Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

"By the way, I wonder how long Amikan will stay in Kanto?"

“I have agreed with my family elders that I will be training in Kanto for a while, and the gym affairs will be handled by other family members.

Afterwards, I will go to Yuhong City. I have a good friend there, so I'll go see her."

"Yuhong City! Best friends! It seems that just like the setting in the original book, Ami and Lijia from Yuhong Gym should have a good relationship."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming immediately thought of the Grass-type gym leader Rika, who was also a very famous beautiful trainer. The fact that she was on good terms with Ami was a case of birds of a feather flocking together!

Next, Lu Ming asked Ami for some experience in raising elves, and the latter tried her best to answer without revealing the family's core knowledge.

After the two of them had a conversation, Lu Ming gained a lot.

When it was getting late, Ami said that she was about to miss the appointment with her friend, so she finally took the reluctant Steelix away.

Lu Ming also selected from the iron ants lying on the ground, picked out some with good strength and potential, subdued them and took them away, then returned to Nibi City.

…………

----------

After returning to Nibi City, Lu Ming did not go home first, but went straight to the Nibi Auction House.

An Ran was still at work. When she saw Lu Ming coming in for the second time that day, she immediately rushed over before anyone else and greeted him with a smile.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lu Ming for returning with a great reward."

"Eh~, I haven't said anything yet, how do you know I will gain something?"

"Hehe~, if it weren't for the great harvest, why would Mr. Lu Ming come here twice in one day?"

Lu Ming smiled and said, "I want to sell the elves. Please find someone to take a look at them."

Speaking of which, that arrogant eldest lady Ke Xia really brought Lu Ming a lot of benefits.

Not to mention, the armored bird from which those steel feathers in his space backpack came was attracted by the steel resources that Ke Xia took out.

Even the iron ants brought back by Lu Ming were saved thanks to Ke Xia using herself as bait.

This time, in addition to the ground-attribute elves used for sacrifice, Lu Ming brought back more than 20 elves, almost all of which were iron ants.

If Ke Xia hadn't shown off her wealth, she wouldn't have been able to attract so many elves.

After all, wild Pokémon that can survive in harsh environments are not fools. They usually hide early when they sense a threat.

After Lu Ming sold all these iron ants, he earned hundreds of thousands.

Then they were sold on the spot and all exchanged for "Fighting Gems", and almost all of them were of intermediate quality.

This is in preparation for the practice of "pounce". Not only Onix must learn this move, but even the Psychic Doll must also be arranged.

Although the racial distribution of the Psychic Clay Dolls is not as extreme as Onix, their physical attack is far less than their physical defense.

But it is also a defensive Pokémon, and its attack and special attack are far inferior to its defense and special defense.

What's more, the telekinetic doll's favorite way of fighting is close combat.

If it can also learn to "pounce", it will be of great help in future battles.

After receiving several intermediate-level "ground gems", Lu Ming asked An Ran:

"Do you have any steel-attribute raw materials or the remains of powerful steel-type elves for sale at the Nibi Auction House?"

"Steel-attribute material!" An Ran was startled at first, then thought of something and said:

"Mr. Lu Ming mentioned 'metal film' this morning, and now he wants steel-property materials. Could it be that he wants to make one himself?"

"You are really smart. I do have this idea." Lu Ming nodded.

An Ran smiled shyly and said, "It's not that I'm smart, but as service staff at the Nibi Auction House, we all have to go through very strict knowledge training before taking up our posts.

If Mr. Lu Ming has a method to make "metal film", it would indeed be much cheaper to make it yourself.

We at Nibi Auction House do have several steel-attribute materials to choose from. As for the remains of steel-attribute elves~"

Seeing An Ran hesitate to speak, Lu Ming asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with the remains of the steel elf?"

"I just happened to get some news about a steel-attribute elf recently, but I don't know whether I should tell you about it."

"Oh~, is there any danger?!"

"Hmm~, to be honest with you, Mr. Lu Ming, I recently received a pretty strong adventure team!

They bought a lot of "medicine" and supplies from me. I heard them say that they seemed to have discovered a small group of wild Kokodora in Yuejian Mountain.

But later, only the strongest captain of the team returned with injuries.

According to him, they encountered a powerful Boscodorus, and all the team members died, and even its ace Pokémon sacrificed itself to save him.

I think this kind of elf is a being that can shed its steel shell, and perhaps it will be useful to Mr. Lu Ming.

But considering Boscodorra, it would be dangerous for you to go there alone, so I hesitated to tell you just now."

"This is happening!"

Lu Ming was very happy after hearing this. He now had armored bird feathers containing high-level energy quality, but the quantity was still a little small.

If we can get some more Kokodora and Kodora's steel remains, we will only need to add a few other materials to start refining high-quality "metal film".

"An Ran, can you still contact that person? If you can help me find out the location of the Kokodora tribe, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Mr. Lu Ming has taken such good care of me, so I won't do this if I just do him a favor. I will definitely try my best to contact that person."

