Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 936: Little Sister is Really Good at Judging People
"Psychic Clay Doll, bring the rock container over," Yu Hai gestured for the psychic clay doll to bring the rock over. The psychic clay doll's eyes flashed blue light, and invisible psychic power wrapped around the container containing the rock, steadily removing the rock from the experimental platform.

He gazed at the gray rock lying quietly in the container, filled with doubt and curiosity, unable to understand what it was. But the man before him surely knew its secret.

“Don’t even think about it,” Butler said, his eyes wide open, staring fiercely at Yu Hai, his teeth clenched so tightly that his lips turned white.

He would keep everything about the experiment a secret, not revealing a single word to the robber in front of him.

The thought that his experiment, into which he had poured countless efforts, was about to be completed, was disrupted by this strange robber who appeared out of nowhere, filled him with anger and resentment. His hatred burned like a raging fire. He hated it!
"Oh ho, pretty stubborn, huh? I like your kind of tough bone." Yu Hai's lips curled into a meaningful smile. He calmly raised his hand and said to A Long with a cool, icy tone, "A Long, cripple his manhood..."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Butler's face turned deathly pale. His already terrified pupils contracted sharply, as if he were contemplating the most horrifying scene in the world.

He subconsciously looked down at his crotch, and felt a chill run through him. A cold wind swept over him, and his whole body felt a chill run down his spine. His legs trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Then, Ah Long's eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, he drew a sharp dagger from his waist. With a flash of cold light, the dagger exuded a chilling aura under the dim yellow light.

Aaron approached Butler step by step, his footsteps like a death knell, each step feeling like a blow to Butler's heart.

Aaron then brandished the dagger toward Butler's crotch, the sharp blade almost touching Butler's clothes, and Butler could even feel the chill emanating from the blade.

Just as Aaron was about to strike, Butler could no longer bear the fear in his heart. His body trembled violently, his mental defenses collapsed instantly, and he begged for mercy in a tearful voice, "Wait, spare me, I'll tell you everything..."

Butler swallowed hard, his throat dry. He was genuinely scared. If he didn't have a girlfriend, he might have been able to stand up for himself, but the thought of his beloved girlfriend made all his courage vanish instantly.

"I don't want to repeat the question from before," Yu Hai said expressionlessly, waving his hand to signal A Long to stop.

His gaze was sharp as he stared intently at the stranger before him, a hint of mockery in his eyes. He knew no man could withstand such interrogation, and quietly awaited the other's answer.

"My name is Butler. I am here to resurrect Groudon. I will use Jirachi to draw upon the immense energy of the comet to revive Groudon," Butler said, collapsing to the ground, his body like a deflated balloon, his face filled with despair and helplessness.

At this moment, he knew that the situation was beyond his control, and resistance would only cause him greater suffering. If he were still with Team Lava, with a group of loyal subordinates at his beck and call, why would he be afraid of the person in front of him?

Now alone and powerless, he could only resign himself to revealing his Groudon resurrection plan.

"Groudon? So that means? This thing is related to Groudon?" Yu Hai held the rock fragment in his hands, his eyes shining, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

His intuition told him that this rock was very likely the key prop in this theatrical version.

He muttered to himself, "I knew it! I was worried about where to find something to help Iron Man recover, but it's like a godsend. The non-flying fragment just appeared."

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing an excited smile.

"Yes, this rock is a fragment of Groudon's body." Butler sighed helplessly, his face filled with resentment and frustration, yet he had no choice but to truthfully explain the origin of the rock.

He could only watch helplessly as Yu Hai carefully put the rock into the other man's backpack. He was so angry that his teeth itched, and he cursed Yu Hai, this shameless scoundrel, in his heart. He wished he could rush up and snatch the rock back, and then trample Yu Hai underfoot and curse him.

"By the way, how did you get Groudon's body fragments? Do you know there are more fragments there?" Yu Hai suddenly remembered something important, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes as he stared intently at Butler, his gaze carrying an invisible sense of pressure.

He wondered to himself, where did this guy find Groudon's body fragments all by himself?
If more fragments can be found, Iron Man's breakthrough to the Heavenly King level is just around the corner, and even the Champion level is possible.

