A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

"What do you say?"

"Whatever, let's go together if you want, we're just wandering around anyway." Yan Fan shrugged.

"I'm fine too."

. . .

Finally, everyone decided to go to the auction, but the auction wouldn't start until 7 p.m., and it was only afternoon, so they decided to go to the water park first.

The tropical dragon took everyone to the entrance of the water park, and after they jumped off the dragon, they walked inside.

I bought a swimsuit on the spot, and after buying a ticket, I went inside.

Before going in, the spirit needs to be released and cleaned. Lin Xiaolin picked up a steel wool ball in one hand and a water pipe in the other to scrub Xinlinbao.

Yan Fan and the others were also washing their own spirits on the side.

This water park allows both elves and humans to enter, but certain elves are not permitted to enter.

Pokémon that emit a strong odor, like Muk, are not suitable. Pokémon that are too large, like Onix, are not suitable. Pokémon that are covered in charcoal ash, like Blademaster, are also not suitable. Additionally, Ice-type and Fire-type Pokémon that can affect water temperature are also not suitable.

Of course, this is just a public swimming pool. If it were a private one, you wouldn't have to worry about it. You could even block up the pool and it wouldn't matter, as long as you have money.

However, Yan Fan said that the private pool wasn't very fun, so he came to the public pool instead.

The only Pokémon that cannot enter are Lin Xiaolin's Azure Blade Ghost and Qin Lele's two Pokémon, and oh yes, Shi Yu's Robusta.

However, we still got a private swimming pool for these Pokémon, but I wonder if they'll actually go in and play...

All the other players' spirits met the requirements to enter.

After washing off some of the dust from the elf, they went inside together.

The swimming pool is very large, with the left side being deeper and the right side being shallower. The deepest part is three meters deep, while the shallowest part is only a dozen centimeters deep.

There is also a large air-filled slide floating on the surface of the deep end of the pool.

The pool was huge. As soon as they entered, they saw a group of elves and humans playing together. At this moment, Lin Xiaolin, Yan Fanshi, and An Yang, wearing three pairs of swimming trunks, plunged directly into the shallow water.

Don't ask, the answer is I can't swim.

Qin Lele and Shi Yu leaned against the water's edge, dipping their feet into the water to feel the temperature.

Chapter 152 Auction

Xinlinbao jumped directly into the pool and landed headfirst on the stone bricks with a loud 'bang!'.

Then he was lifted up by Little Blue behind him.

"Holy crap, are you alright?" Lin Xiaolin quickly went over to check on him.

"Roar." Heartscale Baby waved its paws, indicating that it was alright.

"I wasn't talking about you. I was saying, is the pool okay? Don't let someone break it and then we'll have to pay for it."

Lin Xiaolin bent down to touch the tiles in the pool to see if they had been shattered by Xinlinbao's headbutt.

Heartscale Treasure: "..."

Fortunately, the pool was of good quality, and Xinlinbao was fine after diving in.

The group started playing around, with the Scaleless charging wildly in the shallow water, and the Gibles following behind, imitating the Scaleless's behavior.

Slippery Boy had a swimming race with Lucario to see who could swim faster, but he almost drowned and was eventually rescued by Lucario.

The mini dragon simply plunged into the water and disappeared.

The five of them lay in the shallow water, enjoying the coolness of the summer.

Like a concerned parent, Little Blue sat in the water, keeping a close eye on Gible and Gible, afraid that they would fall into the deep water.

"Phew~" Lin Xiaolin lay in the pool with only her head above water, letting out a long, comfortable sigh.

"Wow, the sky is so vast, oh no, so white, ugh, so blue!"

Yan Fan's voice came from the side, and Lin Xiaolin turned around and saw Yan Fan secretly glancing at a bikini-clad woman.

Suddenly, a figure blocked Yan Fan's view. Qin Lele, wearing a floral swimsuit, stood in Yan Fan's line of sight.

Yan Fan quickly closed his eyes and pretended that he hadn't seen anything.

Lin Xiaolin closed her eyes, trying to avoid seeing or hearing Yan Fan's pig-like screams.

Lin Xiaolin finally understood why Yan Fan said that private swimming pools weren't as fun as public swimming pools.

