Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 541: The White Moonlight of Middle-Aged People
At the same time, the Liugan Gym mentioned by Professor Oak was also watching Xiaoshun's game, after all, he was the trainer of the gym.

After watching Xiao Shun's match, the two people who were watching the match were not discussing Xiao Shun, but Yu Hai...

"Ali, I remember you mentioned him. This boy wanted to join the Liugan Gym, but you rejected him. He then went to the Xiagan Gym owned by the old man..."

"Yes, this young man is quite capable and has a clean background. With a little training, he can become independent. But he was in the Orange Islands at the time, Team Rocket was ready to make a move, and the situation was unclear. I didn't dare to take him in..."

When Liuli said this, she felt a little regretful that she had rejected such a talented person and was instead accepted as a disciple by Xia Gan's gym.

"You are so confused. With the means that you and I have, we can't even control a child. What are you thinking?" Koji's grandfather stomped his crutch heavily. Facing the Rocket Team's eagerness to make a move, they should increase the gym's manpower instead of turning away talents.

"He was able to pass the alliance's political review and participate in the Quartz Conference. After this competition, does our gym want him?" Liuli felt it was a pity and had the idea of ​​poaching him.

Anyway, Koji is also there. So we can just let Koji contact the other party and invite him to join after the game. It’s quite simple.

"It's impossible. The old guy in Xia Gan Gym will definitely not let this kid go after seeing his performance. If we miss him, we'll miss him after all..."

Grandpa Haoji sighed and turned to Xiaoshun, "Xiaoshun is a good kid, but he just lacks a little time. He may be able to reach this point in the future, but he just lacks a little time..."

"I understand," Liuli nodded slightly. He was just a teenager. As long as her Liugan Gym opened its doors, she could have as many teenagers as she wanted. There was no need to keep worrying about this matter.

"For the child Xiaoshun, should we use a collateral or direct line for the marriage?" Liuli couldn't help but consider the issue of marriage when she saw that her father valued Xiaoshun so much.

"Xiao Shun has performed well in the gym, but his family background is still ordinary. If his future achievements are limited, we can use a collateral marriage. If his future achievements are good, we can choose a girl of the right age from the direct line and let them meet by chance..."

Although Grandpa Haoji is very optimistic about Xiaoshun, Xiaoshun is still too young after all. It will take time for Xiaoshun to grow up. Moreover, Xiaoshun's birthplace has been investigated on the spot, and it turns out that he comes from an ordinary family that cannot be more ordinary.

The worst choice for their family's direct descendants is to marry someone of equal social status. For a young man like Xiaoshun, being able to join the Liugan Gym is already the greatest honor. If he still wants to ask for a marriage with a direct descendant girl, it would be a bit too much.

In the final analysis, everything depends on Xiaoshun's performance. If he performs well, he can marry into a direct relative. If he performs averagely, he can marry into a collateral relative. If he performs poorly, he will just be an ordinary thug and there is no need to pay too much attention to him.

……

At Xia Gan Gym, the Ada family was having lunch and watching the Quartz Conference on TV, where Ukai's match was taking place.

"So strong, Brother Hai's Gyarados is so strong. I also have a Magikarp that Brother Hai gave me, but I don't know when it can evolve," Ada saw Ukai's Butterfree killing everyone and Gyarados suppressing the opponent's Gyarados.

If he wasn't still eating and his dad and grandpa were there, he would have shouted out excitedly. Unfortunately he couldn't, so he had to hold it in.

"Dad, judging by his smart performance, it should be easy for him to get into the top three!" When Dunmei's mother said this, she glanced at Dunmei out of the corner of her eye, wondering whether her daughter liked their arranged marriage.

She had heard from her husband about the old man's marriage arrangements for Atsumi and the future plans for the dojo.

To be honest, she was very disgusted with the idea of ​​arranged marriages, but without a capable son-in-law, her husband's dojo would not be able to continue operating.

As the daughter-in-law of Xia Gan Dojo, although she is an outsider who seldom goes home often, she still has to consider issues for the dojo.

If Dunmei's marriage is not sacrificed, then her husband will have to stay in Xiagan Gym and officially become the gym owner, taking care of the gym that the old man has been worrying about all his life. After wasting half of their lives, it is time for them to settle down and live a quiet life.

Her husband told her that either they stayed to manage the dojo, or Dunmei would recruit a son-in-law to manage the dojo.

Since the last time he talked to Grandpa Dunmei, the middle-aged man often sat alone in a daze, thinking about this matter...

When he was young, he would choose himself without hesitation between his father and himself.

But no matter how much he didn't want to admit it, his dad was old and didn't have much time left, so he had to either close the gym, give it to Dunmei, or run it himself.

