A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

"Good morning, Xiao Lin. You're here so early today." Senior Lan Tian greeted Lin Xiao Lin with his buzzing bat.

"Good morning, seniors. You all arrived so early." Lin Xiaolin scratched the back of his head.

"Haha, that's all. It's just to get stronger. After all, the school team is very competitive, and you can easily get squeezed out if you're not careful," Lan Tian said jokingly.

Lin Xiaolin greeted several senior students and then entered the speed and reaction training room.

Just as Lin Xiaolin sat down in the small room and released Xiao Lan and Xinlinbao, her phone rang.

Lin Xiaolin took it out and saw that it was Director Zheng's WeChat phone number. Lin Xiaolin clicked to answer.

"Hello, Director Zheng?"

"Xiao Lin, the matter of your former classmate has been investigated and clarified." Director Zheng's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Huh? What happened?"

"Let me explain slowly. This matter is also related to you." Director Zheng said this, and Lin Xiaolin frowned slightly. It was related to him?

"Let me tell you about that red bead first. That bead is called the Life Bead. It can absorb the life force of a spirit and make it grow stronger quickly. That Windball is almost drained dry; it won't last much longer."

As for your classmate Liao Wei, his family is just an ordinary one, and he obtained the Pearl of Life by chance.

And this situation is somewhat related to you...

Chapter 73 Pre-match Preparations 1

"The person who gave him the Life Pearl was a man named Sun Wei. This is the person we have been hunting down. He is the squad leader from the Crocodile Organization who escaped to Xingcheng."

Lin Xiaolin immediately began to ponder. It seemed that Tian Xiao was right; that squad leader really was planning to take revenge on him in Xingcheng.

"So, have you caught that person yet?" Lin Xiaolin asked over the phone.

"Well, it's strange, really. We were trying to catch that guy, and as soon as the news came out, I was going to report it to my superiors and ask them to increase the police force and send more people. But the next day, Sun Wei's body appeared at the entrance of the Security Bureau. We couldn't even find it in the surveillance footage. The body just appeared out of thin air. I thought it was Old Master Xiao who did it."

Director Zheng on the other end of the phone was also shocked that Lin Xiaolin was unaware of this matter.

Lin Xiaolin pondered, only two types of Pokémon can appear out of thin air: the first is the Psychic-type Pokémon that can teleport, and the second is the Ghost-type Pokémon that can appear and disappear unpredictably.

It seemed most likely that his grandfather was behind this, Lin Xiaolin was certain in his mind. He guessed that his grandfather didn't want any of them to tell anyone, so he didn't tell him.

"As for Liao Wei, since he is currently a minor, not even 16 years old, the punishment for being a wanted criminal is not very severe. However, he knew that the Life Orb was harmful to Pokémon and still used it on his own Pokémon, which seriously violated the Trainer Law. He will be imprisoned for 8 years and stripped of his Trainer status for life."

"Okay, Director Zheng, I understand. Thank you for informing me." Lin Xiaolin quickly thanked him after confirming.

"It's nothing. We should thank Grandpa Xiao for this. It saved us a lot of trouble. We wish Xiao Lin all the best in his studies. I have other things to attend to, so I'll hang up now."

Director Zheng hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

This shows how strict the laws protecting elves are in the Dragon Kingdom. All acts that harm elves are strictly prohibited. If Liao Wei hadn't been a minor and not yet 16, he would have faced at least 15 years in prison, and in serious cases, even the death penalty.

As for Sun Wei's affair, it seems that Director Zheng still believes that it was Old Master Xiao who did it, but he just didn't tell Lin Xiaolin.

After all, in Star City, being able to crush a Lord-level Soul-Hook Eye and make a corpse suddenly appear at the entrance of the Security Bureau without anyone noticing, all these anchor points point to one person, namely Xiao Tian, ​​the quasi-Heavenly King-level superpower gym leader!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaolin shook her head. Sun Wei was dead; now she could finally put her mind at ease.

Without thinking too much, Lin Xiaolin began to focus on training Xinlinbao and Xiaolan.

-

Time flies, and the training period is always both tight and fast-paced. In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

Over the past month, Xiao Lan's speed and reaction time seemed to have reached a bottleneck. She no longer relied on the rubber ball in the speed training room for training. Every day, apart from training with Lin Xiao Lin's skills, she spent the rest of her time meditating to enhance her superpower attributes.

Xiao Lan said she felt she was about to enter the next stage, which was not about level, but about strength and mental state. Although Xiao Lan looked like an elite-level Pokémon, due to a long period of no training, her strength was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary-level Pokémon.

Xiao Lan's use and execution of superpowers are equivalent to the ordinary level.

To put it simply, each level corresponds to a bucket and a pipe of a certain size. The bucket contains the power of the spirit, but the pipe is used to release skills and fight.

Xiao Lan's own 'bucket' is already of elite size, but Xiao Lan's 'pipes' are far from being there. It can only be said that he has the power but doesn't know how to use it.

Xiao Lan is currently focusing on improving herself and catching up to the elite level as soon as possible. Compared to Xiao Lan, Xin Lin Bao can only be described as pathetic.

Xinlinbao has finally adapted to fourth gear and will no longer encounter the behavior of its hands and feet not keeping up with its brain. However, the biggest problem now is that Xinlinbao's center of gravity is unstable.

Once the gravity was increased to level two, which is 1.5 times, Xinlinbao walked unsteadily. When asked, Tang Tian said that Xinlinbao's problem was a typical case of poor body coordination and that it could only be solved by more practice.

