A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Lin Xiaolin looked for a long time and found that only a low-level dragon gem was suitable for Xinlinbao.

"Principal Qi, I'd like this Dragon Gem." After confirming, Lin Xiaolin put the paper back on her desk.

"Okay, I'll have the warehouse staff deliver it to you later. Keep up the good work, young student! You are the future hope of No. 1 High School." The principal gave a token word of encouragement.

"Okay, thank you, Principal! I definitely won't let you down!"

After confirming the props, Lin Xiaolin and Duan Xin left the principal's office. As soon as they were out of the principal's office area, Duan Xin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teacher Duan, are you afraid of the principal?" Lin Xiaolin looked at Duan Xin with amusement.

"What do you know, you little brat? Go back. They'll send the props to me later, and I'll bring them to you when they arrive."

After saying that, Duan Xin turned and left.

Chapter 29 Final Exam 1

The next morning, while they were warming up for the afternoon's exam, Duan Xin came over and handed Lin Xiaolin a blue gemstone.

The gem was very small, only about the size of a thumb. Lin Xiaolin held it in her hand and played with it. The gem was very beautiful, crystal clear without any impurities, and emitted a faint deep blue glow.

Item: Low-level Dragon Gem

Description: Formed from the crystallized energy within the body of a Dragon-type Pokémon after its death. Absorbing it will accelerate the growth of Dragon-type energy within a Dragon-type Pokémon. Carrying it will also increase the power of Dragon-type moves (consumable).

"What a wonderful thing!" Lin Xiaolin nodded in satisfaction. He hadn't expected that the Dragon Gem could not only increase the power of skills, but also accelerate the growth of dragon-type energy within his body.

Lin Xiaolin thought to himself that he needed to get some of these attribute gems for his Pokémon in the future, which would definitely give them a huge advantage over others.

However, the price is a bit steep. A low-level attribute gem costs three to four hundred thousand Alliance Coins, not to mention the mid-level and high-level ones. He'll worry about that later; right now, he's broke.

"Xiao Bao, this is for you." Lin Xiaolin found a red rope and a small bag, both made of high-strength materials, so there was no need to worry about them being damaged in battle. She put the Dragon Gem in the small bag, tied it with the red rope, and put it around Xinlinbao's neck.

"Chirp?" Heartscale Treasure was a little confused about what this was.

"This is something that can make you stronger. You must keep it safe and not lose it, otherwise you'll lose three months' worth of snack money." Lin Xiaolin gave Xinlinbao a knowing look.

"Chirp chirp!" Heartscale Treasure nodded quickly, promising that even if it lost itself, it would never lose this.

Xinlinbao likes to eat foods with high dragon content, and Lin Xiaolin also bought a lot of dragon-themed snacks to keep at home. These snacks are similar to Dragon Gems, and can be understood as mini versions of Dragon Gems.

However, these snacks are better than the dragon-type energy cubes provided by the school. Energy cubes can only be used as regular meals, while these snacks can be considered as extra meals.

Lin Xiaolin bought some for Xinlinbao to enjoy after training.

Even so, it almost emptied Lin Xiaolin's savings. The main reason was that dragon-type food was too expensive. Even if it was just eaten as snacks, Xinlinbao would eat more than two thousand Alliance Coins worth of snacks every day.

Fortunately, these snacks did indeed enhance his strength, otherwise Lin Xiaolin would have been extremely frustrated. The advantages of Xinlinbao eating high-quality dragon-type food have also become apparent, and the dragon-type energy in his body is exceptionally solid and powerful.

Of course, this is only in comparison to other dragon-type juvenile Pokémon. Yan Fan is not included, as his little dragon eats even better than Xinlinbao.

After lunch, Duan Xin led them to wait at the training ground, saying that the school team members would be coming over soon.

Sure enough, the five of them soon entered the training ground for first-year high school students. The one leading them was an old acquaintance, Wang Can, the vice captain of the school team, followed by two female seniors and two male seniors, all of whom they had met a few times before.

"Hey, all the juniors are waiting." Wang Can greeted the group with a smile.

"Hello, Teacher Duan, have you been waiting for a long time?" Wang Can became more serious when he saw Duan Xin behind the group.

"Okay, you guys can start the test right away. I'll just watch from the side and won't disturb you." With that, Duan Xin walked to a chair next to the training ground and sat down.

"Okay, then let's begin the final exams, juniors." Wang Can said, and then had one of the senior students stand in front of them.

"This is Tianqiu, a student from Class 0 of Grade 11. You can call him Senior Tianqiu. He is also one of the members of the school team's second team this year, and he will be your examiner. You will battle his Pokémon. The rest of us will analyze your scores based on the battle. If your scores are good enough, you will become reserve members of the school team. Good luck!"

Wang Can smiled and patted Tian Qiu on the back.

After speaking, Wang Can and the other three sat down on the chairs to the side, holding a recorder in one hand and a pen in the other, intently watching the battlefield.

"Lin Xiaolin, you're going first," Wang Can called out from the sidelines.

The other four first-year students also went to the side, leaving only Wang Can and Lin Xiaolin on the battlefield.

"Come on, junior. I won't command the Pokémon. I'll just let them do what they want." With that, Tianqiu threw a Poké Ball, and a flash of red light appeared. A green Pokémon that looked like a snake appeared on the battlefield.

"Tengteng." The Green Vine Snake arrogantly tossed its head away.

Elf: Green Vine Snake

property: grass

Level: Common

Gender: female

Trait: Contrarian [Irrational personality; his own skills decrease when boosted, and increase when debuffed; he likes to contradict his trainer.]

Inherited Skills: Grassy Terrain, Magic Leaf

Learn the following skills: Protect, Tie a Grass Knot, Sunbeam

Skills: Vine Whip, Bind, Super Absorb, Grass Mixer

Description: It has short but powerful limbs. Its facial expression often conveys mockery and disdain. It is clean.

