Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

"Lord Xin Meng, if you don't give up on me, I will do my best in the future." Lu Ming immediately expressed his opinion.

"Alright, the first thing I'm going to give you is to keep an eye on that guy named Xiaosen during future missions. If he shows any abnormalities, report them to me immediately."

"I understand, my Lord, you don't trust him!"

"Don't trust him? No! I'm absolutely certain that this person must be a spy planted by a high-ranking official."

"A spy for senior officials!"

Lu Ming was shocked!

You know, a "senior-level" strongman like Xiong Jun is just a grassroots cadre of the Rockets.

Anyone who can be called a senior cadre is already on par with Apollo who is currently in charge of a key branch in Nibi City!

There are very few people in the Rockets who can be called senior cadres.

Especially since the disappearance of Boss Sakaki, the situation has almost divided up the territories and conflicts between them have become prominent.

Xiong Jun continued, "This Xiao Sen is young, but he is quite capable. Without the support of senior cadres, it would be difficult for him to reach this point.

Furthermore, although the plan to recreate Moon Bear was initiated by Boss Sakaki as a trial plan, it is not something that a small cadre could easily learn about.

Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel puzzled. Since he didn't trust Xiao Sen, how could he trust himself and let him keep an eye on him?

Perhaps seeing through Lu Ming's thoughts, Xiong Jun chuckled and said:

"Hehe~, you are wondering why I feel more at ease with you, right?

You are lucky too. Just before we set off on this mission, someone specifically greeted me and asked me to take good care of you!

Speaking of which, you have some ability and luck, to have caught the eye of that person.

And since that person believes you, I naturally won't make things too difficult for you."

"That one! Which one?"

Lu Ming was stunned when he heard this. He knew very well that he had absolutely no connections or background, so why was he suddenly treated preferentially?

But at this moment, he didn't have time to dwell on this issue, so he asked instead:

"But senior cadres are such powerful beings, why would they specially arrange for people to come to our humble Qingyuan Town!"

“Qingyuan Town is admittedly insignificant, but it has the best quality peat bog in all of Kanto. Otherwise, why would I have worked here for so many years?

What they wanted, of course, was to hear about the research progress on "peat blocks."

“Peat lumps are so important!”

"Haha~, do you know how many core members of Team Rocket own Teddy Bears?

Now, several senior cadres are setting up their own small factions everywhere.

If we can successfully research "peat blocks" for Lord Apollo, it will surely attract many powerful members from other cadres to join us.

And by then, Lord Apollo's wish to reunite Team Rocket will be one step closer to success.

Well, these things are still too far away for you, just keep them in mind. But there is one thing I can tell you in advance.

Before long, our Qingyuan Town will hold a joint operation with several surrounding towns, and only official team members are eligible to participate.

Our town branch just suffered a heavy blow from the Alliance and is short on manpower. Please try to make some preparations during this time."

Chapter 45: Final Absorption and Team-Wrecking Crisis

Four days later,

Somewhere on Mount Moon.

"Ultrasonic Larva, use "Ultimate Drain" on the Rumble Stone again!"

As Lu Ming's voice fell, a green energy light condensed from the mouth of the flying ultrasonic larva.

Although it still seemed a bit blocked and slow, this move filled with grass-type energy was indeed successfully condensed.

Then, the ultrasonic larva ejected a mouthful of green energy, which landed accurately on a Rumble Stone that was spinning in circles inexplicably.

It was obvious that the Rumble Stone had been mentally confused by the "ultrasound" and was unable to dodge and could only let the energy fall on it!

The next moment, pure grass-attribute energy burst out and spread over Longlong Stone, completely wrapping its round body.

Due to its own combination of ground and rock attributes, Rhydon had to withstand four times the power of the move at this moment, and immediately fell headfirst, unconscious.

However, the green energy wrapped around its body miraculously returned to its original path after being destroyed and returned to the body of the ultrasonic larva.

Suddenly, a powerful life force filled the ultrasonic larva's body, and the latter showed a look of enjoyment.

The traces of battle on his body gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but let out a refreshing and satisfied cry!

"Hmm~, not bad. After these few days, I have finally mastered the "Ultimate Absorption".

While increasing the attack surface, it also has a certain recovery and endurance capabilities.

This way, we'll have an extra trump card for the upcoming joint mission!"

After Rhydon lost its combat capability, Lu Ming came over with Crocodile, put it into the Poké Ball, and waited to return to sacrifice it!

Speaking of which, he has been lucky these past few days. While training the Ultrasonic Larvae's "Ultimate Absorption", he is still trying to capture Pokémon, which is quite fruitful.

Including the Rhythm that had just reached the "Excellent Grade", he had obtained a total of five intermediate-grade "Ground Gems" just by sacrifice.

And if you count the elves that were sold, he still earned more than 30,000.

The reason why he had such a great harvest was that he was confident in his own strength and continued to go deeper into Yuejian Mountain.

