Chapter 74: A Genius at Making Energy Orbs?
Chapter 74: A Genius at Making Energy Orbs?
Dae Ye is a close friend of Eiji, a Fire-type Pokemon trainer, and a future member of the Sinnoh Elite Four. His signature Pokemon is a Chimchar.
He is a typical "emotional" trainer, the kind that often uses classic commands like "Stand up!" "Hang in there!" and "Quick, dodge!"—the kind of case the original owner of Jing He's body had studied extensively.
Satoshi, when he split his intelligence in Sinnoh, fits this category perfectly.
When trainers like Dae Ye "go berserk," Chimchar's Blaze ability activates, and they can nearly sweep even Cynthia, requiring a Garchomp to finally bring them down.
For trainers of this type, learning the "Substitute Toxic" strategy is like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon.
It's like how Jing He would teach Daimon tactics for Armaldo but wouldn't teach Shigeru "quality" tactics, because they don't fit his style.
It's not that Daimon and his Pokemon lack intimacy; it's just that each person's character dictates their approach. Daimon can occasionally get fired up, but he can't stay that way forever.
Of course, Shigeru's Pokemon also don't lend themselves to overly "quality" tactics.
If he just mastered the "Mauville Power," he would be quite "quality" already.
In the manga, Shigeru, the Dragon-type Elite Four member, was defeated by Mauville's Ledyba and Caterpie, which speaks volumes about the power of "Mauville Power."
"Next time you go back to the academy, return it!"
Jing He pulled Gastly aside to lecture him.
"The Hypnosis Orb isn't like a Seviper's fangs or a Zubat's teeth; they don't grow back when you pull them out."
"Pika!"
Gastly drooped his head, fiddling with the Hypnosis Orb in his hands.
He still thought it was pretty useful.
Seeing Gastly's expression, Jing He sighed inwardly.
He's such a handful.
"Teacher Jing He."
At that moment, Nurse Joy walked over with a serious look on her face.
"Gastly, take Vulpix to play somewhere else."
Jing He knew what Nurse Joy was about to say, but he didn't forget the incident with the Overgrow Monkeys at the academy and reminded him again, "Don't cause trouble."
"Pika!"
Gastly was still immersed in the sorrow of losing the Hypnosis Orb and absentmindedly nodded.
Once the two Pokemon had moved a distance away, Nurse Joy said:
"The information you asked me to look into about the Alola Pokemon has some leads, but it seems to be connected to the 'Pokemon Rampage' incidents."
The Escavalier and the four Volbeat did show signs of losing control, but it was different from what Jing He had encountered before.
Their loss of control wasn't as severe.
Jing He guessed that the five Pokemon were likely "sharing the burden."
"So?"
"You were right. It does involve 'Pokemon Hunters' and 'smuggling,'" Nurse Joy said.
Upon hearing this, Jing He furrowed his brow.
Pokemon Hunters are ruthless individuals who capture and sell Pokemon indiscriminately.
The one Jing He remembered most vividly was Pokemon Hunter J.
Dae Ye and Eiji, for instance, became close friends in their youth after they teamed up to stop a Pokemon Hunter and got beaten up together, forging a bond in the process.
With Pokemon Hunters involved and the Pokemon Rampage incidents, this was no longer a problem a mere academy teacher could solve.
"However, there aren't many Pokemon Hunters who capture Pokemon in Alola and sell them in Hoenn, right?" Jing He asked.
Nurse Joy nodded.
"Indeed. The unexplained rampages of Pokemon are the two biggest clues in this case."
"If there's anything I can help with, please let me know."
Jing He said earnestly.
Given the involvement of the Glaceon, he couldn't afford to stay out of it.
"Of course. Once the Escavalier and Volbeat wake up, I'll need your help, Teacher Jing He."
On the other side, Eiji stood with Pikachu and Riolu, hands in his pockets, expressionless as he watched Jing He and Nurse Joy.
He could see that Jing He's Gastly wasn't stronger than Riolu or Pikachu, and was actually weaker. The Escavalier with four Volbeat absorbed the electricity, rendering Riolu and Pikachu's attacks ineffective.
But that didn't matter to him since the issue was resolved.
Eiji recalled Riolu and turned to leave.
