Chapter 333: Target: Sinnoh!
Chapter 333: Target: Sinnoh!
Sunday, sunny weather.
Canaz Pokemon Academy.
After the academy's classes ended, the entire school suddenly became much quieter.
In the Pokemon world, winter and summer vacations are of similar duration, both lasting two months.
However, this doesn't mean the academy is devoid of students; there are still some more ambitious ones who, after their studies, come to the academy's training rooms or fields for daily practice.
Today, Jinghe also returned to the academy to train the little ones.
"Has Maxado left?"
"Unga~~"
Gramps shrugged, indicating he didn't know.
After finishing the radish sticky rice cake yesterday, Maxado disappeared, but Gramps felt it had only temporarily hidden itself and hadn't left.
Perhaps it would come out on its own when it was time to eat, or more specifically, when it was time for a delicious meal.
Jinghe nodded.
His guess was close to the truth.
"Maxado is still a bit shy," Jinghe sighed.
In a corner, a black shadow flickered in the shadows, and after a flash of orange-yellow eyes, Maxado crawled out of the darkness.
It had a solemn expression, as if it had made a selfless decision for the greater good.
The holder of the "Rainbow Feather" could probably only be watched over by me, the "Shadow Guide"! For the Pokemon world and the great Phoenix's entrustment, I, Maxado, must keep an eye on it.
Maxado mentally prepared himself and nodded heavily.
It was just unknown what he would do next.
Arriving at the training field...
"Gramps, Kyuubi, are you two feeling okay?" Jinghe asked after summoning the little ones.
"Unga~~"
"Ao Wu~~"
Both Gramps and Ice Kyuubi shook their heads.
It seemed that the ice radish and black radish wouldn't have any negative effects on them, so the cultivation area could be expanded.
Whether or not to mention this.
The taste of these two radishes was indeed quite good.
No wonder Snowstorm Horse and Spirit Shadow Horse were so enthusiastic about them.
Jinghe clapped his hands and began to assign simple training tasks.
On this trip to Celadon, the little ones had more or less gained some strength or ability improvements, as well as directions for learning and growth.
Ice Kyuubi's "Enduring Ice Shield," combined with the increased defense in snowy weather and the Infinite Aurora Curtain, made it the most defensively capable of all Jinghe's Pokemon.
However, while "Enduring Ice Shield" had been mastered, it still needed practice to reach the level described in Liubo's Secret Technique Manual.
Fortunately, Ice Kyuubi enjoyed building snowmen and ice sculptures, perfectly aligning with its hobby.
Hachubo successfully evolved into Swift Dragon.
This was one of the most significant evolutions among Jinghe's Pokemon during this trip, and it would also be the one with the most training in the coming days.
It needed time to adapt to its physical changes.
As for controllable reverse scales, there would be a chance to try that as well.
And then there was Coalomass.
With the "Flame Emperor's Protection," it gained a portion of the Life Flame's blessing, not only increasing its energy to some extent but also significantly enhancing the power of its Fire-type moves.
Unable to practice at home, it could now do so at the academy.
As for Gramps's "Spirit Stealth," the little fat guy had already learned it; the rest was a matter of proficiency.
The main purpose of this trip was to deliver the wood obtained from the Burning Tower and Bell Tower to Gigaforg.
Gigaforg had been studying the scroll ever since.
It was estimated that once it gained confidence, it could start the forging process.
There was no rush; Coalomass hadn't reached the point where it needed to evolve yet.
During the warm-up and basic training...
Bear Apprentice had a serious expression, his hands behind his back, as he walked by each little one, pointing out their shortcomings or areas for improvement.
"Bear Instructor" was a well-deserved title.
Among Jinghe's Pokemon, Bear Apprentice had the most solid foundation.
Training was always dull.
But with Gramps as the joker, training was always accompanied by some joy.
For example...
At the start of training, Gramps pulled Swift Dragon aside.
Since Hachubo evolved into Swift Dragon, its size increased dramatically, and in terms of horizontal width, it was now second only to Gramps, affectionately known as "Second Fatty."
"Unga~~"
Gramps whispered.
Actually, the instant noodles that day did have seasoning packets; it was the chopsticks that went missing, not the seasoning, so don't listen to Jinghe's nonsense.
Another example...
Gramps gathered Gigaforg, Bear Apprentice, and Coalomass to discuss what armor Gigaforg should forge in the future to form the "Armor Legion."
Gramps talked about how he was a deep-minded big brother, Gigaforg was a righteous and chivalrous sister, Bear Instructor was a brave and valiant younger brother, and Coalomass was a silver-gun-wielding, fiery warrior.
Jinghe strongly suspected they had been listening to too much of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
But aside from the Three Kingdoms, he couldn't exactly teach them the Dream of the Red Chamber, could he?
As for Water Margin...
That would be too much in line with Gramps's intentions, and they would directly form the 108 Heroes of the Hoenn region and establish their own kingdom.
