Chapter 600: Capturing Victini
Chapter 600: Capturing Victini
The next morning, Jinghe awoke with a start, as if propelled by an explosion. Victini, who had been sleeping on his head, suddenly traced a beautiful parabola in the air, like a catapult.
"Nya, Nya?"
Victini, still groggy from sleep, looked bewildered, only to realize it was about to crash into the wall.
"Yikes!"
Youjilasa sprang up, trying to catch Victini with both hands, but it was too high for them.
Fortunately, Victini could fly, and after a brief moment of confusion, it stopped before hitting the wall.
"Sorry, Victini," Jinghe apologized, rubbing his temples.
He had dreamed that Scarlet Armor Knight used Blast Burn, blowing up his house.
Scarlet Armor Knight had gained numerous benefits from Reshiram and needed to train and assimilate them. With Victini's care, the house being blown up was the least of his worries.
"Thank goodness it was just a dream."
It was terrifying.
Meanwhile, in the room next to Jinghe's, Xiluona, just out of bed, wore a loose and soft pink Jigglypuff pajama. She gently nudged Jiadeliya, who was still sleeping on the bed.
"Hmm?"
Jiadeliya rubbed her eyes.
She had chatted with Xiluona until late last night and was still sleepy.
Xiluona pointed to the phone on the bedside table, which was ringing.
Jiadeliya ruffled her messy blonde hair, and the phone floated up and answered the call.
"Hello, Miss Jiadeliya?" a gentle voice asked on the other end, belonging to the Fourth Elite, Wan Long.
"But we agreed to take a week off before reporting!" Jiadeliya covered her head with the blanket.
It wasn't just Wan Long; Jiadeliya and Adek's disciple, Lian Wu, were also selected by the Unova League as candidates for the next Fourth Elite.
Wan Long and Lian Wu had already reported, and Lian Wu had even started carrying out some League tasks.
Jiadeliya had requested leave to spend time with Xiluona.
No one knew when this trend started in the League, but the older Trainers, especially those from Sinnoh and Unova, were eagerly awaiting their retirement. Jiadeliya and her peers seemed to be next in line.
"It's not about that. I'm calling on behalf of the League to ask you some questions about Teacher Jinghe."
Teacher Jinghe?
Xiluona, sitting nearby, perked up her ears, while Jiadeliya threw off the covers, gritting her teeth.
"Well, you, can, ask, him, yourself," she said slowly.
"I think so too," Wan Long replied, seemingly unaware of her tone.
"Jiadeliya, what do you think Teacher Jinghe lacks the most?" Wan Long asked, taking out a notebook.
"Lacks?" Jiadeliya was taken aback.
Wan Long briefly explained that the Unova League wanted to thank Teacher Jinghe for his assistance during the recent incident but didn't know what he needed. Considering Jiadeliya's close relationship with Teacher Jinghe, they were asking for her input.
"Me? I'm close to him?" Jiadeliya laughed sarcastically.
That guy almost took away my cute little one!
She had expected Wan Long to ask about Teacher Jinghe's "personal matters" for her novel.
Tsk, too bad, can't badmouth him now.
"What do you think Teacher Jinghe lacks?"
Jiadeliya looked at Xiluona.
Xiluona wanted to demonstrate by taking money from her wallet but remembered she didn't have a wallet or cash.
So, she improvised.
Xiluona quickly formed her hand into the shape of a wallet and made a gesture of pulling out coins with the other hand.
A question mark appeared above Jiadeliya's head.
What was this?
A direct approach?
Explosion?
Yes! Explosion!
Oh~
Jiadeliya understood and pouted, "Explosion... I mean, I think he needs more powerful moves."
"More powerful moves?" Wan Long on the phone was taken aback.
Did Teacher Jinghe need more powerful moves?
But then she reconsidered.
Indeed, Teacher Jinghe wasn't just training one team of Pokemon. He might be preparing for a second or even a third team.
Moreover, during the Young Master World Championship, Teacher Jinghe hadn't used widely known powerful moves like Mega Kick, Self-Destruct, Hyper Beam, or Giga Impact.
"I understand! Thank you, Jiadeliya!"
After saying this, Wan Long hung up excitedly.
"He doesn't deserve it," Jiadeliya muttered with dissatisfaction.
Xiluona lightly patted her forehead.
Was her gesture that unrecognizable?
But then Xiluona thought, it didn't matter.
After all, Jinghe's Pokemon didn't seem to have systematically learned those "general" moves from various types.
And since the Unova League was offering the move tutors and necessary items, there wouldn't be any additional cost.
"Achoo!"
Jinghe, who was brushing his teeth, suddenly sneezed.
"That's odd," Jinghe said, rubbing his nose. "Could it be that Xiluona is thinking about me?"
Gurgle, gurgle—
He spat out the mouthwash, washed his face, and instantly felt refreshed.
As he turned to leave the bathroom, he saw Victini perched behind the doorframe, peering cautiously.
"What's wrong, Victini?" Jinghe asked curiously.
"Nya, Nya!"
Victini seemed to have made a decision, nodding firmly at Jinghe.
Last night, during the celebration in Einroudak, Jinghe had asked Victini about its plans.
The question had stumped Victini at the time.
As a little creature that had been sealed here for a millennium without friends or companions, it was suddenly asked about its plans after the seal was broken.
So, Jinghe had considered and provided Victini with a few options.
First, it could stay in Einroudak like Reshiram.
After this incident, the residents of Einroudak and the Earthfolk would undoubtedly cherish and protect Victini.
Second, it could venture out and explore the world.
After being confined to Einroudak for so long, it was natural for Victini to be curious about the outside world.
