Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 702 What a huge problem! (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
the next day.

Ula Ula Island.

This is the largest island in the Alola region. You can see two towering peaks in the distance, both covered with thick snow. In addition to the peaks, the island also has deserts, forests, and towns.

One of these two mountains is Mount Ranakira, the highest mountain in the Alora region.

This is also the location chosen by Dr. Kukui, which will become the future headquarters of the Alola League.

The other is Mount Hilclani, which houses the famous Hilclani Observatory, the only observatory in the Alola region. Its owner is Marin, the cousin of Jinghe's student Mamane and one of the future Alola Elite Four.

"Don't rush to take pictures, watch out for Rotom ahead, there's a Howling Whale!"

Several roaring whales, resembling small hills, leisurely swam past the waters in front of us.

Rotom immediately stopped taking pictures and focused on driving the speedboat.

In fact, in the Alola region, Wailord is also a very good "vehicle" at sea. There are special courses at Pokémon School to train people to ride Wailord.

"There's no chance today, but I can borrow one from Dr. Kukui next time I go out."

Taking a speedboat has its own fun, and Jinghe can also experience the feeling of surfing from behind, while riding a whale is a completely different experience.

"Approaching our destination, Loto!"

Although the Alola region consists of four islands, the distance between the islands is actually not far, and we soon arrived at a port on Ula'ula Island.

However, the port that Jinghe and his group arrived at this time was much more dilapidated than the port of Hao'ao City on Meile Meile Island.

Because what they arrived at was "Po Town Port".

"Switch the map to Ula Ula Island, Rotom."

After simply docking the speedboat at the port, Jinghe said.

"Understood, Loto! Current location: Soul Town!"

Po Town was once a relatively well-known upscale town on Ula Ula Island, mostly consisting of detached villas for wealthy people to live in.

But now Po Town is in a state of disrepair, and the towering walls that surround the entire town are covered with messy graffiti.

The reason why things turned out this way is because of a rogue organization in the Alola region, Team Skull!
Jinghe considers the Skull Team to be the only villainous organization that can rival the Shout Team in terms of sheer absurdity.

The term "rogue organization" best describes them; even calling them an "evil organization" would be an insult to Team Rocket.

Their leader is none other than Guzma, who has fought against Jinghe and is known as the "Immortal Emperor"!
It has a strong "funeral love family" vibe.

Guzma and Dr. Kukui were both students of Hala, the king of Melemele Island, but Guzma's strength was far inferior to Dr. Kukui's.

I'd guess he's a bit stronger than some gym leaders, but not quite as good as the Elite Four.

If the leader of an organization is this powerful, then the organization itself is obviously not very strong; it's just a bunch of "thugs."

Jinghe felt that Da Ye alone could easily wipe out this so-called Skull Team.

But the problem with thugs is that they may not be able to beat you, but they can definitely disgust you.

So what was once a peaceful town has now become the territory of the Skull Team.

"This is clearly the most children's anime season, with even the villainous organization being so 'weak and powerless,' yet there's this super-powerful legendary Pokémon crisis involving Necrozma. This is very illogical."

Jinghe mentally grumbled as she got off the speedboat.

However, as soon as Jing He disembarked, two members of the Skull Team, wearing white headscarves, black masks, and flamboyant outfits, walked over with an air of arrogance.

"Hey!" one of them said, twirling a Poké Ball as if showing off, "Let's stop here, 1000 League Coins!"

Clearly, these two men were here specifically to watch over this dilapidated port.

One thousand Alliance Coins?

Jing He was delighted.

He recalled that when he used to play games, he was charged money when he restored his Pokémon's status at the Pokémon Center in Po Town!
This was the first time he had ever paid at a Pokémon Center in all the Pokémon games he had ever played.

Seeing that Jing He didn't speak but instead laughed, another member of the Skull Team said irritably:

"What are you laughing at? If you have money, pay up; if you don't, get lost!"

"Pay up, pay up," Jing He said with a smile.

Dealing with thugs is a very troublesome thing.

You might be able to easily defeat them here, but Jinghe can guarantee that in no more than half an hour, after he leaves, those two will definitely be with a bunch of thugs, and then...
He painted his speedboat inside and out.

