Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 745 Loz's Invitation!
"Boss Nie Zi!!"

"Boss Nie Zi, Miss Mary, waaaaah!"

The members of the shouting team rushed towards Nie Zi with long faces, as if they had been beaten up.

Nie Zi's face was already dark, and it darkened even more when she heard what the cheering team members said.

His dead fish eyes stared at Jinghe and Mary without the slightest fluctuation.

Mary kept her head down, still pondering what Jing He had just said, and didn't notice Nie Zi's appearance or pay attention to the shouts of the cheering team members.

"cough"

Jing He coughed lightly, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

The members of the cheering team who heard him cough suddenly shuddered, their shouts abruptly ceasing as they quickly hid behind Nie Zi.

Seeing their reactions and actions, Jinghe's eyes twitched slightly.

Don't make it sound like I'm bullying you.

This is just a "guidance battle," do you understand what guidance means?
Nie Zi withdrew her gaze.

He didn't feel that Teacher Jinghe was "bullying" Mary. If Mary hadn't initiated the challenge, Jinghe, as a "Master Ball" level player, wouldn't have been able to challenge a "Advanced Ball" level player.

just
Nie Zi said calmly, "I wonder if Teacher Jing He would like to have a match with me?"

Jing He: "."

Does this fall under the category of "the younger one gets beaten up, and then the older one comes along"?
He could control the situation against Mary and prevent too much damage, but against Nie Zi, it might cause some unnecessary damage to Spike Town.

"Hey, Mr. Pioneer, long time no see." Jing He chose to "ignore" Nie Zi.

"Hahaha—" Pioni laughed and scratched his head, "It's only been half a month."

Nie Zi rolled her eyes like a dead fish.

He knew that Teacher Jinghe wouldn't accept his challenge, but he still had to make some kind of statement.

In response to Pioni's words, Jinghe couldn't help but roll her eyes in annoyance.

That's really low emotional intelligence.

But having no other choice, Jinghe could only continue, "By the way, Mr. Pioneer, what brings you to Spike Town?"

Upon hearing this question, both Pioni and Nie Zi's expressions became more serious.

Nie Zi said, "This is not the place to talk."

Ok?
Nie Zi also knows what Pioney is doing?

Did Pioni come to Spike Town to find Nie Zi?
After a moment's thought, Jinghe didn't ask any more questions. "Then I'll go somewhere else first."

Subsequently, led by Nie Zi, Jing He, Pioni, and Marie arrived at the Spike Gym in Spike Town.

Although it's called Spike Dojo, it's actually more like a large warehouse that has been converted into a venue, and its overall style fits very well with the rest of Spike Town.

clang--

Upon entering the Spikes Dojo, one is immediately greeted by a very catchy bass and electric guitar sound, accompanied by a drum kit and a high-pitched vocal.

That commotion.
The area outside and inside the dojo are completely different worlds.

can be seen.

In the center of the Spike Dojo, there is a stage, illuminated by spotlights.

On stage, the lead singer is Blocking Bear, the flamboyant Tremolo Salamander is the guitarist, the low-key Tremolo Salamander is the bassist, and Thunder King Kong is the drummer.
A complete rock band!

Below, a group of cheering squad members were waving flags and shouting, providing ample emotional support.

With this setup, who wouldn't be confused?

Especially that chubby little purple-skinned boy from the Jing family.

"Genga?"

Gengar immediately emerged from Jinghe's shadow. Upon seeing the scene before him, its eyes sparkled as if they could generate electricity.

rock band?

Gengar dreams of having its own "Ghostly Big Band".

After seeing the situation before him, how could he possibly tolerate it?

He immediately yelled and rushed toward the stage.

"Roar?!"

When Bebop saw Gengar suddenly appear in front of it, its eyes widened and it growled menacingly at Gengar.

In Spiketown, at Spike Gym, someone actually dared to steal my lead singer's position?
Don't want to live anymore?

You probably don't know what "Spiked Evil Rock Band" means, do you?

Moreover.

It's just a Ghost-type Gengar, while I'm a Dark and Normal-type Obscurus!

The type it fears the least is Ghost.

