Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 1043, The Destruction of Yuzu Dojo

half year later--

The members of the Dark Division gathered together and launched an attack on Yuzu Island. Since Yuzu Island was relatively close and Ayi happened to be going home, Yu Hai chose Yuzu Island as the Dark Division's first target.

Boom boom boom——

The island is engulfed in war, filled with the sounds of elves battling. The Dark Guard has surrounded Yuzu Island, and no one can leave.

When Yu Hai arrived at the island, there was only a few scattered resistances left. All the key figures on Yuzu Island were concentrated in the dojo, so he didn't need to lift a finger; his subordinates had already taken care of everything.

If all the members of the Dark Side were to mobilize together, that would be more than ten Elite Four members and more than twenty Elite Four aspiring trainers. No force in the Orange Islands could withstand such an attack.

When he arrived at Yuzu Gym, he saw Ayi protecting his family and glaring at the men in black who were attacking Yuzu Island.

The Dark Division's costumes and designs still follow the Spider-Man style: all-black hooded clothes and white masks with elf patterns on their faces, concealing their true identities.

"Who are you? I am one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance. My reinforcements have arrived. No matter who you are, if you don't leave now, none of you will escape!" A-Yi shouted hoarsely as he glared at the crowd, but all he received in response was silence. Everyone was silent.

After Yu Hai arrived, no one dared to speak up. Even the boss participated in the operation. The Dark Division was definitely in charge of the boss's decisions, so who would dare to speak up and offend him?

"Are the reinforcements you mentioned them?" Yu Hai gently raised his hand, and two people walked into the gym: Xiao Dan and Officer Jenny from Big City.

Yu Hai encountered two people outside the island. The two wanted to come to the island, but they were stopped by the Anbu. The Anbu even took out the official credentials of the Orange Alliance, which were similar to the credentials of the investigators, but were white.

"You guys are really trainers from the new department of the league," Xiao Dan said in disbelief. There were more than a dozen Elite Four trainers, a lineup even more impressive than the trainers at the Orange League headquarters.

He had previously tried to force his way onto Yuzu Island, but found that he couldn't get there at all. These men in black only sent two Elite Four trainers, and they suppressed him completely. And this group of mysterious trainers had all joined a new department that had never been heard of before.

“Little Dan Heavenly King can verify at any time,” Xiao Ying’s voice was altered as he took out his secret service identification. Their identifications had all been renewed within the last six months and were related to their real-life identities.

Their identities are kept highly confidential; even the four kings in the league don't have the authority to view them, only the champion does.

Within the Orange League, Yuji's temporary champion status also allows him to verify their identities.

The remaining trainers who couldn't be brought to the light were all orphans and petty criminals with status and life experience who were killed off, and their identities were taken over and entered into the League's secret system. The identities of these people had been prepared for two years.

As the champion, it would be very simple for Yu Hai to help these people obtain new identities at the Orange Alliance headquarters. He wouldn't need anyone's consent because he was acting as a guarantor based on his champion status.

Xiao Dan took Xiao Ying's ID and called Yong Ci. After explaining the situation to Yong Ci, she gave him the number on Xiao Ying's ID. Yong Ci immediately found out Xiao Ying's identity.

Upon seeing Xiaoying's headshot, his mouth went dry. Knowing the matter was serious, he calmly reminded Xiaodan, "The credentials are fine. The trainer belongs to the newly established department of the Champions, abbreviated as Dark Unit. The trainer's identity on the credentials is Xiaoying..."

"What? Little..." Xiao Dan exclaimed, but was immediately interrupted by Xiao Ying.

"Little Dan, the identity of the Dark Guard trainer is confidential. Please do not reveal the Dark Guard trainer's identity when they are on a mission," Xiao Ying snatched the identification and glared at Little Dan.

"Okay, okay," Xiao Dan quickly stopped talking. He didn't expect that the man in black would be Xiao Ying. A while ago, Xiao Ying came to ask for leave and said that she would be away for a year or two. He didn't expect that she would join the Dark Division.

If this man in black is Xiaoying, then the other men in black are very likely trainers she knows, but she doesn't know who they are.

Yuji told him on the other end that he shouldn't get involved in this matter, lest he get himself into trouble, and then Yuji hung up the phone.

Yuji knew about the Dark Division. Yu Hai had explained the Dark Division's role and purpose clearly. After reporting it to the Alliance headquarters, the elders there actually agreed to let Yu Hai test the waters first. If the Dark Division performed well, other regions would follow suit.

There was no other way. If it weren't for the Team Rocket incident, those old guys might still have hesitated. But after the Team Rocket incident, the war spread to three regions, and those old guys were all scared. The League needed a secret force to help them patrol the area and handle many tricky things.

