Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 825: Poison Skull Frog King
It was the sixtieth day after leaving the Orange Islands, and it was cloudy.

The sky was covered with gray clouds, and the sultry air had a damp and salty smell.

Today is the twenty-sixth day since I arrived at the Red Lotus Gym, three months since the Poison Skull Frog extracted the toxin, and thirty-two days since I made the breakthrough using the sheep horns.

With both attributes broken through, the Poison Skull Frog finally appeared this afternoon, which was the change that Yu Hai had been dreaming of.

He stayed by the poisonous skull frog's side every day to record the breakthrough process. Every time, his fingers would stroke the edge of the notebook until the paper was worn out. He was so eager to see the poisonous skull frog's changes.

It was afternoon at this moment. In the small courtyard by the forest where Aaron rented, the poisonous skull frog was sitting cross-legged on the withered grass. After Geng Gui's reminder and the feedback from the fast swimming frog, he moved away all the debris in the venue. Only the poisonous skull frog stayed in the small courtyard with Gopalon's horns in front of him.

Fine brown and purple lines appeared on the surface of the poisonous skull frog, and the fluctuations of its aura gradually increased. The elves who were training suddenly stopped and were gradually called back to clear the field by him. Even Aaron's elves retreated.

Aaron also took out his notebook. This was the first time he observed that an elf had broken through to the King level from scratch. This was a valuable experience, and he had to record it down, so as not to miss the regret of a similar breakthrough to the King level by Gyarados again.

"Whoosh-"

Suddenly, a strong wind arose out of nowhere and swept around with the poisonous skull frog as the center, making Yu Hai feel all the hairs on his neck stand up, and the corners of his clothes were lifted up by the wind and then blown down heavily.

Dust mixed with grass clippings flew towards him. He squinted his eyes, covered his mouth and nose with his left hand, and held the guardrail tightly with his right hand. The wooden railing creaked in the wind.

He glanced at Aaron doing the same thing, the bulging blue veins on his arms trembling slightly in the wind, obviously not wanting to miss the moment when the poisonous skull frog broke through.

The surrounding trees suddenly creaked, and the treetops twisted into strange arcs in the strong wind. The treetops began to shake wildly, and the shirts and clothes on the clotheslines were blown to the ground with a "click" sound.

The strong wind was like a giant invisible hand, tearing the clouds into messy flocs. Yu Hai caught a glimpse of the white clouds in the sky being rolled into a whirlpool, and he hurriedly continued to collect other Pokémon into the Poké Balls to prevent them from being blown away by the strong wind.

At this moment, Gopalion's horns suddenly floated off the ground, spinning and humming in the strong wind. His temples were throbbing, and he gritted his teeth and shouted to Gengar under his feet: "Geng Gui, use your telekinesis to bind the horns. Don't let them be blown away!"

"Koujie, Koujie." Gengar's dark figure disappeared into the shadows. The hurricane carrying sand and gravel swept across its translucent body, but it was not disturbed by the hurricane at all.

As an elf that had experienced many life-and-death battles and had broken through the King of Heaven early on, the Poison Skull Frog saw the King of Heaven's pressure as nothing more than an immature energy fluctuation.

As Gengar's translucent figure infiltrated into the shadows and lurked past, an invisible telekinesis wrapped around the suspended sheep horns like a spider web. Yu Hai's tense mood finally relaxed, and he realized belatedly that cold sweat had already seeped out of his palms.

He saw that the lines on the poisonous frog's body were becoming clearer and clearer, and the breakthrough was still continuing. The dark purple veins were glowing with an eerie luster in the sunlight. The smell of poison in the air was becoming stronger and stronger, and there was a faint burning sensation that stung his nasal cavity.

at the same time--

In Honglian Town, beddings hanging out to dry flew across the sky like out-of-control kites. Metal trash cans rolled over on the cobblestone roads, making piercing noises. People in colorful clothes tightly grasped the things around them, their hats were blown into the air, and their screams of fear were drowned out by the whistling wind.

The bamboo baskets of the street vendors fell over, and the goods rolled on the ground. In a blink of an eye, they were swept away by the strong wind and rushed into the sky.

