Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Dandan?"

Little Dot grumbled in dissatisfaction, "After looking for so long, why isn't there even a single electric flying squirrel?"

"Isn't there a Pikachu here? They're both electric mice, so they're practically the same."

Lin Xuan gave a perfunctory reply.

Chi Ye's outfit is indeed very nice. Lin Xuan thinks he would look quite handsome in it, but he probably won't have the chance to wear it for a while... unless he wants to freeze to death if he goes out.

If this were the season in the north, it would probably be snowing already. Where would you find the chance to wear short sleeves? It would be more like wearing the outfit from Arceus, but it's a bit too retro. Lin Xuan doesn't really like it. If she went out wearing that outfit, she felt like she would be mistaken for someone who walked out of a mental hospital.

"A superpower style too? Not bad, not bad~"

Lin Xuan looked at the dress, which resembled Gardevoir's style, and exclaimed a few times, especially at the Poké Ball held up to her chest.

What a huge Poké Ball! No, no, that white Poké Ball... that doesn't seem right either.

"Boy!"

Ibrahimovic slapped Lin Xuan's phone down, glancing at the expression on Lin Xuan's face with his small eyes.

This is the women's clothing section!

"Ahem, I just accidentally clicked in."

Lin Xuan coughed twice to cover her embarrassment, then quickly retreated.

The little one on the side shook his head.

"Dandan?"

Are they really going to find Lin Xuan an adorable one?

Ralts curiously came closer.

"Ruth?"

What is "cute"?

"Dan dan dan dan~"

This is an adult topic; it's best for children not to know.

Although he wasn't even a few days older than Ralts, Little still acted like a senior.

"Russ~"

Ralts puffed out its cheeks and muttered to itself, "When it evolves, it'll be an adult!"

Then Lin Xuan also saw an outfit that looked very similar to the black-and-white protagonist, Touya. It was also very nice, and mainly because it matched the current season.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

One month later, Jianghai International Airport

"Phew~ It's so cold~"

Lin Xuan had an Eevee wrapped around her shoulder and only felt warmer after entering the airport.

It's winter break now, and although it hasn't snowed in Jianghai City, the temperature is still really low, making Lin Xuan freezing.

"Mr. Mimiu, is this a new style of clothing you've just released?"

Xu Jia and the others arrived at the airport a few minutes early, while Lin Xuan was the slowest. Their destination was Shanghai, the venue for this dojo tournament.

As for why Shanghai was chosen, according to Zhong Mingyi, there are currently eight cities with dojos established. To ensure fairness, the first dojo tournament was held in Shanghai by drawing lots.

Xu Jia seems to be the kind of person who cares about fashion; she could tell at a glance that Lin Xuan's clothes were the latest style.

"Oh, I don't know either, someone gave it to me as a gift~"

Lin Xuan glanced at the clothes he was wearing. He had only said that he was going to Shanghai to participate in a dojo competition, and the other party had rushed to send him the clothes, as if they were afraid that Lin Xuan would run away and not take them with him.

The style of the clothes was naturally the same as the one that Lin Xuan had previously liked, Dou Ye's. There seemed to be some minor modifications, but Lin Xuan couldn't tell. On his head was still the hat they had designed for the alliance, a limited edition worldwide.

I wonder if I can send him a Kyurem in the future, since this one is the same model. If not, Reshiram or Zekrom are fine too, I'm not picky!

Chapter 178 is all about emotions.

"Buyi~"

As they entered the waiting room, Eevee suddenly patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder and then pointed to a corner with her paw. Her psychic powers had detected a special gaze there, or rather, a sixth sense enhanced by her psychic abilities.

Although Lin Xuan is quite famous, he was wearing a mask at the time and was not recognized. Generally, no one would stare at him.

Lin Xuan turned around and looked back. Sure enough, a dark figure flashed by and quickly disappeared.

"Is someone following me?"

Lin Xuan frowned first. Over the past few days, Ibu seemed to have this reaction from time to time, mostly when they were shopping for groceries, but it would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Wait here for me, I'm going to the restroom."

Lin Xuan gave an instruction to Xu Jia and the others who were not far away, and then directly put Xiaodian and Ralts back into their Poké Balls from the backpack behind him.

Large Pokémon are not allowed in the airport, nor are Pokémon allowed to fly freely. Carrying them in a bag would also hinder Lin Xuan's movements, so let's put them away for now.

As for Ibrahimovic, he will stay outside to sense the situation.

"There."

Lin Xuan looked toward a corner where they seemed to be selling local specialties, such as Slowpoke tails. The figure had just flashed past there.

"I don't think I'm so bad that fans would stalk me to this extent, do I?"

Lin Xuan pressed down her hat and quickly followed.

Because they were in an airport, Lin Xuan didn't dare run too fast, but after quickly walking up, she still managed to lock onto her target, and then...

"Hey, where is he?"

In the blink of an eye, the person had vanished.

"Ahem, are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, a large hand patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder, the voice sounding somewhat deep.

Lin Xuan was startled and turned around to see a very familiar face.

"Hahaha, scared you, huh?"

The person behind Lin Xuan was Gu Yuan, and he had deliberately made his voice low just now.

Gu Yuan then took off his hat, revealing his receding hairline, which was barely concealed, and smiled as he spoke to Lin Xuan.

"Brother Gu? What are you doing here?"

Lin Xuan's eyes widened immediately. He thought he was going to catch some strange guy, but it turned out to be Gu Yuan.

"Yes, I need to go to Shanghai for a research project," Gu Yuan said without batting an eye.

"Project? I don't know anything about it."

Lin Xuan asked curiously, since he should know everything that was happening at the research institute.

"Ahem, weren't the evolution conditions for Espeon announced before? But there are too few Eevee that can meet the conditions. A research institute under Shanghai University needs some data and on-site observations of Espeon, so I'm responsible for sending Espeon there," Gu Yuan explained.

After saying that, he took out a Poké Ball from his pocket and gestured to Lin Xuan. The Pokémon inside was the second Espeon that the research institute had successfully evolved.

"You can just contact me for this kind of thing, I'll deliver it to you, right?"

"There are also some other collaborative research projects, which are quite complex, and I can't go into details here."

Gu Yuan waved his hand casually.

"Okay~"

Lin Xuan didn't suspect anything and simply nodded.

The evolution conditions for Espeon have been known for a long time; they are simple in some ways, and difficult in others.

It requires meeting several conditions simultaneously, including friendship level, psychic ability, daytime, and Eevee's strong desire to evolve. This is much more difficult than Umbreon, since Umbreon's evolution is only time-limited, except for friendship level. If you miss it, you can just wait another month.

However, Espeon's psychic abilities are something that not every Eevee can achieve.

Therefore, Lin Xuan did not doubt Gu Yuan's words.

But Gu Yuan secretly wiped the sweat from his brow. What he couldn't say was simply that he hadn't made up a good story.

The main reason is that Dr. Sun Siming believes that not long after Umbreon, the conditions for the evolution of Espeon also came into being, and Lin Xuan was involved in both of them.

Over the past month, Gu Yuan had caught enough traitors by following Lin Xuan to form a football team. Although similar situations hadn't occurred since the secret of Sun Ibrahimovic was revealed, it was hard to guarantee that no one would still try to take advantage of Lin Xuan. So, the professor asked Gu Yuan to go up and check it out.

It was really just for insurance purposes; Gu Yuan himself didn't think there would be any dangerous situation.

If there is no danger this time, then we can probably relax afterward.

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Ahem, isn't this a surprise for you?"

"I feel like this is a shock..."

Lin Xuan said speechlessly, "I was almost scared out of my wits just now."

"Boy!"