The first member of the Skull team to speak gave him a "you know what's good for you" look.

Then Jinghe stepped forward and gently patted his outstretched palm.

"Ten thousand Alliance Coins, keep the change."

After saying that, they passed each other, leaving a piece of seaweed in the man's hand.

But the two members of the Skull Team seemed oblivious, or perhaps they simply mistook the algae for 10,000 Alliance Coins.

He immediately forgot about Jing He and ran off happily.

"Genga~"

After they left, Gengar swayed out of the shadows, grinning with an evil smile.

"Hmm, you're much more like a villain than them." Jinghe patted Gengar lightly and chuckled as she walked towards Po Town.

Jinghe wasn't particularly interested in this dilapidated town overrun by the Skull Gang.

But no way.

Who knew that Mordan, the island king of Ula Ula Island, worked at the police station in this Po Town?

The streets of Po Town were littered with garbage, and the walls and dilapidated houses were covered with graffiti.

Everywhere you look, you see stray cats and dogs, as well as Meowths and even Palicoes that are unique to the Alola region, in their Alola form.

"Genga~"

Gengar's eyes lit up with excitement.

It was as if I had seen the perfect breeding ground for my "outlaw squad".

It felt particularly close to the cats and feline leaders in the Alola region.

His eyes darted around the whole way, as he plotted his own scheme.

Fortunately, Jing He didn't encounter any more members of the Skull Team on the way to the Po Town Police Station, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Da da--

Inside the dilapidated police station, a crisp "tap-tap" sound could be heard.

Push the door and enter.

Then I saw a middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing an old police station uniform and flip-flops, who looked to be in his forties and had a lazy expression. He was leaning against the counter, idly playing with his kendama.

"Mr. Merdan," Jing He greeted him with a smile.

This lazy middle-aged man is none other than the island king of Ula Ula Island, the former international police officer, and Lila and the handsome man's superior, Merdan.

Mo Dan seemed unsurprised by Jing He's appearance.

Leaning against the counter with one hand and playing with a kendama in the other, he slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at Jing He, and then gestured with his chin, saying:
"Here you go, the information you requested."

On the counter was a document—the handwriting was messy, the paper was wrinkled and even a little yellowed, which we'll call a file for now.

It was obvious that Lila had informed Merdan of Jinghe's visit beforehand.

"Thank you."

Jinghe didn't mind and simply picked up the document and flipped through it.

It must be admitted that Merdan's ability to become a Superintendent within the Interpol Police Service was quite remarkable.

Having lived in the Alola region for over a decade, he may seem lazy, but he has actually done quite a bit of research on the Ether Foundation.

The information provided by Billila, while not necessarily more detailed, does involve some details that others might overlook.

For example, Lusamine, the president of the Ether Foundation, has undergone some subtle changes in both her working style and principles over the past few years.

This was noticed by Merdan.

He speculated that it might be related to the disappearance of Rosamund's husband.

clatter--

Mo Dan paused in his sword-shaped jade pendant and waved at Jing He.

"That's enough, you should hurry up and leave."

"Huh?" Jing He was taken aback.

Merdan pursed his lips, walked to the recliner next to him, and said lazily:
"Based on what I've read online, wherever you go, nothing good ever comes of it."

Jing He: "."

"While I can't say it's your fault, you'll definitely cause trouble, and I hate trouble the most."

"Cough cough."

Such a "penetrating" summary made Jing He feel embarrassed.

Does he want to get into trouble?

It's clearly trouble that always comes to him!

Just as Jinghe was about to say something, she heard some noise outside.

Mo Dan immediately looked at Jing He with a blank expression, his eyes seeming to say, "Look."

Jinghe looked completely bewildered.

No, what does this have to do with me?
Reluctantly, Mordan got up, and while fiddling with the kendama, he opened the door and heard...
"Old man! Can't you control your cat? It's stolen all our food!"

"That's right, old man, don't think you're so great just because you're the king of the island! On Ula Ula Island, everything still depends on our 'Emperor'!"

"Old man, we're talking to you!"

Outside the door stood a group of thugs from the Skull Team.

