Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

Lu Ming couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this person has found a way to recreate the Moon Bear?

Chapter 40 Peat Bogs and Giant Flower

peat bogs,

The tangled roots of the ancient trees are exposed in the thick muddy pool.

The slimy tail fins of a few black birds created ripples and awakened the sleeping lotus leaf children. They hurriedly scattered on the lotus leaves, and shattered into thousands of pieces of emerald on the surface of the mud.

Faced with these unexpected changes, the Slowpoke on the nearby reef remained calm and continued to lie lazily in the same place.

These Slowpokes are obviously missing a section of their tails and are waiting to grow back.

This peat bog is private property, so naturally everyone has to make use of it, and Slowpoke is one of them.

Suddenly, a string of bubbles rose from the deep mud somewhere nearby, revealing a swamp king burying its head in the water.

The Swamp King showed his big, smooth blue head, holding a handful of black peat in his palm.

The formation of this black peat is the result of the combined action of various natural factors, and it takes countless years of sedimentation.

At this moment, the black peat is still in a muddy state because it has been soaked for too long and cannot be used directly.

But then, when the Swamp King's hands released some strange power, the peat actually changed visibly to the naked eye.

In just a blink of an eye, a soft and dry "peat block" was formed.

“Store water!”

The Swamp King actually used his own "water storage" characteristics to easily complete the water collection steps.

When a "peat block" was produced on the spot, a Haoli skillfully took it from the Swamp King's hand and walked out of the swamp.

At this moment, the Swamp King who was doing the same thing and the Haoli who were transporting "peat blocks" to the same location were densely packed and countless in this peat swamp.

Although this peat bog has multiple economic uses, the most valuable one is undoubtedly this high-quality "peat block"!

And since the Pokémon have the ability to produce independently, the huge peat swamp only needs a small number of trainers to patrol and guard it.

However, the leisurely pace of these swamp kings in finding and producing "peat blocks" was soon disrupted by sudden changes.

In different areas of this swamp, attackers began to appear simultaneously.

They were divided into teams of about five or six people, and each team launched the raid under the leadership of a regular member wearing a black Team Rocket uniform.

The initiators of these raids were naturally Lu Ming and other members of Team Rocket.

As one of the only four regular team members left in Qingyuan Town, Lu Ming naturally became the team leader this time, leading five reserve team members.

Coincidentally, this group included the Monkey King trainer named Komori who traveled with us last time.

The area they are responsible for is located in the southernmost part of the peat swamp. Looking around, there are about ten pairs of Swamp Kings and Haoli working together.

"Do it!"

As soon as Lu Ming and his men appeared, they gave orders directly.

Upon hearing this, several reserve team members behind him took action and searched for the Swamp King and Hao Li who were alone nearby.

These Swamplords and Hao Li were not bred as combat Pokémon. It was obvious that they lacked training, and they certainly did not have many resources allocated to them, so they were not strong.

But after all, they were all evolved forms, so their basic physical stats were still good, and they were able to compete with several reserve players for a while.

Lu Ming glanced at the scene of the noobs fighting each other around him and shook his head helplessly.

Especially Xiao Sen, he still hadn't completely tamed the monkey monster, letting it jump up and down and have a lot of fun playing in the mud.

However, his mission this time was to create chaos, so he turned a blind eye to it.

However, since he had come this far, he also wanted to see whether the "peat block" that the bear king had been thinking about had the ability to evolve into a circle bear.

With this in mind, Lu Ming's sight quickly locked onto a Haoli holding a "peat block", and instructed the gangster crocodile beside him to launch an attack.

Although they were both powerful, the individual in front of him was obviously much weaker than the powerful Xiaofu.

Faced with the sudden attack, it seemed very panicked with only "ordinary level" strength, and was easily defeated by the Rogue Crocodile with "Swallow Return" in one encounter.

The "peat block" in its hand was naturally brought to Lu Ming by the gangster crocodile.

Holding the ordinary-looking black "peat block", Lu Ming frowned.

Having come into contact with many good things, he could feel very clearly that there was absolutely no abnormal energy fluctuation in the "peat block".

If you say that this thing can make the Circle Bear, which has not evolved for hundreds of years, evolve into the more powerful Moon Bear, he will never believe it.

Perhaps, hundreds of years ago, there really was a "peat block" that could allow the Panda Bear to evolve.

But today's "peat blocks" have lost this energy and are at best a very high-quality material.

But if that were all, then why would the Bear King, who is already a "senior-level" man, come and seize these things for no other reason than to have nothing better to do?

"Perhaps, seizing the 'peat block' is just an excuse for Mr. Bear, just like us trying to attract other people's attention now, which is completely unnecessary. Perhaps he has other ideas."

Just as Lu Ming was thinking, an angry voice was heard. It turned out to be a trainer in charge of swamp security.

"Is it finally here?"

