Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 989: See the dog again

The 722nd day of staying in the Orange Islands was cloudy.

"Okay, I'll get it ready. Okay, you go ahead," Yu Hai was having lunch in the gym and couldn't help but sigh after putting down the phone.

Half a year has passed, and he has stayed in the Orange Islands for more than two years. Diaoyu Island is changing every day, and his gym is about to face the final test.

The call just now was from Yongci. Yongci called to remind him that the Orange Alliance's gym assessment could come at any time and asked him to be prepared.

What will be tested at that time depends entirely on the examiner's mood. Yuji said that there is nothing he can do and asked Yukai to prepare himself.

Yu Hai put down his phone. He was not worried about the gym assessment. It was just the same old three things. Besides, these gym leaders were appointed by the alliance. For the sake of stability in the Orange Islands, the inspectors should not make things difficult for them.

Unless the examiner who comes to test him has a grudge against him, he will make things difficult for him and prevent him from passing the gym test.

Over the past six months, as the population has increased to one thousand, the changes that have followed are also very gratifying. One thousand people means two hundred and fifty families, which means more than two hundred laborers, who are helping him build the island for free.

There are more and more apartment buildings in the port city, and more and more children in the port school. The elves that are injured in battle by the children will also go to the elf center for treatment.

The Elf Center and Police Station were also completed in the past six months. Miss Junsha and Miss Joey officially moved in to serve the residents of the island.

Some trivial disputes no longer need to be resolved by going to him, the gym leader, but by going to Miss Junsha, which makes him feel a lot more relaxed.

Commercial streets and hot spring streets also sprang up in the past six months. After the department stores were full, later merchants had no shops and could only rent shops in the commercial streets.

A commercial street is different from a department store. A department store does not charge rent in order to protect people's livelihood, but a commercial street does not care. Merchants are allowed to compete freely. No one will buy if the price is too high anyway.

With the department store as a backup, he is not afraid of merchants driving up prices. The existence of department stores is to enable people to buy general merchandise. Anything can be bought in the building, from furniture and appliances to pots and pans, anything can be bought. This is the origin of department stores.

Investors have also appeared in the hot spring street, and it is packed with customers every day. There is an endless stream of customers coming to take a bath, and most of them are workers who are tired from work.

As for the commercial street and hot spring street, he is only a landlord who collects rent and does not run any shops. The hot spring hotel is only a place for trainers who challenge the gym to rest.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he will not have any other industries on the island except the port and the gym, including the holiday beach that is about to be developed, which will be contracted out to others for development. He only needs to connect with businesses and collect rent.

This can avoid many trading disputes and reduce unnecessary trouble. Once a merchant causes a huge negative impact, the merchant can take the blame. He can act like a good person to win people's hearts and make money to win their hearts.

There is also a dojo that was officially opened a few months ago, but not many people come to challenge the dojo. Children in the school are not allowed to challenge it because there are also dojo challenges in the school.

Luoyan and others have joined the gym and are considered gym trainers. They can accept challenges from children at school. If those children cannot even beat Dashi and Xiaoming, there is no need for them to challenge the gym.

After more than a year of growth, the woods near the gym also grew up to a height of five or six meters. He basically planted tall fruit trees around the lake, and short fruit trees near the lake.

The incubator and egg-hatching room in the backyard of the gym are also managed by the scientist Huocun. The former cadre of the Lava Team is now learning postpartum care for Pokémon and the eighteen ways to keep eggs warm. He has completely integrated into the life of the gym.

Immigrants coming to Diaoyu Island would register at the port, bring their children to the gym to receive their initial Pokémon, and then send them to school. This was a fixed process, and he didn't need to worry about it.

Finally, the labor reform of the Magma Team has been completed. Who would have thought that the Magma Team, which was so famous in the Hoenn region, would disappear without a trace.

Hearing the name of Lava Team again many years later has become a topic of conversation after dinner. Everyone wants to know the mystery of the Lava Team's disappearance, but this unsolved case is destined to be known only to a few people.

When all the members of the Lava Team were no longer prisoners, only one person was still stubborn, but he was much better than before. At least he was not as hostile when he saw him.

He gave three different options to the freed members of the Lava Team.

The first one is that if you want to live on the island, you have to work for compensation. The elves will not return it, and everything has to start from scratch.

The second option is that if you want to leave Diaoyu Island, he will not stop you, but the elf will still not return.

The third type, those who still want to be trainers, will be assigned to work under Luoyan and Aaron, and they can get their own Pokémon back if they perform well.

He did not block the road, but gave this group of people a chance to find their elves. He kept these people because he wanted to transform them into islanders or patrol teams on the island, responsible for the port security of Diaoyu Island and patrols of the surrounding waters.

