Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 800 The Invincible Garchomp Makes its Debut!
Seeing the two Pokémon having so much fun, even the referee subconsciously forgot to announce the start of the battle.

It was only after the commentator reminded him that he realized that the two Pokémon were able to have so much fun because he hadn't announced the start of the battle.

"Ahem!" The referee coughed a few times to ease the awkwardness, and then quickly announced:
"Halftime ended, the battle begins!"

Tokiss vs. Dragonite!

Upon hearing the referee's voice, Togekiss and Dragonite immediately stopped playing around, put away their smiles, and became serious.

It's fine to joke around normally, but this is a competition, a battle!

It concerns the future "family throne" of each trainer!
"In terms of attributes, Togekiss has a significant advantage. It seems that Big Sister predicted that Coach Jinghe would substitute the Dragon in midfield," Wusong said thoughtfully.

"Big Sister Niu Bo Yi!" Da Ye has already become a loyal supporter of Cynthia.

"However, in terms of strength, the teacher's Dragonite is clearly more advantageous than Cynthia's Togekiss," Daigo analyzed rationally.

No one disagrees with this point.

Cynthia's Togekiss was developed much later than Milotic and others, although it has now grown to a level where it can stand alone in the Masters Tournament.
After all, their opponent is Jing He, the one who is currently the closest to being called a "legend"!

"But if the boss's Togekiss gets ahead, Dragonite might even be controlled to death." Wusong had seen that kind of Togekiss before. With a six-hit combo of Air Slash, even a god would have to kneel down.

"Teacher's Dragonite... I don't know why, but its luck is exceptionally good," Daigo said. He had also witnessed Teacher Jinghe's Dragonite having incredible luck.

It wasn't just him; many people present had actually seen him before.

but.
Gosho and Daigo exchanged a glance.

Has it become a "battle of luck"?

While they were exchanging words, the battle on the field had already begun.

"Tokiss, tailwind!"

"Cha-ge-du-yi~!"

Togekiss flapped its wings, and a gust of air emerged from behind it, allowing it to ride the wind and become faster and more agile. Dragonite, going against the wind, was naturally hindered by the airflow.

"Dragonite, Thunder Wave!"

Jinghe waved and spoke.

"Woo~!"

A wisp of golden electricity condensed between the two tentacles on Dragonite's head, flashing with arcs of light, and flew toward Togekiss.

"Slice it open, Blade of the Air!" Cynthia shouted.

Buzz-buzz-

As Togekiss flapped its wings, two arc-shaped light blue blades shot towards the Thunder Wave and Dragonite.

boom! !

The fibrous golden current was split in two from the middle, transforming into streaks of golden arc light that scattered in all directions.

Meanwhile, another air blade flew towards Dragonite.

"Avoid with great speed!"

A white light enveloped Dragonite, which flapped its wings and dodged Togekiss's Air Blade at incredible speed.

"Hey." Jing He chuckled, "Dragonite, Ice Punch!"

While using its incredible speed to help Dragonite avoid Togekiss, frost gathered on its fist.

"Togekiss, Angel's Kiss!" Cynthia's expression changed slightly.

"Chaluduu~ゝ)ノ"

The pink heart was visible to the naked eye as it flew toward Dragonite.

Can Angel's Kiss, with a 75% accuracy, actually hit our Dragonite?
A mere 75% hit rate is practically the same as no hit rate, isn't it?

Of course, symbolic avoidance is still necessary.

Jinghe immediately said, "Avoid Dragonite, Ice Punch!"

boo~
A pink, balloon-shaped heart exploded in front of Dragonite, the Fairy-type energy carrying an air of intimacy that momentarily halted Dragonite's movements.

Jing He: "."

Dragonite's "luck" isn't working anymore?
Could it be that the "European" encountered the "European Emperor," and their "European luck" was suppressed?
in the audience.

Gosho and Daigo exchanged another glance, their expressions both somewhat strange.

Da Ye laughed heartily and said, "As it turns out, when two Pokémon are equally lucky, the trainer's luck plays a decisive role!"

Only Da Ye would dare to speak such blunt truths.

Jing He gritted his teeth on the field, "Dragon Speedster!"

Chaos alone cannot completely restrain Dragonite, and Jinghe, who started his business in Pokémon psychology, is confident in this.

