Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 789 Dragonite, you can't really Mega Evolve, can you?!

After Dan Di defeated Da Ye, the Masters Tournament's round of 16 to 8 competition came to a close.

The trainers who advanced to the "Eight Masters" are: Jinghe, Lance, Cynthia, Steven, Agatha Christie, Giovanni, Yaji, and Leon!
The "Eight Masters" have been officially announced, and the enthusiasm of audiences around the world has not diminished at all, but has instead grown even stronger.

"Whether it's the 'Baby Cup' or not, we'll find out in Teacher Jinghe's second round!"

"What should I do? I'm a little looking forward to the love-hate relationship between Teacher Jinghe and Miss Cynthia, and I'm also a little looking forward to the master-disciple battle with Mr. Daigo."

"Let's see how to group them first. What if Teacher Jinghe is grouped with King Kikuko, Master Sakaki, and President Yaji?"

Jinghe, looking at her phone, gave off the expression of an "old man on the subway looking at his phone".

Pointing to the last few lines, he said to Gengar, "Gengar, the 'prophecy' has come true. Get Porygon and drag these guys out for me."

"哓GA!"

Gengar, wearing a detective hat and carrying a magnifying glass and a pipe, immediately nodded.

Guaranteed to complete the task!

"Where did the pipe come from?" Jinghe's eyes widened.

"Gen, genga." Gengar's expression froze instantly.

"Give it to me, kids aren't allowed to smoke!"

Confiscated Gengar's pipe.

Gengar pouted and muttered a few words.

child?
I am already several thousand years old.
But since Jinghe is a trainer, Gengar obediently handed over its pipe.

Anyway, it won't.

"Jinghe's gone, she's off to draw lots," Adu called out.

"coming."

Jinghe put away his phone, walked into the "main group," and very naturally took Cynthia's hand.

Everyone has gotten used to it.

At the beginning, among their group, there was only Jing He and Xiluona as a couple, and they were all being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

But once you feed them enough, they get used to it.

Daigo and N are both considering when they should start calling her "Master's Wife".

The group arrived at the venue and, under the arrangement of the organizers and staff, drew lots.

Leon, who was supposed to be the president of the Galar League, was also a player, so the task of conducting the draw was handed over to Professor Oak, an authority in the Pokémon world who had just arrived in the Galar region.

only.
When Professor Oak and Elite Four member Akiko met.
The expressions on everyone's faces were somewhat subtle.

Fortunately, it was being broadcast live worldwide, so Kikuko didn't cause any trouble and the draw was conducted according to the order in which the teams qualified.

quickly.

The group stage draw for the eight-player tournament has been announced.

According to the competition rules, the quarterfinals, also known as the "Masters Tournament," are divided into two groups, A and B.

Only the two finalists from Groups A and B can meet on the grand final stage of the Pokémon World Masters Championship!
According to the lottery results, groups A and B are divided into:
Group A: Jinghe, Yeci, Cynthia, Daigo

Group B: Wataru, Dante, Sakaki, Kikuko

When the group assignments were announced, the world immediately erupted into heated discussions.

"It's like they've put together both 'love-hate relationship' and 'master-disciple rivalry'!"

"Guards, drag the 'prophet' out and kill him!"

"A divine grouping!"

"Goodness! At first glance, it's impossible to be sure which two players will ultimately advance!"

"Nonsense, they are the world's top trainers, only a fool could guess that."

Whether it's Group A or Group B, they are all incredibly powerful trainers at first glance.
Firstly, in Group A, Jing He's strength is beyond doubt; he's a player who treats the Masters Tournament like a baby cup.

If the organizers hadn't set up the competition rules in advance and banned all the mythical beasts, Teacher Jinghe probably would have won the championship much earlier.

It's worth noting that in previous Pokémon World Masters Championships, there was no rule prohibiting legendary Pokémon from participating.

It was added entirely for Teacher Jinghe, so you could say it's quite prestigious.

As the newly crowned champion of the Sinnoh League, Cynthia's "path to the championship" has been watched by many.

In the previous round, she faced Karuno, the champion of the Carlos region. Despite being champions, she managed to achieve such a score, demonstrating her undeniable strength.

As for Daigo...
Does Daigo, who is handsome, rich, and invincible, need to be questioned?
Yeci is a well-established champion and league chairman. In the previous Pokémon World Masters Championship, Yeci was a top four player.

Group A is strong, but Group B is just as good.

Some of Giovanni's achievements from his youth were unearthed, and people only then realized that Giovanni had become the champion of the Kanto League at a very young age.

