Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 769 Lakuya Elements!
Suicune?

Judging from appearance alone, the Pokémon roaring and howling under the waterfall does indeed have a 70-80% resemblance to Suicune, the "incarnation of the North Wind" in legend.

But it's not Suicune, but...
“Rippling water,” Jing He said softly.

"Rippling water?"

Shirona, Adou, and Tsubaki all looked at Jinghe with confusion.

The patriarch of the dragon trainer family, the father of the Eight Heavenly Kings, also looked at Jing He.

However, his eyes showed not confusion, but surprise.

"Teacher Jinghe also recognizes this Pokémon?"

This really surprised the old man.

Putting everything else aside, if this wave were to go out, over 90% of people would assume it's Suicune, and the remaining 10% would know it's not Suicune, but most likely wouldn't know what kind of Pokémon it is.

Theoretically speaking, this is a Pokémon from ancient times, or rather, a paradoxical Pokémon.

Uh… Jing He, who had subconsciously uttered the name “Bo Dang Shui”, paused for a moment, then laughed:

"This is the first time I've seen it. I've seen it mentioned in an ancient book before."

"The Book of Zhu"?

The Book of Zhu was written by a naturalist named Heinrich Heytzer, who was also the first person to enter the deepest part of the Padia Pit more than two hundred years ago.

It contains a great deal of bizarre information, making one wonder if Hetzer was just creating a sensation. For a long time afterward, the Book of Zhu remained an inconspicuous and bizarre novel in the Parthian region.

Nowadays, few people remember "The Book of Zhu". Jing He is not sure whether the book is now in the library of Orange Academy or in the possession of Bai Leiya, a descendant of Hai Zhe.

Even Jinghe wasn't sure if there was only the "Book of Vermilion" or if there was a corresponding "Book of Purple," each corresponding to a Pokémon's "Vermilion and Purple."

Jing He smiled but did not give a clear answer.

You can't exactly say you've played the game "Pokémon Red/Purple", can you?

But in the old man's eyes, it was practically tantamount to tacit agreement.

Teacher Jinghe has such a wide range of knowledge; no wonder he is a respected teacher.

It seems so.

After talking with Teacher Jinghe, my son still chose to become a teacher, which is not necessarily a bad choice.

"That's right, this is indeed not Suicune, but Ripple, a Dragon-type Pokémon," the old man sighed.

Dragon-type Pokémon?
Rippling water?
A-Du and Xiao-Chun looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ripple, a paradoxical Pokémon of Water and Dragon types, most likely originated from the Padia Crater, but Ripple appears here.
Perhaps, long ago, the Dragon Tamer family had already tamed the Waves.

After all, more than a hundred years ago, Lucius, one of the adventurers who created Team Explorers, had one of his six Pokémon, Flareon, an ancient Pokémon whose appearance was similar to Entei.

Looking at the raging waves, Jing He frowned slightly and said:
"It is..."

"Has Teacher Jinghe already figured it out?"

The old man nodded slightly and explained, "Although Bodangshui wasn't subdued by our dragon tamer family, it actually has a very friendly relationship with us. In the past, when there was nothing else to do, Bodangshui would stay here."

It's similar to Dragonite in the "Dragon Sanctuary" of Lance and his dragon-riding clan, and those dragon-type Pokémon are pretty much the same, right?
The only difference is that Dragonite and others are Pokémon left behind by the older generation of the Dragon Tamers, while Wander is a Dragon-type Pokémon that has established a friendly relationship with them.

The old man then continued:

"But after Bo Dang Shui went out last time and came back, he became like this. Not only did he become extremely irritable, but he also became very difficult to communicate with. However, he is not impossible to communicate with, it's just..."

Jinghe continued:
"They just instinctively follow their original way of life, but I estimate no one can get close. And although they don't cause any random destruction, anyone who gets close might be attacked."

"That's right!"

The old man looked at Jinghe in surprise.

Can you tell the general condition of the ripples just by looking at them?