"Pika."
Pikachu on his shoulder let out a small, sad cry, a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Jing He saw Eiji leave but didn't stop him.
First, he had no good reason to.
Second, he couldn't find a good solution to Eiji's "problem" at the moment.
Jing He gradually grew to loathe battles, purely because of his daily encounters with trainers who came to challenge him at the Kanaz Pokemon gym. Dealing with "mouth-strong kings" every day was more exhausting than actually being strong.
Honestly, facing "mouth-strong kings" every day was emotionally taxing, especially for someone like Jing He, who was determined to challenge the Elite Four.
Over time, his disdain for "mouth-strong kings" in battles gradually turned into a general disdain for battles.
Eventually, he decided to just hand out gym badges directly.
Rather than wasting time, it was better to spend more energy on improving his machinery.
In the original work, a battle between Jing He and Xiao Zhi, a "emotion-type" trainer, resonated with him, especially since Xiao Zhi used a Pikachu. This barely reignited his fighting spirit.
But where could Jing He find two more "emotion type" trainers?
And what if they also had a Pikachu?
This was the headache for Jing He.
'Would a direct hit, making him unable to take care of himself, leaving a negative impact?'
Jing He thought to himself.
"Let’s just deal with this, thank you."
A Hawl carried a box into Jing He’s house, under the command of a Ghastly,, and placed it aside. The box was gently put on the ground, and Hawl was even nervous about being exposed by the "fruit-masher."
The box was carefully placed on the ground, and Hawl was so nervous that he meticulously cleared the area around it.
Seeing this, Jing He thanked him with a few energy cubes.
"Awesome~~"
Hawl shook his head in disappointment, indicating he was professionally trained and couldn’t just eat anything off the floor.
He then took out a card from behind his back.
Now, should he swipe it?
Jing He nervously took out his bank card.
Hawl completed the card swipe operation with great proficiency and didn’t forget to take the paper aside, even cleaning up the trash left at the door.
Seeing this, Ghastly jumped up.
"See, this is what professional!"
However, their attention was soon drawn to the new, shiny "fruit masher," which was almost immediately occupied by them.
Originally, Jing he was prepared to buy a secondhand, but due to the incident with Qiao Nong’s Beedrill, the boss of Appliance City expressed his gratitude by specially gifting Jing He and Dian Ci each a gold voucher.
Dian ci was flung by this "systematized" machinery.
However, being picked up by Pikachu and given to Ghastly, who then gave Jing He the "gold," he didn’t have the chance to refuse because Dian Ci had already left.
This made Jing He grit his teeth and buy a brand new "fruit masher."
"oh."
Bing Liutail sat in front of the massive "fruit masher," mouth agape.
Jing He looked at the manual while taking out the fruit already prepared.
The "fruit masher" wasn’t hard to operate.
Making the energy cubes wasn’t difficult either, mainly just about controlling the ratio and the making time.
Figuring it out by himself was naturally hard, but if someone provided the formula, it would be much easier.
Before long, this "big guy" was humming and hawming, making Jing He exclaim, “truly a high-end,” the noise wasn’t too loud, not affecting the neighbors.
About half an hour later.
A six-colored, crystalline energy cube was produced.
This was the "appl wild fruit" energy cube, mainly used to restore Pokemon’s health and provide daily nutrition.
Ghastly couldn’t wait to lick up a cube and chew it with his eyes closed.
Xiao Liutail eagerly grabbed a warm cube and took a small bite.
The two Pokemon looked at each other.
"hum hum hum~~(`)"
"oh, oh~~(′▽`〃)"
"really that good to eat?"
Seeing their expressions, Jing He, who made the first energy cube, felt quite surprised.
Could it be that he was a genius at making energy cubes?
He casually picked one up, tossing it into his mouth.
The next second.
His face turned red.
"pfft——"
Immediately, both Ghastly and Xiao Liutail threw up, making the room filled with the sound of "phew phew."
Jing He’s heart was in despair.
It’s over, Xiao Liutail was completely biased by Ghastly.
"you two little guys"
"hum hum hum~~"
"oh oh oh~~（＾＾●）"
For a moment, laughter filled the entire room.
The author also has an exam next year, wishing all the seniors taking the exam this year good luck!
