Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

The forty-second day in the Kanto region, cloudy.

"It's a nice day..."

Yu Hai stretched lazily. It was not that he didn't want to sleep in, but the mountains were too noisy. The chirping of insects and birds early in the morning kept him awake.

And the sounds of fighting last night only subsided after Nidoking passed away. One can only say that the King-class is worthy of being the King-class, and it is very deterrent.

Last night, he was afraid that the mosquito frog alone was not enough to keep watch, so he released the orb-thread spiders to release spider silk into the tunnel to warn people and wake him up if they stepped into the tunnel.

With the four Pokémon around him, Frog, Orb-Spinner, Gengar, and Darkrai, they were enough to withstand the first wave of attacks, allowing him to release other Pokémon. Fortunately, everything was safe last night.

He got up and packed his moisture-proof mat and sleeping bag. He had no intention of eating breakfast in the tunnel as the tunnel was too narrow, so he decided to leave the tunnel first.

After taking back the mosquito-repellent frog and the orb-web spider, he released the gull and prepared to go down the mountain to find a small river to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"Beili beili," when the toukai saw that Ukai was seated, the toukai flapped its wings and flew down the mountain. Looking down from the sky, it soon found a stream at the foot of Mt. Tsukimi.

Landing at the creek, the toucan began to wash up in the water. Yu Hai also released other elves, some to drink water and some to eat grass. Everyone was busy by the creek, and he also had to prepare breakfast.

Today's breakfast was simple. Fortunately, the elves' breakfast consisted of energy cubes. He took out the energy cubes and threw them into the elves' mouths one by one, and that was considered breakfast.

If it is not enough, go to the forest and pick some fruits yourself. After all, you have no training, and it is not good to eat too much. If you have training, you will naturally have more food.

He made a fire and boiled water to make his own breakfast. After breakfast, he had to hurry to Deep Gray City to get the last badge. Then he could go to the Quartz Conference and wait for the opening ceremony of the conference.

However, when he was making breakfast, a man in black floated in the stream, and was discovered by the swamp fish in the stream.

"Kuakakuka," the swamp fish dragged the man to the shore, and the cry attracted everyone to come and watch.

Yu Hai saw the elves gathered together and waved his hand to drive them away. Then he could see the man in black by the river. He had dark green hair.

"This? I saw this person the day before yesterday!" The moment Yu Hai saw this person, he remembered that they had fought against each other in the Hualan Gym the day before yesterday.

There was no way, the man's green hair was really impressive, and the other party's Sandshrew that was not afraid of water or ice and could break free from the ice also impressed him.

Judging from the performance of the Sandshovel, this person is at least a senior-level warrior. Why is he in the stream and drifting down from upstream?

"Fuck, ugh, my mouth is dirty," Yu Hai felt disgusted when he thought about how this man had been floating all the way and used stream water to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Fortunately, bottled water was used to cook the noodles, otherwise his stomach would be ruined and dirty!

He quickly rinsed his mouth with bottled water, then used the Poké Ball to retrieve the weak little guy before reaching out to feel if the man was breathing.

Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe—

Fortunately, he was still breathing, so it was easy to deal with. Yu Hai dragged him to the fire so that he would not get hypothermia. Then he took back the poison frogs and the other poison frogs, leaving only the mosquito frogs and the other elves in the open.

He wasn't sure who this person was, why this happened, and why he was here, but he had seen him the day before yesterday, so there was no need to disguise his true appearance. However, he had to be on guard, so he had to keep some preparations in mind...

He continued to cook and eat noodles until the other person slowly woke up, suddenly opened his eyes and saw him, quickly stood up and walked away, and quickly reached for the Poké Ball at his waist, only to find that it was empty.

"The Poké Ball is fine, come and sit, and eat while it's hot," Ukai had already unloaded the other person's Poké Ball and placed it next to the fire, along with a bowl of hot noodles.

He had already seen those Poké Balls. They were Sandslash from the day before yesterday, Rumblestone, Magnetron, Flittor, Scyther, and Swampert...

Six very common Pokémon, a very civilian configuration. The Pokémon that have the potential to become a superstar are only Sandslash, Magneto, and Scyther.

As for the remaining Forlitos and Swamp King, their potential has been exhausted and they only have the potential of a quasi-king.

And that Rhydon needs to evolve once more. These three Pokémon can become the King if they endure the time. The prerequisite is to endure the time, about seven or eight years, just like Falling Rock, just endure it slowly!

"Who are you?" The boy was very alert and puzzled by Yu Hai's familiarity.

