Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan asked Eevee, since Eevee was the only one among them who was good at psychic powers, and if there was any way to get out of this predicament, they could only rely on her.

Eevee closed her eyes and began to meditate. Soon, superpowers radiated outward from her body, but she quickly opened her eyes again.

"Buyi~"

Ibu shook her head; here, her superpowers seemed to be suppressed, unable to spread at all.

Chapter 258 Even if they find out, what can they do?

"An elf skilled in psychic abilities?"

Lin Xuan frowned slightly. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that not only were they trapped in an illusion, but even Eevee's psychic abilities were directly suppressed and could not be used.

"Gallade, try using Teleport to get out of here."

Lin Xuan suddenly had an idea and said it to Gallade. Gallade was also stunned for a moment. After all, what if it teleported away and then couldn't find Lin Xuan and the others?

"Let's try to sense the outside world and use teleportation first."

Lin Xuan shook his head and said that using the teleportation skill is not something you can just do whenever you want. You have to set the coordinates first before you can use teleportation.

For distant targets, anchor points need to be set up in advance, otherwise the teleportation will not be possible at all.

As for the current situation, even Eevee's psychic abilities are suppressed. Lin Xuan thinks Gallade's teleportation might also be in jeopardy, possibly unable to be used at all, or unable to be aimed at the outside space.

Just as Lin Xuan had guessed, Gallade closed its eyes and sensed for a while before quickly opening them and looking at Lin Xuan again.

The space here seems to be isolated from the outside world. It is impossible to set the coordinates for instantaneous teleportation outside of one's line of sight. Moreover, judging from the current situation, Gallade estimates that even if an anchor point is set in advance, it will probably fail to be used due to the spatial blockade.

Then, at Lin Xuan's suggestion, Gallade tried using Teleport around the area without being disturbed.

"So cruel?"

Lin Xuan looked around helplessly. Even the space around them was sealed off. Wasn't her opponent's method a bit too much? She was still just a child!

"Sweat~"

Xiao Xi tugged at Lin Xuan's trouser leg, indicating that she could try digging a hole and crawling out.

Lin Xuan simply shook his head. He hadn't even used teleportation. The opponent couldn't possibly be unprepared for such a simple method, so he decided not to waste his time.

Meanwhile, Manaphy floated smugly in mid-air, thinking, "Now you know how powerful I am, right? If you're willing to beg me respectfully now, it's not impossible for me to let you go."

But Lin Xuan's solution to this situation was very simple: give up!

Anyway, given the league's style, there's definitely no danger. That's life, you know. Since struggling is useless, you might as well enjoy it! At least you have to have some fun, right?

So, to Manaphy's astonishment, Lin Xuan started a fire on the spot.

First, she took out a small pot from her bag, and then she saw Gallade use Water Blade. Eevee used its Psychic powers to catch it steadily and pour it into the pot. Meanwhile, Little Point carefully controlled Hidden Flame to boil the water, and the packaging of frozen dumplings on the side was also opened.

"Be careful, don't let the fire get too big."

"Dan dan dan dan~"

You can rest assured about what I do!

After the water boiled, Xiaoxi and Xiaomi threw the dumplings into it one by one.

Manaphy: ...

You're trapped! Can't you at least show some basic respect for my trial?! Can't you show a little bit of panic?

"Huh~"

Fortunately, along with the frozen dumplings came disposable chopsticks and other utensils. Lin Xuan picked up a dumpling, blew on it in front of her face, and then ate it in one bite.

"Not bad, it's just a pity there's no vinegar~"

I don’t know if it’s okay to eat sweet food, but it feels a bit strange and a bit extravagant. While eating, Lin Xuan also spoke to the air not far away.

"Can you come out first and we can talk this over properly? You're not going to hurt me anyway, so why don't we just sit down and have some dumplings together? I can even share two with you... um?"

Lin Xuan was talking and eating dumplings when she suddenly noticed that the dumpling she had just picked up had mysteriously disappeared in front of her.

"It's you who did it."

Lin Xuan said helplessly, "I knew it. The one who has trapped us here is the same guy who stole our energy cubes before."

"Mana~"

But just then, Lin Xuan heard a voice next to her and quickly turned her head.

While eating the dumplings he'd just snatched from Lin Xuan, Manaphy revealed his true form. There was no way around it; Lin Xuan was just too lazy. Knowing he wouldn't really do anything to him, he just started his picnic and even tried to eat in front of him—he was inhuman!