He also has to make a choice again between himself and his beloved daughter: to sacrifice his daughter's happiness in exchange for his own freedom, or to sacrifice his own freedom in exchange for his daughter's happiness.

He evaded his responsibilities all his life, and even his baby daughter was left behind for many years. This was his dereliction of duty as a father, and he felt that he was not worthy of the title of father.

Now he has to sacrifice his daughter's happiness in exchange for his own freedom. After asking himself countless times, he still can't say it out loud.

So, he decided that he would not run away anymore and he did not want to sacrifice his daughter's happiness.

Faced with his daughter and himself, he finally compromised with freedom and chose to stay and inherit the dojo so that the old man could have a good rest.

The old man's strict education did not make him compromise, nor did the busy life outside make him compromise. It was the debt to his beloved daughter that finally made this middle-aged man compromise.

From the moment he chose to stay, the marriage no longer existed, and after he stayed to inherit the dojo, the old man would not force his daughter to find a son-in-law. He would protect his daughter and strive for the greatest autonomy.

Of course, this also includes Ada. He will personally teach Ada how to become an excellent trainer.

Back then, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, under the strict education of his grandfather, he already had a team of six king-level elves.

Back then, he defeated all the opponents in the Orange Islands Competition and was invincible throughout the entire Orange Islands. I don’t know what those opponents were doing, whether their strength improved, or whether they gained weight. Anyway, he gained weight and his forehead became bald.

I don’t know if the beautiful Liuli back then is still as charming as she was back then. I guess she is a mother now!
When he thought of the pretty red-haired girl who had become a mother now, his fingers holding the chopsticks couldn't help but tremble. He was a little afraid to contact her. After all, he had liked her back then. He really hoped that she would always be as beautiful as in his memory.

What a pity, it's all in the past, time is unforgiving, and time makes people grow old...

He also changed from a young man to a fat middle-aged man, alas!

You can’t tell, Liuli is still Dunmei’s father’s white moonlight, but it’s a pity that the child is already ten years old.

And there is the current Orange Islands chief trainer, Yuji.

He remembered it very clearly. The little guy Yongci always clamored to be the guardian of the Orange Islands. He was robbed several times with a mini dragon, and he always followed behind and called them the boss.

This little guy is very powerful now. I heard that he is the chief trainer of the Orange Islands and also the strongest trainer.

He didn't have the title of top trainer back then, but now with the help of a Dragonite, this guy has been invincible in the entire Orange Islands. He has finally made it!

It has been many years since I last went home. Why are my peers so low-key? Or have they not made any progress over the years? It is time to meet these old friends and announce my return.

After winning the championship that year, he left without even taking the trophy. It’s such a distant memory. Anyway, my dad was almost mad at me. I don’t know what their expressions were back then.

After so many years, he has become indifferent to everything. Now all he has left is life. All the high spirits and championships are a thing of the past...

"It doesn't matter what place he gets. The gym is short of someone to do the work. I will test and teach him personally when he comes back," Dunmei's father looked at Dunmei from time to time while eating. He will also intensify Dunmei's training in the future.

As his daughter, Dunmei cannot be too bad. If she is, she will be laughed at by her old rivals.

Perhaps it is also related to the old man's high-pressure education. Ever since he handed over this rebellious son, the old man has been letting his two children and grandchildren go. As a result, Dunmei is already fifteen years old, and only his Blastoise is still good-looking, but it is still a rookie.

He has been preparing training plans for his daughter Dunmei and son Ada. It is impossible for them to use the strict education that the old man used to have. He does not ask his daughters to achieve much. As long as they live happily in the process of improving their strength, that's enough. In the next period of time, he will do his best as a father to make up for the father that his daughters missed in their childhood. He wants to be a less bad father.

However, when she heard that her father was going to test Yu Hai, Atsumi poked her rice with her chopsticks, her mind not on eating at all. She had also heard some rumors recently, and her parents always looked at her strangely.

This made her more certain of her guess that her grandfather and her parents wanted to use her to form an alliance in order to stabilize the Xia Gan Gym.

After knowing the news, she no longer wanted to take revenge on Yu Hai, but was thinking about how to escape from Xia Gan Gym. She was definitely not willing to marry a stranger she had never met before.

She is a woman living in the new era, how could she be poisoned by such feudal ideas? She wants to be independent, to be autonomous, to escape...

Only Ada, the fool, didn't understand the situation at the table and kept shouting "Brother Hai is awesome, Brother Hai is awesome..."

No one paid any attention to him, which made him feel a little confused. He had no idea what these people were thinking about when they didn't eat or watch TV...

……

Quartz Sports Arena, Branch Venue…

After the game, Yu Hai left the venue through the player channel, but as soon as he left, Xiao Shun followed him, panting.

