Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

boom--

Lance slammed his fist on the table. They had arrived at the front line of the battle and set up the Enchantress Gym in Enchantress City as a temporary command post, but Kazuki had not come to report on the latest situation of Team Rocket, or even contact with them had been lost.

He originally intended to trap them like turtles in a jar, but he didn't expect that Yishu had already anticipated this. Anyway, the Rockets' goal had been achieved, so whether Yishu appeared or not was no longer important.

If Yu Hai hadn't analyzed this point, they would still be kept in the dark and completely fooled by the Rockets. And now, the Rockets' last inside man has become A-Ju.

A-Ju's presence here was out of necessity. He was the only remaining member of the Rockets' Elite Four, and his daughter was still in the Rockets' hands, so he had no choice but to obey their orders.

Knowing full well that Yu Hai knew their identities, and yet still sent him to spy on them, the Rockets were clearly treating him as a pawn. When he saw Yu Hai, he thought Yu Hai would expose him, and he was prepared to be arrested.

But Yu Hai didn't expose him. He acted as if nothing had happened, participating in the battle meeting with Lance and the others. He also saw Celebi next to Yu Hai, who was also passing messages to Team Rocket.

A-Ju was unaware that Yu-Hai hadn't exposed him, his purpose being to have him pass on a message to the Rockets, letting them know that Celebi was here, so they could lure out Sakaki.

Meanwhile, they came here to carry out their fishing plan. Xiao Ai and Kona have already gone to Mount Tianqing to summon Ho-Oh again and ask it for help. This time, it involves Ho-Oh's home and the three legendary beasts created by Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh has to come and take a look for both reason and emotion.

Raikou, one of the three sacred beasts, has been contacted. After Yu Hai explained the situation of the humans to Raikou, Raikou went to find Yan Di and Sui Jun, intending to inform them of the humans' purpose.

It was explained that the humans searching for Celebi in the forest were Team Rocket, and that they were all bad guys among humans. Now the League was coming to protect Celebi and, incidentally, to capture those bad guys so that they could bring Celebi over.

Although they had a fake shrine, they still felt it was safer to bring the real shrine with them. With people looking for the shrine everywhere, he felt it was safest to have it by his side.

To take Celebi away from him, you have to get past the real and fake Celebi, the three legendary beasts, and him, the champion trainer.

In the current situation, unless a legendary Pokémon appears and stands on Team Rocket's side, it's simply impossible to take Celebi away from him.

This is why he was able to persuade Raikou, and Raikou was able to persuade Shuijun and Yandi. All three sacred beasts had cooperated with Yu Hai, knew his character, and trusted this human.

Knowing that those vicious humans were searching for Celebi, even the most stubborn Suicune had to consider Celebi's safety and bring Celebi to the Enju Gym, allowing Lance and the others to see the real Celebi.

Looking at Celebi sleeping peacefully in Yu Hai's arms, A-Ju swallowed hard. The Pokémon that Team Rocket leader Giovanni wanted was right in front of him, and Yu Hai was just petting it like a cat, doing nothing at all. It was such a waste.

There are several of the Four Heavenly Kings here, and he is just one of them. He would never dare to launch a sneak attack on Yu Hai to steal Celebi, because people would really die.

The reason Yu Hai was able to successfully ambush him last time was because Yu Hai wanted him to attack, not because he could attack whenever he wanted. Don't get the order of attacks wrong, and don't forget that there are two Champion-level Pokémon hidden in Yu Hai's shadow.

The thought of Team Rocket abandoning him and leaving him to fend for himself in the opposing camp made A-Ju increasingly resentful. He had only just become one of the Elite Four and an Elite Four Trainer. He didn't want to die, much less spend his life in prison.

Since the Rockets are heartless, don't blame him for being unjust. He doesn't want to die with the Rockets, but it's his daughter who will suffer.

Fortunately, he had a trump card to protect his daughter. She was quite capable and held a leadership position on the Rockets, giving her a certain degree of autonomy. He believed she could definitely turn the situation around.

Having made up his mind to make a change, he found Yu Hai's room tonight and quietly slipped inside.

"Is there something you need so late?" Yu Hai held Celebi in his arms. He hadn't slept at all last night. This Celebi was actually Zoroark in disguise. The real Celebi was inside the Poké Ball, as were the three legendary beasts. Surprise attacks should be launched unexpectedly.

The reason for switching Celebi was naturally to prevent Ajuya from stealing Celebi, so Celebi was swapped out.

"Is it too late for me to turn over a new leaf?" A-Ju did not release her spirit, but instead knelt properly on the tatami in front of Yu-Hai.

"What are you thinking?" Yu Hai thought that A-Ju had come to steal Celebi, but he didn't expect that A-Ju had come to betray Team Rocket.