Miss Junsha only deals with neighborhood disputes among residents and incidents such as trainers using Pokémon to commit crimes, but she cannot prevent pirate invasions. Only the gym trainers can be responsible for the safety of the island.

He planned to form a patrol team for Diaoyu Island, which would be composed entirely of quasi-king trainers, that is, more than ten elite members of the Magma Team. As the captain of the patrol team, he would be responsible for leading people to patrol the island and the surrounding waters for safety.

Although these people have undergone a year of labor and ideological transformation, they will not be able to get their elves back immediately. It depends on their performance. Only those who are trustworthy can get their elves back and obtain the status of patrol captain.

Butler and Diane were also freed and got their Pokémon back. Unlike Team Magma, these two had already left Team Magma and were naturally able to get their Pokémon back, including Dragonite, which had lost a lot of weight when it was retrieved.

Seeing the current state of Dragonite, no matter how unwilling Butler was, he could only endure it, because Yu Hai did not break his promise. They gained freedom and got their elves back, which was a pretty good result.

In addition, he had been working for more than half a year and his body was full of muscles, which helped the magician in this circus to build a strong body.

After Diane and her friend were freed, they did not leave immediately, but chose to settle down on Diaoyu Island. Diane also applied for a teacher position at a school. After all, having received elite education from the aristocracy, it was enough for her to teach a group of children.

Seeing that Dragonite was in such a miserable state, Yu Hai couldn't bear it any more. In addition, Dragonite was also of great help to the construction of the island. He promised Butler and Diane a shop. The two chose the hot spring street and started a hot spring business.

Fire Goose, the only stubborn one in the Lava Team, has gained a semi-free status. If no one came to him to beg for mercy, he would have planned to get rid of this stubborn one.

He also didn't expect that Ah Man, who was the prisoner supervisor and had only supervised this group of prisoners for a few months, had actually become friends with Huo Yan and even came to him to plead for mercy for a prisoner.

That day, Aman came to see him and knelt heavily before him with a thud. His rough hands unconsciously gripped the hem of his clothes, and he buried his head deeply, not daring to look up at him. Aman himself knew that what he was asking for was not exactly honorable, but Ayan's sweet smile kept appearing in his mind. For some reason, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Ayan was not a bad person.

But now that A Yan is a captive, he doesn't dare to ask Yu Hai to let A Yan go directly. He only hopes to help A Yan get rid of her status as a captive by atonement.

Yu Hai sat in the study of the dojo, looking at Ah Man kneeling on the ground, his brows tightly twisted into the shape of a "chuan" character, his face full of speechlessness. These guys really can't get along with "Yan Zi", right?
The honest Ah Man in front of him was his trusted team that he had cultivated with great effort. Could it be that he was so easily deceived by a woman?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. If he had known earlier, he should have kicked the fire goose directly off the crater to avoid all the troubles now.

"Do you know who she is?" Yu Hai asked coldly, his voice echoing in the study with a hint of questioning.

Ah Man's body trembled slightly, still lowering his head. His fingers were so nervous that they tightly grasped the corners of his clothes. His palms were full of sweat. His voice was filled with pleading: "I know, Brother Hai, I just want to help her."

Yu Hai stared at Ah Man closely, trying to find a trace of hesitation on Ah Man's face. He really didn't want to see this honest child being deceived by a black-bellied, yandere and scheming beautiful girl.

After a pause, he asked again in a deep voice: "Have you thought it through?"

Ah Man took a deep breath, finally mustering up the courage. She placed her hands on the ground, her entire body prostrating on the cold floor. Her voice was filled with determination: "I've made up my mind, Brother Hai. Please allow me to atone for her sins."

"Okay, take out all the Poké Balls. No matter what you want to do, do it as an ordinary person." Yu Hai looked at Ah Man's determined look and sighed helplessly. Although he had many objections in his heart, he could do nothing about Ah Man.

At this time, the atmosphere in the study was a little depressing. The sunlight shone through the window onto the ground, illuminating Ah Man's kneeling figure. The other party had given up his dignity for a woman. I wonder what the other party should do when this woman doesn't care about him?

Ah Man gritted his teeth and slowly took out all the Poké Balls from the Poké Ball belt around his waist. The Poké Balls in his rough big hands carried the warmth of past battles and companionship.

"All my Poké Balls are here." Ah Man's voice was choked with sobs. Although he was reluctant, his eyes became firm again when he thought of Huoyan.

He placed the Poké Balls one by one on the desk, his movements cautious and careful. These were not just Pokémon, but also extremely important companions in his life. After putting down the Poké Balls, he raised his head with his eyes full of prayers, hoping that Yu Hai would treat these Pokémon well.

