Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Are you trying to get me to lift the ban?

Lin Xuan's first thought was that Zhong Mingyi would hold her accountable for the earlier ban, but after thinking about it, she felt that was not right. She had banned this guy so many times, he should be used to it by now, there was no reason for him to come after her for something like this.

"Hey, what's up? Let's get this straight, lifting the ban is impossible unless you promise not to spread rumors in my live stream anymore."

"Then let me tell you, that's impossible too."

Lin Xuan gritted her teeth in anger. Was this guy really that tough?

"What for?"

"Just a reminder, don't forget to take the professional trainer exam. You've already put it off for a week."

"Do we really have to do this? It sounds so tiring..."

Lin Xuan lay flat on the bed and said that when Ralts outside heard him end the broadcast, she brought in a plate of cut fruit, stuck it with toothpicks, and put it directly to Lin Xuan's mouth.

"Ah~ Ooh."

Lin Xuan took a bite, and it was only when he saw Ralts that he felt like the head of the household. Little Point and Eevee lacked the respect they deserved! They treated him like nothing more than a human servant, which was wrong!

"I get the feeling that your life is quite extravagant these days?"

Upon hearing the sounds coming from Lin Xuan's end of the phone, Zhong Ming on the other end asked in confusion.

"So when are you going to hire a secretary or something? As the head of a dojo, don't you have anyone to share your workload?"

Lin Xuan asked curiously.

It's not that he likes the existence of secretaries; he doesn't like the like—long-legged, black-stockinged older women!

I was just curious and asked Zhong Mingyi if he had this idea, yeah, that's it.

"The league originally seemed to be going to assign me an assistant, but I declined, feeling it would be a bit restrictive."

Zhong Mingyi said without any hesitation that the people the alliance placed in the dojos, no matter how nicely they were called, still had a bit of a surveillance feel to them. Although Zhong Mingyi was upright and had nothing to hide, he still hated the feeling of being watched and felt that he was not free enough. He was fine with things as they were now, and he wasn't too busy.

"That's a pity~"

Lin Xuan thought about the leader of Team Rocket in the Pokémon world, who seemed to have a secretary, but Giovanni was clearly a workaholic. As for who Silver's mother was, that was an eternal mystery.

"Wait, weren't we talking about your participation in the professional trainer exam? Why are you bringing it up again?"

Zhong Mingyi's IQ suddenly returned. He didn't know why, but he felt that his IQ would gradually decline when he talked to Lin Xuan.

"Are you sure you want it?"

Lin Xuan took another slice of apple from Laluras.

"Of course you should. Logically speaking, your status as a coach is somewhat irregular. You don't even have a professional trainer's license, so you shouldn't be interviewing for the instructor position. So, hurry up and get it sorted out in the next few days!"

"Okay, okay~"

Lin Xuan reluctantly agreed, mainly because he had too many things to do these past few days. The research on Espeon at the research institute seemed to have made new progress, the gym required him to teach classes, and he also had to provide commentary for the college league.

This made Lin Xuan herself want to find a younger person to learn how to create a shadow clone.

Being a professional trainer isn't really a profession; it's just proof that you've reached a certain level of skill, enough to perform certain tasks for the League.

This world isn't so safe. Even in cities, you can occasionally encounter vicious Pokémon causing trouble, let alone in the wild. For example, a certain group of Pokémon might riot, a family of Beedrill might start attacking humans, or a certain group of Pokémon might enter their mating season.

Many tasks require trainers with certain skills to handle, but the league itself cannot spare enough manpower, so it has to outsource these tasks to trainers in the community.

Moreover, having this professional trainer certificate not only allows you to take on league missions, but also makes finding a job much easier.

However, this also means that the threshold for becoming a professional trainer is not low. At the very least, a trainer must have a two-star Pokémon. But don't think that you can pass the test just by summoning a two-star Pokémon.

Normally, you need at least two two-star Pokémon to have a chance of passing the test.

The requirement of only needing a two-star trainer is reserved for certain special trainers.

For example, some people only raise a few Pokémon in their lifetime. They may have already reached three stars with their first Pokémon but still haven't caught a second one. If you ask them for a second Pokémon at this point, it would be a bit of a problem for them. They can't just catch one for you right away, can they?

After thinking for a while, Lin Xuan booked a professional trainer qualification test for himself on the official website two days later. The registration fee was 500 yuan, which was a bit expensive. Lin Xuan took a screenshot and sent it to Zhong Mingyi to ask if it was considered public funds and could be reimbursed. Zhong Mingyi replied with a simple "Get lost".

Two days later

At the entrance of the Pokémon League Center, although there is only a two-word difference between this and the Pokémon Center, the flow of people is worlds apart.