“King Yi, your reinforcements have arrived. They’ve checked all the documents. We’re allies. What else do you want to say?” Yu Hai completely ignored Miss Officer Jenny. Even Xiao Dan said there was no problem. What else could Miss Officer Jenny say?

"You, you guys?" A-Yi looked at Xiao-Dan with a helpless expression. Xiao-Dan turned her face away, not daring to look at him, which made him even more desperate. He never thought that the alliance really wanted to kill him.

“King Ayi, during your time as Gym Leader,” Yu Hai pulled out a piece of paper, filled with evidence of Yuzu Gym’s crimes collected by the Dark Side, and recounted it in detail: “Yuzu Gym secretly colluded with Black Ships, illegally traded contraband with Black Ships in Big City, and also secretly supported pirates in smuggling and attacked passing merchant ships and passenger ships…”

"You've also illegally consumed and sold rare Pokémon. Yuzu Gym's crimes are unforgivable! Furthermore, you've colluded with Team Rocket remnants and harbored Team Rocket fugitives. What exactly are you trying to do, Yuzu Gym? Are you trying to overthrow the League's rule...?"

"You're making baseless accusations," A-Yi said, his heart tightening when he heard about the alleged collusion with Team Rocket. How did they find out about it?

“I’m accusing you? Heh, bring him up here,” Yu Hai said, raising his hand slightly. Two men in black behind him dragged up a Team Rocket fugitive covered in wounds.

He never expected that there would be a Team Rocket fugitive at the Yuzu Gym. This person was one of the Team Rocket members who escaped at Ayan's wedding and knew the truth about that night.

However, even if these insiders know that Spider was responsible, so what? They are not Spider; they are the Alliance's secret service.

As for the other evidence of Yuzu Gym's crimes, Viper, who developed his business in Big City back then, already knew exactly what evidence Yuzu Gym had, so there was no need to collect it.

"Elder Yi? You're not going to say that I put this Team Rocket fugitive on your island, are you?" Yu Hai looked at Yi with a mocking expression. The Team Rocket fugitive had already been interrogated, so let's see how he can deny it now.

"You? You?" Ah Yi stared at the Rocket Team fugitive, his lips trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a word.

He took in the Rocket Team fugitive, who brought the truth about his second uncle's death. He also knew that it wasn't the Rocket Team that killed his second uncle, but that he was framed by Spider.

Just as he was investigating Spider's true identity, this group of secret agents came knocking on his door, leaving him no time to continue his investigation and find out who Spider really was.

“Since the witnesses and evidence are all here, things are quite simple,” Yu Hai handed the incriminating evidence to Officer Jenny, his face behind the mask smiling at her. “Officer Jenny, this incriminating evidence also involves some high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in Big City. You’ll have to work a little harder on that side…”

"Yes, sir," Officer Jenny said, taking the incriminating evidence. She stood at attention, saluted, and left the Yuzu Gym. She realized that these people had evidence before they acted, and their presence would be futile.

Yuzu Dojo is beyond saving. If it gets involved in this matter, it could very well be charged with harboring an accomplice, and it will backfire...

Seeing Officer Jenny leave, Xiao Dan was caught in a dilemma: should he stay or leave? After all, she was a League Trainer. Should he help her out, or should he take action against his former colleague?

"Little Dan, this place has been taken over by the Dark Division. You are not suitable to handle such cases, so please leave," Yu Hai directly issued an order to leave. What is about to happen is likely to be very bloody and violent, and it is not suitable for trainers like Little Dan to participate. This is also the Dark Division's assessment standard.

If you can't even bring yourself to do it, don't come to the Anbu. You can challenge the regional tournament and take a brighter path to promotion.

“Fine,” Xiao Dan said dejectedly, turning and walking away. Standing on the ship, he looked back at the raging fire that was shooting into the sky on Yuzu Island. He knew that times had changed, and the next alliance would no longer be the era of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"You...you? Don't come any closer!" A-Yi stood in front of his main Pokémon, looking at the group of men in black. He realized that if even the Elite Four couldn't intimidate this group, then only the Champion could.

“I can’t die yet. I haven’t found the spider yet, and I haven’t avenged my second uncle.” A-Yi took out his phone and called Champion Yu-Hai. He knew that only Yu-Hai could stop this group of people, and he had to live.

Jingle bells, jingle bells—

Suddenly, Yu Hai's phone rang. He took it out and answered it, glancing at A Yi with a smile as he asked, "Excuse me, are you looking for me?"

"You...you...you? Impossible!" A-Yi was so shocked he couldn't speak. He hadn't expected that Champion Yu Hai was among them. Could it be that all of this was orchestrated by Champion?

“Nothing is impossible,” Yu Hai slowly approached A Yi, hung up the phone and put it away. He stopped only when he was very close to A Yi, and lowered his voice to chuckle, “Weren’t you looking for the spider? Where do you think the spider is?”

