Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 671: Sakaki's Showdown and Hoopa's Return! (Seeking monthly votes!)
"Nimi~(≧▽≦)"

"So fun, scoop it up~ It's so much fun, scoop it up~"

"Wow, so high, Loto!"

The three little creatures, Victini, Rotom, and Hoopa, bounced up and down across the field, just like they were being tossed around like balls.

And that is indeed the case.

Ninetales lay lazily and comfortably on the soft grass, its three fluffy and lively tails bobbing up and down. Sometimes it would catch a falling Victini and toss it high, and sometimes it would catch a falling Hoopa and throw it high into the air. Rotom did the same, having a great time.

It has a rhythmic feel to it, like a circus clown throwing a ball.

"Nimi~"

Victini was thrown into the air, its entire body turned upside down, waving and calling to the sniper sitting on the edge of the field.

Let's play together!
"Hisni! (#｀Van)"

The vine snake stood with its hands on its hips, baring its teeth.

Who wants to play with you? You're so childish!
But seeing how happy they were, I couldn't help but feel a little curious.

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox smiled gently.

"Ow~"

call--

A snow-white, soft tail suddenly curled up gently.

While coiling up the snail, toss it high into the air just like you would toss the other three little creatures.

Feeling the weightlessness and the strange dizziness, Tengteng Snake's lips involuntarily curled up, almost impossible to suppress, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she let out a soft hum.

"Shinni!"

Well then, I'll reluctantly join you guys for a bit!
And so, the four little creatures took turns flying across the fields of the Valley of Creation.

"Banji."

Tyranitar watched this scene with undisguised longing, then looked at Nine-Tails.

Noticing Tyranitar's gaze, Ninetales' smile froze slightly.

Extend a tail and press it against the head of the bastard, making it turn its head to look at Jing He, not at itself.

"Banji."

Bangilas scratched his head.

Could Jinghe lift him up high?
His eyes showed anticipation.

However, Jing He didn't notice Bangiras's gaze at all at this moment, or even if she did, she would probably pretend not to see it.

joke.

When Tyranitar was a baby, it was somewhat manageable, but even Ash couldn't toss this Tyranitar high, let alone the fact that his own Tyranitar weighs at least twice as much as a normal Tyranitar.

When it was a baby Tyranitar, it wasn't a big problem for Jinghe to fall, but after it evolved into Tyranitar, it could at most be helped up, that was the limit.

Moreover, Jinghe had something even more important to do at this time.

"I didn't expect that Master Sakaki would actually come."

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, dressed in a sharp black suit and with his hair neatly combed, Jing He couldn't help but feel surprised.

Although Giovanni said he would come two days ago, I didn't expect him to come so soon.

"Cough cough."

Sakaki coughed twice with a normal expression, then smiled and said:
“You mentioned a ‘big project,’ so I’d like to come and see if it’s really feasible. It’s always right.”

Jing He shrugged and said:

"You've probably seen enough by now, haven't you?"

Those that flew in from the sky have probably already taken a general look at the environment around the Valley of Creation, and even the environment around Desert City.

Upon hearing this, Sakaki said seriously:

"indeed."

Giovanni, who is known as "Giovanni of the Earth," may not be able to say anything else, but his understanding and knowledge of the earth is definitely among the top three in the Pokémon world!
What might be a desert or Gobi to others was not without a place for Sakaki to build.

“Dangerous infrastructure” projects do indeed have some feasibility.

but
"My people will continue to survey here to obtain the final data and provide a relatively feasible solution."

The Rockets' main business is definitely not infrastructure, but if you ask what else the Rockets can do, there are many.

I dare not boast about anything else.

Give the trio enough financial support, and believe me, they could cover the entire city's infrastructure.

Are you going to start providing solutions right away?

Looking at Sakaki, who seemed confident and had already won this battle, Jinghe secretly clicked her tongue in amazement.

But to be fair, the Rockets are known for their decisive and efficient approach to things.

"Cough cough."

Sakaki couldn't help but cough again.

Seeing this, Jing He frowned. "Master Sakaki, you..."

"I'm fine." Sakaki straightened his tie, his demeanor remaining calm and confident.

