Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

One month later…

Yu Hai hurried along and finally arrived in the Hoenn region riding Blastoise, heading straight for the Hoenn League headquarters.

"He's here," Hua Yue, who was standing on higher ground, saw Yu Hai getting out of the car at the gate and excitedly came down to inform the others.

At this time, the Hoenn Elite Four consisted of the Dark-type Elite Four member, the Ghost-type Elite Four member, the Ice-type Elite Four member, the Dragon-type Elite Four member, and the Water-type Champion member, Wallace.

Huayue is a man with a roguish style. It is said that Huayue was a delinquent in his previous life. The Hoenn League really does take in all kinds of trainers.

Fleur is a little girl who is one of the Elite Four members. Most of her Pokémon are Ghost-type. She is said to have the ability to communicate with Ghost-type Pokémon, similar to Sabrina's telepathic abilities. She often wins by using unexpected tactics.

Bonnie is not a native of the Hoenn region. She believes that Ice-type Pokémon should come to hot places to train better, so she traveled a long way to the hot Hoenn region to train her Pokémon.

Genji possesses the powerful abilities to wield Dragon-type spirits, and he has dedicated his entire life to the spirits who saved him.

Mikuri is known as the Water Prince, exuding a noble aura. To put it simply, he has long green hair and wears the most flamboyant clothes, no doubt about it.

“You’ve all seen the battle video, right? He has three Champion-level Pokémon, plus the legendary Zapdos that appeared before. He’s a very tough challenger,” Bonnie said, looking at Wallace. After Steven stepped down, Wallace took over the Champion title.

How will their Water-type champion deal with the legendary Zapdos? Will they be able to stop this powerful challenger?

"He's a really strong older brother," Furong said, somewhat troubled. She had also watched Yu Hai's battle video and felt that she couldn't beat that Darkrai.

"Who cares? I'll go test his skills first," Hua Yue laughed, a smile playing on his lips. He didn't care about strength or weakness; since the other party had already kicked down the door, they couldn't possibly admit defeat, or they would lose all face.

"Mickey, there are a lot of fans outside. Is it okay for them to see the result of the challenge?" Genji, the oldest of the five trainers, looked worriedly at the audience. If all five of them lost, it would be a loss for the Hoenn region.

No one knows who spread the news, but Yu Hai, who had successfully challenged the Orange Islands Champion Road, is going to challenge their Hoenn Region Champion Road.

After receiving news of Kikuko's victory, they had ordered that the news not be leaked, but it still got out. Even Mikoli's die-hard fans received the news. It's really a headache!

“Don’t worry about it. Even if you all lose, I won’t lose. I’ll stop him,” Mikoli confidently assured, waving to his fans, which immediately drew enthusiastic cheers from them.

"Tch," Hua Yue was very annoyed by Mikoli's pretentious attitude. But Mikoli was the champion, and it wasn't like he hadn't challenged him before, but he still couldn't beat him in the end. Although Mikoli liked to show off, he still had real strength.

"I'm not going to say anything more, I'll go take a look first," Hua Yue jumped off the stands and went to the arena to wait for the referee to introduce the format of the Road to Champions competition. The format is similar in each region.

As soon as Yu Hai arrived at the venue, he heard a group of people shouting. Turning around, he realized that they were a group of die-hard fans holding up signs with the slogan "Mickey". Even Miss Joey was among them. The fan base is really wide!

After quietly listening to the format of the Champion Road tournament in the Hoenn region, he found it to be similar to that of the Orange Islands. Then he saw Huayue throw out three Dark-type Pokémon: Absol, Cactus, and Vulpix...

He had studied this bad habit of the Elite Four member, who liked to use offensive tactics to overwhelm his opponents in one fell swoop. However, when he sensed that the opponent's Pokémon strength was only at the level of a senior Elite Four member, he immediately lost interest.

