A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

"You deserve it, who told you to scare him like that?" Qin Lele rolled her eyes from the side.

"Heartscale Treasure, you can't bite people randomly!" Lin Xiaolin said to Yan Fan as she squatted down in front of Heartscale Treasure.

Xinlinbao tilted her head, not understanding what she meant.

“They are all partners, we can’t bite them, just like Sister Xiaolan.” Lin Xiaolin noticed Xinlinbao’s confusion and changed her approach.

Xinlinbao understood this time and nodded quickly.

Once everyone was ready, they went to class together. Xinlinbao followed behind Lin Xiaolin, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

Many female students came over to pet Xinlinbao's head. This time, Xinlinbao didn't dare to bite anyone anymore. Seeing how well-behaved he was, the female students even took out some small snacks from the elves to feed him. Xinlinbao was overjoyed, as expected, he was happy to hear that his master would give him something delicious.

When everyone arrived at the classroom, Teacher Lin was already waiting inside. Teacher Lin was delighted to see Xinlinbao following behind them and picked him up. Strangely, Xinlinbao, who was still a little wary when others touched his head, was incredibly well-behaved in Teacher Lin's arms.

After morning classes, Teacher Lin told Lin Xiaolin to remember to register his Pokémon. Once registered, he would become a formal rookie trainer. After lunch, Lin Xiaolin went to the school's registration office. Rookie trainers could usually register at the school without having to go to the League; only trainers above the rookie level needed to register there.

The professionals at the school extracted a small amount of blood from Xinlinbao and then sent him home to wait. Once he passed the examination, they would send the news of his official appointment as a rookie trainer to his phone.

However, to Lin Xiaolin's surprise, the fearless Xinlinbao was so frightened by the needle that he ran around wildly. In the end, Xiaolan managed to subdue him and bought him some snacks after the blood was drawn to calm him down.

Chapter 23 Lin's Father's Laboratory

Over the next two weeks, many of the first-year high school students' Pokémon hatched one after another, but most of them were Bug-type and Grass-type Pokémon, which have the shortest hatching cycle.

In the past two weeks, the senior students in Class 0 of Grade 11 and Grade 12 all knew about Xinlinbao, this warlike little guy. Xinlinbao loved to play on the battlefield, and Lin Xiaolin often took him there to play during breaks.

However, this kid is really stubborn. No matter what Pokémon he sees, he will go up and touch it. Once, he saw an Onix that his senior had put aside to rest, and he rushed up and crashed into the Onix, which startled Lin Xiaolin.

Fortunately, the giant onyx had a good temper and didn't bother with the little guy, otherwise he would have been sent flying by a single swipe of his tail.

It's worth mentioning that Yan Fan's mini-dragon also hatched, but the mini-dragon was completely different from the Scaleless bull; it was very timid and shy.

Aside from Yan Fan and Lin Xiaolin and their classmates, this little guy usually stays close to Yan Fan and has a completely opposite personality to Xinlinbao.

However, after Yan Fan's guidance, the Mini Dragon dared to appear in front of strangers, but it always hovered around Yan Fan and would retreat at the slightest disturbance.

Moreover, Dratini grows faster than Jangmo-o. Jangmo-o is only about 40 centimeters tall now, while Dratini is almost a meter long since birth.

"See you next week." Lin Xiaolin said goodbye to the other four as soon as get out of class ended, carrying her schoolbag. After attending classes for more than twenty days, it was finally time for a holiday.

Shi Anyang had to accompany his sister to the dormitory to pack her things, and Yan Fan also had to accompany Qin Lele. Lin Xiaolin didn't have to go through so much trouble. All she needed to take was a computer, which she had already put in her schoolbag in the morning. She said goodbye to everyone and left as soon as school was over in the afternoon.

After getting into the driver's car at the entrance, they soon returned to the dojo, with Xinlinbao following behind Lin Xiaolin the whole way.

"Chirp chirp!" Xinlinbao was startled when he saw the dojo at the entrance. He had never seen such a big ball before.

As Lin Xiaolin entered the dojo, the people at the entrance immediately surrounded him upon seeing Xinlinbao behind him, all taking out their phones to take pictures. However, the dojo staff noticed this and quickly cleared the crowd, allowing Lin Xiaolin to escape.

"Phew, you little rascal are really popular." Lin Xiaolin looked at Xinlinbao, whom she was holding in her hands.

"Chirp!" Xinlinbao was still unaware of what had happened. After entering the elevator, the noisy crowd around them finally disappeared. Lin Xiaolin put Xinlinbao down; she had been genuinely worried that someone might have taken the little guy away.

