Chapter 283: Gramps: May Jinghe Live Long!
Chapter 283: Gramps: May Jinghe Live Long!
Monday, the sun shone brightly.
After spending another night in the Contestant Village, Jinghe, along with Da Wu, Yasha, and Du Juan, boarded Da Wu's private plane and returned to Fennore Kanan City in Johto.
The three of them were in a rush to get to their exam venue.
Watching their hurried and flustered state, for some reason, Jinghe couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
Perhaps this was the smugness of being an "experienced" one.
Due to his participation in the Quartz Conference, the Academy had humanely not assigned him any exam proctoring duties.
So, he returned to the cafe with his little companions.
Upon entering the cafe, Jinghe was almost convinced he had come to the wrong place, seeing it nearly full with customers and a long queue at the counter.
"The Quartz Conference is over, do you think we'll meet Teacher Jinghe?"
"I think it's possible, but I'm not sure if we can get his autograph."
"I heard Teacher Jinghe is very approachable and often helps Pokemon or Trainers in need without asking for anything in return."
". "
Jinghe, crouching in a corner, overheard the conversation among the customers in line.
"Tsk, seems like fame isn't entirely a good thing," Jinghe muttered under his breath.
Gramps emerged from his shadow and joined him in the corner, carefully observing the scene.
"Hngga?"
Why don't you go over there? Jinghe glanced at the little fat one.
"With business this good, if I go over there now, everyone will swarm around us, and no one will buy coffee!"
Gramps' expression showed realization.
Then, he directly burrowed back into the wall.
He poked half of his head out again.
"Hngga?"
Why aren't you coming in? Jinghe tapped the solid wall expressionlessly.
You're a ghost, so it's easy for you to go in, but we're not going to risk our lives for a little business, are we?
Gramps scratched his butt, revealing a "you caught me" expression.
Jinghe: ". "
If the front entrance was inaccessible, the rear yard was still an option.
Subsequently, Jinghe and Gramps made their way to the backyard.
He took out his keys, unlocked the door, and stepped inside.
"Hmm?"
As soon as he entered the backyard, Jinghe sensed two peculiar auras.
They were the ice radish and black radish growing in flower beds on either side of the yard.
He had been away for about ten days.
The radishes, which initially had only sprouted tiny buds, now boasted stems and leaves reaching five to six centimeters in height. Although their growth rate wasn't as rapid as he had envisioned, they were at least thriving.
This pleased Jinghe immensely.
"Maybe in a while, you'll have radishes to eat," Jinghe said with a smile.
These were the staple food of Lingyouma and Xuebaoma, and feeding them to Gramps and Xiao Jiuxwei would likely benefit them.
If this batch grew successfully, they might be able to expand the cultivation scale in the future.
Buzz—
Suddenly, as Jinghe and Gramps were examining the radishes, a furious shriek echoed from the cafe.
The next second—
"Ai Yi~_"
Aiguan Shi Sister burst into the backyard, her powerful Psychic Power spreading out in its wake.
Immediately after—
The Psychic Field expanded.
"Hng, Hngga?! Σ(дlll)"
A drop of cold sweat slid down the foreheads of both Jinghe and Gramps.
Such formidable Psychic Power!
"Ai, Ai Yi?"
When Aiguan Shi Sister saw Jinghe and Gramps, her fierce expression instantly transformed into a docile and adorable one.
"Ai Yi~~"
Her eyes gleamed as she hugged Gramps and then embraced Jinghe.
Throughout, neither Jinghe nor Gramps dared to move too much.
Wow.
No wonder Aiguan Shi Sister and her brother had managed to escape from poachers and roam the Galar region. So, her Psychic Power was this strong?
Judging solely by the strength of her Psychic Power, it seemed even more potent than Xiao Jiuxwei's, a non-Psychic-type Pokemon.
It was worth noting that Xiao Jiuxwei, although not a Psychic-type, had considerable talent in Psychic Power. Combined with Nazhi's training and her methods of harnessing Psychic Power, her abilities had become stronger than those of typical Psychic-type Pokemon.
Aiguan Shi Sister's Psychic Power was comparable to, if not stronger than, Xiao Jiuxwei's, and with the additional boost from her 'Psychic Maker' Ability and the Psychic Field, if she hadn't encountered Dark-type Pokemon, she likely wouldn't have needed the Coffee Couple's assistance.
Fortunately,
Aiguan Shi Sister, upon confirming that it was Jinghe, reverted to her docile demeanor.
Jinghe and Gramps exchanged a glance, both silently heaving a sigh of relief.
At least they wouldn't have to worry about burglars anymore.
"Did you take care of the backyard?"
Jinghe then noticed that the backyard was remarkably clean and tidy, showing no signs of being unattended for over ten days.
"Ai Yi~~"
Aiguan Shi Sister nodded.
They had helped out a lot at the Coffee Couple's estate, so they were quite familiar with the place.
"So, you also took care of those radishes?"
Upon hearing this, Aiguan Shi Sister nodded again.
However, she soon furrowed her brows.
"Ai, Ai Yi~~"
She indicated that the radishes were quite challenging to care for and grew too slowly.
Aiguan Shi Sister and her brother had such a "talent"? Jinghe's eyes lit up as he surveyed his backyard.
Was it... a bit small?
"You've worked so hard. Thank you."
Jinghe gently rubbed Aiguan Shi Sister's head.
"But you two are really amazing."
Putting aside her display of powerful Psychic Power, Aiguan Shi Sister was still soft and squishy when picked up.
