Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 820, stay

The two of them walked in the corridor of the gym. The entire corridor was dyed a light orange-red by the setting sun. The setting sun made the glass windows hot. When their fingertips lightly touched them, they could feel the scorching temperature coming from the glass.

The afterglow fell on the wooden floor. When I stepped on it, the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the shadow alternately brushed the soles of my feet, as if two completely different seasons were flowing under my feet.

The shadows of the two people continued to extend behind them. Xia Bo's slightly hunched figure and Yu Hai's tall outline overlapped and intertwined on the ground, like an elongated silhouette. Even the suspended dust was wrapped in fine golden light. As their footsteps moved, the tips of their shadows swayed gently on the wall.

"The explosive combined attack technique you mentioned should be the one used by the Fast Swimming Frog and the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus." Xia Bo put his hands behind his back, his fingertips unconsciously stroking his chin, his brows slightly furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

Ever since the Tyrannosaurus Rex came to the Red Lotus Gym, he has been spending all day in the laboratory, conducting in-depth research on the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

In the laboratory, various instruments recorded the test data. After many experiments, he finally discovered that the so-called combined attack technique was nothing more than a simple combination of moves, not some unique secret technique.

After the moves were stacked, the explosive power was truly amazing. He had once simulated a battle in the training ground, and the weaker opponent could not withstand a single blow. Even a Pokémon of the same level as the Tyrannosaurus Rex would feel very uncomfortable if it was hit.

Thinking of this, Xia Bo couldn't help but stop and turned his head to cast an admiring look at Yu Hai, with amazement on his face: "This is a really good idea. In fact, some people have tried similar combinations of moves, but they are difficult to operate in practice. Not only is it difficult to control accurately, but it also requires extremely high physical strength of the elves. If you are not careful, the consequences of the counter-injury will be unbearable."

Xia Bo continued walking in front. When he passed by the window, his eyes swept over the dead leaves falling outside. The withered yellow leaves swirled and fell to the ground.

He raised his hand and continued, "Speaking of lightning armor, it is actually not impossible. Moves like Crazy Volt can cover the entire body with electricity and crash into the opponent to attack, but the user will also suffer certain damage."

"When the elves have the advantage of defense and speed, the first choice should be to dodge the attack. Only when it is really impossible to avoid, use defense. Putting lightning armor on the electric shock monster and keeping the electric current covering the whole body will not only consume a lot of physical strength, but the defensive effect will not be ideal."

"It would be better to let the electric shock beasts adapt to the stimulation of electric current to improve their speed and explosive power. At the same time, they should focus on practicing fist-type moves such as fire fist, lightning fist, and ice fist. After mastering these fist-type moves, when they encounter attacks that cannot be avoided, they can just use their fists to blast them away."

Yu Hai scratched his head, his fingertips messing up his hair, an awkward smile appeared on his face, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red: "Uh, it seems so."

He was puzzled in his heart, and then he realized that he had fallen into the misconception of a time traveler. The combat systems of the two worlds were completely different, and blindly copying the combat methods of the neighboring world was really putting the cart before the horse. The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous his idea seemed to him.

"Your electric beast is of a different color, right? Is it a king that absorbed some kind of electricity and broke through?" Xia Bo suddenly stopped and looked sideways at Yu Hai with sharp eyes, as if he was looking at a rare research sample. An elf with such obvious characteristics could not stump these experienced elf research experts.

"It was at the Rocket Team base, absorbing the electricity from the Lightning Bird and Raikou captured by the Rocket Team," Ukai gritted his teeth and told the truth, then added about the situation at the Lake of Anger.

"Good boy, I didn't expect you to be there." Xia Bo raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise appeared on his face, then his eyes drooped slightly, nodded secretly, looking at the electric beast in his hand, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"You're lucky, kid. This electric shock beast has a special way of breaking through. The electricity it can withstand is stronger than that of its peers. The training method of using electric current to stimulate body cells and enhance speed and explosive power is also more advantageous than that of its peers. Maybe after training, other electric shock beasts will only have half the effect of this electric shock beast..."

"That's great, this elf will stay here!" Yu Hai raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a relaxed smile, and waved his hand casually.

When he thought about having Xia Bo, an experienced elf scientist, to help with training, he was very excited. He would use scientific methods to train the electric beast, and he would definitely be able to obtain an electric beast with extremely strong explosive power.

"When I have time, I will help you study and develop the explosive power of the electric beast to the limit without hurting your body." Xia Bo had a gentle smile on his face and walked towards the backyard. Yu Hai hurriedly followed him, and the two soon arrived at the backyard.

In the backyard of Honglian Gym, the last sunset made the ground hot. It might also be because it was too close to the volcano. The closer to the crater, the hotter it was.

When Yu Hai and Xia Bo came to the backyard, they happened to see Xiao Ai, Koumeiro and Xiao Feng training elves.

On the backyard training ground, the elves shouted and the wooden stakes used for training made a thumping sound. Everyone was concentrating on training and didn't notice the arrival of Xia Bo and Yu Hai at all.

"How is Xiao Ai doing recently? Has her strength improved? Have you been training well?" Yu Hai and Xia Bo found a shady spot under the eaves and sat down. The shadow of the eaves just covered them.

He looked at Xiao Ai not far away, who was loudly commanding the elves to attack the wooden stakes. The hair on his forehead was stuck to his face with sweat, and the training clothes on his body were also soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his body.

Looking at Xiao Ai's hard and serious look, he nodded secretly. It seemed that Xiao Ai was training hard.

"Xiao Ai is growing very fast and will be taken away by Kikuko soon. Kikuko wants to keep her by her side and teach her personally." Xia Bo looked at Xiao Ai's back, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes full of reluctance.

But he soon relaxed his brows, and his tone was full of relief. He knew what Kikuko meant. By following the champion Kikuko, Xiao Ai could indeed learn more than here.

After Xiao Ai grows up for a while, he will send Xiao Ai over there personally. At that time, Xiao Ai's mother will be there to take care of Xiao Ai. He can't help feeling a little empty when he thinks that there will be one less lively and lovely little girl in the gym.

"Really? I heard that King Kikuko took over the Chengdu champion." When Yu Hai heard that Xiao Ai was leaving, he was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he curiously asked about another thing.

"Yes, she took over the championship. I didn't expect that the old lady was doing so well. Xiao Ai should be able to learn more by following her." Xia Bo smiled helplessly and shook his head slightly.

When he thought of the alliance's arrangements, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, I really don't know if that stupid guy Ohnoki can still defeat Kikuko now.

"What about that little girl? Is she used to living here?" Seeing that Xia Bo was unwilling to say more, Uehara followed Xia Bo's gaze and looked at Komari who was training with Dianlong, and changed the subject.

"She is just a child, but she trains so hard. She is a very hard-working child." Xia Bo raised a smile and glanced at Xiao Ai, Komari and Xiao Feng who were training in the backyard.

These three children were extremely serious about training the elves. Even though no one was urging them or forcing them, they got up early every day to start training as if they had made an agreement and never slacked off.

"What about Xiaofeng?" Yu Hai's gaze passed across the training ground and fell on Xiaofeng who was instructing the elves.

His fingers gently stroked the edge of his trousers. He knew in his heart that Xiaofeng's family situation was very complicated. As a double agent for the Rockets and the League, he was not trusted by either side. The difficulties could be imagined, so he did not dare to ask too much.

"He is also a very good kid." Xia Bo's lips curled up with a faint smile again, but his eyes were not warm at all. He folded his hands in front of his chest and turned his face slightly, obviously unwilling to say more. Xiaofeng's family's current situation was largely caused by Yu Hai. He just relied on his status as the gym leader to destroy the Rocket Team's base in advance and help clean up the mess. Hearing Yu Hai's questioning, he felt a little speechless.

"It's getting dark soon." Yu Hai hit a snag. Seeing that Xia Bo was like a loach and he couldn't get any useful information out of him, he had to change the subject.

He looked up at the sky. The clouds in the west had already turned dark red. He smiled at Xia Bo and said, "Call the electric shock monster out. I will give it some instructions so that it won't be bad if we don't recognize you and start a fight..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp "bang" sound, and Xia Bo pressed the button of the Poké Ball. A red light flashed, and the huge body of the electric beast appeared in front of everyone.

“Roar——” As the electric monster appeared, an oppressive aura of the king instantly filled the entire backyard.

Xiao Ai, Kouma and Xiao Feng, who were training, were shocked by the pressure and stopped their movements. They all turned their heads to look at the electric beast under the eaves. Xiao Ai clenched the towel in her hand, Kouma subconsciously hugged the neck of the electric dragon, and Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes and looked alert.

"Electric Beast, you need to stay in the Red Lotus Gym from now on. You have to listen to Xia Bo, okay?" Yu Hai raised his arm and pointed directly at Xia Bo. He also shook his finger deliberately to make Electric Beast notice the bald old man next to him, who was Xia Bo.

