Chapter 188: The Aura Warrior
Chapter 188: The Aura Warrior
Pokemon Center.
Under the care of Nurse Joy and the advanced medical equipment, the Machamp quickly regained its vibrant energy.
"You're not using it anyway, right? Without the 'Guts' ability, you keep getting burned."
Jing He looked at the reluctant Machamp, feeling quite helpless but trying to comfort it.
"Chu."
So, did I pretend to be asleep for nothing?
Jing He's forehead darkened.
Okay, okay.
Machamp lowered its head and walked to Hiba, reluctantly handing over the "Flame Orb."
It was clearly a "trophy."
If it were a wild opposing Pokemon, it would have been different, but facing Hiba, Jing He was also at a loss.
Hiba couldn't help but laugh at the pitiful Machamp.
Taking the "Flame Orb," Hiba took out a TM.
"I'll trade this for your 'trophy,' okay?"
"Chu?"
Seeing the TM, Machamp immediately perked up, nodding eagerly and happily accepting it before running over to Jing He.
It even showed off the TM in front of him.
It was the TM for the move "Brick Break."
"Champion Hiba."
"Jing He."
Hiba waved and handed Jing He a book, saying:
"This is a book on fighting techniques. It's not some groundbreaking training advice, but it's the experience I've accumulated over the years."
He glanced at Machamp again, sighing:
"Machamp's innate strength is astonishing. With proper training, it might become a top-tier fighting expert."
Jing He didn't refuse.
He had agreed to battle Hiba to get his guidance for Machamp, to help the little guy improve his strength control, especially in precise strength control.
He sincerely thanked Hiba.
But Hiba added:
"Actually, Jing He, you also have a talent in this area. If you're willing, you can try learning it too."
Jing He was taken aback.
What for?
Fight Pokemon with his bare hands?
Hiba trains and grows alongside his Pokemon, which strengthens their bond and closeness.
In fact, many fighters do this.
Ais of Johto, Fujisaki of Hoenn, Cornelia of Kalos, and Tabea of Galar, among others.
But Jing He didn't feel the need to deepen his bond with his Pokemon in this way.
"Also,"
Hiba hesitated for a moment before adding:
"Machamp can train using my methods, but they aren't the ultimate techniques. The style I practice isn't a perfect fit for it. With its strength, it would be better suited to learn the 'One Hit' style."
"One Hit style?"
In Jing He's mind, the image of a Martial Doer with black fur appeared.
"That's the ultimate technique mastered by the former Galarian Champion, Mustard. He's been missing for some time, but if you ever meet him, you might be able to learn from him."
Mustard!
The former Galarian Champion, a fighter, and hailed as the strongest champion in history, with an unbeaten record of 18 years!
After stepping down, he traveled extensively and eventually bought a remote island, living as a hermit on the Isle of Armor.
He is also the mentor of the future Galarian Champion, Dande.
The current Galarian Champion is named Pioni.
Speaking of which...
The Galar region really likes to call their champions the "strongest champions."
Shaking off his wandering thoughts, Jing He nodded.
"Alright."
The Galar region and the Isle of Armor?
If he has the chance, he'll visit.
Colorful fireworks lit up the night sky, and the entire city of Orudlang was immersed in the festive atmosphere.
"Fine, I'll skip being the 'Aura Warrior.'"
As invited guests, Jing He and his companions naturally had the right to attend the banquet hosted by Queen Aileen, which was also the ceremony to bestow the title of "Aura Warrior" and crown the hero.
Initially, Jing He had a chance to win the "Aura Warrior" title.
The title itself wasn't important; it was mainly for the prize money and rewards.
However, after battling Hiba and treating Machamp at the Pokemon Center for a while, and since he had already defeated Hiba and the Elite Four, no one else came to challenge him, causing him to miss out on the "Aura Warrior" title.
But in his view, it might not be a bad thing.
"Teacher, you look..."
Stepping out of the changing room in a formal evening gown, Dujuan blushed when she saw Jing He in a black suit with gold trim.
"Pretty good, right?"
Jing He, adjusting his cufflinks in the mirror, smiled and asked.
Daigo, also in a suit, walked up and handed him a monocle:
"Teacher, I think this suits you."
The last time at the school festival, Daigo had seen Jing He wearing a monocle and thought it looked perfect on him, so he had specially ordered one as a gift.
Dujuan walked over and picked up a black cane.
"Add this, and you're perfect."
"Alright."
Jing He put on the monocle and held the black wooden cane, looking at himself in the mirror and muttering:
"Doesn't look like a good guy at all."
"Wow! Teacher, you look so handsome today!"
Yasha, who had also just come out of the changing room, shouted excitedly.
Yasha, if you can talk, say more.
"Daigo looks pretty good too," Yasha patted Daigo's shoulder.
Her voice drew the attention of many people in the large room.
But these two are indeed very handsome, equally so.
