Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 891, Qualification Badge

"Fuck, is this possible?" Yu Hai opened his mouth in shock when he heard the sunlight and flames, looking at the inferno beast that was accumulating power.

He never expected that the opponent's Infernape would actually use the Sunshine Flame move. He subconsciously looked up at the weather. Fortunately, it was a rainy day today, and the cloudy sky blocked the sunlight. Sunshine Flame was a move that required charging.

He quickly looked at his Swamp King and shouted, "Swamp King, don't worry, hold on! When it launches the Sun Flame, dig a hole and hide!"

After shouting this, he unconsciously clenched his hands into fists, his palms were full of sweat, and he took out the Poké Ball to release Lucario first.

Finally, when the Inferno Beast opened its mouth and the scorching sun flames erupted like a beam of destructive light, the light stung people's eyes and a smell of burning instantly filled the air.

Yu Hai immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Now, Swamp King, dig a hole!"

"Ham!" When the Swamp King heard the command, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He quickly dug the ground with his limbs, and in the blink of an eye he dug out a deep hole. He quickly drilled his huge body into it, successfully avoiding the ultimate move that could restrain him the most.

However, the power of the incoming sunlight flame was too great, and the aftermath swept towards Yu Hai. At this critical moment, Lucario stood in front of him and blocked the sunlight flame.

Lucario's body was emitting a light blue light. He raised his hands in front of him and used his shield to withstand the impact of the sunlight and flames. The beam of light hit the shield and made a continuous explosion, but it did not penetrate Lucario's defense. The flashing light of the explosion only raised a cloud of dust.

At this moment, the battlefield was filled with smoke and dust. Yu Hai's eyes were blurred and he couldn't see the situation at all. But he still gritted his teeth and shouted towards the empty battlefield: "Swamp King, pull it underground and use water cannons!"

After shouting, he stared at the smoke and dust on the field nervously. His heartbeat accelerated rapidly. He could only swallow his saliva secretly to calm his anxious mood. He would notice even the slightest disturbance in the smoke and dust.

Boom, boom, boom——

The ground suddenly began to tremble violently, as if a giant beast was tumbling underground. With its powerful claws, the Swamp King instantly broke through the ground. Its strong forelimbs grabbed the Inferno Beast and dragged it directly underground.

Then, there was a gurgling sound coming from underground, and the Swamp King filled the entire tunnel with water. Then a huge stream of water spurted out from the hole in the ground, like an underground fountain.

Not long after, the ground broke open again, and the Swamp King crawled out of the hole, all wet, with the unconscious Infernape in his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Yu Hai's tense nerves finally relaxed and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He knew that he had won another victory and was one step closer to passing the assessment.

"Not bad, young man." The examiner nodded slightly, showing a hint of appreciation on his face, then took back Infernape, whispered a few words to the Poké Ball, and then threw out the third Pokémon, shouting loudly: "This is my third Pokémon..."

"Vulpes, it's Venusaur..."

When the audience around saw Venusaur appear, the scene was once again in an uproar.

Everyone knew that Yu Hai had already won two games, and the third game was crucial. If he won, he would be able to obtain the qualification badge and participate in the Silver Conference; but if he lost, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Yu Hai took a deep breath, his eyes became much more relaxed, he looked at the Swamp King and shouted: "Swamp King, fight one last time, use the Destruction Death Ray!"

He thought to himself, let Swamplord use his remaining energy. Now it's a three-for-one situation. He doesn't believe that he can't replace this Bulbasaur...

boom--

Swamp King tried his best and sprayed out a destructive death light from his mouth. The light carried the momentum to destroy the world and rushed towards Venusaur.

For a moment, the air seemed to be distorted by this powerful energy, making a low "buzzing" sound.

However, Venusaur was not in a hurry. It quickly drove its roots deep into the ground while using the defensive move.

A layer of transparent protective shield instantly appeared in front of him. The destructive light hit the protective shield, making an explosive roar. The dazzling light flashed, shaking the ground. The protective shield shook slightly and managed to block the powerful blow steadily.

Immediately afterwards, Bulbasaur's thick vine whip lashed out like lightning, and with a crisp "snap" sound, it hit Swamplord accurately.

The Swamp King's body was hit by the whip and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust. It struggled for a few times, but was ultimately unable to stand up. It slowly closed its eyes and fainted.

The four-fold restrained vine whip is not so easy to withstand. Swamplord also completed his final mission. Not only did he force Bulbasaur to use the defensive move, but he also consumed Bulbasaur's physical strength to a certain extent.

"Come back, Swamp King, thank you for your hard work." Yu Hai had gratitude in his eyes. He thanked Swamp King for fighting for him. He whispered something to the Poké Ball. Swamp King should be able to feel his thanks.

Then, he decisively took out Nightowl's Poké Ball, threw it out with force, and shouted, "Nightowl, fly higher, use the air blade to consume its energy!"

He didn't expect Nightowl to defeat Venusaur, so he let Nightowl use kite guerrilla tactics to consume Venusaur's physical strength as much as possible.

Nightowl flies flexibly in the air, nimbly dodging Venusaur's attacks. At the same time, it also emits some wind blades to restrain Venusaur, trying to consume Venusaur.

