Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 772 The Power of the Forest

[Jinghe, wake up! Jinghe, wake up!]

Early in the morning, Jinghe was awakened from her sleep by a lively voice.

I instinctively reached for the cherry fruit on the bedside table, then realized I didn't need it.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a cute little face, leaning close to me, looking full of energy.

Seeing Jirachi in this state, Jinghe couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It’s rare.

The morning "wake-up service" wasn't Gengar.

Last night, we woke up Jirachi. The little guy was full of energy as soon as he woke up. He not only cuddled with Jinghe, but also made many new friends.

For example, there's the gentle Cynthia, the stubborn Garchomp, the goofy Tyranitar, the queenly Scyther, the fanged Victini, and the shy Marshadow.
This made Jirachi extremely happy.

In addition, having slept for so long, they seemed to have unlimited energy, which caused Gengar and the others' "adventure plan" to fail last night.

but.

This also indirectly shows that the cosmic power carried by the meteorite summoned by Eternatus can indeed serve as Jirachi's power to revive it.

Just don't know.

How long can the cosmic power within that meteorite keep the little guy awake?
Thinking of this, Jinghe couldn't help but rub the little guy's head and pinch its soft, bread-like cheeks.

[Jinghu, wake up, Jinghu (pinches cheek)]

Jinghe laughed heartily, "Okay, get up!"

In any case, while Jirachi is awake, take it out to play and see things it has never seen before.

Really can't do
Since the meteorite summoned by Mugenta is useful to Jirachi, we can always go find it again later!
If we beat it up a couple of times, we might be able to summon another meteorite like that.

Take ten thousand steps back.

We also have so many Pokémon friends who can enter space, such as Rayquaza, Deoxys, Solgaleo, Lunala, and so on.

One day we will find meteorites rich in cosmic energy again.

Wait until the time comes.
Jirachi might no longer be a "once-in-a-millennium" event, but rather appear every few years, months, or even less!

[Jinghe, everyone, let's play together!]

Jirachi floated out of the tent and greeted everyone happily.

Apart from the rather shy Marshadow who always hid in the shadows, the other little guys got along quite well with Jirachi.

After all, she is such a simple and lively little guy, and she won't try to "pull" a Pokémon by force. She will play with this one and then find another to play with.

And the one that Jirachi gets along with best is naturally the equally mischievous and lively Gengar.

It's fair to say that Jirachi learned many of its "quirks" from Gengar.

Also.

Jirachi and Victini also get along very well, perhaps because they have both experienced loneliness, or perhaps because they are both full of energy.

"Jirachi, Victini, Marshadow, and Meltan, a big fan of Hammer Girl, that makes four Mythical Pokémon already." Jing He counted on her fingers.

Before you knew it, you had either caught or established friendly relationships with four Mythical Pokémon in your family.
Fortunately.

These little creatures don't have big appetites; they're much easier to raise than those mythical beasts.

Rayquaza, Giratina, the Black and White Dragons—they all eat more than the last.

"They're so energetic," Cynthia said with a smile, watching Jirachi and Victini float around.

"After all, it takes a thousand years to wake up and seven days to wake up."

"That's what Jinghe said after she finished making breakfast."

"Well"

The thought that this lively and adorable little guy could only awaken for seven days every thousand years made Cynthia feel sorry for him.

Let's play together! Jinghe, Cynthia, come play with me!

Jirachi waved happily at the two of them.

Jinghe smiled and said, "Have breakfast first, Jirachi. After breakfast, we'll take you out to play."

Upon hearing this, Jirachi's eyes immediately sparkled like stars, and his little head pounded like a pestle.

【Yay! Let's go out and play! Let's go out and play!】

Last time, because Jirachi woke up suddenly, Jinghe only took it to play in the Battle Frontier for a few days.

This time.

I want to go to farther places, see more different scenery, and meet more different and interesting Pokémon.

This does not conflict with Jinghe and the others' special training plan.

Our first stop was Milifa.

Autumn Fireworks Festival!

Milifa City.

【Wow--】

Jirachi looked around with a face full of curiosity.

Milifa is a town with a long history, and you can see buildings with an old historical feel all over the city, although most of them have been renovated.

