Pokémon: Angler's Rainy Day Team

On the nineteenth day after returning to the Orange Islands, it was sunny.

When he got up this morning, Ukai was going to the Natsugana Gym. His preparation time was over, and today was the day to go to Citrus Island to participate in the competition.

After the Quartz Conference, the Orange Competition is finally about to start after three months of preparation.

Also going to Citrus Island are Atsumi's family of four. Grandpa Atsumi stays at the gym, and they will take a boat to Citrus Island together.

When he got up, packed his things, fed the elves for breakfast, and took back the elves, he stopped making breakfast at home and prepared to go to Xia Gan Gym for breakfast.

Luo Yan had already gone back and left a note on the table, telling him to drink at the party after he finished participating in the Orange Competition.

He packed his things, put on his backpack and got on the Big Mouth Gull, and headed to Xia Gan Gym.

Not long after, he arrived at the Xia Gan Gym. From the air, he saw several small dots below the gym. Those small dots were pedestrians. He landed at the door of the Xia Gan Gym and saw the people coming.

A red and white peaked cap, a blue jacket, and jeans. Isn't this a silly boy? There is also Xiaoxia, a ball-headed boy with orange hair, and Xiaojian, an observer in a green T-shirt.

"Xiao Zhi? Why are you here?" Yuhai landed at the door and saw Xiao Zhi and the other three people looking into the gym.

Since today is the day to set off, the gym does not plan to open its doors. We will set off after breakfast, which is around ten o'clock. Xiaozhi's arrival is really not the right time.

"Brother Hai? Aren't you going to participate in the competition? Why are you still here?" Xiaozhi saw Yu Hai and walked over excitedly.

"I will go to Citrus Island today to participate in the competition. Do you want to come with me? Have you eaten?" Yuhai opened the gyms and invited Xiaozhi and three people to enter the gym and have breakfast together.

"We also want to go, but I haven't gotten the Sakura Badge yet. I came here today to challenge the Sakura Badge," Xiaozhi scratched his head awkwardly, his stomach was already growling. They came here early in the morning and didn't even have time to eat breakfast.

"Come in, let's have breakfast together," Yuhai invited the three of them into the gym and asked with a smile: "Don't there be qualifiers for the competition? I don't have a badge. I will participate in the qualifiers then, how about we come together..."

"That's right," Xiaozhi thought for a while, and he did hear this rule. Trainers without badges can participate in the preliminaries, and if they pass, they can participate in the subsequent group matches.

"You're stupid, Xiaozhi. You've come here, you must get the badge," Xiaoxia followed and reminded Xiaozhi of the benefits of having a badge: "You don't need to participate in the qualifiers if you have a badge, even if you want to participate, it's fine. , it doesn’t matter if you lose, you can also use the badge to participate in the group stage..."

"As long as you get the badge, even if you don't pass the preliminaries, you can still use the badge to compete. It's equivalent to one more chance." Xiao Jian also reminded Xiao Zhi that he was here anyway, so getting the badge was more important.

"That's right, you still have to get the badge," Xiaozhi was reminded, and his wavering thoughts became firmer. Whether he can get the badge or not, he has to give it a try.

"Xiao Zhi, this qualifier is not easy. You have to win four two-on-two elf battles. There are eight games in total. The requirements for the contestants are not small. Those who can pass the qualifiers have to train hard. Home……"

Hearing Xiaojian's words again, Xiaozhi instantly felt motivated to fight. He raised his hand and clenched his fist and said, "That's it. I want the badge, and I also want to compete in the qualifiers..."

"It's still early, we'll talk about it then, let's have breakfast first," Ukai led the three of them to the restaurant, where Atsumi's family happened to be.

"The gym owner, his name is Xiaozhi, is Dr. Oak's neighbor, and wants to challenge Xia Gan Gym. She is Xiaoxia, the gym leader of Hualan Gym, and he is Xiao Jian, an elf observer..."

"Ash?" Atsumi's father didn't know Xiaozhi, but he knew the famous Dr. Ohki. This child should be Dr. Ohki's neighbor. His status should be unusual. Otherwise, Yukai wouldn't remind him deliberately. He asked quickly: "Child, you haven't had breakfast yet, come over and eat together..."

"Uncle, please excuse me," Xiaozhi touched his growling stomach and sat down next to Ada without any politeness.

"Why is it you again? You still want the Sakura Badge, you have to beat me," Ada couldn't help but pout when she saw Xiaozhi coming to sit down, not wanting to see Xiaozhi.

"If I win, I will beat you. Whoever is afraid of whom," Xiaozhi is not scared. He will only get excited when facing an elf battle, but he will not flinch. He will become more and more courageous the more he is frustrated.

