Chapter 413: Card Face-Off with Charcoal Little Servant?
Chapter 413: Card Face-Off with Charcoal Little Servant?
January 20th.
Jinghe woke up to the sound of clanging and clattering.
When he got out of bed, he found that even Ice Nine-Tails wasn't in the blanket but had already gotten up.
Hmm?
Is the sun rising in the west?
The little guy wasn't lazing around in bed anymore.
Then he scanned the room and found that there wasn't a single little guy in the room.
Getting out of bed, he followed the clanging sounds and opened the sliding door to the garden. He saw that the little guys were indeed there, surrounding Gigaforg.
Gigaforg had a serious expression, rhythmically hammering with a hammer, accompanied by sparks flying in all directions.
After hammering for a while, he would place the glowing red object in Charcoal Little Servant's hands, using high temperatures to ensure the forged item didn't cool down.
Swift Dragon would occasionally flap its wings, assisting Charcoal Little Servant in maintaining the temperature.
This was
Oen's "Living Forge Furnace - Simplified Version"?
"Guka!"
Gigaforg let out a light shout, and Bear Guide hurriedly wiped its forehead with its fluffy arm.
Bear Guide had become a Bear Assistant?
Soon after, Gigaforg stopped hammering and called out to Ice Nine-Tails.
"Ow-oo~"
Ice Nine-Tails blew out a cold breath without hesitation, and with the sound of "chi-chi" and rising white mist, the object Gigaforg was forging gradually took shape.
Jinghe suddenly realized.
Ice Nine-Tails' quenching agent!
Where's Gramps?
"Heng-ga~ Heng-ga~"
Gengar, wearing a pair of sunglasses, was floating nearby, directing the operation.
Oh, it wasn't directing Gigaforg, but was directing Rotom to record the entire forging process so that Gigaforg could review it later.
As for Tyrogue...
"Yo-ki! (ˊ〇ˋ)"
It was opening its mouth, catching the sparks that flew out next to Gigaforg.
Of course, it couldn't catch all the sparks with just its mouth, so its "bedpan" was placed on the other side, working in tandem.
Firmly resisting wastefulness, starting with me, Tyrogue!
Emphasizing thriftiness.
So, these little guys together formed a complete forging process?
When Gigaforg finished forging the two items, it was time for the crucial wear-testing phase.
"Cha!"
Gigaforg solemnly handed the items to Charcoal Little Servant.
"Guka!"
Charcoal Little Servant also looked extremely serious, and after receiving them, he put them on.
It was a golden cannon tube and a short sword with a faint purple hue! Representing Charcoal Little Servant's two evolved forms: Crimson Armor Rider and Violet Flame Blade Ghost.
No kidding.
After putting them on, it did look somewhat impressive.
"Guka!"
Charcoal Little Servant waved the short sword with a serious expression, then raised his arm as if holding the cannon tube in a standard pose.
Jinghe's expression was peculiar.
So, they had been busy all morning with this?
Besides decoration, it didn't seem to have much...
Before this thought could settle, Charcoal Little Servant's eyes suddenly turned solemn, and he lightly swung the short sword.
Swoosh!!
A strand of crimson flame rose from the short sword, quickly transforming into a faint purple color. As he waved it, a faint purple energy trail was left in the air.
Jinghe's eyes widened slightly.
Remembrance Sword?!
[Remembrance Sword: A Fire-type move with a power of 90. It gathers the lingering attachment to the world at the tip of the sword and slashes at the opponent, restoring half of the damage dealt to the user's HP!]
This was Violet Flame Blade Ghost's exclusive move.
It was the only Fire-type move among all Fire-type moves that could restore the user's condition by striking the opponent!
Although Charcoal Little Servant's swing just now didn't reach the true power of the Remembrance Sword, and the [Pokedex] didn't display this move, it was undeniable that it had taken on a bit of its form.
"Guka!"
Then, Charcoal Little Servant's body was enveloped in crimson flames as he raised the golden cannon tube.
The flames around him visibly gathered into the cannon tube, and the golden life flame within the flames seemed to shine alongside the cannon tube.
At the same time, the flames gathered in the cannon tube were accompanied by the rhythm of Wave Guide.
The power of this cannon...
"So, is it Armor Cannon this time, or the one with Wave Guide?"
[Armor Cannon: A Fire-type move with a power of 120. It ignites its armor, turning it into a cannonball to attack, reducing its Defense and Special Defense.]
Wow.
Jinghe exclaimed in surprise.
He hadn't expected that Gigaforg, studying the scroll to forge the "Celebration Armor" and "Curse Armor," would actually produce something real.
Was this to let Charcoal Little Servant adapt in advance to which set of armor was more suitable for him?
Or...
Was it to make two sets for Charcoal Little Servant?
Like changing armor in a card battle?
Jinghe's expression was peculiar; that would be interesting.
"Cha"
Gigaforg, sitting on the ground and witnessing the whole process, rubbed his chin thoughtfully, his expression filled with contemplation.
Through this forging, he gained a better understanding of the relationship between Charcoal Little Servant and the two sets of armor.
This time, even Jinghe was a bit impressed by Gigaforg's ability.
As expected of a professional.
At the same time, an unrealistic thought suddenly popped into his mind.
If Gigaforg could obtain the method to forge the Sword and Shield, could it "copy" one?