How dare it?

Noisy!

Eat my abyssal thrust!

However, Gengar doesn't care about all that.

"The Spiked Evil Rock Band"?
You probably haven't heard of what the "Old Jing Family's Outlaw Team" is, have you?

Faced with the ferocious-looking Obscurus that was attacking him with its claws, Gengar, in a very unreasonable manner, simply made a black ball with its hand and pressed it towards Obscurus.

hum-

The black ball instantly grew larger, completely enveloping the blocking bear.

This caused the two trembling salamanders and the thunderous gorilla that witnessed this scene to change their expressions.

Did you never beat the Blocking Bear?

As musicians in the same band, they couldn't stand it.

They rolled up their sleeves and got ready to join the team battle.

However, the black ball came quickly and went even faster. By the time the black ball that had swallowed the blocking bear had completely disappeared, their companion, the blocking bear, was already fast asleep on the stage.

Dark hole!
The hypnotic effect is outstanding!
Seeing the Bebop lying on the ground fast asleep, the two Toxtricity and Rillaboom were startled at the same time. Then they felt a chill down their backs and stiffly turned their heads to look at Gengar.

But then it saw Gengar looking at its three Pokémon with a beaming smile, and very "kindly" greeted them.

In an instant, sweat beaded on the foreheads of the two trembling salamanders and the thunderous golden gorilla.

They were well aware of each other's strength. Obscurus was definitely not weak, and as a Normal and Dark-type Pokémon, it knew exactly how effective it was against the Ghost-type Gengar.

Now, even though they made the first move, they were instantly defeated by the opponent's counterattack?
this.
This guy seems pretty strong. The three Pokémon exchanged glances.

Gengar happily floated to the spot where it had previously blocked Ursaring's position, holding onto the microphone stand with one hand and grabbing the microphone with the other, getting ready in a very "professional" posture.

At this moment, Gui Gui discovered...

Eh?
Where's the accompaniment?
It immediately turned around and raised its hand with a smile.

"哓GA!"

What are you standing there for?

Keep playing music and keep dancing!

Or do you also want to have a "good" sleep first?
The three Pokémon immediately sprang to attention and grabbed their guitars, basses, and drumsticks.

clang! !

The passionate rock music started playing again.

Judging from this Gengar's professional movements and posture, it might be a rock music pro.

Letting it temporarily replace the blocking bear singing isn't a problem, is it?
Just as the three Pokémon were trying to comfort themselves, Gengar spoke up.

"Gen~gen ...

As soon as Gengar spoke, they realized they were wrong.

And it's completely wrong!

Hearing this too much would be deadly, wouldn't it?

"No! No! No!"

"Hurry! Run!!"

The members of the shouting team below finally realized this.

There's something wrong with this Gengar!
There's a big problem!

Run!

However, by then it was too late to realize it.

Bang! Bang bang! Bang—

One after another, the members of the cheering squad hadn't even run a few steps before they fell down like cut ears of wheat.

The faces of the two trembling salamanders and the thunderous gorilla gradually turned pale.

This is terrible!
As for Jing He and his group, they had already arrived at a room inside the dojo with a fairly good soundproofing effect, isolating them from the noisy rock music outside, and were completely unaware of what was happening outside.

The four of them sat down.

Mary was still pondering what Jinghe had said earlier, and was somewhat "absent-minded".

However, whether Mary participates or not is not important.

"Let me speak."

After sitting down, Pione began to recount his findings from his investigation over the past few days, as well as the reasons for coming to Spike Town.

original.

After Jinghe told Pione that the Galar particles scattered throughout the Galar region might have originated from Mechreek City, he conducted an investigation and also collaborated with Dante.

During Pione's investigation, he gradually discovered that those Galer particles seemed to actually originate from Hammerlocke City!

This conclusion was essentially confirmed with the help of Dr. Mulan and Sonia.

The final test will require installing instruments in Spike Town, which is unaffected by Galilean particles, to observe Quanji City, located west of Spike Town, in a "bystander" manner.

Spike Town has no energy nodes and the fewest Galerian particles, so there will be the least interference from discrete Galerian particles, and the results will be more accurate.

