Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Eevee, who was dozing off, almost fell flat on her backside, but thankfully she reacted in time and used her superpowers to catch herself. However, this did not stop her from condemning Lin Xuan's behavior.

"Let me see."

However, Lin Xuan couldn't care less about that at the moment; she was eager to know if the stone Gu Yuan mentioned was the one she was thinking of.

Lin Xuan rushed to the screen. The photo was very clear; Lin Xuan could even see the patterns on the stone. The key detail was the moss on the stone.

A mossy stone that allows Eevee to evolve!

"Any results?"

Lin Xuan suppressed her excitement for the time being and continued to ask Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan noticed Lin Xuan's excitement but didn't take it to heart. This was normal among researchers like them. If it was eventually confirmed that the stone was related to Eevee's evolution, Gu Yuan wouldn't be surprised if someone wanted to go up and take a bite out of it.

Lin Xuan's reaction was, in his opinion, already quite "calm".

"According to the instrument's measurements, this stone seems to exhibit some characteristics of the Leaf Stone, but it is also different. However, experiments have shown that Pokémon that evolve using the Leaf Stone can also evolve using this stone, but in terms of evolution level... it is probably equivalent to a relatively ordinary Leaf Stone."

Gu Yuan explained to Lin Xuan.

"What about Ibuki?"

Lin Xuan also realized something. This mossy stone can allow Pokémon that need a Leaf Stone to evolve, but for Eevee... if it could really evolve directly, Gu Yuan wouldn't be reacting like this.

Dr. Sun Siming was originally going to study the evolution of Eevee, so it was impossible for him not to bring Eevee with him.

The Eevee creatures did exhibit some unusual reactions after touching the stone, but they were clearly still far from evolving.

"Does this mean we need to stay there for a while?"

Lin Xuan made this conjecture: in the original work, even if there is a Moss Stone, it's not that the player can control Eevee to touch it and it will evolve. Instead, it needs to level up near the Moss Stone. Lin Xuan guessed that this might be part of the reason.

Gu Yuan nodded after hearing this.

"The professor thinks so too. This stone contains a huge amount of energy, and it seems to be closely related to the entire Entei Forest. For those Pokémon that evolve using Leaf Stones... the professor guesses that the effect may not be good because of the inconsistency of energy. Moreover, the energy emitted by the stone each day is also limited. It would be a waste to use it to evolve ordinary Pokémon."

Gu Yuan shook his head. If the evolution effect could be equivalent to those top-tier evolution stones, that would be fine, but if it was only at the level of ordinary evolution stones, it would be a bit lacking.

Those large mines can produce many times more Leaf Stones every day than this one, so it's not worth their time and effort.

"What are your thoughts, Doctor?"

Although I'm certain that this stone is definitely related to Eevee's evolution, I still want to hear the professor's opinion.

"The professor has decided to stay there with Eevee for a while to see if there will be any changes in Eevee."

Lin Xuan nodded upon hearing this, which was indeed in line with the doctor's style.

"But... wouldn't it be too dangerous to stay directly in the Yan Emperor Forest?"

Lin Xuan realized this. According to Zhong Mingyi, the Yan Emperor Forest was actually a secret realm that people were not allowed to enter under normal circumstances, especially the depths of the Yan Emperor Forest, where the elves were extremely powerful, and there were even rumors that divine beasts lived there.

The name "Emperor Forest" is not without reason. Legend has it that Emperor Yan once fought a Pokémon here, and the falling flames burned down a large area of ​​the forest. The fire was once out of control, but Ho-Oh appeared in time and extinguished the fire.

Although it's unknown what kind of spirit could fight against the Ent Emperor, it was definitely weak, probably at the level of a legendary beast. This means that the Ent Emperor Forest and the three legendary beasts are all related, and the situation inside is quite complicated.

"You can rest assured about that. The Alliance has also taken this into consideration and has assigned people to protect the Doctor's safety." As he said this, a mysterious smile appeared on Gu Yuan's face.

"Protect? Who?"

Lin Xuan asked with some curiosity.

"Hmm... that senior isn't particularly famous, and you probably don't know him either. Just know that he's a master-level trainer, and a veteran one at that!"

"Hiss~ Master level?"

Lin Xuan gasped.

The minimum requirement to become a master is to have a five-star Pokémon. Moreover, according to Gu Yuan, he is a veteran five-star trainer, and he must have more than one five-star Pokémon, making him incredibly powerful.

People of this caliber are probably few and far between even in China.

"Yes, so you don't need to worry."

Lin Xuan then took Eevee for a check-up, but strangely, there were no abnormalities... This was the biggest abnormality, and the results showed that Eevee was perfectly healthy, and had gained some weight like Little Point, so it might need to lose weight.

