Chapter 365: It's Just a Heartless Photographer
Chapter 365: It's Just a Heartless Photographer
"X-Ray Cat, unable to battle, so the winner is... Challenger Jing He!"
The referee wiped the corner of his eye and announced the final result.
It had been a long time since he had announced the outcome of a Gym battle like this. The stress of it all had made him gain weight.
"Hngga~~"
Gramps waved at the now-conscious X-Ray Cat.
"Roar!"
X-Ray Cat eyed him warily, its fur standing on end.
Why was it that Thunderon and Raichu could battle so fiercely, while it had to face Gramps?
Although it enjoyed battles, it didn't want to fight Gramps again.
Too dirty! Gramps immediately objected.
Your aura is no match for my Poison Orb, and you can't eat it!
X-Ray Cat then realized it still had the Poison Orb on its body, which explained why it suddenly felt weak again, as if it had just consumed an Energy Block.
"Although you might not need it, Teacher Jing He, please accept this Badge and Move Tutor."
Denji now felt a bit uncomfortable all over.
He had performed well in the first two battles, but this third battle was somewhat challenging for him.
Nevertheless, this battle had rekindled his initial enthusiasm for battling.
Of course, it also made him realize that there were many powerful Trainers in the world waiting for him to challenge.
Pursuing strength should not be limited to the immediate present.
There were indeed many formidable Trainers, like Daye, Wusong, and Denji looked at Jing He and Gramps beside him, his heart trembled slightly, and also Sharon!
Yes, Sharon.
Jing He successfully used Gramps to divert Denji's enthusiasm for challenging him again, shifting his focus to Daye and the others.
The Move Tutor he offered was for the move Charge Beam.
[Charge Beam: An Electric-type move with 50 power. Due to the accumulation of electricity, there is a high probability of increasing the user's Special Attack.]
It was a move that could both attack and strengthen the user.
However, the 70% success rate was a bit of a drawback.
For Jing He, after rounding up, it was practically useless.
"Charge Beam can actually be used in conjunction with items like the Thunder Stone and Magnets to increase the learning speed, efficiency, move power, and even the success rate of self-enhancement."
Denji explained, also providing a "Charge Beam" Move Tutor.
This item was only useful for Jing He's Rotom.
But this little Rotom wasn't very keen on battling.
So, he'd keep it as a backup.
Denji continued, "I just used the Thunder Stone, so here's a Power Amplifier!"
He presented the item that allowed Pikachu to evolve into Thunderon.
"Why so formal?"
Jing He smiled and skillfully accepted the Power Amplifier.
Denji was indeed very considerate.
As a Gym Trainer with the resources of the Seaside Gym and the support of the entire Binhai City, Denji was much wealthier than a poor guy like Daye.
"Rotom, you get the Generator."
Jing He gave the hot Power Amplifier directly to Rotom.
With this, it seemed like they wouldn't have to pay electricity bills at home anymore?
Moreover, Rotom could now work 24 hours a day, saving a lot of money.
"Lo... Rotom~(Д`)"
Rotom took it with tears in its eyes, unsure whether to be happy or sad.
"Here's the rest."
Jing He also gave Rotom the Charge Beam Move Tutor and its manual.
If it wanted to learn the move, it could; if not, it could keep it.
"Rotom?"
At this moment, Denji also spotted Rotom.
As an Electric-type Pokemon expert, Denji was no stranger to Rotom.
Recently, with the increase in Rotom's presence outside, various Rotom furniture and appliances had been invented.
He had always wanted to catch a Rotom to assist him in his development work, but due to his previous laziness, the idea had been put on hold.
"The Gym's electricity... It couldn't be..."
Denji seemed to have guessed something.
Jing He didn't hide it and nodded, "Yes, this little guy ate it."
"Ate it?"
Denji's eyes widened.
He was well aware of the abundant electricity in his Gym.
Due to the numerous mechanisms he had installed in the Gym, a substantial power supply was required to operate them.
Without exaggeration, the electricity stored in his Gym could probably supply the entire Binhai City for a short period.
Could it have been devoured by Rotom in one go?
"Sorry, Rotom!" Rotom quickly apologized.
"It's okay, it's not your fault," Denji hurriedly said.
"Relax."
Daye put his hands in his pockets and, seeing that Denji had recovered, resumed his carefree attitude, "Teacher Jing He's Rotom has received recognition from Raikou!"
Recognition from Raikou?!
Denji's body trembled slightly.
Anyone who worked with electricity knew about Raikou.
In the special episode, Ma Zhishi used Raikou's electricity to power the magnetic levitation train, which was a common practice.
"Rotom? (σ□｀)σ"
Rotom looked at Jing He.