"You just saw it the day before yesterday? Have you forgotten it so quickly?" Yu Hai continued to eat noodles. He understood this kind of stress response caused by lack of security. It was just like when he landed on a deserted island. He felt very insecure and only felt better after having the tadpoles.

"The day before yesterday?" The boy thought carefully and couldn't remember where he had seen Yu Hai.

"Hualan Gym, aren't you very confident?" Yu Hai smiled. Where was the other party's rebellious and conceited look from the day before yesterday? He really didn't know what the other party was pretending to be.

"Oh, I remember now, the substitute player of the Cerulean Gym," the boy looked at Crab and Poliwag, these two Pokémon were there the day before yesterday.

“Come and sit down, eat while it’s hot.” ​​Yu Hai saw that the other party was still alert, frowned, and then relaxed in an instant, and asked curiously: “Elf Hunter?”

"Uh," the boy became more nervous when he heard the name, but he would not eat food from strangers. He still felt a little embarrassed when Yu Hai pointed out his hidden identity in front of him.

“No bounty is on the table, right?” Yu Hai had already put down his bowl. Being an Elf Hunter was not a good profession, and its reputation was even worse than that of a bounty hunter. It was the same business as a poaching gang. In the eyes of the Alliance, they were like rats crossing the street, and everyone wanted to kill them.

According to the laws of the League, once you are labeled a Pokémon Hunter, you will be wanted, just like a rat crossing the street. This is not a light punishment like that of a bad trainer.

"No," the boy swallowed secretly and immediately shook his head to deny that he was wanted. Seeing that Yu Hai's eyes were becoming more and more unfriendly and the opponent's elves were surrounding him, he didn't have an elf yet and knew the consequences of lying.

beep-

Yu Hai would not believe the other party so easily. He took out his mobile phone and called the old drunkard, and asked the boy: "Name? ID number? If you lie, you will die miserably..."

"My name is Xiaoming, and my ID number is xxxx..."

"Old drunkard, help me check this person's name. Is there a wanted order? His name is Xiao Ming, and his ID number is..."

"You want to be a bounty hunter, brat? Why are you checking these?"

"Stop talking nonsense and check it out quickly," Yu Hai was too lazy to talk to the old drunkard, and he also reported Xiao Ming's birthplace, Guandu, to the old drunkard, asking him to check the wanted warrant in Guandu.

When he was on the phone, the air pressure at the scene was so low that Xiao Ming dared not move. It was not until a few minutes later that Yu Hai put down the phone and asked the elves to lift the siege that the atmosphere eased because the old drunkard said...

"This person is not on the wanted list..."

Yu Hai hung up the old drunkard's phone without giving him a chance to chat.

"Very good, you passed. Come and sit down and eat while it's hot," Yu Hai saw that the other party was still standing still, wondering what he was thinking. The other party was now at the mercy of others. What else could he do except eat the noodles obediently?

"My legs are numb, and I'm coughing, coughing..." Xiao Ming just opened his mouth when he fell to the grass, covering his mouth and coughing up blood.

"Internal injuries?" Upon seeing this, Ukai picked up the opponent's Poké Ball and released Sandslash and Swampert, letting these two Pokémon go and support the opponent's trainer.

"Thank you, thank you," Xiao Ming explained to Chuanshan King, who then helped him sit opposite the fire. After drinking a sip of warm water handed to him by Yu Hai, his pale face looked much better.

"I thought you only had one expression," Yu Hai picked up the noodles again and continued eating, teasing the other party.

"Hehe," Xiao Ming smiled helplessly, but the pain in his wound made him grimace.

"Eat quickly and then go see a doctor," Yu Hai didn't know how many times he had asked the other person to eat noodles.

And he really knew who the other party was. He was none other than the Shorts Boy who appeared in the first generation animation. He was considered to be a stronger Shorts Boy trainer among the Shorts Boys. He called himself Beast Master Xiao Ming and had won a hundred consecutive games.

"Hey," Xiao Ming said nothing and took a few bites of noodles. The reason why he was very wary of strangers was also related to his special profession, elf hunter...

As an elf hunter, he cannot trust anyone. Anyone could be a hunter. He is the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"How did it become like this? Aren't you very strong?"

"I am strong, but the enemy is stronger," how could Xiao Ming not hear the sarcasm in Yu Hai's words? After all, he was not like this when challenging the gym.

"How strong?"

"Two enemies, each of them can chase me and beat me," Xiao Ming smiled bitterly. He was chased all night yesterday and he jumped into the river to temporarily escape from the pursuit. He didn't know when they would catch up with him.

"What did you steal? Why do I have to chase you so hard?"