"You, you, you," A-Yi seemed to have figured something out. He wanted to take revenge on Spider, and Spider wanted to be wiped out completely. He suddenly looked up and stared directly at Yu-Hai's mask, then laughed, "Hahaha, so it was you, so it was you guys..."

"You're really smart," Yu Hai said. He was a good man; even in death, he wanted to let his enemies know the truth, lest they die with regrets and become wandering ghosts seeking revenge. "Heh, the Alliance has let a wolf into the house," Grandpa A Yi sighed helplessly. He should have thought of it sooner. You could tell from the old man's reaction that he must have known all along, keeping it a secret from them for a long time.

Spider is the old man's son-in-law, and so is the champion. This old man really has all the good things in the world.

"Old man, don't say that. Didn't you invite wolves into the house back then? You were much more ruthless than us back then. Why don't you bring up the old stories?" Yu Hai retorted with a smile, his attention completely focused on the old man.

If anyone here could rival him, it would only be this old man. "Old man, times have changed. Now it's the Alliance's turn. Those who don't know the times should all step down..."

"Well done, you know how to be pragmatic," Grandpa Yi chuckled, slowly taking out a Poké Ball. "Young people these days are a bit arrogant..."

"Prepare for battle. All weak Elite Four members, get out!" Seeing Grandpa Ayi's actions, Yu Hai immediately raised his hand to signal the weaker Anbu trainers to leave, as they might have to bleed and die soon.

He learned from Grandpa Dunmei that the old man's trump card was a champion-level Water-type Pokémon, Crawdex...

While he was still wondering how a crayfish could become a champion, Grandpa Yi released the crayfish.

"Everyone get out!" Yu Hai was the first to run, and the others were not far behind. After all, those who stayed behind were all experts, and they were indeed experts in escaping. Otherwise, they would not have survived until now.

After they all left the gym, a huge iron claw lobster appeared before them, piercing through the roof of the Yuzu Gym and fully revealing itself to everyone.

"Gudong..."

"so big……"

Someone swallowed hard, staring at the iron-clawed lobster for a long time, speechless.

Not to mention others, even Yu Hai was shocked. This was actually a giant iron claw lobster, about the same size as a flyless bighead carp. No wonder it could break through to the champion level. It can grow to such a size. There are no weaklings.

"Everyone surround the island to prevent anyone else from escaping. I'll handle this Iron Claw Lobster," Yu Hai said, instantly throwing out six Poké Balls and releasing six Champion-level Pokémon.

He wasn't too nervous facing this giant Ironclaw Lobster. After all, he had seen Gigantamax Pokémon before, and even if the Ironclaw Lobster grew bigger, it was still just a clumsy lobster.

"Zetzart, strike it with Thunderstrike first," Yu Hai pointed, signaling Zapdos to lead the charge. He then jumped onto Dragonite's back, gaining a higher and wider field of vision. He then whispered to Darkrai in the shadows, "Darkrai, create a large enough Dark Hole..."

Meanwhile, Ah Yi's family, who were hiding under the Iron Claw Lobster, were all shocked by their grandfather's giant sprite, but now was not the time to marvel at the giant sprite.

Grandpa Ayi immediately grabbed Ayi, his cloudy pupils instantly clearing, and solemnly instructed Ayi: "Ayi, take your sister and sneak into the sea through the secret passage to escape. Be quick, the iron-clawed lobsters can't stop them..."

"How is that possible? Crawdex is that strong?" A-Yi didn't believe it. After all, Crawdex, which is so huge, is almost the same size as the legendary Pokémon in the Hoenn region. How could it not stop the champion?

“Ah Yi, you don’t understand. He’s the strongest champion trainer in the history of the Orange Islands. He’s stronger than Grandpa and the other three old guys at the gym. He’s even stronger than that crazy guy at the Xiagan Gym who wasted his trainer career but has great talent. He has no chance of winning in a head-on fight…”

"Grandpa needs you to leave here, taking with you the secret of his self-destruction, exposing his hypocrisy and deceit to the Alliance, so that the Alliance can deal with him. Go quickly..."

Boom, boom, boom——

As lightning struck, the Iron Claw Lobster's attention was drawn to the Zapdos in the sky, and Darkrai took advantage of its unpreparedness, enveloping the Iron Claw Lobster in a massive dark hole.

"Roar, roar," the iron-clawed lobster sensed the drowsiness and realized it had been tricked. It immediately roared loudly, plunged its claws into its body, and used the pain to keep itself awake.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Darkrai's second Dark Hole followed closely, enveloping the Iron Claw Lobster once more and intensifying its drowsiness until it collapsed and fell into a deep sleep...

The moment the Iron Claw Lobster fell, Yu Hai rushed into the dojo to check the situation and found that A Yi had escaped. There was a hidden door under the pool, and the water level in the pool was much lower than before.