A Pokemon World version of "Cloud Child"?
Magua wore a brown coat and a pair of cool sunglasses, with a standard Galar region trainer's outfit underneath, featuring the number "188" representing "Rock Wall."
He was a rising star in the Galar region, considered by Cai Dou, Lu Li Na, and others to be at least capable of becoming a Gym Leader.
His mother was the current Ice-type Gym Leader of Battle Court Town in the Galar region, Mei Rong.
Despite receiving an elite education from Mei Rong, Magua's ideals differed from hers, and he chose to pursue his dream of becoming a Rock-type trainer.
He wanted to change the world's perception of Rock-type Pokemon, which were often associated with roughness and crudeness.
To achieve this, he left home and traveled to various regions, challenging other trainers and gaining fame and a significant female fan following.
Indeed, most of Magua's fans are female.
And to show his appreciation, Magua has released two photobooks!
Ahem.
This is his first time leaving the Galer Region to challenge a League Conference in another region, and he wants to understand how it differs from the Galer Region's Conferences.
In the early rounds of the tournament, he demonstrated remarkable skill and charm, gaining support from many.
And so.
When he learned that his next opponent would be the renowned Jinghe, Magua realized that this might be his toughest opponent since his debut.
So, after a brief hesitation, he called Dante.
"Mr. Dante."
Magua held his phone and sat in front of his computer, which played some of Jinghe's battle videos.
"If I were to face Teacher Jinghe, what should I be aware of?"
Dante was currently looking for his way.
Answering Magua's call, he was a bit surprised, "Your next opponent is Teacher Jinghe?"
"I just found out not long ago."
Magua knew that Dante had battled Jinghe, and he was also aware of Jinghe's victory over Masuda, the former Galer Region Champion.
Masuda's influence as the former Champion was much greater than in other regions.
So, Jinghe probably didn't realize that he had many fans in the Galer Region.
Dante paused for a moment, then slowly said, "When facing Teacher Jinghe, according to my understanding, you need to be extra cautious of his Eevee."
"Eevee?"
Magua was filled with questions.
No.
He had watched numerous battle videos of Jinghe, and there was no Eevee.
"Aside from Eevee, there's also Gramps, Ice Nine-Tails, Gigaforg, Swift Dragon, Bear Pupil, and Charcoal Little Servant."
Magua: "."
Magua felt he had asked the wrong person.
You just listed all of Teacher Jinghe's Pokemon, and who doesn't know that?
Ahem.
Dante might have realized he was being too general, but it was undeniable that each of Jinghe's Pokemon could bring some "surprises."
However, he knew he should provide more details, so he decided to share what he knew.
"Bear Pupil, Jinghe's Bear Pupil, my master once said that it was the most talented Bear Pupil he had ever seen."
Magua's expression turned slightly solemn.
"Bear Pupil?"
In terms of attributes alone, the Fighting-type Bear Pupil posed a significant threat to him.
"Don't feel too much pressure, Magua."
Dante's cheerful laughter echoed through the phone, "Enjoy the battle, especially against Teacher Jinghe."
This is the trainer who defeated Masuda!
As Masuda's most accomplished student, Dante was well aware of his master's strength.
His retirement from the Champion position was purely because his master had achieved enlightenment, not because his master's skills had weakened.
So.
"When you set aside the pressure of winning or losing, you might learn a lot. He is a respectable teacher, very different from my master."
Hearing this, Magua took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, a smile gradually appearing on his face.
"Enjoy the battle? I understand."
After a brief pause, he said, "Thank you, Dante."
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard Dante say:
"Wait! Magua, do you know how to fly to Trace Town?"
Magua: "."
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Bellflower Tournament's quarterfinals!"
The host's voice echoed throughout the vast main arena, stirring the audience's enthusiasm.
During the Bellflower Tournament's quarterfinals, the contestants' battles move from the sub-arenas to the main arena.
However, the tournament format remains the 3v3 rotation style.
Only when the top 8 is decided and the 8-to-4 battles begin, will the tournament format change to the 6v6 full rotation style.
"Today's opponent is Magua from the Galer Region, and here's his information."
In the private room, Wusong handed Jinghe some information about Magua.
Jinghe took it and briefly skimmed through it.
When he learned that his opponent for the day was Magua, Jinghe didn't really need the information Wusong had gathered.
He already knew quite a bit about Magua.
After all, Magua would be the future Rock Gym Leader in Warfield Town.
Seeing Jinghe put away the information, Sharon asked, "Have you decided which dirty trick or tactic to use?"
You were about to say "dirty tactics," weren't you!
Hmph!
Jinghe smiled slightly.
"More or less."
---
I and Miss Junsha learned that he was a Pokemon Hunter, but he refused to admit it!
He neither acknowledged his identity nor admitted that the Pokemon egg he sold me was fake, and he insisted on framing me, saying that I was the one who forged it, and that the one he gave me was real.
I was furious on the spot.
However, the problem was that I had no way to prove whether the Pokemon egg he sent was real or fake; all I had was the transfer record.
But soon, we found a new breakthrough.
We contacted another victim!
As a result, we learned that the victim had been scammed for twice the amount I lost!
With this, the problem seemed to have a new breakthrough.
Ahem, please stay tuned for the next chapter!
