Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

Lu Ming patted its clay body and said, "Don't worry, we still have a chance to take it back, and we can get it back with interest.

When the time comes, I'll capture that "Garden Master-level" telekinetic clay doll and sacrifice it to boost your strength."

"Bolong~~"

The telekinetic clay doll knew that Lu Ming planned to wait until his strength improved before coming to deal with the wild telekinetic clay doll.

But it was worried that its wild counterpart would not stay in the cave for too long.

What if, by the time everyone's strength improves, the wild telekinetic clay dolls disappear, then we'll be left with nothing?

The telekinetic clay doll used telepathy to convey its concerns to Lu Ming.

The latter chuckled and said, "Don't worry, your attention was completely drawn to the advanced 'Bent Spoon'. Did you forget about the 'Fortune Fruit' tree in the cave?"

You know, this kind of fruit that increases attribute energy is not comparable to ordinary recovery fruits. It is very precious, especially for wild elves.

Generally, amplifying fruit trees that grow in the wild will be occupied by powerful wild elves soon after they appear.

Previously, the "edge-shaped melon fruit" tree that Lu Ming encountered outside Yuejian Mountain was probably too close to the human gathering area, so no elves dared to occupy it.

As for the "Fu Lu Fruit" tree just now, it was obviously owned by Old Hu Di, who was once a "museum owner".

Now that Alakazam is dead and the Psychic Doll has been promoted to the "Gym Master Level", I think he will not give up the "Fortune Fruit" tree easily and will definitely occupy that area as his own territory.

After hearing Lu Ming's idea, the telekinetic clay doll suddenly became enlightened and became excited again. It immediately wanted to take Lu Ming back to practice well. It was determined to take back the "curved spoon" as soon as possible and make it into a "ground gem" by the way.

However, Lu Ming was very much looking forward to what grade the gemstone could reach by sacrificing a "Garden Master-level" elf.

Of course, the prerequisite is to defeat it first. Lu Ming and the other elves are under great pressure.

You know, the "Gym Master Level" is recognized as the biggest gap, and it is the level with the most significant difference before and after promotion, and it is the same even if you look at higher levels.

Even if Lu Ming went back now and called the rogue crocodile, he would not be able to defeat him. The only way out was to improve his strength as soon as possible.

But even so, the spirit doll was still in high spirits. It first memorized the location of the cave firmly, and then set the spatial coordinates of its current location.

This is to prepare for future actions. Once they have gained a certain level of strength, they can be directly teleported over.

After marking this place, the telekinetic clay doll began to communicate with the spatial coordinates located outside Yuejian Mountain.

And this time, no accidents happened, and the telekinetic clay doll successfully transferred Lu Ming!

----------

As they approached Nibi City, Lu Ming's atlas finally got a signal and began to receive information from all sides.

Most of the calls came from people in the team, especially my cousin Lu Hui. It seemed that they had entered Nibi City a long time ago, and the Nibi Gym did not attack them.

This is not surprising. It was okay to kill someone in the wild before, but if it happened in the city, the alliance probably wouldn't be able to tolerate it.

So, Lu Ming immediately sent a message back to Lu Hui and others, saying that he was teleported to a farther place by the telekinetic clay doll, so he was a little late.

There was no mention of the wild telekinetic clay dolls and the advanced "bending spoons".

After all, as long as the wild telekinetic clay doll doesn't leave, he has the confidence to defeat it even if it is at the "gym master level".

There was really no need to ask for help and just divide the spoils for nothing.

However, when he thought about the future, there would be high-level "bent spoon" and "tongtong fruit" trees in that place, as well as the top-quality gems that could be transformed from "garden master-level" ground attribute elves waiting for him.

Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart, and just wanted to seize every opportunity to become stronger.

After this trip, the situation between the Nibi City officials and the powerful families, at least with the Nibi Gym, became delicate.

And I and others are caught in the vortex of this power struggle, and we don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse!

Lu Ming returned to the villa with a heavy heart. As soon as he entered, he saw the rogue crocodile lying under the "Tongtong Fruit" tree, taking a rest out of boredom. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"I, a trainer, almost died out there, and you, a crocodile, are so comfortable!"

"Baowu~~"

After hearing Lu Ming talk about the crises and turning points of this trip, especially the discovery of a treasure that was no less valuable than the "Black Glasses", Rogue Crocodile immediately became interested and only regretted that he was not there at the time.

"Alright~, that telekinetic clay doll is extremely powerful. Even if you follow it, it won't change anything. The only way to have a chance is to continue to improve your strength."

After saying that, Lu Ming took out a few medium-quality "ground gems" obtained from sacrificing the Longlong Stone tribe and let the elves absorb them.

As for the high-level gem, Lu Ming had not yet decided whether to let his companion be promoted to the "Gallery Master Level" first, so he kept it for the time being.

While the elves were absorbing the gems, Lu Ming took another look at the "Tongtong" fruit tree and found that the two "Tongtong" fruits were almost full and could be fully ripe at any time.

Then, he received a message from Mayor Ace, asking him to go to the city hall.

Lu Ming probably wanted to announce the alliance's attitude towards the Nibi Gym and did not dare to neglect it.

Immediately let the rogue crocodile continue to guard the "Tongtong Fruit", then recall the other elves and go to respond to the call.

…………

When they arrived at the government affairs center, Lu Ming found that several people in the group of 20 had not returned, including one whom he knew, Koji.

At that time, he saw with his own eyes that Koji was taken away by Yongjila's "instant teleportation" and he didn't know where he was teleported to.

