Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 941, got it

The piercing alarm echoed throughout the warship, breaking the silence of the night. The sound was like a sharp needle, piercing Yu Hai's ears and making his heart skip a beat.

Meanwhile, in a rest area on the warship, a group of Lava Team members who were playing cards also heard the piercing alarm.

"What? The warships have been compromised! Level 1 alert?"

The room was in chaos. Someone, quick as a flash, grabbed the scattered money on the table, got up, and ran away.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, and in an instant, the money on the table vanished without a trace.

Everyone panicked and scattered instantly, each running towards their squad leader's location to await orders from above.

Yu Hai heard the alarm. He looked around and found there was nowhere to go. He still had to wait for Gengar, so he could only stand at the laboratory door with his posture straight, his eyes calm, and his throat unconsciously swallowing.

Just then, the laboratory door suddenly swung open, and a chubby scientist walked out. He was wearing a white lab coat, stained with some unknown dirt, and his face showed a mixture of panic and helplessness.

As a core member of the Lava Team and also serving as their scientist, Himura had just finished a long period of experimental research and appeared exhausted. He took off his thick glasses, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and looked weary.

When he put his glasses back on, he saw Yu Hai standing guard at the door, his voice tinged with annoyance and confusion: "What happened? Why is there an alarm?"

"I don't know, I didn't leave. The alarm went off suddenly." Yu Hai answered methodically, like a dutiful statue, his face expressionless, and no one could find fault with him.

rustling, rustling—

Suddenly, the walkie-talkie on Himura's waist emitted a noisy electrical sound. After the channel was calibrated, a hurried and frightened voice came from it.

"Himura, something terrible has happened! The battleship has been invaded, and the leader's Poké Ball has been stolen! I've sealed off the battleship; we absolutely cannot let the thief escape..."

"What? I'm coming right away!" Upon hearing this news, Himura's face was filled with disbelief. This wasn't a bar or club; it was their Lava Team's headquarters.

This guy is incredibly audacious, daring to steal from the leader. Isn't he afraid of dying?
He didn't have time to think anymore. He immediately turned around and left quickly, his steps hurried and flustered. The leader's elf had been stolen; this was a devastating blow.

As Himura's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Yu Hai remained standing straight by the door, his eyes fixed straight ahead, once again becoming a stone statue.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when the village completely disappeared from sight, silently praying: "I hope Gengar can hurry up, otherwise it won't be able to escape."

"Giggle, giggle," Gengar's excited cries echoed in Yu Hai's mind. Not long after Fire Village left, it silently returned to Yu Hai's shadow and kept calling out to him excitedly.

It also spat out the rock container hidden in the shadows, and successfully found the rock fragment that Yu Hai wanted, which was indeed in the laboratory.

“Very good.” Yu Hai saw the rock container emerging from the shadow, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he made Gengar swallow it.

Once he had confirmed that he had obtained the fragments of Groudon's body, he did not hesitate to raise his hand and release Weezing. The round Weezing body appeared in the air, emitting a pungent smell.

This was exactly the scent Yu Hai needed, so he immediately shouted to the Double Gas, "Double Gas, use poison gas..."

As he spoke, he quickly put on the gas mask he had prepared beforehand. The red alarm light reflected off the glass lenses of the mask, but it couldn't hide his joy. Whether he could escape now depended on the cover of the double-explosive gas.

As he put on the gas mask, the double-barreled gas began to spray out poison gas continuously. The purple poisonous fog spread rapidly like a surging tide, and everything in its path was stained with a dangerous purple color.

He carried two gas canisters and headed towards the bottom of the warship, where there was a submarine dock, which was now his only hope for escape.

……

Meanwhile, inside Crimson Flame Pine's room, a series of urgent shaking and shouts broke the tranquility of the room.

Chi Yansong slowly opened his eyes, still half-asleep. When his gaze fell on the empty bedside table, his sleepy eyes widened instantly.

