Spiritual Master of the Elf World

"Teacher Jinghe."

Caidou, who was eating cake, suddenly seemed to remember something and stumbled.

"Um?"

"Please, please don't tell others about my liking for desserts!" Caidou said with a red face.

Under the elite education of her parents, Caidou attaches great importance to etiquette and has excellent judgment. She remains calm in any dangerous situation.

But the result is this.

Aido, who was obviously much younger than Daigo and the others, gradually became the gym leader under the strict requirements of his parents. At the same time, his spirit was unintentionally restrained, and his smile disappeared without realizing it.

Looking at Caidou with a solemn expression, Jing He sighed secretly.

It seems that only when eating dessert, she will smile sincerely and reveal her true feelings.

"No problem." Jing He smiled.

"M-thank you!"

quickly.

Caidou finished a large portion of cake.

Only, after finishing dessert.

"Please be sure to have a Pokémon battle with me, Teacher Jing He!"

She stood in front of Jing He, bowed at 90° again, and begged.

Sure enough, there is no way to escape.

Jing He felt helpless.

"Chirp!"

Before he could speak, the skillful blacksmith standing next to him stood up with a hammer in hand, a faint fire flashing in his eyes.

There are still two most difficult gyms left in the Kanto region. It must seize the opportunity to improve its strength!

Caidou knew at first glance that he was a fighter, so it was just right for him to test the fighting skills he learned from Shiba.

"Do you want to fight?" Jing He looked at Blacksmith Qiao.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

The clever blacksmith nodded heavily.

Seeing the expression on Qiao Blacksmith's face, Caidou also started to light up.

"Teacher Jinghe, let's fight!"

"Chirp!!"

An open space behind the cafe.

Jing He and Cai Dou stood on both sides.

A cool breeze blew by, the grass blades swayed, and there were ripples on the lake not far away.

What's going on with this sense of déjà vu dueling under the sunset? Jing He rubbed his temples.

"Come on, Wei Li!" Caidou's eyes narrowed and he threw the elf ball.

In the flash of red light, a humanoid Pokémon with blue skin and four thick arms appeared in front of Caidou.

It is one of the most representative fighting Pokémon, the evolved form of Haoli, with strange strength!

It is also one of Caido's most iconic Pokémon.

Caidou stood still with a serious face, grabbed the ends of the headband with both hands, and squeezed hard.

Wei Li did the same thing. He took out a "black belt" from under his belt, tied it on his head, and tightened it hard!

[Black Belt: A headband that invigorates your spirit. When worn, it can enhance the power of Pokémon’s fighting attributes (wear it and you will become a black belt master)! 】

"Picture Book" You have been a bit active recently.

Feeling the pressure?

"Chirp?"

Upon seeing this, the clever blacksmith blinked, then took out a headband, tied it on his head, and tightened it with the same movement!

Power headband!

Caido's eyes glowed slightly.

This clever blacksmith is so in tune with her!

not far away.

The Team Rocket trio were watching the scene from behind a big tree.

"Who is that girl?" Musashi asked.

"It seems...called Aido?" Kojiro was a little unsure.

"Is she going to challenge Teacher Jing He?"

"Say~Nhiss!" (Must win!)

"Go all out, Wei Li!" Caidou said in a deep voice.

"Roar!" Guai Li spread his arms and grinned excitedly.

"chirp"

The clever blacksmith looked at the strange force that pulled away the waiting horse's steps, and thought in his heart.

Is it a small hammer or a sledgehammer?

It seems that a sledgehammer is more reassuring.

Buzz——

The slightly blue mist of waveguide power emerged from Jing He's body, and his voice also sounded in the heart of the skillful blacksmith.

"Skillful Blacksmith, Sword Dance!"

next moment.

"Chirp!"

The skillful blacksmith's hammer hit the ground heavily, and with the slight vibration of the ground, bursts of red light appeared on its body, as if accompanied by a sonorous buzz.

"Eh? Has it started yet?" Kojiro asked in surprise.

Caidou was also stunned when he saw this.

"Caidou." Jing He said in a deep voice, without blushing or out of breath: "If you are not prepared for a defensive counterattack, then seizing the upper hand is the first step in the battle!"

Anyway, it’s not a regular competition and there’s no referee. What’s wrong with grabbing a “sword dance” first?

After hearing this, Caidou came back to his senses, his face suddenly straightened, and he said seriously:

"I've learned a lesson, Teacher Jinghe!"

In her opinion, Teacher Jing He was teaching. After all, she was here to learn and demonstrate. It was normal.

And if it's in the wild, your opponent won't tell you any rules.

Caidou's eyes flashed, and she waved her fist and said:

"Explosive punch!!"

The strange power with "no defense" characteristics, completely ignoring its own defense, exploded with extremely strong flexibility and aggression.

The strange force flashed out very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, and appeared in front of the skillful blacksmith.

Immediately, Wei Li raised his arms and stretched them behind him, and dazzling dark red fighting energy burst out from his fists.

The "no defense" characteristic gives Wei Li a very high hit rate in his moves.

The "Explosion Fist" is a fighting technique with a power of 100 points. At the same time, it will definitely put the opponent into a "confusion" state after hitting. The only disadvantage is that the hit rate of this technique is extremely low, and if it is in the game, it only has a hit rate of 50%.

