A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Shi Yu's Powerpuff has also made significant progress. Her Speed ​​Boost ability stacks up to be incredibly fast, even rivaling a Dratini with Extreme Speed.

However, its weaknesses are also obvious. The Mighty Chicken's attack power is weak, and it relies entirely on its speed to make up for it.

Hmm, is this the legendary "I can scrape fast even though I'm doing gua sha"?

This also shows the difference between ordinary Pokémon and pseudo-legendary Pokémon; Jangmo-o'-Dragon is basically invincible at the same stage right now.

Because her mother is a Heavenly King level cultivator, Snow Fairy's cultivation speed is always a step ahead of Heartscale Treasure's, so she can fight him to a 30/70 chance, although she only has a 30% chance of winning.

Lucario and Combusken are not comparable; they are considered top-tier Pokémon, and they use top-tier resources, which shows the difficulties faced by more ordinary Pokémon.

But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, their parents helped them reach the Elite Four level. They also had to figure it out slowly at first. And it's not that a Pokémon with a high bloodline is necessarily strong.

They are just starting at a slightly higher level than ordinary elves; once they reach the lord level, everyone is equal.

Recently, Lin Xiaolin has started to focus on training Xinlinbao. The college league is about to start, and Lin Xiaolin is aiming for the championship, but the thought of the championship gives him a headache.

I have to squeeze in time every day now, and each of the three Pokémon needs to be trained in a different way. If I were to get another one, especially one that hasn't hatched yet, that would be a real disaster.

However, he was reluctant to miss out on the Pokémon egg in front of him, after all, the offspring of an Elite Four member was a rare find!

Finally, I came up with a good idea: if I win the championship, I'll first see what good Pokémon are in this batch, and if there aren't any particularly outstanding ones, I'll just try to win it in my senior year of high school.

At the current pace, by the time I get to university, Heartscale should be at the Elite level, allowing me to focus wholeheartedly on raising new Pokémon.

To be honest, Lin Xiaolin isn't confident he can win the championship yet, but getting into the top 32 shouldn't be a problem. After all, he needs to motivate himself.

Sigh~ My journey to becoming a trainer is long and arduous!

Now I finally understand why most trainers only raise 3 Pokémon.

Only the top-tier trainers will raise more than three Pokémon, and they will only start raising the next one after their previous Pokémon have reached a certain level.

After this period of training, Azure Flame Blade Demon has gradually mastered the Shadow of the Night. Of course, it's only a basic grasp, and it's not very effective in actual combat yet.

This move is really hard to learn, plus Azure Flame Blade Demon's control over Ghost-type energy isn't very good, far less so than its control over Fire-type energy.

Lin Xiaolin finally decided that she would find a teacher for Cangyan Rengui when she had time, even if it meant spending some money herself.

The month is over, and it's finally time for the monthly break. It's already the end of April, and the weather is gradually getting warmer.

“Time flies by so fast~”

Lin Xiaolin couldn't help but sigh. In the blink of an eye, this year's college league is just over a month away. Life at school is really fulfilling; it's either training or on the way to training.

Back at the dojo, Lin Xiaolin took a rare break, lying on the sofa playing on his phone, while Xiao Lan and the others went out to play as well.

While Lin Xiaolin was playing, a phone call suddenly came in.

"Hello, is this Lin Xiaolin?" A female voice came from the other end of the phone. Lin Xiaolin thought for a moment, but she didn't think she had ever heard this voice before.

"Yes, who are you?"

"Well, I'm an admissions officer at Lingcheng University. My surname is Sun. You can just call me Teacher Sun."

"Oh, okay, Ms. Sun, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Xiaolin was filled with questions. Why would a university admissions office want to talk to a high school sophomore like herself?

"Yes, that's right. Our school is the largest research university in China, and we sincerely invite you to join us."

Chapter 144 Special Admissions for First-Year High School Students

"But I'm only a junior in high school!"

"You don't need to worry about that. With your current [B] level researcher status, you don't need to study in high school anymore, or even university. We can directly invite you to be a substitute teacher at the academy."

Lin Xiaolin: "..."

So you're saying I should become a teacher since I didn't even finish college?

Just as I was about to refuse, the woman's voice suddenly spoke again.

"Moreover, our principal, Liu Lin, wants to personally accept you as her apprentice, as her last disciple."

"Uh, I'll think about it. I need to ask my parents."

"Okay, if you've thought it through, you can call us back."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaolin fell into deep thought. He had met Liu Lin once before; she was the white-haired old lady sitting on the judges' panel at the last researchers' conference.

But why call me again after so long? If you wanted to take on apprentices, shouldn't you have asked that in the first place?