He knew in his heart that the electric beasts were belligerent and would only recognize the strong, and if he didn't make it clear in advance, he might cause trouble.

"Xia Bo will arrange training for you, and you will train with the Charmander and the Tyrannosaurus. You have to keep an eye on them too, and don't cause any trouble, okay?" Yu Hai mentioned Tie Hanhan and Charmander, and Xia Bo told him that these two guys were training in the crater.

"Roar!" The electric monster turned its head and stared at Xia Bo, an ordinary human with its scarlet eyes.

However, it could feel that there was a dangerous aura emanating from the Charmander next to the old man in front of it. But after hearing the trainer's instructions, it nodded heavily and kept the words in mind.

"Brother Hai, Brother Hai!" Yu Hai had just finished explaining the precautions to the electric monster when he heard a crisp shout. Turning around, Xiao Ai was already running towards him with her short legs and a face full of excitement.

When she got closer, Xiao Ai suddenly jumped up, wrapped her arms tightly around Yu Hai's neck, and hung on him like a koala.

"Xiao Ai, long time no see. There are so many people here. Come down quickly." Yu Hai was a little at a loss as to what to do due to Xiao Ai's sudden action. He looked a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at the bald old man next to him who looked like he wanted to kill him.

He reached out and gently touched Xiao Ai's sweaty hair, wanting to put Xiao Ai down. He caught a glimpse of Xiao Feng not far away from him, with the corner of his eye. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was obviously trying not to laugh and laugh at him, which made him even more embarrassed.

"No, Brother Hai, Xiao Ai wants to hug Brother Hai!" Xiao Ai not only did not let go, but hugged Yu Hai even tighter and twisted around on Yu Hai.

She raised her rosy little face, her eyes sparkling, and smiled, "I haven't seen Brother Hai for a long time. I miss him so much!"

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai!" Xiao Mei couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped on the stool next to her and leaned close to Xiao Ai's ear, reminding her in a low voice, "You are all sweaty, it's so embarrassing!"

"Ah?" Xiao Ai finally reacted, turned her head to look at her wet sleeves, and instantly screamed as if she was scalded, and jumped off Yu Hai in panic.

Her cheeks quickly turned red, her head almost lowered to her chest, she grabbed Komari's hand and walked away, complaining in a low voice: "Why didn't you say so earlier..."

"I want to, too. Who told you to run so fast?" Komari sighed helplessly and put her hand on her forehead. Seeing her best friend's impetuous look, she felt a little amused. This was too passionate and unrestrained.

As Xiao Ai and Xiao Yu walked away hand in hand, their whispers gradually became blurred.

In the backyard, Xia Bo looked at this scene, shook his head helplessly, and shouted to Xiao Feng who was sorting out the training equipment: "Go wash up, it's almost time for dinner..."

"Okay, Master." Xiao Feng stopped what he was doing, looked up at Yu Hai, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he just sighed softly, lowered his head, silently walked around the two of them towards the bathroom, and his back seemed as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

As Xiaofeng and the other two finished their training and left the backyard, Yu Hai and Xia Bo also turned and walked into the house.

After walking through the corridor and turning a few corners, they arrived at the kitchen door, where the hot air wrapped in the aroma of food hit them in the face.

Xiaoai's mother, Xiaofeng's mother and Xiaoyu's mother were busy around the stove. The pot was bubbling and the cut vegetables were neatly arranged on the chopping board. Dinner was almost ready.

Yu Hai and Xia Bo arrived at the right time, and Xiaoyu was the only one sitting quietly at the dining table, swinging her legs.

Xia Bo also took out a wooden toy from his pocket and placed it in front of Xiaoyu to amuse the child.

"Are they the mother and daughter the Orange Islands refugees you mentioned?" Xia Bo straightened up and his eyes fell on Xiaoyu's mother who was putting steamed buns into the steamer.

She was wearing the gym's work clothes, her hair casually tied behind her head, and she was concentrating on the work in her hands. She looked no different from an ordinary peasant woman.

He had heard Yu Hai mention this before. This was a mother in distress, raising her young daughter alone. Yu Hai couldn't bear to see this, so he brought her to the gym.

He heard from Yukai that he planned to leave Xiaoyu in the Guren Gym and let her live with other children.

As for Xiaoyu's mother, the hot spring resort at the foot of the mountain was short of staff, and he could help arrange a job for her.

In this way, the mother and daughter can have a stable life, and the child may have a different future.
