Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

"Yan Hui!"

At the critical moment, Lu Ming's hoarse reminder lit up the eyes of the gangster crocodile.

Suddenly, a wave of energy belonging to the flying system surged wildly from the body of the gangster crocodile.

Then, the Gangster Crocodile, whose legs could hardly run or jump, simply kicked downwards, and his whole body jumped surprisingly high, as if it was catapulted from the spot.

This sudden jump narrowly avoided Hao Li's fatal blow.

However, the "tile-splitting" energy in Haoli's palm had not yet dissipated, and it was directly aimed at the crocodile in the air.

It knew very well that this was a flightless elf and would soon fall down.

And since it has no fulcrum in the air, it will be easier for it to hit the target.

As expected, the crocodile quickly began to fall, but its posture was a little different from what Haoli had expected.

I saw the gangster crocodile with his arms spread out, as if imitating a flying bird, and a spiral whirlwind shield was faintly forming in front of him!

A strong sense of uneasiness surged in Haoli's heart, but as another flame surged over his body, he knew that he could no longer maintain the "burned" state for much longer. If he missed this opportunity, he would really lose.

Then, murderous intent flashed in Haoli's eyes. With the determination to win, he suddenly swung out the "tile-splitting" attack, hitting the shadow of the gangster crocodile hard.

That's right, the target it hit suddenly disappeared, leaving only a shadow that remained in place due to the sudden shift.

This is the magic of "Swallow Return", which allows for incredible directional changes when launching an attack.

The next moment, Haoli suddenly felt the strong wind pressure from behind and quickly turned around to defend himself.

But before he could raise his arms, he was hit by a crocodile that was flying towards him at high speed.

The spiral wind shield in front of the gangster crocodile twisted Haoli's muscles, and the flowing blood was instantly absorbed by the wind shield.

If it were an elf with weak physical fitness, it would probably have been turned into meat paste by the strong wind pressure caused by "Swallow Return".

"Boom~~"

In the end, Haoli fell down unwillingly, and Hunhun Crocodile also fell to the ground, gasping for breath, obviously exhausted.

Lu Ming was glad that he had mastered the "Swallow Return" technique before, which allowed him to turn defeat into victory at the critical moment.

Now, with the help of the intermediate "Sharp Bird's Beak", the Gangster Crocodile has already used the "Swallow Return" quite well.

Not only can it stay suspended in the air for a short time when performing the technique, it can even change direction with the help of wind.

If it keeps working hard and masters this move, it can even fly briefly in the air like a gliding elf.

By then, it would even dare to fly over Groudon's head and laugh at it for not being able to fly.

Of course, this is not the time to think about these things. Lu Ming hurriedly threw several restorative tree fruits into the big mouth of the gangster crocodile.

Then, he entered into his favorite part - touching the corpse.

Although Hao Li is not dead yet, he will definitely not be able to recover in a short time.

After some searching, Lu Ming found a fiery red gem from Hao Li.

This is the "Flame Orb", a relatively rare item, which still retains the temperature from being activated.

Unlike "Sharp Beak" or "Hard Stone", "Flame Orb" does not have different levels.

Although there are not many elves suitable for wearing, due to their rarity, the price in the market is even not lower than that of mid-level props.

Lu Ming quickly put the money into his pocket, thinking that this woman was indeed wealthy.

He should be about the same age as me, but he has already bred three "excellent-level" Pokémon including Stottle, and equipped them with props. I guess he has a powerful family.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt gloomy and terrible, which instantly diluted the joy of obtaining the "Flame Orb".

It is impossible for such a proud girl with an extraordinary family background to go undercover in a small place like Qingyuan Town.

The most likely possibility is that this was originally an encirclement and suppression mission of the alliance, and she just came here with the main force to gild herself.

Then, Lu Ming recalled again and found that there were indeed too few trainers appearing in the woods in the eastern suburbs today.

A thought exploded in his mind like thunder. Lu Ming raised his head and looked at the sky. He found that even the flying elves that frequently flew over the woods in the past were now few and far between, which further confirmed his guess.

"What should I do? These alliance members must have set up a lot of security around here. If I escape now, I will probably collide with them head-on. Then I will definitely die alone.

Wait a minute~, since the Alliance has already planted a spy among us, they must know the place where we finally delivered the mission.

It's getting late now. If the Alliance really came to wipe us out, they would have been deployed around the assembly point by now, and I should be running in the opposite direction."

With this in mind, Lu Ming didn't bother to take away Hao Li who was lying on the ground, or the Pidgeot that was still there and the treasures that might be in the giant tree. He immediately called the gangster Crocodile and ran towards the east side of the forest.

Lu Ming's heart was beating like a drum, and his steps were chaotic but surprisingly fast, as if his body was instinctively looking for a way to escape.

Sweat slid down his forehead and was instantly swallowed up by the grass, leaving no trace.

Gradually, his breathing became rapid and heavy, but the sense of urgency and desire to survive in his heart forced him to not stop for a moment.

Fortunately, the East Suburbs Woods was not very big, and Lu Ming spent about an hour and finally walked out.

