Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 776, Ambush

Elf Center——

Bright lights are sprinkled in every corner, and the trainers coming and going are in a hurry with their own Pokémons.

Yu Hai came to the video phone, and the toucan beside him stood obediently.

At this moment, he had no idea that he had been targeted. He was thinking about his next itinerary. He had to go to Daluo Island to meet the two evil spirits on the deserted island, and he couldn't do it without the Armored Tyrannosaurus.

If it weren't for the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Pidgeot, he felt that he would be kicked out immediately after arriving at Otsuka Island, and there would be no need to go.

He walked to the video phone beside him and lightly pressed the dial button. The beeping sound rang out in the Elf Center but did not attract anyone's attention.

Soon, the call was connected, and the figure of Xiaoai's mother appeared on the screen.

"Is it Xiaohai? Why are you calling?" Xiaoai's mother was originally concentrating on doing other things. When she saw Yu Hai's face, she covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

Yu Hai smiled politely, "Sister Amei, I want to retrieve the Tyrannosaurus Rex. I plan to take it back to my hometown and let it meet my family. When I come back from the hometown of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, I will teleport it back. Will this affect the training of the Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

"It won't affect anything." Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai's mother immediately put down what she was holding, reached out to pick up another phone next to her, and quickly dialed Xia Bo at the Honglian Research Institute at the foot of the mountain.

After the call was connected, she explained the situation to Xia Bo in a clear and logical manner...

In the Red Lotus Research Institute, after listening to this, Xia Bo walked to the Pokémon transport device nearby, recalled the Tyrannosaurus Rex that was in the training ground, and took back the Poké Ball.

With a flash of light, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was teleported to the Red Lotus Gym and appeared in front of Xiao Ai's mother.

Xiao Ai's mother picked up the Tyrannosaurus Rex's Poké Ball, turned around and walked to the transmitter next to the video phone, carefully placed the Poké Ball on it, and activated the transmission device.

"Xiao Hai, the Tyrannosaurus Rex has been teleported to you..."

"Thanks, Sister Amei." Yu Hai saw the message at the bottom of the screen that a Poké Ball had been received. He reached out and picked up the Poké Ball next to him. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard the voice of Xiao Ai's mother again.

"Xiao Hai, don't you want to talk to Xiao Ai?"

"Xiao Ai? Will it disturb Xiao Ai's training?"

When Yu Hai heard Xiao Ai, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

But then, he showed his worry again. He heard that Kikuko was famously strict in training her disciples. He didn't want Kikuko to find out that Xiao Ai was slacking off and double the amount of training for Xiao Ai.

"Please wait a moment." Xiao Ai's mother put down the phone and called the maid of the dojo over. She frowned slightly and asked about the whereabouts of Xiao Ai and Kouma-chan with concern.

After a brief recollection, the maid shook her head to indicate that she was not sure.

Xiao Ai's mother sighed helplessly in her heart. Since she didn't see him, he must not be in the gym. With Xia Bo's Arcanine taking care of him, she was not too worried about Xiao Ai's safety.

It's just that the child is too playful, and now she has a new playmate, Komari, who runs around all day and disappears without a trace, which really gives her a headache.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Hai." Xiao Ai's mother picked up the phone again and said to Yu Hai on the screen with an apologetic look on her face, "Xiao Ai is not at the gym, and I don't know where this naughty child has gone."

"Haha, it's okay, let's leave it this way for now, Sister Amei." Yu Hai smiled and waved his hand, still with a gentle smile on his face.

"Okay, let's do this for now." Xiao Ai's mother hung up the phone with a hint of helplessness in her tone. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and decided to go out to look for Xiao Ai.

Yu Hai also ended the call. He put the Tyrannosaurus's Poké Ball into his backpack, then walked out of the Poké Center and came to the open space outside.

The sun shone on his body, making him feel warm. He looked up at the blue sky and white clouds and blew a whistle. A toucan gull quickly flew over from behind him and landed steadily beside him.

He skillfully climbed onto the back of the toucan and patted its neck. The toucan then flapped its huge wings and flew towards the shore.

During the flight, he took out the map of the Orange Islands from his pocket and looked at it carefully. From Xiagan Island to Dapeng Island in the west, there was a straight line on the map that passed between Ponkan Island and Kumquat Island.

Xiagan Island is located at the westernmost end of the archipelago, while Dalung Island is in the middle of the archipelago.

He thought that if he let the Blastoise swim slowly, based on its snail speed, it would take at least two days to reach Daluo Island. If he flew on a Toucan Gull, he could reach Daluo Island tonight.

Thinking about it this way, the Blastoise is too slow, so I decided to give up.

Moreover, there is a black ship that often appears between Xiagan Island, Jingan Island and Ponkan Island, so this sea area is not peaceful.

However, the black ships only appear at night, and those criminals only act recklessly at night.

During the day, the only things coming and going are ordinary cruise ships, which is relatively normal and not as dangerous as at night.

After much consideration, Yu Hai decided that flying would be safer. This way, he could reach Otsuka Island at night. At noon, he could find a small deserted island along the way, stop to have lunch, and then continue on his journey.

He rode on the toucan and flew towards the direction of Otsuka Island. He had no idea that several "little tails" were quietly following him.

……

at the same time--

On the vast sea, a huge cargo ship is sailing silently through the waves.

The hull was painted in a dark color, reflecting a cold and hard light in the sun. There were some cargoes piled on the deck, covered with a huge oilcloth. The sea breeze whistled past, making the flags on the side of the ship flutter.

In the captain's room, the lights were dim. Brother Storm was tall and strong, wearing a black captain's uniform with some signs of wear and tear, and a black cloak that rustled in the sea breeze outside the window.

He frowned and stared at the communicator in his hand. On the screen of the communicator, two red dots were flashing rapidly, one moving fast and the other slower.

The faster red dot corresponds to a flying Pokémon...

At this moment, a flying elf was hanging far behind Yu Hai. It was a long-winged gull, small and agile, and extremely common on every island in the Orange Islands.

In order not to attract Yu Hai's attention, the tracker deliberately chose this kind of elf to track. The long-winged gull sometimes flapped its wings, and sometimes glided with the help of air currents, always keeping a safe distance from Yu Hai.

The long-winged gull was mixed in with many other long-winged gulls, and its appearance was nothing special. If you didn't pay close attention, you wouldn't notice that a long-winged gull was following Yu Hai closely.

The slower-moving red dot is an elf swimming in the water. It is the water elf that the tracker is riding. The tracker follows carefully behind it, not daring to get too close.

After all, the person he was facing was the top trainer Ukai. The stalker was filled with fear and only dared to follow him from a distance for fear of being discovered.

As long as he successfully completes this tracking mission, he will be rewarded handsomely when he returns. A hint of greed flashed in the tracker's eyes.

"From this direction, where is he going?" The first mate walked forward, looked at the communicator screen, his face full of confusion and questions, and a voice sounded in the captain's room.

The second mate pondered for a moment, gesturing with his fingers on the screen to indicate the route, and guessed: "He passed directly between Jinkan Island and Ponkan Island. If he continues in this direction, the next destination may be Da Ponkan Island, Hasa Island, or Naipuru Island."

"Not that far. He is a trainer from Hasa Island, and he is probably going back to Hasa Island. We can intercept him in the waters between Otsuki Island and Hasa Island. Once he enters Hasa Island, we can't do anything to him."

Brother Storm interrupted the second mate, his tone unquestionable, even certain that Yu Hai would go to Hasa Island.

"Then let's declare Otsuka Island as the battlefield. It's an uninhabited desert island anyway." The first mate agreed, with a fierce look on his face.

"I heard that there are two king-level overlords on the island. Will the battle make them angry and attack us?" the second mate asked again with some concern.

"Fighting on the periphery should not attract the Overlord's attention. If the Overlord is really attracted by then, the two of you will be responsible for stopping the Overlord, and I will deal with this bastard." Brother Storm slapped the armrests of the tables and chairs hard, gritting his teeth.

"Based on the intelligence we've gathered so far, this guy only has two king-level Pokémon, Frog and Electric Beast, and they need to be dealt with by Pokémon that can restrain them. Especially the Frog, I feel like it's going to take two Pokémon of the same level to deal with it." The first mate frowned and analyzed carefully.

"Don't worry, I've been prepared. He will never escape from my grasp." Brother Storm's face was sinister, with fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He stared at the red dot on the screen that represented Yu Hai's position.

When he thought of the humiliation he had suffered from Yu Hai before, he was so angry that he wanted to eat Yu Hai alive. This time, he was determined to kill this guy who had brought shame to him and made him die in front of the whole world...

He wanted to cut this guy into pieces and expose his body in the wilderness to relieve his hatred.

"The next issue is the route. We are not on this route at the moment?" The first mate walked forward, frowned, and looked at Brother Storm with a worried look on his face.

Brother Bao Feng snorted coldly, a cunning flash in his eyes, and sneered: "Don't worry about the route. It is precisely because it is not on this route that it will not arouse suspicion..."

"We are sailing now. We can set up an ambush in the uninhabited waters between Daliao Island and Hasa Island. Once he arrives at Daliao Island, we can take action immediately. We need to kill him before anyone finds out and rush back quickly. This way, we will have sufficient proof of our absence..."

As Brother Storm spoke, he pointed his finger at the planned ambush route on the nautical chart.

