Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

During this period, Lu Ming learned from the boy and girl that their names were Xiaosen and Xiaofu respectively.

Of course, this is most likely their pseudonym or nickname.

Perhaps in their minds, the status of a formal team member was too unattainable, so they kept a distance from the latter with some fear along the way.

On the other hand, Lu Ming happened to be the "commoner boss" they could reach, so they actually tried to fawn over him all the way.

Lu Ming had not expected that just a slight move from him would deeply shock his teammates!

Chapter 19 Mushrooms

In a damp place under the shade of a tree somewhere in the jungle, several elves with beige umbrellas with green spots on their caps were cuddling together.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew overhead, causing all the little ones less than half a meter tall to panic and scream.

They have no upper limbs, only a pair of round little feet. They turn their bodies swayingly and look at a Pidgeot that has landed on the branch in front of them.

These mushrooms may look weak, but they also have unique deterrent properties.

As their bodies swayed up and down, many tiny spores sprayed out from the small holes on the top of their umbrellas.

Most of them floated towards the Pidgeot, and a small part fell on the ground around it.

The plants on the ground that were contaminated by the spores withered instantly, which shows how strong the toxicity is.

Although these elves are weak, their poisonous spores are extremely deadly, and are the basis for these little guys to survive in the wild.

But faced with these spores containing highly toxic substances, the Pidgeot was not at all panicked. It just spread its wings and flapped them, instantly forming a gust of wind.

The strong wind not only returned the poisonous spores that were blowing towards it to their original owners, but also blew the mushrooms into pieces, making them look miserable.

The mutual growth and restraint in the biological world is very strange. The spores that would give many powerful elves a headache if they met them alone are not worth mentioning at all to the Pidgeot that has mastered the "Wind" move. It seems that they were born to target them.

However, after Pidgeot blew the mushrooms unconscious, it had no intention of going forward to hunt them. Instead, it cried out, attracting four human trainers.

These four people were naturally Lu Ming's team. After they appeared, they immediately subdued the mushrooms.

Although their overall strength was ranked last among many teams, they had gained a lot along the way thanks to Pidgeot's control over spore-type Pokémon.

"Hmm~, not bad, not bad. Just the Paras we have conquered before are enough for us to complete our mission.

I didn’t expect to catch so many mushrooms at once. It looks like I can get a lot of points this time! Haha!”

As he spoke, Ajie hooked his finger at Xiaosen and Xiaofu, and actually took all the mushrooms they had captured into his hands.

Then, he looked at the two Poké Balls filled with mushrooms in Lu Ming's hand, squinted his eyes, and said:

"Your Pidgeot has done a lot of good things, so I'll give you these mushrooms as a reward!"

The tone of his voice sounded as if he had dealt with all these mushrooms himself.

Lu Ming was also very "sensible" and said: "Thank you, Captain. It is because of your good leadership that Pidgeot can achieve such success."

"Well, that's fine. As long as you keep working hard, it won't be difficult to follow me and have a bite of soup!"

After saying that, the few of them continued on their journey to explore, but Lu Ming felt something was amiss.

After all, there are usually quite a lot of flying elves in this forest, and you can often see Bobo or Gugu flying in the sky, but today there are not many.

But Lu Ming immediately thought that it might be because there were too many people from Team Rocket this time, and the gathering of evil energy scared the flying elves, so there shouldn't be any problem.

However, after they had walked a few steps, they heard a prompt from the Pidgeot in the sky.

"Eh~, I'm so lucky today! Not only did I not encounter any powerful elves along the way, but I also made another discovery so quickly!"

Lu Ming made a warning gesture and whispered, "Be careful, the sound made by the Pidgeot isn't right. The target ahead might be difficult to deal with."

After saying that, they approached cautiously and found an extremely thick tree.

Judging from the dimensions of the tree, it might not be possible for them to hug it together.

And under this big tree, there are many "red and white balls" sparsely dotted, swaying gently in the wind.

"Huh~, why are there so many Poké Balls in the wild?"

The young man's whisper of surprise was heard by Ajie, who immediately rolled his eyes and said:

"How did you manage to complete the Team Rocket assessment? You don't even recognize the Oops Ball Mushroom."

That’s right, these creatures swaying slightly under the thick and big trees are actually a kind of elves with grass and poison attributes - Oh, the ball mushrooms!

In fact, these Oyster Mushrooms and the mushrooms they caught before are not Pokémon species native to Kanto.

However, the globalization of the elven world has been going on for hundreds of years. In the process of free trade and migration of humans, elves from various regions will inevitably drift to foreign lands and form ethnic groups.

Although the spore-type elves in this jungle are mainly Paras and Parast, there are also a certain number of Mushrooms and Oops.

But the number of the Oya ball mushroom group in front of them was probably more than thirty, which was something that none of them had seen before.

"Good boy, we've finally found them this time. If I bring them all back, the contribution points I get will be enough to exchange for a skill manual!"

A hint of greed flashed in Ajie's eyes, but then the fiery look was extinguished by a large creature whose height was obviously taller than the other Oops Ball Mushrooms, and turned into a solemn look.