Is this the person Professor Oak called the "Pokémon Mind Master"?

"Does Teacher Jinghe know what happened to the rippling water?"

Jinghe's expression was strange.

According to his statement, the rippling water perfectly fits the description of one situation: mating.

But.
"Well, we need to observe further."

The old man said again, "Actually, there is another reason why I want Hachisaku to come back, which is for the sake of Bodangshui."

"You want Mr. Hachisaku to subdue the Bodang River?" Jinghe asked in a guessing tone, but her expression seemed very confident.

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded. "I don't know if this will calm the turbulent waters down, but it's just another option to try."

That makes some sense.

Otherwise, Mr. Hachisaku has been one of the Four Heavenly Kings for so many years, and only now is he thinking of calling him back.
"If Teacher Jinghe can calm the turbulent waters, my dragon tamer family will repay you handsomely!"

appease?

If the water is truly in heat, how do we appease it?

Should we cut it off?

Of course, if it's not estrus, then the problem might be more serious.

at the same time.

"Genga?"

Gengar had already stealthily crept up to the vicinity of the rippling water.

Because the sharp-eyed ghost has already noticed that under the waterfall where the water ripples, or rather in the pool where it usually lives, there seem to be a few scales that have fallen off!

If it's a Dragon-type Pokémon, then these are dragon scales.

Good stuff
"Roar--!!"

But as Gengar bent down to pick it up, it discovered that Water's bloodshot eyes had suddenly fixed on it.

"Gen, genga~"

Gengar put its hands behind its back, grinned, and gently waved towards the rippling water.

Hey there!
"Roar!!"

With a roar, the water surged and crashed against Gengar, creating a spray of water as it hurtled towards the creature.

In the blink of an eye, the rippling water had already reached Gengar.

So fast?
Fortunately.

Gengar is faster, and immediately dives down.

Gulu gulu gulu——

He scooped up a few scales from underwater and disappeared into the shadows.

"Roar!!"

The surging water roared angrily.

hum-

Inside the cave, the temperature suddenly began to soar, and a feeling of a bright, sunny day suddenly filled the cave.

Sunny day!
It's also interesting to say.

Despite being a Water/Dragon type Pokémon, Ripple seems to prefer sunny days.

The reason is simple: the nature of undulating water is "ancient activity".

[Ancient Vitality: When a Pokémon with this ability is holding 'Driving Power' or the weather is 'Sunny Day', its highest stat (excluding HP) will receive a 30% boost!]

However, if the strongest ability is "speed", the increase will be fifty percent!

If Jinghe remembered correctly, the most powerful skill of Bodangshui should be its special attack.

But given the speed it just demonstrated...
Not right.

Something is very wrong!

Jinghe frowned.

The old man seemed surprised as well. He looked at the rippling water, opened his mouth, and asked, "What?"

"You've become stronger?" Jing He seemed to be asking, but she seemed to already have the answer in mind.

The old man took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

Although Bodangshui displayed its strength upon its return, it quickly returned to the cave. The old man was not present at the time, and those present could not discern the change in Bodangshui's strength, so they were not very clear about this.

While the rippling waters were still controlling the weather, venting their anger, and searching for Gengar, Jinghe asked earnestly:

"Grandpa, do you know where Bodangshui went after leaving the dragon tamer family?"

Upon hearing this, the old man smiled helplessly, "We really don't know much about it. We only know that the water from the ripples flows into the Big Pot Lake every now and then."

"As for where it went after entering Daguo Lake, or whether it left Daguo Lake at all, we have no idea."

Lake Dag is not only the largest inland lake in the Padiya region, but also has a very complex waterway network with various branches that can be said to spread throughout the entire Padiya region.

Even if you go along the waterway, the ripples can go anywhere.

Not to mention that if the ripples flow onto the shore, they can go even further.

Ask three questions.

Jinghe was speechless.

They know absolutely nothing, yet they dare to hire someone to handle the problem.