"Heh, do you think you can escape?" Yu Hai threw out a Sharpedo's Poké Ball, letting Sharpedo chase along the passage. He then immediately left the Yuzu Gym, riding a Dragonite into the air. He had placed Sensing Pokémon in all four directions of the Yuzu Gym.

Slowking, Gengar, and Lucario are all Champion-level Sensory Pokémon. He also placed Claydol and Metagross in the last direction, not believing that the opponent could escape.

“Ah Hai, found it,” Daddy King was relatively close to Big City, and it found that there was no movement on the seabed, unless the underwater tunnel was hundreds of kilometers long.

It was obviously impossible. The maintenance of a 100-kilometer-long underwater tunnel would be a huge project. Its superpowers inadvertently swept across Big City and discovered two panicked figures in the city's sewers.

It turns out that Ah Yi and his companion didn't flee to the sea at all, but instead fled to Big City, trying to play dirty tricks again.

Slowking immediately teleported in front of A-Yi and his sister, knocked them unconscious with his teleportation, and then teleported them back to Yuzu Island, leaving them in front of Yu Hai.

These two wanted to escape by teleporting, but they didn't realize that the surrounding space was already sealed off, making teleportation impossible.

"Spider, clean up the battlefield, take all the valuables, and we'll talk about it when we get back to Diaoyu Island," Yu Hai said, looking at the black-clad man in the spider mask, A-Ju, whose mask was decorated with a round silk spider and whose code name was Spider.

"Boss, what should we do with that giant iron claw lobster?" A-Ju looked at the lobster's body that occupied the entire dojo, somewhat perplexed.

"Find the Poké Ball and recall it. If you can't find it, use Sleep Powder to put it to sleep and then transport it back for everyone's extra meal," Yu Hai said with a smile as he looked at the huge lobster. Lobster Pokémon are the ones that can be served on the dinner table; the ones that can't be eaten are rare Pokémon.

“Alright,” A-Ju immediately directed her men to get to work, moving all the valuables from Yuzu Island. In the end, it was up to them which items would end up in the Alliance’s treasury and which would be damaged in battle.

As the battle ended, the place was reduced to ruins, and Ah Yi and his sister lay on the ground, no longer breathing.

The two violently resisted and died unexpectedly in the battle. Yuzu Gym was left with only some insignificant minor characters, all of whom were kept on the shore, waiting for Officer Jenny to come and take them away and imprison them.

After finishing everything here and handing over his work to Officer Jenny, he led his team away...

Yuzu Gym is destroyed from this day forward, erased from the map of the Orange Islands. All the important figures connected to Yuzu Gym have perished in battle…

After leaving, Yu Hai secretly returned to the ruins of Yuzu Dojo with A-Ju in the middle of the night.

The place was eerily quiet, with only the ashes left from the fire; nothing remained. No thieves dared to approach at this time, since they had only recently left and the entire island was still under Officer Jenny's blockade.

"Darkrai, is anything unusual?" Yu Hai and A Ju were in the sky when they saw a dark shadow rise rapidly and disappear into his shadow. He quickly asked Darkrai.

“Found a child,” Darkrai said, then fell completely silent, already guessing what Yu Hai was about to do.

"Oh ho, there are still some who slipped through the net," Yu Hai looked at A Ju, his eyes as cold as a knife. "Didn't you say that everything had been checked?"

"Boss, it's my fault. I'm willing to be punished. I'll go down and deal with it right now, and I'll confine myself on the island for a month to guard it." When Yu Hai looked at her, A-Ju broke out in a cold sweat. How could she have neglected a child!

“A month of confinement isn’t necessary. We still have the operation against the Durian Gym, and we can’t do without you,” Yu Hai said with a smile, watching A-Ju and seeing her fly down with Crobat.

Not long after, A-Ju flew back up and reported to Yu-Hai, "Boss, that child was Uncle A-Yi's only son, and he's already been dealt with..."

“Very good, let’s go,” Yu Hai nodded lightly. If there were any escapees, there was nothing he could do; you can’t guard against thieves for a thousand days. What he needed to do was preserve all the evidence, even the bodies of the Team Rocket fugitives.

These witnesses and physical evidence are enough to nail Yuzu Gym to the pillar of shame, making Yuzu Gym be cursed by everyone for the rest of its life. Even if someone wants to clear Yuzu Gym's name, they have to weigh the cost of going against the League.

As for those illegitimate children, forget about them. Illegitimate children are already treated badly, and they are generally not even given a second glance at home. Don't expect them to avenge Yuzu Dojo. It's considered a sign of conscience if they don't fight for the inheritance.

Furthermore, all the property of the Yuzu Dojo was confiscated, and the spoils of war went to the individual players, so there was no inheritance to be earned...