"Exposure Ball Mushroom!"

The exposed ball mushroom stood out among the other Oops ball mushrooms like a giant, like their guardian god, making the evil-minded hunters tremble in fear.

Lu Ming and his companions carefully felt it and found that the energy fluctuations emanating from this exposed ball mushroom had undoubtedly reached the "excellent level".

Moreover, it is not an ordinary "excellent grade" like Ajay's Lada.

Instead, the energy level has reached a very advanced level, even better than Lu Ming's Rogue Crocodile.

Of course, this is just a simple comparison of energy levels. If it really comes to actual combat, Lu Ming still believes that the Gangster Crocodile can defeat it.

However, although Lu Ming had this confidence, Ajie, the temporary captain, did not have it at all.

He felt that he was no match for the exposed ball mushrooms, but he was unwilling to give up this large nest of ball mushrooms easily, so he became hesitant for a while.

Both Xiaosen and Xiaofu looked worried, probably thinking that it would not be their turn anyway, so it was best not to take any risks.

Lu Ming, on the other hand, became somewhat interested in the tree and began to ponder in his heart:

“It’s strange, there are almost no particularly large trees nearby except this one.

Only this tree is particularly tall, giving the impression of being the most outstanding tree in the forest.

Could it be that there is some grass-attributed treasure hidden in this big tree, which is why it grows so well!

It seems that I need to find a chance to explore it. Who knows, I might find some opportunities."

With this in mind, Lu Ming immediately noted down the approximate location of the giant tree.

I thought that even if I didn’t have the chance this time, I could still come and have a look after the mission was over.

But just when everyone was thinking about their own things, another team quietly approached.

"Hey~, isn't this Ajie? I didn't expect you to find the Oops Ball Mushroom too."

The team consisted of five people, all of whom appeared to be men. The official team member who was in the lead had obviously known Ajie for a long time and greeted him casually.

And beside him, there was a Golbat flying, which must be his elf companion.

However, judging from the energy fluctuations emitted by this Golbat, they were much greater than those of Rada. The latter also became uneasy when he saw it, like a mouse seeing its natural enemy.

"Hey, Brother Tian! You're here too, that's great! We can team up and split these mushrooms up."

Hearing this, the man known as Brother Tian did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared at Ajie with a half-smile, until he felt uneasy. Then he said:

"Hey, Brother Tian, ​​why do you look at me like this? I am not a person who doesn't know the limits.

What I mean is that the exposed mushrooms will be yours, and the remaining ones will be divided equally."

"How dare you think that with your limited strength, you're actually thinking about exposing the ball mushroom?

Humph, after the deed is done, the exposed mushroom will naturally belong to me, and the remaining mushrooms will be divided 30% to 70% between you and me."

The anger in Ajie's eyes flashed away, and he quickly put on an embarrassed look and said:

"Aiya~, this Zubat certainly has an attribute advantage, but this Blightball is also extremely strong.

Plus, with the help of such a large group of Oops Ball Mushrooms, even if all of them release their spores and hyphae together, it wouldn't be easy to break through."

"I've made my own arrangements for this!" The regular team member, known as Brother Tian, ​​pointed to a reserve player behind him and the black crow standing on his shoulder, and said:

"This kid's spirit is Murkrow, and he also mastered the skill 'Raise the Wind', so he contributed a lot along the way.

With this countermeasure, the mushrooms' spore tactics have been largely broken."

Hearing this, Applejack laughed and said, "The 'Raise the Wind' trick is indeed effective against them, but there are about thirty of them here, and I'm afraid the wind force of one Murkrow isn't enough!"

Ajie paused, carefully observing Tian Ge's expression, and then continued:

"This guy on my team has a really good Pidgeot, even stronger than that Murkrow!

Besides, my Rada has at least "excellent" combat power, which can be of considerable help and reduce the damage to Golbat.

I think, aside from the leader's exposure of the ball mushroom, it's reasonable for us to take 50% of the Oops Ball Mushroom."

Hearing this, Tian Ge turned his scrutinizing gaze towards Lu Ming, and the Pidgeot also landed beside the latter.

"Haha~, good~, I didn't expect this young man to have such strength. Ajie, you really got lucky this time.

Let's just decide this. Let's quickly discuss how to fight so that we don't get called in by others and cause trouble."

Chapter 20 Different Color

Several people quickly set up a battle plan and acted separately according to the law.

First, Xiaosen, Xiaofu and the other four reserve members of the team went to attract the attention of the exposed ball mushroom and a group of Oops ball mushrooms.

The elves of the other people were fine. Although they were not very strong, they also acted step by step.

Only Xiao Sen's monkey monster suddenly disobeyed the command and started jumping up and down and playing nearby.

Fortunately, their mission was to attract the attention of the Aiyaqiu Mushroom. Although the monkey monster's action caused Xiaosen to roll his eyes, it was harmless.

This large group of spherical mushrooms are naturally not easy to talk to. When they are disturbed, they immediately release spores to attack.

At this moment, Lu Ming and the Murkrow trainer, who were lying in ambush on the side, suddenly appeared and commanded the Pokémon to use "Wind" to disperse the spores.
