A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

"Guest, I've already sent you the details on my phone. You can just go directly there."

"Ok."

Lin Xiaolin stood up and greeted the girl.

"Hello, my name is Lin Xiaolin."

"Hello, my name is Xia Ri. Please excuse me for the next three days."

Xia Ri had a smile on her face, and when Lin Xiaolin shook hands with her, he could clearly feel the calluses on her hands, indicating that she was a well-trained girl.

However, Xia Ri's muscles are not muscular; instead, they are very compact, not like muscles developed through training in a gym, but rather naturally formed.

With her height of over 1.7 meters, the abs revealed by her crop top, and her pretty face, Lin Xiaolin thought Xia Ri was quite beautiful.

"Let's go." With that, Xia Ri led Lin Xiaolin out the door.

"Young boss, where are you planning to go first?" Xia Ri asked Lin Xiaolin as she turned around.

"Let's go to the supermarket first. I haven't bought anything yet, so I need to do a big shopping trip."

The summer spirits are a Finch and a Charizard.

She had Lin Xiaolin ride a Flying Arrow Sparrow, while she herself rode a Charizard flying in front of the Flying Arrow Sparrow to shield Lin Xiaolin from the wind.

Lin Xiaolin examined them carefully and found that both Pokémon were elite-level.

Chapter 114 Fiery Volcano

Having a Flying-type Pokémon really makes a difference; it only took a dozen minutes to fly to the entrance of the largest supermarket in Fengdu.

I did a big shopping spree at the supermarket.

I originally wanted to buy some for Xia Ri, but Xia Ri kept waving her hands, indicating that she had already prepared them, so I gave up.

However, it's inconvenient without Yan Fan's Gengar; you can only buy a little bit of things.

Fortunately, there's a high-tech backpack that can be folded to hold more space, but it can only increase the capacity; the weight remains the same.

It is said that it was developed by a researcher based on the Poké Ball.

It's seriously expensive! The food and sleeping bag only cost a few thousand yuan, but this backpack costs fifty thousand yuan, and it's only a 1:3 space backpack. It looks 1 meter high and half a meter wide on the outside, but it's much bigger inside.

After buying almost everything, they left. Xia Ri let Charizard carry Lin Xiaolin's spatial backpack, and only then did Lin Xiaolin notice that Charizard was carrying another backpack on its other paw.

This must be summer luggage.

The two elves flew through the air, and Lin Xiaolin was drenched in sweat from the sun.

I felt like I was completely soaked.

Before long, they flew out of the city and all the way to the entrance of the Blazing Volcano.

The Flaming Volcano is a nature reserve next to Fengdu, named after a huge volcano located within it.

Moreover, this volcano is active, and it's impossible to predict when it might erupt, so Fengdu is quite far from the nature reserve.

As the two entered the entrance, a cashier was sitting at the ticket checkpoint playing on her phone. Upon seeing the two arrive, she quickly put down her phone.

"The two of you will be staying in the Flaming Volcano for a few days."

The cashier wore a professional smile.

“Two people, three days.” Lin Xiaolin said, handing over his trainer certificate, and Xia Ri also handed over his certificate.

"Okay, you two, three days, 80 each."

After registering, the cashier returned the two trainer certificates to me.

Lin Xiaolin swiped her card directly, and 160 million yuan was gone in the blink of an eye.

The prices here are twice as high as those at Starry Forest, but that's understandable, considering that Starry Forest only has a little over a hundred rangers, plus a near-superstar in charge.

Lin Xiaolin checked the Fiery Volcano Forest and found that a Champion-level trainer was in charge, along with three near-Champion trainers and hundreds of rangers.

Some people might think the entrance fee is too high.

But think about it, how much salary would the association have to pay a King-level member and three Quasi-King-level members a year to keep them guarding this protected area?

Each one costs tens or hundreds of millions, and even top-tier individuals can't be hired just by having money; you need to promise them some benefits first.

This doesn't even include the hundreds of forest rangers. Even if forest rangers are cheap, elite-level rangers still cost tens or hundreds of thousands a month, while lord-level rangers cost anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

Otherwise, if other people don't even have enough money to raise Pokémon, who will be your ranger?

Based on this calculation, the annual expenditure for a lava volcano would be at least several billion, averaging nearly ten million per day.