"Even if I didn't tell you, you should have known it," Xiao Ming looked at his backpack, which was placed together with the Poké Ball. He must have been checked by the other party. He immediately explained without hiding anything: "I caught an Ammonite in Dasha Valley, and it happened to be seen by two colleagues. They followed me all the way to here..."

"Ammonite? It's a rare ancient elf. Its black market price starts at at least 20 million. Who else should I chase after if not you?" Yu Hai didn't even look at the other party's backpack, but he understood when he heard the word Ammonite. After all, it was a rare ancient elf.

"Black market? You know about the black market too?" Xiao Ming wanted to say, you are not clean either, but he didn't dare to open his mouth. Even if Chuan Shanwang was by his side, he was not sure he could defeat him.

The opponent's giant crab had already proved the day before yesterday that it could defeat the Sandshrew, and only one claw was enough.

"Don't imagine. Even if I knew about the black market, I wouldn't trade in Pokémons," Yu Hai is not a Pokémon hunter. As for trading in Pokémons, he has only sold a wild slime.

But Pokémons like Mud, Beedrill, Magikarp, and Sharptooth do not have Pokémon rights in his eyes, and are not included in his list of no buying, no selling, and no killing.

After all, Uncle Magikarp can openly sell Magikarp to Kojiro, which means these Pokémon are not under the protection of the Alliance and can be bought and sold at will, so there is no need for him to tie his own hands.

"Okay," Xiao Ming didn't know what to say. As a grassroots civilian trainer, he felt it was tiring to work hard on his own. In order to obtain the resources to breed Pokémon, he could only embark on the path of no return as a Pokémon Hunter.

"It's better to avoid doing this kind of thing. If you are wanted by the alliance, your head will be moved just now," Yu Hai could only remind the other party like this and ask him why he did this.

I can only say that I watched the animation in my previous life and inexplicably developed a good impression of him. After all, as a boy in shorts, he was able to suppress the newly debuted Satoshi and Shamo, which shows how powerful he is, and he is also very good at cultivating Pokémon.

He was very optimistic about the other party. There was nothing to say if they hadn't met before, but now that they had met, he definitely couldn't let the other party continue.

Judging from the strength shown by the opponent in the animation, the fact that he did not appear in the final Quartz Conference and did not participate in the Quartz Conference shows that he must have died halfway, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to show up in the Quartz Conference.

The opponent has the potential to be a king, and his strength has reached the senior level. He is not afraid of water or ice. It is enough for the opponent to make it to the top 16 before the baby competition.

Even that idiot Xiaozhi, with a group of unevolved babies, was able to make it into the top sixteen. There is no reason why the other side shouldn't make it into the top sixteen.

After eliminating all the impossibilities, there is only one possibility left, that is, the other party died halfway on the way to collecting badges.

For example, if the opponent is found by the pursued enemy now, he will surely die. Not everyone has a Gengar and a Darkrai as trump cards to protect him, and can also play the role of a villain.

"I know, I know... But if I don't become an elf hunter, I won't have the funds to breed elves. I've reached my limit. It's difficult to go any further..."

"Well, you can also cheat other cheaters," Yu Hai himself started out this way, how could he not know how difficult it is.

Before meeting Darkrai, every step was like walking on a tightrope. After meeting Darkrai, things became much simpler. There was no enemy that could not be solved with one Dark Hole. If there was... then just use another Dark Hole.

But not everyone has the nightmare god Darkrai, and not everyone has a proficiency panel. Without the positive feedback of proficiency growth, you ask a trainer who has reached a bottleneck to persist for three, five, or ten years for an uncertain goal...

Who can persist? After all, humans are lazy creatures. A little bit of enthusiasm is a good example of how enthusiasm does not last long. So how would it feel if a trainer invested a lot of resources for ten consecutive years and still didn't see any results?

"Alas, there are risks in gang robbing gangs. I was chased like a dog," Xiao Ming sighed, expressing the bitterness and pain of many grassroots trainers.

"Compared to the Alliance Wanted Order, I feel like it's easier to just rob a gang of its accomplices..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Ming immediately understood what Yu Hai was doing. For elf hunters like them, the biggest enemy was the bounty hunters.

"Well? Nothing, I'll leave first," Xiao Ming put down his bowl, bowed and thanked Yu Hai for his rescue and breakfast, "Thank you for saving my life and your breakfast. I still have enemies, so I have to go. If I can survive and go to the Quartz Plateau to participate in the Quartz Conference, I will repay you..."

"Go? Where to go? We chased you all night, and you were so hard to find!"

"If it weren't for the fireworks here, it wouldn't be so easy to find you, Xiao Ming..."
