Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 832, Phoenix King

On the 62nd day after leaving the Orange Islands, it was drizzling.

The second day in Pallet Town...

The early morning of Pallet Town was shrouded in a thin layer of rain and mist. The drizzle hit the roofs, streets and treetops of Pallet Town, making a rustling sound.

Yu Hai stood quietly in front of the window, leaning on a cane, looking through the blurry glass in front of him at the rain scene outside the window. Raindrops slowly slid down the glass, but Xiao Ai and the others were still not found.

After asking around for a whole night, he finally learned the details of the disappearance of Xiaoai and the other two. Not only Xiaoai, but also Komari and Kotama, the three little girls disappeared together. Xiaozhi, who was always full of passion and drive, also disappeared strangely.

That night, the entire Pallet Town was in an uproar. When the residents heard that Xiaozhi was missing, the entire town took action, using a dragnet approach to search for the four children in Pallet Town.

No corner was left unsearched. The search was expanded along the streets, through the alleys, and toward the rolling hills outside the town. Every inch of land was carefully explored.

However, no trace of these four children was found. It was as if they had disappeared out of thin air. No one knew where they had gone, which made everyone worried.

However, Yu Hai was not completely clueless. Regarding the disappearance of the four children, he specially found Xiao Ai's mother last night and carefully inquired about the relevant circumstances, hoping to get more clues from Xiao Ai's mother.

He asked Xiaoai's mother whether Xiaoai had said anything special or done anything special before she disappeared.

After recalling, Xiao Ai's mother told him that the beautiful feather on Xiao Ai's body was glowing a few days ago, and Xiao Ai also talked about becoming a rainbow warrior or something like that.

At that time, Xiao Ai's mother didn't take it seriously, thinking that Xiao Ai was imitating the characters in cartoons. Who knew that later they disappeared. Xiao Ai's mother never suspected that it was the feather that caused the trouble.

After hearing this, he continued to ask questions and asked Xiao Ai's mother to recall the story carefully. After a conversation, he did not take these remarks, which sounded a bit childish, too seriously at first.

But after thinking it over for a whole night, he finally realized that Xiao Ai's disappearance was most likely related to that feather, the rainbow feather.

This guess kept appearing in his mind, but he knew that this alone was far from enough. If he told Xia Bo this guess, Xia Bo probably would not believe it easily. After all, it sounded too unbelievable that a hair was related to the disappearance of Xiao Ai and others.

He had to find more convincing evidence, and he kept thinking in his mind how to convince Xia Bo and Dr. Oak and make them believe that this seemingly absurd but very likely guess was the truth.

In his speculation, Xiaozhi and his four companions may have entered a certain movie, and it is closely related to Xiaoai's rainbow feather. In his memory, who else could be involved in the movie related to the rainbow feather besides the Phoenix King?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Fortunately, Xiao Ai was accompanied by Xia Bo's king-level Argyle. In terms of strength, ordinary king-level elves were no match for Argyle, so there was no need to worry too much about safety.

But when he thought of Xiaozhi's reckless character and the stubborn and foolish way he always acted, he couldn't help but sigh. Hanging around with Xiaozhi, that guy was a trouble maker. Without an immortal physique, one could not withstand that kind of torture. The situation was still not optimistic.

"Oh, this is really a headache. Fortunately, I don't have to take care of the child myself." Yu Hai murmured to himself. While he was grateful, he was also a little distressed by this thorny problem. He couldn't think of leaving this place until he found Xiao Ai.

"Brother Hai, what's wrong with your leg?" Xiao Mao noticed Yu Hai yesterday. At that time, Yu Hai had a thigh injury and was limping when he walked. Out of politeness, he did not disturb him too much, and Yu Hai hurried back to his room to rest.

"It's okay. I accidentally fell on a rock while training at the beach and scraped my thigh." When Yu Hai saw that it was Xiao Mao, his frown slowly relaxed.

He was still thinking about how to convince Xia Bo and the other man, and did not notice Xiao Mao coming to his side. He suddenly came to his senses after hearing Xiao Mao's voice.

Xiao Mao lowered his head slightly, carefully looked at Yu Hai's thigh, and asked with concern: "Why are you so careless? Is the injury serious? Will it affect the battle between the elves?"

Yu Hai came back to his senses and saw Xiao Mao caring about him, so he forced a smile: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury."

Xiao Mao is wearing the purple long-sleeved shirt from the animation today. The fabric of the long sleeves looks soft and textured, with delicate patterns embroidered on the cuffs. There is also a piece of warm jade hanging on his chest. The colors are mainly green and white, with delicate texture and a soft luster.

After being abused several times before, Xiao Mao has finally become a lot more obedient. There is less arrogance and arrogance in his eyes, and instead there is a hint of humility.

