Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 1045, Alliance Meeting

Silver Mountains, Alliance Headquarters, a huge conference room equipped with a projector...

"Both terrorists involved in this attack on headquarters must be severely punished to deter other trainers with malicious intentions and prevent more trainers from following suit..."

"Such an imposing air of authority," Yu Hai leaned back in his conference room chair, arms crossed, and smiled at the old man who had spoken, unable to resist laughing, "I'd like to see who dares to touch my men..."

He is currently at the League headquarters in Kanto, invited to attend the Champions Conference with the Elite Four. His purpose is self-evident: to conduct a public trial, with the participation of all regions, regarding his swift and decisive annihilation of two gyms by the Dark Side.

"You? You think that becoming the champion means we can't activate the Champions Council and impeach you, the newly crowned champion..."

"Please do as you please," Yu Hai wasn't afraid of any impeachment. He was all grown up now, and at worst, he would just quit being this damn champion.

"Ahem, Elder, you're exaggerating. That Xiao Shun is an undercover agent I planted at the Liugan Gym, so..." Du didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear: he wanted to protect this person as well.

Du was not only helping Yu Hai, but also himself. After all, this was an undercover agent working for him. If he didn't protect this undercover agent, how would his other subordinates view him as their superior? Wouldn't that make his subordinates feel disheartened?

"Very good, very good. So both champions are going to protect the terrorists who attacked headquarters, is that it!"

Thump, thump—

"Silence," Kikuko tapped her cane heavily, looked at the indignant old man, then at the helpless Wataru, and the relaxed Yukai, before continuing, "Koji caused serious damage to the League headquarters and had a negative impact on the Trainer community. He is sentenced to life imprisonment. Shun is a League mole; his mission is complete, and he is granted release. That concludes this agenda item. Let's move on to the next item..."

"Hmph," some old men and women snorted in dissatisfaction. Before Kikuko could even raise the issue, they launched a verbal attack on Yu Hai, "I feel that the Dark Division's functions are not up to par, and there is even a risk of it getting out of control. This department should absolutely not be established..."

"I feel the Dark Guard has too much power, so I agree that this proposal should not be accepted..."

"I feel it's quite useful. If we have the help of the Dark Side in the war against Team Rocket, we won't be in a passive position, or even be in a passive position all the time," Wataru said again on behalf of Yu Hai, because the Dark Side is really useful.

With over a dozen Elite 1 trainers, and such a force that can be mobilized by the champion, what can't be handled?

"Thump, thump," Kikuko tapped her cane heavily again, suggesting, "Let's postpone the Dark Side issue. We need to restructure the authority with the Champion and the Four Heavenly Kings, so let's discuss that later..."

Kikuko also felt that keeping this department was a good thing. When encountering some tricky problems, she could directly send ANBU trainers to handle them, and there was no need to borrow Elite Four trainers from other regions, where other regions would make excuses and delay.

Moreover, the Dark Side can truly become a force held by the Alliance, not belonging to any particular region, but rather a force exclusively within the Alliance system.

It's like tearing a piece of flesh from other regions, using the resources of those regions to cultivate the League's own trainers, which can also be used to restrain the self-reliance of various regions and allow for cross-management.

"The next topic is whether to approve the proposal submitted by the Orange League champions to promote smart cities in the Orange Islands..."

As soon as Kikuko finished speaking, upon hearing that it was Yu Hai, the champion, who was the topic, the old women and men who had previously looked depressed began to object one after another, not giving anyone else a chance to speak. The entire meeting was filled with the arguing of these old folks.

"No, Rotom technology is not mature enough to handle the tasks assigned by humans..."

"No, Rotom is violating my privacy..."

"No, Rotom is violating people's freedom..."

"How is data security guaranteed? And where is the data center located?"

Snap, snap, snap—

Upon hearing these dissenting voices, Yu Hai couldn't help but applaud, immediately attracting the attention of many people. Some looked puzzled, some surprised, some angry, and others even mocking or watching with amusement...

“If Rotom’s surveillance violates your privacy, you can all resign and go grow sweet potatoes,” Yu Hai said with a smile to the few who objected. “If you don’t want to, there are plenty of others who will. Some people don’t want this privilege, but there are plenty of others who do!”

"You," the old man glared at Yu Hai, speechless, because Yu Hai had touched on the most fundamental issue, their biggest pain point, and the thing they were least willing to let go of.

