Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 1047, Air Force Again
"According to the weather station, the blizzard has stopped, temperatures are rising, the legendary Pokémon uprising has been successfully resolved, thanks to Champion Ukai of the Orange Islands who calmed the three legendary birds and allowed them to return to their islands. The ocean currents have also returned to stability..."

"Next up will be an interview and report on Yu Hai, the champion who resolved this incident. Stay tuned..."

pat-

Yu Hai raised his hand and turned off the TV. The morning news interview was pre-recorded; several months had passed since the last time they resolved the extreme weather event caused by the legendary Pokémon.

He had long since resigned from his champion position and was now living a leisurely life at home. He had just finished breakfast and was about to take his old friend to the sea for sea fishing. At this time, Dunmei was still asleep in bed.

He never expected to meet Lugia on the spaceship. Ever since Lugia learned that he lived on Fishing Island, Lugia had often come to visit, and like a child, she would play with the fast-swimming frogs and others in the lake in the backyard.

He went with the elves, and there was nothing else to worry about. The implementation of the smart city went smoothly, and any obstacles encountered were resolved by Xiao Ying, the head of the secret service.

Xiao Ying is his successor who carries out his will and will unswervingly continue down this path, which has made things much easier for him. At most, he will give Xiao Ying some pointers when she doesn't understand something, and intervene when she encounters trouble.

Everything in the Orange Islands is moving in a positive direction. Xiao Ying has taken over as the head of the Dark Division and told him to attend Xiao Ying and Xiao Nai's wedding after he finishes his work in the Dark Division.

Xiao Nai is now in charge of the orphanage. The children from back then have all grown up and have their own lives. Xiao Ying and Xiao Nai both plan to finish their work and then have a proper wedding.

The two childhood sweethearts finally got together. The old drunkard and the old dean must be laughing in their sleep at night. They are now in-laws. How wonderful!

He's also preparing for his wedding, and the entire Atsumi family will be coming. His legendary story of going from an orphan to a champion and finally marrying the dojo's young lady has been passed down in countless versions.

This is unavoidable. When someone becomes famous enough, many historians will study their success, and over time, the story will spread. He didn't care about any of this.

Even if his past is exposed, it doesn't matter. It's not scary that he has a past now, because no one can affect his fishing anyway.

"Boss, so you're here!" A-Ping saw Yu-Hai fishing on the wooden dock and ran over quickly, panting.

"What? You're back from your business trip to headquarters?" Yu Hai smiled at A Ping. This guy really made him look good at headquarters. After all, he's a veteran Elite Four trainer with similar strength to A Ju, and he's at least an Elite Four member in the league.

During the time Wataru was helping him build the Dark Division, A-Ping's various performances impressed Wataru greatly, and Wataru even wanted to recruit A-Ping to work in Kanto, but A-Ping did not agree.

“Yes, boss, I’m here to report on the work of this business trip,” A-Ping said with a smile, scratching his head. He’s not only in the public eye now, but he’s also quite well-known in the Dark Side. After all, he’s the one who assessed the Dark Side trainers in the three regions.

Among this group of dark trainers, he earned a torturous and twisted nickname: the Devil Examiner.

"Go find Xiaoying and Yongci. I've already resigned. They are the champions and heads of the Dark Division of the Orange Alliance," Yu Hai smiled and reminded A Ping that even if he needed to report to someone, he shouldn't go to the wrong person.

“That’s right, I came straight here as soon as I got back. How could I forget about this? I can only ask Xiaoying for help to resign,” Aping suddenly realized, scratching his head awkwardly and laughing. He had almost forgotten his current identity.

He is no longer a Rockets mole or a Spider mole, but the head instructor of the league's secret service. If he wants to resign, he should contact the league.

"Are you going to resign?" This was the first time Yu Hai had heard that A Ping was thinking of resigning. After all, the head instructor didn't have much work to do, so it wasn't bad to have a sinecure.

"Headquarters plans to standardize the Anbu assessment, so my role is no longer significant," Aping said with a helpless smile. He had already passed on all his experience from assessing Anbu trainers to Lance, and after spending a few months with Lance, there was nothing left for him to do.

