

"Barza, are you alright?" Jing He asked.

"It should be alright now," Balza said, swallowing hard as he looked at the "well-behaved" Jar of Punishment.

Although the "Punishment Pot" looked somewhat old and decayed, it was much more well-behaved than when he had visited before, thanks to the presence of Gengar and Professor Jinghe.

With a sense of relief, Balzah breathed a sigh of relief and once again used the unique power of the people of the Valley of Creation.

"Time, heavens!"

The barrier that had previously disappeared was restored to its original state, and the "Pot of Punishment" once again vanished from the dark cave.

"Thankfully, nothing unexpected happened." Jing He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He had previously speculated about the possibility of unexpected events such as the "Pot of Punishment" suddenly shattering, Balzac being affected by the "Pot of Punishment" on the spot, and Hoopa's "Shadow" forcibly breaking free from its restraints.

Now it seems he was overthinking things.

"It's not that I really encounter problems every time I go somewhere." Jinghe felt that he could finally shed the title of "Pokémon version of Death's henchman".

“Let’s go back, Teacher Jinghe,” Balza said.

The two returned along the same route.

However, on the way back, Balzah's expression remained serious, which made Jinghe curious and ask him:

"Is something on your mind, Balzac?"

Upon hearing this, Balza, kneeling on the back of the Warrior Eagle, smiled somewhat embarrassedly:

"Although the seal is still there, the 'Punishment Pot' left by my great-grandfather probably won't be able to keep the 'Evil Shadow' inside for long."

"Ok?"

Barza explained:

"The power to unleash Hoopa's 'Shadow of Evil' stems from humanity's insatiable desires. Over the past century, the human population has grown far beyond my great-grandfather's expectations, therefore..."

"So the power of 'Shadow of Evil' is much stronger than it was a hundred years ago, right? Perhaps after some time, it will be able to forcibly break free from the 'Bottle of Punishment'?" Jing He continued.

Barza nodded.

"Furthermore, as you have seen, Teacher Jinghe, the 'Pot of Punishment' has been severely rotten under the erosion of 'Shadow of Evil' for a century, and no one knows how much longer it can last."

Should we hold out until Ash arrives?
"Actually, a hundred years ago, when my great-grandfather sealed Hoopa's power, he intended for Hoopa to understand the meaning of 'punishment,' and he was prepared to return the power to it. But..."

Clearly, Hoopa still doesn't fully understand the meaning of "punishment".

Barza then revealed his own thoughts.

“I want to recreate a brand new ‘Bottle of Punishment’ to reinforce the seal of ‘Shadow of Evil’. When Hoopa feels ready, I will return the power to it.”

Jing He supports Balzac's idea.

Strengthening the seal would be ideal.

“If you need me, you can contact me anytime,” Jing He said.

Upon hearing this, Balza was overjoyed; he had been waiting for Teacher Jinghe to say these words.

Judging from what happened in the sealed land just now, it's clear that even with his sister Mayali by his side, he probably couldn't withstand the erosion of the "Evil Shadow" power alone. But with Teacher Jinghe and his Pokémon by his side...
Balzac glanced at the leisurely Gengar and nodded, saying:
"Thank you."

at the same time.

In the Carlos region, in a secret underground base, Team Flare researchers dressed in orange suits and wearing orange sunglasses were busy at work.

"Lord Kutheroschi."

"Kuseloschi cadre."

"."

A large, stout Team Flare officer walked quickly down the corridor, and Team Flare members who passed by all stepped aside to salute him.

This is Kutherosch, one of the five top executives of Team Flare, and also the only male among the five researchers who initially followed Team Flare leader Vladari.

He strode to the deepest part of the base, to the office of Vladari, the leader of Team Flare and representative of the Vladari Institute.

The large office was filled with various research devices and equipment.

Behind the desk is a floor-to-ceiling window.

Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows was a huge, seemingly ancient instrument, exuding a metallic aura, where many of Team Flare's researchers were busy working.

Sitting in his chair, Vladali silently watched everything, gently stroking the fiery lion lying beside him.

“Representative,” Kutherloschi greeted respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Vladali turned around.

"An extremely strong fluctuation of 'desire' has been detected!" Kutheroschi said, suppressing his excitement.

"Oh?"

Vladali took the report from Kutheroschi, glanced at it briefly, and then raised an eyebrow, looking quite surprised.

He once had lofty ideals and a kind heart, and the Vladali Institute was dedicated to helping ordinary people and the poor who were struggling.

