Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

After the two left, Lu Ming said to Lu Hui, "I recently captured another elf, and I need to borrow your illustrated guide."

"I've captured another one! My goodness, did you win the lottery, or are you being kept by someone? Doesn't it cost money to raise a Pokémon?"

Despite his complaints, Lu Hui still handed over the illustrated book immediately.

Name: Big Rock Snake

Attributes: Rock, Ground

Ability: Shattered Armor

Gender: female

Skills: Bind, Rockfall, Knockdown, Harden, Rock Grind, Dragon's Breath, Incantation, Rock Slide, Quicksand Abyss, Invisible Rock, Hot Sand Land

“Not only is it a different color, but it also has a hidden trait. But I didn’t expect it to be a female snake!

If it evolves into Steelix, it will become "forced", not bad, not bad~~."

Chapter 90 Enron

The next morning, Lu Ming was already doing special training with the ultrasonic larvae before the competition.

But on the rocky ground in the villa yard, the ultrasonic larvae were seen flying up and down, their thin wings vibrating at a high frequency, making the surrounding space blurry.

It changes its position rapidly and continuously, dodging the rocks that may come from all directions at any time.

Often, as soon as it changes position, a new rock will be shot in front of it, forcing it to move continuously without any pause.

The one who caused all this was a telekinetic clay doll floating beside Lu Ming.

The red light in its Dharma eyes was dazzling, controlling countless rocks to chase the ultrasonic larvae.

Finally, under its simultaneous manipulation of all the rock masses, the ultrasonic larvae were forced into a dead end and could no longer retreat.

"Touch~~"

At the critical moment, the latter condensed his claws into green "dragon claws", easily tearing apart the two largest rocks in front of him and breaking out.

However, following closely behind were more rocks controlled by mental forces.

The ultrasonic larva transfers energy to its tail as it sprints forward.

Suddenly, its tail was covered with a layer of green light, quickly stretched out, and then it whipped the remaining rocks away like a whip of a spinning top.

These rocks were bounced off by the "dragon's tail" and immediately fell to the outside world like flowers scattered by fairies.

However, this is the center of Nibi City, so Lu Ming would naturally not do such a conspicuous thing.

The powerful and exquisite thoughts of the telekinetic clay doll spread out, easily stopping the rock mass that was spreading in all directions, and then retracting it all.

"Hmm~, not bad, I have mastered both the "Dragon Claw" and the "Dragon Tail"!

Back then, the Dragon Mother taught Crocodile this move, and I didn't expect the latter to pass it on to his own child."

Seeing the yellow-haired Axe-toothed Dragon from Hezhong at the scene yesterday gave Lu Ming a little surprise.

But it was just surprise, not pressure, let alone a sense of urgency.

After all, he is not here to compete for first place this time, as long as the results are acceptable, it will be fine.

Besides, he already has two "senior-level" elves, the Psychic Doll and the Rogue Crocodile.

His true strength has long been far behind these young "geniuses", so he doesn't even have much desire to defeat them.

However, although he is a "senior-level" trainer, he has no intention of competing with those "excellent-level" trainers.

But when he told the Ultrasonic Larva about his idea of ​​just getting a ranking, the latter, who was usually easy to talk to, showed great dissatisfaction and seemed to blame Lu Ming for underestimating him.

Especially after learning from Lu Ming that there was another Axe-toothed Dragon of similar level in the competition with it as the main character, he became very excited and trained even harder.

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel that he had indeed ignored the elf's thoughts.

"Well, alright! Since you're so determined, then give it your all. At least give that Axefang Dragon a showdown."

With this in mind, Lu Ming took out a square box from his backpack, which contained the "ground gems" recently obtained through sacrifice, all of which were of intermediate quality.

With his current strength, capturing "excellent-level" elves is a piece of cake. Once he encounters one, there is basically no way to escape.

He planned to exchange these "ground gems" for "dragon gems" before the competition and then give them to the ultrasonic larvae to absorb.

After all, although the ultrasonic larvae's balance between the two energies is not as serious as that of the rogue crocodile, there is still an imbalance.

If you can absorb a few mid-level quality "Dragon Gems" before the game, not only will your strength be further improved, but your condition will also be better.

The Nibi Auction House is located in the city center. Its overall style is the same as other buildings in Nibi City, with dark gray rock as the main tone, giving people a calm and heavy feeling.

Next to the Nibi Auction House, there is the largest ancient biological science museum in Kanto, as well as the powerful Nibi Gym.

These three huge buildings stand in a corner, and are the well-deserved landmarks of Nibi City. They are also a must-see place for tourists from other places.