"Watari, record this meeting. Let me see who's preventing everyone in the Alliance from living a smarter, more efficient, fairer, and better life..."

Yu Hai smiled at Du, as he declared war on this corrupt alliance today. He continued, "Let me see who is unwilling to give up their privileges and is preventing all citizens of the alliance from living a better life for their own privileges and selfish desires."

"Let everyone in the alliance take a good look. Who wants to be the public enemy of everyone in the alliance? Who is it?" Yu Hai muttered to himself as he looked at everyone in the meeting room. Everyone who met his gaze looked away, not daring to meet his eyes, and they all felt guilty.

"Let me think, is it that even a dog in the headquarters cafeteria is arranged to be someone's dog? Or are there companies behind the scenes making a fortune, leaving no way for Alliance citizens to survive? Or are there families behind these people..."

"Knock knock, that's enough," Kikuko couldn't let Yu Hai continue. If he kept going, the Alliance would be completely exposed, and if those underground organizations saw it, it would be a huge joke. It was time for the Alliance to change.

Kikuko finally finalized the proposal and announced to Ukai, "Ukai, do whatever you want to do..."

However, dissenting voices arose again, and it was still those same few people on the screen...

"Heh, no matter what you want to do in the Orange Islands, Guan won't follow..."

"No matter what you try to do in the Orange Islands, Chengdu won't cooperate..."

"The Hoenn region doesn't follow..."

Sinnoh isn't following...

"Unova, Carlos, Alola..."

With the parliaments of various regions indicating they would not participate, Yu Hai remained silent. Regardless of what happened in other regions, the Orange Islands needed to change.

He knew the risks and difficulties of doing so; it was almost like going against the entire old world. The biggest obstacle to implementing his envisioned smart city was not that he was reforming the existing world, but that he was declaring its death...

He was going to offend almost every vested interest group, so the resistance was immense; his influence was limited to the Orange Islands...

However, after his silence, other voices rang out. Du Guan, having reviewed Yu Hai's smart city proposal, slowly raised his hand and said firmly, "I support him..."

"I also support Brother Hai," Xiao Ai, who had already taken over as the champion of the Chengdu region, immediately raised her hand to support Yu Hai when she saw him being bullied. She glared at the old men and women on the screen. Her teacher was Ju Zi, so she wasn't afraid.

“A city managed with smart technology sounds pretty good, and I support him,” Daigo also raised his hand in support. Since the last championship run, Mikuri had been in a slump, but he has taken back the championship title.

“Sinnoh can also choose a city to pilot the program. Rotom is an artificial Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, how can it fall behind others?” Cynthia also expressed her support. She felt that the city where Denji is located was suitable for the program, since it is related to electricity.

"Everyone supports it, so I'll support it too," Alice, who had just taken over as champion, didn't understand what everyone was arguing about, and weakly raised her hand.

“Good idea. Carlos can arrange a pilot program.” Karuni understood that the Orange Islands champion was going to declare war on the older generation, and there was no reason for the younger generation not to follow suit.

Meanwhile, the four Heavenly Kings in the lounge all watched the live broadcast of this high-level meeting, but they didn't have the opportunity to participate.

In a lounge, some of the Four Heavenly Kings couldn't help but clap and cheer, "Great! That's awesome! I support him..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, aren't you scared...?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I've been fed up with those old guys for a long time. Yu Hai, the champion, did a good job criticizing them. I support him..."

"By doing this, we are declaring war on the entire old world..."

Some couldn't help but sigh, saying that they were challenging the unspoken rules of the old world, and that they were in for a lot of work.

After all, not everyone willingly accepts being taken advantage of. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, and people will resist. But the existence of the Dark Division is precisely to deal with such resistance. "Watari? Ai, Daigo, you guys?" Yu Hai almost thought he would be fighting alone, but he didn't expect so many people to support him.

Looking at the champion trainers who supported him, everyone had a smile on their face, especially Xiao Ai, whose smile was the brightest, and Daigo also showed an encouraging look...

These people are almost all the young and promising talents in every region, and they are all leading figures in their respective regions. The champion and the four kings are all supporting his reforms.

He immediately felt much more relaxed. Although he could go on alone even without anyone's support, it felt really good to have someone supporting him!
"Thank you for your support. I believe the future will be even better..."

“I’m getting old. The future belongs to the young people,” Kikuko said with a relieved smile. She looked at the group of young people she had watched grow up and realized they could finally stand on their own. She was at ease.

