Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

Chapter 43 Exposed

"Dark Stone!"

Lu Ming's pupils trembled, and he shouted, "Stop him!"

Upon hearing this, the ultrasonic larva flapped its wings wildly, emitting tangible sound waves that shot towards Xiaosen and Dark Crow.

But just before the sound waves were about to cover Xiaosen and Murkrow, the Circle Bear who was fighting against the Hooligan Crocodile suddenly exerted force and pushed them back a long way.

Immediately afterwards, Circle Bear gathered all his strength, roared loudly, and also released a circle of "loud" sonic attacks, which dispersed the "ultrasonic waves" released by the ultrasonic larvae.

At this time, Komori had already pressed the "Dark Stone" on Murkrow's body.

The dazzling silver light covered the dark body of the Dark Crow. After just a moment, it appeared in a new image of a tall-backed crow about one meter tall.

The black crow, which had grown larger, flapped its wings and cried loudly. Its red tail spread out like a fluffy fan, and the thick black feathers on its head pressed down like a godfather's top hat. It looked like a gangster, and its aura was far stronger than before.

Seeing this, Lu Ming's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Xiao Sen would carry a "Dark Stone" with him.

But at this moment, Komori, who personally facilitated the evolution of Murkrow, did not look happy at all. Instead, he looked at Lu Ming with even more resentment.

It seems that he is either not satisfied with the quality of the current "Dark Stone", or he plans to wait until the level of Dark Crow is higher, and then use evolution to directly push it into the "senior level" ranks.

However, no matter what Xiao Sen’s plan was, it no longer mattered to Lu Ming because he was facing a more urgent situation.

Even if the timing for Murkrow's evolution is not yet perfect, even if the quality of this "Dark Stone" is a bit low.

But at this moment, the powerful aura that surged from the evolved crow's head was completely untrue.

Originally, the energy fluctuations, which were relatively weak due to the recent promotion, almost doubled, instantly catching up with the ultrasonic larvae, and were even slightly higher. After all, the racial value of the Crow Chief was there.

This is also thanks to the fact that the ultrasonic larvae and the gangster crocodiles consumed hundreds of thousands of resources in a short period of time recently, which greatly increased the energy and physical foundation of the two. Otherwise, Lu Ming's current situation would be even more difficult.

The next moment, the crow flapped its broad black wings, and a strong wind suddenly formed, sweeping towards the ultrasonic larvae.

Seeing this, the latter also used the same move, but the scale of the whirlwind he created was much smaller.

I saw two whirlwinds, one big and one small, spinning and mixing together, stirring up countless mud around them, as if it was raining mud.

After a moment of stalemate, the relatively thin whirlwind belonging to the ultrasonic larva was squeezed back, stirring the former as a whole, causing it to lose direction and stability for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the crow leader rushed forward and used his body, which had become stronger after evolution, to hit the ultrasonic larva.

The latter lost his balance and was hit by the Crow Leader. He fell backwards and hit a rock below.

Seeing this, Lu Ming came up with an idea and immediately shouted, "Hurry and dive into the swamp."

Upon hearing this, the ultrasonic larva dived down without hesitation, and the entire elf disappeared into the peat swamp.

The crow leader flew around in the air, looking down, and found that he could not identify the trace of the ultrasonic larvae. He did not waste any more time and rushed towards Lu Ming who was standing beside him.

But at this moment, several rocks suddenly condensed out of thin air in the air and smashed towards the crow head at the same time.

The latter was startled and immediately changed direction, trying to avoid the rocks.

However, the ultrasonic larvae used the "rock blockade" to condense several rock bodies, which, under its control, chased the Crow Leader like a maggot on his bones.

Seeing this, Xiao Sen showed a surprised expression and said, "How is it possible? How did the ultrasonic larvae hide in such a dense swamp and discern the movement trajectory of the crow leader?"

Obviously, the former seemed to be unfamiliar with Pokémon like the Ultrasonic Larvae.

At this critical moment, Lu Ming thought of his ultrasonic larvae, which possessed extraordinary sonic talent, and the turbid quagmire below.

So, he immediately thought of using the mud to hide the traces of the ultrasonic larvae, while the latter could still use its own sonic ability to capture the traces of the Crow Chief.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed into one where the enemy was in the open and we were in the dark, and the ultrasonic larvae completely controlled the rhythm of the attack.

Crow Chief is a Flying-type Pokémon and is very afraid of the "Rock Blockade" move. He couldn't find the location of the Ultrasonic Larva for a while, so he had to dodge left and right in a hurry.

But as the saying goes, a long defense leads to a loss. In the process of dodging, the Crow Leader was inevitably hit twice and suffered some damage.

But even so, Lu Ming did not feel at ease at all, because the battle between the hooligan crocodile and the circle bear had been going on for a long time.

After all, the Rogue Crocodile was much inferior in terms of energy level and physical fitness, and it had shown some difficulty in resisting until now.

At this moment, Lu Ming and Xiao Sen both held their breath. Judging from the situation, either of them could fall into the hands of the other.

However, just as the two sides were in a stalemate after a bitter fight, a voice came that made both of them feel a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"Okay, okay~ I never thought that in the end, I would still be such a fool who doesn't know how to use people wisely. I clearly have so many talented people under my command but I didn't realize it."

The two of them looked quickly and saw a giant silver bird falling from the sky. The bird was even bigger than the crow's head, and it looked like it was covered in a layer of armor!

"Armor Bird!"

The two took a closer look and found that the strength of the armor's aura was unfathomable, much higher than that of the Circle Bear, and had obviously reached the "senior level".

And on the back of the armored bird, there was a person wearing the familiar bear mask sitting there.

"Master Bear! This person clearly possesses the powerful Circle Bear, yet he pretends to be a reserve member. His behavior is truly suspicious.

