Chapter 573: The Impact of an "Unbeatable" Ghost
Chapter 573: The Impact of an "Unbeatable" Ghost
Jinghe defeats Da Wu, securing the victory in the "Master and Apprentice Battle" and successfully advancing to the finals!
This instantly becomes the hottest topic online.
Among the discussions, the most talked-about aspect is the battle between Cang Yan Jian Gui and Hong Lian Kai Qi during the competition.
The audience thought that the ability of Cang Yan Jian Gui and Hong Lian Kai Qi to freely switch forms was already impressive enough, but Teacher Jinghe had something even more spectacular to show them.
Cang Yan Jian Gui can coexist with both sword and cannon?
Long-range cannon attacks and close-range sword strikes!
Close-range swordsmen fear long-range mages, and long-range mages fear being approached by warriors, but Cang Yan Jian Gui can attack from all angles.
When Cang Yan Jian Gui switched forms earlier, it caused the popularity of certain Pokemon to skyrocket, and now with the display of a new form, the popularity has soared even higher.
Countless trainers from the Paldea region are begging Teacher Jinghe to publish a book or research paper, as they are all envious of his knowledge.
Aside from Cang Yan Jian Gui, the Martial Panda, who mastered the One-Hit Stream and Combo Stream, is also a hot topic.
It's not that everyone is chasing after the Martial Panda like they did with the Sproutlotad.
After all, the Martial Panda is a legendary Pokemon that only exists on Armor Island, and it takes the recognition of Master Marsden to have a chance to catch it.
What caught everyone's attention was Dan Ti's phone call.
Especially the nickname "Xiao Hehe."
As for the clash between Mega Gigalith and Mega Gengar, it goes without saying.
This was the most exciting and thrilling clash throughout the entire match.
As it turns out, Mega Evolution has become the mainstream enhancement method in major tournaments.
Although there are Z-Moves and Primal Reversion, which can only be used once, compared to Mega Evolution, these two methods have a slightly one-sided advantage in terms of enhancement.
Z-Moves can only enhance one move, which may bring different effects, but it's still just a single move.
Primal Reversion only changes attributes or enhances the original attributes, making it a decent countermeasure, but the Primal Orb requires too much energy, and energy replenishment is only available in the Paldea region and the Blue Berry Academy.
Mega Evolution is different.
It not only changes a Pokemon's attributes and abilities but also enhances their abilities comprehensively, bringing about significant changes.
Moreover, the lower and upper limits of the enhancements brought about by Mega Evolution depend on the bond between the trainer and the Pokemon, which is even more significant than the enhancements themselves for trainers who value this connection.
This is especially suitable for trainers and Pokemon who excel at "bursting" their potential.
However, Mega Evolution also has its shortcomings.
The number of Pokemon that can Mega Evolve is limited, unlike Z-Moves and Primal Reversion, which can be used by any Pokemon.
As for Gigantamax, it can be applied to all Pokemon, and the enhancements are decent, providing both move and overall ability boosts. Although the duration is short, it's still a decent form of enhancement.
The limitation is that Gigantamax can only be performed at specific energy points in the Galar region, making it exclusive to that region.
Currently, there are no cases of combining different enhancement methods, such as Mega Evolution with Z-Moves or Mega Evolution with Primal Reversion.
The main reason is that these enhancements place high demands on the trainer's overall qualities, including physical and other aspects, which can be burdensome.
Even Mega Evolution alone can be burdensome for trainers, and many people, despite having Mega Stones and Key Stones, can only maintain the Mega Evolution for a short time.
Adding other enhancements might cause the trainer to reach their limit first.
Moreover, the demands and burdens on the Pokemon are also significant.
After the match, during lunch.
"Gengar."
Jinghe stops the small, chubby, pale-skinned Gengar that was trying to sneak away on tiptoes.
"Heh, heh."
Gengar turns around with an awkward smile, scratching his head, acting as if he doesn't understand what Jinghe wants.
"Hmm?"
But Jinghe doesn't say anything; he just sits there with his arms crossed, smiling as he watches Gengar, humming softly through his nose.
That smile makes Gengar feel uneasy.
"Heh?"
Gengar looks left and right, avoiding eye contact with Jinghe and not running away.
Finally, under Jinghe's psychological tactics, Gengar can't take it anymore.
He points his finger suddenly.
"Heh!"
Look! A UFO!
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Where? Loto?"
The Tyrantrum, Metagross, and Rapid Dragon all turn their heads sharply towards the window, tricked by Gengar.
Lopunny is the first to strike a pose, ready to capture the moment.
However, Geng Gui seized the opportunity and was about to make a run for it.
Jing He chuckled.
