Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 849, Goodbye Luo Ke

The hundredth day since leaving the Orange Islands, sunny.

After several days of living in the wild, Yu Hai and A Long finally stepped into Deep Gray City last night.

As night fell, the outline of the city was dim in the moonlight. They dragged their tired bodies, and their steps became lighter as they arrived at their destination.

Yu Hai patted Aaron on the shoulder, motioning for Aaron to find a place to live on his own, and as Aaron disappeared around the corner of the street, he walked towards the Pokémon Center.

The moment you step into the Elf Center, a familiar warm atmosphere hits you in the face, soft lights illuminate every corner, and the air is filled with a faint herbal fragrance.

He handed over all the Pokémon that were injured in the wild battles in the past few days to Miss Joy one by one, including the injured Lucario and the injured Dragonite.

Miss Joy gently took the injured little ones in her arms, and comforted them softly with a gentle smile on her face, which eased his worries a little.

Look at the once timid dragon. After this period of hard training, he finally started to engage in actual combat.

Excluding the three bees, Dragonite is the one that lacks the most practical experience among these little guys. Even if it faces Farfetch'd whose strength has stagnated, it probably has no chance of winning.

Coincidentally, they met a lot of wild Pokémon along the way, and took advantage of the situation to use them as training objects for Dragonite. The only trainer who could serve as a sparring partner was Aaron. Although this guy's strength was a little weak, it was barely enough to serve as a temporary sparring partner.

The early morning sun shone through the window into the room of the Elf Center. Yu Hai watched the elves enjoying the carefully prepared food. He was very pleased with the elves' satisfied looks, but he also felt a little hungry.

After the elves had eaten and drunk their fill, he took the elves back, tidied his own clothes, walked out of the room and came to the spacious cafeteria outside. The cafeteria was filled with the aroma of food and was very lively. The sounds of people talking and the clatter of cutlery could be heard constantly.

He ordered a hearty breakfast, chose a seat by the window, and sat down, enjoying the delicious breakfast with big mouthfuls. After a night's rest, this breakfast was especially delicious.

After breakfast, he still had to go to the Deep Gray Gym. His purpose of coming to Deep Gray City this time was not only to go to the Quartz Plateau, but he also wanted to visit Luo Ke on the way. He didn't know how this nine-tailed fox was doing now.

As for Aaron’s arrangement?
He really didn't have any special arrangements, so he told Aaron to move around freely, just don't run too far, so as to avoid the trouble of finding someone later.

Afterwards, he took the healed Lucario out of the Pokémon Center. The sunlight shone on them, making them feel warm.

Lucario walked briskly and his arms could move. Umbreon stood obediently on his shoulders. These two Pokémon were quite rare and cute, and they attracted many people's attention when they walked on the street.

After several days of careful treatment, Lucario's skin injuries have basically healed, and his dislocated arm has been reattached by Miss Joy. He only needs to rest for another day or two to recover.

Looking at Lucario's gradually recovering spirit, I have to say that the healing technology of the Pokémon Center is considered to be the world's most advanced black technology.

After getting used to the dazzling sunlight outdoors, he took Lucario and Umbreon and walked towards the Dark Gray Gym, which was located in a corner of the city.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the dark gray gym. The tall building stood before them, exuding a heavy atmosphere.

He took a deep breath and walked into the gym with Lucario. He thought to himself, Xiaogang should be at home at this time!

"Are you here to challenge the gym?"

A clear child's voice sounded, and the older child asked the first question, looking at Yu Hai with some curiosity and scrutiny.

As soon as Ukai led Lucario into the gym, a group of children ran towards them happily, all looking up at him, the stranger, with vigilance in their eyes, wanting to ask the intruder clearly.

He was slightly stunned, then showed a gentle smile and chuckled: "No, I'm here to find Xiaogang."

As he spoke, he greeted the group of children in a friendly manner. Looking at the squinting eyes of the children, he guessed that they must be Xiaogang's brothers and sisters.

He subconsciously counted quietly. He didn't know until he counted. He was shocked and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed in his heart: "Ten?"

Wow, ten kids in total!
This fertility is really amazing. Fortunately, this is the elf world. If it were in the previous life, the family would go bankrupt if they had so many children. The adults would be exhausted just to raise these money-eating beasts.

"I'm here to look for my eldest brother. You go back first, I'll go call him." Jiro, as the second oldest brother among this group of brothers and sisters, had a hint of caution in his eyes and did not completely believe what Ukai said.

