Behind the man were Yan Fan and three others, along with a pretty woman. Yan Fan and the others had just finished bandaging their minor and major injuries.
“Grandpa Xiao,” Yan Fan spoke first.
"Yes, please sit down. Xiao Lin is still inside." Everyone felt uneasy looking at the silent expressions of the Xiao family members.
"Old Master Xiao, your son saved my two sons this time. I have nothing to promise, but please let me know if there's anything I can do to help in the future." The strong man bowed and cupped his hands to Old Master Xiao to show his respect.
The woman behind the strong man and the Shi siblings also bowed to Master Xiao to express their gratitude.
"Well, it's all Xiao Lin's own will. Let's talk about it after he wakes up." Grandpa Xiao didn't say much, but gestured for everyone to sit down. Everyone sat outside the emergency room and waited.

"Ding~ Ding~ Ding~" Lin Xiaolin didn't know where he was. He only felt light and airy, as if he were sleeping on a cloud. It was so soft and comfortable that he didn't want to open his eyes.
When Lin Xiaolin opened his eyes, a blinding white light shone in front of him, and he instinctively closed his eyes again.
"Xiao Lin is awake! Xiao Lin is awake!" Someone's voice came from beside me.
"That voice sounds so familiar," Lin Xiaolin thought.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Lin's mother's face right in front of me.
"Mom." Lin Xiaolin hesitated for a long time before finally uttering this single word in a hoarse voice.
"Oh, Xiaolin, Mom's here." Lin's mother stroked Lin Xiaolin's cheek with tears in her eyes.
Lin Xiaolin was still very weak when she woke up, and soon fell asleep again. When she woke up again, her mother was sleeping by the bedside.
"I'm really not dead!" Lin Xiaolin raised her hands, looking at them with a sense of unreality. Suddenly remembering something, she reached for her right leg, but unfortunately, there were too many bandages and plaster casts on her body, so she couldn't reach it at all.
"Xiao Lin!" The slight noise woke up Lin's mother, who immediately looked at Lin Xiao Lin.
"Mom." Lin Xiaolin could only utter a hoarse voice, her throat feeling like it was on fire. Seeing this, Lin's mother quickly brought over a cup of hot water and fed it to Lin Xiaolin.
Sure enough, Lin Xiaolin already knew that he had lost his leg, but this did not make him too sad. Compared to life, what is a leg?
Lin's mother was still comforting Lin Xiaolin, saying that it was okay and he could still be a trainer in the future, and that it wouldn't have any impact.
Lin Xiaolin himself was quite open-minded. After all, the battles were between Pokémon, not trainers fighting hand-to-hand. Maybe he could even get the title of "One-Legged Elite Four" if he became an Elite Four member in the future.
The next day, Lin Xiaolin saw Xinlinbao and Xiaolan with teary eyes as soon as she opened her eyes, and Yan Fan and the other three were also sitting by the bed.
"Damn, why are you all here? You scared me half to death by watching me sleep," Lin Xiaolin said with a smile to Yan Fan and the other three.
"Class monitor." The four of them looked at Lin Xiaolin, who was smiling, and had indescribable feelings in their hearts.
“Xiao Lin, we owe you our lives this time. If there’s anything you need to do in the future, just tell us, and we’ll do our best to help,” Shi Yu said from the side.
"What are you talking about? This isn't the mafia. Do you think I'd ask you guys to come with me to chop people up?" Lin Xiaolin teased the four of them, making them laugh.
Lin Xiaolin eventually persuaded the four of them to leave. Lin Xiaolin also learned that he had been unconscious for almost a week, and the start of the new semester was not far off. What was the point of them guarding him? She also asked Yan Fan to take Xinlinbao with him for training.
The heart-scaled baby who was taken away looked unhappy.
In the following days, many people came to visit him, including the Stone Museum Master, staff from the nature reserve, and even members of the Alliance.
Lin Xiaolin learned from these people that when Gengar was defeated that day, Ranger was brought to the scene by Blue and rescued, and the entire organization was uprooted.
This organization is called the Crocodile Organization. It is an anti-league force, and its leader is named Crocodile, whose real name is unknown. He is said to be a Champion-level trainer and has been active in the Dragon Kingdom.
