Chapter 276: Lycanroc-Midnight Form, Don't Run!
"How do you feel?"
Gengui took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, giving Jinghe a thumbs up.
"Hngga!"
What a relief!
"Haha," Jinghe chuckled.
Gengui felt much better, even though many others might not be in the best mood.
But what ill intentions could a cute Gengui have?
It just wanted to have a good battle, nothing more.
Especially since this request came from his opponent.
Gengui: I've never heard of such a request, hngga!
The one-hit-six was purely accidental; enjoying the battle is the real deal.
But now...
"Run for it!" Jinghe exclaimed.
He could sense the audience's restlessness, as they started gathering around them. He wasn't sure if they were there to celebrate or to give them a beating.
However, he was just a step too slow, or perhaps someone else was quicker.
A group of journalists had already blocked the exit of the player's corridor.
Jinghe was about to be grilled by the media.
A barrage of microphones was thrust towards his face.
At that moment, Gengui took out his sunglasses, stood behind Jinghe like a bodyguard, and struck a pose without saying a word.
Jinghe was left speechless by Gengui's antics.
Fortunately, the arena staff intervened, separating the journalists from Jinghe and allowing them to ask some questions.
"Jinghe, now that you've made it to the finals, what are your thoughts?"
But as soon as the question was asked, the journalist received a collective eye-roll from his peers.
Hey, in a situation like this, you ask such an uninteresting question?
Jinghe scratched his head.
"Huh? Am I already in the finals?"
Pfft—
The surrounding audience, who had initially found the question pointless, were now sputtering, having choked on their drinks due to Jinghe's response.
Wow.
No wonder he's Jinghe, saving the journalist from his colleagues' disdain.
Jinghe earned a grateful glance from the journalist.
"Jinghe, you've only sent out one Pokemon in almost every round, and now five have appeared. Will the sixth one be in the finals?"
The journalist continued without waiting for Jinghe's response.
"Will the sixth one be a Legendary or Mythical Pokemon?"
Jinghe glanced at the journalist.
"I don't find your joke the least bit funny."
Legendary or Mythical? He'd love to, but did he have any?
"Jinghe, Gengui's tactics were unpredictable, making it...unbearable to look back on. Do you have a grudge against Raiden?"
How dare you speak like that? Watch out for a defamation lawsuit.
Jinghe rubbed his temples.
"I believe that giving it my all in a battle is the greatest respect to my opponent. Moreover, Raiden hoped I wouldn't hold back before the match..."
"So, did you hold back?"
Jinghe replied earnestly with a straight face, "I don't think so."
"Jinghe, what motivated you to treat the Quartz Conference like a Baby Cup?"
Jinghe's eyes widened.
"What? The Quartz Conference competitors are so strong; how could it be a Baby Cup? Besides, I'm just a novice trainer."
"Then, will you participate in other regional conferences?"
Other regional conferences?
"Probably."
He had intended to say "no," but he couldn't be too absolute in his response.
What if the other regional conferences offered substantial prizes?
"Well, it depends on the situation."
After being bombarded with questions, Jinghe finally had enough and fled with Gengui.
The interview with him soon appeared as headlines in various news sections across different regions.
Kanto News: "Jinghe: Making it to the Finals? It's a Piece of Cake, I Didn't Even Feel It!"
Joto Evening News: "Preview: A Legendary or Mythical Pokemon May Appear in the Quartz Conference Finals!"
Sinnoh Storm News: "Jinghe: I Didn't Even Try Hard, and My Opponent Fell!"
Unova Entertainment Headlines: "Jinghe May Participate in Unova's Hinoki Baby Cup!"
Hoenn Pepsi News.
When Jinghe saw these headlines, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
No.
You journalists just ask questions and then twist the answers to create headlines, right?
Pachira, I'll remember this!
Quartz Plateau, Player Village.
More and more familiar faces gathered here.
Not only Da Wu, Du Juan, Yasha, Ash, and others, but also some of the previous competitors.
For example, Ota and Melanie, who had been defeated by Jinghe, didn't appear too dejected. Instead, they celebrated with Jinghe.
In fact, being swept by Jinghe gave them a common topic to discuss.
Ota: "You're amazing!"
Melanie: "You're not bad either."
They exchanged a knowing smile, words unspoken.
Jinghe's time now, but the future is mine!
This was their shared sentiment.
And.
To be honest.
Whether it was Ota, who lost in the first round, or Melanie, who made it to the quarterfinals, they were both swept by Jinghe.
No one was better than the other.
Even Raiden, who reached the semifinals, was in the same boat.
So, Ota equals Melanie equals Raiden!
No problem there.
This gave them renewed confidence.
"Ado, what brings you here?"
Jinghe was taken aback when he saw Ado, who had just arrived on a Dragonite, looking a bit disheveled.
Aren't you undercover in Team Rocket?
Isn't Team Rocket planning to target that crazy Pokemon collector?
"Haha, it's your finals, and it's right here at the Quartz Plateau. I had to come and see it." Ado flashed a bright smile.
Then, leaning closer to Jinghe, he whispered, "The mission hasn't started yet. They said they wanted to give us a break, considering the upcoming winter holidays."
Jinghe's eyes widened slightly at Ado's words.
No.
Does Team Rocket offer such good benefits?
They even have year-end vacations?!
The New Year in the Pokemon world is on January 1st, around the same time as Jinghe's understanding.
But it's only been a short while since the beginning of December, right?