Back home, Lin Xiaolin threw down her schoolbag and lay down on the sofa. Xinlinbao looked around curiously. Xiaolan emerged from the ball and looked at Xinlinbao with a serious expression.

After spending more than twenty days together, Lin Xiaolin discovered that Xinlinbao had a tendency to destroy things. How could she tolerate that? She immediately had Xiaolan teach him a lesson, and now Xiaolan is the one keeping an eye on Xinlinbao; if he dares to destroy things, he'll get a beating.

"Oh, my son is back?" Hearing the noise, Lin's mother came out of the room and saw Lin Xiaolin. She went over and hugged Lin Xiaolin's face, kissing him on the cheek.

"Mom, is Dad still at the research institute?" Lin Xiaolin asked.

"Yeah, that bastard, he's rarely come back since the research institute was built."

Lin Xiaolin chatted with her mother for a while, and then took Xinlinbao downstairs to show her maternal grandparents. Her maternal grandmother was overjoyed when she saw Xinlinbao and immediately picked her up and fed her.

The next morning, Lin Xiaolin went to his father's laboratory. The laboratory was not far from the dojo, only two streets away. Because of yesterday's lesson, he put Xinlinbao into the ball while he was still sleeping, and then ran towards the laboratory.

After jogging for about ten minutes, Lin Xiaolin, panting, arrived at the entrance of a residential area. It was said that this area was a special place where the government had set up independent laboratories for researchers from all over the country.

Of course, you can choose not to be here, but the security in other places will definitely not be as good as here.

Lin Xiaolin was stopped at the entrance of the residential compound. He needed to be called by someone inside to enter. Lin Xiaolin used the landline in the security room to call his father. The security guard let him in only after hearing his father's consent.

Upon entering the residential area, one can see rows of white buildings scattered around the area. We found the No. 7 laboratory that Lin's father had mentioned and headed over there.

The door was open; it must have been opened by Lin's father after receiving the phone call. As soon as he went in, he saw piles of experimental equipment arranged around the room.

The room contained nothing but experimental equipment. At that moment, Lin's father was standing in front of a large instrument doing something, with a boy who looked a little older than Lin Xiaolin beside him.

"Dad!" Lin Xiaolin walked over and called out.

"Oh, Xiao Lin is here. Xiao Qi, why don't you tidy up and then come upstairs to rest for a while?" Lin's father stopped what he was doing as soon as Lin Xiao Lin came in, told the boy next to him to tidy up, and led Lin Xiao Lin upstairs.

"Dad, who was that older brother just now?" Lin Xiaolin asked as soon as she and her father went upstairs.

"Oh, you mean Xiao Qi? He's an intern in my lab, practically my apprentice. He was introduced by my mentor. He's quite diligent and smart." Mr. Lin sat down on the sofa.

The second floor is the same as the regular rooms, so it seems that Mr. Lin usually lives here.

"You won't mislead the children, will you?" Lin Xiaolin looked at her father with disbelief.

"How dare you talk to your father like that?" Lin's father stood up and gave Lin Xiaolin a hard rap on the head.

Then, Xiao Qi also finished tidying up and came up, offering water to Lin Xiaolin and her father.

"Xiao Qi, please sit down too. You've been busy all night." Lin's father rubbed his slightly sore eyes.

"Okay, Master, you should go and rest for a while. This research should be finished in two or three days." Xiao Qi sat down next to Lin's father.

"By the way, why did you suddenly come to see me today?" Lin's father suddenly looked at Lin Xiaolin.

"I just got a day off yesterday, and I had nothing to do today, so I came to check on things and show you this little guy." Lin Xiaolin said, releasing Xinlinbao. As soon as Xinlinbao came out, it observed its surroundings and then sat down at Lin Xiaolin's feet.

"Is this a Heartscale Treasure?" Xiao Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the Heartscale Treasure.

"Yes, he's my starter Pokémon, he just hatched." Lin Xiaolin said, patting Xinlinbao's big head.

"Oh!" Xiao Qi looked at Xinlinbao with a bit of excitement, wanting to touch it but also a little scared.

"By the way, Dad, I just heard you talking about what kind of research you were doing?" Lin Xiaolin suddenly asked.

"Well, it's just a small research project, it'll be done in a few days, but your old man is worried about it lately!"

"What could be troubling you?" Lin Xiaolin suddenly felt completely bewildered. What could possibly be causing her father so much worry?

“The Researcher Competition will be held at the end of this year. This competition is held once every ten years. All researchers at level C or above can participate with their research results. My two senior brothers have both achieved top ten results in this competition, and my teacher even won the runner-up once. I can’t let him down! But I haven’t produced any research projects that can shock people for so long, and that’s what’s troubling me.” As he spoke, Lin’s father sighed again.

