Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

Immediately afterwards, three scorpions glided at the same time, their targets surprisingly consistent, all heading towards the gangster crocodile.

Obviously, in their eyes, among the three elves in front of them, only the gangster crocodile poses a certain threat.

Although the giant jaw ant has good talent and strong bloodline, it is still young and has not yet matured.

As for the human and the pink and tender Jigglypuff, they were simply ignored by them.

Facing the siege of three Scorpios, a flying energy suddenly condensed in the body of the Gangster Crocodile.

Then, with a kick of its legs, the entire crocodile took off on the spot, and instantly moved to the top of one of the scorpions' heads at an incredible speed and a very tricky angle.

"Touch~~"

Wrapped in the spiral air shield created by "Yan Fan", the gangster crocodile slammed into the back of the Scorpio, knocking it down directly and pressing it down.

But before the crocodile could take advantage of the situation to finish off the scorpion, the other two scorpions that missed their target turned and rushed towards him.

The first scorpion to arrive had silver light flowing on its claws, but when it smashed down, it was bitten by the big mouth of the gangster crocodile, which was wrapped in dark energy.

In an instant, the energies of "splitting" and "biting" confronted each other and entangled like silver and black lightning.

At the same time, another scorpion also rushed over, and its claws, which were flowing with light blue energy light, smashed straight into the face of the gangster crocodile.

Just when the Gangster Crocodile had no time to pay attention, a fan-shaped sound wave suddenly covered it, and the latter's impact was also paused by the influence of the sound wave.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, the gangster crocodile and the scorpion also decided the winner.

The black evil energy suppressed the silver normal energy, and then, amid Scorpio's screams of pain, it threw him away and smashed him heavily on the rock wall.

Then, while the Scorpio had not yet fully recovered from the sound waves, the Gangster Crocodile immediately condensed a circle of rock and shot it over, all of which hit the Scorpio and buried it alive.

But just as the crocodile dealt with two opponents in a row, the scorpion that he had pinned down earlier had recovered, and while the former was concentrating on fighting the enemy, it raised its tail and stabbed.

The scorpion's tail was swung with a deadly purple-black light, and it was actually directly using the "poison tail".

However, what it didn't know was that Lu Ming had already seen the scene of it quietly condensing its "poison tail".

Although, as an ordinary human trainer, his fighting power is not even as good as that of the Jaw Ant that just launched a "Round" sneak attack, he also has a secret weapon for critical moments.

"Touch~~"

Just as Scorpio's "poison tail" was about to sting Crocodile, a red and white Poké Ball hit it and took it in.

That’s right, this is the most powerful weapon Lu Ming can use on his own in a field battle - the Poké Ball.

Even so, Scorpio still had enough physical strength at this moment and broke free from the restraints of the Poké Ball in an instant.

But the short moment when it was in the Poké Ball not only disrupted its attack rhythm, but also allowed Crocodile to make full preparations.

When it broke out of the ball with a confused look on its face, the gangster crocodile had already condensed several rocks and smashed them all down on its head.

.........

Although three Scorpios were dealt with in a row, a greater crisis was quietly approaching.

Just when the fierce battle was about to begin, the movement in the dragon's lair attracted the attention of more scorpions, and several more flew towards this side.

"No, we are outnumbered and can't hold on!"

Lu Ming's mind moved, and instead of commanding the battle, he put the Crocodile back into the Poké Ball.

Then, he took out a dozen Poké Balls in succession, opened them all, and threw them towards the entrance of the dragon's lair.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

These Poké Balls flashed silver light one by one, and released more than ten small Pokémon.

Paras, Mushroom, and Oops Ball are all spore elves that Lu Ming had collected in the woods in the eastern suburbs before.

These spore elves have regained some consciousness, and in the fear of being suddenly released, they sprayed out a large amount of spores and mycelium at the same time!

The scorpions that were charging at full speed couldn't stop and all flew into the sea of ​​spores, becoming confused for a moment.

At the same time, before the spores spread, Lu Ming rushed directly to the Big Jaw Ant and Jigglypuff, holding one in each hand and bringing them into the desert space.

.........

"Hu~~"

Lu Ming let out a light breath, calmed his tense nerves, and then released the gangster crocodile again.

"Skull~~"

"Hey~"

Lu Ming sat down on the sand. He was really overwhelmed by the fatal threats he had encountered continuously in the past two days.

But this is not the time to relax. At present, he can only stay in the desert space for less than half an hour.

If they go out and find that the Scorpios have not left, they will still be like fish on the chopping board.

But even though the enemy outnumbers us, Lu Ming will not give up easily and will have to struggle a little.

Then, he took out a brocade box from his inner pocket, in which were placed three intermediate-level "ground gems", which were obtained by sacrificing the "excellent-level" Chuanshan King, Longlong Stone and Gala Gala.

Before, he had always worried that if the Gangster Crocodile directly absorbed three intermediate "ground gems", it would cause an imbalance between its own ground and evil attribute energies.

