Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

Since they are able to cultivate "excellent" elves at this age, their families are naturally quite well-off.

But they didn't expect that Lu Ming, who was about the same age as them, not only had two "excellent-level" elves, but also that the combat power of each elf was stronger than theirs.

Especially the other two boys, who had seen that Lu Ming came from a poor family, had judged that his ability must not be good enough and even looked down on him in their hearts!

Unexpectedly, today, I had to rely on others' help to save my life, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

Lu Ming didn't care about their thoughts. If his cousin wasn't here, he wouldn't take such a big risk even if the trophy was a "senior-level" elf!

Looking at the unconscious man at his feet, Lu Ming said, "I have some impression of this man. He seems to be on the alliance's wanted list. The reward is higher than the one you arrested before. It can be exchanged for at least hundreds of thousands. Take him back and divide it up."

"But what about that 'senior-level' Rhydon? Are you planning to keep it all for yourself?" the fat red-haired man said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Well, if we hadn't worked together to contain and consume the enemy's energy, you wouldn't have been able to defeat the "senior-level" elf alone." The boy with glasses also chimed in.

Hearing this, before Lu Ming could speak, his cousin Lu Hui spoke first:

"That's not the case. My brother did put in the most effort just now, and everyone can see that.

Besides, this wanted criminal was out to get revenge on us, so we owe my brother a favor just by being able to save our lives."

"I think what Ah Hui said makes sense. Besides, the reward for this fugitive is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The four of us can already split a lot."

Although they were still a little unconvinced, they immediately lost their temper and stance when they saw that Lu Ming's Rogue Crocodile and Ultrasonic Larva were in good condition, while their own elves had been crippled.

"Okay, okay~ Anyway, Xiaoyu, you and Lu Hui are getting along so well now, it looks like you're almost a family!"

The two of them grumbled a few times in dissatisfaction, then quietly went to apply medicine to the Sandsanger and the Ironclad Rhinoceros.

Chapter 48: Shuiliuwei and Hualan Competition

Lu Ming took the elf containing the "senior-level" Rhydon into his arms, then remembered something and asked his cousin Lu Hui:

"Xiao Hui, I've seen some trainers registered with the league before. They all have Pokedex. I wonder if you have one?"

Hearing this, Lu Hui immediately understood what was going on and quickly took out a red electronic product and said:

"Yes, all trainers registered with the league can obtain the Pokémon Pokédex issued by the league when they get their initial Pokémon."

Lu Ming looked at the red atlas with some envy, even though he was already quite strong and financially well-off.

However, as a "wild trainer" who has not been registered with the League, he cannot obtain the Pokémon Pokédex that is monopolized by the League.

Fortunately, he has a cousin who successfully got ashore, so he can take advantage of this atlas!

"Brother, you want to see the information of the elves, right? It's okay, there are no restrictions on its use."

Lu Hui saw what Lu Ming was thinking and took the initiative to hand the illustrated book to the latter.

Lu Ming nodded, and put the Ultrasonic Larva and Crocodile back into the Poké Ball, and scanned them with the former's Pokédex:

Name: Ultrasonic Larva

Attributes: Ground, Dragon

Gender: male

Ability: Float

Skills: Sand Throw, Scare, Bite, Mud Throw, Quicksand Abyss, Stomp, Dig, Rock Blockade, Round Song, Ultrasonic Wave, Screech, Dragon Breath, Insect Chirp, Swallow Return, Ultimate Absorption, Surprise Attack

Hereditary: The Wind Rises

…………

Name: Crocodile

Attributes: ground, evil

Gender: male

Ability: Intimidate

Skills: Sand Throwing, Glaring, Tile Breaking, Malicious Pursuit, Quicksand Abyss, Horrible Face, Stomping, Bite, Digging, Unreasonable, Rock Blockade, Swallow Return, Dragon Tail, Dragon Claw, Crushing

Genetics: Water Tail (unactivated)

"Huh~, there are so many skills that I don't know about. Maybe I'm not proficient in using them yet, so I haven't shown them yet.

Wait, what is this? The gangster crocodile actually inherited the "water tail"!

But it seems that because it has not activated its own water-attributed energy element, it has not yet manifested! "

This is the magic of the atlas. It can scan the genetic energy of the elves in the form of data and check the detailed information of the elves.

Just like now, Lu Ming realized that the two elves had unknowingly mastered the skills of "surprise attack" and "bite".

What particularly shocked him was that the crocodile actually had a genetic skill! — "Water Tail"!

It is probably because he still lacks the elemental energy of water attribute, so it has not appeared yet.

If I hadn't borrowed my cousin's illustrated book today, I don't know how long this trick would have been covered in dust!

In response to this, Lu Ming quickly made a plan, thinking of letting the gangster crocodile master the "Water Tail" as much as possible before the joint mission!