Jinghe thought of Sakaki's illness in the special episode again and couldn't help but say:

"Actually, I am not only well-versed in Pokémon psychology, but I also have some medical knowledge."

Sakaki glanced at him with some surprise.

You seem to know a little bit about everything?
But Sakaki smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need. I know my own situation very well. You're not the only one with special abilities."

As the chosen one of Viridian Forest, Giovanni, who possesses the power of Viridian, is well aware of his current situation.

"It seems that the rumor is true." Jing He suddenly realized.

Sakaki suddenly changed the subject:
"I've seen that child."

child?

Little Silver?

and then?
Before Jinghe could ask, Sakaki continued:
"That child has a deep prejudice against fire and against me now."

Jinghe remained silent.

But Sakaki stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Jinghe, I want to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing this, Jing He's expression changed slightly.

"I originally wanted to pass on some of my 'things' to him, but... cough cough, let me be frank, you know I'm the leader of Team Rocket, right?"

Jing He: "!!!"

Boss, there's something wrong with the way you're talking!
What about our chemistry?

Is it something we both understand without saying?

Why did you just lay it all out?

and also
What's going on with you acting like you're about to die and are preparing to entrust your children to someone else?

Seeing the surprise but not shock on Jing He's face, Sakamoto smiled slightly.

Sure enough.

It feels great to have the cat out of the bag.
silence.

A long silence fell between the two.

After a long pause, it was Sakaki who broke the silence first, "When did you find out?"

Jing He said quietly, "It's quite early, isn't it?"

"How early?"

"The second time you added me."

"So early?"

Sakaki was surprised.

Because his first friend request to add Jinghe was rejected, but it was accepted on his second attempt.

In other words, Jing He already knew he was the leader of the Rockets from that time on?

Jing He shrugged. "The situation with Mewtwo made me suspect from the beginning that it was a man-made Pokémon, and at that time, the only people capable of creating Pokémon were..."

"I see." Sakaki nodded.

After a pause, he added, "You don't seem to be afraid?"

Jinghe rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Not afraid? I was terrified at first."

"Then what"

"But after getting to know them, I found they weren't beyond redemption. There are some innocent and lovable people on Team Rocket, and besides, if they could..."

Sakaki interrupted, "So, you suggested, or even guided, me to reform Team Rocket? And provided a lot of solutions and support for this."

"Boss Sakaki, shall we go back to our previous way of communicating?" Jing He rubbed his temples.

Skull hurts.

Upon hearing the word "boss," Sakaki smiled broadly.

Jinghe did know that he was the leader of Team Rocket a long time ago, but unlike other League Trainers, he did not either call for an attack or avoid him at all costs. Instead, he even tried to contact and guide him. This made Giovanni realize the difference between Jinghe and ordinary League Trainers.

Jinghe: That's right, it's definitely not for the so-called salary.

Sakaki said directly, "I originally planned to let Silver inherit Team Rocket, but he not only seems uninterested in it, but also quite disgusted with Team Rocket."

This is inevitable.

As Dehua said, if I had a choice, I would want to be a good person.

Of course, Giovanni had anticipated this situation, which is why he dedicated himself to transforming the Rockets, but
He quickly composed himself and said:
"Starting today, you are granted the highest authority in the Rockets besides mine, including but not limited to the power to command, appoint, and manage all personnel except for a few top executives."

"no."

As soon as Sakaki said this, Jinghe widened her eyes and tried to speak, but Sakaki interrupted her again.

“There are things you don’t need to do in person. You can continue to maintain your identity as ‘Teacher Jinghe’. You can use the real bird to complete most of the orders.”

He coughed again and continued solemnly:

"The Rockets' transformation must continue, and all opposing opinions and voices, whether from you or me, can be addressed directly!"

"If Xiao Yin is willing to take it, you can give it to him; if Xiao Yin is not willing..."

At this point, Sakaki stopped talking and just looked intently at Jinghe.

Jinghe was somewhat taken aback at this moment.

Previously, it only felt like entrusting someone's child to another, but now... isn't this exactly what you're doing?

