Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

At this moment, the local king was severely injured and "frozen", almost becoming a lamb to be slaughtered.

However, before Milotic could breathe a sigh of relief, the "toxic" energy in its body erupted for the fourth time, directly reducing it to a low health level.

At the same time, the Earth King who was frozen in ice did nothing, but a layer of life light appeared on his body.

"Eh~, could this be the "black sludge"? This kid actually invested so much money for this duel." Wu Tong also showed a hint of surprise.

"Not good, end this battle quickly."

Without Yaoqin's reminder, Milotic had already used "Dragon Wave" again.

The green light instantly transformed into the shadow of a giant dragon, swallowing up the frozen Earth King and then stirring it into a surging energy vortex.

The ice layer in the energy vortex was instantly shattered, revealing the Earth King who was in extreme pain.

The latter had just been directly damaged by the "Freezing Ray" and was now swallowed by the "Dragon Wave". If it had not been for the "Black Sludge" that gave him a breath of fresh air, he might have collapsed.

But facing the surging vortex of dragon energy at this moment, the Earth King still felt that his physical strength was approaching the limit.

Especially under the influence of the "charming" energy, even the little eyeballs can't open.

The next moment, a surge of energy that was extremely poisonous to other elves surged into the Earth King again, but it was like "medicine" that healed its injuries.

After receiving energy replenishment from the "black sludge", the Earth King suddenly regained some clarity, forcibly broke free from the control of "Charm", and displayed "Self-Regeneration" at the last moment.

Suddenly, a stream of life energy rose from the green vortex, which made Yaoqin's face completely gloomy.

As expected, the next moment, Milotic, who seemed to still have the advantage on the field, fell completely after the fifth outbreak of "Poison".

On the contrary, the Earth King, who had just performed "self-regeneration", was still smiling foolishly at the audience with a silly look on his face.

"Haha~, even if I win this game, I'm really ashamed.

If you, Yaoqin, insist on using your own juniors to compete, our Nibi Gym will still have an attribute disadvantage and may not be able to win."

"Hmph, so noisy!"

Yaoqin didn't say anything, but just took out a separate space backpack and threw it to Wu Tong, as if it was a lost bet. Then she turned around and left without even looking at it.

His daughter Xiaoyue also glared at Lu Ming and Si Yu fiercely, and then threw the "wet rock" to him with a half-smile in Lu Hui's eyes.

"Sorry~, it seems I have caused you trouble!" Lu Ming said to Si Yu.

"It's nothing. Xiaoyue is already somewhat dissatisfied with me, and this time is no exception. I have tried my best and have a clear conscience.

I just didn't expect that after just three months, your strength has improved so much. It's incredible."

After Si Yu received focused training at the Hualan Gym, he became more aware of the difficulties faced by civilian trainers.

But Lu Ming seems to be an exception. Although he does not have a prominent family background, he has surpassed many talented trainers from aristocratic families.

"I~,"

Seeing Si Yu hesitate to speak, Lu Ming said, "Don't worry, you should first solve your problems, and we can talk later."

"Hmm~"

Si Yu was not sad about the failure, but just looked at Milotic with some heartache, took it back and said goodbye.

"Haha~, good boy, the old woman's disciple is even stronger than I expected, and you surprised me even more.

Not only did they improve the Earth King's strength so much in such a short period of time, but they also equipped him with a piece of high-quality "Black Sludge". I'm really confused."

"Senior Wu Tong, why are you making fun of me? It's because I value the things you have instructed me to do that I have never dared to neglect them.

The conditions you mentioned at that time really moved me and have stayed with me ever since."

"Alright, alright~, you've reminded me, so I'll definitely keep what I promised you."

As he spoke, Wu Tong threw out a space backpack that he had prepared long ago and said:

"The manufacturing drawings for the protective gear are inside, and they incorporate a lot of our Nibi lineage's unique experience.

As long as you follow the recorded methods and materials, you can forge the best "protective gear"!

In addition, there are three precious gems in the backpack that are hard to find in the outside world. They are all key materials necessary for making "protective gear".

As for the rest, it's up to you to pay attention to it later. Anyway, it's still a while before the unicorn evolves."

"Thank you, senior!"

Lu Ming took a look and happily accepted the "protective gear" drawings and three rare gems, then looked at Lu Hui who was walking towards him.

"Brother, I was really shocked just now. I thought you were about to give back the "Mysterious Water Drop" you just got, but you ended up winning a "Wet Rock" instead."

Seeing Lu Hui handing him the "wet rock", Lu Ming waved his hand and said:

"'Wet Rock' is useless to me, it's for the 'Rainy Team'. Didn't you capture a 'Rainfall' Gull? You can use that."

"But you won this with your own 'Mysterious Drop'!"

"It's okay. If you think you've gotten a good deal, just keep an eye out for the 'Sand Rocks' for me from now on!"

"'Sand Rocks'? I know!"

Lu Ming was just making an excuse, but Lu Hui was very serious and seemed to have really made some kind of decision.

…………

----------

"I had a feeling from the beginning that you knew that Lu Ming. Did you lose on purpose just now?"

After the game, Xiaoyue, who lost to "Wet Rock", angrily questioned Si Yu.

The latter showed a helpless look on his face and said, "That Earth King has the "water storage" property, which makes Milotic's most proficient water magic ineffective. Even the "mysterious water drop" that the teacher temporarily borrowed is useless.

Moreover, the Earth King himself is also very powerful, and there is a high probability that he is wearing a piece of "Black Sludge" that is as high-quality as the teacher's. I really tried my best."

"Nonsense, why didn't you listen to me when I asked you to use 'Self-Regeneration' just now?"

"That's enough! If you say less, you can reveal less ignorance, silly girl.

There was nothing wrong with Si Yu's command. At that time, Milotic's "poison" had almost erupted for the fourth time, and the damage would be extremely terrifying.

Even if it had successfully used "Self-Regeneration" at that time, it would not have been enough to offset the damage caused by the next "Toxic" explosion. Si Yu's all-out attack strategy at that time was already the optimal solution."

"Mom, you're on her side again!"

Xiaoyue gave a coquettish cry, then glared at Si Yu coldly and rushed out.

"Oh, Xiaoyu, I've spoiled my daughter. Don't take it to heart."

"It's okay, it's just that this competition failed to live up to the teacher's expectations."

"It's not your fault, it's also my fault for underestimating that old Wu Tong ghost and specifically looking for such a powerful young man.

As for the high-level props that young man seems to have on him, I think Wu Tong borrowed them for him, specifically to deal with us. He really put a lot of thought into it."

"Teacher, my sister is in Nibi City, and I want to stop by to see her."

"Well, you mentioned this to me before, now that you're here, let's go see her!

But the opening time of the Wetland Secret Realm is approaching. With your current strength, it is just right for you to train there. Remember not to delay for too long."

Chapter 179: Exploration

Late night bar,

Since Lu Ming won the battle, he was naturally pulled out by a group of familiar teammates to drink and celebrate.

In addition to his cousin Lu Hui, Yana and Hei Tong, even Flora volunteered to come.

In fact, she had been cheering for him on the sidelines when he was fighting with Si Yu, so it was natural for her to come over too.

Maybe it was because they were merged into the same team and he was her boss, or maybe this girl was really convinced by Lu Ming's current strength.

Now, Flora no longer has any thought of Lu Ming as a competitor. Instead, she is actively trying to make friends with him and even lowers her posture to get along with him.

But it's not surprising when you think about it. Ever since the Desert Dragonfly narrowly defeated the Blastoise, he has watched Lu Ming's strength increase like a rocket.

For a girl like Flora who has a good education, she naturally knows what it means to judge the situation, so it is not surprising that she is willing to take action now.

"Haha~, congratulations to Boss Lu Ming for defeating a powerful enemy. I heard that this is the disciple that Hualan Gym has been training with all its might recently.

This kind of record is enough to show that Boss Lu Ming is now as good as any opponent of his age."

"Alright, alright~ Hei Tong, please stop. The true geniuses from the aristocratic families are so powerful, I can't possibly try to fool them."

Lu Ming quickly waved his hand to stop the flatterer from speaking so loudly, otherwise if he continued, no one would know who he was talking about.

Kurogiri smiled awkwardly and said, "It's only because Gym Leader Lijia and the others came into contact with spirits earlier than the boss, otherwise it would be hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker now."

Flora chuckled and said, “I think what Kurotoshi said makes sense!

If you, team leader, were born into a family that controls a region, I'm afraid you would already have more than one "Gym Leader-level" elves by now.

By the way, I heard that you, Team Leader, got a good quality "Mystic Drop" from someone at the Cerulean Gym. I wonder if you have a suitable Pokémon to use it with."

"Why? Are you here to ask for it for your Blastoise?" Lu Ming said with a smile.

“That’s not the case. Although my family is not wealthy, we can still afford a main elf item.

I just feel like it would be a bit of a waste if such a prop were left unused. I wonder if the team leader has a favorite water-type Pokémon."

"A water-type elf?"

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and felt that Flora must have reminded him.

Water attribute is a very important and critical attribute. Trainers who have certain conditions will have one equipped, just like Flying-type Pokémon.

Although the Earth King can move underwater like a fish, he is not a true water element after all, so he said:

"Most of the elves I have now are ground-attribute elves, and I want to continue on this path.

A combination of water and ground is best, with Swampert being the best, but if you come across a Sea Slug or Toad King that suits your taste, that's fine too."

"So, the team leader is indeed planning to subdue a water spirit."

"Don't keep me in suspense. Do you want to recommend something to me?"

"Hehe~~, don't worry. I wonder if you've heard about the secret wetland."

"The Secret Wetland! What is that?"
