Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 683 of the book, "Our Story" (two parts combined, please vote with monthly tickets!)
The Road to the Championship?

In the Pokémon world, almost every league has its own path to becoming a champion.

For example, in Kanto, the Road to Champions is on Mount Shirogane, leading from the bottom up into the depths of Mount Shirogane.

The dangers of Mt. Silver are well-known. After becoming the champion, Red has been training deep within Mt. Silver, which is home to a large number of powerful and high-level wild Pokémon, making it a "no-go zone" for many ordinary trainers.

Because the Johto region is connected to the Kanto region and is separated by the Mt. Shirogane mountain range, it actually shares the Champion Road with the Kanto region.

Each regional champion has one chance to challenge the "Road to Champion".

The path to becoming a champion and the path to becoming a champion are two different concepts.

Challengers, such as the future Blue and Red, only need to win the tournament championship to overcome all obstacles on the road to the championship and finally defeat the Four Heavenly Kings to win the real championship title!

He became one of the few who truly became champions simply by winning the tournament.

In most regions, only trainers who have completed the Champion's Path and defeated the Elite Four can be considered to have truly become the champion of that region.

If the old champion is still around, then the path to becoming a champion will be even more difficult.

Just like the crimson of the future.

Unlike the Path to Champion, the Path to Champion consists mostly of trainers who are confident in their own abilities.

Not all of them are master-level trainers, but it's definitely not a place that beginner trainers can enter.

Challengers not only face powerful wild Pokémon and dangerous environments, but also the challenges posed by trainers who have honed their skills on the path to victory.

Finally, they reached the end of the road to the championship, facing off against the Four Heavenly Kings and even the champion!

Cynthia had been preparing for this, aiming to become the champion of the Sinnoh region.

The Champion Road in the Hoenn region is actually located on an island in the southeasternmost corner of the Hoenn region, directly south of the Hoenn League headquarters.

From the moment we landed on the island until we reached the Alliance headquarters.

Some time ago, Jinghe investigated the bay at Bonnie's request, which was a small section of the Champion Road in the Hoenn region.

When Yuanzhi Tianwang heard Jinghe's words, he was stunned for a moment, and even forgot the question he had asked Jinghe earlier.

"You want to take on the path to the championship?"

He asked again as if to confirm.

Heaven knows how long the Fengyuan Alliance had been waiting for Jing He's words, and how many times they had inquired about it, both openly and secretly.

They even planned to "throw the game" in the final stage of the road to the championship, the challenge against the Four Heavenly Kings.

Oh, this "flooding" is a standard practice for all regional alliances.

After all, humans are social beings who value interpersonal relationships. We see each other all the time, so there's no need to make things too awkward. Only those who are recognized by everyone have the opportunity to challenge for the championship.

This brings us to why Watari from Kanto couldn't achieve the championship path in the Kanto region.

Kikuko is an aloof and unpredictable person. Just the fact that she's just one person is enough to give A-du a hard time. It would be strange if she could get through it.

"Ah."

Faced with Genji's renewed question, Jinghe nodded solemnly, his face serious.

"After going through some things, I've figured things out." Jing He looked enlightened.

However, Genji was no fool. After a brief moment of astonishment, he slowly grasped the key point.

He said with a look of sudden realization:

"For that island."

Jing He: "."

No, why are you all thinking that way?
Can't you think of people in a better light?
Why are they all slandering people for no reason?

He took two deep breaths and immediately said in an annoyed tone:

"King Genji, I."

Before he could finish speaking, Genji stopped him with a gesture that said, "I understand."

Isn't it just learning from Master Masdema of the Galar region?

It's all a small matter.

Jing He: "."

but.

To be fair.

To say that it wasn't all for the island would be a lie.

But to say it was entirely for that island wouldn't be accurate.

Jinghe has always had a "little dream".

All I want is to live a comfortable, peaceful, and tranquil life with my Pokémon. If it were on a self-sufficient, beautiful, and serene island, that would be perfect.

Teaching every day, interacting with different Pokémon, and solving small problems within my ability is enough for me.

Then, marry a beautiful and considerate wife, and everything will be perfect.

At most, I'll take on a few more disciples and students.