Whether Xiao Yin is willing or not is another matter. Why don't you just say, "If she is unwilling, you may take it yourself"?

Jinghe wanted to say something, but Sakaki abandoned his previous demeanor and regained his confident appearance.

"Let's go. Since it's infrastructure construction, shouldn't we go see the mayor of Desert City?" Sealed Land.

A group of Team Flare members, dressed in orange suits and wearing orange sunglasses, arrived in a special helicopter.

"It should be here."

"I'm holding a small laptop in one hand and a dark box in the other," said Kutherouschi, a member of Team Flare.

soon.

Amidst flashes of red light, several pangolins appeared on the rugged rock face.

The next moment, rubble and debris began to fly everywhere.

However, the sealed land is not so easy to find. Even if you have a relatively accurate location, there are complicated passageways all over the mountain walls.

However, Team Flare possessed the most advanced imaging technology in the entire Pokémon world, and by combining this technology, images of the entire area were quickly displayed.

but
Still not.

"Lord Kutheroschi, there are unknown energy fluctuations in this area!"

Technology can sometimes have amazing effects.

"Can't get close."

"This should be the seal," Kutheroschi said confidently, waving his hand. "Brutal dismantle it!"

"Yes!"

boom! !

A muffled sound suddenly came from the deep cave, and ripples spread across the transparent sealing barrier.

"It really is a seal." Kutheroschi adjusted his sunglasses. "Continue the assault!"

boom! boom! boom--

To be fair, the seal left by Balzac's great-grandfather was quite powerful, which explains why it was able to seal Hoopa. Team Flare attacked for a while but couldn't break through the barrier.

However, the violent tremors, especially the damage to the surrounding environment, eventually caused the seal behind the barrier to loosen somewhat.

At this time.

"Lord Kutheroschi! Someone is approaching us!" his subordinate immediately reported.

"Who is it? Just take them down." Kutheroschi waved his hand dismissively.

"Can't take it."

"Can't get it?" Kutheroschi raised an eyebrow.

The Team Flare member was covered in sweat. "The opponent is extremely skilled in unrestricted combat in the wild, and their fighting strength is very high!"

Kutherloschi frowned.

Is he the guardian of the seal? Or...?
He came in a hurry this time and didn't bring many people with him, considering his own safety.

After taking a deep look at the cave, Kutheroschi said quite decisively:

"retreat!"

Since they can't break it in a short time, neither the guardian of the seal nor anyone else can break it either.

Let's retreat tactically for now!

"Run so fast!"

As Team Flare retreated, several elite Team Rocket members, each with their own Pokémon, appeared here, grumbling and cursing.

They were "inspection personnel" who had come with Sakaki and were investigating the situation in the valley when they heard the commotion and rushed over.

"Those guys are Team Flare, right?"

"Who cares? They don't know who we are anyway."

"But what are they doing here?"

"Captain Jian?"

The team members suddenly noticed that their captain was standing in front of a dilapidated rock wall.

click -

An extremely faint sound emanated from within the rock face.

next moment.

A strangely shaped pot appeared before them. If Jing He were here, she would definitely recognize it as the Punishment Pot!

Furthermore, there is a very fine crack on the body of the pot, as if it had been hit by some kind of stone.

Snapped!
Suddenly, the Rocket team captain named "Ken" reached out and grabbed the "Punishment Jar." A strange red light emerged from the jar, quickly receded from his body, and disappeared.

this moment.

Suddenly, an idea popped into the mind of this "captain Jian".

I'm going to Desert City, I'm going to find Boss Giovanni, I'm going to find that awful Gengar!

"The seal was broken from the inside?"

Team Flare and Kutherosch detected an unusual fluctuation of "desire" and returned.

Kutherloschi glanced in the direction of Desert City, his expression shifting several times.

"Lord Kutheroschi"

call--

Kutherroschi let out a soft breath and said in a deep voice, "First, collect the remaining 'desires' here. These things will be incredibly effective in helping us control Z2, and then..."

We must immediately inform Representative Vladali about what's happening here and ask him to make a decision!

"Ah-"

Gengar sneezed uncontrollably, rubbed its nose, and looked puzzled.

