Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 696 Alola Pokémon School (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
"Genga?"

Black hole?

Gengar, with a chicken leg in its mouth, suddenly raised its head.

Black holes? I'm very familiar with them!

Jinghe snatched the chicken leg from Gengar's mouth and then pressed it back into the bowl.

"It's not the black hole you're thinking of."

The "black hole" that Nurse Joy mentioned refers to the Ultra Hole, which is the passage connecting the Pokémon world and the Ultra World.

This mainly comes down to the Pokémon Sun and Moon storyline, which involves the poorly designed multiverse, other dimensions, and alien phenomena.

Rather than being a story about the Pokémon world, it's more accurate to say that it borrows some settings from other anime and TV series.

"Does Teacher Jinghe know what a black hole is?" Miss Joey couldn't help but ask.

Even as Miss Joy, she knew almost nothing about the Ultimate Hole.

After all, even within the international police force, this is classified information that only high-ranking officials would know.

So Jing He smiled and didn't delve too deeply into what a black hole was, but instead asked:
"I've heard that every island in the Alola region has a guardian spirit? With the appearance of this black hole, has the guardian spirit of Melemele Island appeared?"

"of course not."

Miss Joy spoke up instinctively, then realized her tone might have been a bit off, and quickly added:

"What I mean is, although the appearance of the black hole injured many trainers' and tourists' Pokémon, fortunately the injuries were not serious, and they were quickly 'controlled' by Officer Jenny who arrived later, so there was no need for the 'Guardian Angel' to take action."

"The guardian deity of Melemele Island seems to be Tapu Koko?"

“Hmm!” Miss Joy nodded. “It seems that Professor Jinghe is also very knowledgeable about the culture of the Alola region.”

"Just a little bit, just a little bit. When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

In fact, the four guardian deities of the Alola region are also intricately connected with Ultra Hole, Ultra Space, and Ultra Beasts.

These are likely the four earliest Pokémon to originate in the Alola region, representing the oldest traditions and totems.

Modern researchers have discovered that Z-Moves, which originated in the Alola region, seem to have a significant connection with the guardian deities of these islands.

More accurately, it is a special aura that envelops the Alola region, and this aura is under the control of the island guardians.

The main proponent of this type of theory is Dr. Kukui.

Therefore, many people consider the island guardians to be the origin of Z-Moves.

However, Jinghe knew that the special aura that enveloped the four islands actually originated from the first powerful being from another dimension, Necrozma, who was known as the "Radiant God"!
The island guardians were merely the first Pokémon, as "natives," to come into contact with the "glowing god" Necrozma, and from Necrozma they gained a certain ability to control the aura.

The so-called "Z-Crystal," "Z-Move," or "Z-Energy" is called "Ultimate Power," and this "Ultimate Power" actually originated from Necrozma.

In this respect, the "Max Power" of the Galar region is actually the same as the "Ultra Power" of the Alola region and the "Tyrannosaurus Power" of the Padia region.

The only difference is that "Ultimate Power" originates from Necrozma, "Max Power" originates from Eternatus, and "Tyrannosaurus Power" originates from "Crystal Turtle" Taleborg.

If we trace the origins of "Ultimate Power" further, its essence is actually the source of power of "Radiant God" Necrozma—light!

For example, the two most famous deities in the Alola region, Solgaleo, the sun god, and Lunayara, the moon goddess, actually each embodied most of the "light" scattered by Necrozma.

This setting, well, it's actually quite familiar.

In particular, in the anime's storyline, at the very end, Ash and his friends gathered all the "light" of the Alola region, restoring Necrozma to its full potential and sanity, making it "Radiant God" once again and dispelling the darkness.

The light, alien beasts, and ultimate defense team make you think you're watching Ultraman.

can only say.

Even in the Pokémon world, you can always believe in the light.

In fact, Teacher Jinghe has always been a sincere "believer of light".

There's only one way to help Necrozma—cook Ash into soup!
"However, if Teacher Jinghe had been there at the time, it probably wouldn't have had such a big impact." Miss Joey's face was full of admiration and trust.

The entire Joey family pays close attention to Teacher Jinghe.

"Haha." Jing He laughed twice, not losing his composure.