Moreover, although Milifa is surrounded by vast forests, the town is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities.

After all, vast forests mean more wild Pokémon, and more wild Pokémon mean more trainers, and more Pokémon-related organizations and facilities.

I've heard that there are several sizable companies in Milifa City, some researching wild Pokémon, some researching forest plants, and others researching various products found in the forest.

The city of Milifa is most famous for its fireworks festival.

Therefore, with the fireworks festival approaching, many trainers came to visit.

In addition, with the recent "Pokémon Masters World Championships", you can see trainers battling each other almost everywhere on the streets and in training grounds.

of course.

With more people, you'll inevitably see a variety of vendors and stalls.

【what is that? 】

Jirachi, who had been curious about everything since boarding the plane, immediately floated over when he saw a boy picking up trash on the street.

"W-what?"

The man clearly didn't recognize Jirachi and was startled when Jirachi suddenly appeared beside him.

Fortunately, Jirachi didn't look scary, so it quickly recovered and asked with a smile:

"Do you have any trash to throw away? You can throw it in my tattered bag."

"Break~"

A tattered, goofy-looking bag next to him waved at Jirachi.

【Rubbish?】

Jirachi bit his finger, looked at the "longing" look in the tattered bag, and then at his other hand.

Do you want trash?

As it spoke, Jirachi gently waved its hand, and a mysterious power emanated from its body.

Upon seeing this, Jinghe's eyes twitched, and she quickly ran over and hugged Jirachi.

Interrupt the spellcasting!

If Jirachi were to grant his wish and summon a whole bunch of junk, that would be a real problem.

"Excuse me." Jinghe pried open Gengar's mouth, dug out a bag of trash left over from their previous camping trip, and fed it to Broken Bag.

"Break~"

He stuffed the tattered bag directly into his body, looking very happy.

Upon witnessing this scene, Jirachi looked enlightened.

So this is what kind of garbage it is.

"Don't use your wish-granting abilities carelessly, Jirachi," Jinghe cautioned.

[Aww]

Jirachi remembered what Jinghe had told it when it woke up last time.

A wish only has meaning if you fulfill it yourself.

A wish fulfilled out of thin air will not be cherished.

"Of course, if someone really needs help, we can offer some assistance within our capabilities," Jinghe instructed the bewildered little one.

[They truly need help.]

Jirachi perked up again, randomly picking a passerby to follow, and asked:
Do you need help?

Does anyone need help?

Jinghe rubbed his forehead.

"Excuse me, are you Teacher Jinghe?"

At this moment, the boy collecting garbage with the tattered bag seemed to finally recognize Jing He and asked with surprise and uncertainty.

"Um, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Jing He covered her face and "fled".

"Did you mistake me for someone else?" The boy didn't chase after him, but continued collecting garbage.

What might be just trash to others is food for the boy and his tattered bag.

"It would be really nice to keep a tattered bag as a pet."

Jinghe couldn't help but think.

They have very low food requirements and can also help with garbage disposal.
Apart from the smell of the tattered bag and the possibility of toxic gas being released at any moment, everything was so "perfect".

"Jinghe~"

When she returned to Cynthia's side, she suddenly called out softly.

"Ok?"

"Want to eat."

Cynthia gestured to the stall not far away.

The busy vendor and his Double Plus Ice are busily making ice cream.

Seeing this, Jing He was speechless for a moment, then laughed and said, "I'll go buy it for you right away."

Not a moment.

Jinghe, Cynthia, and other Pokémon like Gengar and Jirachi continued strolling around Milifa City, each carrying an ice cream cone.

while walking.

We arrived at the central square of Mirifa.

At this moment, a lot of equipment for the fireworks festival had already been set up here, and some staff members and Pokémon were busy working on it.

The fireworks display is still two days away, but preparations have already begun to ensure its perfect execution.

A large crowd had gathered around, all eagerly awaiting the start of the fireworks display.

After looking around and showing Jirachi around Milifa City for a while, Jinghe and the others went to the Pokémon Center and checked in.

After that, the two prepared for special training outside.

The next day.

Outside the city of Milifa, in the forest of Okoya.

