Chapter 361: Giratina's "Ecstasy"!
Chapter 361: Giratina's "Ecstasy"!
"What's this?"
After "Treading Winter," on their way back, Jinghe watched as Gramps quietly produced a small claw, but he didn't seem overly surprised.
After all, he knew his Gramps' personality better than anyone.
The fangs, claws, and spikes of some Poison-type Pokemon were its post-meal snacks.
This seemingly dull claw was most likely from a Poison-type Pokemon that had initiated an attack on Gramps.
But at that moment, Jinghe's Pokedex, which had been dormant for a long time, reacted.
[Yukechi Claw: A claw shed by the lake legend Pokemon Yukechi, said to contain the light of wisdom, allowing young Pokemon to gain more "wisdom." (Only those with true great wisdom can obtain it.)]
Jinghe: "???"
Yukechi Claw?
Question marks floated above Jinghe's head.
The Yellow Sage Mushroom, one of the Tri-Sacred Mushrooms, Yukechi?
"You..."
Jinghe opened his mouth.
"Did you pull off Yukechi's claw?"
He actually wanted to ask what happened to Yukechi, but considering Gramps' strength, it was unlikely that he could do anything to the legendary Yukechi.
Moreover, Yukechi is a Psychic-type Pokemon, which has an advantage over Gramps.
Knowing Jinghe's reaction of astonishment, Gramps knew this claw was no ordinary item.
He immediately raised a finger, a self-satisfied smile on his face, and gently shook his head.
"Hengga~~"
That was his way of thanking the old man.
"A thank-you gift?"
Gramps then narrated the story of his encounter with Yukechi, offering the Energy Cube, and finally receiving a claw from Yukechi.
"Hengga~!"
Seeing Jinghe's doubtful expression, Gramps immediately vouched for Maxado as a witness.
Given Gramps' confidence, Jinghe estimated that there might be some exaggeration, but it was probably mostly accurate.
This led Jinghe into deep thought.
When did his Gramps master the art of persuading other Pokemon?
Or...
When did Yukechi go blind?
Did Gramps possess great wisdom?
"Hengga?"
Gramps waved his hand in front of Jinghe.
What's going on?
"No."
Jinghe snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the claw in his hand.
Typically, the Yukechi Claw didn't have much practical use; it might just help some Pokemon understand things faster and gain higher wisdom.
But the Yukechi Claw was actually a crucial material for crafting a specific item.
That item was the Red Chain!
The very item that Galactic Team Leader Chire had been obsessing over, capable of implementing a "bondage play" on the Space-Time Dragon Duo, Dialga and Palkia.
Ahem, it was a tool to control the Space-Time Dragons!
And Gramps just received it as a gift?
If Giratina found out about this,
the Pluto Dragon would probably jump for joy.
Aside from mercilessly beating Arceus, perhaps only bullying the Space-Time Dragons could pique Giratina's interest.
This might become a useful "condition" for future negotiations with Giratina.
Speaking of which, it seemed like a while since they last communicated. Gramps might have been in constant contact with Giratina.
Jinghe looked at Gramps, whose expression seemed to say, "Go on, praise me."
He patted Gramps' head.
Currently, the "Yukechi Claw" wasn't entirely useless.
According to the description, it could grant young Pokemon more "wisdom," and his Pokemon Egg could benefit from it.
When the time came for the Egg to hatch, a clever Hatchling would be a perfect fit for his identity as a "Pokemon Psychologist."
"Charcoal Little Servant, this claw is for the Pokemon Egg."
"Guka?"
Charcoal Little Servant was perplexed.
But considering Jinghe's arrangement, he nodded in agreement.
He tied the claw to the Egg with a string and secured it.
Rustle—
The little one inside the Egg seemed to sense something and gently shook.
Given Charcoal Little Servant's "Flame Body" trait, this little one might hatch sooner than expected.
They waited for a day.
Snowpeak City didn't experience any further incidents.
In fact,
upon learning about the events at the Snowpeak Temple, Battle Frontier Elder Kanda from Hoenn immediately rushed over with the Battle Pyramid.
With Kanda's presence, even if something else happened at the Snowpeak Temple, they could hold out until the League's higher-ups arrived.
And so,
Jinghe and the others departed.
Before leaving, he specifically sought out Zhenxing and the Trio, presenting them with gifts and asking Zhenxing to deliver a gift to Boss Sakaki.
Amidst the Trio's tearful farewell, Jinghe departed Snowpeak City.
They arrived at Shino Town.
At the same time, the group had reached their destinations.
Ah Liu intended to visit the Hyohe Forest to catch a Pokemon with both Bug and Water types.
Sharon had to stay behind to work with Dr. Gossamer on their final summary and report of the historical ruins, a requirement for the League to consider their mission accomplished.
Completing these reports would secure another substantial fund allocation.
A portion of this fund was intended for Jinghe.
Initially, Jinghe planned to stay in Shino Town to help with the paper's refinement.
It had nothing to do with Sharon's training ground being repaired.
But upon learning that Daye was returning to Binhai City, Jinghe temporarily altered his plans.
Binhai City's Gym Leader, Denji!
