Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 784 I am Jing He!
After several days of exciting battles, the "Masters Swap Battle" has officially come to an end.

It must be said that the champions from each region are all very strong, and the older generation of trainers are also very outstanding. The sixteen "Master Ball" level players all deserve the title of "Master".

There are a total of sixteen "Master Ball" level players and sixteen challengers.

Ultimately, only a few people successfully challenged and "rose to the top".

The first one is naturally Daigo, who defeated former Padilla regional champion Pione to win the victory and advance to the Masters level.

The second place was a bit of a surprise. Mr. Kamishiro from the Battle Frontier actually defeated the "Royal Masked Man" and advanced successfully with the invincible power of the three Divine Pillars!
The so-called "royal masked man" naturally refers to Dr. Kukui.

People like Dante and Yeci, who simultaneously hold the positions of league champion and league president, are extremely busy.

Professor Kukui not only serves as the president and champion of the Alola League, but also as the chief Pokémon professor in the Alola region and a teacher at the Pokémon Academy.

That's really
Dr. Barnett is almost nowhere to be seen.

As a result, Dr. Kukui, who was unprepared, ultimately made a mistake and lost.

But Jinghe suspected that he was quite happy, finally having some time to spend with Professor Barnet during the "Pokémon World Masters Championship" holiday.

Dr. Kukui, disguised as the "Royal Masked Man," was the only champion to lose in this "Master Swap Battle."

However, considering the unique circumstances of the Alola region, everyone was able to accept it.

The third person successfully won the challenge.
It's actually a big leaf!

This guy beat Cibaner!
Perhaps it was because he had followed Jinghe for a while and learned a lot that Daye had also learned some of the techniques of the "Sunny Day Team".

A brute who knows "martial arts" is really hard to stop.

It's not exactly a technique, but rather a way of using clear skies to counter the various weather tactics employed by "Weathering With You" Chibana.

In the end, Infernape managed to pull off a stunning comeback by fighting to the death, defeating three opponents in a row, including Raihana's ace Duraludon.

have to say.

Raihana is actually quite strong. If it weren't for Leon suppressing him, Raihana would definitely not just be a gym leader in any region.

Even in regions like Carlos, Alola, and Unova, Zibana is qualified and capable of competing for the championship.

And large leaves.
This is a typical example of someone who becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents. They can fight intensely against weaker opponents and even create life-or-death situations against powerful adversaries.

Even when facing Cynthia, when Bigleaf and his Infernape go berserk, they can easily take on two or three opponents at once.

However, when facing the formidable Garchomp, it was able to steadily suppress it.

Unfortunately, Duraludon has almost no advantage when facing Infernape.

This match was somewhat beyond the expectations of most people.

In a post-match interview, Da Ye said: "Thanks to Chef Jing He's 'specially prepared' food, I feel full of energy."

! !
Teacher Jinghe has once again topped the trending searches.

Jing He, who didn't make it to the top of the trending topics list after winning the game, suddenly became the number one trending topic after Da Ye's game, thanks to an interview.

This made Jinghe feel once again that the world was going to the dogs and people's hearts were no longer what they used to be.

This led to a certain situation.
I'm talking to you guys.

Looking at the large group of people sitting around the table waiting for the meal to start, Jinghe pressed her head, feeling a headache coming on.

"Jinghe, stop talking and serve the food!" Master Ma from Ma's restaurant called out cheerfully.

Under Da Ye's "influence," Jing He's "workload" skyrocketed.

just
Jinghe could barely understand the older generation, such as Ma Shide and Adeke, who had rather easygoing personalities. But why did even King Juzi and Grandpa Liu come?
Are you two the type to freeload meals?
But if you insist that they still have matches to play, you can barely accept that.
Genji, Michael, Gadria, Shiba, Chibana, Darko, N, you guys have all been eliminated, why are you still joining in the fun?
It's a bit of a pity, actually.