However, he suddenly disappeared after that, and then became a gym leader in the Kanto region.
However, Giovanni also demonstrated his exceptional strength at this Masters tournament.

Furthermore, based on Giovanni's previous record of fighting Groudon alone when he faced the "Super Demon Hoopa" incident with Jinghe-sensei.
This is at least a terrifying existence capable of going head-to-head with a "Level One God"!
And chrysanthemums.

The "face" of the Kanto League to this day.

With no champion emerging, Kikuko Tenno has been the face of the Kanto League for decades, a prime example of "getting better with age," and her strength is comparable to that of a champion.

There are uncertain rumors that Kikuko Tenma didn't become the champion of the Kanto League because she was waiting for someone!

Group B also includes Awatari and Dante.

One is the future of the Johto Alliance, once regarded as the future by both the Kanto and Johto Alliances, and also the one who rose to fame earliest among the younger generation.

The other is the future of the Galar League, known as the "Strongest Champion," who has never been defeated in any tournament, big or small, in the Galar region, and the main event of this Masters tournament is being held in the Galar region!
With all these names put together, who wouldn't get confused?
It's understandable that this sparked a heated discussion.

After the group divisions are completed, the draw for the matchups between the players in Groups A and B will take place.

This will not take place on-site; it will be announced online directly.

Galar region, Gongmen City.

A secluded coffee shop.

The sunlight was gentle, and Victini and Little Jirachi were swinging on the swings in the yard. Their melodious laughter brought a smile to the faces of everyone who heard it.

Jinghe sat by the floor-to-ceiling window and took a sip of coffee.

"You also think we can march on Parthia, right?"

Hearing what was being said, Jinghe almost spat out the coffee she had just drunk. She wiped her mouth and quickly swallowed it before looking at the square-faced, dignified middle-aged man in a black suit sitting opposite her.

Boss Sakaki!

"Boss Sakaki, when did I start thinking that way?"

Sakaki casually picked up a small cookie and popped it into his mouth.

I don't know when it started, but Giovanni seems to be getting more and more used to eating cookies.

“Excellence Corporation,” Sakaki uttered a name.

Jing He's dealings with Spinner and his alliance with Ye Ci could not be kept from him.

Upon hearing this, Jing He sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Boss Sakaki, are you addicted to "eating" other companies?
Because of Loz's disappearance, Dante integrated the Marocomon Group with the Galar Alliance, and Rainbow Rocket Group benefited greatly from this, growing much stronger and occupying a significant share of the Galar market.

Now it seems that Excellence Corporation is also showing similar signs.
Boss Sakaki, you're a business genius!
Why did we think about conquering the world before?
After a pause, Jing He said, "I can only say... most likely."

Sakaki nodded.

His observations confirmed this.

Therefore, he has already sent people to the Parthian region to make preparations in advance.

"but."

Jing He gently rubbed the rim of his coffee cup and said, "The Padiya region is different from Galar; its situation is much more complicated."

The existence of Orange Academy, its close cooperation with the Padia League, and the presence of the Excellence Corporation create a complex web of relationships. With Giovanni bringing Team Rocket into the mix, things will undoubtedly become even more complicated.

Sakaki waved his hand lightly, not really caring.

"If we don't talk about this, you seem a little distracted?"

Jing He smiled helplessly, and before he could speak, Sakaki continued, "Is it because of your little girlfriend?"

The group assignments have been completed, but the intra-group matchups haven't been drawn yet.

but.
Even if Jinghe and Xirona hadn't met at the beginning, they would have eventually met if both of them had won. Facing Xiaozhulan, Jinghe was unsure of his own abilities.
"Put yourself in her shoes. If you were in that situation, would she want to see you giving it your all, or you holding back?"

Jing He was taken aback upon hearing this.

Thinking back to the time I trained with Cynthia a while ago.
“The bystander sees most of the game,” Jing He murmured to himself.

Seeing Jinghe's appearance, Sakaki knew everything was alright. "I have more experience in this area than you do."

"Hmm?" Jing He looked up. "Boss Sakaki, you've been in a relationship before?"

Sakaki's face immediately fell. He opened his mouth, and finally said, "How do you think Little Silver came to be?"

"Uh, that makes sense."

Good heavens, who would have thought that the legendary leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni Sakaki, would turn into an "emotional expert"?
"Gengga! Gengga!"

Gengar suddenly rushed in, holding a phone.

The match rosters for Groups A and B have been announced!
Gengar placed the phone on the table, and Jinghe and Sakaki looked at it.

Group A:
【Jinghe VS Yeci】

[Sirona VS Daigo]

Group B:
[Sakaki VS Kikuko]

【Awatari VS Dante】

"Huh."