The Dragon Kingdom has launched several campaigns to suppress them. It is said that a major campaign was carried out twenty years ago, which almost wiped out the entire Crocodile Organization. The leader, Crocodile, was also seriously injured and fled the Dragon Kingdom.
I thought this organization had disappeared, but it has made a comeback after many years. The alliance has recently started to clean up all the nature reserves.
It is said that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, but Lin Xiaolin was so badly injured that not only was her right leg amputated, but she also suffered several fractures. A week after waking up, she was able to walk with the help of Xiao Lan and her mother, and half a month later she was able to walk on her own.
Finally, after a month of nagging, Lin's mother agreed to discharge him from the hospital. After a month of treatment, Lin Xiaolin was no longer in any major problems. He was just a little unaccustomed to walking with crutches, but it was said that they were already making a prosthetic leg for him, and he would be able to walk normally with the prosthetic leg soon.
"The air outside is so much better!" Lin Xiaolin walked out of the hospital with his crutches, he was almost completely saturated with the smell of medicine in the hospital.
Xiao Lan and Lin's parents walked behind, carrying large and small bags of luggage, most of which were gifts sent to comfort them.
Lin Xiaolin and her group returned to the dojo. As soon as they put their things away, her uncle rushed up to her with concern. Because of the dojo, Lin Xiaolin was hospitalized and unable to visit her uncle. Only her aunt had visited twice.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Uncle went off to get busy again. Lin Xiaolin's legs were not very mobile at the moment, so Xiao Lan had to do the housework.
"Mom, when am I going to school?" Lin Xiaolin asked, leaning on her cane, after tidying up the room.
"Let's wait until your prosthetic leg arrives in a couple of days before going. Rest at home these next few days." Lin's mother looked at Lin Xiaolin walking with some concern.
"Okay." School had already started by then, but Lin Xiaolin had taken a two-week leave of absence due to hospitalization.
Finally, a week later, the trainer who was a near-Elite Four member in Starry Forest personally delivered the prosthetic leg that had been made for him.
"Hello, Xiao Lin, my surname is Tian, you can call me Uncle Tian. I am the person in charge of Xingcan Forest." Tian Xiao extended his hand to Lin Xiao Lin, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Hello, hello." Lin Xiaolin quickly extended her right hand.
"Please have a seat, Aunt Jiang, please pour me a cup of tea," Lin's mother quickly said to Tianxiao.
Tianxiao sat next to Lin Xiaolin, and Aunt Jiang poured a cup of tea and brought it over.
"Little Lin, the alliance will take the majority of the responsibility for this accident. I'm here to discuss compensation with you. Whatever you want, I can help you apply for it."
Uncle and Lin's mother were sitting on the sofa, while Lin Xiaolin was curiously fiddling with the prosthetic leg that Tianxiao had brought.
"Compensation? What could I possibly want?" Lin Xiaolin looked at Tian Xiao when she heard about compensation.
Chapter 47 Compensation
Tianxiao pondered for a moment and said, "I recommend you get a Pokémon egg. As long as it's not a pseudo-legendary level, the League can get you whatever you want. If you want other compensation, that's fine too, such as high-level Pokémon items or League coins. Of course, we'll give you League coins or items of similar value."
Lin Xiaolin listened and pondered to himself. The alliance's sincerity this time was quite substantial, with any one of the compensations worth tens of millions. However, he felt that he didn't really need the elf egg right now.
Heartscale has already broken through to the Normal level this time. He now has a maximum of three Pokémon: Heartscale Blue and the future Ponyta. He doesn't need any more Pokémon.
The items are even less useful to him now, and as for Alliance Coins? Only a fool would want them.
Tianxiao didn't disturb Lin Xiaolin. He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and waited for Lin Xiaolin's answer.
"Uncle Tian, can I have the research tools?" After pondering for a long time, Lin Xiaolin could only think of this as the best option.
"Oh? It seems Xiao Lin wants to be a researcher. I can ask around for you." As he spoke, Tian Xiao took out his phone and sent a message.
"Yes, if you want to research props, you can choose one A-grade item, three B-grade items, five C-grade items, and ten D-grade items," Tianxiao replied to Lin Xiaolin.
