Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

On a cruise ship, Yu Hai and Dun Mei are on vacation; their destination is Shakan Islands...

After a few months of sea fishing in front of the fishing dojo, he got a little tired of it and decided to go wild fishing in other places. Atsumi wanted to go with him.

However, only half a month after the two left, the Xia Gan Dojo called Dunmei, saying that they had something to discuss with Yuhai and needed to find a time to talk in person, as it was inconvenient to discuss it over the phone.

In response, Yu Hai had no choice but to go back with Dun Mei. He didn't know what Dun Mei's family wanted to talk to him about, whether it was about marriage. This made him think for a long time.

At their current age, isn't it too early for them to get married? At this time in their previous life, they probably didn't even know where they were working, let alone getting married.

Besides the speculation about marriage, he considered several other possibilities, but found that none of them were as likely as marriage, so he stopped thinking about it. He figured that when they arrived at the Xiagan Dojo, they would naturally find out why they wanted to see him, and that they would only tell him in person...

As the cruise ship arrived, they disembarked at the port of Chagan Island in the evening. The old butler picked them up by car, just in time for the Chagan Dojo's dinner.

Looking at the old butler now, Yu Hai couldn't help but be cautious. This was the most deeply hidden sixth brother. Fortunately, he was one of their own. As long as they didn't interfere with him, everyone could live in peace.

Before long, the car arrived at the Xiagan Dojo, and Yu and Hai went straight to the restaurant. Dunmei's father and mother, as well as her stinky younger brother Ada, were there, but Dunmei's grandfather was not there.

"Come and sit down, we've been waiting for you," Dunmei's mother said with a smile, pulling Dunmei to sit down at the dining table, where the bowls and chopsticks were already prepared.

Yu Hai sat down next to Dun Mei, picked up his chopsticks and asked Dun Mei's father, "Master, what is it that requires a face-to-face discussion?"

“I don’t know about this either. After you finish eating, go to the lake in the backyard and find the old man yourself,” Atsumi’s father shook his head gently. He had been at the dojo the whole time, responsible for teaching Ada how to manage the dojo, and he didn’t know anything about Atsumi’s grandfather.

“Okay,” Yu Hai nodded gently and ate his meal in silence. Only Ada would ask him questions from time to time, and he would only answer the questions he could.

Ada wanted to challenge him, but he had to go find Grandpa Dunmei after dinner, so they could only wait until he came back.

Dunmei was also being bombarded with questions by her mother, who seemed to be whispering something to her, and would occasionally glance at Yuhai.

Yu Hai, their prospective son-in-law, has already been reserved by their family. Now all that's left is to hold the wedding. In fact, preparations can begin now. Preparing for a wedding takes a long time; it can't be done in less than a year or six months.

"I'm full. I'm going to the backyard now," Yu Hai gently put down his chopsticks and bowl, informed Dunmei and the others, and then got up and left the restaurant to go to the backyard to find Dunmei's grandfather.

When he arrived at the backyard, the setting sun still lingered on the horizon, illuminating the golden tangerines covering the mountainside. The entire mountain was covered with tangerines; it truly was a beautiful fruit-growing hill.

“Xiao Hai is here,” Grandpa Dunmei said without turning around. He knew it was Yu Hai, and continued to hold his fishing rod, staring at the calm lake.

"I'm here. What do you need to discuss in person?" Yu Hai picked up the fishing rod next to him, sat down next to Grandpa Dunmei, took the bait from Grandpa Dunmei, and cast the line without any hesitation, just like he was at home.

"Xiao Hai, the Orange League is a bit short-handed. The Rockets' counterattack was too fierce, and they've suffered a lot of casualties. Many of the Elite Four are injured, and even Champion Yuji is injured. They want to ask me if you should go and help..."

"Just for this?" Yu Hai looked at Grandpa Dunmei speechlessly. If this was the only thing they needed to discuss in person, wasn't that a bit too boring?

He knew that the Orange League was in dire straits, and even the deeply hidden A-Ping was being hunted by the League, which showed just how much effort the League had put into annihilating Team Rocket.

Even A-Ping's branch was besieged, which shows that Team Rocket in Chengdu and Kanto is getting weaker and weaker. They can't even take care of the Orange Islands. Team Rocket headquarters is not far from collapsing and disbanding.

Not long ago, there were reports of a massive rampage of legendary Pokémon in the North Sea of ​​the Hoenn region and the West Sea of ​​the Johto region. Rayquaza had to step in to stop the rampaging Flying-type Pokémon and Fishhead.

The League did not release the final investigation results, but it is easy to guess that Team Aqua was involved, which is why the Elite Four of the Hoenn region had to withdraw to defend the Hoenn region and prevent Team Aqua from causing trouble again.

"What do you think it is?" Grandpa Dunmei was also puzzled. His purpose in calling Yu Hai over was to persuade him to contribute to the alliance. It was indeed impossible to explain things clearly over the phone.