These old guys, who have fought for decades, it's time for them to step down and retire...

As for those old guys who oppose it, it's no use opposing it now. No wonder that kid created an underground unit first. When faced with resistance to change, the underground unit is a very useful weapon!
"The smart city proposal has been approved. Regions that wish to apply for pilot slots can do so to the Alliance headquarters," Kikuko announced the end of the proposal once again, and couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the old guys on the screens who could only watch helplessly.

The meeting concluded completely in this relaxed atmosphere...

Leaving the conference room and breathing in the fresh air outside, Yu Hai breathed a sigh of relief; he had achieved all three of his objectives.

First, protect Xiao Shun and bring him back to the Orange Islands. After that, it doesn't matter whether Xiao Shun joins the Dark Division or opens a shop to make a living.

Secondly, preserve the new department, the Dark Division, even if it is weakened. After all, most things require his intervention as the champion, so the Dark Division's functions can be retained.

Third, we need to get headquarters' approval for a smart city pilot program, starting with the Diaoyu Islands. Rotom will run the program in a complex chaotic system, and if there are no problems, it can be rolled out to the entire Orange Islands.

Regarding the development of Rotom, smart cities are just an initial concept. With the addition of Rotom, the Elf world will become more intelligent, more efficient, and fairer...

The intelligent Rotom technology helped him achieve the ultimate form of absolute rule of law and fairness, realizing a truly legal world of elves, but unfortunately it is still not a utopia.

Nepotism, hereditary privileges, and unfair starting points within families still exist in this world. He has ways to solve them, but he lacks the ability to do so because he is part of them.

Solving this problem is too difficult...

He has done his best, and the world of elves will be like that in the future...

Consumers' purchasing behavior will become part of Rotom's monitoring, and any malicious fraud, false advertising, or price manipulation will trigger an immediate warning from the system.

Any illegal or criminal acts committed by citizens, such as theft, fraud, or violence, will be immediately stopped by Rotom and reported to the League, whereupon the criminals will be punished.

The business ambitions of entrepreneurs and startup founders will be directed towards pure competition. Any market monopoly, data fraud, or labor exploitation will be identified and punished by the system in real time.

Power will be confined within the "cage" of technology, and any act of abusing power for personal gain will be identified and stopped in its infancy.

He will also leave a path for ordinary people to rise. The newly established department is the Scroll King, born from the Dark Side. The Scroll King who fought his way out of the Dark Side, the trainer who has seen blood and fire, is definitely the smartest, the strongest, and the most qualified to take over the regional champion.

Don't think that the champions can do whatever they want now. These retired old guys aren't too old to fight. Don't forget how many champions have retired over the years since the league was founded; that's an unknown number...

There's also the Alliance's energy barrier. Everyone will have a Rotom, so whenever residents encounter a crisis, such as a tsunami, a meteorite, or even extreme weather like a hurricane...

The number of Rotom in a small town is enough to generate an energy barrier to protect the city's residents from all sorts of disasters.

Even three to five Rotoms are enough to generate an energy barrier to block attacks from a certain direction. This requires Rotoms to have an autonomous judgment mechanism, which can be left to the technical researchers who develop Rotoms.

Rotom, this artificial sprite, is not just intelligent; it has so many untapped abilities that it's practically an omnipotent sprite, capable of transforming into anything it wants, like a treasure chest.

……

After leaving the conference room, Yu Hai prepared to leave the Alliance headquarters, but Du came looking for him. The two stood at the Alliance's main entrance, and he extended his hand to Du, "Du, thanks..."

"No need to be polite, it's only fair," Du said, raising his hand to shake Yu Hai's. He couldn't help but marvel at Yu Hai's amazing transformation. When they first met, Yu Hai was just a homeless orphan with a mosquito coil frog.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Yu Hai has grown to a level that he can only look up to. Just now, in the meeting, he refuted those old guys without holding back or showing them any mercy.

He wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing; if it were him, he really wouldn't have the courage to do it.

"I still want to thank you for your support, which made my plan much smoother," Yu Hai said sincerely to the champion. Without the support of these champions, he could only influence the Orange Islands, but could not reach other regions.

"Just like you said, who exactly is preventing everyone in the alliance from living a better life?" Wataru released his grip, turned his head to look at the outside of the alliance gate, and saw the distant, rolling mountains with their snow-capped peaks. It was truly beautiful!
As the regional champion, he had everything he needed and was eager to achieve something. He was also keen to try out Yu Hai's smart city concept.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, and seeing that Yu Hai was about to leave, he had no choice but to make his request, "I'd like to borrow someone from you..."

