A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

After lunch, the three of them set off together. They thought the two little ones would come with them, but it turned out they had made plans with their classmates in the afternoon and wouldn't be playing with them, so they had to give up on that idea.

I hailed a taxi on the side of the road and headed towards the Trainers Association.

"By the way, I don't even know the process for registering as a regular trainer," Lin Xiaolin asked the two of them from the passenger seat.

"Don't worry, it's just a battle, I can beat it easily. The Pokémon I'm battling isn't even half as strong as Qin Lele and the others." Yan Fan waved to Lin Xiaolin from the back row.

Qin Lele: "???" Have I become a unit of measurement?

Qin Lele immediately rolled up her sleeves, grabbed Yan Fan's ear, and twisted it 180 degrees.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, I was wrong, grandma." Yan Fan immediately admitted defeat.

Chapter 54: Testing Ordinary Trainers

A short while later, the taxi stopped in front of the Trainers Association.

"Wow, this is really spectacular." Lin Xiaolin stood at the entrance of the Trainer Association and looked around. This Trainer Association is really something else. This city branch is so big, it's even more spectacular than the gym in Lin Xiaolin's hometown.

"This is a prestigious organization in China. Although it's just a small branch, it's not something to be underestimated," Yan Fan said with a shrug.

The three of them walked directly into the Trainers Association.

"Hello, what kind of service do you need?" The young lady behind the counter greeted me warmly as soon as I approached the counter.

"Uh, I'm here to register as a regular trainer." Lin Xiaolin directly pulled out the new trainer license that had been issued earlier.

"Okay." The young woman took the license and started operating the computer.

"Alright, the exam fee is five hundred in total. If you fail the exam, you cannot retake it within three months." After the bartender finished processing the paperwork, she handed the new trainer's license back to Lin Xiaolin.

After paying the exam fee, I followed the directions given by the lady at the counter to the exam area. There were quite a few people there, of all ages, probably taking advantage of their holiday to take the exam.

Lin Xiaolin stood in line at the back of the crowd. Yan Fan and Qin Lele said they would go for a walk first and call them after Lin Xiaolin finished his assessment.

"Next, next." The queue moved forward quickly. After all, this was just a place to test the power of the spirits, not a direct assessment site. It was just a test to see if the spirits could meet the assessment standards. Soon it was Lin Xiaolin's turn.

Lin Xiaolin walked into the assessment room, where a middle-aged man was standing next to a huge instrument, looking at him.

"Just release the spirit inside." The middle-aged man pointed to the instrument, and Lin Xiaolin immediately released the Heartscale Treasure.

"Chirp?" Xinlinbao stood on the instrument and looked at Lin Xiaolin with some confusion.

A beam of red light swept directly across Xinlinbao's body.

"Alright, you've reached the ordinary level. Just go directly to battlefield D12 for the assessment," the middle-aged man said after the red light scan was completed.

"Okay, thank you." Lin Xiaolin took Heartscale and ran outside. This was the Trainer Center, and there was no safer place in Star City.

Carrying the Heartscale Treasure, they headed towards Battle Zone D, attracting the attention of many along the way, since a near-god-level character is a rare sight.

They quickly found area D12, which was a battlefield. At the other end of the battlefield, an uncle wearing an association uniform was waiting.

"Hello, I'm here to take the test for a regular-level trainer." Lin Xiaolin greeted the uncle as soon as she walked in.

"Okay, I already know. Get ready." The man pressed a button on a device next to him, and a Poké Ball appeared on the device.

Lin Xiaolin quickly moved to the opposite side of the battlefield.

"Let me explain the rules of the battle first. If one of the Pokémon falls, the other loses. The Pokémon used by the League examiners are all randomly generated by a Pokémon randomization machine. We don't know what kind of Pokémon it is before it is released. The entire process will be recorded by League cameras. Now, let the assessment begin!"

As the man spoke, he threw the Poké Ball he had just received. A flash of red light appeared, and a Machop appeared on the field.

"Hey!" Wrist Strike roared.

"Chirp!" Heartscale Treasure ran forward and roared, not to be outdone.

"These are two very energetic little guys. Wanli, use Qi Gathering!" Wanli took a deep breath, and white light appeared on his body.

"Xiao Bao, use Glare!" Lin Xiaolin couldn't just watch the other party get the buff for nothing, so she took advantage of the wrist strength gathering energy and had Xinlinbao use Glare.

Shou Li was startled by the glare, but quickly regained his confidence.

"Wrist strike, low kick!"

"Hey!" Arm Strength roared and charged towards Heartscale Treasure.

"Xiao Bao, Dragon Tail!" Xin Lin Bao spun around and slapped Wan Li across the face with his dragon tail, sending Wan Li flying backward.

"What powerful strength!" exclaimed the examiner opposite him.

"Hey!" The defeated Arm Li got up again, looking at Heartscale Treasure with fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Wrist Strength, use Bullet Punch!" Wrist Strength shot directly and rapidly toward Heartscale Treasure.

"Headbutt!" Lin Xiaolin gave the order directly. Xinlinbao's head collided with Wanli's fist. Wanli was knocked back three steps, and Xinlinbao also took a step back.

"Wrist Strike, use the momentum to throw." The examiner gave the order as soon as the two separated, and the wrist strike was aimed directly at Heartscale Treasure.

"Hold on!" Lin Xiaolin knew that this move couldn't be taken head-on, so he could only order the defender to hold on, and his wrist-strength fists smashed directly onto Xinlinbao's defensive shield.

