Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

As for how to break into the league, there is a ready-made opportunity now.

The city of Nibee announced that it would hold a Pokémon battle competition to select outstanding trainers from the public.

If you participate in this competition, you don't need to use the power of the Psychic Doll. The current strength of the Hooligan Crocodile or the Ultrasonic Larva is enough to achieve good results."

At this time, Mr. Xiong did not know that the gangster crocodile had evolved into a rogue crocodile and had also reached the "senior level".

However, Lu Ming had already made up his mind, which was to only use the ultrasonic larvae to participate in the competition. With its current strength, it would be easy for it to play in an ordinary selection competition.

And if any trouble really happens, there are two "senior-level" elves as a backup, so it should not be difficult to escape unscathed.

But this matter is risky after all, and the alliance's configuration in Nibi City is not as simple as Qingyuan Town.

What's more, the Nibi Gym, which is feared by all, is located there. Lu Ming felt that he had to get some benefits no matter what, so he said with a conflicted look:

"To be honest with you, Lord Xiong, the Rockets are facing a crisis right now, and I dream of contributing more to the organization.

But I only regret that I am not strong enough. If anything goes wrong, I will be blamed for it myself, but if I delay the adults' plan, I will be blamed for it."

"Alright~~, you don't have to act like that. Lord Apollo has always been clear about rewards and punishments and generous.

When you go to Nibi City and become his direct subordinate, you will naturally understand.

As for me, I do have something to give you as a parting gift."

As he spoke, Xiong Jun took out two books, a large box, and a stack of banknotes from his backpack and handed them to Lu Ming, saying:

"There are two books here, one is the move "Hold On" and the other is my experience in raising the baby bear all the way to Circle Bear.

What is contained in this box is the energy block that I configured that is most suitable for the baby bear. The formula for the subsequent Circle Bear stage is also recorded in the breeding experience.

As for these 200,000 Alliance Coins, consider them my personal allowance for your mission."

Lu Ming was very satisfied with these gifts, especially his eyes lit up when he heard the name of the secret book.

"Hold on!"

This is a very special set of Normal-type moves. When the Pokémon is in a state of "burn" or "paralysis", its power is doubled.

What surprised Lu Ming was that this trick might not be so practical for ordinary elves, but it was an indispensable trick for the baby bear's future.

If it weren't for Xiong Jun's gift now, he would have found a way to get this set of secret books in the future.

Because after the baby bear evolves into the Circle Bear, it will have the "Perseverance" trait.

Not only can it avoid attack weakening in the "burn" state, but it can also greatly enhance the attack.

He now possesses the "Flame Orb". If he can also master the "Hard Endurance" which has the bonus of this system, the attack power that Circle Bear can unleash in the future will be very astonishing.

"I heard from Aqiang that you also tamed a baby bear, and it has the "pick up" attribute, which is just right for this set of skills.

Judging from your theoretical performance when you joined the team, I don't think I need to explain the "hold on" strategy to you in detail.

In addition, although the "Flame Orb" is rare, Team Rocket also has it in stock.

As long as you follow Master Apollo and work hard, you will soon be able to accumulate points for redemption."

Lu Ming naturally didn't bother explaining. He already had the "Flame Orb" long before he got the bear cub, so he quickly thanked him:

"Thank you, Lord Xiong, for your care. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope to work with you again."

"Alright, I just said it before long, you and I will both be grassroots cadres at the same level, so there's no need to be so polite.

Also, although you are going to Nibi City and will soon become Apollo-sama's subordinate, if there is a breakthrough in the "peat block" research, I will still make arrangements for you first."

Hearing this, Lu Ming actually felt a little grateful, although it was impossible for him to tell Xiong Jun that he had obtained the real "peat block".

But if I wait until the future and have the strength to not be afraid of the secret being exposed, I can also leave a piece for him so that he can witness Yueyue Xiong's dream come true with his own eyes.

However, if that day really comes, I am afraid that Xiong Jun will become my subordinate.

"Alright~, there are still about ten days until the Nibi City trials, so go back and prepare.

Also, I have given your information to Lord Apollo. He will contact you after you successfully enter Nibi City."

In the Rockets, the identities of cadres like Xiong Jun are kept strictly confidential from their subordinates.

However, they have detailed information about their ordinary members, which is also a means to prevent them from rebelling and surrendering to the enemy.

Chapter 86 Arrogant at first and respectful at the end

A piece of yellow land with sparse weeds, and gray stones of different sizes and shapes can be seen everywhere.

Suddenly, the originally calm ground began to rumble and shake, and a huge rock snake swam towards them.

This giant rock snake is different from its ordinary gray counterparts. Instead, its entire body is a dazzling golden color.

Under the scorching sun, its stone body appears to be dazzling.

It came to the pile of rocks, and using its affinity for rock properties to feel around a bit, it locked onto one of the unusual gray stones, and then lashed out with its giant tail.

"Pa~~"

The round gray stone was whipped back by the giant tail, and it stopped after smashing two rocks in succession, revealing the appearance of a rumbling stone.

Longlongshi's body was hard. Even after receiving such a heavy blow, he just shook his body for a moment before returning to normal. He then angrily counterattacked the attacker.

It jumped slightly with its legs, and released a layer of ochre-colored energy ripples the moment it landed, which rushed towards the golden rock snake along the ground like waves.

