A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

As he spoke, Lin's father rubbed his eyes, looking tired and showing none of the energy he had when he was doing research.

"So, where are you on your journey?"

"I've already made three Poké Balls, but I don't plan to release them yet. I'll wait until I've made one set first."

"Then you'd better work hard. There are only nine months left until the research competition." Lin Xiaolin calculated that her father had been doing this research for three months, and making three Poké Balls in three months was already quite fast.

"By the way, let me see those three you made." Lin Xiaolin suddenly became interested in this.

Lin's father stood up, walked to a safe at the back, took out a box, and presented it to Lin Xiaolin, opening it.

The box contained three Poké Balls: a black Heavy Ball, a dark blue Dive Ball, and a light blue Flying Ball.

"Not bad, Dad." Lin Xiaolin picked up the Poké Ball to examine it; the Poké Ball was indeed well-made.

"That's right. Don't you know who your father is? These black Poké Balls are specifically for catching large Pokémon, the dark blue ones are for catching Water-type Pokémon, and the light blue ones are for catching Flying-type Pokémon."

Fearing that Lin Xiaolin wouldn't understand, Lin's father explained the purpose of the three Poké Balls to him.

"By the way, I have some suggestions for you, do you want to hear them?" Lin Xiaolin played with the flying ball and looked at her father.

Mr. Lin sat up straight immediately and said, "Now that you're talking about this, I'm not sleepy anymore."

"Tell me quickly!"

"I suddenly thought of something the other day, like a Poké Ball that's basically the same as a Poké Ball but with an increased catch rate, or a Poké Ball that allows the Pokémon to slowly recover from injuries and stamina inside the Poké Ball after being caught." Lin Xiaolin stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

Lin's father's eyes grew brighter and brighter. "Good lad, you're the smartest one. Take care, I won't see you off. I'm going to do my research now."

As he spoke, Lin's father did a somersault, showing no signs of fatigue, and rushed downstairs.

Lin Xiaolin: "......"

For the next few days, Lin Xiaolin stayed at home. The only change was that the housekeeper was replaced. Aunt Jiang was eventually released. Old Master Xiao didn't make things too difficult for her because of her many years of service to the Xiao family. However, it is said that she still wants to go back to work for the Xiao family.

Old Master Xiao has already been quite kind-hearted; he didn't send her to jail, which is already a consideration for her many years of service to the Xiao family. How could she still want to come back?

Lin Xiaolin didn't know much about the specifics, since as long as her fruit was back, she didn't care much about anything else.

The new nanny is a girl named Liu Yao, who is Aunt Liu's niece. She is not much older than Lin Xiaolin, only twenty years old. Her family can only be considered middle-class, so she cannot be a trainer.

Then, as soon as there was a vacancy at the Xiao family's place, Aunt Liu quickly invited her to come for an interview. After all, the Xiao family was considered a very conscientious employer, and their wages were much higher than the market rate. Earning 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month was no problem.

Lin Xiaolin also took a look at the girl named Liu Yao. She wasn't very pretty; her skin was yellowish, and she had some freckles on her face. She looked like the kind of person who did a lot of manual labor.

That's reality. Only truly wealthy families can afford to provide each of their children with Pokémon. For ordinary middle-class families, it's a huge gamble if their children want to become Pokémon Trainers.

If you win the gamble, your whole family will enjoy the good life. But if you lose, you'll wipe out the savings of several generations and even be left with a mountain of debt. Moreover, 80% of ordinary trainers have no way out.

For them, becoming a forest ranger is already a great achievement, and they dare not aspire to a higher position.

This is why the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. In China, this phenomenon is relatively good because China provides subsidies to ordinary trainers. Although the subsidies are not much, they can at least alleviate some of the pressure.

Moreover, powerful forces don't dare to openly bully ordinary people. Generally speaking, if you don't go too far, they won't bother to bully you. After all, it's a thankless task, and if the association finds out, you'll suffer serious consequences.

Liu Yao was a little timid when she first arrived, but the Xiao family was quite tolerant of her, and she became familiar with them after a few days.

Finally, on the fifth day of the holiday, Lin Xiaolin and her mother had just finished eating when a package was delivered to them by a receptionist. It was supposedly for Lin Xiaolin.

When Lin Xiaolin opened the package, he saw the ordinary-level trainer license he had been longing for.

"What is it?" Lin's mother asked from the side.

"My Ordinary Trainer License." Lin Xiaolin handed the license in his hand to his mother.

"Oh, then we can transfer Xiao Lan to your name this afternoon."

"Mmm." Although Lin Xiaolin couldn't tell on his face, he was incredibly excited inside. Finally, Xiao Lan was officially mine! Hahaha!

