Chapter 547: The "Black-hearted" Boss - Teacher Jing He
Chapter 547: The "Black-hearted" Boss - Teacher Jing He
Different Trainers have different battling styles, and this applies to the vast majority of Trainers in the Pokemon world.
For example, Da Ye is a typical example of this. In a positive light, his style can be described as passionate and hot-blooded, but some might say it's more akin to a reckless brawler's approach.
He aims to bring his opponents down to his level of intelligence and then relies on his wealth of experience to defeat them.
Take Herona, for instance, who isn't specialized in any particular type but can handle any opponent. Her key tactic is level suppression.
Or consider Danti, whose tactical core revolves around a strategy centered on the Ultra Beast Mega Charizard.
Da Wu's academy-style tactics, combined with the bonds formed during his journey, create a cohesive system. Miko Li, on the other hand, leans more towards flashy and showy battles.
In any case, as Trainers develop their Pokemon teams, their tactical styles also become more defined.
This is a partial summary created by the League staff specifically tasked with gathering data for the 'Young Master World Championship.'
However, when it came to Teacher Jing He, this staff member faced a dilemma.
What exactly is Teacher Jing He good at? As a 'Tactics Master,' he is well-known online for developing and promoting various tactics.
But if we say he excels in tactical battles, yesterday's match didn't seem like it relied on tactics at all. It was more akin to the style of a traveling Trainer.
He seized every opportunity, leveraging whatever he could, like the terrain, to defeat his opponents.
"Forget it. Teacher Jing He's battling style is to bring all opponents down to the 'baby' level and then defeat them with his rich teaching experience!"
This was the conclusion of the League staff member.
The 'Young Master World Championship' generated immense interest, and even minor topics sparked extensive discussions, let alone the official information released by the League.
"Wow, Teacher Jing He's battling style is truly insightful!"
"Haha! Let's promote this report!"
"Teacher Jing He's battling style - bringing all opponents down to the 'baby' level and then defeating them as a teacher with rich teaching experience? Six!"
"This League staff member deserves a promotion!"
"Promote him! Promote him!"
Kibana highly regarded Nie Zi's strength.
This was a close defeat without Gigantamax, and if neither side used it, it would be hard to predict the outcome.
During the Young Master World Championship, Gigantamax was unavailable due to the lack of Gigantamax energy points.
Thus, Nie Zi's strength might be on par with Kibana's.
Most importantly, there was his nickname, "Little Uncle."
Why "Little Uncle"?
Because "Big Uncle" was Gladion.
"Tsk," Jinghe muttered, "Such a strong opponent in the second round!"
Is the Alola League up to something?
While Da Ye got a bye in the first round, Jinghe had never heard of his second-round opponent.
His first-round opponent was Zi Yu, and now he faced Nie Zi.
It was frustrating to see others having it easier.
"Come, come, look, look! Private posters and postcards of the 'Star Player'! Don't miss out!"
As Jinghe walked towards the competition venue, he heard a familiar voice and saw a bustling crowd.
Hmm?
Such a bustling business.
And they were selling...
"Do you have any of Teacher Jinghe's postcards?"
"I'll take a poster of Miss Zhulan!"
"I want a postcard of Miss Kaluna!"
The Team Rocket Trio was swamped with work, with Musashi and Koushirou handling the goods while Myu Myu collected payments.
"Yes, yes, we have them all! These are exclusive photos, I tell you," Musashi rubbed his hands, his eyes gleaming with dollar signs.
Funding! Funding! This is all funding!
Jinghe's forehead twitched.
He hadn't bothered them when they sold Angry Buns, but now they were selling contestants' posters and postcards. Did they have authorization?
"Ahem, you guys go ahead, I have something to take care of," Jinghe told Herona and Da Wu.
"Okay."
The others didn't object.
After all, they were all in their respective sub-venues for this round.
So, Jinghe, accompanied by Gramps, approached the Trio's stall.
He pulled his hat low to conceal his identity.
While everyone was busy selecting posters and postcards, Gramps gently patted Koushirou's shoulder.
"Hey, move it, ghost!" Koushirou snapped.
"Hngh~" Gramps, wearing sunglasses and sticking out his tongue, looked menacing.
"It's Gramps!"
"Hngh~"
Gramps pointed to a tree nearby, where Jinghe stood with his head slightly bowed.
The Trio, upon seeing this, became excited.
"Jinghe Teacher!" x3
Just as they were about to shout "Executive," they met Jinghe's gaze and quickly changed their greeting, rushing towards him.
"Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~! (＞Д＜)ゝ"
"It's been a while, you three," Jinghe said with a slight smile.
"Teacher Jinghe, we've missed you!" Koushirou exclaimed, his eyes glistening.
"Teacher Jinghe, that Watermelon Eyeglasses Girl is too much!" Musashi quickly reported.
"Teacher Jinghe! Myu Myu is so miserable!" Myu Myu, with her tail fluffed up and tears streaming down her face, cried, "Hwaaa!"
