Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 960, Investigation Mission

The forty-seventh day in the Orange Islands was cloudy.

Soft white clouds float freely in the blue sky, and sunlight squeezes out from the gaps between the clouds, casting rays of light.

After hanging around in the alliance headquarters for more than a month, the injuries of Fast Swim Frog and others had basically recovered. Tian Yuhai then received a notice that his mission had come.

After all, it was his first time receiving a mission, and he felt a little confused and nervous. When he learned that it was a single-line investigation mission and his direct superior was Guan Jundu, he felt the pressure doubled. Any mission that could reach this point was not easy.

Du solemnly handed the task to Yu Hai. He patted Yu Hai's shoulder solemnly and warned, "Hai, an informant has reported that this group of criminals is extremely brutal and is conducting dangerous spirit experiments. You must be careful when you go there. If you encounter a situation you cannot handle, be sure to call for reinforcements."

Ukai nodded slightly, "I'll be careful, Champion Watari."

He took the task information with both hands, and read it carefully word by word with a focused and serious look. After all, it was related to his life and property, so he could not afford to be careless.

Du frowned slightly and continued, "Ah Hai, according to the information from our informant, there have been reports of wild Pokémon rioting in many parts of Kanto, and Pokémon hunters are wreaking havoc on the wild Pokémon..."

He looked serious, pacing for a moment in thought before continuing, "The last time our informant reported, they found contraband that can send elves into a frenzy, and it's being sold in Black Cloud City."

"But Black Cloud City is too far away, and someone else has been assigned to take charge there. You need to go to Moon View Mountain and investigate the violent Pokémon situation there. A gym owner at Moon View Mountain has sent a request for assistance, and there's also a riot in the Nido Clan..."

Watari stopped and looked directly at Ukai, "I want to know if this is related to the contraband the informant found."

The reason why Ukai was sent to Mt. Tsukimi was because he was a water-type trainer. In front of the dominant Pokémon in Mt. Tsukimi who were mainly ground-type, no one was more suitable for this task than Ukai.

Yu Hai took a deep breath and replied, "Understood. I'll leave now."

He walked out of the room and came to the outskirts of the alliance headquarters. The square outside the headquarters was spacious and open. He raised his hand to release the toucan, and then rode on it nimbly. With a crisp cry, the toucan spread its wide wings and flew towards Yuejian Mountain.

Watari stood in the open space outside the Alliance headquarters, watching Ukai's figure gradually recede on his gull. The sunlight cast a faint shadow on his heavy face. He unconsciously clenched his fist, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged slightly, revealing his inner anger.

At this moment, he was extremely angry at Team Rocket for causing all this chaos. In his opinion, Team Rocket was like a cancer deeply rooted in the Kanto region, wantonly destroying the peace and tranquility of this land.

He had secretly made up his mind: he must eradicate this cancer completely.

The older generation always advocated taking things step by step, but he was unwilling to delay any longer. He wanted to use the power of thunder to wipe out the Rockets in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Ukai flew towards Mount Tsukimi, riding on the broad back of a large-billed gull, the sound of the wind whistling in his ears.

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes still fixed on the mission information in his hand. The sunlight shone through the clouds, illuminating the densely packed text on the paper. There was intelligence analysis and speculation that the reason these Pokémon went berserk was probably related to Team Rocket's forbidden experiment.

When he saw the words "Team Rocket", his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He knew Du too well. With Du's personality, he might have been planning to take action against Team Rocket.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have specially invited me to participate in this mission. After all, my strength is pretty good among the trainers, and compared to the strength of Team Rocket's cadres, I can be a great help to Du.

Thoughts were swirling in his mind. He knew that Du was a young man after all, full of passion. He had just become the league champion and wanted to make some political achievements and prove himself to certain people.

He must hate the Rockets, an underground organization that is extremely harmful, and he must be eager to get rid of it as soon as possible without any delay. Once he finds the Rockets' lair, given Du's style, he will definitely come out in full force and launch a full-scale attack.

Thinking of this, he felt a little worried. Doesn't that mean that the war between the league and the Rockets has quietly begun, and he has unknowingly become a part of it?
He really didn't expect that he would be involved in the fierce battle between the league and the Rockets. This war was the one with the highest casualties and intensity since the stable development of the league.

