Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 797 Semifinals! Jing He VS. Cynthia!
"If you ask me, Teacher Jinghe is simply invincible. Even the ace Gengar hasn't made an appearance yet!"

"Isn't Cynthia's Garchomp fierce? That move, Dragon Dive, hiss—it can even tear apart Trick Room."

"I think Mr. Giovanni is the one who is truly hiding his true strength. We at least know that Teacher Jinghe's trump card is Gengar, but who knows what Mr. Giovanni's trump card is?"

"Lance! Lance's Dragonite is invincible, okay? What's more, it might even Mega Evolve!"

When Kikuko's battle with Boss Sakaki ended and the final four were officially announced, the audience dispersed under the cover of night, already looking forward to the upcoming final four showdown.

Everyone has someone they support.

Even Giovanni, who wasn't very well-known before the tournament started, has now reached the semifinals, surpassing so many champions and Elite Four members. As a gym leader, he has already gained a large number of fans and attention.

Moreover, as a middle-aged man, Giovanni's serious appearance and calm, tough fighting style have won him a lot of young girls' admiration.

Mature older men are always very attractive.

Real bird, danger!

The four semifinalists have been determined. Because the tournament was divided into groups A and B according to the format, there was no need for a draw for the semifinals.

Jinghe VS Cynthia!
Yulong Wataru VS Sakaki!

The matchup list is now clear.

The audience is naturally full of anticipation for the battle between the four finalists.

In fact, Jinghe was also quite looking forward to the showdown between A-du and Boss Sakaki, just like the showdown between A-du and Sakaki in the special episode.

But the thought of having to fight Cynthia made Jinghe's mood less than pleasant.

Although this wasn't the first time the two had faced off.

"However, fighting Daigo would also be a headache."

Muttering to himself, Jinghe, holding an ice cream, knocked on Cynthia's door.

Tuk Tuk——

The door opens.

"Luk-ka—"

"Thank you, Lucario," Jing He said with a smile.

From the living room came Cattleya's voice.

"Ugh, I admit, Jinghe is quite strong, but with the right tactics, we can still be fairly confident. For example, let Gastrodon face Flameblade, and let Glaceon face Dragonite."

"cough"

Jing He coughed lightly and approached.

Calderia was giving Cynthia advice, and Karuno was also in the living room.

"What are you coughing for!" Gadriya glared at her. "No matter how loudly you cough, I'll still talk!"

Jing He shook his head. "Go ahead and tell me. All your so-called strategies and tactics are just trying to distract Cynthia."

As he spoke, he handed ice cream to Cynthia, Karuno, and the blonde loser, Cattleya, one by one.

“Cynthia knows me much better than you do.”

"Humph!"

Despite her anger, Gadriya wouldn't hold a grudge against the ice cream. She took it and curled up in a corner of the sofa.

But she also had to admit that Jing He was telling the truth.

Karuno laughed:
"Do you need us to step aside?"

Jing He was speechless, her gaze falling on Cynthia, or rather, on the shadow behind Cynthia.
"Alright, stop hiding, come out."

"Genga."

Gengar, the chubby purple-skinned creature, quietly emerged from Cynthia's shadow.

Jinghe smiled.

You little fatty.

They're discussing tactics, and you're eavesdropping?
Cynthia patted Gengar's head, took a small sip of ice cream, and whispered:

"Gengar didn't say anything."

Ok?
Jing He was taken aback.

He immediately realized what was happening and his eyes widened.

Good grief! So you weren't here as an "undercover agent," but as a "traitor"?!

There's a mole in our family!
"哓GA!"

Gengar had already floated to Jinghe's side. Seeing that Jinghe had reacted, it immediately curled its tongue and snatched the ice cream ball from Jinghe's hand into its mouth. Then, in a diving motion, it leaped into the shadows.

Gollum-

Looking at the empty ice cream cone, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Jing He: "."

He looked longingly at Cynthia.

Cynthia smiled, her eyes crinkling, and moved aside to make room for Jinghe, who plopped down next to her and took a big bite of Cynthia's ice cream scoop.

Seeing that nearly half of the ice cream scoop was gone, Cynthia's mouth immediately puffed up.

But seeing Jinghe hissing from the cold after eating too much in one bite, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Uh, well, we're on our way!"

Realizing she was being forced to "feed dog food" (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), Karuno immediately pulled up the reluctant Cattleya and quickly left the room.

Cynthia blushed slightly and glared at Jing He with annoyance.

The two sat quietly for a while.

Jing He rubbed his frozen cheeks. To prevent the ice cream from melting, he had deliberately had the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox release its chilling energy. He should have known better.
"Jing He," Xilona whispered, curled up on the sofa with her arms wrapped around her knees.

"Ok?"

"Fight well."

Jing He was stunned.

For trainers like Cynthia.

Whether you win or lose to her, it's not the most important thing. The most important thing is to give it your all. That's the only way to respect her!
Based on her understanding of Jing He, Xilona was also well aware that in the previous matches, whether against N, Spinner, or even Ye Ci, he had not gone all out.

but.
Cynthia wanted to fight Jinghe at full strength, not to hold back or hold back.

Jing He raised his hand, paused slightly, and then placed it on Cynthia's head, gently stroking her soft, long golden hair.

"It seems like Cynthia really wants to fight me," Jinghe thought to himself.

In that case
"Can we use mythical beasts?" Jing He asked abruptly.

Cynthia: "?"

Turning my head, a big question mark appeared above my head.

Jing He rubbed his nose. "Well, although the rules stipulate that legendary Pokémon in the 'first-tier legendary' category cannot be used, Mewtwo hasn't been added to the Pokédex yet."

Cynthia: "?"

Mewtwo?

"Hiss—"

The Garchomp, unable to stand it any longer, decided to beat up the kid!
You really think we're afraid of you just because you have a mythical beast?
Just come!
At worst, I'll report you after I'm done!
Jing He grinned, hugged Xilona, ​​and pulled her into his arms.

It was obviously a joke.

"I'll knock your teeth out the day after tomorrow," Cynthia muttered viciously.

"Hey, you can't bear to part with it."

"Let Garchomp make its move."

Jinghe: Σ(дlll)
"Hiss! (▼聶▼)"

After a while of silence.

"Give it your all, fight it out," Jing He said softly.

"Ok!"

Leaning against Jinghe's chest, Cynthia's eyes were full of seriousness.

sunny.

The Palace Arena was bustling with noise as the Rocket trio earned a substantial amount of money from this mega-event.

"Merchandise featuring Teacher Jinghe and Miss Cynthia!"

"Give me one of Teacher Jinghe's!"

"I want ten servings of Miss Cynthia!"

Do you have any joint merchandise featuring Teacher Jinghe and Ms. Cynthia?

"Of course!" Kojiro immediately took out the new merchandise.

Before long, the stalls around the trio were surrounded by people.

This is the only one with "officially licensed" content.

"Huh? You guys...aren't you selling Angry Buns anymore?" King Shiba said with some regret, looking around a stall.

"Ah, well, this... cough cough cough, the surrounding area is pretty good too." The trio was sweating profusely.

"Forget it, forget it!" Shiba waved his hand and walked back to the group of players watching the game.

"Although Teacher Jinghe is amazing, I still insist that Big Sister is invincible!" Da Ye even dared to ignore Jirachi's "threat" and firmly stood on Cynthia's side.

This time, it wasn't just him; even Gossong firmly supported Cynthia.

no way.

The Sinnoh Champions, as the Elite Four of the Sinnoh League, support Unreliable Loans.

However, because of the relationship between Teacher Jinghe and Cynthia, they believe that no matter who they support, they will not be "retaliated against" by Teacher Jinghe.

"Although I have to admit that Cynthia is very strong, I still prefer to fight against Teacher Jinghe."

"This is what A-Du, one of the top four in the other group, said."

He has fought against Cynthia many times, both in the past and recently, but the number of times he has fought against Jinghe is...
Unfortunately, he couldn't register for the League Conference, nor could he participate in Teacher Jinghe's "Baby Cup." "Then you have to qualify first and defeat Mr. Sakaki and Senior A-Du," N said with a gentle smile.

"certainly."

Before he could finish speaking, Lorelei interrupted, "Him? With those Flying-type Pokémon?"

Hahaha--

Everyone smiled knowingly.

"What's making you laugh so happily?"

Suddenly a voice came.

"Professor Oak".

The visitor was none other than Professor Oak, an authority in the Pokémon world.

He was accompanied by two young people who looked to be only ten years old.

"Hello everyone," Professor Oak greeted them with a smile.

“Those two.” A-Du seemed to recognize the two young men. After a moment of surprise, he said, “Aren’t they the champion and runner-up of this year’s Quartz Conference?”

Champion and runner-up?
Quartz Union?

Everyone was stunned.

"Haha—" Professor Oak laughed as he stepped aside. "That's right, it's them. Crimson and blue-green."

Qinglu pouted, clearly unimpressed by her runner-up status.

This time I lost to Crimson, but it's okay.
His goal is the championship!
The champion of the Kanto League!
He might become the Kanto League champion before Red.

Chi Hong, on the other hand, was quite polite, addressing him as "senior" repeatedly.

They were all there to watch the match between Jing He and Cynthia.

Jinghe had high hopes for the two of them from a very early age.

Although the two are still very young, they have already shown their talent.

In just over half a year, he has grown from a "newbie trainer" who has just started his journey to the champion and runner-up of the tournament.

The league championship may not be their limit!

"It's about to start!"

Qinglu suppressed her disdain, glanced at the huge screen hanging outside the stadium behind her, and immediately spoke when she saw the host was about to appear.

Hear the words.

Everyone put aside their jokes for a moment and quickly entered the arena.

The thunderous cheers were deafening; when the voices of tens of thousands of spectators converged, even the Palace Arena trembled.

boom! boom! boom--

Brilliant fireworks burst in the sky, and the narrator walked onto the stage under everyone's gaze.