Goodness, this is a starter Pokémon with a Hidden Ability. As expected, there are no easy members among the school team members. However, the stronger the opponent, the more excited Lin Xiaolin became. It had been a long time since he had fought against a strong opponent.

“Let’s go too, Xiao Bao!” Lin Xiaolin released Xiao Bao directly.

"Chirp!" Heartscale Treasure appeared in the arena and roared at Green Vine Snake, trying to boost its morale. However, Green Vine Snake ignored it and didn't even glance at it, which made Heartscale Treasure yell in anger.

"The exam is now officially starting!" Senior Tianqiu announced directly from across the room.

"Xiao Bao, test the waters with dragon breath first!"

Heartscale directly unleashed a dragon breath at Green Vine Serpent. Moreover, Green Vine Serpent intended to use its tail to deflect the attack. How strong could a Pokémon that had only recently reached its juvenile stage be?

But as soon as the dragon's breath got close, they immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly dodged. The dragon's breath struck the ground, creating a small crater.

All five members of the school team showed surprise. This dragon breath move already had the power of a beginner-level ordinary move, but the speed and release speed were a bit slow. They quickly wrote something on the record board in their hands.

"Xiao Bao, get close to him and use your ramming attack." Xinlinbao rushed directly towards the Green Vine Snake.

The Green Vine Serpent extended its two vine whips and struck at the Heartscale Treasure, but they did not cause much damage to the treasure.

Just as Xinlinbao was about to rush in front of her, Qingteng Snake jumped up to dodge the attack.

"Now, Dragon Tail!" Lin Xiaolin suddenly gave the order just as the Green Vine Snake leaped up and hid on the head of the Heartscale Treasure.

The Heartscale Treasure's tail emitted a blue light, and it lashed out at the Green Vine Snake in the air.

The green vine snake in the air had no way to dodge, but just as the dragon's tail was about to hit, a white light appeared around the green vine snake's body, and it blocked the dragon's tail.

Chapter 30 Final Exam 2

Just as Xinlinbao was about to unleash another Dragon Tail attack, a green vortex appeared directly in front of the Green Vine Serpent, filled with leaves, and hurled a Grass Blender at Xinlinbao.

"Xiao Bao! Use Protect!" But it was too late. The two Pokémon were too close. Xinlinbao didn't have time to use Protect and was directly knocked away by Grasshopper.

After being knocked away, Xinlinbao immediately stopped and narrowly avoided being knocked out of the arena.

"Is Xiao Bao alright?" Lin Xiaolin asked worriedly. The Vine Whip was fine, since Heartscale's bulletproof ability could block half of the physical damage. But this was a real hit from a Grass Mixer, a special attack from a normal-level Pokémon.

"Chirp!" Xinlin shook his head to indicate that he was fine and could continue fighting.

"Alright, let's go! Use Dragon Breath!" Lin Xiaolin understood from Xinlinbao's battle-ready back and immediately gave the order to attack.

Just as Xinlinbao was gathering dragon breath to bombard the Green Vine Serpent again, the Green Vine Serpent directly sucked Xinlinbao away from a distance. Xinlinbao couldn't dodge at all, and its little remaining strength was directly sucked away.

The Green Vine Serpent unleashed its ultimate absorption attack, instantly knocking Heartscale Treasure to the ground. Lying on the battlefield, its eyes darting around.

"Alright. Lin Xiaolin's assessment is over. Next up, please welcome Yan Fan." Just as Xinlinbao lost its fighting ability, Senior Tianqiu announced the end of the assessment.

Lin Xiaolin quickly stepped forward, picked up Xinlinbao, and headed towards the infirmary next to the training room. Xinlinbao had suffered serious injuries in this battle. Although the Green Vine Serpent had held back, it had still sustained considerable damage.

Lin Xiaolin sat outside the medical room waiting for treatment.

However, to Lin Xiaolin's surprise, Xinlinbao was still undergoing treatment. He planned to go out and watch the other four people's competition after Xinlinbao was healed, but Yan Fan came in carrying the injured Mini Dragon.

Lin Xiaolin: "???"

"I didn't expect you to be such a quickie guy?" Lin Xiaolin looked at Yan Fan with amusement.

"Get lost, Teacher Gu, please treat my Pokémon too." With that, she handed the injured Dratini to the teacher in the infirmary.

"What happened? You must have been 30% as strong as me, how could you have lost it so quickly?" Lin Xiaolin asked curiously.

"Ugh, don't even mention it. My Dratini just breathed out a dragon breath, and then the Viper dodged it and counterattacked. I told Dratini to use Extreme Speed ​​to dodge, but the opponent's attack was too fast. Dratini got a little nervous and didn't control its speed well. When it activated Extreme Speed, it just crashed headfirst into the wall." Yan Fan covered his face helplessly.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious!" Lin Xiaolin was almost laughing to tears. She hadn't expected to be defeated by the other party, but instead, she had knocked herself unconscious.

The two sat in the infirmary waiting. The dwarf dragon wasn't seriously injured, but the impact was too severe, giving it a big bump on its head. The infirmary staff bandaged it up and then sent it out.

"Mmm~" The mini dragon was looking at Yan Fan with teary eyes, and Yan Fan kept comforting the little guy.

Just as we finished comforting the Dratini, the healed Jangmo-o was also brought out.

"Chirp!" Heartscale Treasure was full of resentment; he wanted to find that snake and fight it again.

"Alright, alright, you'll have your own opponents to fight in the future." Lin Xiaolin patted his head to comfort him.

Just as the two got up to leave, the remaining three entered the infirmary at the same time.

Yan Fan: "???"
