Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 779 Jing He is challenged!

On this day, the eyes of the world were focused on the Palace Arena in the Parthian region.

This stadium, which is currently arguably the largest in the world, is packed with spectators from all over the globe; even describing it as a sea of ​​people seems an understatement.

The "Master Swap Battle" of the Pokémon World Masters Championship is about to take place here!

If the previous "double-elimination tournament" was a warm-up for the "Pokémon World Masters Championship", then the "Masters Swap Tournament" stage marks the start of the main tournament.

The Olympic flame burned brightly above the arena. Amidst the cheers of the crowd and the intense attention of everyone, the large screen hanging high above the arena displayed sixteen "Master Ball" level players and sixteen "Advanced Ball" level players!

The cheers were like a tsunami; the audience was already in a frenzy even before the contestants took the stage.

"It's best not to choose me," Jinghe muttered to herself as she sat in the lounge, arms crossed.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that it's troublesome.

"Dan Di hasn't arrived yet?" Adu, wearing a cloak and a red and blue champion's outfit, looked around the rest room and noticed that someone was missing.

"They've probably gotten lost again," said Cibana calmly, watching the live stream on his phone.

It's normal for Dan Di to be late; he always manages to arrive in his own special way before the deadline.

The contestants in the lounge were also divided into several groups.

A group of young people, including Adu, Jinghe, Shirona, Karuno, Kona, and Chibana, sat together.

Meanwhile, the older generation, including Kikuko, Adek, Liu Bo, and Ma Shide, rarely met and chatted.

There are also Dr. Kukui, who disguised himself as a royal masked man, and Pioni, the former Padiya champion, who are quite close to each other.

Dr. Kukui wants to learn from former champion Pione how to be a regional champion, and from Yaji how to manage a region.

However, Dr. Kukui's plan was clearly flawed.

When Pione was the champion, Lóz handled everything in the Galar League, so he didn't have much to do on a regular basis.

As for Ye Ci, her attention was mostly focused on "Gibbon".

Such a young "Gibbon"?
Seemingly noticing Yeci's attention, "Gibbon" smiled slightly at her.

In the lounge, only Gibion ​​and Sakaki were there, each sitting alone in their own seats.

Sakaki closed his eyes, appearing to be resting.

Jinghe originally wanted to chat with Boss Sakaki, but seeing his expression, she decided to give up for the time being.

Let's wait until nighttime when no one is around.
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, a change appeared on the central screen.

"Here they come! Time to choose your opponents!"

"The first one is King Shiba, right?"

"It's a pity for Shiba Inu. He was ranked sixth in the 'Advanced Ball' category, but the top five directly advanced to the 'Master Ball' category."

Who will the King of Sheba choose?

The order in which opponents are selected in the "Master Swap Battle" is also based on the points ranking in the points tournament.

"The Kanto region is still strong." Jing He clicked her tongue as she looked at the image of King Shiba on the screen.

The Kanto Alliance only has three Elite Four members: Kikuko, Lorelei, and Shiba.

They've all made it to the World Championship.

Moreover, Kikuko and Kona have directly entered the "Master Class" level.

If we add Wataru, who holds the title of one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto Alliance but is actually the champion of the Johto Alliance, then all four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region have at least entered the "Master Swap Battle" stage!
It's an exaggeration.

“Hoennium isn’t bad either,” Cynthia said, dressed in an elegant black coat, legs crossed, looking quite energetic.

Hoenn?

Jing He was taken aback.

Reacted immediately.

There are four of us now: myself, Daigo, Genji, and Michael!

And
Including myself, three out of the four of us are champions!
"Fengyuan is truly teeming with talent," Jinghe exclaimed.

at the same time.

On the big screen, the avatars of the "Master Ball" players disappeared one by one, until only Ma Shide, Master Ma, remained!
"Masters Swap Positions" Round 1: Shiba vs. Masd!
There was an uproar.

Unexpectedly, the King of Shiba chose Master Masdeh.

Jing He hadn't expected this either.

"I thought it would be Adu." Jinghe glanced at Adu, who had her arms crossed, and then looked at Master Ma, who was wearing an Alora beach shirt and doing basic stretching exercises.

Everyone previously thought that Masde would do the same thing as before, finish the "points race" and improve his ranking, then give up on the remaining matches.