However, Lu Ming had no interest in studying ancient elves, nor did he want to challenge the gym. He just took a look as he passed by and then walked into the Nibi Auction House.

The Nibi Auction House is worthy of being the largest exchange in the entire northeast and east of Kanto. Not only does it cover a huge area, but it also sells a wide variety of goods, almost everything you could want.

Not only are there a wide variety of elf props, energy blocks and high-level secrets of various attributes, but even many rare elves from Kanto are for sale.

The most numerous of them are the rock-attribute elves, which are the most popular locally.

Lu Ming looked up and saw that Pokémon like Saltstone, Crystal Bud, and the electric-type Geodude unique to the Alola region could all be found here.

He even found several ammonites and fossil helmets that were displayed in prominent locations and sold at high prices.

"Tsk tsk~~, this is truly worthy of being the Nibi Auction House. The technology for resurrecting fossilized elves has only just appeared, and they're already selling them as commodities."

Lu Ming was amazed and walked all the way to the gem exchange area at the back. Seeing an empty counter, he sat down directly.

"Hello, can I exchange for intermediate gems here?"

Sitting opposite Lu Ming was a woman who looked to be around 25 years old, wearing a black uniform that highlighted her sexy figure.

When she heard that Lu Ming wanted to exchange for intermediate gems, she was slightly surprised and said:

"Yes, I wonder what attribute you need to exchange?"

"I have three mid-level 'ground gems' and I want to exchange them all for dragon attributes."

Upon hearing this, the smile on the lady's face immediately became more enthusiastic.

Even at the Nibi Auction House, the vast majority of gem exchange business every day is still based on the primary level.

Anyone who can produce three intermediate gems at once, even if he is not rich, at least proves his strength.

In the elf world, the two are often equated.

In addition, Lu Ming is a complete stranger in the auction house. If he can establish a familiar relationship with him, it will definitely be of great help to his performance in the future.

Thinking of this, the lady at the counter handed over a business card and said in an almost numb voice:

"Hello, my name is Anran. I'm happy to serve you. If you need anything in the future, please let me know directly. I can also deliver to your door."

"However, the market price of the Dragon Gem is higher, so we may have to charge a 10% difference."

"Sure, please help me with it!"

The Nibi Auction House is worthy of being the trading hub of the east, west, and north of Kanto, and the trading process is extremely formal.

An Ran took Lu Ming to a special private room and exchanged three "Ground Gems" for a difference of more than 30,000 Alliance Coins for three "Dragon Gems"!

If it were at Qingyuan Mall, this deal would never have been possible because they had no stock of intermediate gemstones, let alone dragon-attributed ones.

But in Nibi City, people easily took out three intermediate "Dragon Gems" without any pressure at all.

Afterwards, Lu Ming proposed to buy some gems and energy blocks with other attributes.

After hearing this, An Ran found a sofa for Lu Ming to sit on, and then she diligently ran errands for him. In a short while, she had gathered all the necessary items.

"Excuse me for waiting, sir. Here are all the items on the list. The total cost is 170,000 yuan!"

Nothing related to elves comes cheap. Lu Ming had anticipated this and paid the money readily.

But just as he turned to leave, he saw An Ran, who didn't know what she had seen, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her flattering face.

Chapter 91 Yueyin

Lu Ming followed An Ran's gaze and saw the two of them walking into the auction hall.

One of them was a tall, middle-aged man who carried the aura of someone who had long held a high position.

As for the other person, he was a young man with silver hair who looked about the same age as Lu Ming.

As the two of them entered, they attracted many gazes and whispers from the surrounding area.

"These two are!"

"Sir, you may not know this, but that gentleman is the Chief Inspector of our Nibi City. And that silver-haired boy is his only son—Yue Yin!"

“Is he famous?”

"Master Yueyin is a very talented trainer. Although he has only been a trainer for a short time, he already has several extremely talented Pokémon.

It is said that he has also signed up for the Nibi City tryouts, and his partner Pokémon is his original Pokémon - Growlithe!

"Katie, it seems the other person Xiaohui mentioned is him." Lu Ming then asked:

"Since you have such a background, why bother participating in any selection competition? Can't you just directly train your successor?"

Hearing this, An Ran showed a strange look and said, "Sir, you are really joking. How could there be such a thing as nepotism and sons inheriting their father's business in the alliance?"

"Yes, I made a mistake. The alliance has equal opportunities, and high positions are naturally occupied by those with ability!

Just like this selection competition, isn't it open to us grassroots trainers?"

Lu Ming reacted and thought that the main purpose of this selection competition was to pave the way for some second-generation players.

For the sake of reputation and example, the alliance naturally cannot make positions hereditary.