Like Master Ma, that would be great.

Jinghe views this as an "early retirement plan".

But as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.

He's not the type to completely abandon his responsibilities just because he sees something happening.

After experiencing a series of events in the Hoenn, Carlos, and other regions, he understood.

Some things you can't avoid, and some things you can't escape.

Then just accept it and take the "legitimate" title along the way.

Since both champions and non-champions need to be regulated, why not simply remove the title of "champion"?

After a year or two, when Daigo has fully "matured," the responsibility can be handed over to him, and then I can finally live a peaceful and carefree life.

And, incidentally, it's also a way to pave the way for one's "early retirement plan."

At least.

The champion's annual salary is quite high.

I didn't want to before because the champion of the Hoenn region was too "dangerous." You might encounter a team like Magma or Team Aqua, or a battle between two ancient gods that would last for 22 days.

just now.

Haven't we all gone through these things, and now they're all in the past?

not to mention.

The strength, reputation, and public image of a regional champion can influence trainers in that region to a certain extent, inspiring others to learn from and emulate them.

A trainer who doesn't aspire to be a champion is not a good breeder.

If he takes the lead in resisting and suppressing Pokémon hunting and the sale of wild Pokémon, it will have a better effect.

One last thing.

Just like the question Genji asked in his very first sentence.

If a trainer is just an ordinary trainer who has become too involved with Team Rocket leader Giovanni, even if Team Rocket has truly changed its strategy, it's hard to say whether this trainer was used, misled, or used as a pawn.

But if a regional champion negotiates with the Rockets and the Rockets subsequently transform their business, then it becomes a case of the champion persuading the Rockets to do good, or the champion "recruiting" the Rockets to reform.

Once your identity changes, the way you talk about it becomes completely different.

This is also one of the reasons why Jinghe didn't answer Yuanzhi's question, but instead threw out her own "bomb".

While Jinghe was lost in thought, Yuanzhi Tianwang was also making his own "little plans".

Jing He is not worried at all about whether he will succeed in his quest for the championship.

He was afraid that Jing He wouldn't take the challenge; as long as he did, there wouldn't be a big problem!

Afterwards, Jinghe took over as the Hoenn Champion, and Daigo took over the Elite Four from him, and then he retired!
Retire in style!
Retire with peace of mind!
perfect!

"Tell me, when are you planning to take on the challenge?" Genji Tenno couldn't help but ask.

"No, I'm challenging you. What's with that impatient look on your face?" Jinghe thought to herself.

"Uh, let's prepare... let's prepare for a while."

Jinghe said.

Regardless of whether the Hoenn Alliance members are prepared to "go easy" or not, he doesn't intend to treat this as a matter of going easy on them, and it's best if there's no such situation.

Otherwise, it would be unfair to others, and also somewhat unfair to the efforts of your own Pokémon.

Currently, Gengar is undoubtedly the strongest member of Jinghe's team.

After "digesting" some of the energy obtained from the super demon god Hoopa "Shadow" and the energy given by a small piece of "Rainbow Meteorite", Gengar is about the same level as an ordinary champion ace Pokémon.

It might be slightly off, but probably not by much, probably around 80-90%.

Although it's estimated that it hasn't reached the level of peak Cynthia's Garchomp, peak Steven's ace Garchomp, or ace Shiny Metagross, it definitely has a chance in the future. At present, it's also stronger than Cynthia's Garchomp and Steven's Shiny Metagross.

But if you add Mega Evolution, Crystallization, Z-Moves, etc.

With a single buff, it should be fine against a level 3 legendary bird like Zapdos.

If all powers are activated, even a first-level god has a chance to put up a fight without using their "authority" to crush the opponent.

But Jinghe certainly didn't want to try going all out again.

Even if, as Arceus suggested, obtaining the "Fairy Tablets" would greatly reduce his pressure, he was still unwilling to try it lightly.

After Gengar, it should be Ice Ninetales, Dragonite, and Greatsmith.

Ninetales is slightly stronger than Dragonite and Greatsmith, but Jinghe doesn't know by how much, because even he has never seen Ninetales go into its ultimate form.

only know.

