Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 11 Energy Cube
Kanto region, Tokiwa city.

A secret underground base.

A middle-aged man with cold eyes and a stern face walked step by step to his seat.

Behind him stood a large number of researchers in white lab coats, and subordinates with their hands behind their backs like soldiers.

In the past, when these people looked at that middle-aged man, they couldn't help but feel fervent admiration and worship in their eyes.

But today, besides that fervor and worship, there's also a touch of the strange.

only because.
The middle-aged man wore an apron over his black suit, the kind that housewives often wear.
His temperament and the environment here seemed completely out of place.

But the middle-aged man didn't seem to care much about it.

He put one hand on his collar, twisted his neck, and loosened his collar slightly.

He casually took off his apron and tossed it aside, revealing a bright red "R" on his left chest!
As he sat down at the table, a soft, languid call rang out.

"Meow--"

The cat, who was lying next to the chair, saw the man and immediately leaned against him. The man's hand naturally rested on its head and gently stroked it, eliciting a comfortable purr from the cat.

After the man sat down, his gaze swept over the dozens of researchers in white lab coats in front of him, and he spoke in a calm tone:
"Tell me about it."

A single sentence silenced the entire room. The researchers below exchanged bewildered glances, large beads of sweat slowly sliding down their foreheads.

The man didn't continue speaking, but simply stroked the eldest cat while silently watching them.

But sometimes the pressure from unspoken words is even greater.

Furthermore, the sense of danger emanating from the leader of the cats was extremely strong. It appeared gentle, but its cold gaze was chilling, as if it would pounce on the man like a tiger with just a simple movement.

Under immense pressure, the leader of the researchers stepped forward, wiping his brow, and explained:

"Boss, its indicators are all normal, and its thinking is even more active than before, but much more organized."

Ok?
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned forward slightly, and said calmly, "Continue."

The lead researcher took a deep breath, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"In other words, this cooking..."

As he spoke, he glanced cautiously at the man sitting in the darkness, a man whose mere stomp of his foot could shake the entire Kanto region and even the underworld of Johto.

To be honest, if it were before, he would never have believed that the person in front of him would actually try to cook, even in the circumstances at the time...

He continued:

"It greatly stabilized its previously somewhat chaotic thoughts and emotions, which was of great benefit to it."

"Is that so?"

The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and slowly leaned back in his chair.

"In that case, let's leave the newly discovered island to it."

"Yes!"

three days later.

Kanazon Pokémon Academy.

Training room.

"Take a break."

Jinghe said to Gastly.

"Kou Jie~~"

Upon hearing this, Gui Dun sighed deeply, glanced at the balls scattered all over the ground, and quickly floated back to Jing He's side, revealing a pitiful expression.

They kept circling around him.

From Gastly's perspective: "I've been so well-behaved, shouldn't I get a reward?"
From Jinghe's perspective: Hmm, it seems we underestimated Gastly's stamina. We can increase the training volume next time.

Gastly spent almost the entire morning practicing a skill called "dodgeball".

The specific training content involves dodging balls shot out of a machine. It seems simple, but there is more than one ball-launching machine in the training room. Timing, direction, and angle are all factors that need to be considered.

It was exhausted after a morning's work.

Fortunately, Gastly is a Pokémon known for its speed, and it performed exceptionally well in this training session.

Jinghe took out the food that had been prepared in advance.

Two deep purple, crystal-clear energy cubes emanating a faint, sweet fragrance. Gastly's eyes lit up instantly.

"Kou Jie!!"

"No! Don't lunge at me! The gas is poisonous! Stop!"

One minute later.

"Hehehe~~"

Gastly happily munched on two Energy Cubes, then gave Jing He a sly smile as she looked at him, whose hair was slightly disheveled and who was tidying her clothes.

Take advantage!

Jinghe said he has gradually gotten used to Gastly's mischievousness and pranks.

He let out a long breath that he had been holding for a long time.

'For Pokémon, regular food is enough to sustain their daily needs, but when battles and training are added, only highly compressed energy foods like Energy Cubes can provide them with sufficient sustenance.'

This is why he immediately spent a lot of money to buy Power Cubes after the first day of training Gastly.

Gastly is currently eating a mid-level energy cube suitable for Ghost-type Pokémon, each of which is worth fifty League Coins, making it quite expensive.

His salary was actually not bad.

After all, he is a teacher at the most famous Pokémon Academy in the Hoenn region, and his treatment is quite good.

But nothing.

Despite its light and small size, Gastly has a much larger appetite than he expected!
However, to be fair, with the help of Power Cubes to replenish its stamina, Gastly's training efficiency has indeed increased significantly compared to before.

Jinghe couldn't help but sigh that being a trainer was indeed a profession that required a lot of money.

"Kou Jie?"

Gastly, who was eating an Energy Cube, noticed that Jinghe was staring at her phone and frowning from time to time. She cautiously moved closer.

Upon discovering that the phone screen was filled with dense text, it immediately felt overwhelmed.

It prefers watching videos and looking at pictures to reading text.

However, as Jinghe continued scrolling down her phone, Gastly saw pictures that it liked.

And what's more, it's an energy cube!
"Kou Jie?"

Jing He was already used to Gastly suddenly appearing behind her. While browsing the content, she said:
"It's the process of making the energy cube."

Actually, his school taught him this kind of knowledge when he was in school, but because he majored in Pokémon psychology and didn't have any Pokémon at the time, he didn't learn much about it.

But now that he had caught Gastly and Power Cubes were so expensive, he decided to learn how to make them himself.

Anyway, it's never a bad thing to try learning it.

Upon hearing that Jinghe had gone to learn how to make Energy Cubes for his sake, Gastly's eyes immediately turned into wavy lines, and he was moved to tears.

"Kou Jie!"

"Shit! Again?!"

Jing He straightened her clothes as she walked out of the training room.

Gastly doesn't like going into Poké Balls, possibly because of a "aftereffect" left over from when it was first caught by Jinghe.

He didn't insist on it.

After all, it feels pretty good to carry around a "mini air conditioner".

Gastly's training is progressing relatively smoothly, but training is training, and combat is combat. It's difficult to maintain a consistent mindset in two different environments, especially in dangerous situations.

'Therefore, it's best to give Gastly some opportunities for real combat.'

Stepping out of the training hall, the sky was overcast, as if it were about to rain at any moment.

But before he could take two steps, he heard someone shout in surprise:

"Teacher Jinghe?"

Look in the direction of the sound.

They discovered it was actually a cuckoo and Daigo.

Um, would you believe me if I said I forgot to set up automatic updates, which is why the update was late?