Surprisingly, Masdeh chose to continue the competition this time.

Adu laughed and said, "That was one of Shiba's idols when he was young."

Jinghe then remembered that Shiba was a fighter, and when it came to fighters, Master Mashdma held an extremely high position in the hearts of fighters throughout the entire Pokémon world.

"However, it won't be easy to fight."

Shiba and Master Ma, Jinghe had all fought with them. Although none of them used their full strength at the time, Master Ma's martial arts were indeed legendary. Judging from his strength, he was probably not a legend, but he was very close to the legendary level.

more importantly.

In addition to Fighting-type Pokémon, Shiba's main Pokémon also include quite a few Rock-type Pokémon.

It is at a disadvantage in terms of attributes.

Without any unnecessary words, the "Masters Swap Battle" officially began at the Palace Arena under the world's spotlight.

The battle between Shiba and Master Ma has entered a heated phase.

"Shiba has sent out his signature Pokémon, Machamp!!"

The commentator shouted hoarsely, "How will Shiba and the Mighty Warriors cope with Master Ma's relentless, storm-like attacks!"

Shiba's choice is naturally
"Super strength, let your opponent taste why you're called 'Super Strength'!"

Faced with the "combo attack" technique, Shiba decisively chose a head-on, brutal offensive.

Defense?

nonexistent!

One-hit combos are the worst, but also the best, way to break combo combos.

"Hahaha--"

Seeing Shiba's enthusiastic expression, Master Ma burst into laughter.

He knew this year's Pokémon World Masters Championship would be very interesting.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a thrilling battle during the "Master Switching Battle" stage.

Although the heart was old, the blood flowing through it was still hot!

"Go, Martial Arts Bear Master!" Master Ma withdrew the Combo Style Martial Arts Bear Master and replaced it with the One-Strike Style Martial Arts Bear Master!
Since it's a one-hit-kill style, then naturally we should compete using one-hit-kill techniques.

"I, an old man, will give you the most positive response!" Master Ma said loudly.

"Super Strength, Explosive Fist!"

Shiba's signature move is the "no-defense" ability, the Explosive Punch.

"Martial Arts Master Bear, hold the line!"

Hiba: “?”

Jinghe: "?"

audience:"?"

Master Ma grinned, "Oh dear, I'm getting old."

He immediately waved his hand, "Dark Nether Strike!"

Believing your opponent's words during a battle is a major taboo!

Didn't Jinghe teach you, Shiba?

Even with its "no defense" feature, it couldn't penetrate the defended barrier; Master Ma was indeed cunning and shrewd.

but.

Ultimately, there is still a gap in strength between the two sides, especially when both sides are Fighting-type Pokémon.

Master Ma lived up to his title of "Master," teaching Shiba some skills while successfully maintaining his position as a "master."

In the end, the score was 3-6, with Master Ma having a significant advantage.

After the fight, neither of them lost their temper; instead, they developed a strong sense of friendship despite their age difference.

"Master Ma, braised pork knuckle! I'll treat you to braised pork knuckle, no, I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Lulu~ Shibaba is so generous!"

"Hahaha—of course!"

"Is it enough to feed you?"

"Tube!"

"elbow!"

After the two had determined their winner, they walked off the field together.

The first round of the "Masters Swap Battle" has officially come to a close, which can be considered a good start for this competition.

However, Jinghe estimates
Master Ma won't be able to eat many "angry buns" before he has to come back.

Because he saw Popira's eyes on the screen.

A person's eyes, filled with the urge to kill, cannot be hidden.

after that.

The "Master Swap Battle" continues.

In most cases, even "master-level" players can hold their positions.

"Yet another 'master' has successfully defended his 'throne'!"

The narrator's voice was hoarse, but the audience was still in shock and couldn't recover for a long time.

only because.
Yan Kai, one of the Four Heavenly Kings from the Carlos region, challenges Sakaki, a player who advanced to the "Advanced Ball Class" as the third-place finisher!
Boss Sakaki!

Then they were beaten 6-1 by Boss Sakaki!

Jinghe even seriously suspected that Boss Sakaki ultimately showed some "human touch," otherwise Yan Kai might have been shaved bald.

Jinghe greatly admired Yan Kai's courage.