"Ai Yi~ Ai Yi~"
Aiguan Shi Sister smiled, graciously accepting Jinghe's praise.
"I brought you a gift."
"That's really great."
Second Floor of the Cafe.
Looking at the dressed Aiguan Shi siblings, Jinghe couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Wow~"
Genggai and the others nodded vigorously in agreement.
Aiguan Shi Sister: "Ai Yi~! o(〃'▽'〃)o"
Aiguan Shi Brother: "Ai... Ai Yi."
This was in the commercial district of Quartz Plateau, where Jinghe had specially bought these outfits for the Aiguan Shi siblings.
A pink dress and a light blue gown.
Although the siblings weren't participating in the Quartz Conference, they had been working hard at the cafe.
Jinghe could clearly see this from the bank statements he received daily.
For Jinghe, Pokemon were not divided into noble or lowly categories. It wasn't that battling Pokemon were necessarily more important than non-battling ones.
Moreover, the Aiguan Shi siblings had contributed a lot and relieved Jinghe of many worries.
They also provided logistical support to some extent.
Of course, in addition to the outfits, there were also some small Awakening Stone fragments, which could be eaten as snacks.
It was evident that the Aiguan Shi siblings loved them.
The sister was more generous and confident, while the brother was shy and timid, a little boy at heart.
Perfect.
The wardrobe now had more beautiful clothes.
"When the time comes, our cafe can host a Halloween-themed day. I think it'll be a great selling point," Jinghe suggested.
"Woof~~"
The Ice Nine-Tails and the others all agreed.
Genggai's face turned slightly pale.
Wouldn't that attract a lot of ghosts?
In the evening, Jinghe personally cooked a feast for the little ones, with the Aiguan Shi siblings assisting in the kitchen.
At Quartz Plateau, everyone celebrated together.
Upon returning home, it was a small family dinner celebration.
This allowed the Aiguan Shi siblings to share in the joy of winning the championship.
The little ones, including Lotadex, who was constantly taking pictures, gathered around the round table.
The table was filled with a variety of dishes.
There was Genggai's choice of Dongpo Pork, which was fatty but not greasy, Xiao Jiuxwei's mousse cake, Gigaforg's roasted squab, Hachubo's kombu seafood soup, and Bear Apprentice's white buns.
Additionally, there were thick broth goose feet and shiny vegetable salad, among other delicacies.
The rich aroma was tantalizing, making it hard to resist.
There were even some unique "foods," like Lotadex's battery-fried electronics, which almost caused Jinghe's system to crash.
Some of these dishes were Jinghe's specialties, some he learned after coming to the Pokemon world, and some were made with the help of the Aiguan Shi siblings.
In any case.
This table full of food left every little one very satisfied.
Seeing the little ones enjoying their meal, Jinghe's face was filled with smiles.
"Although these are just ordinary ingredients and food, I feel that this dinner might be more effective than some specialized items or foods for increasing affection." Jinghe couldn't help but think.
"Wow~ Wow~" (Listen to me, everyone.)
Genggai suddenly stood up, holding a wine glass in a very proper manner.
However, the glass was filled with Moo Milk.
Jinghe and the little ones all turned to look at him.
He continued with a grin:
"Wow~ Wow~!" (Let's... wish Jinghe a long life!)
Ding—
The crisp sound of clinking glasses.
Long life!
At first, Jinghe was delighted, feeling that his little ghost was becoming more like a big brother.
But soon, he slowly realized something was amiss.
Wait.
Long life?
After the meal.
Genggai approached Jinghe.
"Wow~" (Can you buy me a set of these clothes?)
As he spoke, he handed Jinghe his phone.
On the screen was a photo.
It was a photo of Genggai and Pikachu wearing a "Superman" costume that Jinghe couldn't bear to look at.
Staring at the photo for a long time, Jinghe tried to speak several times but couldn't find the right words.
Seeing his expression, Genggai revealed a proud look, raising his eyebrows.
"Wow?" (How is it? Handsome, right?)
As he spoke, he made a Century Egg Superman gesture.
"Wow~" (Genggai Superman, save the world!)
He planned to wear this outfit and live-stream the "Genggai's Exploration Series" with Lotadex.
"Have you been watching Hachiku's Cool Hero Series?"
"Wow?" (How did you know?)
Jinghe's mouth twitched.
"It's good, but don't watch it anymore."
Genggai tilted his head.
He scratched his butt, perplexed.
Jinghe suddenly felt that.
Besides "Nyan and Pikachu," they should make some real "movies" to broaden the horizons of the Pokemon world and its inhabitants.
He already had some ideas.
The inspiration came from the dream Genggai had shown him when he was still a Ghastly, a dream filled with Ghost-type Pokemon.
They could set up a single-layer dream, double-layer dream, or even a triple-layer dream.
Dream Space?
Jinghe was quite confident in his dream-making abilities.
The success of "Nyan and Pikachu" had given him more confidence.
The next day.
Jinghe woke up leisurely.
He had slept very comfortably.
"As expected, the bed at home is the most comfortable."
Of course, more importantly, the Flareon's feathers gave him the confidence to get through this winter.
Flareon would never have guessed that its precious feathers were being used by Jinghe as a heating pad.
If it knew, it might have charged at him in anger.
"This feels like a good omen; maybe I'll meet the Pokemon I've been wanting today."
After a simple morning routine and breakfast with the little ones, Jinghe headed to Cana Pokemon Academy once again.
However, this time, he didn't go directly to the academy but instead went to the foot of a mountain behind it.
Another Nurturing House was located there.