If you are an academic trainer, you will inevitably need to be careful when you go out in the wild, because even the slightest disturbance can trigger your anxiety.

But for Jing He and Xiluona, both champions who have already traversed the "Road to Champions," even the most dangerous outdoor environment wouldn't pose much of an obstacle.

Not long after leaving Milifa City, the two arrived deep in the Okoya Forest.

"Let's begin the special training." After the two arrived at a clearing deep in the forest and set up their tents, Cynthia extended an invitation to Jinghe.

Compared to training with wild Pokémon, Cynthia actually values ​​training with Jinghe more.

Jinghe looked bitter.

Is this special training for the Pokémon or for myself?
"Green Vine Snake," Jing He called out.

"Shinni!"

The green vine snake flashed and appeared in front of Jing He.

When Cynthia saw that Jinghe's first weapon was the Green Vine Serpent, she was slightly taken aback.

I thought it would be a battle between Gengar and Garchomp, but I didn't expect Jinghe to send out Snivy first.

but
There's still plenty of time for special training, so starting with the Green Vine Snake isn't wrong.

Exhale gently.

Cynthia abandoned her usual girlfriend persona, adopting a serious and focused expression, perfectly embodying the aura of a champion.

The trench coat billowed as she tossed out a Poké Ball.

What followed was Tokkiss!
Jinghe grinned.

We suffered a loss.

They should have summoned Pokémon together, but now their stats are at a disadvantage.

Then we'll see if the Serpent can resonate with this forest and withstand Togekiss's Air Blade.

If you give Viper a chance, it can use Leaf Storm twice to strengthen itself, and even Togekiss will find it hard to withstand it.

The two looked at each other.

Almost at the same time.

"Pokémon, electromagnetic wave!"

"Green vine snake, green grass field!"

The two began their special training.

the other side.

The Pokémon that hadn't undergone special training wandered around, especially Gengar and Jirachi.

[Gengar, let's play! Let's play together!]

Kira cried out.

This forest is full of Pokémon it has never seen before.

"哓GA!"

Gengar patted his chest.

Come on! I'll take you on an "adventure"!
[Explore! Explore!]

Gengar, carrying Jirachi, quietly disappeared into the forest.

boom! !

It didn't take long.

Suddenly, the sound of Pokémon colliding echoed through the forest.

"Gengar~" Gengar made a "shh" gesture towards Jirachi, and the shadow enveloped Jirachi, hiding it.

【whee!】

Jirachi covered its mouth, revealing Gengar's signature wicked grin, with a hint of thieving joy.

When the two little ones got closer, they took a look.

It turns out that an Octopus Warrior and a Bully Panda are fighting, surrounded by many wild Pokémon that seem to be trying to break up the fight.

Gengar and Jirachi, hiding in the shade, watched with great interest.

Clashes between wild Pokémon are common; they may fight over territory, food, mates, and so on.

However, just as Gengar and Jirachi were wondering why they were fighting, a figure swung on vines and quickly approached from afar, landing beside Politoed and Octopus Warrior.

"Genga?"

【people?】

They initially thought it would be a Pokémon, but to Gengar and Jirachi's surprise, it turned out to be a human.

However, the other person looked like a savage, with his bare upper body smeared with an unknown white dye, wearing a tattered linen skirt, and with withered but tough vines wrapped around his wrists. He looked to be about ten years old.

The man quickly ran between the bully panda and the octopus martial artist, grabbed one in each hand, and tried to forcibly separate them.

At the same time, he was calling out, "Saru! Saru!"

Eh?
Gengar and Jirachi exchanged a glance.

It just felt even stranger.

They are clearly human, but if we use human language, neither of them can understand.

But what they were speaking was the language of Pokémon, and Gengar and Jirachi both understood it!
What surprised Gengar and Jirachi even more was that the human's small body actually seemed capable of separating Politoed and Octopus Warrior.

What a strength!
"Saru!"

In the shade of the trees.

"Genga." Gengar rubbed its chin.

This person's strength is almost comparable to Jing He's.

Jinghe, are you strong?

Kirachi exclaimed in surprise.

