Chapter 192: Finally, Mew!
Chapter 192: Finally, Mew!
"Then I'll leave this to you, Daimu."
Jing He said.
"Leave it to me, Teacher!" Daimu nodded solemnly.
After learning that Regirock was being powered by the World Tree's energy, making it nearly impossible to defeat, Daimu understood Jing He's plan. He was confident in his ability to stall Regirock, even for several weeks if needed.
Jing He then turned to Cynthia.
"I'll explain the details on the way."
"I trust you."
Cynthia, though unaware of the specifics, could tell from Jing He and Daimu's serious expressions that the situation was serious. She trusted Jing He unconditionally.
"Lucario," Jing He called out.
"Luca!"
Lucario nodded slightly and led them deeper into the World Tree.
"Rude brat!"
Caitlin, noticing that Jing He had ignored her and made decisions without her input, felt her long, golden curls rise as her eyes glowed with a powerful aura.
Lucario's body tensed, his pupils contracting.
What a terrifying psychic power!
Jing He was also taken aback.
He had forgotten about this young lady!
She was not someone easy to deal with. Her psychic abilities rivaled those of N, but her self-control was lacking. Once she lost her temper, her destructive power could be even more terrifying than Regirock and the others.
However, based on his past interactions and recent observations, Jing He had a clear understanding of Caitlin's psychological and personality traits. She was elegant and noble, exuding arrogance on the surface. But her arrogance stemmed from deep-seated insecurity and a lack of confidence.
In short, the seemingly proud young lady was actually filled with self-doubt.
But knowing this didn't mean he could easily reach her heart. Doing so would undoubtedly provoke her most volatile side.
But just because Jing He couldn't, didn't mean others couldn't.
Cynthia smiled and walked over to Caitlin, gently pulling her into an embrace and stroking her head like one would with a small animal.
"Be good, we have important things to do."
"Ugh," Caitlin grumbled, but the psychic energy around her slowly subsided.
Unseen by Cynthia, Caitlin winked at Jing He like a "victor."
Jing He turned away, speechless.
Really?
Are you just here to cause trouble?
Such a little girl, so full of schemes!
"Let's go."
On the way, Jing He briefly explained the situation.
"The World Tree is sick?"
Cynthia realized the severity of the situation, and even Caitlin's expression grew more serious.
"Here it comes!"
"Here it comes!"
Jing He and Lucario almost simultaneously tensed and shouted.
"Regi!"
A burst of frost shot out from the nearby forest.
"Rhyperior!" Cynthia commanded.
"Roar!"
Rhyperior, sensing the danger, quickly reacted, slashing with a dark red energy-infused scythe.
Bang!
The frost and scythe collided, creating a burst of sparkling ice in the air.
A Pokemon made entirely of ice crystals, with a face marked by cross-shaped lights, appeared before them.
An Ice-type, Regice!
"Gengar, Confuse Ray," Jing He ordered.
"Gengar~"
Without waiting for the command, Gengar appeared behind Regice, throwing a glowing ball while stealthily taking a piece of Regice's body and eating it.
When did you swap abilities with Forretress?!
Jing He's face twitched.
But now wasn't the time to dwell on that.
"Miss Caitlin, I need you to stall this Regice."
Caitlin's eyes widened.
"Why me?"
Jing He sighed and looked at Rhyperior.
It couldn't be Rhyperior, who was quadruply weak to Ice, right?
"Roar?"
Noticing Jing He's gaze, Rhyperior's eyes turned red, ready to "argue" with him.
Who do you think you're looking down on?
"Then why not you?"
Caitlin realized her question was a bit redundant but still asked, not backing down.
"Alright."
Jing He nodded and continued, "Then the task of healing the World Tree is up to you."
He was fine with this arrangement.
Caitlin's expression darkened, and her psychic energy surged, but not at Jing He. It was directed at Regice.
She threw several Poke Balls, and a group of Psychic-type Pokemon, including Gothitelle, Metagross, Sigilyph, and Musharna, appeared beside her.
"Enough of this nonsense."
Muttering, she commanded her Pokemon to attack Regice.
Indeed, the power of a highly skilled Psychic-type user in an unrestricted battle was truly formidable. Within a short time, she had managed to gain the upper hand over Regice.
"Great job, Caitlin," Cynthia praised with a smile.
Caitlin's anger dissipated, her cheeks turning slightly red.
"It's, it's nothing..."
Seeing that Caitlin should be able to handle Regice, Jing He said to Cynthia, "Let's hurry."
"Okay."
The two quickly continued on their way.
Watching them leave, Caitlin's psychic energy grew even more intense, thinking about being left behind and not being able to accompany Cynthia.