Little did he know that Liu Lin had been waiting for so long for news from Ye Qin, but Ye Qin still hadn't told Lin Xiaolin who to become his disciple.

He finally couldn't resist and secretly had one of his subordinates make the call.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaolin called his father. His father hung up and said he would ask Old Master Ye.

Then, Liu Lin, who was in the president's office in Lingcheng, received a call from Ye Qin.

"You old hag, I already told you my grandson is a trainer now, why are you still asking him?"

"Hey~ Old Man Ye, I just think it's such a waste for him to become a trainer! Look how great it would be if he followed me; he could make a name for himself in the research field very quickly."

"That won't do! My grandson can do whatever he wants. If he wants to be a trainer, then let him be. Don't stop him. It's not too late if he wants to be a researcher later!"

After Ye Qin finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on both ends of the phone, followed by Liu Lin's sigh.

"Fine, fine, you're the boss, it's your grandson..."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qin sat in the laboratory with a look of melancholy on his face. Why didn't he want Lin Xiaolin to take over their mantle?

However, Lin Xiaolin is still young and has his own plans for the future. I shouldn't restrict his future because of my own selfishness.

While these old guys are still able to work, let them hold on for now. When they can no longer work, then we will really need someone to take over their work.

This tradition must not be broken!

------

Lin Xiaolin, of course, was completely unaware of this, as he was on the phone with his father.

"Just do what you want. If you want to be a researcher, then be a researcher. If you want to be a trainer, then be a trainer. Do whatever makes you happy."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaolin stared at it in silence. Compared to being a researcher, becoming a trainer was definitely more appealing to her. Only by becoming strong could she protect her family from the wind and rain.

The next day, Lin Xiaolin took advantage of the holiday to go to the association center and find an elite trainer to teach the Azure Flame Blade Ghost the Night Shadow.

The trainer led Lin Xiaolin into a private training room and released a Murkrow.

Lin Xiaolin watched as Dark Raven patiently taught Azure Flame Blade Ghost Night Demon Shadow how to use it.

Unlike Lin Xiaolin's general explanation, Dark Raven explained things very patiently and carefully, just like a teacher giving a lesson to students.

During this time, the elite trainer also helped with explanations.

After studying for a whole afternoon, Azure Flame Blade Demon finally completed the incomplete version of Night Demon Shadow.

Well, at least it looks decent now.

"Alright, your Pokémon has roughly mastered Nightshade. You just need to train hard from now on. But I also have some advice for you. I don't know the specifics of this Pokémon, but it has very poor control over the Ghost-type energy in its body. You need to work harder on that."

"Okay, thank you."

Lin Xiaolin sincerely thanked him, and then left with the Azure Flame Blade Ghost. He had spent 150 million Alliance Coins in just one afternoon. Learning skills is really expensive!

The Shadow of the Night discs seem to only cost 80 Alliance Coins, but they're definitely not as good as this kind of one-on-one personal guidance.

Moreover, it was worth the price. Lin Xiaolin could clearly see the Dark Shadow on the Azure Flame Blade Ghost's panel, which meant that the Azure Flame Blade Ghost had truly mastered it.

From now on, you just need to train like Xiao Lan.

Of Xiao Lan's four skills recently, she has mastered Guard very well, but she is still working on the other three.

However, these three skills are already quite effective in actual combat.

Lin Xiaolin spent the seven-day holiday resting at home. Next month, like last year, he will not have a holiday and will make a final sprint for the college league.

Heartscale Treasure has always had a major weakness: its skill pool is too shallow. But there's nothing that can be done about it; it's only at the Normal level now and is far from being ready to evolve.

There are only so many skills available at this stage, which is a common problem for near-god-level characters in the early game.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On this day, Lin Xiaolin returned to school with his suitcase. Yan Fan and the others were already in the dormitory, ready to wait for him.

After putting their luggage away, Lin Xiaolin and the four of them walked downstairs together.

"By the way, Teacher Tang said that the specially admitted students from the first year of high school will also be coming to the school team today."

"Special admissions students?" Lin Xiaolin was a little puzzled. To be honest, he didn't really know much about these things. After all, he had been training and on his way to training for the past six months and hadn't paid much attention to anything else.

"Yes, there are four people, one less than us back then, but I'm not sure. I saw it in the school team's group chat."

Yan Fan shrugged.

Well, it seems we'll only know once we meet. The morning training has begun, and Lin Xiaolin is already directing Xinlinbao and Lucario in battle.

Just after the fight ended, Tang Tian walked in, followed by four people, three men and one woman.

The boy at the front was arrogant, looking down at everyone as if he disliked them all. The boy behind him was more shy, with a smile on his face.
