As a trainer, he has the rain trait

The Young Phoenix Cup was in full swing, but no one knew that there was a force plotting something in secret.

Two hundred kilometers east of Kyoto, a clandestine organization lurks on the seabed. Their underwater base, a dark and eerie fortress, is where a hidden conspiracy quietly brews.

In a secret room deep within the base, the light flickered, illuminating several gloomy faces. These individuals, all core members of the Floating Sea Crowd, were gathered to discuss something.

The leader was tall and strong, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, and exuding a powerful aura.

This person said in a deep voice: "Everyone is here!"

Across from him sat a stern-faced man who frowned and said, "Are all the people here? I understand White Tiger not coming if he's far away, but why isn't Suzaku coming either?"

"Jiao Mu Jiao, explain to the Xuanwu Star Envoy."

"Yes!" A burly man bowed slightly.

"The White Tiger Palace is indeed too far away to participate in this discussion. The Suzaku Palace didn't send anyone because a new force has emerged in the south: the Evil Valley, which is vying for our Floating Sea Clan's territory. The Suzaku Star Envoy is stationed at the southern base and has no time to come."

Xuanwu snorted coldly, "Evil Valley, it sounds low-class. How could Suzaku not be able to solve it?"

The leading Qinglong shook his head, "The Evil Valley must have been supported and is quite powerful."

"Support? Do you know who it is?"

"Probably Team Rocket."

Xuanwu slammed the table in anger, "Team Rocket has already occupied the territory of two alliances, and they still want to steal our meat?"

"Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."

Xuanwu thought for a moment, "Xu Ri Shu!"

A short man with a sly look in his eyes stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I'm here!"

"Let Dou and Niu go south and make sure to drive the Evil Valley out."

"Xu Ri Shu has received the order!"

The short Xu Ri Shu retreated and the room returned to silence. Qinglong and Xuanwu did not mention why they did not kill all the people in the Evil Valley, but just drove them away.

The reason is very simple. The four of them are the strongest among the Fukai Clan, but they are only at the top level. They cannot beat Itaki from the Rocket Team.

After a moment's silence, Qinglong narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly spoke, "Everyone, the Phoenix Cup is about to end. This is a great opportunity. The Pokémon of those contestants are all top-notch talents. If we get them, whether we sell them or use them for brainwashing, they will be excellent."

Xuanwu nodded slightly and said, "Qinglong is right. This time, the Phoenix Cup is full of talented people. However, we need to plan our actions carefully. After all, the Phoenix Cup has attracted many powerful top trainers. If we are not careful, we may suffer heavy losses."

Jiao Mujiao frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "We don't have enough manpower for this operation, do we? Most of these players are under the protection of their division commanders, so we probably can't act separately."

Xu Rishu's eyes rolled and he said sharply, "Then just choose one target to ensure that there is no risk."

Jiao Mujiao nodded. "That's fine, but who should we choose as our target?"

Qinglong nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, the choice of target is crucial. We need a target that has powerful Pokémon but is also relatively easy to obtain."

"I think we can start with the players from smaller trainer groups. They might be relatively weaker, and their security measures might not be as strict as those of larger groups," Hollow Sun Rat suggested sharply.

Jiaomu Jiao shook his head and retorted, "No, those Pokémon from small teams are easy to snatch, but their quality may not meet our needs. We should focus on those powerful large teams."

Qinglong nodded slightly and said, "What Jiaomu Jiao said makes sense. We need to find a target whose Pokémon is powerful and at the same time, there are opportunities for us to exploit."

Xuanwu pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I do have a suggestion!"

"you say!"

"Jingchu University! As one of the nine great universities, their players' Pokémon must meet the requirements! And this year's class is outstanding, with three of them occupying spots in the top sixteen!"

Qinglong thought for a moment and nodded, "Sure! Since that old fellow Mei Chengling isn't here, we can handle the Jingchu University team!"

Jiao Mujiao reminded him, "According to the information I've gathered, there are two special students among the contestants from Jingchu University!"

"The first one is called Zhilin. His parents are international patrol officers and participated in the operation to capture us. His Pokémon is a Thunder Dragon with extremely strong dragon bloodline. He is suspected of mastering a Mega Evolution. He is not very effective in brainwashing or selling, so his value is quite low. The other one is called Zhuyu. His parents are also international patrol officers, but they are deceased, killed by the White Tiger Star User. His Pokémon is a Wind Fairy, which is quite valuable."

