Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 765 "Gibbon" and Spinner
Padiya region, Alliance headquarters building, President & Champion's office.

Ye Ci looked at the report in his hand with a serious expression. After scanning it carefully, he looked at his assistant who was standing respectfully in front of him.

"Didn't you see who delivered it?" Ye Ci asked, frowning.

"Yes," the assistant nodded helplessly. "That place is in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras, the other party deliberately concealed their identity, and, moreover, it seems..."

“It seems we also have people on the other side’s side,” Ye Ci added.

The assistant opened his mouth, but in the end he confirmed what Ye Ci had said, which was actually his guess.

Ye Ci gently rubbed her temples.

The Orange Academy in the Padiya region is complicated by its close relationship with the Padiya League.

Similarly, the Padia League became easier to infiltrate due to its close relationship with the Orange Academy.

can only say.

The close relationship between the alliance and the academy has indeed brought a constant stream of fresh blood to the alliance, ensuring that the Padia Alliance always has a sufficient talent pool.

But this is a double-edged sword.

Ye Ci was also helpless about this.

With a sigh, Ye Ci put down the documents in her hand.

Its title is, in fact, “On the Origin and Status of Gibbon, Chairman of Excellence Company,” which simply recounts the deeds of the “Explorers Team” more than a hundred years ago.

In other words.

This person named Zibeon, who suddenly appeared on the leaderboard of the Pokémon World Masters Championship, has actually lived for over a hundred years!

This is not the lifespan that a normal, ordinary person should have.

not to mention.

This person, who is over 100 years old, actually wants to participate in the "Pokémon World Masters Championship"?
In fact, information about Giborg being the president of Excellence Company is already available online, but most people do not know Giborg's real age.

In fact.

Even Ye Ci, as the league president and champion, wouldn't know this without this information.

Because long before she became the champion and president, no, it should be said that before she was born, Zhuoyue Company already existed. However, at that time, Zhuoyue Company did not publicly announce the identity of the president, and the president was always in charge.

Even the Padia Alliance wouldn't dare to probe Excellence's secrets before it did something outrageous, since they generally got along quite well.

Similar to the Hoenn and Kanto alliances, Excellence also holds a position in the upper echelons of the Padiya alliance.

"President Yeci, this is Gibion's registration information for the 'Masters Tournament'." The assistant handed over another document.

Due to his limited authority, he did not look at the copy that Ye Ci was holding.

But when Ye Ci took the documents and briefly compared them, she was stunned.

"Not the same person," Ye Ci murmured.

"Huh?" The assistant didn't hear what she said.

Yeci picked up the information and photo of "Zibeon" registered in the "Pokémon World Masters Championship".

He was clearly a young man who looked no more than thirty years old, with light blue hair, wearing a neat suit with alternating shades of dark and light blue, and a small cape hanging on one side.

However, based on the descriptions in their profiles, it is clear that these two "Gibbons" are not the same person.
What does it mean?
Is someone from the company named "Giberon" participating in the Pokémon World Masters Championship?
Then someone secretly delivered real information about Gibion.
Internal strife?
Ye Ci couldn't even be sure if both documents were genuine or if there were problems with them.

“Go and investigate this person.” Ye Ci handed the photo of the young “Gibbon” to his assistant.

"Yes!" the assistant replied.

The Orange Academy and the Padia Alliance have their own "chronic problems" brought about by time, and so do exceptional companies that have been established for over a century.

Ye Ci decided to wait and see what the people at Zhuoyue Company were really planning to do.

"As for this, Chairman Yeci, this is what you asked me to investigate before, the status of wild Pokémon in some areas and the nearby residents." As he spoke, the assistant handed over the last document.

Ye Ci didn't say anything, but took it and started flipping through it.

This information was obtained by Teacher Jinghe after she captured Gujian Snail. It was the location where the other three Calamity Pokémon might be sealed.

As she flipped through the pages, Ye Ci asked:
"And the conclusion?"

The assistant pursed his lips and said cautiously, "There might indeed be something unusual."

Ye Ci paused in her movements, slowly raised her head, and whispered, "Are you sure?"

The assistant nodded. "After analysis, two of the three locations have had some impact on the wild Pokémon in the vicinity, to varying degrees."

"Ugh"

Couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Ci felt only weary.

"What a troubled time"

The Pokémon World Masters Tournament, the situation at the Excellence Corporation, the threat and impact of the Calamity Pokémon, and many other unresolved issues left even the exceptionally capable Ye Ci feeling a headache.

"Is Hachisaku still at Orange Academy?"

"Yes, after the Eight Heavenly Kings rejected the dragon tamer family's offer, they returned to Orange Academy."

Where's Aoki?

