Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

Author: Serious Trainer

Summary:

With Sakaki missing, Team Rocket is leaderless and everyone is in danger.

Lu Ming traveled through time and became a civilian boy who joined Team Rocket to change his destiny.

Fortunately, he also had a magical portable desert space along with him when he traveled through time and space, which gave him a unique advantage in cultivating ground-attribute elves.

Thus, Lu Ming started his career as a reserve member of the Rockets, rising all the way to a senior cadre, and finally becoming the leader of the Rockets, reuniting the fragmented Rockets and expanding to other regions.

Until one day, Sakaki returned and saw the Rocket Team, which was even more powerful under Lu Ming's leadership. He sighed and said, "The name "Earth" should be given to you!"

Chapter 1 Rebellion against Tiangang

The dusk deepens, gradually swallowing up the daylight!

In the Kanto region, there is a small mountain town called Qingyuan near Nibi City.

A slightly thin young man was walking alone in a dark and narrow alley with hurried steps.

"Hey, Lu Ming, are you in such a hurry to make a fortune? If you have a way, don't forget to take me along."

A rough voice came from the front of the alley, and the young man paused.

The figure of the person coming was gradually approaching. Through the remaining light of the evening sky, it could be seen that he was a man with a scar on his face and a fierce look.

The young man called Lu Ming slowly raised his head, his brows slightly frowned on his handsome face.

Since he came into this world, he has experienced too much conspiracy and darkness!

Lu Ming traveled from Blue Star half a year ago. At that time, the original owner of this body had already joined the notorious Rocket Team.

As for the man with the scar, he is also a reserve member of the Rockets and has known Lu Ming for a long time, so he knows something about his situation.

"Are you kidding me? If I knew how to get rich, I would have moved to the South City area long ago. You'd still be able to see me here."

"Haha~, don't pretend, I have received the exact information.

You just exchanged two attribute gems at the Qingyuan Mall. This isn't something someone living in the North City would come up with!"

"Someone betrayed my information, but you are so unruly. Aren't you afraid of the organization's investigation?" Lu Ming's voice became cold!

The scarred man laughed after hearing this: "Haha~, organization! Look at what organization there is now!

In the months since the boss disappeared, senior officials have been acting independently and fighting for territory.

Even if a few reserve players like us were to disappear occasionally, no one would care."

As he spoke, the scarred man gradually lost his patience and took out a red and white ball, opened it, and said:

"Forget it, why would I bother telling you so much? Once I capture you, both the whereabouts of the gemstone and the black-eyed crocodile will be mine."

"Touch~~"

The light in the red and white ball turned into a solid entity after it fell to the ground, becoming an elf with a pair of sharp claws and stone thorns on its back.

"Kuchu~~"

"Hehe~, what a coincidence! My Sandshrew just evolved into a Sandshoveler, and also broke through to the "Excellent Level" along the way.

If it weren't for the recent organizational turmoil, I would have been able to become a regular team member by now.

It just so happens that it hasn't fought anyone since its evolution, so I'll let you sharpen its new claws!"

But something happened that was beyond the Scar Man's expectation. Lu Ming neither ran away nor begged for mercy. Instead, at the moment he threw the ball, he pulled his right hand holding the Poké Ball out of his pocket and released a Pokémon of similar height.

This elf looks like a crocodile, but stands on two legs. Except for its pink belly, its body is mostly brown with black stripes in between.

It has a very arrogant temperament, with its hands on its chest and its head slightly raised, giving people the feeling of a gangster boss.

What is particularly eye-catching is a pair of eyes that seem to be wearing sunglasses, and the arrogant look revealed in them is full of disdain for the opponent in front of him.

(▼へ▼メ)

"How is that possible! It took my Sandshrew over a year to evolve!

You've only had the Black-Eyed Crocodile for half a year. With your financial resources and conditions, how could you possibly allow it to evolve so quickly? You really have a secret!"

Ignoring the scarred man's shock, the gangster Crocodile turned his head to the side arrogantly, glanced at Lu Ming, and gave him a look that told him to stand aside and get out of the way.

Lu Ming waved his hands helplessly and stepped back. Then it looked at the Sandshrew again, stretched out a claw contemptuously, and hooked it at it!

The Sandshrew, who had just completed his evolution, was naturally full of pride, and he should have been angry when he saw the Rogue Crocodile looking down on him like that.

But for some reason, when the two of them mobilized their energy and prepared to fight, they felt an uncontrollable palpitation.

Then a blue light appeared on Sandsam King's body, and he suddenly felt his strength weakened.

"Oh no, this crocodile has the "Intimidate" trait!"

