Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

"The team leader really didn't know. That's okay. I told you from the beginning."

“The so-called secret wetland is a spatial passage that appears on its own every ten years at the intersection of Nibi City and the Quartz Plateau.

This space channel is directly controlled by the Alliance Headquarters. Every ten years, outstanding trainers from all over the country will be accepted to adventure in it, but the age limit cannot exceed thirty years old.

I heard that the vast majority of elves are water-based, and there are many different water bodies.

If you are in a swamp area, there should be a lot of ground and water elves roaming around. I think it should not be difficult to find one with extraordinary talent.

In addition, the secret wetland realm is also a small world of its own, and a ten-year interval is enough for some resources to grow again.

Many trainers who have experienced it said that they had good opportunities in it, or captured some water-type Pokémon with great talents.

My father was born in an ordinary family, and it was because of some opportunities he got after venturing into the secret wetland twenty years ago that he achieved some success today.

Of course, if you want to enter the secret realm, you must have a letter of recommendation from a respected person and pay a channel maintenance fee, and there are also requirements for the trainer's strength.

You must have at least one Pokémon that has reached the "senior level", but it cannot be a "gym owner level" Pokémon, otherwise it would be too much of a bully for the newbies.

As a result, this secret wetland has gradually become an ideal choice for many people to train their young people.

My father has already written a letter of recommendation for me, but given his level, he can only recommend one person at most.

But I see that Mayor Ace thinks highly of you, Team Leader. If you want to enter that secret realm to find a spirit that suits your taste or other opportunities, you can ask him to do it."

After listening to Flora's speech, Lu Ming nodded repeatedly and became interested in this secret wetland.

Yana frowned and asked Flora with a suspicious look:

"Since your father has already written a letter of recommendation for you, why did you specifically ask Brother Lu Ming to come?"

"Hehe~, there's nothing I can do. It's not easy to enter the secret wetland, and I can't bring anyone to protect me.

There was neither surveillance nor Junsha inside, and I, a pretty little girl, was afraid of running into some bad guys if I went in alone.

But it’s different with Team Leader Lu Ming by his side. Just like what Hei Tong said before, how many people of the same age can be his match?

If I had the team leader's protection, I wouldn't even dare to go to the Silver Mountain, let alone the Wetland Secret Realm."

"No, no, no~, I don't dare go to Baiyin Mountain!" Lu Ming held his forehead and said:

"So this is what you meant after saying so much!

However, since we are colleagues in the same group, it is not a big deal for us to support each other outside, so there is no need to talk about shelter or anything like that."

As he spoke, Lu Ming thought of something and said to his cousin Lu Hui, "By the way, your current Mosquito Repellent Swimmer and Gallopagus are both "senior-level" existences. As a water-type specialized trainer, you should also try your hand at it."

Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said, “It is said that there are two “senior-level” elves, but the Big-billed Gull was only captured recently.

Not only is his mind fully mature, but I didn't even defeat him myself and he wouldn't listen to my commands at all.

Besides, Flora's father only has one spot, so the mayor probably doesn't have many either, so let's just forget it."

"No need. Mayor Ace's recommendation can be given to you. I have my own way."

Chapter 180 Entering the Secret Realm

As the opening date of the wetland secret realm approaches, Lu Ming discovers that there are many unfamiliar and powerful auras in Nibi City.

But this is where the Nibi Gym is located, so he is not worried that anyone would dare to act rashly here.

Finally, two days after his duel with Si Yu ended, the previously faint spatial fluctuations began to appear.

A mysterious light blue space crack appeared out of nowhere in the southwestern suburbs of Nibi City.

This kind of movement naturally attracted people from all sides who were interested in this space.

It also attracted the masters of the Kanto Alliance to isolate the space rift and prevent people from approaching easily.

When Lu Ming rushed over after hearing the noise, he found that there were already many people surrounding him, all of whom were young trainers preparing to enter the secret realm.

Since the space rift has been blocked by the alliance headquarters, the people waiting there have all been screened by the alliance staff and have been confirmed to be explorers with letters of recommendation before being allowed in.

He gave Mayor Ace's recommendation spot to Lu Hui, and went to ask Lijia for one himself.

As the leader of the Yuhong Gym, it would be easy for her to recommend ten people at the same time, and it wouldn't even be considered a favor.

Lu Ming looked around at the crowded trainers. In addition to Lu Hui and Flora who came with him, there were some familiar faces.

Like Wu Kong, who had fought with him before, he was waiting for the passage to open with some members of the Nibi Gym who were of similar age.

Si Yu and Xiao Yue, who had come with Yao Qin before, also came, but at the moment they seemed not in harmony and were very far away from each other.

Si Yu also saw Lu Ming from afar. Seeing that he was also going to enter the secret realm, he smiled with some surprise and nodded.

This scene happened to fall into Xiaoyue's eyes. She glanced back and forth between Si Yu and Lu Ming with an extremely gloomy look, and then she gritted her teeth and muttered:

"Looking at her expression, I'm afraid she's just dying to give it away for free. She even said she didn't mean to lose to him. She's such a traitor. I don't know why Mom likes her so much. This time, I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget."

Not long after, as most of the people participating in the secret trial arrived, an old man who was the leader of the group sent by the Alliance Headquarters nodded secretly, then opened the Poké Ball and released a strange Pokémon that looked like a bell.

This large bell is bronze in color. There is a horizontal beam on the top of the bell, a hole under the beam, and beams hanging down from both sides.

Its bell mouth is facing downwards, and its body is carved with patterns. There are red ring-shaped eyes on the bell body, and the mouth is in the center of the eyes. There is a tree-like pattern on the back. It is a bronze bell with steel and superpower system.

Even though, those who were present and were planning to participate in the secret trial at least had some background, like Flora.

But after seeing this extremely rare bronze bell, which was obviously at the "museum owner level", they still couldn't help but express surprise and envy.

The old man sent by the alliance headquarters was accustomed to this. He was neither surprised nor happy by the amazement of the young heroes around him. He just nodded lazily at the bronze clock.

The next moment, as the suspended body of the bronze bell swayed in the air, a deep and long sound rang out. Everyone present was shocked and felt insignificant.

Before everyone could be shocked, the eyes on the clock face were already flashing with dazzling light, and a huge super power surged out.

Lu Ming knew that this "museum owner-level" bronze bell was probably going to use some magical mental power, so he quickly released the telekinetic clay doll so that it could investigate closely.

There are many people who hold this idea. Many people who have elves with super powers release their elves so that they can observe and learn something.

This includes Wu Kong's Moon Rock and Xiao Yue's Gem Starfish, but whether it is them or the telekinetic clay dolls, the gap in mental power with the bronze bell at the moment is too big, and the things they can see are extremely limited.

The next moment, as the bronze bell continued to release its superpowers, the light blue space crack was actually forcibly stretched.

Amidst the electromagnetic "crackling" sound, the originally long and narrow space crack turned into an energy vortex about three or four meters wide, becoming a real space channel for entering and exiting the secret realm.

"Once you enter the secret realm of the wetlands, you will be temporarily isolated from our world, and no laws or rules can restrict you.

You should each look for opportunities and do not be too eager for quick success. When you encounter danger, you can only rely on your own abilities, and life and death will be in the hands of God.

But remember, this space crack can only exist for three days. Three days later is the deadline to get out. If you miss it, you will have to wait for ten years.

After you enter, you will be teleported to a random location not far from the space channel. It is best to confirm the specific location of this portal first, so as not to lose the way at the last minute.

Well, that's all I have to say. I believe you all understand the importance of this matter. If anyone wants to withdraw now, they can leave."

After the visitor finished his routine words, he quietly retreated to the side with the bronze bell and closed his eyes to rest leisurely.

The young people present for the training all possess certain abilities, and some even come from good backgrounds.

He had known about this for a long time, so how could he be scared by these words? He drilled into the space channel without any retreat.

Lu Ming did not enter the passage immediately, but called Lu Hui and Flora over and said:

"You heard it too. Once you enter, you will be teleported to a random location. So I'm going to have the telekinetic clay dolls set spatial coordinates on you. Don't resist."

"Hmm~" x2

The two nodded in unison, letting the telekinetic clay doll's spiritual power seed fall into their hands without dodging.

Lu Hui took this opportunity to look around. When his eyes swept in a certain direction, he happened to see the same gaze directed towards him.

The source of that gaze was Xiaoyue, with whom he had had an argument before, and now she was giving him a cold look.

In addition, her jewel starfish, which also possessed superpowers, was now using the same method to place its mental imprint on several male companions around it.

It is obvious that these people may be teammates added by Xiaoyue temporarily, or companions who have been arranged long ago.

"You brought helpers with you? I hope she won't cause me trouble!" Lu Ming clenched his fists slightly and muttered to himself.

After the telekinetic clay doll finished casting the spell, Lu Ming nodded to the two of them, and the three of them entered the passage together.

The passage is not long, but the howling strange space storm can blow away people who were originally traveling together and even elves. No wonder the old man said that the trial-takers will randomly land in different locations in the secret realm.

Lu Ming had anticipated this situation and took back the telekinetic clay doll before coming in to avoid dispersion.

"Shua~~"

After a dizzying spin, Lu Ming felt his body lighten. The blue space energy around him disappeared, and was replaced by a vast expanse of water.

…………

Chapter 181: Planting Good Causes

After a dizzying spin, Lu Ming found himself in a vast expanse of water.

Without having time to marvel at the strange environment in the secret realm, Lu Ming immediately released the telekinetic clay doll and asked it to use its mental power to scan the surroundings to see if there was anyone else here.

After all, the most dangerous part of the Wetland Secret Realm now comes from the human trainers who enter here together.

Although there have been trainers who have received great opportunities in the past, behind their success is probably the "selfless dedication" of countless other peers.

With the protection of the telekinetic clay doll, Lu Ming began to observe with peace of mind and found that the water level here just covered his calves, and the surroundings were filled with pure water elements that were hard to find in the outside world.

Seeing this, Lu Ming simply released the Earth King. This wetland environment was like a fish in water for it.

Most of this secret place is covered by water, and a few places are glaciers or muddy shallows.

The Earth King, who was originally the slowest when exploring outside, can now take advantage of his extremely fast speed here.

Although the water level in this area was still shallow and the Earth King had only been released not long ago, it had already "drifted" around Lu Ming's feet countless times.

"Alright, alright~, we'll be here for three more days, there are plenty of opportunities to experience things.

The most urgent thing is to find Xiaohui and Flora first. The danger here is not limited to wild Pokémon, and more people will be safer."

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, a strange pink light lit up in the eyes of the telekinetic clay doll, and immediately, waves like signals spread out, and began to search for the spiritual imprint that had been planted before.

Soon, the telekinetic clay doll sensed the location of the mark and was about to take Lu Hui there, but his mental power suddenly tightened, and then a pink light shield was already protecting Lu Ming.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

Several tiny water arrows shot out from under the water, but before they hit Lu Ming's chest, they were blocked by the pink light wall created by the telekinetic clay doll and turned into water mist.
