A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Chapter 161 College League (7)

Dratini quickly headed towards Lucario.

Lucario, who had been steadfastly supporting its master, finally felt relieved with the help of Dratini.

Heartscale Treasure then began another battle with Metal Monster.

Not long after, Mighty Chicken swept Donphan away with a single kick. Donphan rolled several times on the ground and lost consciousness.

The Mighty Chicken was also in bad shape; the flames all over its body had weakened considerably. But after catching its breath, it headed straight for the Heartscale and MetalGreymon.

There was no suspense from then on; a four-on-two situation was created.

However, it was initially thought that the heavily injured MetalGreymon would be defeated first, but to everyone's surprise, MetalGreymon held on tenaciously, and in the end, Steelix couldn't hold on any longer.

After Steelix fell, it became a three-on-one situation. As for the last one, Shi Anyang's Lucario was already exhausted and lay on the ground.

"The entire team of Jiangcheng No. 2 High School Team 1 is incapacitated. The winner is Xingcheng No. 1 High School Team 2, with a score of 6:1. The final winner is Xingcheng No. 1 High School!"

The moment the referee announced the victory, Roborock finally collapsed, leaving only the badly injured Jangmo-o and the almost completely exhausted Dratini standing at the back of the field.

The group recalled their Pokémon into their Poké Balls and left the arena.

Instead of the expected joy, a strange feeling arose: the group, who were aiming for the championship, had actually performed so poorly in the preliminary rounds.

Even Shi Yu's trump card was used.

That's right, the Flame Possession move just now was Shi Yu's last trump card, which was modified by the Mighty Chicken based on the Dark Shadow of Azure Flame Blade Demon.

It allows you to attach flames to your body, greatly increasing your attack and defense, but the drawback is also obvious: you will be very weak after using it.

However, it's not that simple. You have to take advantage of the Power Chicken's speed boost, otherwise it's no different from having a regular flame possess you.

The team won the game, and everyone dragged their weary bodies toward the rest room. It wasn't physical exhaustion, but rather mental exhaustion.

They were originally aiming for the championship, but reality first slapped them hard in the face, making them realize the gap between the students of the eight major cities and themselves.

Among them, Yu Wanqiao and her two companions felt the most acutely that they were like three burdens, utterly useless on the official field.

Unlike regular schools, where students can at least show their faces, students from the eight major cities can sense the distance between themselves and these schools simply by sitting below and observing.

"Alright, victory should be something to celebrate. Why are you all looking so gloomy? We've already taken down one of the eight major powers, what are we afraid of the rest? I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight."

Amidst this oppressive atmosphere, Lin Xiaolin's voice came from ahead.

"Haha, yeah, then I'm going to rip you off tonight. I won't go for a meal that costs less than ten thousand dollars for the dishes."

Yan Fan's cheerful voice came from beside Lin Xiaolin, and the two seemed to be singing in harmony, raising the mood of the entire team.

"Yay! The captain's treating us to dinner tonight!"

"Let's slaughter the captain tonight!"

“…”

Everyone returned to the lounge with smiles on their faces, but the atmosphere there was somewhat tense.

Senior Qianjue and the others have already returned.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Xiaolin could guess without even asking.

"Teacher Tang, I'm treating everyone to dinner tonight. Let's all go together." Without asking about the competition, Lin Xiaolin walked into the lounge with a smile and said.

"You little rascal, haha."

night------

Instead of looking for a fancy place, the group sat down at a nearby food stall.

Several tables were pushed together, and we ordered some stir-fries and barbecues and sat down to chat.

"Waiter, bring me two cases of beer, chilled! You guys should keep me company while I drink tonight."

Tang Tian shouted, referring not to Lin Xiaolin and his group, but to Senior Qianjue and his group. The seniors were already eighteen, and with the competition over, they were essentially graduating, so having a beer was no problem for them.

The waiter brought over two cases of frozen beer.

Lin Xiaolin stood up, picked up a beer bottle opener, and personally handed the opened bottles of beer to his seniors.

The meal was quite late; it was past 8 p.m. when we finished. The senior students were all quite drunk, their faces and necks flushed.

Lan Tian originally wanted to have a drink too, but Tang Tian stopped him. He still had a match to play, and Tang Tian said they would have a good drink together after the match.

