Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 805, the Masters Tournament Finals, begins!
With the Pokémon World Masters Championship finals approaching, Jinghe has been enjoying a rare period of "quiet" time.

Even the usually noisy Da Ye stopped coming to chatter away, seemingly to give him a quieter environment to prepare for the battle.

But with the Pokémon of their "Old Jing Family".
Finding a quiet environment isn't so easy.

This is not.

Gengar, covered by a white cloth, is playing a ghost-catching game in the yard with Jirachi, Victini, and Tyranitar.

to be honest.
Gengar is a ghost, why would it need to be covered with a white cloth?
"Genga! Ψ(｀▽)Ψ"

Here I come! I'm coming soon!

[Run! Jinghe, run! A ghost is coming!!]

In an instant, the little creatures scattered like birds.

Jing He shook his head.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they were on vacation, not preparing for some Masters tournament finals.

Cynthia, sitting with her legs crossed, looked at Jing He's helpless expression and asked with a smile:

"Would you like us to do a mock test for you beforehand?"

"Huh?" Jing He was taken aback.

Cynthia continued, "My Garchomp and Steven's Aggron should be able to simulate Giovanni's Sandstorm Team to a degree of six or seven out of ten."

While we may not be able to perfectly replicate the essence of the game, we are all top-tier trainers, and we can still deduce some things based on videos and our mutual analysis.

After a pause, she continued:

"As for the last Beedrill that flashed by, it should have reached the legendary level. Although A-Liu is far behind, she should still be able to get three or four points of it through simulation."

Jing He was speechless after hearing this.

"no need."

He waved his hand and laughed, "Old Sakaki... cough, Mr. Sakaki, apart from that Beedrill, it's hard to say what the final lineup will be."

"Two different interpretations?"

Jinghe didn't know how to explain it either.

Are you suggesting we tell Cynthia that, given Giovanni's abilities and financial resources, he has at least three main teams?
In the special episode, Blue received Giovanni's "Earth Secrets" and in just one year, he trained a team of Pokémon with near-champion strength from scratch. Not to mention Giovanni's many years of management.
Although Blue Green is the "nurturing person", Boss Giovanni's nurturing ability has the existence of "Tokiwa Power", plus the Rockets' financial resources are definitely not much inferior to Blue Green.

So he simply told Cynthia, "Mr. Giovanni has trained many Pokémon, and what we see is perhaps only a part of them."

As others have said, in a battle in the wild, Kikuko's strength is something that even many champions can't match.

If it were in the wild, even the champion would have a hard time stopping Giovanni's "Earth Legion" if he came out.

"Hmm," Cynthia nodded, "I see."

"Just maintain your current form," Jing He said calmly, but with a rare air of confidence. "When we're in good form, we're invincible!"

Cynthia blinked, looking at Jing He in front of her, slightly taken aback.

She rarely saw Jinghe so confident. It wasn't that Jinghe usually lacked confidence in herself and her Pokémon, but rather that she rarely showed this confidence.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled and said, "Then let's take my share and win the championship!"

The preparation time flew by, and online discussions intensified.

The final day of the Pokémon World Masters Championship, eagerly anticipated by countless viewers, has finally arrived!
Johto Region, Goldenrod City, Team Rocket's secret underground base.

Apollo, dressed in a white Rockets executive uniform, stood with his hands behind his back, while three other Rockets executives sat on the sofa in front of him.

The four people in the room were none other than the four generals of Team Rocket, the highest-ranking officers of Team Rocket in the Johto region!

At that moment, the television screen in the room was showing the final round of the "Pokémon World Masters Championship".

Apollo said in a calm tone:

"The leader has instructed us to watch this live broadcast."

As for what Sakaki meant, the four of them had already understood it to some extent.

Nothing more than that.
The leader has already chosen a successor, namely the currently popular Teacher Jing He. He wants to use this battle to make them realize Teacher Jing He's strength and make them obediently accept it.

After all, within the Rockets organization, merit is paramount.

But to be honest
They are cadres, not hermits from the mountains. How could they not know Teacher Jinghe's name?
of course.

Strength is a prerequisite for gaining their approval, but if someone wants to take over Boss Sakaki's position based solely on strength, then apart from the loyal Apollo who will obey Boss Sakaki's wishes, the other three will inevitably have some ulterior motives.

It's not just the "Four Generals of Team Rocket" who have their own ulterior motives; the "Three Beasts of Team Rocket" also do.

However, without exception, all of these people were watching the final of this Masters tournament.