He came here with only one purpose: to sweep aside all who disagreed. Since Kikuko had already helped him build momentum, he absolutely had to fight this championship roadshow beautifully, displaying the spirit of an Orange Islands trainer and making his opponents admit defeat wholeheartedly.

"Go, Scizor," Yu Hai threw out Scizor. To counter Dark-type Pokémon, you need a Bug-type Pokémon, and Scizor is a perfect fit.

"Gulp, Scizor? Champion-level?" Hua Yue swallowed hard, staring at Scizor and sensing the unique Champion-level aura emanating from it. He knew he couldn't stop it at all, and all the tactics he had planned were meaningless in the face of absolute power.

"Another Champion-level Pokémon, this guy is something else," Mikuri initially interacted with fans casually, but his eyes narrowed after Yu Hai threw out the Scizor.

Having heard that Yu Hai had already brought out three Champion-level Pokémon—Poliwrath, Slowking, and Darkrai—he could already guess that the Legendary Pokémon Zapdos must also be one. He hadn't expected the opponent to bring out another Champion-level Pokémon, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.

"So powerful, what kind of monster has come to the Orange Islands?" Bonnie bit her lip lightly. The moment she saw the Scizor, she knew that Yu Hai was up to no good.

He sent out a Champion-level Pokémon in the very first match. Will he have any more Champion-level Pokémon in the next four matches? Just how many Champion-level Pokémon does this guy have? He's truly a mysterious man.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Furong's mouth dropped open slightly. She hadn't expected there to be a new Champion-level Pokémon, Scizor. She had heard of the name "Red Flash."

"Absol, Mega Evolve!" Huayue was getting serious, taking out a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve Absol. Otherwise, he wasn't confident in the battle. But what was the other party waiting for? "Isn't your Scizor going to Mega Evolve?"

“There’s no need to deal with you,” Yu Hai shook his head slightly. His opponent wasn’t even a near-champion level, so there was no need for Scizor to Mega Evolve.

"Heh," Hua Yue chuckled lightly. He felt that this guy was even more arrogant than Michael. Was he underestimating the Four Heavenly Kings?

However, he would soon find out that the other party wasn't looking down on him, but simply wasn't interested at all, since the opponent was too weak.

"Absol, Flamethrower!" Huayue tried to test the Scizor, but it died as soon as it tried.

"Too slow," Yu Hai sighed helplessly as he watched Absol's movements, then shouted to Scizor, "Scizor, finish this quickly, use high-speed movement and combo attacks..."

"Swoosh!" Scizor didn't even glance at the incoming Flamethrower, instantly transforming into a streak of red light as it charged toward the Dream Song Cactus beside Absol.

Raising its pincers, it swung them down at the Dream Song Cactus. Under the cultivation method of Light Stone, the Scizor was already very fast, and now it had the Light Metal ability and the speed enhancement of High Speed ​​Movement.

The scyther was like a beam of light, and before Dream Song Cactus could react, it was hit three times in a row, crashing into the energy barrier and losing consciousness.

The initial power of the combo attack is 40. Each time it successfully hits the opponent, the power of the next combo attack will double, with a maximum power of 160. It only takes three consecutive hits to unleash the power of 160 in the combo attack.

However, the Dream Song Cactus is weak against Bug-type attacks. With a Bug-type opponent who has a 4x advantage, it's not surprising that the Dream Song Cactus lost its ability to battle after being hit three times in a row.

Next up is Absol...

"So fast, is that what you call Flash?" Mikuri stared at the Scizor that disappeared in the blink of an eye. Its speed was already invisible to the naked eye. It defeated a Pokémon in the blink of an eye. Wasn't that a bit too fast?

He'd seen champion-level explosive power before, but this was the first time he'd ever seen a Scizor that fast.

boom--

Dust billowed across the battlefield, and explosions rang out incessantly. In the blink of an eye, Absol was knocked into its Mega Evolution state. Before Absol could even catch its breath, another series of slashes came down, and Absol could only faint.

