Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 538, Butterfly
On the ice, the eighth group match is about to begin...

Yu Hai called Xia Gan Gym at the Pokémon Center, preparing to teleport a little guy over to play in today's group match.

He already had a choice for today's group match elves, and thought of the information Xiao Ming had gathered.

Xiao Shun is a trainer at the Ligurian Gym and a partner of Koji. Most of his Pokémon are Grass-type, including Skank, Eggplant, Skullflower, Lotuscapped Kid, and Lizard. Due to the lack of evolution stones, their Pokémon are all unevolved and have not evolved into their final forms.

In addition to these five Grass-type Pokémon, there is also a Pidgeot and a Gyarados. Gyarados is Xiao Shun's trump card. It is very powerful, even stronger than Koji's Gyarados, and has at least senior-level strength.

After knowing Xiao Shun's basic information, he teleported Butterfree over. Butterfree, which is a bug-type and flying-type Pokémon, is a good opponent against Xiao Shun, who is mainly a Grass-type Pokémon. In this first match of the group stage, he will use Butterfree.

He asked the maid to teleport Butterfree over, and he also asked about Ada's situation, only to find out that Ada had gone for training. This kid is really hardworking, and he wonders how much the other party will grow after he returns.

He didn't know about Ada's parents' return and didn't ask. Naturally, there was no need for the maid to tell him, so he regrettably missed the opportunity to find out.

The most important thing now is the competition. He hung up the phone after getting Butterfree, pressed the switch of the Poké Ball, and released Butterfree.

"Mee-e-e? Mee-e-e," Butterfree suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment and was a little scared, but after seeing Yu Hai, it jumped directly into Yu Hai's arms, constantly calling out "Mee-e-e."

Ukai couldn't understand what Batouchou was yelling, but he could roughly make out that she must be missing him again.

“Okay, okay, I miss you too, Batouchou. We need to work hard next time,” Ukai smiled and rubbed Batouchou’s head, his red compound eyes almost tearful.

"Mmmmm," Butterfree was still acting coquettishly, with no intention of letting go.

However, the mosquito-repellent frog spoke up, "Yobo Yobo, Yobo Yobo, you're going too far, Little Green..."

"Huh? Humph," Butterfree hid its head in Ukai's arms and secretly made faces at the Poliwag. The other party still had the nerve to say that it was being too much. You guys were traveling with Ukai and you left it to take care of the little guy in the gym. It's almost annoyed to death.

"Yobo, Yobo," the mosquito-repellent frog also wanted to be touched by Yu Hai, but unfortunately it had grown up and became a proud frog, so it would not act coquettishly in public.

"Haha, stop arguing, you are all great. Butterfree is also very busy taking care of his younger brothers and sisters at home," Yu Hai smiled and left the Pokémon Center. Butterfree did not take back the Poké Ball.

After all, we haven't seen each other for two months. It's okay to let Butterfree come out to relax, and it can also make up to Butterfree.

Butterfree is now at level 42, and is considered a good player among the senior levels. He had underestimated Butterfree. It was somewhat unexpected that it could grow to this level even when left alone!
【Bad Butterfly】

[Attribute: Insect + Flying]

[Gender: Female]

[Potential: 69.97%]

[Level: 42.56%]

[Features: Compound Eyes/36.21%] [Hidden Features: Colored Glasses/23.21%]

[Master the moves...]

Ever since Battisti was relegated to the back burner, he hasn't seen Battisti's panel for more than four months.

Butterfree's potential remains the same, but the biggest change is his level. He actually reached the senior level without even realizing it.

Letting the veteran Butterfree play in the group stage is simply bullying the baby. He still underestimated these little guys he conquered early on. Each of them has great potential and their growth should not be underestimated.

With the veteran-level Butterfree, plus the compound eyes feature that increases hit rate, and the tinted glasses feature that increases damage, he is more confident of facing the group stage.

Not only has Butterfree's level gone up, but its frequently used compound eyes feature has also been proficiently used at a very high level, indicating that Butterfree's hit rate is very high.

There are also new moves. I haven't seen Butterfree's panel for a long time, and it turns out that it has quite a few new moves. I wonder where Butterfree learned these moves.

Ukai didn't know yet that during the time Butterfree was in the Xiagan Gym, it fought many times with other Pokémon when there were conflicts with the Pokémon in the gym, and sometimes it would often be the first to rush to the front line to protect other friends.

So Ukai saw Butterfree's new moves, which were quite rich!
The insect-related ones include insect chirping and butterfly dancing.

The flying types include Tail Wind, Air Blade, Storm, and Feather Roost.

Grass-types have Ultimate Absorption.

The general ones include blow away, hold, charm, and shadow clone.

