Chapter 107: I Am Giovanni
Chapter 107: I Am Giovanni
"Kya kya kya~~"
In a restaurant not far from the Kanaz Gym, Gengar was once again using its move, Whirlwind, and its pale complexion was visibly recovering.
"What a lively one."
Seeing its state, Kurenai, wearing her sunglasses, couldn't help but marvel.
Jing He, on the other hand, looked at the towering stack of empty plates in front of him and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Lively?
When Gengar first came out of the Gym, it had really given Jing He a scare.
It just started turning pale without a word.
He even thought that maybe Choaobi had disrupted the magnetic field, causing Gengar to meet the conditions for "communication evolution."
But then he realized that if it were due to Choaobi disrupting the magnetic field, Gengar should have evolved during their battle.
It turns out it was just from overexertion.
"I thought it had mutated," Jing He chuckled, a bit embarrassed.
"Mutation is unlikely, but evolution is a possibility."
Cynthia held the little Vulpix, stroking its fur, and covered her mouth with a light laugh.
"But I remember that Gengar needs communication to evolve, or it needs to find a special magnetic field in the wild. Just the magnetic field from Choaobi isn't enough."
Speaking of evolution.
Jing He was a bit troubled by this.
Gengar needs communication or a special magnetic field to evolve, and Vulpix needs an Ice Stone.
Seemingly understanding his thoughts, Cynthia added:
"Professor Oak has a communication device that Mr. Masuda sent. If you need it, I can put in a good word for you."
She quickly added:
"But the magnetic field from that device isn't very stable, so it depends on luck."
Jing He remembered that communication devices and Pokemon storage systems were developed by Masuda. At this point in time, these devices might not be fully refined.
But it was still an option.
However, an unstable magnetic field could harm Gengar if the evolution failed.
After Gengar had its fill, the three of them left the restaurant.
Cynthia then mentioned that they needed to head to Lilycove City.
"Will you come?"
Calculating the time, the "Youth Tournament" was just a few days away.
Since it was a performance match, they needed to familiarize themselves with the venue and go through the formalities.
"I should be able to make it."
After all, his holiday was almost over, and the mid-term exams would start soon after the semester began.
As a mentor, he hadn't even prepared the exam papers yet.
But with his class schedule, taking a day or two off wouldn't be a problem.
Besides, with three invitation letters in hand, it would be a bit rude not to attend.
In the end.
Jing He watched as Cynthia and Kurenai left on their Gyarados.
He couldn't help but envy the convenience of having a Pokemon that could fly and carry people, saving them the cost of plane tickets.
Back home.
Jing He sat in front of his computer, ready to prepare the mid-term exam papers.
His course was heavily theory-based, so most of the content required memorization, making the exam preparation relatively straightforward.
But before that.
He took out the "Rock Badge" and two "TM" machines and placed them on the table.
"Pretty nice, aren't they?"
After all, these were official badges from the Hoenn League, so the materials were of high quality.
"Better put them somewhere safe, so they don't get damaged by Little Smith. Maybe I'll have a chance to collect all the badges in the future, and it would be nice to have a collection."
As for the two "TM" machines.
"The ones from the Gym are a bit different from those bought from department stores or online. Hmm, what's this?"
Jing He discovered a small compartment inside the two "TM" machines. When he opened it, he found two small, palm-sized booklets.
He flipped through one of them.
"To better learn this move, use Rock Incense and Hard Stone fragments."
Snap!
Jing He quickly closed the booklet.
He glanced back, relieved to see that Gengar and the others were huddled together, discussing something and hadn't noticed him.
After a quick read, Jing He's expression turned grim.
The "TM" machines from the Gym came with "Experience Books" (learning manuals)! They not only had the Gym's new insights and usage methods for the moves but also tips on how to better learn and maximize the move's power!
Oh no.
If he hadn't seen these, he might have been able to resist. But now that he had, could he really stop his Pokemon from becoming stronger?
But if he couldn't resist, his already depleted bank account would be drained even further!
All of these items together would cost him at least a million.
Meanwhile.
"Chu!"
Back home, Little Smith quietly pulled Gengar and Ice Vulpix over.
"Kya?"
"Ow?"
Both Gengar and Ice Vulpix were very protective and caring towards Little Smith, who had just hatched.
Little Smith, with a mysterious look, waved them over again.
Gengar and Ice Vulpix exchanged glances and moved closer.
The three Pokemon huddled together, their heads touching.
"Chu chu!!"