Now it seems highly likely that Bodangshui is not in heat, which makes the problem even more complicated.

But anyway.
Subduing it first won't be a problem!

Jinghe swept his hand across his waist and tossed out the deluxe ball.

"Go, Nine-Tails!"

"Ouch!!"

A snow-white nine-tailed ice creature appeared in the cave.

Although the Water and Dragon type Water Ripple is a Dragon-type Pokémon that is not afraid of Ice-type attacks, the Fairy type's advantage is still very obvious.

In particular, even water-based moves like Ripple are not enough to pose a significant threat to Ninetales.

of course.

More importantly,
"Ouch——"

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox raised its head and let out a soft cry. In an instant, the cave, which had been warming up due to the sunny day, became icy cold, and snowflakes began to fall.

Snowy day!

The snow brought by Ninetales' "Snowfall" ability successfully "covered" the clear, sunny day over the rippling water.

Without clear skies, the "ancient active" properties of the rippling water cannot be utilized.

"Roar!!"

Upon sensing the disappearance of the clear sky, Bodangshui immediately turned its attention to Ice Nine-Tailed Fox.

laugh--

A burst of scorching steam rose from the rippling water, melting the surrounding snowflakes and turning them into a torrent of boiling water that rushed towards Jinghe.

water vapor!
“Nine-tailed Fox.” Jing He waved gently.

"Ouch——"

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox had a cold expression, its nine white tails swaying gently, and its mouth slightly open, exhaling a breath of white air.

hiss--

The scorching steam collided with the extremely cold air, instantly producing a hissing sound.

next second.

The cold air instantly shrouded the steam, carrying the chill of the snowy day, and swept directly across the rippling water.

And when the cold air dissipates, one will see
The surface of the rippling water was covered with a thin layer of ice crystals. It was frozen!
While the Water Wave is also powerful, the Ice Nine-Tails is now a legend!

However, before the Nine-Tailed Fox could reinforce its ice crystals, a burst of water vapor erupted from Bo Dang Shui's body once again.

boom! !

The ice crystals are melting!

"Roar--"

The surging water roared once more, and its form vanished in the blink of an eye.

It was another obviously abnormal speed.

but
boom! ! !
The incredibly fast-moving waves suddenly appeared to the left of Ice Nine-Tails, but its head seemed to have hit a solid and transparent piece of glass, leaving it completely disoriented.

"Roar"

Bodangshui covered her head, her eyes pure and clear, shaking her head incessantly and patting herself hard before she could barely stand.

Good guy.
How many layers of aurora curtain are there?
It actually blocked it directly?

The rippling water left me feeling utterly lost.

The old man from the dragon trainer family standing to the side also had a very interesting expression on his face.

Although I knew that Teacher Jinghe was very talented and had seen her in some live broadcasts, seeing her up close in person was a completely different experience from seeing her on TV, and the shock she brought was also completely different.

The old man was well aware of Bo Dang Shui's strength, and due to some inexplicable reasons, Bo Dang Shui's strength had become even greater than usual.

Although the sunny weather was overshadowed by the snow, ...
It's ridiculous that it can't be breached!
This is.
"A legend?" the old man murmured.

A legend that transcends even the champion!

Moreover, it's an Ice-type and Fairy-type Nine-Tailed Fox.

Even with just this one Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, their dragon tamer family would probably have a hard time taking it down.
Jinghe gently raised her hand.

Gengar and Ninetales barely participated when dealing with the "Disaster Treasure" Pokémon, so it's a bit unfair for them to rely on type advantage to deal with Tumbleweed.

So let's finish this quickly.
"Nine-Tails, freeze-dry!"

"Ouch!"

In an instant, clusters of ice crystals condensed at the feet of the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, while a wisp of frosty white energy slowly blew out from its mouth.

Sudden——

Frosty white air brushes across the rippling water.

On the surface of the rippling water, another layer of ice crystals was formed, which was more solid and clearer than before.

