Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 962, Golden City
In the dimly lit and noisy game hall, Yu Hai followed the yellow-haired gamer in twists and turns.

Along the way, the flashing lights and noisy sounds of various game consoles constantly impacted the senses, and the air was filled with a faint smell of cigarettes, making the internet-addicted young people even more excited.

The two finally came to the back of the game hall, and unexpectedly there was a KTV hidden there. The lights in the KTV corridor were a little dim, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

At the door of the box, two burly men were guarding it with serious expressions. They were wearing the same black suits and their eyes were scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

The young man walked forward with a flattering smile on his face, nodded and bowed to one of his men, and asked a few questions in a low voice.

After a while, he hurried back and said to Yu Hai: "The boss you are looking for is in there. Whether you can see him depends on your ability. I have already shown you the way. Here is the money..."

The young man stared at the money in Yu Hai's hand with greed in his eyes. Those banknotes had great magical power.

"Here." Yu Hai handed over the money without hesitation. A few banknotes were just a small matter. Completing the task was the most important thing.

While they were talking, the two men at the door of the box also cast their eyes on them, with scrutiny and vigilance in their eyes, but Yu Hai did not care. After giving the money to the young man playing the game, he strode towards the two of them with a calm expression.

"No trespassing!" The two men simultaneously reached out to stop Yu Hai, their tone firm and expression serious. They knew in their hearts that the boss was enjoying himself in there, and if they let anyone in without permission, they would have no chance of survival in this area in the future.

"Hehe." Yu Hai showed a disdainful smile, too lazy to waste words with them. He snapped his fingers lightly, and a black shadow instantly jumped out from the shadows. It was Gengar.

Gengar moved quickly, dragging the two away in the blink of an eye and throwing them into a corner. Before the two could resist, they were affected by the hypnosis cast by Gengar, slowly closed their eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Yu Hai pushed the door open and walked straight into the box. The speakers in the box were turned up to the maximum volume, and the deafening music filled the entire space. A group of men and women were twisting their bodies wantonly in the room, and the lights were flashing on them, making the whole scene chaotic and intoxicating.

He quickly scanned the crowd, and for a moment, he couldn't tell who Abby was, but he already had an idea in mind. He walked over to the speaker, bent down, and unplugged the power cord.

In an instant, the originally noisy box became quiet, leaving only people's rapid breathing and slight exclamations.

Everyone turned to look at Yu Hai, the culprit who suddenly broke in and ruined the happy atmosphere, with surprise, anger and confusion in their eyes.

"Who is Abi?" Yu Hai asked everyone directly in a loud voice, with a calm tone.

"Everyone get out!" Abby, who was sitting behind the crowd, finally spoke. His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of displeasure.

He didn't know what this guy who suddenly broke in was going to do, but it didn't matter anymore. He had to let this uninvited guest know what it meant to live a life worse than death.

At Abby's command, a group of women rushed out of the door in panic, their high heels making rapid tapping sounds on the ground.

Suddenly, only a few men sitting on the sofa were left in the entire box. They all looked at Yu Hai with unfriendly eyes, with flames of anger burning in their eyes. It was time to stretch their muscles.

The atmosphere in the box was tense, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Yu Hai remained calm, staring directly at Abi who was sitting on the sofa. He asked directly, "I heard you have a berserk potion here."

He didn't care about the thugs who gradually surrounded him. In his eyes, they were just minions. Even the target this time, Abby, was highly regarded by him.

"You've found the right person, but I'm very unhappy that you can't buy the medicine." Abby leaned his head back on the soft sofa, with arrogance and disdain on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly and signaled his men to take action, as if to say: Teach this ignorant guy a lesson.

However, Yu Hai just snapped his fingers lightly, and a crisp "click" sound rang out in the box.

In an instant, the minions that surrounded them were hit by an invisible huge force and were all bounced away. They fell heavily on the walls and the ground around them, groaning in pain.

It was Gengar who launched a telekinetic attack in the shadow. The powerful telekinetic shock wave left these minions unable to fight back.

