Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

"What? Even Nibi City was attacked, and at this critical moment." Yue Feng's eyelids twitched, and he immediately shouted:

"Team members with flying spirits, gather together. We will return to Nibi City immediately!"

Lu Ming and others had just experienced a great battle and were exhausted.

He was fine. After all, the Desert Dragonfly was very powerful, and the previous battle had not taken much effort.

But among the other team members, there are not many Pokémon that can reach the "senior level", let alone have the ability to fly.

But faced with orders from above, even if reluctantly, they had no choice but to appease the elves with kind words and carry out the orders.

…………

When they returned to Qingyuan Town, they learned that Team Rocket's attack was over.

Although there were not many people participating in the operation, their individual strength was good, and they were all equipped with highly mobile elves, and they had already run away.

After an official inventory, it was found that most of the attacks were on elf farms.

Among them, there is also the largest Paras breeding base in Nibi City, which is extremely large and has thousands of Paras and Parast, but now it has been directly emptied.

Some towns around Nibi City were also attacked, but Lu Ming's hometown Qingyuan Town was not among them.

I think it was done by personnel from the respective town branches nearby, but because the Qingyuan Town branch was almost uprooted recently, it did not participate in this operation.

Although Lu Ming and others' trip started off well but ended badly, there was even some dereliction of duty.

But these have little to do with him as a small team leader, so let the planners and commanders worry about it.

It is estimated that this time, both Yueyin's inspector father and Flora's commissioner father will be held accountable for this.

Since Lu's performance in this operation was quite good, he would not be implicated and would even be rewarded.

After all, the alliance cannot arbitrarily punish grassroots personnel because of command and decision-making errors from above. If it does that, they will no longer be able to work in the future.

Lu Ming is one of the few "senior-level" trainers among them, so his "appearance fee" will be higher than that of most patrol team members and even team captains.

However, Lu Ming is now more and more curious about the purpose of the Rockets' actions.

When he was still dormant in Qingyuan Town, he received the task of capturing spore elves in the woods in the eastern suburbs.

And now, the Rocket Team members around Nibi City are making a big move to snatch these spore elves. Lu Ming would not believe that the organization has no big secrets about this.

Before, when he went to the key branch to meet Apollo, he had seen many spore elves that had been studied.

Lu Ming guessed that Apollo was conducting an experiment even crazier than resurrecting the moon bear.

What Lu Ming didn't know was that after he left City Hall, an even more intense dispute broke out among the top management.

"This matter was indeed planned by Brother Yue Feng and I. If the Alliance Headquarters comes to hold us accountable, we will definitely not shirk responsibility.

But the most urgent task is to resolve Team Rocket's hidden dangers and the Nibi Gym's exploitation of the situation."

"Yeah, I don't believe that the Nibi Gym wouldn't be unaware of such a big commotion, and they actually watched the whole thing. Isn't this just nurturing an enemy to protect themselves?"

"Hey! Commissioner Hansen, please be careful with your words and don't say anything that is not conducive to unity." Mayor Ace interrupted immediately.

"Am I wrong? Currently, 70% of Nibi City's annual resources and tax revenue go to the Nibi Gym, and the remaining 30% goes to the Alliance Headquarters.

If this continues, it will be hard to say whether Nibi City is a city of the Kanto Alliance or an independent kingdom of his martial arts master."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked worried and timid, but they did not dare to respond.

Finally, Mayor Ace sighed and said, "I understand Commissioner Hansen's concerns, but the Nibi Gym has been strong for generations.

From ancient times to the present, the Wu family has been the largest and most powerful family in Nibi City. Later, they actively supported the establishment of the alliance, and after joining the alliance, their power has not decreased but increased.

Especially now, the defection of former gym leader Sakaki has affected half of the gyms in Kanto and implicated many families in various places, and many forces have been reshuffled.

During this reshuffle, the power of the Nibi Gym or the Wu family has risen to a higher level.

Nowadays, the Viridian Gym and the Vermilion Gym, which compete with the Instinct Nibi Gym, have become empty shells.

And the Cerulean Gym is almost closely related to them, so it would be even more difficult to restrict them."

"It's certainly not easy for the Alliance to quickly select a new Viridian Gym Leader, but if we can bring in forces from outside of Nibi City, could we improve the situation?"

"Oh~, what does Inspector Yuefeng mean?"

"Judging from Team Rocket's recent actions, they are clearly researching a major project involving spore-type Pokémon.

Don’t forget, the grass-type trainers at the Jade Rainbow Gym are also very interested in this ability.

If we use this as an excuse to ask the people from Yuhong Gym to assist in the investigation, they probably won't refuse, and Nibi Gym will also not be able to find any reason to object.

In this way, we can not only use the power of the Jade Rainbow Gym to attack Team Rocket, but also introduce external forces to check and balance the Nibi Gym."

Chapter 126: News from Boskodora

Five days have passed since the operation to encircle and suppress Team Rocket.

Although Lu Ming's patrol workload has increased significantly in recent days due to the attack by Team Rocket, he still seizes every opportunity to practice and collect resources.

The strength of the elves is steadily increasing, and the "attack" of the Psychic Doll and the Golden Onix has also been learned quite well.

That day, it was Lu Ming's turn to take a vacation. He was planning to try his luck at Yuejian Mountain again, but he received a message from An Ran.