The usual psychological training wasn't for nothing.

At least now, few trainers dare to let their Pokémon use hypnosis on their Pokémon during battles.

But even a brief pause was enough to give Pokkis room to maneuver.

"Togekiss, one more time, Air Blade!"

"Cha-ge-du-yi~!"

As Togekiss retreated rapidly, it flapped its wings and unleashed two more arc-shaped air blades.

"Woo!"

Dragonite shook its head and woke up.

"Dragonite, Dragon Pulse!" Jinghe's voice came through.

hum-

The blue-purple energy condensed and scattered, shattering the two air blades.

Jinghe, somewhat skeptical, called out again, "Dragonite, Air Blade!"

"Woo!!"

Dragonite flapped its wings, slashing out two light blue arcs of air towards Togekiss.

Cynthia narrowed her eyes, "Togekiss, Air Blade!"

Tokiss slashed out two identical arcs of air.

just
When everyone thought these air blades would collide and dissipate...
The four blades of air actually brushed past each other!

Cynthia and Togekiss actually chose to fight Dragonite with Air Blade, gambling on luck?!
bang bang-

bang bang-

Four air blades landed on Togekiss and Dragonite respectively.

Togekiss cried out in pain, while Dragonite...
Jing He: "."

Could it be that it's really my problem?

Jinghe seemed to recall the scene where she had once missed seven times in a row with her air-slashing technique.
Do not!
It's definitely a problem with the venue!

The venue today, at first glance, clearly hasn't been well repaired!
And the weather!

The weather is terrible today; it's cloudless and the sun is so bright.
Cynthia smiled. "Togekiss, continue, Air Blade!"

The arc-shaped air slash shot towards Dragonite at a tricky angle.

Bang - Bang -

"Tokiss, again!"

at this time.

Jinghe suddenly shouted, "Dragonite!!"

"Woo!"

Jinghe wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the way Dragonite glanced at her unintentionally carried a hint of "resentment".

".Reverse Scale!"

The best way to combat this psychological impact is to "crush" it with an even stronger and more irrational emotion!

"Although Dragonite was affected by Air Blade, Jinghe's Dragonite clearly 'broke free' from the effect of Air Blade much faster than most Pokémon," commentator Dan said.

A typical Pokémon might be controlled until the end of the battle.

"Woo!!"

A dark red aura rapidly rose from Dragonite's body, unleashing a violent aura.

Jing He's expression was stern, not because Dragonite's Air Blade missed, but because...
cough.

"Dragonite, Ice Punch!"

"Woo!!"

Taking advantage of the gap between the old and new power of Togekiss's use of Air Blade, the attacker smashed through the air blade and arrived in front of Togekiss in the blink of an eye.

A massive fist, thick with frost, slammed down without hesitation.

boom! !

Togekiss was slammed into the ground from the air by Dragonite.

Rumbling--

The newly replaced site immediately developed numerous cracks.

As the thick smoke dissipated, Tokiss was found lying unconscious on the ground.

The referee waved his flag, "Pokekiss, incapacitated!"

The arena trembled violently.

"That was it?"

"I can make countless mistakes, but you can only make one!"

"No, Ms. Cynthia and Togekiss didn't make a mistake at all, okay? It was clearly Teacher Jinghe's Dragonite that was being unreasonable."

"Did he win? It seems like Teacher Jinghe won, but in reality, he lost quite thoroughly!"

Did we win?

Jinghe decided to let the dragon "calm down" first, and also to calm himself down.

This is the first time in his battles against Dragonite that he has lost to his opponent in terms of "luck."
Even if the opponent is Cynthia.

"Teacher Jinghe has recalled Dragonite!" the commentator shouted. "It seems that the replacement will not be completed until Ms. Cynthia's Pokémon appears!" The word "again" is used very aptly.

Cynthia has now lost four Pokémon, and with only two remaining, one of them will inevitably be Garchomp, and the other...
Cynthia took a deep breath.

to be frank.

She felt considerable pressure.

They also clearly felt the "pressure" brought by Jinghe's strength.

Jing He, who was going all out, was there really such a big gap in strength between himself and him?
But then I thought about it.