But at this moment, he couldn't care less.

In such a dangerous environment, increasing your strength will give you a better chance of survival.

So, he directly took out a mid-level "ground gem" and threw it into the mouth of the gangster crocodile who had been salivating over it for a long time. The latter digested and absorbed it on the spot.

In addition to the gangster crocodile, the giant jaw ant brought in by Lu Ming was also salivating over it.

At first, it and Jigglypuff were surprised by the sudden change in the environment.

But after feeling the intermediate "ground gem" that Lu Ming took out, he no longer felt surprised.

In an instant, all the attention and senses of the giant jaw ant were focused on the pure gem in the human's hand.

…………

Chapter 30: Subduing the Jaw Ants and Advancing

Seeing the giant mandible ant staring intently at the intermediate "ground gem" in his hand, Lu Ming tried to ask:

"You want it too!"

"Guguga~~"

The giant-jawed ant moved its exaggeratedly large head up and down vigorously, expressing its desire at the moment.

"Hiss~, this is a bit difficult. Intermediate gems are very precious. We can't just give them away casually. Even if I agree, the gangster crocodile won't agree!"

"Skull~~"

Crocodile, who was absorbing the gem's energy, nodded quickly in agreement.

"How about this, if you can agree to become my partner, then it wouldn't be a problem for me to provide you with some resources."

As Lu Ming spoke, he took out a Poké Ball and signaled the Ant to make its own choice.

He had been coveting this giant-jawed ant before, but with the desert dragonfly beside him, he naturally didn't dare to show any interest.

Judging from the previous situation, the desert dragonflies might not survive after they left, so naturally there was no need to worry about this.

Seeing the hesitant look on the face of the giant jaw ant, Lu Ming persuaded:

"Your mother is being beaten by a group of people right now. If you can become stronger, maybe you can still help her in time.

Besides, I can get a lot more gems like this in the future, even higher quality ones. It won't be difficult. Think about it."

Upon hearing this, the big-jawed ant looked at the intermediate "ground gem" with longing again. Its pair of small round eyes suddenly became firmer and it nodded at Lu Ming.

Then, it slowly approached the Poké Ball that Lu Ming extended and actively pressed against the button on the ball.

Since the mandible ants entered actively, the ball didn't even struggle after entering and was declared conquered.

"Hehe~, that's great! When he evolves into a Desert Dragonfly in the future, I can become a Dragon Knight too!"

Seeing Lu Ming's wild thoughts, Crocodile nodded in satisfaction. He thought to himself that the two-legged beast was really good at getting along, and even thoughtfully prepared some spare food for him.

Since he has already subdued the giant-jawed ant, Lu Ming naturally won't be stingy with it.

After releasing it, throw an intermediate "Ground Gem" directly into its big mouth!

Unlike the Gangster Crocodile which has ground and evil attributes, the Jaw Ant currently only has a single ground attribute and does not have to worry about energy imbalance.

In an instant, when the giant jaw ant, which was only at the "ordinary level", came into contact with such a pure force, the energy in its body suddenly surged.

Immediately afterwards, the weak energy originally in its body was gradually raised, and even actively impacted that critical bottleneck.

Finally, after about ten minutes, the restless energy gradually subsided, but the giant jaw ants had made a huge leap compared to before.

"Excellent!"

The giant jaw ant in front of him, which looked very young, was actually at the same level as the gangster crocodile.

In fact, judging from its size, this giant jaw ant should not be very big, at least smaller than the gangster crocodile.

The latter had only recently reached the "excellent level" with the subsidy of the desert space plug-in, and it was achieved through evolution.

In contrast, the giant jaw ant in front of us is obviously smaller than the gangster crocodile, but it has reached the "excellent level" without any evolution.

This is enough to show how good his own talent is and how powerful the desert dragonfly bloodline is.

The intermediate gems need to be digested for a while. By the time the two elves have absorbed all the essence, it is almost the end of their stay time in the desert space.

Although, absorbing a mid-level quality "ground gem" is far from enough for the gangster crocodile to advance.

However, the energy fluctuations emanating from his body were visibly more condensed and powerful.

During this period, Lu Ming also made final efforts and preparations.

First, he taught Jigglypuff some fighting skills, hoping that it would be useful at the critical moment.

But unfortunately, the latter was obviously raised as a Pokémon and has no fighting awareness at all.

Lu Ming had no way to change this situation in the short term, so he had to focus his attention on his new partner, the giant jaw ant.

Before, the "hard stone" item that the gangster crocodile exchanged for the intermediate "sharp bird beak" was directly handed over to the big-jawed ant.

What surprised Lu Ming a little was that the giant jaw ant had learned the "rock blockade" trick from its mother a long time ago, and the "hard stone" was put to good use for it.

Judging from the previous battles, rock-type moves are quite practical against Scorpios who have the advantage of flying.
