Chapter 387: Teacher Jinghe, the Master of Emotions?
Chapter 387: Teacher Jinghe, the Master of Emotions?
"I never expected Teacher Jinghe to actually win the championship."
"He must have been holding back all this time, lowering his opponents' guard, and then taking the championship in one go. This guy is truly unpredictable!"
"Did you see that gear? That's what you call professionalism!"
". . ."
During the final sprint, everyone held their breath, except for the host, until they crossed the finish line. Only then did the audience start discussing amidst their cheers.
After the award ceremony, Nakki, on behalf of the organizers, presented the prizes to Teacher Jinghe and his team.
As the champion, Teacher Jinghe received the item "Sharp Beak" and a full set of the "Feather Set."
Although Swift Dragon is a Dragon-type and Flying-type Pokemon, it doesn't have many Flying-type moves in its arsenal.
And a beak for Swift Dragon just feels odd.
"Well, it's better than nothing. I'll give it to Swift Dragon to play with."
Teacher Jinghe thought to himself, and then smiled at Nakki, "Thank you, Miss Nakki."
"And this," Nakki took out a badge that resembled a feather and said with a smile, "This is also one of the championship prizes."
The White Feather Badge of the Inyu Gym!
Nakki continued, "I heard that Teacher Jinghe likes to collect badges, so this should be perfect for you."
Teacher Jinghe: "???"
When did I get labeled as a badge enthusiast?
It's just that I've obtained a few more badges.
"Of course, this one comes with it too."
As she spoke, Nakki took out a Flying-type move learning machine for the move Feather Rest.
【Feather Rest: Descend to the ground, allowing the body to rest and recover nearly half of its HP, temporarily losing the Flying-type attribute.】
"In that case, I won't be polite."
Teacher Jinghe happily accepted the prize.
Whether it was a badge or not, he would consider it a collectible for his Ghost-type Pokemon, and the move learning machine was quite useful, saving him a considerable amount of money.
Feather Rest was indeed a great Flying-type move, allowing the energetic Swift Dragon to gain a move for endurance.
Moreover, Feather Rest could be strategically significant in certain situations.
For example, when facing Rock-type moves or Ice-type moves, if timed correctly, it could not only restore HP but also greatly reduce the chances of taking super-effective damage.
The runner-up, Ado, and the third-place winner, Nakki, also received their respective prizes.
As for Sharon, although she didn't make it to the top three, she also received her prize.
"Here you go."
Sharon smiled and handed the prize, a move learning machine, to Teacher Jinghe.
"Hmm?"
"I won't be using Flying-type moves for now," Sharon explained.
The move learning machine she received was for the move Air Blade.
【Air Blade: Power 75, has a 30% chance of making the target flinch when attacking.】
When it came to the move Air Blade, the first thing that came to Teacher Jinghe's mind was the "Serene Grace Pidgeot's Air Slash 7-hit combo"! The combination of the Serene Grace ability and the Air Blade move was undoubtedly a blessing for lucky trainers.
As for the unlucky ones, let's not mention the past of "Serene Grace Pidgeot's Air Slash 5-hit miss."
In any case, this was undoubtedly a combination that could turn the tables for the lucky ones.
In Teacher Jinghe's impression, Sharon should have caught a Pidgeot by now.
However, for the current Sharon, this move wasn't of much use.
But it was different for Teacher Jinghe and Swift Dragon.
With Swift Dragon's "specialty," if combined with the ultimate luck-based move Air Blade, there might be unexpected results.
A Serene Grace Pidgeot replica?
"Hmm," Sharon showed a thoughtful and teasing expression, as if talking to herself, "What's for dinner tonight?"
Teacher Jinghe instantly understood her intention.
"Leave it to me!"
The Flying Race came to an end, with Swift Dragon claiming the championship, proudly displaying its medal to the other Pokemon.
Daye reunited with the group, looking regretful, "It's a pity, we almost won."
If it weren't for your bruised and swollen face, we might have believed you.
This guy single-handedly caused nearly half of the Pokemon to be unable to perform normally, and even almost started a forest fire.
It was indeed surprising that he managed to return safely.
However, Daye also took the opportunity to showcase his Fire-type prowess, leaving many trainers with Flying-type Pokemon unable to hold their heads high after the race.
In the evening, Teacher Jinghe demonstrated his skills once more, and Sharon took the opportunity to invite Mikili and Nakki.
However, throughout the entire time, the two of them exchanged no more than three sentences.
And those three sentences were initiated by Mikili, who tried to engage in conversation, but to no avail.
Facing this situation, Mikili couldn't help but feel helpless.
He wanted to seek advice.
But looking at the inexperienced Teacher Jinghe, the stoic Ado, and Daye, he decisively gave up.
After dinner, Daye proposed another battle.
This time, everyone readily accepted the challenge.
In the form of a friendly spar, most of them, except for Teacher Jinghe, engaged in one or two matches.
Interestingly enough—
During Daye's battle against Nakki.
"Ssshh—Daye's so ruthless." Xinchun whispered softly.
Daye, being a battle maniac, often got carried away and became overly aggressive during battles.
"I think he fought well."
Ado greatly admired Daye's battle style, which was invigorating.
"Giving your all is a sign of respect for your opponent."
Hearing Ado's words, Xinchun glared at him fiercely.
So that's why you don't hold back when fighting me?
"I lost."
As expected, the battle ended with Nakki's defeat, and she recalled her Armaldo with a hint of dejection.
