Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 759 The Treasure of Calamity!

"I just want to eat."

Looking at the fiery red afro blocking his way, staring intently at him, a look of helplessness appeared on his wooden face.

Why does this meal look like it's uningested?

"what!"

Suddenly, Da Ye shouted, staring at Aoki and yelling, "I remember now! You are one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Padia Alliance, Aoki!"

Aoki's lips twitched, and he tightened his grip on his briefcase, saying in a flat tone:
"I'm sorry, you got the wrong person."

After saying that, he turned sideways and walked around Da Ye, continuing towards the direction of "Bao Canteen".

"Huh?" Da Ye scratched his afro, looking puzzled. "Did you admit you made a mistake?"

Aoki gradually quickened his pace!

His brother wasn't lying, because his name is "Qingmu," while Da Ye just said "Qingshu," so wasn't that a case of mistaken identity?
And
Run away quickly!

This guy doesn't look very smart.

Such people are either not very bright, but they might unleash unexpected enthusiasm in battle, or they simply aren't very bright.

But anyway.

Fighting against someone like that could potentially "infect" you!
"Why, you didn't find it?"

At this moment, Jing He, Xi Lunna, Gadria and others walked over. Looking at Daye, who was standing there scratching his head, Jing He asked.

to be frank.

He was quite looking forward to seeing how things would turn out when Da Ye, such a fiery force, clashed with Qing Mu, such an icy block.

"No." Da Ye shook her head. "That uncle just said I mistook him for someone else. Where could Qing Shu have gone?"

"Idiot! The Four Heavenly Kings of the Padia Alliance are called 'Aoki,' not 'Aoki'!" Gadriya couldn't help but scold.

"Huh?" Da Ye was taken aback.

Cynthia brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly, "Don't ever go out with the title of one of the Sinnoh League's Elite Four again."

They'll think the Sinnoh League are all idiots.

"Is this what it looks like?" Jing He took out his phone, and the official website of the league had a picture of Aoki, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Padia League.

"Yes! It's this uncle!" Da Ye immediately jumped up. "Then he said I mistook him for someone else?"

Cattleya rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You called her 'Green Tree,' of course she'd say you'd mistake her for someone else."

That makes sense.

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison.

It makes sense now that Wusong, despite being so busy, willingly lets Da Ye, another of the Four Heavenly Kings, wander around outside.

"I'm going to find him right now!" Da Ye was eager to catch up with him.

Jing He stopped him.

"At this hour, everyone has probably finished get off work and gone to eat. Do you think they've already finished eating like you? Go later or tomorrow."

Right
Da Ye wore a bitter expression, but she could only accept this reality.

"Go wait for him at the cafeteria entrance!"

With that thought, Da Ye perked up again, put his hands in his pockets, and strode towards "Bao Canteen" with an air of nonchalance.

Once again, everyone was speechless.

“I bet 10,000 Alliance Coins that he won’t be able to catch him,” Jing He said.

If Aoki knew that Daiye was waiting for him at the cafeteria entrance, he definitely wouldn't have used the main entrance.

Given his relationship with the owner of "Bao Canteen," getting in through the back door would be absolutely easy for him.

Unfortunately, no one took his bet.

After dusk.

Night falls, and the full moon hangs high in the black curtain.

Jinghe sat on the deck of the "Heroic Onion" and, imitating Mr. Landau, fished in mid-air, experiencing "loneliness".

Fried went to Luca and Alex's house. They had originally invited Jing He and the others, but considering that there might not be enough room for so many people, they politely declined.

Da Ye was still squatting by the door of "Bao Canteen" on Qingmu.

Cynthia was pulled by Cattleya to the upper deck, supposedly to admire the moon.

Jinghe was left all alone, sitting on the deck at the bow of the ship.

Of course, he can't truly be lonely, since he has a bunch of little guys with him.

Gengar, Dragonite, and Urshifu playing Pokémon cards; Greatsmith and Azurewrath forging and being forged; Tyranitar eating; and Ninetales and Snivy chatting.
"Ugh"

Jinghe sighed softly.

"woo"

The thoughtful Ice Nine-Tailed Fox wrapped one of its tails around his arm.

"I'm fine." Jing He felt a warmth in her heart.

"Woo!"

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox pulled its tail again, signaling Jing He to look north.

Ok?
Looking in the direction the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox pointed, Jing He was stunned.

An alliance helicopter was flying in their direction.

Late at night
Jinghe put away his fishing rod and stepped off the Yingyong Qiancong.

Soon the helicopter also landed on the grass next to the Brave Onion.

A tall, slender woman with a gentle smile, dressed in an elegant black fitted suit, long black hair, and blue gloves, stepped off the helicopter.