These are just the feelings of ordinary people. For a trainer, if his strength is very weak, the Pokémon around him will look at the direction of Toxic Skull Frog's breakthrough in horror, trembling all over, with their pupils shrinking violently due to fear.

The pressure from the Heavenly King was as real as a violent hurricane. It was an absolute suppression from the top of the food chain, causing the weak elves to curl up instinctively and whimper in uneasiness.

Stronger trainers are more perceptive. They can quickly determine the cause of the sudden change in the wind by the restless and rapid cries of the Pokémon around them.

In shock, their eyes were all cast towards the source of the energy fluctuations. There was actually a trainer's Pokémon breaking through to the King level. Some clenched their Poké Balls, some couldn't help but mutter to themselves, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

The Elite-level Pokémon of the Elite Trainers did not show any fear in the face of this violent pressure, but they were also slightly alert.

The elves with perception abilities could even accurately locate the location where the breakthrough occurred, and looked vigilantly at the small courtyard by the forest where Aaron lived.

As the strongest person on Honglian Island, it was impossible for Xia Bo not to notice the huge movement of the elf breaking through to the level of Heavenly King. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of Honglian Research Institute with a frown on his face, staring at the rolling clouds and raging wind in the distance.

After a moment, he took out his cell phone and skillfully dialed the number of the Tongguan.

When Xiaofeng picked up the phone, the sound of electricity mixed with the whistling wind came from the receiver. He held the phone tightly and said to Xiaofeng in a steady tone: "Xiaofeng, go to the scene immediately to maintain order. When the noise subsides, find out which trainer's Pokémon is breaking through, and invite the trainer to the Red Lotus Research Institute."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and continued to stare out the window. A hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes. He secretly sighed that the young people nowadays are really fearless. They didn't even report such an important matter as the elf's breakthrough and went to a deserted place to break through.

"Okay, Gym Master." Xiao Feng clenched his knuckles around the microphone and whispered to accept the task. After hanging up the phone, he went outside the door and pressed Pidgeot's Poké Ball.

A red light flashed, and Pidgeot spread its broad wings and landed in front of him. He turned over and straddled Pidgeot's back, galloping towards Honglian Town, the corners of his clothes rustling in the wind.

When they arrived at Honglian Town, the raging wind had weakened into a whistling air current, sweeping up the dead leaves on the ground.

Xiao Feng patted Pidgeot's neck gently: "Pidgeot, sense the direction and fly in the direction you are afraid of."

Under the remaining pressure from the Heavenly King, Pidgeot's feathers exploded slightly, its pupils shrank into slits, and it let out an uneasy cry. It turned around and flapped its wings towards the outskirts of Honglian Town.

The closer he got to the target, the more Xiaofeng frowned, and he gradually realized that this was clearly the direction of the courtyard by the forest where Aaron and the boss trained the elves.

At the same time, in a hot spring hall in Honglian Town, the wanted criminal was half lying in the room eating fruit. Hearing the sudden violent mental fluctuations of the Dream-Inducing Tapir, he sat up abruptly, water drops sliding down his back, and muttered: "Such a big commotion? Is it a breakthrough to the Heavenly King?"

He looked up at the rolling clouds outside the window and rubbed the bridge of his nose between his eyes. As a psychic elf, the Dream Tapir was extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations. At this moment, he closed his eyes and sensed it carefully. The violent pressure of the King of Heaven was not concealed at all, and it was difficult for him not to sense it.

"I don't know whose elf has broken through," the wanted criminal grabbed the towel around his neck and wiped the sweat off his face. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said dissatisfiedly, "The higher-ups only know how to urge us. They really don't have much time to spare."

He stood up and walked to the window, closing the carved wooden window sash forcefully to block out the wind outside. The glass reflected his sinister eyes, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the stubble on his chin.

He walked back to the tatami and sat down, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box beside him and lit it. In the smoke, he stared at the crack in the ceiling and thought about it. He would go to purchase supplies after the strong wind stopped. He would cooperate with Team Rocket to continue fishing.

