Chapter 115: Do You Think You're a Giratina?
Chapter 115: Do You Think You’re a Giratina?
Three million and a monthly salary of a million are nothing compared to the cost of raising three Pokemon.
Just buying a "Power Bracer" for the little Blacksmith cost him eight hundred thousand. Fortunately, with the "Power Bracer," the Blacksmith's exaggerated strength was finally under control, and there wouldn't be any unexpected destruction at home for the time being.
In the not-so-loud "huffing" of the "Berry Mix Machine," a brand new energy bar was created.
This energy bar used higher-grade and better-quality Berries, combining Mikel's recipe and insights for making energy bars.
As soon as it was made, the aroma immediately filled the entire room.
"Chirp!"
Smelling the aroma, the little Blacksmith was ready to pounce and taste it.
But it was stopped by the little Vulpix.
Even the usually greedy Gastly didn't step forward.
The little Blacksmith blinked in confusion.
"Chirp?"
"Grrr~"
Do you not know? Every time Jing He makes new energy bars...
"What kind of look is that?"
What happened to the basic trust between Pokemon and their trainers?
"Grrr~"
You should try it first.
"Is there a trainer who tries energy bars?" Jing He glared.
"Grrr"
Didn't you always take our food?
"Growl~"
"Chirp~"
The Ice Vulpix and the little Blacksmith nodded in agreement.
A black line appeared on Jing He's forehead.
In the end, under the watchful eyes of the three little ones, he picked up a translucent energy bar.
After a brief hesitation, he put it in his mouth.
As the energy bar was bitten, a sweet and sour taste instantly bloomed on his taste buds.
Even more surprisingly, he could clearly feel a warm current spreading in his stomach after swallowing the energy bar, making him feel more energetic.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Under the scrutinizing gaze of Gastly and the others, Jing He muttered, "Looks like I have the potential to become a great trainer and a Pokemon breeding master."
Hearing him say such an unguarded statement, Gastly and the others immediately understood.
This energy bar must be really delicious!
For a moment, the three little ones rushed over!
Gastly & Ice Vulpix & Blacksmith: (`)
"Good morning, Jing He."
Just as Jing He was about to open the door to the school counseling room, he ran into Dr. Solance.
"Dr. Solance? It's been a while since I've seen you. Did you go digging for rocks again?"
Jing He looked surprised.
Thinking about it, it had indeed been a long time since he had seen Dr. Solance, almost a month?
Although the school wasn't that strict with non-core subject teachers, taking a month off and not getting fired was still impressive.
"Ah."
Dr. Solance waved his hand.
"I was invited to do research at the Green Ridge Cosmic Center and I informed the school."
The Green Ridge Cosmic Center?
That was the largest astronomical center in the Hoenn region, and it was said that the first traces of Rayquaza were discovered there.
It was originally backed by the Big Violet Corporation, but after Big Violet's collapse, it was taken over by Devon Corporation.
"Did you come back for the midterm exams?" Jing He teased with a smile.
"Exactly."
Dr. Solance looked exasperated, scratching his messy hair, looking very tired.
"I stayed up all night grading papers and haven't slept yet."
Jing He couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Never mind, I'm going to get some sleep. I'll lock the door later. If anyone looks for me, please handle it for me."
With that, Dr. Solance prepared to head back to his office.
"Wait a moment."
Jing He suddenly called out to him.
"Hmm?"
Under Dr. Solance's puzzled gaze, Jing He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dr. Solance, there's something I haven't told you. The last time you came for hypnotherapy at my place..."
Then, Jing He recounted the story of how the Gastly in the stone came to live with him and how he accidentally captured it.
At the time, he didn't tell Dr. Solance because he thought someone might be after the stone, which was dangerous.
And indeed, it turned out to be true.
But now it seemed the danger had passed, so there was no need to keep it a secret.
Before Jing He could finish, Dr. Solance stopped him, smiling, "Oh, I thought it was something serious. If you think about it, Gastly had been sleeping in that stone for who knows how many years. It's the real owner of the stone, and I'm the 'thief.'"
"That's true, but I still felt I should tell you."
Dr. Solance patted Jing He's shoulder.
"I just like to research the 'stories' behind unique stones. Once the 'mystery' is solved, they don't mean much to me anymore."
He wasn't like Arceus, who collected all kinds of stones. He was just passionate about finding, researching, and exploring.
Just like books.
Some people are interested in both the stories in books and collecting various books.
Others are simply interested in the content of the books.
"My only request is that if Gastly remembers any stories in the future, you can tell me if it's convenient."
