Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 842, Cucumber Fragrance
The seventy-sixth day after leaving the Orange Islands, sunny.

The sky was clear and cloudless, and the morning sun shone through the window, gently into the room. Yu Hai got up early, wearing a simple black sportswear, and skillfully prepared breakfast for the elves in the room.

Looking at the elves eating happily, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly. There is enough food now, and there is no need to fight for food, but the training progress must keep up. This is the only requirement for sufficient food.

After feeding the elves, he packed up all the items, collected all the elves, and went to the cafeteria in the Elf Center Hall to get breakfast. The steaming food exuded an enticing aroma. He carried the plate to the dining area and enjoyed a simple but fulfilling breakfast.

After breakfast, Yu Hai and A Long met on the busy street...

Aaron was dressed formally, wearing a tie, looking like a bodyguard in black. When he saw Yu Hai coming, he immediately went up to him and asked if he had had breakfast.

Yu Hai nodded slightly, indicating that after eating, the two had a brief conversation, then hurried to the train station and boarded the train to Jinhuang City.

The train started slowly. Yu Hai looked at the scenery outside the window quietly, thinking about the purpose of this trip and fell into deep thought.

Aaron naturally obeyed the boss's decision unconditionally. From Tianqing Mountain to Hualan City, and then to asking around for information last night, his experience during this period of time made him gradually clarify his position.

He finally knew what he should do and understood his value to Yu Hai. Since before getting on the train, he had been leading the way and busying around, taking the initiative to take on all the miscellaneous tasks such as buying tickets and moving luggage.

He rushed back and forth, and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. After getting on the train, he got into work mode and performed his duties as a guard conscientiously.

When performing his guard duty, he was even more meticulous, scanning every passenger around him with sharp eyes, not missing any suspicious signs.

He knew in his heart that the boss was very powerful and did not need his protection. The king Gengar in the boss's shadow alone was not someone that ordinary people could easily approach.

But he still didn't dare to slack off. Even if someone wanted to attack the boss, they had to step over him first. As long as the boss didn't give any orders, he would always stick to his post and do his best to protect the boss's safety.

In this way, the train ran smoothly on the rails, and the scenery outside the window kept changing like a painting, with fields, mountains, and villages flashing by one by one.

The two of them had a safe journey, and apart from enjoying the scenery outside the window, they did not encounter any accidents. Before they knew it, the train arrived at the railway station in Jinhuang City after 1 p.m.

The two got off the bus and walked out of the station. It was sunny outside and the air was filled with the unique exhaust fumes of the city.

Aaron quickly found a taxi, which was clean and tidy. He opened the door first, let Yu Hai get in, and then he got in himself.

He told the driver to go to the fighting arena on the outskirts of Jinhuang City. The taxi then sped along the road, and the scenery outside the window quickly receded.

After a while, the taxi dropped them off at the entrance of the fighting arena. Aaron paid the fare and the two got out of the car.

The gate of the fighting arena stands before your eyes. This is a karate dojo covering a very large area. The surrounding environment is tranquil and quaint. The houses in the dojo are all wooden buildings, which are arranged in an orderly manner, exuding a quaint atmosphere.

Surrounded by high walls and large courtyards, it seemed to isolate this place from the outside world. In the dojo, figures wearing white karate uniforms were coming and going, shouts were heard one after another, and it was very lively.

There are also many trainers who come here because of its reputation, gathering here with the determination to challenge and expand their minds.

Just as Yu Hai and A Long reached the door, a young apprentice in a white karate uniform came towards them. The apprentice had a tall figure and a kind face. He clenched his fists in front of him, saluted the two respectfully, and asked them questions with a humble smile on his face.

"You two guests who have come from afar, are you also trainers who are here to challenge the teacher?"

"No, we are here to discuss business." Yu Hai shook his head slightly, his face calm. He did not want to challenge the frontier zone at this time.

Of the King-level Pokémon he had, he only had one King-level Pokémon, and he needed at least two King-level Pokémon to fight Cucumber Scent. He couldn't use Gengar and Poison Frog, so there was no way he could challenge her.

"Talking about business? Do you two have an appointment?" The dojo apprentice still maintained a polite smile and looked at Yu Hai and the other man intently.

He did not show any disrespect even though Yu Hai and the other man were not there to challenge them. Instead, he maintained a businesslike attitude and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

"I don't have an appointment. Please help me arrange one." Yu Hai raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Aaron beside him. His eyes conveyed an unspoken understanding.

Some things, even without an appointment, can be flexibly adjusted with some clever methods. After all, it's just a small matter of tens of thousands of Alliance coins.

Aaron understood instantly, nodded slightly, and then took a step forward, reaching into his inner pocket and taking out an envelope. He shook hands with the apprentice, exerted a little force with his palm, and quietly placed the envelope in the apprentice's hand.