"Aoki Elite Four member works regular hours, but recently he said he applied for an overseas assignment, probably because he's 'hiding' from Elite Four member Daiki from Sinnoh."

Before Ye Ci could ask any more questions, the assistant readily continued, "It is said that King Xin Li went to Ziqin Town, because there are some things that can only be bought in Ziqin Town."

Zichen Town is a huge market city in the Padilla region, and with the recent "Pokémon World Masters Championship" bringing people from all over the world to Padilla, Zichen Town's market has become especially bustling.

Many things that are hard to buy normally can now be found in Ziqin Town.

"Alright. Let Aoki Tenno and Shinri Tenno go to these two places respectively."

It would be a real shame to not let Aoki take on this rare opportunity, as he rarely wanted to be sent on assignment.

"Also, send them a copy of the information about the 'Treasure of Disaster' that Teacher Jinghe sent."

With Teacher Jinghe's information, I believe the Four Heavenly Kings should be able to handle it.

She watched the video that Teacher Jinghe sent her.

The Ancient Slipper Snail displayed tremendous strength, befitting its status as a divine beast. Teacher Jinghe's Martial Arts Bear Master was even more outrageously powerful, withstanding the suppression of "Disaster Slipper" and ultimately defeating the Ancient Slipper Snail.

Aoki and Xinli aren't as skilled as Teacher Jinghe, but...
The Elite Four don't just have one Pokémon.

With all members present, they can handle a legendary Pokémon of similar caliber to Moltres.

“Then this last place?” the assistant asked.

"I heard that Teacher Jinghe and the others went to Niangguang City? And they even participated in Qishu's live stream?"

“Uh, yes,” the assistant quickly added, “It’s very popular, and there are a lot of viewers.”

He even made a point of watching the live stream. When Teacher Jinghe and Miss Xilona appeared together in Qishu's live stream, it was tantamount to indirectly announcing their relationship, which immediately ignited the entire live stream.

Many people are speculating that with Jinghe and Cynthia joining forces, and the Hoenn League and Sinnoh League joining forces, they are going to overthrow the "rule" of the Kanto and Johto Leagues!

"Isn't Niangguang City closer to the last location? I'll have to ask Teacher Jinghe and Miss Xilona for help again."

As the Pokémon World Masters Championships came to a close, Yeci wished he could create clones of himself, as he felt there weren't enough people to go around.

"I'm afraid you'll have to contact Teacher Jinghe yourself, President," the assistant said.

They are two champions, after all, and not even the champions of their Padia League. Even if his assistant speaks and acts politely, it would still seem very impolite.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ci smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying:

"No need. Just send Mr. Jinghe his reimbursement form. Add 10% to the amount of the items to be reimbursed. Then, put the information and materials for the third location in the reimbursed items. He will understand."

The assistant was taken aback.

Do the president and Teacher Jinghe have such a good understanding?
But speaking of which
I've heard that the champions and Elite Four of the Hoenn League are top-notch "reimbursement experts," able to travel the world with just one "reimbursement slip."

Of course, this is just hearsay; we don't know who started it.
"besides."

Ye Ci put down the report, crossed his hands, and after a moment's thought, continued, "'Secret seasoning,' have you found two portions already? Send them to Teacher Jinghe, and have someone collect the rest as soon as possible."

"clear."

After explaining everything, Ye Ci waved his hand wearily, signaling his assistant to get back to work.

The assistant nodded and turned to leave.

After the assistant left, Yeci picked up the two documents about "Zibeon" on the table again, then turned on the computer. The computer showed several cases of Pokémon suddenly becoming stronger but going out of control.

Based on the alliance president's intuition.

Ye Ci felt that these things might be related.

With her brows furrowed, a thought suddenly occurred to her.

Dealing with Pokémon going out of control. Isn't that Teacher Jinghe's specialty?

Padia region, Niangguang city.

Jing He quickly signed his name, accepting the reimbursed supplies sent by the Padiya Alliance.

The amount was at least 10% more than what he filled in!
As the "reimbursement champion" whose courage is second only to Genji, this is the first time Jinghe has encountered such a situation.

Could it be that I underreported the information?
Quite a few.
Jinghe is still able to keep track of the quantity.

Moreover, not only was the quantity increased by 10%, but there were also two extra portions of "secret seasoning".

These are "secret seasonings" with bitter and sour flavors, respectively.

If I remember correctly, it should have come from the Stone Bird under the Treasure Master and the Majestic Tooth or Iron Tracks.

"So thoughtful." Jing He gently rubbed her chin. "You must have something in mind."

as predicted.

"哓GA!"

Gengar, having stuffed things into its "treasure bag," dug a piece of paper out of its mouth.

