Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 971, go home

It was the sixtieth day in the Orange Islands, and it was cloudy.

Soft clouds floated slowly, and a week later, Yu Hai was finally able to get out of bed.

His legs were only slightly injured, and getting up from the bed was not a difficult task. If Miss Joy had not been so firm and insisted that he lie down and recuperate, he would not have had to stay in bed for a week.

Today, he still has some internal injuries. The penetrating wound in his abdomen has begun to heal, but it still causes dull pain every time he moves. The fracture in his left arm has not fully recovered and can only be fixed with plaster.

During the week he spent recuperating at the Pokémon Center in Cerulean City, he had already decided to leave. He really didn't want to say goodbye to Miss Joy, who had taken good care of him for so long, in person, for fear that he would be stopped from leaving.

So he carefully wrote a thank-you letter, picked out a gift, and gently placed it on the bed where Miss Joy would definitely see it.

He made the same arrangement at the Cerulean Gym. He asked Slowking to send a thank-you letter to Misty. Over the past week, Miss Joy and the four Misty sisters often came to visit him, which made him feel very warm while recuperating in a foreign place.

In order to express his gratitude, he prepared a high-level Water Stone for Misty. As a water-type trainer, Misty should like such a gift.

As for Miss Joy, he gave her a high-level Moon Stone. He saw Miss Joy tame a Pipi, and this Moon Stone could just allow Pipi to evolve into Pixi.

After completing these farewell matters, he took Slowking with him and had him use teleportation to leave the Pokémon Center.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the forest on the outskirts of Cerulean City. The forest was quiet and deep. The sunlight shone through the lush branches and leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Birds chirped on the branches, and the breeze blew gently, bringing the sound of rustling leaves.

Mewtwo was quietly waiting for them here. Yu Hai looked at Mewtwo sitting quietly in the forest and whispered, "Let's go, Mewtwo."

"Okay." Mewtwo slowly opened his deep eyes, the blue light flashing in his eyes, and the supernatural blue light emanating from his body gradually disappeared.

Then, Mewtwo gently used his telekinesis to lift Ukai gently and slowly rise into the air.

They did not plan to use teleportation for the rest of the journey. Hualan City was too far away from Xiagan Island. If they used teleportation, Yu Hai's body might not be able to withstand it, and he might even vomit blood again.

So, they chose a more gentle way to travel and used Mewtwo's super powers to fly back to the Orange Islands.

Ukai and Slowking were wrapped in Mewtwo's super powers and sat steadily in the air. They seemed to be integrated with the sky. The mountains and rivers under their feet, the vast ocean were sparkling, and the sound of surging waves came faintly from below.

The journey was peaceful and nothing unexpected happened. From early morning to dusk, the sun moved slowly across the sky, witnessing their return journey.

At noon, they were so hungry that they could only eat lunch hurriedly while flying in the air. The simple food was chewed in their mouths, mixed with the slight airflow caused by Mewtwo's steady flight.

It was not until the night completely enveloped the earth and stars twinkled in the night sky that they arrived at the lakeside cabin on Xiagan Island.

The wooden house was quiet and peaceful under the moonlight. The lake rippled gently in the breeze, and the woods made a slight rustling sound. The elves, sensing the arrival of someone, all rushed over.

While on the way, Du called once. When Du learned that Yu Hai had disappeared, he wanted to be discharged from the hospital and go back. He paused for a moment and didn't say anything more. He just expressed his concern and wanted to send someone to send Yu Hai back.

Yu Hai was filled with gratitude. After sincerely thanking Du for his kindness, he politely declined, "Du, don't bother. I can go back slowly. I'll just change the medicine on time at the Pokémon Center on Xiagan Island."

After hanging up the phone, he said goodbye to Du and returned to the lakeside cabin on Xiagan Island.

At the lakeside cabin, only the copy Pokémon brought by Mewtwo were left behind, while Butterfree and the others were still at the Xiagan Gym. It was late at night and there was silence all around. In addition, Ukai was injured and had difficulty moving, so he really didn't want to alarm Butterfree and the others.

He didn't want Dunmei's family to know about his injury, as it would only increase everyone's worries. It would be better for him to focus on recovering first.