Xuanwu sneered, "Then we should choose them. This is a perfect opportunity for revenge."

A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the Void Rat, and he said, "This Electric Dragon is very valuable. If we catch it and use it as a stud, it can hatch many Pokémon with good talents."

Qinglong made the final decision, saying, "That's settled. Targeting Jingchu University is indeed relatively easy. Add to that the element of revenge, and we can't let them go."

Jiao Mujiao, however, showed a worried look on his face. He said, "The Jingchu University team might not be easy to deal with. They've consistently ranked among the top three universities among the nine, and their faculty is formidable. We need to develop a thorough and detailed plan. At the very least, we need to understand their itinerary and Pokémon information."

Qinglong nodded and said, "That's right. Jiao Mujiao, you should send someone to closely monitor the Jingchu University team and gather intelligence on them. This should include their accommodations, itineraries, routes, and so on. Only with this information can we find the best time to strike."

Xu Rishu added: "In addition, we have to consider possible unexpected situations. For example, what if they have powerful foreign players? Or if they perform well in the game and attract special attention from the officials, how should we respond?"

Qinglong thought for a moment and said, "These are all issues we need to consider. We should prepare more emergency plans so that we can respond quickly if an unexpected situation occurs."

Jiao Mujiao nodded and said, "I understand. I will arrange some personnel to block any possible foreign reinforcements and prepare more covert retreat routes."

Xuanwu said dissatisfiedly, "I only have one question! How exactly should we act? Should we attack them on their way to the competition, or conduct a surprise attack while they are resting?"

Long Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Both methods have risks. Attacking them en route could easily cause chaos and could be discovered by other trainers. While a surprise attack while they're resting is relatively covert, it's still their territory after all, so there are still hidden dangers."

Xu Rishu smirked, "I think we can attack them on their way back to Jingchu after the game. We can set up an ambush on the road they must pass, and then launch a surprise attack when they pass by."

Qinglong nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Choose an uninhabited area near the south. That way, their vigilance will be lowered, and there's no need to worry about being discovered. If something unexpected happens, we can call on Suzaku for support. As long as we ensure swift and covert action, prepare sufficient manpower and equipment, and don't give the authorities any time to react, we'll be absolutely safe."

Xuanwu said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's prepare according to this plan."

After the plan was agreed upon, the Fu Hai people began to prepare.

At this time, Zhilin was completely unaware that he had become the target of everyone in Fuhai. He and his teammates were actively preparing for the next game, completely unaware that a huge crisis was quietly approaching.

On the outskirts of Kyoto, the sun shines on a vast meadow, and the breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of fresh air.

Zhilin stood in the middle of the grass, looking at the electric dragon in front of him.

Zhilin knew that Dragonite's Mega Evolution would be one of the keys to their victory. He whispered, "Dragonite, we must speed up the Mega Evolution. This is crucial to our victory."

The electric dragon naturally understood this truth, nodded slightly, and a firm light flashed in his eyes.

To increase the speed of Dragonite's Mega Evolution, Zhilin decided to focus on meditation training. They found a tranquil valley surrounded by lush trees, a gurgling stream, and a refreshing air. Zhilin and Dragonite sat side by side, slowly closing their eyes and entering a meditative state.

Zhilin first let the electric dragon relax and feel the rhythm of the nature around it.

"Dianlong, calm down. Listen to the breeze rustling through the leaves, the rush of the stream. Feel the breath of nature, and become one with your surroundings." The dragon lowered his head slightly, his breathing becoming steady. He relaxed his body, feeling the gentle breeze and the coolness of the stream. The leaves rustled in the breeze, and the stream gurgled, a clear, melodious sound. The dragon's ears twitched as he absorbed these beautiful sounds. His body and mind gradually relaxed, as if becoming one with the natural surroundings.

Zhilin then began to guide Dianlong to focus his mind and feel his own emotional energy. "Dianlong, now focus your attention on your mind. Feel the spiritual power flowing through your body, feel the power of your emotions. Imagine this power growing stronger and gathering."

The electric dragon closed its eyes tightly, focusing its heart on its emotions. It felt countless mystical energies surge through its body like a raging river. The energy flowed through the electric dragon, emitting a faint glow. Each emotion held immense power, intertwined with each other, forming a complex and powerful energy web. The electric dragon carefully sensed the flow of these energies, attempting to control them and bring them together in a more orderly manner.

As the lightning dragon's sense of emotional energy became clearer, Zhilin began to guide it to establish a telepathic connection with him. "Lightning Dragon, now activate the Mega Stone to resonate with me, channeling the emotional energy, and Mega Evolve."

