Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 70 Trick and Invitation (Seeking monthly votes!)
pack?

"Kou Jie——"

Gastly immediately floated to the window, cupped its hands like megaphones, and shouted at the deliveryman downstairs, almost startling him.

Then, Pidgey, trembling with fear, untied the package.

Jinghe smiled when she saw the sender's name.

Adu.

Back then, when Elite Four member Genji delivered packages, it was Dragonite that did it. This time, however, it's Pidgeotto that's delivering packages for Lance. Even though this Pidgeotto belongs to the deliveryman, it feels like it's foreshadowing something.

"Kou Jie~~"

Before the package was even opened, Gastly curiously poked its head inside.

Jing He: "."

After opening.

They discovered it was a move-learning machine, along with an invitation.

Jinghe remembered that when the video of his battle with Adu was uploaded to the internet and caused quite a stir, Adu seemed to have said that he would compensate him with a prop or a move learning machine.

"trick?"

Jinghe's eyes lit up when he saw the moves recorded in the move learning machine.

[Trick: Greatly increases the user's special attack]

"This technique isn't cheap at all. Did Wataru spend a fortune, or was it a gift from Kikuko-sensei?"

"Trick" is similar to "Swords Dance," except that one increases Special Attack and the other increases Physical Attack. These kinds of moves that greatly enhance abilities are often more expensive than most high-power moves.

Of course, it's also harder to learn.

"However, Haunter can learn 'Naughty Trick', and so can Vulpix."

This is what Jinghe is most satisfied with.

Haunter is a Pokémon that excels in special attacks, while Vulpix has a stronger special attack ability than physical attack ability.

One move learning machine serves two purposes.

Blood earned!
"Ghost, this difficult task is entrusted to you."

With a serious expression, Jinghe handed the TM to Gastly and instructed it to watch it with Vulpix and try to learn it together with Vulpix.

"Ku-Ku Jie?"

"Aren't you exceptionally talented? This move shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?" Jing He asked with a suspicious look.

Gastly's expression tightened.

He quickly patted his chest and assured them.

"Ugh! ╭(●｀●)╯"

Pshaw, that's it? Just you wait and see!

After receiving the TM, Gastly turned around and collapsed, letting out a sigh.

Maintaining this ridiculous persona is too difficult. Why pretend to be a genius for no reason?

"Ooh?"

When Gastly saw Vulpix tilting its head and looking at it with an adorable expression, it perked up instantly.

It landed down next to Little Six-Tail and took a deep breath.

Well, it’s exciting!
Jing He smiled calmly.

This wasn't him manipulating Gastly; Gastly started manipulating itself first, and he was just going along with it.

Turn your attention to the invitation.

I took it apart and took a look.

"Ok?"

It turned out to be a ticket.

"VIP seats for the youth exhibition match?"

Jing He was speechless.

"Thank goodness it wasn't an invitation to participate."

In the Pokémon world, there are many tournaments because of Pokémon battles, and most of them are quite popular.

From the highest-level All-League Masters to the lowest-level Baby Cup in a small town, each has its own audience.

The competition can be roughly divided into three forms: exhibition matches, standard matches, and open matches.

Among them, the open-ended competitive tournament format is gradually fading from the Pokémon world as times change.

Standard multiplayer matches are pretty much the mainstream nowadays.

For example, the World Championship, Master Points Tournament, World Gym Master Tournament, Attribute Expert Tournament, etc., all belong to this category.

As for exhibition matches, they are self-explanatory. The organizers invite some well-known players to participate in the competition. Winning or losing doesn't matter, as long as the performance is exciting and entertaining. It doesn't affect the points or rankings.

When will A-Du play exhibition matches again?

However, when Jinghe saw the sponsors...
"Wow, Silver, Devon, Pokémon, and the Battle Company. Their appearance fees are probably going to be outrageous."

Generally speaking, some large companies sponsor exhibition matches mainly to advertise their own new products.

But so many large companies suddenly joined together to sponsor
Don't think about it.

This must be the alliance "stirring things up".

"The venue, Sootopolis City in the Hoenn region?"

Jinghe gently rubbed her chin, several guesses emerging in her mind.

Firstly, the league is preparing to officially bring the Grand Contest to the stage.

Secondly, for some reason, a plan flashed through his mind subconsciously—the Rayquaza capture plan!

"Never mind, it doesn't really concern me."

Jinghe placed the invitation on the cabinet.

Whether or not we go depends on whether he has time.

After packing their things, Jinghe called Gastly and Vulpix and went out.

We took a taxi to the largest electronics store in Kanaz.

This is a huge online store that covers almost all the electronic devices that can be purchased in the entire Pokémon world, such as cell phones, GPS devices, Pokémon watches, Berry Mixers, and so on.

Once inside the electronics store, you'll see not only a dazzling array of goods, but also Electric-type Pokémon everywhere.

There are positively charged and negatively charged patters chasing each other in a hamster-like carousel, an electric monster with a power cord tied to its head and arms waving around, and even an electric dragon engrossed in watching a TV series while holding a bucket of popcorn.
"Kou Jie!"

It's Pi Chao! It's Pi Chao!
Gastly spotted the adorable Pichu that flashed by and exclaimed excitedly.

"Ooh?"

When Sixtails looked in the direction Gastly pointed, the little golden creature was nowhere to be found.

Jinghe brought them to a specialty store for "tree and fruit blenders".

Despite having done some research beforehand, when he actually walked into the store and saw the prices of those "tree and fruit blenders" of all sizes, he couldn't help but grimace.

They often start with tens of thousands.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?"

At that moment, a female saleswoman greeted them with a smile.

"I'd like to ask if you have any used 'tree and fruit blenders'?" Jinghe asked.

"of course."

The saleswoman was very competent and did not show any bad attitude when Jinghe inquired about the used "tree and fruit mixer".

Or rather, there are quite a few people like Jinghe who come to buy second-hand "tree and fruit blenders".

"plz follow me."

The salesperson led Jinghe to a room in the back that resembled a warehouse, filled with shelves displaying all sorts of "tree and fruit blenders." Some of them were obviously quite old, while others were newer, and the prices varied.

"Excuse me for asking, sir, are you a trainer?"

"Well, that's right."

"Then you can take a look at this."

As he spoke, the salesperson took a promotional leaflet from the shelf next to him.

"Kou Jie——"

Gastly took it and handed it to Jinghe, while also leaning its head in.

"The 'Electroc Cup' Trainer Tournament, sponsored by the electronics store? The prizes are..."

click!
suddenly.

The lights in the store flickered briefly and then went out instantly.

"Kou Jie?"

power cut?
The salesperson didn't seem surprised, and simply shouted outside:

"Electric Dragon, thank you for your help."

"Woo~~"

With a soft hum, accompanied by a faint red light like a light bulb, and amidst flickering arcs, the lights in the store quickly returned to normal.

Meanwhile, Jinghe also noticed that other shops seemed to have quickly restored their power supply by using their respective Electric-type Pokémon.

So, are all the electric-type Pokémon people keep as a way to cope with power outages?

But the problem is.

How could there be a power outage in such an important commercial area as the electronics market in Kanaz?
It seems comments have been restored, right?