He casually grabbed Loto and pressed the shutter button, aiming at the empty space in front of him.
"Click—!"
On Loto's screen, Geng Gui was shown making a "Yay" gesture.
"Loto?"
Loto was filled with question marks.
At the same time, Jing He's other hand grabbed the sharp horn on Geng Gui's head.
"Hngga?"
Geng Gui was also filled with question marks.
But upon realizing that Jing He had caught him, he immediately put on a sheepish smile.
"Running?" Jing He chuckled lightly, full of disdain.
"Hngga~"
Geng Gui waved his hands repeatedly.
Running? Why would I run? I just saw a UFO and got a little excited.
Before he could finish his sentence, he met Jing He's gaze.
The next second, Geng Gui raised his hands in surrender.
Then, he rolled his tongue and took out the item, Gene Wedge, that Mr. Shaka had entrusted Jing He to keep safe.
Jing He was already aware of this item, so he continued to smile contentedly at Geng Gui.
"Hngga."
Geng Gui rolled his tongue again and finally spat out a pitch-black stone, the very same black stone that Adeke had given to him.
"What's this?"
Jing He took the black stone, looking puzzled, and at the same time, he released his grip on Geng Gui.
"Hngga."
Geng Gui immediately wilted, his ears drooping, head lowered, and fingers pointing at each other as if he couldn't explain himself.
He only knew that the original Gene Wedge didn't react when he held it in his hand, even after pondering over it for a long time.
But with this black stone, the Gene Wedge responded, and Geng Gui had "learned" something from it.
"Could it be a Dragon Stone?"
Dragon Stone?
Rapid Dragon perked up its ears.
Logically, the "Dragon Stone" was the stone that Zekrom and Reshiram transformed into when they fell asleep, and in the game "Black/White 1," there was no item like the Gene Wedge, but the "Dragon Stone" of the Black and White Dragons could actually serve the same function as the Gene Wedge.
It was also called a "Divine Stone."
It wasn't until the game "Black/White 2" that the "Divine Stone" was replaced by the Gene Wedge.
But this wasn't a game, and after the Black and White Dragons fell asleep and woke up again, wouldn't the "Dragon Stone" disappear?
After all, Jing He and the others had seen Zekrom before.
"Since it's black, it must be left by Zekrom?" Jing He made a reasonable guess.
Adeke had gone to protect the museum.
Was the "Dragon Stone" that the Black Dragon Zekrom transformed into when it fell asleep displayed in the museum?
Or was it in the Dragon Spiral Tower?
It wasn't clear.
But since it could react with the Gene Wedge and was a black stone, it was highly likely that it was the "Dragon Stone" left by Zekrom.
"How did you do it?" Jing He looked curious.
"Hngga!"
Geng Gui seemed to have recovered from his previous listlessness. Upon hearing Jing He's question, he immediately became spirited and proudly took out his phone, turning the screen towards Jing He.
On the screen was a large head eavesdropping on the side.
"Electronic Pet" Giratina! Hmm?
Giratina, who was eavesdropping, seemed to realize that Geng Gui had "sold" him out and slowly turned around, meeting Jing He's gaze through the screen.
Jing He shuddered suddenly.
[I have nothing to do with this!]
As the voice faded, the screen returned to normal, and Giratina froze.
This chapter is brought to you by Liu Jiu Book Bar.
Jing He: "..."
So, you're a "Rebellious Dragon," and the commotion in the Sinnoh region wasn't enough for you. Now you want to get involved in the Unova region too, huh?
This Giratina guy, his "screen-peeping" habit is also well-known.
However, since Geng Gui didn't learn anything bad, Jing He didn't investigate further. After all, the little ones have their own thoughts and secrets, and it's normal for them to have their little secrets.
Even if they're children with their parents, they can have their own little thoughts. As long as they haven't learned anything bad, it's fine. Investigating too deeply is counterproductive.
Perhaps Geng Gui just wanted to secretly study and surprise himself?
"Alright, go play by yourself."
Confirming that Geng Gui had learned something was enough.
"Hngga~"
Geng Gui, feeling like he had been pardoned, held his phone and ran to the corner with excitement.
Seeing him muttering to his phone, he was probably explaining his "betrayal."
Jing He propped his chin and rubbed it twice.
Before, he was a little worried that if Geng Gui stayed in contact with Giratina for too long, he would be influenced and learn to be "rebellious."
But now it seems more like Giratina has been influenced by Geng Gui.
"Indeed, when life meets life, something is born."
Geng Gui's "influence" is also a kind of "invincibility" in another dimension.
The sun was setting in the west.
Click!
"Teacher."