"Xiaoxia, sit here," Atsumi glanced at Ukai. When she saw Ukai smiling at her, she turned to look at Xiaoxia, beckoning Xiaoxia to come over, not wanting to talk to Ukai.

Yuhai smiled helplessly. After being together for so long, how could he not understand that little look in his eyes? It was telling him to be honest and never reveal his secrets.

He could only invite Xiao Jian to sit next to him and eat a light breakfast of steamed buns, millet porridge, and some vegetables on the table.

Four more people joined us for breakfast, making it eight people. Grandpa Atsumi was not here, and everyone was eating breakfast noisily...

Ada and Xiaozhi were arguing about the elf battle, Atsumi and Xiaoxia were discussing what clothes looked good, and Ukai also saw Xiaojian's observation notes and a sketch of Atsumi.

When he saw this sketch, Yuhai looked at Xiaojian with a look that everyone understood. When Xiaojian saw this look, it was as if he had met a close friend. Finally, someone could understand him, and he was no longer alone.

During the previous trip, Xiaozhi was a stubborn person who only knew how to fight and didn't understand these things at all. Xiaoxia was a girl, so he had ideas in his mind and had nowhere to communicate. He was really depressed.

Then Yu Hai and the others discussed the sketch portrait in a low voice. Yu Hai also saw many people he had seen before, and the most eye-catching one was Kona in the album.

After a noisy lunch, everyone came to the battle site of the gym. Since the ship at ten o'clock was still early, it was only after eight o'clock, and there was plenty of time to take a bus to the port. Atsumi's father simply fulfilled Xiaozhi's wish and held the last gym battle in the gym.

"I will be the referee for this gym battle. Please prepare the two trainers for a two-on-two Pokémon battle," Atsumi stood in the middle of the battle site and acted as the referee.

"Eh? Pokémon battles, isn't it water gun shooting?" Xiaozhi scratched his head. He didn't expect that the rules of the gym battle had changed, and the trainer was not Brother Hai.

"In order to cope with the competition, the rules of the gym battle have also been changed to be suitable for the battle. You guys release the Pokémon quickly. After the battle, we have to go to the boat..."

"Oh, okay," Xiaozhi smiled and shook his head, and quickly took out the Poké Ball and looked at Ada. The moment their eyes met, they threw the Poké Ball together.

"Go, Blastoise..."

"Go, Snorlax..."

"Ha, ha, ha," Snorlax yawned as soon as he came out. It was obvious that he had just woken up. He stared at Xiaozhi who disturbed his sleep with a face full of resentment, and he hadn't prepared food yet.

"Snorlax, please, finish the game first, and then buy you delicious food," Xiaozhi also looked embarrassed and could only keep assuring Snorlax.

"Ha," Snorlax yawned and looked at Blastoise, and directly hooked his finger at Blastoise.

"The battle begins..."

"Damn it, I was underestimated, Blastoise, use water cannon," Ada raised his hand and pointed, intending to teach Xiaozhi a lesson.

Yu Hai saw the battle and leaned against the wall to watch the battle in boredom. It was just a fight between two weaklings. There was nothing to watch.

However, Xiaozhi finally captured Snorlax. This big eater ate too much. If he wanted, he would have captured it long ago, but there was no need.

After a while, the battle came to an end. Blastoise fought against Snorlax. Xiaozhi's Snorlax won. This Snorlax was very strong, but he was a little greedy and sleepy. Otherwise, Xiaozhi would not have captured it so easily.

Facing Xiaozhi's Snorlax, Ada sent out the Fighting-type Flying Leg as his second Pokémon. He wanted to use the Fighting attribute to restrain Snorlax, but he still lost to Snorlax. Snorlax's thick fat helped Snorlax block many punches and kicks, and Flying Leg could not cause any damage.

There is an old saying that meaty muscles are the hardest to fight, because they have too high resistance...

On the contrary, Flying Legs was directly eliminated by Snorlax with a move of Taishan, and Snorlax also fell asleep.

"Haha, I won, Snorlax is awesome," Xiaozhi won the gym battle in a row and got the Sakura Badge. He excitedly ran towards Snorlax and threw himself on Snorlax's belly.

But Snorlax had fallen asleep and had no time to respond to Xiaozhi's joy. In the end, the Poké Ball was taken back, and Xiaozhi also got the Sakura Badge thrown by Dunmei.

"Ada, it's time to go," Dunmei saw that Ada was still a little unconvinced, but everyone saw that losing is losing, so what can you do if you are unconvinced.

"Go to the tournament and win it back. This time, take it as a lesson, so that you won't underestimate the enemy again..."