Could he say that? And where did Rotom receive recognition from Raikou? Wasn't it something Sister Hammer took from Raikou?
Daye, don't make me sound so amazing, I'm scared.
I'm just an emotionless photographer.
Wusong patted Denji's shoulder and said, "Don't get too excited. The Charcoal Little Servant you just battled also received Entei's protection."
Entei!
Denji looked at Daye in disbelief.
"Don't look at me like that!" Daye exclaimed subconsciously.
How can you look at me like that? As a trainer specializing in Fire-type Pokemon, what can I do? Wusong seemed oblivious and continued, "It's just a small issue. The Gramps who battled you even put Regigigas to sleep."
Denji: "..."
Daye also realized.
"And Gigaforg, who flipped Regigigas over."
Denji took a deep breath and slightly lifted his head.
I've only been in the Gym for a while, but why does it feel like the whole world has changed?
Haha! Miss Sharon, I'll challenge you again!
Seeing Denji's shock, Wusong and Daye exchanged a knowing nod.
Excellent, another "victim."
"You guys are exaggerating a bit," Jinghe said, feeling more and more that something was amiss. If they continued, wouldn't they be saying that they had crushed Regigigas?
He said with annoyance, "Why don't you say that I tied up the Temporal Dragons?"
Denji's eyes widened.
"That's just a lie," Wusong said.
Denji breathed a sigh of relief.
But Daye thought of Jinghe's ability to make his words come true and whispered,
"It might just become true."
Jinghe glanced at him and didn't bother with the reckless man. He walked over to tend to the little ones' injuries.
Although they won, Gigaforg and Charcoal Little Servant had suffered some minor injuries, while Gramps was completely unscathed.
Gramps was discussing with Rotom about where to go for a photoshoot later.
The lighthouse in Binhai City seemed like a great spot.
He had also heard.
That there was a massive Pokemon Rock in Binhai City, shaped like a Cubone, where they could also take photos later.
"Rotom~"
Rotom's eyes lit up at the mention.
"Hngga~~" Gramps hugged the Rotom Pokedex.
Speaking of which, Rotom, when can you give battling a try?
"Me? Me, Rotom?"
The Rotom Pokedex looked shocked.
"Me, can I, Rotom?"
"Hngga~"
Gramps waved his hand with a mischievous smile, indicating he was just joking.
But
You might already be very strong.
Rotom wasn't very keen on battling, so Jinghe had never asked it to battle.
However, every time Jinghe took the little ones for training, Rotom would join in.
It was to capture better shots, but it was almost like training together.
Moreover, Jinghe never neglected Rotom's diet or other needs.
It consumed Energy Blocks of the same quality, and when Raikou's Thunder Stone or new moves were available, Rotom would learn them too.
Now, it had also learned the Charge Beam move and acquired a Power Amplifier.
In Gramps' opinion.
Rotom wasn't weak at all.
After treating Gigaforg and Charcoal Little Servant's minor injuries, Jinghe approached Denji again, hoping to borrow the training grounds.
This was part of the "bet," so Denji readily agreed.
"No problem."
He even said,
"I've set up many facilities in my training grounds to assist training. If you need them, Master Jing He, feel free to use them, but..."
But the Gym's power supply might be experiencing some issues, and he needed to find the cause and repair it.
This is the advantage of having a high-tech expert.
The training grounds also had automated equipment, which significantly enhanced the training.
"Thank you, Denji," Jinghe said sincerely.
Denji waved his hand and spoke more seriously, "It's I should thank you, Master Jing He. You've allowed me to hear the voices of the Pokemon again. My previous approach was indeed too selfish."
He had given up on battling because he found it uninteresting, without considering the thoughts of his Pokemon. He had selfishly forced them to accommodate and compromise with him.
Jinghe patted his shoulder.
"We're all partners; there's no such thing as being selfish or not. Growth is a process of mutual compromise and harmony."
Just like how we've been trying to figure out why Gramps and the others have become like this.
Denji nodded in deep agreement.
"I'll fix the circuits!"
"It's fine, no need to rush."
Jinghe stopped him and turned to Rotom, saying,
"Rotom, power supply mode!"
"Received, Rotom!"
Rotom transformed into an electric current and entered the Gym's circuitry.
Buzzing—
In the dilapidated training grounds, automated facilities began to operate.
For instance, a brand-new training field was installed.
Additionally, various training assistance equipment started to function one by one.
"This..."
Denji's expression froze.
The simultaneous operation of these facilities required a substantial amount of electricity.
"Rotom, is it your main Electric-type Pokemon?" Denji asked.
"It? It's just an emotionless photographer."
Denji: "..."
Jinghe stretched lazily and clapped his hands.
"Then... let's begin training!"
It was only then that Denji realized.
The previous bet was "fair."
