Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"The use of that kind of malevolent energy is indeed quite good. With the addition of the now discovered Mega Evolution, Gyarados's power can be brought to its limit, but it cannot be relied on too much. Ultimately, it can only play a supporting role."

Lin Xuan and Yu Xian got along very well. Yu Xian liked this young man quite a bit, but felt it was a bit of a pity. If they had met a few years earlier, he might have even considered taking him on as a disciple.

But that's impossible now. First, I don't have the energy, and second—Lin Xuan wouldn't be willing, since the little guy's most important talent is clearly not in breeding.

Just as Lin Xuan and Yu Xian were chatting, the Mr. Mime suddenly rushed in, not even having time to put down the broom in his hand, and barged directly into Yu Xian's room.

The Mr. Mime doesn't usually behave like this, so—

"What happened?"

"Momo!"

"Mr. Mime said hurriedly."

[The little diamonds and the bewitching eyes below are fighting!]

Yu Xian immediately couldn't sit still. They were fine before, just had some minor disagreements, how did it escalate into a fight?

Seeing Yu Xian go over, Lin Xuan followed, hoping to be of some help.

Is Chapter 464 a little too weak?

Following the same passage, Lin Xuan and Yu Xian went straight down.

Lin Xuan had actually heard about the conflict between the Soul Hook family and the Little Diamond family before, since these two groups could be considered natural enemies.

The Soul-Snatching Eye even preys on the entire family of Small Diamonds; it's no wonder trouble would arise if they were put together.

However, when Lin Xuan and Yu Xian arrived underground, they found that the situation here seemed to be more complicated than they had imagined. The main reason was that it seemed that not only Little Diamond and Sableye were involved in this matter, but also—the Garchomp family.

This made Lin Xuan look directly at Yu Xian, who was standing to the side. How come the Garchomp and the others went in?

Once we got down there, the lineups on both sides were quite eye-catching: inside was the Soul Hook family, and outside was the Little Diamond family.

Logically speaking, the attributes of Little Diamond are Rock and Fairy, while Sable Eyes is Ghost and Poison.

Ghost and Poison are a very good type combination, and it had no weaknesses even before Generation VI. But now it only has one weakness, which is Fairy!

Therefore, in terms of attributes, Scratches are completely superior to Sableye. So why are Scratches the ones being preyed upon by the Sableye family?

As for another problem that Lin Xuan couldn't understand, it was the Garchomp and the others standing with Little Diamond at this moment, who could be considered external reinforcements that Little Diamond and the others had found.

After recalling for a moment, Lin Xuan understood the reason—Gallugris really liked shiny things, but unlike Sableye, he didn't eat them; he just displayed them.

So if a Garchomp sees Sableye hunting Diamond Shards in the wild, it will chase him away immediately and then secretly take the Diamond Shards home itself.

Lin Xuan didn't know why these two, one a Dark-type and the other a Dragon-type, were so fond of Fairy-type diamonds.

Even after evolving, the urge to collect shiny things lessened, but it couldn't be completely avoided. Lin Xuan thought that it might be for this bizarre reason that Garchomp stood on Diamond's side.

"Garuda and the others have always had a good relationship with Scramble."

Yu Xian said with a headache, which also confirmed Lin Xuan's guess.

Before this, Yu Xian valued the friendly relationship between Sableye and Garchomp quite a bit. After all, if Sableye had any ulterior motives, Garchomp and the others could help prevent it. Who knew it would turn out like this?

The small diamonds and the alluring eye pattern were troublesome enough already, why are they adding to the chaos now!

So what exactly is the cause of this conflict?

"It's not really a reason, but rather that the accumulated conflicts have finally erupted today. It's also my fault. Although I've been suppressing the conflicts between the two sides for years, I haven't been able to resolve them, which makes the situation even more complicated now that they've surfaced."

Yu Xian sighed and said that although he was a breeder, he was not omnipotent in these aspects! He really didn't know how to deal with the problem between Little Diamond and Soul Hook Eye.

Even Lin Xuan, who was standing to the side, fell silent. It was an instinct for the Soul-Hooking Eye to prey on small diamonds, and it was almost impossible to change. The kind of situation where the protagonist could persuade the other side and at most the two sides would make up after a fight only existed in animation.

These are natural enemies! Don't you even know what a natural enemy is?!

Although Yu Xian kept blaming himself, Lin Xuan actually thought that the fact that he could suppress himself to this extent was already quite remarkable.

"So what was the trigger?"

Lin Xuan immediately asked, but before Yu Xian could speak, the Mr. Mime on the side began to explain to Lin Xuan. To be honest, she was the first to discover the problem. Originally, she just wanted to come down to find some tree fruit to eat before going to work. She even had the broom in her hand!

As soon as they landed, they discovered a large group of Pokémon fighting, which darkened the sky.

Because the sky here is maintained by Torkoal, a large number of Pokémon are now focused on this area, causing the intensity of sunlight to decrease.

Mr. Mime pointed to a small diamond in a corner. The small diamond was surrounded by a bunch of other small diamonds, and there was even a Garchomp next to it, as if everyone was protecting it.

Is that little diamond special?

Lin Xuan asked why that little diamond received such good treatment, with almost all the other little diamonds revolving around her.