This is why Pione came to Spike Town.

Now that instruments are being installed in Jianding Town, it's inevitable that we'll have to deal with Nie Zi.

In addition, Nie Zi's lack of interest in Dynamax and his responsibility as the Galar League Gym Leader led him to gradually become involved in the investigation.

"So," Jinghe said after listening to Pione's explanation, "it's confirmed that those Galer particles did indeed come from Quan Guan City, right?"

"Yes."

Pioneer nodded in a deep voice, "It's just that the energy nodes in Motogakure are already very rich in energy, so neither the residents of Motogakure nor Gym Leader Rabana were able to detect it."

If you want to cover it up, Lorz will always find a way.

"Have you determined exactly where in Motogakure City it came from?"

Upon hearing this, Pioni and Nie Zi exchanged a glance.

Nie Zi said calmly, "We suspect that the energy is leaking from the Marocmont Group's 'energy plant'."

Upon hearing the results, Jinghe really wanted to applaud Pioni and Nie Zi.

Doesn't that mean we've found the correct "answer"?
Although it was under my guidance.

"So, what are your plans next?" Jing He asked.

Pioni said:
“I have already contacted Dante. Dante has close ties with the Marocmon Group and Lo. Loz, so he should be able to get into the energy plant to investigate.”

When Pioneer mentioned the word "Loz," his expression became somewhat unnatural.

Although he and López didn't have a good relationship, even after becoming the champion, Pione felt like he was living in López's shadow.

But in the end, Loz is also his brother.

Peony was reluctant to believe that his brother, who always talked about the future of the Galar region and how to make the Galar League great, would do something bad for the Galar region.

But no matter what.

Energy plants definitely need to be investigated.

And the only person capable of carrying out this investigation is Dante.

Although Dante and Rose are very close.

But both Pioni and Nie Zi trusted Dan Di's character and personality quite a bit.

If he had truly discovered something, he certainly wouldn't have chosen to remain silent.

"That's fine."

Compared to the solemn expressions of the two, Jing He appeared much calmer.

He already knew what Lorz had done; the only thing he needed to worry about was how to deal with the situation after Mugenta awakened and escaped.

but now.

With sword and shield in hand, and the Raiden King awaiting his summons, plus himself, Pioneer, and Leon, the three champions.

With such a "hand" of cards, how could Wujitai possibly defeat itself?

"Just wait for the results from the Pill Emperor."

Once it's confirmed that Wujitana is in the energy factory, Dan Emperor will surely lead the charge to destroy the factory and seal Wujitana.

All the best!

“We were waiting for Dan-di’s reply,” Pione said.

Nie Zi glanced at Jing He and said, "I only found out it was you fighting because I heard the noise."

Why did we bring this up again?
"Ahem," Jing He coughed lightly, "Let me emphasize, that wasn't a battle, that was a training exercise."

Nie Zi waved his hand in front of Mary's face, but Mary didn't move. He looked at Jing He and asked, "Is this the kind of instruction you give?"

"This, well, doesn't this mean that Mary has grasped something? Her comprehension is quite high."

drip-

Just then, Pioney's phone rang.

"It is the Pill Emperor."

The caller ID showed it was Dante calling. Pione pressed the answer button and simultaneously turned on speakerphone.

"Mr. Pione, this is Dante." Dante's voice came from the phone.

"Dan Di, how is it?" Pione asked directly.

A somewhat helpless laugh came from the phone, "Mr. Rose asked me to prepare for the 'Championship Challenge'."

Championship Challenge?
The three of them were stunned.

Reacted immediately.

Also.

As the popularity of the "Pokémon World Masters Championship" continues to rise, young champions from various regions are emerging one after another, such as Jing He and Cynthia.
There are also characters like Wataru and Karuno who are currently in preparation.

Dan is about ready to make a final push for the championship.

"It's alright, Dan Di, you should focus on preparing for the 'Championship Challenge'," Jing He said.

"Teacher Jinghe?"

Upon suddenly hearing Jing He's voice, Dan Di was somewhat surprised.

"Professor Jinghe, you've arrived in the Galilee region?"