Upon seeing her attire and appearance, Jinghe recognized her immediately.

"Teacher Jinghe, I'm so sorry to visit so late." The visitor came up first and apologized.

“No, we should be the ones visiting you, President Ye Ci,” Jing He said.

The newcomer was none other than Yeci, the president and champion of the Padiya League!

In fact, Jinghe had already planned to visit Yeci tomorrow.

After all, this was his first time in the Padia region. He and Cynthia were champions of their respective regions, so they had to pay a visit to the Padia League's president and champion, Ye Ci.

I didn't expect that.

Before they could even look for Ye Ci, Ye Ci herself came looking for them.

Ye Ci smiled slightly, "Because I happened to see your match with Mr. Hachisaku online, Teacher Jinghe."

“I spoke with Hachisaku on the phone, and he spoke highly of you, so I couldn’t resist coming over before it got too late.”

At this point, Jinghe was actually quite angry.

Hachisaku, the top four kings of the Padia Alliance, got fewer points for beating him than he did for beating Cattleya!
Despite the fact that the Padilla region is one of the regions for the Pokémon World Masters Championship, and that Yasaku is one of the Elite Four, and even the number one Elite Four, it's surprising that he doesn't have such a high ranking in terms of points!
This made Jinghe quite angry.

Because after the match, when the scores were calculated, he was still at the bottom of the "Master Ball" category.

Isn't this "bullying" honest people?

But then I thought about it again.

During this period, Hachisaku was probably being "tortured" by the dragon tamer from his dragon tamer family who came to find him, so he didn't have much time to grind for points.

Furthermore, Hachisaku's personality doesn't seem like that of someone who would accept any opponent in order to climb the ranks.

The facts told Jinghe.

Before playing against someone next time, be sure to check their ranking on the league's official website and see how many points they have.

At this time.

Cynthia and Cattleya, who had also noticed the helicopter, disembarked from the Valiant Asagi.

The two exchanged a brief greeting with Ye Ci.

Then, at Jinghe's invitation, the group boarded the Brave Asagi and went to the living room inside the cabin.

Jinghe made a cup of coffee for Yeci, and poured two glasses of juice for Cynthia and Gadria. Gengar even wanted to show off its tea-making skills, so it brought out its Tea of ​​the Night and Tea of ​​the Night.

How could Ye Ci, being a Padya, not know about the Sorrowful Tea and the Fearful Pot?

Even if Gengar's tea is the best, Ci wouldn't dare drink it.

Not to mention, Gengar was brewing Vitality Root Tea.

In the end, the chubby boy could only sit quietly to the side, sipping his tea alone, his ears drooping, enjoying his "solitude."

"Actually, the reason I came to see you, Teacher Jinghe, is to ask you for a favor," Yeci said after taking a sip of coffee.

Jing He gave Cynthia a look, then asked warily:
"Don't know what it is?"

If Ye Ci and the others were to mention anything about the Zero District or Beishan Township, he would immediately see them off.

This trip to the Padiya region was partly a tourist trip to boost my score, aiming to collect those extremely rare "secret seasonings."

It would be best to see Ancient or Future Pokémon; I don't want to blindly rush into the Padia Pit, Area Zero, or North Mountain Village.

"Here's what happened."

Ye Ci took out a piece of rotten wood with extremely obscure and ancient characters engraved on it.

Hirona's eyes lit up the moment she saw the piece of wood.

As an accomplished mythologist, this artifact, imbued with historical significance and ancient writing, held immense allure for her.

"This is a piece of wood that a farmer accidentally turned over while plowing the field. I'm not even sure if it's wood, because if it's just wood, it's impossible for it to last for such a long time without any protection."

Cynthia nodded in agreement.

"The farmer didn't care at first, but later he gradually became strange. He became irritable and filled with hostility and even hatred towards everyone."

Hatred?

Jinghe and Xilona exchanged a glance and frowned simultaneously.

"If that were all, it wouldn't be my place to worry about this. But since then, the people in that village have gradually become like that farmer, and even the wild Pokémon around there have all become like that."

Isn't this becoming a Pokémon world version of "The Deserted Village Story"?

Doesn't that sound a little creepy?
Ye Ci continued, "We suspect the problem lies with this piece of wood, but no matter how hard our experts try, they can't decipher its contents."

Jing He took the wooden piece, glanced at it briefly, and then her expression became somewhat strange.

Why does this text look so familiar?
“Miss Cynthia is a renowned mythologist. I’ve also heard that Professor Jinghe has some knowledge of ancient writing and is a psychologist. Perhaps he can help us find the reason.”

Ye Ci continued, with a hint of helplessness:
"So even at night, they came to the door in a very impolite manner."