Whether it was mentioned or not, it was normal for a Steel-type Armaldo to lose against a Fire-type Pokemon like Daye's.
Daye suddenly shouted out to the crowd, unaware of anything amiss:
"Who's next?"
Everyone exchanged glances.
Mikili smiled and raised her hand.
"I'll go."
Sitting not far from Mikili, Jinghe felt a surge of 'killing intent' that made his hair stand on end.
It was obvious that Mikili was seeking 'revenge' for Nakki.
Xinchun instinctively shrank her neck but spoke up, "So manly."
Only Nakki frowned slightly.
Gramps suddenly appeared beside Jinghe, holding a bucket of popcorn from an unknown source.
"Hengga~"
The old man sensed a good show was about to unfold.
He turned to Sharon and cheerfully offered her some popcorn.
Sharon smiled and thanked him, "Thank you."
"Gramps, give me some too," Xinchun ran over.
The gossip-loving souls of the humans and Pokemon were ignited once more.
Jinghe glanced at them.
At this moment, shouldn't they be eating watermelon?
Then, "Barraskewda, Water Cannon!" Mikili waved his hand forcefully and shouted.
Even the physically-oriented Barraskewda concluded with Water Cannon.
In the end, Daye, at a disadvantage due to his type, lost.
Before Mikili could ask who wanted to battle next, Nakki, expressionless, stepped forward again and summoned her Qixi Magpie.
To the onlookers, Mikili was seeking 'revenge' on Nakki.
But in Nakki's eyes, Mikili was once again 'showing off' his strength, which was the primary reason for their initial breakup.
She didn't want to be a Gym Leader, and during the Gym Leader Conference, she didn't want others to respect her just because she was Mikili's girlfriend. She wanted to earn their recognition through her abilities and strength.
However, every time she appeared, everyone subconsciously held their breath.
Even the carefree Daye and Ado sensed the unusual atmosphere, let alone Jinghe, Sharon, and Xinchun.
In the audience, only the sound of Gramps crunching popcorn could be heard.
"Nakki," Mikili frowned.
"Please take the battle seriously, Gym Leader Mikili."
This was Nakki's first conversation with Mikili that evening, but her tone was extremely serious.
Mikili took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Okay."
Jinghe and the others couldn't help but sway, almost slipping from their chairs.
What a powerful move!
From the start, the battle between the two intensified.
"After this battle, I feel we're in trouble," Xinchun muttered.
They had invited them to ease the tension between the two, but after this fight, they might never speak to each other again.
Sharon's face showed concern as she gently tugged at Jinghe's clothes and whispered, "We can't let them finish like this."
They absolutely couldn't let them determine a winner.
Jinghe sighed.
What should they do?
If Mikili didn't go all out against Nakki, she would get angry, thinking he was deliberately holding back and underestimating her.
If Mikili fought with all his might, Nakki would inevitably lose, and she would become even more convinced of her previous beliefs.
How did they get entangled in this 'mess'?
Jinghe took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Sharon, Ado, wait for my signal. Then, together, stop them!"
"Okay," Sharon nodded.
"Huh?" Ado blinked, "But they're doing well."
Noticing Xinchun's gaze, he eventually nodded, "I understand."
In the arena, Nakki's Qixi Magpie and Mikili's Mewtwo clashed and separated. Jinghe immediately called out, "Now!"
"Lie Yao Lu Qi!"
"Swift Dragon!"
Two figures, well-prepared, rushed into the arena and blocked Qixi Magpie and Mewtwo, surprising Mikili and Nakki.
"Is that it?" Xinchun asked.
Jinghe stood up and adjusted his glasses.
"From now on, it's up to us."
He stepped into the arena.
"Gramps!"
"Hengga!"
Gramps grinned menacingly, waving his hands at Mikili and Nakki.
"Hypnosis!"
He directly hypnotized both of them!
If you two don't want to talk, then in your dreams, in a 'perilous' situation, have a good chat.
Replicating Shuiwutong and Chayan Song's hostage situation with Nakki, and adding Giratina's World-Ending background, Dreamweaver, especially Nightmare, was Jinghe and Gramps' specialty.
If they still couldn't reconcile after this, then Jinghe had no other way.
As for experiencing a 'crisis' and talking it out, that was simple.
If it doesn't work once, try twice, and if not twice, then three times.
Fundamentally, Mikili still loved Nakki, and Nakki also loved Mikili. This was the foundation of everything.
Without this foundation, no amount of 'experiences' would be useless; Jinghe and Gramps were just creating a good 'venue' for them to communicate.
For the onlookers, it was just a few short minutes.
But for Mikili and Nakki, in their dreams, they encountered much and exchanged much.
When they opened their eyes again, their expressions were slightly dazed.
But when their gazes met, everything was understood without words.
If they could communicate, even if they didn't reconcile immediately, their relationship could gradually heal.
"Phew—"
Jinghe sighed in relief and stopped Gramps, who was about to cast Nightmare again.
When Jinghe returned to the audience, Xinchun quietly approached him, her face reddening as she said shyly, "Um... can Ado also have a turn?"
Jinghe: "."
Finally understanding, Daye exclaimed, "So, Teacher Jinghe is also a master of emotions?"
Sinnoh, Baiyang Town.
In the hazy moonlight, a figure appeared and disappeared, gazing up at the night sky with a slightly moving expression.
"Nightmare."