All he wants right now is to get back the "Fairy Tablet"; he'll worry about other things later.

It's not that it can't be done, it's just too time-consuming. He has to pave the way for the championship first, and then I can openly write the approval and approve it.

Every day the island's development is delayed, his wallet becomes drier.

Miss Joey took a bite of the coconut chicken, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"This is... coconut water?" she asked, looking surprised.

"Yes."

"Chicken stewed in coconut water? I didn't know there was such a way to cook it." Miss Joey was greatly shocked.

It must be said that the food in the Pokémon world is not bad, and the level of development of food is not low. However, it is ultimately a world centered around Pokémon, so the "development" of food is definitely not as impressive as that of the rabbit family.

"Try this one too, coconut jelly."

"Oh my god!"

"Genga!!"

My chicken leg!

The next day.

Mela Mela Island, Hoa Lo City.

"The sun is shining brightly, Geng Sang!"

I hopped on my bicycle and leisurely left the Pokémon Center, heading out of the city and into the suburbs.

The Alola region truly lives up to its reputation as the least developed region in the Pokémon world, with many natural environments remarkably well-preserved.

As soon as we left Hauor City, we saw a lot of wild Pokémon.

A stern-faced "Sichuanese" man standing guard with his hands behind his back; swarms of adorable flye dancing around the flowers; and a rock dog barking incessantly at Jing He, a stranger.
It was truly a vibrant and lively scene.

Kukui Institute.

Tuk Tuk——

Wearing green goggles and a white robe, revealing his muscular, bronze skin, Kukui was eating instant noodles. Upon hearing the knock on the door, he immediately put down his chopsticks and said casually:
"coming!"

Upon opening the door, Dr. Kukui paused for a moment, then exclaimed with delight:
"Teacher Jinghe!"

"Dr. Kukui, Alola!" Jing He appeared at the door with a big smile.

The Alora region is named after Hawaii, and the word "Alora" also references the Hawaiian word "Aloha," which means "hello," "goodbye," or "I love you," and also carries meanings such as "hope," "love," "peace," and "happiness."

"Alola" is the most authentic way to greet someone in the Alola region, somewhat like "Have you eaten?"

In short, it's very versatile.

"Alora!"

Dr. Kukui immediately gave Jinghe a big hug.

The two were old acquaintances, having first met at the Razor Pokémon Academy. They had kept in touch ever since, and before Jinghe came to the Alola region, the first person she contacted was Professor Kukui.

"What would you like to drink? Coffee? Pineapple juice?"

Kukui stepped aside to let Jinghe in, and greeted her at the same time.

"Pineapple juice, please," Jing He said.

Pineapple juice is one of the signature drinks of the Alola region, even more famous than coconut water.

"Genga~!"

Upon hearing that there was a drink available, Gengar immediately emerged from its shadow and raised its hand to indicate that it wanted one too.

"it is good!"

Kukui smiled and poured two glasses of juice, placing them on the coffee table.

"Jinghe, you've become incredibly popular lately. It's no exaggeration to say that everyone knows you. The kids at school are constantly asking you to come and teach them."

Jinghe didn't stand on ceremony and took a sip. It was sweet and sour with a slight coolness, and tasted quite good.

He said, "Alright, alright, I got it, I'll go, okay?"

"Really?" Dr. Kukui looked surprised and delighted.

Jing He looked helpless. "Professor Kukui, Professor Oak, and the famous Pokémon morphology professor, Professor Oak himself, invited me. I couldn't refuse."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Kukui laughed heartily.

"That's wonderful! I think the children will be very happy!"

"Actually, I'm a little curious why your Pokémon school doesn't have a summer break?" Jinghe asked.

Dr. Kukui sat down on the sofa opposite Jinghe.

"Because our school's class schedule is more flexible, we don't have classes all day long. We only have three or four hours a day. Studying for seven or eight hours straight would be too much of a burden, so we chose to extend the semester."

It turned out to be the case.

"Moreover, some students also need to help their families, so they are more willing to accept this teaching method."

From this perspective, the Alola Pokémon School is quite free and suitable for the residents of the Alola region, except that there are fewer summer and winter vacations.

"What's suitable is the best," Jing He said.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect his winter or summer vacations, it's fine.

