Chapter 297: Gramps: Battle Frontier, Here Comes the Ghost!
"I see."
After listening to Jinghe and the others' account, Shinden nodded solemnly.
"Then I'll take care of these people and Pokemon for now."
Shinden, known for his unwavering integrity and meticulousness, was someone Jinghe trusted deeply.
"As for Kira Kyi..."
Shinden turned to Kira Kyi, who had already hidden behind Jinghe, looking scared.
A somewhat stiff smile appeared on Shinden's face as he spoke in a gentle tone, "I'll entrust this little one to you, Jinghe. If you need any help, you can find me at the Battle Frontier."
"No problem," Jinghe nodded slightly.
Then, some people descended from the Battle Pyramid, taking the unconscious Ocean Team members and Pokemon back to the pyramid.
"Teacher Jinghe, aren't you considering challenging the Battle Frontier?"
Aida asked eagerly.
As the owner of the Battle Frontier, Aida's wish was to promote it.
[Challenge the Battle Frontier! Challenge the Battle Frontier!]
Kira Kyi seemed to have heard something interesting and was calling out to Jinghe while circling around him.
Hearing the little one's words, Jinghe smiled helplessly and said to Aida, "Mr. Aida, I'll consider it."
After all, the Battle Frontier was no easy feat.
Theoretically, the Battle Frontier, designed specifically to train Trainers' battle skills, was even more challenging than most Gym battles.
"No problem!"
Seeing that Jinghe didn't reject the idea outright, Aida laughed, "Then we'll be waiting for you at the Battle Frontier!"
After cleaning up the battlefield, Shinden and Aida's group boarded the Battle Pyramid and departed.
It was uncertain if they could extract any information about the Ocean Team from those people.
With the Ocean Team finally making a move, the Lava Team was likely not far behind.
Jinghe suddenly felt like the Hoenn Region's safety was at stake.
[Beep~ Beep~ Beep~ Beep~]
On their way back to the campsite, Kira Kyi seemed delighted, humming a little tune and circling around the group and their Pokemon.
The Gramps were also curious about Kira Kyi, and they soon played together.
Watching the cheerful little one, Da Wu and the others' moods lightened.
"They say Kira Kyi can grant wishes?" Du Juan asked curiously.
"Wishes?" Yasha's eyes lit up with surprise. "Can any wish be granted?"
"Hngga!"
Gramps shuddered, his eyes gleaming.
Could there be a wish to keep Jinghe with us forever? Jinghe couldn't help but glance at him disapprovingly, "Don't even think about wishing."
"Huh?" Yasha scratched her head in confusion.
"Wishing upon Kira Kyi comes with a price," Jinghe explained.
"Wishing is essentially an equivalent exchange. To gain something, you must lose something. Even if it doesn't happen immediately, it will eventually."
"So, to obtain something, one should strive for it themselves instead of relying on wishes."
"An equivalent exchange?" Du Juan murmured.
"Teacher is right," Da Wu laughed.
Although he agreed with the words, something about Da Wu's approval felt slightly off.
The group returned to their campsite.
Although they had encountered some turbulence along the way, the outcome was somewhat unexpected.
They hadn't expected to encounter Kira Kyi on this trip.
As for the Ocean Team, with Shinden and Aida aware of their actions, it was unlikely they would dare to return to the Battle Frontier.
Unless the Ocean Team decided to come out of hiding and expose themselves to the Alliance's scrutiny, which was probably not their intention.
So, the camping trip went smoothly?
The next morning, at dawn...
[Jinghe, let's play!]
Kira Kyi was already floating around Jinghe, and as telepathy rang out, its eyes curved into a crescent shape.
Jinghe emerged from the tent, rubbing his messy hair.
The little one, having slept for a thousand years, was full of energy.
But if you counted the seven days since its awakening, Kira Kyi was just a child.
Stepping out of the tent, Jinghe saw the Bear Apprentice with his eyes closed, "piously" thanking the heavens.
"Koo!"
The gifts of nature put me under so much pressure!
No need to think about it.
Last night, a batch of wild Pokemon were surely "baited" and suffered.
I wonder if Kira Kyi went with them?
Turning around, Jinghe saw Gramps grinning maliciously, high-fiving Kira Kyi.
Jinghe's expression turned peculiar.
Could Kira Kyi have been corrupted by Gramps in these seven days?
That won't do!
[Everyone, let's play!]
Kira Kyi tilted its head, its golden silk dancing behind it, and its face beaming with joy.
"Guka!"
Coalom's fingers sparked a flame, which rose like a blooming flower, scattering petals.
[So fun! So fun!]
Kira Kyi circled Coalom in awe.
Coalom gently lifted Kira Kyi's face and pinched its cheeks.
"Guka~~"
So soft~
Coalom narrowed its eyes.
It was an experienced babysitter, having cared for many newborn Pokemon in the Nurturing House.
The "Flame Body" ability, among its effects, also accelerates the hatching of Pokemon eggs.
Jinghe smacked his lips.
It seems that Coalomass has the potential to be a good babysitter.
It's grown up, able to take care of a Mythical Pokemon baby now.
