Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 823, Ten Days Later

It was the fifty-fourth day after leaving the Orange Islands, and it was sunny.

On the twentieth day of arriving at the Honglian Gym, the morning was broken by a blinding bright light. Yu Hai felt his eyelids burning in his sleep, as if a fire was burning in front of his eyes.

The first one to notice the abnormality was the Umbreon. It had been curled up on the edge of the bed taking a nap, but the sudden burst of white light from the incubator made its pupils shrink suddenly. All the black fur on its body stood up, and it dug the floor with its claws. It opened its mouth and bit the hem of Ukai's pajamas, pulling it back with all its might, making anxious whimpers in its throat.

"Boo, boo..."

"What's wrong, Umbreon." Ukai opened his eyes dazedly, and was instantly squinted by the white light. His vision was all white, with only the outline of the incubator in front of him glowing with a halo, like a large lantern in the thick fog.

He raised his hand to block his eyes, but the light leaking through his fingers was still so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes. When he saw clearly that it was the incubator that was glowing, he suddenly woke up, threw back the quilt, and stepped barefoot on the cold floor.

He almost stumbled and knocked the door open. He didn't care about the pain when his knee hit the door. He picked up the hot incubator and rushed out. He stumbled into the corridor and quickly closed the wooden door.

Glancing at the empty corridor, his tense shoulders finally relaxed, and he leaned against the cold wall, breathing heavily, with cold sweat on the back of his neck running down his pajamas. He held the slightly hot incubator tightly in his hands, and only gently put it on the ground after making sure that no one was around.

The reason why we need to find a deserted place is that after the elf eggs are hatched, the first sight of the newborn elves is crucial. The first moving creature that the newborn elves see will be regarded as their parents, which will determine the foundation of mutual trust in the future.

As the bright light gradually faded, he slowly approached the incubator, staring at it without blinking, and saw a three-bee appear in the incubator.

The bodies of the three bees are shaped like three beehives, and each beehive has a face. A thin and long antenna extends from the top of the two upper faces, swaying gently, and the translucent wings on both sides tremble slightly, making a subtle buzzing sound.

"It's really the three bees." Yu Hai squatted in an empty space in the corridor, his fingertips unconsciously stroking his trouser legs. Seeing this result, he was not surprised at all. He had expected it.

Staring at the round body of the three bees, I just don’t know what their potential is. If the potential of the three bees is too poor, then find someone to send them away, or keep them in the Red Lotus Gym.

With the dim light of dawn, he got closer to observe. The three bees were very strange elves. Only females could evolve into queen bees, while males could not evolve.

"Female," Yu Hai whispered to himself. There was a red dot above the face below the three bees, which was also a sign of female.

As a rare example among insect-type Pokémon where gender determines the direction of evolution, this means that this three-bee has the possibility of evolving into a queen bee. He couldn't help but feel slightly excited. Now all he lacks is potential.

"Honey, honey." The three bees' newly born compound eyes were like six moist black beads. When their heads turned left and right, their two slender antennae also vibrated at a high frequency.

It flapped its translucent wings, and the tips of its wings hit the glass cover of the incubator with a light "tapping" sound. Its tiny body bounced backwards, and its round belly bounced on the cushion.

“Don’t be impatient.” Yu Hai took out a plastic sealed jar from the side pocket of his backpack. It was ordinary honey he bought at the gym store three days ago. He dipped his index finger into some amber sticky liquid, opened the incubator glass cover, and put his finger into the incubator.

As soon as the sweet fragrance of honey spread, three bees immediately came over. Three small mouths moved at the same time, and the tiny mouthparts left a fine numbing sensation on the fingertips.

He deliberately controlled the feeding amount. The energy of the honey produced by the king-level queen bee was too overbearing, which was dangerous for the three newly hatched bees. He could only feed the little guys with Gengar's snacks.

Watching the three bees eating the last bit of honey, their furry bodies rolled up into a yellow ball in his palm, their antennae slowly drooping, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. They looked really cute, but it was a pity that he was not a trainer specializing in bug-type trainers.

"Umbreon." Ukai tilted his head to signal, and Umbreon immediately used its claws to open the backpack and took out an empty Poké Ball.

He picked up the cold Poké Ball and gently rubbed the raised button with his thumb. With a slight "click", a red light enveloped the curled body of Three Bees. The red light put Three Bees into the Poké Ball, and he also opened the panel of Three Bees.

"Wow, it's really a baby." Yu Hai loosened his fingers that were holding the Poké Ball slightly and looked at the immature panel of the Three Bees. The potential was 52 points, and the remaining level was only one. The rest of the proficiency was zero.