"Ah, isn't this the bottom of the 'Master Ball' level? Let's rack up some points," Jing He joked.

"Score boosting? Oh, oh."

The Empress Dan belatedly responded.

"Alright, get ready."

hang up the phone.

“So that’s how it is.” Jing He and Pioni looked at Nie Zi, only to see that Nie Zi was also taking out his phone, showing that he had received a new message from the Alliance.

really.

The "Championship Challenge" is about to begin.

Whether as the gym leader of Spiketown or as an ordinary trainer, this is the opportunity that Nie Zi is pursuing.

He did not believe that he would have no chance at all after facing the Pill Emperor.

and so.

Nie Zi also needs to prepare for the "Championship Challenge".

That leaves only Jinghe and Pioni.

However, Nie Zi did not leave immediately to prepare. Instead, after glancing at the two of them, she said in a calm tone:

"Some things are already obvious."

Dante wanted to go to the energy plant, but Loz arranged a "championship challenge" for him?
While it cannot be denied that there was indeed an element of coincidence involved.

But if we exclude the so-called "coincidence," doesn't it seem like Loz was being a bit deliberate?
Even if Dante is preparing for the "Championship Challenge," a short visit to the energy plant won't take up much of his time.

Jing He and Pioni actually agreed with Nie Zi's idea.

So now the question is...

How do we get into the energy plant, and how do we determine if the problem really originated from the energy plant?

"Uh"

Three figures flashed through Jing He's mind, and she said, "I might have a way."

“Hmm? Call in the International Police?” Pioni asked.

"No, there are more suitable candidates."

"A more suitable candidate?"

Jing He smiled but didn't elaborate.

It's time to unlock the Trap Card "Team Rocket Trio".

Others might have difficulty getting into the energy factory under Lorz's tight defense, but the Rockets' trio should have no problem.

Moreover, it's not just the Rockets trio; the handsome international police officer can also be used.

Since they were going to take the initiative, Jinghe naturally made several arrangements.

Pioney is only the card that's on the surface.

Playing cards, huh?

You need to have spell cards, trap cards, and monster cards.

Seeing that Jinghe was unwilling to say more, Pioni did not ask any further questions.

After all, this kind of thing is quite private.

Why are we doing hard labor here?

At the "Second Mine" in the Galar region, the Team Rocket trio, dressed in work clothes and wearing safety helmets, are diligently digging for ore.

They were so comfortable in the Alola region before.

You can sleep whenever you're tired, and there's an endless supply of tree fruits and honey when you're hungry. Except for the occasional back-breaking hug from someone dressed as a bear, life couldn't be more comfortable.

Before he could even enjoy his newfound comfort for a few days, he was transferred to the Galar region to carry out some kind of "dangerous area infrastructure project"?

Then we started mining here.

"I suddenly miss filming on set," Kojiro said with a bitter face.

Even when I was on set, life was more comfortable than here.

"I heard that Pichu evolved into Pikachu, and the production team is looking for a new actor, meow~" Meow said with a hint of sadness.

"Evolved?!"

Musashi and Kojiro both looked shocked.

That mischievous and powerful Pichu has evolved into Pikachu?

The two of them then became somewhat sentimental.

"Does that mean we won't see it again?" Musashi murmured.

"Although it can be a bit mischievous at times, but..."

Only when we truly lose something do we realize its value.

"Is the Pichu that's been replaced still Pichu, meow?"

Meowth is actually the one most attached to Pichu.

After all, they are the main characters and partners, and they have a love-hate relationship in the show.

Although they were often bullied, they did build a deep friendship and bond.

"That's definitely not it."

"Now I'm actually starting to miss it."

Musashi and Kojiro were talking.

"By the way, where was it sent after it evolved?" Kojiro suddenly asked.

"I heard it's going to be sent to Professor Oak's lab, meow?" Meowth was a little unsure.

Dr. Oak's research institute?

Musashi and Kojiro exchanged a glance.

This is a very "dangerous" place.

But anyway.
"If I have the chance, I must go see it again, at least to say a proper goodbye!" Musashi said earnestly.

"That's right, meow!"