The dojo apprentice's hand sank slightly as he felt the thickness of the envelope in his hand. A barely perceptible understanding flashed across his eyes. He immediately understood what to do. Still with a decent smile on his face, he quickly turned sideways and took Yu Hai and the other person to the reception room.

The reception room is decorated in a simple and elegant style. The wooden tables and chairs exude a faint wood fragrance. Several ancient calligraphy and paintings related to karate are hung on the walls. The sunlight shines through the windows onto the wooden floor, giving off a soft and warm glow.

He also thoughtfully brought a cup of herbal tea, the fragrance of the tea wafted away, adding a bit of coolness to the slightly hot space. After putting down the herbal tea, he whispered to Yu Hai and the others, "Please wait a moment, my two guests. I will go and ask the teacher now. I am not sure whether the teacher will come over. Is there anything else you need to tell me..."

This was almost a hint to Yu Hai that Huanggua Xiang would definitely be notified, but there was no guarantee that she would come. If Yu Hai and the others could mention something that would make Huanggua Xiang excited, perhaps it would increase the chances of Huanggua Xiang coming.

"Please give her this photo. She will come over when she sees it." Yu Hai looked determined and took out a photo of Super Stone from his pocket.

The super stone in the photo exudes a bright halo, as if it has some kind of fascinating magic. As a pioneering person, Huangguaxiang must have seen the super stone, so he is not worried that Huangguaxiang will not be able to understand after seeing the photo.

As the apprentice left with the photo, he could not understand the photo with the glass beads.

He was just an ordinary apprentice, not Huangguaxiang's confidant, so he naturally didn't know about super evolution and couldn't understand the meaning of the photo. He stood up with the photo in his hand with a puzzled look on his face, then walked away quickly, his steps hurried.

Even with the photos, Yu Hai and the others waited for more than half an hour...

In the reception room, sunlight filtered through the window and slowly stretched across the ground. They sat there quietly without talking to each other.

Aaron once again performed his job, standing upright and watching everything around him vigilantly. He also did not speak a word, as he was afraid that there was a bug or something like that here.

Half an hour later, a girl with golden hair and wearing a karate uniform appeared. The red patterns carefully embroidered on the collar and cuffs added a unique charm to the dress.

The folds of her clothes swayed gently with her movements, revealing a heroic spirit. She walked into the reception room with light and capable steps, and every step was accompanied by an aura of confidence.

She sat down on the tatami in front of the table and waved to the followers behind her to leave. The following conversation was not convenient for outsiders to be present. Huangguaxiang was a girl who was quite capable and did not like to beat around the bush. She took the photo in her hand and looked at Yu Hai, who was obviously the person in charge, with a burning gaze. She asked directly, "I want to know which elf's super stone it is? What do you want from me?"

"It's easier to talk to smart people. Aren't you curious about who we are?" Yu Hai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He picked up the teacup and put it to his lips, taking a sip of tea gently. His movements were calm and indifferent. Since the other party was here, there was no need to rush.

He had let Gengar try it and found that the tea was non-toxic, so he felt safe to drink it. The tea had a slight bitterness and fragrance at the beginning, and a hint of sweetness after it spread on the tip of the tongue.

"No need, just state the conditions directly." Huangguaxiang's eyes were calm and her tone was steady. Half an hour before she came, she had already used her connections to investigate the identities of Yu Hai and the other person clearly, especially Yu Hai's identity.

Ukai, a citizen of the Orange Islands, a trainer of the Orange Islands, a trainer of the Xiagan Gym, a reserve of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Orange Islands, and his younger brother is a disciple of the Heavenly King Xiba.

He also has intricate relationships with top trainers and gym leaders such as Xia Bo and Liu Bo. Such a complicated relationship and identity background undoubtedly show that the other party is a direct trainer of the alliance.

For a trainer with such a background, there was no need to beat around the bush or hide the transaction. She didn't believe that Yu Hai had connections with so many big guys and would not be unaware of the value of the Super Stone.

Since the other party came to her, it means that this super stone is related to her elf. She secretly looks forward to it in her heart, hoping that it is the main elf. There is a barely perceptible eagerness in her eyes, urging Yu Hai to quickly state the conditions.

"It seems that the investigation has been completed." Yu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He finally understood what the man had done during the half-hour wait, and he stopped wasting time. With his current status and the old man standing behind him, he had enough confidence to have an equal dialogue with the other party, so he dared to trade with the other party.

"This super stone is Charem's super stone, and it has good wave-guiding power..." Yu Hai said slowly, with a hint of mystery in his eyes, telling a secret known to everyone.

"Huh, it's Charem." Huangguaxiang exhaled lightly, and his own Charem appeared in his mind.