Although Onix has a huge body, its racial talent in attack is not as good as that of Rhydon of the same level.

But the next moment, the golden rock snake's body shook, and it actually created a "quicksand abyss" in front of it!

The "quicksand abyss" made the thick ground as loose as water, and actually cut off the energy of the "collapse", preventing it from being transmitted.

Seeing that the attack failed, Longlong Stone became even more angry. It immediately turned into a ball emitting stone-brown energy and shot up, rushing towards the face of the golden rock snake.

The latter did not dodge. Green energy condensed from its huge mouth, and then a "dragon breath" spurted out, hitting the "rolling" Rumbling Stone head-on.

Immediately afterwards, after a stalemate between the blue light column and the stone-brown sphere, the "paralysis" effect was triggered.

A golden arc of electricity flashed across the body of the Rumble Stone, and the "paralysis" caused it to lose the state of the "rolling" skill, and it was smashed down by the blue light column.

And the place where it landed was right in the "quicksand abyss" created by the golden onix before, and it was instantly swallowed up by the violently stirred sand pool.

Seeing that Longlongshi was enduring the wear and tear of the quicksand and trying desperately to escape, the golden rock snake would naturally not let him go easily.

"Howl~~"

Its huge python body raised its head and roared. The ground around it suddenly turned into desert, and began to emit boiling steam, which soon turned red.

"Hot sandy land!"

This is a ground-based skill, but it also contains fire energy.

The scorching hot sand formed a red sandstorm tornado, which sucked in the Rumblestone that was trying to escape, causing it to let out a heart-wrenching howl.

Although Onix's special attack ability is terrible, fortunately Rhydon's special defense is better than nothing, and combined with the attribute restraint, the effect is quite good!

When the red sand settled, the already weakened Longlong Stone was revealed.

At the same time, the "paralysis" effect still exists, making it difficult for the latter to move forward, and defeat is only a matter of time.

After being beaten to this extent, Longlongshi dared not stay any longer. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the "paralysis" effect was interrupted, he immediately used the "digging hole" skill to escape.

However, the next moment, the golden rock snake formed a big red "X" in front of it, and fell on Longlongshi's head and face.

This is exactly the "blocking the road" skill.

Suddenly, a strange energy connected the two, and it was difficult to leave unless one side was defeated.

Longlongshi realized that this giant rock snake was going to kill him all, and finally he had the idea of ​​dying together with him. The dazzling silver light suddenly covered his whole body!

"big Bang!"

In the blink of an eye, the golden rock snake was covered with a layer of strange black and purple energy just before Rumblestone decided to self-destruct.

When the shock wave of the "big explosion" began to spread, two lights, one blue and one yellow, appeared on the body of the golden rock snake at the same time.

What Onix uses is naturally "curse", which is a very special skill.

If it is performed by a ghost-type Pokémon, it will consume half of the opponent's physical strength and continuously wear down and consume the opponent's physical strength.

If it is performed by a non-ghost elf, it will damage its speed ability to a certain extent while improving its own attack and defense.

Onix's defense ability is already strong, and now it is enhanced by the "curse", which allows it to remain calm in the face of the "Big Bang".

After a long time, when the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, the huge body of the golden rock snake was still standing upright, and it seemed that it had not suffered any serious injuries.

"Howl~~"

Seeing Longlongshi lying on the ground after being defeated by him, the golden rock snake roared to the sky and felt infinite pride.

"That's enough! It's just a newly promoted Rumblestone. Defeating it is part of our job. There's nothing to be proud of."

As the sound came from the air, a telekinetic clay doll slowly fell from the air and hung in front of the golden rock snake, with a human youth sitting on it.

The originally ambitious golden rock snake lowered its head like a deflated ball when it saw the person coming, with a flattering smile on its huge head.

The person who came was Lu Ming. The battle just now was an opponent he discovered on the way to Nibi City in order to understand Onix's actual combat capabilities.

At this time, three days had passed since Lu Ming received the transfer order to Nibi City.

In the past three days, in addition to allowing the elves to expand their skill pools, he also completely subdued the golden onix.

Originally, he was planning to slowly wear down the Golden Onix's temper and prepare for a protracted war.

However, he did not expect that after waking up and seeing two "senior-level" elves, Rogue Crocodile and Telekinetic Clay Doll, beside Lu Ming, he slid to his knees at the speed of light.

Although it has no legs, it does not affect its expression of loyalty.

Although Lu Ming didn't have much confidence in its current loyalty, he was relieved to find it was rare to meet such an elf who knew the current affairs.

After further understanding, he found that although this golden rock snake was very cowardly, and could even be said to be strong when facing the weak and timid when facing the strong, it seemed to have good talent.

Not only did he comprehend "Dragon's Breath" and "Hot Sand Earth" in the wild environment, he also inherited moves such as "Blocking the Road" and "Double-Edged Head Hammer". Even the hardness of his body is slightly stronger than that of Onix of the same level, making him a promising talent.

As for how to tie it completely to his chariot, Lu Ming was somewhat confident.

With a telepathic communication, after the telekinetic clay doll used its mental power to confirm that there was no one around, Lu Ming turned around and brought the golden rock snake into the desert space for the first time.

Before it could be surprised, the defeated Rhydon had been placed on the altar by the telekinetic clay doll using its mental power, and was eventually refined into a mid-level "ground gem".

Seeing this, the golden rock snake was both frightened and relieved.