"I said so."

Upon taking the paper and looking at it, Jinghe immediately understood what Yeci meant.

I'd like to ask them to go to North District 2 to deal with another "Calamity Treasure" that might be resurrected there.

Moreover, this reimbursement is only for this one time; the next reimbursement will be for the next time. This is just to show our sincerity.

There will be payment after the job is completed.

While I was at it, I also helped find the "secret seasoning".

"It wouldn't be a problem if you could help me with that as well."

Having already "dealt with" the Ancient Slippery Snail, Jing He no longer felt that the "Disaster Treasure" Pokémon was any more troublesome.

As the saying goes.
There is only zero and infinite times.

Since we're going to "raise" one anyway, having one more won't make much difference.

"Let's set off once Cynthia and the others arrive."

Looking at the technologically advanced and bustling city before him, Jing He felt little interest or even a sense of goodwill towards it.

I don't know why, but now he prefers being in the wild, prefers the natural environment, and prefers the lively and adorable Pokémon in the wild.

"Genga?"

"Not here yet?" Gengar looked around, gazing at the bustling street.

They were originally together.

However, Jinghe had to receive supplies from the Padia Alliance, while Gadria took Cynthia shopping, so they were temporarily separated.

"哓GA!"

coming!

The sharp-eyed Gengar spotted them.

But besides Cynthia and Cattleya, Gengar also discovered...
"哓GA!"

There was a man!

man?

Jing He raised an eyebrow and followed Gengar's gaze.

Beside Cynthia and Gadriya, the two blonde beauties, stood a handsome man with light blue hair, wearing a dark blue and light blue suit, a cape draped over one shoulder, and a warm and friendly smile.

Ok?
this person.
Why does this look so familiar?
It looks like I've seen that place before.
Just as Jing He was pondering, Cynthia, Gadriya, and the man walked up to her.

"It really is Teacher Jinghe. I've only ever seen her on TV before. I'm so glad to finally meet her in person," the man with light blue hair said with a smile.

"Hello." Jing He's face also wore a smile, showing little emotional change. "May I ask who you are?"

"Sorry, I was so excited to see Teacher Jinghe that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is 'Jibeiweng'." The light blue-haired man who called himself 'Jibeiweng' introduced himself.

Gibbon?
Jing He's heart stirred.

"Gibbon, president of the outstanding company in the Padia region, currently ranked second in the 'Senior Ball' category, Loto!"

Rotom's Bestiary popped up, displaying a photo of "Gibbon" while introducing the man's information.

Hearing this, Jinghe finally remembered who the man in front of her was.

Gibbon was indeed the president of the company, and even one of the founders of the "Explorers" team more than a hundred years ago.

But it's definitely not the man in front of me.

His name should be Spinner!

A top researcher at Excellence Corporation, and also a highly skilled trainer.

However, although his strength is not bad, it is not enough to make him the second place in the "advanced ball level" during the "points tournament" stage.

Spinner could barely be considered comparable to Fried.

Jing He had just glanced at the "Advanced Ball Level" rankings and found that Spinner, who called himself "Gibberon," was only second to Cibana, ahead of Master Ma, Kona, and Boss Sakaki!

It's likely that the match was fixed.

While Rotom drones did broadcast the Pokémon World Masters Championship's qualifying rounds, that doesn't mean match-fixing is prohibited.

Given the size of Excellence and the strength of the "Explorers Team," there are plenty of ways to help Spinner quickly climb the ranks.

not to mention.

Spiner is a cunning and scheming individual who, despite his ordinary birth, rose from a junior researcher at the Excellence Corporation to become one of the most trusted subordinates of Gibbon, the chief of the "Explorers."

Furthermore, they can also kick Gibion's grandson out of the core of the "Explorers" team.

That kind of cunning alone is something that not everyone can do.

Unfortunately, when Jing He arrived in the Pokémon world, Pokémon Horizon hadn't finished airing yet, and what he didn't know was...
After Gibbon's fall, Spinner took control of the "Explorers" team and became its leader within a year, while also becoming president of the Excellence Company, thus becoming a big figure in the Padia region!

What he relied on were his so-called schemes and plans.

Also.

Taking advantage of Gibion's search for the "Lakuya Element," Spinner secretly conducted his own research on the "Enhancement Sphere." After eventually taking over the project, he promoted the "Enhancement Sphere" under the name of the Excellence Company.

Jing He really didn't expect that Spinner would get involved with Cynthia and Cattleya.

although.

The headquarters of Excellence Corporation is located in Niangguang City.

Seemingly noticing Jing He's confusion, Cynthia gave him a slightly helpless look.

"Hehe, just good luck, nothing more than good luck," Spinner said modestly as he listened to the Rotom Dex's introduction.