Dr. Kukui nodded, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"The Alola region is still too underdeveloped."

Having traveled extensively and witnessed the vast array of regions and alliances, Dr. Kukui was deeply impressed by the backwardness of the Alola region.

"Jinghe, to be honest, I actually want to establish a new Alola League in the Alola region, hoping to drive the development of the Alola region."

As a native Alola resident, Dr. Kukui has the strength, ability, and above all, a strong sense of responsibility. His greatest goal, or rather his dream, is to establish the Alola League so that the Alola region can better communicate and interact with other regions.

Just as Leon hoped to promote the Galar region, Dr. Kukui also hoped to make more people aware of the existence of the Alola region.

"The Alola League?"

Jing He was not surprised by Dr. Kukui's ideals; in fact, he quite agreed with Kukui's ideas.

While it's not to the point where being backward means being vulnerable to attack, the relatively backward system in the Alola region has indeed made it a paradise for many Pokémon hunters.

"I support your idea of ​​forming an alliance and establishing new rules, which will not only better protect the Alola region but also enhance the strength of Pokémon trainers in the Alola region."

Moreover, if you really want to calculate it, the top trainers in the Alola region are actually quite good.

The four island kings, though perhaps somewhat different, can still be roughly compared to the four kings of other regions, especially the Carlos region.

In addition, Kukui himself is quite strong.

At his peak, he challenged the Kanto Alliance. After defeating three of the Four Heavenly Kings, he was defeated by the peak-level Wataru. It's fair to say that he possessed strength comparable to a champion.

With the help of Tapu Koko, the island's guardian deity, he could rival some of the most powerful champions.

Add to that Kukui's close friend Marien, the young genius Acerola, Kashiri, and Hau, and it doesn't seem like they'd be much worse than the Carlos League.

Tell the truth.

In other words, Kukui chose the most difficult Kanto Alliance. If he had chosen the "lazy" Carlos Alliance, he might have succeeded in the challenge.

Therefore, Dr. Kukui's peak strength, excluding Tapu Koko, could barely be considered that of an ordinary champion, or a peak Elite Four member, or more like something in between.

But this is already the strongest force in the Alola region.

The overall strength of Pokémon trainers in the Alola region is somewhat weaker compared to those in other regions.

Dr. Kukui is currently at a level roughly equivalent to the Elite Four or higher, perhaps still a little short of his peak.

Don't forget, he's not just a trainer, he's also a Pokémon professor!

Currently, the only known champion and professor combination is Professor Oak. Even Professor Blatano falls short, which shows how talented Kukui is.

If he had focused on becoming a trainer, his potential might not have been limited to that of an average champion.

"Is it?"

Dr. Kukui was very excited to receive Jinghe's approval.

"I have already gained the approval of two island kings. Once I gain the affirmation of two more island kings, I am ready to challenge the Kanto Alliance and truly understand how big the gap is between Alola and Kanto."

Jinghe believes that the biggest obstacle to Dr. Kukui's creation of the Alola League will not be the Island King, but rather the Aether Foundation!
The Ether Foundation is the largest "leader" in the Alola region, reportedly controlling 50 percent of the region's wealth.

Their influence over the entire Alora region is equivalent to that of the Marocmon Group of Loz on the Galar region.

Without the support of the Ether Foundation, Dr. Kukui's establishment of the Alola League will likely face numerous difficulties.

However, he didn't criticize Kukui, and Kukui probably understood that as well. He simply smiled and said:

"Why not choose the Carlos Alliance?"

Dr. Kukui looked very confident.

"It is said that the Kanto Alliance is the strongest alliance. If we are going to challenge it, we should definitely challenge the strongest one so that we can truly understand where the gap lies."

The strongest league?

Jing He seemed to be deep in thought, and said softly:
"It's hard to say what will happen after a while."

"What?" Dr. Kukui didn't hear him clearly.

"No." Jing He smiled and shook her head.

He will soon be challenging the path to the Hoenn League championship. If he succeeds, there will be Steven and Wallace in the future.

If everyone is at their peak.

Those are at least three players who are comparable to champions!
With the Kanto League championship still undecided, it's hard to say whether the Kanto League or the Hoenn League is stronger.

of course.