At the Pokémon Center, you can see a lot of trainers and Pokémon coming and going at any time, but here Lin Xuan didn't see many people coming and going for half a day.

“I’ve checked. It seems that this test will involve physical tests for different Pokémon, and the final part is the battle. If it’s you…” Lin Xuan glanced at the little dot and continued, “It might be an electricity test, so be careful then.”

Lin Xuan reminded him that Xiao Dian had taken the medicine given by the doctor once in the past few days, and the effect was quite significant. The amount of electricity he could control had increased dramatically, exceeding the normal electricity consumption of an electric flying mouse. Therefore, Lin Xuan wanted him to take it easy.

This test only requires one Pokémon to pass. If Ralts were to participate, Lin Xuan was genuinely worried that he would directly test Ralts' psychic abilities, and Ralts would simply fail the test...

"Dandan!"

Xiao Dian patted his chest confidently, indicating that everything was fine and he would handle it perfectly.

Lin Xuan nodded, indicating that she believed it for the time being, but why did it still feel a bit unreliable?

Stepping into the Pokémon League Center, the interior was only slightly smaller than the Pokémon Center itself, but there weren't many people there. There were only a handful of people in front of Lin Xuan, handling their business.

It was only a few minutes before it was Lin Xuan's turn.

"You are... Lin Xuan?"

But before he could even hand over his ID card, the young lady in charge of registration recognized him.

"Yes, I'm here to take the professional trainer exam."

Lin Xuan nodded.

The registrar looked surprised. She remembered that Lin Xuan was only a freshman in college. Was he going to become a professional trainer so early?

It should be noted that most of the trainers who come to take the test are over twenty years old, and some are even over thirty and have not yet passed.

But then she thought about it again. Lin Xuan had won the championship in the freshman group of the college league, so it seemed like there was no problem with doing this. The look of surprise on her face gradually disappeared.

"What do you need to register for the detection wizard?" Although it felt like a rhetorical question, I still had to follow the procedure.

"Electric flying squirrel".

"You've already registered, please follow me."

After saying that, he led Lin Xuan and Xiao Dian inside, first arriving at a room with the Electricity Department sign hanging outside.

"Please go in first. There are staff inside who will be responsible for the testing. If you pass the test, I will take you to the official testing site."

The young lady spoke to Lin Xuan, who nodded and went inside.

In the middle of the room was an electrical detection device, which was not much different from the one Lin Xuan had bought before, which he thought was a counterfeit, except that it could detect current intensity many times stronger.

The staff members who had been slacking off nearby quickly stood up after seeing Lin Xuan.

"Small spot~"

Lin Xuan gestured for Xiao Dian to go over, while giving her a look that signaled her not to go too far.

Leave it to me!

Xiao Dian returned a glance.

The testing personnel placed the thread on the small spot's cheek twice and immediately gave a warning after turning on the device.

"Please unleash the full power, without holding back."

Threads of electricity began to emerge from Xiaodian's cheeks, constantly surging into the device, and the data displayed on the dashboard immediately soared.

从1、2、3一路暴涨到了10，而10也差不多就是正常的合格标准了。

Lin Xuan nodded, feeling that it was about time to stop.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the current on the dashboard had already reached 20, and it was still rising—24, 26…

It doesn't even rise one level at a time; it jumps around.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough!"

Lin Xuan coughed violently a few times, almost coughing up her lungs, before Xiao Dian finally realized that she was still slightly overdosing...

The inspector blinked as he looked at the ground current data on the dashboard, finding it hard to believe that an electric flying mouse could produce such data. But the machine had just been tested that morning, so it couldn't possibly be wrong!

After regaining her senses, she turned to look at Lin Xuan, who had looked like she was about to cough to death.

"Are you OK?"

"Cough cough, it's nothing, just a slight cold, cough cough~"

This time it wasn't an act; I was deliberately coughing so hard that I think I hurt my throat a bit.

Lin Xuan glared at Xiao Dian. Didn't I tell you to be more careful?

Xiao Dian shrank back a little guiltily. He didn't mean to, and he accidentally exceeded the limit. This was only because he had already restrained himself quite a bit; otherwise, he could have gone even higher.

"Uh... Electric Flying Squirrel's stats are excellent. You can proceed to the next battle assessment."

The inspectors checked the machine again to see if there were any problems, and after confirming that everything was fine, they let Lin Xuan leave.

After Lin Xuan left, the staff realized that Lin Xuan looked familiar and remembered his identity.

If that's the case, it's not impossible that Lin Xuan's electric flying mouse is so powerful.

"Barely up to par."

After leaving the room, Lin Xuan spoke to the young lady outside. When the staff inside the room heard his voice, they almost spat out blood.