"Is the only option to fight to the death?" A cold glint flashed in A-Ju's eyes as she stared intently at Yu Hai. If Yu Hai didn't capture her here, he would definitely flee far away after leaving the room. Staying here was like having a thorn in his side, and he could be exposed at any moment.

“You’re overthinking it. The fish will die, but the net won’t break,” Yu Hai said with interest, looking at A-Ju. A-Ju was now desperate and couldn’t help but laugh. “You can’t go back to the League, and it’s impossible for the Rockets either. You can only come to the Orange Islands…”

"You?" A-Ju understood. Talking to smart people is that simple. He can't go back to the Rockets, and he can't go back to the league. Now, only Yu Hai can protect him. What should he choose?

The league is definitely prepared this time. The Rockets are bound to sink. What will become of the person who betrayed the Rockets and was a spy for them?

"Tell me, what can you offer me?" Yu Hai said so much because he wanted to hear how A-Ju would betray Team Rocket, what benefits he could gain, and that A-Ju was a trainer with a weakness, so he could control her.

If it were Yishu and Lihua, it would be one thing, but he doesn't even know where their families are, or whether they're orphans. How could he possibly control them?

If my future self is controlled by Team Rocket, it will only be controlling Pokémon, not my family. Orphans don't have families.

"The Rockets want to capture Celebi to change the past and turn the future around. I believe you all know that," A-Ju said, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he had no choice.

After betraying the Rockets, he was rejected by both the legitimate and criminal worlds. Now, only Yu Hai can protect him and his family.

“Tell me something I don’t know,” Yu Hai raised an eyebrow and laughed. It seemed that A-Ju had already thought it through. Those who could be double agents were indeed all talented.

“I know where Giovanni is,” Aju said, looking at Yu Hai. He had learned during the day that the League planned to use Celebi to lure Giovanni, and he knew that the League was looking for Giovanni, who was at the port of Asagi City.

“Very good, you will pretend to have failed in stealing Celebi, and then flee to report this to Giovanni, thus luring Giovanni to bring people to seize Celebi.” Yu Hai had already thought of the luring plan, and now it was just a matter of seeing how determined Giovanni was to want Celebi.

"Then Team Rocket will definitely use a diversionary tactic to lure Lance and the Elite Four away. You can fake your death during this chaotic battle, then lie low near the Diaoyu Islands and wait for news of my return to spread before coming to see me..."

“Okay,” A-Ju thought for a moment and accepted Yu-Hai’s suggestion. He couldn’t accept either side right now, so he had to find another way out.

"Before you fake your death, I don't care what method you use, but I want the heads of two of these four: Ichiki, Athena, Bishas, ​​and Naz." Yu Hai held up two fingers. He had a grudge against all four of them, and this was the perfect opportunity to take care of them all at once.

He'd let Ah Ju deal with the two, and then he'd deal with the other two. He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to kill his enemies.

“Okay,” A-Ju gritted his teeth. He knew this was the true pledge of loyalty. Betraying the Rockets and failing to steal Celebi to lure the enemy didn’t count. Only by offending both the League and the Rockets could he wholeheartedly pledge allegiance to Yu Hai.

Having offended two major powers, Yu Hai was his only remaining option. This was perhaps Yu Hai's true purpose. He accepted his fate; this was probably the end for a double agent—as long as he could survive, that was enough.

“We can begin,” Yu Hai said with a smile as he stood up, took out a Poké Ball, and released a Claydol.

“Let’s begin,” A-Ju said, taking out a Poké Ball and releasing a Toxtricity. The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously issued attack commands to their Pokémon.

boom--

As the two Pokémon's moves collided, Yu Hai's room shattered instantly, even blowing off the roof, immediately alerting the patrol team that was on duty nearby.

When A-Ju failed to land a hit, she immediately released her Crobats to escape. Yu-Hai did not chase after her, but instead covered his mouth and coughed, waiting for Du and the others to arrive.

"Ah Hai? What happened? Are you alright?" Du dug through the rubble of the house and pulled out Yu Hai lying on the ground.

"I'm fine, cough cough, cough cough," Yu Hai's mouth and hands were covered in blood, which was naturally his own blood. He had just bitten his lip; it wasn't the first time he had acted out a self-inflicted injury.

Seeing Yu Hai's terrible condition, everyone rushed over to help. They dragged Yu Hai out and had Miss Joey come over to treat him. They found that Yu Hai was not seriously injured, except that his mouth was cut and he had difficulty breathing due to a severe blow to his chest.

Faced with everyone's questions, Yu Hai rested for a moment before slowly recounting, "I don't know who it was. I was sleeping soundly at night when I suddenly heard an explosion. When I woke up, I was buried under the rubble..."

"Luckily, I placed a Psychic Claydot next to me before going to sleep, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. The person who attacked me definitely wanted to steal Celebi, but thankfully they didn't succeed..."

