Chapter 183: Erodelang City!
Chapter 183: Erodelang City!
Saturday.
Sunlight filtered through the courtyard, and Jing He sat under a tree, organizing his notes.
Before he knew it, the semester was almost over. As a teacher who didn’t have many classes, he couldn’t help but marvel at how quickly time flew by.
Gengar was leading the little ones through some simple warm-up exercises in the courtyard.
Gengar was always quite serious during training.
The Rocket Trio, dressed in waiter uniforms, were huddled by the window, whispering to each other.
"Gengar President is as serious as ever," Koffing sighed.
"Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Teacher Jing He train Gengar President and the others much," Butch remarked, a hint of confusion in his voice.
"Creating a training plan is the hardest part, meow."
Meowth crossed his arms, looking very knowledgeable.
"Have you ever seen Boss Giovanni train? A true strong person first knows how to create a perfect training plan, meow."
As a former pet of Boss Giovanni, Meowth was the most qualified to speak on this matter.
Jing He’s expression was peculiar.
Could you three lower your voices a bit next time you gossip?
But Meowth did have a point.
Pokemon only needed to train, but trainers had to consider many more things.
Just like Giovanni.
Besides creating training plans, he had to manage Team Rocket, figure out how to find his son, and think about whether his son could accept a father who was the leader of Team Rocket.
As for Jing He himself.
He needed to think about how to earn more money to fill the four massive "holes" in his finances.
He also had to keep an eye on Gengar’s condition.
Recently, Jing He had noticed that Gengar was leaving the house in the middle of the night.
At first, he was a bit worried.
But then he realized Gengar wasn’t going to die suddenly.
Since nothing bad had happened, he gradually stopped worrying and let it be.
"Are you three free?"
Jing He couldn’t pretend he didn’t hear their whispers anymore and turned to ask them sternly.
"Caught!" they all exclaimed in unison.
In their eyes, Teacher Jing He, as the highest-ranking officer of Team Rocket’s Kanto branch, who reported directly to Boss Giovanni and even had connections with the Juna family, exuded a strong sense of authority.
"Fin-finished, the morning rush is o-over," Koffing stammered, forcing a smile.
Jing He nodded thoughtfully.
The cafe currently only served coffee, and while there were many varieties, it was indeed a bit mundane.
However, he had to admit that the Rocket Trio had some business acumen; the cafe’s profits were quite substantial.
"Did you clean the cafe? Did you wash the tools? If you have nothing to do, you can go hand out flyers. Do I need to teach you this?"
The trio snapped to attention.
"Yes, Officer!" they chorused.
"Fine you 500." Jing He said calmly.
This was a new rule: calling him "Officer" would result in a 500-poke dollar fine.
The trio froze, as if they could hear the money "whooshing" away.
Five hundred just like that?
Indeed, Gengar President was more friendly. The officer’s authority was—too strong!
Jing He checked the time on his phone.
He closed his heart-shaped notebook and stood up.
"I’m going out for a while. The shop will be in the hands of—"
The trio perked up at this.
If the officer was going to a meeting, didn’t that mean they would temporarily be in charge of the large Kanto branch?!
'This is awesome!' they all thought.
"—Indeedan," Jing He said, addressing the Indeedan by the window.
"Wh-what?" Indeedan was full of question marks.
"Hey?!"
Jing He walked over and gently patted Indeedan’s smooth blue head, then took out a cap with a bear design and put it on Indeedan.
"You can do it, believe in yourself," Jing He said softly.
"Indeed! Indeedan!"
Indeedan’s face turned red, and it saluted!
It looked at the stunned Rocket Trio and pointed to the bear cap on its head (the symbol of the acting president).
Jing He smiled and called out.
"Little ones, let’s go."
"Ooh~~" The Vulpix leaped onto Jing He’s shoulder and affectionately licked his cheek.
The Forretress and Dratini transformed into red light and entered their Luxury Balls for a nap.
"Gengar!"
Gengar grinned, bouncing over and, as it approached Jing He, gave a powerful kick with its short legs, hands clasped in front of its head, and dove into Jing He’s shadow in a perfect diving posture.
Jing He couldn’t help but shiver as he felt the temperature around him drop by 10°C.
He skillfully took out a Limu Berry (Defrost) and popped it into his mouth.
"I wonder if I can survive this winter."
At the Devon Corporation’s private airport in Kanaz City, Daigo, Dujian, and Yasha had already arrived.
This was Jing He’s first official trip.
The destination was the "Erodelang City" that Cynthia had mentioned.
It was said that a large festival was about to take place, with battles and even team battles. The Kanaz Pokemon Academy was among the invited participants.
So Jing He was taking the three little ones along.
Originally, they could have taken a commercial flight, which wouldn’t have been far from the destination.
But it made more sense for Daigo’s private plane to take them directly to the destination.
After the four of them boarded the plane, it took off smoothly.
"Teacher, this is what you asked me to buy."
As soon as they were on the plane, Daigo handed over a Move Tutor.
The move recorder contained a Steel-type move, but it wasn't for the Blacksmith Pokemon. Instead, it was for the Six-Tailed Fox.