…………

Chapter 123 Sudden

Before leaving the auction house, Lu Ming asked An Ran to contact the person who had encountered the Kokodora people on his behalf and inform him when there was any news.

After returning home, Lu Ming immediately sacrificed the ground elves such as Rhydon that he had captured before, and obtained a high-level and several intermediate-level "ground gems".

After a little thought, he decided to give the high-level "ground gem" to the Earth King for absorption.

After all, the latter is just like the gangster crocodile at the beginning, with the two types of energy in his body in a lame state.

But the difference is that compared with the previous gangster crocodile, its poison attribute talent is much stronger than its ground attribute talent.

If it absorbs this high-level "ground gem", its own energy will be much more balanced.

Just like before, the Earth King mastered three poison-related skills directly through evolution.

But at the same time, it hasn't even learned a single ground-attribute move, which is enough to show the huge gap between its two attribute talents.

But this is actually a good thing for Lu Ming!

It can be imagined that as the level of the Earth King increases in the future, the weight of its poison attribute energy will inevitably continue to overwhelm the ground attribute.

What Lu Ming lacks the least is ground-attributed gem resources!

In other words, Lu Ming can rest assured to replenish the Earth King with "ground gems" in the future without worrying too much about the Earth King's energy imbalance.

Before, he wanted to subdue a pure ground-type Pokémon with this idea in mind, but he didn't expect to find another way to achieve it in the Earth King.

For an "excellent" elf, even gems of primary quality are already a very good supplement.

As for a high-quality attribute gem, its price alone is a hundred times that of a low-quality gem.

It's not just that the total energy value between the two is a hundred times different, but the difference in energy quality.

It can be said that even if a person carries more than a hundred gems, he will never be able to exchange them for a high-quality gem with the same attributes.

This is because the energy of high-level gemstones is compressed to the extreme, which in turn greatly improves and enhances the energy quality of the elves themselves.

Lu Ming made a decision and immediately released the Earth King and threw the high-level "ground gem" directly into its big mouth.

Suddenly, after absorbing a high-quality "ground gem", the energy fluctuations in the Earth King's body began to surge wildly.

The weak ground attribute energy, which was originally suppressed by the poison attribute energy in the body, is now rising at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, the energy emanating from the Earth King began to change. The energy fluctuations of the poison attribute, which had previously dominated, began to turn into a delicate balance between the poison and ground attributes.

Although the Earth King had just been promoted not long ago, he had absorbed a pure energy equivalent to the compression of one hundred primary-quality gems, making his various attributes and energy levels extremely profound.

Just like the first time the Gangster Crocodile absorbed the high-level gemstone, not only did his energy level increase significantly, but even his own energy quality and physical fitness were improved.

You know, it took about half a year for the black-eyed crocodile to evolve into a gangster crocodile, and then it only took about two months to evolve from a gangster crocodile into a rogue crocodile.

A big part of this was due to the two high-level "ground gems" absorbed during the Gangster Crocodile period!

This kind of speed is difficult to replicate even for a rich girl like Ami.

This is because high-quality attribute gems are extremely rare, and once discovered, they are often divided up by various forces and are priceless.

The so-called market price of one million is just a reference price, and even the Nibi Auction House will not sell it to the public casually.

Only Lu Ming, who possesses the magical desert space, can mass-produce high-quality "ground gems", and even in the future he can produce higher quality "ground gems".

It can be said that if Lu Ming invests all the gains from the three main forces into the Earth King from now on, then its promotion to the "senior level" will be much faster than the original Gangster Crocodile.

As he had been hanging out in Yuejian Mountain for a long time today and was already exhausted, and he had to go to work tomorrow, Lu Ming fed a few elves some energy blocks and then went to sleep.

…………

The next day,

At dawn, Lu Ming was awakened by a phone call. It was a call from the Nibi City Hall, ordering all patrol team members to assemble.

"What the hell is going on? They're asking us to gather here before daybreak."

"I was supposed to have a day off today. I played all night last night, but now I'm being forced to come here. I'm almost numb."

When we arrived at the city hall, many people had already gathered there, and everyone was discussing the above purpose.

Lu Ming's team is ready to go. In addition, acquaintances such as Yue Yin, Flora, and Kevin, as well as the inspection team led by his cousin, have all gathered here.

Lu Ming estimated that the people present now were almost all members of the Nibi City Patrol Team.

After a quick count, he found that there were about a hundred patrol teams in Nibi City, equivalent to nearly five hundred people.

Considering that the minimum standard among these people is to have an "excellent" elf, it is still a very good combat readiness force.

Of course, the vast majority of these 500 people are "excellent-level" trainers.

Even among team captains, "senior-level" trainers like Lu Ming are extremely rare.

Soon, Mayor Old Ace came in with Inspector Yuefeng, Commissioner Hansen, and other high-ranking leaders of Nibi City and said solemnly:
