Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

"Come back, Darkrai." Darkrai's face was solemn. He slowly took out the Poké Ball. A red light flashed and Darkrai was taken back.

At this moment, he felt somewhat helpless. Facing this agile insect that was extremely restrained against Darkrai, he racked his brains but could not come up with an effective way to break the deadlock.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to change to a Pokémon with a large-scale attack to break the troublesome speed advantage of the Agile Bug.

Since it is impossible to slow down the lightning speed of the Agile Bugs, use large-scale attacks to cover the entire battlefield, leaving the Agile Bugs nowhere to hide and no room to evade.

"It appeared! Ukai's Agility Bug forced Darko to reclaim Darkrai! This is the first time Darko has participated in the competition!"

The host's voice trembled with excitement. "What kind of Pokémon will Contestant Darko send out next? It's really exciting!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Darko, with curiosity and expectation in their eyes. Ukai was the first player in this competition to force Darko to take back Darkrai and send out a second Pokémon.

The audience was not only shocked by Ukai's feat, but also amazed at the fact that Ukai successfully forced back the powerful Darkrai with just an agile bug. In their eyes, Ukai was so powerful that they admired him sincerely.

Suddenly, a biting cold wind blew up without warning, carrying snowflakes that fluttered down.

Everyone was full of doubts. It was a hot summer now, how could snowflakes appear? Just when everyone was puzzled, a few clear and high-pitched chirps broke the doubts.

"Tsk, tsk..."

A deep blue elf exuding an icy aura slowly appeared in a dazzling red light, and its high-pitched cry echoed throughout the entire arena.

The feathers of this flying elf are extremely beautiful, showing a transparent blue color, as if they were carved from the purest ice and snow, sparkling with a charming crystal luster under the sunlight.

"What is this?" The host stared at the sudden appearance of this legendary elf with eyes wide open, speechless with shock. The entire venue fell into silence, everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of this legendary elf.

After several breaths, the venue erupted in deafening cheers, so loud that it seemed to overturn the entire venue.

"It's Articuno! Contestant Darko's second Pokémon is actually Articuno!" The host was so excited that he held the microphone tightly with his hands, so much so that the three words "Articuno" were shouted out with a broken voice, his voice full of uncontrollable excitement and excitement.

"This is simply nonsense! How could that old fool hand over such a dangerous Pokémon to this kid!" President Damalanchi was so angry that his face turned red. The moment he saw Articuno appear, he excitedly stood up from the soft sofa.

"President, I guess you gave him Articuno to protect himself because you were worried that he would encounter danger during his travels. Who would have thought that he would actually send Articuno out in the competition?" Shirona also stood up, her eyes fixed on the field, her expression solemn.

This Articuno is not an ordinary elf. Even someone as powerful as her needs to take Articuno seriously, let alone these contestants.

She looked at Yu Hai who was fighting against Darko, and couldn't help but worry for this kid. She wondered if Yu Hai had the ability to deal with the methods of Pokémon like Articuno.

After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but suggest to the president, "President, do you want me to stop the game? This will avoid unnecessary risks."

"No need." President Damalanqi frowned, waved gently to Shirona, and sat back on the sofa. While adjusting his sleeves, he said, "Didn't you see that the boy didn't even stop the game? I don't know what he's relying on."

He looked towards the competition arena, narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued, "The competition area is protected by an energy barrier, so the contestants won't have any major safety issues. This is a good opportunity to test the waters of that Ukai kid."

The atmosphere in the audience seats of the main venue was as lively as the crackling fireworks. The audience members were so excited when they saw Articuno appear that their blood boiled.

Everyone was talking to each other excitedly, their faces filled with irrepressible excitement. They had never expected that they would have the opportunity to witness two legendary elves participating in a regional competition.

For them, it was totally worth it to come to the scene to watch the game, and the trip was well worth it.

"Articuno? What should Brother Hai do? Can he defeat it?" Xiaozhi was so nervous that he clenched his fists tightly, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.

