Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Dandan?"

[It shouldn't be poisonous, right?]

Little Dot looked at the colorful mushroom in front of him and thought it looked strange no matter how he looked at it.

"Sweat~"

Xiao Xi and Xiaomi shook their heads together. Their job was to search, but how would they know if it was poisonous?

"Dandan?"

【How about you try it? 】

Little Dot first placed the mushroom in front of Eevee, but only received a glare from Eevee in return. Then Eevee simply shoved the mushroom into Baby's hand.

"Boy!"

It's up to you!

Ibrahimovic patted Poison Baby on the shoulder like an older brother, "Isn't this an excellent choice for testing poison?"

Then Poison Baby stared blankly at the mushroom in its hand for a moment, then looked at the encouraging looks from Little Spot and Eevee, and finally ate the mushroom in one bite.

Lin Xuan watched from the side. After all, Poison Baby was a Poison-type Pokémon and couldn't be poisoned. Besides, if everything here was so dangerous, the League couldn't possibly not give any warnings. If they accidentally ate one of them, the League would be heartbroken.

After all, those who can come here are the elite of the elite, and will definitely be the backbone of the alliance.

However, many of the tree fruits and mushrooms that Xiaoxi and Xiaomi just picked up were things that even Lin Xuan had never seen before. They were most likely specialties of this world. It's just unknown whether these specialties are edible.

Soon, Poison Baby finished the mushroom in his hand. He even smacked his lips twice and nodded, at least he seemed to think it tasted good.

"Baby~"

It's pretty delicious!

Hearing Poison Baby's words, Eevee stopped worrying and used Gallade on the other side to clean the mushroom with Water Blade, then threw it into its stomach. But then Poison Baby added a sentence:

"Baby, baby!"

[There aren't enough toxins; we're not replenishing them enough!]

"Pfft~"

Eevee, who had just taken a bite, immediately spat out the mushroom. Couldn't you have told me this sooner?!

Poison Baby quickly tried everything. Being a Poison-type Pokémon, it was quite perceptive in this regard and soon picked out all the non-poisonous foods.

Quite by chance, of all the mushrooms and berries that Little West had picked up, only the one that Eevee had just eaten was poisonous. Although the amount of toxin was so small, it was unlikely to have any effect on Eevee.

So in the end, all those mushrooms were eaten by Poison Baby. It's good that they're poisonous! He even complained that the poison wasn't strong enough.

"But why haven't we encountered any Pokémon along the way?"

Lin Xuan ate the roasted mushrooms that Xiaodian had made. Although he had never been a big fan of this kind of food, he had no choice but to eat it anyway.

They did encounter some Pokémon along the way, but they were few in number and quite strong, similar to when they first arrived. This made Lin Xuan wonder if he had gone to the wrong place.

I wonder what the power distribution of Pokémon in the Path of the Champion is like, and whether, like in many games, the Pokémon become stronger as you progress.

But at least for now, there's no clue.

Knowing there was food available, Lin Xuan and her group weren't in a rush. At least they wouldn't starve, though the food wasn't very tasty. Lin Xuan felt she preferred compressed biscuits to roasted mushrooms...

As a modern person, I really can't live without salt and MSG!

Lin Xuan ate grilled mushrooms and drank water whenever her mouth got dry, while Gallade kept using Water Blade to condense water into the air for Lin Xuan, which was rather speechless.

Have I been using the water jet knife in the wrong way lately?

Lying to the side, Gyarados looked at Lin Xuan with some resentment, because he could clearly do this too! One sip of its water cannon could provide enough water for Lin Xuan and the others to drink for half a year.

It wasn't that Lin Xuan had any prejudice against Gyarados, but rather that she was prejudiced against the Hydro Pump move.

If you were a Pokémon like Blastoise, that would be one thing, since you can spray water from your turret. But this water comes out of your mouth... Lin Xuan was a little resistant.

However, it's fine for bathing, I can try it later.

While Lin Xuan was leisurely eating mushrooms, Qin Guan was still sitting in his office outside.

"Why are there so many documents today?!"

Qin Guan sat in his chair, looking very dissatisfied, and said to Dou Ming beside him, to which Dou Ming simply replied calmly:

"It's because you've been missing for a while now. Although I can do most of the work for you, there are still quite a few that you need to do yourself."

"So why don't you just take care of everything for me!?"

"President!"