Isn't this exactly what she wanted to see?

so.
Give it your all, and leave no regrets!
"Please, Gastrodon!" Cynthia threw her fifth Poké Ball, summoning the last Pokémon in the strictest sense, the one whose fate remained uncertain.

boom--

The seemingly small but heavy sea hare landed on the field.

"Sea Gastrodon, charge up!"

As soon as Gastrodon appeared, Cynthia immediately gave instructions to put pressure on Jinghe, who was switching Pokémon.

"Woo!"

A mysterious power appeared out of nowhere and was then swallowed whole by Gastrodon, which in turn boosted Gastrodon's physical and special defense.

Fortunately, Jinghe is not Spinner, so she won't hesitate much when it comes to replacing Pokémon.

The combination of Water and Ground types allows Gastrodon to avoid being at a disadvantage against most types of Pokémon, except when facing Grass-type Pokémon.
The fact that it is four times weak to grass is the biggest weakness of the Sea Gastrodon.

So, without any hesitation, Jinghe threw out a Poké Ball and summoned Serperior!
In this battle against Cynthia, considering that Cynthia has Gastrodon, Milotic, and the Ground-type Garchomp, Jinghe brought Serperior along.

It wasn't Glaceon, which was somewhat unexpected.

But think about it carefully.
Ice-type Glaceon has many weaknesses: Fighting, Rock, Steel, and Fire. This corresponds to Urshifu, Tyranitar, Greatsmith, and Azurewrath.

Among Jinghe's Pokémon, it seems that only Dragonite and Serperior are afraid of Ice-type Pokémon.
Too many weaknesses and limited options are the reasons why Cynthia didn't bring Glaceon this time.

If you're battling Lance, then without hesitation, Glaceon is definitely second only to Garchomp, and its priority is even higher than Lucario!
"Shinni!"

The monarch serpent has a serious expression.

This is an arena; without a forest, its power cannot be fully unleashed.

"Monarch Snake, Flying Leaf Storm!"

As soon as the Monarch Serpent landed, Jing He immediately gave the order.

"Shinni!"

Emerald green leaves appeared out of thin air, and the Monarch Serpent swung its tail, instantly whipping up a large number of leaves that resembled braids dozens of times thicker, which then lashed out at the Sea Hare Beast.

"Gastrodon!" Cynthia's eyes flashed, as if she had guessed who Jing He would send to deal with her Gastrodon, so she calmly commanded, "Blizzard!"

"Woo——"

As the sea hare's seemingly soft body throbbed, a fierce blizzard immediately surged forth.

Before the leaf tornadoes whipped up by the Monarch Serpent could even touch the Sea Gastrodon, they were affected by the howling wind and snow, some freezing and others being blown away.

Ok?
The commentator exclaimed in surprise, "Cynthia's Gastrodon has displayed a remarkably powerful Ice-type move!"

This power is so great that even ordinary Ice-type Pokémon might not be able to match Cynthia's Gastrodon.

The item carried by the Sea Gastrodon is "Ice That Doesn't Melt".
And it's not just any ordinary "non-melting ice".
Jing He looked at Cynthia, and Cynthia's gaze met his, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

On the snow-covered Mount Coronet, Cynthia's special training there wasn't just for Garchomp.

"Monarch Serpent, Grassy Grounds!"

Jinghe changed its strategy.

Leaving aside the "Blessing of the Forest" that Monarch Pokémon possesses, its strength, having only recently evolved, is only around the level of a typical Champion's main Pokémon.

Cynda's Gastrodon was one of the first Pokémon she caught, and it is stronger than Serperior in terms of raw power.

"Shinni!"

The monarch serpent raised its head, and the vine-like patterns on its body seemed to come alive, constantly winding and twisting. Centered on its location, a large patch of grass rapidly grew and sprouted branches.

even
Saplings began to grow in the field, growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is this supposed to be a grassy field?"

"I'd believe you if you told me this was a forest!"

"The Serpent Lord will be voted number one on this year's 'Arbor Day'!"

The audience gasped in astonishment as they watched the ordinary field that was about to be transformed into a forest.

Cynthia also showed surprise.

During the special training session some time ago, because it was in the forest, Serperior showed great strength, but perhaps because it was in the forest, Serperior's performance in this aspect was not very obvious.

And now.
Even Jinghe had to admit that the Monarch Serpent had indeed drawn considerable benefits from the "Divine Tree".
No forests?

