Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

But now, through Ami's relationship, Lu Ming unexpectedly gained the interest of the young museum owner Lijia.

If he could make friends with Lika, it would not only far exceed Apollo's mission objectives, but would also be helpful to his future career as a trainer. How could Lu Ming refuse?

Seeing this, the three team members behind Lu Ming looked at each other, understood what he meant, and left.

After all, they are different from Lu Ming. No matter their strength or status, the gap between them and the person in front of them is too big. There is no possibility of making friends with them, and there is no point in staying.

But before leaving, Yana glanced at Lijia with complicated eyes, and then revealed a sense of loneliness and melancholy.

After everyone left, Lu Ming was taken by Lijia alone to the center of the manor.

It was not until this moment that Lu Ming clearly smelled a refreshing fragrance.

He knew that this was a special perfume made by Lijia, a perfume expert, using the pollen of plant spirits.

After sniffing it carefully, he actually felt a little more refreshed.

The environment here is quiet and elegant, and with a beauty like Lijia by his side, Lu Ming's mood becomes even better.

Soon, the two came to an artificial forest, and among these ordinary trees, there was a special small tree with very strange fruits.

There was nothing special about the tree itself, but the two round green fruits hanging on it instantly attracted Lu Ming's attention.

"This is a tree fruit!"

"Yes, the fruit on this tree is indeed the 'Tongtong Fruit', which is very helpful to poison-attribute elves!"

"Poison-attribute Tongtong Fruit! I do have a poison-attribute Pokémon. Did Pavilion Master Ami even tell you this?"

“Hehe~, speaking of which, your Earth King is a very rare species in both Kanto and other places, so Ami specifically mentioned it to me.

I'm also quite interested in poison-attribute Pokémon, so I kept this in mind."

Lu Ming understood after hearing this. After all, Yuhong Gym is not only the best in Kanto in cultivating Grass-attribute Pokémon, but is also very good at cultivating Poison-attribute Pokémon.

Even if you look at the entire Kanto region, only the Crimson Gym dares to say that it can defeat them in the poison-type.

Lijia continued, "I stumbled upon this Tongtong Fruit tree on my way to Nibi City, but the fruit is not yet ripe.

My family has a method of transplanting fruit trees without causing any damage, so I brought it with me.

If Mr. Lu Ming can use it, just take it back!"

…………

Chapter 140 Do You Want to Become a Gym Leader?

"If Mr. Lu Ming can use it, then I will give you this Tongtong Fruit tree, along with the method for transplanting it without any damage!

But when he fully matures, he might attract some competing spirits, so you should make some preparations in advance."

"This~, this is a fruit tree that produces amplification-type fruit! It's too precious!"

“Hehe~, amplifying fruit trees are indeed rare, and are priceless treasures in the eyes of ordinary people.

But my Yuhong clan’s land is not scarce, Mr. Lu Ming does not need to worry about it! "

Hearing this, Lu Ming suddenly felt a sense of inhumanity.

I can only say that it is worthy of the Jade Rainbow Gym, which specializes in Grass-type Pokémon, to give away something that ordinary trainers would fight for so easily.

Growing up in such an environment, it’s no wonder that those two girls who knew nothing could come up with “senior-level” elves.

Seeing Lu Ming nod, Li Jia smiled sweetly and said:

“If you want to transplant a fruit tree without damaging its roots, there are many things to pay attention to.

It just so happens that I have some experience in cultivating grass-attribute and poison-attribute Pokémon. Mr. Lu Ming, would you be willing to listen to me and take my time? "

"I couldn't ask for more!" Lu Ming replied happily.

That is the training experience of the owner Lijia. Even if it is not the core knowledge inherited by the family, it is still quite good.

In particular, he can use the experience of cultivating poison attributes now, and as for the cultivation methods related to grass attributes, he will probably be able to use them in the future.

After all, grass attribute is a common attribute and a must-have in many trainers' teams. He will definitely need it one day in the future.

As for the method of non-destructive transplantation of fruit trees, it is a very practical and good thing.

From then on, if he found fruit trees in the wild, like the "Lingguaguo" tree in the past, he could also process it in the same way and bring back a steady supply of fruit trees!

However, Lijia did not tell him the knowledge immediately. Instead, she changed the subject and said:

"I heard from Ami that although Mr. Lu Ming is young, he has already cultivated six elves, right?"

Lu Ming didn't know what he meant, so he could only say truthfully: "Yes, it's all due to fate!"

Li Jia nodded slightly and said, "Originally, I didn't want to interfere with Mr. Lu Ming's training plan.

But if possible, I suggest you temporarily focus all your resources on one Pokémon and try to cultivate a "Gym Leader-level" Pokémon first."

"Why?"

"Then I have to ask Mr. Lu Ming a question first. Do you want to be a gym leader?"

"Gym Leader! How could I even dream of that! Not to mention that this position requires at least the level of "Gym Leader".

