Chapter 227: Spot-On Judgment!
Chapter 227: Spot-On Judgment!
Kanaz Beach.
Considering Danti's notorious sense of direction, the old headmaster of Kanaz Pokemon Academy sent someone to pick him up as soon as he arrived in Kanaz City. This ensured that Jing He's training (and leisure) time wouldn't be wasted, saving him quite a bit of time.
Once in the car, Danti called Master Masuda.
"Hey, Little Danti."
Masuda, who was deftly handling the controls on Arm Island, laughed.
"Master, I met Teacher Jing He today," Danti said.
"Oh? How did it go?"
Masuda knew Danti well and was aware that he would certainly challenge Jing He if they met, so he asked casually.
"I lost," Danti sighed. "The gap was significant."
Even though Jing He claimed that the "Eevee" wasn't his, Danti didn't quite believe it.
"Hmm?"
Masuda was slightly taken aback. He knew Danti's character well, and for him to admit such a large gap in strength, it must mean the opponent was far more powerful.
He replied, "So, Little Jing He is that strong?"
"Yeah."
Danti nodded. "He has immense strength and a deep bond with his Pokemon."
After a pause, he continued, "Teacher Jing He seems to respect the wishes of his Pokemon. He focuses on quality rather than quantity, and he only has four Pokemon so far."
"Four? Huh?"
In the Pokemon world, trainers who focus on a few Pokemon and strive for quality are not uncommon, so it wasn't particularly surprising. After all, not everyone can be like Champion Kusagi, who trains an entire "Ghost Legion."
However, it was still rare to see someone at Danti's level who hadn't even completed their team.
"By the way, Master, Teacher Jing He accepted your invitation," Danti added.
Upon hearing this, Masuda put down the controller, pressed his hat down, and slowly stood up, his hands in his pockets. A hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
"Great, have Little Jing He come over soon. I'm getting bored~"
"Ah-choo!"
Jing He sneezed and rubbed his nose.
"Is it getting cold enough for a sea breeze to make me catch a chill?"
That couldn't be it. With his resistance to cold, he could theoretically survive a night in the snow without dying.
"Mew~"
Mew was delighted, playing with the music box Jing He had given it. The delicate ceramic box, when wound up, played a pleasant "ding-dong" sound, and a cute Froslass spun on top.
Mew clearly adored the music box.
Afterward, Jing He bought a few more trinkets from a beachside stall that Mew found interesting. Then, he took the tired little Pokemon to the supermarket to stock up on snacks for Mew and ingredients for dinner.
It was then that Jing He finally understood how Mew had grown so chubby.
As soon as they got home, Mew eagerly opened a large bottle of soda, curled up on the sofa, and drank from the bottle, which was bigger than it was, with a loud "chug-chug-chug."
Jing He watched as Mew's round, fluffy belly visibly inflated.
"Burp~"
With Mew's eyes squinting in satisfaction, its belly shrank noticeably.
Oh no.
Jing He couldn't help but facepalm.
He had turned little Mew into a little couch potato.
It wasn't a big deal, but what if Mewtwo ever met Mew like this? This made Jing He ponder.
"Children, don't watch."
Jing He covered the wide-eyed Furret's eyes and placed it aside.
While a chubby Mew was cute, if Furret learned and couldn't control its growth, ending up looking like a Gardevoir, Jing He feared he might go insane.
As for Mew, Jing He didn't doubt that the shape-shifting Pokemon could change its size if it wanted to; it just chose not to.
After that, Jing He prepared a lavish dinner, giving Mew a rare treat.
The little Pokemon's mouth was dripping with oil.
By the time dinner was over, it was already dark. The days were getting shorter and the nights longer as winter approached.
Perhaps due to Mew's good appetite, the other little Pokemon also had unusually hearty appetites.
Jing He wasn't worried about Gengar, but if the other three got too fat, he would have a headache.
So, after dinner, Jing He took them for a rare walk by the river behind the cafe.
"Ooh?"
At the river, they saw tiny, faintly glowing insects gathering on the water's surface, creating a miniature starry sky with the gentle stream and the reflections on the water.
They had been living at the cafe for a while, but this was their first time taking a walk by the river and seeing fireflies.
Mew, however, was less surprised, as it lived in the secluded wilderness of the World Tree.
"Gengar~"
Gengar floated over the river and swallowed a cluster of fireflies in one "aowww."
"Chu?"
"Raa?"
