Chapter 401: Gramps Receives Another Epic Boost
Chapter 401: Gramps Receives Another Epic Boost
At the Sinnoh League Headquarters.
Jinghe, Sharon, and Daye entered the building together.
"Hengga~"
Gramps emerged from Jinghe's shadow, gazing at the grand lobby before them.
It was indeed quite impressive.
Jinghe and Daye were visiting for the first time, but Sharon seemed very familiar with the place, leading them directly to the reward collection area.
"Is that... Teacher Jinghe?"
Their arrival did attract some attention.
"And Miss Sharon."
"Who's that red-haired guy with the crazy hair?"
They walked through the lobby, down a corridor with gleaming tiles, and arrived at the reward collection desk.
After submitting Kinoe King's report, a staff member immediately brought out a box that had been prepared in advance.
"Miss Sharon, this is what Kinoe King entrusted to us," the female staff member whispered.
Her peripheral vision unconsciously glanced at Jinghe's face.
Teacher Jinghe was indeed very handsome, and he seemed quite compatible with Miss Sharon.
"What is this thing that's so important that we had to come to the League Tower to collect it?" Jinghe asked curiously, looking at the square box.
Seeing that it wasn't an incubator for Poke Eggs, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Daye also curiously leaned in to take a closer look.
"Hengga?"
Gramps sniffed lightly, his eyes slightly brightening as if sensing something, and he also leaned in.
Sharon smiled, "You'll know once you open it."
Mysteriously.
Jinghe then opened the box and saw a stone about the size of half a palm, irregularly shaped.
"This..." Jinghe was stunned.
"Hengga!"
Upon seeing the stone, Gramps opened his mouth wide, revealing an expression of awe as if he had seen a delicious feast.
"This!" Daye also exclaimed.
"You know what it is?" Jinghe looked at him.
"Haha, no idea." Daye scratched his head, "Just going along with the atmosphere."
Sharon patted Gramps' head and said, "It suits you quite well."
Gramps nodded repeatedly.
"So, Big Sis, what exactly is this thing that's so important?" Daye couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Sharon's expression became slightly more serious.
"To be honest, I can't say for sure what it is, but after my grandmother and the League's appraisal, we can confirm that it has a long history and is connected to the Adamant Orb and Lustrous Orb."
After a pause, she continued, "My grandmother speculates that it's highly likely to be related to the legendary third orb, the Grand Platinum Orb!"
Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb, Grand Platinum Orb? What are those?
Daye's face was filled with bewilderment.
Speaking of which, although the Sinnoh region had legends of Arceus creating the world, the dragons of time and space, Dialga and Palkia, and even the legends of the Lake Deities, the tales of Giratina were scarce.
Even the Grand Platinum Orb, known as the "third orb," remained unaccounted for.
"Although it's damaged, it's a genuine legendary resource that can enhance the abilities of Ghost-type Pokemon."
The Adamant Orb and Lustrous Orb, corresponding to the legendary dragons of time and space, Dialga and Palkia.
And the Grand Platinum Orb corresponds to Giratina.
Its ability to enhance Ghost-type Pokemon seemed very suitable for Gramps.
But Jinghe knew that this wasn't the Grand Platinum Orb, but rather—
【Grand Platinum Orb Fragment: A radiant orb that, when used on Giratina, can greatly enhance its power and alter its form. (A relic from the Washi era, beware of Giratina's interest.)】
After all that build-up, it's just a fragment of the Grand Platinum Orb?
And Giratina is interested? Giratina is almost convinced by his hype!
But it's just a fragment! What use is it?
Jinghe sighed.
Seeing Gramps' reaction, he knew that this item held great appeal for his little ghost.
After all, Gramps had a connection with Giratina, and Giratina had high hopes for Kikyo. Perhaps he could even learn a move or two from Giratina with the help of this orb fragment.
For instance, the move "Shadow Ball" was quite good.
It was an advanced version of Shadow Ball, not only powerful but also capable of ignoring guarding moves.
"You don't like it?" Sharon noticed Jinghe's expression.
Jinghe forced a smile, "No, I like it, and Gramps likes it too."
"Hengga! Hengga!"
Gramps stared at the orb, almost drooling.
Oh well.
Kikyo usually gnaws on Dark Stones and licks Toxic Orbs, so this fragment of the Grand Platinum Orb should keep him occupied for a good while.
It also saved resources that would have been spent on Dark Stones and Toxic Orbs, essentially saving money.
Saving money = making money.
More importantly...
At least it's not a Poke Egg! With that thought, he felt much better.
"That's good," Sharon smiled again.
The reason she was tasked with giving Jinghe this reward was to ensure he understood its value, and she wanted to express the Sinnoh League's appreciation and gratitude.
To be honest, the Sinnoh League could offer this reward because Kinoe King highly favored Jinghe and valued him, going against many opinions.
Dr. Ajisai and Sharon also played a significant role in this.
Even though Sharon was aware of Jinghe's financial struggles, she knew that money could be earned or even borrowed.
But such a legendary resource was not something one could easily obtain.
