A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Lin Xiaolin: "......"

Forget it, Lin Xiaolin turned around and went to sleep. The more she chatted with this kid, the more sour it got.

Contrary to what the hotel owner had said, no strange noises came at night. It's likely that the group of Ghost-type Pokémon could sense that the Pokémon inside were not to be trifled with.

The next day, when Lin Xiaolin got up, she glanced at Yan Fan next to her and saw that Yan Fan was sleeping sprawled out in his pajamas.

The Minidragon was nestled next to his pillow, and the Gible was practically sleeping in the same position as him.

Lin Xiaolin was speechless. What kind of sleeping posture was that? It wasn't elegant at all, and she wasn't afraid of catching a cold.

Xiao Lan: If I hadn't covered you with a blanket at night, you would be no better.

Chapter 223 Regretful Departure

After waking Yan Fan, the two washed up, changed clothes, and got ready before leaving the hotel.

Except for Jirachi, all the other Pokémon recalled their Poké Balls.

Jirachi nestled inside Lin Xiaolin's backpack and went back to sleep.

Both of their Pokémon eggs are still in the airplane's breeding room; otherwise, even if they had brought the eggs, the remaining space wouldn't have been enough to feed Xiao Bao for a day.

After checking out of the hotel, Lin Xiaolin stretched and yawned as she walked outside. Although Youdu wasn't particularly lively during the day, it was more vibrant than at night.

At least there are pedestrians and taxis on the road, even though the weather is still gloomy.

They randomly picked a breakfast shop and had breakfast. Since Youdu wasn't as congested as other cities, the two took a taxi straight to the association center.

When there's no traffic, the taxi was quite fast, and we arrived at the association center in just over an hour.

Of course, it's possible that Youdu is smaller than other cities.

Upon entering the association's center, one notices that most of the people there were carrying exorcism talismans, suggesting that not everyone in Youdu is a local.

They looted all the Mega Stones and Key Stones in the Netherworld.

Whether it's because there are many researchers in Youdu or because the exploration of the spirit world is insufficient, there are actually very few stones in Youdu's warehouse.

Just two Key Stones and two Mega Stones.

One Gengar and one Cursed Doll.

It wasn't bad, though. After putting away the keystone and the Mega Evolution Stone, Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan came out.

Well, all eight have been looted, and I now have 24 Key Stones and 34 Mega Stones.

Excluding those purchased before, this operation has now acquired 47 Mega Stones and Key Stones.

I still have enough money to buy more than 50.

At first, I thought 300 million might not be enough, but I didn't expect it! Now it seems there will probably be some left over.

However, no Mega Stone for Garchomp was found, so Lin Xiaolin could only apologize to Yan Fan in his heart and try to find it in a second-tier city.

As for the fatness, Lin Xiaolin really couldn't do anything about it and could only silently mourn for the Mini Dragon for three seconds.

"mound!"

The Dratini inside the Poké Ball sneezed for no apparent reason.

For safety's sake, the Mega Stone and Key Stone were returned to the plane before heading to the Spirit Realm entrance.

Why don't you rent Flying-type Pokémon?

Before coming to the Spirit Realm, Lin Xiaolin had done some research. Unlike other protected areas, the Spirit Realm was very large and inhabited only by pure Ghost-type Pokémon; there wasn't a single other type of Pokémon.

Therefore, it's best not to fly in the spirit world, otherwise you might not even be able to find your ashes.

Going to the spirit world is quite special; it requires entering through a special passage, which is controlled by the association in an area outside the city.

------

Arrived at the entrance to the spirit world.

Lin Xiaolin could clearly see the dense black aura surrounding them. Moreover, there were many people guarding the area.

As for why the entrance to the spirit world is outside the city, Lin Xiaolin has no idea.

According to information found online, the entrance to the spirit world has been here since ancient times.

It is said that the original spirit world was not a place suitable for human habitation, and at that time, the area around the spirit world was plagued by suffering.