He truly lives up to the name "Knight," he is indeed brave.

The outcome for Yan Kai also extinguished the thoughts of some people who had been eyeing the "unknown" Sakaki.

to be frank.

Players like Masde, Sakaki, Chibana, and Kona, who were promoted from the top five in the "Advanced Ball" category to the "Master Ball" category, were initially considered easier opponents.

But as Masde and Sakaki demonstrated their abilities, many people had to re-evaluate their choices.

of course.

Some people participate in the "Master Swap Battle" to advance to the round of 16, while others participate purely to face off against opponents they want to play against. Examples include Shiba, Gadria, and Popella.

Ah Ju leaned against the wall, hidden in the shadows of the corner, watching the settlement screen with her eyes slightly narrowed.

Challenging Boss Sakaki?

Legends and champions are not even on the same level anymore, let alone compared to the kings.

Aju also greatly admired Yan Kai's courage.

His gaze swept over the sixteen "master-level" players, looking them over one by one from top to bottom.

Boss Sakaki, Teacher Jinghe, King Kikuko, and Grandpa Liu.
"What a terrifying class!"

Based on his observation, there are at least three people with legendary Pokémon in this Pokémon World Masters Championship!

Compared to those she "knew," Ah Ju's gaze finally settled on the young "Gibbon."

President of Excellence Company?

So young.
"Challenge successful! This is the first contestant to successfully complete the 'Master Swap Battle'!"

The whole place was boiling.

They actually managed to bring down a "master"?
"Congratulations Daigo, you've successfully switched positions!"

Dawu!

"Sigh, I suddenly feel old." Pioni put his hands on his hips, striking a pose of "sighing deeply."

But he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.

"Thanks to Mr. Pioneer for showing mercy," Daigo said modestly.

As trainers who excel at Steel-type Pokémon, Steven's ability to defeat Peony undoubtedly demonstrates that he is stronger than Peony in terms of raw power.

This also means that Daigo truly has the strength to be a champion.

Pioni waved his hand and sighed again, "Never mind, I'll go keep my Xiaxia and Mudan company."

He then prepared to leave.

I don't know if he was genuinely happy or just plain happy.

Daigo's successful challenge gave a boost to the challengers in the position-switching battle.

Jinghe patted her chest lightly in the lounge.

He thought Daigo would challenge him.

It will be difficult to deal with then.

After all, if he wants to hand over the championship to Daigo, shouldn't they have a real fight?

However, Jinghe was not surprised that Daigo was able to advance.

Given Daigo's skill level, very few people in the "Master Ball" category would dare to say they can definitely beat him.

"teacher!"

In the audience, Daigo greeted Jinghe with a smile.

Jinghe patted Daiwu on the shoulder with satisfaction.

That's it.

A "master-level" player is more than enough to win the championship!
In the stands, N, with long green hair, looked at Teacher Jinghe and Senior Daigo and gently adjusted the brim of his hat.

"teacher"

Gongmen City.

The "Master Swap Battle" has a total of 32 players and at least 16 matches, all of which are 6v6 all-player battles, and cannot be completed in a day or two.

On the fourth day of the "Master Swap Battle", Jing He, who was preparing to leave the residential area, met with staff from the Galar Alliance who told him some news.

He's been challenged!
This is the process of the "Master Swap Battle". The contestants can know the challenge in advance, while the audience will only find out when the competition starts.

As for the person who challenged Jinghe, it was N from the Unova region!

N also made quite a name for himself during the "points race" stage of the Pokémon World Masters Championship.

His handsome appearance and gentle personality are one aspect, but they can only win him some fans who are obsessed with looks.

But N has also gained quite a few "battle fans".

only because.
During the "points race" stage, N demonstrated at least ten different tactics, including the four main weather tactics: sunny, rainy, sandstorm, and snowy weather!
To fully execute these tactics, N commanded over forty different Pokémon!
Absolutely no repetition!
This has led many to speculate about just how many Pokémon N has trained and how much resources he has invested.

Later, some people tried to dig deeper into N's identity and background, but the information they obtained was quite limited. In the end, they only learned that N was a student of Teacher Jing He!
As is widely known, Teacher Jinghe is not only a "master of the mind" but also a "master of tactics".

