Chapter 49: Day 49 of Cultivation
Chapter 49
Thick cursed energy gathered in Geto Suguru's palm, and soon...
Cohesion failed.
Geto Suguru, who just finished making a harsh statement:?
The electronic referee was dispatched urgently: "Creatures and abilities not related to Pokémon are prohibited in this Pokémon battle."
Geto Suguru avoided the camera and whispered a busy tone that non-magicians couldn't hear: "'Binding' was used in the previous Pokémon battle."
"'Binding' is a universal ability within the worldview, not exclusive to any particular ability system," said the mechanical voice.
System: "How come this electronic referee seems to be revealing the truth about the world so bluntly..."
When Gojo Satoru and Kanako returned to the main venue, they were welcomed by everyone.
Among the so-called crowd, there are many original followers of Panxing Sect.
"Oh not much!"
"Oh not much!"
Everyone clapped their hands in unison, leaving Gojo Satoru and Kanako both stunned.
Ieiri Naoko joins in: "Oh, not much~ (Congratulations)"
The system excitedly continued: "Oh, not much!!!"
Kanako patted her head, wondering if she'd lost her memory and skipped some parts. "What happened? How come these people who supported Team B are now on our side?"
The system was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Isn't this part of your plan?"
The next second, it received a variety of responses.
Gojo Satoru: "Of course not."
Ieiri Glass: “Yes.”
The two looked at each other questioningly at the same time: "?"
"Anyway—" Kanako, with a garland on her head, pushed the two people aside. "Don't worry about these details. The current situation is developing steadily as we expected!"
"If we send Xiaojie to the finals and let him win the championship himself, he should be very happy. Well, when we see him happy, we will also become super happy." Kanako nodded.
"Is that all?" Ieiri Naoko tilted her head. "Ah, it seems I was overthinking it."
Ieiri Shoko: "I originally thought you were going to use a mapping method to enlighten Goyu, like the Pokémon Tournament is a metaphor for the world, the common monkeys are a metaphor for ordinary people without spells, and the monkeys with special abilities correspond to the spellcasters..."
Gojo Satoru summed it up accurately: "So what Glass meant is that we are all monkeys."
Kanako: "That makes sense, why didn't I think of it before..."
Gojo Satoru flicked her forehead. "Because you've been missing Yega Masamichi's classes lately. Ever since he met the Trickster, he's added a special class on psychological development. Maybe he'll even invite him to give a lecture in the future."
Mingming interrupted, "Just out of curiosity, so you deliberately saved Xia Yu until last, just to make him happy?"
Gojo Satoru replied in seconds: "Yes, what's the problem?"
Seeing that the financial sponsor who hired him had spoken personally, Mingming pursed his lips and said, "Of course, no problem. This kind of task doesn't require too many requirements and pays well. If you want to have fun again in the future, count me in."
Of course Gojo Satoru agreed.
Back on the field, as his spell to pinch Pokémon was ineffective, Geto Suguru chose a conservative strategy.
He first determined Sonoda Shigeru's current location based on the scenery on the screen when Gojo Satoru left, and then walked in a completely different direction from Sonoda Shigeru, deliberately disguising his traces.
After all, Shigeru Sonoda had not received any special training. He and his Pokémon wandered around everywhere and could not find any trace of Geto Suguru.
Sonoda Shigeru was so angry that he asked "Kuai Kubatian" to find those monkeys and prepare to use the same threatening means to order them to look for Geto Suguru's trace.
Soon, a massive "Geto Suguru search plan" was launched.
Geto Suguru hid in a tree hole and analyzed the current situation calmly.
According to the process, every stage has the potential to become a breakthrough.
Capturing Pokémon - Pokémon training - releasing skills in duels should mainly focus on the above three points.
Wait…Pokémon training?
Geto Suguru suddenly remembered that up to this point in the competition, no contestant had ever practiced Pokémon.
They all use the attribute values of the first captured one, striving to get the best one so as to gain the upper hand in the battle.
However, at this stage, Sonoda Shigeru holds all the monkeys' leverage. Regardless of whether they can catch a Pokémon with potential, even the feasibility of training a Pokémon in a short period of time while avoiding his search army remains uncertain...
Geto Xia Yu looked at the palm of his hand and felt something was wrong.
His original plan was to summon a cursed spirit he had captured to act as a Pokémon, but it failed;
Later, he found a Pokémon and used the Curse Spirit Manipulation technique to cast the power of a certain Curse Spirit on it to fight, but it also failed;
Pokémon…Pokémon…
Xia Yujie's head was about to explode from thinking so much. He was now like a student in the final examination hall. He had done a very familiar question, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
To think divergently, you need a freer imagination...
At that moment, the words of Reigen Shintaka rang in Geto's ears.
The psychological counseling guru (questionable) once said to him in a conversation: "When you feel that you have reached a dead end, remember that it is not you who have reached the limit, but your emotions."
"Is there any essential difference between the two?" asked Geto Suguru.
Reigen Shintaka: "...If you insist on explaining, it's really hard to say."
"For example, according to you sorcerers, utilizing negative emotions can increase the level of cursed energy. Is that correct?"
Geto Summer Oil nodded.
Reigen: "There's definitely a saying: You can't become powerful simply by indulging in negative emotions. On the contrary, too much negative emotion will make it increasingly difficult to control your magical power—that's the limit of emotion."
"However, if you can remain rational and calm enough in the face of negative emotions and become a sorcerer who is not controlled by the emotions of his own choice, then that is your own strength." Geto Suguru heard Reigen Arata tell him this.