"There's an elf in Honglian Town that has broken through to the Heavenly King level. It's going to be very lively next time." The wanted criminal blew out a smoke ring, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. "When there are so many masters, it's a good opportunity to reap a lot of rewards, so that those guys won't complain about not having enough money."

……

In a small courtyard on the outskirts of Honglian Town, as soon as Pidgeot's sharp claws touched the ground, Xiaofeng was frightened by the overwhelming pressure from the Heavenly King. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and saw out of the corner of his eye that Pidgeot's feathers stood up and his neck was drooping stiffly.

This quasi-king-level flying Pokémon was currently clutching the ground tightly, apparently trying hard not to spin out of control in the air.

If he hadn't seen Yu Hai and the other man in the air, his Pidgeot would have refused to come down no matter what. It was really terrifying. Could this be the breakthrough of the King of Heaven?

"Xiaofeng, why are you here?" When Yu Hai heard the sound of Pidgeot's wings flapping, he had already tensed up. He only loosened his grip on the Poké Ball after seeing the face of the person who came. Otherwise, this Flying-type Pokémon that rashly broke in would have been shot down by Gengar's Shadow Ball.

"Boss, you guys are making too much noise," Xiao Feng stepped forward on the dead leaves scattered all over the ground. Pidgeot followed nervously beside him. He had to raise his voice, "Boss, pack up and leave as soon as possible. I'm afraid a lot of people will come."

He glanced at the noise and shouts gradually rising from the city, and had to remind Yu Hai and the other man that their identities could not be exposed at this moment.

"Along, pack up quickly, let's hide first." Yu Hai took two steps at a time and entered the yard. He carefully picked up the glowing Gopalion horns on the ground, wrapped them with a piece of delicate cloth, and put them into his backpack.

Then he turned to look at Gengar in the shadows and asked, "Geng Gui, has the Poison Frog stabilized?"

"Kou Jie." Gengar's black body nodded slightly in the air, as a response to Yu Hai.

The dark purple mist lingering around the poisonous skull frog gradually dissipated, and the pressure from the king of heaven, which was previously as real as a substance, also turned into a faint fluctuation, and the pungent smell of poison in the air was weakening.

Ukai saw Gengar nod and stared at Toxicaba for a long time until the area around Toxicaba became completely quiet. He clenched the Poké Ball in his hand, and the moment he pressed the switch, a red light wrapped around Toxicaba's sitting body and returned to the Poké Ball.

As long as the poison skull frog successfully breaks through and stabilizes, even if the breakthrough is over, the situation will be the same no matter where it adapts to the power next.

"Huh," Yu Hai murmured softly, then he let out a long sigh, his tense nerves finally relaxing. After continuing to collect the elves that were watching, he turned around and walked into the depths of the jungle with Aaron.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiao Feng who was still standing there. Seeing that he had not caught up with him, he looked a little nervous. Pidgeot was standing beside him with his wings folded tightly. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you leaving?"

"Boss, Xia Bo asked me to come over to check out the situation here," Xiao Feng hurriedly explained, his voice unconsciously raised a few notes, and looked towards the direction of Honglian Town where the lights were gradually lighting up, frowning slightly, "I have to stay here to clean up and deal with the follow-up matters." Yu Hai thought for a moment, and thought that this matter could definitely not be hidden from Xia Bo, so he said, "That's fine, there's no need to hide my elf breakthrough, and don't reveal which elf it is. When I go back tonight, I will explain it in person."

After saying that, he winked at Aaron, and the two of them quickly stepped into the dense forest and soon disappeared into the dark shadows of the trees.

Not long after the two of them left, the sound of breaking air exploded one after another overhead. More than a dozen flying elves landed in the yard with the sound of breaking air. The dead leaves swept away by their wings flew everywhere, covering Xiaofeng in the flying broken leaves.

"Little brother, were you the one who made such a big noise just now?" A young man wearing goggles spoke first. The toucan under his crotch felt the remaining pressure from the king and subconsciously shook its wings.