Near the main entrance to the spirit world, there are many smaller spirit world entrances, and many ghost-type spirits run out of the spirit world.

However, several hundred years ago, an ancestor of the Dragon Kingdom personally led his spirits to the spirit world.

This was utterly incomprehensible to humans at the time; others were trying to avoid her, yet she still wanted to enter the spirit world.

The result was shocking.

That ancestor of the Dragon Kingdom actually persuaded the guardian of this entrance to the spirit world.

From then on, all the smaller entrances were sealed off, leaving only the main entrance, and the guardian also forbade other Ghost-type Pokémon from leaving. Thus, the City of the Dark was built.

And that human ancestor was also the ancestor of the exorcists—Liu Youxuan.

"Sorry, trainers below the elite level are not allowed to enter the Spirit World."

Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan learned some shocking news as soon as they arrived at the entrance to the Spirit Realm.

The staff at the entrance to the spirit world returned the two trainer licenses.

"Didn't you do any research before you came?"

Yan Fan looked at Lin Xiaolin with a puzzled expression.

"I investigated, but in the information I found about the Spirit Realm and the Netherworld, no one mentioned that there were any other requirements for entering the Spirit Realm!"

Lin Xiaolin was both amused and exasperated, and then begged the staff member to make an exception.

And they released Gengar and Azurewrath to show them.

But the staff only said two words: No!

In the end, the two could only walk back with their heads down.

Lin Xiaolin glanced back at the entrance to the Spirit Realm and couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that only elite-level trainers were allowed to enter the Spirit Realm? Plans really can't keep up with changes.

Just as Lin Xiaolin left, the pair of blood-red eyes in the sky also shifted their gaze.

"The aura of a god, interesting, hehehe~"

A faint murmur and eerie laughter came from the air.

The two returned to the plane and decided to head to the next city. To be honest, if Lin Xiaolin hadn't been somewhat interested in this spirit world, she would have wanted to leave long ago.

Staying here is too oppressive and uncomfortable.

They just set off on a whim, the plane took off immediately, heading towards the next city.

As Lin Xiaolin left Youdu, she stood by the window looking down at the city. She knew she would come back to Youdu sooner or later, since it held many secrets.

One month later——

Lin Xiaolin and Yan Fan had just returned to the plane from the city association. This city only had one Mega Evolution Stone.

After a month of travel, Lin Xiaolin realized that her initial expectations were completely wrong.

It's been a month now, and after visiting over forty second-tier cities, I've only managed to buy a mere thirty-odd pills.

Second-tier cities are not as far apart as first-tier cities, so the flight distance is quite short.

However, the number of items in each city is incredibly low. If you're lucky, you might get two; if you're average, you might get one; and if you're unlucky, you might get none at all.

Put the Mega Stones you bought in this city into the Black Box.

This is the fifth black box, and each box contains twenty items.

Lin Xiaolin has now collected a total of 35 Key Stones and 54 Mega Stones, for a total of 89.

Lin Xiaolin would never have dared to imagine this progress before. She wondered if she had gotten too cocky, because she was still dissatisfied.

Over the past month, the most significant change has been in Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao has reached the peak of the ordinary level and only needs a trigger to break through to the elite level.

Moreover, his size has exceeded one meter and his weight has reached more than 160 kilograms. Even the Gible can only look up at him.

Furthermore, Xiao Bao has already mastered the Reverse Scale technique. As for the Dragon Dance, well, let's not talk about it; it's giving Lin Xiao Lin a headache.

It works, but the effect isn't very noticeable.

At first, I thought it was because Xiaobao couldn't dance.

Lin Xiaolin also tried to get Xiao Lan to teach Xiao Bao how to dance, but it was still no use. In the end, Lin Xiaolin could only let things take their course.

"Where's the next stop?"

Yan Fan lay back in the chair and spoke in a nonchalant manner.

Lin Xiaolin unfolded the route map she had planned and took a look at it.

Snow City.

Lin Xiaolin's gaze sharpened as she looked at the Snow City symbol.
