Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

Could it be that Lord Apollo is using these spore elves for some important experiment? I wonder if the Alliance's last action has anything to do with this."

Lu Ming had just arrived and didn't know what the taboos were here, let alone what this research involved.

He didn't dare to ask and could only guess secretly in his heart. Soon he was taken to the depths of the base by the dream demon.

This is a place similar to a conference room, and a middle-aged man with green hair is sitting with his back to the front of the long table.

The chair turned around, revealing a face that had appeared in the news and newspapers. It was none other than Apollo, one of the highest-ranking executives of Team Rocket.

Chapter 99 Apollo and the Dragon's Fang

Apollo had short green hair and wore a silver-gray uniform suitable for senior officials. His eyes looked somewhat gloomy, yet he possessed the composure of a superior.

"Woo~~"

When the dream demon saw Apollo, he cried out in joy and immediately floated around him, circling around him.

Seeing the latter nodded at him, he immediately turned into a shadow and disappeared into the shadow under his feet.

"Not bad, not bad~~ Originally, Xiong Jun recommended you to me just as a casual move to break into Nibi City.

But I didn't expect that you gave me a surprise right at the beginning.

Telekinetic Clay Doll and Desert Dragonfly, at such a young age he already possesses two "senior-level" elves.

Whether in the league or on the Rockets, he is a junior who deserves to be developed."

Lu Ming showed a look of surprise and said, "I'm lucky today. I was able to evolve on the spot during the competition. But how did the adults..."

"Haha~~, after all these years, if we don't even have the ability to gather intelligence, how can our Rockets team thrive under the eyes of the league?"

"Lord Apollo is right. I am just surprised by what I have seen!"

"You don't have to be nervous. I originally planned to come find you after you finished your game and settled down.

But unexpectedly, before the selection competition was over, you had already entered the vision of the top management of Nibi City.

However, this will increase the risk of exposure for latent work.

But it also means you have more opportunities to access valuable information, and your significance to the organization is greatly enhanced."

"Thank you for your compliment, sir. I will dedicate myself to the organization and to you, sir, with all my heart."

"Alright, alright, you should keep these for the league. We on the Rockets don't like this."

As he spoke, Apollo took out a silver "R" badge and said:

"We on the Rockets have always been about profit. The more value we can create, the more we will get!

Although, you have just become a "senior-level" trainer, you have neither qualifications nor many achievements, and you have not participated in the assessment.

But this time, you were able to infiltrate the interior of Nibi City and be favored by others, which means you have demonstrated your value, so I will grant you the status of a cadre in advance.

With this status, you can get 50,000 Rocket Team points every year without fail, and the power to exchange points for props and cheats will be greatly improved in the future.

And if you need it, you can also use your points to call ordinary members to do things.

Also, try to get first place in this selection. Consider this as my investment in you."

As he spoke, Apollo threw a small brocade box. When it was opened, it was found that there was a very sharp and ancient tooth inside.

"Dragon's Fang!"

Feeling the astonishing pressure emanating from this tooth, Lu Ming was surprised.

"Yes! This is a Dragon's Fang, and it is a mid-level quality Dragon's Fang.

This is my early gift to you as a champion. If you don't win, return it to me with interest!"

"Thank you, Lord Apollo, for your appreciation. I will definitely prove that I am worth my money."

"Haha~, good~, this is what a Rockets player would say.

Okay, go get a set of uniforms for grassroots cadres later. Even if you don’t wear them normally, you must have them.

Then go register and transfer your identity from Qingyuan Town to mine. From now on, you will no longer be a subordinate of Lord Xiong, but only belong to me."

…………

After doing all this, it was already very late when Lu Ming returned to Nibi City, but he still immediately replaced the Desert Dragonfly with the "Dragon's Tooth"!

Although the "Sharp Bird's Beak" it is wearing now is also a mid-level quality item, it is obviously not as helpful as the "Dragon's Fang" of this series.

Moreover, the energy quality emitted by this "Dragon's Tooth" is even better than that of the "Sharp Bird's Beak".

However, Lu Ming felt a little uneasy when Apollo, a senior official, was so generous to him on their first meeting.

You know, the average mid-level props start at at least one million.

This "Dragon's Tooth" not only has a rare dragon attribute, but its quality is also the best among intermediate props. Its value is probably close to three million.

Although a mid-level item is not a great treasure for a person like Apollo, it is still a bit too extravagant.

Even though he wanted to get a higher ranking in the trials to get better development opportunities, it was still a bit too much.

But even so, Lu Ming couldn't just leave such a suitable prop unused.

…………

The next day, Lu Ming came to the competition venue again for the next round of selection.

But this time, apart from Yueyin and Flora, there is no other opponent who is worthy enough to match him.

