Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 932, Female Thief
Yu Hai wasn't exactly lying when he left the secret garden of Latias and Latios; he did have something to deal with.

Ah Long has successfully captured the two female thieves. These two female thieves are extremely stubborn. Even after falling into Ah Long's hands, they still showed a look of being more willing to die than to submit. No matter how Ah Long interrogated them, they kept their lips tightly shut and refused to cooperate with anything.

Moreover, after some investigation, Ah Long was surprised to find that the two were actually dirt poor.

That's right, they were complete paupers. These two female thieves stole treasures purely to exchange for money.

As soon as she got the money, she started spending it all without any restraint. She had no concept of saving money at all. This can be seen from the details of their lives. They had all kinds of designer bags and cosmetics, and they even threw away the yacht they had just bought. She was the kind of female thief who lived an extremely exquisite life.

No wonder when I saw them before, they were dressed in gorgeous and sophisticated clothes, staying in a luxury hotel, and equipped with a bunch of high-tech surveillance equipment. Who would have thought they were just two penniless people with nothing but empty appearances?

Yu Hai originally captured the two men with the intention of seeing if these two top-ranked thieves had any valuable collectibles hidden away, or if they had bank cards with a large balance and a string of zeros.

But now he was greatly disappointed. Every time the two of them stole something, they couldn't wait to sell it immediately. After they had spent all the money, they would start looking for new targets. That's why they set their sights on the Heart Drop of the Water City.

Yu Hai arrived at the outskirts where the two female thieves were being held. The place was unusually quiet, and a gentle sea breeze carried a slight coolness as it blew on people.

Not far away, a yacht was quietly moored on the shore. This was the boat that Ah Long had rented to imprison the two female thieves.

Yu Hai stepped onto the ship and entered the cabin. The cabin was dimly lit, and he immediately saw two female thieves lying unconscious on the ground.

Their clothes were relatively intact, though a few wrinkles, suggesting they had struggled during the arrest.

One of them was wearing a black leather bodysuit that accentuated her graceful figure. The bodysuit was embroidered with silver thread patterns that shimmered faintly in the dim light, revealing a unique kind of exquisiteness even in her unconscious state.

Seeing this, Yu Hai nodded to himself. He trusted Ah Long's character. Ah Long was able to raise his daughter on his own, be a stay-at-home dad for so long, and reconcile with his ex-wife. This showed that he wasn't a bad person at heart and was a middle-aged man who could be saved and was worth helping.

At this moment, when Ah Long saw Yu Hai walk in, a look of relief appeared on his face. He quickly reached out and removed the multi-faceted mask from his face, revealing his weathered face. He lowered his head slightly, waiting for Yu Hai's instructions: "Boss, what should we do with them?"

"I never expected that the number one thief in the thieving world would be a penniless pauper." Yu Hai stood in the cabin, his gaze fixed on the two rather attractive female thieves, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

In his view, this type of woman is like a rose with thorns, beautiful yet dangerous, and he has always kept his distance from her.

Besides, he has a gentle and lovely girlfriend at home, so these heavily made-up women in front of him are simply not worth his attention.

At this moment, the air inside the cabin was somewhat stuffy, filled with a faint scent of perfume, the scent of the two female thieves. Thieves wearing perfume? Aren't they afraid of being tracked down? They don't even care about such small details.

"Boss, this is a recording of my interrogation of them." Ah Long took out a small recording device from his pocket and handed it to Yu Hai, then continued to explain, "Should we wake them up and interrogate them again?"

He had a clear conscience and was naturally not afraid of his boss's suspicions. He was upright and had nothing to fear, and he firmly believed that he could withstand any test.

"No need." Yu Hai reached out and took the recording device, then immediately pressed the play button.

As he listened, he waved his hand at Ah Long, his eyes icy, and directly sentenced the two to death: "Dispose of them..."

"Yes, boss." Upon hearing Yu Hai's order, A Long immediately understood. He turned to the Ditto beside him and shouted, "Ditto, transform into Ekans and bite them, injecting venom..."

"Busy, busy." Ah Long's Ditto responded, instantly transforming into a thick Arbok. It twisted its purple body, its scales shimmering dangerously purple under the light, and slowly crawled onto the two female thieves.

It opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp, venomous fangs, and bit down hard on the thighs of the two female thieves, injecting them with deadly poison.

The poison took effect extremely quickly, spreading rapidly like a tide. In the blink of an eye, the thighs of the two female thieves turned purplish-black, climbing up their legs and quickly spreading to their bodies and arms, finally reaching their faces.