In any case, besides him, only Ninetales in their family can control Gengar, and the Pokémon they have captured all trust Ninetales.

After receiving Xerneas's "blessing," the Fairy type's "weaknesses" were largely made up for.

It's roughly at the level of a regular champion's main Pokémon, but not quite at the level of an ace Pokémon.

As for Dragonite and Greatsmith.

Those are all at the level of ordinary champion main Pokémon.

Dragonite received the "Dragon's Eye" scroll thanks to Rayquaza's protection, and also gained something from Gengar's "Rainbow Meteor".

Their strength has been on a clear upward trend recently.

In addition, it is a pseudo-legendary Pokémon with extraordinary potential, showing signs of catching up with Ice Ninetales.

Jinghe estimated that this "rise period" would allow Dragonite to reach the level of an ordinary champion ace Pokémon before it would gradually subside.

And the master blacksmith.

Having also received Xerneas's "blessing," it now possesses the strength of a regular Champion's main Pokémon, and its physical attack is significantly stronger than its special attack.

If you encounter a "bird" Pokémon, your strength might even increase.

According to Arceus, it seems that he intends to lend him the "Fairy Tablets" for a period of time.

With the help of the Fairy Tablet, the strength of Ninetales and Greatsmith will likely experience a brief period of explosive growth, at least reaching the level of a regular Champion or Ace Pokémon.

In fact, if they are a perfect match, it's not impossible that they could surpass Gengar in the future.

cough.

Next up are Martial Arts Bear Master and Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Both of them are the type that can "transform," and their combat power fluctuates.

If we only look at their theoretical strength, they might barely reach the level of a champion, but they are a level below Greatsmith and Dragonite.

However, if we consider their inherent variability and their encounter with a suitable opponent, then it's hard to say what will happen.

Moreover, both Martial Arts Bear Master and Azure Flame Blade Demon possess waveguides and are relatively easily influenced by emotions.

He really unleashed his full potential!
They dare to raise their fists and brandish their swords even against a first-level god.

Not to mention that the martial arts master Xiong was already considered a "divine beast".

And Bangilas.
Its current strength is really hard to assess.

Recently, since its evolution, Tyranitar has been one of the characters whose strength has changed the fastest and made the most rapid progress.

Under the influence of Groudon, Earth Slab Shard, and Crimson Orb Shard, combined with the only Mega Evolver besides Gengar, and the only Weather Setter besides Ice-type Ninetales, the power comes from the combination of these factors.
The positioning of the tactical core is almost clear.

In the short term, reaching the championship level should not be a problem.

Therefore, Jinghe's plan for this championship journey is to have Martial Arts Bear Master, Azure Flame Blade Demon, and Banjiras contribute more and gain more experience.

Strive for it.

This will allow Martial Arts Bear Master and Azure Flame Blade Demon to advance their strength further, and allow Tyranitar's strength to steadily reach the Champion level.

Anyway, recently, everyone, including Gengar, has been working extra hard because Jinghe "died once".

Even if nutrition is adequate, it may be the biggest problem that "hinders" their progress, and it is also the "big trouble" that Jinghe needs to face the most.

As for the last one, it was the proud little snake Snivy, which was captured in the shortest time.

His talent, especially his intelligence, was so great that even Jing He, who was used to seeing Gengar and Ninetales, couldn't help but marvel at it.

The only problem might be that it hasn't evolved.

In fact, even now, Jinghe still doesn't fully understand why Snivy doesn't evolve.

However, given the lack of major events recently, Jinghe is preparing to carefully consider and have a heart-to-heart talk with Tengtengshe to figure out what's going on.

Snivy has no shortage of talent, effort, or nutrition.

If it evolves, its strength might experience an even more dramatic and rapid increase than Tyranitar is currently in.

Of course, if Snivy doesn't want to evolve, Jinghe won't force it.

It's good that it hasn't evolved. It's a little arrogant, and sometimes you can hug it and rub it hard. If it really evolved into Serperior, I wonder how arrogant it would become.

Jinghe has always respected the wishes of Pokémon.

Moreover.

Not evolving does not mean that one cannot progress or grow.

The red Pikachu, Ash's Pikachu, didn't evolve into Raichu either, so are they weaker?

