Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 766 Gengar's "Empathy"

Padiyah region, East 3rd district.

"just!"

The master blacksmith leaped high into the air and brought his metallic hammer down with a heavy thud.

boom! !

In an instant, a large cloud of sand exploded in the sand, and a huge Pokémon fell heavily into the sand, fell into a coma, and lost its ability to battle!
It was a Pokémon that looked like an earthworm, but was many times larger, with an overall orange-red color, a metallic sheen, and a metal shell covering its entire body.

Dragging worm.

The Steel-type Worm Pokémon, unique to the Padilla region, is a Pokémon that prefers to live in dry deserts and feeds on metals found in sand and soil. It has a special fascination with metals.

In this respect, he is quite similar to the master blacksmith.

only.

This worm is dozens of times larger than other ordinary worms, and it can even be compared to the giant rock snake of the Shiba Heavenly King.

Clearly, this is a starter Pokémon, a Steel-type starter Pokémon named Worm!

And now the Great Blacksmith is standing on the head of the Drooping Worm, hammer in hand, pouting.

"just"

Look at the dent on the head of the treasure owner, Tuotuo, that had been smashed by a hammer.

Your metal armor won't do either.

With this, you dare to mess with my hammer?

"Hammer Girl," Jing He said, rubbing her forehead, "Why did you knock her out like that?"

"just!"

The master blacksmith finally realized what was happening, scratched the back of his head, and gave an embarrassed smile.

I got so excited that I forgot.
originally.

Jinghe and his group entered the East Third District to find the Potential Steel Treasure Master Tuotuo Earthworm, or more accurately, to find the "secret seasoning" it guards.

I thought it would take some time, like the owner of that hairy cliff crab, who didn't even know where it was until he got close.

Little did they know that as soon as they entered this desert area, before Bangilas could even get going, a large swarm of tortoises surrounded them.

They set their sights on the master blacksmith's hammer.

after all.

The hammer of the master blacksmith was forged with the immense effort of Hammer Girl, the substantial funds and resources invested by Jing He, and the precious metals obtained through various fortuitous encounters.

In fact, the Greatsmith's hammer is made of a material that is quite similar to that of the sword and shield of the Galarian Sword and Shield Duo.

The allure of such a "high-grade" metal hammer is undeniable for a Pokémon like Dreddrow, which loves to eat metal.

And so, even the giant treasure-owning worm was lured out.

This saved Jinghe a lot of time searching for it.

Hammer Girl lost control of her strength and knocked the treasure owner, Tuotuo Yin, unconscious.

Doesn't that mean we still have to find the "secret seasoning" ourselves?

"Shinni!"

Fortunately, the Green Vine Snake indicated that it might be able to find it.

The scent of the "secret seasoning" lingered on the body of the treasure worm, Tuotuo, and combined with its ability to sense plants, it should be able to find its way.

quickly.

After a little extra time spent searching with the Green Vine Snake, they finally found the cave where the treasure master, the Dragging Worm, lived, and the grayish-white "secret seasoning" growing there.

Its surface is covered with something similar to the salt stains of the "Salt King," which emits a faint fluorescence.

It is the salty "secret seasoning".

Old rules.

After removing most of the leaves and a section of the second thickest branch, you've collected this "secret seasoning".

The things that Ye Ci sent were also handled in accordance with Jing He's wishes.

In this way, four of the five "secret seasonings" have been collected.

However, in addition to the "secret seasoning", Greatsmith, Gengar, and Tyranitar also discovered a "treasure" in the cave of Treasure's owner, Worm!
Some of the metal was collected by the Treasure Master Tuotuo Earthworm or other Tuotuo Earthworms!

These are probably the worms' reserve food.

Most of them were ordinary metals collected from sand and soil, which the modern master blacksmiths no longer considered valuable.

Ordinary metals no longer inspire the desire of even a master blacksmith to hammer them.

Because given the quality of its hammer, ordinary metal isn't even qualified to be hammered into it.

However, there were also some metals of unknown origin, broken and in various strange shapes.