Journey to the West, on the other hand, could be considered.
Aside from these, Jinghe didn't have much cultural knowledge to impart, as he genuinely remembered very little.
In the end, with Gramps around, laughter and joy accompanied their training sessions, and Jinghe joined in with them.
Life gradually became peaceful.
After several days of intense training, Jinghe was informed that the academy's training facilities needed renovation, which would take some time. He was told that he would be notified once they were ready for use again.
The one who delivered this news was Minjiang, the head of the academic affairs office.
Jinghe naturally expressed his agreement with the decision.
"This is great news. Our academy's facilities are indeed a bit outdated, and it's not safe to keep using them without renovation."
After hearing this, Minjiang's eyes twitched slightly.
It should be known that the Canaz Pokemon Academy, backed by Dewen and the Sinnoh League, already had relatively new facilities.
However, they couldn't withstand the constant pounding of a certain someone.
The former principal had excellent interpersonal skills and was a social butterfly, so he quickly arranged for new materials to be imported for the renovation.
In recent years, for safety reasons, the League had also been continuously renovating some arenas and gyms.
Most importantly, they had developed arena protection barriers to ensure the safety of spectators.
The former principal planned to introduce this very system.
It would be installed in some large training arenas.
However, this meant that Jinghe would temporarily be without a suitable training arena.
"How about challenging a gym?"
It was just that Da Wu was currently out looking for stones; otherwise, Jinghe could have used his training arena.
Da Wu's Pokemon were also incredibly powerful, and his exclusive training arena was one of the highest-spec arenas in the entire Pokemon world.
"I should've stayed in Ink City for a few more days; Ado's training arena is pretty good."
"If all else fails, we'll have to go to the wilderness, but it'll be a longer journey."
Night fell.
After completing an online psychological consultation, Jinghe and his Pokemon cuddled up on the sofa in the living room to watch a movie.
This was a regular activity for Jinghe's family. Whenever they had free time, they would gather to watch a thrilling horror film.
Movies in the Pokemon world were not that great, but the horror films were actually quite well-made.
At the very least, this world truly had ghosts.
Jinghe leaned against Swift Dragon's body, covered by Kyuubi's tail, in a posture of utmost comfort.
Gramps and Rotom hid under the blanket, shivering, revealing their four eyes. They took a few peeks before retreating again.
It was strange that these two Ghost-type Pokemon were the most afraid of ghosts.
"Thank you," Jinghe said, expressing his gratitude to the caring Ai Guan Shi sister who had brought snacks.
"Ai Yi~~"
The Ai Guan Shi siblings also enjoyed watching horror films, especially the younger brother. He was usually shy, but when it came to horror movies, he would watch intently.
Ding Ding—
Just as they reached the most intense and thrilling part of the movie, Jinghe's phone suddenly rang.
"Huh?!?"
"Rotom!!!"
Startled, Gramps and Rotom rolled their eyes and fell back onto the blanket.
Jinghe: "."
He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and then cleared his throat as he walked towards the balcony.
The caller was Sharon.
"Hello, it's me."
After answering the call, Jinghe spoke.
"Are you free these days?"
On the phone, Sharon's voice sounded slightly tired.
"What's up?"
Jinghe was a bit surprised. "You sound exhausted."
"Hmm."
Sharon sighed and said, "A few days ago, the Sinnoh League asked my grandmother to conduct an investigation, and she assigned a portion of the task to me."
After a brief pause, she continued, "While researching, I came across some information that I think you might understand better. So, I'd like to ask for your help."
Help? Jinghe asked, "What exactly is involved?"
"Some ancient ruins, ancient literature, and ancient Pokemon," Sharon replied.
Ancient Pokemon? Similar to Da Wu's Cradle Lily and Primordial Armor?
In the Sinnoh region, would that be Domeon and Shieldon?
This indeed fell within Jinghe's area of expertise.
He had experience in calming ancient Pokemon.
Was he going to Sinnoh?
It was indeed an option. Jinghe glanced towards the living room and suddenly felt a chill.
With a dark expression, he pushed open the sliding door.
There, Gigaforg, Swift Dragon, Gramps, Ai Guan Shi, Kyuubi, Bear Apprentice, Coalomass, and Rotom were all lined up neatly from top to bottom, their ears perked up in attention.
When they noticed Jinghe, they scattered and pretended as if nothing had happened.
Sharon on the phone also heard some noises but didn't pay much attention. Instead, she added, "As for the compensation, the Sinnoh League has allocated a substantial amount of funds to my grandmother. I should be able to apply for some of it, probably around eight to nine million."
Jinghe's expression immediately turned serious, and he said sternly, "Between friends, talking about money hurts feelings. To be honest, I'm also quite interested in ancient literature and ruins. Sinnoh, right? I'll book my flight now."
"I can book it for you."
"That works too."
Jinghe paused for a moment, then suddenly asked,
"By the way, can I use your training arena?"
"Hmm?"
