Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 930, Super Stone
Bang bang bang, thump thump thump—

boom--

In the quiet hotel corridor, a violent banging sound suddenly rang out. The door to Yu Hai's hotel room, which was resting, was about to fall off under the violent impact and finally could not withstand the force, so it was smashed from the outside.

Wood chips flew everywhere as a menacing figure, accompanied by a gust of wind, stormed into the room.

"You little brat, get out here! You've done this mess and you're just hiding, huh?" Lance roared, his face contorted with rage and his whole body trembling. The Dragonite beside him obeyed his command and unleashed a powerful attack that sent the door flying.

The door panel, like a cannonball, slammed heavily against the wall, piercing through it, and flew into the bustling street, eliciting gasps from passersby.

"Huh? Who? What's wrong?" Yu Hai was fast asleep when he was startled awake by the sudden loud noise and shouts. He was still sleepy and his head was a little fuzzy.

He groggily got out of bed, clutching his Umbreon. Through his sleepy eyes, he saw Lance standing angrily in front of the bed. The shocking scene made him laugh instantly, muttering, "This dream is so real. I must still be dreaming."

Then, he tilted his head to the side, lay down on the bed, and tried to continue sleeping.

However, a deafening roar exploded in his ears, instantly bringing him back to the harsh reality.

"Damn it, get up!" Du's eyes widened in anger, as if they were spitting fire. He reached out and grabbed Yu Hai, lifting him like a chick, and threw him out through the hole in the broken door.

puff-

Caught off guard, Yu Hai fell directly into the river outside the hotel. The icy water instantly enveloped him, leaving him soaked to the bone, his hair plastered to his face, looking utterly disheveled.

He struggled to swim to the shore, and the ordeal woke him up completely. He looked up at Du, who was standing angrily through the hole in the wall, and his body, which was submerged in water, suddenly shivered.

He felt a sudden panic and thought it was safer in the water, so he slowly sank into the river, leaving only his eyes above the surface, staring at the furious Du.

But Du wouldn't let him off easily. Du jumped out of the hole and landed steadily on the shore.

Du rushed to the riverbank, grabbed Yu Hai's ear, and roared so loudly that Yu Hai's ears rang. He yelled, "Hero, don't hide! You did a good deed, why are you hiding?"

"Hehe, Du Guanjun, you've mistaken me for someone else. I didn't do it. I was sleeping the whole time, didn't you see that too?" Yu Hai grinned awkwardly, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. Although he was panicking inside, he could only play dumb and refuse to admit it no matter what.

He thought to himself: Even if I did it, I can just bury my head in the sand and pretend I didn't do it, right? That makes sense...

"Alright, hurry up and change your clothes. They're waiting for you to have dinner." Du crossed his arms, his earlier aggressive aura having dissipated considerably. He'd already yelled and even hit him; things had come to this point, and his anger was gradually subsiding.

In fact, Yu Hai did the right thing. Not only that, this kid also helped the alliance recover a lot of losses. Anyway, the Heart Drops weren't produced by him. After reporting to the alliance, he gave those old guys at the top a headache.

The Alliance will definitely send people to guard it this time. If the Heart Drop is stolen again, the Alliance will really lose face. Wouldn't that make them a laughing stock? The Alliance can't afford to lose face like that.

In fact, Yu Hai not only did not make any mistakes, but also made great contributions. The alliance is already discussing urgently how to reward such a brave young man. Yu Hai's actions this time can be described as heroic and fearless.

When Du first heard about Yu Hai's actions, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. His jaw almost dropped, and he was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that someone would be so bold as to try to stop a tsunami. It was simply a suicidal act!

The reason he was angry just now wasn't because the kid had lied to him—in his opinion, lying wasn't a big deal—but because he was worried about how he would explain it to those old men if something happened to the kid.

Those old men had high hopes for Yu Hai and placed a huge bet on him. They had staked everything on Yu Hai; he absolutely could not die, he absolutely could not die here!

Even Yu Hai himself didn't know that there were people who cared about him so much, and these were the old men who often scolded him. For example, when he retrieved the ivory pig last time, he was severely scolded by Uncle Liu.

