Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

The thirty-third day back in the Orange Islands was cloudy.

Today is the sixth round of knockouts, the eight-to-four knockout round, followed by the four-to-two semi-finals and the two-to-one finals.

Unfortunately, Ukai could only stop here, as he knew yesterday that his opponent today was Yuji.

Although he would stop here, he would not give up going to the Citrus Sports Field. After having breakfast with Dunmei, he still had to go there.

This time, Dunmei wanted to go with him, and Yu Hai did not refuse Dunmei. Today's match might not take place, so it would be fine to just go and watch the match.

Today is the quarter-finals match, and there are only four games in the whole day. Yu Hai and Atsumi did not go to the Pokémon Center. Atsumi was afraid to go to the Pokémon Center, but she couldn't come out with them.

Arriving at the Citrus Sports Field, the game had already started. Yu Hai and Yuji were in the third game, and Xiao Dan and Xiao Ying were in the first game...

Watching the match between the two, Yu Hai and Dun Mei stood on the balcony of the lounge and saw that the elves sent by Xiaoying were all non-king level below the king level.

Even without a superstar-level elf, Xiaoying has been able to reach this point, which shows that the organizers have given Xiaoying a lot of green lights, but this is already the limit.

Without a king-level elf, it becomes very difficult to advance. He himself does not have much green light. Up to now, he has encountered more than one king-level elf, which is already his limit.

Continuing to watch Xiaoying's game, I saw that Xiaoying sent out powerful Pokémon such as Lucario, Electabuzz, Poliwag, and Infernape to fight with Xiaodan to the end.

Until the last game, Xiaodan threw out a king-level elf, and Xiaoying's only two remaining elves were defeated without surprise, and finally stopped in the top eight.

"Congratulations to Xiaodan for advancing again. Xiaoying, don't be discouraged. The Orange Alliance will still be there next year and will always be open to you..."

As Xiao Dan and Xiao Ying left the stage amid cheers, the second round of the elimination round began. The contestants were...

"Now entering from the contestant channel are Super Queen Nancy and Ghost Queen Xiaoqian..."

"Super Queen Nancy, Super Queen Nancy, Nancy..."

"Ghost Queen Xiaoqian, Ghost Queen Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian..."

"Tsk, both are beautiful girls, very popular," Yu Hai saw the two girls appear, each with their own style, and both were crowned as queens. These old perverts are really...

"Yu Hai, what are you looking at?" Dunmei saw Yu Hai staring at the two women below with relish, with a smile on his face from time to time, and she immediately became jealous.

"Watching the game?" Yu Hai looked at Dun Mei in surprise, and seeing the half-smile on Dun Mei's face, he immediately realized that it was a life-threatening question, and was speechless for a moment.

"Really?" Dunmei didn't believe it. You know, the two girls below were both extremely cute girls with long black hair. She found that Yu Hai liked beautiful girls very much. How could he not look at beautiful girls but go to watch the game? Could it be that the screams and howls in the audience were fake?

"Of course it's true," Ukai's mouth twitched, staring into Atsumi's eyes without giving in, otherwise people would think he was guilty.

"Okay, I believe you," Dunmei stretched out her hand and pinched Yu Hai's arm, saying "I believe" with a smile on her face, but the strength in her hand did not decrease at all, which did not look like she believed.

"Tsk, you just say it but you don't accept it in your heart," Yu Hai complained helplessly. He understood women's hearts too well. She didn't say a word when being pinched, and even shouted with a smile, "Look, the game has begun. This is a showdown between superpowers and ghosts..."

During the match between Nancy and Xiaoqian, Yu Hai rubbed his pinched arm and saw the surging superpowers, the collision with ghost energy, and the battle between the song of destruction and the silent superpowers.

Nancy has obviously studied Xiaoqian's fighting style. In fact, Nancy's use of telepathy to command the elves can restrain Xiaoqian's Song of Destruction.

As long as he didn't listen to the voice and used telepathy to command the battle, the elves could still receive the battle instructions. This was a natural counter to Xiao Qian's Song of Destruction, leaving Xiao Qian's team of elves who could use the Song of Destruction with nowhere to display their skills...

The final battle was also no surprise. Xiaoqian was defeated in the end because her Song of Destruction routine failed and Nancy had a king-level psychic Pokémon.

"It's my turn to enter," Yu Hai saw Xiao Qian taking back the defeated Pokémon. He wanted to ask Xiao Qian something, so he left the lounge directly, intending to stop Xiao Qian in the player channel.

"Ahai, wait for me," seeing Yu Hai walking so anxiously, Atsumi couldn't help but quickly follow him. Could it be that Yu Hai was going to meet the woman downstairs?

In the contestant channel, Yu Hai saw Xiao Qian who failed to advance, and walked up to greet her, "What are you doing? Are you going back?"

"There's no point in staying here since I failed to advance," Xiao Qian twirled her hair around her ears with her fingers. Seeing Yu Hai taking the initiative to talk to her, she felt secretly happy.

