A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Looking back, she saw Yan Fan standing in front of a display stand, arguing with Qin Lele about life.

"Xiao Lin, see if I'm right?" As soon as Lin Xiao Lin returned, Yan Fan quickly pulled him to the display stand.

“This thing is definitely a treasure, absolutely valuable, and Lele actually said I was talking nonsense.” Yan Fan pointed to the item in the display case.

Lin Xiaolin stared silently at the items in the display case.

"See, I told you so. Even Xiao Lin thinks it's a good thing." Yan Fan saw Lin Xiao Lin watching silently and assumed she was on his side, so he smugly showed off to Qin Lele.

"Yan Fan, is it possible that this is a chamber pot?" Before Qin Lele could retort, Lin Xiaolin spoke up first.

Yan Fan: "???"

"Hahaha, a urinal!" Qin Lele burst into laughter.

Yan Fan observed it carefully, and sure enough, the more he looked at it, the more it resembled an ancient chamber pot.

Yan Fan: "......"

Yan Fan was rendered speechless.

"Uncle Tian, ​​let's go to the next place. There's nothing here that I like." Lin Xiaolin waved to Tian Xiao, who was waiting at the door.

"Okay." Tianxiao walked over and led the three of them to the deepest part, where they saw a large iron gate.

Tianxiao used the fingerprint unlocking function once again. After the large iron gate opened, the situation inside was revealed to the three of them.

It's basically the same as the outside, with rows of display cases arranged neatly, but at a glance, there are more than half as many as outside.

"These are D-grade materials. You can go take a look first, or just call me if you don't find anything you like." Tian Xiao said, taking out his phone to reply to some messages. It seems that Tian Xiao is really busy.

Lin Xiaolin went inside and found that the things inside were much more reliable than those outside. Although none of them were very useful, they were all somewhat related to elves. She carefully examined each row.

This time, Yan Fanxue behaved himself and followed behind Lin Xiaolin, no longer trying to figure things out on his own.

Lin Xiaolin looked around and found quite a few treasures, such as a basketball-sized rock containing a mid-grade Thunder Stone.

However, these methods were still of little use, so Tianxiao led them to the next area.

The C-grade area is much more valuable; there are only thirty display cases in the room, and it is estimated that only about twenty of them contain items.

Lin Xiaolin discovered quite a few treasures among them, and even saw four fossils, but what use are these things? There's no fossil revival machine right now.

We can't expect Lin Xiaolin to build one, can we? That's unrealistic. Lin Xiaolin probably doesn't even recognize all the machine parts right now, so how can he study something so complicated?

After browsing around for a while, I finally found something I liked: a piece of light clay. In the game, it seems to extend the effects of light walls and reflective walls, but it seems no one has discovered its use in real life.

This is a good thing. If there's nothing better in it, I'll need a copy of this later. I can use it to submit research reports and get myself researcher status.

"Uncle Tian, ​​let's go inside." After finishing looking around, Lin Xiaolin called to Tian Xiao.

"Still no one you like?" Tianxiao asked as he walked up to Lin Xiaolin.

"There is one, but I still want to go in and take a look, just in case there's something better inside?" Lin Xiaolin scratched her head, looking embarrassed.

"Haha, we should go in and take a look. After all, we're already here, so we should see the best to broaden our horizons." With that, Tianxiao led the three of them into the exhibition hall of B-grade research materials.

Chapter 56 Exchange

The place was even more shabby; there were only fifteen display cases, and only eight of them contained items.

Lin Xiaolin stepped forward to observe.

[Beautiful Scales] [Sharp Claws] [Evolutionary Stone] [...]

Lin Xiaolin's breathing grew heavier as he looked around. These were all important tools that hadn't been found to be useful. If he just took one of them and wrote a research report, he would be a confirmed researcher, and not necessarily a low-level one, but at least a [C] level.

What to do? I really want to take them all with me, Lin Xiaolin thought to herself, but that's just wishful thinking, it's not realistic.

Looking at each item one by one, each one touched Lin Xiaolin's heartstrings.

When I looked at the second to last item, my heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if it had stopped for half a beat. I looked at the information in my mind in disbelief.

Item: Evolution Key Stone

Description: This item can help Pokémon undergo Mega Evolution. It requires the Pokémon to hold a specific Mega Stone and for the Trainer and Pokémon to reach a state of mutual understanding.

Lin Xiaolin was so excited that she trembled all over. Yan Fan and Qin Lele also looked at the display case when Lin Xiaolin stopped.

"What beautiful beads!" Qin Lele exclaimed in admiration as she looked at the colorful stones.

"What strange beads! How can there be colored stones?" Yan Fan was a little puzzled. Surely there couldn't be fakes here, right? But he had never heard of naturally colored beads before.

Lin Xiaolin turned her head to look at the description on the display case.

Description: A strange, seven-colored stone, unearthed by archaeologists from underground. It seems to contain some mysterious secrets, a power different from elemental power.

"This is a must," Lin Xiaolin thought to himself, glancing down at the next item, which was just a King's Certificate.

"Well, is there anything you want?" Tianxiao asked after Lin Xiaolin finished looking.

"Hmm, this bead is quite pretty, but I still want to go inside and take a look." Lin Xiaolin pretended to be nonchalant, but she was actually quite nervous inside.

