Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 933: Double Bomb Gas King

It's been 240 days since I left the Orange Islands. It's drizzling.

Half a month passed quietly, and during this time, Yu Hai maintained his persona as a fishing enthusiast.

Rather than calling it a persona, it's more accurate to say that he genuinely loves fishing. When the fishing line dips into the water, watching the float rise and fall, and quietly waiting for the fish to bite, he seems to forget all his troubles, his heart filled with peace and tranquility.

However, every time he encountered a slump and couldn't catch a single fish, he would inevitably feel down. His slightly furrowed brows and soft sighs revealed his inner disappointment.

Fortunately, Latios was always by his side. After transforming into human form, this legendary elf developed a strong interest in fishing and followed him closely every day, imitating him and staring intently at the water. His appearance was somewhat cute and serious.

Latias, on the other hand, doesn't have the patience to fish quietly. It tried several times but couldn't stick to it. It still prefers to play with Ash. Its lively and active nature never stops.

However, just a week ago, Ash ended his trip in Ottomare and left the beautiful city of Water City.

Now, Yu Hai also plans to say goodbye to Odomare. He told Latios last night that he would be leaving today.

He looked Latios straight in the eye, a hint of reluctance in his eyes, and slowly smiled, "Latios, I'm leaving. I plan to travel to the Hoenn region..."

As he spoke, he took out a slightly creased world map from his backpack, carefully unfolded it, and slid his finger across the map, finally stopping at the location of the Hoenn region. He explained to Latios, "Look, the Hoenn region is just south of the Johto continent, and Odomare is right between the Johto region and the Hoenn region."

Latios leaned closer, his eyes fixed on the map, his ears twitching slightly, as if trying to understand Yu Hai's words.

“The Orange Islands are located south of the Kanto Continent, and the Orange Islands are also where I live,” Yu Hai added, his eyes revealing anticipation for the new journey.

Geographically speaking, the Orange Islands and the Hoenn region are very close, separated only by a sea, much like how Johto and Kanto are separated by the Silver Mountains.

"Waaah..." Latios stared at the map, its big eyes filled with reluctance, its eyes slightly reddening. It reached out and tightly grabbed Yu Hai's clothes, as if wanting to keep Yu Hai to go fishing with it a little longer.

"Haha, you still have to protect Odomare. We need you here, and I also need to continue my journey. I can't stay here forever." Yu Hai smiled and reached out to gently pat Latios's head, his fingers rubbing his head incessantly.

Latios is no longer as arrogant as it used to be. Now, when you pet its head, it just quietly enjoys it. After all, it's just a child.

Then, with anticipation in his eyes, Yu Hai continued with a smile, "When I participate in the competition, you can come and help me play! Then, we can show off our skills together on the field!"

"Woo-woo!" Latios had recently been watching Yu Hai's match recordings on its laptop and already knew what the match was all about. Hearing Yu Hai's words, it immediately nodded vigorously at him, its eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.

"Then it's settled!" Yu Hai smiled and extended his fist, shaking it slightly in the air.

Latios also extended his fist without hesitation, and it gently collided with Yu Hai's fist.

At this moment, it was as if an invisible force was tightly binding them together. Yu Hai thought to himself, "I guess I've successfully abducted them."

He was really looking forward to successfully convincing a mythical beast to help him in the competition, and a picture involuntarily appeared in his mind.

On the day of the competition, when the legendary Pokémon man confidently pulls out Darkrai and Latios, he will also calmly send out the same two Pokémon.

What complex expressions will appear on the audience's faces at that moment? Their initial anticipation might freeze instantly, followed by surprise, confusion, admiration, and a variety of other emotions!
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and his eyes were already looking forward to that time.

However, Yu Hai had a longer-term plan in mind, and he certainly wouldn't let Darkrai and Latios directly face off against the legendary Pokémon.

He firmly believed that the little ones he had carefully nurtured had unlimited potential.

He hopes to get these ordinary Pokémon on the field and let them prove that they are no less powerful than those legendary Pokémon with their unwavering will and outstanding strength.

He longed to see these ordinary elves shine on the field, achieving a resounding victory that would amaze everyone.

In fact, he did have mythical beasts, but deep down he preferred to cultivate the spirits himself, step by step.

In his eyes, these ordinary elves are the companions who have accompanied him and helped him grow along the way, and they have special feelings and meaning for him, while the mythical beasts are just good friends who occasionally help him.

Therefore, he didn't want to rely on the power of mythical beasts, but rather wanted to write their own stories with the ordinary elves who grew up alongside him.