"I was originally thinking of making a good deal with you, but since you don't want to sell, then things are simple." Yu Hai said as he slowly stepped forward. His obvious actions made it clear that he was going to rob.

"Who do you think you are?" Abby was furious, a trace of ferocity flashed across his face. He quickly reached out and took out the Poké Ball from his waist, opened it with force, and released the Pokémon while shouting, "Arbok, bite him to death..."

"Arbok? Arbok?" Abby couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw Arbok come out.

Instead of attacking, Arbok quickly curled up in the corner, its body trembling slightly, making a rustling sound, and its tongue constantly sticking out of its mouth, not daring to move forward at all.

The originally fierce eyes were filled with fear, staring at the dark shadow under Yu Hai's feet, as if there was something there that made it extremely scared.

It's right that it doesn't dare to move forward. In front of the pressure of Gengar's king-level power, an Arbok that is not even at the king-level dares to come forward and show its fangs and claws. It is simply overestimating its own capabilities and not knowing whether it lives or dies.

"This beast is smarter than you, Slowking. Hypnotize him and I'll find it myself." Yu Hai sneered and quickly took out the Poké Ball to release Slowking.

Slow King was floating in the box, with blue light emitting from his round eyes. With Yu Hai's order, Slow King was ready to start hypnosis.

"No, you can't. How dare you do this? Athens is standing behind me..." Abi seemed to realize that something was wrong. She retreated in panic and shouted loudly, trying to scare Yu Hai with the power behind her.

However, before Abby could finish his words, Slow King had already launched a hypnosis move. A soft hypnotic wave shot out from Slow King's eyes and instantly enveloped Abby.

Abby's eyes gradually became blurred, his body stopped struggling, and he was soon successfully hypnotized by King Slowpoke.

Afterwards, Slow King used his telekinesis to control Abby and brought her to Ukai.

"Slowking, hypnotize Arbok, and seal all Poké Balls." Yu Hai didn't want his next conversation to be heard by these Pokémon. These Pokémon might cause unnecessary trouble, so he had to take precautions in advance.

"Ah-dong." Slowking just glared at Arbok. It was a seemingly indifferent look, but it contained a powerful hypnotic wave.

Arbok did not resist and absorbed all the hypnotic waves. Its body softened and it fainted.

At the same time, all the Poké Balls on the table and sofa were firmly sealed by Slowking's telekinesis and could not move.

Only then did Yu Hai turn his gaze back to the hypnotized Abi and slowly ask, "What do you want to say about Athens?"

"Lady Athena." After being hypnotized, Abby's consciousness was completely out of his control. He could only confess the truth, with a hint of mechanicalness and confusion in his voice.

Yu Hai stared at the hypnotized Abi with a sharp gaze and continued to ask questions: "Athena? A member of Team Rocket? What is the relationship between the Berserk Potion and Athena? Where did you get the Berserk Potion from?"

"The Elf Rage Potion is a failed product from Lady Athena's laboratory. We secretly took it out and sold it to make a little money." Abby answered mechanically with a hollow look in his eyes, exploding without reservation.

He was obviously involved in this chain of interests, and at this moment he was completely out of his control and told the whole truth.

"Where is Athena doing research? Where is the experimental base?" Yu Hai was delighted, and keenly realized that this was a big fish. He had touched the core of the mission.

As long as the location of this experimental base is determined and it is confirmed that this batch of drugs came from there, they can transfer it over and close the net, destroying the Rockets' illegal experiment in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, he secretly laughed in his heart. This Abi was so stupid that he actually threatened him with someone who would put him in a desperate situation.

Don't even think about stealing and selling potions from Team Rocket's laboratory. Once discovered, these people will be severely punished, and they will be skinned alive if not killed.

"In Jinhuang City. I always pick up goods in Jinhuang City. I don't know where the experimental base is exactly..." Abi said weakly with his head drooping.