Even though this thing is slightly inferior to the level one breakthrough energy, it can still be considered level two breakthrough energy. As long as there is enough of it, it will be easy for Tie Hanhan to break through to the Heavenly King level.

The thought of Tie Hanhan's powerful strength after his breakthrough made his heart beat faster. He wouldn't be afraid of flying creatures then. Warning from the Cliff Sword.

“I’m a former scientist with Team Magma. I was kicked out because my experiment failed. There’s another piece of Groudon’s body fragment next to Team Magma leader Redpine, and it’s a bit bigger than this one.” Butler said, while secretly observing Yu Hai’s expression.

He secretly wondered: Could it be that the other party still wants Groudon's fragments and is going to cause trouble for Team Magma?
If that's the case, then we'll have a good show to watch, a perfect opportunity for these two gangs of robbers to fight like dogs.

"Team Lava?" Yu Hai murmured. He had thought before that Team Lava should have some non-flying body fragments, but he had always been troubled by not knowing where Team Lava's base was.

However, there happened to be a ready-made "intelligence agent" in front of him. A glint of inspiration flashed in his eyes, and he immediately asked, "As a former scientist of Team Lava, you should know where Team Lava's headquarters is, right?"

"I know. Team Lava's headquarters are in Waterloo City. Team Lava also has a seagoing warship. This flagship is often at sea, but I don't know its exact location." Butler looked nonchalant, showing no intention of hiding anything from his former employer, and just casually revealed all of his former employer's secrets.

Since he's already been kicked out of Team Lava, what does it have to do with him if these robbers go to rob Team Lava?

He might even be able to make both sides fight to the death, and then he can reap the benefits.

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on Butler's lips.

"Hehe," Yu Hai's lips curled into a cryptic chuckle, a smile tinged with suspicion and scrutiny.

He didn't entirely believe Butler's information. His gaze shifted, and he called to the psychic puppet beside him, "Psychic puppet, hypnotize him. I want to ask him again..."

"No, no, you can't do this!" Butler panicked instantly, his face drained of color, his eyes widened, and his expression was full of terror.

He knew in his heart that once hypnotized, he would reveal the truth without reservation, and no secrets would be able to be kept.

The thought that his girlfriend might be exposed and captured by the robbers made his heart feel like it was being gripped by a giant hand, and fear instantly spread across his face.

"Nian Nian!" The psychic clay doll's two scarlet eyes instantly lit up with a blue light, which was particularly dazzling on the dim experimental platform.

As the light flashed, an invisible spiritual force coiled around Butler, enveloping him in the blink of an eye. Before Butler could offer any resistance, he was successfully hypnotized. Yu Hai remained calm and asked the same question again. Butler's eyes were glazed over as he mechanically repeated his previous answer.

After receiving the same information, he nodded slightly, thinking to himself that the other party was just a mad scientist obsessed with forbidden experiments, not the kind of cunning and treacherous schemer with a belly full of evil intentions, nor an elf hunter with blood on his hands and no moral bottom line.

Just as he was pondering how to deal with Butler...

"Boom boom boom——"

A deafening explosion suddenly came from below the platform, sounding like rolling thunder, causing the entire experimental platform to tremble slightly, and the platform beneath their feet also shook.

He was startled. Logically, the battle should have ended by now. The sudden explosion puzzled him. He immediately looked down curiously and saw Ash and his friends attacking Poliwrath and the others. The fierce battle came into view.

"Tsk tsk, saving a Flying Dragon, huh?" Yu Hai shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

He turned to Aaron beside him and instructed, "Aaron, keep an eye on Butler on the platform. Make sure he doesn't cause any trouble. Also, look for anything of value."

After saying that, he glanced at the Claydol again. The Claydol understood the trainer's meaning and continued to use its psychic powers to control Butler, who was in a hypnotic state.

After making the arrangements, he boarded the toucan. With a flapping of its wings, the toucan appeared in the air with a graceful figure. The toucan let out a cry and flew towards the battleground below.

Upon arriving at the battlefield below, he quickly took out Butler's empty Poké Ball, locked his gaze on the injured Salamence, and pressed the button without hesitation.

