Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 1029, Reactions from all parties

It was sunny on the third day after returning to the Orange Islands.

Three days later, the news that the Rockets broke into a wedding in Big City and launched a terrorist attack had already spread to every corner of the league.

Even the local news channel in the Orange Islands has been following this incident every day. Many people want to know how the league, which is at war with the Rockets, will react. This is no longer a provocation, but a blatant kick in the face of the league.

The few people who knew about this matter had already known the whole story of the Big City incident, but they kept it secret and quietly watched the subsequent changes.

After the old steward of Xia Gan Gym came back that night, he confiscated the Poké Balls of the four people from the Black Ship, and only retained the necessary guard Pokémon for the four people. Then he went to the backyard of Xia Gan Gym and found Grandpa Dunmei to report what happened at the wedding.

"Master, this is what happened. I took them out of the villa and I don't know what happened afterwards," the gym leader reported the incident truthfully. As for what to do with the four recruited top trainers, it all depends on Grandpa Atsumi to make the decision.

"Don't worry about that kid," Grandpa Dunmei put the bait on the hook again and waved his hand gently to the old housekeeper. He didn't know what Yu Hai was going to do, as long as he didn't hurt Xia Gan Gym. The kid didn't look like a bad person and knew his own limits in doing things.

Thinking about it afterwards, he found that the boy had his own intentions in doing things, but he didn't understand it at first. Only after things fermented did he figure out why the boy did it.

Judging from the news that came in the past few days, he could vaguely guess what the kid was going to do, but he didn't know how the alliance would react.

It's time to call that brat back. The Orange Islands will not be peaceful in the future. The brat must be in charge of the Xia Gan Gym, otherwise Xiaomei will not be able to handle many things.

"Those four people will be sent to the orchard to help out first. Give them all new identities and wait until the storm has died down before they can come out..."

"Yes, sir," the old butler left the backyard of Xia Gan Dojo after hearing the order, and came to the room where the captain of the black ship and several others were arranged, and explained the arrangements of Xia Gan Dojo.

Finally, he told the four people that they were able to get out alive because he had negotiated with the Rockets and asked them to pay a money to buy their lives.

Even though the four members of the Black Ship had a vague guess, the butler still insisted that those people were Team Rocket, and the four members of the Black Ship could only say that those people were Team Rocket.

The captain of the Black Ship couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the 2 billion yuan, plus the money to save the lives of four dragon-type elves. He didn't think it was too expensive, but rather too cheap.

After all, a quasi-god costs at least 500 million, and exchanging their lives for two quasi-gods is indeed a bit cheap. After all, they have quasi-god spirits in their bodies, and it is not difficult to let the dragon quasi-god hatch two cubs. Compared with their lives, it is simply a great deal.

He also had to thank his old rival. If he hadn't intervened, they wouldn't have escaped so easily. Judging from the brutal tactics used by that group of people, they had no intention of leaving anyone alive.

The news that came in the past few days also confirmed his guess. Among the few people who were arrested that night, only they got out alive. Everyone except Lance died that night.

He didn't see any news about Lance, and he guessed that Lance was dead. It was impossible for Lance to be alive. After all, the purpose of that group of people was to put the blame on Team Rocket, so it was impossible for them to keep Lance.

……

at the same time--

Ayi from the Yuzu Gym and a group of gym apprentices came to the morgue of the Pokémon Center in Big City and saw his second uncle lying quietly in the morgue with a fatal wound on his neck.

Seeing his deceased uncle, Ayi secretly clenched his fists. His heart could not calm down for a long time. His mind was full of the past with his uncle. His uncle taught him how to train Pokémon, how Pokémon fight, and how to manage a gym.

Although his second uncle was not very smart, he was very good to his nephews and nieces. He did not even fight for the position of museum owner, but gave it to his nephew.

This is also the reason why he respects his second uncle very much. His second uncle is a middle-aged man who puts family first, just like his deceased father.

Seeing his uncle lying there coldly, he could no longer suppress his anger towards Team Rocket. He wanted to tear all the members of Team Rocket into pieces...

The reason they came here was to claim the body of their second uncle and take it back for burial, and also to prepare for the revenge against Team Rocket. He vowed not to stop until he had killed all of Team Rocket.

After his second uncle was buried, he knelt quietly in front of his second uncle's portrait. He heard footsteps behind him. He knew it was his grandfather's footsteps. After suppressing it for a few days, he finally spoke.