After all, the strength is there, and if you can't beat him, you can't beat him. What's more, Yu Hai's strength is becoming more and more unfathomable. The gap between the two seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and it is even more impossible to beat him.

Xiao Mao raised his head again, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes: "Brother Hai, if you are not injured, it would be great. I still want to fight with your elf!"

Yu Hai was slightly stunned, then he understood. Looking at Xiao Mao's eyes full of desire to fight, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Xiao Mao, on the contrary, looked depressed. Ever since he knew that Yu Hai had entered the top eight of the Orange Competition and would be able to participate in the selection of the regional four kings, he knew clearly how strong Yu Hai was and how big the gap between them was.

He recalled the Orange Competition, where he had participated with full confidence, but the result was not satisfactory, as he did not even make it into the top 16.

On the contrary, Xiaozhi, who usually looks carefree, is ranked higher than him, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

From then on, he plunged into the wilds of the back mountains and trained Pokémon desperately. It was not until the residents of the mountain search team were looking for Xiaozhi everywhere that he learned about Xiaozhi's disappearance and had to return from the wilds of the back mountains.

"Fight, if you want to fight." Yu Hai smiled awkwardly and touched his nose. He felt that it was a good thing for children to be motivated. He couldn't just ignore it and dampen Xiao Mao's enthusiasm.

"Bubbly, bubbly!" The Umbreon next to Yu Hai shouted happily. When he saw Xiao Mao's Umbreon, his eyes suddenly lit up and he ran over with brisk steps.

The two Moon Eevees approached each other, sniffing each other's scent as if they were saying hello, and then they rolled together happily, chasing each other, playing and making bursts of cheerful calls.

"Brother Hai's Moon Eevee." Xiao Mao lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on the two Moon Eevees who were happily playing, his eyes revealed a hint of complexity, both pride in his own Moon Eevee and envy of Ukai's Moon Eevee.

Recalling the days of special training in the wild in the back mountains, the Eevee that he always brought with him also successfully evolved into Moon Eevee.

The evolution of Eevee was actually something he did intentionally. When he saw the Orion for the first time, he was deeply attracted by the unique mysterious and dark temperament of Orion. He fell in love with this kind of Orion and thought about cultivating an Orion.

Then, he hurriedly found his grandfather and eagerly asked for the evolution method of Moon Eevee. As a master in the field of Pokémon research, his grandfather naturally knew the evolution methods of these rare Pokémon.

Under the guidance of his grandfather, he followed a specific evolution method and often took care of Eevee by his side. Finally, on a full moon night, the moonlight sprinkled on Eevee like water, and Eevee successfully evolved into Umbreon.

The moment Eevee evolved into Umbreon, his heart was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment. He hugged Umbreon excitedly. The black pattern on Umbreon sparkled with golden light under the moonlight, and its agate-like eyes were like the blazing sun, emitting a mysterious glow. It was definitely his favorite Pokémon.

"Let's go. My legs and feet are inconvenient, so I will play a game with you." Yu Hai turned his head slightly and glanced at the Moon Eevee who was playing happily.

After coming here, Moon Eevee finally saw its own kind and was having a lot of fun. So he didn't bother the two fighting little guys. He walked slowly towards the door on his crutches, his steps a little heavy.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Nanami was wearing a beige turtleneck sweater. The texture of the sweater was soft and delicate. It looked very warm and comfortable against her body. The collar was slightly tightened, which perfectly set off her fair neck line.

She walked in with light steps, holding a steaming lunch in her hands. The aroma of the food filled the air. When she saw Yu Hai and Xiao Mao were about to go out, she couldn't help but ask them curiously.

It's almost lunch time and the food is ready. Everyone should sit at the table and enjoy the food.

"Sister, we are going to have an elf battle." Xiao Mao held the back of his head leisurely with his hands, an excited smile on his face, and spoke frankly about this happy thing.

He was completely immersed in the joy of the upcoming battle and didn't notice that the expression on Nanami's face was becoming increasingly uglier.

Nanami frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes. She quickly walked up to Xiaomao, stared at him menacingly, and said with a hint of reproach in her tone: "Xiaomao, can't you see that he's injured? It's raining outside, how can you fight him!"

This younger brother is really a cause for concern. Even though the other person is injured, he still drags the other person to fight.

"What does it matter? We can't fight even if it rains. They've agreed. At worst I can just stand outside." Xiao Mao stared at his sister in confusion, wondering in his heart: What's wrong with my sister? Why is she suddenly so angry?

"No!" Nanami frowned, her eyes revealing a hint of determination. She quickly put down the lunch in her hand, took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Xiaomao's arm, then turned her wrist flexibly and locked Xiaomao's neck.