"It's nothing," Yu Hai said with an awkward smile. He thought it was about the wedding. As an orphan, he certainly couldn't handle it. There were too many troublesome things and too many trivial matters involved in a wedding. He didn't know the local customs of the Orange Islands, nor did he have enough manpower to handle the matter.

If a wedding really has to be held, then the matter can only be handled by Xia Gan Dojo, and he'll be happy to have some free time.

But he was more concerned about something else now. They were calling him over, "What are you going there for? Have you received any news from your side?"

“Go and fill in the vacancy of the Four Heavenly Kings, and replace one of them with someone else,” Grandpa Dunmei didn’t care about Yu Hai’s surprise. This kid had too many tricks up his sleeve, and who knew what the other was thinking.

"Who should we replace?" Yu Hai asked when he heard that one of the Four Heavenly Kings was injured. Could it be that someone was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, and he was the one who had to fill in?

He no longer cares about the mere four Heavenly Kings positions. Even if he were to fill a vacancy, he wouldn't bother to go or even glance at that menial job.

"Xiaoqian, the granddaughter of Champion Kikuko, is said to be going back to Kanto to fill a spot among the Four Heavenly Kings," Grandpa Atsumi had only heard about it. He didn't know Kikuko's intention in transferring her granddaughter away. He guessed that only that old woman knew.

"Xiaoqian to fill the gap?" Yu Hai instantly understood Xiaoqian's purpose in returning. After all, Xiaoqian served as one of the Four Heavenly Kings to maintain the balance between the Alliance and the Orange Islands.

Now that the Orange Alliance's champion four-king system has stabilized, Xiaoqian's purpose is diminishing. It would be better to send this expert back to help Chengdu and Guandu share the pressure.

The decision to recall Xiaoqian was probably partly influenced by Du, who knew how busy Du had been lately, barely eating or sleeping. Being a champion was truly an exhausting job.

"I'll pass on the replacement king, I'm not going," Yu Hai said, pulling himself out of his thoughts and clearly refusing Grandpa Dunmei's offer.

"You little rascal," Grandpa Dunmei said, having already expected Yu Hai's refusal.

He was aware of the fact that the Rockets had infiltrated the ranks of the "Four Heavenly Kings." This matter had caused quite a stir among their group of old men, who all laughed at the league's balancing act, arguing that it was actually aiding the Rockets in their own way.

He supported his son-in-law's refusal, but the alliance's purpose in contacting him was to have him do more ideological work with Yu Hai. He couldn't refuse the request from his superiors, as the Orange Alliance was desperately short of combat oxen and horses.

"What? Do they want to force us to buy or sell?" Yu Hai asked, seeing that Grandpa Dunmei seemed to have something difficult to say. Had his refusal put the old man in a difficult position?

"No, they're just putting pressure on me," Grandpa Dunmei said with a wry smile, explaining their thinking. He was the lobbyist they had brought in to persuade Yu Hai to fill the vacancy among the Four Heavenly Kings.

“I see. Filling in isn’t a bad idea. Forget about the Four Heavenly Kings. If you’re going to do it, do it like a champion,” Yu Hai smiled. He didn’t want to make things difficult for the old man. Playing the emotional card was the right move.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely refuse without hesitation, and wouldn't even bother to say a few more words. But if it were Grandpa Dunmei, he could chat with him for a while longer.

"Such a big mouth. If you want to be a champion, you have to beat the champion first," Grandpa Dunmei smiled helplessly and shook his head slightly. He felt that the championship position was impossible. That position belonged to Yuuji, and Yuuji was doing a good job. The league would never agree to replace him.

"It's not impossible, it's just that I don't know if the alliance will change the personnel," Yu Hai said without holding back. Since the alliance could persuade Grandpa Dunmei to invite someone, he didn't want to make things difficult for the old man...

If it's too difficult, then let's not do it...

"Xiao Hai, this is a crucial moment for the league to besiege the Rockets. The league won't change coaches at the last minute," Grandpa Dunmei sighed softly, advising Yu Hai to give up the idea. Actually, the Four Heavenly Kings are not bad, there is no need to be a champion.

“I understand,” Yu Hai said, taking out a bottle of old wine from his backpack. It was the bottle that Xiao Ying’s grandfather had given him, and today he was finally going to drink it.

"This is a fine wine, rarely seen on the market. Which old sailor gave it to you?" Grandpa Dunmei glanced at the bottle and was immediately drawn to it.

"Is this bottle of wine very expensive?" Yu Hai looked at the broken and dirty bottle and thought it was a piece of junk wine that an old drunkard didn't want.

"It's more than just expensive; this bottle of wine is at least forty years old. The person who gave you this wine is really generous," Grandpa Dunmei said, taking the glass and gently sniffing it. The aroma of the wine reminded him of his youth as a sailor at sea.

He used to drink this kind of wine often when he was a sailor, but unfortunately, times have changed and the factory that produced it is no longer around, so the wine has become increasingly rare. He had almost forgotten the taste of it when he was young, but Yu Hai reminded him of it again.

