Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Nothing to do."

"Ok?"

"If there is a dragon-type Pokémon that you like, it will naturally follow you. This is a consistent rule in our Dragon Village."

"Didn't you say before that there would be some kind of test?"

"That's right. Just because an elf has a crush on you doesn't mean their parents do too. When you have a girlfriend, you still have to call her uncle or aunt."

"I'm so sorry, I have no experience with this kind of thing."

"Hmm... I'm not surprised at all by your words. I'm also very curious about who could possibly be interested in you."

Lin Xuan: ...

Why does this guy's way of speaking sound a little like his own voice? It's starting to get annoying.

It can only be said that Lin Xuan is quite self-aware in this regard.

Before long, Lin Xuan followed Long Xing to the front of a canyon. On both sides were towering cliffs, and every now and then a few Pokémon could be seen flashing by in the sky. Lin Xuan saw Noivern, Gyarados, and even what seemed to be a Salamence, but it was too fast for him to see clearly.

However, what attracted Lin Xuan's attention the most was not the high cliffs on both sides, nor the dragon-type Pokémon flying overhead that gave people hope, but... the statue in front of her.

Standing forty or fifty meters tall, it resembles a giant standing before the valley, exuding an intense sense of oppression with just a glance.

This is the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon, known as the Dragon Regiment – ​​Regidrago!

The statue of Reginald Lago has its arms outstretched, but if viewed from above horizontally, one cannot see that Reginald Lago's body is actually more like a giant dragon's head.

"This is……"

“Regidorago.” As Lin Xuan uttered this name, he could feel that Long Xing’s voice had become more confident and deep. “Guardian of the Dragon’s Land.”

"Patronus?"

Lin Xuan stood there stunned; it was the first time he had ever heard of this.

“With this statue here, although not many people have visited Dragon Village, there are still quite a few who know about it,” Long Xing said to Lin Xuan as he looked up at the statue of Reginald.

"Dandan!"

The little dot also flew into the air, looking straight at the "big guy" in front of it, and for some reason had a feeling... This guy's body is so strange.

"Be careful! Be gentle!" Lin Xuan shouted into the air, genuinely worried that this guy might accidentally damage the statue. If that happened... it would only create a problem for the forensic doctor.

No, it's hard to say whether a forensic doctor can even see themselves.

"Haha, it's alright, this thing isn't that fragile." Long Xing just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"I have a question." After hearing Long Xing's words, Lin Xuan felt a little relieved and then continued to ask Long Xing.

"what?"

"When you say guardian deity, do you mean faith, or...?"

The concept of guardian deities is somewhat vague. If we were to say, would Ho-Oh be considered one of the guardian deities of China? But how many people have actually seen one?

It's too vague and ethereal, but if it's not the first possibility, but the second one... that's a bit scary.

"Regidorago has protected the land of dragons from invasion by foreign enemies for many years."

As expected, the one that exists in Dragon Village is the real Regidrago, and judging from the importance the Dragon Family attaches to it, it should be the strongest Regidrago.

The five pillars, including Regidorago, were created by Regigigas, the Regigigas God, and their relationship is somewhat similar to that of Ho-Oh and the three legendary beasts.

Regigigas created more than one pillar; in fact, the shadows of Pokémon such as Regirock and Regice have been found in many ancient ruins.

Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are three Pokémon created by Regigigas using rocks, ice, and steel. Obviously, the best materials were only enough to create the strongest one, and the rest were just imperfect products made from scraps.

Even so, ordinary Regirock and his companions possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary Pokémon, and spend most of their time guarding various ruins.

The two elves, Regiereki and Regidorago, are somewhat different. Although they also appear in mythology, they rarely make an appearance. There have even been cases where people know the Three Pillars but do not recognize Regiereki and Regidorago.

Regigigas was formed from lightning and is not a material in itself. This is a feat that only Regigigas could accomplish.

As for Regidorago... he is even more special, because he should be considered the strongest of all the divine pillars created by Regigigas, but... he is incomplete!

Regidorago's body was only completed with the head finished, which consumed all the dragon crystals prepared by Regigigas, leaving it in this state. If one day a large number of dragon crystals can be collected and given to Regigigas to reforge it, perhaps a terrifyingly powerful Regidorago can be obtained.

But it is precisely because of this that Lin Xuan suspects that there may only be one Regidorago. After all, no matter how you look at it, Regigigas doesn't seem to have any scraps left to make other Regidoragos.

"That Reginald... in the land of dragons?"

"Yes, if the time comes, he will step in to stop the enemy."

Long Xing nodded. This was not a big secret to the alliance's higher-ups and the core members of the Yu Long family.

