Chapter 412: Rotom's Aspiration to Become the Strongest Photographer
Chapter 412: Rotom's Aspiration to Become the Strongest Photographer
The animated prototype of Dakudo was the 2009 PTCG World Champion.
To be honest, Jinghe didn't have much of a favorable impression of Dakudo from a subjective perspective.
Of course, it wasn't because of his handsome appearance, as even with his good looks, there was still some difference between him and Jinghe and Dawu.
Nor was it because he possessed Darkrai and Latios, one a Mythical Pokemon and the other a Legendary Pokemon.
There was also a female Officer Jenny who had captured a Latias, and that didn't seem to be an issue either.
The main reason was probably because of Dakudo's "descent from the heavens" in the animated series.
Moreover, it was a "descent" without any foreshadowing or buildup.
As everyone knows, childhood crushes often pale in comparison to those who descend from the heavens.
This led to most people having a less favorable impression of such heavenly interventions.
Ahem.
Of course, Jinghe wouldn't let his subjective perception from watching the animated series influence his attitude towards the real-life Dakudo.
However, it was true that he paid more attention to Dakudo.
After all, what was supposed to be a fun Baby Cup suddenly changed in nature with the appearance of the God Pokemon Trainer.
But even Ash almost defeated Dakudo's two Legendary Pokemon, so they probably weren't that strong.
Moreover, Ash was still just a baby, and Dakudo's strength was unknown, as was whether he had captured Darkrai and Latios.
"Hengga~~"
Geng Gui, wearing a cape, emerged from the shadows with a pair of scarlet eyes, grinning menacingly.
Why is he imitating my fashion sense?
Dakudo's red cape was identical to Geng Gui's, not just similar, but an exact match.
Hmm?
Dakudo stared at Geng Gui, especially his attire, and was momentarily stunned.
He had actually dressed the same as a Geng Gui? Who would believe it?
"Ahem, Dakudo, what's this..." Jinghe coughed lightly, pressing down on Geng Gui's head, and asked.
Geng Gui subtly winked at Dakudo's shadow.
"Oh." Dakudo snapped out of his daze and smiled, "I'm the founder of Pokemon Trading Cards, and I'd like to discuss a collaboration with Teacher Jinghe."
"Collaboration?"
Isn't this something that True Bird is in charge of?
Dakudo continued, "But we can discuss the collaboration later. For now, I wonder if Teacher Jinghe would like to engage in an exciting Pokemon Trading Card battle?"
As he spoke, he took out a deck of cards and a backup deck.
Jinghe's eyes narrowed.
Was this an invitation from a Cardmaster? But soon, he suppressed the temptation stirring in his heart and politely declined with a smile, "Definitely, next time."
Experience tells us.
Never, or to be precise, absolutely never, play cards with a card manufacturer!
They can print cards at will! What if they suddenly say, "Jinghe, boy"?
Dakudo was taken aback.
This was a bit different from what he had expected.
Seeing his reaction, Jinghe explained, "It's currently the Bellflower Tournament, and we should focus more on the tournament. I'm not very skilled in card games."
Upon hearing this, Dakudo realized and nodded, "Indeed, I was too hasty."
Although he was a bit disappointed, he managed to force a smile and said, "Then let's compete through Pokemon in this tournament!"
"Of course."
Jinghe nodded, feeling slightly relieved that things were back on track.
"Then we'll see each other on the battlefield."
"Good!"
After Jinghe left, Dakudo realized what had happened.
Hmm? Didn't I come to discuss a collaboration?
How did it turn into a Pokemon battle challenge?
"Never mind, it's all the same."
Dakudo smoothed his hair, "After all, our goal is to promote our cards through this tournament, right, Darkrai?"
With the high level of attention on the Bellflower Tournament, the promotional effect of winning the championship would be immense.
Moreover, as a seasoned Cardmaster, he sensed a kindred spirit in Jinghe!
Teacher Jinghe definitely understood Pokemon Trading Cards.
However, his focus was primarily on the Bellflower Tournament.
After the tournament, there might be a chance for a battle with Teacher Jinghe!
Darkrai slowly emerged from the shadows beneath his feet.
"That Geng Gui was strong!"
Darkrai's cloud-like form shifted as it expressed its impression of Geng Gui.
Dakudo smiled upon hearing this, "Of course, our opponent this time is Teacher Jinghe!"
"You seem to respect him a lot?" Darkrai could sense the underlying meaning in Dakudo's words.
"Of course, he is a teacher worthy of everyone's respect."
Darkrai nodded, recalling how Geng Gui had noticed its gaze earlier.
For some reason, it had a feeling... a feeling that that Geng Gui would be terrifying?
"Then let's go train." Darkrai said.
Since they wanted to win the championship, it was better to prepare than not.
"Mhm." Dakudo agreed.
"Let's go!"
Darkrai: "."
"Teacher Jinghe, why are you in such a hurry?"
Sharon, Wusong, Ah Liu, and Jinghe, who were waiting at the door, saw Jinghe running out and Dawu couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"I just met a 'challenger'." Jinghe pointed behind him.
"Oh?"
Dawu's eyes lit up, "I'll go meet him!"