“Since you like it so much, I’ll give it to you,” Yu Hai said, raising his glass as well. He exchanged a glance with Grandpa Dunmei, and the two smiled at each other before drinking the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

"Good wine," Grandpa Dunmei said, smacking his lips after finishing his drink. He looked at the bottle, wanting to drink more, but he had important business to attend to, so he held back.

"Please give this Mega Stone to Xiaomei for me," Yu Hai said, taking out a Key Stone Bracer and a Mega Stone Belt, which contained a complete set of Mega Stones. Consider it a gift for Dunmei before he left!

"What are you doing?" Grandpa Dunmei recognized Super Stone and didn't understand what Yu Hai was going to do.

"Didn't you say that if you want to be a champion, you have to defeat the champion first?" Yu Hai looked up at Super Stone, smiled, and flashed a bright white smile at Grandpa Dunmei. "Wait for my good news!"

He wants to challenge for the championship. Why can't he sit in that position that Yuuji is in? He doesn't want to fill any of the Four Heavenly Kings' vacancy; he wants to be the champion.

"Good lad, you have ambition," Grandpa Dunmei said, looking at the Mega Stone, which he guessed was Blastoise's color. He then looked up at Yu Hai's departing figure and couldn't help but laugh.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble this kid will cause, so he can benefit from it, after all, he's their son-in-law.

……

Yu Hai left quietly without notifying anyone. His purpose was not only to challenge the Orange Alliance, but also to trample other regions underfoot. He decided to handle this potentially offensive task alone.

As long as he completes the path to the championship, even if he is not the champion, he is already the champion.

If he doesn't take the championship, whoever does will probably feel the chair is too hot to sit on.

The champion trainers of the Orange League should be Yuji, the Dragon-type champion; Ying, the Fighting-type champion; Dan, the Ground-type champion; Qian, the Ghost-type champion; and Yi, the Water-type champion.

Dragon, Fighting, Ground, Ghost, Water...

He had already figured out how to deal with these people and which six Pokémon to use to challenge the Champion Road. He immediately took out his phone and called Xiao Ying.

After the call connected, he said, "Xiaoying, I'm coming to Citrus Island. Tell Yuji to get ready..."

"Brother Hai? You're here to fill the vacancy of the Four Heavenly Kings?" Xiao Ying was a little surprised when he received Yu Hai's call. He was initially overjoyed to hear that the Orange Alliance planned to have Yu Hai fill the vacancy, as the two brothers could finally fight side by side.

"No, I'm here to challenge the Road to the Championship," Yu Hai smiled and hung up the phone. Since he was going to challenge the Road to the Championship, he would start with the Orange League and fight his way to the top.

He also needed to make arrangements for Aping's affairs, so he immediately took out his phone and dialed. Aping did not answer the phone the first time, but after a short while, Aping called back.

"Boss, what's up? Make it quick..."

“Your mission is complete. Let go of what you need to let go of and fake your death to escape.” Yu Hai looked at the dark sea. He was now on the beach. His identity as an undercover agent for Team Rocket was no longer useful to him. It was better to leave Team Rocket as soon as possible.

With the league relentlessly attacking them, the Rockets can no longer afford to worry about the Orange Islands. They will definitely be gradually eliminated, and once the league becomes the champion, it will surely eradicate the Rockets' last remaining foothold.

By then, there will be no place for the Rockets to hide. What can Giovanni, the commander who has nothing left, do? What can he still do?

Once he has widespread surveillance and Rotom intelligent Pokémon, not only will Team Rocket have nowhere to hide, but even criminals will have no room to survive. At that time, there will be no more trouble in the Pokémon world.

"Received, boss. I'm planning to do that soon," A-Ping said, glancing around for surveillance before continuing, "Team Rocket has ordered us officers to gather elite personnel and head to the Chengdu area. It seems they're planning to do something big."

"Don't worry about it, the league will handle it. No matter what the Rockets do, they won't succeed," Yu Hai laughed easily, because the league was more secretive than anyone else.

The league must have contingency plans for every comeback the Rockets can come up with. No matter what the Rockets do, they can't defeat the league, whether it's a superhuman feat or time travel.

The boy who slays the dragon eventually becomes the dragon himself. Who knows if the league will be like the previous Rockets? Since the league can change the world, it's not as simple as it seems.

This is also why he was determined to join the league. As long as he is one of the league's own people, the league will not use the same methods used against the Rockets to deal with him, one of its own.

If the alliance reaches the point of resorting to extreme measures against its own people, it is also the point at which the alliance is about to disintegrate, so he is not worried at all that the alliance will lose.

“Yes, boss,” A-Ping had previously wanted to evacuate with Team Rocket to the Chengdu area to gather intelligence on their next move.

Since his boss didn't need him to do that, he wouldn't risk his life anymore. After hanging up the phone, he found a substitute to die in his place.

He had made many preparations for this moment of feigned death to escape. A substitute willing to die in his place was already prepared. In the underworld, human life is the least valuable thing...
