Chapter 301: Being a Good Boy
Chapter 301: Being a Good Boy
Aida was elated as he witnessed the surge in viewers on his live stream. The peak came when Gramps and Steelix engaged in their final battle, with Gramps' Shared Fate forcing a one-for-one exchange, captivating the audience.
When did the Battle Frontier become so popular? He had already seen countless messages in the chat, with hundreds and thousands expressing their desire to challenge the Battle Frontier.
What a glorious sight, just as I wished for!
Aida glanced around the Battle Arena.
Moreover...
Teacher Jing He was rumored to be a notorious Battle Arena user, but after witnessing today's battles, it seemed the rumors weren't entirely true.
These Battle Arenas, with just a bit of repair, wouldn't cost much at all.
Aida couldn't help but feel delighted. ~
Ten minutes later...
"Giggle~ (ˊ〇ˋ)"
Gramps stretched leisurely, yawning, chewing on an Energy Orb. His physical state had recovered, but his spirit remained somewhat listless.
"Don't you want to try this?"
Teacher Jing He held a Vitality Root and asked.
"Giggle!"
Baa-Moo!
Gramps crossed his arms, refusing without hesitation.
He was tired, not foolish.
The Vitality Root was something only Coach Bear enjoyed brewing tea with, claiming:
"When Heaven bestows a great responsibility on a person, it must first make their mind suffer, exhaust their muscles, and starve their body."
Why would anyone willingly seek such hardship?
Meanwhile, on the other side, Coach Bear, who had also calmed his Pokemon, approached.
"Teacher Jing He, this is the proof of Tower Dominance, the Ability Emblem."
She handed over a badge, its center engraved with the silhouette of the Battle Tower.
"Giggle?"
Gramps eagerly took the badge, biting it gently and brightening up.
Pulling at Teacher Jing He's clothes, he exclaimed:
"Giggle! ≧(▽｀)≦"
It's pure gold!
Look at you, being so stingy.
So what if it's pure gold? The key is the Battle Tower's rewards and Battle Points.
"Thank you," Teacher Jing He said hastily.
"Teacher Jing He, if you have time, can we talk?" Li La asked with a smile.
Talk?
After a brief pause, Teacher Jing He nodded.
"Okay."
At a cafe in the Battle Frontier.
Da Wu, Gramps, Ice Nine-Tails, Kira Kyi, and the other young ones sat at a table outside the cafe.
Gramps slyly invited Kira Kyi to taste the coffee, almost making the little one cry.
As a result, Teacher Jing He's mind kept echoing—
[Gramps, humph! Gramps, you're bad!]
It was only after Coalomass fed Kira Kyi some sweet cake, and Teacher Jing He bought a doll, that Kira Kyi managed to hold back tears.
But when he looked at Gramps again, the little one pouted, hugging the doll in a huff.
"You prefer the Mimikyu doll, how strange," Teacher Jing He muttered.
"Such a cute little one," Li La said, clearly aware of Kira Kyi's existence, and couldn't help but show a girlish expression at its adorable demeanor.
After settling the young ones, Teacher Jing He and Li La sat in a secluded corner inside the cafe.
Li La got straight to the point:
"Teacher Jing He, do you know who those people last night were?"
Teacher Jing He seemed puzzled, as if he already knew what Li La was going to ask.
"Aren't they poachers?"
He knew the identities of the Ocean Team members, but he didn't know how to explain the Ocean Team to Li La, let alone how he knew about them.
Li La didn't seem suspicious of Teacher Jing He's confusion.
After all, she had only just learned about it herself.
"They call themselves poachers, but through special means, we discovered they belong to an organization called the Ocean Team."
"Ocean Team?" Teacher Jing He whispered, feigning a puzzled look.
"We're not sure about the specifics of the organization or their objectives yet."
Li La continued, "I'm telling you this, Teacher Jing He, to remind you to be cautious. They seem more than meets the eye."
