Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 12: Another Battle

"It's you."

Jinghe stopped walking with a smile.

The two quickly walked up to him and called him "teacher" again.

Talk about it.

Actually, he wasn't much older than the two of them. Because he skipped grades in school, he was only two or three years older than Daigo and the others, so they were roughly the same age.

Therefore, although the two of them respected Jing He as a teacher, they did not act too restrained towards him; on the contrary, they were quite at ease.

of course.

Jinghe's psychological intervention for Daigo's MetalGhost had a good effect and was a very important reason.

"Teacher, so you were here! We couldn't find you in the counseling room earlier. Were you training your Pokémon?" Du Juan asked, somewhat surprised.

As a teacher at the Pokémon Academy, it's quite normal to have Pokémon. However, in her memory, Senior Jinghe had excellent theoretical knowledge, but it seemed that he hadn't caught any Pokémon.

Daigo, on the other hand, knew more about this than she did.

Jinghe had summoned his Gastly when he was psychologically intervening with the MetalGreymon.

"Yes." Jing He responded with a smile, not bothering to hide her question, and immediately asked, "You were looking for me?"

"Teacher, it's like this..."

Daigo then briefly explained the reason.

It turns out that Dujuan had recently caught a Pokémon, but that Pokémon had a rather irritable personality.

Pokémon naturally have different personalities, some gentle and some aggressive, so Cuckoo didn't think much of it when she caught it, thinking she could train and train it slowly later.

To her surprise, the Pokémon not only didn't calm down, but became even more aggressive, and even started to disobey Cuckoo's commands, which gave her a real headache.

Until recently, Dujuan heard from Daigo that Jinghe had given his MetalGreymon psychological treatment, which had greatly improved MetalGreymon's condition. So she wondered if her Pokémon might also have psychological problems.
After listening, Jing He asked:
"The Pokémon is not obeying its trainer's commands. Didn't you try to catch it in battle?"

Upon hearing this, Dujuan looked embarrassed and whispered, "It is the offspring of my father's Pokémon."

Jinghe suddenly realized.

He glanced around and said, "Let's take a look, but this place isn't quite right."

“There’s a battle arena behind the training hall,” Daigo said.

Perhaps because the sky was overcast and looked like it was about to rain, the once bustling outdoor battlefield was now deserted, with only a few people packing up their things, seemingly preparing to leave.

The three arrived at the most secluded spot, and at Jinghe's prompting, Dujuan took out a Poké Ball.

Amidst a flash of red light, her Pokémon appeared on the field.

"Hey cha!"

It is a Pokémon that looks like a gray round stone and has a pair of muscular stone arms.

Geodude is a Rock/Ground type Pokémon!
As soon as it appeared, it glanced at the three of them.

He crossed his arms and squinted his eyes to himself.

His disdain was palpable.

"A small stone?" Jing He was a little surprised.

Geodude is not uncommon; if you take a stroll in a sparsely vegetated mountain, you're likely to encounter at least ten of them.

However, Rock and Ground-type Pokémon generally have a calm or even quiet personality, especially Geodude and Marble, which are quite rare to find with a volatile personality.

"Hey cha!"

Seemingly hearing someone calling him, Little Stone looked towards Jing He.

Upon discovering that he was merely a handsome young man with sharp features and deep-set eyes, Little Geodude's disdain deepened.

Especially when it noticed Jinghe looking at it with a scrutinizing gaze, its irritable nature couldn't be contained at all.

"Hey cha!"

Then it leaped into the air.

It actually crashed straight into Jing He!

Upon seeing this, both Daigo and Dujuan's expressions changed.

Daigo reached for his waist, while Cuckoo grabbed the Poké Ball, ready to recall it.

"Kou Jie!"

However, before they could act, a cloud of black mist immediately emanated from Jing He, followed by Gastly's grotesque grinning face.

Sensing the chilling aura, Geodude showed no sign of backing down. With a sharp look in its eyes, it charged towards Gastly.

Bump!

puff!
However, when it collided with Gastly, it only created a hole in the gaseous Gastly, which quickly recovered without causing any damage.

"Hey cha?"

The little geodeer looked puzzled after landing.

"Kou Jie——"

Gastly's laughter continued, but a hint of hostility surfaced in its smile.

Clearly, the little rock's sudden attack on Jinghe had displeased it.

at the same time.

Steven summons MetalGreymon, which will immediately stop Geodude if it does anything out of line again.

"Ku!"

The metal monster let out a deep growl at the little geomancy.

The previously arrogant Geodude showed a hint of fear on its face when it saw the Metal Monster, but quickly recovered.

