Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Buy?"

[Are we really going to do this?]

There was still some doubt in Ibrahimovic's tone. After all, this kind of thing seemed... a bit inappropriate, didn't it?

Besides, when the two of them tried to tamper with the draw before, Yu Xian warned them against cheating, right? Now, Lin Xuan seems like a completely different person.

So Eevee's gaze towards Lin Xuan started to become a little strange. After living together for so long, Lin Xuan could tell at a glance what Eevee was thinking, even though Eevee had only been looking at Lin Xuan without saying a word since earlier.

Lin Xuan slapped Ibu on the head and then said decisively:

"I haven't been possessed. Don't think about such abnormal things. This isn't a fantasy world!"

Lin Xuan gritted her teeth and said to Yi Bu, "I think it's because this guy has been reading too many novels lately. Should I stop letting him read so many novels?"

Ibu hugged his head and glanced at Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with resentment. "Wasn't I just reminding you? Why did you hit me?"

Then Lin Xuan simply ignored Eevee and continued speaking to Gallade and the others as usual:

"So the time is set for tonight. Anyway, it was the advisor who told me to steal it. If there are any problems, I'll just have Senior Yu Xian go find him."

Lin Xuan thought to himself, "That's right, what I want to do is the plan that Qin Guan just mentioned, which Lin Xuan found extremely unreliable—to steal the Pokémon from Yu Xian's possession! Then secretly replace them, wouldn't that be enough?"

Although it was still somewhat difficult to implement, Lin Xuan now understood that this was a trap set by Qin Guan, and there was absolutely no chance of success if she went through it normally.

In terms of understanding Pokémon, Yu Xian was many times better than Lin Xuan. Coupled with the team's advantage in countering Pokémon, Lin Xuan simply had no chance of winning. This was something that luck and skill could not compensate for.

It's just a simple kill mechanic!

Therefore, Lin Xuan did not hesitate to choose the same approach Qin Guan had taken before, and decided to cheat instead of trying to pass the game normally.

It's unknown whether Qin Guan was deeply moved when he learned that Lin Xuan had undergone a profound enlightenment after hearing his words. In any case, for Lin Xuan, Qin Guan's words had been a great guide, leading to his complete understanding.

Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic, after hearing Lin Xuan's words, also understood. So it was Qin Guan who was behind it all! No wonder Lin Xuan's attitude had changed so drastically.

Although Qin Guan is an elder, Lin Xuan's mentor, and the leader of the league, Ibu still wants to remind Lin Xuan at this time:

"Buy?"

Could this be a scam?

Ibrahimovic was a little worried. That old guy never came here with anything good. This time, he seemed to be here to "give Lin Xuan some pointers," but who knew if it would be another new trap?

So Ibrahimovic was a little worried, because Qin Guan's reputation in Lin Xuan's team was completely ruined, and none of the youngsters could still believe what he said.

After listening to Ibrahimovic's advice, Lin Xuan glanced over with a hint of helplessness:

"So do you have a better idea?"

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ibu, who had been quite enthusiastic, instantly fell silent, as if he really had no other choice!

Seeing Eevee in this state, Lin Xuan knew she couldn't count on her anymore, and sighed.

"That won't work. There's no better idea than this. But let's not do it today. Let's wait a couple of days until the trial is about to begin. In the meantime... let's go catch some spare Pokémon!"

Since the goal is to exchange the Pokémon that Yu Xian has, we naturally need Pokémon to use for the exchange, but Lin Xuan doesn't have any! So we still need to catch some to make up the difference.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan currently has some spare Poké Balls, even though he doesn't have many others. He just catches them to make up the numbers, and releases them when the time comes. There shouldn't be any problem, right?

Lin Xuan pondered in his heart, feeling increasingly uneasy. He found Qin Guan's attitude rather strange, but he couldn't think of a better solution at the moment.

So—a clever plan! This is still the only option!

Lin Xuan apologized to Yu Xian in her heart, while silently thinking: If you have any grievances, just go find the advisor later, since it was his idea anyway.

Over the next two days, Lin Xuan frequently left under the pretext of finding training locations, mainly to capture wild Pokémon.

This process wasn't easy, after all, Lin Xuan wasn't the kind of Pokémon hunter who wanted to just catch two Pokémon to get by, as that would be a bit embarrassing.

So Lin Xuan chose to use the same entrapment tactic as before, instructing Eevee and the others to suppress their aura and wait for the wild Pokémon to attack them.

Believe it or not, Lin Xuan actually managed to catch quite a few Pokémon in the end, to the point that he didn't have enough Poké Balls left.

On the last day, Lin Xuan looked at the dozen or so Poké Balls laid out on the ground and murmured to himself:

"This should be enough, right?"

This room is filled with wild Pokémon that have come to attack Lin Xuan, so Lin Xuan has no more reservations about taking action.

Fortunately, the Poké Ball can be shrunk when not in use, to about the size of a finger, making it very convenient to carry.

Although Lin Xuan didn't bring anything else, she was still a trainer, so she brought more than a dozen Poké Balls. Who knew that even that wouldn't be enough?