"Okay, we don't need to go to the island. We can wait outside the island. A trainer who has explored Ōtsuki Island mentioned that the flying-type Pokémon on the island are all Pidgeot's spies. Once they find that there are humans on the deserted island, Pidgeot will get the news quickly."

The first mate added details, a look of caution on his face.

"Okay, that's the plan. We need to act quickly this time. The three of us have five Heavenly King-level elves in our hands, which is more than enough to deal with the two Heavenly King-level elves of that kid. Even if we encounter an emergency, my three Heavenly King-level elves alone are enough to pin the kid to death on the deserted island."

Brother Storm clenched his fists, his tone full of confidence and ferocity. He believed that leaving the competition venue and fighting in the wilderness would be their advantage, because they were ruthless enough. The gym trainers in the alliance were all flowers in a greenhouse, paper tigers that would rot if torn and die if burned...

After saying that, he put the communicator back into his pocket and stood up. The black cloak behind him swung violently with his movements, making a rustling sound.

He strode towards the captain's room. Before leaving, he turned back and nodded slightly to the third mate, his eyes full of trust and entrustment, indicating that the third mate should take good care of the freighter.

Then, Brother Storm walked onto the deck and released his flying-type Pokémon. Upon seeing this, the first and second mates also released their own flying-type Pokémon.

The three of them rode on the elves, soared into the air amid the whistling sea breeze, and sped towards the predetermined target.

At this time, the freighter they were on was sailing southeast of the Orange Islands, near the mysterious Cat Island.

According to the original route, the freighter will continue northward to the Seven Fruit Islands, Napuru Island and other places.

Although this location is still some distance away from Hasa Island, fortunately they decided to intercept Yu Hai in advance. Before Yu Hai goes to Hasa Island, they are confident that they can intercept Yu Hai who is traveling in the sky halfway.

……

at the same time--

Inside the Xiagan Gym, sunlight filtered through the windows, illuminating the entire gym. The clock hands on the wall had already passed the morning training time, but Ketunmei was still nowhere to be seen. The special training that was supposed to take place was put on hold, and an unusual silence permeated the gym.

"It's so late, and Xiaomei hasn't gotten up yet. She still has special training coming up. She's been playing for many days, so it's time for her to focus." Dunmei's father sat at the lunch table, muttering while chewing the food in his mouth.

He swallowed the last bite of rice, put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up from the chair, and wanted to call his daughter to get up.

"I'll go wake up my sister." Seeing his father get up, Ada volunteered and quickly got up and walked towards Dunmei's room.

He came to the door of Dunmei's room, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently a few times. The sound was particularly clear in the quiet corridor, "Sister, it's time to get up."

He shouted, but there was no response from inside the house. He knocked several more times, but still no response. He felt a little puzzled and reached out to turn the doorknob.

As the door slowly opened, the scene inside the room came into view. On Dunmei's bed, the quilt was bulging high, as if there was someone inside. He walked forward, stretched out his hand and lifted the quilt without hesitation, "Sister, the sun is shining on your butt!"

With a "clang", a Psyduck doll rolled out of the quilt and landed at Ada's feet.

Ada stood there in a daze for a moment, his eyes wide open, his face full of astonishment.

Then, a deafening scream came from his mouth: "Ahhh, my sister is gone..."

This scream was like a thunder, instantly breaking the tranquility of the gym...

Dunmei's father was reading a newspaper in the kitchen. When he heard the shout, the newspaper in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang". He stood up suddenly and rushed to Dunmei's room in a few steps.

"What's going on?" Dunmei's father rushed into the room and quickly glanced around the house. He only saw an empty bed and a Psyduck doll on the ground. Looking more closely, the pink space backpack they gave to Dunmei was also gone.

"What should we do? Dad, how many times has Xiaomei run away from home? Where will she go this time?" Dunmei's mother also hurried over, and when she saw this scene, she was so anxious that she kept spinning on the spot, rubbing her hands together, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.

"Don't panic, Xiaomei wouldn't run away from home for no reason. There must be a reason why she left." Dunmei's father frowned, trying to calm himself down and trying to make some sense of his confused thoughts.

"That's impossible. Brother Hai is still here. Where else can my sister go?" Ada looked confused and muttered unconsciously.

As soon as these words came out, Dunmei's father and mother were like being struck by lightning. They looked at each other for an instant, and a hint of realization flashed in their eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll make a phone call and maybe I'll know." Dunmei's father took a deep breath. There was no other way now. He could only give it a try and picked up his phone to make a call.

"Dududu-"

The sound of the phone dialing was particularly harsh in the quiet room, as if urging the panic in the hearts of several people. They couldn't wait to know the result.

……

At the same time, the sun shines on the vast sea, and the waves sparkle...

Ukai was sitting on the back of a toucan, heading towards Ootsuki Island. The sea breeze blew across his cheeks and ruffled his hair.