At that moment, Uncle Liu was furious on the other end of the phone, his voice so loud it hurt my ears. He launched into a tirade, criticizing his battle as too reckless, saying that you can't fight like that in an elf battle, it was simply reckless.

Yu Hai could only smile and obediently listen to Uncle Liu's lecture. Could he possibly curse back?
Even hanging up the phone isn't allowed; if you dare to do that, those old men will definitely give you a thorough dressing-down.

Thinking it over, he went ashore from the river and returned to the hotel. The hotel was bustling with people, and the walls were already being repaired.

Several workers were busy hammering and banging, raising a little dust. The hotel owner, all smiles, ran up to Du, almost bending over at a ninety-degree angle, and waved his hand with a smile: "Du Champion, let's just forget about this! Forget about this wall, I'll find someone to fix it myself."

Then, the hotel owner smiled and said, "Excuse me, could you please sign your autograph and take a picture with me? My child has wanted your autographed photo for a long time..."

In front of Wataru, a mere wall is nothing. Even if another door were added, the boss wouldn't think it's a big deal, and he wouldn't ask Wataru and Odomare's savior for compensation.

As long as we can get the champion's and hero's autographs and photos, and hang them in the most prominent place in the hotel lobby to attract more business to the hotel, it will all be worth it.

After changing his clothes, the hotel owner greeted Yu Hai with a smile and very kindly helped him change to a different room next door.

Yu Hai changed into a clean and tidy outfit. His plaid shirt collar was neat, and his black casual pants had straight lines. He looked much more energetic. He straightened his clothes and stood in front of Du Guanjun.

"Are you alright?" Du raised her chin slightly, her eyes filled with concern, and gently punched Yu Hai in the chest.

His punch, though seemingly forceful, was actually measured. Seeing that Yu Hai was perfectly steady and unharmed after such a violent fall, without even uttering a sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his previously furrowed brows relaxed a bit.

"No, I just flew out from here and got a few scrapes on my arm." Yu Hai pursed his lips helplessly, a slight downward curve at the corners of his mouth, and a look of mixed amusement on his face.

He secretly grumbled to himself, "He didn't get hurt while doing something as dangerous as stopping a tsunami, but he got injured by Wataru instead. Who can he complain to?"

Of course, he didn't really blame Du for his brutality. After all, if you think about it carefully, Du might have been so ruthless because he cared about him.

Otherwise, who would bother to care about the life or death of another stranger? He certainly wouldn't.

"Let's go, they've prepared a dinner party for you." Du gently raised his hand, gesturing for Yu Hai to follow him.

After Yu Hai quickly caught up, Du walked along, unable to resist giving him a word of advice: "You did well this time, commendable courage. But don't be so reckless next time. Although the League encourages trainers to act bravely, it should only be within their capabilities. Don't do things you're not sure you can handle..."

In the end, Du's tone carried a hint of elder's admonition; he was a few years older than Yu Hai, so it was indeed true.

"By the way, is there anything you want? I'll help you report your achievements this time. What would you like to exchange for your achievements?" Du turned to look at Yu Hai, his eyes asking.

"Du Champion, can you trade anything?" Yu Hai completely ignored Du's concerned words, still harboring resentment about being thrown out earlier.

If the other party hadn't beaten him up, he felt that Watari was actually a pretty good person, but now... well, never mind!
"What do you want?" Du asked, somewhat surprised. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Yu Hai up and down, wondering if this guy was going to ask for an exorbitant amount.
However, some things depend on whether he has the authority to obtain them. Otherwise, there's nothing he can do. The alliance isn't just a place where he can make decisions alone. The mobilization of many valuable resources requires the old guys in the alliance to convene a council to discuss and resolve the issue.

"I want to go to the Champion's Treasure Vault." Yu Hai's eyes lit up instantly, filled with longing. Just thinking about the dazzling array of treasures in the Champion's Treasure Vault made him unable to contain his excitement.

If he could get a few more stone tablet fragments from the Champion's Vault, he felt he would be one step closer to becoming a Champion Trainer.