It may require much more, even many times more, effort.

Jinghe wasn't afraid of this, and she certainly wouldn't be afraid of the vine snake if it were her own will.

While making simple calculations in his mind, he also joked around with Genji.

The old king said earnestly:

"The timing is up to you. Let us know when you're ready. But... let's do it as soon as possible."

Genji, the Heavenly King, practically has "I want to retire" written all over his face.

I originally thought I would have to wait for Daigo for another year or two, but who knew that things would take a turn for the better.

As for saying.

What if Jinghe becomes the champion, Daigo?
hum.

How could Yuanzhi not understand Jinghe's thoughts?
If this guy can "persist" for two years, then that's his ambition.

In the end, won't Daigo still take over?

It's quite a story for students to inherit their teachers' talents.

The Galar region is using a similar approach.

At that time, Michael will also be able to be "brought up" to replace Daigo.

Perfect! As one of the older generation of Elite Four members, Genji had never felt so confident about the bright future of the Hoenn region as he did at this moment.

"correct."

After being happy for a while, King Genji suddenly remembered the real reason he came to find Jinghe.

"You and Sakaki from Kanto"

Jing He also composed herself, pursed her lips, and after sorting out her thoughts, prepared to briefly recount how she met Sakaki.

During this time, he cleverly concealed the fact that he recognized Giovanni as the leader of Team Rocket.

After all, he and Sakaki had maintained a tacit understanding for so long precisely to prepare for this moment.

After listening to Jinghe's explanation, Yuanzhi Tianwang finally understood.

It turns out that the two had known each other since then.

only.

They met through a doctor-patient relationship.

He still thought Jing He didn't know Sakaki's identity.

After learning that Jinghe had not been fooled, deceived, or taken advantage of, he thought it over and decided not to tell Jinghe for the time being.

Anyway, once he completes the path to the championship and attends the Grand Alliance meeting twice as the champion of Fengyuan, we'll know.

Jinghe doesn't have the authority to know right now.

Then I thought about it.

Given Jinghe's cunning, it's highly unlikely that she would be betrayed and then repay the betrayer.

Who knows who's counting the money for whom?

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur, and coupled with some incredibly good news, Genji's mood immediately improved.

"Don't get too involved with this person."

King Genji still gave a word of advice.

After thinking for a moment, he added:
"However, Giovanni's strength and abilities are still quite good. It would be a good thing if he could learn more about Pokémon."

extraordinary.

Genji was somewhat wary of Sakaki's identity.

However, he seemed to quite acknowledge Sakaki's strength and abilities.

After giving him a brief warning, he inquired about the second matter of his trip.

"The Alliance asked me to inquire if you have anything urgent recently," Genji asked.

Such a big thing happened in the Desert City of the Carlos region. Although there's nothing to reward, we can't leave it unrewarded.

Jinghe picked up her coffee and glanced at Genji.

"What I lack, others may not know, but don't you know it too?"

"Haha—you little brat." Yuanzhi Tianwang was taken aback, then pointed at Jinghe and burst out laughing.

joke.

What do the legendary "reimbursement person" lack? As the "reimbursement king," how could he not know?
When an old fox looks at a young fox, it's like looking in a mirror.

But converting it entirely into cash is also impossible.

After all, there's no limit to how much cash can be; how much of a reward is enough?

but.

Previously, Yuanzhi Tianwang did not know what Jinghe needed, but after chatting for a while, he finally figured it out.

"Your island must be lacking quite a lot, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jing He's eyes lit up slightly.

All beginnings are hard.

The most difficult part of building the island is right now.

They're basically just putting money in the hole; only once the island is fully developed can they provide long-term support to Jinghe.

If the league could "voluntarily" shoulder a large portion of the costs, that would be ideal.

after all.

With the current strength of his Pokémon, the League definitely can't provide much in terms of materials and items that can bring them significant benefits.

At most, it would just mean letting Jinghe's Pokémon eat "evolution stones" like candy.

But how much would that consume?
And the gains certainly won't be significant.

If it's applied to a small island.
What Jinghe can't do, such as establishing a "simulated ecological zone," the alliance might be able to help.