But when she saw Dunmei following closely behind, the smile that had just appeared on her face instantly turned cold again. She hated scumbag men the most, who were eating from the bowl and still looking at the pot.

That's what grandma did back then. She thought Professor Oak had someone else. Who would have thought it was true? Grandma's feeling was right, otherwise how would she have had grandchildren like Shigeki and Nanami?

"That?" Yu Hai heard footsteps behind him. At this time, he really didn't know how to start. If he didn't say it, Dunmei would say that she was hiding it from him. He was really confused.

But since it was about Darkrai, Xiao Qian was about to leave the Orange Islands. If he didn't ask now, he might not have another chance in the future. He could only bite the bullet and ask, "I want to ask you something. When you and your grandmother were exploring the ruins near Pallet Town, did anything strange happen? Or did you catch any strange elves?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Qian saw that Yu Hai was hesitant to talk at first, and the coldness on her face became less serious. Maybe there was really something going on, otherwise he wouldn't have risked being caught cheating by approaching her.

After hearing Yu Hai's purpose, she was also stunned. She didn't expect Yu Hai to ask about this matter. This matter seemed to have nothing to do with Yu Hai and was also a secret of the alliance.

"Why are you asking about this?"

"This matter is very important to me, just tell me whether you have it or not," Yu Hai heard the broadcast calling him to enter, but he remained unmoved. Nothing was more important than Darkrai.

"Yes," Xiao Qian saw that Yu Hai was so calm and didn't even care about the broadcast. It was obvious that this matter was more important than the competition, so she nodded slightly.

She also stole a glance at Dunmei behind Yu Hai and saw that Dunmei didn't look at her, but she must have heard the conversation between the two. It turned out that all women are the same. If you don't keep a close eye on them, you will feel uneasy.

“Can I ask what it is?” There was anticipation in Yu Hai’s eyes. He really wanted to know Darkrai’s whereabouts. His own speculations about the future were also the future. What he wanted to know now was whether it was the Alliance or Giratina that captured Darkrai.

"That was the second time we explored the ruins. When my grandma and I went there, the exploration team found a very powerful sleeping Pokémon. I didn't participate in the battle at the time, so I didn't know what Pokémon it was. My grandma only told me that if it weren't for Gengar's ability to mega-evolve, that Pokémon would have almost escaped..."

"I understand. Can you tell me how you felt at that time? Did you sense any aura?" Yu Hai was basically certain that the sleeping elf was Darkrai, but he still wanted to confirm it further.

"Aura? Does unknown count? Gengar told me it didn't feel good," Xiao Qian was outside the ruins at the time and could only feel the earth-shaking battle and nothing else. However, Gengar felt it and told her that he was a little scared.

Gengar, a ghost-type shadow Pokémon, actually felt fear. Isn't that a feeling of ominousness?

"I understand, thank you," Yu Hai stretched out his hand, and Xiao Qian also understood what he meant and stretched out her hand as well. The two hands were clasped together, and the girl's palm felt really good.

"Thank you for telling me this. I owe you a favor. This matter is very important to me. Thank you..."

"It's okay, it's just a small matter," Xiao Qian was surprised by Yu Hai's thanks. She didn't expect Yu Hai to be so serious. Maybe this matter was really important to Yu Hai, but she couldn't be happy at all.

Compared to a favor, she might want something else. She just glanced at the girl behind Yu Hai and reluctantly let go. This farewell might be forever...

"I have to go on stage. Sorry, I'll treat you to dinner later," Yu Hai smiled and walked past Xiao Qian towards the contestant passage.

As for where Darkrai is being held, you can just ask Xia Bo about this. Xiao Qian may not know. Only the older generation may know more.

He has been delayed in the player channel for a long time. If he does not go on the court, the referee may declare him to have forfeited, and then he will lose his place in the top eight.

"Okay," Xiao Qian agreed subconsciously, turned around and watched Yu Hai leave. She just stared at Yu Hai's back until cheers came from outside the passage, then she turned around and left reluctantly.

As for waiting for dinner?

Forget it, it will only add to the sadness. It is better to leave decisively so that there will be fewer thoughts...

Yu Hai has already arrived at the contestant podium, still with his arms folded and not saying a word. He is still immersed in the joy of obtaining clues about Darkrai and has no idea that Xiao Qian has quietly left.

Life is like this, filled with regrets all the time. This life is still considered good. You have to know that there were 30 million old popsicles in the previous life, and he was one of them. It is good enough to have a wife in this life, and he is not picky about the conditions.

"Contestant Ukai has finally entered the arena. Next up is a wonderful duel between Contestant Ukai and Contestant Yuji. I wonder what kind of exciting battle these two top trainers can bring to everyone? Please wait and see..."

"Round 6 of the knockout round, a six-on-six all-player battle on a grass field. During the match, if three Pokémons on either side lose their ability to fight, there will be a five-minute break. Both players, please get ready, release your Pokémons together, and attack together..."