Chapter 61 Level

"By the way, Mom, do you have any jewelry shops that make custom jewelry?" Lin Xiaolin asked.

"I do have that, but jewelry? You want it? No, you already have a girl you like, don't you?" Lin's mother said, giving a knowing look.

Lin Xiaolin: "???"

"What nonsense! I had a gemstone before, and I wanted to make it into a bracelet to wear on my wrist." Lin Xiaolin couldn't help but admire her mother's imagination.

"Oh, it's that gemstone you had before, but isn't it too big? Won't it be uncomfortable to wear?" Lin's mother thought for a moment; the seven-colored beads were as big as ping-pong balls.

"It's alright, I'll ask the jeweler for his advice this afternoon, and you can take me there then."

In the afternoon, Lin's mother and Lin Xiaolin went out together. First, they went to a jewelry store that Lin's mother frequented to order a bracelet with a keystone that was easy to carry.

The wristband is about eight centimeters wide, fitting perfectly on the wrist. It is entirely woven from silver thread and inlaid with a keystone at the top. It feels cool to the touch and has no adverse effects.

Lin Xiaolin played with the keystone in her hand, admiring it so much that even the shop assistant and Lin's mother couldn't put it down.

The silver-woven wristband wasn't particularly attractive, but the moment the keystone was inlaid, the difference between the two was like that between a swan and an ugly duckling.

Because she couldn't bear to let the keystone out of her sight, Lin Xiaolin practically watched over the entire process of others making jewelry. Only after it was finished did she wear her wristband and walk out of the jewelry store with her mother, feeling satisfied.

"What kind of bead is this that you value so much?" Lin's mother asked, looking at Lin Xiaolin's expression, which seemed reluctant to let anyone else touch it.

"You'll know about this later; it will be priceless then." Lin Xiaolin's eyes were only on her keystone, and she kept stroking the wristband on her hand.

"Well, you and your dad always talk the same way." Lin's mother turned her head speechlessly.

The two took a taxi to the Trainers Association, and after a series of complicated procedures, they finally transferred Blue to Lin Xiaolin's name.

Lin Xiaolin chuckled as he held Xiao Lan's Poké Ball.

"Don't have another episode, let's go." Lin's mother patted Lin Xiaolin's back and then walked outside.

Back home, Lin Xiaolin went straight to his grandfather. Now that Xiao Lan was his Pokémon, he could finally begin training Xiao Lan. He would have to ask his grandfather for help with that.

"Xiao Lin, do you know how Pokémon levels are divided?" Grandpa and Lin Xiao Lin stood in an open space, while Xiao Lan and Xin Lin Bao stared at each other in the open space.

Xiao Lan was overjoyed to learn that she could train with Lin Xiaolin.

"This?" Lin Xiaolin scratched his head. He really didn't know this. He only knew about the classification of Pokémon levels, but he had never learned about the origin of Pokémon levels.

"The Pokémon levels are divided into Birth Stage, Baby Stage, Normal Stage, Elite Stage, Leader Stage, Elite Stage, Champion Stage, and then Champion and Master Stage. There can't just be so many levels, can there?"

Grandpa sat down directly on the lawn, and Lin Xiaolin sat down as well, listening to his explanation.

"This kind of knowledge is something you'll only learn in university. In high school, just focus on training your Pokémon's physique and skills. Don't worry about anything else. Very, very few people can raise a Pokémon to elite level in three years. Even your grandpa can't. I'm telling you this in advance today."

During the birth period, you don't need to worry about the spirit. Just make sure it eats well, drinks well, and rests well. It will grow on its own. However, you should always pay attention to the spirit's emotional changes.

In the early stages, most Pokémon are quite playful and need to be properly trained by their trainers. They need appropriate training every day, but the training time should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the Pokémon's development. Also, the Pokémon need to start to gradually come into contact with Pokémon power.

Normal level: Pokémon at this stage are considered adults. They need to constantly hone their skills, absorb Pokémon power, and train their bodies to try to reach the Elite level as soon as possible. This is also one of the most expensive stages for Pokémon. For example, Jangmo-o is constantly absorbing the power of Dragon Gems. Without items like Dragon Gems, progress would be extremely slow, and it might take four or five years to reach the Elite level.

Elite level: At this stage, the Pokémon can perfectly control its own power, use skills very skillfully, and have a lot of Pokémon power in its body. At this stage, it is no longer necessary to absorb Pokémon power, but it is not that it does not absorb at all. Instead, most of the time spent absorbing Pokémon power should be used for training to improve its own Pokémon power and learn different skills. This is also a relatively expensive stage, requiring the purchase of many Pokémon learning devices.