"The division of labor within the Little Diamond Clan is quite clear. This Little Diamond is the princess of this generation. Although she is relatively weak, everyone still takes good care of her."

Lin Xuan could tell at a glance that there were indeed quite a few small diamonds here, at least dozens, or even close to three digits. With this lineup plus the Garchomp on one side, they should be extremely powerful in combat. However—there were even more Sableye on the other side!

It was only through sheer numbers that Sableye was able to suppress the Diamond Smash and Garchomp family on the other side.

It can't be called suppression, after all, Sableye is still quite afraid of those Garchomps. Even if he could win in a fight later, he would have to pay a very heavy price.

For a Pokémon like Diamondmist, such a large number could be considered a small "kingdom," and naturally, it would have a leader. The Diamondmist protected in the center is likely the next leader, at least that's how it appears now.

Lin Xuan glanced at the princess, who seemed to be trembling slightly as she hid among a pile of tiny diamonds, and shook her head. At least for now, she was far from being fully grown up.

"Why are there so many of the Soul Hook Eyes and Little Diamonds in the same family?"

This is a question that Lin Xuan doesn't understand. The number of other Pokémon here is relatively small, usually only a few to a dozen, but the Sableye and Sableye family has so many.

"Because they are the original inhabitants here, but I only found out about that later. They hid it quite well at first, and I didn't even notice it when I first arrived."

"How did you find out later?"

"One of my bewitching eyes is hungry."

Yu Xian stopped there, but Lin Xuan could roughly guess what would happen next: they would fight again, causing such a commotion that it alerted Yu Xian.

"What about just now?"

"There's one captivating eye that's been eyeing the little diamond princess."

Lin Xuan: ...

So that's the reason. No wonder the two sides are fighting. After all, the Soul-Eye not only wants to prey on small diamonds, but also wants to eat the princess directly. How can that be acceptable?

Lin Xuan glanced at Yu Xian, who was still having a headache, and frowned, because there was something he didn't know whether he should say.

“I know you’re probably thinking that these conflicts are actually caused by the Soul Reaper, so why don’t I drive them away?”

Yu Xian saw right through Lin Xuan's thoughts, and Lin Xuan could only nod awkwardly.

"In this matter... I actually don't know what to do."

At this moment, Yu Xian seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma.

"For Soul-Hook Eyes, preying on Little Diamonds is a matter of course. On the contrary, I am interfering in this matter. In addition, this place is the territory of Little Diamonds and Soul-Hook Eyes. To a certain extent, my building here can be considered as usurping their territory."

Lin Xuan understood Yu Xian's dilemma. As a Pokémon breeder, he dealt with Pokémon almost every day, which gave him a comprehensive understanding of the habits of various Pokémon.

From a rational perspective, he believes that there is nothing wrong with the Hookeye preying on small diamonds.

“But this approach won’t solve the problem. These two groups cannot possibly live peacefully and stably in the same place. You should know this better than I do.”

Lin Xuan looked at Yu Xian and said this. Did Yu Xian not know this? Actually, he did know, but he could only drag it out and suppress it, praying that no problems would arise.

Undeniably, he had done a good job with his previous work, providing Soul Reaper with a variety of foods and calming the two groups down for a while, but it was not a long-term solution.

With today's outburst, and this first instance, it's only a matter of time before a second and third occur.

Lin Xuan remained silent. After all, he was an outsider here, and he had said most of what he could. As for anything else, it was up to Yu Xian to decide.

While Lin Xuan and his group were discussing countermeasures, another fight was about to break out on the other side. Sableye made the first move, but was immediately stopped by a Garchomp, which pinned the attacking Sableye to the ground.

Seeing this, Yu Xian finally made a decision and then looked at Lin Xuan.

“You’re right, there’s really no possibility of peace between these two groups. My previous thinking was too naive.”

"Your efforts have not been in vain. At least over the years, it would have been impossible for anyone else to do it."

If Lin Xuan were to take over—he would probably first have Ibu and the others go up and beat up Sableye to make them behave, or else he would continue beating them.

After all, Lin Xuan didn't have that much psychological burden when it came to this kind of thing.

"Could I leave things here to you? After all... I still don't want to do it myself."

Yu Xian said with a wry smile, "It's a kind of escapism. I still choose to leave this problem to Lin Xuan. In my opinion, with Lin Xuan's strength, combined with these small diamonds and Garchomp, solving the Sableye problem will be no problem."

Even if something unexpected happens, he will keep an eye on things here. If a special situation arises, he will not stubbornly refuse to take action.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Lin Xuan readily agreed, but he hadn't considered teaming up with Little Diamond and the others, since he felt he could handle such a small matter on his own.

But just as Lin Xuan was about to throw Little Point and Eevee up, she realized an important problem—where was Little Point?

Lin Xuan glanced at Gallade to the side, and Gallade immediately understood. It teleported away from where it was, but reappeared two seconds later, holding a sleepy little dot in its hand.

"Dandan?"

He was still fast asleep on his bed when Gallade dragged him over. Can't you even call that a little bit of mouse rights?

Lin Xuan didn't intend to let Little Point and Eevee handle the battle alone; instead, he threw all the Poké Balls up into the air.

Tiny, Eevee, Gallade, Gyarados, a group of rats, and Naganadel—a rare group battle.