If the red and green generation grows up in the future, then it will be a different story.

“I wanted to say,” Jing He paused, “Dr. Kukui, do you have a way to let me meet Tapu Koko, the island guardian deity of Melemele Island?”

“Tap Koko? You want to see it?” Dr. Kukui was taken aback.

"Yes. There are some things I'd like to ask Tapu Koko."

"Well"

Dr. Kukui nodded thoughtfully.

"You don't know, Tapu Koko is actually a guardian spirit, but it doesn't appear often, and there are very few people who have seen it."

"but."

After a moment's thought, he said again:
"Let me think of something, it should be possible." "Then I'll leave it to you."

With Ash not around, Professor Kukui is undoubtedly the best choice if you want to see the island's guardian spirit.

Jinghe really didn't want to use violent means to "invite" the island's guardian spirit out, since that method wouldn't harm Jinghe, but it would harm people and the heavens.

"Ah."

The two chatted for a while.

“By the way, Jinghe, shall I take you to school? Let’s get to know them first, especially those little ones who have been looking forward to seeing you for so long,” Kukui suggested.

"Alright."

So, Jinghe got into Kukui's jeep and headed to the Pokémon School located in the suburbs of Hauerle City.

Compared to the towering buildings of the Rustboro Pokémon Academy, the advanced technology of the Blueberry Academy, and the long history of the Orange Academy, the Alola Pokémon School appears much more modest.

It consists of only one teaching building, one teachers' office, one canteen, and one playground.

A small river runs through the campus, and the surrounding greenery is quite nice.

When Jinghe and Professor Kukui arrived, several students were playing with their Pokémon on the playground, which was filled with sunshine and laughter.

Although the teaching facilities are somewhat basic, it's clear that the students are still very happy.

Dr. Kukui led Jinghe to see the principal, introducing them as he did so.

"The school's current enrollment situation is not ideal, with only four to six students per grade. Among them, the older students are mostly self-studying after completing the basic courses, and the school is mainly responsible for teaching the basic content to the younger students."

Four to six people per grade?

"Where are the teachers?" Jing He asked.

"Well, it's mainly Principal Cheng Ye and me," Dr. Kukui said with a slight cough, sounding a little embarrassed.

Jing He didn't seem to think anything of it; on the contrary, she quite agreed and said:
"The teaching staff is truly outstanding."

This is not sarcasm, but a heartfelt sentiment.

There are only two teachers in total.

Let's take a look at the identities of these two teachers.

One is Professor Oak, a leading authority in Pokémon research and his cousin, Professor Oak, who is also a professor of morphology in the Pokémon region!
The other is a professor of Pokémon moves, and also a top trainer whose strength is comparable to that of the current Elite Four and will be comparable to that of the Champion in the future!

Although the number of students is small, the average teaching staff is so outstanding that no one in the entire Pokémon world can match it.

As for student resources
Just take Ash's class as an example.

Including Ash and Lillie, who is Professor Kukui's assistant, the other four are all potential team leaders!

And the captain is not necessarily the limit for these people.

The Alola region's captain, after the establishment of the Alola League, is, in some ways, equivalent to a Gym Leader from another region.

In addition, Ash became the champion, and Lillie is the heiress of the Aether Foundation.
In a single classroom of a school, there will simultaneously be a champion, four gym leaders or even more, and a young lady who controls half of the wealth foundation in the Alola region.

This is no ordinary Pokémon school; it's an elite academy in the Alola region!
A small but highly qualified group of teachers and students.

If we push the timeline forward another ten or twenty years, this school will probably become the "Whampoa Military Academy" of the Alola region, forming the most solid foundation of the Alola League in the future!
This level of prestige is almost higher than that of the Razorville Pokémon Academy.

"Alora~"

"Alora!"

Along the way, I heard many greetings.

Upon entering the campus, Dr. Kukui saw a girl in a white dress with long, flowing golden hair and a wide-brimmed white sun hat, and immediately waved to her.

After a moment of surprise, he immediately jogged over.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, whether from jogging or from feeling embarrassed to see the stranger next to Dr. Kukui, it was hard to tell.

The girl, holding her hands tightly, appeared very shy.