"Brother, has your Pokémon made a breakthrough?" The girl with twin ponytails leaned forward, her eyes full of curiosity. Her Pidgeot was grasping the soil on the ground nervously, and its feathers were slightly puffed up by the remaining pressure from the King of Heaven.

"Young man, congratulations..." The endless inquiries were like the rising tide, instantly drowning Xiaofeng and making him feel overwhelmed.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Xiao Feng raised his hands and stepped back, leaving room for conversation that was being squeezed by the crowd. His voice kept rising, and he jumped onto a stone bench beside him, raised his arms and pressed down hard, shouting, "I'm Xiao Feng, the trainer of the Red Lotus Gym! The breakthrough just now was not made by me! When I arrived, the trainer and the Pokémon had already left!"

There were still traces of the breakthrough on the ground. Xiao Feng saw that everyone was still unwilling to disperse. He did not believe the official explanation and raised his voice again: "This is a private residence. Damaged items require compensation! I will report the situation to Master Xia Bo. Everyone, please disperse!"

As he spoke, he kept pressing his hands to stop the group from making noise, and his shoes stepped heavily on the stone bench, making a dull sound.

But the crowd still didn't buy it. He didn't want to be trapped here. Before they could say anything, he flipped over and jumped onto Pidgeot's back. He grabbed the feathers on his neck with both hands and shouted to Pidgeot, "Go!"

With a cry, Pidgeot flapped its wings violently, and the strong wind it created blew away the approaching people. He deliberately let Pidgeot fly towards Honglian Town, as he still had to go to Honglian Town to maintain order.

At the same time, he left those unspoken questions far behind, leaving only the trainers in the yard looking at each other in bewilderment and talking among themselves as the pressure from the King of Heaven gradually dissipated.

As Xiaofeng drove away on Pidgeot, the trainers who were watching came to their senses. Several trainers in the crowd who had challenged the Crimson Gym recognized the eye-catching gym uniform on Xiaofeng and confirmed Xiaofeng's identity through whispers.

The others who didn't want to leave looked at each other, their eyes sweeping over the dead leaves scattered all over the ground and the slightly cracked grass. Some bent down to check for traces of energy remaining on the ground, while others looked up at the swirling clouds that were still slowly gathering.

But apart from the messy environment, no traces of the breakthrough person could be found. After searching in vain, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the sound of footsteps and discussions drifted towards Honglian Town with the evening breeze.

This sudden breakthrough soon caused a stir in the trainer circle. Many people felt the pressure of the breakthrough of the King-level Pokémon, but no one knew the identity of the breakthrougher.

As the news spread by word of mouth, the legend of a mysterious king trainer began to spread in Honglian Town.

As night fell, the lights in Honglian Town gradually lit up. Xiaofeng ran back and forth in the streets and alleys for several hours until he was sure that the order in the town was stable. Then he said goodbye to Miss Junsha who was helping him maintain order and hurried to the Honglian Research Institute.

"Master, the elf that broke through to the Heavenly King level is Ah Hai's elf." Xiao Feng stood in front of Xia Bo and reported the breakthrough that happened this afternoon. "When I rushed over, Ah Hai had put the elf away, so I couldn't see clearly which elf was breaking through."

Xia Bo stood at the entrance of the institute, with his back to Xiao Feng, pinching the fake beard on his mouth. After hearing Xiao Feng's report, he turned around and squeezed out a smile through the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "So it was the spirit of that brat. It's okay then, you can go and get busy."

After saying that, he waved his hand gently and turned back to the Red Lotus Research Institute.

Seeing Xia Bo's indifferent reaction, Xiao Feng's Adam's apple moved unconsciously. He lowered his head and stared at himself, who was exhausted from the journey. He secretly sighed that the boss's weight in Xia Bo's heart was really extraordinary. In comparison, he was not like a hostage, forced to stay in the Honglian Gym.

Seeing that Xia Bo had no other instructions, he turned around and left silently, riding on Pidgeot and returning to the gym, waiting for the boss to come back in the evening. Perhaps he could get more details about the breakthrough from the boss. He also wanted to know how the elf broke through to the King level.

