Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse such a simple request.

Chapter 183 If I win, will I be able to get out of here alive?

After finishing their visit to the fortune-telling shop, Lin Xuan and Song Chen went to the charging room, which was much more crowded than the fortune-telling shop.

After all, while the fortune-telling shop is effective, it also has certain side effects. You can't go there every day, and most importantly, the number of Psychic-type Pokémon trainers is ultimately small.

Lin Xuan waited in line for almost half an hour before it was finally almost his turn.

Because Lin Xuan was wearing a mask, even the most conspicuous little dot was stored inside the Poké Ball. Only Eevee was perched on his shoulder, making it difficult for others to recognize him.

There are quite a few people at Shanghai University who have Eevee as their starter Pokémon.

However, quite a few people came to greet Song Chen, such as the one not far from Lin Xuan...

"Senior Song Chen."

The charging room wasn't in a remote location; it was not far from the teaching building. Long Xing passed by here after class and happened to see Song Chen standing in line outside.

"Senior, you don't have an Electric-type Pokémon, do you?"

Long Xing thought for a moment, but he didn't remember Song Chen needing any Pokémon to come to the charging room.

"Oh, I came here with someone," Song Chen said casually.

Then Long Xing became even more curious: Who had such a big influence that Song Chen had to queue up with them?

Then Long Xing glanced to the side and saw the guy he could never forget.

"It's you!?"

Long Xing stared wide-eyed at Lin Xuan, unable to believe he could see him here.

"Damn, you can still recognize me even like this?" Lin Xuan tugged at his mask. Was it because he was so handsome that even a mask couldn't hide it?

Then Ryusei pointed to Eevee on Lin Xuan's shoulder.

"I don't know why, but I feel that your Eevee has a very similar temperament to you."

Eevee, who was grooming its fur, suddenly stopped and glared at Ryusei with annoyance.

Who are they calling a moron? Who resembles Lin Xuan?

Lin Xuan: ...

Does this work too?

"Let's talk later, it's my turn now, I'm going in first~"

The trainer of the mischievous Rathalos in front of Lin Xuan had already hopped out of there with it, while Lin Xuan quickly went inside.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Song Chen pointed inside and followed him in.

"Me too, I'll go take a look!"

Long Xing immediately went inside, mainly to see how much Lin Xuan's electric flying squirrel had improved over the past month. He was still thinking about when to challenge Lin Xuan to another match and avenge his previous defeat.

Since you have to register in advance to use the charging room, otherwise it won't matter even if you get a turn, so naturally no one stops you.

"Is this what it looks like? It's much prettier than the fortune-telling shop."

"Wow~ This is my first time here~"

The first sentence was spoken by Lin Xuan, while the second sentence was Long Xing's original words. Lin Xuan couldn't help but look over curiously.

"Ahem, I don't have any Electric-type Pokémon, so there's no point in me coming here."

Long Xing explained somewhat awkwardly, then looked at Song Chen to the side, his meaning clear: this kind of thing shouldn't be just something he had to do alone.

"Hehe, sorry, I came here once when I was learning the Thunder Fist with my super strength."

Song Chen sneered, completely ignoring Long Xing's words.

"By the way, do I need to come here to learn the Thunder Fist?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xuan said, "Shouldn't this kind of charging room be for Electric-type Pokémon? Even if Machamp wants to learn Thunder Punch, it shouldn't have this need, right?"

"Of course not, so after I queued for an hour, the teachers inside just kicked me out." Song Chen shrugged.

Back then, he was young and arrogant, and his strength was only a small amount. He didn't understand these things at all. He thought that learning the Thunder Fist would require electricity, so he came over, wasting all the time he had spent queuing there.

Lin Xuan: ...

Ryusei: ...

"Next up, Lin Xuan~"

As Lin Xuan and the others walked and chatted, the staff inside started urging them to hurry up, so Lin Xuan quickly brought out the snacks.

"Keep smoking, it's free anyway!"

Lin Xuan whispered in Xiao Dian's ear, but all of this was seen by the two people next to them.

