Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 836, Mashado
"Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi!" Hanako saw her son at a glance and shouted anxiously, her voice almost drowning out the noisy sounds around her.

"Sister Hanako, please don't make any noise and disturb Xiaozhi." Seeing this, Ukai hurriedly raised his hand, grabbed Hanako, and reminded her loudly.

Just now, Xiaozhi was distracted and glanced over here hastily. Due to a negligence, Charizard was hit hard by Blazing Tiger. The flames that were originally burning on its body dimmed briefly. The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly and every second was related to the victory or defeat. There was no time to be distracted!
"Mom!" Xiaozhi noticed his mother behind him. Although he wondered why his mother was here, he knew in his heart that he must not lose this battle. A firm fighting spirit instantly ignited in his eyes, and he focused all his attention back on the battle.

"Mom!" Xiao Ai turned around and saw her mother. Thinking of her mother's absence, her face flushed. She stuck out her little pink tongue embarrassedly, revealing an awkward and playful smile with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

When Xiao Ai's mother saw that her daughter was safe and sound, her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down. She had been worried all day long these days, fearing that her daughter might have encountered an accident outside. Now that she saw that her daughter was fine, she patted her chest gently, a relieved smile appeared on her face, and she was finally able to put her heart at ease.

On the other side, after seeing A'long, Xiaoyu just raised the corners of her mouth slightly and showed a faint smile on her face, without asking any questions. Their identities at the moment were special and could not be easily exposed.

There were also Xiaogang and Xiaoxia. When they saw the direction where Professor Oak and the others were, they immediately raised their arms, waved vigorously, and greeted everyone with smiles on their faces.

At the same time, Professor Oak also noticed something strange. He frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the battlefield where Satoshi and the other man were fighting.

There, a dark elf with a strange appearance was floating quietly, like a fair referee, closely observing the battle between Xiaozhi and the other person.

Professor Oak's heart moved, and he quickly recalled the characteristics of various elves in his mind. After careful observation and recollection, he finally came up with the answer.

"What's that, old turtle?" Dr. Oak slowly raised his hand and pointed to the battlefield, looking at the dark elf that exuded a mysterious and dark aura, his eyes were solemn. He couldn't help but look at Xia Bo, and then they both blurted out almost at the same time: "Machado..."

"That's right, it's this one." Xia Bo nodded slightly. He had a wide range of knowledge about all kinds of elves, especially those legendary elves. He recognized this elf at a glance, the Machado who would guide the "Rainbow Warrior" to see the Phoenix King.

Because of the battle and the appearance of Machado, the place was filled with a tense and uneasy atmosphere. Gun smoke and energy fluctuations were constantly intertwined in the air. Xia Bo frowned slightly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes, as if he was recalling the mysterious legend about Machado.

"I feel that things are a little out of control. I have already notified Kikuko. Kikuko is now at the Alliance headquarters in Quartz Plateau and will be here soon." Xia Bo looked solemn. After a moment's silence, he informed Dr. Oak of the news.

"What? You old turtle want to harm me?" Dr. Oak's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Xia Bo in disbelief, with a hint of panic and nervousness in his eyes. If Xia Bo hadn't said it, he would still be kept in the dark. His terrified shouts seemed to accuse the other party of "betrayal."

"Hey, didn't I tell you?" Xia Bo laughed dryly, feeling a little timid. He knew Professor Oak's temper very well, and was afraid that he would cause trouble for him later, so he reminded him in advance out of humanitarianism.

He secretly thought that if nothing unexpected happened this time, Xiao Ai would follow Kikuko and stay with her to practice.

This is a good opportunity to let Kikuko take the child away. Xiaoai ran away secretly this time and it really put a lot of pressure on her old bones.

His old bones couldn't stand the repeated tortures. He just wanted to stay peacefully on Honglian Island, do some research, drink some tea, and train the apprentices in the gym.

He would be satisfied to see Xiao Ai grow up healthily, get married and have children.

Boom boom boom——

The fierce battle continued, the dust was flying below, the light of energy flickered, and the surrounding air seemed to be ignited by the heat of the battle.

From Yu Hai's perspective, the battle between Charizard and Blazing Roaring Tiger has already reached the level of a quasi-king. He nodded slightly with a hint of approval in his eyes.

The two fire-type Pokémons intertwined and fought back and forth, sparks flying as their moves collided. After not seeing him for a long time, Xiaozhi had made considerable progress.

Xiao Mao also watched Xiao Zhi's battle closely, his hands clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white. He thought he had made great progress during this period, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhi's progress to be beyond his imagination.