He ran in the direction Jinghe had come from.
Sharon, Wusong, Ah Liu, and Jinghe remained unmoved.
"It's fine," Jinghe waved his hand. "He can't beat him anyway."
Huh?
This statement left everyone stunned for a moment.
Although Daye sometimes seemed a bit clueless, his strength was still acknowledged. Aside from Sharon, there wasn't anyone who dared claim they could win against him with absolute certainty.
Especially when that guy truly went all out.
Jinghe smiled and explained, "Playing cards."
Haha!
Everyone laughed.
In terms of playing cards, with Daye's reckless state, he probably couldn't win against many people.
Soon, the group walked towards the cafe, chatting and laughing.
In a corner of the venue, Daye, holding a Poke Ball, and Dakudo, holding Pokemon Trading Cards, stood face to face.
Both of them had an expression of surprise.
Playing cards?
Battle?
That evening, someone knocked on Jinghe's door.
"Professor Oak?"
Jinghe was a bit surprised to see the person at the door.
"Hmm? What's that expression for?" Professor Oak was curious.
"Haha," Jinghe forced a laugh, "I thought it was a card delivery."
"Card delivery?" Professor Oak was even more perplexed.
"No, I met a card player during the day."
"Oh, I see."
Professor Oak understood, but then a hint of confusion arose.
What connection did playing cards have with delivering cards?
After inviting Professor Oak in, Jinghe changed the topic and asked, "Professor Oak, what brings you here?"
"Oh, right."
Professor Oak realized and took out a brand-new Pokedex, saying, "I've upgraded your Pokedex. This model has more comprehensive information and is better suited for Rotom."
Then, he briefly explained some of the Pokedex's functions to Jinghe.
"By the way, you can let Rotom try it out."
"Rotom!" Jinghe called out.
"Here, Rotom!"
Rotom immediately emerged from an unknown electrical wire and, upon seeing the Pokedex in Jinghe's hand, its eyes lit up, and it quickly went inside.
Soon, the Pokedex underwent a slight transformation in appearance.
"Rotom Pokedex, at your service, Rotom!" Rotom said with a cheerful smile.
It was evident that the little guy liked this new Pokedex, which not only had a face design but also featured hand and foot designs.
Jinghe was also surprised. Wasn't this the Pokedex design from the Sun and Moon games?
How had it been developed so early?
"It looks very suitable," Professor Oak observed with satisfaction as he examined the Rotom Pokedex.
This was a new model he had specifically designed to better suit Rotom, and if it proved suitable, he would promote it in the future.
"Hngga?"
At that moment, Gramps poked his head out of the room, grinning maliciously. He wanted to see who had suddenly shown up at their door late at night.
Upon seeing that it was Professor Oak, his expression froze.
Just as he was about to retreat, he realized he was too late, as Professor Oak had already spotted him.
"Gramps?"
"Hngga!"
It was quite amusing; the fearless Gramps, upon seeing Professor Oak, reacted like a mouse encountering a cat, meeting his "arch-nemesis."
Professor Oak walked over with a smile, "I brought you a gift."
"Hngga?"
"Rotom, how does it feel?" Jinghe asked, looking at Rotom.
"It's great, Rotom!" Rotom nodded repeatedly, "I feel like I can store more electricity now!"
"Want to take a stroll tomorrow?"
"Rotom!"
"I have a secret weapon," Jinghe said with a hint of jest.
"Rotom! Really?"
Jinghe couldn't help but smile as he looked at the excited Rotom.
He was just teasing Rotom, but the little guy actually believed him.
Not only did he believe it, but he was also willing to go out for a stroll?
This little guy, after spending so much time with Gramps, seemed to be changing his mindset and ideas.
"I'm just curious. If I take photos from within the tournament grounds, will the pictures turn out differently, Rotom?"
As a professional photographer aspiring to become the strongest, Rotom wouldn't miss any angle or position for a shot!
He was just curious about the difference between taking photos from the stage and from the audience.
"Let's see how things go tomorrow," Jinghe said.
"Okay, okay, Rotom!"
To be honest, he was just curious about the shooting angles and wasn't thinking of participating in any battles. If he were asked to instantly defeat opponents or achieve a one-string three, he knew he couldn't do it.
Compared to battles, he valued photography more.
"There will be an opportunity," Jinghe said softly.
"What opportunity?"
"The opportunity to meet the strongest 'photographer' in the Pokemon world."
Rotom's screen lit up.
Jinghe coughed lightly, suppressing the smile that threatened to escape, and said calmly:
"The task of taking down the strongest 'photographer' is entrusted to you, Rotom!"
---
Some time ago, I bought a Pokemon Egg from a breeding center, only to discover later that it was a fake.
How could I tolerate this?
I immediately informed Miss Junsha about it.
So, Miss Junsha contacted me today, saying she wanted to further investigate the fake Pokemon Egg incident, and I went to make a statement and cooperate with the investigation.
Fortunately, Miss Junsha and I have a good relationship, and through our joint efforts, we found the contact information of that despicable seller!
When I called, I learned that the person was a despicable Pokemon Hunter!
So, please stay tuned for the next installment!