The only one who knew they were back was Farfetch'd, who was in charge of delivering food to the clones. When Farfetch'd saw Ukai injured, his lively eyes widened instantly, and his feathers exploded in anger. He flapped his wings angrily, tightly clutching the scallion in his wings, and asked Slowking, "Quack! What happened? Why didn't you protect Ukai?"

"Ah-dong." Slowking sighed helplessly, its round eyes filled with helplessness. It really didn't understand the purpose of the trainer's visit, and how could it explain it to Farfetch? It could only signal Farfetch to ask the trainer himself.

"Flaty Ducky, don't tell Butterfree and the others." Ukai sat under the eaves, waving gently at Farfetch'd, a weak and gentle smile appearing on his pale face.

When the Farfetch'd Ducky heard the call, it walked over angrily, staggering. Yu Hai gently touched its head, and the familiar touch made it feel warm in its heart.

They haven't seen each other for more than a year. The long year passed by like a gust of wind. Returning to this familiar place, Yu Hai felt a lot of emotions in his heart. In a trance, he felt as if he was in another world.

"Quack?" The Farfetch'd Ducky tilted its head, its eyes full of confusion, as if asking why it couldn't speak.

Yu Hai smiled helplessly and explained patiently: "Flaty Ducky, we can't let them worry. It's not too late to tell them when I feel better."

There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and the image of Butterfree, a lively, cute and coquettish girl, emerged in his mind. What he was most worried about was Butterfree, who had walked out of the deserted island with them.

This little guy is always possessed by the spirit of drama. If Batadiou knew that he was injured, given the close relationship between Batadiou and Dunmei, Dunmei would definitely know about it. Once Dunmei knew about it, Dunmei's whole family would definitely know about it.

Thinking of this, Yu Hai decided to wait for two or three months until his injuries were almost healed before telling everyone about this.

He slowly took out the Poké Ball and gently pressed the button. With flashes of red light, all his companions were released. Familiar figures surrounded him. At this moment, he felt extremely at ease.

"Everyone, I haven't been back for a long time. There is no need for training from now on. Everyone should have a good rest..." Yu Hai raised his head slightly. Although his voice was a little weak, it was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. His eyes slowly swept over every Pokémon, and his eyes were full of joy of reunion.

"Yoru," Poliwrath stretched lazily as soon as it emerged from its Poké Ball, its limbs outstretched, and it made a satisfied sound. Just as it lowered its forelimbs, it looked up and saw Yu Hai wrapped in bandages. Its relaxed expression instantly froze, its eyes filled with confusion and worry.

It froze for a moment, then quickly rushed over and called out to Gengar anxiously, with obvious questions in its voice, asking why Gengar hadn't taken good care of Yu Hai: "Yo Lu, Yo Lu..."

"Fast Swim Frog, I asked you to do this. Don't ask anymore. Cough cough..." Yu Hai quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth. Because he was a little excited when he spoke just now, it affected the wound. A pain came and he couldn't help coughing.

His face became paler and paler, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. It was really painful!

"Kouhee, kouhee," Gengar slowly floated out from the shadows, his body looming in the moonlight. He spread his hands helplessly towards the Frog and the others, as if to say, "Ahai asked me to do this, there's nothing I can do."

"Luka," Lucario immediately activated the waveguide to sense the situation in Yu Hai as soon as it appeared. It narrowed its eyes slightly and sensed attentively.

After a moment, he felt that Yu Hai's injury was not serious and he would recover slowly as long as he rested well. His tense body finally relaxed and his nervous expression eased a lot.

"Hey," the giant mantis turned its head and looked at Slow King with sharp eyes. It was a little confused. Slow King was right next to Yu Hai at the time, so how could he have hurt Yu Hai?

"Ah Dong," Dai Dai Wang was too lazy to explain any more. He slowly floated under the eaves, closed his eyes and began to meditate, letting these guys ask Ah Hai themselves.

"Jiejie," the lightning bird landed gently in front of Yu Hai. It knew very well that it carried a strong electric current. Facing the weak Yu Hai, its movements were particularly light, for fear of accidentally hurting Yu Hai.