Gongmen City, Gongmen Arena.

As evening fell, the Palace Arena was packed with people both inside and outside. Not only were all the seats in the arena filled, but a large number of spectators also came to watch the live broadcast on the big screen outside the venue.

An incredibly lively atmosphere, filled with curiosity and anticipation, permeated the entire city.

dong dong dong-

As night fell, the lights inside and outside the stadium lit up one by one, instantly turning the area around the Palace Arena into daylight.

Numerous aerial shots of Rotom, with news channel helicopters circling overhead.

The audience immediately widened their eyes, holding their respective support signs, staring into the arena, anticipating the appearance of the two figures.

"I'm sure everyone has been looking forward to this for a long time, and so have I—"

The familiar voice of the host rang out.

"First of all, welcome everyone to the finals of our 'Pokémon World Masters Championship'!!"

"Without further ado, let's welcome our two finalists to the stage!!"

boom! !

Cheers erupted immediately.

bang bang bang-

Countless fireworks burst in the sky above the arena, their dazzling colors reflecting in everyone's eyes.

Inside the contestants' tunnel.

Jinghe sat on the bench, listening to the host's shouts outside, and silently closed "The Mysteries of the Earth," a book she had read countless times.

Looking at his own Pokémon in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.

The opponent is Boss Sakaki, so I guess I really have to use all my "trump cards" this time.

Think carefully
"We are the 'root cause' of the irrationality in the Pokémon world."

Leaving aside Azure Flame Blade Demon's "Sword Cannon Form" and Coach Xiong's combo-one-hit style.

Dragonite's "outrage state" has an even more refined finishing touch.

The Great Blacksmith's "Beast Hammer," and the ability to unlock the "King of Hammers" form.

Ninetales' Fairy Tablets, Earth Control, and its signature Z-Moves can also be crucial trump cards.

Needless to say, Gengar's Bond Phenomenon allows it to evolve without needing a "Gengar Mega Stone," giving Jinghe even more options.

For example, you can let Gengar carry other items and use the enhancement methods on other Pokémon, such as Ninetales' exclusive "Z-Move", Dragonite and Tyranitar's Mega Evolution, Urshifu's Dynamax, and so on.

To exaggerate even further.

In Gengar's shadow lies a legendary Pokémon, Spectralma!

Theoretically speaking, Gengar and Spectral, which are "a perfect match", are actually a single Pokémon, at most just a little bigger than Dragapult's Dragoon.

compare to.

Tyranitar's Cliff Blade and Serperior's "Forest Power" seem rather "ordinary" in comparison.

"Please welcome our two finalists to the stage!!"

The host's voice came over, and the staff next to her whispered a reminder. Jing He nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he stood up. "Giggle~"

With a wicked grin, Gengar draped the "champion's" cape over Jinghe's shoulders.

Ninetales stood close by, Dragonite squinted and rubbed its belly, Greatsmith carried a hammer with a sunny expression, Urshifu snored, Azure Blade struck a cool pose, Tyranitar gnawed on a diamond, and Serperior held its head high with an air of arrogance.
"gone!"

Jing He waved his hand gently.

"Genga~!"

Gengar leaped into Jinghe's shadow, while the rest of the Pokémon turned into red light and flew back into their Poké Balls.

For a moment, his cloak fluttered in the wind.

As you step out of the athletes' tunnel, at the boundary between light and darkness, there is a deafening roar of cheers that feels almost tangible, and the ground and walls tremble slightly.

"Teacher Jinghe!!"

In a corner of the vast arena, the students of the Kanaz Pokémon Academy stood in neat uniforms, holding up banners and shouting at the top of their lungs.

To support Teacher Jinghe, the academy, which had already temporarily closed for the Masters Tournament, gathered all the students willing to come to the Galar region to support Jinghe, forming a huge "Teacher Jinghe Support Group".

opposite.

Still wearing his black suit, Sakaki calmly walked out of the players' tunnel with his hands in his pockets under the spotlight.

"Mr. Sakaki (the boss)!!"

Sakaki's "support group" is also quite large.

Rainbow Rocket Group took over many of the Marocmon Group's "legacy" in the Galar region, and the members of Team Rocket naturally became legitimate employees of Rainbow Rocket Group, coming to the scene to support Giovanni.

Leading the group was Masato, who was holding up a magnificent poster of Boss Sakaki.

"Listen up, Kojiro, you hold up Teacher Jinghe's poster, and Meow Meow, you hold up Boss Sakaki's poster. We support you both!" Musashi instructed from both sides.