The last Vulture Na was flying in the air, thinking that Scizor couldn't fly. The extremely light Scizor can fly. It quickly flashed behind Vulture Na and slashed down again. Vulture Na fell instantly and could no longer fly.

"Whose turn is it?" Yu Hai retracted his Scizor, which hadn't even started to get serious yet, and looked at the Elite Four in the audience. He wondered who would be in the second match.

"Hey, are you kidding me? This guy is ridiculously strong! I've never heard of him before!" Bonnie sighed, rubbing her forehead in exasperation. After watching Hua Yue's battle, she realized that the Four Heavenly Kings were no match for him; they'd just be easy prey. She complained, "Don't even mention fighting him one by one; even the four of us tied together couldn't beat him..."

“He’s quite famous,” Mikoto, who knew some things about Ukai because of Daigo and had followed Ukai for a while, explained to everyone, “He participated in the Orange League’s Elite Four selection, but lost in the competition for the Elite Four position…”

"No way, he lost in the battle of the Four Heavenly Kings?" Hua Yue returned to the audience seats and, hearing Mikori's account, he wanted to retort, "If the losers are this strong, then the winners must be even stronger..."

“No, not at all,” Genji joined the discussion. He was one of the trainers who had previously supported Kanto and had worked with Lance for a while. He had heard Lance complain about Yukai and explained to everyone, “He participated in the Suzuran Conference before, and at that time he was already a near-champion trainer…”

"For some reason, the league over there repeatedly invited him to fill in for the Four Heavenly Kings, but he refused each time. Nobody knew how strong he was until he started his journey to the championship..."

"I guess it's because of that incident," Mikuri sighed helplessly. He had also heard about Sabrina's defection. Ukai was defeated by Sabrina through cheating, which made her reluctant to fill the vacancy among the Four Heavenly Kings. Perhaps that was the reason.

"What are you all talking about? I don't understand," Furong, the youngest of the Four Heavenly Kings, couldn't understand what kind of riddle everyone was talking about. She was completely in the dark.

"Little Furong, it's your turn to play," Bonnie chuckled, reminding Furong that it was time to go on stage. She had also heard about that incident, which led to Chengdu and Kanto being short of available trainers, and the League had to send Hoenn trainers to provide reinforcements.

"Hmph, they didn't even tell me," Furong stormed off, determined to get to the bottom of things when she returned from the battle.

But Furong returned dejectedly after only two minutes. Her Ghost-type Pokémon, like Xiaoqian's, were completely countered by Darkrai. They were all hypnotized by Dark Hole and killed one by one by Darkrai.

“Little Furong lost, now it’s my turn,” Bonnie said, watching Furong return dejectedly. She couldn’t help but chuckle and pinched Furong’s cheek before walking down in her high heels.

Upon seeing a cold-looking woman standing opposite him, Yu Hai immediately recognized her as Bonnie, the Ice Queen.

"Go, Snow Fairy, Sea Lion, Ice Guardian..."

"Why are they all these weak Pokémon?" Yu Hai sighed, took out a Poké Ball and threw out Lucario. To deal with an Ice-type opponent, he naturally had to use a Fighting-type or Steel-type Lucario.

"What do you mean?" Bonnie saw Yu Hai's sigh and felt that she was being underestimated by him, but he really had the right to say that, so she couldn't really refute him.

She wasn't strong enough, and her words weren't as assertive as before; she wasn't used to this kind of battle...

"Lucario, finish this quickly, use close combat," Yu Hai waved his hand gently, letting Lucario do as it pleased. Suddenly noticing Froslass disappear, he immediately added, "Use Insight on Froslass, then attack..."

Then, he looked up at Genji and Mikoto in the audience. These two were the final appetizers; the previous three weren't even peanuts.

These five people don't even qualify as a proper meal. After finishing the Champion Road, he still needs to find Steven, the former champion of the Hoenn region. Only by fighting against him can he enjoy a true champion battle.