However, his selfless dedication did not earn him much gratitude. Instead, his one-sided giving made those who received his help become greedy, taking his help for granted, and even actively soliciting so-called "help".

Furthermore, with the abundance of resources and the gradual enrichment of life, he also witnessed more disputes and plundering, and saw the boundless desires of humankind.

Once, twice, three times.
The frustration and confusion in Vladari's heart eventually led to the creation of Team Flare and its current leader, Vladari.

So the Vladali Institute did study “human desires” at first, but this kind of thing that comes from the deepest part of the human heart cannot be erased by technology.

This is why Vladali came up with the idea of ​​reducing the number of lives to maintain this beautiful world.

“Where?” Vladali asked, putting down the documents.

“In the great desert, outside of Desert City, there’s a place called Valley of Creation,” Kutheroschi said.

Thump, thump, thump
Vladali tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

At the same time, Kutheroschi continued, "According to my investigation and understanding, it may be related to a legendary powerful Pokémon named 'Hoopa'."

Then, Kutherloschi briefly recounted the legends about the desert city and the information he had learned through some special means.

The five top researchers of Team Flare, who are also the five top executives, each have different areas of responsibility.

Kutherosch's job was to investigate, learn about, and search for those powerful, legendary Pokémon.

For example, there's the little-known "God of Order" Zygarde, the ferocious beast Heatran from the volcano, and the super demon god Hoopa with his halo!

“Hupa.” A glint flashed in Vladali’s eyes.

There are powerful Pokémon whose power is based on human desires?

As the head of a vast evil force, Vladali was very decisive. After learning about Hoopa from Kutheroschi, he made a decision immediately.

"Since humans are driven by desires, let them taste the bitter fruit of those desires!"

"Yes!"

The Valley of Creation.

"Can't catch Hoopa? Let's try again!"

Little Huba dodged left and right in the air, looking smug and making faces.

"Hiss~"

The Sniper curled its lip in disdain, and a vine whip shot out from its body, then wrapped around Little Hoopa's body with lightning speed before Little Hoopa could even react.

Suddenly bound by the vine whip, Xiao Hupa looked somewhat bewildered.

But he quickly realized what was happening and called out:
"You're cheating! What happened just now doesn't count!"

The rattan weaving was retrieved.

Snivy walked along the ridge with its hands behind its back. One of its vines was wrapped around a learning machine that showed how to tie grass knots, while the other vine was waving in the air, teasing Little Hupa.

"Can't catch it, can't catch Hoopa, let's try again~"

Hoopa, seemingly oblivious to the pain of its previous injury, continued to show off in the air. Snivy, unusually patient, mostly played with Hoopa, except for occasionally catching it.

"That's just the way it is."

Balza briefly recounted what had happened in the sealed land to Mayali, leaving Mayali stunned.

She couldn't help but look at Teacher Jinghe, who was on the phone beside her, and suddenly felt more confident.

“So I’m going to make a new ‘Jar of Punishment’,” Balzac said.

“But, brother, do you know how?” Mayali asked.

Balza smiled. "There must be records about this in the books left by my great-grandfather. I will stay in the Valley of Creation for a few days, and once I find the method, I will go back to Desert City to try to make it at the Desert Tower."

Both Balzac and Mayali were studying what their great-grandfather had left behind. Balzac remembered that he seemed to have seen some records about this before, and he thought he could find them if he went back to look for them.

"While Teacher Jinghe is still here," he added.

Thinking of Teacher Jinghe, Mei Yali nodded in support.

the other side.

"The signal isn't very good," Jing He said with a hint of helplessness.

"Construction in Devon is already underway, but it seems to be much more difficult than expected," Cynthia's voice came through the phone.

"No, it's not just a signal problem on your end, it's also on my end."

Jing He looked around.

The Valley of Creation still maintains a lifestyle similar to agriculture, and because it is located in a valley basin, signals are not easy to propagate, especially since it is in a desert.
"Well"

After chatting for a while, the two ended the call.

Jinghe learned some news from Xilona.

It turns out that the person invited by Desert City was originally Kikuno, the Elite Four member of the Sinnoh region. Kikuno, as one of the Ground-type Elite Four, had previously visited Desert City for research, but he had been quite busy recently, so he handed over this "task" to Daiki.

"That bastard even bragged to me." Jing He gritted his teeth, realizing he had also "picked up" a job.