Iron Tail!
It all started one day when Jing He, after work, saw the four little ones playing at home.
The Blacksmith Pokemon's hammer accidentally flew out.
Jing He thought the new house would be in for another disaster, but the Six-Tailed Fox, with its agile movements, quickly followed the hammer up the cat tree and caught it with its six tails just before it hit the wall.
Though it was a bit of a struggle, the Six-Tailed Fox managed to slow down the hammer, allowing the Blacksmith Pokemon to catch it and prevent the house from being torn apart.
At that moment, Jing He realized that the Six-Tailed Fox's tails had potential.
Thus, the move "Iron Tail" was chosen.
Imagine this:
Most Pokemon use Iron Tail with just one tail, but the Six-Tailed Fox has six! And after evolving into a Nine-Tailed Fox, it will have nine!
If all of them can be used effectively, the move's power should be formidable.
Moreover, the Six-Tailed Fox had almost finished its small "Ice Stone" and had already learned "Pain Split" and "Roar," entering a brief "vacuum period."
"Thank you."
Jing He took the move recorder and asked:
"How much?"
Daigo knew that Teacher Jing He didn't like taking advantage of his students, so he didn't protest. After a moment's thought, he said:
"Add the cost of the materials, and it's one million."
That was the cost price.
The materials Daigo provided were valuable.
Jing He's mouth twitched.
"Alright."
His savings, which were originally over three million, shrank by nearly a quarter.
'Why do I feel like I'll never be able to afford a high-quality "Ice Stone" in my life?'
Jing He sighed inwardly.
Recently, the expenses for the Mini Dragon had also skyrocketed.
Being a trainer is so hard!
After flying for an unknown amount of time, Gengar pressed its face against the airplane window and gazed out.
"Gengar~~"
Come to think of it, whenever they flew, Gengar would spend 95% of the time pressed against the window.
Jing He looked at Gengar with a peculiar expression.
Are you thinking of dancing too?
Leaning in, he saw the scene outside.
Wait a minute!
This place...
Looking down at the familiar landscape, Jing He was stunned.
Loota City...
What the heck, Loota City?!
Isn't this Orleans City?!
The setting from the movie "Mew and the Lucario: The Aura Legend," Orleans City!
At first, Jing He hadn't paid much attention to "Loota City" since he had barely heard of it and had no impression of it.
Who would bother to remember the name of a city like "Loota City" for no reason?
Why not just say Orleans City?
"Teacher, where are you going? We're not there yet," Yasha couldn't help but ask when she saw Jing He stand up.
Jing He's mouth twitched.
"I'll check where the exit is."
The sun was shining brightly.
The expansive view revealed lush, green mountains with traces of snow, and a long stone bridge teemed with people.
At the end of the stone bridge stood a grand castle made of white stone, surrounded by a golden sea—Orleans City!
According to Jing He, Orleans City was inspired by Germany's Black Swan Castle, but standing on the stone bridge, he felt it was more like...
Mondstadt?
"Teacher?"
Seeing him stand there for a long time, Daigo couldn't help but speak up.
Jing He snapped back to reality and cleared his throat.
"Let's go."
The four of them walked toward the castle.
The stone bridge stood over a vast lake, or rather, the entire Orleans City was situated in the middle of the lake.
As they walked toward the castle, they could enjoy the beautiful natural scenery.
Gengar stood on the stone bridge's railing, spread its arms, and took a deep breath, as if embracing nature.
"Gengar~~"
After winking at Jing He with a wicked grin, Gengar fell off the bridge as if in free fall.
"Teacher, is Gengar okay?" Dujian couldn't help but ask.
She remembered that after evolving from Gastly, Gengar no longer had the "Levitate" ability.
Jing He shook his head.
Sure enough, Gengar soon flew back up.
It flew to the left side of the bridge, then to the right, having a great time.
It even opened its mouth wide, letting the wind rush in.
'Gengar could probably get full from the northwest wind, right?'
"Gengar!"
Gengar flew back and waved at the Ice Six-Tailed Fox in Jing He's arms.
"Ooh."
The Ice Six-Tailed Fox looked a bit worried.
"Go if you want," Jing He said.
Hearing this, the Ice Six-Tailed Fox ran to the edge of the bridge and, at Gengar's signal, closed its eyes and jumped.
Then they saw...
The Ice Six-Tailed Fox riding on Gengar, flying just a few centimeters above the water.
Their reflections appeared on the lake's surface.
"Ooh?"
The Ice Six-Tailed Fox seemed to notice something and turned its head toward the water.
They saw...
A small, pink, cat-like creature in the reflection, smiling at them and wagging its long tail.
"Meow~"
The Ice Six-Tailed Fox and Gengar rubbed their eyes at the sight.
Suddenly, the reflection flashed white, and the pink cat's shadow disappeared, replaced by a Golduck swimming underwater.
"Ooh?"
"Gengar?"
The Ice Six-Tailed Fox and Gengar looked at each other.
Did we get dizzy from the flight?