He walked quickly forward, stretched out his hands to pull his younger brothers and sisters behind him for protection, and gave orders in a childish and firm voice, first pulling them into the room, and then locking the doors and windows with a "clang".

He turned around and hurried to the kitchen to find Xiaogang who was busy. After a while, he pulled Xiaogang to the door of the gym and asked him if he knew the stranger.

"Ahai? Why are you here?" Xiaogang was concentrating on things in the kitchen. When he heard the news, he came to the door of the gym. The moment he saw Yu Hai, his eyes were full of surprise and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Obviously, he didn't expect Yu Hai to be here, and they would meet again in this way. This unexpected reunion made him very excited.

"I'm on my way to Quartz Plateau, so I came to visit you on the way." Yu Hai smiled and waved to Xiao Gang in a friendly manner. He also glanced at Jiro who was still very vigilant, and couldn't help but smile at him.

After seeing Xiaogang, he felt a little confused. Why didn't he hear Luo Ke's telepathy, and he didn't know where Luo Ke had gone.

"Is that so? Lunch is almost ready. It's a good time for us to have lunch together." Xiaogang's eyes were shining with excitement. He reached out and grabbed Yu Hai's arm with such strength that it seemed as if he was afraid that Yu Hai would suddenly disappear.

He pulled Yu Hai towards the kitchen and smiled expectantly, "I must have a good drink with you today to make up for what we missed last time."

Seeing a stranger so familiar with Brother Xiaogang, Jiro's originally vigilant eyes relaxed instantly. He took a long breath, turned back to the room, and reached out to unlock the door.

With a creaky sound, the door slowly opened. He walked into the room and shouted to his brothers and sisters hiding in the corner, "Come out, it's okay."

When the little ones heard this, they immediately ran out happily from all corners and surrounded Jiro.

Jiro once again took his younger brothers and sisters to continue playing and laughing in the dojo, and the dojo was once again filled with children's laughter and cheerful noises.

When Yu Hai followed Xiao Gang to the kitchen, a rich aroma of food wafted into his nose. He saw a short-haired woman wearing a kimono and an apron, busying herself by the pot. Her movements were skillful and her eyes were focused. The kitchen utensils in her hands seemed to have life, flying up and down.

The kitchen stove is filled with various ingredients and seasonings, and the soup in the pot is bubbling, which makes people's appetite increase just by looking at it.

There was a nine-tailed fox squatting gracefully beside it, its fluffy tail swaying gently. The fur on the tips of the nine tails was like soft cotton cloth, trembling slightly with the movement of the tail.

Kyuubi's eyes blinked brightly, and from time to time he turned his head to look at the acquaintance who had just arrived, wondering why this person appeared here.

"Who is this?" Yu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. His gaze stayed on the short-haired girl for a moment. He knew in his heart that this was Nine-tailed Luo Ke, but he pretended not to know her and asked Xiao Gang with some curiosity.

Xiao Gang followed Yu Hai's gaze and looked at Luo Ke, and the days and nights he spent with Luo Ke emerged in his mind. The nine fluffy tails gently wrapped around him, bringing endless warmth and softness. He still blushed and his heart beat fast when he thought about it.

His dark cheeks quickly flushed, a hint of shyness flashed in his eyes, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and introduced with a smile on his face: "This is my girlfriend, Luo Ke..."

"Tsk, it's just like you, Master Gang, actually falling in love with the nine-tailed demon fox." Yu Hai raised his eyebrows secretly, and a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes.

He secretly sighed that this man and the fox had finally come to this point. Suddenly, an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face. With a teasing smile, he said to Xiao Gang: "Haha, I understand, I understand..."

Her smile showed both surprise at Xiaogang's special relationship and a sense of tacit understanding.

"Please sit down for a while. Lunch will be ready soon." Xiao Gang felt a little embarrassed when Yu Hai looked at him. He could only walk to Yu Hai's side and stretch out his hand to help Yu Hai pull out the stool. His movements seemed a little flustered.

Afterwards, he quickly turned around and walked over to the busy Luo Ke to help her prepare the meal. He picked up the ingredients skillfully with neat and swift movements. The cooperation between the two was full of the flavor of life.

Not long after, a rich and tempting aroma of food filled the entire kitchen. A large pot of delicious food was finally served, and Xiaogang's face was filled with a happy smile.