"Brother Hai, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble," Xiao Shun said as soon as he came up, panting and bending down to apologize.

"It's okay, Xiaoshun." Yu Hai didn't care about this matter. He smiled and reminded again: "When you have the strength to subdue Gyarados, you can be considered to have truly subdued Gyarados."

"Work hard, young man. It's very hard to keep up with me..."

"I will try my best, Brother Hai," Xiao Shun tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes. No stranger had ever cared about him so much before. Even in the Liugan Gym, he had never received such care.

“Haha, why are you crying?” Yu Hai hugged Xiao Shun’s head, pressed Xiao Shun’s head against his chest and whispered: “Xiao Shun, remember, the knife is in your hand. Some people can die, but some elves don’t need to. I hope you can stick to your original intention…”

"I've always kept it in my heart, Brother Hai," Xiao Shun heard these words. When he came to his senses, Yu Hai had already waved goodbye, leaving only his back gradually walking away.

Seeing Brother Hai leaving, Xiao Shun stopped crying. He did lose the game, but he was not sad at all. Nothing made him happier than to be recognized by his respected brother.

Although they didn't spend much time together, Brother Hai was the man who changed his life and the man he would look up to throughout his life.

……

Don’t be fooled by Yu Hai’s handsome turn, he is actually wiping his nose. It’s not his snot, but Xiao Shun’s snot on his hands.

Everyone knows that feeling, sticky and wet. There's nothing you can do if you don't understand it, it's just disgusting anyway.

And he couldn't keep the clothes he was wearing anymore. He had to go back to the athletes' village and wash them. He would feel a little uncomfortable if he didn't wash them clean. That was the snot of a little kid!

After all, Xiaoshun and other trainers are still children after all. He himself has already laid down, so what can he ask of a group of children...

When he arrived at the single room in the athletes' village, Xiao Ming was just about to go out. He said hello to him and left.

No one knows what Xiao Ming is doing. He has been acting mysterious these days. If Yu Hai knew that Xiao Ming was acting as an intelligence dealer, or a second-hand intelligence dealer, during the competition, he could sell one piece of information several times for money.

He couldn't help but sigh that this guy was really making money all the time to earn resources for breeding elves. It took a lot of perseverance for him to get to this point.

After returning to the room, he went to take a shower first, then washed clothes, let Toxopus and the others have lunch, then picked up Gyarados's Poké Ball and opened Gyarados's proficiency panel.

【Gyarados】

[Attribute: Water + Flying]

[Gender: Male]

[Potential: 79.99%]

[Level: 42.74%]

[Characteristics: Intimidation/35.13%] [Hidden Characteristics: Overconfidence/34.23%]

[Master the moves...]

I haven't looked at Gyarados's panel for more than 20 days. Gyarados's level has increased by two levels. This level is similar to Butterfree, but its ability to withstand attacks is stronger than that of Butterfree, which is a fragile skin.

A Gyarados at this level can fight against ordinary senior Pokémon, and can even hold its own against senior Pokémon over level 50. It will be at a disadvantage against quasi-king Pokémon.

When fighting against Wu Neng's Onix, he realized that his Gyarados had no advantage in a head-on fight. If Onix's tempering was not incomplete, the outcome would be hard to say.

After all, there is still some time left. If Gyarados can be brought to level 50, the quasi-king Pokémon will also be able to have a chance.

Fortunately, in baby competitions like the Quartz Conference, quasi-king elves are rare. He feels that the only players who possess quasi-king elves are probably Xiao Qian and Lei Si, and he is one of them.

There are also the favorites to win the championship according to Xiao Ming's intelligence, and the veterans from the previous session. These trainers only have one or two quasi-eleventh-level Pokémon at most, which is not too exaggerated. He can still play with this group of people.

If it is a team of six quasi-king elves, he is not unable to defeat them, but he must go all out to have a chance.

Fortunately, the gap between the quasi-king and the senior level is not as big as the gap between the king and the quasi-king. If you meet them, there is no way to fight them. You can just run away. You can't do anything at all.

He has tried his mosquito-repellent frog, and it just doesn't work. Don't be stubborn. Just give in when it's time to give in.

When Gengar wakes up, he also has a king-level Pokémon, so there is nothing to be afraid of...

Aside from the level change, Gyarados's characteristics have only increased by a few points, so there's not much to see.

The moves are still the same, only the proficiency has increased a little bit, not a lot, and there are no new moves.

He closed the panel of Gyarados and released Butterfree. The little guy was feeling suffocated and it would be good for him to come out and get some fresh air.

Let Butterfree wander around the room, looking around, touching everywhere...

He planned to take a nap, then go to the cafeteria for dinner and watch the game in the evening.

Now that we're here, even if we're just playing against each other, it can still help pass the time...