On the lawn not far away, a group of gray-furred cats sat on the ground licking their paws, completely ignoring the clamoring skeleton team, leisurely watching the show.

Only after Merdan left did they stand up one by one, putting on an innocent and harmless appearance.

Then, while meowing softly, it moved closer to Merdan's feet.

This scene immediately enraged the members of the Skull Team.

If it weren't for Merdan protecting them, would these wild cats be so arrogant?
But as for Merdan, although they were shouting and speaking very rudely, they were also afraid.

He was just putting on a tough front because he believed he had Guzma backing him up, and he didn't want to embarrass Guzma, the "Emperor".

Mo Dan brandished his sword and looked at Jing He.

At this moment, Jing He was leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, looking like she was watching a show.

Noticing the gaze from Murdan, he grinned and raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "Look, who's caused this trouble?"

Merdan remained silent, scratching his head in frustration.

If it weren't for the fact that Po Town has the cheapest housing, he wouldn't want to live here. The Skull Team may not be powerful, but they are a troublesome group.

What he fears most is trouble.

He scratched his head again and said to Jing He, "If you help me solve this, I'll consider you to have passed the big test."

Jinghe pouted.

"I'm not participating in any island pilgrimages."

“Let me introduce you to the Guardian Deity,” Merdan added.

"Tapu Mouth Mouth has been arranged."

“I’ll tell you about Lila’s origins.”

"Fall, I have the permission to see these documents."

Merdan: "."

Why is this person so stubborn?

Jing He smiled and said, "I'm actually very curious about how Mr. Merdan usually handles 'trouble'."

The tone emphasized the word "trouble".

Mo Dan understood that this was Jing He's "answer" to his earlier question.

“I’ll tell you the location of the ‘Frozen Stone’,” Mordan said again after a brief silence.

Jinghe raised her eyebrows slightly.

Frozen stone is a naturally formed product of nature that functions similarly to "ice stone," but with some differences.

Some Pokémon, especially those that require an Ice Stone to evolve, have a chance to evolve without using an Ice Stone when they are near one.

For many Ice-type Pokémon, "Ice Stone" is quite tempting.

"Frozen Stone" can only be found in extremely cold regions, such as Mt. Coronet in Sinnoh and Mt. Ross in Unova.

There are also some on Mount Ranakira on Ula Ula Island.

This is why many competitive crabs evolve into competitive hairy crabs after climbing Mount Ranakira.

Jinghe possesses an Ice Ninetales, which can only be found in the Alola region, or even just on Mt. Lanakira. Mordan is certain that Jinghe will go there.

“It seems Mr. Merdan knows me quite well,” Jing He said.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that Jinghe would cause trouble.

Merdan chose to remain silent.

Jing He shrugged and said again, "Plus a Dark-type Z-Crystal."

Don't want it for nothing.

Merdan glared at him irritably and said, "Take care of these cats."

This is the task he assigned to make things difficult for Ash in the anime.

To be honest, no one but him could calm down the cats living in Po Town.

Otherwise, the Skull Team wouldn't have come knocking on our door.

Jinghe grinned.

"make a deal."

He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Old fox."

Merdan thought to himself: Little fox.

The skeletons standing nearby naturally couldn't understand Jing He and Mo Dan's conversation, but the two's disregard for them hurt the pride of these hooligans.

"hateful!"

"Go, Zubat!"

"Go, Arbok!"

"Let them suffer a bit, hypnotic tapir!"

"."

In an instant, the members of Team Skull were enraged and threw out Poké Balls.

Then a whole bunch of Pokémon, including Zubat, Ekans, Alolan Rattata, Alolan Rattata, Spellweaver, and Zangoose, were summoned.

Look at the quality of this Skull Team, how can it be considered a decent team?
Jinghe wanted to take back his earlier statement that Daye could easily defeat Team Skull. He felt that it was somewhat "insulting" to Daye. He figured that even a small team of Team Rocket's elites wouldn't be a problem.

"Tyranitar." Jing He threw out a Poké Ball.

If you send Snivy, I bet you'll get your hair pulled after the fight.

"Banji!"

