Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 935, Violent Flying Dragon
It's the 246th day since I left the Orange Islands, at night.

Night fell like a giant curtain, pressing heavily on the earth. All around was quiet and deserted, with only the occasional low chirping of unknown insects adding to the mystery of the night.

After several days of tireless searching, they finally arrived at the Farnese Stone Forest. Under the moonlight, the stone forest was filled with strange rocks, and silent stone pillars soared into the clouds.

They stayed in this wild jungle for several days, and apart from the sound of the wind in the stone forest, the occasional birds flying by, and some wild spirits, they did not find anything strange.

Tonight, the Flying-type Pokémon they sent out to scout returned in a hurry, its urgent cries conveying the news of the anomaly it had discovered.

Following the direction indicated by the Flying-type Pokémon, they saw faint flickering lights in the distance. He and Arlong exchanged a glance, and with a hint of tension and curiosity, they quietly approached the light.

When they cautiously approached the firelight, they saw familiar figures in the dim light—Ash and his friends.

However, this time, Ash's partners have changed. Of the original team, only Brock is still there, and the team has been expanded to include May and Max, as well as a strange woman.

"Boss, why is it always them?" Ah Long frowned, his face full of doubt and confusion, and asked in a low voice.

Aaron had a vague feeling that something was wrong. As a human who had been through many years in the Pokémon world and had a normal mind, he really couldn't understand why Ash always appeared whenever there were major events.

It was as if the whole world revolved around Ash, and they and the others seemed to be arranged by fate to meet them time and time again.

"Hehe, see that little boy's elf in his arms? It should be the main character this time." Yu Hai said calmly, not intending to explain A Long's doubts.

He's the most pitiful one. He fell from a higher dimension to the elven world. Who can he complain to? He was inexplicably hit with a dimensional reduction attack. He's the one who's truly pathetic!

As he raised his binoculars, his gaze fixed on Jirachi in Masaki's arms, a barely perceptible glint of excitement flashed in his eyes. After watching for a moment, he casually tossed the binoculars to Arlong, then turned and walked away.

"Boss, what should we do next?" Ah Long hurriedly took the binoculars and jogged after Yu Hai, anxiously asking about the next steps.

"Have the elves monitor this jungle around the clock to find another group," Yu Hai instructed A Long leisurely as he walked.

The other group he mentioned was naturally the villains of this theatrical version. Although he didn't know who they were, based on his years of experience, he knew that the good stuff must be with that group.

With that in mind, he released all his Pokémon without hesitation. These well-trained creatures instantly disappeared into the night, embarking on their mission to find suspicious individuals.

Back at the camp, Yu Hai watched the elves finish their dinner and methodically arranged their duty shifts.

The elves with stronger nocturnal abilities take the night shift, while the rest of the elves rest and sleep. During the day, the nocturnal elves rest, while the other elves continue to monitor the jungle, returning immediately to notify them if there is any disturbance.

After arranging the night elves, he looked at the other elves and called out to them, "Everyone, get some rest and sleep. When daytime comes, it will be your turn to take over their duties and continue to monitor this jungle."

Upon hearing the instructions, the fast-swimming frogs each found a good spot, lying down or sprawling, preparing to conserve their energy.

The task of keeping watch was assigned to Alon's elves. Several of the Orb Spiders had been sent out, so Alon had to take on the watch.

And as they waited, time quietly slipped away in the long wait.

They waited from night until day, and then from day until dusk, until the evening of the next day when the gulls that had gone out to scout hurriedly returned, conveying the news of the discovery of suspicious persons with anxious cries.

As night fell, a clear cry broke the silence of the camp. A beak streaked across the night sky, a white streak, and swiftly landed at the campsite where Yu Hai and his companion were resting, calling out, "Beep beep..."

Yu Hai and A Long had been waiting there for a long time, their eyes filled with anticipation and eagerness.

Upon hearing the message from the big-billed gull, Yu Hai's tense face immediately broke into a smile. He gently patted the big-billed gull's head and said with a warm smile, "Big-billed gull, you've worked hard. Go and tell them to come back!"

