Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 755, Promise and Future

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

In the early morning, the sky was covered with heavy clouds, like a gray curtain. Ukai and other contestants were about to say goodbye to Citrus Island, and he was preparing to return to Xia Gan Gym.

In the athletes' village, trainers were bidding farewell to their friends, and a faint sense of sadness hung in the air.

Yu Hai was no exception. He stood in the crowd, his eyes scanning the familiar faces.

"Brother Hai, it's time for us to leave." Hao Er and Xiao Shun came forward to say goodbye, their eyes full of reluctance, especially Xiao Shun.

Koji said he would go back and work harder in order to achieve a better ranking in the next competition.

Xiao Shun nodded silently, his eyes flashing with anticipation for the future.

However, when Koji said goodbye, his eyes always unconsciously drifted towards Nancy who was not far away, and his eyes hid the shyness and admiration of a young boy.

Koji's mother was standing next to Nancy's father. The two were talking happily with faint smiles on their faces.

After saying a few more words in a hurry, Koji ran to say goodbye to the goddess Nancy.

In order to carry out the undercover mission, Nancy did not show indifference to Koji, but instead showed the shyness of a girl who is not good at speaking. Koji has been regarded as her prey, while Nancy keeps a distance from others.

Only Yu Hai and Xiao Shun were left. Yu Hai talked to Xiao Shun with a smile and handed Xiao Shun a notebook and a pen.

The notebook and the pen themselves are not important. What is important is the message on the notebook. The way they convey information is bold and direct.

"What?" Xiao Shun's eyes widened when he saw the message on the notebook. His hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he almost couldn't control his shock.

It was written on the notebook: "Nancy is an undercover agent of Team Rocket."

Yu Hai left a message saying that Xiao Shun should just know about this matter himself, and reminded him to be careful, not to show it, and not to remind Koji.

After all, Koji was happily surrounding Nancy, and both parents were probably happy with this and tacitly approved of the friendship between the two children.

As to whether Nancy's father knew that Nancy was an undercover agent of Team Rocket, it is difficult to judge.

This matter may involve the betrayal of the Liugan Gym and the infiltration of Team Rocket. No matter what the truth is, Xiaoshun cannot participate in it.

Xiao Shun’s primary goal now is to improve his strength. If an investigator from the alliance finds him, Yu Hai also reminds Xiao Shun in the notebook to follow all arrangements.

"Remember, don't do anything dangerous. Even if you just slack off, the Alliance won't blame you..."

After all, Xiaoshun is just a teenage trainer. Would the League have the nerve to use a child to survive in the cracks?

After seeing the last prompt, Xiaoshun wrote down the responses he received, handed the notebook back to Ukai, and chatted with him for a few more words before bidding farewell to Ukai and staying with Koji.

Yu Hai saw the reply left by Xiao Shun, closed the notebook and put it in his backpack, secretly reminding Xiao Shun that it was completed.

After saying goodbye to Xiaoshun and Koji, another familiar figure walked towards Yukai.

The visitor was Ayi, who was also a gym trainer, and he was accompanied by his cute and playful sister Mary.

"Ahai, I look forward to our next battle. By then we should both have become top trainers!" Ayi said as he stretched out his broad palm and held Yu Hai's hand tightly, with a confident smile on his face, which was filled with infinite longing for the future.

As a trainer who was also in the top eight, Yi had no arrogance or contempt. Although he was ahead of Yu Hai in the competition ranking, he knew very well that Yu Hai's strength should not be underestimated.

He understood that there was still a certain gap between himself and Yu Hai. If he wanted to catch up with Yu Hai, he would have to work twice as hard in the future. After all, most of his king-level elves were borrowed.

Talking about the next plan, Ayi said with a determined look and great interest: "Next, I plan to go to a farther place to have a look. While striving for the title of King of Heaven, I also want to appreciate the unique charm of the gorgeous competition and expand my horizons."

"Me too, I look forward to that day coming soon!" Yu Hai responded with a smile, slowly letting go of Ayi's hand, his eyes following Ayi's departing back until he and Mary's figures gradually disappeared in the crowd.

Before Yu Hai could come back to his senses from his thoughts, another person came to him.

The person who came was Xiao Dan. Xiao Dan looked calm and had an open-minded smile on her face. She spoke slowly: "Ah Hai, I look forward to meeting you in the battle for the king of heaven."

Xiao Dan's strength is among the best among everyone. He knows that as long as he doesn't fall behind, he will definitely have a place on the throne of the Four Heavenly Kings.

But he also understood that once he stopped making progress and stood still, it would only be a matter of time before he was surpassed by those who came after him.

"Master Xiaodan, see you in the battle with the Heavenly King!" Yu Hai said goodbye to Xiaodan with a polite smile on his face.

They are all trainers of the four major gyms and strong contenders for the title of the Four Heavenly Kings. They regard each other as a strong opponent.

Looking at Xiao Dan's departing back, he fell into deep thought. Although Ayi was also very strong, he did not bring him too much pressure.

Xiao Dan, who is a little older, always exudes a calmness that allows him to remain calm and rational in battle and make the most correct judgments.

Yu Hai knows very well that the future battle for the king of heaven will be full of experts and the competition will be extremely fierce. Every opponent has unique advantages and should not be underestimated.

If you want to stand out among many strong people and ascend to the throne of the king, your time is very tight.