If you had to pay for this yourself, it would cost a fortune.

There are also things like the hot spring that Gengar wants, and the rocky mountain that Tyranitar wants, etc.

"The old man understands me best."

Jinghe smiled and added some more tea to Yuanzhi Tianwang's teacup.

The coffee shop doesn't serve tea, so this tea is naturally made by our Gui Gui.

As for whether Genji Tenno can get used to it or not, he's already had a few sips, so drinking more won't hurt, since it's all precious tea powder made from the roots of vital energy.

Genji shook his head with a smile.

"By the way, how's the renovation going in Hoenn lately?"

after that.

The two had a brief discussion about the development and future direction of the Hoenn region.

However, it wasn't very in-depth.

After all, Genji doesn't handle this kind of matter, so he certainly doesn't know much about it; it's all Bonnie's responsibility.

As for Jinghe, he knew even less about these construction and development matters.

It turns out.

In each region, the presence of the Elite Four—Bonnie, Gossou, Cranberry, and Doraemon—is still very necessary.

Genji sat in the coffee shop for about an hour, chatted with Jinghe for a while, and then left.

Although most of the top leaders of Team Magma and Team Aqua in the Hoenn region were wiped out by the Ancient Gods, Team Magma and Team Aqua couldn't cause much trouble.

But minor issues continued to arise.

He didn't want to sit in the Hoenn Alliance headquarters all day like Bonnie, so he had to run around handling various matters, big and small.

Fortunately, this is something that Genji is happy to do; he likes to travel around.

and so.

He only said one last thing to Jinghe—

"If we can get in touch with Groudon and Kyogre, we can try to appease them and find out their location."

Then he left.

The ancient Hoenn twins are ultimately a hidden danger. If we can determine their location of slumber or their active area, the Alliance can send people to isolate them and reduce the possibility of conflict.

Not long after Genji left, Mewtwo, with a cold face and wearing a large black robe, walked in carrying a vegetable basket and several bags.

"came back?"

Noticing Mewtwo, Jinghe smiled slightly and said.

Mewtwo paused, but didn't speak; it simply nodded slightly.

"Rotom and the servants are preparing in the kitchen."

Seeing Mewtwo's "I'm suffering, I need to calm down" expression, Jinghe couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Mewtwo glanced at him, but remained silent and walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as Mewtwo went inside, three heads immediately popped out of the doorway.

At the very top is Darkrai, the chubby one in the middle is Gengar, and the sneaky-looking one at the bottom is undoubtedly Marshadow.

Considering that there might be unexpected situations when Chaomeng goes grocery shopping, Jinghe still arranged for these three guys to "look after" him.

However, judging from the current situation...
These three probably didn't get much done; they must have suggested a lot of ingredients that Mewtwo liked.

Jinghe saw in Mewtwo's shopping basket that Gengar liked lamb chops, Darkrai liked beef, and Marshadow liked curry.

“A miscalculation, a miscalculation,” Jing He shook his head.

But there is nothing we can do.

Who made these three guys the best at "hiding"?

Fortunately, there was no danger.

This can be considered part of the human plan to make Mewtwo a part of the human project.

at least
Mewtwo is much more reliable than Gengar when it comes to grocery shopping.

If he dares to send Gengar to buy groceries, Gengar will surely bring him back a sheep that can even generate electricity.

"Hey, Teacher Jinghe, what's for dinner tonight?"

Not long after Mewtwo returned, Big Leaf, covered in sweat, also came back.

Judging from this, they probably spent a while at the Battle Park in Rustboro City, or maybe they went to the free training ground at the Pokémon Center.

Jinghe rolled her eyes at Da Ye in an annoyed manner.

He rarely went to freeload meals, so he was truly "taught a lesson" by Da Ye.

I've seen people freeload, but I've never seen someone deliberately freeload.

"Aren't you going back to Sinnoh yet?" Jinghe asked.

Da Ye tilted his head back and scratched the back of his head.

"Hey, it's fine to go back to Sinnoh. The people here are so nice, they're so friendly, and they love battling. I'm not planning to go back yet. I'll stay a few more days."

He chuckled after saying that, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Now, Daye has made a name for itself.