"Oh, I see," Yu Hai snorted softly, then chuckled, deciding to let the league do as it pleased. He was no longer a champion and didn't need to worry about such things.

Then he asked A-Ping, "When are you free? Come visit the dojo sometime, let's have a couple of drinks. We should have the celebratory drink I promised you back then..."

"Great!" Ah Ping was overjoyed when he heard about the celebratory wine. He hadn't expected his boss to remember. He was so moved that he almost cried. Who wouldn't want to follow a boss who always remembered them?

This might explain why, after completing his mission, he immediately returned to the Diaoyu Islands to report to his boss, rather than to the Orange Alliance. Even after retiring, the boss's personal charisma couldn't stop them from instinctively flocking to him.

“Boss, besides what I mentioned before, I also brought some news this time,” A-Ping continued without pausing, “Gui-Ta and Mei-Chi’s revenge operation in Chengdu is going smoothly. With the help of the Four Heavenly Kings, Shin-Go, they haven’t encountered any trouble…”

"They also said that after they finish dealing with the aftermath, they will go back to Diaoyu Island to hold the wedding, and they want to ask the eldest brother to be their witness. They will also invite everyone to have a lively gathering..."

"Really? I'm not even married myself, yet I'm supposed to be their witness. How could they even think of that?" Yu Hai couldn't help but laugh again when he heard this news. How could those two kids come up with such a thing? They're just two pitiful people, though.

Guitai and Meiqi are two orphans who have no other relatives. Their only relatives are probably their friends with whom they once shared life and death.

"And then there's Shingo, that guy's really something else. He's got two scythes that look so impressive, attracting a huge following wherever he goes, and always followed by a bunch of pretty girls," Aping said, pulling out a poster of Shingo with a cool picture of him and his scythes.

“This guy wanted to promote his dojo, and it seems he’s achieved his goal,” Yu Hai said, taking the poster from A Ping and laughing at Shingo’s flamboyant pose. “Shingo can come over for a good chat at Keita’s and the others’ wedding…”

He felt great. Whether it was Xiaoying, Aping, Guitai and Meiqi, or even Xinwu, they had all achieved their goals.

And then there's Xiao Shun, whom he brought back. He wanted to become a Grass-type Trainer Master, and with his nomination, he filled the gap in the Orange Islands Elite Four, becoming one of the Grass-type Elite Four and achieving his original goal.

Then there's Xiaoming, who, after pulling off his last two heists in the Dark Division, resigned, brought his family from Kanto over, married a girl, and now enjoys a happy life with a wife and children. In Xiaoming's words, his life is complete. And then there's Aju, who also stepped down from his position as head of the Dark Division and runs a hot spring resort in the port's hot spring district with his family. Because of his Poison-type trainer status, he also obtained a doctor's license, specializing in detoxifying Pokémon; he's an expert in this field.

It's best to keep A-Ju and his family under control, given their dangerous nature. He hasn't gone back on his word; he gave new identities and new lives to the trainers who joined the Dark Side to work for him, hoping everyone could start afresh...

“Yes, he will also come over when he has time. His family also has a business here,” A-Ping said, as he was involved in the operation and knew the details very well.

"Boss, Ping, you're all here?" Xiao Feng saw that Ping hadn't returned from the hot spring hotel for a long time, so he went out to look for Ping. He found the boss fishing by the sea and Ping sitting next to him.

"Xiao Feng, what brings you here? And when did you start hanging out with A Ping?" Yu Hai turned his head and saw a girl standing in the direction Xiao Feng had come from; it looked like Xiao Mai.

"Stop talking, sigh," A-Ping raised his hand to cover his face, he couldn't bear to look. He never thought that putting his sister in the Red Lotus Dojo would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, and that pig Xiao Feng would take advantage of her.

"Hehe, boss, Blaine plans to let me take over the Crimson Lotus Gym. My father is also quitting his job on the ship and is planning to retire on Citrus Island. The three of us will be on Citrus Island, and we can finally be reunited..."

As Xiao Feng spoke with Yu Hai, he couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that he would turn that dead end into a life-saving one? His greatest wish was for his whole family to be safe and sound, and now that wish had come true.