And according to the situation of the other family, it is impossible to take the risk of grouping them with it so early.

Therefore, Lu Ming’s opponent today is just an “excellent-level” trainer.

Coincidentally, it was the trainer named Kurogiri who took the initiative to invite him to cut in line yesterday.

He is also considered a weirdo among this group of people, because apart from Lu Ming, he is the only trainer with an ordinary background.

As for the others, although they are not as powerful as Yueyin or Flora's family, they are all considered small leaders in Nibi City and have certain power.

It was precisely because of this that Hei Tong "happened" to meet him.

But he himself did not think it was unlucky, but was very fortunate:

"Oh my! If I had met Brother Lu Ming in the qualifiers, I wouldn't have even made it to the top 16. This result is already very good!"

"You seem to be quite open-minded, but I'm younger than you. You keep calling me 'big brother'. Don't you feel awkward at all?"

"It's not awkward, it's not awkward. The wisest are the masters. From now on, we are all comrades in the same region. Your strength far exceeds mine, so it's only right that you call me boss."

So, with Hei Tong's voluntary withdrawal, Lu Ming entered the semi-finals without any action.

At this stage, he knew that he would have to fight against one of Yue Yin and Flora in the next battle.

As for who it is, it depends on which of the two families has greater power and can push the resistance to the other party to solve the problem.

Lu Ming thought about it and decided that he would rather meet Yue Yin's Arcanine, after all, there was some restraint in their attributes.

However, since the beginning of the game, everyone who encountered Yueyin surrendered at the first opportunity, resulting in Lu Ming having no information about Arcanine and not even knowing its characteristics.

On the contrary, his own Desert Dragonfly showed all it could in the battle with the Double Axe War Dragon.

As for Flora's Blastoise, it clearly possesses the "Freezing Ray" which has four times the power to restrain Desert Dragonfly, which is a huge threat.

.........

Chapter 100 Scorching Sonic Boom

The next day,

On the day of the semi-finals, Lu Ming was assigned to be Yue Yin, which surprised him a little.

After all, Yue Yin's father is the chief inspector of Nibi City, and the family behind Flora can still throw herself to him first, which shows how capable he is.

When he stood on the field again, Desert Dragonfly's opponent had changed to Windy Dog.

"Lu Ming from Qingyuan Town, huh? Nice to meet you. It's not easy for you to come this far from childhood. You are indeed a worthy opponent. I will definitely give you my all."

The match started, and before either of them made a move, a blue light suddenly emerged from the Desert Dragonfly's body, and then its aura was reduced by 10%.

Lu Ming was very familiar with this. The effect that had worked so well during the Black-Eyed Crocodile period finally happened to him.

"Intimidation!"

Fortunately, although the Desert Dragonfly has a higher physical attack, it is still a dual-sword Pokémon after all. Coupled with its air advantage, it can still be fought.

"Shua~~"

The Desert Dragonfly quickly rose into the air and exhaled a breath of "Dragon Breath", which offset the "Jet of Fire" shot by Arcanine in pursuit.

"Hey, how come the power of its 'Dragon Breath' has become so much stronger?" Yue Yin's father, who was sitting on the rostrum, was suddenly surprised.

"What's wrong? Inspector, have you found any problems?" asked someone nearby.

"Hmm~, it feels like the power of this Desert Dragonfly's 'Dragon Breath' has increased significantly compared to the last match. It's very likely that it has been replaced with a high-quality item."

Yueyin's father had a sharp eye and could see the changes in the Desert Dragonfly's props at a glance.

Although it is also a mid-level item, the quality of this "Dragon's Tooth" bestowed by Apollo is obviously higher.

Moreover, the all-round enhancement provided by this series of items is incomparable to items of other attributes.

At this moment, the desert dragonfly only felt an extremely strong energy constantly flowing into its body, replenishing itself at all times.

Not only does the speed of performing dragon-type skills become faster, but the power is also greatly enhanced.

Otherwise, based on the power of "Dragon Breath" in the last battle against the Double Axe Dragon, it is estimated that it will not be able to compete with "Jet Flame".

Lu Ming himself also noticed this. He didn't expect that a mid-level item could have such an improvement. It was so advanced.

Isn’t what my Rogue Crocodile is wearing now a pair of high-end “black glasses”?

Because it is inconvenient to expose it, Lu Ming has not used it in actual combat since its evolution. The bully has long had many complaints about this, and he has to take it out for a good actual combat in the near future.

But at this moment, Lu Ming had no time to think about these things, and his attention quickly focused on the battle on the field.

But although the two elves are huge in size, they are both fast.

The desert dragonfly flew up and down, and the wind speed dog ran back and forth. From time to time, the two launched long-range attacks to test each other, but were offset by each other's attacks.
