Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

“You are really looking down on me. I, Flora, always respect opponents who defeat me fairly.

However, I will compete with you again soon and win fair and square."

"must!"

Lu Ming nodded, thinking to himself, what would your mentality be if you knew that I was the reason you failed to catch the Rocket Team member last time.

Then, after both elves received treatment, it was time for the awards ceremony.

The reward for the champion is a primary "hard stone", which is something Lu Ming had given away long ago. It is better than nothing.

He believed that Flora and Yueyin's families would not force them to compete for first place just for such a reward.

From this we can see that there should be many hidden rewards for winning the championship title in this competition.

This is also the reason why Apollo invested in an intermediate "Dragon's Tooth" in advance.

As a non-alliance member, Lu Ming joined the official patrol team of Nibi City this time, and received an unexpected benefit, which was a set of elf illustrations.

From then on, he no longer had to bother his cousin Lu Hui when he wanted to check the elf information.

After the show, Lu Ming held a celebration banquet outside with his acquaintances including Hao Er, Lu Hui and Yana.

Also present at the dinner table were my cousin Lu Hui’s girlfriend Xiaoyu and his other two teammates whom I had met before.

The fat red-haired guy is called Jianlang, and the one wearing glasses is called Budan!

But this time, the two of them appeared very respectful when facing Lu Ming, and kept trying to please him.

"Brother Lu Ming, we were disrespectful in our words before. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."

“Yes, ever since you saved us last time, we wanted to find an opportunity to thank you.

It's great that you've come to Nibi City. If you have anything to ask, just tell us what to do."

“Okay, you are all my brother’s friends, there is no need to be so reserved.

It's just that you were already a team in Qingyuan Town, and you haven't changed since you came to Nibi City! "

"That's right~" Lu Hui replied: "Our patrol team usually consists of four people.

There were exactly four of us when we were transferred here, so we maintained our original team.

With your current strength, you are definitely a candidate for captain, and you should even have priority in selecting team members."

Hearing this, Haoji and Yana's eyes lit up and they looked at Lu Ming and said:

"Brother Lu Ming, I am participating in this competition just to follow you. You must select me into the team."

"Brother Lu Ming, although my strength is not enough, I will definitely be very obedient in the future. Please don't abandon me."

Lu Ming nodded and said:

"Okay, okay, okay~, now that we have the two of you, we're still short of one. Let's see when we gather tomorrow."

.........

Chapter 104 Team formation

The next day,

At Nibe City Hall, Lu Ming and other trainers who entered the top 16 gathered here.

As the champion, Lu Ming stood in the middle of the team, looking at the bigwigs in Nibi City who were reviewing them.

Among these people were Yueyin’s inspector father and Flora’s alliance commissioner father.

As for the person standing in the middle, it was the old mayor who had appeared on the rostrum before.

The mayor's name is Ace, and he looks to be about sixty years old. Unlike the humbleness he showed when he was next to the master of the martial arts hall, he now looks like a real local ruler.

"Alright, alright~~, this time I just wanted to add some fresh blood to the patrol team in Nibi City, but I didn't expect to gain two real dragons from outside!"

During the conversation, Mayor Ace took a closer look at Lu Ming and Carl, two dragon-type trainers from grassroots backgrounds.

"These two are naturally a pleasant surprise, but I think the performance of our local trainers is also remarkable and not much inferior." Yue Yin's father said.

"Well, of course. But we still want to give special recognition to this year's champion, Lu Ming from Qingyuan Town!"

"Mr. Mayor, you're too kind. This time, my abilities were very similar to those of several 'senior' contestants, and my victory was mostly due to luck."

"That's not the case. Not to mention that luck is also a part of strength, even if you win three games in a row, it's not something that can be simply summed up by luck.

What's more, you are young, but you are neither arrogant nor impatient, which is even more valuable. You will become a great person in the future.

Perhaps our future achievements will go far beyond just working in Nibi City."

Upon hearing this, Yue Yin's father's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said, "They have just joined the patrol team, and they still need actual achievements to speak for themselves in the future."

"Haha~, that's natural. No matter your current achievements or your distinguished family background, they can't determine your future."

"It seems that the relationship between Mayor Ace and Yueyin's father is a bit complicated, and he seems to be interested in promoting me." Lu Ming thought to himself.

"It's getting late now. We should assign the teams as soon as possible and let these young people get familiar with the work." Flora's father stepped forward and said.

"Hmm~, Commissioner Hansen is right. Our teams are all composed of four people, and this competition has selected four "senior-level" players. Then they will be the captains and each choose three people."

As the champion, Lu Ming made the first choice, pointing at Yana and Haoji in succession, and then looked at the other contestants.