Charem is her main fighting spirit, and has accompanied her through countless battles. It is very powerful and has won many battles. With this Charem Super Stone, Charem's strength will surely reach a new level.

Thinking of this, she finally understood why the other party came to her. She was sure that she would definitely get this super stone. This way, she would be controlled by the other party. She had to think of a strategy to break the deadlock.

After thinking for a moment, she took a deep breath, stared at Yu Hai, and asked helplessly: "Tell me, what do you want?"

"I want to exchange for a Lucario Super Stone." Yu Hai's face was calm, and he slowly stated his purpose. There was a hint of expectation in his eyes, and he quietly waited for the other party's reaction.

"Can't I change to something else?" Huangguaxiang frowned slightly, fell into deep thought, looked embarrassed, and bit her lip lightly. She was really being taken advantage of by the other party.

Super stones are extremely difficult to obtain nowadays. Exchanging super stones is indeed a tricky problem, which really stumped her.

She thought to herself, if she could find Lucario's Mega Stone, why would she bother exchanging Mega Stones with him? She could just go look for Charem's Mega Stone directly. Unfortunately, she couldn't find it.

“You also know how precious super stone is. It is almost in short supply and cannot be bought with money.” Yu Hai shook his head gently, frowned slightly, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

He looked at Huangguaxiang, set a deadline for her, left a phone number, and then slowly stood up and said goodbye, "I will stay in Huangjin City for at most half a month. If there is no news in half a month, I will leave..."

After saying this, he took Aaron out of the karate dojo. The two of them came to the street outside the dojo. The sunlight was a little dazzling, and the breeze blew gently, but there was no coolness at all.

They performed a simple disguise, gently smearing the disguise material with their hands, sticking on false beards, and wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Their movements were skillful and quick, which was the downside of not having Ditto.

After disguising their identities, they planned to stay near the outskirts of the city, quietly waiting for news from Cucumber Xiang. The air near the rented house had the fragrance of soil and grass, and was surrounded by quiet fields. Occasionally a few birds flew by, making crisp calls. The environment here was really nice.

After the two men left the karate dojo, another wooden door of the reception room slowly opened from the outside, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man.

He was not wearing a karate uniform, but a black suit. He looked solemn and steady, with an upright body slightly bent, and two neatly trimmed beards under his nose. His eyes were deep and gentle. This man was Huangguaxiang's butler.

"Master Xiang, do you want to find someone to help..." The butler didn't finish his words, but the deep meaning in his words was clear, and they all understood what he meant. He bent down slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"No, they are the Four Heavenly Kings in reserve after all, and there are so many veteran Heavenly King trainers standing behind them. We can't use force against this kind of alliance."

Huangguaxiang shook her head slightly, a hint of rationality and calmness in her eyes. The moment she found the information, she knew that this approach would not work. She frowned slightly and sighed secretly.

Forced buying and selling is a despicable method that can only be used on trainers who are not as strong as oneself and have no background or followers. It cannot be used on those trainers who are strong and have a backing from the alliance. Not only is it useless, but it may also cause big trouble.

She knew very well what serious consequences such behavior would bring in the league, which might cause a series of unnecessary troubles. The relationships within the league were complicated, and she could not easily offend these veteran trainers.

"Lord Xiang, that super stone is very important to you." The butler bent down slightly, lowered his head even lower, a hint of anxiety in his eyes, and had to remind Huanggua Xiang.

They are all very clear that super evolution is the future direction of the alliance and they must not miss this opportunity at all costs.

"I'm not giving up." Huangguaxiang sighed softly, shook her head helplessly, raised her hand to tidy up the golden hair beside her ears, bit her lips lightly, as if she had made up her mind, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she instructed the butler:

"Contact my family and ask them to focus on finding Lucario's Mega Stone. If they still can't find it in a week, I will have to go to Kalos in person and buy a Mega Stone from the Sala Gym..."

"Yes." The butler bowed slightly, with a hint of respect and a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

After listening to Huangguaxiang's instructions, he turned around gently, closed the wooden door of the reception room again, and walked away from the door quietly. As he left, the footsteps gradually faded away and the sound became smaller and smaller.

Looking at the neatly arranged tea sets and tea on the table, Huangguaxiang sat quietly for a while, slowly reached out and picked up the teapot, and poured herself a cup of tea.

The tea was poured into the cup, making a crisp sound. She picked up the cup and blew on it gently, then took a sip of the cool tea. The coolness slid down her throat, diluting her inner restlessness.

Charem's Super Stone, she had never felt so close.

Thinking of this, a burning desire rekindled in her eyes. Her eyes became more determined to obtain this super stone that was delivered to her door.

She seemed to have already seen Charem's powerful and handsome appearance after his super evolution, and her heart was full of anticipation.