I was just about to capture it and hand it over to you, my Lord, when I didn't expect you to come over!" Lu Ming said hurriedly.

"Hmph, this person's behavior is indeed questionable, but you are not innocent at all either.

The Gangster Crocodile evolved from the Black-Eyed Crocodile that I handed over to you at that time. Let's just say that you had some adventures during this period.

But what about that ultrasonic larva just now? Judging from your background, you can't possibly afford such a promising flying dragon spirit."

Lu Ming was startled and said quickly, "I dare not lie to Lord Xiong. This ultrasonic larva was captured by me by chance after I was ambushed in the East Suburbs Woods last time. I was so panicked that I hid in the deep area of ​​Yuejian Mountain."

"We'll talk about your business later!" The middle-aged Rocket Team cadre named Xiong Jun waved his hand, then glanced at Xiaosen and Kuma with a scrutinizing look and said:

"Indeed, you're so talented at such a young age, and you've raised Circle Bear so well. It seems like you have a strong background in the Chengdu branch!"

“Chengdu area!”

Lu Ming's heart moved, and he continued to look at Xiao Sen. He found that his eyes were evasive, and then he said in a helpless tone:

"Your Excellency is wise. I did come here from the Chengdu branch. Speaking of which, it's because the Rockets are currently in turmoil and management is in disarray.

I offended a top official there, so I had to change my identity and hide in Guandong.

Now that I have been recognized by you, I will no longer pretend to be anything more than you. From now on, I am willing to be commanded by you, Lord Xiong."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiong did not respond immediately. Instead, he glanced back and forth between Xiaosen and Circle Bear with a half-smile in his eyes and said:

"You said you came to Kanto because you offended your boss. Aren't you looking for a way to evolve Kumaon?"

"........."

Chapter 44: The Legend of the Moon Bear

"You came to the Kanto region to find a way to evolve the ursine!"

Xiong Jun's words immediately changed Xiao Sen's expression, and also caused a storm in Lu Ming's heart.

"Sure enough! Is there really a secret here that allows Circle Bear to evolve into Moon Bear?"

Xiao Sen could no longer hide the desire in his eyes, and he made up his mind and said:

"Lord Xiong, this is exactly why I came here. From now on, I will follow your lead and obey only you."

"Okay~, this is not the place to talk, just follow me, and you follow me too."

Finally, Mr. Xiong pointed at Lu Ming and flew away on the armored bird.

Hearing this, Lu Ming and Xiao Sen looked at each other and took back the Crocodile and Circle Bear at the same time.

Afterwards, the chief crow came to the top of Komori, grabbed the latter's shoulders with his claws, and flew in the direction of the bear.

Then, the ultrasonic larva flew out of the swamp, first flapping its wings to shake off the mud on its body.

Then, under Lu Ming's instructions, he stuck close to his back, carried him in his arms, and flew into the air to catch up.

Given the current size of the ultrasonic larva, it is naturally impossible for Lu Ming to ride it, nor can it carry him flying like this for a long time. It can only fly a certain distance.

Fortunately, Branch Chief Xiong Jun did not let the armored bird fly far away, and several of them soon landed on a cliff not far from the mudstone swamp.

Seeing the two of them following, Xiong Junxian said to Xiao Sen, "Since you've already heard about my research project, I think you should know what the long-extinct evolutionary form of the cygnus is called."

“I also saw it by chance in an ancient book. It seems to be called the Moon Bear. It is said that its ecological niche is extremely high.

As it happened, I had a Circle Bear in my hand at the time, so I thought it would be great if it could also evolve.

Afterwards, I read more about it and found out that the key to evolving into a moon bear is "peat blocks"!

But since when, the "peat blocks" in this world seem to have lost their original special energy, and there is no way to make the Circle Bear evolve anymore.

Originally, I had given up hope on this, but I happened to hear from a cadre in Chengdu that there was a research project on "peat blocks" and moon bears in Qingyuan Town, so I found an opportunity to sneak over.

All of this is just to give my Circle Bear a chance to recreate its historically powerful form. Please teach me, sir!"

"Well, you've told some truth." Xiong Jun nodded and continued:

“I might as well tell you that the reason I stayed in a small place like Qingyuan Town is precisely because I was obsessed with the transformation project of this “peat block”.

However, the current progress in optimizing peat blocks is limited, and it is unknown how long it will take to develop a successful product, especially given the organizational changes.”

Hearing this, Xiao Sen's eyes flashed with disappointment, but it was immediately replaced by determination, and then he said:

"Sir Bear, I sincerely pledge my loyalty to you. I also have a well-cultivated bear that I can use in my experiments. I hope you will give me a chance to serve you."

“Originally, if you want to participate in the research project I’m in charge of, you need to go through a series of assessments.

But you are lucky, kid. Now the organization’s manpower in Qingyuan Town has been reduced by 80% to 90%.

And you have some ability, so you can stay by my side and work for the time being.

If you work hard, your "peat block" project might even help your bear evolve once it's successful.

Xiao Sen was overjoyed and immediately knelt on one knee, swearing to be loyal to Mr. Xiong from then on.

The latter didn't care about it, waved his hand and said:

"Alright, go back and wait. You'll have a mission assigned to you soon. Then you can demonstrate your loyalty with your actions."

"Yes!"

Xiao Sen glanced at Lu Ming next to him with a complicated look, then sat on the back of the crow and flew away.

After he left, Xiong Jun looked at Lu Ming and said, "Do you know why I want you to stay?"

"Since Lord Bear mentioned the Moon Bear and the 'peat block' to me, I think he wants me to do something related to this!"

"Hmm~, not bad! As I just said, now that my core team is declining, I do have the intention of recruiting you."