Water is a very important attribute, but his two elves currently do not know water-attribute moves.

If the Gangster Crocodile can successfully trigger the "Water Tail" this time, it can greatly increase the attack surface.

With this in mind, Lu Ming had no intention of exchanging pleasantries. He simply returned the atlas to Lu Hui and told him not to tell anyone about his current true strength before rushing back.

…………

After returning to Qingyuan Town, Lu Ming first went to the mission center and exchanged today's harvest for more than 10,000 Alliance Coins.

Then he changed his clothes and rushed to Qingyuan Mall, intending to buy some "Water Gems" to prepare for the practice of "Water Tail" for the gangster crocodile.

But as soon as he entered the Qingyuan Mall, the careful Lu Ming discovered that there seemed to be a lot of female trainers today, and they were all whispering about something.

Lu Ming walked straight to the jewelry counter and asked the waitress,

"Hello, I need some 'Water Gems'. How many do you have left?"

Since Qingyuan Town is only a small town with a population of over 100,000, the demand is limited.

Even though it is the only elf supplies store in the town, Qingyuan Mall does not prepare many gems of various attributes every day.

It was already late, and it was normal for gems of certain properties to be sold out.

The saleswoman looked up and was startled when she saw Lu Ming, then said:

"Sorry, all the 'Water Gems' are sold out."

"Oh~, what a coincidence! I'll come back tomorrow morning!"

"Sir, if you only want the 'Water Gem', I'm afraid you'll have to wait seven or eight days."

"It will only take seven or eight days! Why is that? Is there something wrong with your store's trade routes?"

The salesperson continued to explain with a smile, "Other gemstones are of course available, it's just that you came at an unfortunate time!

Look at these girls around you, they've already reserved the "Water Gem" in Qingyuan Town for several days!"

"Why is this?" Lu Ming asked puzzled.

"You may not know that the Cerulean City gym recently held a water-type Pokémon competition. Female trainers whose initial Pokémon was less than a year old can participate.

If you stand out in the competition, you can also enter the vision of the top management of the Cerulean Gym, become an apprentice of the Gym, and become a direct trainer of the alliance."

"I see! No wonder there are so many little girls here today!"

Hualan City is not far from Qingyuan Town and is a gym famous for its water-type Pokémon.

In addition, what makes this gym unique is that they only accept female trainers.

Such complex selection criteria have resulted in limited talent at the Hualan Gym, which has always been ranked last among the eight major gyms in Kanto.

At the same time, it is famous all over the world for its attraction to female trainers as apprentices and the bikini beauties water shows that it often holds.

This can be seen from the fact that so many little girls in the small town of Qingyuan signed up to participate in the competition.

One can imagine how many girls from all over Kanto rushed to Cerulean City to sign up for the competition.

Just when Lu Ming was lamenting that he needed the "Water Gem" and it was really unfortunate that the competition at the Hualan Gym was about to start, a familiar loud female voice sounded beside him.

"Hey~, isn't this the handsome guy he met at Yuejian Mountain? You came to buy something too!"

Lu Ming looked back and saw that it was the fat girl who called herself Ye Cang whom he had met before in Yuejian Mountain.

And beside her was still the beautiful girl, Si Yu, whom Lu Ming was not very willing to approach.

"Hey~, handsome guy, you came here, probably to buy attribute gems."

The girl was obviously a bit socially anxious (socially terrorist), and she started asking questions right away.

"Hmm~, I wanted to buy some Water Gems, but unfortunately I ran into this Cerulean Gym incident, so I had to go home empty-handed."

Because he had taken the "hard stone", Lu Ming was not willing to get too entangled with the two women, so he planned to leave after he finished speaking.

Unexpectedly, Ye Cang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said:

"Oh my, that's great."

"What did you say~"

"Sorry!" Si Yu behind him hurriedly pulled Ye Cang, then walked forward, leaned close to Lu Ming and whispered:

“It’s like this, Ye Cang and I’s Pokémon are both water-type, as you saw last time.

Yesterday, when we were practicing at a waterfall somewhere on Yuejian Mountain, we discovered that there was a water curtain cave behind the waterfall, which contained a large number of "water gems".

However, there was a powerful tigress living in the cave, and even if Ye Cang and I joined forces, we were no match for it.

If we weren't quite that far away at the time, we might not have made it back, but with your two "Excellent" elves, we have a pretty good chance of making it back."

After saying that, perhaps realizing that she was too close, Si Yu's pretty face turned slightly red and she shrank back slightly.

"Oh, this is true!" Lu Ming was shocked, then frowned slightly and said:

"In that case, why don't you tell this to a more powerful trainer instead of coming to me."

"Well, we're not stupid. If we find a powerful trainer, those Water Gems won't be of any use to us.

How about it? It's such a good thing, you're the one who wants to do it! "Ye Cang interrupted again and asked.