Bangilas made a ferocious entrance, his stomping feet shaking the earth, his waving arms stirring up sandstorms, and the gloom seemed to blot out the sun.

Skull Team: "."

Team Skull's Pokémon: "."

Should we fight this Tyranitar?

"Go and call Boss Guzma!"

"Banji!!"

In no time at all, most of the Skull Team members' Pokémon were lying on the ground.

It wasn't Bangiras who did it; the sandstorm simply rendered them incapable of fighting.

“The sandstorm has become a ‘minor fish cleaner’,” Jing He said, rubbing his chin.

"Banji?"

As the sandstorm subsided, Bangiras looked at Jing He and scratched his head.

Do you still fight?
"Let's not fight yet," Jing He said.

"Banji".

Bangilas nodded and said "Oh," then sat down and took out a pile of ore, munching on it with gusto. Watching from behind, Mordan's eye twitched slightly, and he uttered, "Looks like you're not suited to using the Dark attribute."

Well, he even got the same evaluation of Ash from Modan.

Jing He shrugged, not caring at all.

But very quickly.

Surrounded by a group of Skull Team members, the imposing Guzma appeared at the entrance of the police station.

When he saw the mountain-like Tyranitar sitting on the ground, then saw Mordan playing with Kendama at the door, and Jing He yawning, his expression immediately darkened.

He glanced at it, then turned and left.

"go!"

"Boss Guzma, you have to stand up for us!"

"Boss Guzma?"

Guzma's face darkened.

To take the lead?

Damn it, one is at least a champion, and the other is at least a Four Heavenly King, and they're making the decisions?

If it were just one Merdan, it wouldn't be a problem. Guzma believed he could handle it, and he also knew Merdan's temperament quite well. As long as he didn't go too far, everything would be fine.

But what about Teacher Jinghe?
Team Galaxy of Sinnoh, Team Plasma of Unova, Team Cinderace of Kalos
He's not some idiot who's never left the Alola region and knows very little about the outside world!

“Guzma!” Jinghe suddenly shouted.

Ok?
Guzma stopped and looked back with a frown.

Then Jinghe said, "My boat is docked in the harbor. Could you please keep an eye on it for me? Thank you."

Guzma: "."

They quickened their pace.

"He's so polite."

"Could this person be... a friend of Boss Guzma?"

"No wonder! No wonder Boss Guzma turned around and left. It turns out he didn't want to fight his friend."

"I truly love how Guzma treats his friends; I'd rather die than follow him!"

The Skull Gang came in a whirlwind and left in a whirlwind, leaving behind only a cloud of dust and a bewildered Tyranitar.

Jing He chuckled and looked at Mo Dan, while Mo Dan glanced at the cats at his feet, the meaning of which was self-evident—and these cats too.

"Gengar."

"Genga~!"

Gengar immediately floated out and gave the group of Alola Meowth a very "friendly" smile.

Several Alola Meowths immediately bristled.

Jing He knew very well what was going on with these cats.

As the saying goes: evil people need evil people to teach them a lesson.

There's no one better suited to "take care" of them than Gengar.

"Genga!!"

Gengar burst into "wild" laughter.

Heaven is helping me! It has allowed me to establish a "base" in Po Town!
As for the fact that these Meowths are docile on the surface but mischievous behind the scenes, Gengar is even more mischievous than them.

It didn't take a while.

Inside the police station.

Mo Dan lay on the recliner, playing with a kendama, while Jing He sat in a chair, drinking coffee and browsing documents.

Gengar swaggered in, followed by a line of Meowths, like a mother hen with her chicks.

"Genga~"

It waved its hand.

Count off!

The Alola Meowths stood in a neat row and then began counting off, "Meow! Meow!"

Merdan: "."

He glanced at Gengar and Meowth, then at Jing He, who was sitting in a chair smiling silently as he looked at the documents, and took a deep breath before saying:
"Okay, I take back what I just said. You are still quite suitable for Dark-type Pokémon."

Gengar is a Ghost-type and Poison-type Pokémon.

Only Merdan, who clearly understands the temperament of these cats, knows what kind of Gengar was that "tamed" them in just over ten minutes.