"Getsuyu-san, there's no need to set imaginary limits for yourself. You are free."
So, the free-spirited student Geto Suguru began to imagine freely.
First, he saw a boundless white space, with his parents and his young self standing in the center.
Then, as he grew older, he awakened to the art and from then on he was accompanied by cursed spirits in his vision.
"It hurts so much." It was the first time he used the spell clumsily. After swallowing the curse ball by mistake, he curled up in the corner and protested quietly.
But things were different later.
"Hey, Jay."
Gojo Satoru's clear voice rang out in the space. With this starting point, the following voices emerged like mushrooms after rain, breaking out of the ground in an instant.
"Xiaojie!"
"Geto, please lend me your homework so I can copy it. Don't tell Mr. Yega..."
"Suguru Jie, are you going home? Ah, I don't mean home, I mean high school."
"The explanation doesn't matter. It's not impossible to have the Higher Education Institute take charge. What do you think?"
*
The crow that was following Geto Suguru was left far behind. Since Geto Suguru had suppressed his own breath, for a long time afterwards, the screen could only show Shigeru Sonoda who was desperately searching for him.
The night quietly hung over the sky, and even Kanako stopped holding an umbrella. She put the folding umbrella back and began to concentrate on playing with Youyun.
At this moment, Geto Suguru himself appeared in front of Shigeru Sonoda.
There was no living creature around him, and there was only an empty Poké Ball in his hand.
Shigeru Sonoda was very happy to see this, thinking that he had finally given up struggling and was ready to surrender?
"Sorry to have kept you waiting," Geto smiled and said to everyone in the livestream, "I accidentally spent a little too much time on the preparations. Training Pokémon is truly hard work."
"It's been a long experience..." He said with some realization, not sure if he was talking about Pokémon or himself.
Sonoda Shigeru: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Issue a challenge!"
Shigesai Sonoda didn't want to be the kind of stupid villain who talked too much nonsense and was caught up by the opponent. He quickly threw out the Poké Ball and took out his best overall ability, "Crazy Cool Tyrant".
[It was detected that one party does not have a Pokémon, and the challenge failed. 】
"...Are you kidding me?" Sonoda Shigeru looked at Geto Suguru in front of him. "You clearly don't even have a single Pokémon, and you keep saying you're training?"
"It will be there soon." Xia Yujie couldn't help laughing, "How about you look behind you?"
From afar, countless monkeys gathered on the top of the mountain.
The trees were full of monkeys, jumping, climbing, and even sliding on the branches. Finally, they gathered here and sat on all the perches they could see, quietly waiting for something.
It was as if time had stopped at this moment.
"What? You want to rebel?" Sonoda Shigeru was unmoved. "Think of your back mountains and your jungle. If you dare to resist me, they will be razed to the ground!"
"Thank you all for coming. I promise you, I won't harm any monkeys to defeat the enemy before me," said Geto Suguru to the monkeys rushing in from all directions. "And... it must comply with the rules."
"Would you be willing to lend me your emotions temporarily?" Geto Suguru stretched out his hand.
"Your hometown is facing a grave crisis, and you must be feeling uneasy. Watching your friends suffer both physical and mental torture while being unable to resist, it must be very frustrating."
"Whether it's pain or hatred...all emotions related to the Bankei Cult and Sonoda Shigeru, please treat them all as part of your strength and convey them out." Suguru Geto shouted.
Geto Suguru: "Lend me all your strength!"
Driven by this sound, the monkeys looked at each other, and then raised their hands high to the sky.
White dots appeared one after another in their palms, and the surrounding power began to gather, forming a powerful energy field. The power in this energy field seemed to be attracted, and it continuously flowed towards the owner of the voice, Geto Suguru.
"Hiss... That's not right. What kind of energy is this?" The system was halfway through its explanation when it was stunned.
"It's a collection of emotions, almost all of which are negative. So when that power fell into Jie's hands, it was transformed into cursed energy," Gojo Satoru explained.
"Cursed power!? Wait, judging from the previous line, is Gon going to throw a huge Spirit Bomb!?" The system was shocked.
Kanako shook her head: "I'm afraid things are not as simple as we thought..."
A huge amount of energy formed a white sphere in the air. Geto Suguru raised his arm towards it, and soon, strands of purple lines from his palms were injected into the inside of the energy ball.
The purple lines pushed the white energy ball to reshape. Under constant squeezing and support, its appearance gradually changed into a monkey big enough to illuminate half the sky.
Technique: Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique.
As long as a thing is given a reasonable identity, then the use of cursed power also becomes reasonable. Geto Suguru summed up the experience from the case of Kanako becoming the new Monkey King, and integrated it to create this unprecedented Pokémon... Cursed Spirit!
"This is my battle partner. It is made up of the negative emotions of all the Pokémon in the jungle area behind the mountain. It is a Pokémon hatched by the Pokémon themselves." Geto Suguru said the extremely explosive lines with a serious face.
"This is the exciting combo between me and them!!!"
"Take this, Sonoda Shigeru, and apologize to the monkeys—I want to create a world where all monkeys can live freely!!!"
“Squeak!”
The giant cursed monkey screamed excitedly, danced towards Shigeru Sonoda, and then slapped the ground.
As his vision was gradually covered by the shadow of the hand, Shigeru Sonoda's pupils trembled and his face was filled with shock and fear.
【The crazy cool Tyrant fell! 】
【Training Home Tian Mao also fell! 】
[You have no Pokémon to battle.]
[Contestant number five from Team A, Geto Xiayou, succeeded in his challenge and became the champion.]
[Since Team B was completely defeated, Team A is declared the final winner! ]