The potential of 52 points is not top-notch, but it is also worth cultivating. According to experience, as long as it is cultivated properly, a superb queen bee may be born in the future.

He thought of the remains of the beehive he had traded before, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously. The white-haired old man would never have thought that such a seemingly ordinary exchange would allow him to get a big bargain.

Not only did he get honey and beehives, but he also unexpectedly harvested a three-bee honeybee with good potential. I don't know if the old man regretted it at the time, but now he is getting a good deal.

Crunchy——

As the wooden door creaked open at the end of the corridor, he suddenly came to his senses, quickly stuffed the incubator into his backpack, and put the Poké Ball into his trouser pocket. His movements were so skillful as if he had done it countless times.

He has made up his mind that he will cultivate this three bees himself. When these three bees grow up, they may be able to achieve honey freedom in the future.

He came to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face, which made him feel much more awake. The smell of breakfast wafted from the kitchen. Xiao Ai's mother was putting steaming buns and porridge on the table.

"Sister Amei, breakfast is delicious," Yu Hai took the bowl and chopsticks and finished his breakfast in a few bites. The breakfast is different every day and he never gets tired of it. Xiao Ai's mother's cooking skills are really good.

After putting down his bowl and chopsticks and saying a brief goodbye to everyone else in the gym, he picked up his backpack and walked out of the gate of the Red Lotus Gym in the morning light.

The daily training schedule emerged in his mind. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he always held the training of non-King-level Pokémon in the backyard of the gym.

The training of the king-level elves was moved to the foot of the mountain on the grounds that their destructive power was too great. Although it was a bit troublesome, this arrangement could ensure the training effect and avoid unnecessary trouble.

He walked down the familiar mountain path, not caring about the dew on his trouser legs. At the foot of the mountain, in the small courtyard training ground on the outskirts of the city, Aaron was instructing the elves in training, having gotten up quite early. As usual, whenever he came down the mountain, he would always train with Aaron, and sometimes Xiaofeng would join in. When the three of them got together, they could release all the elves without any scruples, without having to hide them.

But today was different. He reached out and touched the Poké Ball on his waist. The surface of Haxorus' Poké Ball was still a little warm, which was the residual heat left by his body temperature.

After repeated consideration, he decided to complete the final transformation of Hakron today. The potential of this Hakron has been stuck at seventy-one for ten days, and the number after the decimal point seems to have been nailed down, not moving at all.

He took out his notebook and casually flipped through the Hakron's molting record. Hakron had even shown no signs of molting recently. The translucent scales that used to shed every few days were now completely still.

According to experience, if we continue to wait, it may take a month or even two months for changes to appear, similar to the molting of giant crabs, but this slight improvement has limited significance for the overall breeding process.

After counting in the notebook, more than three months have passed since Haxorus began to shed its skin. Haxorus's potential has increased from sixty-nine to seventy-one, which is probably Haxorus' limit.

“We can’t delay this any longer.” Yu Hai muttered to himself, looking at the Moon Eevee chasing Haxorus in circles in the distance. The latter’s clumsy dodging made him laugh helplessly.

He figured it out. Since the potential improvement had stagnated and there was no accelerated transformation by shedding the skin, it would be better to let Haxorus evolve earlier than continuing to waste time.

It’s not too late to continue improving its potential after Haxorus evolves into Dragonite, and you can join the training earlier. Haxorus is already far behind other partners, and can’t even beat Umbreon, and has been bullied by Umbreon many times.

It's time to make a change. We have to make sure that Haxorus, which is lagging far behind, catches up with his companions as soon as possible.

【Hackron】

[Attribute: Dragon]

[Gender: Male]

[Potential: 71%]

[Level: 47.72%]

[Features: Shedding/46.93%] [Hidden Features: Magical Scales/16.33%]

[Master the moves...]

Haxorus's level is only 47, and it has only increased by six levels in three months. During this period of time, we focused on exploring Haxorus's potential, which in turn slowed down the speed of its level growth.

He rubbed his chin, making a slight rustling sound, and finally after a few days of thinking, he decided to let Haxorus evolve actively rather than passively.

Thinking of the last time Dratini evolved unexpectedly, he still remembered it vividly. He fell asleep in a daze that night, and when he woke up in the morning, he found that Dratini had completed the evolution without him knowing when, and the whole process happened without any sign.

In order to avoid such uncontrollable variables from happening again, he must not take the same risk this time and must take the initiative into his hands.

He stood up and used the Poké Ball to retrieve Haxorus and Moon Eevee. After giving instructions to Aaron, he walked towards the dense forest behind the courtyard. The rotten leaves in the forest were piled on the ground and were very soft to step on.

