Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

In the real world, the effectiveness of skills like "hypnosis" depends on the difference between the caster and the receiver.

If the level difference between the caster and the opponent is too great, it is very likely that it will have no effect at all.

But if on the contrary, the level of the caster is far higher than that of the opponent, then it is normal for the victim to sleep for several days in a row.

At this moment, seeing that Lu Ming not only did not call anyone, but also talked to himself, the girl's mother could no longer bear it and opened her mouth to urge him, but she heard the boy turn his head and say lightly, "Come in!"

The next moment, a huge green flying insect flew in from outside the door.

No! It wasn't a flying insect, but a flying dragon, a true dragon-type Pokémon—the Desert Dragonfly.

Nowadays, even if the desert dragonfly does nothing, it naturally exudes a strong dragon aura, which makes ordinary creatures tremble and forces the woman to swallow her words.

"Desert Dragonfly, try to wake her up with "ultrasound"!"

"Kaku~~"

The desert dragonfly nodded slightly, then spread its wings, emitting waves of sound waves that rushed towards the sleeping girl.

Soon, stimulated by the sound waves, the girl's eyebrows and fingers trembled one after another, and then she gradually woke up under the continuous baptism of the sound waves.

"Oh my, this is amazing! We tried so many methods before but were unable to find a solution. Boss, you solved it so easily with just one move. The difference is really huge."

Hei Tong never missed any opportunity to flatter Lu Ming and started to brag wildly.

The girl's parents rushed over to check on her and realized that their daughter was just a little sleepy. Then they came to their senses and turned to thank Lu Ming repeatedly.

Before, the girl’s father thought that Lu Ming got in through connections, and he couldn’t help feeling a little ashamed.

"Alright, give the other daughter some water first, then ask her if she saw the criminals."

"Yes, yes, yes, Ivny, do you remember who hypnotized you?" asked the girl's father.

The girl named Ivni rubbed her eyes. Before she could answer her father's question, she was attracted by the desert dragonfly in front of her, and then her attention shifted to Lu Ming's face. She immediately showed an expression of disbelief and shouted:

"Desert Dragonfly! Are you the big brother I fought against on TV not long ago?!"

"Have you watched the live broadcast of my game?"

“Hmm~” Ivnie nodded and continued, “Mom and Dad are usually not at home, so I just watch TV to pass the time.

I saw your match with Flycatcher on TV not long ago, and you even beat Arcanine and Blastoise. I want to be a trainer as good as your big brother in the future."

"Hmm~" Lu Ming patted Eve's little head and said, "If you want to become a powerful trainer, you have to train Pokémon well."

Ivni suddenly thought of something and said, "Dad, how is my elf?"

"Hey, Ivny, don't worry. As long as you're alright, Daddy will find a way to collect elves for you in the future."

Upon hearing this, Ivni burst into tears and said, "They are all elves that have been with me for a long time. I didn't expect that I would lose them all after just bringing them from Padia."

"Oh my! How could you have lost it? If anyone is to blame, it's the Kanto Alliance's lax law enforcement that allowed these criminals to run rampant."

The girl's mother tried to comfort her, but she realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately said:

"I'm not talking about you guys, I just think there's something wrong with the league's rules and regulations."

Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I want to know what the spirit that was taken away from you is!"

"My elves include Paparazzi, Minifu, and a Wubo that is different from the ones here. They were all brought from the Padia region."

"What do you mean by Wu Bo is different from Kanto?" Yana asked curiously!

"That kind of Wubo is a special variety from our hometown of Padia. It has poison and ground properties!" the girl's father explained.

"I guess it's because we brought some elves that are rare in Kanto that we are coveted by others."

Lu Ming nodded, he also felt that this was the reason.

Those elves might not be rare in Padia, but if they were in Kanto, they might be sold at a high price due to their rarity.

Chapter 109 Bait

Those elves might not be rare in Padia, but if they were in Kanto, they would probably be sold at a high price due to their rarity.

With this in mind, Lu Ming continued, "If that's the case, then it's very likely that someone familiar with your family's situation did it.

Think carefully again and see if you can remember who attacked you."

Ivny tried to recall for a while and said, "I didn't see the trainer himself. I just vaguely remember a Gengar suddenly breaking into the house, and then I don't know anything else."

"Gengard? Uncle, have you ever known a trainer who has a Gengar?"

The girl's father scratched his head for a while, but still shook his head and said, "No, no one I know has a Gengar."

"Then think carefully about whether you have ever exposed these elves from foreign regions to outsiders."

"A few days ago, the elves were feeling unwell due to acclimatization issues, so I took them to an elf clinic."

Lu Ming's face darkened and he said, "In that case, this clinic is very suspicious.

Besides, if they've been here, it's hard not to leave behind some trace. Desert Dragonfly, see if you can detect anything unusual using ultrasound."