Lu Ming snorted coldly, but saw that the trainer was approaching and throwing a Poké Ball, which actually released a Venusaur.

This is a flower that looks like a pitcher plant, with a yellow body and dark yellow spots.

A leaf grows from its head to cover its huge, sky-facing mouth, and the leaf ends in a long brown vine with small yellow leaflets.

Seeing that his opponent was Venusaur, Lu Ming's pupils shrank slightly.

After all, Venusaur has undergone two stages of evolution, and has both grass and poison attributes, which can restrain Crocodile to a certain extent.

But soon, Lu Ming felt relieved after feeling that the energy fluctuations it emitted were not much stronger than those of the Gangster Crocodile.

I think it should have been relatively weak when it was Sapphire, and its trainer used the primary-quality "Leaf Stone" on it early on.

Therefore, even though the Venus flytrap in front of us has undergone two evolutions, its energy level is only comparable to that of the current Crocodile.

Otherwise, this person would not be limited to working as a security guard in this remote swamp.

Although Lu Ming was not afraid of the intimidating Venus flytrap in front of him, the reserve team members around him were extremely shocked and wanted to turn around and run away immediately.

Lu Ming casually put the "peat block" into the space backpack, and then shouted coldly:

"Why are you panicking? I'll take care of the Venus flytrap. Just focus on your own tasks."

Seeing that their leader Lu Ming was not afraid at all, several reserve team members regained some fighting spirit.

But his attention was still closely focused on the situation here, fearing that he would run away immediately if he saw something was wrong.

…………

Chapter 41: Bear Appears

The Venus flytrap suddenly swung its large leaves on both sides, and then several sharp green leaf blades shot out.

At the same time, several rocks condensed around the crocodile and smashed towards the one in front under its control.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

The "Flying Leaf Knife" and the "Rock Blockade" collided and offset each other, shattering each other into broken leaves and powder.

Seeing that the attack failed, the two vine whips of Venus Flycatcher immediately extended more than ten meters, and with a rapid lash, they turned into heavy whip shadows and lashed towards the gangster crocodile!

The latter was not panicked at all. He stretched out his arms and condensed a pair of energy claws with green light on his original claws.

The green light claws danced and blocked all the whip shadows.

"How is it possible that this rascal crocodile actually mastered the 'Dragon Claw'!"

The Venusaur trainer showed a look of surprise on his face, and then shouted loudly:

"This crocodile is no ordinary bastard. Use 'Growth' quickly, and then immediately use 'Ultimate Absorption'!"

Upon hearing this, Venusaur stopped attacking and began to absorb the natural energy around it, and its aura became more solid.

"Yan Hui!"

Lu Ming also gave instructions at this moment, and the Hunhun Crocodile immediately took off on the spot, turned into a sharp cyclone, and rushed towards the Venus Flycatcher at a rapid speed.

"Pa~~"

The cyclone created by "Swallow Returns" hit the face of the Venus flytrap. The latter's skin immediately wrinkled into a circle, and then the whole body spun and smashed into the mud.

However, as Venusaur endured the attack, a layer of yellow light appeared on its body, and its momentum suddenly increased significantly.

This is a sign that the "Growth" skill is taking effect, and Venusaur's attack and special attack will be temporarily increased.

Seeing this, the security guard was unwilling to waste the enhancement he had paid a price for, and immediately shouted:

"Don't let it escape, use "Ultimate Drain" to suck it dry!"

Upon hearing this, Venusaur ignored the severe pain in its body and stretched out its vines to bind the crocodile tightly.

But at the next moment, when he saw the dense green light condensing in the mouth of the Venus Flycatcher, intending to use "Ultimate Absorption" to absorb the physical strength of the Hooligan Crocodile, the corners of Lu Ming's mouth actually curled up slightly, and he said:

"Dragon Tail!"

The green light covered the long tail of the Hun Hun crocodile and quickly stretched it out.

"Oh no! Throw that bastard crocodile out!"

But before the security guard could finish his words, the "dragon tail" surrounded by green light had already hit the Venus flytrap heavily.

"Touch~~"

Suddenly, the amazing elasticity of the "Dragon Tail" took effect, and not only was Venusaur blown away, but its body was also wrapped in a layer of silver light, and then it shot back to the security guard's Poké Ball along the same path it came.

This is the side effect of "Dragon Tail". If the target is a wild Pokémon, it can be whipped and sent flying far away.

If the target is a Pokémon with a trainer, you can even knock it back into the Poké Ball, resetting the previous enhancements to zero.

If it is a formal competition, the trainer can also immediately replace a Pokémon.

But in this kind of wild battle situation, if the trainer only has one combat Pokémon, it would be very dangerous.

As expected, after Venusflower was pulled back into the ball by Dragon Tail, the Poké Ball containing the former was also affected by the residual energy and trembled for a while, and could not be opened immediately.