The electric current in its body was also confined to its feathers, and only a few faint flashes of electric light occasionally appeared.

"Buuuu," the Umbreon also came out of the Poké Ball. Its originally cheerful movements suddenly stopped when it saw the bandages on Yu Hai's body.

It didn't dare to jump on Yu Hai and act coquettishly as usual. It just rubbed Yu Hai's feet gently, so gently that it was afraid of hurting Yu Hai. After rubbing, it lay down at the feet and yawned a little, without taking its eyes off Yu Hai.

"Woo woo," Dragonite's eyes were full of worry. It stood aside, its huge body looking a little clumsy.

It was too weak to participate in the battle at that time and had no idea what was happening.

At this moment, it could only stand clumsily on the periphery, looking at Yu Hai with concern, and making a few concerned low sounds from time to time.

"Quack," Toxic Skull Frog looked at the injuries on Yu Hai's body, feeling a little confused and annoyed. It couldn't help but look at Gengar, as if wondering why he hadn't let it out.

Seeing that Gengar was still silent and refused to say anything, it stopped asking questions and just walked to the corner silently, standing there quietly, secretly guarding the wooden house and Yu Hai.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm fine. I just need to rest. You can have fun by yourselves." Yu Hai looked at the pairs of eyes that were either worried, angry, or concerned, and he felt very moved. These were all children he adopted and raised.

He forced a smile and comforted everyone softly, hoping that they would not go and reminisce with other elves because of him.

The next feeding task can be handed over to King Slow and a few more sensible elves. He leaned back in his chair, watching their busy figures, feeling a little relieved in his heart, and the pressure of work was relieved a lot.

If he could reclaim and build an island, establish a gym on the island, and then ask an acquaintance to help feed the Pokémon, his work would undoubtedly be easier.

This was the main reason why he seriously considered Du's proposal to become a gym leader. With a gym as a base, it would be much easier for him to do many things. If he had to do everything himself, he would probably have no time to take care of other things and would only be able to deal with more and more Pokémons all day long.

With the gym as a stable base, many things can be carried out much more smoothly, and he can also find a place for his subordinates to stay. However, he still needs to plan carefully the many details of opening up the land and building the gym.

"Frog, Lucario, come here." Yu Hai yawned subconsciously. After flying in the air all day today, he was already exhausted and just wanted to have a good sleep.

He looked at Mewtwo with a slightly apologetic look and chuckled softly, "Mewtwo, I need to rest. You can wander around by yourself. Ask Blastoise and the other Pokémon about the missing little ones. They all know..."

"Okay." Mewtwo nodded slightly. It looked around and saw that many of the little guys were in good condition, so its heart finally settled down.

It found that some little guys were not here. After some inquiries, it learned that some little guys yearned for the wider world outside and left on their own; some became Pokémon of other trainers, and the remaining little guys gathered here.

"Swimper, Lucario, help me up." Yu Hai slowly stood up, raised his hand and placed it on Lucario's shoulder, signaling the two Pokémon to help him up the stairs. His room had been unoccupied for a long time, and he would take the quilt out to air it out in the sun someday when he had time.

Boom, boom, boom——

However, the weather was not good. He had just climbed up the stairs when bursts of muffled thunder suddenly came from the clear sky, followed by a fine drizzle that fell and hit the dusty windows. He shook his head helplessly.

He couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought that after the gym was built, the whole island might be covered by storms every day. In such weather, he was afraid that he would suffer from rheumatic legs at a young age, which would be a big trouble.

It seems that the island needs to be planned to be larger. Half of the area can be built into residential areas and gyms, and the other half can be preserved as virgin forest.

Then let Zapdos control the range of rainfall and guide the rain to land in the primeval forest area. Maybe it will be possible to create a unique island where half of the weather is rainy and half is sunny.

However, these beautiful ideas can only be realized after his injuries are healed. According to the physical fitness of humans in the elf world and advanced medical technology, his abdominal wound should heal quickly, and his broken arm should be restored to its original state in two to three months at most.

When the time comes, he can report to Du and start preparing to open up the wasteland...