"Didn't you only go in twice? I remember you chose two pebbles." Du tried hard to recall, the scene of seeing Yu Hai choosing items and recording them in the Champion's Vault flashing through his mind.

At that time, he clearly saw the words "shopping shelf" and "unknown stones" written on the record.

Those items were among the least valuable of the many rare treasures in the Champion's Treasury. It was unexpected that Yu Hai would choose these unknown stones. "You've been in, so you can't go back in? There are so many good things inside!" Yu Hai looked at Du expectantly, a longing smile playing on his lips. It was a yearning for the treasures in the Champion's Treasury; he genuinely wanted to go in again.

"Alright, I'll help you with the application. Whether your contribution this time will qualify you for the Champion's Treasure Vault, and what you can get, depends on those old guys' decision." Du sighed helplessly and reached into his pocket to take out a leather notebook.

He turned to a blank page, took out a pen, and carefully wrote down Yu Hai's request. He would report it as soon as he finished dealing with the matters at hand, since Yu Hai's performance this time was indeed very good and he had made a great contribution to the alliance.

If Yu Hai only wanted the items on the storage shelf, Du speculated that the old guys probably wouldn't stop him. After all, Yu Hai had helped the Alliance avoid immeasurable losses, saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and prevented countless economic losses.

With such merit, I believe everyone would agree to make some reasonable requests; no one would hold a child accountable for such things.

The two chatted as they walked along the winding path, the flowers and plants along the way emitting a pleasant fragrance, and a gentle breeze carrying their sweet scents.

If a tsunami were to engulf this water city, we might never see such a beautiful cityscape again.

Before long, they arrived at the secret garden of Odomare, which was surrounded by lush trees and flowers and appeared particularly quiet and mysterious.

The tall trees intertwine their branches and leaves, forming a natural green dome. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.

At the entrance to the garden, two pots of blooming flowers were placed, their petals delicate and vibrant, emitting a captivating fragrance.

"Welcome our hero, and Mr. Du, the meal is ready." Ben Gray was wearing work clothes; he had been directing the cleanup efforts during the day.

With a smile on his face, he stood at the garden gate to greet Yu Hai and Watari, extending his hand in an inviting gesture.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant deep in the garden, Ash, his two friends, and Canon were sitting at the table waiting. The table was set with exquisite tableware and several bouquets of flowers, making the whole restaurant warm and elegant.

"I am not the hero, they are the real heroes." Yu Hai tilted his head slightly, looking at the empty sky above the garden, where Latias and Latios were lurking and hiding.

A gentle smile appeared on his lips as he raised his hand and waved lightly at the two invisible elves, as if greeting an old friend.

"You can see them?" Bengrey's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the empty air.

He never expected that Yu Hai would be able to discover the traces of Latias and Latios. Doesn't this mean that Yu Hai sensed the presence of these two legendary Pokémon on his very first day here? This young man is no ordinary person!

“I can’t, but my spirit can.” Yu Hai smiled easily, a hint of pride in his smile.

He skillfully took out a Poké Ball and gently pressed it to release Slowking. Slowking slowly floated down beside him, and the big eyes on its head slowly lit up with blue light.

It possesses powerful telepathic abilities and can use its psychic powers to perceive everything around it. For two legendary Pokémon that exude a special aura like light bulbs, it's a piece of cake.

"Haha, these young people are really something these days. This way, please. Dinner is ready." Ben Gray snapped out of his reverie, a warm smile spreading across his face. He stepped forward, bowed slightly, and extended his hand in an inviting gesture, leading Yu Hai and Du towards the restaurant.

Just then, Latias and Latios, who had been invisible, slowly appeared, radiating a soft light that made the surrounding flowers, grass, and leaves even greener.

"Woo woo," Latias flapped its wings and gracefully approached Yu Hai, affectionately nuzzling its head against Yu Hai's cheek.

It keenly sensed the faint dark aura emanating from Yu Hai, but this did not affect its affection for him. It remained close to Yu Hai, as if expressing its love and gratitude to him.