After saying this, the desert dragonfly spread its wings, and released an even more powerful "ultrasound" than before, which began to sweep through every corner inside and outside the room like fine waves.

"Ultrasound" is like the eyes of a desert dragonfly, which can help it observe a wide range and be extremely detailed.

Finally, after a thorough investigation using "ultrasound", the desert dragonfly actually found some abnormalities.

Just outside the window, on the ground not far from the window, the desert dragonfly discovered some light black-purple mucus.

"This is the mucus secreted by Wu Bo! Could it be a hint for us?" said the girl's father when he saw it.

Then, Lu Ming asked the desert dragonfly to observe along the way, and with careful observation, it was able to find the remains along the way.

I think as long as we keep looking along the way, we will definitely be able to find the mastermind behind this.

"But I'm curious, how did Woob leave the mark? Didn't that person put it into the Poké Ball?" Koji asked.

"That's right!" The girl's father took out a Poké Ball and said:

“My Ivny isn’t a trainer yet, and Wooper and the others are also my Pokémon.

However, I don’t have much interest in fighting and breeding. I usually just let them stay at home to accompany Ivny, and the Poké Balls are all in my own hands.

I think it was because of this that the other party was unable to put them into the Poké Ball, and it gave Wooper the opportunity to leave a mark."

Lu Ming nodded in understanding and said, "Since we have a clue, let's follow it up.

Oh, uncle, you'd better lend me the Poké Balls first so that I can bring them back."

"Okay, okay~ I really rely on Mr. Lu Ming and everyone today."

Facing Lu Ming, who displayed extraordinary strength, the middle-aged father spoke in a very polite tone, without any attitude of an elder.

…………

The desert dragonfly flew in the air and used "ultrasound" to search for the signal left by Wu Bo, and soon locked its target on a private elf clinic.

In the Pokémon world, if you are not a registered trainer in the League, the cost of going to a Pokémon center for treatment is extremely expensive, so these Pokémon clinics exist.

Ivny and her family had just moved from the Padia region, which had not yet been fully integrated into the league, so they were definitely not registered trainers in the league.

In addition, Ivny's father had said before that he had brought the elf to the clinic for treatment a few days ago, which made Lu Ming even more convinced that there was something fishy going on.

"Brother Lu Ming, should we go in and check now?" asked Haoji.

"Don't alert the enemy!" Lu Ming first retracted the eye-catching desert dragonfly, thought for a moment and said:

"Don't you have a Casey? You can use it as bait."

"What do you mean~~"

Lu Ming explained: "Kathy is a super-powered elf, and her value is even greater than those ordinary elves from overseas regions.

If it was really someone in this clinic who did it, there is no reason why they would be indifferent to the more valuable Casey.

But this way you and Kathy become bait, and if you trust me, you can give it a try."

"Of course I believe you. Since I recognize you as the boss, there is naturally no reason for me to doubt you." Koji said without hesitation.

"I listen to Brother Lu Ming too!" Yana also echoed.

"That makes sense. Boss Lu Ming is indeed meticulous. I admire him very much!" Hei Tong played steadily.

"Okay, then when you go in later, try to act like Casey is your original elf, with no other elves around. This will increase the chances of the murderer attacking you."

"Leave it to me!"

After Koji finished speaking confidently, he walked straight towards the private clinic.

Several people waited outside for a while but didn't find anything unusual. It was not until about half an hour later that Koji walked out of the clinic.

Naturally, he would not come to find Lu Ming and others, but would go in the opposite direction as planned.

However, not long after Koji left, a dark shadow quietly slipped out from the crack of the door and followed his footsteps.

Shadow's actions were secretive, and although there were people coming and going around him, no one noticed anything unusual.

These people naturally do not include Lu Ming!

After this period of fighting with powerful elves, he has become very sensitive to energy fluctuations.

In addition, he came here with a mission and had to pay attention at all times, so he could observe this unusual black shadow.

The black shadow was self-righteous, thinking that no one could notice his actions, and secretly followed along the corners of the wall and other places with backlight.

Until a deserted alley, the black shadow suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of Koji, revealing the appearance of a purple-skinned fat man.

"Genger! Are you not pretending anymore? Looks like you have me figured out!"

Gengar's heart tightened at Koji's relaxed performance, but he immediately thought that the other party was most likely bluffing, so he let out a strange laugh "hehe~" and was about to take action.

After seeing Gengar appear, Koji threw the Poké Ball, but what was released was not the Casey that Gengar was looking for, but a yellow-skinned mouse.

"Jiejiejie~~"

Gengar laughed strangely and realized that what Koji said before was not true, but it was a bit unrealistic to think that he could defeat him just by having an "excellent-level" Pikachu.

And it saw that this Pikachu seemed to have some fighting talent and should be of some value, so it thought of taking it back with it.

Gengar bared his big white teeth with confidence, pinched out a dark energy ball in his hand, and smashed it towards Pikachu, suppressing the "100,000 volts" released by Pikachu.