"Borrow from whom?" Yu Hai asked, somewhat surprised. Was Du still short of people?
"We can borrow from anyone. We also need to set up secret units in Kanto and Chengdu," Watari had just discussed with Kikuko and planned to build the secret units into the secret units of the alliance headquarters.

Other regions' Dark Divisions can only be branches, and any personnel appointments and management must be approved by headquarters. The Alliance must manage the Dark Divisions in this way.

Just like the Alliance headquarters, the Alliance in the Silver Mountains is the headquarters, while the Alliances in other regions are branches. The same applies to the Dark Division, and this is how this huge Alliance is managed.

“Alright, I’ll send two people for you,” Yu Hai searched his mind for personnel. He definitely couldn’t send Luo Yan and other key members of the Dark Organization, otherwise they would be exposed. He could only choose trainers who were out in the open. He said to Du Ti, “Xiao Ying, my younger brother. He was involved in the formation of the Dark Organization. He should be able to solve your problem…”

"And there's A-Ping, he's the head instructor for my Dark Division's trainer selection, he should be of help to you too, his sister is Xia Bo's apprentice..."

“Xiao Ying, A Ping,” Du pondered the two carefully. He knew Xiao Ying fairly well, after all, he had followed Xiba for a period of time.

But Aping has absolutely no experience with this. Where did Yu Hai get so many talented people? Why can't I find anyone like him?
"Nothing else, I'll be going now. See you next time," Yu Hai said goodbye to Du and was about to turn and leave when Du called him back.

"Regarding your smart city concept, Kanto and Chengdu also want to try it out," Watari called out to Yu Hai, intending to arrange pilot projects in these two regions as well.

"Once my fishing island pilot project is completed, I'll write a pilot report, and we'll talk about it then," Yu Hai waved his hand gently, knowing that it wouldn't be good to expand too much at once.

“Alright,” Wataru watched Yu Hai leave, but a little girl blocked his way. He smiled and turned away, not wanting to disturb their reunion any longer.

He also needs to set up a secret service to wipe out the remaining forces of Team Rocket, and even other underground organizations, and he also needs to figure out the smart city that Yu Hai mentioned.

On the other side, Yu Hai looked at Xiao Ai, who had grown quite a bit taller. She was now a young lady with long, flowing blue hair and a beautiful face that had garnered her countless fans online.

"Brother Hai, are you leaving again?" Xiao Ai tugged at Yu Hai's sleeve, her eyes filled with reluctance. If Yu Hai hadn't found the Phoenix King to revive her, she might have already disappeared!
"Yes, there are too many things to deal with in the Orange Islands. I still need to go back and handle them. Xiao Ai is a champion now, she's all grown up." Yu Hai didn't dare to touch Xiao Ai's head now. It was okay when she was little, but not now. It wouldn't look good if someone saw it.

"Brother Hai, let me tell you a secret, I caught Mewtwo. I used Mewtwo to defeat the teacher and the Champion Road, which is why the teacher let me take over as the champion," Xiao Ai smiled sweetly, lowered her voice and looked around to make sure no one was there before whispering to Yu Hai.

"Is that so? You'd better get along well with Mewtwo," Yu Hai smiled helplessly. No wonder he hadn't seen Mewtwo in the past few years; it turned out that Xiao Ai had captured it.

I don't know how they reconciled. With Mewtwo, Ai is basically invincible. Even he can't beat Ai, so there's no need to worry about Ai's safety.

Mewtwo has found a good home, and he is happy for Mewtwo and Ai, but he still has to say goodbye: "Ai, I'm leaving. Even with Mewtwo, don't slack off!"

"Brother Hai, I will try my best. I still want to challenge the champion's path in the Orange Islands. Brother Hai, please don't hold back!"

"Okay, I'll give it my all," Yu Hai said with a smile after making a promise to Xiao Ai. He then turned and left the Silver Mountain Range, as he still needed to go back and inform Xiao Ying and A Ping to come here on a business trip to help Du assess the Dark Guard trainers.

Just then, Mewtwo, which had been invisible, slowly appeared beside Xiao Ai and whispered to the departing Yu Hai, "Yu Hai, I will protect Xiao Ai. Thank you for taking care of me all those years. I understand what it means to be human, and I know who I am..."