There is also the spiritual power of the supernatural power system.

It was indeed the right decision to let Butterfree train its telekinesis. If telekinesis was just the entry level, then strong mental telekinesis meant that this Butterfree had very strong telekinesis.

If you have too little telekinesis, you won't be able to use the move "Psychic Power" at all. The move "Psychic Power" can be seen as a psychic-type ultimate move, together with the flying-type ultimate move "Storm", and the insect-type ultimate move "Insect Chirp".

It’s incredible. With this Butterfree, he is confident that he can make it through the group stage.

After closing Butterfree's panel, he listened quietly to Butterfree's chattering and talking about their life in the gym. Although he didn't understand, he listened carefully.

"Mmmm, mmm," Butterfree pointed at the marshmallow with its little paws. It had already smelled the fragrance and was almost dying of greed.

“Okay, okay, I’ll buy it for you,” Yu Hai really couldn’t do anything about Batachi. If he didn’t buy it for her, she would definitely act like a spoiled child again. So he could only buy three marshmallows.

After all, whoever sees it gets a share. If Butterfree has it, then Fluttershy and Eevee must also have one. He can't be partial. It doesn't matter if other Pokémon don't see it, but since he has seen it, they must all have it.

Afterwards, he took Batidea to buy a lot of things and took Batidea and the others to stroll around the busy commercial street as the competition was about to begin.

Even though Butterfree had a lot to say, he could only wait until the game was over. He also fed Butterfree energy cubes, because because of the sudden teleportation, Butterfree didn't even have lunch.

When he arrived at the ice arena, the broadcast notified him to enter. He immediately used the Poké Ball to retrieve Frog and Butterfree and entered through the player channel with Eevee.

Seeing Ukai bringing Ibrahimovic to the opposite platform, the audience who watched Ukai's match yesterday gave sparse cheers. After all, Ukai's match was very entertaining and also focused on tactics and strategies.

The other contestants were either bullying the weaker players, with no pressure at all, or the evenly matched contestants were just fighting each other, which was totally boring and they were all a little fed up with it.

It’s different now. Maybe this will be an exciting game and they are a little looking forward to it.

"Brother Hai, we meet again..." Xiao Shun silently repeated this sentence in his heart. He did not say it out loud. His relationship with Yu Hai could not be discussed openly.

Even Koji's bodyguards didn't know about their affairs, and he was even less likely to tell anyone about it. Instead, he listened to the host's speech silently. "The green contestant in this match is Yu Hai from the Orange Islands, and the red contestant against him is Xiao Shun from the Orange Islands' Dugan Gym..."

"Today's two contestants are both from the Orange Islands. This is a match between fellow countrymen. Please look forward to it..."

"There are only three Pokémons in use. The eighth game of the Ice Arena has officially begun. Please send out your Pokémons for the first battle..."

"Go, Lotus Hat Boy..."

"Go ahead, Butterfree..."

"Both players sent out their first-match Pokémons. Xiaoshun's Pokémon is Lotus Hat Kid, and Ukai's Pokémon is Butterfree. Judging from their attributes, the first match is very disadvantageous to Xiaoshun!"

"Sure enough, my predictions in front of Brother Hai are still too naive," Xiao Shun smiled helplessly. He has five Grass-type Pokémon, and Yu Hai also has many Water-type Pokémon that are restrained by Grass-type Pokémon. He plans to send out a random Grass-type Pokémon as the first battle Pokémon.

Considering that the opponent also had Tyrannosaurus, he used Lotus Hat Kid to test the opponent. He didn't expect that the opponent would send out Butterfree. What a miscalculation!

"Bardaeye, use the hypnotic powder..."

As the referee's flag fell, the game began.

"Mmmmm," when Butterfree heard the hypnotic powder, it immediately flapped its wings, blowing a breeze mixed with hypnotic powder towards the lotus leaf boy on the other side of the venue.

"Little boy in lotus hat, pray for rain..."

Faced with a large ball of hypnotic powder that almost filled the entire battlefield, the boy in the lotus hat had no way to avoid it. Xiao Shun could only use rain to clear the hypnotic powder, even if he was hypnotized.

tick, tick-

As the boy in the lotus hat danced and clapped his hands to summon dark clouds and rain, the raindrops hit the powder in the air and fell to the ground, carrying the powder with them.

However, the powder has hypnotized the Lotus Hat Child, so it doesn't matter if it is cleaned away by raindrops.

"Little boy in lotus hat, talking in his sleep..."

Talk in your sleep. Perform any move from the moves you have learned. This can only be used when you are sleeping.

It turned out that the other party was waiting here. Even if he was hypnotized, he just had to use his sleep talking to last a few rounds and wake up from his sleep.