Dou Ming slammed his hand on the table, and Qin Guan could only laugh it off and wave his hand.

"Alright, alright, I know. So tell me about Lin Xuan's situation. Logically speaking, that guy should be at the foot of the mountain by now. No, at that kid's speed, he's probably already quite a distance up the mountain, but it's impossible for him to have reached the top. There's absolutely no way he's making any progress now."

Qin Guan knew Lin Xuan quite well, knowing that this guy liked to slack off. Especially since the resources inside the Champion's Road were not scarce, even if he brought in less stuff, it wouldn't have much of an impact. This made it even easier for Lin Xuan to slack off.

"Hmm... I'll go take a look."

Dou Ming nodded upon hearing Qin Guan's words and took out his tablet, but his expression quickly turned strange.

Qin Guan also noticed the change in Dou Ming's expression.

"What's wrong? Is there some problem with that kid?"

"Nothing went wrong, except... he didn't seem to choose to go up the mountain, but instead headed towards the ruins."

Upon hearing this, Qin Guan paused for a moment, holding his pen, but quickly resumed writing furiously, a smile returning to his face.

"That kid really knows how to surprise people! Generally speaking, people who enter the Champion's Road for the first time usually head towards the top of the mountain, right?"

"We don't know the reason. We only know Lin Xuan's general location. As for why... only he himself probably knows."

Dou Ming shook his head, while Qin Guan continued:

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the ruins there... seem to suit him quite well. Let's see if he can give me a new surprise."

"President, over the years, it seems that no one but you has been able to gain that person's approval."

Upon hearing Dou Ming's words, Qin Guan's face showed a hint of irritation.

"Don't talk about whether you approve or not. That guy was beaten into submission by me. It was those people who spoiled him. He just stayed in the ruins all day doing nothing, and he even expected us to give him tributes. How could I not beat him up?"

Seeing Qin Guan say these words, Dou Ming was speechless for a moment. The only one who could subdue that person was probably the one in front of him.

"But that's also why he might not be too welcoming to Lin Xuan!"

"That's Lin Xuan's own business."

------

The night passed quickly, and Lin Xuan opened her eyes from her meditation, stretched, and woke up Poison Baby, who was still sleeping beside her...

"Wake up! The tent is broken!"

After being woken up by Lin Xuan, Poison Baby rubbed his eyes and looked around in a daze. Where was the tent broken?

"Look at your crotch."

Lin Xuan calmly pointed to the spot where Poison Baby had just slept, and sure enough, a small pit had been corroded there.

As it turns out, drooling in your sleep is not a good habit, and Lin Xuan's poor tent couldn't withstand the corrosion after just one night.

This is still considered a case where Baby is restrained from toxicity; it's just that a little bit accidentally leaked out while he was asleep.

However, Lin Xuan frowned and thought about it. This situation didn't seem to have happened before!

It doesn't refer to the baby drooling in its sleep, which is normal, but rather to the situation where venom is leaking out.

Lin Xuan guessed that this situation was probably because Poison Baby's energy reserves were almost fully charged. It seems that Poison Baby's evolution is not far away!

With this in mind, Lin Xuan packed up the tent under the anxious gaze of Poison Baby. Well... let's just take it as good news.

Chapter 439 Trial

As Lin Xuan and his group moved forward, Lin Xuan began to have doubts about the choices made by Eevee and Little Point.

Because there's absolutely nothing along the way! Even the number of Pokémon is decreasing, and their strength isn't showing any signs of increasing. According to the usual game strategy guides, this is clearly a case of taking the wrong path!

"So it was a good thing you chose to trust me before, we would have been up the mountain by now!"

Lin Xuan complained to Xiao Dian and Yi Bu, but the two little guys completely ignored him. Compared to Lin Xuan's game strategy experience, they preferred to believe in metaphysics.

Unfortunately, Lin Xuan held a completely different view on this matter... and the same goes for his dowsing rod.

However, Lin Xuan and his group did not come away empty-handed; as they moved forward, they discovered some unusual things.

"I think if we turn back now, we can still cut our losses in time."

Lin Xuan held his head in his hands, holding a dowsing rod in one hand, but Xiao Dian, who had scouted ahead, immediately proved him wrong.

"Dandan!"

There looks like there's a temple-like structure up ahead!

"Temple?"

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment. Could it be that he had just set a flag and then suddenly contradicted himself?
