Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

However, I won't personally interfere in conflicts between the younger generations, so you can rest assured."

How could Lu Ming and the others feel at ease when this woman brought her own daughter to seek trouble? So they looked at each other and said:

"Then I wonder how we should proceed according to what this senior wants us to do."

"Simple, since my daughter is dissatisfied with your brother's last act of picking up the loose ends, let them compete again.

If you win, not only will his previous robbery of the "Water Stone" be forgiven, but you will also get this seagull.

And if he loses, then...what do you want him to do?"

Seeing the woman looking at her, the girl puffed out her chest and said:

"Then let him serve me for three years, and he must not refuse any of my requests during this period."

"........."

Chapter 175 Mouse Tail Juice

"Senior, this kind of bet involves personal freedom, I'm afraid it's against the rules."

"Rules are made by the strong. You two are both young and promising people. How could you not understand this principle?

But don't worry, what I said before still counts. This time, it's a one-on-one duel between him and my daughter, and I will definitely not interfere."

Lu Ming cursed in his heart, as the daughter of a "gym leader" trainer, you must have such wealth, how could an ordinary person compare to you.

Besides, even if Lu Hui really won in the end, it was still unclear whether she would intervene. Anyway, both of them were in her hands.

Seeing that Lu Hui and the other man were slow to respond, the girl began to urge them anxiously, with a threatening tone in her words.

"Teacher, how about I compete with them?" Si Yu said at this time.

"Oh~, Xiaoyu, you are a good kid in every way, except that you are a little too naive.

Putting aside the fact that this is your sister Xiaoyue's own karma, you also have an important battle coming up, so how can you waste your energy here so easily?"

Si Yu was about to plead for mercy, even going so far as to say that Lu Ming was an old acquaintance of his, when he heard the Gyarados under his seat suddenly roar as if to remind him.

The woman narrowed her eyes, then glanced past Lu Ming and the other man and looked directly towards the direction of Nibi City behind them.

Not long after, a huge Pokémon that was even bigger than Gyarados flew over. It was actually a Steelix whose aura also reached the "Gym Master Level".

This giant steel snake was covered in golden arcs of electricity, and it was apparently flying in the air by performing "electromagnetic levitation".

When the giant steel snake approached, Lu Ming discovered that there was a little old man sitting on its big metal head. It was Wu Tong who had asked him to participate in the competition before.

Wu Tong's expression was normal at first, but when he saw Lu Ming was also here, he suddenly became very angry and said to the woman:

"Yaoqin, Yaoqin, I really misjudged you. I have already agreed to a bet between civilian disciples, but you actually resorted to such despicable means.

If I hadn't happened to see the timing right and specially left the city to meet you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had to come to this fight."

The woman called Yaoqin was obviously confused by what she said and said puzzledly:

"What nonsense are you talking about, you old ghost? The bet between you and me is held every year.

I have always fought in an open and honest manner, and never used any dishonorable means.

And this time, the battle between the civilian disciples was also agreed to by you."

"Stop playing dumb with me. If you didn't know that Lu Ming had become my student and was going to fight for me, why would you bother to embarrass a junior like that?"

Hearing this, the woman showed a helpless expression and pointed at Lu Ming and said:

"You said this boy is your new student, and he will fight for you."

"Stop pretending! If you hadn't received the news in advance, why would you come all the way here to rob and kill my students?"

"To be honest, this is all a misunderstanding. The kid next to him had offended my daughter earlier. I just happened to run into them and wanted to scare them. I have no intention of killing them at all."

Wu Tong glanced at Lu Ming and the other two, and seeing that they looked normal, he guessed what had happened, but he still insisted:

"Seeing is believing. I saw it clearly today, yet you're still trying to bluff me with this kind of talk. Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

As he spoke, Wu Tong patted the giant steel snake under him. The latter understood and let out a roar, as if it was about to attack at the next moment.

Seeing this, the woman named Yaoqin sighed helplessly, then threw a brocade box to Lu Ming, then looked at Wu Tong and said:

"Whether what I just said is true or not, you can find out clearly if you go back and ask your student.

As for the brocade box given to him, it contained a "mysterious water drop" of intermediate quality.

Even if an ordinary person has millions of dollars, it would be difficult to buy it, so this should be used as a consolation."

Lu Ming opened the brocade box and found that there was indeed a teardrop-like pendant inside, emitting a pure blue light.

This item was none other than the "Mysterious Water Drop". He had seen it in a display case at the Nibi Auction House, where one piece cost hundreds of thousands.

And those are just primary props, and their quality is much worse than this one.

If you want to buy such a mid-level "Mysterious Drop" at the Nibi Auction House, you have to make a reservation in advance.

However, Lu Ming doesn’t have a water-attribute elf yet, so he has to put it away and wait to see if he will have the chance to use it in the future.