Far away in the desert city, Da Ye, who was choosing clothes under the mayor's arrangement, sneezed.

However, after "scolding" Da Ye, Jing He made a phone call that he hadn't made in a long time.

"it's me."

Soon, that familiar, magnetic, and steady voice came from the phone.

Team Rocket's leader, Giovanni!

Since helping Sakaki find his son, Xiaoyin, Jinghe hasn't called him much. It's not that she doesn't want to maintain the relationship, it's just... cough cough, she should think carefully about how to maintain this father-son relationship.

However, the Rockets are really generous with salaries. Jing He, as an "advisor," receives his salary on time every month.

Moreover, he hasn't missed out on any benefits, and his salary has even increased significantly.

In the entire Pokémon world, there are almost no Pokémon teams that can surpass Team Rocket in terms of benefits.

"Master Sakaki, I have a new 'job' for you. Are you interested?"

"Tell me about it," Sakaki said with interest.

"Infrastructure."

Upon hearing this, Sakaki frowned and paused while stroking the cat boss's hand.

To be honest, infrastructure construction isn't very profitable, but of course, there are ways to make money if you want to.
However, for the Rockets right now, making money is secondary; the key is how to transform the team.

However, if you want to do infrastructure construction, firstly you need to have strong connections in the league, and secondly you need to have the qualifications to compete with others.

Having strong enough connections within the alliance is manageable; Sakaki has a way of dealing with that, especially in the Kanto region.

As for the qualifications to compete with others
Clearly, neither the Rockets nor Silver can match Devin's qualifications in this area, which stems from his background in construction.

Devon was the real "construction maniac".

Devon Corporation's construction and building teams can be found in almost every region and corner of the Pokémon world.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's in a class of its own in the entire Pokémon world.

However, Sakaki did not raise any objections, but instead prepared to listen to what Jinghe had to say next, as he did not believe that Jinghe was unaware of these things.

Jinghe quickly revealed her true thoughts.

“Basic construction projects in dangerous areas, and even more than just basic construction.”

"Ok?"

Sakaki was taken aback. "A dangerous area?"

"Yes, for example, Tianguan Mountain, and also Yanchong Mountain, the Great Desert of Desert City, the Great Desert of Hezhong, the Crown Snowfield, and so on."

These areas are considered relatively dangerous.

Of course, many trainers still bring their Pokémon to explore, but due to poor infrastructure and sometimes bad signal, it is difficult to get timely rescue.

While Devon's construction team is spread throughout the Pokémon world, they are construction teams and don't actually have much combat power. Team Rocket, on the other hand, is different; any member can be considered a combatant.

The difficulty in constructing these areas is not due to a lack of technical expertise among the construction teams, but rather because the presence of dangerous and ferocious wild Pokémon makes it challenging to actually carry out construction.

The Rockets' strength can fill this gap perfectly.

Thus.

With the Rockets members having something to do, they wouldn't be thinking about those miscellaneous, destructive thoughts, which also satisfied some of their "needs" for battle.

more importantly.

This kind of infrastructure development, and strengthening ties with the alliance, is far more thorough than any attempt to transform an entertainment company.

After listening to Jinghe's story, Boss Sakaki said it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

Others might worry about danger or trouble, but the Rockets are the least afraid of such so-called danger.

Most trainers in the league are not suited to the wild environment, but the Rockets are very well adapted.

But Sakaki couldn't help but laugh and scold:
"You idiot, I bet you suggested I do all this because you couldn't get through to your girlfriend on the phone, right?"

Jing He's expression faltered at the sight of Boss Sakaki, but she still said:

"Inspiration comes from life."

If the Rockets can truly transform, it will be a good thing for both the league and the Rockets themselves.

Jinghe was also happy to push this matter forward.

Sakaki placed his hand on Neko-sama's back once again.

"However, cough cough, your suggestion this time is indeed somewhat constructive."

“Right?” Jing He smiled. “Maybe I can even help you, Master Sakaki, to have a deeper collaboration with Devon.”

The Rockets provide combat protection, while Devon provides technical support for construction.

A win-win situation. Jinghe's deep-seated "infrastructure heart" is already stirring with excitement.

Given his relationship with Steven and the old man Zuvoki, as well as his connections in Hoenn and Sinnoh, I dare not say anything else, but the Hoenn League and Sinnoh League will still give him face.

even.

Establishing a good relationship with Rayquaza beforehand, and having the Rockets and Devon jointly launch satellites to build a more stable network, is not out of the question.