Their once pretty faces were now distorted by pain. The two female thieves were awakened by the excruciating pain. They struggled desperately, their eyes wide open, filled with fear and despair.

However, the gags stuffed in their mouths prevented them from making any sound, only allowing them to groan softly, helplessly watching their bodies being slowly eroded by the deadly poison.

As time passed, their eyes gradually dimmed, and their breathing became weaker and weaker.

"Give it a final stab to the heart, then throw your Megalodon further away to attract wild Megalodons to deal with it." Yu Hai had already finished listening to the recording. His face was expressionless as he reached out and gripped the recorder tightly, squeezing it hard.

With a "crack," the recorder was crushed to pieces. Then, with a flick of the wrist, the broken recorder was thrown into the sea. The shattered parts arced through the night sky and disappeared into the vast ocean.

Then, he slowly got up and quietly watched Ah Long's every move. The cabin was dimly lit. Ah Long held a sharp blade and swiftly finished off the two female thieves. The blade gleamed coldly under the light, and each strike was accompanied by a chilling decisiveness.

After finishing off the thief, Ah Long skillfully tied up the female thief's corpse. The rope moved quickly through his hands, and in no time, the two female thief's corpses were firmly bound.

"Ah Long, collect their valuables and deal with them as you see fit," Yu Hai said, not paying any attention to the pile of valuables. The two female thieves' remaining personal belongings and jewelry were probably only worth ten or twenty million, so he gave them to Ah Long as a reward for his trouble.

“Okay, boss,” Ah Long didn’t care about the pile of valuables. They weren’t anything valuable. He wouldn’t be short of money following the boss.

Then, turning his gaze away, he lifted the bodies onto his shoulder and strode toward the ship's side. Without hesitation, he threw them into the sea. The two muffled splashes were particularly clear in the quiet night, and the water rippled silver in the moonlight.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Long released his Megalodon, whose gaping maw burst out of the water, creating a huge splash.

Under Aron's command, it swam swiftly across the water's surface with its sharp fins toward the body that had been thrown into the sea, grabbed the rope with its powerful jaws, and dragged the body slowly toward the deep sea.

Seeing this, Ah Long released his desert dragonfly. The desert dragonfly flapped its wings and made a buzzing sound, carrying Ah Long closely behind the Megalodon. He had to see the wild Megalodon clean up the last corpse with his own eyes to ensure that everything was handled cleanly and without leaving a trace.

Yu Hai stood on the yacht, watching A Long leave. The sea breeze gently brushed his face, carrying the unique salty scent of the ocean.

As he watched Ah Long's figure gradually disappear into the night, he gently exhaled and released his Big-Beak Gull.

With a cry, the beacon spread its broad wings, and Yu Hai leaped onto its back. The beacon flapped its wings vigorously, carrying Yu Hai towards the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Yu Hai entered his room, where a warm atmosphere greeted him. He looked at the Poké Balls, thinking that it was time to feed his Pokémon dinner.

After all that, he felt a bit tired and decided to feed the elf first, then take a nice hot bath and get some rest.

Next, all he needs to do is increase his affinity with those two legendary spirits a bit more, and then he can leave Aldomaree.

He pondered the Pokémon retrieved from the gym. Poliwrath didn't need to be sent back; Ada had mentioned before that his Poliwrath had learned Waterfall and was now significantly stronger. All that remained was for it to master its use. Slowking, who had just reached Elite Four level, and Ludicolo, also needed to be sent back to the gym for further training.

Although Slowking has broken through to the Elite Four level, he still needs time to mature, since the opponents they are about to face are all seasoned trainers who have been at the Elite Four level for a long time.

The Pokémon of veteran Elite Four trainers are formidable in terms of both experience and strength. Slowking, which has just reached Elite Four, is far from being a match for them.

The same applies to Lucky Kappa. Without a suitable training environment and resources, it would be difficult for him to break through to the Elite Four level. Therefore, it would be better to send him back to the dojo so that professionals can continue his training.

As for Kingler and Gyarados, there's no need to send them back. He thought of the Gyarados Mega Stone he got from Lance and had an idea to try it out. He could let Gyarados try Mega Evolution first, which would also help prepare for the Elite Four tournament.

The last Ivory Boar still needs to be sent back. Uncle Liu has extensive experience in raising Ice-type Pokémon, so having him help raise the Ivory Boar to break through to the Elite Four level is undoubtedly a better choice.

