Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 7 Consultation
"Daigo-san?"

Upon seeing who pushed open the door and entered, Jing He showed a hint of surprise, but quickly recovered.

Daigo Zubuchi is not only the young master of Devon Corporation and the future champion of the Hoenn League, but also a passionate rock enthusiast.

His greatest interest is exploring, understanding, and collecting all kinds of stones.

Given that Dr. Solans is a doctor specializing in meteorites, rocks, and archaeology, and also lives in Kanaz City, it seems inevitable that he would have a connection with Daigo.

"I never expected that Professor Jinghe's office would be here." Daigo said, surprised but still polite.

Jinghe smiled and turned her gaze to the sign outside the door that read "Pokémon Psychological Counseling Room".

Following his gaze, Daigo suddenly realized something.

However, he hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit and inquired:
"Professor Jinghe, have you seen Dr. Solans? He told me yesterday that I could visit his office after the new student registration, but I've been waiting for an hour and he still hasn't shown up."

Next to the consultation room is Dr. Solans's office.

"I haven't seen him for a day either."

Jing He leaned against the desk, gently rubbed her chin a couple of times, and said truthfully.

"one day"

Daigo looked surprised.

“In fact,” Jing He walked to the coffee machine, skillfully took out an electronic scale, and while scooping out coffee beans to weigh them, she seemed to remember something and turned to ask, “Want some?”

Daigo was taken aback, and almost subconsciously nodded.

Seeing this, Jing He nodded slightly, "How many shots?"

It was only then that Daigo realized what was happening.

However, since he had already agreed, he didn't hesitate. "Two, thank you, teacher."

Jing He smiled slightly.

"It seems we have similar tastes."

His practiced movements were methodical and orderly before he continued:

"In fact, today's freshman reception was originally Solans's job, but because no one else could be found, I was pulled in to fill in."

"so."

Amidst the gurgling sound of the coffee machine, he spoke calmly:

"Solans has been missing for a day."

Upon hearing this, Daigo frowned.

"The doctor is a man of his word."

"Perhaps you should give him a call."

Jinghe handed him a cup of coffee.

Daigo quickly took it with both hands, said "thank you" and gave a wry smile, "I already called, but his phone is still in the office."

"口桀"

From the ceiling, Gastly suddenly realized.

It turns out the sound it heard earlier came from next door; it had thought it was the computer.

"It seems that Solans has run into trouble."

Jinghe glanced at the ceiling without making a sound, and had some guesses about why Gastly had damaged the computer.

However, now was clearly not the time to focus on these things. He sat down slowly in the chair with a serious expression.

In his mind, Dr. Solans seemed to be involved in some things in the future.

But it shouldn't be at this time.
"Something happened?" Daigo's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Teacher Jinghe, should we call the police?"

"Call the police?"

Jing He shook his head. "Solans is just temporarily missing. This isn't the first or second time he's suddenly disappeared. Maybe he's made some new discovery and gone to dig for stones."

"Too."

Daigo sighed helplessly.

At Jinghe's prompting, he sat down opposite the desk.

"Don't worry, Solans is a grown man, he won't be in any danger. The academy teachers know he's missing, and they're probably already looking for him," Jing He reassured him.

This sentence made Daigo's eyes light up.

Although we can't call the police, it doesn't mean we can't send someone to look for them.

After apologizing to Jing He, he took out his Pokémon phone and dialed a number.

The call was connected soon.

Daigo's expression changed the moment the call connected, transforming from a gentle, humble, and polite student into a young master of a large company who already exuded a certain aura.

"I am Daigo. Send someone to find Dr. Solans for me."

Observing Daigo's changing expression, Jinghe revealed a thoughtful look.

pat.

After swiftly hanging up the phone, Daigo noticed Jinghe's gaze, smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and apologized again:
"Sorry, teacher."

'Daigo...could he have a split personality?'

As Jing He waved his hand, he secretly grumbled to himself.

For a moment, the consultation room fell silent.

Jinghe took a sip of coffee, picked up a paper and started reading it, while Daiwu just silently drank his coffee, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the paper.

After a while, perhaps because he felt the atmosphere was a little awkward, or perhaps because he wanted to find a topic to talk about, Daigo broke the silence by speaking.

"Mr. Jinghe, could you please take a look at my Pokémon? It seems a bit out of sorts lately."

"Oh?" Jing He stopped what she was doing, raised her head slightly, and said, "Did you bring it?"

"Bring it."

"Let me see."

Without hesitation, Daigo took a luxurious black and gold ball from his waist.

With a flash of red light, a Pokémon appeared in the consultation room.

Its entire body is grayish-white with a shiny metallic sheen. Its body is disc-shaped, with a pair of arms covered in huge iron claws. Its eyes are red, and it has a silver spike on its cheek and back.

The second stage of pseudo-legendary Pokémon in the Hoenn region: Metallica!
Moreover, it's a monster with an unusual metallic color!
Clearly, it will become Steven's signature Pokémon, Shiny Metagross!
"A strange metallic monster... that's really rare," Jing He couldn't help but exclaim.

