A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

The first thing Lin Xiaolin did after returning to the dojo was to secretly hide two items in the bedside table.

"Damn, why are you hiding it so well? Are you afraid there are thieves in your house?" Yan Fan said speechlessly from the side. Could someone really dare to come to the dojo to steal things?

Grandpa Xiao may be old, but his Pokémon are not. Grandpa Xiao is a true near-Elite Four trainer. If you come to his house to steal something, you don't have to worry about not being able to use it even if you have the chance to take it.

"You don't understand. It's better to be cautious. You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against them," Qin Lele said from the side.

"Alright, now that we've put it away, let's go. Didn't you say you were going to play this afternoon?" Lin Xiaolin stood up and looked at the two of them after putting it away.

"Let's go, let's set off!" Yan Fan said, and walked straight out.

As for that sewer rat hiding in Star City? The Gengar in Yan Fan's shadow is no mere decoration. Its presence actually makes things easier for them, as they no longer need to worry about being secretly attacked in the future.

As soon as Lin Xiaolin stepped out the door, she saw Aunt Jiang mopping the floor in the corridor.

"Aunt Jiang, I won't be home for dinner tonight. Please tell my mom if she comes back."

After saying that, Lin Xiaolin waved to Aunt Jiang and ran out with Yan Fan.

"By the way, Yan Fan." As the three of them walked along the road, Lin Xiaolin suddenly spoke up.

“I gave your name when I was arrested. Your father’s name is quite intimidating. Be careful lately, I’m afraid he might retaliate against the wrong person and actually come after you,” Lin Xiaolin said seriously.

"Huh? This? I'd love for him to come looking for me. I'll make sure he never leaves!" Yan Fan said with a chuckle.

night--

After dinner, Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan parted ways. Lin Xiaolin took a taxi and headed towards the dojo. As soon as Lin Xiaolin left, Yan Fan's face immediately turned serious, and he took out his phone to make a call he hadn't made in a long time.

"Hello?" A gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Old man, do me a favor," Yan Fan said directly.

"That's not like you at all. What's wrong? I'm open to considering anything as long as it's not about Lele." A nonchalant voice came from the other end of the phone.

Qin Lele, who was standing next to Yan Fan, glared at him. She realized that Yan Fan had actually told his father about their engagement being called off.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It happened a long time ago." Yan Fan apologized directly, admitting his mistake. A real man never argues with a woman.

"Oh? Lele is here too. Come on, let your uncle have a chat with you."

"No need, old man, I really have something urgent to attend to this time. Do you remember what happened to me in the Starry Forest last time?" Yan Fan said suddenly, sounding somewhat serious.

"I remember, but the association should have handled it all by now, right? I can't make the decision on this matter. After all, it was the association that took over. What can a businessman like me do?"

"It's not that I want you to do that. I was captured by a squad leader in Starlight Forest. Although I escaped, that guy is quite vengeful and is currently in Star City. I want you to help me find him."

Yan Fan specifically replaced Lin Xiaolin with him, otherwise he was afraid that the old man would not do his best, after all, the old man rarely does thankless work.

"Is that Lin Xiaolin?" a teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You investigated me?" Yan Fan immediately became wary.

"It's hardly an investigation, since the association has records of it. It's easy for me to check the records. But is someone like that worth you coming to me personally?" The voice on the other end of the phone became more serious.

Yan Fan remained silent for a long time before exhaling. "I'll ask you for a favor: help me take down that guy from Xingcheng."

"Hahaha, I never expected that after all these years of pestering you, you would agree to something for a kid. I'm actually a little interested in that kid." A happy laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. I'm hanging up." Yan Fan said and hung up immediately, leaving Qin Lele standing to the side.

"What did you promise your uncle?" Qin Lele asked curiously.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

Lin Xiaolin dragged his tired body home. Going out for a day was really exhausting for this shut-in.

Lin Xiaolin lay down on the sofa, while her mother watched TV and peeled an apple.

"Where did you go today?" Lin's mother asked casually while peeling an apple.

"I just wandered around the city aimlessly, going wherever looked fun, and it really exhausted me."

"Look at you, you don't practice much, you just play at home all day. You get tired after just a few steps outside. Have an apple." Lin's mother said, handing a peeled apple to Lin Xiaolin.

Lin Xiaolin took it and started eating it.

"By the way, I haven't seen Dad come back in so long. How's his research going?" Lin Xiaolin asked while munching on an apple.

"When I went there yesterday, it seemed like your dad was making pretty good progress. He's been completely obsessed lately, doing research every day. He forgets to eat, and sometimes he even forgets to sleep." Lin's mother shrugged helplessly.

"Oh, okay, I'll go check on him tomorrow." Lin Xiaolin was also planning to check on her father's experimental progress, since she was holding the raw materials for a Master Ball and wondered when he would finish making it.