Meanwhile, the Great Blacksmith and his little follower, Meltan, who was attached to the hammer, found several pieces of metal that appeared to be of fairly good quality.

Of course, I also took some ordinary metals, about half of them.

The Greatsmith is unnecessary, but the Meltan is still needed, as it can be a small snack for it.

"If you take someone else's things, remember to 'compensate' them with some energy cubes," Jing He reminded him.

Don't let taking someone else's food reserves cause a food shortage in the worm tribe and lead to fighting. Just compensate them with some energy blocks.

The master blacksmith was quite sensible in this regard; he had already put it away.

"Let's go, maybe there will be some metals that you'll like next."

"What?!" The master blacksmith was overjoyed, and his little follower, Melutan, cheered him on.

Padiya region, North 2nd district.

slam-la-

The waterfall's water is rapid and fierce, cascading vertically from the cliff, like a white ribbon cutting across the mountain stream.

The dense bamboo forest is home to a large number of wild Pokémon, but most of them are hidden deep within the bamboo forest.

"Is this one of the 'Ten Views of Patial'?"

Looking at the waterfall in front of her, Cynthia asked softly.

To be fair, the waterfall is indeed quite spectacular, but having seen even larger and more exaggerated waterfalls, Jinghe wasn't particularly impressed by it.

In terms of size, it's not as big as "Huangguoshu Waterfall"; in terms of height, it's not as tall as "Shengziyan Waterfall".

Having seen even more magnificent scenery, this one is simply not enough.

Rotom, on the other hand, kept taking pictures of the waterfall, one of the "Ten Views of Padiyaa," without stopping.

After finally finishing taking the photos, I looked back at myself.
They're all Gengar!

Laughing Gengar, Scissorhands Gengar, Tongue-sticking Gengar
"Lotom!!" Rotom gritted his teeth in anger.

"It's alright, nothing special."

As he spoke, he looked towards the cliff above the waterfall. "If nothing unexpected happens, this troublesome Pokémon should be up there."

Because Ye Ci has already sent people to investigate, although the exact location is not yet known, the location of the seal can be roughly determined based on the affected wild Pokémon.

"I heard they're really pushing for higher ranks lately, I need to go back and work on it, or I won't even qualify for the 'Master Switch Battle'," Gadriya muttered.

Jinghe and Shirona are both champions, and both are pre-selected "Master Ball" level players. Even if they don't climb the ranks, even if they are at the bottom of the "Master Ball" level like Jinghe, it doesn't matter.

But she's different as one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

As a "high-level" player, you need to accumulate more points to qualify for the "Masters Swap Battle".

Actually.

Given Cattleya's personality, she didn't take these so-called competitions very seriously. Whether she won a prize or what her final ranking was, she really didn't care.

But in the "Master Switching Battle", she can challenge Jing He!
The last time she lost to Jing He, she even lost to Cynthia, which made Gadriya feel bad for a long time.

and so.

She must work hard to advance to the "Master Switching Battle" and then challenge Jing He!

It's not about telling others how amazing she is, but about telling others that what she lost, she will definitely take back!
Looking at the "golden-haired loser" silently gritting his teeth, seemingly lost in thought, Jing He said:

"There are quite a few of the Four Heavenly Kings who can't even make it into the 'Masters' Challenge'."

Not everyone is as willing as Daye and Qibana to constantly challenge the strong.

Some of the Four Heavenly Kings, like Zhimi, are more passionate about other endeavors.

However, Jinghe quickly added halfway through her sentence:

"But I still admire your persistence, so if you're going, good luck!"

Go quickly!
I was just enjoying a peaceful stroll through the Padiya region with my little Orchid, experiencing its local customs and culture, when I had to come and be a "third wheel," and the brightest one at that.

Since leaving Jinhui Town, Jinghe hasn't even held Xilona's hand much!

How can this deepen the relationship?

How can we take kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up to the next level?
Jinghe clung to Cynthia's arm every day and slept in the same tent at night. He felt like a lonely old man.

"Well, I'm sure Gadria can do it." Cynthia smiled and gently stroked Gadria's head, looking both comforting and supportive.

"Meow~"

Cattleya immediately squinted her eyes comfortably.