Teacher Jing He nodded.
He was even more aware of the dangers posed by the Ocean Team than Li La.
"There's one more thing," Li La said, her expression turning serious.
"On behalf of the International Police Department, I invite you, Teacher Jing He, to join us!"
Teacher Jing He was taken aback.
His expression became peculiar.
Join the International Police Department? This plot... it sounds somewhat familiar.
Infernal Affairs?
He was a hidden high-ranking member of the Rocket Team, though Boss Banzuki hadn't revealed it, and he had always pretended not to know.
Before Teacher Jing He could respond, Li La continued:
"Based on the recommendations of Tenchi, Kishiko, and the Yasha Clan, as well as Handsome, the International Police Department sincerely invites you!"
Wait a moment.
Tenchi and the Yasha Clan were understandable.
But what about Kishiko?
Oh, right, Kishiko was also a Department Head in the Kanto Investigation Department, just like Tenchi, and Akasu was currently under their command.
The Investigation Department and the International Police Department had a closer relationship than ordinary police departments.
However...
"Miss Li La, I'm just an ordinary teacher, and I don't know much about the International Police. Isn't this..."
Still an ordinary teacher?
An ordinary teacher had almost completely outclassed her, a Department Head in the police force!
But after some thought, she explained, "Actually, Teacher Jing He, you don't need to worry about this. You'll be specially appointed as a consultant with the rank of Inspector."
Inspector?
In the special episode, Kurotsuchi held the rank of Inspector, and he was Handsome's superior.
As for the role of consultant...
Well, I know about consultants.
In simple terms, a consultant is a position that even a dog could hold.
"As you may know, the matters we handle in the International Police are rather..."
Li La's expression grew somber.
"So, every year, some of our members or their Pokemon suffer irreparable mental and physical trauma..."
Like the Island King Morden of Alola's Ultra Ultra Island? He was once an exceptional International Police officer, even having some connection with Boss Banzuki, before retiring to Alola for a laid-back life.
Hearing this, Teacher Jing He's resistance to Li La's invitation, lessened.
"And I heard that you seem to... also hate poachers?"
"Lila asked.
"I don't think any normal Trainer would like Poachers," she said.
When it came to poachers, Jinghe truly despised them.
Among his Pokemon, there was Ice Nine-Tails and the Love Servant siblings, who had encountered poachers.
Even the Love Servant siblings' Poke Balls were still in the hands of the poachers.
"We're currently cracking down on a group of poachers, a gang that travels between different regions. We at the International Police Department need professional talents like you," Lila invited again.
This time, Jinghe didn't reject her outright.
Treating psychological trauma and fighting poachers... These two matters did indeed make him somewhat tempted.
"I need some time to think about it," Jinghe said.
"Of course!" Lila smiled and nodded.
After some small talk, the two exchanged contact information, and Lila bid farewell and left.
Jinghe sat in his seat, deep in thought.
Then, he suddenly received a message from Chouen.
He briefly explained the incident from the previous day, where the Ocean Team had tried to investigate him through the Rocket Team's channels, in a simple and tactful manner.
He also subtly implied that the Rocket Team would do their utmost to expose and send these people with ill intentions towards Jinghe to the mines!
For a moment, Jinghe felt a sense of sigh.
"Actually, being a Rocket Team executive seems quite reassuring."
With the Rocket Team's protection, he didn't have to worry about the Ocean Team pulling any tricks behind his back.
As for the surface...
The League wasn't just there for show.
Why not try to become the boss on both sides?
Jinghe shook his head with a smile at the thought.
It wasn't that simple.
"Teacher, do you want to go back to the hotel to rest, or go camping again?"
After leaving the cafe, Yasha couldn't help but ask.
"Rest?"
Jinghe glanced at him, "We've barely started."
"Huh?"
Yasha was taken aback.
"Teacher, do you want to continue challenging other Battle Facilities?" Du Juan cautiously asked.