He single-handedly held off Palkia, and when some of the more powerful trainers in Corsair City learned that it was him, they lined up to challenge him.

Big Leaf really had a blast fighting.

Looking at him, Jing He was speechless.

Look, how could Wusong not be tired, given this situation?
It would be strange if I wasn't tired.

Suddenly, Jinghe's eyes lit up, and she flashed a smile just like Gengar's.

"Alright."

He finished the last bit of coffee in his cup in one gulp. "I have something to do tomorrow and I need your help."

Da Ye became unusually wary, a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and cautiously asked:
"what's up?"

"It's nothing serious." Jing He waved his hand, his smile becoming increasingly strange.

It would be a waste not to use such an energetic person as a beast of burden.

The island is about to be developed.

Sending Daye to the island would allow one person to do the work of four or five, and they wouldn't even call it "training." Wouldn't that be great?

Cengfan?

Just freeload.

Anyway, it's all about doing work.

You might make a profit, but we definitely won't lose out.

Ideally, we should get everything done before the summer vacation ends, then everything will be fine.

Gradually, Jinghe's life seemed to return to normal, and he devoted himself to daily training and island reclamation.

I sleep until 8 o'clock in the morning and then get up on time.

Morning run, preparing breakfast, playing Pokémon, basic training—before I knew it, it was noon.

After lunch, we took a one-hour break before heading to the island to explore and conduct some "advanced" training.

Anyway, at this point, there was almost nothing left on the island except for soil and grass.

As for the island's foundation, due to Jinghe's request, it had long been compacted by Groudon to be exceptionally solid, so as long as it wasn't left to roam freely, it wouldn't cause much damage.

This so-called "advanced" training is actually quite simple.

Together with Rotom, they developed daily, weekly, and periodic trainer plans, with Ghost leading the team. The little guys were quite self-disciplined, showing signs of starting to compete fiercely.

As for Jinghe himself.

Read books to enrich your knowledge, ensure your energy supply, provide some guidance on specific training methods, and that's about it.

After the Desert City incident, it has finally had a real recovery period.

In the evening, we returned with everyone and began preparing dinner, buying groceries, opening the shop, and entertaining guests. Chao Meng gradually began to learn about and handle all these matters.

After dinner, he would first call Cynthia, and then play with his Pokémon.

For example.

Let's play Pokémon Poker together.

But often, this leads to some funny situations, both big and small.

Like Gengar "accidentally" dropping the card under its butt, Tyranitar "accidentally" eating the card, Ninetales "accidentally" freezing the card to dust, and Blademaster "accidentally" burning the card.
The list goes on and on.

Fortunately, no matter what happens, everyone always ends up laughing together after all the bickering and shoving.

For example, the games that everyone played together, such as "Rayquaza Flying Chess", "Pokémon Mahjong", and "Gengar the Rich", were all like that.

In short.

What we played wasn't important; what mattered was that everyone had a good time.

After playing around.

After cleaning up the mess from dinner, everyone either snuggles together to watch a movie, takes a bath together, or goes shopping, takes a walk, or goes for a stroll, etc.

The final "activity" before bedtime remains unchanged—a storytelling session by Teacher Jinghe.

This is even more addictive than watching TV series or movies.

Before going to sleep, everyone, including Chao Meng, would gather around Jing He's bedside or on his bed, listening to him tell stories one by one.

Jinghe remembered some of the things, but not others, so he made them up.

Then, if he forgets the previous paragraph in the next paragraph, the little one will always point it out to him.

Anyway.

Aside from those stories that Jinghe remembered clearly, most of the stories ended up becoming unrecognizable because the Pokémon kept repeating them.

It's more like everyone brainstorming and coming up with one story after another.

I've compiled some stories that only those who understand them can truly comprehend, stories that belong to Jinghe and these things.

Jinghe and the little ones didn't mind at all; instead, they had Rotom record all of this.

When she has some free time, or when she has accumulated enough, Jinghe plans to compile all these stories into a book.

It doesn't need a catchy name; it's simply called "Our Story."

Just an ordinary day like this.

It usually happens after Gengar turns off the lights.
That's when it's finally over.