"this matter"

Before Jinghe could finish speaking, Cynthia reached out from under the table, grabbed Jinghe's hand, and gently squeezed it.

Knowing Cynthia as he did, Jinghe knew that his little Zhulan was smitten.

Cynthia really has little resistance to all kinds of history.

"This matter is a bit tricky," Jing He said, no longer explicitly refusing.

Since Cynthia wanted to accept, he couldn't refuse, but even if he did accept, he should get some "benefits," right?

“Indeed,” Ye Ci nodded. “If the two of you can help Pardia resolve this problem, the Pardia Alliance will certainly offer a generous reward.”

Take a look!

That's what you call a shrewd person!

No wonder he can be both a champion and the league president. His emotional intelligence and comprehension skills alone are enough to make him a worthy candidate for the role.

However, Jinghe immediately raised his hand to stop Yeci from speaking.

Since others are so knowledgeable, I can't appear "uninformed," can I?
So he said, "We are all members of the League. Although we are the champions of Hoenn and Sinnoh, Padia is also part of the League. We cannot sit idly by. But I have a question for President Yaji."

"Please go ahead, Professor Jinghe."

"I wonder if President Ye Ci is familiar with the 'secret seasoning'?"

Ye Ci was taken aback.

"'Secret seasoning'? Chef Jinghe is also a culinary expert?"

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

Ye Ci nodded, and after a moment's thought, said, "In that case, I will send the information about the location of the 'Secret Seasoning' that the Padia Alliance has collected to Teacher Jinghe's phone later."

"Then thank you very much, President Ye Ci," Jing He said sincerely.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you two," Ye Ci also said.

The two smiled at the same time and shook hands.

"I'm still looking forward to playing against you, Jinghe, at the Pokémon World Masters Championship," Yeci added.

Jing He's expression fell, and she said helplessly, "I don't really want that."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Ye Ci left behind the wooden piece, as well as the information they had collected about the piece of wood, the farmer, and the village.

Cynthia immediately picked up the document and started reading it.

Jinghe, holding her coffee, sat to the side and happily took a couple of sips.

Cattleya frowned, looking puzzled, and said, "That's not right. Given your personality, why didn't you accept the 'benefits' that President Yeci promised?"

"don't want?"

Jing He raised an eyebrow, giving him a "you don't understand" look. "What do you mean 'don't want'? Did I say 'don't want'?"

But you weren't just now.

Looking at the document, Cynthia smiled and said, "He skipped over that topic, but President Yici has shown his style of dealing with people, so as long as this request is completed, the reward will still be given."

Cattleya's eyes widened as she looked at Jing He, who was smiling but saying nothing, and she couldn't help but mutter:
"A shrewd person!"

“But I’m more curious about what this ‘secret seasoning’ is that made you ask for it.” Cynthia kept her head down, but her tone was full of curiosity.

"Ahem, what does 'want' mean?"

Jinghe choked on her coffee, but still said, "These are some special seasonings that can make food more delicious; they are rare and valuable."

"I see."

Even Jia Deliya admired Jing He's culinary skills.

no way.

This guy is a real cook!

"Once we find it, I'll cook you a big meal!" Jing He said with a smile.

"Genga!!"

Gengar, who had been pretending to be listless, immediately perked up and was the first to speak up in agreement.

Even Cattleya's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of interest.

There is clearly some anticipation.

After a brief silence.

Cynthia frowned and placed the wooden piece in front of Jinghe. "I've never seen this kind of writing before. Jinghe, do you recognize it?"

Jinghe glanced at the wood chips.

The text above did give him a sense of familiarity, but upon closer inspection, he found it to be different.

It wasn't the kind of writing he recognized.

Jing He sighed softly to herself.

But he still said, "I don't know him either."

After a pause, he immediately added, "However, I roughly know where this wood chip, or more precisely, this 'bamboo chip,' comes from."

"Bamboo strips?"

Cynthia was taken aback and picked up the bamboo strip, examining it closely.

Due to the passage of time, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye whether it is a piece of wood or a piece of bamboo.

"It's strange that the bamboo strips have been preserved until now."

“Because it is a treasure,” Jing He said.

"treasure?"

Jinghe sat up slightly and said, "Legend has it that during the time of the Parthian Empire, someone brought four treasures from the distant East: a tripod, a sword, a bamboo slip, and a jade tablet, which were eventually sold to the king."

"A tripod, a sword, a bamboo slip, and jade?" Gadriya looked puzzled.

"The distant Eastern Lands?" The more perceptive Cynthia vaguely sensed that Jing He seemed to have a strange feeling about these words.

