A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Chapter 131 Milotic

"Then Dad, you keep studying it. I'm going back now." Lin Xiaolin said, carrying the six deluxe balls as he walked out.

Walking home, Lin Xiaolin held the back of her head, wondering where to go for her month-long vacation.

As I was thinking, I arrived at the entrance of the dojo. Oh right, should I go to the nature reserve again?

Lin Xiaolin thought that Starry Forest would definitely be fine, since it had already been thoroughly cleared out. The Pokémon on the outer perimeter weren't too difficult for her now; she could handle them without much trouble.

It's a good opportunity to experience what it's like to be a protester beforehand.

After deciding on the opportunity, Lin Xiaolin went home and discussed it with her mother. At first, her mother was reluctant to let Lin Xiaolin go, but after Lin Xiaolin's repeated insistence, she finally agreed.

With her mother's approval, Lin Xiaolin was overjoyed and began to plan her trip. She intended to explore the entire outer perimeter of the Starry Forest this time.

I bought a map of Starry Forest and started studying the route. Actually, the overall terrain of Starry Forest is quite unique because it has two inner enclosures.

These two inner areas are also known as Zone 1 and Zone 2. It is said that these two areas have been occupied by some fierce elves who have extremely strong malice towards humans.

It's unclear what it is, but it's said that someone saw it outside Zone 1, with tens of thousands of Beedrills completely occupying Zone 1.

There was no news about Zone 2, but no one dared to enter it easily. Lin Xiaolin's chosen route was to start from the location where she was killed last time.

First, head straight to the outer perimeter of Zone 1, then circle back, pass through Zone 2, and start from the other end. This way, you can explore the entire Starry Forest and exit directly from the south exit.

However, Lin Xiaolin wasn't sure if she could complete the journey.

Since we'll be going after the New Year, we'll only have about 20 days. Hiking will be very slow, but it's okay if we don't see everything. We can just remember the locations and ask the rangers to take us there next time.

The accompanying image is as follows:

(Haha, this is the first drawing I made myself. It's a bit ugly. Can you understand it?)

Once you've made a plan, just wait for the time to arrive before going.

However, this time they would be staying inside for a long time, and without Yan Fan's Gengar, they couldn't bring much stuff. Lin Xiaolin was worried about how to carry food and supplies.

Oh, Gengar! How can I live without you!

Lin Xiaolin felt like crying but had no tears left.

However, they still managed to find a solution. The space backpack they bought in Fengdu came in handy. Lin Xiaolin bought more than forty compressed biscuits and energy cubes, filling half of the backpack.

There wasn't enough room to pack everything else, so Lin Xiaolin only brought a sleeping bag, a lighter, and some bandages to prevent injuries.

Then came the knife, map, and water bottle. Everything was stuffed into the bag, filling it to the brim.

However, this time is different from Fengdu. I don't need to bring as much water. There are plenty of water sources in Xingcan Forest, so I don't need to worry about the water supply.

It took Lin Xiaolin two days to figure everything out. Just as she finished packing the supplies, a phone call came in.

"Hello Mr. Lin Xiaolin, your package has arrived. Please come and sign for it in person."

"Ohhh okay."

Lin Xiaolin hung up the phone and went downstairs, wondering why he hadn't bought anything in so long. Then he saw the package that had arrived.

But I quickly remembered the ugly fish that Yan Fan had sent!

After verifying the delivery with the Dongfeng courier, Lin Xiaolin unsurprisingly received a Poké Ball.

After signing for the package, Lin Xiaolin immediately went upstairs, took the beautiful scales, and headed straight for her father's laboratory.

Upon arriving at Lin's father's laboratory, he grabbed a small video camera from the table and headed towards the backyard.

Lin's father was still engrossed in his research and had no time to pay attention to Lin Xiaolin.

Lin Xiaolin went to the backyard and released the Ugly Fish. With a flash of red light, a grayish-brown fish covered in craters appeared in the pond.

Ugly stared at Lin Xiaolin with dead fish eyes.

Pokémon: Feebas

Attribute: Water

Level: Elite

Gender: male

Feature: Agile and Free [Speed ​​is greatly increased in rainy weather]

Inherited skill: Hypnosis

Learning skills: None

Skills: Leap, Charge, Frenzy

Props to carry: none

Description: The Uglycatcher has blue fins, and its body is mainly yellowish-brown and blue, with some pits and bumps. Its eyes have a dull expression. Its fins are naturally tattered and unsightly, and its appearance is so ugly that it is famous for its shabby appearance.