With that, Dr. Solance yawned and walked back to his office.
After hanging the "Out" sign and locking the door, Jing He smiled without saying anything more.
"Green Ridge Cosmic Center."
He finally realized what was going on.
"Could it be that they've discovered a massive meteorite?"
That would be a serious issue.
"But wouldn't that have to wait until Dianthus became the Champion?"
The current Dianthus wouldn't stand a chance against the relentless attacks of Gyarados and Blastoise.
So, it was unlikely to be about a massive meteorite.
Back in the counseling room, the mid-term exams had already started, but Jing He wasn't assigned any proctoring duties, so he was quite happy to have some free time.
He brewed a cup of coffee and let the three little ones play around in the counseling room. Sitting at his desk, he skillfully opened his computer.
As soon as he logged into the League's official website, he saw an explosive headline.
Shocking! 'Ice Queen' Koga Single-handedly 'Defeats' New Investigator 'Dragon Messenger' Gawa!
Spit—
Jing He nearly spat out the coffee he had just taken a sip of.
When he clicked on the article, it turned out to be a battle between Koga and Go. However, the photographer was only able to capture the beginning before Koga noticed and froze the camera into a block of ice.
The "single-handed defeat" claim was purely sensational.
"Brilliant marketing."
This morning, he had said that the Pokemon world's advertising industry lacked talent. This was a prime example.
This news was already viral, but Jing He noticed another piece of news that was quickly gaining even more attention.
"Cynthia and a Man Stroll Together in Jade City! Photos to Prove It!"
???"
When he clicked on it, he saw that it was indeed a photo of him and Cynthia on a boat heading to the "Eternal Tree" in Jade City.
However, in the photo, not only was Cynthia's face obscured, but even his own back was barely visible.
Most of the photo was dominated by a Gastly making a "Yay" gesture and grinning wickedly.
Jing He: "..."
The comments below were quite entertaining.
"Damn! Is the blogger trying to scare us?"
"Start with a photo, and the rest is all made up. What a 'proof by photo'!"
"What?! Cynthia has a boyfriend? My youth is over. Oh, it's just a ghost story. Never mind."
"I can vouch for the blogger. This is real because the man sitting across from Cynthia is me!"
"..."
A variety of comments, mostly teasing and skeptical.
But the catchy headline had generated a lot of buzz, quickly surpassing the popularity of the Koga "defeat" Gdo video.
However, the blogger who posted the photo didn't seem willing to give up and added a comment:
"I swear by Kyurem, this is true! And the guy is pretty handsome..."
"Tsk."
Jing He clicked his tongue and decided to like, coin, and follow the blogger.
Gastly had appeared behind Jing He, cackling.
"Jehehe~"
Am I not handsome?
"Didn't you see this earlier and tell me?" Jing He couldn't help but ask.
"Jehe?"
Gastly blinked.
What does it matter to you if I'm the one in the photo?
You have a point!
Indeed, in the photo, Gastly was the "main character."
As Jing He scrolled down, he saw another interesting comment.
"Speaking of which, I've seen this too, in Kanaz City. And I took photos, but..."
This person also posted a few photos.
But without exception, in every photo, there was Gastly making a "Yay" gesture!
Jing He was a bit taken aback.
He turned to look at Gastly, who was rubbing his chin and frowning, muttering to himself.
"Jejeje"
This one isn't good, this one is okay, this one doesn't work...
Jing He quietly picked up his phone and took a photo of the Glaceon lying on the single sofa.
Click!
But when he opened the photo, he saw—
It was Gastly making a "Yay" gesture again!
Gastly cackled.
"Jehehe!"
This one is good!
Jing He then took a few more random photos around the counseling room.
But every photo had Gastly in it!
"Jehe?"
Are you trying to make a collection of photos of me? Wait while I put on some makeup first.
Jing He: "..."
Do you have some kind of ability called "Always the Main Character in Photos"?
You act like you're Kyurem with such a strong camera presence.
Jing He looked at the photo frame on his desk.
The photo he had taken with Cynthia and her Pokemon at the "Eternal Tree" was still fine.
And the photos they took at the school festival recently were all normal.
While Gastly was very eye-catching, he didn't dominate the entire photo.
In the end, Jing He concluded that he probably didn't have to worry about anyone taking incriminating photos of him.
It was a half-decent piece of news.
In the afternoon, the mid-term exams ended. During the mid-term mentor meeting, under the strong insistence of Gastly and the others, Jing He submitted an application to participate in the "Battle Trainer" mentor certification.
In the morning, he took the kids for a health check-up.