"Go, Ditto..."

"Yuji still uses his own fighting style. No matter who he faces, he likes to use Ditto in the first battle. Ukai chooses... Eh? Where is Ukai's Pokémon? Why didn't Ukai release a battle Pokémon? What's going on..."

"Contestant Yu Hai? You failed to release the battle spirit according to the competition rules. You will be given a yellow card warning..."

Facing the yellow card warning, Yu Hai still folded his arms, calmly looked up at the referee, Yuji, and the audience, slowly pulled out his arm, raised his right hand, and shouted to the referee: "Referee, I give up..."

"Hua, hua, hua? What?" The referee's exclamation sounded along with the exclamations from the audience.

You have to know that this is the knockout round of eight to four. Who would admit defeat in such a game? Doesn’t Yu Hai want to go further?

"This, this, this...what on earth is going on? Player Ukai is admitting defeat. Could it be that Player Ukai doesn't even have to play the game, and was scared off by Player Yuji?"

"What is this kid doing?" Yuji's mouth twitched. He didn't understand what conspiracy and tricks Yu Hai was playing. A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Yu Hai likes to use conspiracy tactics. Experienced trainers all know it. He really couldn't figure out what the routine was this time.

"Referee, I admit defeat, you announce it..."

"Contestant Yu Hai, are you sure?" The referee saw Yu Hai walking down from the stage and confirmed with Yu Hai again whether he really wanted to admit defeat.

After all, it is a match of eight to four. It is not easy for many people to get to this step. Some people don’t even have the chance to stand here. It is really unbelievable that Yu Hai had this opportunity but gave up.

"I'm sure," Yu Hai waved his hand and left without looking back. He knew very well what he was doing and what he wanted. The remaining Pokémon could not defeat Yuji, and it would be difficult to even defeat a Ditto.

He sent out non-king-level elves, and Ditto transformed into a king-level original form. It was unclear who was the fake one, and there was no way to win.

If that's the case, why bother to let the elves get hurt? He is not a child who acts on impulse. He is already in his thirties and has lived a second life. If there is anything that he can't let go of, he has already let it go.

"Ahai?" Seeing Yu Hai admit defeat, Dunmei already understood Yu Hai's actions.

She knew what kind of Pokémon Ukai had, and knew that the few remaining Batoids could not defeat big brother Yuji, so it was normal for her to admit defeat.

"What's wrong?" Yu Hai looked at Dunmei with a smile. If Dunmei didn't understand, was too superficial, didn't listen to the explanation, and was unwilling to communicate.

Even though the relationship has been confirmed, it is better for them to go their separate ways. He feels more relaxed being alone.

Being with someone who is unable to understand, is unwilling to communicate, and is unwilling to listen to explanations is a burden and will not bring happiness at all.

“Ahai, even if you admit defeat you can still be among the top eight. You’ve worked hard,” Atsumi reached out and held Yu Hai’s hand. She was not angry because Yu Hai admitted defeat without even competing.

This task should have been completed by her, but unfortunately she was not strong enough and all the pressure of the gym was on Yu Hai. How could she blame Yu Hai for giving up?

"Let's go. I want to treat Xiaoqian to a meal. You won't be angry, right?" Yu Hai smiled and took Dunmei away, talking about what happened just now.

"No, that matter is very important to you," Atsumi shook her head. She heard the entire conversation just now. Yu Hai did not hide anything from her, nor did she avoid her. Why else could she not trust Yu Hai?

Since Yu Hai is unwilling to say it, there must be something Yu Hai has in mind. She will wait until Yu Hai is willing to tell her.

"Don't you want to know why?" Yu Hai asked curiously again.

"Not curious," Dunmei shook her head, saying one thing and thinking another. It would be a lie to say she wasn't curious.

"Haha, who are you trying to fool?" Yu Hai smiled and pinched Dunmei's nose. The little girl's mind was too easy to guess, how could she hide it from him.

"No way," Dunmei seemed to be seen through, and immediately felt embarrassed, puffing up her cheeks and said angrily: "I can see that she likes you very much? Why?"

"Of course you are one of them, but... it's not impossible for three of us to be together. Can you accept that?" Yu Hai had a wicked smile on his face. If possible, he would like to hug two in one hand, which would make four.

"Hmph, you wish," Atsumi shook off Yu Hai's hand and left the contestant channel angrily, not wanting to bother with the naughty Yu Hai.

"Hahaha," Yu Hai's laughter in the contestant channel spread all the way outside the contestant channel. Passersby who heard it were very surprised. He could still laugh after admitting defeat. This guy is really strange. His mentality is quite good.

It's a pity that it's impossible to have two girls on both sides. Fortunately, his values ​​are monogamy. If an ancient person were to live in the modern world, he could only support them secretly with money. Even if it's not illegal, it would be bad for his reputation if it gets out. The master cares most about his reputation...