Tang Tian picked up two drunk senior students, one in each hand, and headed towards the hotel. The other senior students had also drunk a few bottles, but they weren't drunk yet.

"Xiao Lin." On the way back to the hotel, Qian Jue, who was a little drunk, suddenly leaned over.

"What's wrong, senior?"

"Fengdu No. 1 High School is very strong, but there's something wrong with that Crimson Lotus Armored Rider. He's very weak. If we want to win, we have to drag it out and wear him down."

Senior Qianjue spoke haltingly and walked unsteadily, so Lin Xiaolin quickly steadied him.

"I believe in you guys. You're stronger than me, and Yan Fan and the others are stronger than me, but I'm not envious. You're my juniors, and even if you become famous in the future, I can brag to others, saying, 'Look, this kid was actually my junior,' hahaha."

Qianjue was really a bit drunk. Although it was only two or three bottles each, it was still a lot for students who had never drunk alcohol before.

"Okay, I will. After all, I'm aiming for the championship." Lin Xiaolin carried half of Qian Jue's body and walked forward.

Qianjue smiled, a bitter smile, and then looked up at the sky.

"I'm so tired~ Will Senior Lan Rou and Senior Wang Can be disappointed in me? Senior Wang Can trusts me so much."

"No, seniors, you've already done your best, you were just a little unlucky."

As Lin Xiaolin was comforting him, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. Turning around, she saw that Senior Qianjue had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Lin Xiaolin's small frame couldn't handle it anymore, so she called out to Shi Anyang. Shi Anyang turned around and took the initiative to carry Senior Qianjue on his back.

The food stalls are not far from the hotel, just a few minutes' walk away.

Back at the hotel, Lin Xiaolin lay on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.

Fengdu No.1 High School! Elite-level Crimson Lotus Armor Knights, can Xiao Bao defeat them?

If I go all out, it should work, right?

Who cares? I'll just have Xiaobao knock his head off.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaolin fell asleep.

In her sleep, Lin Xiaolin seemed to hear that childish voice again.

"Little Scale~ Little Scale~ wants to~ play~ together~"

Lin Xiaolin frowned in her sleep, as if she heard some indistinct sound, but she couldn't make it out clearly.

At this moment, Xiao Lan in the room suddenly opened her eyes.

Lin Xiaolin lay on the bed with her brows furrowed, Cangyan Rengui was resting by the window, and Xinlinbao was lying sprawled on the floor sleeping, with one of Lin Xiaolin's coats under her.

Everything seemed normal, but the stone on the table was flashing, not nearly as bright as it had been a few days ago.

Chapter 162 College League (8)

Xiao Lan approached the stone and used her superpowers to examine it, but in the next instant, all her superpowers were drained, and Xiao Lan collapsed to the ground, her face pale.

The stone that absorbed all her superpowers only lit up slightly and then remained unchanged.

The next day, Lin Xiaolin was awakened by the Azure Flame Blade Ghost.

As soon as I sat up, I saw Xiao Lan sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a superpower gem in her hand and gathering power.

Moreover, Xiao Lan's condition was very wrong; she looked like she had been attacked, and her face was deathly pale.

"Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong?" Lin Xiaolin woke up immediately, and Xiaolan also opened her eyes.

"That stone absorbs superpowers. Last night it suddenly went dark, and when I checked it, all the superpowers in my body had been absorbed."

Xiao Lan spoke weakly.

Lin Xiaolin frowned instantly. This stone absorbs superpowers? They'd investigated it before, and there were no problems then. What's going on now?

Lin Xiaolin was completely baffled. For the past two days, he had been hearing a voice calling him while he slept, but he could never make it out clearly. He initially thought it was a dream, but could it be Jirachi inside the stone calling him?

But I don't seem to know Jirachi.

Just as he was pondering this, Yan Fan's voice came from outside.

"Xiao Lin, are you up yet!"

"Get up, I'm coming out right away!"

With that, Lin Xiaolin got out of bed. She decided to put the research aside for now. Although she didn't have her own match today, there were other teams playing.

We need to go and observe this carefully. As for Jirachi, we'll talk about it when we get back tonight.

"Sister Xiaolan, you should rest well in your room today. Xiaobao and Xiaotan, you two stay at the hotel with Sister Xiaolan tonight. I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back tonight."

"Chirp~"

"Ghost~"

After changing her clothes and washing up, Lin Xiaolin went straight out.