He put on heat-proof gloves and deftly divided the food into two portions, one of which he prepared to send to his younger brothers and sisters. There were guests visiting today and they might have to drink later, so it was not appropriate to have lunch with the little ones.

When Xiaogang was carrying the food to his younger brothers and sisters, Luo Ke walked slowly to the opposite side of Yu Hai with light steps and sat down gracefully.

Her eyes were like a clear spring, quietly looking at Yu Hai, an old acquaintance, with a faint charm. Her voice was soft and pleasant, but with a hint of inquiry: "Ahai, why are you here?" "I came to see how you were doing. It seems that you are doing well." Yu Hai had a smile on his lips, and his eyes looked up and down at Luo Ke.

He knew that Luo Ke's body was just an illusion, but Luo Ke had a beautiful face, a graceful figure, dignified manners, and gentleness and charm in her every move. She exuded a charming temperament from head to toe.

Luo Ke's every move, every frown and smile seemed to carry an innate charm. No wonder Xiaogang was so bewitched by her.

He thought to himself, if he didn't know that this was the image of the nine-tailed fox demon, this image would be the perfect girlfriend, with nothing to fault with.

"Are you really just taking a look?" Luo Ke frowned slightly, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He stared at Yu Hai's eyes, trying to find a flaw in Yu Hai's eyes.

Unfortunately, it couldn't see anything. This man's mind was extremely deep. Even though I have lived for two hundred years, sometimes I couldn't tell what this man was thinking. I always felt that he was hiding many secrets.

"Of course." Yu Hai kept a faint smile on his face and didn't say anything more.

Just at this moment, Xiaogang's footsteps came from far away. He just sat there quietly and said no more.

When he leaves Xiaogang, all the suspicions of this vixen will vanish...

He muttered to himself in his heart, this vixen is really suspicious, there is no need to say more at this time, others will help you imagine conspiracies and tricks.

Hearing Xiaogang's approaching footsteps, Luo Ke pursed her lips slightly, closed her mouth quietly, and also stopped talking.

After a while, Xiaogang returned to the table, picked up the bottle skillfully, and filled Yu Hai and himself with wine. For a moment, the aroma of wine filled the air, with a hint of mellowness.

Yu Hai and Xiao Gang raised their glasses and smiled at each other, then they poured the wine and drank it. Gradually, they looked a little tipsy, and they talked more and more. Their laughter echoed in the kitchen from time to time. The two continued to clink glasses and drank one after another.

For a moment, the sound of wine glasses clinking could be heard, and the aroma of wine filled the air. As they drank glass after glass of wine, their cheeks flushed and their eyes became more and more blurred.

Luo Ke sat quietly beside Xiao Gang with a gentle smile on her face. Her eyes were always on Xiao Gang's face, full of love and attachment, as if she wanted to freeze time.

It quietly looked at the face that had recalled countless days and nights in the past two hundred years. It could not look enough. It just wanted to keep looking at it quietly, hoping to keep this beauty forever.

Seeing this scene, Yu Hai sighed quietly, with a complicated feeling in his heart. He knew very well that an obsession that had lasted for two hundred years would not be so easy to eliminate.

In his opinion, this life might be the end of this obsession, and Luo Ke might not live alone. Thinking of this, a trace of helplessness and emotion flashed in his eyes.

As the drinking continued, Xiaogang's alcohol tolerance was not enough after all. After a few rounds of toasts, his eyesight began to become blurry, his body gradually became unable to support itself, his speech became unclear, his body shook twice, and with a "thump", he fell on the dining table, snoring slightly.

At this time, the only people left at the table were Yu Hai, who was slightly tipsy, and Luo Ke, who had not touched the wine and was just watching them quietly.

"I should go." There was a trace of fatigue in Yu Hai's eyes. He barely supported himself on the dining table and slowly stood up, his movements seeming a little slow.

Lucario noticed that Hai was unsteady on his feet, so he quickly stepped forward and used his body to support Hai, fearing that he would fall.

Yu Hai took a last look at Xiao Gang, who was sleeping soundly on the table, and then looked at Luo Ke, who was taking good care of Xiao Gang. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of drunkenness, and he smiled softly, "I'll have to trouble you from now on..."

"Don't worry, I know what to do without you telling me." Luo Ke responded softly. She used her telekinesis to gently lift up Xiao Gang, and with light movements, she walked towards the room step by step, preparing to let Xiao Gang have a good rest.