All of this is thanks to the boss. He originally wanted to help the boss in the Dark Division, but after the boss stepped down from the champion's position, he also resigned from the Dark Division. Since the boss was no longer in the Dark Division, there was no point in him being in the Dark Division.

"Boss, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now. My sister is still waiting over there." A-Ping turned around and saw his sister, Xiao-Mai. Xiao-Mai and her sister had come over to wait for him in advance after hearing that he was coming back to report on his work.

"Let's go, let's go," Yu Hai waved his hand gently, looking at the buoys bobbing on the sea. He added that they could have the celebratory drinks later when they had time.

"Brother-in-law, didn't you tell the eldest brother?" Xiao Feng and the other man kept backing away, and only after they walked out of the wooden dock did he ask A Ping in a low voice.

"How dare you say that? I asked you to protect my sister, not to take care of her," A-Ping was furious, his eyes gleaming with rage, wishing he could tear this pig apart.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, isn't it all the same thing? My parents really like Xiaomai, so please grant us our wish," Xiaofeng said with a cheeky grin. He knew Aping was joking, which was why he could laugh.

However, his smile quickly faded as A-Ping kicked him into the sand, filling his mouth with sand. He cried out loudly, "Ouch!"

"Brother, what are you doing?" Xiaomai saw Xiaofeng fall to the ground and immediately rushed over to help him up. She gently wiped the sand off Xiaofeng's face and asked softly, "Brother Feng, are you hurt...?"

"Fine, fine, my dear sister, you're siding with outsiders, aren't you?" A-Ping was furious, as if something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say the rest of her words.

This is probably the process every doting brother goes through: his sister will eventually grow up and get married...

……

At noon, the sun was blazing...

Yu Hai cursed under his breath, "Damn it, another air force failure, are you kidding me..."

At this moment, he could certainly understand Ah Ping's feelings—the same anger, the same inability to speak. This is probably a process that every fisherman goes through...

Fortunately, no one saw his Air Force incident, so they just assumed he hadn't fished that morning. He packed up his fishing rod and bucket, placed them under the eaves of the dojo, and went to the kitchen for lunch.

"Brother-in-law, you're back? My older sister cooked today, and her cooking skills have improved." Ada recently came to visit, wanting to see how his older sister was doing. He was really not used to not having his older sister bullying him at home.

"Thump, are you itching for a beating again?" Dunmei, wearing an apron, came over and gave Ada a sharp rap on the head. Why doesn't this little brother ever learn his lesson? He's such a big boy.

"Ouch, sis, couldn't you be a little gentler? What if you hurt your husband?" Ada said, trying to sound pitiful as she ran behind Yu Hai to hide.

"Alright, hurry up and wash your hands and eat lunch," Yu Hai rolled his eyes at Ada. They were both over twenty, and Ada was fifteen or sixteen. In a few years, they would have to think about marriage.

"Hehe, brother-in-law," Ada saw that Yu Hai was a bit serious, so he could only put down his hands and go to the sink to wash his hands with Yu Hai. After seeing that Dunmei had gone back, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked Yu Hai, "Brother-in-law, where did that girl we saw at the dojo yesterday go..."

"A girl?" Yu Hai thought for a moment. There was only one girl who would come to the dojo regularly. Suddenly, he had a look of realization and laughed, "You mean her? She's A Long's daughter. She lives with her mother at the hot spring hotel. She only comes here when she's visiting A Long..."

"Uncle Long is her dad?" Ada suddenly realized that she was Uncle Long's daughter, whom he often saw before. She wasn't exactly an outsider. He'd ask her to go to the beach later...

"Hey, this kid wants to offer cabbage too, that's rare," Yu Hai said with a sly smile when he saw Ada looking thoughtful. He would tell Dunmei about this later and it would be good to match them up, since they were both acquaintances who knew each other well.

That's the good thing about the fairy world; most people are simple and honest, and you feel more at ease with those you know well. That wouldn't be the case in my previous life. Even with acquaintances you know well, there's always the possibility of having your gold coins stolen...

Hopefully, the development of the internet in this world won't be like it was in the past...