"Ahem, where are you now?" Sakaki coughed twice and asked.

“Me? The Valley of Creation in the Carlos region.” Jing He stated directly, her brows furrowing slightly. “Gym Leader Sakaki, you…”

"It's nothing, it's an old problem, it's flared up again recently."

Sakaki said dismissively, and immediately made a decision:

"The Valley of Creation, right? I know that place. I'll head over there now."

"You're coming over?" Jing He was taken aback.

"Such an important transformation 'project,' cough cough, as a partner and investor, is it alright for me to take a look at the site?" Sakaki said with a smile.

"of course."

call ended.

Jinghe held her phone and pursed her lips.

Giovanni's old problem.
If he remembered correctly, in the special episode, Giovanni also had an incurable disease that could only be cured by finding Celebi.

To some extent.

Giovanni's decision to leave the Rockets was due to a combination of factors: Silver's influence, Red's influence on the league, and his illness.

"It's been a long time since I've heard from Celebi."

"Hiss~"

The vine snake dropped a "grass seed" and let out a low growl.

The "grass seed" took root and sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly growing into a huge vine that soared upwards.

"Wow, that's amazing! Scoop it up!"

Little Huba, who was staring at the seeds, was almost knocked over by the rapidly growing vines. After dodging in time, she stared wide-eyed at the vines that were thicker than herself.

Snivy was unimpressed by Hoopa's amazement, thinking that there was absolutely no need to rely on "grass seeds" to perform the grass knot technique.
If you can't learn such a simple move after watching it once, there's no point in learning any moves at all.

It stared at the bare ridge beside it and activated its abilities slightly.

In the blink of an eye, a much smaller vine quickly grew out.

“This won’t do, let’s try something else.” Little Huba shook her head.

This time, Snivy nodded in agreement.

That won't work; it's too simplistic.

However, if combined with parasitic seeds...
A tiny seed flew out of the Snivy, which was deep in thought, and landed on Tyranitar. Vines quickly sprouted from the seed and soon covered Tyranitar's entire body.

"Banji?"

Bangilas looked up blankly from the pile of meteorites, glanced at the vines on his body, then at the Snivy and Hoopa not far away, scratched his head, and continued eating.

"Shinni!"

Seeing that Tyranitar, a weak Grass-type Pokémon, didn't even try to pull it off, Snivy suddenly realized, "Sure enough, I still need to train it."

However, grass knots and parasitic seeds can indeed combine.

The grass knot can bind the opponent, and the parasitic seed can absorb energy to restore itself. Combining them can make the parasitic seed's binding ability stronger and allow the grass knot to be used better.

What if we combine grassy fields with hay knots?

Even combining all three techniques?
He whipped out an energy cube, tossed it into his mouth, and continued studying Fu Ye's understanding and experience with the move "Tie the Grass Knot" while holding the move learning machine.

Not far away, Jing He, who witnessed the whole process, twitched at the corner of her mouth.

He somewhat understood why Snivy, despite being a Grass-type Pokémon capable of photosynthesis, had such a high demand for food.

That brain of yours.
Can't the energy consumption be small?
Jinghe felt it was all a bit unreal.

Shake his head.

"It's an illusion, probably from spending too much time with Tyranitar, that's giving me the illusion that Snivy is a bit too smart."

"Hupa, scoop it up~"

Hoopa felt he couldn't quite understand Snivy, so he turned and flew towards Tyranitar.

"Is it delicious? Let me make some!"

"Banji?"

Do you want some?
Bangilas picked up a lump-like meteorite and gestured to Hoopa.

Little Huba shook his head repeatedly as he looked at the "coal ball." "Hupa won't eat it, but Huba can conjure up lots of these 'coal balls,' let's scoop them up!"

Coal briquettes?

Bangilas glanced at the meteorite in his hand.

Is this a lump of coal?

However, before it could speak, Hoopa unleashed its power, sending out a golden ring and opening a dimensional portal.

slam-la-

Large quantities of coal slid out from the interdimensional portal.

"Banji?"

Coal mine?

How can this compare to its meteorite?
"Hopa!"

Just then, Mayari, who had just finished talking with her brother Balza, turned around and saw this scene. She immediately put her hands on her hips and shouted angrily.

"Pouring!"

Hupa shuddered, startled by Mayali's shout.

"Hupa." Jinghe, who was standing nearby, picked up a piece of coal from the ground and couldn't help but call out.