"Grandpa, I want to kill Team Rocket. I want to avenge my second uncle..."

"Good boy, the alliance has not yet recovered from the influence of the undercover agent, and we need to wait a little longer," Grandpa Ayi looked at the portrait of his second son, and he felt that things were not that simple.

The war between Team Rocket and the League is very tense. Why does Team Rocket still want to provoke the trainers of the Orange Islands and commit such a serious crime in the Orange Islands? Isn't this just making enemies for itself and making itself vulnerable to attacks from all sides?

At least when they were dealing with the Rockets before, their Yuzu Gym was not that active, but when this tragedy happened, Yuzu Gym did not stand against the Rockets, the league should have suspected whether Yuzu Gym had ulterior motives.

He's old now. If he knew who killed his second son, he'd go get revenge even if it meant risking his life. But Team Rocket wasn't the murderer, so who should he turn to for revenge? Should he turn to Team Rocket?

That just fits the murderer's purpose, so since he is old and can no longer fight, let the younger generation do the rest.

The Rockets have already fallen into a slump, so it doesn't matter if they turn to the Alliance at this time. It just shows the position of the Yuzu Gym, and it is not too late now.

……

In Tokiwa City in the Kanto region, in the Tokiwa Gym office, Sakaki received the news of the Orange Islands' mutation that night.

In addition to Lance, there were other members of Team Rocket at the wedding scene in the villa area of ​​Big City. They were all subordinates brought by Lance. However, there were not many of them and their strength was not strong, so they were not listed as targets and escaped in the chaos that night.

This matter was reported to Sakaki, and Sakaki knew that he had been exposed. He also guessed who did it. After all, this day would come sooner or later.

"Boss, he leaked your information. We can't stay here anymore," Manato said, holding a tablet computer that displayed news from Big City and the scene filmed by undercover agents. Team Rocket had become the target of public criticism in the Orange Islands.

This bad news came when the Rockets were at a disadvantage. It was a huge blow to the Rockets. It was like a fatal blow to the Rockets who were at a disadvantage.

"Let's go," Sakaki slowly stood up from the leather seat and walked towards the tarmac with a smile. He was not angry about his identity being exposed. Instead, he smiled and said, "That kid finally couldn't bear it anymore..."

"Boss, he revealed your identity, should we do it?" Manatori suggested to Sakaki, wanting to do the opposite.

"Didn't you reveal his identity? Did you see him being captured by the Alliance?" Sakaki looked at Manatori with some amusement. He had ordered not to reveal the information that the other party was a spider.

As a result, some subordinates still refused to listen and secretly leaked the information during the Orange Competition, causing Yu Hai to be arrested for false accusations and then released.

No matter those people framed Ukai as a spider, a Team Rocket undercover, a pirate, or a Pokémon hunter from a poaching group, Ukai escaped the frame-up.

This means that someone in the alliance came forward to vouch for Yu Hai. They have already framed Yu Hai once, and it is useless to use such means again. After all, the other party has already defamed himself, and someone will come forward to protect him even if they throw dirty water on him again.

"Boss, is there nothing we can do about him?" Mantori was a little unwilling. The other party had repeatedly disrupted their actions. Should they just let him get away with it?

"No," Sakaki shook his head slightly and explained to Managi, "I couldn't take him down last time I tried to take him down myself. It's impossible to take him down now. He's been to the future and is a trainer blessed by legendary Pokémon. Trainers like him usually don't have bad luck..."

Sakaki has been to the future, and he knows how difficult this type of trainer is. It is difficult to suppress the growth of these trainers. Since the opponent is no longer forbearing, it means that the opponent has the ability to protect himself. It is no longer effective to trip the opponent at this time.

Ever since the other party made its position clear, he had no intention of tripping them up again. Since they were not enemies, he would deal with the alliance first, and then deal with the other party after the Rockets won. However, the war situation changed too quickly, and it was a bit difficult for the Rockets to fight against the entire alliance.

The subsequent conflict with the opponent was just his subordinates' self-willed behavior. As the leader of Team Rocket, as his territory grew larger and larger, some things that he was not aware of were getting out of control.