Freeze-dry is an Ice-type move, but it is four times super effective against Ripple, which is a Water/Dragon type!
Generally speaking, Water-type Pokémon have twice the resistance to Ice-type Pokémon, but Freeze-Dry is an exception, which can deal twice the damage to Water-type Pokémon!
In addition, Ice-type is super effective against Dragon-type.
Therefore, the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox's freeze-drying ability is four times more effective against the Raging Water.

This freeze-drying process continues.

The rippling water was frozen directly into ice sculptures.

Lost the ability to fight!

"Ow~"

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox exhaled again, and the ice crystals on Bodang Shui's body were reinforced.

The old man recovered from the shock of Ice Nine-Tails' instant kill of Wave Ripple, took a deep breath, and said, "No wonder it was called the most promising candidate to become the strongest champion."

Before she could finish speaking, the Ice Nine-Tails exhaled again.

"Ow~"

ka ka ka-

The ice crystals on the rippling water were reinforced once again.

The old man: "?"

"Ahem." Jing He coughed lightly, stopping Nine-Tails. "Nine-Tails is almost done."

Look, old man, there are some things you really can't say carelessly. I wouldn't dare to take on the title of "strongest champion".

"Ouch."

Ice Nine-Tailed Fox nodded solemnly.

Although it was still a little worried about what would happen if Bodang broke free of the ice crystals, it obediently stopped moving when it heard Jinghe's words.

Looking at the lifelike rippling water, Adu marveled.

"This guy really looks like Suicune; I never expected him to be a Dragon-type Pokémon."

Not only was A-Du curious about the ripples, but Cynthia and Tsubaki were also curious.

But the most important thing now is the reason why the water has become the way it is now.

Jing He closed her eyes, and Cynthia beside her said:
"Jinghe, be careful."

"Ah."

Waveguides reside in the heart!
Jinghe used the power of waveguides to try to sense the state of the rippling water.

But soon, Jing He's eyes snapped open, and she quickly pulled Shirona's hand back, shouting at the same time:
"Adu, retreat!"

Upon hearing this, A-Du's expression changed immediately. He disregarded everything else, picked up the bewildered Xiao-Chun, and retreated.

The old man: "?"

Click! !

A crack appeared on the ice crystals that were encasing the rippling water around the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Ouch."

Ice Nine-Tail, who was retreating with Jing He, glared.

Just to be on the safe side, we should have reinforced it with a few hundred more layers!
However, Jing He seemed a little too nervous, because after the crack appeared, the rippling water did not break free of its restraints, but instead emitted a pink mist.

"pink?"

Jinghe was stunned when she saw the mist.

Pink
"Jinghe, what's wrong?" Cynthia asked softly, her other hand already gripping the Poké Ball at her waist. If things went wrong, she would summon Garchomp and the others immediately.

With three champions present, not to mention Bodangshui, even if a top-tier god came, he wouldn't have an advantage.

"Pink mist"

Jing He didn't answer Xiluona's question. Instead, he lowered his head and rubbed his chin in thought.

I feel like I vaguely remember it.

Seeing this, Cynthia knew that Jinghe was thinking, so she didn't press him and waited silently.

Seeing that the water ripples hadn't broken free from the ice crystals' hold, the old man breathed a slight sigh of relief and withdrew his hand from the Poké Ball.

call--

"I see!"

Jing He suddenly looked up and said in a deep voice.

Under Cynthia's gaze, he said earnestly, "It's Lakuya element!"

"Lakuya element?" Cynthia looked bewildered.

The old man was the same.

What are Lakuya elements?
Jinghe didn't explain, because the matter was quite complicated.

To be honest, it goes back to the time more than a hundred years ago, to the "Explorers" trio led by Lucius.

Lucius, Gibbon, and Listal formed the "Explorers" team with the goal of conquering Lacoua, the "paradise."

Lucius is the trainer of the "Six Heroes," including a Black Rayquaza.

