Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

"Everyone come here, I will tell you the reason for coming here," the foreman saw everyone gathered together and hurriedly called everyone over. He stood on the podium, ready to explain the purpose of inviting everyone over.

However, there were still people on Yu Hai's side who wanted to fight, but he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to fight anymore. It was already a surprise to meet Xiaozhi and Xiaomao here, so he was too lazy to fight with others.

He also didn't want to listen to the foreman's words. His purpose in coming here was to subdue the gophers, not to drive them away.

If he guessed correctly, the Pokémons of these trainers would be unwilling to come out to drive away the Diglett when they heard that the reservoir would destroy the homes of wild Pokémons, and the matter would end in a hasty manner.

He saw most of the trainers gathering over there, and he turned away, ignoring the foreman's shouts.

"That trainer, where are you going? That trainer..."

"Sorry, I won't take this job," Yu Hai waved his hand and followed the path discovered by Darkrai, preparing to go to the reservoir to check on the moles and see if he could subdue any moles with good potential.

"Strange? This guy is so strong, why doesn't he accept this mission?"

"Xiao Gang, why did Brother Hai leave? Don't you want the free hot spring anymore?"

"I don't know either. This person is from the Orange Islands and his behavior is very strange..."

"Yeah, I feel it's weird too. I really don't understand this trainer," Misty agreed.

"Strange? Is there something wrong here? That's why he doesn't accept this task. What is it?" Xiao Mao muttered to himself. He didn't think so before, but now it seems that this person is mysterious in every way and can see things that many people cannot see.

Seeing that Ukai was determined to leave, the foreman did not try to keep him. After all, there were still many trainers here, and it wouldn't matter if one of them was missing.

The foreman picked up the loudspeaker and announced the gopher disaster encountered by the reservoir project, and then asked everyone to drive away the gophers.

But no one could release their Pokémon. They all shrank into their Poké Balls and didn't want to fight. Then Diglett returned the Poké Balls to the trainers. Everyone was confused and didn't know what was going on.

"What's going on? You were able to release the elves to fight just now, why are you unwilling to fight now..."

"He must know why?" Xiao Gang thought of Yu Hai just now. The other party left very decisively, as if he had already known that this kind of thing would happen here, so he did not accept this task.

"Let's go and ask him," Xiaozhi suggested to ask why the elves were unwilling to fight.

"Okay, I want to know why too," Xiaoxia agreed, beginning to feel a little curious about the mysterious Ukai.

"It seems that there is no need for trainers here. I'll leave first, Xiaozhi," Xiaomao waved goodbye to Xiaozhi, got in the sports car and took his cheerleading girls away along the mountain road, without giving Xiaozhi a chance to say goodbye.

"Damn Xiao Mao," Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth in anger. This was the reason why he lost more than he won when he was with Xiao Mao. Even if he won, Xiao Mao still had such a proud look on his face, as if he had won, which made him very unhappy!

"Xiaozhi, release the Pidgeot to find out where he is?" Xiaogang patted Xiaozhi and asked Xiaozhi to send Pidgeot to look for Ukai who had just left.

At the same time, the three members of Team Rocket who were hiding in the bushes poked their heads out and saw Xiaozhi leaving, and started chatting in whispers.

"That boy was so powerful. If we catch such a powerful elf and give it to Boss Sakaki, he will reward us..."

"Meow, Musashi, we can't beat such a powerful trainer, meow..."

"Yeah, Meowth is right. We can't beat such a powerful trainer. How can we steal his Pokémon..."

"The little brat has gone to look for him. Let's go and have a look. Maybe we can steal the elf..."

"Meow, Musashi, don't provoke him, Meow Meow is scared," Meow Meow sniffed. It smelled danger from the human.

"Stop talking nonsense, the little brat is almost gone..."

……

On Yu Hai's side, in the valley of the reservoir, we saw many gophers planting trees. These gophers divided the work and cooperated with each other. Three gophers loosened the soil, two gophers planted the saplings in a group, and the water elves watered the trees with water guns. It was a beautiful and harmonious scene.