Ugly Fish stared at Lin Xiaolin with dead fish eyes, looking utterly hopeless.

Lin Xiaolin didn't know this, and felt that the Ugly Fish wasn't that ugly.

Holding the beautiful scales in its hand, the ugly fish seemed to have seen something wonderful and eagerly wanted to touch them, splashing water all over Lin Xiaolin with its tail.

Lin Xiaolin tossed the beautiful scale forward, and the ugly fish jumped out of the water and caught it in its mouth. The next moment, white light and evolution light burst out from the ugly fish.

The ugly fish gradually grew larger, and its head and tail gradually grew out, making it look like a snake.

The light faded in the next instant, and the beautiful Milotic appeared before Lin Xiaolin.

Pokémon: Milotic

Attribute: Water

Rank: Lord

Gender: male

Characteristic: Mystic Scales [When afflicted with an abnormal status, physical attack defense increases by 50%.]

Inherited skill: Hypnosis

Learning skills: None

Skills: Water Pulse, Enchanting Voice, Tornado, Water Ring, Charm, Life Drop, Dragon Tail, Self-Regeneration, Water Tail.

Props to carry: none

Description: Its beautiful scales possess rainbow-like colors, changing hues depending on the viewing angle. When it emits a vibrant pink glow, it releases a wave that soothes even the most volatile hearts. It is said that witnessing Milotic's graceful form can calm all resentment and erase any feelings of fighting. It is considered the most beautiful Pokémon, a sentiment that seems somewhat ambiguous for its trainer who bred it out of love for Feebas. It has also been a subject of painting and sculpture, consistently inspiring many artists.

Lin Xiaolin: "Holy shit!"

Lin Xiaolin looked at the beautiful national treasure of the Minas in front of her and blurted out.

Milotic showed no desire to attack, but instead looked at Lin Xiaolin gently.

Lin Xiaolin took a while to recover and began to ponder.

This isn't right, is it? I remember Feebas needs Beauty stats, right? How did it evolve so quickly?

Lin Xiaolin was completely baffled, while Milotic had already disappeared into the lake, displaying its graceful form in the water.

Chapter 132 Revisiting the Starry Forest

"Could it be that this ugly fish's beauty quotient has reached a threshold?"

Lin Xiaolin could only think of this one possibility. After all, Yan Fan said that this ugly fish was the leader of all the ugly fish in Lotus City, the capital of water spirits. It's reasonable that its beauty value was full, right?

Having figured it out, Lin Xiaolin no longer hesitated and walked straight outside.

The research Pokémon used in this research need to be returned to the protected area after use. Once Lin Xiaolin's research report is completed, it will be sent back.

"Dad, I put a Milotic in the backyard. Remember to feed it for me."

Lin Xiaolin greeted her father as she passed by.

"Okay, what is it?" Lin's father nodded subconsciously, then realized something was off.

But Lin Xiaolin had already disappeared; he needed to get back to finish his research report as soon as possible.

Lin's father got up and opened the back door, and saw Milotic in the lake.

Lin's father gasped. Milotic is an extremely rare Pokémon, even rarer than pseudo-legendary Pokémon, mainly because no one has discovered its evolution method.

Milotic is extremely rare, with fewer than a hundred in the entire Dragon Kingdom, even fewer than pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Back home, Lin Xiaolin began writing her research report. If all went well, she should be able to reach the level of a [B]-level researcher after submitting this report.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After three days of hard work, Lin Xiaolin finally completed the research report and submitted it before the Spring Festival.

Lin Xiaolin stretched to relieve her back pain, then walked outside.

Lin's father has returned, and his maternal grandparents are also living upstairs, preparing for the Spring Festival. The two little ones are playing around Xinlinbao.

Small lanterns hang by the window, an upside-down "福" (good fortune) character is pasted on the door, and couplets are pasted on both sides of the door.

The two little ones were dressed in red down jackets, and even Xinlinbao was forced to wear a red outfit.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year is palpable.

A smile appeared on Lin Xiaolin's face.