With Jinghe's permission, Gramps eagerly extended his tongue and rolled up the shattered Grand Platinum Orb, swallowing it into his stomach.
"Geng!"
Suddenly, he shivered and narrowed his eyes.
"Geng!"
A black mist erupted from his body.
Then, Gramps' body mysteriously turned ethereal, and in a moment, he reappeared with two Shadow Balls in his hands.
"Geng!"
Satisfied! With this, Wave-Riding Gramps received another epic enhancement, and the Flying Thunder God Technique was very likely to enter the second stage!
Gramps tossed the Shadow Balls into his mouth, leaving Daye stunned.
So, can someone please explain to me what this is all about?
Night fell.
Sharon soaked in the bathtub, the gentle water washing away her fatigue. Playful bubbles slid over her skin, revealing its delicate texture.
Lie Yao Lu Qian leaned against the bathroom wall with his arms crossed, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings as if on guard.
Sharon held her phone, making a call.
"Yes, I gave it to him."
Sharon, with slightly flushed cheeks from the bath, replied. On the other end of the line, was Kinoe King.
"How is it? Does he know the value of that item?" Kinoe King asked.
"He probably does. Jinghe has done extensive research on mythical history. When I mentioned the third Orb, he understood."
"That's right. Regice is the one he pacified."
After a pause, Kinoe King asked, "Is he satisfied?"
"I think he is." Sharon replied ambiguously.
Upon hearing this, Kinoe sighed softly.
"Sigh, it seems that for a Trainer, the greatest attraction is still Pokemon, or perhaps Poke Eggs?"
Kinoe recalled the well-cared-for Poke Egg he had seen on the Yuzuki Ship.
"Hmm?"
Sharon playfully winked.
Is that how it's understood? "Professor Oak?"
In his room, Jinghe also received a call from Professor Oak.
"Hahaha—Jinghe, I heard you're participating in the League Conference again?" Professor Oak's hearty laughter echoed through the phone.
Jinghe's expression turned peculiar.
"Professor Oak, are you coming to watch the competition again?"
"Huh? How did you know?"
Jinghe: "."
"Haha, this time I'm here to meet my cousin, who is also going to Sinnoh to watch the competition. And there's also a very talented Pokemon Professor who went there, and we can discuss a research topic together." Professor Oak explained.
Cousin?
Seiya Oak?
Jinghe remembered Guzma, whom he had met during the day.
It seemed that many people from the Alola region were attending this Bellflower Conference.
After seeing enough of Sunlit Beach, are they here to see the snow in the Sinnoh region?
As for the "very talented Pokemon Professor" Professor Oak mentioned, it was probably Professor Kukui.
Their relationship seemed quite close.
"So, what's the purpose of your call this time?"
"I received the Regice and Sido Lane's information you sent me last time. With the Pokedex improvements, I'll upgrade it for you this time." Professor Oak said.
Are you sure it's not because Kinoe King is ignoring you again? "Thank you for your trouble, Professor."
The Pokedex upgrade was secondary; having Rotom change to a new "body" was quite nice.
Putting away the phone.
"Guys, it's bath time!"
The most enthusiastic Gramps had already put on swimming goggles and plunged into the bathtub with a splash.
The Sinnoh League had considered the bathing needs of the contestants and their Pokemon, so the bathtubs in the contestant rooms were quite large. Otherwise, with Gramps in the water, no one else could bathe.
However, even the largest bathtub couldn't accommodate the current Swift Dragon, who could only sit on the small stool by the bathtub, playing with the bubbles in his hands.
Behind him, Jinghe held a huge brush and vigorously scrubbed his back.
"Wuu~ Wuu~~"
Yes, yes, that's it, that's it, a little more strength~~
The "Manifested" Bear Pupil emerged from the water, its "emaciated" body shaking its forehead.
"Huh?"
Jinghe reached out to touch the water, wondering if the temperature was a bit high today.
Hiss—
"Charcoal Little Servant, you're going to turn into a hot spring egg!"
"Gugga?"
The comfortable Charcoal Little Servant, with its eyes half-closed, suddenly realized what was happening.
It was so comfortable that he forgot to control the temperature.
"Roar?"
Ice Nine-Tails, who was hiding outside the bathroom, blew a gust of cold air into the bathroom.
Crackle, crackle, crackle—
Everyone was covered in a layer of frost, and Bear Pupil instantly turned into Sneeze Bear.
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
The Poke Egg gently shook and freed itself from the solidified ice crystals.
Poke Egg: It's a miracle I survived.
"Roar." Ice Nine-Tails stuck out its tongue, apologized, and ran away before Jinghe's "Magic Claw" could catch it.
Jinghe shook his head.
"It's grown up and knows how to be shy now."
"Hmm?"
Gigaforg flicked its ponytail, and the melting water droplets splashed.
Shy?
Jinghe glanced at it, "It's fine, your true form is a hammer."
After a comfortable bath and changing into cozy pajamas, Jinghe lay down on the bed with the little ones and fell asleep peacefully.