"Beep beep," the big-billed gull responded, then spread its wings and flew away again, disappearing into the dense forest.

It flitted through the woods, constantly emitting clear chirps that carried far in the quiet night. Hearing the chirps, the other companions received the order to assemble and hurried towards the camp.

Yu Hai went to great lengths to find this mysterious group, sending out almost all of his elves.

Aside from a few Pokémon that couldn't show themselves for special reasons, about twenty Pokémon were sent out, and familiar figures gradually appeared in the camp.

When he saw Gengar's shadowy black figure, Poliwrath's agile form, and Scizor's imposing red figure, and after several of his main Pokémon had returned, he could hardly contain his eagerness.

He looked at the giant crab and instructed it seriously, "Giant crab, you stay at the camp and wait for the other little guys to return. Let them wait peacefully at the camp."

“Cough,” the giant crab clenched its large pincers, indicating that Yu Hai could rest assured.

After explaining the giant crab, Yu Hai turned to A Long and called out, "A Long, get ready, we're leaving right away..."

Regardless of who the big boss in this movie is, he has to go and see what's going on first, otherwise he'll miss out on even a sip of soup.

"Boss, I'm ready." Ah Long said, tightening his gear as he spoke.

He did not send out his main Pokémon to search the jungle. In this dangerous environment, if a battle broke out, it would be troublesome if there were no Pokémon to fight. Therefore, he kept a few of his main Pokémon with him in case of emergency.

“Let’s go, Big-headed Gull.” Yu Hai said, sitting on the broad back of the Big-headed Gull.

The beaked gull flapped its wings and flew rapidly toward the target location it had just discovered.

Ah Long rode his desert dragonfly, closely following the great beak.

As they flew into the air, the moonlight shone on the earth, making the stone forest appear even more mysterious.

At this moment, they saw a man-made platform that appeared out of place in the stone forest, standing out starkly against the backdrop of the surrounding natural environment.

On the platform, a man in a white tuxedo was busy assembling his experimental platform. The white tuxedo was covered in stains under the light. The man's movements were skillful and focused.

Their arrival made no attempt to avoid the man. Seeing that he was alone, Yu Hai and A Long exchanged a glance and then brazenly landed on the experimental platform. "Who are you people?" Butler was startled when he saw two strangers suddenly barging in, worried that his long-planned resurrection operation would be ruined.

His eyes were filled with vigilance, and he immediately reached into his waistband to take out a Poké Ball, ready to defend himself against Yu Hai and the other person.

"You're the main villain this time?" Yu Hai thought to himself, scrutinizing the stranger with piercing eyes.

He looked the man up and down, trying to find some clues from his expression and behavior, but found that he did not recognize him.

However, none of that mattered to him anymore; what mattered was what treasures he could find next.

His gaze continued to sweep over the experimental platform the man had meticulously constructed, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

He walked along, glancing around as if searching for some crucial item. In this elven world, villains all share a common trait: they never hide their valuables, always revealing them in obvious places.

"What are you looking for?" Butler kept a close eye on Yu Hai's every move, and seeing Yu Hai searching around like this, he became even more vigilant.

He instinctively shifted his body to the side, tightly protecting the container behind him that held his most precious possessions, including fragments of Groudon's body.

The unremarkable fragment, devoid of any luster, resembled a stone casually picked up by the roadside. Yet, it was his most precious possession. Without further hesitation, he quickly reached into the Poké Ball and shouted, "Come out, Salamence, chase them away..."

With a flash of light, the massive and robust body of the Salamence appeared on the platform. It let out a deafening roar, and a powerful airflow surged around it.

"Salamander? Tsk tsk, what a pleasant surprise." Yu Hai withdrew his searching gaze and looked at the Salamander with a hint of delight in his eyes, unconsciously licking his lips.

