Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Good stuff! If a piece of skin falls off while you're eating it, I'll stuff it back into your mouths!"

Lin Xuan said to the two little ones as she opened the box.

The box containing the Awakening Fruit and Energy Cubes wasn't very big; the larger volume came from the foam padding used to wrap them. After all, these things were quite precious, and it would be a huge loss if they were accidentally damaged.

"Let's go to the Pokémon Center."

Lin Xuan opened the box, glanced at it, and then closed it again. Gu Yuan had sent over three in total, one of which was to prevent a low-probability situation from happening. If there were no problems, it would be returned later.

It's not that the research institute is stingy. If Eevee and Tiny successfully master the power of awakening, then Lin Xuan will have no use for this Awakening Fruit, since he won't have a third Pokémon anytime soon.

The Awakening Fruit also has a time limit for use. Just like ordinary fruit will spoil if left for too long, its effects may be reduced or even completely ineffective if left for too long.

Lin Xuan brought Xiaodian and Eevee to the training area of ​​the Pokémon Center, where there was no need to worry about safety issues.

Otherwise, if he awakens at home, and Lin Xuan actually unleashes some kind of awakening fire that burns the house down, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.

"Eat this energy cube first."

Lin Xuan first handed them two energy cubes from the box, and after watching them eat them, she handed them two awakening fruits. The two little ones also ate them all under Lin Xuan's watchful eye.

Fortunately, while this thing wasn't particularly delicious, it wasn't as bad as a Devil Fruit either, otherwise Lin Xuan would have forced both of them to eat it.

Combined with the effects of the Energy Cube, the Awakening Fruit worked quickly, and energy rays rapidly appeared around Tiny and Eevee's bodies.

Eevee was the first to react. Similar to when using its support power, a faint yellow light appeared in its pupils. Eevee turned its head around, seemingly unable to find a place to demonstrate its power, and then its eyes fell on the cardboard box not far away.

A powerful superpower swept over, instantly compressing the cardboard box into a small ball, seemingly far more terrifying than the power it had displayed when using auxiliary abilities before.

"It really is a superpower..."

Lin Xuan nodded, which was not unexpected.

Although Eevee already possesses the Psychic-type move Power, it doesn't mean that Hidden Power is wasted. Hidden Power in the Psychic type represents Eevee's potential in this area, and it is also fully released along with Hidden Power.

Therefore, even if the awakened attribute is exactly the same as the original attribute, it does not mean that it is completely useless.

The process of awakening power was not complicated. Eevee finished very quickly. Little Dot was a little slower, but he also quickly stretched out his little paw, from which a small flame suddenly shot out and continued to grow.

"Awakened power of fire attribute?"

Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction, as this should be considered one of the most suitable awakened power attributes for Xiao Dian.

However, Lin Xuan soon discovered something strange: the energy light on the outside of Eevee's body slowly disappeared as the awakening ended, but the smaller awakening light lingered for a long time.

"Buy?"

Eevee circled the little guy's body twice, seemingly wondering why his awakening was taking so long.

"Hmm?" Lin Xuan also sensed something was wrong and quickly came over. "What's wrong?"

"Dandan".

The ball of awakened flame in Xiaodian's hand disappeared and he put it away, but he still scratched his head in confusion. He seemed to feel that there was still a power awakening in his body, ready to move.

The energy of the Awakening Fruit was almost completely consumed after he awakened the fire attribute, and even the awakening light on the outside of Xiaodian's body slowly dissipated over time.

"Dandan!"

I want more!

Xiao Dian immediately pointed to another Awakening Fruit that had been placed aside and said to Lin Xuan somewhat anxiously.

He could sense that this power was very important to him.

"Want more?"

Although Xiaodian's reaction was a bit strange, out of trust, Lin Xuan still took another Awakening Fruit and handed it to Xiaodian. The taste of this thing was just so-so. Xiaodian, who was used to eating high-end energy cubes, would not like this taste so much that she would want to eat another one, right?

After the second Awakening Fruit was used, the Awakening Light around the little dot surged again, but this time it wasn't flames, but... electricity?

