Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 807 Sakaki: Why does it feel like that brat Jinghe is trying to shut out me?!

"Come back, Bangiras."

After being struck by the Precipice Sword and then stomped by Marowak, Tyranitar was in poor condition.

the other side.

After recalling Marowak, Giovanni threw out his third Poké Ball without hesitation.

"Mr. Giovanni's third Pokémon is—Rhyhorn!"

A Pokémon clad in heavy light gray armor, walking upright on its feet, and sporting a sharp horn on its head appeared on the field!

Rhyhorn, a Ground/Rock-type Drill Cone Pokémon, is the evolved form of Rhyhorn. When it holds "Protect Armor" and evolves again, it becomes the "Heavy Tank" Rhyhorn!

"Huh? Another Pokémon that hasn't evolved to its final form?"

"Gym Leader Giovanni is really enthusiastic about Pokémon that haven't fully evolved."

"But don't I remember he had a fully evolved Rhyperior? It appeared during his battle against Champion Aru."

"Could it be that he's carrying the 'Evolution Stone' again?"

There is no doubt that.

For some Pokémon that haven't evolved to their final form, besides certain exclusive items, "Evolution Stones" are one of the most suitable items for them.

Both the previous Porygon2 and the current Rhyhorn carry the "Evolution Stone," an item that greatly increases a Pokémon's physical and special defense.

However, when Jing He saw that Boss Sakaki had summoned a Drill Horned Rhinoceros instead of a Super Armored Rhinoceros, his expression became somewhat serious.

Just like Pikachu's Boar and Ash's Pikachu, not all Pokémon need to evolve to their final form to unleash their full power.

This is related to the trainer's training methods and the characteristics of the Pokémon itself.

Even in Pokémon Battle, a game that emphasizes numerical values, not all Pokémon need to evolve to their final form; many unevolved Pokémon are actually stronger.

"Electroball" Pikachu is one example, as are Porygon 2, which Giovanni previously sent out, Dusty Ranger, Chansey, and so on.

And this rhinoceros with a diamond horn from Giovanni.
That makes it even more interesting.

As we all know, for Rhyperior to evolve into Rhyperior, it not only needs the item "Protective Gear" but also needs to communicate. Of course, these conditions can be omitted in certain special circumstances, but communication is indeed "simpler".

"Communication" is a topic that Dr. Zheng Hui has only researched and published in recent years. Given Sakaki's age, when he subdued the Rhinoceros, "communication" technology must not have been perfected.

Therefore, this Rhyhorn that Giovanni has is probably the first Rhyhorn he has captured and raised, and it is one of his main Pokémon in the first tier!

Even without evolving, Giovanni probably valued it more than the Super Armored Rhinoceros he fought against Wataru.

It was precisely because Jinghe understood this that her expression was so serious.

Think about it for a moment.

After Jinghe retrieved Tyranitar, he also threw out his second Poké Ball.

"Go, Martial Arts Bear Master!"

"HorrzzZ!!"

The martial arts bear master, with its mane fluttering, flew out from the red light. As it stomped heavily on the ground, it immediately took off, rushing towards the super armored rhinoceros, surrounded by water currents.

Water jets!

Without a word, the waveguide between Martial Arts Master Xiong and Jing He was enough to convey everything.

Seeing this, Sakaki's expression immediately turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Iron Wall!"

clang! !

In the blink of an eye, Martial Arts Master Xiong arrived in front of the Drill Horned Rhinoceros and slammed his fist into the beast's thick armor, producing a sound like a hammer striking a metal wall.

The magic space still existed, giving the extremely slow-moving Drillhorn Beast an advantage. It had already formed an iron wall before the Martial Arts Bear Master's fist could fall.

Rhyhorn is already a Pokémon that excels at physical defense, and with the addition of the "Evolution Stone" and Iron Defense, even though it is 4x weak to Water, it won't be much of a threat from a mere Water Spray.

However, Jinghe and Martial Arts Master Xiong did not intend to do anything to the Drill Horned Rhinoceros by spraying water. This move was more about eliminating the effects of the magic space and getting as close to the Drill Horned Rhinoceros as possible.

"Water flow, keep hitting!" Jing He clenched his fist.