How can I get them to ask me to dance at the ball?
For a moment, many of the ladies in the room blushed.
After changing into her own outfit, Jing He started dressing up the little ones.
She put a snow-white princess dress on the Weavile.
It was undeniable that the white princess dress perfectly matched the Weavile’s snow-white fur.
"Ooh!"
Jing He pretended to wipe her eyes, chuckling, "I thought you were getting married."
"Ooh! (Surprised Expression)"
At that moment, the sound of "clank clank clank" echoed as the Forretress, now clad in heavy Dragon Knight armor, walked over.
However, the Dragon Knight’s lance had been replaced with a hammer.
As for the Dragon Knight’s dragon...
"Roar!"
The Minidragon pouted, looking reluctant as it was dragged over by the Forretress.
But after the Forretress whispered something in its ear, the Minidragon perked up and blinked at Jing He.
Emmmm...
For some reason, Jing He felt that the Minidragon wasn’t really reluctant but was just looking for a good deal.
Why did it feel like the last sprout in the family was growing crooked?
"Gengar!"
Gengar put on a black coat and a tall top hat with a red bow.
Jing He rubbed her chin, "Are you here to perform magic, Gengar?"
Gengar, irritated, pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.
"Gengar! (Sarcastic Expression)"
Not speaking doesn’t mean you’re mute!
In the grand palace, the Queen, dressed in a magnificent gown and crown, handed the Alaron Staff, symbolizing the "Aura Guardian," to a seemingly ordinary boy.
She then turned to the crowd in the hall, slowly raising her hand.
"To honor the 'Aura Guardian' Alaron, who protects our peace, let’s celebrate tonight!"
The banquet officially began.
Jing He brought the little ones straight to the buffet area.
A long table covered in white cloth, beautifully decorated, was filled with all sorts of food.
There were specialties from the Kanto region, as well as delicacies from Eterna City, and a variety of desserts like macarons, mousse, and souffles.
"Gengar?" Gengar swallowed.
Can we really eat as much as we want?
"Technically, yes."
He quickly added, "But don’t go overboard. Leave some for others."
Hearing this, Gengar, who had already picked up a plate and was about to shovel everything in, paused.
"Gengar?"
Leave some?
It looked thoughtful for a moment, then took a macaron from the plate and placed it on the table.
Then it shoved the rest into its mouth.
Jing He: "..."
Whatever.
It’s not mine, so let it eat as much as it wants.
The Weavile and the others had also found their own food.
The Old Jing family always took their meals seriously.
Jing He also picked up a macaron and popped it into her mouth.
"Speaking of which, as long as the ingredients are available, Sazuro should be able to make these, right?"
Decided.
When they get back, she’ll have Sazuro try making them.
Having only coffee in the cafe isn’t quite right.
Suddenly, a girl in an elegant dress, with a delicate face, mustered the courage to walk up to Jing He. Blushing, she asked, "S-Sir, could I have the honor of a dance?"
Jing He paused.
To be honest, the girl... was quite pretty.
But...
Jing He’s face turned awkward, and she apologized, "Sorry, I don’t know how to dance."
The girl’s face fell with disappointment, but she quickly nodded, "S-Sorry for the interruption."
She then ran off.
Watching the girl join her friends, her face turning even redder amid their laughter, Jing He sighed.
"Ooh?"
The Weavile, thinking about what to eat, suddenly bumped into something.
Looking up, it saw a cute pink cat with a smile.
"Meow~"
Whismy (formerly Jigglypuff) playfully greeted the Weavile and transformed into an identical Weavile.
"Ooh~"
The little Weavile blinked, rubbed its eyes, and confirmed it wasn’t seeing things.
The cute sight made Whismy very happy, and it transformed back, laughing joyfully.
"Meow~ Meow~"
It spun in circles in the air.
"Roar?"
Hearing the commotion, the Minidragon also came over.
"Meow~"
Seeing this, Whismy smiled again and transformed into the Minidragon.
"Roar?! (Surprised Expression)"
The Minidragon’s expression made Whismy laugh so hard that it rolled on the ground in the air.
Gengar, who was sitting on the ground and devouring the food, suddenly paused.
"Gengar?"
Confused, it pulled out a phone from its mouth.
On the screen, a small, cute, and adorable version of Kyogre appeared.
"Gengar~"
Gengar didn’t seem surprised and grinned, greeting it.
Want some cake?
It held a small piece of cake in front of the screen.
Gengar: This is my electronic pet.
Kyogre: This is my "alt."
Buzz—
The screen shimmered with a faint light, and the cake in Gengar’s hand disappeared.
At the same time, Kyogre seemed to convey some information, communicating with Gengar.
"Gengar?"
Hearing this, Gengar’s eyes widened slightly, and its gaze slowly fell on the staff held by the "Aura Guardian."
A glint of interest appeared in its eyes.
A good thing?