"Kyubi, did Coalomass go with Gramps and the others last night?" Jinghe asked, looking at the Ice Nine-Tails stretching lazily beside him.
"Woof!"
Ice Nine-Tails nodded.
If Jinghe wasn't holding it, and if someone didn't need to stay behind to watch over the tent, it would have wanted to go too.
It felt like it had been a long time since it had a chance to stretch its legs.
In Jinghe's mind, he pictured Coalomass standing before a group of wild Pokemon, asking for a favor, but no one paid any attention. Then,
"Tsk, it seems Gramps' 'outlaw gang' has found an even more 'legitimate' reason."
If they won't give us face, then we don't need to give them face either.
"Lotad!" Jinghe called out.
"Here, Lotad~"
The Lotadex, which was immersed in filming the scenery, flew over.
"Show me what Gramps and the others were up to last night."
Ever since he got the Lotadex, Jinghe had been much more at ease with Gramps and the others going out at night.
"Alright, Lotad~"
Immediately, the video started playing.
In the video, Gramps took the lead, Hachubo kept watch, Gigaforg hammered, Bear Apprentice instructed, and Coalomass negotiated, then failed at negotiating.
Fortunately, Gramps and the others still had some principles; they didn't bully the weak.
Their targets were mostly those aggressive Pokemon that had made them their targets, like Abra, Arbok, Golbat, and Growlithe, who had initiated attacks on them.
"A true hunter often appears as the hunted."
In the video, Jinghe indeed spotted Kira Kyi.
Hmm?
"Stop."
In the corner of the video, that fleeting white figure... was it Abyssothorn?
If Abyssothorn was with them, does that mean there's more trouble ahead?
It can't be that they're worried about Kira Kyi being corrupted by me, right?
Impossible!
I'm such a kind person, able to hear Kira Kyi's telepathy and even received the acknowledgment of the "Rainbow Feather." I'm a certified good person!
At most, I'll just have to tell Gramps and the others not to go out and cause trouble at night.
If I strictly forbid it, they will listen.
"The best way is still to exhaust their energy."
Jinghe looked towards the Battle Frontier.
Why not go to the Battle Frontier to have some fun?
Kira Kyi only has seven days after awakening, and Pokemon like Kira Kyi have a strong attachment to their homeland.
In the special episode, the awakened Kira Kyi was taken away from Fennel by Butler, and one of Kira Kyi's wishes is to return to Fennel.
Because on the last day of its awakening, the True Eye will open, drawing power from the comet and nourishing its homeland.
The lush natural environment of Fennel and the island where Jinghe and the others are now is largely due to Kira Kyi, who awakens once every millennium.
We can't just leave Kira Kyi here alone, can we?
Occasional camping is nice, but camping for seven days straight would be quite boring.
[Jinghe, hungry!]
As he was thinking, Kira Kyi floated over, its small hand pointing at its mouth.
Upon hearing this, Jinghe smiled slightly and took out an Energy Cube.
"It's time for breakfast too."
Holding an Energy Cube, Kira Kyi took a small bite and revealed a satisfied smile.
Seeing this, the other little ones also ran over.
Even Da Wu, Yasha, and Du Juan's Pokemon gathered around.
"Teacher Jinghe is really popular with the Pokemon," Du Juan, who had just finished washing up, exclaimed.
Yasha wrinkled her nose, "I'm also curious about the taste of those Energy Cubes."
"Don't worry, one by one, there's enough for everyone."
In the afternoon, the weather was clear and pleasant.
In the Hoenn Region, at the Battle Frontier.
Even on a clear day, traces of the Millennium Comet could still be faintly seen in the sky.
Jinghe and the others finally arrived at the Battle Frontier.
[Fun! Fun!]
Kira Kyi, dressed in a purple gown made by Du Juan, floated around curiously, looking here and there, exuding an adorable charm.
Kira Kyi's identity was still somewhat sensitive, so Du Juan had "disguised" it.
Although Jinghe didn't think the change in attire made much difference, Da Wu and the other two unanimously stated that if they didn't know it was Kira Kyi beforehand, they wouldn't have recognized it!
To this, Jinghe could only say that he didn't understand the "god-level disguise technique" of the Pokemon world.
It was like how he didn't understand why all of Sheena's coats looked the same in her closet, or why Ash's cloak never changed style; it was a world-class bug in the Pokemon world.
However, the effect was obvious. Although they still attracted curious and puzzled glances from passersby, they didn't cause a big commotion.
"The teacher's 'Magic Claw' is indeed reaching out to our Hoenn Region, but fortunately, it's the Battle Frontier," Yasha whispered.
"Giggle~!"
Gramps, wearing sunglasses and standing on the street with his hands on his hips, exuded an air of menace.
Giggle giggle~! The Battle Frontier, are you ready to welcome your "King of Fear"? Jinghe nodded in agreement.
Indeed.
This would greatly exhaust Gramps and the others' energy.
And who knows, they might even make some money and earn some items.
Cough, of course, money is not the main concern; the primary goal is to take Kira Kyi out to have some fun.
