Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

However, if you think about the resources used by the smaller one, it seems quite reasonable.

The most important feather on Zapdos's body, if it were a Dragon-type Pokémon, would be equivalent to its Achilles' heel, touching it would mean certain death.

Even if the owner of this feather is just an ordinary Zapdos, its strength is conservatively estimated to be at the five-star level. This level of resource is extremely precious even in the League, and only someone of Dr. Sun Siming's status can obtain it.

Zapdos feathers, which are already extremely beneficial to Electric-type Pokémon, plus the Zapdos "bloodline" hidden in Little Spot's body, if this isn't strong enough, Dr. Sun Siming would be at a huge loss.

"Once Little Spot is fully promoted to three stars, the effects of the potion will weaken and will likely continue until Little Spot is close to four stars. This process may be very distant for other Pokémon, and they may never be able to achieve it in their lifetime. But according to my prediction, this time will not exceed one year for Little Spot, so we need to prepare in advance."

"Then... what is the connection between these things and this research institute?" Lin Xuan was still somewhat puzzled.

“You should know that I got that feather from the League, and it wasn’t obtained by the League through violence. There’s a Zapdos living in the middle area of ​​the Champion Road at the League headquarters. This feather fell off naturally from it. And the director of the Thousand Clouds Research Institute used to be the trainer of this Zapdos.”

Dr. Sun Siming stated frankly that these things should actually be considered confidential information of the alliance, but he did not hide anything from Lin Xuan.

He was going to tell him eventually anyway, and he didn't think there was any need to doubt Lin Xuan's words.

But Lin Xuan discovered another problem regarding what Dr. Sun Siming had just said.

"If this Zapdos has a trainer, why is it staying on Champion Road?"

The Champion Road is an important area under the League, and many urban legends have always circulated about what is inside. Those who can enter are at least trainers of Zhong Mingyi's caliber.

Note that, at least for now, Zhong Mingyi is still unable to enter the path to the championship and begin his challenge.

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Dr. Sun Siming remained silent for a while.

"You must not tell anyone what I'm about to say today, especially not in front of the director of the Qianyun Research Institute."

Dr. Sun Siming's words sounded somewhat mysterious, but Lin Xuan had no choice but to agree.

"That Zapdos suffered a very serious injury many years ago and could only heal by relying on the special environment of the Champion Road. Even today, it has not fully recovered, let alone left that place, and recently it seems to have worsened."

Lin Xuan immediately understood. No wonder Dr. Sun Siming had told her not to mention these things; otherwise, wouldn't it be like talking about his Volcarona in front of Adek? It felt like giving the forensic pathologist a difficult problem…

"Then I'll go tomorrow."

Lin Xuan said directly that since he had canceled the live stream more than once, everyone would get used to it after a few more cancellations. His main purpose was to help his viewers develop strong resilience, which was a good thing!

Lin Xuan then asked Dr. Sun Siming some questions about the Road to Champions, but was brushed off with the excuse that "children shouldn't know so much." Clearly, even Dr. Sun Siming couldn't say much about anything related to the Road to Champions.

However, Dr. Sun Siming also left a message at the end.

"If you can win the championship like Zhong Mingyi later, you can go inside and take a look."

"Then let's forget about it."

Lin Xuan said helplessly, "Although I am a transmigrator, Zhong Mingyi seems to be the chosen one of the world. Even if I am the protagonist of the transmigrator story, my script probably has nothing to do with trainers."

So let's just forget about it for now. We can try asking him when Zhong Ming goes in.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan directly announced on Bilibili that she would be skipping tomorrow's call, and also posted a picture of DouDou Pigeon on it.

[He cancelled his live stream after just one day?]

[To correct you, it should be half a day]

Anyone want to join me in rebelling against the motherfucker?

[In Suyun City, this is a case of imitating Teacher Qiu's face.]

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and then left a comment under the last one.

Those who dare to criticize me will be blacklisted for at least three years.

Chapter 203 Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture

The next day, Lin Xuan arrived at the Qianyun Research Institute, which Dr. Sun Siming had mentioned, on time.

"Hello, I am Lin Xuan, who has been invited to visit Dr. Su Qian. This is my invitation."

Lin Xuan showed the certificate the doctor had given him to the staff at the door, but the staff recognized him at first glance.

"Oh, I know, that genius researcher from Jianghai City, right? The doctor has already given instructions. Let me take you in. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Zhao."

Despite saying that, the other party still carefully checked the information on the certificate before opening the access control and letting Lin Xuan in.

Just call me Lin Xuan~

Lin Xuan's lips twitched; it was still quite embarrassing to be called that in public.

"Oh, what's the big deal? With your achievements, if you were in the same league as those guys in our research institute, they'd be strutting around like crazy," Zhao Chengwen said with a grin, not making any special gestures because of Lin Xuan's status.