"Golden City, a fairly large branch of Team Rocket, and Nancy's territory." Yu Hai muttered to himself. Hearing the location of Golden City, he couldn't help but feel that this task was a bit tricky.

Nancy is not an easy character to deal with. He really doesn't want to confront Nancy head-on. Moreover, Nancy's status in Team Rocket is not low. Her methods and abilities should not be underestimated. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is Sakaki's trusted subordinate.

Fortunately, based on the information he currently has, Sabrina should be in the Orange Islands, not in Goldenrod City. This means he can take this opportunity to go and investigate, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Where are the remaining berserk potions?" Yu Hai already had an idea in his mind. He planned to disguise it as a robbery scene so as not to arouse the suspicion of Team Rocket.

It's all because Abby acted too high-profile, which just fits the scene of a robbery. What's more, it was a group of insiders who were reselling the Rockets' assets. It is estimated that they dare not report this matter at all.

"It's all in my backpack..." Abby whispered back.

"Gengard, swallow the backpack, spit out the Poké Balls inside, and take the backpack away." Yu Hai turned his head and gave orders to Gengar in the shadows.

These potions are all crucial physical evidence. Once handed in after the mission is completed, they will become evidence to expose Team Rocket's forbidden experiments.

Before leaving, he still had some key details to clarify. After all, if a failed product could drive the elf crazy, how powerful would a successful potion be?
Thinking of this, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he continued to ask the hypnotized Abi: "How is the rage potion made? What are the raw materials? What effects does a successful potion have?"

"I don't know the raw materials for the potion. Only the cadres at the base know." Abby's voice remained dull as he continued, "I only know that a successful potion can be used to enhance superpowers. I've seen cadres use it..."

"Does a successful potion have any side effects? What are the side effects?" Yu Hai frowned slightly, and suddenly the image of Nancy in the King's Tournament flashed through his mind. She had a burst of super powers, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart: Could it be that Nancy used this successful violent potion?
However, even if he had such a guess in his mind, and the facts were almost correct.

But at the moment, he had no way to report Nancy. He still couldn't understand why Team Rocket didn't expose the matter after discovering that he had traveled through time, and even didn't reveal his identity as a member of the Spider-Man team.

Since the other party did not take any action, he naturally would not take the initiative to break this delicate balance. After all, actively reporting the Rockets' undercover agent would not only do him no good at the moment, but it might also bring about a double blow from the Rockets and the league.

He didn't want to get into such a predicament. Everything needed to be considered carefully and would take time.

He thought silently in his heart, once he becomes strong enough, what will happen even if Team Rocket exposes him as a member of the Spider-Man?

Anyway, every time he "robbed the robbers", he robbed illegal items and eliminated those who deserved it.

As long as they stubbornly deny it, coupled with the Rockets' baseless accusations, no one will believe them.

Moreover, by then, he would have enough strength and a group of capable subordinates, so who could do anything to him!
“A successful berserk potion has no side effects, but it will weaken the elf for a long time, during which time the elf’s strength will be less than half of its original strength,” Abby continued.

"This is a good thing. It can save lives in critical moments. No wonder Sabrina can unleash such strong power." Yu Hai nodded slightly, having made his judgment.

Then, he raised his hand and waved it gently, calling out to Slowking, "Slowking, put it down, use Teleport, let's go..."

Upon receiving the command, Slowking slowly lowered the hypnotized Abby. Just as it used Instant Transmission, space distorted, and Yu Hai and Slowking's figures vanished instantly.

Almost simultaneously, the door to the private room was pushed open with a bang, and a group of people dressed in black rushed into the room.

They saw Abi lying unconscious on the ground. The leader of the men in black glared at them and slapped him hard across the face several times.

"Slap, slap—"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the private room, breaking the silence. The bewildered group, jolted awake, had no idea what had happened.

"Huh? Boss? What happened?" Abby had just woken up from his unconsciousness, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment, his head still a little dizzy. He hadn't figured out what was going on at all and had no idea that he had just experienced a robbery.

"Useless!" Abi's leader was furious, his eyes wide open, as if spitting fire.