A flash of red light appeared, and Salamence transformed into a streak of red light and was captured into a Poké Ball. This was his trophy, and he looked at the Poké Ball in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

After recalling his Salamence, he turned and walked towards Ash and the others, a relaxed smile on his face. He raised his hand in greeting, "Long time no see, Ash, Brock..."

"Brother Hai, what are you doing here? Are they your Pokémon?" Ash asked in surprise, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Poliwrath, Lucario, and Scizor, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

"Nonsense, otherwise, would you still be standing here talking?" Yu Hai said helplessly, spreading his hands.

If he didn't know Ash, given the strength of Poliwrath and the other two, Ash and his friends would probably have been beaten black and blue and unconscious long ago.

On the battlefield where the smoke and dust had not yet completely cleared, Diane was extremely anxious, her eyes filled with worry. She excitedly stepped out from the crowd and asked loudly, "That's Butler's Salamence! What did you do to Butler?"

She had just arrived when she saw the dying Salamence and was immediately overwhelmed with heartache and worry. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Butler's safety.

"Butler? He wanted to use Jirachi to absorb the comet's energy and revive Groudon, but I stopped him." Yu Hai's expression was calm, and his tone was casual, as if he were simply stating a trivial matter.

But this simple sentence was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Diane's heart and leaving her feeling utterly hopeless.

Diane's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, her eyes vacant, muttering repeatedly, "How could this be... how could this happen..."

"You've gone too far! You don't look like a good person at all," Xiao Yao frowned. Seeing the scene before her, she criticized Yu Hai without thinking. She didn't know Yu Hai, but that didn't stop her from angrily criticizing him.

"Little sister? I'm being unreasonable? Hahaha..." Yu Hai almost laughed out of anger when he heard this.

He shook his head helplessly, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and looked at Jirachi, who was being held by the little boy. Curiosity flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Is that your younger brother?"

Xiao Yao didn't speak, so he took it as a yes and continued, "Your brother's good friend Jirachi was captured by a mad scientist who extracted its energy to revive Groudon. This will destroy the entire forest, leaving countless wild Pokémon homeless. So, who's really in the wrong, little sister?"

His voice wasn't loud, but every word he spoke was firm and clear, reaching everyone's ears.

“Ah Hai is right.” Xiao Gang stood up and spoke up for Yu Hai with a serious expression.

He wasn't the kind of impulsive young man. As an experienced trainer, he knew the seriousness of the situation. If Diane's boyfriend successfully revived Groudon, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xiao Gang recalled how Yu Hai bravely stood up to stop the tsunami in Odomare. At that time, Yu Hai had shown extraordinary courage and wisdom. He believed in Yu Hai's judgment from the bottom of his heart, and that nipping the danger in the bud was the best choice.

"Big brother is right, I don't want Jirachi to get hurt." Max hugged Jirachi tightly, his face flushed red, his eyes filled with determination.

For some reason, after hearing Yu Hai's words, he developed a liking for Yu Hai, feeling that this older brother was protecting Kirachi.

"Yes, Brother Hai was a great help." Xiao Zhi nodded vigorously, agreeing wholeheartedly.

In his heart, he never doubted that Brother Hai was a bad person. He always thought that Brother Hai was a kind-hearted and trustworthy good person. How could he do something to hurt the elves?

"Why are you all like this? Why are you all taking his side? He's the outsider, you know!" Xiao Yao's cheeks puffed up with anger when she heard everyone say that.

She glared angrily at the familiar people around her, including her younger brother, but they all seemed so strange to her now, as if she didn't recognize them at all. The feeling of being isolated made her feel both wronged and angry.

“Xiao Yao, strictly speaking, we knew him before we knew you.” Xiao Gang spread his hands helplessly, a bitter smile on his face. He patiently explained, “We knew Ahai in the Kanto region, but we only met you and Xiao Sheng after we came to the Hoenn region.”

"What?" Xiao Yao pouted in dissatisfaction after hearing this. Although she was still a little unconvinced, she knew that there was no point in saying more.

She could only turn away sullenly and go to help Diane, who was slumped on the ground, up. In this somewhat unfamiliar environment, she felt that only Diane, who was also a girl, could understand her complicated and aggrieved feelings at this moment.