"HuluzzZ——"

The sound of babbling brooks gradually rises.

"Drill-horned rhinoceros, Iron Wall, hold on!" Sakaki's choice surprised many people.

The explosive power of Jinghe's martial arts Urshifu has been "verified" by many Pokémon in the previous matches. It's one thing that Mr. Giovanni didn't choose to dodge, but he didn't even fight back.
A barrage of punches rained down like a storm.

The clash of fists, water, and metal produced a series of resounding clangs.

The rhinoceros slid backward, its feet carving deep furrows in the broken ground, but the further it retreated, the slower it became, as if its feet were gradually taking root in the soil.

And after that.

With each punch from the Martial Arts Bear Master, in addition to the clanging sound from the rhinoceros's body and its slight swaying, the ground beneath its feet also shook.

Upon seeing this, Jing He raised an eyebrow slightly.

The entire ground is connected to the Drillhorn Rhinoceros?

Is this the Sakaki of the Earth?

As long as it stands on the earth, it will not be defeated unless the earth collapses.
Jinghe recalled a line from Boss Sakaki's "The Secrets of the Earth"—the so-called "earth" does not simply refer to the "ground system".

Seeing this gave him a deeper understanding.

at the same time.

As the rhinoceros continued to endure the relentless water attacks from the martial arts bear master, an increasingly powerful dark red light emanated from its body.

When the light seemed to have reached a critical point, Jinghe's heart skipped a beat.

"Martial Arts Bear Master."

Before he could finish speaking, Sakaki's voice rang out:

"Drill-horned rhinoceros, repay it everything it has suffered! Pay it back double!"

"Roar--!!"

The rhinoceros slammed its paws into the ground, exerting force from its entire body upwards. All the blows it had previously endured were transformed into a dense, dark red light that burst forth, gathering on the horn above its head and crashing into the martial arts bear master.

Double return!
Originally, Boss Sakaki's tactic was supposed to be an impenetrable wall attack.

With its excellent physical defense, Iron Defense, Evolution Stone to increase survivability, and Trick Room to compensate for its speed weakness, Rhyperior can easily sweep teams against opponents with slightly lower stats.

However, when faced with the relentless barrage of water attacks from the Martial Arts Bear Master, Sakaki judged that if Iron Wall Pounce alone couldn't defeat the Martial Arts Bear Master, then the Drill Horned Rhinoceros might not be able to withstand the second round of attacks.

Therefore, he made a decisive move, relying mainly on his Iron Wall, "Evolution Stone" and his own defensive capabilities to withstand the attack of the Martial Arts Bear Master and deliver a fatal blow.

不过这一点。

It was also noticed by Jing He, who had a keen sense of smell, and Master Xiong, a martial arts master.

Therefore, when Jing He spoke, Martial Arts Master Xiong realized what was happening.

Its eyes suddenly snapped open, and dark red Fighting-type energy surged from its body. Under the power of Aura, the Rhyhorn's counterattack was slowed down, reducing its speed, angle, and power.
see through!

Jing He took a deep breath, realizing that simply seeing through the rhinoceros's attack wouldn't be enough to stop it.

but.
Perhaps we don't need to block it?
Jing He's eyes sharpened, and she waved her hand, saying, "I'll repay you double!"

The Martial Arts Bear Master actually reached out and grabbed the head of the Horned Rhinoceros. Previously, the Horned Rhinoceros had been retreating, but this time, the Martial Arts Bear Master plowed a trench in the ground, and the ground continued to crumble and collapse.

The rhinoceros felt as if it had not crashed into something incredibly hard, but rather into a stream of water, and its power could not be fully exerted.

"Roar!!"

With a loud shout from Martial Arts Master Xiong.

The rhinoceros with the horned horn showed surprise and astonishment in its eyes.

Because the rhinoceros with the horned horn discovered that its feet had left the ground!
He was lifted high by Martial Arts Master Xiong!
Since you stand on the ground, you are invincible.

Then I'll make you leave the earth!

It crashed down hard!

Rumbling--

The entire arena collapsed instantly, and the arena's barriers shook violently, as if they were about to crumble at any moment.

Wait until the smoke clears.

