Gray Trail of the Spirit

"It's been a long time since I've fished. But why do you have to catch ugly fish?" Yin Hui, who was sitting by the river, said with a breath.

"Yeah, he's obviously so ugly." Ruby said boredly, holding the fishing rod.

"Actually, I don't like ugly fish, but I heard that it is very rare, so -" the man in swimming trunks named Xiudian said.

"I haven't caught anything at this late hour. Is it really because I'm too greedy that I can't catch it?" Xiunori, the man in swimming trunks, said disappointedly.

"Don't be discouraged. I'm also looking for an elf right now. If I let it go, I'll definitely be disappointed." Ruby said, taking out Menas' album.

Yin Hui on the side raised his eyebrows, but he did not point out that Menas evolved from the ugly fish.

After all, Ruby is a bit extreme now. It is better to let him experience it by teaching him with words.

"Meenas? I have one too." Yin Hui said.

"Really! Brother Hui, let me take a look!" After hearing Yin Hui's words, Lubi looked at Yin Hui with gleaming eyes and threw away the fishing rod.

"It's not on me. It should be training in the sea with my other elves now." Yin Hui said.

"Exercise in the sea!? This is too wasteful." Ruby looked disappointed after hearing Yin Hui's words.

Yin Hui shrugged and said nothing.

At this time, there was a sound in the grass around the three people.

The three of them looked over together, until Mongoose Zhan came out and stood on a huge rock by the river.

On the other side of the river, a spoon snake also crawled out, raised its body high and stared at the meerkats.

"Get down quickly! It's Meerkat Slash and Rice Spoon Snake. It's really scary!" Hideori, the man in swimming trunks, said in a low voice.

Yin Hui didn't care, but found a comfortable seat to watch the show.

The two elves' muscles were tense and they stared at each other. The old enemy engraved in their genes was right in front of them. The two elves had nothing else in their eyes at this time.

A leaf fell between the two elves. The moment it fell into the water, the two elves moved at the same time.

Snake teeth and claws, tail flicks and bites.The two elves attacked each other crazily.

"Let's leave before they see us!" said Hidenori, the man in swimming trunks.

Immediately afterwards, Ruby and Hidenori, the man in swimming trunks, began to pack up the fishing rods.

Ruby's fishing rod didn't know what it hooked. Ruby pulled hard. After a while of force, the fishing rod was pulled out.

A tattered shoe flew out of the water, then hit Mongoose Zhan's head, and then hit the Spoon Snake's head again due to the rebound.

The scene fell silent for a moment.The entangled Mongoose Zhan and Rice Spoon Snake turned to look at the three of them at the same time.

"Little, little Gray Brother, there seems to be trouble." Ruby said stuttering.

"We seem to have disturbed their sacred duel." Hideori, the man in swimming trunks, also said fearfully.

Hearing no response, Ruby and the man in swimming trunks, Xiunori, turned to look in the direction of Silver Gray, only to find that Silver Gray had disappeared at some point.

Sitting cross-legged on the self-destructing magnet monster, looking at Ruby and Hidenori, the man in swimming trunks, who were being chased below, Silver Gray shook his head. He still had too little experience.

"Self-destructing magnet monster, barrier." Silver Gray said.

"Lurrulurrulu~" The two magnets of the self-destructing magnet began to rotate.

An energy barrier blocked the two elves, and the energy extended to form a hemispherical energy barrier that blocked Mongoose Zhan and Rice Spoon Snake.

"You two still have too little experience." The Magneto flew down and landed in front of Ruby and the man in swimming trunks, Hidenori.

"Brother Hui! When did you disappear?" Ruby asked when she saw Yin Hui reappearing.

"But we seem to be safe." Hidenori, the man in swimming trunks, breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, an elf suddenly jumped out of the river and fell into Ruby's arms.

A new mongoose hidden somewhere jumped out and grabbed Ruby.

But Mongoose Slash's attack didn't work. A translucent reflecting wall blocked Mongoose Slash's attack.

The reflecting wall that was attacked glowed with a strange color, and then emitted a white light that knocked the mongoose away.

"Reflective wall + double return? Can an ugly fish learn this?" Yin Hui looked at the ugly fish in Ruby's arms in surprise.

Sure enough, the protagonist's elves can't use common sense to judge?

"This is my Pokédex!" Ruby said, looking at the Ugly Fish in her arms and the Pokédex in its mouth.

"Sure enough! Ugly Fish definitely likes you! He even came here to give you the Elf Guide and even saved you!" Hidenori, the man in swimming trunks, pointed at Silver Gray and said.

Hearing the words of the man in swimming trunks, Hideori, Silver Ash rubbed his chin. If he remembered correctly, Ruby's ugly fish was female.

Is this the legendary woman chasing a man?

"So! You should understand what we are going to do! Take this ugly fish away!" Hidenori, the man in swimming trunks, approached Ruby and said.

"But, this kind of elf is not pretty at all..." Ruby was obviously unwilling.

"As a trainer, how can you live up to the elf who actively follows you!!!" Hideori, the man in swimming trunks, said in a voice that was almost like a roar.

"Okay, I'll just accept it." Lubi said weakly, who was intimidated by Xiudian's momentum.

Ruby reluctantly took the Ugly Fish into the Poké Ball, and the Ugly Fish was successfully subdued without any struggle.

"Lubi, remember to raise the ugly fish to be beautiful." Silver Gray said.

Ruby released his own elves, and the four elves showed two completely different states.

Ruby always felt like she was getting further and further away from the gorgeous coordination trainer.

"Someone come and save me, we are getting further and further away from the completion of the team that I expected!" Ruby said in despair as she looked at her elf covering her head with both hands.

"Is there a building over there? It's so late, let's rest here." Yin Hui said.

Ignoring the desperate Ruby, Silver Gray walked towards the building not far away.

The three arrived near the building, where a shabby plaque read Weather Research Institute.

"Weather Research Institute?" Looking at the name of the building, Yin Hui always felt that something was not right.

Just when Yin Hui was still struggling, a thunder sounded, and it started raining heavily in the sky.

The three of them quickly walked into the Weather Research Institute.

Ruby started grooming her elves again, but she ran into difficulties when facing the Swampert and Uglyfish.

Yin Hui's shadow stretched out and patted Yin Hui, who looked back.

I found a hyperkinetic ape on the nearby stairs with half of its body exposed and waving at Yin Hui.

"I'm going to take a walk and take a look." Yin Hui found an excuse to leave.

Following the animal to the rooftop of the Weather Research Institute, Yin Hui met an old acquaintance.

"Mr. Qianli, long time no see." Yin Hui greeted.

"Yinhui, thank you for saving my idiot son." Qianli replied.