Although his current position was not yet in the real deep area, he was already at the edge of the junction between the outer and inner areas of Yuejian Mountain.

Ordinary trainers don't dare to set foot here, so the quality of wild Pokémon is naturally good.

As for the "ultimate absorption" skill that the ultrasonic larvae learned, it was taught by the giant flower that he captured in the peat swamp.

To this end, he first defeated the Venus flytrap and promised to let it go after he learned the trick, and then he finally made this happen.

Fortunately, the ultrasonic larvae had some talent for this move, and they were equipped with a "big rhizome" that could assist in learning absorption skills, so they were able to master it in such a short time.

Of course, in order to help the ultrasonic larvae feel the grass attribute skills, Lu Ming also spent tens of thousands of Alliance coins and bought several "Grass Gems" as auxiliary.

Over the past few days, the ultrasonic larvae consumed all the "Grass Gems", and the gangster crocodile also consumed all the remaining "Evil Gems".

Even the four intermediate-level "ground gems" that Lu Ming had obtained through sacrifice were divided equally between the two.

Such astonishing consumption is naturally exchanged for real improvements.

With the supply of resources, the two elves' strength increased rapidly. Not only did their energy level become much deeper, but their physical fitness also improved a lot.

Lu Ming estimated that with their current strength, if they faced Xiao Sen's Circle Bear and Crow Leader again, they should not be at a disadvantage as easily as before.

This also gave him more confidence in the upcoming joint mission of the towns.

After putting away the Poké Ball containing the Rhythm, Lu Ming saw that it was getting late and he had gone quite deep, so he took the two Pokémon and started to return to the town.

The gangster crocodile still stayed not far from him, while the ultrasonic larva was responsible for observation and vigilance.

With the help of its super sonic capabilities, it can do this job much better than the Pidgeot ever did.

However, when they walked a distance, the ultrasonic larvae above their heads suddenly sensed something and flapped their wings to fly somewhere. Not long after, they turned back and kept buzzing at Lu Ming, as if they had discovered some important information.

Lu Ming understood and made a gesture to the gangster Crocodile to keep quiet and follow, then he carefully moved towards that direction.

In less than a moment, Lu Ming could clearly sense the sound of a fierce battle going on ahead.

He, the gangster crocodile and the ultrasonic larvae lurked in the direction of the battle, crouched behind a huge rock and quietly peeked around, and actually saw several familiar faces.

"Xiaohui!"

I saw that there were five people fighting on both sides, including four young men on one side and a tall and strong man who looked ferocious on the other side.

And those four young men were the team his cousin Lu Hui belonged to. They used four "excellent-level" elves, and the lineup was quite good. No wonder they could cooperate for so long.

My cousin Lu Hui uses a mosquito coil, while his girlfriend Xiaoyu uses a poisonous and grass-type stinking flower. I wonder if it has anything to do with his own herbal medicine shop.

As for the fat boy with red hair and the man with glasses, they used an armored rhinoceros and a sandalwood respectively!

The four of them had similarly powerful spirits, all possessing "Excellent" strength.

Judging from their current age, they can be considered a group of outstanding young people in Qingyuan Town.

But even so, they were still suppressed by the ferocious man, who only used one elf.

The elf's body was like a large ball covered in rock, with its head protruding from the center. Each of its hands had three fingers, and each of its feet had five, all with sharp nails.

Lu Ming was very familiar with this Pokémon. It was the evolved form of the Rhydon he had just captured - Rhydonite!

Unlike before its evolution, Rhydon has orange eyes, and its face is no longer rock-like, but more turtle-like.

However, compared to the "excellent-grade" Rhydon that Lu Ming had previously subdued, this Rhydon's strength was obviously much stronger.

Judging from his aura, he has even reached the "senior level"!

If it weren't for the fact that the elves of Lu Hui and his three companions happened to more or less restrain the Rumble Stone, which had ground and rock attributes, making the latter a little hesitant, they would have been defeated by now.

But even so, their situation is very critical and it seems that they are about to be wiped out.

Chapter 46: Siege of the Veteran (Part )

"You little brats are quite capable, no wonder my brother fell into your hands.

But being able to kill you, the future trainers of the Alliance, in the cradle is also an explanation to him."

The rough voice of the Rhydon trainer came, as if it had sentenced several people to death.

No wonder he was so arrogant, the energy fluctuations released by the Rhydon fighting under his command had surprisingly reached the "senior level".

"Everyone, don't give up. Although this Rhydon is a 'senior-level', judging by his aura, he should have only been promoted a few days ago.

We still have the advantage in attributes. As long as our formation doesn't get messed up, he won't be able to defeat us for a while. Who knows, there might be a turning point."

Lu Hui shouted loudly, both to reassure his companions and the elves, and to cheer himself up.

"Haha~, I didn't expect that you, a young boy, still have such good vision.