After all, as one of the largest research institutes in Yunhai Province, Qianyun Research Institute often receives many top researchers from home and abroad, and in other words... Zhao Chengwen is not an ordinary security guard.

He doesn't actually belong to the research institute, but is directly under the League. However, he is under the institute's command and is responsible for security here. To do this job, you can't do it without a few three-star Pokémon.

As he walked through the Qianyun Research Institute, many people cast curious glances at him, and quite a few recognized him. After all, he seemed to be quite famous among researchers, especially in Yunhai Province.

"You're Dr. Sun Siming's student, right?"

For some reason, Zhao Chengwen suddenly asked Lin Xuan this question.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lin Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Ahem, it's nothing, just a reminder to be careful when you talk to the professor later, just... try not to mention your teacher too much, understand?" Zhao Chengwen reminded Lin Xuan. Although he spoke rather vaguely, Lin Xuan roughly understood.

There seems to be some conflict between Dr. Su Qian and Dr. Sun Siming?

The professor even sent me here! Didn't he tell me about this beforehand? Doesn't that seem a little irresponsible?

This is a veteran who once owned Zapdos as a Pokémon, so can we judge him by ordinary standards?

Lin Xuan gritted her teeth, feeling that Dr. Sun Siming seemed a bit unreliable, but now she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Doctor, Lin Xuan has arrived."

Finally, Zhao Chengwen led Lin Xuan to the door of an office and knocked on it a little harder.

"come in."

Hearing the voices coming from inside, Zhao Chengwen glanced at Lin Xuan, but for some reason, Lin Xuan seemed to be able to see a hint of "good luck to you" in that look.

Lin Xuan: ...

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, then opened the office door and walked in.

Behind the desk was an elderly woman who looked to be about the same age as Dr. Sun Siming, who was intently looking at the documents in her hands.

Although the years have left indelible marks on her face, one can still vaguely see that Dr. Su Qian must have been a beauty in her youth, and even now, one can still discern the elegance she exudes.

"Sun Siming sent you, didn't he?"

Dr. Su Qian looked up at Lin Xuan. From the tone of her words, Lin Xuan could sense a hint of displeasure and was certain that Dr. Sun Siming was probably trying to frame her.

But when I went online yesterday, I didn't see any reports about any feud between Dr. Sun Siming and Dr. Su Qian.

What a rip-off! What a total rip-off!

"Yes," Lin Xuan said, forcing herself to speak.

"Please sit down, don't be too nervous." Dr. Su Qian pointed to the chair not far in front of her and gestured to Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan didn't think much of it and sat down directly.

"Let me see your electric flying squirrel."

Dr. Su Qian didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan didn't hesitate and took out the Little Dot Poké Ball. Then, a red light flashed and Little Dot appeared between the two of them.

"Dandan~"

I'm so suffocating!

After Xiao Dian came out, he didn't even notice the atmosphere and immediately complained to Lin Xuan. Then, he turned around and saw Su Qian staring at him, which startled him.

"Dandan!"

The little dot immediately flew back behind Lin Xuan, now displaying a docile side—no, it should be said, a pretense…

"That's just how he is, please don't mind him..."

Lin Xuan laughed awkwardly and said, "I should have warned him a couple of times before he came in."

"Dandan~"

Xiao Dian muttered a couple of complaints behind Lin Xuan's back, but ultimately didn't raise her voice, mainly because the old lady didn't seem like someone to mess with.

Su Qian glanced at Xiao Dian with a slight hint of doubt. She could indeed sense a trace of Zapdos's aura emanating from Xiao Dian.

Although it was very faint, and no one else would have been able to sense it, she could, because she once had a Zapdos.

But apart from that, Little Spot and Zapdos have almost nothing in common; it seems they only inherited this one bit of its aura.

If she were to think of Zapdos, the first impression would be its domineering nature, an aura that other ordinary Pokémon cannot display, and the oppressive power unique to legendary Pokémon.

But if it's smaller... why does it look more and more like the landlord's silly son?

Su Qian's expression was a little strange, but in the end she did not doubt Dr. Sun Siming's data. Although there was indeed some grudge between the two, she was very willing to trust him when it came to scientific research. The data given by Dr. Sun Siming should be correct. This electric flying squirrel does have a strong Zapdos bloodline in its body, and a small part of it has already been developed.

Speaking of this, even Su Qian couldn't help but admire Dr. Sun Siming's generosity. He actually gave that feather directly to this little guy. You know, over the years, countless trainers specializing in Electric-type have applied to the League for it, but none of them have been approved.

This condition, similar to the Outrage ability of Dragon-type Pokémon, is something Zapdos rarely loses, even for most Electric-type Pokémon, let alone Tiny.

And her Zapdos...

"Dr. Sun Siming has applied to the League for your additional entry into the Champion Road, allowing you to travel to the Zapdos habitat."