"I wonder if there's anything you need, Mr. Gibion?" Jing He pretended not to have noticed Spinner's identity, and asked in a gentle tone while maintaining a smile.

“It’s quite a coincidence,” Spinner said with a slightly embarrassed expression, “Actually, I’m a fan of yours, Professor Jinghe.”

puff--

Jinghe didn't believe it at all.

But Spinner continued, "So, if possible, I wonder if we could invite Professor Jing He, Miss Shirona, and Miss Cattleya to have their names listed on our company's website?"

Before Jing He could speak, he immediately began to explain.

"Of course, it's just a nominal position. There are no business needs or work requirements, and it's not even required to be confined to the Parthian region."

In the Pokémon world, this kind of nominal appointment is not uncommon.

For example, Dante used to have a special battle advisor position at the Marocmont Group in Loz, Jinghe also had a special advisor position at the German company, and even Mr. Genji had a position at the German company.

There is no responsibility or obligation involved; all the other party wants is a name.

but.
Those are two parties who know each other very well, so whether or not they are officially affiliated or not doesn't really matter.

But Spinner's behavior was clearly...
Spinner smiled and held up three fingers.

"Three hundred million Alliance Coins."

Take less? !
Jing He's eyes widened slightly, and her expression changed somewhat.

Spinner added, "One year."

Three hundred million Alliance Coins annually?
So wealthy and powerful?

Jinghe was almost tempted to "rob" Zhuoyue Company.

His nominal position in the German league was only increased by Mr. Mulan to 20 million league coins a year after he became the champion.

After all, it's just a nominal position, and Jinghe would feel quite embarrassed to take too much.

That's a whopping 300 million Alliance Coins!

Does Excellence have that much liquid capital?
Too
After all, it was a behemoth that had existed for over a hundred years, much longer than Silver and Devon.

Moreover, there is also the "Explorer Team," a "military organization," to cooperate with.

Jia Deli glared at Jing He.

Jinghe also came to her senses.

"cough."

Out of respect for money, he coughed lightly and said politely, "Next time, definitely next time."

Jinghe gave Cynthia and Gadria a look.

"We have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now."

After saying that, the three of them turned and left.

Watching them walk away, the smile on Spiner's face vanished, replaced by a shadowy expression.

“Jinghe, Xilona,” Spinner murmured, “…What a pity.”

He turned around and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he turned his head, he saw a chubby Gengar with its palm next to its ear, silently leaning against him and listening.

Spiner: ?!

"you!"

"Genga~"

Gengar scratched its butt and shook its head.

unfortunately
Why don't you say a few more words?
If you say just a few more words, I can make sure you have a "wonderful" night.

Not interesting.

With her hands behind her head, pouting and whistling, she hopped and skipped away.

Watching Gengar walk away, Spinner opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

He stood there for a long while before letting out a long sigh and turning around.

then
Then I saw Gengar, which had clearly left earlier.

Gengar: (ノ)
Spinell: ╬!

The veins on his forehead were bulging.

"Gengga~ Gengga~"

slip away~
Gengar vanished into its shadow.

This time, Spinner didn't believe it. After looking around very warily, she finally turned back to Excellence Company.

On this day, it was destined that when he lifted the covers in the middle of the night, all he would see were Gengar.

"This person really is..."

As soon as she left Brewlight City, Gadriya couldn't help but start complaining about Spinner.

Without saying a word, they stuck to me, acting like we were old friends.

Although Gadriya doesn't understand psychology, as a superpowered individual, she can still sense whether someone is well-intentioned or malicious to some extent.

Cattleya felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, from Spinell's body!

So he didn't give Spiner a friendly look.

Although Cynthia wasn't as direct as Cattleya, the look she gave Jinghe earlier said it all.

"Compared to him, Jing He is actually a good person!" Gadriya muttered.

Jing He: "."

I thank you.

And compare yourself to him.

And what does "surprisingly" mean?
Furthermore, why are you randomly handing out "friend zone" cards?
Jing He, speechless, shook her head and said, "This person is not simple. It's best to avoid contact with her in the future."

"Mmm." Cynthia nodded obediently.

“I even suspect that his identity is fake, and that ‘Gibbon’ is not him,” Jing He reminded him.

"The Alliance's identity can be faked?" Gadriya asked in surprise.

Jing He glanced at him sideways.

Why can't an alliance member's identity be faked?
You've never seen a Rockets team's top executives become one of the league's "Four Heavenly Kings," have you?

As long as you have the ability and strength, forgery is very easy.

I just don't know.
What is Spiner trying to do by participating in the Pokémon World Masters Championship under the name "Zibeon"?