Seeing Jing He's actions, Hu Pa raised his head and immediately grinned:
"Hupa's amazing, right? Hupa's the best!"

“It really is a coal mine,” Jing He shook his head.

It's not like Bangilas, who dislikes coal mines as being inferior to meteorites, but rather he feels...
With the power of Hoopa, it's no wonder he became arrogant, conceited, and did whatever he pleased.

If you want to eat something, you can use your power to open a dimensional portal to get it. If you want something, you can also use a dimensional portal to get it. You can even get an opponent through a dimensional portal.

Who would bother to work hard now?

Who still wants to strive?

It's astonishing how long it took Hoopa to develop such power; Jinghe has to admire Hoopa's self-control.

If he had that kind of ability, hmph, he'd rise up in rebellion and become king in no time, making the heavens number one and himself number two.

Although she was envious, well, Jinghe still said "against her will":

"Hoopa, you're trying to get a 'sense of accomplishment' from Bangiras, aren't you?"

"A sense of accomplishment? Hoopa?" Little Hoopa looked bewildered.

Getting what you want so easily is fine once or twice, but after a while, it gets boring and you start to feel indifferent.

If someone can easily pick up a small amount of money, who would care about its meaning? It's just a long string of numbers.

Therefore, Hoopa needs to gain a sense of accomplishment from the amazement, praise, and astonishment of others.

This was also what was initially done when Hupa was liberated.

Later, encouraged by humans, it gained another kind of "sense of accomplishment" in battles with Pokémon.

Over time, they gradually lose themselves.

"Do you know what this is?" Jing He asked, taking a meteorite out of Bangiras's "food bowl".

"Hupa knows, it's a lump of coal!"

"No, it's a meteorite."

"A meteorite?" Hoopa was taken aback, but quickly said, "Hoopa will conjure a meteorite right now! Hoopa is the most powerful!"

But Jinghe ignored it and instead asked:

Do you know how we obtained these meteorites?

Perhaps it was because Jinghe's voice was so magnetic, or perhaps Jinghe's waveguide was subtly soothing Huba's emotions, it couldn't help but ask:
"How did you get it?"

Jing He smiled slightly, "We'll ride Rayquaza into space, face a meteorite capable of destroying the entire Pokémon world, and pierce it with a single blow! Then..."

He then recounted, bit by bit, how they obtained the meteorite.

Hupa listened intently, even tugging at Jinghe and asking, "And then what? And then what?"

Looking at the two people and their Pokémon huddled together, Mei Yali felt, for some reason, see the shadow of her great-grandfather in Teacher Jing He once again.

No, even my great-grandfather probably didn't have such a good relationship with Teacher Jinghe, nor could he explain things so thoroughly.

Mei Yali had already understood what Jing He meant from his words.

He wanted to tell Hoopa that what is truly something to be proud of is not how much you acquire or how much it is worth, but the process of acquiring it.

What Hoopa lacked was precisely this process.

"Like the donuts you like to eat, do you know how they're made?" Jinghe changed the subject again.

How is "lao tao" made?

Hoopa scratched his head, but his eyes quickly lit up and he said, "Hoopa can conjure things up directly, Hoopa is amazing!"

Mei Yali was furious and was about to speak when Jing He's gentle voice rang out again.

"What if it doesn't come out through your golden ring?"

"Hupa, Hupa, Hupa doesn't know," Little Hupa drooped her head.

"I'll teach you," Jing He said with a smile.

"If it were Hoopa, he would definitely be able to learn it in no time, and then he could make donuts for Mayari and Balza."

Upon hearing this, Hupa's eyes lit up.

"Okay! Hoopa wants to learn!"

“Very good, this is the best Huba.” Jinghe patted Huba’s little head. “Then let’s start by buying wheat.”

"Buy wheat?" Huba was taken aback.

Just do it.

Then Jinghe took Huba to the Valley of Creation, a place full of farmland, and found an old farmer. They wanted to buy some ripe wheat from him to grind into flour.

However, Hupa had no money, and Jinghe clearly didn't want to pay either.

Therefore, Jinghe proposed to exchange wheat for helping the old man with his work.

Sweat.

Sweating profusely, Hu Pa and Jing He used hoes of various sizes, crafted by the master blacksmith, to till the fields for the old man until nightfall, harvesting some plump wheat in return.

"I'm so tired, Huba," little Huba said, wiping her forehead.