Gu Yuan was aware of Eevee's condition, and he and Lin Xuan decided to have him examine it properly after the professor returned from dealing with the Yan Emperor Forest.

Chapter 241 Common Topics Among Mouse-like Pokémon

After leaving the research institute, Lin Xuan naturally returned home, but went back to school that afternoon.

It wasn't because I had class in the afternoon, but because I was going to fulfill a promise I had made earlier.

"Eat up, it's for you."

Lin Xuan took out energy cubes from her backpack and handed them to Xiaodian and Yibu. Then she took out a newly bought box containing white energy cubes, took out two, and handed them to the two mice in front of her.

"Susu!"

After the pair of mice received Lin Xuan's energy cube, they happily sat down in front of him and started eating. After taking a bite, they looked up with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"Su Su?"

He felt that today's energy cubes were different from the ones he had last night, but they tasted even better.

"This was made especially for you. I asked someone for some energy cube recipes that are suitable for you, so that you can better supplement your nutrition. The things you ate before had no nutrition at all, which was actually not good for your growth."

Lin Xuan said with a smile, "Actually, this also shows the talent of these two mice. They can become so strong just by growing up eating snacks. If they could have systematic training, they would be amazing."

Unfortunately, neither of them wanted to follow human trainers; they preferred to be free. Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't force them to make a decision.

"Sweat~"

"Millet~"

Both mice looked at Lin Xuan with gratitude; this was definitely the best meal they had ever had.

"Hmm... it's hard to tell who's talking if we keep talking like this. How about we give you nicknames?"

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and then said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't know who I'm calling every time I speak."

The two mice tilted their heads, seemingly unaware of this, as their racial talents allowed them to communicate perfectly, knowing what the other was thinking even without speaking.

Therefore, it's highly unlikely that a family of mice would stray...

"Hmm... let's call them Xiaoxi and Xiaomi then!"

Lin Xuan wasn't very good at naming things. If he hadn't felt it wasn't quite right, he would have liked to name them Mouse Hero... easy to remember and domineering!

However, Lin Xuan felt that if he said his name, even if a pair of rats didn't care, they might open their mouths and take a bite out of him.

In the end, Lin Xuan took the character "粟" from their calls and split it up: the male mouse was called Xiao Xi, and the female mouse was called Xiaomi.

After choosing a name, Lin Xuan felt it was pretty good, thinking she did have a bit of a talent for naming things!

Both mice seemed unconcerned. After nodding, they opened their mouths and swallowed the energy in one gulp, much to the curiosity of the little ones watching.

"Dandan?"

Why are your mouths so wide open?

Little Dot curiously leaned over to ask for advice. If she could do it too, it would be easy to snatch food from Eevee in the future; she could just stuff it into her mouth.

Xiao Xi didn't say much. She simply pointed to her mouth with her paw and then suddenly opened it wide under Xiao Dian's gaze, leaving Xiao Dian dumbfounded.

"Dandan!"

【Amazing! 】

Xiao Dian couldn't help but clap her hands, while Xiao Xi scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly. This was not a difficult task for them.

Although they were both Pokémon with mouse-like creatures, Little Spot and the pair of mice seemed to have a lot in common, but after Lin Xuan listened for a couple of minutes...

"Susu!"

I think XX brand potato chips are delicious!

"Dan dan~" Little Dot shook her head dismissively.

I still prefer the xxx brand barbecue flavor.

"Sweat~"

I prefer milder flavors when eating potato chips, like lime flavor~

Can potato chips really be considered bland?

Just as Lin Xuan was deep in thought about this age-old problem, Zhong Wenxing walked over and sat down next to him.

"You've subdued them?"

Zhong Wenxing pointed in the direction of a pair of rats, his meaning quite clear, but Lin Xuan shook his head.

"They don't seem to like being subdued, so that's how it is. As long as they don't steal things, they're not inherently bad."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wenxing nodded, then glanced at the box containing the energy cubes in Lin Xuan's hand, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Others might think these are just ordinary energy cubes, but he could tell that these energy cubes were not cheap, and were just as good as what Eevee, Kirlia, and the others ate.

To put it bluntly, even if a normal person feeds some wild Pokémon, they would at most give them some berries or ordinary food. Who would give them Energy Cubes like Lin Xuan did, especially such high-level Energy Cubes?

“Rich people~” Zhong Wenxing couldn’t help but sigh.

While it's true that becoming a powerful Pokémon trainer requires some financial resources—because the resources for raising Pokémon are quite expensive—it's rare to see someone as extravagant as Lin Xuan.