Jinghe hadn't forgotten that Denji's Pikachu had sought his help to cure Denji's "Battle Fatigue."
Jinghe had even tried to get Sharon's assistance with this matter.
Although it had some effect, it didn't seem to completely alleviate the situation.
So, since they were already in Sinnoh and Da Ye was heading back to Binhai City, he decided to accompany him.
As for Wusong, he had originally planned to return to Suimai City to rest.
During this time, even with his photographic memory, he had absorbed too much knowledge and felt a bit weary.
Adding to that, the continuous stream of unexpected situations had left him feeling somewhat exhausted.
So, in the end, he followed Da Ye and Jinghe to Binhai City.
Since Jinghe had hinted that Da Ye didn't have any Flying-type Pokemon and couldn't afford to rent a private plane, he might have to accompany Wusong back to Suimai City.
Thinking that Da Ye might stay in Suimai City for an unknown number of days, Wusong immediately decided to send Da Ye and Jinghe to Binhai City first, and then he would take a detour back to Suimai City.
After a series of arrangements...
Jinghe and Da Ye happily acquired a free plane.
Shino Town.
Sharon stood in the square, one hand in her pocket, wearing a black, thick, and well-tailored windbreaker.
She smiled and nodded slightly towards Jinghe.
Jinghe sighed softly and nodded in greeting.
Then they boarded the plane.
"Rotom, start up!"
"Understood, Rotom!"
The plane's engine roared to life.
It had to be said that Wusong's family was wealthy, as they had a plane equipped with a Rotom engine.
Jinghe was already looking forward to the scene of a Rotom Gundam.
If it could be realized, he would definitely invest more funds in the trio.
At that time, things like "Regice Armor," "Groudon Armor," and "Arceus Armor" would no longer be distant dreams.
Perhaps the entire Pokemon world's technological tree would take a different turn.
"Huh?"
Da Ye, with a bruised and swollen face, browsed his phone and exclaimed, "The website from yesterday is gone!"
Jinghe chuckled and calmly continued to pet his Ice Nine-Tails.
If Sharon found out about this kind of website, would she want to stay?
Fortunately, he had browsed it last night.
It was just some eye-catching photoshopped images.
"You haven't been beaten enough, huh?"
Wusong put down the item in his hand and looked at Da Ye with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Da Ye, seemingly unaware, asked, "How long will it take to get to Binhai City?"
"Five or six hours," Wusong replied calmly.
"Oh," Da Ye nodded and pulled a blanket over his head.
Then, a grumbling voice was heard.
"I'll take a nap first, and then I'll go beat up that Denji guy later."
Wusong looked at Jinghe with a calm gaze.
"Teacher Jinghe, how do you commit a perfect crime?"
??
Jinghe considered whether to let the Ice Nine-Tails give Wusong a shock and said, "Calm down, Wusong."
Solving Da Ye won't save the Pokemon world.
Wusong's lips twitched.
"I'm not going to trade places with this brute!"
Taking a deep breath, he continued, "What I want to ask about is the group that stopped Taishou Kikyou."
Finally, someone was paying attention to the Galactic Team.
No wonder Wusong would become the busiest of the Four Heavenly Kings in Sinnoh.
"I feel like there's a group of people hiding in some unseen corners of our Sinnoh region," he said, pushing up his glasses.
Chire, when he's not going crazy, does have some abilities.
As a well-known wealthy businessman in Sinnoh, he has invested in the construction of numerous houses.
Using this as a springboard, he has secretly gathered many wealthy businessmen in the Sinnoh region through various means, including persuasion, deception, and fraud.
With their financial support and as a cover, it would be difficult to uncover the Galactic Team's existence without a thorough investigation.
Jinghe's expression became more serious.
He lightly tapped the small table, pondering for a moment before saying, "If you want to investigate, you'll probably have to start with the Hunter Organization that escaped the League's net."
Wusong nodded in agreement.
Jinghe's idea aligned with his own.
With Jinghe's approval, he felt confident that there wouldn't be any issues.
"However," Jinghe added, "To activate the Snowpeak Volcano, it's not something an ordinary person can do. It definitely involves some scientific knowledge."
At that time, the Snowpeak Volcano was already unstable, and the League had placed it under supervision.
It would be unrealistic to approach the volcano, make it active, and then quietly leave without anyone noticing.
It must have been done through some external, long-distance means.
And those who could use such means were most likely scientists.
"So I think you can also start with some mad scientists," Jinghe suggested.
Hearing this, Wusong's eyes lit up, and he added, "Especially those who have been abandoned or even banned by the League, right?"
Jinghe shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
It could be said that Pluto was indeed a good entry point for the Galactic Team.
After all, although Pluto was also a member of the Galactic Team, he didn't have the same level of loyalty to Chire as Zhenxing, Suixing, and Huoxing.
Pluto still had his own hidden agenda.
"This is indeed a very insightful perspective," Wusong couldn't help but sigh.
"As expected of Teacher Jinghe."
He was indeed skilled in such "deceptions."
Jinghe, on the other hand, had a different thought.
It seemed that Wusong had shifted his resentment from Da Ye and Ao Liu to the Galactic Team.