He clenched his fists in anger, gripping Abby's collar tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. As the manager of the game center, he also received a substantial share of the profits from this theft and sale. Now that this had happened, how could he not be furious?

"I heard someone broke in. Where are the goods you were selling?" His voice boomed like thunder in Abi's ears.

“Me? I remember now…” Abby was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly froze, and his face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He suddenly remembered everything, and abruptly looked up, his gaze sweeping urgently towards the sofa. When he saw that the spot where his backpack had been was empty, his heart sank instantly.

Then, he caught sight of Arbok lying unconscious in the corner, and immediately realized that he had completely lost.

"Damn it, you piece of trash!" The boss was even more furious when he saw that Abi hadn't spoken for a long time. He slapped Abi hard across the face several times and shouted, "What are you doing being silent? Tell me, where's the goods? Where's the man?"

He was extremely anxious at this moment, because if the Rockets' executives found out that they had secretly sold off the Rockets' assets, the consequences would be unimaginable; they would be severely punished, if not killed.

"Boss, it's been stolen..." Abby lowered his head, not daring to look directly into his boss's angry eyes, his voice filled with frustration and helplessness.

At this moment, facing his boss's torrent of scolding and slapping, he knew it was too late to say anything, and could only remind him, "That person is very strong, and he's wearing a mask..."

"Useless trash!" The old man kicked the table beside him in a fit of rage, making a loud crash. He then tossed Abi aside, a glint of malice in his eyes, and cursed viciously, "Check the surveillance footage! Even if you have to turn Yuhong City upside down, find this person for me..."

"Yes!" Seeing their boss so angry, the subordinates knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly responded in unison, their voices tinged with fear.

After responding, they didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly scattered to carry out their respective tasks, leaving only Abby and his angry boss in the private room.

……

Meanwhile, Yu Hai had already left the bustling city of Yu Hong. He rode a giant beak and soared into the sky, the city lights gradually shrinking beneath his feet until they disappeared from sight.

The Team Rocket group that was still searching for him all over Celadon City was destined to never find him. Having obtained the crucial information he had been desperately seeking, he didn't linger for a moment and decisively continued flying towards Goldenrod City.

When he finally arrived in Golden City, the city was already immersed in the tranquility of midnight. The streets and alleys were dimly lit, with only occasional vehicles speeding by, breaking the silence.

He dared not act rashly now, as this was an area where the Rockets held sway, and a slight misstep could lead to an attack by the Rockets.

He randomly selected a hotel in the city. The hotel's exterior was unremarkable, but in the quiet of the night, it exuded a unique tranquility.

He walked into the hotel lobby, went to the front desk, took out the fake ID that the alliance had provided for him, handed it to the front desk staff, and said in a calm tone, "Book a room."

This false identity is an important guarantee for him to carry out his mission. Although using a false identity seems to be breaking the law, it is also required for the mission. The fake ID card was also provided by the alliance. He can be considered to be "breaking the law on orders".

There was no other way; as investigators dispatched by the Alliance to carry out secret missions, they had to conceal their true identities at all times. In such a dangerous environment, the slightest carelessness could expose their identities.

At that point, not only will the mission fail, but one's own life will also be seriously threatened.

After checking into the room, Yu Hai dragged his somewhat tired body upstairs in the elevator, entered the room, gently closed the door, and threw himself onto the soft bed.

He stared at the ceiling, silently planning his next move. He intended to rest well at the hotel for the night and then search for Team Rocket's research base the next day.

When the time comes, we'll find a way to infiltrate and obtain some crucial evidence. Once we have the evidence, we can notify Wataru to close in and completely destroy Team Rocket's lab.

If this mission is successfully completed, the merit will be enough, as it involves secret research on Team Rocket's superpowers.

According to the alliance's rules, completing such an important task should earn one the opportunity to enter the treasure vault.

And isn't this precisely the reason he went through all that trouble and ventured into dangerous territory to carry out this mission...?