All the audience saw was a completely collapsed venue, a martial arts bear master panting heavily amidst the ruins, and a rhinoceros lying motionless in the wrecked ground, its body partially covered by rubble and debris.

"Double the payback you deserve?!"

"Huh? Is this how you use this move? I'm not very well-educated, don't try to fool me!"

"Are they setting up nesting dolls?"

"The venue is completely ruined."

Viewers said that they finally had a match that they could "understand" a little, even though they didn't understand much.

Sakaki gave the panting martial arts master a deep look.

While the average viewer didn't understand, Jing He's opponent in this match clearly saw how the Martial Arts Bear Master blocked the Horned Rhinoceros Beast's double counterattack.

"Can combo-style techniques also be used for defense?" Sakaki murmured.

Using the essence of water flow from the combo-style technique, most of the impact from the double blow from the rhinoceros was absorbed, and then the rhinoceros was smashed down with a single strike.
It is said to be "double your return", but in fact, the Martial Arts Bear Master only "borrowed" a portion of the power of the Drill Horned Rhinoceros.

Given the state of the rhinoceros after enduring a barrage of attacks from the Martial Arts Bear Master's Water Stream, it would have been impossible for the rhinoceros to withstand even without the Martial Arts Bear Master retaliating with double the damage.

Although he didn't understand why Jing He seemed so fixated on "returning double your double," the result was the same. And...

Although the rhinoceros-horned beast lost, the martial arts bear master's condition may not be much better.

of course.

Even though they're not doing well, they haven't lost their fighting ability, so the current score is...
2: 0!

Sakaki retrieved the Drillhorn Beast, which had lost its ability to fight.

Because of the severe damage to the field, the referee had to temporarily stop the match and change venues.

The magic space has also come to an end.

Giovanni summoned his fourth Pokémon.

"Mr. Giovanni's fourth Pokémon is—Dugtrio!"

Dugtrio is an "ordinary" Ground-type Pokémon!

The three Diglett disappeared from the field as soon as they were summoned.

Jing He frowned, and the Poké Ball in his hand emitted a red light. "You're back, Urshifu."

Because of the change of venue, he was unable to recall the Martial Arts Bear Master immediately. Boss Sakaki's three-legged mole is not as "harmless" as it looks.

In the special episode, this is the guy who destroyed the switches on Crimson's Venusaur and Gyarados Poké Balls, preventing Crimson from summoning them.

hum-

In the red light, Martial Arts Master Xiong disappeared.

But as soon as it disappeared, the spot where the martial arts master had stood transformed into a swirling expanse of quicksand.
Abyss of quicksand!

If Jinghe's reaction speed had been even slightly slower, Martial Arts Bear Master would have been trapped in the quicksand abyss of the Three Earth Rats, without even a chance to recall and replace him.

Sensing that their "capture" had failed, the three gopher brothers poked their heads out again, their faces menacing.

Fortunately, the Dugtrio boss's ability wasn't "Sand Burrow," otherwise Jinghe wouldn't even have been able to replace it.

Seeing Jing He recall the Martial Arts Bear Master, Sakaki didn't show much change in expression. He simply seized the opportunity and gave the order:
"Triple-eared Rat, Sandstorm!"

The sandstorm from Tyranitar had long since dissipated, along with the Trick Room of Polygonal 2.

However, Dugtrio is a Pokémon known for its speed, so it can gain the initiative without relying on Trick Room.

huh-huh-

Inside the venue, billowing dust rose again.

Even more surprisingly, under the influence of the three dungeons, the originally ordinary rocky battlefield gradually began to "sandify"!

Furthermore, during the sandstorm, the already fast Diglett became indistinct.

Special ability: Sand Cloak!

In just a few breaths, Dugtrio had created an excellent playing field for himself, and Jinghe threw out his Poké Ball at that moment.

"Ow~"

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox!
Amidst the sandstorm, the snow-white sprite moved gracefully and nimbly, its tails unfurling as the temperature in the entire arena plummeted.

more importantly.

The sandstorm land that Dugtrio created for itself began to spiral out of control with the appearance of Ninetales.

As large swaths of sand scattered, snow began to fall.

Sakaki was quite skilled at using sandstorms, but he had to admit that he was outmatched when facing Jinghe's Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.
You can't beat the weather.

We simply can't compete with them.