Seeing this, Forretress and Haxorus tilted their heads in confusion.
But Gengar seemed to get into the spirit, and after a few more "aowwws," it had swallowed nearly a hundred fireflies.
Jiang Jiang!
It pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, then placed its hands on its hips.
Slowly.
Gengar's body began to become hazy, tiny points of light appearing on its form.
"Roar!"
"Pikachu!"
"Ow!"
"Mew!"
Seeing this, the little ones all looked surprised and delighted.
Is it possible to do this?
Jing He's expression was strange.
"Cough, cough, Gengar, I know it's a bit late to say this, but—"
He looked at Gengar and said slowly, "Back in my hometown, there's a saying, 'rotten grass turns into fireflies.' Don't you think it's a bit... smelly?"
"Gengar?!"
Gengar hadn't really noticed until Jing He mentioned it.
"Ugh—"
Gengar opened its mouth wide and spat out all the fireflies it had caught.
The little ones burst into laughter, and Mew even rolled around on the ground dramatically.
"Mew~ Mew~~"
Gengar had already learned its lesson long ago.
After their walk,
When they got home, Jing He prepared everything Mew needed.
They watched a movie together, then sat on the bed, and Jing He told them a few stories.
The story of "Momotaro's Rice Balls" was a favorite.
Finally,
After Gengar turned off the lights,
Jing He held Ice Sixtail on his left, Mew on his right, and had the Iron Throat perched on his head, while Haxorus curled up at the foot of the bed. They all drifted off to sleep.
"Mew~~"
The next morning,
When Jing He woke up,
He noticed that Mew was gone.
While Mew could teleport almost anywhere it wanted, its connection to the World Tree meant it couldn't stay away for too long.
Jing He wasn't surprised by Mew's disappearance.
All he could do was make sure Mew had a happy and fulfilling time.
Then, he received a call from the old principal.
"Teacher Jing He, I heard you accepted old man Masuda's invitation?"
"Uh, yeah, that's right."
"Great news!" The old principal laughed. "I've already had someone book you a first-class ticket to the Galar region."
Wait a minute.
Old principal, you move fast, don't you?
Jing He had agreed to Masuda's invitation, but he hadn't decided when to go. Was this a rush job?
"Don't worry about the expenses. Our academy strongly encourages teachers to go on professional development trips to improve our teaching quality."
The old principal continued cheerfully, "So, all your expenses for the trip to the Galar region will be covered by the academy."
What a deal!
Jing He's eyes lit up.
A free trip.
And it was his turn.
This time was different from his last trip to Eulderon City.
Eulderon City was an ancient and historic city, but since the royal family covered their expenses, it didn't cost much.
But the Galar region—
Jing He was already thinking about it.
Should he try to get a Dynamax Band in the Galar region and have the academy reimburse him?
At this time,
If he wanted a Dynamax Band, he could either go through the Malocon Group or the Galar region's authority, Professor Wood.
"Alright, I understand, Principal."
He put away his phone and announced to the little ones,
"We're going on a trip to the Galar region!"
Hearing this,
The little ones all jumped up in excitement.
Especially Iron Throat, who was the most excited.
Wait a minute!
At this moment, Jing He suddenly realized.
The Galar region is where Steelix and Corviknight are most common, right?
Speaking of which,
The Galar region is different from the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions, which are relatively close and familiar with each other.
To visit the Galar, Alola, Kalos, Unova, and Paldea regions, you need to go through the Pokemon visa process.
Especially for the Galar and Paldea regions, the visa process is quite complex.
This is to prevent theft and smuggling.
It also serves as a form of protection for regions that the Pokemon League developed later.
But the old principal had already told him that the visa for the Galar region was already arranged.
This means—
"That old man had already planned for me to go to the Galar region!"
"Hmph! Using a 'free trip' to lure me in."
He knows me too well!
The long flight.
The Galar region was really far from Hoenn.
Even with the comfort of first-class and the attentive service of the flight attendants, Jing He still felt a bit sore and stiff.
Fortunately,
The announcement over the intercom informed them that the plane was about to land in Hammerlocke City, the largest city in the Galar region.
Hammerlocke City was filled with skyscrapers, bustling and prosperous, not unlike Kanaz City in Hoenn.
The headquarters of the Pokemon League in the Galar region was located here, as well as the tallest building in the region, the Rose Tower.
But shortly after Jing He stepped out of the airport,
A jeep skidded around a corner in a rather "stylish" manner and headed straight toward him.