Keeping the Ivory Pig here not only prevents it from breaking through, but also wastes its opportunity for improvement. It would be better to make good use of the resources of these predecessors.

Thinking of this, he took out Mamoswine's Poké Ball, opened Mamoswine's proficiency panel, and stared at the information on the panel, pondering how much Mamoswine's potential had increased after evolving.

Ivory pig

[Attribute: Ice + Ground]

[Gender: Male]

[Potential: 77%]

[Level: 59.99%]

[Trait: Sluggish/59.99%] [Hidden Trait: Thick Fat/59.99%]

[Master the moves...]

"Not bad, not bad at all, it actually has a potential of seventy-seven." Yu Hai lay on the hotel bed, looking at the Ivory Pig panel projected in front of him, a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and nodded secretly.

The Ivory Boar has the potential to be a top-tier Elite Four member, comparable to the Swampert, making it a true mainstay.

His gaze fell on the level column, and he found that the Ivory Boar's level hadn't changed at all, exactly the same as when it participated in the Silver Tournament. Now, the Ivory Boar only needed to break through to the Heavenly King level to truly become powerful.

He frowned slightly and continued to examine the various information on the panel. Mamoswine's ability had reached the limit of a near-Elite Four member, and many of its Ice-type moves had also been upgraded to the limit of a near-Elite Four member.

He pondered silently, now all he could do was wait and see when this ivory boar would break through to the Heavenly King level and enter the Heavenly King realm.

Thinking of this, he closed the Mamoswine panel. Then he took out a Poké Ball containing Slowking from the Poké Ball beside him and opened Slowking's proficiency panel. This Pokémon had also changed a lot. He looked at it with anticipation, ready to take a good look at Slowking's panel.

【Dumb King】

[Attribute: Water + Superpower]

[Gender: Female]

[Potential: 84%]

[Level: 61.21%]

[Trait: Slowness/59.99%] [Hidden Trait: Regeneration/55.19%]

【掌握招式：（念力/60.91%）（睡觉/60.01%）（冥想/60.01%）（瞬间移动/60.01%）（精神强念/60.01%）（预知未来/59.99……】

"Not bad, not bad." Yu Hai nodded slightly, shifting his gaze from the Slowking's panel.

After looking at the panel, he knew what was going on. Dazai's level had broken through to the Elite Four level, which was undoubtedly good news.

However, when his gaze fell on the Trait column, he frowned slightly. The Trait seemed to be stuck and could not be improved further.

Then, he checked the proficiency of the moves. The proficiency of the moves was quite good, especially the psychic moves, five of which had reached the Elite Four level, which really surprised him.

However, progress in water-type moves has been somewhat slow, currently stuck at the .99 level. He gently stroked his chin and pondered to himself that he should let Slowking practice water-type moves more in the future. If things continue like this, other moves can also break through to the Elite Four level.

Thinking of this, Yu Hai couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Although Grandpa Atsumi ran a Water-type Gym, judging from Slowking's training focus, Grandpa Atsumi was clearly specializing in Psychic-type moves rather than Water-type moves.

"So the so-called Water-type Gym is all hype!" Yu Hai muttered to himself. He had to admit that this old guy's expertise in psychic abilities was far greater than his expertise in water-type abilities. He seemed low-key on the surface, but he was actually quite shrewd.

He closed the Slowking panel, then got up and turned on the Poké Balls, letting the Pokémon come out in batches for dinner. The room immediately became lively, with various Pokémon shouts rising and falling, filling the room with a cheerful atmosphere.

After everyone had finished lunch, it was already dark. The hotel corridor was dimly lit and quiet, with only the faint sound of footsteps.

After finishing his business, Ah Long rushed back and stood outside Yu Hai's door, gently knocking on it.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

"Boss, the tail has been cleaned up." Ah Long stood outside the door, reporting to Yu Hai what had just happened.

A slight noise came from the room, then the door opened a crack, and Yu Hai's face appeared in the crack. He instructed, "Okay, rest now. Let's stay here for a few more days, then we'll go to Hoenn."

He spoke softly, informing Ah Long of the upcoming schedule, and then slowly closed the door.

Back in the room, he picked up Umbreon from behind him, walked to the bedside, and gently lay down. Umbreon let out a soft snore, nestled in his arms, and soon fell asleep.

The room was completely quiet at this moment, with only the even breathing of him and Umbreon. Once he finished increasing his affinity with Latias and Latios, he could leave Aldor Mare and embark on a new journey...