It is only higher than the one-hit-kill technique like "Earth Crack".

However, the combination of the "no defense" feature and the "Explosion Fist" is the so-called "explosion no defense" tactic.

With the characteristics of the "Explosion Fist", it will definitely cause "confusion" after hitting, and the threat is not much less than the ultimate move such as "Earth Crack".

However.

This is not a game after all. Even with the "no defense" feature as a backup, the technique does not have a 100% chance of hitting.

For example.

At this moment!

The strange force's movements are extremely fast, but under the gaze of Jing He who used the wave power, the speed is not exaggerated.

Clang! !

The strange force's powerful fists hit the hammer of the clever blacksmith, making a dull sound.

At the same time, the forger grabbed the hammer and dragged it down to relieve the force.

This is one of the skills it learned from Xiba's fighting experience.

Sometimes, when facing a powerful opponent, head-on confrontation is good, but it does not mean that there are no relatively more labor-saving and practical skills.

Hmm?

Caidou was stunned.

Can it be like this?

However, the attack of the strange force did not stop there. Four fists like a storm fell on the surface of the hammer, and faint fist marks appeared one after another.

Jinghe's mouth twitched when he saw this scene.

Is the forger using the strange force's "explosive fist" to help him refine the hammer?

Good guy.

Jinghe exclaimed good guy.

How many rare metals do I have to buy to fill it?

It hurts, Jinghe felt a pain in his flesh.

"Now, ice hammer!!"

Unable to bear it, it captured the brief gap between the strange force attacks and commanded.

The skilled blacksmith who held the hammer to resist the added and unloaded force shouted, and when the strange force punched again, he pushed with the help of the strange force's power and swung the hammer at the same time.

"Crack, crack, crack" frost quickly covered it.

The "no defense" strange force focused on attacking opened its middle door.

"Bang" hit the hammer on the strange force.

The strange force flew out like a cannonball.

While smashing a huge dent in the ground, a large amount of dust rose.

"What a strong force!" Caidou exclaimed in her heart.

And, and the skill of unloading and then borrowing force.

She repeated the scene just now in her mind.

Is this the skill of a fighting master?

Caidou took a deep breath and punched again.

"Strange force, close combat!"

Suddenly -

In the smoke and dust, the strange force flew out.

If you look closely, you will find that the golden belt around its waist is already covered with fine cracks.

Moreover, with a roar from the strange power, the golden belt was directly broken!

It is said that because the power of the Goli is too strong, it is necessary to wear a power-limiting belt to control the power.

And since Goli has such ability, the strange power is even more unquestionable!

It completely liberated its power.

This is the full strength of Caidou and the strange power!

It is also their last attack!

The clothes burst?

Jinghe's eyes twitched.

However.

Although the "close combat" is powerful, it will also reduce the defense ability of the strange power, which is already defenseless.

It is really uncertain what the result will be if it is rushed in front of you.

So.

Then don't let the opponent get close!

"Skillful blacksmith, throw the ice hammer again!"

This move.

The skilled blacksmith is very familiar with it.

"Chiu!!"

The hammer, which is more than twice as large and covered with thick ice crystals, was thrown out by the skilled blacksmith.

Bang! !

The running monster never expected that the clever blacksmith would do this. The hammer came to its front under its gaze, and then made a very close contact with its cheek.

Seeing this scene, Jing He touched his face with his teeth bared.

Fortunately, the clever blacksmith did not bring his hammer with him when he slept. He just kicked twice, which was already very "gentle".

At the same time.

After throwing the hammer, the clever blacksmith quickly approached and caught the flying hammer just right.

A cunning look flashed in the clever blacksmith's eyes.

On the broken ice crystal hammer, a light pink halo lingered, accompanied by a faint five-pointed star, mixed with a playful and naughty charm.

Hmm?

Jing He was stunned.

Is this

Playfulness?

A hammer fell, smoke and dust rose, accompanied by a strange little star.

After a long time.

The smoke and dust dissipated.

The panting forger stood on the cracked ground with his hammer.

The strange force had already lost the ability to fight.

"I lost!" Caidou said with a straight face.

She walked step by step to Jinghe and bowed solemnly again.

"Please teach me, Teacher Jinghe!"

Jinghe held his forehead.

This. His fighting skills are definitely not as good as Caidou's. He is just a little better than her.

Looking at Caidou who seemed to be unwilling to get up if he didn't agree, Jinghe thought slightly and said:

"Caidou, I think you sometimes pay too much attention to form."

Caidou blinked.

Recalling the scene of the battle just now, he found that what Teacher Jinghe said seemed to make some sense!

"Um, do you know about unlimited battles?"

"Unlimited battles?"

Caidou raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of brilliance.

Unlimited battles, something she had never learned!

Jinghe's mouth twitched when he saw this.

It seems that because the alliance was established relatively late in the Galar region, "unlimited battles" were not too popular?

It's over.

Did I release something extraordinary?

A scene appeared in Jinghe's mind.

Go ahead, Caidou!

Shaked his head.

But

To be honest, Caidou's nature was indeed restricted by the gifted education.

Why not let her release it in the cafe first?