"My Poké Ball?" Red Flame Pine instinctively covered his head. Having inhaled too much hypnotic powder earlier, and now being suddenly awakened, his mind was a jumbled mess, dizzy, and his thoughts were somewhat sluggish.

He was wearing a loose red bathrobe with the collar slightly open, revealing his muscular chest. His hair was casually scattered on his forehead, and the fiery red strands were somewhat disheveled due to his panic.

"Boss, there's a thief! The Poké Balls have been stolen!" The Hokage explained anxiously. He was the first to notice the anomaly. The research dog from the Fire Village was still working late into the night, and the woman from the Fire Goose didn't want to stay up late, so the task of taking care of the boss's daily life fell to him.

"What? My Poké Ball was stolen? Damn it, how dare they steal from me, Red Pine! Have you caught the thief yet?" Red Pine instantly flew into a rage, its fiery red hair standing on end.

He sat up abruptly in bed, his face contorted with rage, like a furious beast. Among the stolen Pokémon were his starter Pokémon, Camerupt, and the Mega Stone that Camerupt wore.

The thought of this pierced his heart. Who was the damned thief who dared to steal his precious fire-breathing camel?

"Chief, I suspect a thief has disguised himself and infiltrated the warship. I have ordered all exits to be sealed off; not even a fly can get out now." The Hokage lowered his head, his voice tinged with apprehension.

He knew in his heart that he had not caught the thief, and he was prepared to face the leader's furious wrath.

"Then why aren't you going to catch them? What are you still doing here!" Crimson Pine's eyes widened in anger. He grabbed the last Poké Ball from the bedside and hurled it at the Hokage. He was trembling with rage, every pore radiating fury.

The Hokage reacted extremely quickly, dodging the incoming Poké Ball with a nimble movement. The Poké Ball whistled past and crashed into the wall with a dull thud.

Due to the immense force of the impact, the Poké Ball shattered instantly, releasing the Weezing gas inside and filling the room with a pungent odor.

The other Poké Ball was empty; the Mightyena that was originally inside was fast asleep in the corner.

"Damn it, still sleeping! Go find the thief!" Chi Yansong was furious when he saw the big wolfhound still fast asleep.

He jumped off the bed, rushed over in his slippers, and kicked the large wolfhound twice.

Caught off guard, the large wolfhound whimpered twice in fright at the sudden attack, but remained unconscious.

Seeing this, Crimson Pine kicked the dog twice more, this time with even greater force, making the large wolfhound howl in pain, filling the room with chaos and noise.

……

Meanwhile, under the cover of the pervasive poison gas, Yu Hai hurriedly arrived at the corridor of the underground dock. The dim lights, shrouded in the poison gas, flickered even more dimly, as if they might go out at any moment. The air was filled with the pungent smell of poison gas, making it difficult to breathe. The entire cabin was enveloped in purple poison gas, which added considerable trouble to the Lava Team's capture operation.

At this moment, the members of Team Lava were all preoccupied with the poison gas, coughing and cursing all around, and no one paid any attention to Yu Hai's whereabouts.

However, when Yu Hai arrived at the bottom of the dock, new troubles arose one after another. The passage at the end of the corridor was tightly sealed off by a cold metal door.

Facing the metal door, he pondered for a moment, then quickly took out a Poké Ball and recalled the Weezing that was releasing poison gas.

Then, he quickly threw another Poké Ball, and with a flash of red light, Claydol appeared in front of him.

The psychic clay golem's round body emitted a blue light, and its large eyes flickered with an eerie scarlet. He shouted at the psychic clay golem, "Psychic clay golem, use teleportation to take me to the sea outside..."

"Nian Nian," the psychic clay puppet responded, extending its two cannon muzzles to grab Yu Hai, its body radiating a pale blue psychic light.

The psychic light quickly enveloped Yu Hai, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in the vast ocean outside, where poisonous gas was emanating and brightly lit warships were not far away.

The seawater was icy cold and instantly submerged Yu Hai. He struggled to the surface, immediately ripped off his gas mask, and gasped for breath. The fresh air rushed into his lungs, making him feel refreshed.