"This guy... he must be raising a bunch of 'thugs'," Mo Dan thought to himself as he looked at Jing He.

jingle--

The door was pushed open again.

"They were so well-behaved today!"

A girl with long, loose purple hair walked in, wearing a dark purple dress that looked like rags, and a gold armband on her arm.

Acerola!

On Ula Ula Island, the captain in charge of the "Value Supermarket Site" challenge stage will be recommended by Modan to Dr. Kukui, one of the original Elite Four of the Alola League!

"Teacher Jinghe?" Acerola looked quite surprised to see Jinghe.

"Acerola, Aurora."

Jinghe greeted her with a smile.

Although the two were not particularly close, they knew each other.

In the last "Youth World Championship", Acerola made it to the round of 16, but ultimately lost to the "superhuman" Cattleya.

“Aurora!” Acerola bowed slightly.

Her relationship with Mo Dan was somewhat like that of a master and apprentice, so her presence here was not surprising to Jing He.

From behind her shoulder, a Mimikyu wearing a small red flower cautiously peeked out and looked at Gengar.

"Gengar~" Gengar grinned and waved at it.

Mimikyu immediately shrank back as if frightened.

"I might go to the 'Marie Library' this afternoon, Acerola, are you there?"

Inside the Marière Library, there are some records about Necrozma, and with the help of Acerola, the librarian, he can find the documents he wants to read more quickly.

"Ok!"

Acerola nodded. "I'll go back after I finish consulting with Mr. Merdan. I have to tell stories to the children this afternoon."

With a look of "trouble is coming again," Merdan placed a tattered map and a black Dark-type Z-Crystal on the counter with an annoyed expression.

"Your map and Evil Z, hurry up and get going," Merdan urged.

"Huh?" Acerola tilted her head. "Dark-type Z-Crystal? Is Teacher Jinghe here to challenge the Island Pilgrimage?"

"No, that's not it." Jing He smiled as she packed her things.

"Then there's no need for battles?"

Mo Dan and Jing He spoke almost simultaneously: "Of course not!"

They both looked at each other again.

Acerola covered her mouth and laughed, "Teacher Jinghe and Mr. Modan have such great chemistry!"

Jing He: "."

Merdan: "."

"Let's go, Gengar."

"Genga~"

Gengar waved to its newly captured "little brothers," giving them encouraging looks.

I'm going to 'conquer' other regions; the development of the Po Town team is in your hands!

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

The Alola Meowths looked reluctant to leave, following closely behind until Jinghe and Gengar left.

"This is truly the first time I've seen them like someone other than Mr. Merdan so much," Acerola said.

Then she took a document, placed it on the counter, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Merdan, here's the information you requested."

It's approaching noon.

"call--"

After Acerola left, Merdan lay back down on the recliner as if he were completely exhausted.

Finally I can have a good rest.

Drip!

However, before he could even lie down completely, his phone rang.

"This is never going to end," Merdan complained as he took out his phone, then fell silent when he saw the caller ID.

Press the answer button.

On the other end of the phone came the voice of Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket.

"How was it?" Sakaki's tone was as if he were chatting with an old friend. "Have you seen him? Doesn't he look a lot like you?"

For the first time, Merdan's expression turned somewhat serious.

After a long silence, he said, "If it's for his own good, I advise you to have less contact with him."

Sakaki, on the other side, also remained silent for a moment, his tone still relaxed.

"Relax, Merdan. Things are different now than before."

His tone then gradually deepened, tinged with emotion.

"He changed me."

"Change you?" Mordan narrowed his eyes. "What does that have to do with your tectonic map of Mount Lanakira?"

"I heard that Alora is planning to build in this dangerous place, and that's one of our current target projects."

The Rockets are building the Arora League headquarters?

A few years ago, Merdan would have been compelled to complain that this was the biggest joke of the century.

but now.
“I’ve already sent it to your secretary. The rest—bidding, design, and so on—is up to your own abilities,” Merdan said.

"Thank you very much."

The phone hangs up.

Merdan held his phone for a long time without putting it down, and after a while he murmured:
"Like me? It's more like you than me."

jingle--

The bicycle leisurely traveled along the road on Ula Ula Island.