It's all because of you!
Regice: ?
"Jasmine isn't actually a bad kid, she's just a bit tsundere."
Cynthia explained as she and Jing He left.
Hearing the intense rumbling behind them, Jing He nodded with a stern face.
Tsundere is for you. For others, it's arrogance.
Not long after the two left,
"Garchomp, Dragon Rush!" Cynthia suddenly shouted.
"Roar!!"
Hearing the command, Garchomp leaped into the air, its massive body diving down like a meteor.
Regice didn't have time to react before the terrifying Garchomp struck.
Bang!!
Landing, Garchomp immediately followed up with an "Earthquake."
Boom—!
The ground crumbled in layers, cracks spreading like spider webs.
Regice was caught off guard by this combination of attacks, unable to mount a defense.
Cynthia and Jing He exchanged glances and nodded at each other.
"Lucario, let's go!"
Jing He said to Lucario.
Without the troublesome Regis to hinder them, the journey ahead was relatively easier.
The crystal derived from the World Tree had partially turned to magma, but the situation was much better than in the movie.
At least,
once inside the World Tree's rocky tunnels, Jing He didn't encounter any crystals that had evolved into ancient Pokemon, devouring humans.
After all,
what triggered the World Tree's self-defense in the movie were the sophisticated detection instruments. Attempting to gather information from the World Tree activated its "immune system," much like how white blood cells in the human body detect and eliminate pathogens.
This time, the World Tree's illness was likely due to the shock experienced by Mew.
Ice Six-Tail Yi had already told Jing He about the changes and reactions he observed in Mew.
"Ultimately, it's all Giratina's fault. I have to find a way to give it a good beating!"
Jing He grumbled to himself as he climbed over a boulder.
Just like a child who suddenly gets scared and falls ill, the World Tree and Mew are closely linked, sharing their power and coexisting.
If Mew falls ill, it affects the World Tree.
Therefore,
the World Tree's symptoms are likely a result of Mew's influence. This was Jing He's guess and assessment.
"Still,"
as he emerged from a tunnel, Jing He looked at the towering World Tree in the distance and opened his mouth.
"How are we supposed to get up there?"
Looking at a mountain from a distance can be deceiving, just like this situation.
Jing He turned to look at Gengar.
Gengar, who was giggling and playing with an ice stone and a piece of metal, suddenly shuddered and instinctively stuffed the stones into its mouth, then looked at Jing He sheepishly.
Meeting Jing He's gaze, Gengar shivered again.
"Geng, geng?"
What do you want, looking at me with those mischievous eyes?
A minute later.
Gengar's face was a picture of misery.
Though it could now fly, carrying Jing He and a Lucario was a tall order. And Minior hadn't evolved yet, so Jing He lacked a Flying-type Pokemon, which was a significant drawback.
"Let's try to make a dead horse walk, Gengar."
Saying this, Jing He prepared to mount Gengar's back.
"Gengar (ノ_<。)"
"Perhaps, you could try getting the wild Pokemon here to help."
At that moment, Lucario spoke through its Aura.
"Hmm?"
"I think you have the talent for it."
Jing He was taken aback.
"You mean—"
"Weren't you the first to hear my Aura messages?"
Lucario spread its arms and closed its eyes.
"Follow my lead."
Do I have a talent for Aura?
Jing He was skeptical but slowly closed his eyes, mimicking Lucario's pose and raising his hands to the sky.
"Feel the energy, the wind, the trees, nature, and the Pokemon."
Lucario's voice echoed in Jing He's mind, guiding him gently.
To Lucario, it seemed natural that Jing He, who could so clearly understand Pokemon and was beloved by so many, would have an innate "Aura" talent.
However,
after three minutes, Jing He opened his eyes in frustration.
"Maybe I should try this."
He pulled out a handful of energy bars.
"Urrr—"
A Dratini, resting nearby, caught the scent of the energy bars and landed in front of him.
"This method works."
Sitting on the Dratini's back, Jing He confirmed.
Lucario: "."
Not everyone can get a wild Pokemon they've never met to help just by offering a few energy bars.
Lucario's view differed from Jing He's.
With Dratini's help,
they finally reached the top of the World Tree, Mew's sanctuary.
"Thank you, Dratini."
Jing He patted the dragon's neck and gave it another handful of energy bars.
"Oh, no, no, no, no need to thank me, Dratini."
Seeing the bananas in Jing He's hand and the happy Dratini flying away, Lucario became even more convinced of its theory.
At the same time,
Jing He saw the adorable little creature curled up among a pile of toys, its head buried in the toys, only its bottom and tail visible.
Mew!