"I will help you keep the Poké Balls until the day you figure it out. Take your Skelton with you and go." Yu Hai stood up and collected the Poké Balls on the table one by one. He knew very well that Ah Man was determined to do this. In addition, he was in love and realized that it was useless to say more.

He left behind a large-billed gull, hoping that Ah Man would have some ability to protect herself when facing dangers in life, and also hoping that Ah Man could get out of the maze of this relationship as soon as possible.

"Brother Hai..." Ah Man slowly raised his head, his eyes fell on the lonely Gull Poké Ball left on the table, and then looked at Yu Hai who stood up and left. Yu Hai's back gradually walked away in the sunlight, taking away all the support he once had.

He knew in his heart that from this moment on, he had returned to his original self with nothing. In the days to come, without Yu Hai's support and protection, and without the elf companions who fought side by side with him, he would have to walk all the paths step by step on his own.

Although he felt confused and lost, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes when he thought that Huoyan might be able to escape from his status as a captive.

With Ah Man's departure, everyone knew what a foolish thing Ah Man had done, giving up everything for a girl.

This was the path Ah Man chose for himself. He could only work silently and help Huoyan from time to time. Until an accident at a construction site, he almost fell to his death while trying to save Huoyan. After being rescued by a toucan, he also broke his arm.

I don't know who leaked the news, maybe Diane, maybe Himura, or another member of the Magma Team...

Huoyan only then learned that Ah Man had given up his position as a gym trainer in order to help her. She was very moved after hearing this, so she scolded Ah Man and ignored him. She was a very strong-willed girl and would never accept charity from anyone.

Not long after, Huoyan learned that all of Ah Man's elves had been confiscated, which resulted in Ah Man being unable to release the elves to protect himself and injuring his arm.

Just for working with him and receiving the same treatment as their captives, Ah Man even had the elves he had carefully cultivated confiscated by that unfortunate man.

She immediately became angry and wanted to find Yu Hai to argue with him. She rushed directly into the gym and cursed at Yu Hai, asking why he took away the Pokémon that others had carefully cultivated.

Yu Hai, on the other hand, was interested in this. After Huo Yan had finished cursing, he raised his hand and gently tapped the armrest of the chair. He looked at the furious Huo Yan quietly, with a look of scrutiny and a bit of amusement in his eyes. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly, "He handed over the spirit voluntarily. He wanted to help you atone for your sins voluntarily. No one forced him..."

"Also, are you questioning me as a prisoner?" Yu Hai said with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and he almost laughed at this person.

A captive, a prisoner, actually dared to yell at him. You should know that according to Yu's previous style, the greatest respect for the enemy is to completely destroy it. Letting Huoyan survive until now is the greatest mercy he can show.

The moment Huoyan heard the word "captive", it was as if she was hit by a cold electric current. Her body shook violently, and the horrific memory of the execution of the leader and the Hokage in the crater that day instantly flooded into her mind.

The boiling magma emitted suffocating heat, the pungent smell of sulfur still lingered at the tip of my nose, and the dizziness caused by hunger in those days seemed to come back again, and my body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

At this moment, she finally realized that she was like a ridiculous clown in front of Yu Hai, nothing, and no one cared about her at all. Only that silly boy was the one who really cared about her.

"Prisoners don't deserve to be here." Yu Hai waved his hand with an annoyed look, as if he was driving away a disgusting fly. He made the face of a big villain so disgusting that he was acting like himself.

Then, he shouted to Aaron who was standing beside him: "Along, take the prisoners away and take them back to where they came from. Anyone who leaves their post or breaks into the gym will be punished and their workload will be doubled..."

He deliberately emphasized the word "punishment" and his tone was unquestionable and carried the majesty of a superior.

"Yes, owner!" Aaron stepped forward immediately and quickly released the elf. The elf took a few steps forward, gently picked up the corner of Huoyan's clothes, and dragged away Huoyan, who seemed to have his soul sucked out and collapsed on the ground powerlessly.

Huoyan's eyes were empty at this moment. She let the elf pull her without any resistance. Her heart finally died at this moment.

As Huoyan and Ah Man gradually disappeared at the door of the gym, Yu Hai sighed helplessly and slowly turned to leave. His back was stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun. This was all he could do to help Ah Man.

From now on, everything depends on Ah Man’s own fate. Now is the time for Ah Man to occupy Huo Yan’s heart.

When he returns from the Sinnoh region, if this stubborn guy still cannot change his mind, still holds on to the extreme ideas of the Magma Team, and refuses to submit to ideological reform, then he can only do it himself and clean up the mess.

The stability and development of this island cannot tolerate any destabilizing factors...