After saying this, Zhilin also focused his mind and opened his heart to Dianlong. At that moment, their hearts seemed to transcend the distance between them, tightly connected. Zhilin felt Dianlong's inner determination and desire, and Dianlong also felt Zhilin's trust and support.

In the state of mental connection, Zhilin began to transfer his mental power to the electric dragon through the mental connection.

"Dragonite, slow down the Mega evolution!" Under Zhilin's guidance, Dragonite began to slow down the speed of its Mega evolution.

Then, a faint light began to flicker on the electric dragon's body, and some distracting thoughts began to appear in its mind, interfering with its concentration.

Zhilin noticed the change in Lightning Dragon's state and began to guide it to clear its mind. "Lightning Dragon, don't let those distracting thoughts bother you. Imagine yourself in the center of a tranquil lake, the water clear and calm, without a single ripple. Those distracting thoughts will be like fallen leaves on the lake, gently drifting away. Don't let them linger."

The electric dragon tried hard to imagine the tranquil lake, watching those distracting thoughts slowly drift away like fallen leaves.

"Now, refocus your attention on the energy within your body. Feel its power, and let it fill your entire being." Zhilin's voice was steady and powerful. The electric dragon followed his guidance and once again focused its attention on its own energy. The light of the electric current gradually grew brighter, and the electric dragon's body radiated power more steadily.

Distracting thoughts resurfaced, and Zhilin continued to guide Dianlong. "Dianlong, when distracting thoughts arise, don't resist them. Instead, watch them gently, like watching clouds drift across the sky. Then, bring your awareness back to the present moment, feel your breath, and feel the spiritual connection between you and me." Gradually, Dianlong learned to deal with distracting thoughts this way. Whenever a distracting thought arose, it could quickly adjust its state and return to focused meditation.

This was the method Zhiyu taught him, to slow down the pace of Mega's evolution, slowly becoming proficient in the process of getting rid of distracting thoughts, making it an instinct. This would greatly increase the speed of Mega's evolution and prevent it from being interrupted by the enemy.

Meanwhile, not far away, Xu Wu was training with his Gengar. He had set up various obstacles on the grass, forcing Gengar to dart through them. Gengar's elusive form moved swiftly between the obstacles, like a ghost. Xu Wu would occasionally issue commands, instructing Gengar to dodge sudden attacks or seize fleeting opportunities. This was a training exercise for Gengar's speed, and through training, Gengar gradually improved his agility and reaction speed, becoming even more elusive.

If you want to fight two enemies at once, speed is key! Only with enough speed can Gengar stop the enemy in time. Gengar's blocking and delaying abilities will play a crucial role in the game.

Furthermore, to help Gengar better master the art of blocking and delaying enemies, Xu Wu also summoned a group of wild Pokémon and had Gengar battle them. During the battles, Xu Wu constantly instructed Gengar on how to block large numbers of enemy attacks and how to use illusions to delay enemy movements. Gengar constantly learned and grew in battle, gradually mastering ever-more refined combat techniques.

Elsewhere, Zhu Yu and her wind fairy were engaged in specialized training by a small lake. The fairy's lithe form danced gracefully in the breeze, a beauty of grace. Zhu Yu knew the fairy's mastery of the "Rain Prayer" technique would not only counter the weather team but also give them an advantage in the competition.

Zhu Yu gently advised the wind fairy: "Mumu, we need to become more familiar with the environment on rainy days. Make us more proficient in the 'praying for rain' technique and let the rain help us." The wind fairy nodded.

Zhu Yu first explained to the wind fairy how factors such as clouds in the sky, wind direction and humidity contribute to the formation of rainy days, so that it could better understand the formation process of rainy days.

The wind fairy listened carefully to Zhu Yu's explanation, with curiosity glittering in her eyes.

After Zhu Yu finished explaining and confirmed the wind fairy's understanding, he instructed the wind fairy to sense the moisture in the air and guide it to gather it with the power of wind. The wind fairy gently waved its hands, and the surrounding air began to flow, slowly gathering the moisture. Zhu Yu guided the wind fairy to continue working hard, making the moisture even denser.

Through the Wind Fairy's continuous attempts, the water vapor condensed faster and faster. This meant that the Wind Fairy had further improved its 'Rain Prayer' technique. Zhu Yu was also delighted to see the Wind Fairy's progress.

Who will receive this great gift they prepared?