Then he took the mosquito-repellent frog to talk to the three moles, preparing to take one of the little guys away, hoping that the three moles here would agree.

"Diglett, I'm a trainer passing by. Can I capture a Diglett?"

"Da na da na da na," the three moles shook their heads to indicate that they could not do so, and quickly protected the mole behind them.

"San Diglett, I just want to tame a little Diglett. If you can't, I will let Gyarados destroy this place," Yu Hai smiled. He was not afraid that San Diglett would not compromise. Sometimes, talking nicely won't make anything go smoothly, and some extraordinary measures are needed.

In fact, not all Pokémon don’t want to fight, it’s just whether the trainer wants to force the Pokémon. I believe that between the trainer and the wild Pokémon who live together day and night, the trainer’s Pokémon knows how to choose.

"Yo Bo," the mosquito frog flexed its muscles. It didn't care about the environment here. Yu Hai was its home. If the three ground mice knew what was happening, it would let them take a little ground mouse away. If the three ground mice refused to obey, it would not be polite.

“Da da da,” the three Diglett saw the Poliwag’s fist, then looked at the Diglett around him and the saplings he had worked so hard on. He couldn’t bear to see them destroyed, so he finally called out to everyone, “Da da da, who wants to go with the human trainer…”

"Three Digletts, just go about your business as usual. I will make the choice myself," Ukai listened to Darkrai's translation and quickly stopped the three Digletts from doing anything. He took out the Poké Ball and caught the Digletts one by one.

These Digletts had been warned by Diglett that one of their companions would leave with the trainer, so they did not resist but instead went about their own business.

When Yu Hai captures a gopher with low potential, he will release it and let it continue to plant trees.

The three moles who saw this scene secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party did not lie to the mole and really just wanted to subdue a mole. In this case, it felt relieved.

There was no way. The oppressive feeling of that Poliwag was too strong. If a fight broke out, they would definitely get hurt. Moreover, the trainer did not stop them from destroying the reservoir project. He just wanted to subdue his own kind.

It has so many gophers, so it doesn't matter if the other party captures just one gopher.

Just like that, after intimidation, Ukai got the chance to capture Diglett. He looked at hundreds of Digletts along the way, and all of them were low-potential Digletts. Until Xiaozhi and the other two came, he had not captured a single good Diglett.

"What is he doing?" Xiaozhi saw Yu Hai staring at the mole and asked his two friends around him curiously.

"I'm not sure, it looks like he's trying to capture Diglett?" Xiaogang is a trainer specializing in Ground and Rock-type Pokémon, and he figured out what Ukai was doing.

"But why does he look at each one of them? Can't he just tame one at random?" Xiaoxia was also a little confused. Why did he have to observe each one carefully before taming them?

"Maybe he is observing the development of the hamsters. I didn't expect he is a breeder." Xiaogang and the others were far away from Yu Hai and couldn't see clearly what Yu Hai was doing. They could only guess Yu Hai's purpose based on their limited knowledge.

"Let's go and take a look," Xiaozhi suggested again, and went down to the valley to take a look.

But as soon as they walked down the valley, they noticed that the gophers in the valley were planting trees, and they suddenly realized.

"I understand," Xiaogang muttered to himself, looking around at the saplings planted by the moles, and explained: "These moles are planting trees to protect the environment here. If the reservoir is built, this place will be flooded, causing the moles to lose their homes, and many elves will lose their homes..."

"That's why Diglett stopped the reservoir project and wouldn't allow the workers to build the reservoir here," Xiaoxia also understood. After all, she was a trainer who had been to school, so she understood it instantly after hearing this.

Xiaozhi also understood. He was also a trainer who loved Pokémon, so he could understand these simple principles.

At this time, Yu Hai also captured the hamster he wanted, a hamster with a potential of fifty-three. This was the only hamster with relatively high potential after he looked at thousands of hamsters.