"Rabi Rabi!" Celebi emerged from its Poké Ball and, seeing that Yu Hai was injured, immediately tried to heal him with its life energy.

"It's alright, just minor injuries, you'll recover quickly," Yu Hai said with a smile, grabbing Celebi's waving hands to stop him from using his life energy, so that he wouldn't run out of energy and have to go to the Lake of Life to replenish it.

"Investigate! How could the enemy have sneaked into this place? Are all of you patrolling useless?" Du saw Yu Hai injured and looked at the elite trainers he had brought. How were these people patrolling? The enemy had even infiltrated the room and they hadn't noticed.

“Yes, Champion Watari,” the patrolling men quickly dispersed to investigate anything unusual that night.

"Who hasn't arrived?" Shiba looked around. There were three Heavenly Kings here, plus Aju, making four, plus the guild master, Songye.

The trainer who managed to get into Yu Hai's room must be a master. If they didn't come in from the outside, then it must have been an inside job.

"A-Ju hasn't come. Could it be A-Ju?" Du took out his phone to call A-Ju, but found that the call couldn't be connected. He then asked the patrol team to look for A-Ju, but they searched the entire Enju Dojo and still couldn't find her.

It is now confirmed that the trainer who attacked Yu Hai was A-Ju, the Poison-type Elite Four member, who is also a Team Rocket mole hidden among the Elite Four.

"Damn it, it's actually A-Ju," Du never expected that the undercover agent was A-Ju. It seems that the two people who went on the field mission were both undercover agents of Team Rocket. There was no coincidence.

But Aju still has a gym and family in Fuchsia City. How could Aju dare to betray the League? He immediately called Officer Jenny in Fuchsia City, asking her to send police and trainers to Fuchsia Gym to control Aju's family...

When Officer Jenny arrived at the Scarlet Gym, the gym was completely empty except for a few of the gym's employees, all of whom were under control. None of Akane's relatives were there.

Before her daughter was taken into custody by the Rockets, Ah Ju had already arranged for her family to be transferred. How could the league possibly catch Ah Ju's family?

Ah-Jie, who failed in his attempt to seize the rabbi, was also in a sorry state. His clothes were tattered and his arms were bleeding, though they were all just superficial injuries.

If it weren't for the need to elicit sympathy and highlight his failed attempt to steal Celebi and his escape from the four Elite Four trainers, he wouldn't have needed to harm himself like this.

When he arrived at the port of Asagi City, on the luxury cruise ship where Team Rocket was docked, and met their leader Giovanni, this was the miserable state he was in.

"Boss, Celebi is on Yu Hai. I failed to steal it," A-Ju said, sitting on the ground as professional medical staff came to treat her wounds. She also reported the stealing process to Sakaki.

"Are you sure it's really a Celebi?" Giovanni held a glass of red wine, and Makoto stood beside him, unconcerned about Aki's unauthorized decision. It would be better if it succeeded, but it wouldn't matter if it didn't.

It's a bit of a shame that A-Ju, the Rockets' only thorn in their side, has now been exposed, but it was also expected.

They outmaneuvered Yu Hai, but how could the other side possibly keep an undercover agent by their side? It was only a matter of time before A-Ju was exposed...

"Yes, boss. Yu Hai knows Celebi. He found Celebi through the three legendary beasts. When the League heard that Team Rocket was looking for Celebi, they found Celebi and protected it in advance..."

"Heh, good, saves us the trouble of searching," Giovanni downed his glass of red wine in one gulp, then instructed Makoto, "Gather all Team Rocket executives. I'm going to launch a full-scale attack on Enchantress City and seize Celebi..."

"Boss, there's Wataru, the champion, in Enju City. Should we try to get rid of him?" Masato looked at his team's strength, realizing they had no advantage against the League.

Including Champion Akiko and Champion Trainer Yukai, there are three League Champions on the League side. They only have Giovanni as a Champion Trainer. How can they snatch Celebi from the hands of three Champions?

“It’s no use, these little tricks won’t fool them, but we can’t do nothing about it,” Giovanni thought for a moment, then continued to instruct, “Have the Team Rocket teams in other cities create chaos to draw our fire, and once the Elite Four are lured away, we’ll launch a full-scale attack on Enishi City…”

“Okay, boss,” Zhenniao looked at the tablet in his hand. Although their power had shrunk considerably, they still had Team Rocket members active in many cities, so it wouldn’t be a problem for them to cause some disturbances in the cities.

“Alright, A-Ju, go and rest first. You’ll join us later.” Sakaki flipped his chair over, looking at the brightly lit port. No one could see the expression on his face.

“Yes, boss,” A-Ju and the other medical staff finished treating the wounds and got up to leave Sakaki’s office to look for her daughter.

He had to tell his daughter some things, instructing her to take advantage of the chaos to escape and hide, and to go find her once he was safe...