"No, I must find a way to get out." Yu Hai thought to himself. It is still the early stage of the war and the situation is relatively relaxed. The intensity of the war is far less intense than when they encircle and suppress Team Rocket in the future.

The current battles are basically based on covert actions such as infiltration, sabotage, and espionage. All parties are still testing each other's bottom line to control the intensity of the war within an acceptable range.

But Yu Hai knew that this kind of peace would not last long, and the situation would definitely become more serious. He had to find a way to escape as soon as possible.

However, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing before he successfully escaped. If he just passively slacked off, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Du, making Du think that he was hypocritical and not working hard?

This is absolutely unacceptable for his reputation and future development.

Du Ke was his superior, and he was the one who personally invited him and entrusted him with an important task.

No matter what system it is, the attitude of the superior is crucial. Unless you have enough capital, you can ignore the attitude of your superior. Otherwise, you can only live in fear.

He is the type who has no backing. If his superiors catch even the slightest flaw in him, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the alliance in the future.

Although he is not a trainer in the same direct system as Du, Du is a regional champion after all and has a respected status in the league. For such a big shot, every move will be watched by countless eyes and countless people will guess his thoughts behind his back.

He knew in his heart that if those troublesome little ghosts who liked to gossip and stir up trouble found out that Du was lazy and became unhappy with him or even disgusted with him, he would be in big trouble.

By then, I don’t know how many people will try to trip me up, openly or secretly, and I won’t be able to defend myself against them.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to come up with a foolproof way to escape before the war breaks out. This method must be comprehensive enough so that no one can find any fault with it. This is the best strategy.

Thinking of this, Yu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, and a plan gradually emerged in his mind. However, for now, he still had to follow the mission requirements and go to Yuejian Mountain to find out what kind of crazy Pokémon there was.

Moon Viewing Mountain is located to the east of the Alliance Headquarters. The weather here is pretty good, with bright sunshine and a gentle breeze.

He rode on the broad back of the big-billed gull and flew eastward. After just one morning, they passed through the bustling Deep Gray City and arrived above Moon Viewing Mountain.

Not yet landed...

"Boom, boom—" A muffled rumbling sound reached his ears. He looked up and saw a raging fire burning in a forest on Mount Tsukimi. Flames shot into the sky, thick smoke blotted out the sun, and the fire raged in the wind, crackling and popping as if it were roaring angrily.

"Is there a spirit fighting?" Yu Hai wondered, wanting to find out what was going on over there as quickly as possible. He then gently patted the gull's neck and shouted, "Gull, fly over and pray for rain."

The toucan screamed and quickly flew towards the source of the fire. When Yu Hai arrived, the scene in front of him was in chaos.

I saw a group of people fighting fiercely here. Their opponents were a group of huge and aggressive Nidoqueen and Nidoking.

The Nidoqueens let out low roars, their eyes were red, drool was dripping from the corners of their mouths, and their strong limbs pushed hard against the ground, raising a cloud of dust; Nidoking exuded a ferocious aura, his sharp poisonous horns flashed with cold light, and his eyes were also red.

Not far away, some elf hunters were capturing Nidobaby. These hunters were wearing dark, special clothes with many pockets, and their eyes were filled with greed and ferocity.

And in the crowd, Ukai also saw the figures of Xiaozhi and others, who were also involved in this chaotic battle.

"Tsk? Why do I keep running into these people everywhere? What's going on?" Yu Hai was bewildered, his eyes full of confusion.

He couldn't figure it out. Had he stumbled into some other movie? Logically, shouldn't Xiaozhi be in the Hoenn region, preparing for the tournament? How could he be here?

He swept his eyes through the crowd and saw Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng, and Xiaogang. This was obviously the configuration of the Hoenn region. How could they gather in the Kanto region?

What surprised him even more was that Xiaoxia was also here. This complicated situation made him confused for a while.

"Forget it, I'll ask after I'm done." Yu Hai thought to himself. The situation was urgent and he didn't have time to think too much.

He patted the gull gently and urged it, "Gull, go over and use the rain-making and water guns to put out the fire."

Then, he took out the Poké Ball from his waist, and the Psychic Doll appeared before him. He quickly ordered the Psychic Doll: "Psychic Doll, use teleport to take me there."

