Chapter 391: This is No Joke
Chapter 391: This is No Joke
January 11th, early morning.
Sharon sat cross-legged on a recliner in Jinghe's courtyard, flipping through a book with a focused expression.
This was something Jinghe had written, or rather, copied, in his free time.
After all, the profession of a "copyist" was quite lucrative in the Pokemon world.
Due to the existence of Pokemon, the technology tree, culture tree, and entertainment tree were all skewed to an absurd degree.
"Hmm?"
Sharon flipped to the beginning of the book, seemingly to confirm its title.
"The Story of Me, Overpowered from the Start, and Being Banned for 500 Years?"
Jinghe smiled and took the coffee from Little Guardian, who was snuggling with Ice Nine-Tails in his arms. He took a small sip and asked, "How is it?"
Sharon nodded seriously, "It's good. I think Wanlong would be eager to chat with you if she knew about it."
Wanlong, one of Sharon's close friends, would become one of the Elite Four in the Unova region and was also a novelist.
Jinghe's face turned serious, "I don't know her."
Sharon smiled, and the conversation returned to the book.
"But it seems like it's not finished?"
Jinghe heaved a slight sigh of relief and then laughed, "Yes, the full title should be 'The Story of Me, Overpowered from the Start, and Being Banned for 500 Years, Traveling with Weak Master but Always Bailing Out.'"
"Hmm?"
Sharon tilted her head.
This title...
It seemed like a story just waiting to be told.
She gently rubbed her chin.
"What's wrong?"
Sharon handed the book back to Jinghe and smiled brightly, saying just two words: "Update soon."
Jinghe: "..."
"Coo-coo-coo! zzZ"
As Sharon put the book away, her attention was drawn to the Bear Pupil practicing in the courtyard.
"Bear Pupil is so diligent. I saw him practicing his punches last night, and he's still at it this morning."
Jinghe felt a bit embarrassed, "Our little bear is like that, very hardworking."
He didn't know how to explain to Sharon about the Bear Pupil practicing punches in his sleep.
Dreaming of the Sleeping Buddha's Fist? Sharon nodded thoughtfully.
"No wonder Lucario said that in terms of pure punching and fighting skills, he might not be a match for Bear Pupil."
Pop!
Bear Pupil's bubble nose suddenly burst, and he sat down on the ground, rubbing his eyes. After a long yawn, he stood up and patted the dust off his bottom.
His short black tail wagged a couple of times.
He looked at Jinghe, rubbed his belly, and smiled.
There was only one meaning to this expression -
Hunger.
Jinghe smiled helplessly.
Another "drawback" of practicing punches in his sleep was that Bear Pupil got hungry faster than anyone else.
After all, he was constantly expending energy throughout the day.
"Oh, by the way, the Sinnoh League has prepared your reward. You'll receive it the next time you go to Sinnoh," Sharon said.
Reward? The reward for calming Regigigas?
Why was it so troublesome?
And he had to wait until his next visit to Sinnoh to receive it?
"What is it?" Jinghe asked curiously.
"I don't know the specifics, but from their attitude, it seems like it's something precious," Sharon replied.
Why go to such lengths for something precious? Jinghe rubbed his temples.
Sharon smiled slightly, "The funding for our research project has also been approved."
Hmm? Jinghe's eyes lit up.
That means...
"I've already asked Grandma to transfer it to your account."
Jinghe took out his phone to check.
Indeed!
One million Union Coins had been deposited! After deducting the one million he owed from buying New Year's gifts for the little ones, he still had nine million left.
Most importantly, this was a grant, part of the project funds, and tax-free!
"Let's go! I'll treat you to a big meal today!" Jinghe waved his hand.
He still had the vouchers he won at the Seven Stars Restaurant, and this was a good opportunity to test if they could be used in Carnaze City.
January 13th, Monday morning, clear weather.
Sharon's short vacation had come to an end, and she was about to fly directly from Hoenn back to Sinnoh on Lie Yao Lu Qian.
Unlike Jinghe, her winter break was not as long as the students', and she had many pending research topics and investigations to complete.
However, traveling with Jinghe meant taking a plane, which was undoubtedly more convenient than traveling alone.
"Then, I'll be waiting for you in Sinnoh," Sharon said as she sat on Lie Yao Lu Qian's back.
The Bellflower Tournament was not far off, and Jinghe had already registered with Dr. Yuzuki.
"Great!"
Sharon smiled gently and patted Lie Yao Lu Qian's back lightly.
"Roar!"
Lie Yao Lu Qian let out a long roar and soared into the sky, leaving two trails of air currents in its wake.
Recalling the first time Lie Yao Lu Qian took off from Jinghe's home, Little Gigaforg almost threw a stone at it.
"It's just that I feel like I forgot something."
Jinghe frowned slightly as he watched Lie Yao Lu Qian's departing figure.
"Never mind."
It probably wasn't something important anyway.
At that moment, far away in the Feather City forest, Daye, the Flame Monkey, climbed a tree with Da Wu, reaching the highest branch. Daye kept shaking his phone, trying to raise it even higher.