He stared at the arena intently with worry in his eyes. He didn't expect that Darko actually had a second divine beast hidden. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if it was him standing on the arena facing Articuno at this moment, how should he deal with it?

"Ah Hai is in danger." Xiao Gang sighed softly and shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "That's Articuno. The power of the blizzard spread unconsciously by Articuno alone cannot be underestimated. I wonder how Agile Bug will deal with it."

"Player Darko takes back Darkrai, and Bug will attack first. The game continues!" The referee was also shocked by the appearance of Articuno, but he knew his responsibilities well.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and announced in a loud voice that the game would continue.

"Agile Bug, take the baton!" Yu Hai heard the referee announce that the game would continue, and quickly changed the order of the reserve Pokémon's appearance, while shouting loudly for Agile Bug to come back.

Facing this Articuno whose strength reached the quasi-champion level, he knew very well that Agile Bug knew it could not defeat it without even fighting.

Just the appearance of Articuno turned the entire arena into ice and snow. Such an environment is a huge obstacle for Bugs. Bug-type Pokémon are naturally afraid of the cold, and it becomes very difficult for them to move in such a harsh environment.

He pondered in his heart, wondering if Darko understood this. If Darkrai had used ice-type moves to deal with the Agile Bug, perhaps he could have put up a fight. Unfortunately, the other party simply chose to take Darkrai back and gave in.

"Minmin." Upon hearing Yu Hai's command, the Agile Bug transformed into a red light without hesitation and instantly returned to the Poké Ball on Yu Hai's waist.

At the same time, the second Poké Ball opened automatically, and a beam of extremely dazzling red light shot up into the sky. In the blizzard flying all over the sky, this beam of red light was particularly eye-catching.

Seeing the red light shooting straight up into the sky, the host excitedly shouted out, his voice filled with curiosity and excitement, echoing throughout the arena through the loudspeaker: "Contestant Yu Hai has chosen to change his Pokémon. Which Pokémon will Yu Hai choose?"

"Boom, boom, boom--"

However, what responded to the host was not the appearance of a new elf, but a rumbling thunder, which crackled in the dark clouds piled up in the sky, making people's eardrums hurt.

Everyone tilted their heads up, eager to see the spirit released by Yu Hai, but there was nothing in front of them except the sky that was quickly filled with dark clouds.

Golden arcs of electricity flickered continuously in the dark clouds, like nimble golden pythons, illuminating the faces of the audience, who were filled with tension, surprise, shock, and confusion.

"Chi, chi!" A loud and clear cry, like a sharp blade cutting through the dull air, came from the inky black clouds.

Then, a golden bird's head slowly emerged from the dark clouds. The bird's head had smooth lines, and its golden feathers stood upright. Its eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring closely at the Articuno below, issuing a silent provocation to its opponent.

"Boom, boom, boom--"

Thunder roared again, and the moment the Lightning Bird appeared, the raging blizzard came to an abrupt end, replaced by a torrential downpour, with raindrops as big as beans instantly covering the entire stadium.

The weather effect created by Articuno was snatched away by Zapdos, and the arena has now become Zapdos's home court.

"boom--"

Seeing Zapdos' iconic golden head peeking out from the dark clouds, the host was so excited that his whole body was shaking, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "It's Zapdos! The Pokémon that Ukai swapped out is actually Zapdos! Incredible, absolutely incredible!"

"Will this game be a battle between divine beasts?" The host's voice trembled noticeably, expressing a mixture of extreme excitement and shock.

There is no way. It is hard for anyone not to be excited in such a situation when facing two legendary elves about to fight.

These are two legendary Pokémon, each carrying the desires and fantasies of countless trainers. Now that they appear on the field at the same time, how can we not get excited!

The moment he saw the Zapdos, President Damalanchi's originally relaxed body suddenly shook, and he stood up from his seat again.