If you didn't know better, you'd think she was Cynthia's Pokémon.

The cliff was very high, and it was obvious that the Lizard couldn't climb up there. They could only rely on Dragonite and Garchomp to carry the three of them to the top of the cliff.

At the top of the cliff, there is a large lake, part of which is exposed and part of which is connected to the mountain. The water for the waterfall originates from this lake.

"Roar!!"

Upon arriving, you'll see a ferocious Gyarados battling a Golduck in the lake.

The two Water-type Pokémon created huge waves in the lake, and the rain brought by Rain Dance splashed onto the surface. However, the battle between the two Pokémon was already coming to an end.

Gyarados's final water cannon successfully hit Golduck, sending it flying to the edge of the waterfall.

Although Golduck, covered in wounds, had not lost its ability to fight, it knew it was no match for Gyarados. After glaring fiercely at Gyarados, it swam downstream along the waterfall.

"Roar--!!!"

The victorious Gyarados roared to the sky, displaying its savage aura.

Then, seemingly only then noticing Jing He and the others, he glared at them with his red, bell-like eyes, revealing his ferocity.

It stands to reason.

It's normal for wild Gyarados to be aggressive, and it's also normal for wild Pokémon to fight over territory.

However, this Gyarados was still shrouded in a clear negative energy that Jinghe's aura could not conceal.

"Rotom, 100,000 volts, put it to sleep."

Before Gyarados could attack them, Jinghe chose to strike first.

"Loto!"

Shila-

Rotom, who hadn't fought in a long time, unleashed a bolt of electricity. Gyarados, which was four times weak to electricity, couldn't withstand such an attack and its eyes rolled back, rendering it unable to battle.

"Let's go inside."

The ice nine-tailed fox solidified into ice beneath their feet.

We followed the lake water into the cave.

The advantage of Gyarados being here is that there are almost no other Pokémon in the water, and it didn't encounter any attacks from wild Pokémon when walking from the outside into the cave, saving a lot of trouble.

The space inside the cave gets bigger and bigger as you walk in.

Clang! !

When Jinghe and his group arrived deep inside the cave, the sound of metal clanging came from within.

On the platform inside the cave.

Three cleaver commanders, leading a group of samurai soldiers, are besieging a servant general.

The clash of blades was accompanied by a shower of sparks.

"Commander Pi Zhan is besieging General Pu Dao?" Gadriya was stunned when she saw this scene.

"It's for the 'leader's certificate' on it." Jing He was a little surprised, but quickly came to terms with it.

The sealing stone that holds the "Treasure of Calamity" is located behind the platform where the commanders are situated.

Such a close distance.

It's perfectly normal for Pokémon to be affected by the calamity of those sealed within.

As for the "Leader's Certificate," it is a special item required for the evolution of the Slash Commanders.

Generally speaking.

Some powerful and well-honed commanders, after gathering a group of Koma-no-Kami soldiers, will forge the blades on their heads into something called "leadership tokens".

Often, these commanders who cleave the enemy's path have already developed considerable strength and have a good number of subordinates, and are now able to compete with other commanders who cleave the enemy's path.

Once you steal the "Leader's Certificate" from another Slashing Commander and their subordinates, and collect three "Leader's Certificates", you can evolve into a Servant General!

so.

In the wild, it is very difficult for Bisharp to evolve into Servant, which is actually no less difficult than for Farfetch'd to evolve into Sirfetch'd in the Galar region.

And now.

These three were clearly the cleaver commanders under General Pudao, leading a group of small-time soldiers with koto swords to besiege General Pudao. If this were a gangster movie, this act of betraying the boss would be punishable by three cuts and six holes.

"flutter!"

General Pudao was a brute. He knelt on the ground and swung the giant sword above his head, knocking the two commanders flying.

But the other cleaver still left a pale scratch on the servant general's body.

“Jealousy,” Cynthia whispered.

She saw jealousy, intense jealousy, in the eyes of those slashing commanders and lowly soldiers.

That's right.

It's jealousy.