Hearing Jing He's exclamation, the metal monster stiffened slightly, a scene that Jing He also witnessed.

However, he didn't say anything, only that:

"Tell me about its situation."

Daigo hesitated for a moment, then said:
"I don't know why, but I feel like MetalGreymon has been a bit out of sorts lately, a little absent-minded. But both Nurse Joy at the Pokémon Center and our equipment show that MetalGreymon is perfectly healthy and has no problems. So I think..."

"Ku—"

MetalGhost approached Daigo, earning a reassuring smile in return, and Daigo naturally placed his hand on its head.

MetalGreymon still acted very affectionately towards Daigo.

Why can't I see any information about the Metal Monster?

At this moment, however, Jing He felt a sense of doubt.

He could see Gastly's Pokédex and information just now, but he can't see Steven's Metal Pokédex.

Is it because MetalGreymon isn't my Pokémon? Or is it...?

"Could you demonstrate one of your moves for me?" Jing He asked.

Daigo nodded and said to MetalGreymon, "MetalGreymon, Psychic."

"Ku!"

Upon hearing this, the metal monster immediately sprang into action. A pale blue halo appeared in its eye sockets, and the coffee cup on the desk slowly floated up, enveloped in a ball of blue light.

As the metal monster used its superpowers, lines of text slowly appeared before Jing He's eyes.

Metal Monster

[Type: Steel, Psychic]

[Characteristics: Eternally Pure Body]

[Mastered Techniques: Telekinesis, Metal Claw, Electromagnetic Levitation, Slam, Chase Strike, Bullet Punch, Miracle Eye, Mind Hammer, Demon Mask, Psychic Power, Iron Wall, Lightning Punch, Grinding Claw, Freezing Punch, Invisibility Rock, Mount Tai Press]

[Mood: Calm, Disappointed (Perhaps it should have been more confident)]

[Status: Excellent (Excellent training has resulted in its excellent condition; perhaps it's time to find it a worthy opponent)]

[Friendliness: 0 (It doesn't know you)]

'So, it's not because MetalGreymon isn't my Pokémon, but because this ability can only see the Pokédex entries of Pokémon that are currently using a move?'

Looking at the Metal Monster's illustration, Jing He seemed to be deep in thought.

Lost?

Lack of self-confidence?
He quickly noticed the strangeness of the metal monster, and his gaze fell upon it once again.

How could a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, especially a shiny pseudo-legendary Pokémon, lack confidence?

"Ku"

Sensing Jing He's gaze, the metal monster almost instinctively avoided looking at her.

Considering his previous actions and reactions, Jing He smiled slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

"Teacher?" Daigo called out tentatively, noticing his expression.

Jing He withdrew her gaze, took out a folder and a pen, and asked:
"Your family probably has more than one metal monster, right? Or more accurately, maybe... a whole group? Was your metal monster originally one of them?"

Daigo paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Uh, yes, although there aren't many, it can still be considered a group. MetalGreymon was indeed one of them."

"where?"

"The mines outside the city."

"Did you bring the metal monster back recently?"

Three days ago.

"."

As they exchanged questions and answers, Jinghe's pen scratched across the paper. Seeing his earnest and busy demeanor, Daiwu's expression turned serious.

Does Metal Monster really have psychological problems?

Unable to suppress his curiosity and worry, he couldn't help but look at the folder.

Daigo's expression froze when he saw what was written on the paper.

Because Jinghe actually drew a metal monster on the paper with a very serious expression!
We are at the crossroads of what can be called a fork in the road.

And cough, a little
"Does it look like him?" Noticing Daigo's gaze, Jinghe asked calmly, looking up.

"A bit...abstract." Daigo tried his best to control his expression.

Jing He laughed out loud, "Abstract? You're too kind."

rustling --

His pen finally left a line of words on the paper.

Being different from others due to their color can lead to early-stage mild autism.

Ok?
Autism?
This was something Daigo hadn't anticipated.

But upon closer reflection, he realized there might actually be some truth to it.

Apart from him, almost no one else could get close to the Metal Monster, and when he captured the little guy who was just a Dumbbell at the time, he didn't seem to be well-liked among the Dumbbells.

This is actually a common problem for many shiny Pokémon.

In other words, the group of gamers from Jinghe's previous life who pursued shiny Pokémon would actually be pursuing shiny Pokémon. In fact, for trainers and Pokémon in this world, shiny Pokémon are not entirely a good thing.

Different colors represent outliers, and outliers will always receive different treatment, even if it's just strange looks.

If not addressed in time, it may eventually lead to a mental illness.

Drip!

Just as Daigo was about to ask what to do next, his Pokémon phone suddenly rang.

After the call connected, Daigo's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said to Jinghe, "Teacher Jinghe, Dr. Solans has been found!"

"So fast?" Jing He was somewhat surprised. "It seems you mobilized quite a few people."

"No." Daigo shook his head, his expression unchanged. "I just bought a few detective agencies."

Jing He: "."

Very good, that's great.