However, Sakaki's choice was also quite straightforward.

"Come back, three-legged mole."

The Poké Ball immediately recalled the Dugtrio that had just been summoned.

And without the slightest pause, the Pokémon was replaced.

"Mr. Sakaki has once again dispatched Porygon 2!" the commentator shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"Nine-Tails, Ice Beam!" Jing He frowned and immediately spoke up.

"Ouch!"

Amidst the wind and snow, the azure beam of light traversed a considerable distance and arrived directly in front of Polygon Type 2.

Porygon2 should not be given the chance to use its Regenerate ability, otherwise, given the characteristics of Porygon2, it will be very difficult to deal with.

ka ka ka-

A thick layer of ice crystals covered the red and bi-colored Polygonal 2, freezing its expression blankly inside.

"Polygon Type 2, incapacitated!" The referee announced immediately after confirming the status of Polygon Type 2.

hum-

Only after the referee's announcement did a black, transparent barrier spread out from the center of the Polygon Beast 2.

Magic space!

Giovanni did not choose to let Polygonus Type 2 use its self-regeneration to continue "living a miserable life," but summoned it to reopen the Trick Space.

ka ka ka-

"Ow~"

After the referee's announcement, another beam of freezing light struck the frozen Polygon Type 2.

referee:"."

He looked at Jing He and Bing Jiuwei.

Then he saw that Ice Nine-Tailed Fox was also looking at him with a serious expression.

Even if you lose your ability to fight, you can still unleash attacks?
Are you a professional referee?

referee:"."

Don't you think it's because your freezing ability is too strong that the magic space unfolds more slowly?
Giovanni retrieved the frozen Porygon 2 and summoned his fifth Pokémon.

What will it summon?

The audience eagerly awaited it.

Jinghe was actually a little curious as well.

He could roughly guess what type of Pokémon Giovanni would summon; barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would likely be a Steel-type.

After all, Ninetales' weakness to Steel by four times is unavoidable, and both Gengar and Ninetales are unavoidable factors in a battle against it.

And in Giovanni's Pokémon, what are some Steel-type Pokémon like Aggron? Alolan Dugtrio? Excadrill? Scizor? Ferrothorn?
There are many options.

However, the expansion of the magic space also eliminates options like the Dragon Head Mole.

"It can't be... Fire Steel Heatran, can it?" Jing He thought with a strange expression.

Then let's stop playing and call Giratina right away.
But no matter what, when a sandstorm hits a snowy day, the advantage always lies with the sandstorm.

"Go, Cat Boss!"

Amidst the red light, a Pokémon resembling Meowth, but clad in armor with claws like short swords, exuding a "Viking style," appeared on the field.

"Mr. Giovanni's fifth Pokémon is Meowth! It evolves from Meowth in its Galar form!"

Cat Boss?
Jing He was stunned when she saw the cat leader appear.

I understood immediately.

It's quite normal for the Rainbow Rocket Group to develop in the Galar region, given Boss Giovanni's love for cats, to tame a few Galar-form Meowths or Meowth leaders.

Just
It seems that Meow Meow has gained another formidable rival.

This is not.

The cats in the stands, who had been cheering for Boss Sakaki earlier, turned red-eyed when they saw their leader, the cat boss, appear.

Why? !

If it lost to the cat boss because it was an evolved form and had a more cat-like appearance, then what made this scruffy-bearded cat leader stand out?
How can it be repaired?
Jing He's voice came abruptly.

"Earth Control!"

"Frozen, the world!"

"Ouch~!!"

The already misty snowstorm suddenly became even more raging. The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox stretched out its tail, and as it lay on the ground, it sensed the life force of the earth, and its own aura continued to rise in an exaggerated manner.

Followed by.

With a soft cry from the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, a chilling aura swept through the area.

Even the massive, sturdy barrier of the palace arena was covered with ice crystals and snowflakes, which continued to pile up and accumulate, making the entire arena seem as if it had entered a harsh winter, and the audience's breath turned white as they spoke.

Sakaki's expression became extremely serious at this moment.

Previously, he only felt that Jing He wanted to defeat him, which made him very happy.

现在
Why does he have a feeling that Jing He, that brat, is trying to shut him out?!