Lord level: When an elf's own elven power has been honed to its limit, it will enter this stage. Once it truly reaches this stage, it must begin to refine itself further, making the elf give up most of the skills learned in its youth, leaving only a few very powerful skills, and continuously refining and improving them.

However, this is not absolute; it depends on the Pokémon's will. For example, my grandfather's Gardevoir, now a near-Elite Four member, still retains the Shadow Clone move because it was a move she used to constantly improve herself when she was young.

The next stage is the Quasi-Elite Four level, which is what I'm at now. What I need to do is achieve perfect unity of mind and body, exploring a mysterious power. The spirit's own strength will continuously improve during this exploration, eventually reaching the Elite Four level. But this is not a simple matter. Do you know about the Eighteen Elite Four of the Dragon Kingdom?

As they were talking, Grandpa suddenly asked Lin Xiaolin a question.

"Ah? I know, they correspond to the Heavenly Kings of the eighteen attributes respectively." Lin Xiaolin shared what she knew.

"Yes, corresponding to the eighteen types of Elite Four members, each Elite Four member will choose three Pokémon of the same type. Why not choose different Pokémon? Wouldn't different Pokémon have a wider range of attacks?"

Lin Xiaolin pondered. He had thought about this question before, and in the end, he could only conclude that it would be easier and cheaper to train a few spirits of the same attribute.

“I know what you’re thinking, because I was also puzzled by this before. But the ultimate goal of three Pokémon of the same type is to explore that mysterious power at the same time and reach the Elite Four level at the same time. If I had to make an analogy, you could say that it takes about 20 years for a near-Elite Four Pokémon to reach the Elite Four level, but it only takes 5 years for three near-Elite Four Pokémon of the same type to reach the Elite Four level together.”

As Grandpa spoke, he gave Lin Xiaolin a deep look. Lin Xiaolin frowned. What was this? He had never heard of it before. What was this mysterious power?

"Can't a Celestial-level Pokémon guide a Quasi-Celestial-level Pokémon?" Lin Xiaolin asked.

"Haha, clever, but can you think of things that others can't? Every Pokémon's path to becoming a Champion is different. Providing unauthorized guidance may cause other Pokémon's strength to regress instead of increase, or even prevent them from ever reaching the Champion level. Only Pokémon of the same type who have been together for a long time and have a good relationship can explore the path to Champion together. There are no shortcuts on this path."

Grandpa smiled as he watched Xinlinbao running around on the grass.

"This is also a major fork in the road. Without the guidance of a trainer, Pokémon will take many detours. This is why some wild Pokémon don't break through to the Elite Four level even after fifty or sixty years or even a hundred years. Okay, I've told you so much, you should understand Blue's training method now."

"Okay, I understand, but I'm still a little confused about what that mysterious power that allowed the Pokémon to break through to Elite Four is?" Lin Xiaolin asked, voicing her doubts.

"You'll know when you arrive." This time, Grandpa didn't answer, leaving Lin Xiaolin in suspense.

-

I've had some free time these past few days, so I should be able to post three chapters a day. I'll post my draft from yesterday for you guys to see first. I'll still post two chapters tonight as usual. If I post three chapters in the future, I'll post one at noon. If I don't post one at noon, then it'll be two chapters.

Even if the gift pool is full, I'll still update as usual. Two or three updates a day won't affect the extra chapters! ＜(￣︶￣)↗[GO!]

Chapter 62 A Belated Revenge

"Alright, it's no use knowing all this now. You'll have to figure it out yourself in the future. Right now, the most important thing is Xiao Lan's training."

"Little Blue's biggest advantage right now is that she hasn't undergone systematic training, but her strength has already reached the elite level. She's like a blank sheet of paper that absorbs water very quickly; she can learn anything very quickly, unlike Heartscale Pokémon, which might require dozens or hundreds of repetitions to learn a skill. But Little Blue might learn it in just a few repetitions. That's the advantage of a companion Pokémon; it can quickly boost your combat power and help you train any new Pokémon you capture." Grandpa said, looking at Little Blue again.

"Chirp?" Xinlinbao tilted her head, suspecting that her grandfather was indirectly saying that she was stupid, but she had no proof.

"Your most important task right now is to train Xiao Lan's existing skills. Xiao Lan's skills are far from being polished enough. She was able to reach the elite level entirely because of the power of the elves and her talent. It's not time for her to learn skills yet. You need to stay by Xiao Lan's side and watch over her. Not only does Xiao Lan need to master the skills, but you also need to master Xiao Lan's skills, be familiar with the cost, power, and casting time of her skills. Go."
