Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

At this moment, four days have passed since Lu Ming brought back those "Ice Gems".

After some inquiries, he learned that his cousin Lu Hui had already bought a "Frozen Fist" secret book for his warrior.

So, Lu Ming simply saved the expense and directly borrowed the secret book of "Frozen Fist" from his cousin and gave it to Circle Bear to practice.

Lu Ming did not lend it for nothing. After learning that his cousin's mosquito-repellent swimmer had not yet mastered "surfing", he gave him the set of secrets he had obtained before.

After four days of training, not only did Circle Bear master the "Freezing Fist" to great effect, but the Mosquito-Repellent Swimmer also mastered the "Surfing" skill to perfection, and it didn't look like he had just learned it.

Both of them were a little surprised and even shocked by this.

You know, when Circle Bear learns "Frozen Fist", he does not have the attribute affinity advantage of this system, so it is not compatible in essence.

However, if Lu Hui knew that Circle Bear had been eating the "Ice Gem" almost like ice cream these days, he would probably be even more surprised.

Under the bombardment of these massive resources of "Ice Gems", Circle Bear's affinity to ice attribute was greatly enhanced, and he naturally mastered the "Freezing Fist".

But for Lu Ming, Lu Hui's mosquito-repellent swimmer also shocked him.

Circle Bear learns quickly because he has a large number of "Ice Gems" and the ice cave environment he discovered before to assist in his practice.

But he didn't believe that mosquito-repellent swimmers could also get so many resources and a good environment.

Through questioning, Lu Hui also confirmed that he did not provide much auxiliary resources to the mosquito-repellent swimmer.

In other words, Lu Hui's Mosquito-repellent swimmer received almost no resource assistance while learning "surfing", but his progress was still not much slower than that of Circle Bear.

In this regard, Lu Hui explained that the "Water Stone" that caused Mosquito-Coolant to evolve unexpectedly was of very high quality.

In addition to training Circle Bear's "Freezing Fist", Lu Ming also purchased the "Freezing Fang" secret book from the Nibi Auction House.

After consuming most of the "Ice Gems", Steelix and Rhino also mastered the "Freezing Fang"!

As for the cultivation of other elves, there was no slack at all, and the supply of gems and various resources was sufficient.

Especially for the Earth King who was about to participate in the competition, Lu Ming gave it the "ground gem" sacrificed by the "senior level" peak ivory pig to absorb.

That ivory pig was the highest-level elf Lu Ming had ever sacrificed.

Although, it was still only a high-grade "ground gem" that was exchanged, its quality and the richness of the energy it contained were the highest ever.

This brought great benefits to the Earth King after the absorption, and also greatly increased Lu Ming's confidence in winning the duel and obtaining the key materials for making "protective gear".

"Okay, that's about it for today's training. We should go back!"

Seeing that it was getting late, the two men also knew that it was time to go home, so they released the Desert Dragonfly and the Toucan respectively, and rode them to fly towards Nibi City.

But when the two flying elves just flew out of the range of Yuejian Mountain and approached Nibi City, they suddenly felt a strong sense of water vapor coming, but the sky was still cloudless at this time.

Lu Ming looked around and saw that the originally clear sky behind him suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain began to fall, and it was quickly spreading towards them.

"Could it be that some elf is using weather-related skills?"

Sure enough, a fat bird elf flew out from the thick dark clouds behind.

This bird looks extremely unique. Its beak takes up most of its body and feels like it can hold a kindergarten child. Its feathers are white, and its claws, wingtips and forehead are blue.

"Big-billed Gull, why do these spirits appear in the inland areas of Kanto and the northeast?"

While Lu Ming was wondering, the toucan had already flown not far from them. He thought that the dark clouds and heavy rain just now were caused by it.

However, the whooping gull was not in good flying condition at the moment. It looked seriously injured and was wobbling as if it was about to fall down at any moment.

Judging from the faint energy fluctuations it emits, it should be a "senior-level" existence when it is fully victorious.