He suddenly felt unwilling and wondered in his heart: Why did that guy who used to be a bit silly in his eyes become a stumbling block on his way to becoming a master trainer? He really couldn't figure it out!
Unlike the young children, Professor Oak had already quietly retreated slowly. He raised his hand and gently placed it on the psychic elf. His lips moved slightly and he silently shouted "teleport", obviously ready to slip away.

At this moment, there was a hint of nervousness and anxiety in his eyes, and he was ready to run away at any time. Only Xia Bo noticed this. Everyone else's eyes were fixed on Xiaozhi's battle, and they did not notice Professor Oak's little movements at all.

As Professor Oak quietly left, the battle entered a white-hot stage. Charizard and Tigris refused to give in to each other, like two angry beasts, constantly countering each other's moves.

The Charizard's entire body was covered in flames, and a scorching breath was blowing in the face, as if it was going to turn everything around it into ashes. It spewed scorching flames from its mouth, like a fire dragon, sweeping towards the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

The roar of the Fiery Roaring Tiger was deafening, and dust was splashed with every step it took on the ground. Its agile figure was like a flash of black lightning. It jumped and dodged flexibly and pounced on the Charizard, grabbing it with its claws with great force.

Each of their attacks contained tremendous power. The air around them was buzzing and the burning air was extremely hot.

Finally, it was time for the final decisive battle. Charizard and Blazing Tiger both burned out their last bit of strength, ready to fight with all their might to decide the outcome.

"Blazing Roaring Tiger, spray flames, use all your strength..." Cross's roar cut through the sky with an unstoppable momentum.

"Charizard, let's also use jet flames..." Xiaozhi looked determined and shouted loudly, with a desperate determination in his voice.

"Roar, roar, roar..." Two roars sounded almost at the same time, making the surrounding air buzz.

Along with deafening roars, the flaming belt around the Roaring Tiger's waist instantly lit up with a blazing red light. The light was so dazzling that it seemed to devour everything around it.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of blazing flame gushed out like a surging tide, and a heat wave came towards one's face. Wherever the flame went, the air was burned and distorted.

The heat wave rolled in, and Yu Hai and his group, who were standing far away on the high platform, could clearly feel the scorching temperature brought by the violent flames. The heat wave brushed across their cheeks, bringing a burning pain, as if it was going to singe their skin, so they had to release the elves to block it.

At the same time, Charizard's fiery characteristics also erupted completely. It flapped its wings and soared in the sky, surrounded by a layer of even more dazzling flames, with raging fire burning in its eyes, like a burning meteor.

Charizard roared to the sky, and spewed out a high-temperature flame from its mouth that was hotter and more ferocious than that of Slark. The flame was like a snarling fire snake, with a momentum to destroy the world. Amid Xiaozhi's passionate shouts, it continued to press towards Slark like a raging torrent.

In the blink of an eye, the flames spewed out by the Charizard covered the flames spewed out by the Blazing Roaring Tiger. The violent flames continued to roll and surge, completely suppressing its flames. The balance of victory had already tilted, and the column of fire hit the Blazing Roaring Tiger, securing the victory in one fell swoop.

Charizard flapped its huge wings slightly, creating a strong airflow, and landed handsomely in front of Xiaozhi.

Charizard held its head high, with a victorious light flashing in its eyes, as if announcing its glory to the world, while Blazing Roaring Tiger fell to the ground powerlessly, its limbs twitching weakly, and it could no longer get up.

"Brother Xiaozhi won, yay!" Xiaoai's face turned red with excitement, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes. She jumped up first, ran over like a happy little bird, and hugged Xiaozhi, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, with a bright smile on her face.

When Xiaoxia saw Xiaoai's bold move, she felt jealous and felt sad all the way. Her face became very ugly and she clenched her hands into fists.

Three such cute girls were surrounding Xiaozhi. She felt so uncomfortable. She bit her lips all the time, her cheeks puffed up, and her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. She stomped her feet fiercely, wishing she could tear Xiaozhi, the unfaithful man, into pieces with her own hands.

Xiaogang is just the opposite along the way. He can be said to be the best full-time nanny. Except for a small presence when cooking, the rest of the time he is like a gray background board, staying quietly aside, with no one paying attention to him.

Every time he hung his head with helplessness written all over his face. It was not that he wanted to become a gray background board, but he really couldn't understand why so many cute girls were revolving around Xiaozhi.

He was obviously very gentle and sincere, but he was always called uncle. Every time he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and feel bitter in his heart. He had it so hard...

"Haha, no," Xiaozhi scratched his head embarrassedly, and subconsciously looked at his mother. He saw his mother covering her mouth and laughing, secretly looking at him with a smile in her eyes. There was a hint of curiosity in her smile, and he really wanted to ask what story had happened to them.