Invited by Da Wu, he arrived at Jing He's residence before dinner.
Behind him, the giant pumpkin man carried large and small packages of ingredients, showcasing the full potential of his four claws.
"Da Wu, let Loto handle the packages. You can find a place to sit," Jing He's voice came from the kitchen.
"Okay."
"Loto?"
"Kang Jin..."
Loto looked at the giant pumpkin man's packages, then at his own body, and finally compared it to the giant pumpkin man's size, feeling perplexed.
How should I carry these? At this moment, a voice with a hint of laughter came from the kitchen door, "Flame Monkey, help out."
"Roar!"
Flame Monkey, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes half-closed, conserving his energy, opened his eyes. He looked at the person in the kitchen with annoyance, stood up, and took the packages from the giant pumpkin man.
Da Wu looked at Shi Luo Na, who was standing at the kitchen door, with a puzzled expression.
"Why is Miss Shi Luo Na at the kitchen door?"
Wu Song, sitting on the sofa, silently observed the situation. Meanwhile, Da Ye, with a bruised face, enthusiastically gestured for Da Wu to look at the note stuck on the kitchen door.
Hmm? Da Wu was taken aback and shifted his gaze to read the note—
Geng Gui and Shi Luo Na, Keep Out!
"Cough! Cough, cough..."
Having just taken a sip of water, he almost couldn't hold back from spitting it out.
Wow, only Teacher Jing He would dare to put up such a note.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Jing He, wearing an apron, listened to Meloetta's classical song while directing Loto to prepare the ingredients and chatting with Shi Luo Na.
He couldn't help but miss the Ai Guan Servant siblings.
If they were here, preparing the ingredients would be much easier.
"As for Ado, an Ice-type Pokemon is quite important." Jing He said.
The two were discussing Shi Luo Na and Ado's battle tomorrow.
It was a good opportunity to talk about it while Ado wasn't present.
"Mmm, Kona also mentioned this to me," Shi Luo Na leaned against the doorframe, holding a cup of fresh MooMoo Milk Tea, and took a small sip while observing the busy figures in the kitchen.
"Kona?"
Jing He, facing away from Shi Luo Na, chuckled, "After all, he's a Dodrio."
He wasn't sure when the nickname "Dodrio" started spreading among their group.
Cough, Jing He claimed to be unaware of this.
Shi Luo Na also laughed.
Everyone had some nicknames, some could be called directly, and some... well, not so much.
For instance, Ado's "Dodrio," Kona's "Old Woman," Da Ye's "Fire-Playing Exploding Head," Shi Luo Na's "Big Sis," and Danti's "Advertising Man," among others.
Jing He: What? I have nothing to do with this.
"Your Ice Eevee will play a crucial role."
Shi Luo Na's Ice Eevee is quite capable, and she has invested a lot in its training during the Eevee stage.
After all, Shi Luo Na's online nickname is "Eevee Eating Cabbage," which shows her love for Eevee.
"Mmm," Shi Luo Na took a sip of milk tea and nodded.
"Although Eevee can learn some Fairy-type moves, it would be better if you could catch a Fairy-type Pokemon in the future." Jing He suggested.
Shi Luo Na wasn't a trainer specialized in a single type.
However, among her Pokemon, she seemed to lack a Fairy-type one.
Attribute suppression is a separate issue.
Pokemon with immunity to a certain type, such as Steel-type, Normal-type, Ghost-type, Dark-type, and Fairy-type, can be very useful when facing specific opponents.
Take Da Wu, who caught a Ducklett, as an example.
If he gives the Mega Stone to Ducklett when facing Ado, it becomes another "Dragon Slayer."
Upon hearing this, Shi Luo Na's eyes lit up slightly.
"Do you have any recommendations?"
She had already thought about this, but trainers catching Pokemon also depends on their destiny.
"Ninetales?"
Shi Luo Na was indeed tempted by Ninetales.
Jing He chuckled again, "You're not Kona, so there's no need to specifically 'target' Ado."
Ninetales is powerful not only because of its Ice-type and Fairy-type combination but also its "Snow Warning" ability. However, snow conditions are not very effective for Shi Luo Na.
At least, without specific coordination, it's challenging to utilize.
Additionally, the Ice-type also overlaps with Eevee.
Jing He pursed his lips and suggested, "How about Togekiss?"
"Togekiss?"
"Yes, the Fairy-type and Flying-type combination is excellent for control, restraint, and joint defense. Moreover, finding one with the 'Serene Grace' ability is not difficult."
Shi Luo Na's expression turned thoughtful.
She pictured the adorable Togepi in her mind and couldn't help but smile.
"Mmm, that's a good idea."