Chapter 24 Elf Ball

"Research? Haven't you found a good research direction?"

“If it were so easy to find, I wouldn’t be sighing and complaining here.” Mr. Lin picked up his water glass and took a sip.

"Let me think about it." Lin Xiaolin feigned deep thought, mentally considering various research topics that could be used, hoping to find one suitable for his father.

"I've got it!" Lin Xiaolin suddenly clapped his right fist, thinking of a research idea that was very suitable for his father.

"What?" Lin's father was completely bewildered. Lin Xiaolin had just said she was thinking about something, and now she's thought of something again. What did she think of?

"Dad, I have an idea. Why don't you give it a try? Of course, it's just a guess. I'll tell you and you can see if you can do it," Lin Xiaolin asked her father.

"What guess?" Lin's father became curious. His son was always clever and quirky, and he might actually have some good ideas. Xiao Qi also curiously came over.

"I just thought of something. Poké Balls are something we all use right now, right?" Lin Xiaolin took out her Poké Ball and showed it to the two of them.

"Hmm, really? Do you still have ideas about Poké Balls?" Mr. Lin suddenly became interested and sat up straight.

"Hmm, when I was little, I got Blue's Poké Ball and I wondered, why is there only one kind of Poké Ball in our world? Pokémon have so many sizes, so many personalities, and so many types. Wouldn't it be too monotonous for us to use only one kind of Poké Ball? Wouldn't it be very useful if there were Poké Balls that were suitable for certain types or certain body types?"

Upon hearing Lin Xiaolin's words, Lin's father suddenly began to ponder what Lin Xiaolin had said, and then realized that it seemed to make sense.

"Do you have any other suggestions for me?" After thinking for a while, Lin's father went inside to ask Lin Xiaolin.

"Let me give you an example. If the Poké Ball were a room, it would be fine for normal Pokémon to live in, but wouldn't it be too crowded for Pokémon like Onix and Snorlax? It would be great if we could give them a bigger room. Also, wouldn't Water-type Pokémon be uncomfortable in the room? Would it be much more comfortable if the room was more humid?"

Lin Xiaolin's words completely enlightened Lin's father. His eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he finally shouted, "Xiao Qi, go and pre-order a tree fruit compressor and ten portions of every tree fruit available on the market. Use the research institute's funds to buy them, and do it as quickly as possible! I'm going to take a nap. Call me when the goods arrive, and we'll work on this this afternoon. We can talk about the previous research later."

After finishing his sentence, Lin's father lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

Lin Xiaolin: "......"

He had originally planned to freeload a meal, but seeing that Lin's father was already asleep, he decided to just go home and eat. When Lin Xiaolin was about to leave, Xiao Qi escorted him to the laboratory entrance.

"I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Qi, and my full name is Qi Lan. I'm a little older than you, so you can just call me Brother Qi. I'm currently your father's apprentice." Qi Lan extended his hand to Lin Xiaolin.

"Uh, my full name is Lin Xiaolin, you can just call me Xiaolin. Please take care of my father. He's a bit clumsy, so please bear with him." Lin Xiaolin also politely shook hands with him.

"Not at all, my master is very good to me, I should be thanking him." Qi Lan waved her hand quickly when she heard Lin Xiaolin say that.

"Well, Brother Qi, I'm leaving now. Goodbye." Lin Xiaolin said goodbye to Qi Lan and left, with Xinlinbao quickly following behind.

I wanted to put Jangmo-o back into its Poké Ball, but Jangmo-o refused, so I had no choice but to take it home, attracting the attention of many people along the way.

The next few days were nothing more than eating and playing, until the two little witches went home and took Xinlinbao everywhere to play. However, Lin Xiaolin found that Xinlinbao's personality actually got along quite well with the two little ones, so she let them play together.

A week-long holiday passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Xiaolin returned to school.

When Lin Xiaolin arrived at the classroom, the other four were already waiting inside. During the seven-day holiday, Qin Lele's Snow Child had also hatched and was being held in her arms. In that case, the only ones who hadn't hatched a spirit were the Shi siblings.

"Good morning, Sister Le's elf has hatched!" Lin Xiaolin greeted the four of them as soon as she entered the classroom.

"Chirp!" Xinlinbao followed behind and imitated Lin Xiaolin's greeting. As soon as it saw Xue Tongzi, it immediately went up to him.

This startled Snow Child, who trembled with fear. After all, the pressure from the Dragon type was still very strong. Even though it was a baby dragon, it was still quite frightening for a newly hatched Pokémon.