Charging you over 100,000 a day and you still think it's expensive? The association might even lose a lot of money over the course of a year.

Moreover, this price is only for people like Lin Xiaolin. If it's an ordinary trainer like Wanqiao who has no family background, the reserve will have to give them an additional 20% discount.

Of course, this discount is only available to high school and college students; if you have already graduated, you will not receive this discount.

Without needing a ranger to pick them up, Lin Xiaolin and Xia Ri flew in directly on Charizard and Talonflame.

"Young boss, where do you want to go?" Summer Flight asked Lin Xiaolin beside him.

Do you know where Tanjiro is?

"Are you here to capture Tanjiro?"

"Ah."

“Alright, I’ll take you there. However, the Tanjiro clan is very rare and not easy to find. I can only take you to the place where I’ve seen Tanjiro before.”

After saying that, Summer accelerated and flew forward.

After an afternoon of searching, they had visited two destinations but had not seen Tan Xiaoshi. Lin Xiaolin, on the other hand, almost fainted from the heat.

The temperature inside this blazing volcano is at least 60 degrees Celsius, and Lin Xiaolin's sweat evaporates as soon as it comes out.

However, looking at the summer side, there was no sign of anything unusual; it was as if no temperature could be felt at all.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he released Little Blue.

When Xiao Lan was released, Xia Ri took a few curious glances at it.

With Xiao Lan's superpower providing isolation, Lin Xiaolin finally felt much better.

That evening, Xia Ri led Lin Xiaolin to set up camp in a mountain cave.

She seems to come to this cave often in the summer; she said she always camps here when she's in the nature reserve.

Surprisingly, it wasn't that hot inside the cave.

As soon as they entered the cave, Lin Xiaolin took out a large bucket of water from his backpack and drank it all.

Luckily, I listened to the advice to buy more water in the summer, and it's best to fill half of my backpack with water.

Those hundreds of thousands were well spent!

There is no trace of water in this raging volcano. The ground is covered with a peculiar type of tree that is extremely heat-resistant and grows more luxuriantly the hotter it gets.

Moreover, the roots are extremely long; Xia Ri said that the roots of this tree can be tens of meters long, and it is extremely fire-resistant. Xia Ri said that most of the furniture in Fengdu is made of this wood.

After laying out her sleeping bag in the cave, Lin Xiaolin finally had time to chat with Xia Ri for a while.

"Sister Xia, how do you think these elves survive here when there's no water at all?"

While eating the dry rations she had brought, Lin Xiaolin asked the question.

"A few years ago, there was still some water on the surface, but it was very little. In the last two years, it has become increasingly hot here. I don't know if it's because the volcano is about to erupt, so the water source will be gone. However, there is still some underground water source, and many elves can find it and settle down nearby."

"Oh, so we went to two places today and didn't find it. How many places do we have to go to tomorrow?"

"I only know of five places where Tanjiro is. If I can't find him at the other three places by tomorrow, I'll just have to wander around and try my luck."

"Ok."

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Lin Xiaolin fell asleep.

Xiao Lan and Xin Lin Bao stood guard beside Lin Xiao Lin's sleeping bag.

The next morning, when Lin Xiaolin got up, he saw Xia Ri observing the surroundings from the cave entrance.

"Good morning, Sister Xia." Lin Xiaolin stretched and greeted Xia Ri.

"Good morning. Pack your things and have something to eat before we set off. Otherwise, we won't be able to finish visiting the remaining three places in one day."

"okay."

After saying that, Lin Xiaolin took out a bucket of water and washed his face. Then he ate something casually, and Xinlinbao and Xiaolan sat next to him and ate something as well.

After finishing breakfast and packing my things, I set off.

Lin Xiaolin doesn't plan to train Xiao Lan and Xinlinbao for the next two days. He intends to give them a break and also take a break himself, since he spends his days at school training.

Training from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., I'm finally on vacation and need to rest for a few days. It's all about balancing work and rest.

Chapter 115 Father and Son (Bonus Chapter)

Riding on Fluttershy, he recalled the Heartscale Pokémon into its Poké Ball. Blue was still standing behind Lin Xiaolin, using its psychic powers to shield him from the heatwave.

There are three locations: two in the desert and one at the foot of a volcano.