As a student of a "tactical master," it's understandable that N possesses such a deep tactical foundation.

However, Jinghe was somewhat surprised when she learned that N had chosen to challenge her.

There was absolutely no warning.

"You've been challenged?" Cynthia, who was being linked arm-in-arm with Gadriya, asked with interest when she saw the League staff.

Cattleya, on the other hand, seemed somewhat gloating.

She has ended the "Master Swap Battle" because she directly challenged Cynthia, and then
Unsurprisingly, they lost.

"Ah."

Jing He's lips twitched slightly.

"What?! Teacher Jinghe has been challenged?!"

Da Ye burst out of the door.

"Damn it, they beat me to it!"

Holding a book, Wu Song walked past Da Ye and said calmly, "Not every 'master' can only be challenged once. You can continue to challenge Teacher Jing He later."

"Oh right." Da Ye slapped his forehead, but then quickly realized, "Wait a minute, what if Teacher Jing He loses?"

The words were not finished.

Everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Didn't you hear what the league staff said?
The challenger is N, the genius who claims to be a student of Teacher Jinghe and is being trained by the next Unova League champion after the Adeker champion.

Is this a challenge?

This is clearly a test of learning outcomes.

Jinghe, however, was already thinking about something else.

Is Da Ye also going to challenge himself?

Should we... take care of him in the middle of the night?
"哓GA!"

Gengar, who knew Jinghe's thoughts, patted his chest.

This is something I'm good at!
On June 10th, the weather was fine.

Palace City, Galar Region, Palace Arena.

On the big screen, the challenger and the one being challenged are already displayed.

NVS Teacher Jinghe!

Teacher Jinghe has finally been challenged!

Moreover, the challenger is student N.

A battle between teachers and students sounds incredibly exciting.

However, what truly thrilled the entire audience was the appearance of two enormous black shadows above the Palace Arena before the battle even began.

"Then, what is that?!"

"Dragon! It looks like a dragon! Two dragons!"

When did these two powerful dragon Pokémon appear in the Galar region?
will not
Is it Mugentana?!
Crimson flames dyed half the sky red, while the other half was shrouded in dark clouds and thunder.

"Those are the legendary Pokémon of the Unova region! Reshiram, the True Dragon, and Zekrom, the Ideal Dragon!"

"The Black and White Dragons! Aren't those Teacher Jinghe's friends?"

"Holy crap. Is Teacher Jinghe planning to send these two out?"

"But...don't the competition rules say that mythical beasts like the Black and White Dragons can't be used?"

"What a joke! If Teacher Jinghe really wanted to use the power of these mythical beasts, how many people could stop him?"

boom!boom!
The black and white dragons, Reshiram and Zekrom, landed on either side of the arena's upper edge, exchanged a glance, and looked serious.

However, Reshiram and Zekrom merely appeared without doing anything out of line, and even behaved quite well.

"Stop guessing! This contestant N is not only a student of Teacher Jing He, but has also gained the approval of Ideal Dragons' Zekrom!"

"Ah this."

"So, the Black and White Dragons have come."

"You're here to watch the game?!"

The audience was confused.

Two of the legendary first-tier gods, the "Three Dragons of the Way" from the Unova region, have actually traveled all the way from the Unova region to the Galar region to watch the match live.

Is it so exciting?
"I heard that Teacher Jinghe has also gained the approval of the True Dragon Reshiram?"

"Good heavens! A battle between reality and ideals?"

"Reality and ideals? You probably don't know how that ancient kingdom in the Unova region disappeared, do you?"

"That's so exciting!"

The appearance of the black and white dragons, Reshiram and Zekrom, was something even Jing He hadn't expected.

So when he arrived at the arena and saw the two dragons above the huge arena dome, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"You two."

Jinghe looked at Shuanglong.

Czechrom: Will he find out?

Rahiram: Don't worry, this meal is perfectly legitimate! He'd never guess!

Jing He: "."

Have you two forgotten that I'm communicating with you using a waveguide?

Shake his head.

Forget it.

We can use them as "guinea pigs" then.

"Let's go, let me see what kind of surprise N will give me." Jinghe was also a little curious about which Pokémon N would use this time.

"Gen~ga~UU"

Looking at Gengar's appearance, Jinghe laughed:

"Let's go then, Kazegakure."
