Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

The powerful explosion instantly engulfed the spot where the Mushroom had been standing. The explosion's power seemed to be several times greater than the previous plasma energy ball, and sparks and electricity scattered everywhere.

The one who suffered the most was the Mushroom. Even though he blocked the first wave of the most intense explosion, he still discovered a problem: the electricity and flames seemed to haunt him relentlessly.

The electric current drilled into his body, bringing a tingling sensation that made him unable to move, while the flames seemed to cling to him as if they were alive, burning endlessly and impossible to extinguish.

"I lost."

Watching the mushroom fall in the flames, Zhao Fang sighed and announced the final result.

The research base is located at sea outside Yunhai Province. It is not far from the location where the Poseidon Cup competition is held. If you take a boat, you can get there in a few hours.

However, the base itself is classified and uses special concealment methods, making it difficult for even Pokémon flying overhead to detect it.

Was something unusual just now?

Yun Baohua stared at the Ultimate Hole as usual, but just now, he seemed to see the various data fluctuate slightly, but even the most sophisticated machine did not seem to detect the abnormality.

He immediately frowned and asked his companion.

"No, the alarms didn't go off."

"Retrieve the data from earlier; I need to take another look. Something feels off."

Chapter 264 Abnormal Energy Fluctuations

"Okay, I'll go retrieve the data right away!"

At Yun Baohua's suggestion, although they didn't think there would be any problems, the staff members carefully retrieved the data from the Ultimate Hole from a previous period and displayed it on the large screen in front of them.

"This... there shouldn't be anything unusual, right?"

After a careful inspection, it was found to be very stable, which is considered a very good situation recently. The person next to him then said to Yun Baohua.

"Perhaps it's just my imagination. After all, the Ultimate Hole has been a bit unstable lately, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Is it my illusion?"

Yun Baohua frowned, it seemed that was indeed the case, but he seemed to have just discovered something unintentionally... Then a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him, and as if he had thought of something, he said to the person next to him.

"Retrieve the energy data around the Ultimate Hole again."

"This is...good!"

He hesitated for a moment, but looking into Yun Baohua's eyes, he immediately agreed and retrieved the energy data for that period of time.

"right here!"

Yun Baohua immediately noticed an anomaly on the energy detection instrument. The timing also matched up; it was at that moment that the ghost-type energy around the Ultimate Cave flickered strangely.

"It's just an energy fluctuation, it shouldn't have anything to do with the Ultimate Cave, right? Should we tell Gym Leader Zhong Mingyi or the Guild Master?"

Energy fluctuations are a problem that can be considered a big deal or a small deal, and given that the Ultimate Cave has remained calm and without any anomalies, he was debating whether or not to report it.

"Report this to the Master first! The Poseidon Cup is extremely important; we cannot afford the slightest mishap!"

Yun Baohua said with a firm look in his eyes, "The island where the Poseidon Cup is held has gathered a large number of elite young trainers from China. If an accident happens, it will be close to a complete collapse, if not a complete loss of talent."

Although it is said that the old man is there to oversee things, we still have to be careful.

As for the sky above the island at this moment, a blue figure flashed across the sky. The elf noticed it, but couldn't catch up at all, so he could only purse his lips.

"Where did that guy run off to again?"

Meanwhile, someone quietly came up and gave Yanming a reminder.

"It seems that the chairman was exploiting people too much. After sending them all to Manaphy, it wasn't enough, so he was sent back to get more."

"Would that guy be willing?"

Yan Ming looked incredulous. Manaphy was notoriously stingy, and all he had was the ability to get things out of his mouth.

"Who knows how the president did it~" someone shrugged.

"I'll have to ask him for advice then. It's been a long time since I've seen the president. I wonder how he's doing."

Yan Ming nodded seriously. Of course, there was no need for a visit. Although the president was older than him, he was in very good health and might even be able to see him off. There was no need for a visit. Who knows who would be the one to offer incense to whom at that time?

The main thing is to learn how the association president tricked Manaphy.

"Brother Lin, how exactly do you train your Pokémon?"

After completing the trial, Long Xing set off with Lin Xuan. Along the way, they had someone to talk to and someone to look after them. At the same time, Long Xing also asked Lin Xuan a lot of questions.

"Just call me Lin Xuan. Calling me like that... makes me feel like I've traveled back in time."

Lin Xuan scratched his face and said, "Although he is indeed a time traveler, he traveled to the modern era, not ancient times! Can you speak normally?"

"I'm mainly used to staying in the tribe."

Long Xing said the same thing, but he didn't really care about these things. Before they were familiar with each other, Lin Xuan was the one who called him that. Now that they were familiar with each other, the habit of being in the Yu Long family had reappeared.

"By the way, do you all live deep in the mountains and forests, Yu Long family?"

Since they had just rested on the way and neither Lin Xuan nor Long Xing were live streaming, they had no reservations and asked directly.

“No, not at all.” Long Xing shook his head. “It’s not that remote, but due to some special reasons, Yulong Township is indeed a bit remote. The younger members of the clan live there, but it has all the basic amenities, such as Wi-Fi, heating, and running water. It’s not that outdated.”