You know, Koji doesn't have such strength as himself. He only has two "excellent" Pokémons, Pikachu and Yamagata. If they are teleported to the depths of Mount Tsukimi, it would be dangerous.

In addition, Yue Feng, Hansen and other high-level officials from Nibi City were also present, but their faces were also very bad.

After all, anyone would be angry if someone blatantly tried to assault their child and they were unable to deal with the other person afterwards.

Fortunately, Lijia was wise enough to help them block the "gym leader-level" strongman from the Nibi Gym, so that their two children could return safely.

Mayor Ace coughed lightly and said, "The Alliance has already thoroughly investigated this matter.

There was a villain in the Nibi Gym who secretly hid and mined the minerals that were discovered by chance. In order to hide the truth, he attacked the Yuhong Gym and the people of our Nibi City!

For this reason, Nibi Gym will give each of you who were attacked for no reason an item as an apology!"

"What? Such a big thing happened, but it was covered up so easily. Isn't the Alliance protecting the Nibi Gym?"

For a moment, all the team members looked at each other, obviously not convinced by this statement, but no one dared to say anything.

After all, they were in the middle of the game between the Alliance Headquarters and the Nibi Gym, and were at the center of the storm.

I was very lucky to be able to get some benefits this time.

The compensation offered by the Nibi Gym was a "hard stone" item for each person.

Ordinary team members like Yana each received a primary "hard stone".

And "senior-level" trainers like Lu Ming and Lu Hui even got an intermediate "hard stone"!

The total market value of this batch of "hard stones" is close to 10 million Alliance coins, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but it is nothing for the Nibi Gym.

Now, each of Lu Ming's elves has an intermediate or above item. The use of this intermediate "hard stone" has become useless, so he plans to sell it in exchange for some gem resources.

But just as he walked out of the city hall, he received a call from Lijia inviting him.

Chapter 150 Gambling Fight

The afterglow of the setting sun gently shines on a winding path, with colorful flowers on both sides.

In such a poetic environment, a woman in a kimono with extremely delicate appearance sits quietly on a wooden bench beside the path, her beauty even greater than the gorgeous flowers around her.

A moment later, a young man with sharp features came from the other end of the path. It was Lu Ming who was invited.

"Gym Leader Lijia, thank you for helping us out. I hope the people at the Nibi Gym didn't give you any trouble." Lu Ming stepped forward and asked with concern.

"That's what I should have done! Besides, if we hadn't been so blindly confident in the ability of the Parasaurolophus, we wouldn't have fallen into the trap."

"Gym Leader Lijia, don't blame yourself. Who could have imagined that Team Rocket was so cunning and shrewd? Not only did they discover the Nibi Gym's mineral theft long ago, but they also waited until now to take advantage of it.

However, judging by the attitude of the Nibi City government towards the Nibi Gym, I'm afraid the Alliance doesn't seem to care about this matter at all. Could it be that..."

"Mm~, Mr. Lu Ming has such strength, yet he is willing to join the patrol team. He must be a man of integrity.

Now that they have seen this kind of behavior, I am afraid they will inevitably be somewhat disappointed in our noble families."

"Master Lijia, please don't blame yourself. Although you are the Master of Yuhong, you certainly can't have the final say in such a large family."

Lu Ming, a member of Team Rocket, was praised for his integrity by the gym leader, and he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Of course, judging from the current actions of the league and major wealthy families, some people on the Rockets may not be considered to be dishonest.

Seeing Lu Ming still trying to excuse herself, Li Jia also showed a hint of embarrassment, and then opened her red lips and said:

"I can't hide it from you, the parties involved! The Nibi Gym gave some of the profits and handed over the entire mine to the Alliance for mining, and the matter was settled.

Although the alliance headquarters has overall strength, the interests of the local families are intertwined and complex, and one move can affect the entire body, so they can only withdraw while they are ahead.

Even this time, my unauthorized act of helping you escape has been met with criticism from many in the family."

After saying that, Lijia's eyes showed loneliness and helplessness, as if she really didn't like these things, but couldn't escape them.

Just as Lu Ming was considering his words, a giant creature with a wingspan of over three meters fell from the sky, and a voice that sounded familiar to Lu Ming came from it:

"Ms. Lijia, everything that happened today was a misunderstanding. If I had been there earlier in the morning, I would never have let Elder Wu Hong attack you."

Lu Ming looked closely and found that the flying Pokémon that landed next to the two of them was the Pterosaur they had fought not long ago, and the young trainer was still sitting on it.

"It's you, how come you are with Miss Lijia!"

The man noticed Lu Ming, frowned deeply, and his eyes suddenly changed from attentive to cold.

"Wu Kong! It seems like it's none of your business who I make friends with!" Lijia said in a cold voice.

"Don't get me wrong. What happened today was too coincidental. I'm just worried that you'll be taken advantage of and that this will damage the relationship between our two families."

"As the headmaster of Yuhong, I can naturally distinguish between public and private matters, so Master Wukong doesn't need to worry about this!

Also, it’s getting late, and I’m planning to invite some friends over for dinner, so please make yourself at home!”

"This~" Wu Kong's face showed shame and anger, then he looked at Lu Ming and said:

"He's just a civilian trainer, how could he be favored by Miss Lijia? Not to mention that the elders of the Yuhong lineage would not approve of him~~"

"That's enough, Wu Kong, you've gone too far today! Mr. Lu Ming and I are just friends. Besides, even if we have other relationships, it has nothing to do with you."

"Alright, alright, alright~~, I thought you were a commoner with some talent, but I didn't expect you to have such a skill!

Since I have encountered you today, I will not trouble the elders of the future Yuhong Dojo to teach you a lesson.