"I know, sister," Ada looked at the happy Xiaozhi, snorted, turned her head, and walked towards the gym gate. The things they needed to prepare were already ready for loading, and they just needed to get in the car.

"Xiaozhi, do you want to go to the port with us?" Yu Hai was also ready to get in the car, but when he saw the look in Atsumi's father's eyes, he knew what to do, so he asked Xiaozhi and the other two who followed him.

"Okay," Xiaozhi agreed without thinking. They had already got the last Sakura badge, and the next step was to go to Citrus Island, and everyone happened to be going the same way.

"Xiaoxia, let's go," Atsumi took Xiaoxia's arm and pulled Xiaoxia into the car first, and Yu Hai, Xiaozhi, and Xiaojian also got in the car.

Including the driver, there were nine people in the car, including Dunmei, Ada, Dunmei's father, Dunmei's mother, Yu Hai, Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, Xiaojian...

Everyone was talking and laughing in the car all the way until they arrived at the port at about 9:30, when the boat was about to sail.

Yu Hai boarded the passenger ship with Dunmei's family of four. The tickets were bought last night. Xiaozhi and the other two who came today could not buy tickets to Citrus Island at all, because the competition was about to be held and the tickets were still very tight, so they could only wait for the next passenger ship.

"Xiaozhi, there are tickets for the next two flights. See you at Citrus Island," Yu Hai greeted Xiaozhi at the side of the ship. Although he was a little frustrated that they could not set off together, it was only more than an hour late.

"Okay, Brother Hai, see you at Citrus Island," Xiaozhi waved goodbye foolishly, feeling that this family was very nice. Not only did they treat them to breakfast, but they also sent them to the port. He was very grateful to this family.

"Brother Hai, why are you so nice to him?" Ada was puzzled. As his brother-in-law, he should help him, so why did he say goodbye to Xiaozhi?

"Haha, you will understand when you grow up," Yu Hai reached out and touched Ada's hair, and deliberately messed it up. He couldn't tell a child that this was the way of the world!

Ada's father was the same, and urged Ada: "There are many fun things on the ship, go play with your sister, and there are elf battles..."

Hearing this, the wife, who had been married for many years, knew what her husband wanted to do and what to do now. She reached out and took Ada's hand and walked away. After all, he was just a child. When he heard something fun, his attention was instantly diverted.

Although Dunmei guessed something, she didn't ask and followed her brother tactfully.

Only two people were left at the scene, Yu Hai and Atsumi's father, sitting under the parasol on the side of the boat, each ordered a glass of juice, and then Atsumi's father asked: "How do you know that kid?"

"Xiaozhi?" Yu Hai saw Atsumi's father nodded gently, and continued: "I met him at the Quartz Conference, and I stayed at his house..."

"Oh?" Atsumi's father obviously didn't expect that Yu Hai and Xiaozhi were so familiar with each other that they could stay at each other's house, and then asked: "How is his relationship with Professor Oak?"

"The relationship is very good. Xiaozhi just debuted a few months ago, and the initial elves were obtained at the Oak Research Institute. Professor Oak treats him as his own grandson..."

"Okay, I get it, you go and have fun too, relax well, the competition will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, try to get a good ranking," Atsumi's father heard his grandson's words and stopped asking.

Professor Oak is a big celebrity in the academic world. In addition to being a famous elf doctor, he is also a very strong trainer, which is the most important thing.

Yu Hai drank the juice and left to find Dun Mei and the other two. The three were watching others fight a Pokémon battle. As soon as he came over, Dun Mei asked what he had just said to his father.

What else could Yu Hai say about this? He could only say that the other party's father asked about Xiaozhi, which attracted Dun Mei's eye roll and she secretly pinched his arm.

"What are you doing?" Yu Hai quickly retracted his hand when his arm was pinched. He was telling the truth and he had a witness. Is this man sick? He doesn't believe the truth.

"Humph," Dun Mei didn't explain, snorted coldly, turned around and left with his mother and brother.

"Tsk," Yu Hai didn't follow him, but sat down on the second floor of the battle site, ordered another glass of juice, and watched the battle slowly.

This watch lasted until one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Dun Mei brought him lunch and the two had lunch together.

There was nowhere to go next, and the most important thing was that Dun Mei's parents were there, so he couldn't do anything else.

The two of them could only watch the game in silence, and occasionally review the results of the battle. Yu Hai had more experience in this area than Dunmei. After all, he basically remembered the characteristics of each Pokémon and what moves they could do.

If it was a formal game, he would definitely get intelligence in advance, but he could talk about it on the spot, which shows the value of experienced players.

However, after watching for several hours, both of them yawned, and they arrived at Citrus Island...