He just felt his cheeks getting hot and he was so embarrassed that he almost dug his toes out of the room. This was the first time he was hugged so warmly by such a lovely girl. His heart was beating like a little rabbit and he was a little at a loss for a moment.

What? You mean Xiaoxia?

Well, it seems that Xiaozhi has never regarded Xiaoxia as a girl, but as the leftover tea dregs of the three Hualan sisters.

"Brother Xiaozhi is so awesome." Xiaoyu lowered her head slightly, a blush on her face, and congratulated Xiaozhi on his victory. Her voice was timid, her eyes were full of envy and admiration, and her hands were twisting the corners of her clothes nervously.

She was shy by nature, and didn't dare to be as bold as Xiao Ai to take the initiative to hug boys. She just looked at Xiao Zhi secretly from time to time, and then quickly looked away, looking very shy. Xiao Mai also whispered congratulations on the side. She was also not as bold as Xiao Ai. Living alone in the orphanage made her learn to be independent early, and she rarely relied on others, except in front of her brother A Ping. Most of the time, she just silently expressed her emotions with actions.

She pursed her lips slightly, with a faint smile on her face, standing there quietly, with a hint of envy in her eyes. She looked at Xiaozhi with a little admiration. She also wanted to become such a powerful trainer.

"This child." Xiao Ai's mother sighed helplessly. Seeing Xiao Ai's bold behavior, she felt a little amused. Hugging and cuddling in front of so many people was really inappropriate. She looked at Hanako with a little apology and said with a smile, "Hanako's mother, Xiao Ai is too naughty..."

"No, no, it's Xiaozhi who is ignorant," Hanako felt so embarrassed. It was Xiaozhi's fault for holding her own silly thing. She glanced at Xia Bo unconsciously.

Seeing that Xia Bo's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it, like the sky before a storm, she secretly groaned in her heart, wondering what to do.

In Xia Bo's heart, he was already gnashing his teeth in hatred towards Xiao Zhi, and he was muttering to himself, where did this wild boy come from, how dare he covet his cabbage? He must teach this ignorant guy a lesson and let him know what the rules are.

If Xia Bo really dared to take action, Professor Oak would definitely not sit idly by and would probably fight with Xia Bo. After all, Xiaozhi was Professor Oak's grandson. It was a pity that Professor Oak was afraid of seeing Kikuko, so he ran away early.

As everyone's congratulations gradually came to an end, Xiaozhi reached into his pocket and pulled out the Rainbow Feather, preparing to place it on the Rainbow Stone.

At this moment, Cross, who had lost the battle, was still unwilling to accept the defeat. His face turned red and he roared loudly like an angry lion. His voice was as loud as a bell and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Ho-Oh? I also saw Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh did not leave me the Rainbow Feather. I fought desperately to become the strongest trainer, but why? Why did Ho-Oh choose you?" Cross' eyes were red with a hint of madness and unwillingness in them. He clenched his fists tightly and his body trembled slightly.

Then, Cross raised his head and roared at the sky, his voice full of determination and anger, "If the King of Phoenix thinks that I am not the strongest, I will defeat him..."

"Cross, I also want to become strong. You know, I can't get this far without the help of my friends." Xiaozhi raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing sincerity and determination.

He first looked at Pikachu who was staying beside him obediently, and then looked at Yu Hai on the top of the mountain. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he showed a bright smile to Yu Hai, "Brother Hai told me that I should understand the intentions of my friends. Then I realized that strength is not the most important thing..."

"This kid," Yu Hai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Did I say this before? How come he has no impression of it at all?

Even if I said it at the time, it seemed like I was just fooling the other party. I didn't expect that this guy actually took it seriously!

He couldn't help scratching his head, looking helpless.

"Not bad, boy." A smile of approval appeared on Xia Bo's lips, and he raised his hand and gently patted Yu Hai's shoulder.

He didn't expect that Yu Hai's unintentional words could have such a great impact on this wild boy. He admired Yu Hai more and more in his heart, and he was worthy of being a trainer he valued.

"Haha, no way." Yu Hai felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. He scratched his head awkwardly and felt his face getting hot and red.

When he found that everyone was looking at him, he felt even more embarrassed and felt more and more uneasy. He thought that his family knew his own business, and he was not that kind of person. Lying down and causing trouble on weekdays was his strong point, so forget about educating people.

"Then what are you fighting for?" Cross widened his eyes and looked at Xiaozhi in disbelief, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger. He clenched his hands unconsciously, as if he was going to rush up and hit someone in the next second.

"I fight because I want to make more friends, not just to see Ho-Oh. I want to make friends with every Pokémon, that's why I fight." Xiaozhi became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes flashing with passion. He raised his hands and clenched them into fists, as if declaring his beliefs to the world.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu tapped twice beside Xiaozhi. The crisp cry seemed to be the most powerful proof of Xiaozhi's words, and his round eyes were full of recognition of Xiaozhi.