Although Master Balls aren't as foolproof as in the games, they're hundreds of times more advanced than regular Poké Balls. I'll keep them on hand just in case, in case I encounter a legendary Pokémon hatchling someday? Hehehe.

You mean you encountered a mythical beast? When you encounter a mythical beast, the question isn't about taming it, but about how to prevent it from 'taming' you.

After finishing the apple, he threw the core into the nearby trash can and made a perfect three-pointer. Lin Xiaolin thought to himself, "As expected of me!"

"I'm going to play in my room." After throwing away the apple core, Lin Xiaolin got up and walked towards the bedroom.

"Go to bed early tonight, don't stay up too late," Lin's mother reminded her from behind.

"Okay." I agreed verbally, but not staying out too late? How could I? This is the prime holiday time; I have to make the most of every minute.

Back in her room, Lin Xiaolin turned on her computer and sent a message to Yan Fan.

Scales: [Above?]

Brahma: [Let's go!]

Two words explained everything. After opening the game, Lin Xiaolin suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but want to check on her treasures. She opened the drawer, and two black boxes appeared before her eyes.

Lin Xiaolin opened the keystone box and couldn't help but admire the keystone that was radiating seven-colored light. This was her lifeline from now on. She should find someone to decorate it so that she could carry it with her at all times.

Lin Xiaolin picked up two boxes and placed them next to the computer desk. Suddenly, she sensed something was wrong and opened one of the boxes.

"Where the hell are my fruits?!" Lin Xiaolin roared so loudly that even his mother, who was sitting in the living room, could hear him.

"What are you doing? What's wrong with you?" Lin's mother hurriedly walked to the door of the room and looked at him.

"Mom, Mom, did you take the things from my box? A purple fruit." Lin Xiaolin was so excited that she almost couldn't speak.

"Fruit? I didn't take any. Why would I come into your room for no reason? By the way, the beads on your hand are quite pretty. Where did you buy them?"

Lin's mother was now curiously examining the keystone.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to find Grandpa!" Lin Xiaolin dashed outside.

"Hey!" Before Lin's mother could react, Lin Xiaolin brushed past her and ran straight towards the elevator.

Lin's mother also hurriedly chased after them.

Lin Xiaolin's mind was in a mess. Who? Who could steal my fruit right under the noses of so many psychic Pokémon in the Psychic Gym?

But he didn't have time to think too much about it. He could only go to his grandfather first. Only his grandfather could solve this problem. The person who could steal the fruit so quietly must not be an ordinary person.

The elevator reached the first floor, and Lin Xiaolin ran quickly towards her grandfather's residence. Unfortunately, due to the prosthetic leg, she could only run with a limp, leaving everyone around her bewildered.

"Xiao Lin, what's wrong?" Lin Xiao Lin's strange actions startled Xiao Lan, who was cultivating in the superpower room, and she quickly teleported to his side.

"Little... Little Blue. Little Blue Sister, hurry, quickly teleport me to Grandpa's place!" Lin Xiaolin gasped for breath, not having time to explain.

Xiao Lan also realized the seriousness of the situation, and instantly teleported. The next moment, Lin Xiaolin and Xiao Lan were teleported to the living room of their maternal grandparents' house, startling their grandparents who were watching TV.

"What's wrong, Xiao Lin?" Grandma quickly got up and helped Lin Xiao Lin, who was about to fall.

"Grandpa, it's me." Lin Xiaolin gasped for breath, unable to speak clearly for a moment.

"Tell me slowly, tell me slowly." Grandma patted Lin Xiaolin's back to help him catch his breath.

"Phew~" After more than ten seconds, Lin Xiaolin finally recovered a bit.

"Grandpa, my things were stolen. It was the A-grade research materials I took from the association today." Lin Xiaolin explained the situation in the shortest possible terms.

"What! Where were you stolen from?" Grandpa immediately stood up and quickly asked Lin Xiaolin.

"It's in my room. When I came back this afternoon, I put everything in my bedside table. I just checked, and the box and the other thing are still there, but the Grade A research material is missing," Lin Xiaolin said hurriedly.

Grandpa frowned instantly. Who could steal something so quietly right under his nose?

"Let me ask about the situation at the association," Grandpa said, taking out his phone to call someone in the association.

Everyone entering and leaving the city needs to register. By checking who has entered and left Xingcheng in the past two days, we can see who has the ability to steal things right under our noses.

Grandpa took out his phone and started asking questions. Just then, Lin's mother also ran over.

"Xiao Lin, what's wrong? Why are you running so fast?" Lin's mother asked, panting.

"Mom, I lost a document I kept in my room. It was a Grade A research document, which was compensation from the association. I hid it in my bedside table this afternoon, and it was gone by evening, so I came to ask Grandpa right away." Lin Xiaolin explained to her mother briefly.

"Huh? It can be lost even if it's in the room?" Lin's mother was also extremely shocked.