The next moment, Lu Ming released the telekinetic clay doll, letting it use its spirit power to easily control the shaky giant gull, and then said to Lu Hui:

"Xiaohui, doesn't your mosquito-repellent swimmer have the trait of 'ease and freedom'? This toucan looks like it should have the trait of 'rainfall', which is quite a match.

Besides, its strength seems pretty good, much more reliable than a Toucan like you, why not just tame it."

Lu Hui's eyes lit up, and he saw that the Toucan was obviously seriously injured. It was just the right time to capture it, so he took the opportunity to throw the Poké Ball.

"Touch~~"

The thrown Poké Ball captured the Owl without any surprise, and was lifted up by the Psychic Doll with its mental power and sent back to Lu Hui.

But before he could be happy, he saw a huge elf chasing from the direction where the toucan came from.

The latter somewhat resembles the image of the legendary Eastern dragon, with three upward-pointing cyan horns on its head and a deck in the shape of the Chinese character "宏" on its back. It is none other than the notorious Gyarados.

However, although Pokémon like Gyarados have flying attributes, most Gyarados cannot truly fly, and only a very few can do it through special methods.

Just like the Gyarados in front of him, not only did it emit extremely astonishing energy fluctuations, reaching the "gym master level", but its entire body was also surrounded by abundant water vapor.

Obviously, this Gyarados was able to fly by relying on its own extraordinary strength and superb water control skills to condense a ball of water vapor under its body that was enough to lift itself up.

"A flying Gyarados, how did they do that!" Lu Hui was stunned!

Although there is still some distance, it can be sensed that the strength of this Gyarados has reached the level of "Gym Master".

When Gyarados flew closer, Lu Ming discovered that there were three human trainers sitting on this Pokémon, whose size was no less than Steelix.

All three trainers are women, one older and two younger. The older one is about forty years old, but looks quite elegant.

The two young women were about the same age as Lu Ming and both had outstanding looks. One of them looked somewhat similar to the woman and was most likely her direct descendant.

As for the other young woman, Lu Ming was slightly surprised.

…………

Chapter 174 Old acquaintance

After seeing the last young girl clearly, Lu Ming was slightly surprised. It turned out to be his former fellow villager from Qingyuan Town - Si Yu.

After not seeing her for a few months, she now not only has an exquisite appearance, but also has a more extraordinary temperament. It seems that she has received good training and treatment in the Hualan Gym.

“It’s him~~!”

Si Yu's gaze fell on Lu Ming, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but when he looked at the woman beside him, he silently swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

However, the other strange girl opposite, after seeing the faces of Lu Ming and the other man clearly, her eyes never left Lu Hui. Then she showed a kind of smug expression that was not a smile, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.

"Eh~, they are two little guys. They are so young but they have Desert Dragonfly and Psychic Clay Doll. And they are quite powerful. Could they be the juniors of Nibi Gym?"

As the saying goes, rock and earth are inseparable. The two ground-attribute Pokémon also made the old woman leading the group on Gyarados mistakenly believe that Lu Hui and the others were from the Nibe Gym.

"I dare not deceive you, Senior. We are both officials of Nibi City, not from the Nibi Gym."

"Oh~, you're from a commoner background? That's quite commendable!"

Just as the woman opened her mouth to express her approval, she saw the girl who looked like her suddenly whisper something in her ear and gave Lu Hui a gloating smile.

Si Yu, who was standing by, heard the whispers of the girl traveling with him, and his expression suddenly tensed up. Then he looked at Lu Ming with worry.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ming felt uneasy, and Lu Hui had an extremely ugly expression on his face, obviously because he had provoked this woman before.

However, looking at the other parent's "gym leader-level" Gyarados, Lu Ming found it difficult to understand how the two sides could possibly interact.

After hearing what the younger girl said, the woman also showed a half-smile to Lu Ming and the other two, and then said:

"I just injured that gull, but now it's in this friend's Poké Ball. Do you want to give me an explanation?"