Both sides are big shots; they can't afford to offend them.

"And what about you, meow?" Meow couldn't help but ask, holding a poster of Boss Sakaki.

“That’s right,” Kojiro, who was holding up a poster of Teacher Jinghe, chimed in.

"Me?" Musashi grinned, raised his hands, and pulled out two posters. "Of course I'll support them together!"

"Damn it! Meow!"

"That's it!"

"妦~偦嗦~!∠(°ゝ°)"

Let's go to the other side.

"Go, Teacher Jinghe!!" After Xiluona lost to Teacher Jinghe, Daye once again became Teacher Jinghe's most loyal supporter and cheered loudly.

It wasn't just him; Gossong, Aryu, and all the other Sinnoh Elite Four were the same.

Only they knew best just how strong the leader was, and yet even such a leader had lost to Teacher Jinghe. They didn't know who else could defeat Teacher Jinghe.

Wusong's "insights" were even deeper.

after all
After beating up the gang leader like that, Teacher Jinghe still managed to "survive"—such ability truly makes her a role model for us all!

Amidst cheers and applause, Jinghe and Sakaki walked to the center of the field.

Eye to eye.

"Boss Sakaki," Jing He greeted with a slight smile.

Sakaki nodded slightly, his eyes filled with relief as he looked at Jinghe, and a fighting spirit that had not been seen on Sakaki's face for a long time.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he had felt an uncontrollable urge to fight someone when facing them.

However, Sakaki could also sense that although Jinghe had a fighting spirit and a desire to win, it didn't seem to be particularly strong.

Ever since.

Sakaki, who seemed to know Jing He quite well, said softly, "If you lose, you'll take that position."

Ok?
Ok? !

Jinghe naturally knew what "that position" Sakaki was referring to—the crucial position of the Rockets' leader.

For others, it's undoubtedly an extremely tempting position—it's the Rockets!
The "underground emperor" of the Kanto and Johto regions.

There are countless people within the Rockets organization who are secretly vying for this position.

But for Jinghe
He even considered stepping down as the Hoenn League champion.

Rockets leader?
Jing He's expression turned serious as she spoke, "I..."

Before he could say anything, Sakaki turned around and walked back to his side, waving his hand with his back to Jinghe.

"It's agreed."

They didn't give Jinghe a chance to refute at all.

Jing He: "."

Take a deep breath.

He exhaled slowly.

Forget it.

Winning is enough.

Whether I agree to Cynthia's request or my own Pokémon's, I'm going to win.

Jing He straightened his expression and turned back to his side.

Seeing Jinghe's expression, Sakaki smiled.

Was Jinghe using all his strength when he fought against Cynthia?

Do not!
In Sakaki's view, Jinghe's full strength is definitely more than what he showed when he fought against Cynthia.

They had fought side by side during the "Super Demon Hoopa" incident.

"Boys, please prepare yourselves!"

Upon seeing the two players return to their respective halves of the court, the referee for the finals waved his flag to signal them.

Hear the words.

Sakaki and Jinghe both became solemn, each taking out a Poké Ball and throwing it out.

"It's you I choose, Bangiras!!" Jing He shouted.

"Banji!!"

boom--

Dust rises.

What appeared before Jing He was none other than the ferocious beast clad in heavy dark green armor, the "Desert Tyrant" Bangiras!
When the audience saw that Jinghe's first Pokémon was Tyranitar, a large number of people were in an uproar.

In the previous match between Giovanni and Wataru, Giovanni's Tyranitar performed exceptionally well, and Giovanni was also using a Sandstorm team tactic.

Is this a tactic to counter sandstorms?
The Land of Ending VS The Sword of the Cliff?

Is it going to be this exciting right from the start?

However, the Pokémon summoned by the Poké Ball that Giovanni threw out left almost 99% of the viewers with a question mark on their heads.
"What Pokémon is this?"

"Doesn't it look a bit like the little duck in my bathtub?"

"Don't say it, really don't say it"

Its red and blue color scheme and rounded shape.
It was none other than the evolved form of Porygon, Porygon2!
Giovanni's first Pokémon surprised everyone, including Jinghe.

It's not a Ground or Rock type Pokémon, nor is it a Bug type Pokémon; it's a Pokémon that most people don't recognize.

Why not the final evolved form, Porygon Type B?
The moment this thought crossed Jinghe's mind, he almost immediately understood what tactics Boss Sakaki was planning to use this time.
He grinned, "So ruthless?"