Jinghe did not explain, but continued, "But these four treasures are actually four Pokémon. Over a long period of time, they have traveled to various places and absorbed many desires and curses. After being handed over to the king, they triggered various desires deep in the king's heart."

"And then the king destroyed the empire himself?" Gadriya interjected.

Jinghe rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"It's not like you're in the United States; your kings aren't all that stupid."

Despite possessing both black and white dragons, he was ultimately destroyed in the struggle between the two dragons. The king of the Unova region clearly had no idea what the way of balance or the way of a king was.

"you!"

"Don't interrupt me!" Jing He ignored her completely. "Afterwards, the king found a powerful Pokémon trainer who used eight stakes to seal them in four different locations in the Padia region."

“So,” Cynthia began, “you’re saying that this bamboo slip actually originated from the Jian among the four treasures?”

"Most likely." Jing He nodded.

"And those four Pokémon are known as the 'Disaster Pokémon'!"

Cynthia and Gadriya repeated the phrase "treasure of calamity".

"A divine beast?" Gadriya asked, as if confirming.

Jinghe remained noncommittal, but her expression spoke volumes.

He took another sip of coffee and said calmly, "But don't be nervous. It's not a legendary Pokémon like Rayquaza, Giratina, or the Black and White Dragons. If we really have to compare it, it's about the same as the three legendary birds."

Three Divine Birds?
The two breathed a slight sigh of relief.

With their lineup of two champions and two Elite Four members, they wouldn't have to worry even if all three legendary birds gathered together.

Even the legendary first-level gods might not be too dangerous to touch.

“However, there is also a problem,” Jing He added.

"Ok?"

The two looked at him.

“I suspect that when that king sealed the four ‘Treasures of Calamity,’ he sealed them all at once.” Jing He put down his coffee cup and gently rubbed the inside of it.

"What do you mean?" Cattleya frowned.

Why can't you just say what you have to say all at once?

Why do you have to act so profound!

However, Cynthia understood what Jinghe meant and frowned slightly, saying, "In other words, if one of the seals is broken, the seals on the other three will gradually loosen until they are completely broken."

"As expected of my little Zhulan, she's so clever," Jinghe said with a smile.

Cattleya: [○｀Д○]
“And there’s another problem,” Jing He added.

“The most likely solution is to break the seal and defeat that ‘Treasure of Calamity’ Pokémon, but then how do we contain it? Where do we put it?” Cynthia continued.

Cattleya sulked to herself.

Gengar quietly moved a cup of brewed Rapture tea over, its eyes filled with trepidation and curiosity.

The others didn't pay much attention to Gengar's actions.

While they were thinking, Jinghe and Xilona exchanged a glance, and the two spoke at the same time in perfect unison.

"Professor Oak's Laboratory!"

"Your little island!"

Jinghe: "?"

Catherine was delighted and subconsciously picked up the cup of tea.

"puff--"

But it sprayed out very quickly.

"Genga~"

Geng Gui let out a strange cry.

slip away~
"Professor Oak's lab?" Cynthia asked, puzzled. "Why would you think of Professor Oak?"

Because he has incredibly high stamina.

Let alone a "treasure of disaster," even if the whole thing were given away, he would definitely be both in pain and happy.

However, Jing He didn't explain, but instead asked:
"Why were you sent to my little island?"

Cynthia blinked her bright eyes and said with a touch of cuteness, "Because... I believe you can subdue it or them."

"These are all Pokémon influenced by negative emotions, so their nature can't be bad. Isn't that something you excel at?"

Jinghe opened her mouth and moved her lips.

For a moment, I didn't know how to refute it.

But in his mind, he subconsciously pictured his own ghost, leading four "Disaster Treasure" Pokémon, known as the "Outlaw Team," acting lawlessly.
It suddenly shuddered.

No!

This is incredible!

Under the "leadership" of their own ghost, wouldn't that cause a huge mess?
really.

It would be most appropriate to give it to Professor Oak!
There's no other way but to let the old man suffer for now.

At worst, Jinghe can write a letter for him to King Kikuko as a "repayment"!

And so it's happily decided!
Now that we know about the "Disaster Treasure" Pokémon, the investigation becomes much simpler.

However, compared to the "Disaster Treasure" Pokémon whose fate is already known, Cynthia is more curious about that history.

Even Yeci, the president and champion of the Padiya League, didn't know.
How did Jinghe find out?
But considering that Jinghe always seems to know some untold stories, it's probably because his mythical beast friends told him, right?

Cynthia did not investigate further.

Everyone has their own secrets.

"Gengar!! Stop right there!" came Cattleya's howl from the Valiant Onion.

"Genga~"

Hehe, I can't catch it!
at the same time.

Da Ye was still waiting at the entrance of "Bao Canteen".