Then, she raised her hand and hit Xiaomao's head with a loud and clear blow without hesitation. With a "bang", the crisp sound echoed in the room. She couldn't let Xiaomao continue to act like this. "Ouch! It hurts so much, sister, please be gentler!" Xiaomao grimaced in pain and subconsciously tried to pry Nanami's hands apart.

"Well, it's okay, it's just a battle." Seeing this, Yu Hai couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile on his face. He shrugged helplessly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

At the moment, he was really in a dilemma. If he went out, it seemed inappropriate as Nanami obviously disagreed; if he didn't go out, he had already promised Xiaomao, so the situation was really awkward.

"Haha, sorry, you're a guest, don't pay attention to Xiaomao, come and have lunch." Nanami turned around instantly, and the expression on her face was like a Sichuan opera face-changing, instantly replaced with a gentle and friendly smile.

She raised her hand and made an inviting gesture, with a hint of enthusiasm in her eyes. She was an insider and knew clearly that the man in front of her was the benefactor who saved her best friend.

She also knew that the guy already had a girlfriend, the girl from Xia Gan Gym, so her best friend had no chance.

Thinking of this, she thought to herself: "I really don't know what unique advantages this man has that make so many girls like him. Is it just because his elves are so powerful?"

"Okay." Yu Hai glanced at Xiao Mao, who looked aggrieved, and smiled awkwardly helplessly, hoping that Xiao Mao could understand that it was not because he didn't fight, but he couldn't blame him.

He raised his hand to cover his hungry stomach, which made a slight gurgling sound. He slowly walked to the dining table and sat down. He carefully put away his crutches and looked at Xiao Mao, who was still a little depressed and sitting opposite him. His unhappiness was written all over his face.

"Let's eat first. The adults are very busy. I have already sent the food over." Nanami said as she started distributing bowls and chopsticks.

Her movements were quick and decisive, and she placed the dishes and chopsticks in front of everyone one by one. When she saw that Xiao Mao still had a gloomy face and looked reluctant, her anger rose again and her eyes instantly became sharp.

She suddenly raised her hand and slapped Xiao Mao again, this time harder than before, with a crisp "dong" sound. She shouted, "Eat, I don't want to say it a second time..."

"Ouch!" Xiao Mao shrank his body in pain and subconsciously dodged his head, but failed. He was frightened by the sudden shock and trembled slightly. He felt his scalp numbing and suddenly felt like a thorn in his back. It was a suppression coming from deep in his blood.

He didn't dare turn his head to look at Nanami. It was as if there was a ferocious tigress behind him, staring at him closely, making him dare not make any unnecessary movements.

He could only silently pick up the chopsticks and frantically stir up the rice in the bowl. The rice had no taste when chewed in his mouth, but it was the only thing he could do at the moment.

"Haha, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. My younger brother has been naughty since he was young." Nanami's cheeks flushed slightly. Feeling Ukai's gaze, she covered her mouth with her hands awkwardly. A hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she felt a little annoyed.

Was she too rude just now? She actually lost her composure in front of the guests. Her violent side was seen by others. If her reputation for violence spread, how would she find a boyfriend in the future? Thinking of this, she secretly raised her eyes to observe Yu Hai's reaction.

"No, no, the food is delicious. Did you cook it?" Yu Hai had a helpless smile on his face. He laughed it off and quickly changed the subject.

He had experienced the baptism of the Internet information explosion in his previous life and had seen all kinds of strange people and things. That's what you call a freak.

In his opinion, Nanami was just a little strict with her younger brother, and she let Xiaomao eat out of his consideration. Such a girl was simply impeccable and didn't take the previous episode to heart at all.

"I made it. If it's delicious, eat more." Nanami's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile. At the same time, she glared at Xiaomao, as if saying, "Look carefully, everyone else says it's delicious, but you're the only one who's so quiet that you don't even know how to praise your sister."

"I..." Xiao Mao was speechless after being glared at by his sister. Feeling extremely aggrieved, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

He curled his lips helplessly, lowered his head and continued to eat, muttering to himself: "Not eating is wrong, eating is also wrong, it's simply bandit logic, how can they be as cute as my group of cheerleaders, not as fierce as my sister."

“Nanami, I want to ask you something.” Ukai sat up straighter, his expression becoming serious, not paying attention to the quarrel between the brother and sister.

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, how to make Xia Bo and the others believe his guess, so he decided to ask the girl who was familiar with Professor Oak, hoping that Nanami could help him with some ideas.

"You say." Nanami's heart skipped a beat and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She was a little uncomfortable with Ukai's sudden seriousness.