……

On the morning before departure, the sky was already fully bright, and a light drizzle fell silently, making a soft "drip-drop" sound as it hit the ground. The raindrops slid slowly down Yu Hai's cheeks, bringing a slight coolness.

Yu Hai stood by the dock. The once bustling dock was now somewhat deserted. No one else came to say goodbye except for the two legendary Pokémon, Latias and Latios, and the balding old man Bengrei. Bengrei's granddaughter, Kanon, did not come.

"Goodbye! I'll come back again when I have time!" Yu Hai said with a smile, waving goodbye to the two legendary Pokémon. His arm waved in the air, a hint of reluctance in his eyes, and then he turned his gaze to Bengrei, waving enthusiastically as well.

"Goodbye, Xiao Hai, remember to come often, these two kids will miss you." Ben Gray smiled and waved back, his bald head reflecting slightly under the streetlights.

This young man, besides his occasional quirky and eccentric humor, also has a hobby of sitting by the river for most of the day fishing; he's quite an interesting person.

The perverse sense of humor he was referring to was, of course, the incident where Yu Hai went to Du Guanjun to plead poverty, which, upon closer examination, wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

After all, the Heart Drop had been obtained, and with it, Odomare's future was somewhat secured.

Thinking of this, Ben Grey's smile deepened. At this moment, the Alliance had specially sent Officer Jenny to guard the location where the Heart Drops were stored.

Beside Officer Jenny, two other Pokémon guarded the Heart Drop: one was the imposing Arcanine, radiating a powerful aura, and the other was the enormous Venusaur, which stood quietly in the garden, exuding a calm and composed presence.

Both of these are powerful Pokémon. With them guarding the Heart Drop, Ben Grey no longer has to worry about the Heart Drop all day long.

As the yacht's engine roared to life, Yu Hai's yacht slowly pulled away from the dock, the waves gently lapping against the hull with rhythmic sounds.

Yu Hai stood on the yacht, gazing at the increasingly distant dock, his heart filled with mixed emotions. What is not his own will never truly be his; he was ultimately just a passerby.

On the dock, Bengrey still stood there, with Latias and Latios beside him, watching Yu Hai's yacht gradually shrink until it disappeared from sight.

Then, Ben Gray sighed softly and called out gently, "Let's go, kids, let's go home."

Latias and Latios followed obediently behind him as they walked toward the garden, the raindrops still falling gently on them.

As their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, the Secret Garden returned to its usual tranquility, and everything returned to its peaceful daily routine.

……

On the sea, Alon was in charge of driving the yacht, while Yu Hai sat on the side of the boat enjoying the scenery. He was happy to be free, with Umbreon still by his side, sitting beside him and watching the sea.

His attention wasn't on the sea, but on the Poké Ball's panel. Before leaving Aldor Mare, while building up his relationship with Latios, his Weezing also broke through to Elite Four level.

【Double Gas (Different Colors)】

[Attribute: Poison]

[Gender: Male]

[Potential: 89.01%]

[Level: 60.01%]

[Trait: Levitation/59.99%] [Hidden Trait: Stench/60.01%]

[Mastered moves: (Poison/62.01%) (Hiccup/61.01%) (Poison Gas/60.01%)]

Double Gas's potential has broken through, reaching 89 points. All this guy does is eat, eat, eat. Yu Hai shook his head helplessly when he saw this potential.

However, there is some good news: dual-explosive gas can now seal the vents and achieve internal circulation, so the gas no longer smells bad.

As expected, its rank reached the Elite Four level. Its Levitate ability is still a bit lacking, but its Stench ability has reached the Elite Four level, which is why Weezing can control its own stench.

Some poison-type moves have also reached the Elite Four level. It seems that he has eaten too much poison, and even his burping has broken through the Elite Four level. Other poison-type moves have not broken through the Elite Four level. It seems that he is another fool.

With the Weezing panel closed, he had a clear understanding of this Pokémon's role: it could only be used as a support Pokémon. After all, poison gas is a group attack that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, and it would hurt both the enemy and the user.

If the Double Gas uses poison gas and poisons your own people, that would be bad. Unless you're soloing a dungeon, then it doesn't matter. Just wear a gas mask and you'll get an area-of-effect attack from everyone.

Not knowing when he would need it, he put away the Poké Ball containing the Weezing, looked at the rising sun in the distance, and went into a shady spot in the cabin to catch up on some sleep.

"Ah Long, drive slower," Yu Hai reminded Ah Long before going to sleep, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

"Okay, boss," Aaron said from the cockpit. Hearing his boss's call, he immediately reduced the speed and slowly headed towards the Hoenn region.