"Hey, hey-cha!"

Jing He saw all of this.

"Teacher Jinghe, I'm sorry, I didn't know it."

Dujuan quickly apologized and made a move to return Geodude to its Poké Ball.

But Jinghe stopped her.

Geodude's sudden attack caught him off guard, but he wasn't scared because Gastly was there.

And when Geodude used "Tackle," an image of Geodude appeared before his eyes in the Pokédex. [Geodude]

[Attribute: Rock, Ground]

[Characteristics: Hard Head]

Master the moves: impact, rounding, playing in the mud, rock grinding, rolling, vibration, falling rocks, blocking the way, holding on, and a million-ton punch.

[Mood: Restless, arrogant]

[Status: Excellent (It has just eaten and is eager to fight)]

[Friendliness: -20 (You're too weak, you don't deserve to call it by its name)]

Too weak.
Dark lines appeared on Jinghe's forehead.

However, it must be said that Cuckoo's Geodude is indeed quite good. As expected of her father's Pokémon descendant, it has inherited a move like "Mega Punch".

Perhaps because he had witnessed the power of Cuckoo's father's Pokémon, he showed disdain for him and Cuckoo, but he was clearly somewhat wary of Steven's MetalGreymon.

The fact that Dujuan didn't use battle to subdue it, and that she probably took good care of it in her daily life, only fueled its arrogance.

The solution to this type of Pokémon problem is actually quite simple.

A little "education" will suffice.

Jinghe decided to do it herself.

It wasn't because Geodude looked down on him; it was because he wanted to give Gastly some practical experience, and this Geodude was definitely a good choice.

Well, that's right.

"Teacher, the little rock..." Du Juan said with some concern.

"I'll give it a try. If all goes well, we can resolve it today," Jing He said calmly.

"Really?" Du Juan asked, her face beaming with surprise.

Daigo was also surprised.

Can it be resolved today?

Jing He didn't explain, but instead said to Little Fist Stone, "Shall we have a fight?"

"Hey cha?"

just you?

Little Geodude glanced at him sideways.

Jinghe smiled.

Without waiting for Geodude's reply, he said directly:
"Gastly, say hello, Black Gaze."

"Kou Jie!"

Upon hearing this, Gastly stared intently at Geodude. When Geodude looked at Gastly, Gastly suddenly put on a frightening expression, and several pairs of eyes immediately appeared around Gastly, staring intently at Geodude.

Little Geodude suddenly shivered, startled.

Anger then rose from the depths of its heart.

"Hey cha!"

Geodude roared angrily, swung its fist, and smashed it at Gastly in the air once again.

"No need to hide, it's a curse."

Jing He took two steps back to create some distance and gave instructions in a calm tone.

Normal-type moves are completely ineffective against Ghost-type Pokémon, and this Geodude, without a trainer's guidance, was clearly unaware of this.

Gastly let out a strange laugh, letting Geodude's fist pass right through it, the eerie laughter seemingly echoing in its own heart.

Then a black shadow shot out from Gastly's body and entered Geodude's body at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, Gastly's originally solid figure became much more erratic.

The little geomancy was startled when it landed, but quickly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that it didn't seem to have been hurt.

Gastly suddenly poked its head out from behind it.

"Kou Jie?"

The scarlet tongue smeared across, and the sticky saliva made Little Geodude shudder.

It felt like it was poisoned?
My hands are a bit weak, and my body isn't responding to my commands.

Geodude was clearly lucky; Gastly's first use of "Lick" in actual combat triggered the "paralysis" effect.

Then it gets even simpler.

Gastly, strange light.

"Hypnosis."

"Will-o'-the-wisp."

"."

Steven and Cuckoo, who had stepped aside, watched the two Pokémon battling—or rather, the one-sided "education"—and almost instinctively exchanged a glance.

"Dujuan, you...didn't provoke Teacher Jinghe, did you?" Daiwu asked in a low voice.

Hearing the calm voice beside her and Gastly's cheerful "giggle," Dujuan instinctively shivered.

"N-No, right? But it seems like Geodude just offended the teacher."

After a short while, the commotion in the area subsided.

This made Dujuan let out a long sigh of relief.

it is finally over.

Just then, Jinghe asked, "Dujuan, did you bring the treatment spray?"

"I brought it," Du Juan replied instinctively.

She looked at Little Stone lying on the ground, his body still covered in debuffs, and he was already unable to fight. She thought to herself:

'It's time to get it treated.'

But then Jinghe said:
"Very good, heal it, then fight it again."

Du Juan: "???"