As for Naz's self-assertion?
Nancy borrowed a few elves from him. He knew about it but did not refuse or stop it. Success or failure did not affect him. Anyway, Team Rocket was ready to go to war with the Alliance.
As for Naza's request, her subordinates were given the authority to handle it, but this authority was limited to Naza and her group; others did not have the necessary permissions. "Boss, we've been exposed. What should we do next? Should we tighten our defenses?" Seeing that Sakaki didn't seem to care about Umi's situation, he couldn't help but ask about other matters, such as whether the deployment needed to be adjusted.

"Go underground," Sakaki said to Manatori as he got on the helicopter and looked out the window at the gloomy sky. "Have you contacted the underground leaders in other areas? Gather them for a meeting..."

"Boss, we've contacted Shui Wutong from the Hoenn region's Aqua team, the leader of the Sinnoh region's Ginga team, the leader of the Unova region's Plasma team, and the leader of the Kalos region's Flare team. The only one we can't find is Chi Yansong from the Magma team..."

"Forget it, I'll gather as many people as I can. I want to call them to conspire against something big," Sakaki said with a smile, watching the Tokiwa Gym on the ground flying higher and higher, gradually turning into a small black dot and disappearing into the sky.

When the alliance reacted and came to check the Tokiwa Gym, they found that the gym owner Sakaki had already left. When they searched the entire Tokiwa Gym, they discovered a large underground base under the gym, leading directly to the Tokiwa Forest in the suburbs.

The League also found a lot of Team Rocket's things underground. In the end, the news was true and the evidence was conclusive. Daichi Sakaki was Team Rocket. It was not yet clear whether he was the leader of Team Rocket, but it didn't matter anymore. The League had already listed Sakaki as the most wanted target.

……

at the same time--

On the Alliance Warfront, Commander-in-Chief Du Guanjun's desk was practically broken...

He worked hard to fight against Team Rocket in Kanto and Chengdu, constantly squeezing Team Rocket's living space, but Team Rocket even dared to send troops to cause trouble in the Orange Islands. He also suspended the Elite Four and Gym Leaders and let these people take vacation. This was simply a slap in his face.

When the news of the Big City tragedy came, he was so angry that he slammed his desk. The Rockets were slapping him in the face again. Since they suspected the Elite Four and the Gym Leaders, the Rockets would cause trouble in the Orange Islands and let everyone laugh at the Alliance.

In order to deal with Team Rocket's subsequent retaliation, Du no longer cared about so much and directly proposed to the higher-ups to restore the positions of the Four Heavenly Kings and Gym Leaders of the Orange Islands. The higher-ups also made the move to re-activate the Four Heavenly Kings of the Orange Islands.

There was no way, the pressure was too great. Not only Du felt it, but even the old guys in the league suddenly felt the pressure because of the Rockets' revenge.

At that time, an Orange Islands champion will be established in the Orange Islands to coordinate the Orange Islands' encirclement and suppression operations, launch a comprehensive crackdown on the Rockets, and help the champion share some of the pressure of the war, which will save Du a lot of trouble.

Wataru, who is now in charge of the war between Kanto and Chengdu, is finding it increasingly difficult to keep up. After all, Champion Kikuko is getting old and can only be deployed once or twice a year to suppress the most troublesome Team Rocket officers. All the remaining responsibilities rest on his shoulders.

I wonder where Yu Hai is. I really want to grab him and share some of his work.

A few months ago, when he chatted with President Damalanqi, he learned that Yu Hai had already reached the level of a near-champion and was capable of serving as the champion of a region. However, the kid had disappeared and was not answering his phone. No one knew where he had gone to hide.

He knew the kid wasn't an undercover agent, but the kid's lazy nature left him helpless; the kid was like a slippery eel, impossible to catch.

The trainer who is now preparing to return to his job in the Orange Islands also needs to send someone to the Diaoyu Islands Gym for a re-assessment, so that this lazy guy can contribute and help relieve some of the pressure.

After he suggested to his superiors that the Elite Four of the Orange Islands be reinstated, the old guys discussed it and decided that it would be better to let Yuji, a trainer with experience as an Elite Four member, take over as the Orange Islands Champion. He could immediately launch a campaign against Team Rocket without having to get used to the work environment again.

The remaining four Elite Four members are missing one. They plan to give the spot to Yi from Yuzu Gym, because Yi's second uncle was killed in the villa during the revenge tragedy in Big City. Yi took the initiative to apply to the League for the spot.

They approved A-Yi's request to fill in for this young trainer who wanted revenge against Team Rocket. After all, with such a deep-seated grudge, they believed A-Yi could do a good job of taking down Team Rocket.