Big Leaf defeated Chibana, but Mikeli failed to complete the challenge.

Actually, Michael's best opponent should have been Cora, but Michael chose to challenge Stan Ardek instead, and ended up being "taught a lesson" by the old man.

However, this is also in line with the "trend" of the "Masters Swap Tournament" stage of this "Pokémon World Masters Championship".

With the exception of a few, most challengers choose their opponents with a "casual" approach, playing whomever they want, seemingly without any desire to advance to the "Masters" level.

In fact, Jinghe had considered another possibility.
Perhaps Michael had already guessed that he would hand over the championship to Daigo, and given Daigo's status and personality, he might also give up the title in a year or two. Michael was undoubtedly the best choice.

Is he already deliberately "acting"?

No, it's impossible.

Aside from oneself, no one else could be so thoughtful.

Of course, if we're talking about who's the most "daring," it's definitely Dakto.

Because this guy's opponent was none other than Grandma Kikuko!

When Jinghe learned of this information, she was stunned for three seconds, and then silently gave Dakdo a thumbs up.

Brave, so brave!

I guess it's because he listened to a song called "Courage".

"I promised Darkrai I'd bring it to eat the food you cooked, Teacher Jinghe," Darkrai said with a smile, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

In a sense, Dakdo now has a cooperative relationship with Jinghe and even with Boss Sakaki.

The Pokémon trading cards he promoted have already begun to be launched under the leadership of Rainbow Entertainment, a subsidiary of Rainbow Rocket Group.

And it received a good response.

And Jinghe has rightfully and openly acquired the qualification to print cards.

Despite some surprises and unexpected results, the final sixteen spots for the "Master Ball" level have been confirmed.

They are:
Kikuko, Wataru, Keigo, Cynthia, Adek, Karuno, Dante, Yaji, Ryubo, Sakaki, Korna, Mastedt, Gibone (Spinner), Daigo, Kamishiro, Daiyo.

After today, the official draw ceremony for the Masters tournament will take place tomorrow.

It's said that the draw is completely random and public, but who knows who will be matched up against whom?

Jinghe only hoped that she would never run into Kikuko, Awato, Cynthia, Dante, Yaji, Ryubo, or Sakaki.
Ok?
It seems like there aren't many people I'd like to meet?
Ugh, the opponents in the Masters tournament are all so strong. I don't want to face any of them. What should I do? Can I just withdraw from the tournament?
How about we make an extra spicy version and wreak havoc on everyone here?

the next day.

The Galácticos arena in the Galar region has once again captured the world's attention.

With the conclusion of the "Masters Swap Battle," the Pokémon World Masters Championship has officially entered its final Masters Tournament stage.

And today, the draw for the first round of the Masters tournament will take place here.

The audience seats were still packed, and all the live broadcast channels were also overflowing with viewers.

The host's voice remained as passionate and enthusiastic as ever.

Jing He and many others, along with several eliminated contestants, were waiting in the stands for the draw results to be announced.

"Alright! Without further ado, let's move on to the part everyone's been waiting for: the lottery!"

On the big screen, the avatars of all sixteen contestants flashed, and the countdown timer reached zero under the expectant gaze of everyone.

next second.

Lightning symbols representing battles appeared on the big screen, and group assignments were announced one after another.

The audience held their breath, watching the constantly popping-up avatars, only to find themselves unable to control themselves, bursting into shouts.

【Adu VS Kona】

Cynthia VS Caruno

[Dan Di VS Da Ye]

【Kikuko VS God Generation】

[Liu Bo VS Dawu]

【Yeci VS Adeike】

[Sakaki vs. Masde.]

When Jinghe saw the first three groups, he immediately wanted to shout, "There's something fishy going on!"

Awami and Lorelei? Cynthia and Diantha? Leon and Leona?
Even Jinghe wouldn't believe there wasn't some inside story.

The organizers said it was "completely random"?
We'll catch Dan Di and give him a good beating later.