Whether it was the three cleaver commanders or the group of samurai soldiers, they were all jealous that the servant general could evolve to the final stage. As long as he gave orders randomly, a group of underlings would serve him tea and water.

“Ancient jade fish,” Jing He said softly.

The negative emotion brought about by the ancient snail is hatred.

The negative emotion evoked by the ancient jade fish is jealousy!

Ancient Jade Fish is a disaster Pokémon that Jinghe used for a while in the "Pokémon Battle" game and was quite familiar with.

"Gengar, let them sleep for a while," Jinghe said.

Even without it saying anything, Gengar had already appeared next to the group of Bisharp, Ponytail, and Servant.

Gengar, who is usually all smiles, is now filled with rage.

"哓GA!"

Gengar shouted, and all the Bisharp, Pawn, and even the Servant of the Moon instinctively looked at it.

Gengar pointed menacingly at the group of Slashing Commanders and Ponytail Soldiers.

"Gengga! Gengga!"

As "underlings," you betrayed and attacked your "boss." You don't deserve to be "underlings"!
"flutter!"

General Pudao almost burst into tears after hearing this.

Soulmate!
However, before General Servais could invite Gengar to help, Gengar turned and barked at General Servais with even more rage.

"哓GA!"

And you!
You'll be even more so!
How did you become the "boss"?

As the "boss," you can't even take care of your "little brothers," forcing them to betray you and attack you. You don't deserve to be the boss at all!

For a while.

Gengar was pointing at the Servant, the Slash Commander, and the Pawntrots, unleashing a barrage of attacks, displaying an air of "one against ten thousand" and "debating with a group of scholars."

This made General Servant and his companions forget about fighting for a moment.

"Gengar, what is this?!" Gadria stared at the scene in astonishment. "What is this all about?"

Shouldn't we let them take a nap?

Why did you start arguing?

No, it's Gengar that's unilaterally "outputting" damage.

Jinghe turned her head away, unable to bear looking at him.

can only say.
Gengar is showing "empathy".

Gengar, the leader of the "Outlaws" group and the "boss" of the stray Pokémon in Rustboro City, saw this scene and immediately put himself in the shoes of the characters.

Gengar, not only in Rustboro City, but also in many other places, has gathered a lot of "minions".

Those guys were incredibly obedient to it, but Gengar considered itself to be quite good to them as well. In the entire city of Corasic, Gengar could know about any disturbance within five minutes.

As a result, General Pudao, who was also a "leader", was actually besieged by his subordinates?

It's utterly shameful to be their "boss"!

However, after being scolded, the Serpent General and the Splitter Commanders realized what was happening and immediately wanted to tear Gengar's talkative mouth apart.

But just as they were about to exert their strength, they felt their bodies go limp.

Then one by one their eyes rolled back, they collapsed to the ground, and lost their ability to fight!
Seeing this scene, Jing He's lips twitched slightly, and after a long while, she slowly uttered a single word.

"The Song of Destruction"

By combining a lecture with the Death Song, Gengar has pioneered a new way to use the Death Song.

A double blow to both mind and body.

The Song of Verbal Warfare?

"哓GA!"

Gengar crossed its arms, exhaled two puffs of white breath from its nostrils, and angrily turned its head away.

Even though the Commander of the Slashers had all fallen, Gui Gui still felt unsatisfied.

You guys are really something else to go to such lengths as to be "brothers"!
suddenly.

Gengar's eyes darted around.

Smiling evilly.

They confiscated all the "weapons" of the General of the Servants, the Commander of the Slashing Blades, and the Foot Soldier of the Horse Blade on the ground!

Especially the great sword of General Pudao.

This is the "leadership certificate".

"哓GA!"

Let's see how you fight now!
I'll take these to Hammer Girl and have her forge me a set of armor!
So happily decided!
"Alright, alright, Gengar, calm down. Do you think you can break this seal?" Jinghe soothed.

The degree of loosening of the seal here is different from that of the ancient Jianwo. The seal here only loosened after the ancient Jianwo was revived, but the affected area is obviously not large, indicating that the degree of loosening of the seal is not significant.

Forcibly opening it might be quite troublesome.