You're a Pokémon, aren't you? We're not tired at all, but you're complaining. Jinghe feels like she has the constitution to become a "naturally strong and powerful person".

But he still said, "Look at this golden wheat, which Hoopa earned with his own hands."

“Oh right.” Hupa mimicked Jinghe, reaching into the bag and grabbing a handful, a glint in his eyes.

Next.

It involves grinding, kneading, and fermenting the dough.
"Little Jing has turned into a big tabby cat~ Let's scoop her up~"

During the process, Xiao Hupa mischievously reached out and wiped Jinghe's face, laughing out loud.

Jinghe, of course, wouldn't tolerate it, and slapped it across the face with her hand, "Pfft hahaha—Old Huba!"

"Damn you, Xiao Jing, go get him!"

After the playful banter, the actual production process began.

Little Huba was clearly doing this for the first time; aside from the outline, almost everything else was problematic, but
At this stage, little Hoopa was already looking forward to the results. It stared at the Rotom oven that was running, its eyes shining brightly.

"Ding! Mission complete, Loto!"

When Rotom opened the oven, a plume of steaming white smoke and a fragrant aroma wafted out. Little Huba took a deep, blissful breath, her eyes blinking as she said:
"It smells so good, let's make some!"

A whole tray of donuts comes out of the oven, topped with cream, berries, and chocolate.
goo-dong-

Little Huba swallowed hard, ignoring the heat, and grabbed one to put in its mouth, but stopped before it could bite.

He hurriedly flew to Mayali's side and said with a proud expression:

"Mayali, try this! Hoopa made these donuts, Hoopa is amazing!"

Mayali's expression was complicated as she looked at the proud little Huba, her eyes sparkling. She reached out and took the Huba, ignoring the heat, and after taking a bite, praised it without any hesitation:
"Wow! Hoopa is amazing! The donuts Hoopa made are the best I've ever eaten! Hoopa is incredible."

Hearing this, Hoopa, who was exhausted after a long day, seemed to be filled with inexhaustible energy. With her little head held high, she distributed the gifts to Balzac, Gengar, Tyranitar, Snivy, and other Pokémon one by one.

The little guys were very supportive, praising Little Huba's amazing abilities after receiving it, making the little creatures' tails practically wag in the air.

After dividing it around, there was only one donut left. Little Huba glanced at Jinghe and then broke it in half for her without hesitation.

"Here you go, Xiao Jing, let's eat together, let's have some hot pot!"

For the first time, little Hoopa experienced a sense of accomplishment completely different from that of using the interdimensional portal through the golden halo. This feeling of being tired yet warm all over was truly intoxicating.

"Thank you." Jinghe smiled and took the bag, taking a bite. "Mmm, it's really delicious! Hoopa could be a pastry chef at my café!"

"Hehe, let's go!"

Little Huba also took a bite, her face beaming with happiness and satisfaction.

"These are the best donuts Hoopa has ever eaten!"

to be frank.

Actually, the donuts made in such a hurry didn't taste very good.

But its added value makes it a unique donut in the world, which is naturally the most delicious for Hoopa.

"From now on, Hoopa will make donuts for everyone every day!" little Hoopa shouted confidently.

Seeing Hoopa laughing with Teacher Jinghe, Mayari, and all the Pokémon, Balzac also had a big smile on his face.

"Perhaps this is what my great-grandfather meant by 'discipline'."

Let Hoopa understand that things are hard-won, and let it understand the importance of the "process".
This is probably why Hoopa's golden ring can obtain anything, but it cannot pass through itself.
The destination is important, but the scenery and experiences along the way make it more meaningful and memorable.
Barza was genuinely impressed.

Is this the power of Jing He, the "Messenger of Arceus" and "Master of the Mind"?

Although everything he did seemed ordinary, it had a huge impact on Hoopa.

At this moment, he felt that perhaps Hoopa really had the possibility of completely mastering the power to unleash the "Shadow of Hoopa".

really.

After sharing the donuts, Hoopa played with Jinghe and his Pokémon again. Although it would subconsciously think of using the Golden Halo, it now hesitates and thinks before using the Golden Halo's power.

It's very difficult to completely change Hoopa's mindset and habits in just one time.

But the fact that it made you hesitate and think is a good start.

Night falls.

In the Valley of Creation, at Mayali's home.

Hoopa was fast asleep on Dragonite's belly, murmuring to itself.

"So, Hoopa can become even more powerful, lol.zzZ"