"Turn left ahead, Loto!"

After leaving Po Town and obtaining what he wanted, Jing He headed straight for the Harvest Ruins, traversing the path between Mount Huilani and Mount Ranakira, and heading towards the Haina Desert.

"Rotom, Sand Bike Mode".

"Super! Transform! Loto!"

The advantage of Rotom bicycles is that they can adapt to a wide range of complex terrains, whether it is mountains, deserts or ice.

The Khaina Desert is quite large, but fortunately it is not very dangerous.

Besides the most common ant, there is also the Alolan-like Diglett, which often appears with a head of golden hair-like whiskers.

Following the navigation, we arrived at the site of the bountiful harvest without any obstacles.

It is located in a canyon deep in the desert, with towering rock walls on three sides. Amidst the howling sand and dust, a dark cave entrance is right in front of it.

However, although Jinghe's destination was the Harvest Ruins, he had no intention of going inside.

His gaze slowly moved upwards, slowly looking towards the very top of the rock face, which was at least a hundred meters high and almost vertical.

"Is it really possible to climb up there with your bare hands?"

Jinghe pictured Xiaozhi climbing the rock wall with his bare hands.

Shake his head.

"Inhuman."

Throw out the Poké Ball.

"Kuailong!"

"Woo~~"

I flipped myself onto the back of the Dragonite and rode it, quickly arriving at the top of the rock wall.

This is a very flat and spacious platform, with lush green grass and a small lake.

Since Tapu Koko gave prior notice, Tapu Bulu, the island guardian of Ula'ula Island, shouldn't be too hard to find.
Jinghe looked around.

"Have it!"

Soon we spotted Tapu Moo, lying by the lake, snoring and resting!
Its appearance is very similar to that of a cow with only an upper body, a black body, a white nose ring, golden feet like cow hooves, and a pair of black wooden horns on a red shell like a sun hat, just like cow horns.

At the end of its long black tail is a golden bell.

It is said that as long as its bells are shaken, the surrounding plants will grow and a surge of life will be generated.

Tapu Moo moo sustains itself by promoting plant growth and extracting energy from those plants.

This method of using energy to stimulate plant growth and then extracting energy from the plant is far more impressive than any "perpetual motion machine."

This is also the ability that Jinghe most covets.

If his Pokémon had that ability, he wouldn't need to struggle for money; he could treat money like dirt.

to be frank.

Of the four island guardians of the Alola region, Jinghe is most interested in and most wants to get to know Tapu Bulu.

If you could let it take a trip to its own island, it would be more effective than the cauliflower head of the Crassula ovata.

Not only can it stimulate plant growth, but it can even make fruit trees bear fruit directly, making it the number one mythical beast for farming!

Tapu Moo's personality is very similar to that of the island king, Mordan: lazy, averse to trouble, and fond of taking afternoon naps.

But it would be a big mistake to underestimate Tapu Bulu.

Of the four island guardians of the Alola region, Tapu Bulu is the only one who has ever shown his wrath.

On Ula Ula Island, there once lived a village called Tapu. However, the villagers' contempt for the guardian deity Tapu Moo Moo earned them endless wrath.

Ultimately, Kapu Village was destroyed, and even the nearby value store was not spared.

so.

Never mess with an honest person, because once an honest person gets really angry, they can be far more terrifying than most people.

"Woo~"

Dragonite flapped its wings and carried Jinghe to the spot where Tapu Bulu was sleeping.

huh-huh-

Tapu Moo, who was snoring, seemed to sense something, slightly opened one eye, glanced at Jinghe who had landed on the soft ground, and its emerald green eyes were particularly calm.

"Tapu Moo."

Stepping into Kapu Moo Moo, Jing He inexplicably felt a warm, cozy, and lazy feeling that made her want to yawn and take a nap.

"Help me solve two problems, and I'll agree to what Tapu Komatsu said."

Tapu Moo's steady, calm voice echoed in Jing He's mind.

Ok?
They were much more proactive than Jinghe had imagined.

But two problems?

Tapu MooMoo shifted its heavy body and then rolled over onto the ground.

First, could you scratch my back?

Jing He: "."

Oh, what a huge problem!