Charging rooms aren't just found at universities in Shanghai; many Pokémon centers in major cities have them. Lin Xuan had taken Xiao Dian to try it out before, and it was great—Xiao Dian ate her fill, but it also made Lin Xuan's wallet ache for a long time.

The technology behind this charging station isn't particularly advanced, but it needs to be installed in many places, and the price to use it is not low.

Even students at Shanghai University wouldn't use it every day, as it wouldn't benefit their spirits and would be like forcing growth.

But if you do it occasionally, the effect is still very good.

Lin Xuan wasn't a student at Shanghai University, but she had a letter of introduction from Zhong Mingyi and had previously gone with Song Chen to get the school leaders' stamps, so she could use the facilities here as she pleased.

After confirming Lin Xuan's information, the staff took another look at Xiao Dian. It was just an ordinary two-star electric flying mouse. Even if they let him suck it up, how much could he suck up?

The staff remained very calm until Xiao Dian sat down.

Then the smaller one started to suck in a lot of air.

The staff initially prepared just enough power for Little Dot to meet the needs of a normal two-star Pokémon, and even a little extra, but Little Dot quickly absorbed it all.

"It can charge so much?"

The staff member scratched his head, then drew a new current for the small spot.

As for Lin Xuan, she was whispering to Song Chen on the side.

"If you smoke too much, will you charge me?"

The last time Xiaodian went to charge was half a month ago. When the bill came out, Lin Xuan almost thought the other party was trying to scam her. In the past half month, Xiaodian's battery capacity seems to have increased again.

"Don't worry, this charging station is only open to a limited number of Samsung Genie users for free. Even the four-star Genie is only charged a friendly price. We don't need your little bit of power~"

Song Chen said helplessly, he felt that Lin Xuan was a good person in every way, except that he was inexplicably stingy, even though this guy was much richer than him!

I heard they recently landed an advertisement with a certain corporation.

But compared to Lin Xuan's relaxed chatter, the staff were not so calm.

One... two... three... the numbers keep rising.

The staff member blinked as he looked at the numbers on the dashboard. Was there something wrong with the machine?

…………

"I think I understand why you're so stingy now~"

Not far from the charging room, Song Chen glanced at Lin Xuan's little doll with a complicated expression. The guy was still flying in mid-air eating tree fruits as if nothing had happened, seemingly unaware that he had almost driven the staff inside crazy.

The tiny dot absorbed all six normal portions of current. In theory, that much current would be enough to supply even a three-star spirit.

"Sigh, I'm just glad you understand."

Lin Xuan sighed as well. Little Dian really ate too much; it not only ate tree fruits but also consumed electricity. If you included the cost of the medicine from Dr. Sun Siming…

Forget it, let's not think about that. Lin Xuan doesn't want to become a worker who spends all his time paying off debts.

"I'm going back now~"

Lin Xuan greeted Song Chen. Having visited most of the places she needed to go, and with it getting late, Lin Xuan prepared to return to the hotel.

Long Xing, who had been following behind Lin Xuan and the others, hesitated for a long time, but when he saw that Lin Xuan was about to leave, he couldn't help but speak up.

"Wait a minute, Lin Xuan, I'd like to have another match with you!"

To be honest, Long Xing was somewhat dissatisfied with losing that match, mainly because Lin Xuan deliberately hid his strength during the semi-finals; otherwise, his Garchomp wouldn't have chosen to use Reverse Scale at that time.

If it weren't for this decision, the outcome would still be uncertain.

Therefore, Long Xing has always wanted to fight Lin Xuan again, and no matter who wins or loses, he wants to challenge him again!

"You want to spar with me?" Lin Xuan scratched his head, then said something that almost made Long Xing vomit blood, "But I've switched careers to become a coach now!"

Even so, Long Xing still didn't want to miss this opportunity, otherwise who knew when he would meet Lin Xuan again?

"As the saying goes, when trainers make eye contact..."

Before Long Xing could finish speaking, Lin Xuan pulled out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and quickly put them on.

Ryusei: ...

"Where did you get this thing from?"

Song Chen's lips twitched.