Is Jinghe really that strong?
Gengar nodded seriously and said, "Jinghe could lift me up with one hand."

Jirachi looked shocked, his emotional value maxed out.

boom! boom! !

At this moment, the boy finally separated the bully panda and the octopus martial artist, and said:

"Why are you fighting?" (Translated from Gengar and Jirachi)
Then, at the prompting of the bully panda and the octopus martial artist, they noticed the messy ground with its destroyed fruit and food.

"Saru." The boy stood frozen in place upon seeing this.

While there is plenty of food in the forest, there are even more wild Pokémon, so food is always a scarce resource.

This area has many wild fruit trees, which are almost ripe and ready for everyone to share and have a good meal, but they have been destroyed like this.

more importantly.
The boy picked up a fruit that had been bitten and discarded on the ground, and that had been trampled on. He immediately knew who had done it.

"Roar!!"

"Guru!!"

The bully panda and the octopus martial artist started arguing again.

"Saru!" the boy called out to them again.

Don't say it.

Despite being a human, and aside from having decent strength, he didn't seem particularly powerful, yet he managed to stop the bully panda and the octopus martial artist from arguing.

"Genga?"

suddenly.

Gengar, hidden in the shadows, looked up at the towering trees not far from the boys.

See you soon.

They were several special Pokémon that looked like monkeys, with black fur, gray fur on their chests and backs forming special patterns that were almost identical to the pattern on the boy's chest. Green vines were wrapped around their wrists, and there were seeds on their backs and heels.

They were in the distance, watching the boy and the wild Pokémon with a mocking look.

Their laughter was quite loud, which caught the boy's attention.

"Saru!"

It's you!
The boy glared angrily.

If Jinghe were here, she would recognize that these black, monkey-like Pokémon are the Mythical Pokémon Zarude!
The Zarudes seemed quite disdainful of the boy's angry glare, with the particularly strong Zarude taking several steps forward as its leader.

"Saru!"

Coco, this is a lesson we, your "elders," are passing on to you; it's the law of survival in the forest!

Coco is the boy's name.

"Saru!" Coco was furious and stepped forward in a monkey-like posture, looking like she wanted to fight.

This behavior, on the contrary, aligned with Sarud's ideas.

It grinned maliciously and moved forward again.

"Saru!"

Do you want me to teach you how to fight?

At this time.

A vine flew swiftly by, and another Zarude arrived, but this Zarude had a pink cloak draped over its back, making it look particularly strange.

It stood between Coco and the leader of the Zarude.

The leading Zarude seemed somewhat wary of the one cloaked in pink, baring its teeth and displaying a ferocious expression, but did not rush forward rashly.

"Zarold!" Zard, who rarely saw the pink cloak, immediately went over and called out.

Father!

Gengar and Jirachi exchanged another glance.

Did you hear me wrong?

A human actually calls a Pokémon "Dad"?

boom! !

In the instant they stared at each other in surprise, the pink-cloaked Zarude collided with the strong Zarude.

"Genga."

This scene was quite interesting!
"Shinni!"

The Green Vine Serpent gasped for breath, barely managing to dodge Togekiss's Air Blade using the flexibility of its vines.

The elemental advantage, the strength advantage, and the aerial advantage made the battle between Togekiss and Viper much easier than expected.

But the Green Vine Snake showed no sign of giving up.

He exhaled a large breath of white air, but a faint wisp of air mixed with a hint of emerald green was inhaled.

hum-

A healing and forest-like energy gradually emanated from the Green Vine Serpent's body.

Is this a coincidence?

Jing He raised an eyebrow.

But at this moment, the Green Vine Snake looked surprised and astonished, stood up, and looked in one direction.

"Sini?"

Seeing this, Cynthia and Togekiss did not seize the opportunity.

After all, it's special training, and it's not about determining a winner or loser. The process is much more important than the result.

However, the Green Vine Snake, who had been focused, suddenly became distracted, which surprised them.

Jing He was the same. Following the gaze of the Green Vine Snake, he could only see a vast forest and a hazy mist, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the distance.

"What's wrong, Green Vine Snake?" Jinghe asked.

“Hiss.” The Green Vine Snake murmured.

The power of the forest.