……

at the same time--

The figures of Yu Hai and A Long were looming in the woods. The two were still shuttling through the dense forest. Even though the sun had not yet completely set, the spots of light leaking through the branches and leaves were so faint that they were almost invisible.

The two of them walked across the ground covered with rotten leaves, taking one step deep and one step shallow, occasionally pushing aside the vines that grew across the ground, and groping their way forward with difficulty.

When the salty sea breeze brought the sound of waves, they finally emerged from the dense forest. The rugged reefs glowed cold gray in the twilight.

Yu Hai pulled at his T-shirt that had been caught by branches, sat down on the rough rocks, and took out two bottles of ice-cold beer from his backpack.

"Aaron, we can't stay in that small house anymore," the moment Yu Hai pulled the ring, fine foam overflowed from the bottle mouth, and a tiny white mist appeared in the sea breeze. He tilted his head back and drank half a bottle of beer. The cold liquid slid down his throat, dispelling some of his fatigue.

He looked at the waves rolling in the distance and continued, "Don't train near your rental house in the future. Return the rent and find a new house. You can find one near the neighborhood where your wife works. At least it will be safer."

Aaron's fingers holding the beer bottle suddenly tightened, and the amber liquid swayed gently in the bottle. He swallowed a mouthful of beer, his Adam's apple sliding up and down, and he still asked the question in his heart that he didn't want to accept, "Boss? Are you leaving?"

Before he finished speaking, a fleeting sense of loss appeared in his eyes. After more than a month of peaceful training life, it was finally coming to an end.

"Yes, just these few days." Yu Hai casually placed the empty beer bottle in the depression of the reef, reached out from his waist to take out the Poké Ball of Toxopus, and repeatedly stroked the raised patterns on the ball.

The fiery light dancing in his eyes was brighter than the sunset glow in the sky. This was the first king-level elf that he had personally cultivated and nurtured. It would be a lie to say that he was not excited.

The moment he opened the panel, he couldn't take his eyes off it. He was completely immersed in the information displayed on the panel. He even just casually echoed what Aaron said beside him.

【Poison Skeleton Frog】

[Attribute: Poison + Fighting]

[Gender: Male]

[Potential: 69.99%]

[Level: 60.01%]

[Characteristic: Danger Prediction/53.18%] [Hidden Characteristic: Poisonous Hand/60.01%]

[Master the moves...]

The potential of the Poison Skull Frog is about to break through the senior level, not bad.

With the existence of Yang Jiao, there is absolutely no problem in breaking through to the potential of senior king level.

The level has just broken through to the King level. It will be a long journey from now on. Each level up of the King level elf takes months.

In addition, the potential of the poisonous skull frog is not too high, and it will soon reach a bottleneck, and the next step is to work hard.

The danger prediction characteristic did not change much, but the poisonous hand characteristic took advantage of this breakthrough and broke through to the King level.

Among the remaining moves, the most prominent ones are poison-related moves and fighting-related moves, especially the poison-related moves, whose potential has basically reached the threshold of the king. It has to be said that the mutated poison sac of the Poison Skull Frog is so strong that it must be suppressed.

Among the newly added moves, some are moves that have been learned before, such as burping, enhanced punch, lower body kick, tile splitting, close combat, qi fist, etc. In general, there are still more fighting moves.

Among these newly added moves, the only special one is a fighting move called Holy Sword, which is a move that Toxic Frog can never learn, and this move does not even exist in Toxic Frog's move pool.

The fact that one can learn holy sword techniques here is probably related to the energy absorbed from the goat horns...

The Holy Sword move is a move that Gopalion uses with his goat horns. When Gopalion uses this move, his body will emit blue light, and glowing long horns with a blue and white halo will appear on his head, slashing his opponents to attack.

To put it simply, it's a blue lightsaber. If it's applied to a poisonous frog, then it's just...

He suddenly thought of a Star Wars game in his previous life. The Protoss Templar. If Toxic Skull Frog used the holy sword, would it be a two-handed lightsaber?

Tsk, I can find a chance to try it when I have time...

Then I looked at the other moves. The other moves were the same as before, except that the proficiency level had not changed much. There was no difference from before...