Clunk!
Little Smith opened its hand, revealing a deep blue stone in its pink palm, which seemed to have a special magnetic pull.
"Kya?!"
Choaobi's stone?!
Gengar, who had battled Choaobi, immediately recognized it.
But before it could speak, it covered its own mouth.
Little Blacksmith looked smug, pointing first at the Gastly and then at the stone.
"Chirp"
The meaning was clear: Didn't Gastly need a special magnetic field to evolve?
This stone has a magnetic field!
"Keh~~(ノ_<。)"
Gastly's eyes instantly turned wavy.
You see, Little Blacksmith had an instinct to hammer any metal it saw into its own hammer. This stone, containing rare metals that even Metalix would envy, was something it had resisted using for itself, instead bringing it home secretly for Gastly.
"Chirp?"
Little Blacksmith tilted its head, confused.
"Ow?"
At that moment, the slightly serious voice of the Vulpix spoke up.
You didn't steal it, did you?
They had all seen Little Blacksmith's knack for "borrowing" things.
Though it was for Gastly, stealing wasn't a good habit. If Jing He found out, Little Blacksmith's bottom would be in trouble.
Little Blacksmith quickly shook its head.
"Chirp—Chirp—"
It had taken the stone when it saw the Gym staff cleaning the area and discarding it as trash.
If they don't want it, it's not stealing, right?
The three little Pokemon looked at Jing He.
Seeing him engrossed in a booklet, oblivious to them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ow."
It shouldn't count as stealing. At most, it's... scavenging?
However, a small stone's magnetic field alone wasn't enough to make Gastly evolve. Gastly had licked plenty of stones before.
But the sentiment was genuine.
Jing He patted the little one's head, motioning for it to use the stone.
"Chirp?"
Is it okay?
Little Blacksmith blinked its large, light purple eyes, wide and innocent.
With the approval of Gastly and Vulpix, it excitedly took out its little hammer and started tapping away.
"Phew—"
Jing He let out a long breath, stretching.
He had finished a simple Pokemon psychology test. He could add more later if he thought of anything.
The test's difficulty, in his opinion, was minimal. All the content could be found in textbooks, and as long as the students studied diligently before the exam, they should be fine.
I really am a good teacher.
Looking back at the three little Pokemon, who were behaving, Jing He felt his mood lift.
A peaceful day, how nice.
He picked up his phone and started browsing the comments online.
His popularity had dropped significantly recently, so there weren't many new "patients," and the questions were quite simple.
But as he scrolled, Jing He suddenly saw a comment.
Who Am I: How can I meet
Mewtwo?
Why did the message cut off?
Mewtwo's profile picture was already dim, indicating it was offline.
Meet what? Meet Little Ai 2?
Jing He had always been particularly interested in Mewtwo, the "troubled teen."
However, Mewtwo was clearly under the control of Team Rocket, and even accessing the internet was difficult, let alone contacting him.
As Jing He was thinking about how to help Mewtwo control its "self" next time, a friend request popped up.
King of the Earth: Accept.
Has this person requested before?
Jing He rejected it again.
He had clearly stated on his profile that they should first note the condition of their Pokemon.
There had been many people who applied to be friends without saying anything, but with his popularity down, such requests had decreased.
He didn't expect this person to be so persistent.
Meanwhile.
In Kanto's Vermilion City, in the underground base of Team Rocket.
"Boss, this time we intercepted Mewtwo's communication and successfully locked down the other party's account."
Truebird, holding a tablet, reported truthfully.
Her gaze lingered on the carefully made Meowth cookies on Giovanni's desk, her eyes filled with hope.
"Oh? How did you cut it off?"
Giovanni looked up from his files, noticing the cookies. Feeling a bit hungry, he casually picked one up and popped it into his mouth.
He never had high standards for food.
Seeing this, Truebird's cheeks flushed slightly, and she clenched her fists.
"Hmm?"
Noticing Truebird's silence, Giovanni turned to look at her.
Realizing this, Truebird quickly responded.
"Disconnection, we pulled the power for the entire lab."
Giovanni nodded thoughtfully.
"So, it's that 'Jing He'?"
"Yes, yes."
"Give me your phone."
Taking the phone from Truebird, Giovanni sent a friend request to "Jing He."
However, a few seconds later, he chuckled.
It was rejected.
After some thought, he sent another request.
This time, he identified himself.
King of the Earth: I am Giovanni.
Jing He looked at the friend request on his phone, his mind momentarily blank.