Seeing this, the Mooko trainer named Hei Tong raised his hand and shouted, "Captain Lu Ming, count me in. I will definitely follow your instructions!"

Lu Ming thought that since he came from a commoner background, he would not be too conspicuous, so he took him as the last member of the team.

After the personnel were assigned and the Nibi City Patrol Team received their special gray uniforms, the mayor continued:

“As patrol team members, in addition to the patrol and duty tasks assigned to each team, we must also follow arrangements in special circumstances and perform tasks that may be far away from the city of Nibi.

You are all new here, so please familiarize yourself with the environment first. Your duty roster and tasks will be issued soon."

"Yes~~"

Lu Ming and others left according to the four groups they had just been divided into and came to the rooms exclusive to their respective teams.

As soon as they arrived, patrol officers from a nearby office came over to try to get close to them, or rather, they came specifically to make friends with Lu Ming.

After talking with other patrol team members, he also roughly understood the strength of the patrol team.

In Nibi City, major incidents are handled by the Nibi Gym, while less urgent matters are under the jurisdiction of the Nibi City Government.

But big things usually don't happen easily, and Nibi City is a city with a population of over 10 million, so the number of patrol teams assisting in public security is naturally not small.

"Senior-level" trainers can already be considered strong and capable of standing on their own, and are not something you can find everywhere.

Therefore, even the captains of the patrol teams are mostly only at the "excellent level".

The presence of "senior-level" trainers is a very rare thing, and their trainers often have opportunities for promotion within a year or two.

Brothers like Lu Ming and Lu Hui, who are newcomers, have no background, and have not accumulated enough merits, will temporarily be relegated to this position.

Yue Yin and Flora are obviously here just to gain experience. They will be promoted naturally after completing the "big case" arranged by their superiors.

Therefore, when the patrol members of other teams learned that Lu Ming was a "senior-level" trainer and the champion of the selection competition, they swarmed over to curry favor with him, and it took a while to persuade them all to leave.

"Oh~, people in the alliance are busy with this kind of thing all day long. No wonder they have the advantage of time and place, but still can't destroy the Rockets." Lu Ming said with contempt in his heart.

After seeing off all the visitors, Lu Ming began to introduce himself to each of the team members.

Koji and Yana had known each other before, one was from the Orange Islands and the other was from Fengyuan area.

Although Kurogiri's Pokémon is a Mook, he is a native of Nibi City in Kanto.

After introducing their origins, Lu Ming asked, "We will all act together in the future. Besides the elves that appeared in the competition, are there any other elves?"

Kurogiri simply shook his head, while Yana and Koji looked at each other and each released an elf.

The former naturally released the Nine-Tailed Fox, which Lu Ming had seen before. It possessed the rare "sunshine" characteristic and could form a good cooperation with the Tropical Dragon after it grew up.

As for the elf that Koji took out, it made everyone, including Lu Ming, stunned.

This is an elf with a yellow body and a head shaped like a fox.

Its eyes were closed and its whole body was magically floating in the air, with a brown ring at the end of its long tail.

"Oh my god, you're amazing, there's even a Casey!"

"This is the child of my mother's main spirit. She gave it to me before I set out on my journey."

"Eh~, so your family conditions should be very good!"

"I'm not too sure about that. I've never asked. I just know that my mom owns a luxury sea view hotel."

"........."

"Okay~, this is my elf, Baby Bear!"

Due to the special nature of the golden Onix, Lu Ming only released the baby bear.

"Eh~, so cute."

Yana walked forward and hugged the baby bear, who then lay in her arms and began to act coquettishly and cutely.

It would be hard to believe if you saw this scene, but this is the initial stage of the evolution of the Circle Bear, which is famous for its ferocity.

After that, the four of them chatted with each other for a while, and the task was finally given:

"Target: A ranch outside Nibi City. Stop the wild giant bees from attacking beekeepers."

"Brothers, here comes the work. Although it's not difficult, this is the first mission, so everyone should do their best to complete it beautifully."

…………

Chapter 105 Baby Bear Goes to Battle

Southern suburbs of Nibi City,

In a apiary somewhere, countless black and yellow hornets are surrounding the apiary and trying to launch an attack.

The elves working in this apiary are not the giant beedinis commonly seen in Kanto, but a kind of elf that looks like a combination of three beehives.

I saw that each of its honeycombs had a face, and each of the two faces had an antenna, and each had a wing on the side. They were the flying and insect-type elves - the three bees.

The average height of the three bees is only thirty, even with the wingspan, it is only fifty.

However, although the Beedrill has a slender body, its height and wingspan are still over 1.2 meters. Combined with its sharp stinger, its individual strength completely crushes the three bees.
