Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

And if you make it this far, you can basically be sure of getting a place in the selection.

According to Lu Ming's previous idea, he could completely give up the subsequent competitions.

However, after learning that the Ultrasonic Larva itself wanted to have a good fight, he decided to do his best to accompany it.

What's more, the ultrasonic larvae have reached the stage of being promoted, and now all they need is an opportunity.

And for some reason, he had a strong premonition that this opportunity might appear in this selection competition.

With this in mind, Lu Ming turned his head and glanced at the yellow-haired trainer of Axefang next to him.

When they saw each other, their eyes met. It turned out that the other party had the same feeling towards him.

"Perhaps this is the connection between dragon-attribute trainers!"

"I want to see who is the most powerful dragon rider here!"

When the two looked at each other, they confirmed the identity of each other's rival at the same time!

…………

Chapter 93: Twin Dragons Appear

Lu Ming advanced to the top 16, thus securing a spot on the Nibi City patrol team.

And the yellow-haired young man from Hezhong also easily reached this step with it.

As for Flora and Yueyin, the two second-generation ones, they are the only two among all the contestants who possess "senior-level" elves.

As long as they don't meet each other in the middle, it is impossible to be eliminated. All the opponents they meet along the way will surrender as soon as they come up.

In addition, Koji, whose partner is Pikachu, has also reached this point after overcoming all obstacles.

Yana was lucky. In the later games, the strength of the Tropical Dragon was already barely enough, but her final opponent happened to be using the Parasagus with Fighting and Grass attributes.

This time, the Tropical Dragon not only has the advantage of flying, but also has four times the restraint on the opponent. The most important thing is that the spores and dust that the Parasoma is proud of have no effect on the grass-type Tropical Dragon.

In the end, this red-haired girl unexpectedly made it into the top 16 and was qualified to be selected as a patrol member of Nibi City.

The sixteen qualified contestants stood still and began to be “randomly” matched with opponents for the next round.

The result was shocking. Lu Ming's next opponent was actually the Axetooth trainer from Unova. He didn't believe that this was all a coincidence.

Although, with the current strength displayed by Sonic Larva and Axetooth, they pose no threat to Windy and Blastoise.

But apart from these two second-generations, the rest of the contestants also have families that hold important positions in Nibi City.

Judging from the strength shown by all the contestants now, the third place in this selection will most likely be between him and this yellow-haired guy from Unova.

Although these people knew that the championship would definitely not go to their family, if they could just move their fingers a little, they could let Lu Ming and the Axefang trainer eliminate one of them first, thereby greatly increasing the probability of their children advancing, so they would naturally do it.

The yellow-haired trainer took the initiative to step forward with Axefang and said, "It seems that the next battle will be between us!

This is fine, since I've already qualified, the battle with those guys behind me is actually unnecessary!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Kaven, I come from Unova, and my goal is to become a powerful dragon master."

"What an amazing dream! I'm Lu Ming, a native of Kanto. Nice to meet you!"

Lu Ming and Kaven exchanged greetings for a while, then greeted Yana and Haoji respectively, encouraged them, and then took the ultrasonic larvae back to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's competition.

…………

The next day,

All the players who made it to the round of 16 have already secured their positions in Nibi City!

Lu Ming stood in the queue on the stage, feeling the scorching gazes from all around him.

The most intense gaze among them belonged to Kevin, who was about to start a battle.

But then, Lu Ming felt a different gaze looking at him again, it was Yana.

At this moment, the red-haired girl looked at him with a pitiful look of help.

Lu Ming was a little confused, then he took a quick look around and found that among the sixteen qualifiers, there was a young man who was giving him an undisguised malicious look.

Lu Ming made a gesture to Yana to calm down, which slightly eased the latter's worries.

When the game started, the first match was between Flora's Blastoise and Koji's Pikachu.

Unlike the previous players who surrendered directly when they met Blastoise, the hot-blooded Koji felt that he had to fight.

After all, his Pikachu was bred quite well and was equipped with an exclusive item that could multiply its power - the "Electric Ball".

But when they actually fought, Koji realized the gap between "excellent level" and "senior level".

Pikachu and Blastoise attacked at the same time, but the "100,000 Volts" was instantly suppressed by the "Water Cannon" and bounced back, knocking the former heavily out and hitting the rock behind it.

The rock quickly crumbled, and Pikachu continued to fly backwards, not stopping until it hit the arena fence.

At this time, Pikachu, who had only been hit by the opponent, had lost his ability to fight.

"So strong!" Lu Ming's pupils shrank slightly, and he secretly estimated how much chances of winning the rogue crocodile or the telekinetic clay doll would have if they met alone.

After this game, it was the turn of another championship candidate, Yue Yin.

Unfortunately, his opponent was not as stubborn as Koji and did not intend to challenge a higher level opponent. He surrendered on the spot, resulting in him not being able to see the performance of Arcanine.