The scarred man thought to himself that it was bad, but he saw that the gangster crocodile had already jumped up on the spot, and his whole body shot towards the Sandshrew like a cannonball, with black energy wrapped in his open mouth.

The latter's attack power was only weakened, but its movements were not affected. He then raised his long claws condensed with silver light to block.

“Ding~~”

The sound of metallic collision echoed in the alley, and from the mouth of the long claw, two different types of energy, silver and black, intertwined and ejected like electric currents.

Judging from the energy fluctuations emitted, the two sides are not much different, and both seem to have just been promoted to the "excellent level" not long ago.

However, due to the influence of the "Intimidation" characteristic of the Crocodile, Sandshrew's attack was severely weakened.

After a stalemate with the former, the silver energy on its long claws gradually dimmed, and its body was not only eroded by the evil energy that was "bitten", but it was also thrown out with force and hit the wall of the alley heavily, causing a loud bang.

A large hole appeared in the wall where the Sandshrew had smashed, and spider-web-like cracks several meters long extended around it.

Despite such a loud noise, no one came to watch. Instead, the houses nearby, which had been noisy before, became surprisingly quiet.

The North City is mainly populated by poor people, and there are few trainers who can afford to raise Pokémon. Such a battle is not something they can easily intervene in.

Soon, both sides were covered in wounds, but Sandshrew, who was obviously weakened by the "intimidation", was in a much more embarrassed state.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the scarred man planned to take advantage of the fact that the gangster Crocodile was entangled and use his tall and strong physique to subdue Lu Ming first.

However, Lu Ming had already pulled out a dagger that was flashing with cold light from somewhere in his hand, staring at him with sharp eyes, unable to find any flaws.

Finally, after a close fight, both sides simultaneously performed the "Heavy Collapse" technique.

A wave-like ochre-colored energy tide spread out from under the feet of the two, and the ground shook and cracked violently.

But after the two energies came into contact, there was only a moment of stalemate, and the wave belonging to the Sandshrew was suppressed.

Then, the surging ground energy quickly spread to Sandsandruff's feet, taking away its last bit of physical strength.

"Impossible! Even if the Sandshovel's attack was weakened, it shouldn't be crushed so easily. How could this rascal crocodile's ground energy be so strong?"

The scarred man did not run away. As a trainer, he knew that ordinary people were powerless in front of Pokémon.

"Don't kill me, I will give you all the money I have!" said the scarred man weakly.

"Hehe~, you're using my spoils to buy your own life. It seems you have no sincerity at all."

The man's face froze, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "I can tell you who betrayed you, but you have to ensure my safety."

"Okay~, tell me and I won't kill you, nor will I let the thug Crocodile kill you."

The scarred man exhaled lightly and said slowly: "The person who sold your information is a manager in charge of the gem exchange business at Qingyuan Mall.

He is my cousin, and he asked me to intercept you halfway and give him the two "Evil Gems" you exchanged for them. The rest are mine."

"Oh~, I didn't expect you to have a relative who is the manager of Qingyuan Mall. You have some connections. How capable is he?"

"He originally had no strength, but because his daughter hooked up with a big shot at the Nibi Gym, he was promoted to manager.

I think his current strength should be quite good, after all, the resources he has are incomparable to before.

I have told you everything I know, you can go now!"

"Hmm~~"

Seeing Lu Ming nodded, the scarred man hurriedly took back the Sandsandruff and turned to leave this nightmare place, but was blocked by the gangster crocodile.

"You just promised to let me go!"

"Don't worry, I'm a man of my words! Let him go!"

“Click~~”

The gangster crocodile opened his mouth and bit off the scarred man's head, and blood gushed out like a column!

"Pfft~"

"Ah~, sorry, bro. It's not that I broke my promise, but our Boss Crocodile has always been a disobedient and rebellious person!"

Chapter 2 Desert Space and Strange Altar

When Lu Ming walked out of the remote alley, the sky was already completely dark.

He quickened his pace, looked around carefully, and returned to his simple hut.

Compared to before I went out, my originally empty pockets have become bulging, and I have to thank the scarred man for the generous gift.

He did not rush to count the harvest, but first checked the house and then glanced outside.

After confirming that no one was following him, he locked the doors and windows, then closed his eyes. The next moment, this living person mysteriously disappeared on the spot.

…………

The world spun around for a while, and when Lu Ming opened his eyes again, he saw a vast expanse of yellow sand.

The sand here is thick, and the desert area is about four or five hundred square meters. Outside, there is a strange fog.

But Lu Ming could feel that there was still room for exploration in the fog, but he just didn't know how to do it for the time being.

What’s even more amazing is that this desert also changes with the time outside, presenting different sky colors in the morning and evening.

Just like now, because it is already very late outside, the desert space has changed from daytime to the starry sky.