"Ladies and gentlemen!!"

"Welcome everyone to the stage of our Masters Tournament semi-finals!!"

The commentator's neck veins bulged, and even with a microphone, he had to exert all his strength so that his voice wouldn't be drowned out by the audience's cheers.

"The two sides about to face off are—"

On the big screen, some exciting images began to flash by, some handsome and some dashing.

"The champion from the Hoenn League, Teacher Jinghe!!"

"And the champion from the Sinnoh League, Ms. Cynthia!!"

A tidal wave of cheers erupted, echoing across the circular track in ever-growing waves.

"Now! Let's give our two contestants a warm welcome!!!"

In the player channel.

"call--"

Wearing an elegant and noble black coat, Cynthia exhaled a soft breath of white air. Upon hearing the narrator's voice, she immediately stepped towards the exit.

Are we going to fight Jing He?

As she walked, an elegant and gentle smile involuntarily appeared on Cynthia's lips.

Although the probability of defeat is high
But you need to play the game to know your shortcomings.

Faced with difficulties, as the champion, she cannot back down in the slightest, especially since this is a match she has been looking forward to for a long time!

As she walked out of the player tunnel, Cynthia's aura had already returned to that of the valiant Sinnoh "Queen".

She brushed aside her long golden hair, revealing a fair, delicate, and resolute face. With one hand lightly swaying, she exuded a confident aura as she walked into the arena.

"Miss Cynthia!!"

"It's Zhu Lan! Miss Zhu Lan!!"

"Go, Miss Cynthia! Take down Teacher Jinghe and show him who's in charge at home!"

Amidst incredibly enthusiastic cheers.

The one who appears is—

Sinnoh League Champion, Cynthia!

the other side.

"We're all so familiar with each other, so..."

Jinghe was giving his Pokémon their final instructions. He looked around at them and said earnestly:
"You don't want to be called 'the one who lets others win' when you eat together in the future, do you?"

He clapped his hands. "Cheer up! Precisely because our opponent is Cynthia and her Pokémon, we must give them the utmost respect!"

Giving your all is a sign of respect!
"哓GA!"

Gengar, as the eldest brother, was the first to clench his fist and speak up, while quickly erasing the Cynthia support stamps and other stickers stuck to his body.

Jing He glanced at the chubby boy.

snort!
If there really is a "mole," Gengar is definitely the prime suspect.

However, Jinghe did understand.

after all
If he weren't a player, he could have been the "mole."

But at this moment, no matter what.
We should all give our opponents the utmost respect!

"gone!"

With a flick of her black cloak, Jing He sent all the Pokémon in front of her, except for Gengar, flying back into the Poké Balls at her waist as streaks of red light.

"哓GA!"

Gengar took the lead, guiding Jinghe out of the player's tunnel in a Gengar-style "terrifying entrance ceremony"!
"Teacher Jinghe! It's time to show your boyfriend skills!"

"The throne! Oh, the throne! Go, Teacher Jinghe!"

"Ah—Gengar is so cute!"

At the referee's signal, the two walked to the center of the field and shook hands.

"The loser," Cynthia's mouth moved.

Jing He immediately chimed in, "Give them a month's worth of leg massages!"

Cynthia was taken aback.

Are there any punishment options for Jinghe?
But after a brief moment of distraction, she smiled and said, "Okay."

The referee looked uncomfortable at that moment.

He had to admit that this was the harshest thing he had ever heard since he became a referee, so harsh that it felt like he had eaten a ton of dog food.

Are you two here to compete or to show off?
"Wow! Teacher Jinghe is still the best! Winning or losing is a bonus!"

"Damn it, I suddenly have a bad feeling, like this is just the beginning."

"I envy Teacher Jinghe's 133rd day."

Fortunately, not only the referees, but also the audience at the scene and those watching the live stream were fed a lot.

After a brief exchange, at the audience's insistence, Jinghe and Xilona returned to their respective halves of the court.

Stand still.

Swiftly—

Red and blue flags were waved, and the referee signaled for the two players to get ready.

at the same time.

Cynthia and Jinghe exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious and solemn.

"I've been looking forward to this match for a long time," Cynthia murmured to herself as she caught the Poké Ball.

Jinghe had already gripped the Poké Ball in her hand and said in a low voice, "Then let's have a good, exhilarating battle!"

"Both players, please summon your Pokémon!"

Two Poké Balls landed on the field at the same time.

"Please, Milotic!"

"Go, Coach Xiong!"

The rainbow light flickered and leaped.

An elegant and beautiful figure leaped into the arena with a soft murmur.

Milotic is known as the "most beautiful Pokémon"!
On the other side, with its mane fluttering and its momentum unstoppable, the one who had already taken up a fighting stance was none other than Instructor Xiong, the martial arts master Xiong!

Teacher Jinghe VS Cynthia!
The duel between the two has just begun.

Sudden——

The referee's flag was lowered.

"The battle begins!!"