Dr. Kukui introduced with a smile:
"This is the assistant I told you about, named Lillie. You must know this Lillie, the famous Teacher Jing He."

Beneath Lillie's large white sun hat, her light blue eyes quickly swept across Jing He's face, a hint of surprise barely concealed in them. She quickly lowered her head, saying shyly:
"Teacher Jinghe, I am Lillie."

"Hello, Lillie," Jing He greeted with a light smile.

This person is a key character in the storyline of Pokémon Sun and Moon.

As we all know, Serena belongs to Ash, while Lillie belongs to everyone (just kidding).

Well, Lillie is one of the main heroines of the anime Sun and Moon. She is very popular and is also a character whose growth and changes are very obvious, which makes her loved by many people.

Currently, Lillie is likely still in a phase of fear of Pokémon due to an Uber event she experienced in her childhood, and her relationship with her mother, Lusamine, the president of the Aether Foundation, is probably quite tense.

"哓GA!"

Gengar emerged from the shadows behind Jinghe, grinning mischievously as it greeted Lillie.

! !
Upon seeing Gengar, Lillie froze, her body trembling slightly, as if she couldn't speak.

Jinghe pressed Gengar's head back down, apologizing at the same time:
"Sorry, Gengar meant no harm, it's just being mischievous."

It took Lillie a while to recover.

Dr. Kukui sighed softly, and instead of immediately explaining anything, he instructed:
"Lillie, Ms. Jinghe will be teaching at our school for a while. You can work as her assistant during that time."

Although Lillie is terrified of Pokémon, she performs exceptionally well as a helper, thanks to her excellent upbringing.

"really?"

Lillie looked up instinctively, her eyes sparkling with surprise.

Realizing he had lost his composure, he quickly lowered his head again and whispered:

"Okay, okay, I understand."

"Then, Lillie, please take care of me from now on," Jing He said with a smile.

Having an assistant, especially one who is the heiress of the Ether Foundation, will undoubtedly make many things easier.

"Uh-huh!"

"By the way, is everyone here? Let Shui Lian and Mao come out. Their beloved teacher Jing He has finally arrived."

"Everyone, there are no classes this morning," Lillie explained quietly, then immediately added, "I'll go get them right now!"

After saying that, he immediately jogged away to call his friends.

“Let’s go, Jinghe. It seems they’re all out for the time being. Let’s go see Principal Chengye Damu first.”

The two arrived at the principal's office.

open the door.

I saw an elderly man wearing a floral shirt, sleeping and snoring on the table, with snot bubbles of varying sizes coming out of his nose.

Dr. Kukui approached helplessly and gently popped the snot bubble.

Cheng Ye Da Mu immediately jumped up from his chair.

"Haha! I'm Naruya Oki, the Naruya who's been hugged by the tree-pillow-like koala!"

As he spoke, Professor Oak's Alola form, Naruto Oak, immediately transformed into the shape of Komaru, and he did indeed resemble it quite well.

Jing He: "."

Kukui: "."

Upon seeing this, Gengar immediately sprang out again, rubbed its head vigorously, and transformed into a Komaru-like creature.

"Genga~"

Cheng Ye Da Mu was immediately "shocked", feeling that he had met his match. Just as he was about to cosplay again, Dr. Kukui quickly stopped him.

"Principal, Teacher Jinghe has arrived."

It was only then that Cheng Ye Da Mu, the man known as "the man with a thousand Pokémon faces," finally noticed Jing He's existence.

"Teacher Jinghe is finally here? That's great!"

Originally, Naruto Oki wanted to continue "showing off" his cosplay skills, but fortunately Dr. Kukui was there, and they quickly completed a simple introduction and made arrangements for the subsequent teaching.

After all, there weren't many classes or many students to begin with, so this arrangement was all about being spontaneous and flexible.

As long as Jinghe has time, as long as it's daytime, it can be carried out anytime!

Gengar, on the other hand, was both wary of Professor Oak in his "Alolan form" and curious about his cosplay abilities. As he left, he couldn't help but look back at Professor Oak several times.

Alola Pokémon School, Tauros Farm on campus.

A dark-skinned boy wearing red shorts is slowly descending on a majestic fire-breathing dragon.