"They also gave us some small gifts." Ado smiled.
Tsk.
Jinghe smacked his lips.
No wonder the Rocket Trio was so loyal to Team Rocket.
At that moment, Jinghe and Da Wu, who were at the door, felt a cold gaze upon them.
Following the gaze, they saw Koga with a stern expression.
Jinghe silently took a breath.
Damn, I forgot to tell Da Wu that Koga was here too. It was unexpected for Da Wu to return suddenly.
Jinghe quietly took a step back, but Da Wu chose to confront Koga head-on. He raised his eyebrows, surprised, and said, "Yo, old lady, I didn't expect you to be here too?"
Bang!!
The Ice Queen's icy facade instantly melted, and she stood up with a "bang," laughing coldly, "You dare challenge me, Koga? Let's go to the training field right now!"
"Hmm? My surname is 'Koga,' and what did you say? I can't hear you."
Jinghe: "."
Da Wu, you're not thinking about your future at all.
If you can't get past Koga, how will you ever lead Kanto in the future? Du Juan, Da Wu, Yasha, and the others were also drawn to the commotion.
Du Juan whispered, "It's like Koga becomes a different person when she meets Mr. Da Wu."
Da Wu opened his mouth, "Actually, Mr. Da Wu is the same."
This wasn't the first time he had seen Koga and Da Wu in this state; during the last exhibition match, they almost got into a fight.
Koga scoffed at Da Wu's feigned ignorance, and a Poke Ball appeared in her hand. "If you don't come, you're not a man!"
She stood up, ready to walk outside.
Fortunately, Jinghe stopped her.
In response to Koga's icy gaze, Jinghe instinctively took a half-step back and forced a smile.
"Ahem, Koga, don't go. There's someone on the training field."
"Someone?"
Both Koga and Da Wu were taken aback.
"It's Ash and Champion Shiba."
???
A question mark appeared above everyone's heads.
Ash?
Shiba?
These two names separately were fine, but together, they felt strange.
Jinghe's mouth twitched, and he muttered two words.
"Brawl, fighting."
Hiss—
The atmosphere in the living room became eerily quiet.
"Haha—it seems Ash has some talent in fighting too," Dr. Oak forced a laugh, breaking the silence.
Then, he called Jinghe aside.
Jinghe felt relieved.
"Dr. Oak, what message do you want me to deliver to Champion Juezi?"
"Can you give this photo to Juezi for me? Hmm?" Dr. Oak said as he took out a photo and then hesitated.
"Ahem, that's not what I wanted to talk to you about."
Jinghe glanced at him.
Why are you still carrying the photo with you then?
You're a hypocrite!
"I wanted to say that after this tournament, if you have time, you can go to Kaget Town," Dr. Oak said, rubbing his nose.
"Kaget Town?"
Isn't that Liubo's territory?
"Liubo has high praise for your Ice Nine-Tails. If you're willing, you can go to Kaget Town, and he can help make your Ice Nine-Tails stronger," Dr. Oak explained.
When it comes to Ice-type Pokemon, Liubo is one of the top experts in the Pokemon world, right? At least, that was the case before Koga rose to prominence.
"Of course," Dr. Oak continued. "I also have a favor to ask of you."
"This guy, Liubo, hasn't been comfortable these past years. If you have the chance, you might be able to counsel him."
I'm a Pokemon psychologist, not a regular psychologist, Dr. Oak. Don't forget the prefix.
First, it was Vladali, then you and Juezi, this elderly couple, and now Liubo.
However, Liubo's problem is relatively simple.
And making the Ice Nine-Tails stronger? I'll have to ask my Ice Nine-Tails about that first.
"I understand. If I have the opportunity, I'll go," Jinghe didn't completely reject the idea.
Dr. Oak patted Jinghe's shoulder.
"Please!"
Looking at the chaotic scene inside, Jinghe felt mentally exhausted.
Hey, we still have the finals tomorrow. Can't you give us a quiet and comfortable environment to rest? Someone might think it's winter vacation.
Ding!
At that moment, Jinghe's phone rang.
It was a message from Serena.
【Eevee Eats Cabbage】: Come to the door.
The door?
Could it be that Serena has come all the way from Unova?
This made his gloomy mood much better.
He quickly went to the door and opened it.
Then, he saw a ferocious-looking Flame Bite Sharpedo standing at the door, grinning menacingly at him.
Its sharp teeth rubbed together, making a "creak creak" sound.
An intimidating aura emanated from its body, capturing the attention of everyone in the room.
"Long time no see, Jinghe," Serena's cheerful voice came from behind the Flame Bite Sharpedo.
Geraldine held her chin high and scoffed, "Surprised?"
Surprised?
Seeing the Flame Bite Sharpedo's expression, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Jinghe's forehead.
"Gramps, come and save me!"
"Roar!!!"
The Flame Bite Sharpedo let out a low roar.
You better not run!

Recommendation: "Our ideal is to foster understanding between people, but you're too extreme, Qinghe. You'll regret it!" - Yahiko.
"Yahiko, I'm the leader of the Akatsuki now!" - Qinghe.
The door slammed shut.
At that moment, Qinghe felt a sense of clarity, as if someone had finally validated his pure-blooded ninja lineage.
Understanding between people? Pfft! I'd rather believe I can become the First Emperor.
What? You call me extreme? Blame me for being cruel? Nonsense! I didn't start this ninja war.
As long as I haven't lost, who dares call me a war criminal?