"I'm sorry, I just saw that gull wasn't in good condition, and I thought it was injured by a wild Pokémon. I'm returning it to you now."

As he spoke, Lu Hui hurriedly took out the Poké Ball containing the Gull and made a gesture to hand it over.

Unexpectedly, the old woman didn't move at all, and didn't even look at the Poké Ball containing the Gull, and continued:

“Spirited gulls and other creatures are found in almost every ocean in the world.

And in the breeding farm of our Hualan Gym, there are countless people with great talents.

Before, I was just curious about why it appeared in the inland area, and I didn't have much intention of taming it. Since you and it have this opportunity, it's okay to let you go."

Hearing this, Lu Ming and the other man breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to thank her and leave, they heard the woman continue:

"A wild gull is naturally insignificant, but a high-quality 'Water Gem' is a rare item even in our Cerulean Gym. Are you planning to get away with it quietly like this, little brother?"

"This~, a high-level "Water Gem"!" Lu Ming looked at Lu Hui in surprise.

Before, he had heard that Lu Hui accidentally obtained a "Water Stone" of good quality, which allowed the Mosquito-Repellent Swimmer to complete his evolution and promotion.

Originally, Lu Ming thought that it would be at most an intermediate evolution stone, but he didn't expect it to be a high-quality "Water Stone".

You should know that the value of evolution stones is ten times that of gems of the same level, and they are more difficult to purchase.

Previously, the "Fire Stone" that Yueyin's father had specially reserved for his Arcanine at the Nibi Auction House was only of medium quality.

The nominal price of a high-quality "Water Stone" starts at tens of millions, but in fact, there is no market for it at all.

If someone obtains a high-quality evolution stone, even if they don't use it themselves, they will definitely exchange it for other useful evolution stones or items, and will never sell it easily.

It can be said that the value of a high-quality evolution stone is almost comparable to the high-quality "black glasses" worn by the rogue crocodile.

Unexpectedly, his cousin's Mosquito-repellent swimmer could evolve using a "Water Stone" of such quality.

No wonder he felt that the mosquito-repellent swimmer grew even faster than before the evolution.

Moreover, he was also able to be so efficient when learning the difficult "surfing" skill before.

But no one knows how this "Water Stone" came into contact with the people of the Cerulean Gym.

Seeing the woman's scrutinizing gaze, Lu Hui had no choice but to explain.

It turned out that during a mission of the Nibi City Patrol Team, he and dozens of other colleagues were sent to the other side of Yuejian Mountain to investigate a riot of aquatic elves.

But unexpectedly, he met this little girl who was suspected to be a direct descendant of the Hualan lineage.

At the beginning, the two gangs worked together and eventually found the source of the aquatic elves' riot, an accidentally born high-level "Water Stone".

Faced with such an unexpected surprise, there was naturally a scramble, and even the identity of those who came from the Hualan Gym could not calm them down.

After all, even if you are really a direct descendant of the Hualan lineage, you are just a little girl who has not fully grown up. You are not the big boss in person, so how can you resist the attraction of the priceless treasure that is so close to you.

Finally, in a fierce melee, it was Lu Hui's Mosquito-Coolant who accidentally touched the high-level "Water Stone" and evolved into a Mosquito-Coolant Swimmer on the spot.

While Lu Ming and Mosquito-repellent swimmers got the chance as they did in the novel, they also made it meaningless for everyone to fight for them, thus calming the storm.

However, Lu Hui's appearance was clearly remembered by the girl in front of him. They met again by chance today, which led to her complaining to the parents.

"Senior, although my brother had a chance dispute with the noble girl, he didn't do anything out of line. I hope you will forgive me."

“I came to Nibi City this time just to bring my new disciple to meet an old friend.

When my daughter heard about this, she insisted on coming along, saying that she wanted to get back at a patrolman from Nibi City.