"Give him the final blow, full power Dragon Tail!" Before the protective shield dissipated, Lin Xiaolin gave the order again. Xinlinbao used all its strength to spin 360 degrees and strike Wanli's face with its Dragon Tail.

His wrist spun several times in the air before crashing into the wall, his eyes darting around.

"Wrist strength is incapacitated; challenger, you have won," the examiner announced directly.

"Phew~" Lin Xiaolin wiped away his cold sweat. Is this what a formal trainer is like? It's nothing compared to the Pokémon trainers he used to fight. Their command is incredibly fast, accurate, and ruthless.

"Alright, Challenger, you can leave now. Your new Trainer License will be sent to the address you provided within 3 business days. If your address has changed, please register it at the front desk."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Xiaolin thanked her, put away the Heartscale Treasure, and walked outside.

Just as she reached the door, as if remembering something, she took out her phone and sent a message to Tianxiao.

Lin: [Uncle Tian, ​​are you there? Are you free right now? I'd like to discuss compensation for myself.]

Tian: [Yes, where are you now? Do you need me to come pick you up?]

Lin: [No need, no need. I just happened to be taking the assessment for ordinary-level trainers at the association, so I thought I'd do this on the way.]

Tian: [Okay, I'm coming right away]

Lin: [Thank you, Uncle Tian, ​​for your help.]

He had just finished sending the message and put down his phone when he saw Yan Fan and Qin Lele walking towards him.

"How's it going? Have you finished the exam?" Yan Fan asked, handing Lin Xiaolin a cup of milk tea.

"Yeah, I just finished the exam, but I suddenly remembered something and I have to wait here for a while."

"What's up? How about we wait for you? Anyway, there's nothing fun to do here. After you're done, we can go to that new escape room that just opened in the west of the city. They say it's super difficult, let's give it a try." Yan Fan put his arm around Lin Xiaolin's shoulder and said.

"It's about the Starry Forest incident. Wasn't there supposed to be compensation? I haven't had time to come until today. Didn't you offer any compensation?" Lin Xiaolin asked, looking at the two of them.

"Yes, but we don't need much, so we just grabbed some Pokémon training materials," Qin Lele said from the side.

"Alright, we'll go with you to choose later. With your brother's eye for quality, they'll fleece you bald!" Yan Fan said with a grin.

Chapter 55 Research Materials

"By the way, can I transfer Sister Xiaolan to my name now?" Lin Xiaolin asked Yan Fan.

"No, you have to get a regular trainer's license first. Shi Yu took Slippery Boy to ask the staff before and they said it wasn't possible."

"Okay." It seems it will be a few more days before Xiao Lan can be officially transferred to his name, but there's no rush, since Lin's mother will have to come with him to transfer Xiao Lan's ownership.

The three sat in the Trainers Association chairs for a while before Tianxiao walked in.

"Uncle Tian!" Lin Xiaolin called out towards the door, and Tian Xiao immediately saw him and came over.

"Xiao Lin, how is your recovery going?" Tian Xiao asked with concern as he walked to the three of them.

"I can live a normal life now." Lin Xiaolin shook her prosthetic right leg, indicating that she was fine.

"That's good. Let's go. I'll take you to the research materials area to choose some." With that, Tianxiao walked to the side. It seemed that although Tianxiao said he had time, he was actually very busy and had squeezed out time to accompany Lin Xiaolin to choose some materials.

The three of them quickly stood up and followed behind Tianxiao.

"Research materials? What do you need that for?" Yan Fan looked at him in confusion.

"I don't really need anything else. What if I find some good treasure in the research area? Even if it's not a good treasure, I can still show it to my dad." Lin Xiaolin said this nonsense with a straight face.

“That’s true, I haven’t been to the research materials area yet. Let’s see if I can open people’s eyes later.” Yan Fan rubbed his hands together.

"What good things could you possibly see? You can mistake glass beads for pearls," Qin Lele said disdainfully from the side.

Yan Fan chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

Tianxiao led the three directly into the association's interior, then wandered around and entered the warehouse, finally arriving at the entrance of a warehouse.

Tianxiao simply placed his finger on the smart fingerprint lock on the door, and with a bang, the door slowly opened. Lin Xiaolin looked at the door, which was more than a meter thick, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

The moment the door opened, the lights in the warehouse also turned on, revealing a pile of glass display cases in the room. Most of the cases contained items, while some were empty, presumably containing the materials that had been exchanged.

"Alright, Xiao Lin, go ahead and choose. This area is full of E-grade materials, which are low-grade research materials. But you can still take a look and see if there's anything you like. I'll consider the overall value for you in the end. If you don't like anything here, I'll take you further inside, where there are higher-grade research materials."

As Tianxiao spoke, he let Lin Xiaolin go in and take a look. Lin Xiaolin roughly observed that there should be about two hundred glass covers here, and about one hundred and seventy or eighty of them were filled with things.

Lin Xiaolin observed them one by one.

[An ordinary meteorite with a bite taken out of it] [A chamber pot buried for thousands of years] [A glove once worn by a Pokémon, now tinged with a trace of Pokémon's aura] [A...]

Lin Xiaolin's mouth twitched as he looked at them. What the hell were these? No wonder they were so low-class. After looking around, the best one was a fragment of a comet, but that thing was only worth a little money and was completely useless to the elves.