From time to time, dead leaves would fall on his shoulders, but he didn't care. Instead, he released Gengar and Lucario, looked for a wide open space, and lowered his voice to order: "Genggui, Lucario, expand the alert range to 100 meters away."

Then he threw a Toucan's Poké Ball into the sky. The white silhouette flew over the treetops, and the sound of its wings flapping in the air was particularly clear in the silent forest.

As the cry of the gulls came, after confirming that there was no sign of human activity around, he took a deep breath, pressed the button on the Haxorus Poké Ball, released the Haxorus, and took out all the props needed for evolution.

For dragon materials, he prepared the remaining raw material of a king-level dragon tooth of the Hercules, the raw material of a king-level dragon tooth of an ancient fossil pterosaur, the raw materials of quasi-king dragon teeth of two ancient fossil pterosaurs, and the scales of the king-level pseudo-dragon left by Storm's brother Gyarados.

He rubbed the lines of the dragon's scales with his thumb and whispered in his throat, "Hakron, these are all we need."

These dragon-related props are all things from fake dragons. The only one that could have come from a real dragon is an ancient fossil pterosaur. Since it is too old to be verified, he can only treat it as fake dragon material.

These materials are the key to strengthening Hakron's dragon bloodline. By absorbing the dragon attribute power of these pseudo-dragon items, Hakron's own dragon bloodline can be enhanced. Even if it is just a pseudo-dragon item, it at least carries the aura of dragon.

Real dragon props are rarely seen on the market and are hard to come by. He simply cannot get them and can only use fake dragon materials as a substitute. Thinking of the champion-level dragon scales that once appeared on the black market, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

If Haxorus had been able to obtain that champion-level dragon scale, his evolutionary potential would have been immeasurable. What kind of amazing transformation would he have undergone?
But the auction site was full of mixed people at that time, and the championship-level dragon scales had long been the focus of competition. He knew that it was probably an elaborate trap, and rash participation would only increase the risk of exposure. After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to give up.

In terms of flying materials, he collected materials worth 100 million, but there was not a single king-level item. After arriving at Honglian Island, it was extremely difficult to collect high-level items, and he was powerless.

Fortunately, Dragonite's main attribute is dragon, and flying is only a secondary attribute. As long as the dragon attribute is strong enough, it can make up for some of the shortcomings. When I think of the flying-type ultimate move, the storm move has been reduced from the original 120 power to 110, which is simply unbearable to watch.

He spread the materials on the ground and waved to Haxorus: "Come here, stand on the flying materials, wrap the dragon's fangs and dragon's scales with your tail, and wait for me to take down the immutable stone, and then you can evolve, understand?"

"Hmm?" Haxlon swayed his slender body and slowly moved to the pile of materials. He rubbed Yu Hai's palm gently with his head and then nodded.

It is finally going to evolve into the appearance of Dragonite in the illustrated guide. Its tail tightens unconsciously as it looks forward to its appearance after evolution.

"You have to be prepared and try your best to absorb the energy in the dragon-type items. After that, you can absorb the flying-type energy." Yu Hai looked serious, staring at Haxorus.

After repeatedly instructing Haxorus, he raised his hand and went around Haxorus' slender neck. His fingertips touched the cold scales, and he gently lifted it up to remove the Immortal Stone.

"Hmm!" Haxorus' neck felt lighter as he sensed that the constraints of evolution had disappeared. The muscles under his scales instantly tensed, and he raised his head and let out a long cry. The sound waves were like a substance, causing the surrounding leaves to fall. The cry tore through the silence of the forest and startled a group of birds that fluttered over the treetops.

The wild elves in the nearby bushes shrank back after hearing the loud shouts, and the air was filled with an oppressive dragon's might.

Yu Hai took two steps back holding the Immutable Stone, and the soles of his shoes made a crackling sound as they rolled over the dead leaves. The next second, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from Haxorus's body, and the light penetrated through the layers of treetops. The originally dim forest suddenly became so bright that it was impossible to open your eyes. Even the sunlight that sprinkled through the gaps was outshined by the light of evolution.

He raised his hand to cover his eyes and stared at the center of the light through his fingers. After a while, the white light began to shrink inward and gradually condensed into a ball of light.

When the light completely dissipated, the Haxorus that was there was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there was an elf that was over two meters tall and covered in orange. The elf was sturdy, with broad shoulders and bulging muscles, exuding a sense of powerful beauty.

If the group of old perverted players from the previous life were here, they would affectionately call this elf "Fatty".