"Ok!"

Both Meow Meow and Kojiro agreed with this.

even.

Another idea had crossed their minds.

如果
If the opportunity arises, perhaps we could even invite it to join them?

Then they probably have the "highest combat strength" in their trio.

At that moment, Kojiro received a message from Jinghe, and his spirits immediately lifted.

"It's Teacher Jinghe's task!"

"Teacher Jinghe's task?!"

Musashi and Meow Meow immediately perked up.

Are these damn days of mining finally coming to an end?!

"Undercover investigation mission."

Spike Town, Spike Dojo.

"Okay, everything's arranged." Jing He put away her phone.

“So what’s next?” Pioni asked.

"Let's wait a bit and let things play out. If we have time, we can rack up some points."

Will the bullet fly for a while?
Pioni didn't quite listen to Jinghe's words, but he also understood that some things couldn't be rushed.

Just then, Mudan came with Jinghe, and he planned to spend a couple of days with his daughter first.

The group walked out of the office.

Then I saw
Gengar was singing its heart out on stage, while a group of cheerleaders lay sprawled on the ground.

On the stage, a blocking bear lay on its back, two vibrato salamanders and a thunder gorilla with their eyes rolled back and foam at the mouth, looking like they were about to collapse.

Jing He: "."

Nie Zi: "."

Pioni glanced at Jing He, then at Nie Zi, and lowered his head to cough lightly.

"that."

Nie Zi: Stare!

"I'm leaving first, I miss Peony, haha, haha—"

Pione quickly left.

Behind him came Nie Zi's furious roar, her teeth clenched.

"Jinghe—!!"

Then came Jinghe's roar.

"Gengar—help me—!!"

Night falls.

Galar region, Quanguan City.

Motogakure is a city steeped in history, located in the heart of the Galar region, and was once the most prosperous city in the region.

From afar, one can feel the overwhelming sense of history, especially the towering Quan Guan Tower in the center of the city and the walls that surround the entire city.

“From this angle, Quanquan City is truly magnificent.” Daye and Jinghe stood on the deck of the “Heroic Asagi”, looking down at the entire city.

Da Ye immediately became excited.

Such a large city must have many experts inside, far surpassing that "shabby place" of Spike Town.

We're about to climb to the top!

“Teacher Jinghe, there’s nowhere to park in Quan Guan City, so let’s park outside Quan Guan City?” Fried said.

"it is good."

Jing He nodded, while reminding, "But be careful, the area outside Hammerlocke is the Wild Area, and the wild Pokémon there are quite strong."

"understand!"

In the future, their "Heroic Asagi" will not be able to always have cities or safe places to dock, and it will be inevitable that they will have to stay in the wild.

This is when their ability to "Rising Volt Attack Squad" will be put to the test.

“If you ask me, that lake over there is quite nice. Let’s just stop there,” suggested Grandpa Lando, who was sitting to the side, fishing high in the air with his fishing rod.

The lake can also keep out most of the land-based Pokémon.

"Uh"

Reverse Scale Lake?
Jinghe couldn't help but want to give Grandpa Lai Landao a thumbs up.

It would be one thing to want to land in an open field, but to actually stop directly on "Reverse Scale Lake" was something Jing He couldn't help but admire.

His own "stress test" was already over, but now they want to increase the difficulty themselves, which has nothing to do with him anymore.

"You decide for yourself."

However, given Fried's abilities, at most it will be a bit troublesome, but it won't get out of control.

After landing.

Jing He and his group entered Quan Guan City, while Fried and the others parked their airship at "Reverse Scale Lake".

This is destined to be a memorable night.

but.

Just as Jing He entered Quan Guan City, a tall woman suddenly appeared, wearing a white robe, high heels, long blonde hair, and an indifferent expression.

She went directly to Jinghe and said...

"Welcome, Teacher Jinghe, to Quan Guan City in the Galar region. I am Olivia, the secretary of Chairman Loz. Chairman Loz would like to invite you to dinner."

Loz?

How about dinner?

Jing He looked at the woman in front of him and asked with a strange expression:
"Want to bring Pokémon?"

"Uh-huh?"