Having figured things out, Jinghe felt much better and wasn't so concerned about how Group A would be divided. In short, she would give it her all!

Perhaps this is the only chance he'll ever have in his life to compete in the Masters.

after all
After this competition and relinquishing his championship title, he will likely retire.

So he first saw the match list for Group B.

When Jinghe saw Boss Sakaki and Granny Kikuko fighting, he couldn't help but shout out loud.

Good guy.

Sakaki vs. Kikuko?

Make sense.

The two had interacted to some extent, one as the leader of Team Rocket, the largest evil organization in the Kanto region, and the other as the commander-in-chief of the Kanto Alliance Investigation Department.

Whether they actually fought each other or not is unknown.

To witness a duel between these two "legends" is truly...
Tsk tsk.

The Masters tournament is indeed quite interesting.

Sakaki, on the other hand, was quite unfazed.

"Kikuko?"

When he was young, Kikuko had already become famous, and the two had some clashes when they were commanding their subordinates.

But this seems to be the first time they've actually faced off.

However, Sakaki had absolute confidence in himself.

Even if his opponent is the famous Kikuko, as long as he stands on the ground, he is invincible!

The duel between Awa and Dante is also very interesting.

In the anime, Lance was defeated by Leon's invincible Gigantamax Charizard.

But speaking reasonably
The A-du in this world isn't that stupid.

Although Leon's Pokémon setup was indeed better than his, Lance was at a significant disadvantage in various attributes.

Pokémon battles aren't just about type matchups; otherwise, Lance would have surrendered when battling Lorelei.

Ultimately, Lorraine suffered from being "released too early," otherwise the Dragon-type champion wouldn't be jokingly called "Dodo."

However, A-du also mastered some good tactics.

This battle.

Full of highlights!

"Ye Ci?"

It was only then that Jinghe noticed that his opponent was actually the president of the Padia Alliance, the champion Yeci!
Talk about it.

After Cynthia, the champions of each region generally no longer specialize in one type, and have fewer weaknesses, and Ye Ci is one of them.

"Gengga! Gengga!"

Gengar pointed at the "Cynthia VS Steven" battle poster on the screen, pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere, and bit it with a conflicted expression.

On one side is a "big sponsor," and on the other is an even bigger "big sponsor"—it's so difficult! I don't know who to support.
“We’re ahead of them. Let’s wait until we win before worrying about who we’ll face,” Jing He said.

"Mega Evolution, Z-Move, Dynamax, Crystallize"

In the room, in front of Jinghe were the Key Stone, Z-Bracelet, Max Bracer, and Tai Crystal Bead.

Suddenly, the image of Ash wearing all these items on his hands flashed into my mind.

Shake his head.

"Mega Evolution is definitely the easiest to use, but Z-Moves are also an option. As for Dynamax and Crystallize..."

Jinghe placed relatively low priority on the latter two enhancement methods.

But it’s not unusable.

After all, only Gengar and Tyranitar can Mega Evolve, and while Z-Moves are universal, the strongest is still Ninetales' own exclusive Z-Move, and Gengar's "stolen" exclusive Z-Move can be considered as well.

Dynamax and Crystallize are quite versatile and can be used by anyone.

Coach Bear also has Gigantamax form.

If it's too crystallized.
Actually, after looking at them all, Dragonite is probably the most suitable.

A Dragonite of the same caliber.

"Woo?"

Seemingly noticing Jinghe's gaze, Dragonite, who was lying on its back on the floor imagining itself soaring through the air, sat up and patted its chubby belly.

"It's nothing~" Jing He smiled and shook her head.

The Crystallize attribute of Dragonite hasn't been changed yet, and Dragonite generally can't use Crystallize.

"Woo~"

Dragonite pointed at the keystone in front of Jinghe and gently flapped its short wings.

"Mega evolution?"

Jing He was taken aback.

A sudden thought struck me.

I remember once, Dragonite seemed to have some kind of connection with the Key Stone.
But Mega Dragonite?

Jinghe is certain that Dragonite is not among the many Mega Evolutions.

To date, no Mega Stone belonging to Dragonite has been discovered.

Could it be
Was it influenced by Rayquaza?

After all, Rayquaza can Mega Evolve, and Dragonite obtained its gem fragments, even stealing the finishing touch technique.

Or.
"This is the real world after all; it's not impossible."

Jinghe grabbed the key stone.

Injection waveguide.

hum-

"Woo?" Dragonite flapped its little wings.

There does seem to be a connection.

and many more!

"Dragonite, you can't really Mega Evolve, can you?"

PS: Mega Dragonite, with big ears!
