Chapter 733 Gift - Keystone
The breeze was blowing gently, the lights were twinkling, and Lin Shi was standing alone on the rooftop, gazing at the starry sky.
"It's about time. This should be enough."
Lin Shiwei clenched his hands and talked to himself. From the gaps between his loose fingers, strands of crystal green light emanated, contrasting with the stars in the sky.
The palm gradually loosened, and it was a tiny green fragment. If you look closely, you can find that it comes from the same source as the wishing paper on Jirachi's head.
This was Jirachi's last gift to Lin Shi. Although the power of wishes that Jirachi had absorbed from the Meteor People a thousand years ago had been almost exhausted, Jirachi still gathered the last bit of the remaining power of wishes and turned it into this little fragment.
It can also randomly satisfy a small wish in Lin Shi’s heart. The starlight at night is the final key to unlock its seal.
"Huh, this thing really makes me look forward to it. I wonder what wish it will give me... Just give me a stone slab..."
Lin Shi was thinking wildly, and then activated the tiny fragment in his hand according to Jirachi's instructions.
As the light became more dazzling, Lin Shi could feel that the fragments in his hand were changing, becoming rounder and heavier.
Finally, the blue light changed into colorful light. Looking at the objects in the light, Lin Shi was stunned at first and then slowly smiled.
It really fulfilled his inner wish...
Keystone: A stone that contains an unknown power. It allows the Pokémon carrying the Keystone to Mega Evolve.
The wish that Jirachi asked him to fulfill was to give him the Evolution Key Stone that he had been seeking for a long time. This was indeed what he wanted. With it, plus the Mega Evolution Stone of Gyarados and Mega Evolution Stone of Flying Dragon, he could mega evolve them to fight!
And at this time, it can be said that this comes at the right time!
"Phew, thank you Jirachi."
Looking at the evolution key stone in his hand, Lin Shi muttered to himself, he could no longer wait to give it a try.
"Deng Deng..."
Just when he was planning to find a place to feel the charm of super evolution, a sound of footsteps slowly came. Lin Shi looked and found that it was Liu Longbo walking towards him.
"Coach Liu didn't sleep at night and went to the rooftop to get some fresh air?"
After putting the key stone away, Lin Shi looked at Liu Longbo jokingly.
"How can you sleep at this hour? I just came back from the hospital, so I don't have as much free time as you."
Liu Longbo crossed his arms. The fierce cold wind blew on him, but he seemed to feel nothing.
"How are they?" Lin Shi asked casually.
"Chen Bu Luo and the others are fine. The examination results are all normal. It's just that they seem to be mentally traumatized. They need some time to recover. I think they will wake up in the next two days."
"This is also a good lesson for these arrogant little guys. When facing tasks in the future, I wonder if they dare to be perfunctory like before."
Liu Longbo replied, then remembered something and continued.
"However, the condition of the old man named Yang Wangxing is not so good. According to the hospital's diagnosis, his brain seems to have been strongly stimulated and damaged. It is hard to say when he will wake up. It may take three to five years, or it may be a lifetime."
"Is this so..."
Listening to the news about Yang Wangxing, Lin Shi was also sighing. Although he and Yang Wangxing had not been together for a long time, and he had spent most of that time in the Phantom Tower with "Sadu" who was gradually replacing him, they were still friends after all, and he felt a little sad about the other party's fate.
The wind blew quietly, and the brightly lit city became quieter and quieter. As the night deepened, the city fell asleep.
"By the way, Pavilion Master Qin Yi has woken up. After hearing about your situation, he wanted to thank you in person. But? I heard that you are going back to Taoxian City tomorrow?"
Suddenly, Liu Longbo's voice broke the silence, with a somewhat accusatory tone. After all, he was the head coach, but the news that Lin Shi wanted to leave was something he heard from Qin Liuying in the hospital.
"Ah? Oh, I didn't expect Coach Liu to be so well-informed. Considering that you've been tired all day, I wanted to tell you tomorrow, but now that you know everything, I'll take a leave."
Lin Shi was stunned at first, then he remembered that he had talked about this matter with Qin Liuying, and immediately went on to talk about it.
"I have been out for a long time. There are some things that Tao Xian needs me to deal with. As you know, I am not only a student of Northern University, but also a researcher of an elf research institute. Some things are difficult to refuse."
"My friend is going back to Taoxian City tomorrow, so I want to go back with him to deal with things. This way, I can better prepare for the training."
"Moreover, judging from the current situation, your Dragon Green Team cannot possibly stay in Feitian City. When the time comes, I will go directly to Kyoto City to join you. It won't delay anything."
What Lin Shi said was well-reasoned, polite and restrained, and Liu Longbo really couldn't find any fault with it.
And even if we take a step back, Lin Shi played an indispensable role in the fact that the Long Qing team was able to escape safely from the Phantom Tower, so just wanting a few days of vacation is not really a difficult thing to do.
"It seems that I have no choice but to approve this leave?"
Liu Longbo gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.
"Hehe, thank you Coach Liu then."
Lin Shi said with a laugh and bowed to Liu Longbo.
"You kid..."
"Huh, okay, how long do you need?"
After letting out a breath, Liu Longbo asked casually, but before he could react, he saw Lin Shi extending a finger.
Liu Longbo: …
……
The next day, after saying goodbye to Qin Liuying and others, Lin Shi and Meng Wan boarded a plane to Taoxian City together. As the plane landed at Taoxian Airport, Lin Shi finally returned to Taoxian City again.
Looking at the familiar buildings and streets, Lin Shi stood up straight and took a deep breath. Although he had been away from home for less than two months, he felt as if he was in another world.
Attend a wedding, explore an island, get trapped in a veil, fight in the deep sea, find aliens, enter the phantom tower...
One thing after another caught him off guard so many times that he couldn't get a good rest for a long time. This time, thanks to Liu Longbo, Lin Shi finally got a "little bit" of vacation.
So he planned to take some time to have a good rest, return to Baishan City to visit his parents, and get in touch with Diancie and Xuwuide.
"Lin Shi, Xiao Wan, you guys are finally back!"
The only person who came to pick them up at the airport was Li Taoyao. She ran up excitedly when she saw the two people getting off the plane. Meng Ge's career was booming and he was very busy, while Su Qimeng had to finish her studies and heard that she had gone to investigate new ruins.
As for roommates such as Zhou Wanjin and Gao Duo, Lin Shi simply informed them and did not ask them to come over at all. After all, he was familiar with the place and did not need so many people to pick him up. As for welcoming him, it would not be too late after he returned to school in two days.
Anyway...
"Finally I can take a break."
Lin Shi thought so as he breathed in the familiar air.