Then create your own forest!
Of course, this also consumes a lot of the Serpent's stamina.

"Sea Gastrodon, instantly lost your memory!"

While Serperior used Grassy Terrain, Cynthia once again had Gastrodon use Amnesia, greatly increasing its Special Defense.

A look of confusion flashed in Gastrodon's eyes, as if it had forgotten something, in exchange for a boost to its Special Defense.

"Serpent Lord!" Jing He took a slight breath. "Next, Leaf Storm!"

"Shinni!!"

The snake's leaves curled up again, some appearing out of nowhere, others falling from nearby plants.

A larger, stronger, and more cohesive leaf storm has formed once again!

"Hold on!"

A ring of emerald green energy barrier suddenly appeared around the sea hare.

click -

The barrier shattered instantly, and the swirling leaves scattered.

You can hold them off once, but you can't stop them a second time.

"The final, leaf storm!"

Having already unleashed Leaf Storm twice, and with the "Contrarian" ability boosting its Special Attack by 4 stages, Serperior's explosive power is truly remarkable.
"Sea Hare, Mirror Reflection!"

However, when the barrier broke, it wasn't just Jinghe and Serperior that moved; Cynthia and Gastrodon also did.

hum-

As the sea hare beast channeled its power, a transparent barrier appeared around its body.

[Mirror Reflect: Reflects incoming special attack moves back at the opponent with twice the power!]

Because mirror reflection is very slow to execute, you must anticipate what move your opponent will use in order to perform this technique.

It might be difficult to judge other Pokémon, but Serperior...
Leaf storms are quite easy to predict.

and.

Cynthia had Gastrodon use Charge and Amnesia in succession to raise Gastrodon's Special Defense, so that it could withstand the impact of Leaf Storm and finally reflect it all back to Serperior!
Now, Serperior's Leaf Storm has fallen, and Gastrodon's Mirror Ejection has been formed, the timing is perfect.

"Cynthia is indeed Cynthia; she timed it perfectly." This thought unconsciously surfaced in Jing He's mind.

But
Jing He's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he roared, "Monarch Serpent, don't hold back, unleash your full power!"

If the Sea Gastrodon cannot withstand the attack from the Lord Serpent, then there's no point in talking about reflection.

"Shinni!!"

The Monarch Serpent understood Jing He's meaning and let out a low growl.

rustling—rustling—

The grass, trees, and all the plants in the area swayed gently.

The vine-like patterns on the monarch snake's body came to life, and the grass around it grew rapidly.

"Gastrodon, regenerate!!" Cynthia exclaimed immediately upon seeing this.

withstand!

The audience's view was completely blocked, and all they could see was a large number of leaves filling the entire venue.

With a loud "boom," a beam of emerald green light shot into the sky, creating shockwaves that spread outwards before finally subsiding.

The leaves twirled and fell, like butterflies.

And within the leaf, the sea hare was already lying.

"Sea Hare has lost its ability to fight!" the referee announced immediately.

It couldn't hold on?!

Despite having increased Special Defense by three levels and the ability to regenerate, Gastrodon ultimately couldn't withstand the impact of Serperior's Leaf Storm.
“Is this the power of the ‘forest’?” Cynthia murmured.

It really is.
Recalling Gastrodon, Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief and regained her composure.

The fact that the grass was four times weaker and couldn't withstand the attack was within an acceptable range.

Cynthia's slender fingers grasped her last Poké Ball.

Next.

It's her last trump card!

She has been pushed to the brink of danger by her opponents several times, but she and Garchomp have always managed to turn the tide and win against all odds.

She absolutely trusted Garchomp, just as Garchomp absolutely trusted her.

and so.

As long as Garchomp is still around, she'll still have the confidence!

Jinghe stared at Cynthia and could clearly feel the change in her aura—the confidence she had for herself and the bond she had with her Pokémon through absolute trust!
"It's time to make our appearance, Garchomp!"

The Poké Ball opened, and Garchomp soared into the sky with great momentum, then swooped down and crashed heavily onto the ground, opening its ferocious scythe and roaring:
"Roar!!!"

Sharp claws pointed straight at Jing He, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

It's you!
Are you bullying our little bamboo orchid?

The invincible Garchomp has arrived!
Jinghe felt ashamed.

Garchomp finally got its chance.