Got a cold?
Just last night I took Little Hoopa for a couple of walks in the mountains of Genesis Valley. The valley was cool at night, but not that cold, right?
for safety.

Gengar took out his small teapot and Vitality Root Tea and leisurely brewed tea in the tea room.

"哓GA!"

correct!

A light bulb appeared on Gengar's head.

It raised its hand, and a spatial rift suddenly appeared beside it, disappearing halfway as soon as it stretched out its hand.

Ever since it "ate" the thing that floated out of the pot, although it couldn't be said to have completely digested it, Gengar could clearly feel that its spatial abilities seemed to have become stronger.

However, to be fair...
That lump really didn't taste good. Not only was it unpalatable, it was also hard to digest. If Gengar hadn't had a strong stomach, other Pokémon would probably have gotten diarrhea from eating it.

"Genga."

Eat some good food to help calm down!
After searching for a while, Gengar finally had a bright idea. He pulled out half a "Dark Stone" from the crack, crushed it, sprinkled it into the Spirit Root Tea, and then savored it with relish.

call--

"Genga~()"

Bashideban~
suddenly.

Gengar seemed to sense something, its ears perked up instantly, it straightened up, a hint of seriousness flashed in its eyes, and then, ignoring the heat, it downed the tea in one gulp and flew swiftly towards Jinghe's direction.

at the same time.

"Haha, then it's decided in a very pleasant way!" The mayor of Desert City, a chubby middle-aged man, seemed to be in a very good mood.

Because he had just finalized a comprehensive cooperation project with Teacher Jinghe and Mr. Sakaki.

It seems that Desert City can become more prosperous under his "leadership"!
"Hu-Hupa!"

Meanwhile, little Hoopa, who was playing with Victini nearby, suddenly shuddered, as if she had sensed something extremely terrifying.

Ok?
Jinghe and Banmu almost simultaneously shifted their gazes from the mayor to the sky.

Under a clear blue sky and bright sunshine, without a single cloud, a dark shadow, aided by a cross-bat, swiftly flew towards them from afar.

"Ken?" Sakaki was somewhat surprised.

"哓GA!"

Gengar suddenly appeared in front of Jinghe.

"Is it?" Jing He's heart skipped a beat, and she asked.

"哓GA!"

Gengar nodded.

Jing He's expression immediately became extremely serious.

Although I don't know what happened to the seal that was perfectly fine before, but now...
"Hupa, come here quickly!" Jinghe called out.

"coming!"

Hearing Jinghe's voice, Hupa, who was feeling scared, immediately felt reassured and came to Jinghe's side with Biktini.

pat-

Captain Ken, the leader of the Rockets' elite squad, landed on the open ground.

Before Sakaki could speak, Jinghe acted decisively.

Gengar, Dark Hole!

"哓GA!"

Gengar licked its tongue, grinned maliciously, and quickly condensed a black hole, enveloping Jian.

boom--

Jian fell to the ground with almost no resistance.

but.

The "Bottle of Punishment" that he was holding was now floating in mid-air, enveloped in a black and red mist.

"Teacher Jinghe, it's the 'Bottle of Punishment'!" Mei Yali, who was playing with Huba, exclaimed in surprise when she saw the "Bottle of Punishment".

"The Judgment Jar?" Sakaki looked puzzled.

“I saw it.” Jing He rubbed her temples.

Will what's meant to happen eventually come?

Did something completely unexpected happen in between?
boom! !

A dark red mist, thick with an aura of evil, suddenly surged out as the "Judgement Jar" trembled.

The chilling negative energy filled the entire open space almost instantly.

"Hoopa—is back!!"

A fierce and furious roar echoed across the open space.

"Hupa, Hupa, don't disappear, ladle!"

Little Huba, her face filled with terror, huddled behind Jinghe.

However, to Little Huba's surprise, the "evil shadow" didn't rush towards it immediately, but instead...
"Hey! You damned ghost, come and die!!"

P.S.: I had a parent-teacher meeting today, which inexplicably lasted almost four hours. I was completely dazed, so there were fewer updates today. Sorry.
