A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

"Brother, where are your wife and the two little ones?" Lin's mother asked as she put the dishes on the table and patted her hands on her apron.

"Their kids just started their summer vacation, and your sister-in-law took them on a trip. We didn't expect you to be back so soon. They'll probably be back in a week or two."

Xiao Qi's wife was a local commoner. She and Xiao Qi attended the same school when they were young, and they stayed together after graduation. However, due to some issues related to inheriting the dojo, they never got married or had children.

It was only after Lin's mother gave birth to Lin Xiaolin that she was urged to get married by her maternal grandmother. Two years after the marriage, she gave birth to twin daughters, one named Xiao Ling and the other named Xiao Xue.

Because they had lived together at the dojo since they were little, the two kids always followed Lin Xiaolin around. However, they lost touch after Lin Xiaolin went to Jiangcheng.

Lin Xiaolin thought to herself, "The two little ones should be in junior high school by now."

"Those two naughty little ones, I've missed them quite a bit since I last saw them," Lin's mother said with a smile.

Lin Xiaolin was always very quiet and obedient. Compared to Lin Xiaolin, the two little ones were naturally very naughty. They would either go to the back mountain to play with the elves or run around everywhere, causing their family a lot of worry.

There was even one time when she ran away and didn't come back until nightfall, which worried the whole family. In the end, the whole family went out to look for the child. Fortunately, Lin Xiaolin found her in a cave in the back mountain with Xiao Lan, who was still Kirlia at the time.

"Hey, don't even mention it. Luckily, the two little ones have matured and become much more well-behaved since they started junior high. If they were still like before, I would really be worried sick." Xiao Qi said as he sat down at the table, and everyone else also sat around the table.

The family sat around the table, chatting and laughing. Most of their conversation revolved around the embarrassing stories of the kids, leaving Lin Xiaolin speechless.

After the meal, Xiao Qi left because he had some things to do at the dojo in the afternoon, while the others sat and chatted in the living room.

"Xiao Hai, how long are you planning to stay in Xingcheng this time?" Grandma asked Lin's father, since he was a researcher and was always traveling.

"With the success of this research, I should be able to upgrade to a [B] level researcher and apply to the association to build a private research institute. Then I can conduct research in Star City. Unless it's a large-scale research project, other projects will be sent to my research institute by the country, so I won't have to travel all over the world anymore."

Researchers at the [b] level can have their own independent research institute, which is built by the association itself without costing them a penny. However, they still have to pay for their own professional equipment.

"Oh, that's good. You should make some time to spend with Xiao Lin. After all, if you don't spend time with him now, when he goes to college or graduates and starts working, you won't have time for him, just like this old woman." Grandma complained while looking at Lin's mother with a resentful look.

"Oh, Mom, I'm back now, and Dahai said he's settling down in Xingcheng, so we can come visit you every few days." Lin's mother touched her hand shyly.

"Dahai" is Lin's father's nickname; his full name is Lin Hai.

"Hmph, you know it yourselves." Grandma said, and came out of the door with a bag of elf food. This kind of elf food is not like energy cubes, but it is still suitable for elves to eat.

As soon as Grandma opened the door, there were several little Pokémon sitting obediently waiting in the doorway. There were two small Slowpokes, three Finch, and a bunch of Eggs. These Pokémon were bred by Grandpa's gym and were given to gym apprentices and sold to make money.

In fact, there are people who go to feed them energy cubes in their habitat. However, some elf babies are greedy and want more after they finish their own energy cubes, so they come to their grandmothers, who will give them some elf food to satisfy their cravings.

Over time, these young elves learned that as long as they came to this little house at mealtimes, they would get something delicious to eat.

My grandfather's gym didn't train many different types of Pokémon. There was only one Slowpoke group, one Natu group, one Exeggutor group, and also a Poliwrath group and a Shellder group.

These are all common psychic-powered Pokémon, with only a dozen or so Pokémon in each group, but this is already considered a relatively powerful gym.

Aside from some Grass and Bug type gyms, most gyms don't have as many Pokémon as the ones trained by the Grandpa Gym. At most, they just have a wider variety. After all, each Pokémon trained is essentially a money investment. You can't give your apprentice a Pokémon that's not as good as the ones they caught themselves, right?

My grandfather actually had three relatively rare Psychic-type Pokémon under his command: a Gardevoir group, an Alakazam group, and a Galarian Rapidash group, but these three types of Pokémon were extremely rare.

There are only 3 Gardevoirs, which are in the hands of my maternal grandfather, my mother, and Lin Xiaolin respectively.

There are slightly more Alakazam than Gardevoir, a total of four. One is with Xiao Tian, ​​one is with his grandfather, and two of them are still in the forest and have not been captured.

There are even fewer Galarian Rapidash, only two in total, one in my grandfather's possession and the other in my mother's.

These three types were basically left by my maternal grandfather for his own family to use and were not disclosed or sold to outsiders.

"Xiao Lin, how about we try a battle?" Grandpa suddenly stood behind Lin Xiao Lin, who was watching Grandma feed the Pokémon.

"Huh?" Lin Xiaolin was a little surprised, thinking she had misheard.