The opponent attacked him with a Pokémon first, so he can't be blamed. Although Salamence isn't his pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon, it's still a pretty good Pokémon for breeding.

bang bang bang-

Almost simultaneously, he swiftly opened the Poké Balls in his hand, and all three Poké Balls emitted a red light. Three Pokémon appeared within the light, and a confident smile appeared on his face as he called out to the three little guys, "Poliwrath, Scizor, Lucario, have some fun with his Salamence..."

"Yoru!" Poliwrath let out a deep cry, and together with Scizor and Lucario, they formed a triangle formation at an extremely fast speed, instantly trapping Salamence in the middle.

Although Salamence is also a powerful Elite Four-level Pokémon, it still faced a situation of outnumbered opponents against these three other Elite Four-level Pokémon, making the outcome of this battle seem predictable from the start.

After all, Yu Hai's three Pokémon have never lost a battle where they outnumber the enemy.

"What? Three Celestial King level!" Butler's eyes widened in shock and fear at the sight before him.

At first, he thought that the two clumsy intruders were just ordinary petty thieves or wild Pokémon hunters, and he didn't take them seriously at all. He didn't expect that the two of them would release three Elite Four level Pokémon at will, which was far beyond his expectations.

"Swimming Frog, go fight at a distance." Yu Hai waved his hand calmly, having already anticipated all of this.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly threw out another Pokémon, Claydol, which appeared in front of everyone.

This psychic clay figure was specially used by him to control the stranger in front of him, and also to interrogate him about who he was and what the rock in the container was, and why the other man valued it so much.

"Psychic clay puppet, use your psychic powers to control him..." Yu Hai said calmly. A Heavenly King-level psychic clay puppet could easily defeat a human.

"Nian Nian!" the psychic clay puppet responded, its eyes instantly lighting up with a bright blue light.

In an instant, an invisible and powerful psychic force spread out from the psychic clay figure and precisely enveloped Butler.

Butler felt his body instantly lose control, bound tightly by a powerful force.

Not only that, but even the three Poké Balls on his waist were "touched" out by this psychic power, hovering in mid-air, losing their chance to completely break free.

"Let me go, let me go!" Butler struggled frantically, his body twisting and his feet kicking the ground as he tried to break free from the terrifying telekinetic control.

However, faced with the powerful psychic energy of the Heavenly King-level psychic clay puppet, all his struggles were futile due to the enormous difference in strength.

Boom boom boom, boom boom boom—

Suddenly, a deafening explosion came from below the experimental platform, the sound so loud it seemed to collapse the platform, and the entire platform trembled.

It turned out that a battle had broken out between the four Pokémon. Scizor was as fast as lightning. At the very beginning of the battle, it took the initiative with its sharp red pincers and broke off Salamence's wing with lightning speed.

With a painful roar, the massive Salamence, like a bird with broken wings, plummeted into the forest below.

Scizor knew very well that only it could fly, and the pressure from the pseudo-legendary Salamence would fall heavily on its shoulders. On its own, it could only manage a 50/50 chance against the Salamence, and it wasn't confident it could defeat it.

Therefore, only by forcing the Salamence to the ground, and having the three of them gang up on it together, will the battle become easier.

Next, Poliwrath and Lucario quickly launched an attack. Poliwrath's fist was instantly covered with a layer of crystal-clear frost, gleaming with a cold white light.

Lucario's fists were also covered in frost, radiating a chill, as they circled around Salamence, which had lost its ability to fly and was trapped on the ground, constantly interfering with and pulling at it.

Poliwrath leaps nimbly, unleashing punches imbued with freezing power time and again, while Lucario, with its agility, seizes the opportune moment to launch its attack.

Although Salamence is powerful, it gradually fell into a passive position under such a siege. In addition, Ice Punch is four times effective against Salamence and its power should not be underestimated. It is clear that Salamence's defeat is only a matter of time.

On the experimental platform, Yu Hai heard the sounds of fierce fighting below, then slowly withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the unfamiliar man controlled by the psychic clay puppet, a relaxed smile on his face, and said with a hint of teasing.

"Your Salamence seems rather weak! Tell me, who are you? What are you doing here? What's your purpose? And what is this rock?"
