When Six-Tailed Fox used "Power Force," Jing He finally saw its Pokedex entry.
Just by looking at the moves of Ice Six-Tailed Fox, one could find that the number of moves it knows is surprisingly close to that of Gengar, but the colors of these moves are mostly pale, indicating that the mastery level is not high.
Even a move like "Power Force," Ice Six-Tailed Fox might not even be aware of this move.
This is probably because Ice Six-Tailed Fox originally lived with its kind, learning many moves, but also because it lived with its kind, it was protected and didn't have many battles.
In fact, Ice Six-Tailed Fox often lived in a group and was mostly protected by a Nine-Tailed Fox.
Because of this, Ice Six-Tailed Fox is one of the main foods of Ralas.
From the reaction of Six-Tailed Fox just now, Jing He felt somewhat worried about this little one.
However, he still opened his mouth and took out a Luxury Ball.
"Six-Tailed Fox."
Before he could finish his sentence, Ice Six-Tailed Fox looked at the Luxury Ball with curiosity, its paws gently tapping the button.
Red light flashed.
"Thud—"
Without a single struggle, the Luxury Ball calmly captured the Pokemon.
"Thud."
Jing He smacked his lips. "I just wanted to be passionate once."
"Thud~~"
Gengar swayed back and forth, seemingly still hesitant.
Is it deceiving me with its cute and gentle exterior?
Jing He glanced at it.
Who was just all "so cute" and "hehe hehe"?
Gengar laughed.
Indeed, it is cute.
"It probably didn't even realize its own strength."
Looking at the Luxury Ball in his hand, Jing He smiled and said softly, "From now on, let's live together."
The Pokeball gently shook.
Gengar also grinned, finally having a companion to practice moves with!
Actually, Ice Six-Tailed Fox has quite a few moves in common with Gengar, for example, "Odd Light," and "Disaster Light."
"Think carefully."
Jing He gently rubbed the Poke Ball.
He plans to capture a thousand-year-old Gengar and a Nine-Tailed Vulpine.
There's potential to become a legend.
Night.
Gengar showed Ice Six-Tailed Fox around the environment.
"Thud~~"
This is the kitchen, Jing He usually doesn't bring me in, but I'll tell you quietly.
It can sneak in there.
Gengar looked quite proud.
"Ow?"
Ice Six-Tailed Fox blinked its eyes.
What are you going in?
"Thud——"
Sucking in quietly, I have the technique, as long as I don't suck in too much, Jing He can't tell!
"Ow, Ow?"
Then Gengar took Ice Six-Tailed Fox to another place.
"Thud~~"
This is the bathroom, the place to take a bath.
Saying this, it showed a mischievous grin.
We can bathe together, hehe.
"Ow!!"
Ice Six-Tailed Fox was suddenly energized, its body bursting with superpowers.
"Thud——"
While Jing He received a somewhat unexpected call.
"Atsu?"
"Fossil Wing has a problem?"
On the other end of the call, Atsu's voice was slightly awkward.
"No, Fossil Wing is doing well, especially after listening to your 'Sleep Powder' recording."
Jing He frowned as he listened to the news.
"Akira, when did you become so hesitant? That’s not like you."
"Well, it’s mainly my fault. The video of our battle has been uploaded to the internet," Akira explained.
Hmm?!
Jing He stood up from his chair.
"The 'Enforcement Recorder' wasn’t turned off, and the video was connected to the control room. Normally, no one pays attention to these when we’re not on duty, but coincidentally, Champion Kusuzo saw it that day."
"Then, Champion Kusuzo said, 'This is what a battle should look like, a combination of tactics.' So..."
Jing He: "..."
He flipped open his phone and logged into the League’s webpage.
Sure enough, the video was on the homepage, recorded from Akira’s perspective. The title of the video was—
"Dirty? Skill? This is a Matter of Tactics"
The number of views had already surpassed 100,000 and was still climbing rapidly.
There were already numerous comments below.
[Burning Leaf]: I tried it, and it’s dirty, I mean, powerful! I might just be too inexperienced, and my opponent was too strong, so I lost, but it definitely gave me a new understanding of tactics.
[Royal Masked Man]: Did "Toxic Substitute" get a new element?
[Factory Head]: A rented battle? To have such coordination is truly rare.
There were countless similar comments.
Jing He rubbed his forehead.
He could already feel the impact of this video.
His research paper was gaining more attention again.
Most importantly, his online psychological consultation room was receiving a lot of new "patients."
He had been busy calming down his Weavile all day and hadn’t checked his phone much.
"I’m really sorry, Jing He. I only found out today. But Champion Kusuzo has said that all the traffic revenue from the video will go to you, and you can also choose a new item or a TM as a gift."
Akira continued, "Of course, if you feel it has a negative impact, I can have the video taken down."
"Cough."
Looking at the text message from his bank, Jing He cleared his throat.
"Actually, the person most affected by this video is you, Akira."
After all, this video was essentially making him, the Dragon Tamer, famous.
"Winning and losing are common occurrences. This battle taught me a lot, and the rest is secondary," Akira smiled, showing a surprising level of grace.
"Besides, my face wasn’t even shown."
Jing He: "???"
The recorder was on Akira’s shoulder, so his face wasn’t visible.
Of course, those who were determined could still recognize him.
But saying this made Jing He feel a bit less burdened.
"Joking aside. What do you think? I’ll follow your lead."
Jing He thought for a moment and sighed.
"It’s fine."
He was treating Akira’s Fossil Winged Dragon anyway, so there was no need to hide anything.
When they battled, quite a few of the gardeners and servants at the Zuberi Estate had seen them.
Becoming more famous was inevitable, or he wouldn’t have published his papers in the first place.
Moreover, with so many consultations, he could help more people and Pokemon.
He might even earn a bit of consulting fees.
And he could gather more material for his research.
He glanced at the playful Gastly and Weavile.
Now that he had a little one to raise, he was under a lot of pressure.
After hanging up the phone, Jing He started going through the messages in his consultation room.
He quickly replied to the simpler ones.
There were still some more challenging ones left.
For example—
[Psychic Girl]: Why won’t my Gligar evolve?