However, as she read on, Jinghe's heart began to pound.

Leaving aside Grandma Kikuko and Mr. Kamishiro, in the duel between Plum and Steven, Ice type vs. Steel type, Steven seems to have the advantage, but he is Plum after all.

But then I thought, after all, that's Daigo!
After that.

Yonex vs. Adek!
A fierce battle between champions!

What Jinghe is most looking forward to is definitely the match between Boss Sakaki and Master Ma.

Good guy!
This is practically a duel between two genuine "legends," isn't it?

The strength of Boss Sakaki, the strength of Master Ma
Tsk.

Even Jing He couldn't wait to see the Masters Tournament matches; they were so interesting!

and many more!

suddenly.

Jing He suddenly realized what was happening.

One, two, three, four, seven... one group is missing, two people, one of whom seems to be myself. So, who is my opponent?
[Jinghe vs. Gibeon!]

Sure enough, my name was in the last group to be drawn, and my opponent was none other than Spinner!

Jinghe subconsciously looked toward where Spinner was.

They noticed that the other person was also looking at them.

Spiner smiled gently and bowed slightly to Jing He, appearing quite polite and humble.

Jinghe returned an even gentler smile.

They both turned their heads back at the same time, and the smiles on their faces vanished simultaneously.

You are so cute.

Not long ago, I said that Spinner had angered Sakaki and Yaji and that I didn't need to worry about him anymore. Now, in the very first round of the Masters tournament, I'm to face him?

Despite being in a fairly good mood, Jinghe felt a bit uncomfortable after seeing the lottery results.

It's better to fight Big Leaf than Spinell.

It's not that Spinell is that strong.

If we really want to rank them, Spinell's strength is probably the weakest among all the people who made it to the top 16.

Even considering the Pokémon he prepared and the "Lakuya element," Spinner's ranking wouldn't be much higher.

Can.
Toads don't bite, but they're disgusting!
Is this lottery truly random or just a sham?
To be honest, it's random, but there are so many "grudge matches".

But if it's a fake randomness, then why not let President Yeci take down Spinner?

In short.

When he saw that his opponent was Spiner
Jinghe was in a bad mood.

"Genga~"

Gengar could naturally sense Jinghe's feelings, and its eyes darted around.

"Don't do anything reckless." Jing He patted the chubby little boy's head, narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "We'll solve problems on the field."

Since it's disgusting.

Then let's go to the field and teach them a lesson.

After the draw, the timing and schedule of the matches will be determined.

Similar to the "Master Swap Battle" stage, it's a sixteen-to-eight format with a total of eight matches, and all of them are in a rotating format, so it definitely can't be finished in one or two days.

The order and schedule of the matches were soon determined.

Day 1, First Session—

[Jinghe VS Jibeiweng] It's their own turn right from the start.

Now Jinghe is truly certain that there's something fishy about the competition; the claim of it being truly random is just a complete lie.

"Gibbon," no, it should be Spinner, made too many obvious moves when challenged by Aju during the "Masters' Switch" phase.

This time, they simply put his match against Jing He in the first match of the first day, trying to give Spinner as little time to prepare and plan.

It seems.
The league also harbors considerable resentment towards people like Spinner, who dislike you but can't do anything about it.

But it's normal.

After the previous match between Spiner and Aju, there were quite a few negative comments about Spiner and the organizers online.

Someone like Spinner, who relies on a bit of cleverness, a bit of trickery, and a bit of skill, will definitely have a significant negative impact if he acts recklessly in a tournament like the Masters.

There are already quite a few people online who support Jinghe.

Such a one-sided support is rare.

But Spinner is not without supporters, though few of them speak out.

This phenomenon indicates that some people have indeed begun to notice Spiner's methods of enhancing Pokémon, methods that cannot be detected at the moment.

One of Spinner's stated goals has already yielded results.