"I said, do you want to try sparring with Grandpa? Grandpa won't use his full strength, just let you practice." Grandpa repeated.

"But, but I don't have any fairies."

"You have Xiao Lan, right? Xiao Lan will be yours sooner or later. How about trying out a battle with her first?"

"Uh, then I'll ask Sister Xiaolan." After saying that, Lin Xiaolin called out to Xiaolan in his mind. Xiaolan could sense his call as long as she was not far from him.

The next moment, Xiao Lan appeared in front of Lin Xiao Lin.

"Xiao Lin, what's wrong?" Xiao Lan was puzzled as to why Lin Xiao Lin was looking for her so soon. Was something the matter?

"Sister Xiaolan, Grandpa said he wants me to train you and him in a battle so I can get used to being a trainer. I'd like to ask for your opinion." Lin Xiaolin scratched her head shyly.

After all, Xiao Lan was a family member who had grown up with him, and to Lin Xiaolin, Xiao Lan did indeed take care of him like an older sister.

Xiao Lan looked at her grandfather with a puzzled expression. When her grandfather nodded, Xiao Lan said, "I can do anything, but I can't fight. I probably can't beat my master."

"It's alright, it's alright. Grandpa is just practicing with me, he won't use his full strength." Lin Xiaolin quickly waved her hand.

"Well, that's fine."

After discussing it with Xiao Lan, Lin Xiaolin told her grandfather. Her grandfather led Lin Xiaolin to the open space in front of the small building, where Lin's parents and grandmother also came out to watch.

"Then get ready, Little Lin. I'll send you out."

Grandpa pulled a Poké Ball from his waistband, tossed it into the air, and a flash of red light appeared. A Mr. Mime, who looked like a human but also like a circus clown, appeared in the arena. Mr. Mime spread his arms and bounced around a few times as if dancing.

"Glass, glass." The Mr. Mime saw Lin Xiaolin and quickly raised his hand to greet her.

"Mr. Mime, this time Little Scale will be your opponent, so you'd better do your best!" Grandpa's voice came from behind Mr. Mime.

"Glass!" The Mr. Mime immediately became serious upon hearing his grandfather's words.

Chapter 7 Battle

Looking at the panels of both sides, Lin Xiaolin couldn't help but sigh at the huge difference in strength. At the same time, Lin Xiaolin was also extremely nervous, as this was his first time engaging in a Pokémon battle since transmigrating to this world.

"Xiao Lin, you attack first," Grandpa suddenly shouted to Lin Xiao Lin.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony, Sister Xiaolan, time to meditate."

Xiao Lan immediately used Meditation to stack buffs. Although Lin Xiaolin lacked practical experience, he had played Pokémon battles in his previous life. Although he hadn't played many, he wouldn't foolishly let Xiao Lan charge in when there was such a big gap between the two sides.

"Oh? Looks like you're quite clever, kid." Grandpa praised Lin Xiaolin first, then gave the order, "Mr. Mime! Use your telekinesis to interrupt him!"

Mr. Mime's eyes flashed blue, and a surge of superpower energy rushed toward Little Blue.

"Little Blue teleports away to dodge, then uses Meditation again."

By the time Mr. Mime used his telekinesis, it was too late. Little Blue had already completed a meditation before the telekinesis arrived. After completing the meditation, Little Blue teleported away from Mr. Mime's attack and then tried to use meditation again to stack another buff.

"Mr. Magic, Flash!" Suddenly, Mr. Magic burst into light and flew straight toward Little Blue.

"Instant teleport followed by magical flames!" Little Blue used instant teleportation to forcefully dodge the attack, interrupting her meditation.

Little Blue appeared behind Mr. Mime, her hands outstretched, and a burst of brilliant flame shot out from her hands toward Mr. Mime.

"Mr. Mime, protect."

A protective shield appeared on the Mr. Mime, perfectly blocking the damage from the magical flames. But just then, Lin Xiaolin's eyes lit up.

"Little Blue, use 'One More Time'!" Little Blue immediately used 'One More Time' on the Mr. Mime who had used 'Protect'. Just as Lin Xiaolin was about to press her advantage while Mr. Mime was hit by 'One More Time', her grandfather stopped her with a wave of his hand.

"Alright, that's all for now." Lin Xiaolin wiped the sweat from his brow; he had been incredibly nervous just now.

"Little Scale, I've noticed several problems with you from this battle." With that, Grandpa casually put Mr. Mime back into his Poké Ball.

"First, look at Xiao Lan's condition." Hearing her grandfather's words, Lin Xiaolin glanced at Xiao Lan, who was standing there panting heavily, clearly looking very tired.

"Xiao Lan has only fought a handful of times and lacks practical experience. She doesn't have a very precise control over the energy in her body. She might use a lot of energy to power a small skill, thus wasting most of it. Just like that magical flame just now, it far exceeded the energy requirements for normal use of magical flame. Not to mention that magical flame is a powerful move, which consumes a lot of energy. Of course, this problem can only be solved through your continuous training in the future."

As Grandpa was speaking, Grandma's Lucky Egg ran to Little Blue's side and used a Life Drop on Little Blue.

The healing skills in this world are somewhat different from those in the game in my previous life; they can heal not only injuries but also stamina.