After taming the mole, he prepared to leave the valley. After all, he had just said that he would only tame one, and he would only tame one.

Even though there were still hundreds of gophers he hadn't looked at, he was too lazy to do so. There would be plenty of opportunities to tame them in the future, so there was no need to catch one every time.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw Xiaozhi and the other two not far away. He didn't know what these three people were doing here, so he walked straight towards them.

"Xiaozhi, do you want to capture Diglett too?" Yu Hai shook the Poké Ball, and there was a Diglett inside.

"Brother Hai, it turns out you knew it a long time ago. No wonder you left early," Xiaozhi touched his nose. He didn't look at the Poké Ball, but was thinking about Yu Hai, who knew Pokémons so well.

"Know what?" Yu Hai was confused. What did he know?

"These tree-planting hamsters," Xiaozhi raised his finger and pointed at the hamsters, saying that the Pokémons might not come out to fight because of this.

“Well,” Yu Hai looked at the three people’s eyes that only now understood, and he also laughed dumbly, explaining: “My goal from the beginning to the end was to subdue the moles. I was also attracted by the moles. As for the reservoir, I have no say in it, so I can’t control it no matter how much I want to…”

"Ah? So that's how it is," Xiaozhi scratched his cheek awkwardly. His previous fantasy was instantly shattered. It turned out that he was overthinking. Yu Hai was not a visionary at all. Chunchun was just overthinking.

"That's what I told you!" Xiaoxia burst into laughter when she heard this explanation. It turned out that she had been overthinking it. It seemed that she had really overestimated Yu Hai.

In fact, among the three people, only Xiaogang understood the ways of the world and knew what Yu Hai was talking about: "That's right, the foreman is only the construction party, there are other people who want to build the reservoir, this matter cannot be stopped..."

"But, aren't the Pokémons unwilling to come out to fight?" Xiaozhi asked a very stupid question.

Xiaogang still explained the reason to Xiaozhi: "That's just our Pokémon, not all Pokémon are unwilling to come out..."

"What are you talking about? It's so hard to understand." Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi tilted their heads, completely unable to understand what Xiaogang and Yu Hai were saying.

“Hahaha, that’s right, you don’t understand.” Yu Hai smiled and asked Xiao Gang, “It’s almost time for dinner. We need to find a place to camp and have a couple of drinks later…”

"Drinking?" Xiao Gang looked up at Yu Hai and asked in confusion: "You are not yet an adult, how can you drink..."

"Hey, what's the matter? We're in the middle of nowhere here and no one's discovered us..." Yu Hai smiled and patted Xiao Gang's shoulder. This guy is a good cook, so his dinner is settled.

"What is wine, Xiaoxia?" Xiaozhi saw that Yu Hai and Xiaogang were chatting happily, so he covered his mouth with his hand and whispered to Xiaoxia beside him.

"Wine is wine, you can't drink it," Xiaoxia knew what wine was, but she had never drunk it, only saw her sisters drink it.

Afterwards, the four of them found a small river to camp. They set up their tents and gave dinner to Xiaogang. They went to pick up some dry firewood, tree fruits, and wild mushrooms to make soup...

Soon night fell and dinner was ready. Even the food for the elves was ready. The four of them sat at the dining table and started eating dinner.

"So you are going to Qianhong City too," Xiaogang was just chatting with Yu Hai. He didn't expect that they were going the same way and could go to Qianhong City together.

But Ukai rejected this invitation. He didn't want to go with Xiaozhi and the other two. The three members of Team Rocket who followed him around were very annoying and he didn't want to be harassed.

"Xiaogang, come here, have half a cup to get tipsy first," Yu Hai took out some good wine and poured it for Xiaogang. These were the good wines collected in the young man's room, and they must be very valuable. He tasted it very good.

"Okay, thank you," Xiaogang took the wine glass, clinked it with Yu Hai, and drank half of it in one gulp.

After drinking half the glass, Xiaogang's glass was filled again, and his dark cheeks were already a little red.