Besides the discussion about the match between Jing He and Spinner, there was also a lot of online discussion about the other groups.

The "destined showdown" between Aru and Kona, and the match arrangement between the champion sisters Cynthia and Karuno, garnered the most attention among all eight matches.

Dan Di and Da Ye were also accused of "avenging their brothers."

The clash between veteran trainers Kikuko and Shinji, and the "exchange" between the older and younger generations, such as Luffy and Steven.

Each match garnered considerable attention.

In each match, both sides have more or less supporters.

Aside from feeling a little uncomfortable about facing Spinel, Jinghe is generally very much looking forward to this year's "Pokémon World Masters Championship".

The villa garden, which should have been bustling, was unusually quiet tonight.

Jinghe felt a little unaccustomed to the absence of noise.

However, considering that tomorrow is their own match, and that everyone needs some time to prepare after learning their opponents, they all need more or less time to prepare.

Even Cynthia.

When facing Karuno, you also need enough personal time to make some adjustments, arrangements, and preparations.

The Pokémon's status, tactical arrangements, analysis of the opponent's Pokémon and tactical habits, replacement of Pokémon's held items, preparation of boosting methods, etc.

All of these need to be adjusted in advance.

But for Jinghe
There's no need for extensive preparation.

Because of limited knowledge of Spinner, and judging from the situation when the opponent fought against Aju, it is estimated that she will make some unpredictable adjustments.

"That's fine, at least it won't be as tiring."

On a deck chair under the tree, Jinghe admired the moonlight and happily sipped her juice.

Gollum-

Jinghe, who was biting on a straw, raised her eyelids and said, "Come out, it's so late at night."

In the dense canopy of trees, a figure dressed in ninja attire slowly dangles upside down, pulled by a spider web.

The person who arrived was none other than A-Ju.

"Advisor," Aju addressed Jinghe respectfully, referring to him as a member of Team Rocket.

Jing He grinned.

What era are we living in? Still calling people "adults"?

"Would you like some juice?" Jinghe asked, picking up a glass of bright green tree juice from the side.

He then waved, "Hanging upside down for too long can cause cerebral congestion, come down first."

Aju was stunned.

"Yes!"

She landed lightly, standing in front of Jing He without making a sound.

Under the cover of night, Ah Ju's attire, her furtive location, and her behavior made it seem to anyone who didn't know better that Jing He was hiring a hitman.

"Sit down." Jinghe turned around and picked up a small stool, then looked back and found that Aju was already sitting on the grass.

Jing He: "."

Fine.

"So late at night, you want me to 'get revenge' for you tomorrow?" Jing He handed over a juice and asked jokingly.

Honestly.

Jinghe and Aju actually have a pretty good relationship.

The two had exchanged ideas back in Smoky City, and Aju provided considerable help to Jinghe in developing Gengar's Poison-type abilities.

The two occasionally communicate online, mostly with Jinghe asking questions about Poison-type Pokémon.

only.
Lately, A-Ju has found it increasingly difficult to answer some of Jing-He's questions.

For example, if Gengar absorbs Eternatus's poison-type energy, how much will its own poison level increase?

After reading this, A-Ju was completely baffled by the problem.

What is Wuji Tai Na?
Is this a question that a normal human being can answer?

Wearing a mask, A-Ju's expression didn't change much. He simply took out a document from somewhere, along with a hand-drawn map, and placed it in front of Jing-He.

"This is?"

"Excellence Company, 'Giberon' has some arrangements in Palace City, including some Pokémon they have prepared."

Jinghe suddenly realized.

No wonder Spinner was able to make such thorough preparations when facing A-Ju.

It's because of the backing of such a large company as Excellence Corporation and the ancient organization of the Explorers Team.

Those Pokémon might not be top-tier in terms of strength, but with the addition of the "Lakuya element," things are a different story.

"Hmm," Jinghe nodded thoughtfully.

A-Ju asked, "We have quite a few people in the Galar region now, should we take advantage of this?"