His eyes were fixed on the Zapdos in the sky, his eyes full of disbelief, and a thought kept circling in his mind: How could this kid Yu Hai release the Zapdos?

No, it should be how could this kid Yu Hai have a lightning bird?

He opened his mouth and found himself speechless in surprise. He originally thought that Yu Hai was just a slightly stronger Elite Four trainer, and that being able to reach the level of the Four Elite Four was already his limit. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Yu Hai took out the Zapdos, and the situation changed.

"Zapdos? Interesting, very interesting." Sirona stood up again, her eyes full of excitement and curiosity. She never thought that Ukai would have a Zapdos.

Chairman Damalanchi mentioned that Ukai was an orphan, without a strong family background to support him. So where did Ukai get his Zapdos from? Did he capture and raise it himself?

It is easy to explain why Darko owns Articuno. After all, Darko has the support of his family, and the family has enough strength and courage to use Articuno to protect Darko.

But what about Yu Hai? He was alone, and the origins of this lightning bird made her more curious.

In the audience seats of the main venue, the moment they saw the Zapdos appear, all the audience were cast under a freezing spell. They were so shocked that they sat there in a daze, speechless for a long time.

After all, two legendary elves, nicknamed "Three Stupid Birds", are about to fight each other. They have never seen each other before. Now they can witness such a once-in-a-lifetime duel with their own eyes. Everyone feels that this time they will be able to feast their eyes.

"Gudong, meow." Meow Meow swallowed secretly in surprise, his eyes widened, and he thought to himself: There is a Zapdos in the sea of ​​instant noodles!

It recalled that it wanted to rob Yu Hai last time. Isn't this just looking for trouble?

Thinking of this, it couldn't help but shudder.

"Gudong, gudong..."

Immediately afterwards, two consecutive sounds of swallowing saliva were clearly heard on both sides of Meow Meow. Kojiro and Musashi were also shocked by the scene before them and were speechless.

Their eyes were wide open, their faces were filled with fear, their backs were already soaked with sweat, and their clothes were tightly stuck to their bodies.

It was not until this moment that they truly realized that the previous act of robbing Yu Hai was like walking on the gates of hell. If they were not careful, the consequences would be disastrous.

"How awesome! Is that really Zapdos? Did Brother Hai capture Zapdos?" Xiaozhi's eyes lit up with excitement. He rubbed his eyes hard, fearing that he had seen it wrong.

Then, he gently shook Xiaogang, who was already stunned beside him, his voice full of surprise and confusion.

"Yes, it is indeed Zapdos." Xiaogang nodded slightly, his eyes never leaving the Zapdos in the sky.

Thinking back to the days they spent with Yu Hai, they hadn't even realized that Yu Hai was hiding such a powerful Zapdos. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: This guy is really good at hiding it!

"Brother, is this true?" Shinji stared blankly at the Zapdos soaring in the sky, muttering to himself.

His expression, like everyone else's, was filled with shock and disbelief. He kept wondering: Is this really a Pokémon that an ordinary trainer can capture? With Zapdos being so powerful, could an ordinary trainer defeat it in battle?

If you can't defeat Zapdos in battle, how can you capture Zapdos?

Could it be... A thought suddenly flashed through Shinji's mind, and he thought of "bond".

Perhaps, only by establishing a deep friendship with the elves can you conquer these powerful legendary elves!

"It's true." Lei Si secretly clenched his fists, and a complex look flashed in his eyes. He knew in his heart that the strength of Zapdos was much stronger than his own Electabuzz. They were not opponents of the same level at all.

He felt a pang of fear when he thought that if it weren't for Darko's Articuno, forcing Yu Hai to take out the Zapdos, the Zapdos might be used against him.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. He originally thought that he had made careful preparations for this competition for three years and that it should be foolproof.

But now it seems that I was too naive. I didn't expect that there are people in this world who are even crazier than me, who can even successfully capture the Zapdos. Compared with such a person, my previous efforts seem to be not enough!