Lin Xuan looked at the dozen or so Poké Balls in front of him and felt that there were still too few, but—he didn't have any other Poké Balls on hand. Should he throw Xiao Dian's Poké Balls over to make up the number?

Hmm~ Lin Xuan thought about it and realized that it might not be a bad idea. If Yu Xian were to choose him, it wouldn't be a question of Pokémon strength, but rather whether or not there would be any Pokémon at all.

As Lin Xuan thought to himself, he looked down at the dozen or so Poké Balls, picked them up one by one, and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's settled then. The rest is up to fate!"

Seeing Lin Xuan so diligently preparing to cheat while maintaining a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, even Xiao Dian and Yi Bu couldn't stand it anymore and declared that they were ashamed to be associated with Lin Xuan!

"Then your allowance will be cancelled after you go back, and you'll have to work to support yourselves from now on."

Lin Xuan carefully put away the Poké Balls one by one, then glanced sideways at Little Dot and Eevee. The two little guys immediately backed down, expressing their unconditional support for all of Lin Xuan's decisions.

In fact, Lin Xuan had figured out the rules of this trial over this period of time.

That is—there are no rules!

The things Lin Xuan and the others couldn't do before were entirely Yu Xian's own words. But while Yu Xian said they couldn't cheat in the lottery, he didn't say they couldn't cheat in other areas, did he?

As long as it wasn't mentioned, it's in accordance with the rules! Besides, Qin Guan said that's how he won, so why can't I do it too?

With this air of superiority, Lin Xuan led Xiao Dian and the others back to the wooden house.

Recently, Yu Xian hasn't been paying much attention to Lin Xuan's situation, because Lin Xuan said she was going out for training, which is a normal situation.

After all, this is the road to the championship, and even without other factors interfering, it is a very suitable place for training.

In the past few days, Yu Xian himself still hasn't had time to deal with Lin Xuan. Although Sableye and the others have left, they still left behind a lot of trouble, which Yu Xian needs to handle one by one. In Yu Xian's view, the conflicts between some Pokémon in the underground world are not trivial matters.

Some issues that have been dragging on for a while now need to be resolved.

So Lin Xuan also discovered that Yu Xian had been living in the underground world for the past few days. That's right, Yu Xian also had a residence there, which was simpler than the one above, just a smaller wooden hut, but Yu Xian didn't care at all.

Upon realizing this, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up; this was the perfect opportunity!

Night fell quickly, and Lin Xuan saw that it was already late at night, and only the two of them remained in the small wooden house.

Even the Mr. Mime followed Yu Xian to the underground world.

So this could be considered the best opportunity for Lin Xuan, but this opportunity—

"Didn't it come a little too easily?"

Lin Xuan stroked his chin and thought to himself, "Based on my previous experience of being tricked by Qin Guan, I have a feeling that there's something fishy going on here!"

"Buyi~"

So, how about we just go back to sleep?

Eevee yawned; she didn't seem to care too much about winning or losing, but Lin Xuan slapped Eevee on the head.

"Wake up, we're counting on you guys in a bit!"

Then Lin Xuan immediately turned her gaze to Gallade, who was standing to the side.

Gallade, which can teleport, is naturally the best choice. Lin Xuan had previously considered having Xiao Xi and Xiaomi dig a hole inside.

But after thinking about it, I felt that teleportation was still the best option. Besides, no matter how good Xiaoxi and Xiaomi's digging skills were, there would still be some noise and traces left behind.

It will take a lot of time to remove the traces, and if the traces are not removed, it will be easy to be discovered. If Yu Xian finds out that his Pokémon has been switched, it will not be as effective as before.

So Lin Xuan threw all the Poké Balls to Gallade in one go.

Gallade looked slightly embarrassed and then looked at Lin Xuan.

I've never done anything like this in my entire life!

Lin Xuan patted Gallade on the shoulder to comfort him:

"It's alright. Just think about it. All of this was taught to you by Master. Who is Master? He's the Alliance President! What does that mean? It means that this is the only solution to break through this barrier!"

Lin Xuan said this to Gallade, and after thinking about it, Gallade also felt that it didn't seem to make no mistake, since the origin of all this was Qin Guan.

Seeing that Gallade had regained some fighting spirit, Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Then go!"

However, before going in, Lin Xuan still had Ibu use its psychic powers to explore the inside.

They were even quite cautious; Lin Xuan himself took action.

The special power that Lin Xuan and Eevee possess, which combines aura and psychic abilities, is fundamentally different from psychic powers. As long as they don't want to be discovered and keep themselves well hidden, basically no Pokémon can detect them. Lin Xuan is confident in this.

So Eevee used its psychic powers to scan the room and found nothing wrong; all the Poké Balls Yu Xian had used before were inside.

These aren't actually Yu Xian's main Pokémon; they're just ones he bred and would occasionally provide for assessments.

He naturally carries his own main Pokémon with him; he wouldn't leave them here.

After surveying the situation inside, both Eevee and the human breathed a sigh of relief.

No problem, all the Poké Balls are inside!

Lin Xuan and Gallade exchanged a glance. Gallade, having identified its goal, did not hesitate. The layout inside was directly transmitted to it through Eevee's psychic powers, and once inside, it only needed to quickly replace its Poké Ball.