……

Seeing that there was no one around Yu Hai for the time being, Xiao Ying and the two little fat kids hurried over, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Brother Hai, I'm going back to Hasa Island. Do you want to go back?" Xiaoying looked up, her eyes full of anticipation. She had been looking forward to traveling with Yu Hai for a long time.

"Going back?" Yu Hai raised his head slightly, his eyes became distant, and he was lost in memories. "I haven't seen the old dean and your grandfather for a long time. I don't know how they are doing now."

The past of Hasa Island emerged in his mind one by one. Those days seemed like things that happened a long time ago. Perhaps it was because he had experienced too many things that made the time seem particularly long.

“I still have to prepare for the King of Kings competition, I’ll go back when I have time…” Yu Hai gave a slightly apologetic smile, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Okay." When Xiaoying heard that Yu Hai was not going back, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by deep frustration. He had been looking forward to returning to Hasa Island with Brother Hai.

"Little Fatty, why are you here?" Yu Hai turned his gaze to the two little fat boys, first looking at Xiaoying's childhood friend, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

"Brother Hai, I'm here to play." The little fat boy chuckled, scratched his head in a naive manner, and a somewhat shy expression appeared on his face.

Thinking back to how his parents disliked Xiaoying, an orphan, and now that they asked him to stay close to Xiaoying, he felt a surge of emotion. He really couldn't understand what adults were thinking.

However, he was still very happy to be able to play with Xiaoying.

"And you, they went back first?" Yu Hai turned his gaze to the little fat man who made money from krypton gold. He knew that this family was trying hard to get close to Xiaoying, so he arranged for the younger generation of the family to come over.

He was no longer surprised by the social customs among families, and he did not take the unpleasant experiences of the past to heart.

Xiaoying had told him before that the family of the krypton gold fat man helped Xiaoying evolve the electric monster, and behind this was also an exchange of favors and resources.

"They went back last night. There are a lot of things going on at home, and big brother needs to go back to deal with them." When the Krypton Gold Fatty heard Yu Hai's question, his heart skipped a beat. He was so scared that his body trembled slightly, and his voice trembled unconsciously.

He didn't dare to look up and look Yu Hai in the eye. After all, this was a powerful figure who defeated his elder brother. Moreover, he had offended him so arrogantly before, so his heart was inevitably filled with fear.

"Haha, don't be afraid. Since you are Xiaoying's friend, just call me big brother like Xiaoying does." Yu Hai laughed heartily, trying to use laughter to dispel the tense atmosphere in the air.

"Okay, Brother Hai." When the krypton gold fat man heard Yu Hai say this, he felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief. His body, which was originally as tense as a rock, slowly relaxed.

“Brother Hai, I will also prepare for the King of Kings competition with Teacher Xiba next. If I meet you, I will not hold back.” Xiaoying suddenly raised her hand and clenched it into a fist, with a firm light flashing in her eyes, as if declaring her determination to Yu Hai.

He has always regarded Brother Hai in front of him as his goal to catch up with, and this belief has never wavered.

"Haha, okay, if there is any activity, I will call you." Yu Hai said with a smile, deliberately emphasizing the word "activity".

The word "activity" was a code word between them, and it was not a problem for them at all. It was not the first time for them to do illegal work, and they had already known each other for a long time.

"Okay," Xiaoying immediately understood what he meant when she heard the word "activity", and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

In the past, when Brother Hai was not around, he always worked on his own. This time, he was looking forward to what the activity Brother Hai would mention would be.

Watching Xiaoying leave, Yu Hai looked at his back and thought to himself.

He felt that it was time to introduce Xiaoying to the Spider team so that everyone could get to know each other, to avoid accidentally hurting their own people in future operations.

……

"Ahai, where are you going to travel next?"

Ukai turned around when he heard the familiar voice, and saw Shingo standing beside him, smiling and inquiring. The giant mantis followed behind Shingo quietly, its red shell gleaming with a cold metallic luster in the sun, guarding silently.

"It's Shingo," Ukai smiled, looking towards the gate of the Athletes Village, as if looking at an unknown journey. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I haven't decided yet, maybe I'll go to the Hoenn region to have a look..."

When he said this, his tone was relaxed and casual, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get Shingo to join him.

There is no doubt about Shingo's strength and potential, and it would be a great help if he could be recruited into his Spider team.

As for being forced to take action?

This thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly rejected it.

They are not villains, and using such means will only backfire.

Instead of forcing it, it is better to wait for the right time. It will not be too late to lend a helping hand when Shingo encounters difficulties.

After all, true trust and cooperation are never gained through coercion.

"Hoenn region?" Shingo repeated in a low voice, his eyes fell on his own giant mantis, his expression somewhat complicated. His fingers gently stroked the giant mantis's shell, comforting his partner who fought side by side.

In this competition, they failed to even enter the top 16 and lost to Yu Hai. This failure made him realize that the world was much wider than he had imagined, and that there were many strong people. His previous self-confidence was just the arrogance of a frog in a well.

He once thought he was at the top, but now it seems that was just the starting point.

He was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Yu Hai, with a hint of determination and expectation in his eyes, which was also a vision for the future.

"The Hoenn region... sounds great," Shingo said slowly, with a hint of yearning in his voice, "Perhaps I should go there and take a look."

Hearing this, Yu Hai's mouth corners slightly raised, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes. He knew that Shingo's heart had begun to waver, and this was the opportunity he had been waiting for. Without going through the ups and downs, how could he encounter difficulties?