Could it be that the key stone has been swapped by someone else after he goes to the innermost part? Lin Xiaolin is extremely worried and doesn't want the key stone out of his sight for even a moment.

Tianxiao led the three into the next exhibition room, which was even more pitiful, with only five display cases, and only two of them contained items. Lin Xiaolin looked at them one by one.

One was a vitality block, and the other was a purple tree fruit. Hmm? A tree fruit? Lin Xiaolin was stunned.

Item: Vitality Block

Description: Can instantly revive a dying Pokémon.

Daoji: Purple Mysterious Tree Fruit

Description: Berries of unknown origin, used to craft Poké Balls with an extremely high catch rate.

Lin Xiaolin recalled in his mind that the capture rate was extremely high, and with the purple color, could this be the raw material for a Master Ball?

Wait a minute, let me check the association's information first.

Vitality Block Description: Originating from a small stone that fell from the sky, it possesses abundant life energy; its effects are unknown.

Description of the purple berry: A berry of unknown origin, collected from an underground organization. It never rots, and all Pokémon are afraid of its scent and will avoid it.

"What should I do? I'm so conflicted," Lin Xiaolin thought to herself. "I want the key stone, and I want this too. Ahhh, I want them all! If only I were an adult. Only children make choices; adults choose to have it all."

Seeing Lin Xiaolin's hesitation, Tianxiao assumed she had her eye on one and asked, "Have you chosen one yet?"

"Uncle Tian, ​​can I choose one A-grade and one B-grade? I want both. If not, I can add some Alliance Coins." Lin Xiaolin asked Tian Xiao, conflicted.

Tian Xiao frowned in thought. "This is not something I can decide. After all, the items here can only be redeemed with association points, not just with alliance coins. I'll ask around for you."

As he spoke, Tianxiao took out his phone and started making calls to inquire. A few minutes later, Tianxiao hung up the phone, and Lin Xiaolin's heart was in her throat.

"They said it's possible, but there are conditions. They want to sell one of the Caseys your grandfather bred to the association. The association urgently needs a Casey, so of course they won't take it for free. They'll buy it at double the market price." Tianxiao told Lin Xiaolin all the information he knew.

Lin Xiaolin frowned slightly. Alakazam, Gardevoir, and Rapidash were the foundation of their existence in Star City, and they would never sell them.

"Let me ask my grandpa." With that, Lin Xiaolin took out her phone and told her grandpa the message.

"Xiao Lin, do you really want that research material?" Grandpa didn't directly refuse or agree, but asked from the other end of the line.

Lin Xiaolin understood that her grandfather was asking whether it was worth giving up a Caterpillar, since there was only one Caterpillar in the gym that hadn't been caught yet.

"Yes, I want it." Lin Xiaolin's answer undoubtedly told her grandfather that this thing was absolutely worth it.

"Okay, then go ahead and exchange it. Grandpa will support you unconditionally." Lin Xiaolin has been smart since he was little and wouldn't do anything stupid, which is why Grandpa is willing to believe in him.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaolin felt a strange sense of confidence; this was what it meant to have connections.

"Uncle Tian, ​​it's okay, my grandfather has agreed."

"Okay, then I'll have their professionals fetch it for you." With that, Tianxiao started calling a professional staff member on his phone.

After all, these things can be damaged if you're not careful, so the staff came in and started packing the keystones and purple fruits.

"Uncle Tian, ​​do you know what the association wants Casey for?" Lin Xiaolin asked curiously while they were packing.

"It's said that a superpowered individual has emerged in this year's Future Star competition, and the association is now personally looking for a psychic-type Pokémon for him. I don't know the specifics," Tianxiao said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, okay." Lin Xiaolin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Future Star is an incubation center of the association, similar to an orphanage, a place that provides a way out for talented orphans. Once these people are developed, they will be a great help to the country.

After the staff put the two items into a special black box and handed it to Lin Xiaolin, the three of them got into Tianxiao's car and headed to the dojo.

Since I was carrying such valuable items, I had no choice but to put them back at the dojo before going out to play.

"By the way, Xiao Lin, I have something very serious to tell you," Tian Xiao suddenly said while driving.

"Hmm?" Lin Xiaolin sat up straight immediately. Tianxiao's sudden seriousness must mean something important.

"After the Crocodile Organization encountered you and was discovered, our Dragon Kingdom launched a full-scale search and has wiped out most of the bases. However, for some reason, the Crocodile leader escaped again. Now the association suspects there is a mole within the organization and has begun an investigation."

At this point, Tianxiao gave Lin Xiaolin a knowing look, and then continued...

Chapter 57 Conditions

"Then there's the guy who injured you in Starlight Forest. He's a squad leader from the Crocodile Organization. Things were too rushed at the time, and he managed to escape. But most of his Pokémon have been captured. Right now, we only have one badly injured Sableye. He should still be in Star City. Be careful lately, and we'll capture them as soon as possible."

"Okay." Lin Xiaolin's expression was somewhat heavy. She thought of those sinister eyes again. Would he dare to come looking for revenge? No one could say for sure.

A short while later, the car drove into the dojo, and after dropping the three off, Tianxiao hurriedly left again.