He made a ruthless, slashing motion.

Take them out!
Jinghe quickly pressed his hand down and said in a deep voice, "What are you thinking? We're not gangsters now, that's not right. We were never gangsters to begin with."

Under A-Ju's questioning gaze, Jing He coughed lightly.

"Anyway, no need. There's no need to dirty our hands with something like this. We're a legitimate organization now, a legitimate one!"

A legitimate organization?
So what am I in the league?
"Just keep an eye on them and don't let them get away."

Jinghe sipped the juice from the glass, clapped her hands, and stood up.

His expression and demeanor changed instantly, and his voice became more stern as he said:
"Even if he can conjure up all sorts of things, even if he brings over one or more mythical beasts, I'll still pin him to the ground, rub him to the ground, and knead him into shape as I please!"

Turning his head, he looked at Ah Ju, who was sitting on the ground with a somewhat dazed expression, and smiled slightly:

"I am Jing He!"

For a moment.

Aju seemed to see the shadow of Sakaki in his younger days, with his absolute confidence and his awe-inspiring demeanor.

No.

Teacher Jinghe is now even more powerful than Boss Sakaki was when he was young!

If it were Teacher Jinghe to succeed the leader of the Rockets, Aju would be the first to raise both hands in support!

And they will definitely become Teacher Jinghe's most loyal supporters in his rise to power!
A-Ju immediately stood up, ramrod straight like a ninja, and a solemn voice came from beneath her mask.

"Yes!"

Jing He dropped her previous serious expression and reverted to her usual carefree smile.

"Don't be so reserved. He's just a nobody. If you take him too seriously, you'll only lower your own standing."

Ah Ju nodded.

Although he lost the game, it was just a game. If it were in the wild, or even inside a house, Aju could make sure he never saw the sun again.

"that."

Ah Ju suddenly lowered her voice.

"Ok?"

"Teacher Jinghe, you know that our ninja clans are sometimes quite traditional. In order to maintain the continuation of the clan, marriage is a common practice."

"so?"

My younger sister is eighteen years old.

A question mark appeared on Jing He's head.

"If Miss Cynthia doesn't mind, sob sob."

Jinghe was shocked.

She quickly stepped forward and covered Ah Ju's mouth, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

Don't want to die? !
Even if you are Ah Ju, no matter how good your stealth is, if you really run into our Little Cabbage, you're doomed.

This kind of thing is not allowed to be said.

People will die
It's not just you, Aju, but all of us too.

Didn't you see that even Gengar has hidden itself, covering its ears to indicate that it didn't hear anything?

Even ghosts are afraid of it!
Jing He released his hand from A-Ju's, coughed lightly, and said righteously:

"Give up, A-Ju, I only love Cynthia!"

A-Ju was taken aback and quickly said, "It was my rudeness."

Jing He waved his hand, "You're punished by going back to reflect on your actions and copying the 'Rainbow Rocket Group Handbook' thirty times. Go now!"

As she spoke, she winked at Aju.

"Yes!"

Once A-Ju left, the faint superpower fluctuations "angrily" disappeared.

Jinghe gently wiped her forehead and let out a long sigh.

That was close!
A-Ju's sudden appearance is nothing to worry about, but it inevitably attracts some attention, such as from Cattleya, who is sleeping with Cynthia.

I've managed to escape an "undeserved disaster," as for Ah Ju...
I can only hope for happiness.

However, Gadriya's recent improvement in controlling her superpowers is quite obvious; even Aju didn't notice it.

As one of the three executives along with Sabrina, A-Ju has her own way of perceiving superpowers.

However, this trip was rather rushed, and since A-Ju didn't think she needed to worry about any superpowers at Teacher Jing He's place, she didn't make any preparations in that regard.

"tsk"

Jinghe rubbed her chin a couple of times, deciding to try to distract herself.

"Then let's prepare for battle and strive for a swift victory."