She subconsciously clenched the chopsticks in her hand, and secretly speculated in her heart: "Is he going to ask about Miss Joy? I have been ordered to keep silent. If he asks, should I tell him?"

Before Ukai opened his mouth to ask, he saw the hesitation on Nanami's face. He immediately noticed that Nanami was different and couldn't help wondering in his heart, "Is there something she's hiding?"

But now that things have come to this, he decided to ask what was on his mind. Whether it could be solved or not was a later question. He took a deep breath and explained slowly, "Well, I might know where Xiaozhi and the others went..."

"What?" Xiao Mao opened his mouth in surprise, stared at Yu Hai with wide eyes, and the rice grains in his mouth, which he had not swallowed in time, sprayed out in surprise, flying out in a parabola, splashing on the dining table, and rice grains splattered everywhere.

In the past few days, everyone in the town has been looking for Xiaozhi and his friends, but there is no clue at all. But Yu Hai has just arrived, how did he know where that stupid guy Xiaozhi went?
"Fortunately I'm not asking her." Nanami muttered to herself subconsciously, but accidentally, her thoughts came out of her mouth, and they were particularly clear at the quiet dining table.

As soon as she said this, she realized something was wrong. She attracted the surprised gazes of Yu Hai and Xiao Mao, and suddenly felt her face burning. Yu Hai and Xiao Mao were staring at her, with curiosity and confusion in their eyes.

"Uh? Sister, who is he?" Xiao Mao asked again in confusion, with deep curiosity in his eyes.

Compared to Yu Hai knowing the whereabouts of Xiaozhi and others, he was more curious about the mysterious "he" mentioned by his sister, and secretly wondered in his heart: Could it be his sister's boyfriend?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mao's eyes flashed with gossip, and his body trembled slightly unconsciously. He didn't dare to laugh.

"Children should not interrupt when adults are talking." Nanami glared at Xiaomao unhappily with a hint of anger in her eyes. She raised her hand again and gave Xiaomao another slap.

Poor Xiao Mao, he already had two eye-catching big pink bumps on his head, and now he had a third small bump, making him look so pitiful.

After teaching Xiao Mao a lesson, Nanami immediately put on a harmless smile, looked at Ukai, and asked softly, "You just said you knew where Xiaozhi and the others went. Can you continue?"

"Um... OK." Yu Hai was slightly startled, nodded awkwardly, and subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He organized his words and said what he was thinking: "I just want to ask, how can I make Xia Bo and Professor Oak believe that Xiaozhi and the others will definitely go there..."

"Where?" Nanami and Xiao Mao asked almost at the same time. After they finished speaking, they subconsciously turned their heads and looked at each other, curiosity and confusion in their eyes.

"Tianqing Mountain." Yu Hai just blurted out, and then he heard the two siblings ask in unison: "Why?"

The uniform sound made the corners of his mouth twitch slightly and he sighed helplessly. These two siblings really cooperated well, just like they had rehearsed it beforehand.

He could only explain in detail: "Tianqing Mountain is the highest peak of the Yunying Mountain Range, where the Phoenix King lives. The Yunying Mountain Range is in the northernmost part of the Kanto region..."

"Why do they want to go to Tianqing Mountain?" Nanami frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion. She thought carefully about what Yu Hai said, but couldn't figure it out.

It is hard to understand why a few children would run so far away. I can only wait for Yu Hai to answer my questions.

"Because of the Rainbow Feathers, because of the Phoenix King, and because of the Rainbow Warrior." Ukai slowly said the three key words, his eyes sweeping across Nanami and Xiao Mao's faces.

Seeing that the two of them were still confused and just shaking their heads blankly, he sighed helplessly and had to patiently explain slowly.

"It's like this, because Xiaozhi and Xiaoai have rainbow feathers on their bodies. Rainbow feathers are not ordinary things. Only trainers recognized by the Phoenix King will be left with their feathers by the Phoenix King. There has always been a mysterious legend about the trainers recognized by the Phoenix King."

"It is said that under the guidance of the Rainbow Feather, trainers who have gone through many tests will go to the top of Mount Azure. If they are lucky enough to see the Phoenix King, then this trainer will become a Rainbow Warrior..."

"Can it be like this?" Nanami opened her mouth slightly, with some disbelief in her eyes. She had never heard of this legend before, so it was difficult for her to judge its truth. She felt a little conflicted inside, secretly wondering about the authenticity of this legend.

After hesitating for a moment, Nanami suddenly stood up, a little excited, and shouted in a louder voice: "Whether it is true or not, let's go there now. Maybe grandpa and the others know more..."

She thought that as an authority in the field of elf research, her grandfather might know something about this legend and could give a more accurate judgment.