"Gramps is already injured," Yasha said.
Before Jinghe could speak, Gramps pointed at her and shouted:
"Giggle! (￢з￢)σ"
Slander! She slandered me!
Jinghe patted its head with a smile and said:
"Gramps needs to rest, but the other little guys are still full of energy, right?"
The fastest record for completing the Battle Frontier was held by Mirat, one of the protagonists of the special episode, who had conquered the Battle Frontier in just 7 days.
Jinghe felt that as a senior, he should slightly increase the difficulty for the future Mirat.
"Teacher, which Battle Facility do you plan to challenge next? The Battle Dome?"
Da Wu looked at the sky.
The sun was already setting in the west, appearing as if it could set at any moment.
The Battle Dome, relatively speaking, was one of the faster Battle Facilities to complete.
In theory, the Battle Dome required sixteen Trainers to compete simultaneously, and then the strongest among them would be determined to battle the Battle Dome's leader, "Egg Super Star" Ishin, and winning would earn them the Emblem.
But since there weren't many people at the Battle Frontier at the moment, and it was already late, perhaps this process could be skipped, and they could directly challenge the Battle Dome's leader, Ishin.
The other Battle Facilities didn't seem like they could be speedrun.
"The Battle Dome?"
Aida, who was nearby, heard their conversation and suddenly spoke up:
"Can you, Jinghe-sensei, challenge it tomorrow instead?"
"Hmm?" Jinghe was taken aback, "Why?"
Because the one he wanted to continue challenging was indeed the Battle Dome, as Da Wu had mentioned, the fastest one to complete.
Aida was always straightforward, so she explained:
"The Battle Dome is the largest Battle Arena in the Battle Frontier, equipped with a complete set of spectator facilities. If possible, there might be many spectators coming to watch tomorrow."
Today's live stream had set the Battle Frontier ablaze, and who knew how many people were clamoring to come to the Battle Frontier.
Some were there for the challenge.
But more were there to witness Jinghe's process of challenging the Battle Facilities.
For this, Aida had already contacted the shipping company to dispatch more ships, but tickets were still hard to come by.
If they could wait until tomorrow to challenge, perhaps the audience seats could be filled.
"Hmm," Jinghe nodded.
He also understood Aida's suggestion.
"Then, shall we rest today?" Jinghe looked at the little guys.
But aside from Gramps, the other little guys were still eager to try.
Especially Kira Kyi.
[Jinghe, continue! Jinghe, continue, duck!]
"Then, which one do you guys think we should choose?" Jinghe asked casually.
[That one!]
Kira Kyi raised her hand and pointed.
She pointed towards the Battle Pipeline.
It was called a pipeline.
But from the outside, it looked like a giant Arbok, with its mouth wide open as the entrance, hiding numerous unknown rooms inside, totaling 140!
The symbol of the Battle Pipeline was called the "Luck Emblem."
In other words, this was a Battle Facility that tested one's luck.
If a Trainer was extremely lucky, they might only need to pass through a few rooms to meet the Battle Pipeline's leader.
But if their luck was a bit off,
it was said that there was once a Trainer who was trapped inside for a month!
When they came out, they had become like a savage.
"Hiss—"
Jinghe took a deep breath.
A Battle Facility that tests luck? Me?
I feel like I might get trapped for half a month if I go in.
The Battle Pipeline was the Battle Facility that might take Jinghe the longest time.
Da Wu and the other two, who also knew what the Battle Pipeline tested, looked at Jinghe with a slightly pale expression.
Should they go? But Jinghe turned to Kira Kyi.
Kira Kyi's trait, Heavenly Favor, could be utilized, right? Even if Kira Kyi couldn't do it, he still had Hachibo?
The thought came to his mind.
Jinghe's expression turned serious.
"Good!"
"Then today, let's be doggos!"
If all else fails, he could still have Kira Kyi use Teleport to bring them out, Jinghe thought to himself.