Research items are mysterious items that the alliance obtained by chance. Most of them are traded by researchers. The level of research items is classified according to their mystery and the energy they contain.
"Can I go to the site to see it in person and then make a choice?"
"Sure, just come to the Star City Alliance branch when you have time. I can take you in to choose one, and if you don't find one you like, I can transfer one from headquarters."
After the discussion was completed, Tianxiao left.
"Xiao Lin, are you really going to study the props?" After Tian Xiao left, Lin's mother sat down next to Lin Xiao Lin and asked.
"Well, I don't really need anything else right now, so I'll just take this and see." Lin Xiaolin had no choice but to say this. She couldn't very well say she was going to find Mega Evolution Stones or Key Stones, could she?
"Alright then, just think it through yourself. We won't interfere too much in this matter."
A few days later, after Lin Xiaolin finally got used to her prosthetic leg, she was ready to go back to school. Lin Xiaolin hadn't seen Xinlinbao for more than half a month. To be honest, she felt annoyed when they were together, but she missed her terribly after they were apart for a short time, just like parents missing their children.
"Mom, I'm leaving." Lin Xiaolin waved goodbye to his mother. Originally, Lin Xiaolin said that his mother didn't need to see him off, and that the driver could take him. But his mother insisted on coming along.
"Xiao Lin, be careful at school." Lin's mother waved goodbye to Lin Xiao Lin.
Lin Xiaolin walked ahead with a limp. Although he could use the prosthesis normally, he was still a little unaccustomed to it. Once he got used to it, he would be no different from a normal person.
Xiao Lan followed behind Lin Xiao Lin, dragging her suitcase. Since this incident, Xiao Lan seemed to be even more attached to Lin Xiao Lin, not wanting to be separated for a moment. She even went to her grandparents to ask for the superpower gem and often practiced quietly at night.
Normally, Xiao Lan would never come out to places like this. She always becomes the center of attention when she appears in crowded places. But she doesn't care anymore. She just wants to stay by Lin Xiao Lin's side.
Xiao Lan first teleported and put the luggage into the bedroom before returning to follow Lin Xiaolin.
"We're about to go into the classroom. Little Blue, why don't you go play by yourself or put your Poké Ball in?" Lin Xiaolin looked at Little Blue as she walked into the school building.
"I want to stay by your side." That was Xiao Lan's simple reply.
"Okay." Lin Xiaolin didn't care much. Anyway, except for special Pokémon that can't come to class, such as large Pokémon or Muk, other Pokémon can accompany their trainers to class. Xinlinbao often accompanied Lin Xiaolin before.
Lin Xiaolin limped into the classroom. Since it was Saturday, there was a preparatory class, and the students should all be in the classroom.
But the moment Lin Xiaolin walked into the classroom, she almost thought she had gone to the wrong place. The teacher who was teaching in the classroom was still Teacher Lin, but there were more than a dozen students under the podium.
Lin Xiaolin peeked out and looked at the classroom sign to confirm that it was Class 0 of Grade 1 before going in.
"Teacher Lin, I'm back after taking leave." Lin Xiaolin gently knocked on the classroom door twice.
Teacher Lin, who was concentrating on teaching, turned around and saw Lin Xiaolin.
"Chirp!" Before Teacher Lin could speak, the Heartscale Treasure, which was lying at Yan Fan's feet, pounced on him and circled around Lin Xiaolin's feet.
"Alright, Xiao Bao." Lin Xiaolin squatted down and touched the excited Xinlinbao.
"Oh, are you alright now?" Teacher Lin asked with concern, putting down her textbook.
"Yes, it's all over now, I'm basically fully recovered."
"Okay, that's good. Please have a seat."
The students all looked curiously at this special admission student who had been absent from school for almost a month since the start of the semester. When Lin Xiaolin walked into the classroom, Xiao Lan behind him also walked in, causing a chorus of exclamations. Sure enough, Xiao Lan was too eye-catching.
Lin Xiaolin smiled and responded to his classmate who was looking at him. He walked to his seat and carefully observed his surroundings. He and Yan Fan were all in the last row, probably because Yan Fan and the others had moved there specifically.
They were in a row of five, with three rows of students in front of them, making a total of 12 people. Adding the five of them, that makes 17 people. It seems that Class 0 has admitted quite a few students this year.