Long Xing introduced it to Lin Xuan.

“If you have the chance, you can come visit our Yulong Township after this competition. The old men in the clan shouldn’t refuse,” Long Xing said to Lin Xuan with a smile.

"Does it fit?"

"There's nothing inappropriate about it, and I also know a few cousins ​​there. If you have the chance, you could..."

"Ahem... Let's talk about something else!"

Although Lin Xuan was worried about not being able to find someone cute, she decided to give up on blind dates.

"The old men in my family must like you quite a bit. As for the reason... you probably know it too. After all, with your talent and Dr. Sun Siming's research institute behind you, it's hard not to associate you with those things, which might seem a bit mercenary."

Long Xing didn't hide anything from Lin Xuan and spoke quite directly. Although he was a bit simple-minded, he wasn't stupid and naturally knew the reasons why the people in the clan wanted him to befriend Lin Xuan.

If Lin Xuan were just an ordinary person, he wouldn't necessarily stop the two of them from becoming friends, but he certainly wouldn't encourage it like this.

"It's normal~" Lin Xuan didn't mind at all. In fact, it was already quite remarkable that Long Xing was willing to tell him so much.

The two then talked about the Dragon Country, mainly because Lin Xuan was curious whether there were really many Dragon-type Pokémon there.

The answer is definitely yes. Dragon Country is not only the largest habitat for Dragon-type Pokémon in China, but also in the whole world. It is in a class of its own. Other regions may have similar places, but they are still inferior.

After all, with countless historical accumulations, Dragon-type Pokémon have longer lifespans. As time goes by, the strength of the Dragon Country naturally becomes stronger and stronger, which is something that no other type of Pokémon can do... Perhaps Ghost-type can, but it is difficult for such Pokémon to gather in large numbers and coexist harmoniously with humans.

Kalos has a history of dynasties that were destroyed by Aegislash. Ghost-type Pokémon are even more elusive and unpredictable than Psychic-type Pokémon.

There are many dragon-type Pokémon in Dragon Village, but the most common ones are ordinary dragon-type Pokémon such as Altaria and Flygon, as well as pseudo-dragon Pokémon such as Charizard and Gyarados.

The number of pseudo-legendary Pokémon is not as large as one might imagine. After all, breeding is quite difficult, and the selection criteria for those powerful pseudo-legendary Pokémon are generally very high, which makes it even more difficult to obtain pseudo-legendary offspring.

This is still in the Land of Dragons, under the premise of human intervention. If it were in the wild, the birth rate of quasi-gods would be extremely low. It's only because they have the ability to survive for a long time that they would have become extinct long ago.

Speaking of pseudo-dragon Pokémon, it seems that there are also Roaring Behemoth and Minishira in the Dragon Village, but in smaller numbers, since these two Pokémon mainly live in the Padina region.

However, these two Pokémon are quite strong, especially when they work together, they can achieve results far greater than the sum of their parts.

However, this is only in the "fused" state. If they were separated, these two Pokémon would not be that strong. They are the kind of Pokémon that can play a big role in team battles and double battles, but are at a disadvantage in single battles.

After all, once Milion enters the body of Roaring Beast and starts issuing commands, all its abilities immediately increase dramatically. Combined with its Pure nature, it's simply terrifying.

After discussing the Dragon Village, Lin Xuan restarted her live stream. However, the topics they discussed became a bit simpler, focusing on issues related to Pokémon breeding.

After all, Long Xing was still very curious about why Lin Xuan's strength had improved so quickly...

Although Lin Xuan couldn't explain it either, after all... he seemed to be the least noticeable trainer in the entire team!

Originally, she was responsible for cooking and cleaning, but now all of that has been handed over to Gallade and a pair of mice. Every day at home, Lin Xuan either has to complete her acting tasks or just laze around.

But I still have to say... it's so satisfying to just give up!

[It is recommended that Ryusei not learn the training methods of Teacher Mimikyu]

Indeed, it can't be learned.

[You should ask Xiaodian for this kind of question. After all, Mimikyu-sensei is just a commentator; he doesn't know anything about breeding!]

[Reconsideration!]

And that was indeed the case. The more Long Xing listened to Lin Xuan, the more confused he became, feeling as if his worldview had been shattered.

"We should leave skill learning to the Pokémon themselves. All we need to do is give them a few pointers, and they'll be able to learn the basics on their own."

"Learn a new skill? Isn't that something an elf can learn by just glancing at it?"

Long Xing took a deep breath after listening to Lin Xuan's words, realizing that asking Lin Xuan that question was a mistake. He immediately fell silent and chose to change his special ability to "soundproof," ignoring whatever Lin Xuan said.

"However, in my opinion, nothing else matters most; the most important thing between a trainer and their Pokémon is the bond."

Upon hearing this, Long Xing looked up, his eyes seeming to say: You've finally said something I can understand.

Long Xing then nodded in agreement.

"This is what our elders taught us from the very beginning. If we can't even do this, we are not qualified to be a quasi-god as our initial spirit."