Furthermore, those who can become gym leaders in Kanto and Chengdu are all from wealthy families like you, so ordinary "gym leader-level" trainers can only watch."

"You're right, if it was before, it was indeed the case.

But I received news that the Alliance Headquarters wants to reform and hopes to recruit outstanding civilian trainers to become gym leaders, especially young people with great potential. This news may be announced soon."

"Recruiting Pingmi trainers! No wonder Yuefeng and Hansen want their children to win the trials so much. They probably want to add some experience to their resumes."

Although for most ordinary people, families like Yueyin and Flora are already wealthy and powerful.

But for the families behind the Nibi Gym or Yuhong Gym, there is not much difference between them and ordinary families.

The power and influence of the aristocratic families have penetrated into every aspect of the alliance and are difficult to get rid of.

It seems that the Alliance wants to take advantage of the chaos caused by Sakaki to support potential civilian trainers and use their power to balance the influence of wealthy families in various places.

After all, he had been undercover in Nibi City for so long, how could he not know the game between the Nibi Gym and the personnel stationed by the Alliance.

At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly thought that Apollo had asked him to try his best to win the championship even though he had already qualified to join the patrol team, and he might have considered this aspect.

It seems that even for the current Rockets team, the intelligence capabilities of the top management cannot be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming said, "Master Lijia really thinks too highly of me.

Not to mention, when the time comes to select the Hall Master, there will definitely be many talented people gathered. Even with my current "senior-level" strength, I am not qualified to participate in this election."

"That's wrong. There's still some time before the elections for the four vacant hall masters begin.

At your age, if you can cultivate a "Gym Master-level" elf within a year, you may have a chance to get one of the positions.

And if Mr. Lu Ming feels that time is a bit tight, our Yuhong Dojo can actually advance some resources.

By then, if we have the influence of the Yuhong family to help, then your election as the museum leader will be, if not a sure thing, at least a good chance."

Lu Ming was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Yuhong Gym would dare to blatantly interfere in the gym leader election held by the alliance to balance the wealthy and powerful families.

No wonder he was willing to give me a "Tongtong Fruit" tree, it turns out it was waiting here.

As long as he becomes the owner of Yuhong Gym with the investment from it, he will inevitably be branded.

Afterwards, the power and influence of Yuhong Gym can be more easily projected to other cities.

Logically speaking, the best option for Lu Ming is to agree first and take advantage of the Yuhong Gym's resources for free.

Anyway, when I return to the Rocket Team, what can they do to me?

But then he thought, he didn't know how long he would remain undercover, and he didn't know whether Apollo really wanted to compete for the position of gym leader himself.

Therefore, he neither agreed nor refused, hinting that he would think about it for a while.

This was a little beyond Lijia's expectations, but she immediately greeted him with a smile:

"Of course, caution is a good thing, but the selection of the museum leader could begin at any time. The sooner Mr. Lu Ming makes a decision, the more confident he will be."

----------

After returning home, Lu Ming first planted the "Tongtong Fruit" tree seeds that the telekinetic clay doll had brought back with his mental power in the yard.

He estimated that the two "Tongtong Fruits" on the tree would be fully mature in about three or four days, and then the Earth King could eat them!

I don’t know whether the effect of this fruit can help the Earth King to break through in one fell swoop.

Because he was worried that the fruits would be fought over by elves when they ripened, Lu Ming asked the rogue crocodile to dig a hole in the yard to guard it nearby.

During this trip, Lu Ming not only got to know Lijia, but also got a fruit tree and asked for some advice on breeding grass-type and poison-type Pokémon. The result was far beyond his expectations.

After doing all this, Lu Ming also received a notice asking him to go to the government affairs center.

Lu Ming had anticipated this, and this time he suddenly took out a "senior-level" elf, which really needed an explanation.

…………

Chapter 141 Is He Really a Genius?

Lu Ming suddenly had a "senior-level" elf in his hand, and he needed to explain it to his superiors.

However, he was not too worried. In this world, it was very common for trainers to hide their hidden cards.

In particular, this time he exposed the Pokémon because he was protecting the direct disciples of the Yuhong Gym.

I think the higher-ups won't be too embarrassed and can just give the explanation that he was just tamed to get away with it.

The result was just as Lu Ming had expected. After a few simple inquiries from high-level officials in Nibi City, his elf's information was added normally.

Although Yue Feng and Han Sen were afraid that Lu Ming's rapid rise would overshadow the momentum of their own child, there was a subtle rhythm in their words.

But the old mayor Ace was very fond of Lu Ming and was very satisfied with his performance of adding a "senior-level" elf.

Not only did he always guide things in a direction that was beneficial to Lu Ming, but he also asked the former if he had any other hidden elves.

Lu Ming thought for a while and released the baby bear and the Earth King again.

Seeing this, Mayor Ace was even happier, while Yue Feng and Hansen looked a little gloomy.

Even many high-ranking people in Nibi City may not have the ability to possess two "senior-level" elves.

And now, he actually took out two very well-cultivated "excellent-level" elves!