But he still didn't dare to stop for a moment and continued running until he entered a hidden corner and came out again. He had changed into a new set of clothes, and the mask on his face was gone. He looked like a completely good citizen.

But even so, he did not dare to return to Qingyuan Town directly. Instead, he headed north, intending to enter the Yuejian Mountains first, then detour west through the mountains, and finally return home from the north gate of Qingyuan Town.

While walking, when Lu Ming climbed over a valley, he looked far away in the direction of the woods in the eastern suburbs, and somewhere there was a murderous aura.

In addition, countless frightened birds, flying insects and elves were fleeing outwards collectively. It must be that a very large-scale melee was breaking out.

"Hu~~"

A feeling of relief came over him. If they hadn't encountered a different-colored Ouch Ball Mushroom, and the lurking alliance girl hadn't been exposed in advance by the temptation of the different-colored elf, he would most likely be one of the participants in this battle.

Judging from the alliance's deliberate move, the lineup is bound to be strong, and he will be in danger of death!

Lu Ming exhaled lightly, feeling as if he had survived a disaster. He couldn't help but smile upwards and said to the thug Crocodile beside him:

"Hahaha~, you rascal Crocodile, since we escaped early this time, shouldn't we thank that woman?"

"Skull~~"

The gangster crocodile, however, looked unhappy, crossed his arms over his chest, turned his head away and snorted coldly.

It seemed like he was blaming Lu Ming for running away, not because he was a coward.

However, in his slightly raised, unyielding eyes, there was also a deep sense of fear that had never faded.

I wonder how many people will be left in the Rocket Team branch in Qingyuan Town after this battle.

Chapter 24 Undercurrent

now,

In the woods,

The densely packed potholes and countless broken trees showed how fierce the battle was here.

"My Murkrow... My Murkrow!"

"Ah, my leg is broken, I surrender, don't kill me!"

Screams of agony were heard everywhere, and countless Rocket team members knelt on the ground in agony, surrounded by elves who were already unconscious or even dead.

And more people were being escorted out by people wearing official alliance insignia.

The most conspicuous person among them was a middle-aged man in a blue coat.

He looked to be about forty years old, with two mature beards and a kind of determination that showed the vicissitudes of life!

On his left and right sides, there was an elf guarding each of them. Both of them had a strong and domineering aura, which made people feel scared even when seeing them from a distance.

One of them is a tall and mighty dog-like elf with fluffy flaxen hair and is extremely majestic. It is the famous Arcanine in the Kanto region.

On the other side, there was an elf with a purple body and an exaggeratedly large mouth. It was the Sonic Monster, famous for its sound waves.

Not far in front of it, a Gnat, whose internal organs had just been shattered by the sound waves, was lying on the overturned ground and twitching.

"Uncle Feng! Your strength is really getting stronger and stronger. These Team Rocket villains are no match for you."

Hearing the girl's voice coming from behind, the middle-aged man's serious face finally showed a hint of a smile and said:

"Xiao Fu, you've done a lot this time, and you've brought us important intelligence, which allowed us to choose the most appropriate time to close the net.

Moreover, I see that the strength of your Pokémon is also very good, especially that Squirtle, which should be close to evolution.

By then, you will surely be able to enter the ranks of the "senior class." And at such a young age, it is true that a tiger father will have a dog daughter. "

"Hehe~, Uncle Feng, you're too kind. My father has always admired your abilities. This time, it was only after hearing that you were leading the team that he finally let me come along!"

"Your father is just being too kind! Oh, by the way, I remember you should have another Hao Li, right? Why didn't you send it out in the battle just now?"

"Eh~" The girl paused. She wanted to tell the man that a member of Team Rocket who used Crocodile had escaped, but she didn't want to easily reveal the matter of the different-colored Pokémon, so she said:

"Hey~, Haoli accidentally got contaminated with some spores when he was in the forest. He hasn't recovered yet, so I didn't send him out!"

"Oh, so that's it!"

This statement was full of mistakes and omissions, but the man called Uncle Feng didn't intend to ask any further questions. He just nodded and walked away.

Then, the girl named Xiaofu asked softly, "Uncle Feng, I heard from my father before that there has been a big mess within Team Rocket recently.

It might fall apart soon. Why are we pursuing this small Rockets team so relentlessly this time? "

The middle-aged man glanced around and saw that no one was approaching. He said, "Your father also knows about this matter, so it's okay for me to tell you.

I guess you've seen Team Rocket collecting spore-type Pokémons before."

"You mean, there's something unusual about the spore-like spirits in this forest?"

"No~, it's not just the spore elves in this forest.

During this period, all branches of Team Rocket surrounding Nibi City were actively collecting spore-type Pokémon.

They even tried to import large quantities from other places, and the final destination was also Nibi City."

"Strange, what does Team Rocket need so many spore elves for? Are they planning to make some secret spore-related weapon?"

The man shook his head and said, "Their goal is probably not just to get the spore elves.

According to intelligence, all of these recent spore elf-collecting missions were carried out by a high-ranking official in charge of Nibi City, and that official's name is Apollo!"

"Apollo! He is a senior executive in Team Rocket who is second only to the first person and above everyone else. He is actually right here in Nibe City." Xiaofu said in surprise.