As an infinite Pokemon, a top-tier support in the Pokemon world, Jinghe couldn't help but feel tempted by the third and final option—to go out and explore with Jinghe (and feed him macarons).
One of Victini's unique traits, "Victory Star," caught Jinghe's attention.
【Victory Star: Increases the accuracy of all moves used by allied Pokemon on the field!】
Accuracy! This was a rare boost compared to the more common attack and defense buffs.
Moreover, it was an all-encompassing, large-scale Buff Aura that affected all Pokemon.
Adding to that, its method of channeling infinite energy as support made Jinghe feel that even a Groudon with a Victini could challenge a Rayquaza.
After obtaining these three options, Victini was ready to make a decision.
However, Jinghe suggested that Victini take some time to think it over and make a decision the next day (while feeding him macarons).
Jinghe couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he watched Victini make its choice.
After a night of contemplation, Victini made its decision.
It chose to follow Jinghe!
Jinghe immediately smiled and extended his hand towards Victini.
"Neh-mee~~"
Victini eagerly jumped into Jinghe's arms (and devoured the macarons).
"Crunch, crunch—"
The little Pokemon happily hugged the macarons and began nibbling on them.
This was the kind of Pokemon Jinghe had always dreamed of—one that required minimal food and possessed immense energy, needing no training at all.
Of course, Victini wasn't particularly fond of battling, which perfectly aligned with Jinghe's preferences.
"I've caught Victini!" Jinghe exclaimed, imagining what Satoshi would say in this situation.
"Breakfast time! Breakfast time!"
Jinghe's joy was evident as he waved his hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Genggui, who had been prepared in advance, gave the order, and the Pokemon holding confetti cannons began to spin, releasing colorful streamers. The little Victini's eyes sparkled with delight, filled with stars.
"Hngga!"
Genggui, representing all of Jinghe's Pokemon, organized a simple welcome ceremony for Victini and delivered a brief speech.
"Hngga~~ Hngga~~"
From now on, let's swear to serve the Jing family for generations, smoking, drinking, and getting perms!
Jinghe: "?"
"Where did you learn all this?" Jinghe asked, gently tapping Genggui's head. "And when did you prepare these confetti cannons?"
Genggui shrank back, embarrassed.
"Hngga."
Last night, during the celebration, they snuck into my mouth.
Jinghe: "."
As he watched the delighted Victini, a thought suddenly crossed Jinghe's mind. Would accepting Victini lead to corrupting it?
"Lotom, Vacuum Cleaner Mode!"
Lotom, with tears in its eyes from the confetti on the ground, transformed into a vacuum cleaner.
"Received, Lotom~(╥﹏╥)"
"Wuu~~"
At that moment, Rapid Dragon, who had gone out for an early morning stroll, flew back. It was panting heavily, with a slight sheen of sweat on its forehead, indicating an enjoyable flight.
"Neh-mee~~"
Noticing Rapid Dragon's condition, Victini immediately waved its hand, and a V-shaped glow appeared on its forehead, channeling energy into Rapid Dragon.
The previously exhausted Rapid Dragon instantly felt rejuvenated! Just as Jinghe was feeling relieved, Rapid Dragon expressed its desire:
"Wuu~~"
Let's fly a few more laps!
With that, it darted off again.
Jinghe, with his eyes wide open, had another thought. In the past, he would train his Pokemon daily to expend their excess energy and prevent them from becoming too energetic and causing trouble at home.
But now, with Victini's support, would these little guys have endless energy?
Jinghe suddenly felt a sense of dread.
In the Kanto region, at the Rocket Gang's base in the Joban area, Banzu received a report from Aoliu.
"Boss Banzu, Jinghe has indeed resolved the issue with the three Cloud Gods," Aoliu said, appearing on the screen.
Banzu, however, remained calm.
Isn't that normal? They're just the Three Cloud Gods.
"Tell me what happened," Banzu instructed.
Aoliu explained, "According to our intelligence, Jinghe first awakened Reshiram, who had been dormant for a thousand years, and gained its approval. Then he defeated the Three Cloud Gods."
"Reshiram?" Banzu lightly tapped his fingers on the desk.
Reshiram, the Truth Dragon? As someone who once attempted to invade the Unova region, Banzu was familiar with the legendary Tao Trio of Unova.
"Then he summoned Giratina and united with Reshiram, Darkrai, and Victini."
"Giratina?"
". He defeated the fused Zekrom and Reshiram and even gained Zekrom's approval, becoming the first-ever Black and White Hero!"
Banzu: "."
Weren't they just the Three Cloud Gods?
How did this involve so many others? Reshiram, Zekrom, and Giratina from the Sinnoh region?
"You mentioned the fusion of Legendary Pokemon?" Banzu noticed the critical detail.
"Yes, Zekrom and Reshiram fused, becoming the powerful Dark Zekrom!" Aoliu's cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Fusion," Banzu repeated softly.
He opened a drawer and retrieved a confidential file, signed by the "Aether Foundation"! The Aether Foundation had previously invited the Rocket Gang to collaborate on Pokemon fusion research.
In terms of understanding Pokemon gene structures, no underground organization in the Pokemon world could rival the Rocket Gang.
"Boss? Boss?"
After Aoliu finished his report, he noticed that Banzu seemed distracted.
Banzu snapped back to attention, "Is it over?"
"Yes!"
"I have something for Jinghe. When you return, deliver it to him." Banzu took out a sealed glass jar containing a black crystal the size of a thumb, sent by the Aether Foundation.
Maybe Jinghe can figure out what this is.
"And transfer one million Union Coins to his account as a reward," Banzu instructed generously.
"Yes, sir!"