However, there was one thing that Ryusei didn't mention: Regidorago and the Royal Dragon Family were merely partners. The only one who could truly command his obedience was... the legendary Regigigas, the Pillar King.

However, that one has been asleep for many years without any news, and no one knows when he will wake up again. Perhaps... they will never see Regigigas awaken in their lifetime.

The two stood and gazed at the Reginald Lago statue for a while before Lin Xuan broke the silence.

"Just keep walking."

“Hmm.” Long Xing nodded. He had seen this statue countless times since he was a child, but every time he saw it, he still felt an indescribable sense of awe and his own insignificance.

That's the power of legendary Pokémon, even if it's just a statue.

Are there any other people on this island besides us?

"Yes, after all, people are needed to guard it, especially in some important areas, but most of the tribesmen are not here, and they can only come in on rare occasions."

Lin Xuan and Long Xing continued walking forward while chatting, but they didn't notice that as Lin Xuan passed by the Reginald Lago statue... the seven dots on it suddenly lit up, and then quickly dimmed.

However, whether or not such details were noticed is no longer important, because—

Boom!

The ground beneath Lin Xuan and Long Xing's feet suddenly began to shake violently, and for a moment they both lost their balance. They quickly moved to the side and held onto a tree trunk to maintain their balance.

"What's going on?!" Lin Xuan asked Long Xing beside her.

"I...I don't know!" Ryusei was also completely bewildered. Although there were Dragon-type Pokémon in Dragon Country that could use Earthquake, like Garchomp, it was impossible for them to cause such a big commotion.

In Lin Xuan and Long Xing's perception, the entire ground beneath their feet seemed to be shaking violently, as if some ferocious beast was about to break free from it.

Deep in the land of dragons, the dragon's lair

The dragon's lair was dark and gloomy, with only a few rays of light able to penetrate through the cracks in the rocks in the corner. In the corner, an old man was lying in a rocking chair, looking quite content.

The tremors had almost disappeared by the time they reached him, but he still immediately sensed something was wrong. He opened his eyes abruptly, his gaze filled with deep astonishment.

"Why are you awake?"

Without the slightest delay, he quickly took out a Poké Ball from his waist, and a Dragonite immediately appeared before him. The old man also displayed extraordinary physical abilities, flipping directly onto it.

"Quick, something seems to have happened!"

"Whoosh!"

Listening to the old man's words, Dragonite, with its feet firmly planted on the ground, also felt the ground tremor. It could roughly guess what was happening. Without hesitation, it immediately spread its wings and smashed the rock above its head.

Anyway, it's not the first time. At worst, we can just call over a few Tyranitar to make up for it.

Dragonite's speed is astonishing. It reached its maximum speed the moment it took off, and its body was enveloped in white light. In no time, it arrived at the location where Lin Xuan and the other person were.

Dragonite's appearance was truly eye-catching, impossible to ignore, and Ryusei knew who it was the moment he saw Dragonite.

While imitating Lin Xuan hugging the tree trunk, he asked the old man in the sky.

"Second Grandfather! What happened?!"

Riding on Dragonite, Long Youhua was furious when he heard Long Xing's words. These two little rascals dared to ask him questions. He wanted to know what was going on!

"past!"

Following Long Youhua's command to Dragonite, the two quickly arrived atop the Regidrago statue.

Under the watchful eyes of Lin Xuan and Long Xing, Long Youhua reached out and placed his hand on the statue, which was also shaking violently. After about ten seconds, the earthquake slowly stopped, but Long Youhua remained in that position.

Due to the angle and distance, Lin Xuan and Long Xing couldn't see Long Youhua's expression at this moment.

"Second Grandpa! What's wrong!"

Chapter 273 The Outcast

Long Xing shouted at Long Youhua, who was still in the air, and Long Youhua, after retracting his hand from the Reginald statue, flew directly down onto the Dragonite.

Before Lin Xuan and the others could ask anything, Long Youhua spoke first.

"You guys actually managed to cause such a commotion."

The tremor just now affected the entire Dragon Village. If you looked up now, you could see that you were surrounded by a large circle of Dragon-type Pokémon. As far as Lin Xuan could see, there were several Cygnus dragons sticking their heads out and looking at this place, and there were also quite a few Pokémon in the air.

"You must be Lin Xuan?" Long Youhua focused his gaze on Lin Xuan, seemingly with a special meaning in his eyes.

"Yes." Lin Xuan had just nodded when Long Xing continued, "..."

"Second Grandfather, what was that earthquake? Is our Dragon Village going to sink?"

"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all." Long Youhua glared at him, then turned his attention back to Lin Xuan.

"Do you have anything on you that is related to dragons? Like some stones or something."