But the other party thinks too simply, it’s raining now!
Ukai couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and shouted to Batachi: "Storm..."

"Eeyeeeeee," Butterfree faced the Lotus Hat Boy, and before the boy could use the random moves of Talking in His Sleep, it flapped its wings quickly, creating a strong storm to attack the opponent, blowing him away directly.

boom--

The boy in the lotus hat was interrupted before he could perform his dream talk. He was blown against the wall by the storm and couldn't get down. Wounds from the wind blades appeared on his body.

Not until the storm stopped did the boy in the lotus hat slide down from the wall. His body was covered with wounds, his eyes had turned into mosquito-repellent eyes, and he fainted.

"The little boy in the lotus hat has lost his ability to fight. Please ask Xiaoshun to take back his elf..."

"It's gone in one storm. Brother Hai's Butterfree is so strong," Xiaoshun was secretly surprised and used the Poké Ball to retrieve the Lotus Hat Kid.

His Lotus Hat Kid was only at the elite level, how could he possibly stop the veteran Butterfree, not to mention the flying type ultimate move that doubles the resistance, Storm...

Under double restraint, the veteran Butterfree can kill the elite Lotus Hat Kid in one move.

"Go, Pidgeot," Xiaoshun learned his lesson this time and planned to use the Flying-type Pidgeot to fight against Butterfree. The Flying-type can at least restrain Butterfree, unlike Lotus Hat Kid who is so passive.

As for why he didn't change his elf the first time, it was because it didn't matter whether he changed or not when facing Yu Hai. Others could change their elves as well. Whoever changed their elf first would be passive, the same passive as now.

"Xiao Shun attacks first," the referee waved a small red flag. Since Ukai won the previous match, the loser got the chance to attack first, which balanced the disadvantage in the arena, but not much...

After taking the initiative, Xiao Shun immediately shouted to Bibi Bird: "Bibi Bird, move at high speed, Swallow Return..."

"Beep, beep," Pidgeot accelerated towards Butterfree, but what was waiting for Pidgeot was...

Hua Hua Hua, Hua Hua Hua——

Butterfree used Storm again. It was still raining and the drizzle was almost stopping. Ukai took advantage of the rainy weather and let Butterfree use Storm again.

A strong storm blew towards the Pidgeot. Before the Pidgeot could rush over, it flew backwards and was suppressed by the storm and stuck tightly to the wall. Its wings seemed to be stuck with glue and it couldn't get up.

After the storm stopped, a large amount of powder appeared next to Pidgeot. Pidgeot was still gasping for breath on the ground. When Pidgeot noticed the powder, cold sweat broke out on its body. But it was too late. Pidgeot had been hit and fell into a deep sleep.

"The power grid..."

"Eeyee," Butterfree opened its mouth and spun out a web of silk, which it quickly electrified and swung out, turning into a large net that covered the Pidgeot. While trapping the Pidgeot on the ground, the crackling electric shocks woke the Pidgeot up.

Then, the second and third electric nets fell, directly shocking Pidgeot...

Facing the veteran Butterfree, the elite Pidgeot was still a little inferior after all. Just like Lotus Hat Kid, it was suppressed by Butterfree's storm throughout the whole process and had no ability to fight back.

"Pidgeot," Xiao Shun saw that Pidgeot had lost its ability to fight and could only use the Poké Ball to take Pidgeot back.

Now he finally realized how big the gap was between himself and Brother Hai. This Butterfree was not even Brother Hai's main force, but it could kill two Pokémon in a row, so it was at least a senior-level Pokémon.

His current strength is far from enough, the elves must evolve. Only by evolution can they become stronger, but so many elves need evolution stones. He can only return to the Orange Islands and find Brother Luoyan to find a way to obtain advanced evolution stones.

There are four Grass-type Pokémon, three of which need Leaf Stones, and the Lotus Hat Boy needs Water Stone. He must find a way to make money. He has learned about the price of high-level Evolution Stones, and there is no demand for them.

So he could only ask Brother Luoyan for help. He didn’t plan to ask Brother Hai. Brother Hai had helped him so much, so much…

Even his strongest elf was given to him by Brother Hai. The most precious thing was the king-level dragon scale. He always kept it in his heart and never forgot Brother Hai's life-saving grace.

Well, he only had one Pokémon left. He took out the Poké Ball and threw out his trump card, shouting, "It's you, Gyarados..."

"Oh my god, Xiaoshun's third Pokémon is a Gyarados, the same Gyarados as Koji's. Facing Ukai, who once again defeated two Pokémon with only one Pokémon, can Xiaoshun's Gyarados turn the tables? Please wait and see..."