"Swoosh~ Swoosh~! (＞Д＜)ゝ"
"What's going on with you guys?" Jinghe asked, seeing their "hardship."
Especially Myu Myu's fluffed-up tail, it was hard not to laugh.
They had managed to ruffle Myu Myu's tail, and now Pikachu's electric power was growing.
As the Trio excitedly recounted their stories, Jinghe learned about the "Evil Watermelon Head Glasses Girl" and "Demon King Pikachu's" antics.
In summary, it was just the Trio's boredom during the break, seeking some extra income.
With their business acumen...
"If the Rocket Team's 'Evil Plan' was in your hands, even Boss Sakaki could rest easy."
Jinghe thought, but kept his thoughts to himself.
"Authorization? Ah, authorization," Jinghe said, his eyes piercing through them, "Selling these without authorization can lead to arrest by the League."
"Huh?"
The Trio paused, then sighed in relief, and chorused:
"Then it's fine."
"×3"
"Soso~ Nan si! (＞Д＜)ゝ"
This time, it was Jinghe who was taken aback.
He quickly recovered.
It seemed that this trio really wasn’t worried about being captured by the League.
"Cough, but you know, we’re in the process of transitioning. The higher-ups don’t want to see any conflicts with the League," Jinghe coughed, making his expression more serious.
"What should we do then?" Koushirou asked, swallowing hard.
"It’s simple," Jinghe pondered for a moment, "I’ll take care of it."
"Take care of the League?"
"Take care of the higher-ups!" Jinghe said irritably, then added, "And I’ll try to secure the ‘authorization.’"
Who can take care of the League?
"Teacher Jinghe, you’re truly incredible! (Admiring face)" ×3
You can even handle Boss Sakaki!
Such a capable officer is so reassuring!
"But,"
Jinghe deliberately drew out the word, glancing at them with a slight smile, "your income will be split 30-70, with 30 for you and 70 for me."
Before they could react, Jinghe waved his hand.
"I have a match soon, so I’ll be off."
"Gengar~~" Gramps waved.
"Thirty, thirty-seventy?" Musashi muttered, "How generous."
In the past, when they worked with others, it was always a 90-10 split.
"Teacher Jinghe must spend money to smooth things over with the higher-ups, right meow?" Myu Myu rubbed her chin, making a reasonable argument.
"That makes sense!" Koushirou responded, looking like he understood the ins and outs.
"Soso~ Nan si! (＞Д＜)ゝ"
"We must not let Teacher Jinghe down!" Musashi immediately declared.
With Teacher Jinghe’s support, they had to work hard to make money.
Decided!
Raise the price!
"Am I being a bit ruthless?" Jinghe asked, a bit reluctant.
Before Gramps could answer, he muttered to himself:
"But getting authorization isn’t easy, it requires connections."
The truth is, those who own the "copyright" always earn more.
I really have the potential to be a ruthless boss.
At first, Jinghe was a bit envious of the grandeur of the "Young Master World Championship" in Flying Cloud City, considering whether to temporarily open his cafe there.
But the distance was a bit too far.
Now, with the trio helping to "share the burden," the pressure was significantly reduced.
"Gengar~~"
Wearing sunglasses, Gramps rubbed his hands together, producing a black mist that condensed into a black heart that pulsed "bang bang."
Hey, we’re equally ruthless!
Jinghe: "."
"Cough, cough. At worst, we’ll rush to their aid the next time they call for help," Jinghe said without changing his expression.
Don’t underestimate this "aid."
Given the trio’s knack for causing trouble, any request for help from them would likely not be simple.
Teacher Jinghe had already set a flag for himself.
Sure enough, as soon as he left the street, Jinghe learned through his International Police channels that Miss Junsha was preparing to arrest a few vendors selling counterfeit posters and postcards.
Then he used his own methods to help the trio "avoid a disaster."
The match venue was still bustling with excitement, the seats filled to capacity.
"Good morning, Miss Sin Li, little Bo Pi," Da Ye greeted the approaching Sin Li and Bo Pi from the audience.
"Good morning, 'Explosive Head of Fire' sir," Bo Pi responded politely.
They had already learned that Da Ye’s nickname was "Explosive Head of Fire."
Da Ye: "."
He opened his mouth but couldn’t think of anything to say.
On the field, amidst the thunderous cheers, Jinghe and Nie Zi had already taken their positions on either side of the battle arena.
Nie Zi indeed had a melancholic, or rather, a depressed appearance. His pale face made his dark circles stand out even more, enhancing his overall despondent look.
He gently tugged at his gloves and looked at Jinghe.
"Teacher Jinghe, please guide me."
This was a serious invitation from one trainer to another.
"I won’t hold back," Jinghe said with a slight smile, acknowledging Nie Zi’s respect.
Nie Zi nodded, then cupped his hands to his face, smoothing his hair from the bottom up and from the middle to the sides, revealing his face completely. His previously despondent and lazy expression changed as well.
At the referee’s signal, both of them took out their Poke Balls.
Nie Zi was the first to throw.
"Time to perform, Squid King!"