"Nian Nian." The telekinetic doll responded, its ruby-like eyes flashing blue light as it looked at Xiaozhi who was being besieged. Then a layer of blue light appeared around its body, and it disappeared from the spot with Yu Hai in an instant.

On the other side, Xiaozhi and others were in trouble. They kept retreating, their faces full of tension and anxiety. They didn't know when they were surrounded by the frenzied Nido Family.

Nidoqueen and Nidoking bared their fangs and made low roars, the sound of which made the ground tremble slightly. Xiaozhi and the others could only huddle together and retreat step by step with difficulty, trying to escape this dangerous encirclement.

At the critical moment, a powerful super power wave spread out, and a telekinetic clay doll and a man in black with his face completely covered appeared out of thin air. Xiaozhi and others were full of confusion, as they did not recognize the man in black in front of them at all.

When Ukai arrived, he had no time to chat with Xiaozhi and the others. The situation was urgent, so he shouted to the telekinetic doll, "Telekinetic doll, I'm leaving them in your care. Use teleportation to take them away from here..."

"Nian Nian." The telekinetic clay doll responded, and the superpower light around it became brighter, and it used telekinesis to gently wrap around Xiaozhi and others again.

In an instant, a blue light flashed, and they disappeared into the encirclement.

"Hello, who are you?" Xiaozhi just opened his mouth to ask something, and suddenly something seemed to come to his mind, but before he could finish his words, he was taken away by the telekinetic clay doll, and his voice gradually dissipated in the air.

Without any hesitation, Yu Hai quickly pulled out a handful of Poké Balls from his waist and threw them into the air.

"Go ahead, Starfish, Gravity Suppression, Frogger, Crabcrab, Gyarados, Lotte Kappa, Swampert, these crazy Pokémons are now in your hands!"

As he shouted, several red lights flashed, and several elves of different shapes appeared on the battlefield. They were agile and their eyes were full of eagerness to fight.

Faced with a group of berserk Pokémons that were mainly ground-type, he knew that Pokémons like Frog and others that were water-type were capable enough to deal with it.

Then, he threw another Poké Ball, and Slowking appeared before him. He quickly stepped forward, raised his hand and placed it on Slowking's shoulder, and shouted to him, "Slowking, take me over and stop them from capturing Nidoking's child..."

"Ah-dong." King Dai Dai nodded heavily, his eyes instantly lit up with bright blue light, and a layer of soft light appeared around his body. The light enveloped Yu Hai, and the next moment he instantly moved to the place where the poaching group was.

These greedy elf hunters took advantage of the chaotic moment when Nidoking and Nidoqueen fell into a state of madness, and tried to take the opportunity to capture the cubs of the Nido family and then slip away.

Their stealthy figures shuttled through the woods, holding the capture nets and Poké Balls tightly in their hands, ready to chase and intercept the escaping little Nidos at any time.

Seeing Yu Hai suddenly appear, the group of elf hunters instantly became alert. The leader waved his hand fiercely and shouted, "Go! Don't let him ruin our plan!"

The others responded and immediately threw out Poké Balls to resist. For a moment, red lights flashed in the woods, and Pokémon of various shapes appeared on the battlefield, roaring.

However, although this group of people look ferocious, their strength is just so-so. The strongest among them is only a quasi-king-level elf, which is far from the real king level.

Yu Hai couldn't help but wonder how such a group of people could make the powerful overlord Nidoking go crazy. After all, Nidoking is a king-level Pokémon.

Under the powerful telekinesis of Slow King, these elf hunters soon became blurry-eyed and their bodies swayed.

After a while, they were all controlled by hypnosis, as if their souls were sucked out, and they stood there blankly.

Yu Hai's expression was stern as he strode up to the poaching group leader. He stared at the hypnotized leader with a sharp gaze and asked, "How did you make Nidoking go crazy?"

The poaching gang leader's eyes were lifeless. After being hypnotized, he completely lost his consciousness and could only truthfully explain his actions: "It's a violent potion that came from the black market..."

"Black market? Berserk potion?" Yu Hai frowned, his mind racing with thoughts. "Could it be Team Rocket's stuff? Why would they be selling it? Can't our own people use it?"

These questions kept swirling in his mind, making him unable to figure out the reason. He once again stared at the poaching group leader and said in a more serious tone: "Tell me everything you know about the Berserk Potion!"