After unloading bundles of hay from the fire-breathing dragon's back, use a pitchfork to carry the hay into the pasture while banging on the fence.

"Dinner is ready! Dinner is ready!"

"Moo~moo~"

Hearing the commotion, the Tauros immediately rushed over.

"Don't push! Don't push! Come one at a time, everyone will get to eat!" the boy shouted.

"Kachi!"

Just then, Lillie, wearing a sun hat, jogged over.

“Lillie?” Kachi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Lillie said breathlessly, "Teacher Jinghe is here. Dr. Kukui told us to gather on the playground."

"Teacher Jinghe?"

Kachi was taken aback, then his eyes seemed to blaze with fire. "Is that Teacher Jing He, who punched divine beasts, kicked phantom beasts, and shattered the Twin Dragons of Time and Space with a single punch?"

"Huh? I guess so."

Kachi immediately dropped the fork and flipped over to sit on the fire-breathing dragon's back.

"Charizard, let's go! Let's challenge Teacher Jinghe!"

Lillie shouted from below:

"Before going to the assembly point, go and call out 'Mamane' first."

"understood!"

Kachi's voice came from afar.

The fishing area is located by the sea next to the school.

Water Lily, with her short blue hair, sat on the rocks, silently gazing at the calm sea with an exceptionally focused expression.

"The seas are calm today, so let's not fish for Kyogre for now. Our target is Lugia!" Lana murmured to herself, her tone extremely firm.

"Water lily! Water lily!"

Lillie stood on the shore, hands on her knees, and shouted:
"Jinghe, Teacher Jinghe has come to school! Dr. Kukui wants us to assemble on the playground!"

"Teacher Jinghe?"

Upon hearing Lillie's words, Water Lily was taken aback. She immediately stood up, abandoning even the seahorse already hooked on the fishing line, and picked up the bucket.

Teacher Jinghe is someone who defeated Kyogre and rode Lugia!
She definitely wanted to ask Teacher Jinghe how she "conquered" these Pokémon.

Lillie hurriedly said:
"Let's go to the cafeteria first and call Mao along."

"Yes, Mao!"

Even Shui Lian, who is usually known for her calmness, couldn't help but show some excitement at this moment.

On the playground of the Pokémon School.

Jinghe and Dr. Kukui had already arrived here ahead of everyone else.

Dr. Kukui, who was deep in thought, suddenly said:

"Have it!"

"what?"

"I know how to get you to see Tapu Koko!"

Ok?
“Tapou is very curious, especially about battles and Pokémon it hasn’t seen before. The stronger the clash, the more likely it is to attract Tapu Koko,” Professor Kukui said.

fighting?

Jinghe gently rubbed her chin, starting to understand.

Is Dr. Kukui trying to fight me?
If it's to successfully meet Tapu Koko, then it's not impossible.

Noticing Jing He's gaze, Dr. Kukui realized he had misunderstood and immediately smiled:
"Not with me."

"At least, not with me for now."

He certainly wanted to fight Jing He, but for him right now, establishing the Alola League was the most important thing.

Therefore, he was able to suppress his fighting desire.

"That is."

"And my master, Mr. Hala, the king of Melemele Island!"

King of the Islands?

Dr. Kukui explained:

"Jinghe, you may not know this, but the island guardians and island kings have a much closer relationship, and the island kings also receive more attention from the guardians. So, if it's a battle with the island king..."

It's definitely more likely to attract Tapu Koko than to fight someone else.

Jing He mentally added to Dr. Kukui's words and fully understood his meaning.

"Will the Lord of Hala Island agree?"

"Will do!"

Professor Kukui seemed very certain about this, saying, "My master has always maintained the heart of a twenty-year-old when it comes to Pokémon battles!"

This brings us to the fact that the island kings and guardian deities of the various islands in the Alola region actually share many similarities in personality.

Despite his advanced age, Hala remains passionate about battles and possesses a curious mind about many new things. He was also the first island king to support Dr. Kukui in creating the Alola League.

After a moment's thought, Jing He nodded in agreement with Dr. Kukui's suggestion.

Once we can meet Tapu Koko, the other three island guardians will be much easier to deal with.