"Woo woo," Latios also flew over quickly. It had long lost its arrogant appearance from before, and its eyes were filled with sincere gratitude to Yu Hai. It flew to Yu Hai and thanked him again.

“Ya-dong,” Slowking’s eyes lit up with blue light, and his psychic powers surged as he translated for Yu Hai, “Ah Hai, it says thank you for saving Odomarra…”

Slowking's voice rang out clearly and accurately in everyone's minds, which surprised Lance slightly. There are quite a few Pokémon in the League that can communicate telepathically, and he did not expect that Yu Hai had received the true teachings of the Xia Gan Gym.

"No need to thank me, I just didn't want to see you sacrifice yourself in vain." Yu Hai smiled at Latios, slowly reaching out his hand to Latios, his large palm firmly grasping Latios's wing.

In that instant, a special connection seemed to be established between them.

"Woo woo," Latios took one last deep look at Yu Hai, then gently took his sister's wings and slowly rose into the air, flying higher and higher until it disappeared again, leaving only a faint light flickering in the air a few times.

"Champion Lance, these two Pokémon are also Dragon-type, right?" Yu Hai waved goodbye to the two legendary Dragon-type Pokémon while turning to look at the calm Lance beside him.

His lips curled up in a smirk, a hint of excitement in his eyes. He gave the other party a sharp tap. He didn't believe that the legendary Dragon Cave didn't contain such a legendary spirit, but Du hadn't managed to subdue it. That was really strange!

"I know." Du's calm face almost crumbled, his lips twitched unnaturally, and a hint of helplessness and embarrassment appeared on his face.

No one knows who spread the name "King of Flying" about him, but now every time it's mentioned, it makes him so embarrassed that he wants to find the person and lock them in a dark room.

Whenever people talk about the Dragon-type Elite Four member, some people always call him the "Flying-type Elite Four member." Almost all of his Pokémon are Flying-type, while Dragon-type Pokémon are few and far between, which makes him both amused and exasperated.

"Champion Wataru, how's the search for the Super Stone I wanted going?" Yu Hai noticed that Wataru's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, afraid that he might accidentally anger the other party again.

If the other person were to throw him like before, he really wouldn't be able to handle it, so he quickly changed the subject to try and ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"Found two, still missing the Metagross Mega Stone." Lance said, taking two Mega Stones that emitted a mysterious light from his pocket.

He opened his palm and introduced the two Mega Stones to Yu Hai: "One is the Gyarados Mega Stone you wanted, and the other is the Swampert Mega Stone..."

"Thanks." A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Hai's eyes. He quickly took the two super stones and eagerly opened their panels. After examining them carefully, he found that they were indeed the super stones he had been dreaming of.

[Mega Stone: It can resonate with the trainer's Key Stone, allowing the Pokémon wearing the Mega Stone to Mega Evolve (Gyarados)]

[Mega Stone: It can resonate with the trainer's Key Stone, allowing the Pokémon wearing the Mega Stone to Mega Evolve (Swampert)]

"You're not in a hurry for Metagross's Mega Stone, are you?" A hint of weariness flashed in Lance's eyes. He really couldn't get Metagross's Mega Stone right now. If Yu Hai wasn't in a rush, he would have time to talk to Daigo and see if he could buy one from him.

After all, Daigo has a strange collecting obsession with all kinds of rare stones, so he should have extra Super Stones.

"It's alright, there's no rush now." Yu Hai shook his head slightly. He didn't know when he would be able to go to the Sinnoh region to capture that Shiny Metagross. He would have to finish the Elite Four tournament first.

"No rush." ​​Du breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yu Hai's reply, and his tense nerves relaxed.

In order to obtain the super stone from the fossil pterosaur, he has been running around non-stop and has really had no free time.

"By the way, Champion Du, can I use a Super Stone to exchange for other treasures in the Champion's Treasury?" Yu Hai suddenly remembered something important, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Du and asked earnestly, "I saw that there are also Super Stones in the Champion's Treasury, and they are listed together with other items. Their values ​​should be about the same, right?"

He secretly thought to himself that if the Super Stone could be exchanged for other items in the Champion's Treasury, he would make a fortune.