There was nothing Lin Xiaolin could do but continue training with Xinlinbao in the speed training room, while Shi Yu and Shi Anyang had already been taken to train by Tang Tian half a month ago.

Combusken and Riolu did not experience the same issue with Jangmo-o, mainly because they trained in fighting alongside their trainers from a young age and have excellent coordination and control over their bodies.

Lin Xiaolin got up early that morning. Today was June 4th, the day before the preliminary round of the college league.

Students from the other two high schools will be visiting No. 1 High School today and will stay for a day. The competition will officially begin tomorrow.

Lin Xiaolin and his five friends put on their school uniforms and headed to the school team's training ground. Once there, Tang Tian began to speak.

"Tomorrow is the preliminary round of the college league. Today, the team members from No. 2 High School and No. 3 High School will come to visit the school. You reserve players should all rest today and prepare for tomorrow's match. However, if you have time, you can go and see the team members from No. 2 High School and No. 3 High School."

After saying this, Tang Tian gestured for Lin Xiaolin and the other four to leave.

The five of them were walking back to their dormitory.

"Xiao Lin, how about we go check out which school teams are coming this afternoon? I heard from Lao Tang that they're supposed to be here around 2 PM," Yan Fan asked, putting his arm around Lin Xiao Lin's shoulder.

"Let's talk about it this afternoon. Shall we go back and play a couple of rounds?" Lin Xiaolin glanced at him.

"Okay!" With that, the two walked straight back to their dormitory.

"These two guys, all they do is play video games all day long," Qin Lele said grumbling from behind.

"Haha, after all, everyone needs to have some hobbies. It's so boring to do nothing all day." Shi Yuqin said beside Lele.

"Hey~"

After lunch, Lin Xiaolin took a nice nap before getting up to go see the members of the Second and Third High Schools.

Lin Xiaolin never used to take naps, but ever since Xinlinbao hatched, newborn Pokémon tend to sleep more during their daily lives, and Lin Xiaolin has also picked up the 'bad habit' of taking naps.

After all, it's a luxury to spend a beautiful midday nap.

After getting up, Lin Xiaolin took Xinlinbao out with her. Xinlinbao didn't need to train today. After absorbing the power of the spirits in the morning, Lin Xiaolin planned to take him out for a walk in the afternoon.

The five of them left the dormitory together and walked towards the playground.

When I got to the playground, it was deserted. Students from other classes were either in class or out carrying out tasks assigned by the association. Only they were so free.

When they got to the playground, Lin Xiaolin lay down on the grass, and Xinlinbao followed suit.

The four of them sat on the playground, basking in the warm sun. The sun was unusually mild today, and it felt pleasantly warm on their skin.

As for sunbathing at other times? Just wait and see if the June sun will give you a sunburn.

Chapter 74 Pre-match Preparations 2

The five students were enjoying the warm sunshine on the playground when, after a short while, two buses drove into the school.

The bus stopped at the school gate, and more than a dozen students got off. Some were wearing the uniforms of No. 2 Middle School, some were wearing the uniforms of No. 3 Middle School, and two middle-aged men who looked like teachers got off the bus.

A dozen or so people got off the bus and began to look around curiously, not noticing the five people on the playground. A little while later, two teachers came down from the teaching building.

Lin Xiaolin recognized them; these were the grade directors for the first and second years of high school. The two grade directors greeted the group first, and then began to show them around the campus.

Lin Xiaolin and the others ignored them and continued to lie on the playground, enjoying the quiet midday time.

How long has it been since I've had this much free time? And how long has it been since I've been able to lie down so peacefully? Lin Xiaolin thought to herself.

Since entering the school, I've been busy with training every day. Especially now that I've joined the school team, I'm even busier. I wish I could stretch a day into two. It's rare to have such a quiet time.

Before the group could rest for a while, the two grade directors led the students from the second and third high schools to the playground.

"Teacher, we've seen most of your students either in class or training. Why are there students skipping class here?"

Standing on the edge of the playground, a student from No. 2 High School asked the head of the grade of No. 1 High School a question. The head of the grade also glanced in the direction of Lin Xiaolin and his group of five.

"They are rather special students, haha, you'll find out tomorrow," the head of the grade said with a smile.

"Oh? No. 1 High School has special students?" The student from No. 2 High School who asked the question immediately looked at him with disdain.

After all, in his opinion, their own school had never had any special students. He didn't expect that No. 1 High School would have one. It seems that No. 1 High School has been in power for too long and has become corrupt.

Lin Xiaolin and her group of five ignored the others. Just then, Qin Lele seemed to remember something and took out a bag of cookies from her small bag and placed it among the group.

"I almost forgot, I also brought some cookies today, let's eat them together." Qin Lele said, picking up a cookie and eating it.

Ever since Qin Lele tasted the cookies baked by Lin Xiaolin's grandmother, she has been longing for them for a long time. She even followed Lin Xiaolin's grandmother to learn how to bake cookies for a long time. Now she often bakes cookies herself and brings them to school for the others to eat.

Lin Xiaolin sat up and took out a piece to eat. As soon as Xinlinbao saw the food, he immediately rolled over and ran over as well.

Qin Lele fed a piece to Jangmo-o. Dratini didn't want to come out and play, Snorunt was afraid of the heat, Riolu and Combusken didn't want to rest and were still training, so only Jangmo-o was so lazy.

At this moment, students from No. 2 and No. 3 High Schools walked over with their teachers.