“Manaphy…”

"Mana!"

Manaphy's face showed a proud expression. It seems that he is quite famous. This idiot actually knows him. So the next step should be to kneel down and submit, and beg him to give him God's blessing, right?

Lin Xuan blinked as she looked at the elf that had appeared in front of her, momentarily unable to believe it. She immediately put down her chopsticks and prepared to reach out and grab it.

"A living Manaphy?"

"Mana!"

Manaphy, who was initially proud after being recognized, instantly lost her composure and dodged Lin Xuan's hand with a quick movement.

[Don't you have any manners?!]

Manaphy's consciousness was transmitted into Lin Xuan's mind.

"Buy?"

Eevee turned its gaze in confusion upon seeing Manaphy. Was this the one who had just sealed her psychic powers? Gallade, on the other hand, went into alert mode.

Although he didn't know who this guy who suddenly appeared was, he must be very strong to be able to approach them so stealthily and trap them here.

“You don’t need to be nervous.” Lin Xuan shook his head. “Being nervous won’t help. You can’t beat him even if you all work together.”

Manaphy is a legendary Pokémon no matter what. Although it always appears in a comedic way, it still has the power of a legendary Pokémon. When Tiny and his friends faced Manaphy, they were instantly defeated without any chance of survival.

"Mana!"

[You're not that stupid!]

Seeing that Lin Xuan had finally said something he liked, Manaphy immediately nodded.

At this moment, Lin Xuan looked at Manaphy in front of her, and while surprised, she also began to think about something.

"The Poseidon Cup... what does it have to do with you?"

Manaphy, known as the Prince of the Sea, has a close relationship with sea gods like Kyogre and Lugia. This tournament is also called the Sea God Cup, making it hard not to associate it with something.

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Manaphy didn't say anything more, but simply floated forward a short distance before speaking to Lin Xuan and the others:

Come with me~

But after hearing Manaphy's words, Lin Xuan simply pointed to the pot in front of her.

"What should I do with all these dumplings?"

Manaphy almost fell from mid-air, then pointed to Eevee next to Lin Xuan, indicating that since Eevee has superpowers, she could have it.

"Where are we going?"

As they followed Manaphy deeper into the cave, Lin Xuan couldn't help but ask this question.

"Mana~"

You'll find out then~

Manaphy floated slowly, even drifting over to Ibrahimovic and stealing a dumpling from the pot. Perhaps it shouldn't be called stealing, since it was done openly and honestly in front of Lin Xuan.

As they walked, Manaphy seemed to start to complain about the group's pace, feeling it was too slow.

"Mana~"

A pale blue energy surged from Manaphy's body, enveloping Lin Xuan and his group. In the blink of an eye, they all disappeared into the cave.

Once Lin Xuan and the others were far away, the power that had isolated the cave from the outside world disappeared, but it no longer mattered to Lin Xuan.

It felt somewhat different from teleportation. There was no dizziness; simply put, the force was gentler. If the scene before him hadn't changed, Lin Xuan wouldn't have dared to imagine that he had been teleported.

"Mana~"

Seemingly knowing what Lin Xuan was thinking, Manaphy began to explain that this was not traditional teleportation, but simply using one's own power to break through space. Many divine beasts can do this, but it is not the same as teleportation in principle.

"Then this place is..."

Lin Xuan glanced around. It seemed to be a lake, and he was standing on the shore. The surrounding area was shrouded in mist, and the sunlight was struggling to penetrate downwards, making the place appear somewhat hazy.

Lin Xuan immediately guessed that this must be the lake in the center of the island, but it felt a little different from what she had imagined.

"This is my secret base, you know. I'm only allowing you, a human, to come in once. Besides you, only that old man is here."

Manaphy's voice reached Lin Xuan's ears.

"Old man? Who is that?"

"Hmm... Anyway, he's a really annoying guy. When you see him later, remember to beat him up for me."

Lin Xuan remained silent. Someone who could elicit such a reaction from Manaphy, would he really go up and beat her up? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

"Coward~" Manaphy muttered instantly upon seeing Lin Xuan's reaction, and then floated away to a distance. However, he didn't really intend for Lin Xuan to do anything. If Lin Xuan really had that kind of strength, he wouldn't be trapped by his second-rate superpower.
