After returning to Pokémon Center, Tian Lin immediately handed the forest lizard to Qiao Yi and returned to his room with a heavy heart.
" In this battle, if I had relied on the speed advantage of the forest lizard to fight the fire dinosaur in close combat, I wouldn't have been given the chance to use that combo. However, I had to show off my tactics and use some waves to disrupt the fire dinosaur, but it didn't cause any substantial damage. In the original novel, Fire didn't even collect 8 badges, so he subconsciously thought that the other party was weak and underestimated him. Now, the forest lizard is injured to this extent. It's all my fault.”Tian Lin punched the wall and blamed himself.
"Is Mr. Tianlin from Zhenxin Town here? There's a call for you.”Just as Tian Lin was silently blaming himself in his room, he suddenly heard someone looking for him. He lived in the elven center and used the illustrated book to register. As long as someone knew his illustrated book number, they would be able to find him.
Tian Lin came to the hall and picked up the phone. The video on the other end opened. It was Sister Lan.
"Sister, hello. How have you been recently?”Tian Lin's mood improved slightly when he saw his sister. "What do you mean by that? You've been away for almost a month, and you haven't called home at all. Do you know how worried I was?”Jun Shalan said unhappily.
"Ah, I'm sorry, sister. I've been busy training Pokémon recently, so I forgot about it. I'm sorry, I'll call home often in the future.”Tian Lin apologized.
"What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy? Did something happen?”The elder sister seemed to have noticed Tian Lin's unhappiness and asked. Tian Lin had no intention of hiding anything from his sister and told her about what happened today.
"I see. I understand now. Tianlin, should I say that you're really my brother? It seems that your journey has been very smooth. You didn't lose a single battle. You've been like this since you were young. Ever since you entered Dr. Ogmu's research institute, you learned everything very quickly and there was no difficulty. Now that you've become a trainer, the rapid improvement in your strength has allowed you to win consecutive battles and be invincible. However, this has also made you complacent and look down on others, right?”
Tian Lin nodded.
" What's there to be troubled about? Haven't you already realized this yourself? You just need to give it your all in every battle. Tell yourself that I'm very strong, but not the strongest. I'm just a person who's still moving forward towards his dream.”
" I am very strong, but not the strongest. I am just a person who is still moving forward towards his dream," Tian Lin said to himself. That's right, he did not realize such a simple reason. The various hall masters, the Four Heavenly Kings, the champions, there were countless people standing far ahead of him. What qualifications did he have to be complacent? " I understand, sister. Thank you," Tian Lin thanked Jun Shalan.
"By the way, Sister, why did you suddenly look for me today?”Tian Lin asked Jun Shalan after his mood improved.
" Aiya, I almost forgot about the important matter. Do you know the city of Withered Leaves? There's a cruise ship about to set sail there. It's said that it's going to hold an exchange meeting for young scholars in the Pokémon research field. You're also on the list of invited exchange members. It's about ten days later. Your invitation letter was originally sent to your home, but you weren't there. Dr. Oki suggested that I help you send it to a place called Dr. Masateru's Lighthouse. He said that if you go to Withered Leaves City, you'll pass by there. I can go and get it." Jun Shalan said.
"Cruise ship, sister, could it be that the cruise ship is called the San Antonio?”
" No," Jun Shalan replied. Tian Lin heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest. Fortunately, Tian Lin didn't want to sit on that doomed cruise ship.
" It's called Titanic." However, Jun Shalan's next words made Tian Lin's heart sink. Who gave it that name? It feels more dangerous, doesn't it? Sister, I must have offended you somewhere to let me go there. Tian Lin's face was full of black lines.
"Dr. Oki said that there will be a competition between young scholars that day. Scholars with strong research and combat ability will have rich prizes! You will definitely be very interested." Jun Shalan said with a smile.
" There are generous prizes in the competition. This piqued Tian Lin's interest. In any case, it just happened to be the same name. There should be no harm in going and taking a look, right?" Tian Lin comforted himself.
"Alright, then I'll hang up first. Remember to get the invitation letter. Also, you have to call home every week to let me know that you're safe. Otherwise, you'll be finished!”Jun Shalan said fiercely. Tian Lin immediately nodded in fear. He could not withstand his sister's anger.
'Looks like I'll have to set off soon after the forest lizard recovers,' Tian Lin thought.
In the afternoon, the Forest Lizard was still recuperating. Tian Lin released Benben Fish by the pool." Benben Fish, this is the Boiling Water Skill Machine. I'll let you use it now. You have to remember it well!" This is an extremely important unique skill for you in the future.”
The stupid fish was very touched. In the past two days, its master had been busy with its growth and had spent a lot of effort. It had to work hard to become stronger and repay its master. Just like the forest lizard and the flying mantis, it would fight for its master. One day, it would break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly.
Tian Lin placed the skill machine on the head of the stupid fish. Soon, the information on the skill machine was loaded into the stupid fish's body.
"Alright, stupid fish, try boiling water.”The stupid fish spat out a stream of warm water, but it was far from the temperature of boiling water, and the power was also very small. It seemed that the skill machine could only allow Pokemon to master the basic moves. If he wanted to use it to perfection, he would have to go through a lot of training.
"Hello, Mister Tian Lin. Your Forest Lizard injury has been treated. Now, you just need to let him rest for a day. He will be back to his best condition the day after tomorrow.”At this moment, Miss Jouyi came over with the forest lizard's elf ball.
"Alright, thank you, Miss Joey.”Tian Lin took back the Forest Lizard's Spirit Ball.
At night, Tian Lin released all his Pokémon and lay on the grass behind the center to look at the moon.
"Forest Lizard, it's been hard on you today. Rest well for the next two days. There are still many battles waiting for us!”Tian Lin said to the Forest Lizard. The Celestial Kylin Lizard nodded. It had the desire to become the strongest and was not afraid of battle. The Flying Mantis patted the Forest Lizard's shoulder with its scythe, as if saying that it should rest well for the next two days.
"We've already obtained the Hualan Dojo's badge and Boiling Water's skill machine. There's no need to stay here anymore. We'll set off tomorrow morning. We need to get to Zhenghui's Lighthouse as soon as possible.”Tian Lin said to everyone.