However, Venusaur is very powerful. Although it has consumed some energy in the previous battle, Rooting is constantly restoring Venusaur's strength, so it should not be underestimated.

In the end, Owl still couldn't resist Venusaur's attack. Venusaur saw the right moment and a blazing sun flame shot out from its flower, instantly submerging Owl. Owl let out a whine and fell straight to the ground after being hit by the powerful beam, raising a cloud of dust and passing out.

Yu Hai took back Nightowl, thanked Nightowl, and then released the last Pokémon, Houndoom.

As soon as Houndoom appeared, his body was surrounded by scorching heat and he let out a low roar, which was very intimidating.

He looked at the panting Bulbasaur across from him. This battle was no longer suspenseful and he had already seen the dawn of victory. He secretly cheered for Houndoom in his heart and did not relax at all. Now was not the time to open the champagne.

Houndoom was not afraid of Venusaur and continued to launch fierce fire attacks. Flames rushed towards Venusaur like a fire dragon. The surrounding air was roasted hot and filled with a pungent burnt smell.

Under Houndoom's repeated attacks, Bulbasaur gradually felt exhausted and its body began to shake.

Finally, Venusaur could no longer withstand Houndoom's attack, and its huge body slowly fell down, raising a cloud of dust.

Hua Hua Hua, Hua Hua Hua——

Seeing Bulbasaur fall, the spectators outside the battle field instantly burst into warm applause and cheers.

"We won, we won. This was truly an exciting battle test. It was so exciting..."

"Finally I won. I thought no one could pass such a rigorous test..."

"If even he can't pass the test, let alone others..."

The examiner had a calm face, having anticipated such a result. He ignored the discussions of the people around him, took out a uniquely shaped qualification badge with a silver-white luster from his pocket, and threw it towards Yu Hai with force.

At the same time, he raised his voice and solemnly announced the results of the examination: "Candidate No. 123, you have passed the three examinations of the certification center. This is your Silver Conference Qualification Badge. With the qualification badge, you can participate in the Silver Conference without collecting all eight badges..."

"Thank you. Please heal them as soon as possible." Yu Hai carefully took the qualification badge. The badge was shining with a unique silver light in the sun, carrying the efforts and dreams of those trainers who could not time travel.

Then, he quickly took off the belt and three Poké Balls from his waist and handed them to Miss Joy. Miss Joy smiled and nodded, took the Poké Balls gently, and instantly walked towards the treatment room with them. Her figure quickly disappeared from the battlefield.

"Don't worry, they will be fine." A relieved smile appeared on the examiner's face, his eyes full of admiration.

He looked at Yu Hai and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that among so many candidates, Yu Hai still cared about a spirit that was not his own. This was really rare in his previous assessments.

In this testing center, especially during the third battle test, what the examiners heard most was various insults against the elves.

Words like "trash", "too weak", "bad luck" and so on are heard everywhere. Those trainers blame all the reasons for their failure on the Pokémon but never reflect on themselves.

Whenever the examiner saw such behavior of disrespecting the elves, he would immediately give the candidate a loss without hesitation and declare the candidate failed the assessment. After all, in his opinion, those who did not even have the most basic respect for the elves were not worthy of participating in the Silver Conference.

If you can't beat them, you should look for the reasons within yourself. If you don't have good skills, you should spend more time practicing. You should know that the elves used in the assessment are basically of similar levels, and the examiners are at most more familiar with these elves than the examinees.

It really proves the saying - there are no useless Pokémon, only useless trainers...

"Goodbye, it was fun playing against you." Yu Hai saw that the examiner was smiling gently, so he also showed a sincere smile.

He raised his hand and waved gently in the air to bid farewell to the examiner, then turned around and walked briskly away from the testing center with Lucario.

Behind him, only the exclamations of the audience outside the stadium remained, echoing for a long time in this lively battlefield.

Walking out of the testing center, the sun shone warmly on his body. He looked at his watch and it was almost time for lunch.

I don’t know if little Lugia is hungry, that little guy has a big appetite. But you can go to the athletes’ village to register for a single room first. If you go too late, there may be none left.

It is much more convenient to live in a single room alone. Not only can he let everyone out to eat together, but he can also take better care of little Lugia. When he thought of little Lugia who has not yet been weaned, he couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile.

More than ten days passed, and the days passed slowly, but he was still a little worried. He didn't know what Lugia's mother was doing, and why she didn't come to find her cub...

He has complicated feelings towards little Lugia. On the one hand, he hopes that Lugia's mother will show up soon so that he can put an end to the worries that have been hanging in his heart and he won't have to live in fear every day, fearing that Lugia's mother will suddenly kill him.

But on the other hand, he hoped very much that Lugia's mother would not come. It would be great if he could keep little Lugia by his side forever, or even tame little Lugia.

But it's totally unrealistic. He knows very well that this is just his wishful thinking and reality will never be as he wishes.

Every day, he spent his time in this contradictory mood, anxiously waiting for Lugia's mother to come and take the child away. This feeling lingered in his heart for a long time, like a big stone pressing on his heart. It was really hard to bear!