Seeing this, Wu Tong was still not satisfied and continued, "Humph, you just wanted to kill my student. Do you think you can just end this with a 'mysterious water drop'? That's wishful thinking."

"enough!"

Yaoqin said angrily, "I've already made it clear. You can go and ask him yourself about the right and wrong. If you continue to make trouble, my Gyarados won't be able to exercise its shins properly for a long time."

"Roar~~"

After saying that, Gyarados let out a loud dragon roar. Although it did not have the true dragon attributes, the power in it was much stronger than that of the Desert Dragonfly at this stage.

Seeing that it was impossible to get any more benefits, Wu Tong waved his hand and said:

"Well, okay, okay, since you have admitted your mistake to my student, I will forgive the little mistakes and let today's matter go.

But I still want to advise you, from now on, you should learn from your mistakes. Trainers should respect the ethics of martial arts and stop being so clever!

The next moment, seeing that Yaoqin seemed to be about to take action, Wu Tong hurriedly called Lu Ming and the others and said:

"What are you still standing there for? The challenger has arrived. Why don't we go back and practice?"

After the three of them walked away, Yaoqin gritted her teeth and said, "Si Yu, you must not lose to that brat in tomorrow's battle, understand?"

Si Yu was helpless, but answered firmly: "Yes~, the student will definitely do his best."

Perhaps still feeling uneasy, Yaoqin actually reached down to the Gyarados below and took off a water-drop-shaped chain from its head, saying:

"That kid doesn't look simple, and the old man won't let someone he's not sure of play.

So, give this item to Milotic first, and return it to me later."

Unexpectedly, the Gyarados below let out a dissatisfied whine, as if it was very dependent on this item.

But Yaoqin said unhappily, "Okay, Si Yu just borrowed it for a day, I'll return it to you soon.

I have so many elves, but you are the only one who has been enjoying the only high-level "Mysterious Drop" item from beginning to end."

Gyarados is mostly a very bad-tempered Pokémon, but it still calmed down after being scolded by Yaoqin.

Gyarados is already a "gym leader level" existence, but without the blessing of the high-level "mysterious water drop", its momentum has visibly decreased.

This is enough to show how great the advantage of wearing a high-level item of this series is, and it also represents the trainer's determination to win.

Chapter 176: Battle of Old Friends

The next day,

Lu Ming was brought to the competition venue by Wu Tong, his temporary teacher.

This competition was not held in the Nibi Gym, but was instead held in a high-end private venue in Nibi City.

This is a venue that is a mixture of rocks and pools, somewhat similar to the structure of water surrounding a mountain, which can be said to take care of the elves on both sides at the same time.

When he arrived, he found that Si Yu had already been brought here by his teacher, and many spectators had come over after hearing the noise. They were probably all acquaintances of the two.

Among them were Lu Hui and the girl called Xiaoyue from yesterday.

The latter glanced at Lu Hui angrily, his eyes moving, and it seemed as if he had come up with some bad idea again.

But now he is in Nibi City after all, and Lu Hui still has an official identity, so he is not afraid of her.

Si Yu cast an apologetic look cautiously, and Lu Ming also nodded slightly. The two of them quickly completed a "eye contact" among the group of strong men.

"Okay, we have been waiting for a long time, let's start the game quickly." Yaoqin said to Si Yu:

"Xiao Yu, this competition is very important to me. Remember not to slack off at this critical moment."

Perhaps it was because women's intuition was too sensitive. Yaoqin vaguely noticed that her female student seemed to have a relationship with Lu Ming, so she specially reminded him before going on stage.

"Teacher, don't worry. I appreciate your kindness and I will do my best on the field.

"Alright, go ahead. This is the first time you've publicly demonstrated your abilities since becoming my student. Show them what you've got."

Seeing Si Yu's resounding answer, Yao Qin nodded with satisfaction, then patted her favorite disciple on the shoulder, signaling her to go on the court.

Lu Ming and Si Yu each stood still, but were interrupted before releasing the elves.

"Wait a minute, since this is a gambling fight, can we add some more bets?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the speaker was Xiaoyue, the daughter brought by Yaoqin.

"Oh~, interesting. I wonder what kind of bet my niece Xiaoyue wants to set." Wu Tong said with interest.

"I recently got a piece of 'wet rock' for my Frog King, which is perfect for its 'rainfall' properties.

What a coincidence! Didn't you just capture a large-billed gull with the "Rain" trait yesterday? It's just what I need. Do you dare to place a bet with me on the outcome of this match?

"What do you want then?"

"That mosquito-repellent swimmer."

"Impossible! It's my original partner. It can't be used as a bet."

"Alright~, then you can use the 'mysterious water drop' your brother got yesterday as your bet!"

Lu Hui was about to refuse, but when he saw his cousin Lu Ming nodded at him, he agreed.

"Okay~, I'll use my brother's 'mysterious water drop' as the bet."