Then, it was the turn of the little girl Yana to appear on the stage. Coincidentally, her opponent was the young man who had been staring at her covetously before.

"You don't deserve to be standing in this arena!" the man said with a frosty face.

"Did I offend you in any way?" Yana asked timidly.

"Hmph~, the trainer of the Parasaurolophus you eliminated with your Dragonite yesterday is my younger brother.

Your strength is not as good as his, you are just relying on your attribute advantage, this opportunity should have been his."

As he spoke, the young man released his companion, who turned out to be a toucan, whose aura was close to the peak level of "excellent grade".

In this game, Yana was at a complete disadvantage in terms of both attributes and levels.

"Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson. If you rely on luck to sit in a position that doesn't belong to you, you will definitely suffer backlash."

The young man's vicious side was revealed, and he planned to take advantage of the competition to take revenge on the girl who stole his brother's opportunity.

However, Yana's action the next moment stunned him!

"I surrender!"

Just like he said, Yana got to this point by luck. If she didn't have an obsession with the championship, surrendering would indeed save time and effort.

The young man was still looking for trouble, but he saw Yana running to Lu Ming in small steps.

He had seen the power of the ultrasonic larvae before, and now seeing Lu Ming protecting Yana, he had to suppress his anger temporarily.

After stepping down, the Toucan trainer walked up to a middle-aged man and said:

"This girl actually surrendered! I can only look for another opportunity next time."

“It doesn’t matter. Although I’m not a high-ranking official, I’ve been in the officialdom of Nibi City for so long, so I still have some connections.

We can do it more covertly and get this girl to voluntarily give up her spot before the end of the competition. Then your brother will still have hope."

The young man nodded and said, "But the trainer who used the Ultrasonic Larvae seemed to be determined to protect her."

“It doesn’t matter. Although this guy has some strength, he has no roots in Nibi City.

If we put a little pressure on him, he won't risk offending our family by protecting this girl."

After a small disturbance, it was finally Lu Ming's turn to play. He and Kevin nodded to each other, their eyes showing both seriousness and excitement.

Then two rays of light flashed at the same time, and two dragons appeared, and the heart-pounding dragon roars resounded throughout the venue.

…………

Chapter 94 Dragon War

The loud dragon roars resounded throughout the venue, and for a moment, the emotions of all the audience members fluctuated with the intertwined dragon roars.

"Oh my god! Is this the might of a dragon? I feel like my heart is about to burst out. And this is just the intermediate form. If it evolves to its full form, I wonder how powerful it will be."

"That's right. These two young men are only so young, but they already possess such a powerful dragon-type Pokémon. It's almost certain that they will become powerful warriors in the future."

The two elves hadn't made a move yet, but the atmosphere in the venue had already reached a climax.

Even Blastoise and Windy just now did not cause such an effect. Of course, this is also related to the hasty end of their game.

Whether it was the spectators or other contestants, they all stared intently at the impending battle between the two dragons.

Even Flora and Yueyin, who already possessed "senior-level" elves, looked very interested.

"What a pity! If they were a little stronger, they could have given me some challenges!

"It's just that this guy named Lu Ming gives me a sense of déjà vu!" Flora muttered softly.

Finally, the Axe-toothed Dragon moved first. It raised its claws and condensed dozens of rock bodies out of thin air, and pressed towards the ultrasonic larvae in different directions.

Faced with the ultrasonic larvae that have the advantage of flying, the Axetooth Dragon obviously intends to use "rock blockade" to restrict its movement.

"Hehe~, what a familiar move! But performing it in front of my elf feels a bit like showing off one's skills before an expert!"

Without Lu Ming's instructions, the ultrasonic larvae responded instantly.

It flew downwards at a high speed, dodging the two rocks in front of it while casting a "sandstorm" to try its best to cover its body.

The remaining rocks changed direction under the control of the Axetooth Dragon and smashed towards the ultrasonic larvae, but lost track of the target.

The slender body of the ultrasonic larva was completely hidden under the cover of the "sandstorm".

The next moment, before the Axe-tooth Dragon could respond, a whirlwind suddenly arose in the "sandstorm" that filled the entire field.

While the whirlwind blew away the sand around the ultrasonic larva, it also swept up all the surrounding "sandstorms" and quickly formed a yellow sand tornado.

This is a combination skill developed by Lu Ming with the Ultrasonic Larvae, combining "Sandstorm" and "Wind" to cause double damage.

The sand roll came roaring and instantly engulfed the Axetooth Dragon. While causing the original flying energy damage, it also added a sand attack.

Especially when engulfed and accelerated by a whirlwind, the power of the sand is even greater than that of a normal "sandstorm".

At this moment, the Axe-toothed Dragon had to close its eyes, and its hard scales were scratched by the raging sand, leaving fine sparks.

But the Axe-Tooth Dragon did not show weakness. Its right claw suddenly emitted green energy and it chopped out with a "dragon claw".