Jibion ​​is now the president of the Excellence Corporation and the leader of the current "Explorer Team". His strongest Pokémon is a white Zygarde, and he also aims to be a Lacuya.

Listar fell in love with Lucius during their exploration. Riko, one of the main characters in Pokémon Horizon, is her descendant. Also, the legendary Pokémon Tarebagos, which is related to the crystallization of the Padia region, is actually her Pokémon.

These three each possessed a mythical beast, two of which were even Shiny!

A black Rayquaza, a white Zygarde, and a Taleborg.

This lineup is simply invincible.

The "Explorer Team" formed by the three did eventually find the "paradise" Lakuya and discovered a large number of Lakuya elements within it.

It was precisely because of the Lakuya element that the three members of the "Explorer Team" had a conflict.

Because of the Lakuya element, Pokémon become frenzied, which increases their strength but also harbors hidden dangers.

Therefore, Lucius believed that the Lacuja elements should not leave the "Paradise" and appear in the eyes of the world.

However, Zibeon believes that Lacuya elements can make Pokémon stronger, and as long as their negative effects are controlled, they can benefit the entire Pokémon world, so they should make use of them.

that's it.

The two started fighting.

Ultimately, Lucius and Listal joined forces to seal away "Paradise" and its Lacuja elements, with only a small portion being taken away by Gibbon.

During this time, Gieberon's Zygarde sensed the threat of the Lakuya element. Ignoring Gieberon's orders, he separated cells to prevent the spread of the Lakuya element, further solidifying the seal.

Later, through Zibeon's research, he discovered that Lacuya elements could not only make Pokémon stronger, but also extend their lifespan!

This is why Gibbon of Excellence is still alive today.

The state that Bodang Water previously exhibited did indeed resemble that of being affected by the Lakuya element.

More importantly, the pink mist it released after being defeated by the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox almost confirmed Jing He's suspicions.

just
How did the waters of Bodang become infected with the Lakuya element?
It was clearly sealed away long ago by Lucius and his six Pokémon, along with all the power of Taleborg.
Could it be that the seals on Lucius and Taleborgs have loosened?
Did this cause the Lakuya element to escape again?

But Zygarde's cells would prevent the escape of Lakuya elements.
Or.

Did Bodang Shui encounter either Gibbon or someone from the Excellence Company?
Jinghe is really angry right now. Before he came to the Pokémon world, Pokémon Horizon hadn't even finished updating.

"It's alright now." Jing He pressed his hand down and said to Ice Nine-Tail, "Nine-Tail, release Wave Ripple."

He has many questions in his mind, and perhaps when Bodangshui wakes up, he can get some answers.

"Is...is everything alright?" The old man was still somewhat uncertain.

But Cynthia and Nine-Tails absolutely believed Jing He's words.

"Ow~"

The Ice Nine-Tailed Fox murmured softly, and the ice crystals that had frozen the rippling water melted away rapidly.

"Is the problem serious?" Seeing Jing He's serious expression earlier, Cynthia finally asked.

"I don't know either," Jing He said, shrugging.

This time, he truly couldn't be sure.

but.
If it involves Lakuya elements, the "Explorers" team, or Gibéon, it will definitely not be easy to handle.

But.

Once you've inquired about the turbulent waters and have a general idea of ​​the direction, there's no need to worry too much.

As he spoke, he looked at A-Du and Xiao-Chun, and teased them playfully:
"Oh, you're still holding her?"

Just now, A-Du subconsciously picked up Xiao Chun and stepped back, and hasn't put her down yet.

Xiaochun's face instantly turned pink, and she tightly gripped Adu's neck with both hands.

"Oh, I was so busy being on guard and listening to you that I forgot." A-Du laughed, put down Xiao Chun, and scratched his head with a smile.

Xiaochun: "?"

Are you letting it go just like that?
Cynthia couldn't help but laugh at Ayarko's behavior.

Jing He shook her head, looking disgusted, and said:

"No wonder you're single, A-Du."