"It's just a little water, and the signal still hasn't recovered?"
During the battle with the Pokemon Hunter, Daye was accidentally sprayed by a Water-type Pokemon's Water Gun.
"Hmm?"
Flame Monkey, who was standing on Daye's shoulders, grunted.
He should have followed Ado and the others back then.
Daye climbed down from Flame Monkey's shoulders and calmly stood on a tree branch, confidently saying, "It's fine. Teacher Jinghe and Big Sis will definitely come to pick us up."
They came to rescue him the last time he was in danger, and this time it's just a minor issue of getting lost. No problem.
"Hmm?"
Flame Monkey scratched his head.
Really? But this time, you can't even contact them, how will they know where we are?
Daye clenched his fist and pounded his chest.
"With this!"
A heart as ambitious and combative as his!
At noon, the weather was cold.
Jinghe was feeling lazy, half-lying on the sofa and reading a book.
If the Pokemon egg did hatch a Ground-type Pokemon, then Professor Sakaki's "Earth's Wisdom" would be of great use.
To be honest, Jinghe had flipped through "Earth's Wisdom" more than once, but each time he read it, he felt like he gained completely different insights.
It could only be said that in terms of training Ground-type Pokemon, Professor Sakaki was indeed the best in the entire Pokemon world.
No wonder in the "Special Episode," after Tsuyosa obtained this wisdom, within a short year, she formed a brand new main team.
Ice Nine-Tails was lying on Jinghe's chest, leaning against him, reading along.
Jinghe acknowledged his Pokemon's literacy, but did it really need to study a digging move so intently?
"Woof!"
It was time to turn the page. Jinghe smiled wryly, deciding to tease the little guy, and pretended not to hear.
"Woof!"
Ice Nine-Tails puffed up its cheeks and used its paw pads to pat Jinghe's arm.
Realizing that Jinghe still didn't react, the little guy understood that it was intentional.
"Woof!"
Ice Nine-Tails became impatient and leaped with its upper body, stepping on Jinghe's chest and then started scratching back and forth.
"Hmm?"
Jinghe hummed softly.
Hearing the commotion, Ice Nine-Tails suddenly froze, looking at Jinghe cautiously, its blue eyes blinking gently.
Did it step too hard?
It had clearly held back its strength, but Jinghe smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a rock you're digging up?"
"Woof!"
Ice Nine-Tails rolled its eyes in annoyance, knowing it had been tricked by Jinghe again.
Jinghe laughed and hugged it tightly, vigorously ruffling its fur until it was completely fluffed up, then released it with satisfaction.
Even though the little guy had gained a lot of weight after evolving, it was still adorable.
"There's a call, Rotom!"
At that moment, Rotom floated over with Jinghe's phone.
The caller ID on the phone was from one of his students.
"Yasha?" Jinghe was slightly taken aback. "Shouldn't she be celebrating the New Year in Kanto Town?"
He pressed the answer button and said, "It's me."
Jinghe and Yasha were quite close, so she got straight to the point.
"Teacher, I feel like something's wrong with Chimney Mountain. Do you want to come over and check it out?"
Chimney Mountain, something's wrong? Jinghe sat up with a start.
"Yasha, this is no joke."
"Huh?"
Jinghe couldn't be sure if Groudon was sleeping there in this world.
But there were only two possible locations.
One was the Underwater Cave, and the other was Chimney Mountain.
Although it was likely to be the Underwater Cave, Groudon was originally a Ground-type before Primal Reversion, and the Underwater Cave was a water-based area. Moreover, it sounded more like Kyogre's territory, so it couldn't be guaranteed that it was truly sleeping there.
What if Groudon in this world preferred Chimney Mountain?
"Teacher, it's me, Da'ou."
At this moment, Da'ou took the phone from Yasha.
Hmm? Da'ou was at Chimney Mountain? He didn't see him in Feather City earlier, did he go to Chimney Mountain to dig for stones?
"I feel like it's related to what we encountered last time," Da'ou said.
What they encountered last time?
Jinghe asked, "Camerupt?"
When they were at Chimney Mountain, they encountered a rampaging Camerupt, and at that time, they had to exert some effort to capture and calm it down.
"Yeah, something like that."
Rampaging Pokemon had once appeared in large numbers in Hoenn, keeping Jinghe busy for a good while.
Recently, they had rarely appeared, and he hadn't visited the Cantho Police Station in a long time. Were they making a comeback?
"I understand."
Jinghe glanced at the glass covered in water droplets and felt relieved.
As long as it didn't involve Groudon, it was manageable.
Moreover, Da'ou was there.
Furthermore, the Gym Leader of Kanto Town was Yasha's grandfather, the former Elite Four! Although he had retired, his fighting power should still be formidable.
"I'll get ready; I should be able to arrive before dinner."
As he spoke, he stood up to pack his things.
It was a pity that Sharon had left in the morning; otherwise, the hot springs in Kanto Town, including the mixed baths, would have been a great option.
"Teacher, the plane has arrived at your home."