They played until 6 p.m., then found a small restaurant, ate a quick meal, and asked the tropical dragon uncle to take them to the auction.

Tropius flew through the sky above the city, constantly passing other Flying-type Pokémon. After flying for more than ten minutes, Tropius stopped in front of a building.

Above the entrance of the building are several large, gleaming gold characters: "Tiandu Auction House".

Entering the auction house, you need to buy a ticket at the entrance. It's not expensive, 10,000 Alliance Coins per ticket. If you buy anything inside, the 10,000 Coins will be fully refunded.

Of course, there are also VIP lounges, each costing 100,000 Alliance Coins.

After purchasing tickets for the VIP lounge, a smiling young lady approached and led the five of us through another passage.

The corridor floor was covered with a black carpet with gold trim, and the walls on both sides were as white as snow, with paintings hanging on them.

The five people walked inside, looking at the paintings with curiosity.

They mostly depict elves and landscapes.

"I feel like this isn't as good as my drawing," Yan Fan said smugly.

"Cut~ x4"

After walking a distance, they entered the auction house. The young lady escorted the five people into the VIP room and then left.

The VIP lounge is located slightly above the auction hall, with one wall made of glass, offering a clear view of what's below.

The VIP lounge has two sofas and a coffee table.

There are two sofas, one large and one small. The larger sofa is probably for big bosses, specifically for their bodyguards.

But the group didn't care about that and squeezed in to sit down.

With only a few minutes left before the auction started, Lin Xiaolin rubbed his hands together excitedly.

This was his first time attending an auction.

Normally, auctions will provide a booklet before the auction begins, which lists all the items to be auctioned.

However, this auction house doesn't have that; everything is random, so Lin Xiaolin is actually quite excited, thinking she might just find some treasure.

Just then, the young lady who had just left returned, placed the fruit platter and drinks on the coffee table, and then left.

At 7:00 sharp, the auction officially began. All the stage lights were focused in one direction, and a middle-aged man dressed in a formal Zhongshan suit walked in from that direction.

The man walked slowly onto the stage with a smile on his face.

"Welcome to the Tiandu Auction House. I am Qian Xu, the auctioneer for this auction. I'm sure you've all been looking forward to this. Without further ado, let's move on to the first item."

The man picked up a small hammer from the auction table and looked to his right.

From the entrance on the right, a middle-aged man in formal attire pushed a small cart with a black box on it.

"The first item for auction is a high-grade fire stone provided by the association, with a starting price of three million Alliance Coins and each bid must be at least one hundred thousand Alliance Coins."

"350w"

"360w"

"400w"

"......"

As soon as the auction items were put up, a large number of people started bidding and competing for them. Fire Stones and Fire Gems are different. Gems are used for training, while Fire Stones are used for the evolution of Pokémon.

The better the materials used for evolution, the stronger the evolved Pokémon will be, and it can even increase training speed, just like when Qin Lele's Snow Child evolved using a top-tier awakening stone.

However, top-tier items are extremely rare, costing at least hundreds of millions, or even billions. High-level items are more common, but their value is still considerable.

Finally, the gem was auctioned off to a VIP room guest for 1420 million Alliance Coins.

The moment the hammer strikes signifies that the item has been sold.

The following auction items were less interesting, and some weren't even as good as the first one.

After more than a dozen rounds of bidding, Lin Xiaolin didn't see anything interesting, but Qin Lele did win a hair clip, which was said to be made from a vine that had been replaced by Venusaur.

The hair clips kept emitting a pleasant fragrance. In this way, ten hair clips cost 150,000 Alliance Coins. Lin Xiaolin clicked her tongue and thought, "Women's money is so easy to earn."

The items won in the auction will be delivered together after the auction ends.

The auction lasted for more than two hours, during which dozens of items were sold, though some items failed to sell.

Although most of the things didn't interest Lin Xiaolin, there were still some that caught her eye.

"The next item up for auction is a Bulbasaur egg. This egg is provided by the association, and its parents are both Venusaur of the Lord level. The starting price is 300 million League Coins, and each bid must be at least 10 coins."

"500w!"

"550w!"

"580w!"