He secretly regretted it: If only he had just used the telekinetic clay puppet, he wouldn't have had to search inside the warship for so long.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a Poké Ball from his waist and released Blastoise. Blastoise's shell floated to the surface of the water, splashing up a large spray of water.

He scrambled onto the broad back of the water turtle, his wet clothes clinging to his body, making him very uncomfortable.

He immediately took off his soaking wet clothes and pants and threw them into the sea, even throwing away his soaking wet underwear. Anyway, he had prepared a lot of ordinary clothes to change into, so he didn't care about the waste at the moment.

He patted Blastoise on the head, signaling it to move toward the red dot on the tracker. Blastoise understood his intention and began to swim slowly in the seawater, waving its limbs.

He took a towel out of his backpack and vigorously dried himself. The sea breeze gently blew by, carrying a slight chill, making him shiver slightly.

Then he took out clean clothes from his backpack and put them on, which made him feel much more comfortable and warmer.

After doing all this, he shouted at Gengar, "Gengar, spit out the rock container."

Upon hearing Yu Hai's words, Gengar opened its mouth in the shadows and spat out the rock container.

Yu Hai took the container, carefully picked it up, and meticulously compared the two rock fragments.

He noticed that Butler's rock fragment was much smaller than the one he got from the Lava Team, but a slight smile played on his lips as he thought to himself: Even a small mosquito is still meat, enough to fill Iron Man's teeth.

Just then, Gengar's actions were not yet over. It opened its mouth again and spat out a crystal-clear glass bead. The glass bead shimmered with a charming halo under the moonlight, and it also had a unique pattern of red and black intertwined inside.

He recognized it as a Mega Stone at a glance. Excitedly, he picked it up and opened the panel to see what kind of Pokémon's Mega Stone it was.

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

"Hahaha," Yu Hai said, holding the warm super stone in his hand, his heart filled with surprise.

Unexpectedly, this operation brought such a pleasant surprise, and he burst into laughter, the sound of which seemed slightly eerie on the vast sea.

After laughing, he gradually calmed down. He twisted the jar to open the container holding Groudon's body fragments, slowly reached out, and gently touched the fragments.

His eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation as he pondered: he also wanted to see what kind of panel these two rock fragments could reveal.

Groudon

[Attribute: Ground]

[Gender: None]

【potential:? ? ? 】

【grade:? ? ? 】

[Characteristics: sunshine/? ? ? 】

[Mastered Technique: (Cliffside Sword/???)]

"Tsk, this panel is useless, there's no useful information at all." Yu Hai sighed helplessly, still hoping to get some key information from the "cannot fly" panel.

He saw nothing, which was really frustrating. He irritably resealed the rock container.

He remembered that Flying-type Pokémon, Fishhead, and Rayquaza were all ancient Pokémon.

Recalling the enormous size of these ancient elves, he couldn't help but sigh. It seems that in the ancient times, the elves active in the world were mostly these exceptionally large ones. In that era, they were probably just ordinary elves on land, in the sky, and in the sea.

His thoughts shifted, and he thought of the ancient civilization ruins of Miacha Mountain, where there were three enormous Gengar, Alakazam, and Jigglypuff, all of which were also ancient Pokémon.

He stroked his chin, lost in thought. Perhaps in the ancient times, these elves were just ordinary beings, like the common elves we see today.

But as time passed and years went by, all the elves gradually became smaller. The ordinary elves that were once so ancient have now become legendary rulers, bearing the marks of an ancient era.

Since he couldn't see the potential and level of "cannot fly" on the panel, he guessed that it must have exceeded the limit that the panel could display.

This situation is similar to Gengar's, and it can be considered a unique advantage possessed by these ancient Pokémon with a long history. Having undergone the test of time, they contain too many unknown powers.

"After all, if you live long enough, even a pig can become invincible," Yu Hai muttered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.

In this vast world of elves, time seems to have bestowed upon these ancient elves endless possibilities…