After settling Xiaogang down, it turned back to the kitchen and began to clean the table. Its movements were methodical. It washed the used dishes one by one and placed them neatly. Every movement revealed a sense of tranquility and gentleness.

At this time, Yu Hai's steps were a little unsteady, and he staggered to the door of the dark gray gym, his body swaying uncontrollably from side to side.

He turned his head to look at the dark gray gym, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "I wanted to have a battle with Xiaogang, but we are all drunk like this, so let's forget it..."

He was supported by Lucario and came to the door of the Pokémon Center. After all, he couldn't resist the invasion of alcohol, and a strong feeling of nausea surged in his heart.

His face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat. He could no longer hold on and rushed to the bushes beside him. Suddenly he bent down, hugged the bushes and vomited violently, continuously spitting out a mixture of wine and food. The pungent smell filled the air and his body was shaking slightly due to vomiting.

After vomiting, he felt a sense of relief in his stomach and the uncomfortable feeling was much better.

He breathed slightly heavily, raised his hand to wipe the vomit from the corner of his mouth, reached into his pocket to take out the Poké Ball, and released the Frog.

When Frog came out of the Poké Ball, he smelled Ukai's vomit and rushed over to help Lucario hold Ukai.

"I'm fine," Yu Hai waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He tried hard to stay conscious and shouted to the fast-swimming frog, "Use the water gun to wash away the vomit."

The fast-swimming frog nodded, and immediately puffed up its cheeks, opened its mouth, and spurted out a powerful stream of water, accurately rushing towards the disgusting vomit in the grass. The water column hit the grass, and with a "puff" sound, the vomit was gradually washed away.

After dealing with the vomit, Yu Hai felt that his body had regained some strength, and he was about to go back to his room in the Elf Center to rest.

At this moment, the cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang, and the rapid ringtone sounded particularly abrupt in my ears.

"Ding-a-ling, jingle-"

He frowned, took out his cell phone and answered the call, putting the phone to his ear. Before he could say anything, Aaron's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Boss, I met Xiao Ming in the place where trainers gathered to fight in Deep Gray City..." Aaron's voice sounded a little excited, but also a little hesitant.

"Xiao Ming's hometown seems to be nearby?" Yu Hai was drunk, his mind was still a little confused, and his tongue was a little tied when he spoke. When he heard Aaron's call, he vaguely remembered that Xiao Ming's hometown was near Shenhui City and Hualan City.

"Boss, Xiao Ming invited me to form a team to do private work. Can I leave for a few days?" There was a hint of nervousness in Aaron's tone. He was very interested in this invitation.

"It's up to you. Be careful. I'm going to the alliance headquarters next. You don't have to follow me. We'll go to Chengdu when I come back." After Yu Hai finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he felt his stomach churning again, and a sour liquid rushed into his throat, followed by a strong feeling of vomiting.

"Ugh, vomit, vomit—"

He bent over again, hugged the grass and vomited violently. This time he vomited even more violently, as if he wanted to vomit out everything in his stomach, even stomach acid.

His body was shaking from vomiting, and beads of sweat covered his forehead. The fast-swimming frog was watching anxiously beside him, using a water gun to help wash away more vomit.

After the vomiting, he was already extremely weak, his legs were soft and he could barely stand. Seeing this, Lucario and Frog hurried to support him from both sides.

With the support of two Pokémon, Ukai walked towards the room of the Pokémon Center step by step with difficulty, and Umbreon followed behind.

After returning to the room, he fell directly onto the bed. He felt the world spinning in front of him, and fell asleep without even having time to take off his clothes.

When he woke up again, it was completely dark and the room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. He opened his eyes dazedly and rubbed his head. It took him a while to realize where he was.

Suddenly, he sat up abruptly and suddenly realized that he was so drunk at noon that he completely forgot about the elf's lunch.

He turned his head to look at the clock on the wall. It was already evening. With a trace of panic in his eyes, he looked at Frog and Lucario and asked weakly, "Oh no! You haven't had lunch yet!"

He didn't care about his weak body and hurried to the bathroom to take a shower, ventilate the room to get rid of the smell of alcohol, reached out to pick up the Poké Ball, and released the Pokémon in batches.

As soon as the elves appeared, they surrounded him with aggrieved and speechless expressions. They all knew that the trainer was drunk and even forgot about lunch and dinner.

Seeing the contemptuous expressions on the elves' faces, he could only smile awkwardly and apologize to everyone: "Sorry, everyone, I was negligent. I will prepare dinner for you now..."