At this moment, an accident happened suddenly. Cross didn't believe these empty talk at all. There was a fierce look in his eyes, as if he was blinded by anger. He suddenly took a step forward and stretched out his hand to snatch the rainbow feather from Xiaozhi's hand.

Then he pushed hard, causing Xiaozhi to stagger back and almost fall. Xiaozhi's face showed a look of unprepared surprise.

Then, Cross took this opportunity, turned around and rushed towards the Rainbow Stone like crazy, quickly crawled towards the Rainbow Stone, and inserted the Rainbow Feather into the Rainbow Stone.

Before Cross could run to the rainbow stone, the rainbow feather suddenly dimmed, as if it had been eroded by some evil force, and turned into a strange black feather.

Immediately afterwards, a creepy dark energy, centered on the rainbow feather, spread out like a raging flood in an instant. The surrounding air became cold and depressing, making people shiver.

A dazzling purple beam shot straight into the sky. The light was extremely blinding, like a sharp sword that seemed to tear the entire sky apart.

The rainbow feathers were also enveloped by this beam of light and completely swallowed up by the darkness, turning into a lifeless black color, emitting a heart-pounding dark aura.

“When people with impure minds and evil hearts touch the rainbow feathers, the rainbow feathers will lose their luster and original color and turn into black feathers…” Master Fan frowned slightly, a trace of solemnity in his eyes. He looked at the rainbow feathers that had turned black and muttered silently to himself. Although his voice was not loud, it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

In a word, any trainer who is not recognized by Ho-Oh will turn the rainbow feathers black when touching them. Cross, who fights against Satoshi, is a trainer who is not recognized by Ho-Oh.

In an instant, a dark aura as thick as substance rose into the sky, replacing the original purple light column. The aura seemed to come from an endless abyss, carrying with it a terrifying evil force.

The sky and the earth suddenly changed color. The originally azure sky was quickly covered by thick, inky black clouds. The whole world seemed to be covered by a gloomy curtain, completely blocking out the light.

Then, under the erosion of this dark force, the entire rainbow stone turned into a strange black and purple color, emitting a creepy aura.

The surrounding land was not spared as well, and was also dyed black and purple. The entire world fell into an endless abyss of darkness. A pungent and rotten smell spread along with the darkness, making people want to vomit.

At this moment, Machado's dark figure moved. He raised his hand and instantly condensed a huge energy hand as dark as the night. The big hand emitted a cold light, as if it could devour all the light.

It raised its big hand and slapped Cross fiercely. Cross had no time to react and was blown away by the powerful force. He drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground, letting out a painful groan.

Then, Mashado's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye he arrived at the rainbow stone. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the rainbow feather that had turned black, and the black light column strengthened again.

Cross fell to the ground, his face full of resentment and resentment. He gritted his teeth and struggled to get up, his eyes flashing with madness. He ordered the Wolf Mane without hesitation: "Attack Machado and take back the Rainbow Feather!"

He tried to regain the Rainbow Feather, as if that was his only hope of becoming the strongest trainer.

After receiving the order, the Wolfman let out a low roar and pounced towards Machado.

However, as soon as the Wolf Mane approached, the dark aura emanating from Machado was washed over like a poisonous fog, instantly submerging the Wolf Mane and causing it to lose its consciousness in an instant, as if it was controlled by an invisible force.

Garchomp's body trembled instantly, his eyes became empty and weird, and he turned to attack his trainer Cross. With a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes, he opened his bloody mouth and spit out a black energy ball at his trainer.

The energy ball exuded dark power and flew towards Cross. At this critical moment, the Fiery Roaring Tiger reacted quickly and blocked the black energy ball.

Then, the dark aura continued to spread like a plague, controlling all the wild elves around the top of the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

These wild Pokémons have fallen into the control of darkness, with greed flashing in their eyes. They all desire to obtain the power of the Phoenix King, and thus, under the temptation of the dark power, they have become puppets of Machado.

The eyes of many wild Pokémon instantly turned blood red, and an eerie aura emanated from their bodies. They rushed uncontrollably towards Xiaozhi and the others, approaching them step by step.

"Not good!" Yu Hai's face was solemn, and he thought to himself that something was wrong. He knew the situation was critical, so without any hesitation, he immediately raised his hand and quickly threw out the Poké Balls of Frog and Electric Beast.

As two red lights flashed, the Fast Swim Frog and the Electric Beast appeared before his eyes. He shouted to the two elves: "Electric Beast, Thunder, Fast Swim Frog, Explosive Fist..."