After all, Xiaogang is alone at home taking care of several younger brothers and sisters, so he doesn't have time to drink. This is probably his first time drinking. How can he compare with Yu Hai, the drunkard who has loved wine in his past and present life.

"Haha, this wine is good," Xiaogang held the wine glass and chatted with Yu Haibian while drinking. He drank another glass and started to get drunk.

"It seems that Brother Gang has drunk a lot of good wine. This wine is my treasured collection," Yu Hai smiled, his face a little red.

"Oh, that's not the case," Xiaogang had never drunk good wine and didn't have time to drink, so of course he couldn't admit it and could only hold it together.

"Hey, Xiaoxia, I want to try it too," Xiaozhi saw that Xiaogang and Yu Hai were getting happier and happier as they drank, and he also became eager to try it.

"Go away, go ask yourself," Xiaoxia would not indulge Xiaozhi, she would not drink, her sisters would often get drunk and crazy.

"Brother Hai, I want to drink too," Xiaozhi came over with a glass of wine.

"This?" Yu Hai looked at Xiao Gang awkwardly. He and Xiao Gang were both fifteen or sixteen years old. Xiao Gang might be one or two years older than him. Drinking was a small problem, but Xiao Zhi, a ten-year-old baby, was too...

"Xiaozhi, if you want to drink, just tell me earlier," Xiaogang got excited, put his arm around Xiaozhi's neck, picked up the glass and poured some white wine for Xiaozhi.

"It turns out the wine is white," Xiaozhi saw the color of the wine and smelled it. It was a pungent smell of alcohol, but he had never been exposed to it before.

Then, Xiaozhi put the wine glass to his lips and took a sip, and suddenly he coughed violently: "Cough cough cough, cough cough cough, so spicy, so hard to drink..."

"Hahaha," Xiaogang couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiaozhi coughing, and then he clinked glasses with Yu Hai, and the two chatted and drank.

It was late at night when Xiaogang fell unconscious on the table. The two of them hadn't even finished a bottle of wine when Xiaogang passed out.

"Xiaozhi, help Xiaogang to rest," Yu Hai was not drunk yet, less than half a bottle, so he couldn't hold him down.

"This? You're not drunk," Xiaozhi also understood that drinking can make you drunk.

"Of course not," Ukai was a little tipsy, but he had no problem standing up on his own, and he could find his tent and go back to sleep.

But instead of going to sleep, he went to the woods to urinate, and happened to run into the sneaky Team Rocket trio.

"What should we do? Meow," Meow Meow saw Yu Hai entering the bushes and would discover them.

"What else can I do? He's drunk. I'll take this opportunity to knock him out and steal his elf," Musashi rolled up his sleeves, picked up a wooden stick, and prepared to do something big.

"Okay, okay, let's hurry up," Kojiro waved his hand and followed Musashi and Meowth to sneak over.

But the three of them didn't realize that a dark shadow had already been staring at them. When they turned around, a dark hole was thrown directly on their heads. After forcibly hypnotizing the three of them, Darkrai returned to Ukai's shadow.

"How do you know they are in the forest?" Darkrai asked Ukai curiously. It didn't notice these three people.

"I don't know either. I just asked you to take a look. I didn't expect there was someone in the bushes," Yu Hai smiled helplessly, looked at the three members of Team Rocket who were sleeping soundly, and staggered back to the camp.

He slowly walked into his tent, lay down in the tent, pulled up the blanket and covered himself, and told Darkrai: "Don't worry about them. If they wake up, hypnotize them once. Don't disturb our sleep..."

"I'll keep an eye on them," Darkrai nodded silently. They were just two ordinary people and a talking Meowth. They had no fighting power at all, so it was easy to keep an eye on them.

The campsite fell into silence. Brock was snoring, Misty and Satoshi also went to sleep after cleaning up the dishes, and Ukai also fell into a deep sleep.

The three members of Team Rocket also fell into a deep sleep, with the sky as their blanket and the ground as their bed. Tonight was another peaceful night...