The electric current outside the little dot surged for a moment, startling Eevee so much that it jumped onto Lin Xuan, who immediately tried to pull it off.

I wanted you to protect me! Why are you climbing on top of me?!

However, the electric current that erupted from Xiaodian's body only lasted for a moment before it subsided immediately, which startled Lin Xuan, who thought that the electricity in Xiaodian's body had gone out of control again.

After circling twice in mid-air and looking at its own body for a while, the little dot slowly flew back to Lin Xuan's side.

"Dandan~"

I think I've gotten stronger again~ =￣ω￣=

Lin Xuan: ? ? ?

"Yes, yes, that's it! It's because of that Awakening Fruit!"

Lin Xuan gave Dr. Sun Siming a strange report, while Xiao Dian openly eavesdropped on the side.

"The Awakening Fruit has this effect?"

Dr. Sun Siming tugged at one of his beard hairs, his face also filled with disbelief.

Are there any side effects?

"No, Xiao Dian said he's in excellent form right now, he could kill a Tauros with one punch..."

Lin Xuan glanced at the little figure standing to the side and then said.

"Then, then his electric current..."

"It seems like I'm controlling it more skillfully now."

Dr. Sun Siming pondered for a moment, then offered an explanation.

"It's possible that the Awakening Fruit accidentally triggered changes in Zapdos's genes when it was stimulating Little Dot's potential, which caused this situation." After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Wait here, I'll have someone send you another Awakening Fruit and see if it has any effect."

"Is this appropriate?"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched; these Awakening Fruits weren't cheap.

"That Zapdos feather could be traded for a truckload of Awakening Fruits! If I had known this stuff was useful, I wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to make this!" Dr. Sun Siming said through gritted teeth. However, he could roughly guess that the effects of Awakening Fruits were probably only temporary, and their real benefits were definitely not as great as Zapdos feathers.

"How about two more?" Lin Xuan asked tentatively.

"Let me check you out first. Xiao Dian's strength has just broken through, and because of the Awakening Fruit, he has brought out a part of Zapdos' power. We can't rush things."

"now?"

"That works too, I'm at the research institute right now."

Lin Xuan nodded, then quickly picked up Eevee and set off with Little Point.

One hour later, the research institute

"Xiaodian is in very good condition, even better than during the last check-up."

Dr. Sun Siming looked at the data report and said to Lin Xuan.

"Doctor, ever since I found out you lied to me last time, I haven't believed a single word on this paper." Lin Xuan said quietly from the side.

"Ahem, last time was a special case, this time there really is no problem." Then he took out a small box from the side.

"This is an Awakening Fruit. Let Little Dot go outside and try it out."

"Outside?"

"Do you really want to try it here? Let me make this clear: if you break any equipment this time, you'll really have to sell yourself to make up for it."

"Pretend I didn't say anything..."

It can be said that a small current is the natural nemesis of these instruments; once the current is applied, they are basically all doomed.

Following the doctor, we arrived at a relatively spacious room and had Little Dot eat the third Awakening Fruit.

After finishing her snack, Xiao Dian stuck out her tongue. This stuff really wasn't very tasty; it was a bit astringent, like eating an unripe persimmon.

But there was still no reaction after eating it.

"No reaction? It seems that it only works the first time you take it," Dr. Sun Siming said, frowning.

"Dandan?"

So I just ate it for free?

"It's alright, this thing is very valuable!" Lin Xuan comforted her.

"Dandan!"

But it doesn't taste good!

"Oh, right, Kobayashi, an Awakening Fruit costs about 60,000, which will be deducted from your salary over about six months. If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work."

Dr. Sun Siming threw the documents in his hand into the shredder and walked out, leaving Lin Xuan alone, bewildered in the wind.

"Wait, wait a minute, Doctor! Isn't this free?"

"Who told you it was free?"

"You didn't say there would be a charge for this!"

"I never said it was free!"

Lin Xuan: ...

"Stop making fun of me~" Lin Xuan said, on the verge of tears.