Regarding the reinstatement of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Orange Islands and the appointment and removal of the champion, they plan to send Champion Kikuko there. Wataru is currently unavailable, so only Kikuko is suitable to go to the Orange Islands.

Kikuko can also oversee the Orange Islands, so that Yuuji, who has just become the champion and is still somewhat inexperienced, can consult Kikuko.

……

at the same time……

On the fishing island, Yu Hai slept until he naturally woke up on the big bed in the fishing dojo. As soon as he woke up, washed up, and came to the restaurant, the kitchen lady brought him breakfast.

Three days have passed since the operation in Big City. Everyone else who participated in the operation has returned, and the loot is all at the gym.

In particular, all the Pokémon loot was taken by the gym and purchased at black market prices. These Pokémon loot were mostly Elite Four level Pokémon, which would be perfect for the gym to hatch eggs.

That's only the first reason. The second reason is that these Pokémon are too sensitive to be released and give away their secrets. The best outcome is to let them eat and drink well in the gym's backyard until they hatch their eggs and die.

He explained to everyone that, apart from the captain whom he had defeated, each of the three who defeated the Black Ship would receive 500 million, plus the option to choose any Dragon-type Pokémon baby. If they didn't want the Dragon-type Pokémon baby, they could accept a 500 million discount.

Anyway, he's not short of money now. He's already spent over a billion on buying other people's Pokémon loot. He just needs to wait for the Shagan Gym to send over their Pokémon.

The three trainers who defeated the Black Ship had no objections to this arrangement. The other trainers' Pokémon loot, each Elite Four level Pokémon, was worth around 100 million, totaling only 500 to 600 million, which was a very reasonable price.

After the spoils were distributed, everyone dispersed as if nothing had happened. The guests and staff of the hot spring hotel slept from the night until the next day, and when they saw Yu Hai coming to inspect the hot spring hotel, none of them suspected Yu Hai's intentions.

Actually, Yu Hai wanted to show his face so that his spies here would notice him. Otherwise, if he didn't show up, who knows who they would report to or what information they would give him? It wouldn't be good if they connected him to the tragedy in Big City...

But just as he reached the second floor of the hotel, his phone rang. He had no choice but to turn around and leave the hot spring hotel, going to a secluded beach to answer the call. "Hello, Xiaoying, what's up?"

"Brother Hai, the league has sent a notice asking me to go to the Orange League headquarters to resume my duties. There's also some news you might be interested in: the league plans to have Yuuji take over as the Orange League champion. They're preparing for the inauguration ceremony, and it should be announced in about a week..."

“Okay, I understand,” Yu Hai said, not surprised by the news, as this was exactly what he had been looking for.

After the Rockets' disastrous performance against the Orange Islands, it would be problematic if the league didn't react strongly. At that point, the league couldn't care less about infiltrators; all they wanted was to stabilize morale as quickly as possible.

Once panic sets in, no amount of resounding victories by the alliance can salvage the loss of the alliance's credibility and prestige among the residents.

The league doesn't want those backstabbers to discover its weakness; the league must remain strong to the end, which is also a drawback of the league system.

When you're strong, everything is good, but once you're weak, everyone kicks you when you're down, and everyone wants to take a piece of your flesh. At that point, the alliance will find it difficult to maintain its current dominance.

Since the League is preparing to reinstate the suspended Elite Four, his gym assessment is also coming up. This time it will probably just be a formality before he becomes a gym leader.

He doesn't know if he'll be drafted. With his current strength, unless a top-tier god, Giovanni, or the champions from various regions come, he can easily handle anyone else.

There's no way around it; once you've gained power, you can speak with such arrogance. He's stuck guarding his little piece of land on Diaoyu Island, and nobody can touch him. He can finally fish leisurely.

As for the challenge of winning the championship?
Currently, there is a war between Kanto and the Chengdu region. Even if he wanted to challenge the Champion Road, the Elite Four and the Champion of both regions would be too busy.

In addition, the Elite Four members were transferred from the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions, meaning that the Elite Four members and champions from those two regions were also unavailable.

Now he can only wait for the Elite Four of Johto and Kanto to be reinstated, and for the Elite Four of Hoenn and Sinnoh to return, before he can challenge the Champion Road.

There's no rush for the championship; right now, there's only one important thing: he can finally relax and fish. It hasn't been easy...

After more than 1,700 days, almost five years, he can finally get some proper rest...