Suddenly, he felt a slight vibration in his arms. He was slightly stunned and reached out to take out the satellite phone from his arms.

Seeing that the number displayed on the screen was Dunmei's father's, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, thinking to himself: "Why is he calling at this time? What could be the matter?"

He gently pressed the answer button, put the phone close to his ear, and asked, "Hello, owner, what's going on?"

On the other end of the phone, Dunmei's father's voice was filled with anxiety and worry: "Xiaohai, Xiaomei is missing, even her space backpack is gone. We suspect that Xiaomei ran away from home. Have you seen Xiaomei over there?"

"Ah? Amei is missing?" When Yu Hai heard the news, he was like being struck by thunder. He was completely stunned. A big blank expression suddenly appeared on his forehead. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
"Why did this child run away from home again? Could it be that she came to find me? But I am in the vast ocean, with nothing around except the endless sea water. How can she find me? This is simply like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Unless Dunmei has some way to determine his location, such as installing a locator for himself.

Thinking of this, Yu Hai frowned tightly, and he began to recall carefully. He didn't feel anything unusual about his body.

Where would the positioning device be?

He thought for a moment and suddenly realized that a locator would definitely not be placed in a backpack. The space backpack can block signals. If it is hung outside the backpack, it can be seen at a glance, which is not appropriate. Could it be placed in the side pocket of the backpack?

Thinking of this, he immediately moved and brought the backpack behind him to the front. Since he was sitting on the back of a toucan, his movements were a little inconvenient, but he still stretched out his hand eagerly and fumbled in the two side pockets of the backpack.

After a while, his fingers touched a small hard object. He took it out and saw that it was a small black box with a red dot on it.

"Damn, when was this thing put here? Isn't she afraid that the backpack will be swallowed by Gengar and the signal will be blocked?" Yu Hai had a helpless look on his face and complained in his heart.

However, he had to admit that it was a clever idea that Dunmei could come up with.

Although the signal will be isolated after being swallowed by Gengar, I will definitely take out the backpack after arriving at Ootsuki Island, and it will still be located at that time. It is indeed a good choice to leave it here.

Now I understand that Dunmei did run away from home, and her target was most likely me. The only problem now is that I don't know where Dunmei is at the moment.

Yu Hai looked back at the vast sea behind him, and guessed in his heart that Dunmei was probably still in some sea area behind him.

……

"Xiao Hai, have you seen Xiao Mei?"

On the phone, Dunmei's father's voice was obviously anxious, and every word revealed his concern for his daughter.

"Master, I'm traveling in the sky right now. There's nothing but sea all around me, and I can't see a single person." Yu Hai sighed helplessly, and tried to comfort Dunmei's father in a gentle tone.

"Master, Amei has installed a locator on me. She is most likely coming for me. Don't worry, I will call you as soon as I see Amei."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked the feathers of the gull beneath him, trying to calm it down. It wasn't a big problem. As a trainer, Dunmei wouldn't get into trouble that easily.

"Xiao Hai, where are you? I'll be there right away." Dunmei's mother was anxious and snatched the phone, her words full of urgency.

"I'm flying over the sea now. I chose a direction randomly. I'm not sure where I'm flying to." Yu Hai knew that he couldn't let Dunmei's mother come over, so he told a little lie to reassure Dunmei's parents first.

"Don't be too anxious. If Amei really comes to see me, I will definitely send her back. Don't worry." Yu Hai smiled bitterly and thought to himself, this girl is really a worry.

If I had known this would happen, I should have been more careful...

Oh, forget it, he really should have thought of it earlier, girlfriends and such are really troublesome...

"Xiao Hai, we understand. When you see Xiao Mei and confirm the location, give me a call and I will ask King Dai Dai to teleport over to pick up Xiao Mei." Dunmei's father took the phone and instructed Yu Hai calmly.

"Okay, Master, goodbye." Yu Hai hung up the satellite phone, carefully put the locator with the red dot into his shirt pocket, and zipped it up.

This thing can't be lost. If it is lost, Dunmei will really not be able to find him.

Since I was going to Dalung Island anyway, I might as well wait for Dunmei there. Once Dunmei arrived, I would contact Dunmei’s father to take him back.

He shook his head helplessly. It was such a hassle. He was tricked by this girl because of his carelessness. He felt speechless just thinking about it.

"Hey." Yu Hai patted the toucan's neck gently, indicating that the toucan was fine, and continued to fly towards Ootsuki Island, trying to arrive there in the evening.

He knew that Dunmei didn't have any flying-type Pokémon, and would most likely use Slowking's teleportation ability to come here.

Dunmei hasn't shown up yet, probably because he is waiting for me to stop. After all, the speed of teleportation is much faster than flying on a Toussaint Gull.