Thinking of the task he had asked her to do before, Lu Ming had a vague feeling that there was a chance, so he immediately went to find her.

When they arrived at the Nibi Auction House, An Ran was already waiting at the door, accompanied by a young man in his twenties who looked a little sloppy.

"Mr. Lu Ming, you are here. This is Shane, the trainer I mentioned to you last time who has seen the Kokodora tribe!"

"Hello, I'm Lu Ming. I believe An Ran has already told you, so I won't beat around the bush. Please tell me the location of the Kokodora tribe. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Xia En shook his head and said, "Mr. Lu Ming, you are too serious. My former teammates and ace elves all died at the hands of that Boskodora.

If you could avenge them, I would be happy to see it.

As for my request, after you defeat that group of Kokodora, I hope you can choose a Kokodora with decent talent for me. After all, I have lost my favorite Pokémon now."

"That's easy. Miss An Ran knows me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely meet your request."

An Ran chimed in, "I can attest to this. Mr. Lu Ming was the champion of the recent Nibi trials and currently serves as the captain of the patrol team. He's a role model for many citizens and would definitely not go back on his word."

"Hmm~" Xia En nodded, then said with a heavy expression:

"I believe that since Mr. Lu has decided to go, he must be confident.

But I still want to remind you that although the Kokodora tribe is generally not strong, their leader, Boskodora, is extremely terrifying.

At first, our team hadn't gone deep enough, and when we saw it from afar, we planned to leave, but we were still a step too late, and in the end, I was the only one who escaped."

"What! Boskodora's speed is very slow. If we hadn't seen it from far away, we would have been almost wiped out."

"To be honest, the strength of that Boskodora was unfathomable. We were so far away from it at the time that we couldn't even discern its specific level.

But now that I think about it, even if he is not at the "Gym Master Level", he is probably at least at the peak of the "Senior Level".

Moreover, unlike the general Boskodora who are good at close combat, that Boskodora has extremely powerful long-range destructive capabilities.

It was precisely because of its terrifying long-range killing skills that our team suffered heavy casualties. Even Galagala died while saving me!

Therefore, Mr. Lu must be fully prepared before going, and it would be best if he could bring along some powerful relatives and friends."

"Oh? A Boskodora with powerful ranged abilities? I see. Thanks for the heads-up."

Shane was just an "excellent" trainer before, so it's normal that he couldn't tell the level of Boskodora.

But in Lu Ming's opinion, the probability that Bosco Dola is a "senior level" is greater.

After all, if the latter is really a "Gym Master-level" existence, I am afraid that no one in their team will be able to return.

And if it was just a "senior level", even if it was a peak "senior level" existence, Lu Ming was confident that he had a certain grasp of it.

Especially his own elves, they all have the skills to restrain Boskodora four times.

Without further ado, Lu Ming did not delay and bought some supplies on the spot. He then rode his desert dragonfly out of Nibi City and headed towards the direction given by Shane.

…………

The desert dragonfly flew all the way to a very inconspicuous valley in Yuejian Mountain.

Although the location here is not too deep, it is surrounded by mountains and looks rather desolate. If Lu Ming had not been guided here, he would not have stayed here.

I don’t know how Shane and other adventure teams found this place.

When the desert dragonfly landed, it immediately sensed something with its super sound wave ability, and then stared at a corner.

"Did you really notice it? It seems that what Xia En said is true!"

As Lu Ming spoke, he released the Rogue Crocodile, the Psychic Clay Doll, the Baby Bear, the Earth King, the Golden Onix and other Pokémons in succession.

But Lu Ming did not act immediately. He had taken advantage of opportunities more than once, and of course he was afraid of becoming a target of resentment.

He first let the telekinetic clay doll and the desert dragonfly fly into the air to patrol, using both ultrasound and mental power to detect.

After the two elves didn't notice anyone else around, they decided to start a fight:

"Rogue Crocodile, use 'Earthquake' on that area!"

"Baowu~~"

The rogue crocodile, who had no chance to attack recently, pushed the "black glasses" with one claw, then turned his head to signal Lu Ming and the elves to stand back, and finally kicked his legs, and the khaki ripples surged like a tide.

"Boom~~"

With the strength of the rogue crocodile at this time, when he performed "Earthquake", the scene was spectacular.

Not only did it cause the ground in front of it to collapse madly, but even the surrounding mountains were shaken and rocks flew down.

Soon, the surface ravaged by the rogue crocodiles was devastated, and many four-legged elves wearing silver iron armor emerged from it.

There are about a dozen of these elves, the small one is Kokodora, and the big one is its evolved form, Kodora!

They are elves with rock and ground attributes, and their levels are both "normal" and "excellent"!

At this moment, their breath was very weak, and it seemed that they had suffered serious damage in the impact under the ground just now.

That is to say, they are located at a relatively low position. Otherwise, with the attribute disadvantage of being four times weaker than the ground, they would definitely be killed instantly underground like their other members who did not appear.

Their appearance did not attract much attention from Lu Ming. He was always on guard against the Boskodora that might appear at any time.

Sure enough, when the rogue crocodile found that Lu Ming and the elves were not attracted by the cannon fodder in front of them, the ground under his feet suddenly bulged rapidly.
