Chapter 290: Jinghe, Just Do It!

Chapter 290: Jinghe, Just Do It!

Simple, straightforward, and brutal.

The rampaging Tyrant Dragon's issue was swiftly resolved by Jinghe.

The speed, decisiveness, and brutality of his method left everyone in awe.

Even the well-traveled Qianli couldn't help but marvel at the end.

"Teacher Jinghe truly lives up to his reputation."

"Haha!" Jinghe chuckled meaningfully.

It seemed like Qianli was praising him.

However, after treating the Tyrant Dragon, Qianli made a request to Jinghe.

"I'd like to have a battle with you, Teacher Jinghe." Qianli said earnestly.

Hmm?

Jinghe instinctively took a step back upon hearing this.

Why did he feel that this was Qianli's true intention all along?

Noticing Jinghe's reaction, Qianli sighed helplessly, "It's because of those two kids."

Their gazes fell on Lubei and Xiaoyao, who were not far away.

"Although Lubei defeated the Tyrant Dragon, I sense a change in his mindset. I'm not sure if this change is good or bad, but as a father, I should respect his choice."

Apparently, Qianli had noticed Lubei's subtle aversion to Pokemon battles.

Qianli sighed, "And as a father, I should also let him understand what a real Pokemon battle is."

As for Xiaoyao, after Qianli's explanation, Jinghe learned about her past.

When Xiaoyao was young, while swimming in the sea, numerous Amber Jellyfish suddenly appeared around her.

Dressed in a blue swimsuit and cap, Xiaoyao called for her parents, but her mother mistook her for an Amber Jellyfish and tried to capture her with a Poke Ball.

Ever since then, Xiaoyao developed a psychological shadow regarding Pokemon, Pokemon Trainers, and related matters.

As a highly skilled Trainer, Qianli felt helpless that both his children had psychological issues with Pokemon and Pokemon battles.

After listening to Qianli's explanation, Jinghe remained silent.

I understand the logic.

But...

"Mr. Qianli, you should know about Da Wu, right? I think in terms of battling, he might be more suitable than me." Jinghe said.

However, Qianli gave a reason that Jinghe couldn't refuse.

"They are both your fans, Teacher Jinghe. If they battle you, I believe they will truly understand."

Jinghe pursed his lips.

That's true...

But Mr. Qianli, are you sure that after watching my battle, they will regain their love for battling? Are you certain they won't develop a psychological shadow?

"Should I arrange a script?" Jinghe asked after some thought.

After all, it concerned the psychological well-being of the two children, so he had to be cautious.

But Qianli shook his head decisively, "No, this will be a real battle. It's to let them understand what battling is. After that, whatever their choice, I will respect it."

Qianli was indeed known for his strictness.

But...

a real battle.

Jinghe tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Who is Qianli?

The strongest Gym Leader in the Hoenn Region! He's practically the next Elite Four member of the Hoenn League!

If not for his lack of interest, Qianli would likely have already been a member of the Hoenn Elite Four.

In the 'Special Edition', there were three Trainer powerhouses in the Hoenn Region: Da Wu, Qianli, and Mikeli!

Qianli's Absentee King could even go toe-to-toe with Skarmory in a short time! But none of these three were interested in that path.

Da Wu was busy mining for stones, Mikeli was preoccupied with the Grand Festival, and Qianli was focused on educating his children.

There was also Shirona, busy with her research, Kalina with her performances, Adeku with his travels, and Professor Kukui with the League's expansion.

Among so many Champions, only Ado and Dante seemed reliable.

Seeing this, Dante, who took on part-time advertising jobs, was indeed an industry model!

"If I have the chance to become a Champion in the future," a thought emerged in Jinghe's mind, "I must vigorously develop the Pokemon Psychology field!"

He refocused his wandering thoughts.

Qianli's strength was undeniable, and Jinghe felt that a real battle between them now would be no different from a one-sided defeat.

Sensing Jinghe's hesitation, Qianli quickly explained, "It will be a fair battle."

"This battle will be a 2v2 Double Battle, and each side can only use two Pokemon."

Du Juan announced the rules straightforwardly, "When both sides' Pokemon are unable to battle, it will be over. Is that okay?"

"Is Teacher finally extending his 'Claw' to our Hoenn Region?"

Yasha whispered from the side.

"Hmm?"

Da Wu looked at her, puzzled.

Ash shrugged, "Isn't that right? I feel like I can get my grandpa ready earlier, and maybe Teacher Jinghe will challenge the Hoenn League."

Upon hearing this, Da Wu realized what was going on.

So, Teacher Jinghe was preparing to challenge the Hoenn League?

The thought stirred a slight excitement within him.

Should he join as well?

Lubei and Xiaoyao, sitting on the other side, seemed a bit thrilled.

On one side was the father they admired, and on the other was Teacher Jinghe, the Quartz Conference Champion they had watched and become fans of.

Thinking about it, they couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

Jinghe was contemplating which two Pokemon to use in the doubles battle.

Gramps was definitely going to be one of them.

Qianli was a specialist in Normal-type Pokemon, and Gramps, a Ghost-type, would be immune to Normal-type moves. Moreover, Qianli's signature Pokemon, Absentee and Frillish, were skilled in Fighting-type moves.

There was one more to choose.

Jinghe's gaze swept across the well-behaved Ice Nine-Tails, the Gigaforg wielding a hammer, the eager Hachubo, the enthusiastic Bear Apprentice, and the ignited Coalomass.

Hmm, no matter which one he chose, this place might not be safe anymore.

After all, it was their backyard, not the Quartz Conference venue. If something got damaged, there'd be no one to help repair it!

Jinghe's eyes lit up.

Was there a better Pokemon for doubles than this one?

"Then, I'll go with these two Pokemon!"

As soon as the match began, Qianli entered a different state, arms crossed, his face serious yet filled with confidence.

A red light flashed, and an energetic Frillish appeared, letting out a spirited "Huffa!"

The other Pokemon was a Dashbear, its body streamlined, covered in brown fur, and with a pair of sky-blue eyes.

"Dashbear, the Swiftfoot Pokemon, is a Normal-type. It's said that the shaving brushes made from its fur are the finest luxury goods in Lotad!" Lotad explained.

Qianli didn't summon Absentee, which made Jinghe breathe a slight sigh of relief.

At the same time, Jinghe had also made his choice.

"Go, Gramps, Caretaker!"

"Hengga~! ┌(▼▼メ)┘"

Gramps immediately positioned himself in front of Jinghe.

Upon hearing Jinghe's words, Caretaker Sister visibly froze for a moment.

"Would you help me with this match, Caretaker?" Jinghe asked with a smile.

When it looked at Jinghe, meeting his gentle and trusting gaze, Caretaker Sister's nose twitched, and she nodded vigorously.

"Ai Yi! (≧≦)"

Caretaker Sister approached Jinghe.

Gramps gave Caretaker Sister a thumbs-up.

"Hengga! d(○)"

Caretaker Sister's cheeks flushed slightly, unsure if it was from shyness or excitement.

"Seems like you've gained the trust of your Pokemon, very good."

Qianli crossed his arms, nodding slightly, and without hesitation, he commanded, "Frillish, use Thunder Wave!"

The target, however, was not Gramps or Caretaker Sister, but Dashbear!

A fluffy golden current flew from Frillish's hands, landing directly on Dashbear, causing it to enter a 'Paralysis' state as the golden arcs of electricity danced around it.

This move surprised Lubei and Xiaoyao.

But Jinghe instantly understood Qianli's intention.

Dashbear's ability was 'Swiftfoot'!

【Swiftfoot: When afflicted with a status condition, Speed is increased by 50%, and the Speed reduction from paralysis is ignored!】

"Dashbear..."

Just as Qianli was about to command Dashbear, Jinghe spoke, "Caretaker, High-Five Impact!"

Slap!

An invisible hand appeared beside Dashbear, delivering a solid slap that sent it into a cowering state.

"Gramps, Trick!"

"Hengga~(★≧▽^))★☆"

A mischievous glint appeared in Gramps' eyes.

At the same time, a peculiar Psychic field spread out with Caretaker Sister at its center, filled with countless intertwining Psychic threads.

Qianli showed a hint of surprise.

A controllable Psychic field?

What a quick reaction speed!

No wonder he's a tactical master, so quick to figure out Dashbear's ability.

"Frillish, Knock Off!"

The energetic Frillish dashed towards Gramps with incredible speed, its palms covered in dark Evil-type energy.

【Knock Off: A Dark-type move with 65 power. If the target holds an item that can be knocked off, it loses that item, and the damage of this attack is increased by fifty percent.】

Whether against Gramps or Caretaker Sister, Dark-type moves were absolutely effective.

Jinghe couldn't help but marvel at the familiar battle style.

Starting with Knock Off, this was one of the most common tactics he used in Pokemon battles in his previous life.

Qianli was indeed an experienced and passionate battler. With his overactive Frillish's "Keen Eye" ability, preventing it from falling asleep, and Dashbear's "Swiftfoot" ability, increasing its speed in abnormal conditions, Jinghe felt Qianli's strategy was specifically aimed at him.

However, Qianli had made one miscalculation. This time, the main force in the double battle wasn't Gramps but Caretaker.

"Caretaker!" Jinghe shouted. "Look at me!"

"Ai Yi~~(`)Ψ"

Caretaker hooked a finger, as if standing center stage, and the Frillish immediately attacked uncontrollably.

Bang!!

The Knock Off move landed, causing Caretaker to wince in pain.

However, unlike Gramps, Caretaker wasn't holding any items, so the Knock Off move didn't receive any additional boosts.

"In that case..." Qianli narrowed his eyes.

Knowing Caretaker's "Look at Me" ability was in play, defeating it before reaching Gramps would be challenging.

So, Jinghe commanded, "Dashbear, Body Slam!"

"Frillish, Break Wall!"

Jinghe's strategy was to use Frillish's closer proximity to Caretaker and its Break Wall move to prevent it from using Protect, while Dashbear's Body Slam would swiftly finish off Caretaker!

However, Jinghe's command surprised everyone.

"Caretaker, Self-Suggestion!"

Caretaker didn't defend or prepare for an attack but instead used Self-Suggestion to copy Gramps' Special Attack boost. As Frillish's Break Wall was about to land, and Dashbear's Body Slam was imminent, Caretaker, despite being commanded by Jinghe for the first time, trusted him implicitly.

It actually ignored the attacks from both Pokemon and began using Self-Suggestion.

Qianli's eyes narrowed.

Such audacity! It was time to finish it off!

But just then, Jinghe smiled.

"It's over!"

He hurriedly added, "Gramps, Switch!"

When it came to dirty tactics, the Switch move was undoubtedly among the top.

Of course, Caretaker's "Look at Me" ability was even dirtier than Switch.

Gramps had learned this move from Lotad, specifically to keep up with Lotad's photography.

Qianli's strategy wasn't "clean" either. He intentionally used two Pokemon to target Jinghe's Gramps. So, dirty tactics could only be countered with dirtier tactics!

Gramps cackled, and in an instant, it swapped positions with Caretaker.

As a Ghost-type Pokemon, neither Frillish's Break Wall nor Dashbear's Body Slam had any effect.

This move surprised Lu Bei, Xiaoyao, Da Wu, Yasha, and Du Juan, who stood nearby, causing them to widen their eyes.

Wow! No wonder he was Teacher Jinghe.

Jinghe had accurately predicted Qianli's tactics and objectives, directly countering them with this bold move!

Jinghe: Learn from me!

Meanwhile, Caretaker successfully copied Gramps' Trick boost, significantly enhancing its Special Attack.

"Wide Power!"

Buzz—

Caretaker's already formidable Psychic power, enhanced by Trick and the Psychic field, became terrifyingly powerful! An invisible Psychic aura enveloped both Frillish and Dashbear.

Boom!!

Psychic power surged from below, and endless threads entangled them, creating a booming sound.

This Wide Power move, even if it couldn't instantly defeat Frillish and Dashbear, significantly weakened them.

The rest of the battle became relatively straightforward.

Even with Dashbear's speed, Caretaker's Illusion Space was more than enough to keep them firmly under control.

A battle that seemed intense ended quickly, surprising everyone.

From Caretaker's surprise attack with its palm strike, Gramps changed its usual strategy, seemingly sealing the outcome from the start.

In short, Qianli's tactical thinking and direction were seen through by Jinghe.

There was no other way.

Qianli's tactics felt too familiar to Jinghe, as if he were watching his past self. Every move Qianli made was transparent to Jinghe.

"My tactics were completely crushed," Qianli exclaimed, opening his mouth in astonishment.

He knew Jinghe's tactical skills were formidable but never imagined they were this strong.

Even Qianli was in awe, so one can imagine the reactions of Lu Bei, Xiaoyao, and Yasha.

"It seems like doubles is Teacher's true strength," Yasha murmured.

Jinghe could only smile in response.

Caretaker, one of the strongest double battle Pokemon, was no joke.
