Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

The boy in front of me seems a bit dim-witted. Should I keep my distance?

But in the end, Lin Xuan came over and said those words directly.

"So, how about a match? Aren't you bored sitting here all day?"

Lin Xuan said excitedly. If it were any other Pokémon to teach, Lin Xuan would definitely not dare to say such a thing, but who could blame him when it was Manaphy in front of him?

Since we finally have this opportunity, we definitely need to make the most of it.

But Manaphy simply shook his head.

Bored? Impossible. Although I am indeed very bored, I am not so bored as to want to fight a brat.

If this guy were still as strong as he was the first time he came, Manaphy would actually be willing to give Lin Xuan some loving care. But now that he can sense danger from Eevee and Little Point, Manaphy just gives up.

This made Lin Xuan feel a little bored, but she couldn't say anything.

He simply looked at Manaphy and continued:

"So you should know why the advisor sent me here, right?"

Manaphy nodded directly, then gestured to Lin Xuan before leading him toward the island.

Lin Xuan followed along, but he kept talking, mainly because... he himself didn't know what he was supposed to be doing there!

"So what exactly did he do? The advisor disappeared without telling me anything. Can you give me a clue?"

Manaphy rolled her eyes. Although she knew that the old man was usually unreliable, this guy in front of her seemed to be just as unreliable.

Can something like this really be passed down through generations?

But it's too late to regret it now. Even he can't contact Luo Guan anymore, so getting him to bring in another helper is obviously impossible.

As for Lin Xuan, he could only make do with what he had.

Manaphy then began to explain to Lin Xuan.

The reason Lin Xuan was summoned here was because something had happened on Poseidon Island—or rather, something had happened in the surrounding waters.

"Mana?"

Manaphy pointed to the sky and asked Lin Xuan a question related to the Ultimate Space.

"You know there's an entrance up there, right?"

Lin Xuan nodded. It was nothing more than the entrance to the Ultimate Cave. Even if another powerful Ultimate Beast appeared now, he wouldn't be unable to deal with it.

But if an Ultra Beast that even Manaphy can't handle appears—it seems like I wouldn't be of much help.

"But it has nothing to do with that. It's just that the chaos caused by the Ultimate Cave has led to problems in the surrounding seas as well."

Lin Xuan still remembered the last time she and Long Xing were in danger.

A powerful Dream Demon suddenly appeared. If the Alliance hadn't arrived in time, the consequences could have been unimaginable.

That dream monster escaped from another world.

Of course, not ultimate space.

But it was precisely because of that fluctuation in the ultimate space that the barrier between the two worlds weakened, allowing that guy to successfully come to this world.

It can only be said that Lin Xuan and his group were unlucky, because this kind of situation might only happen once every few years, and they just happened to encounter it.

Moreover, Manaphy usually sleeps in this area, so if anything happens, he will definitely be the first to show himself.

However, on that occasion, Manaphy was away on some business, which is why no abnormality was detected.

And this time it's actually similar; the instability in the ultimate space directly affects this world.

So, what are the consequences?

"It's nothing, I just almost woke up a big guy."

Manaphy waved his hand casually and then spoke, while Lin Xuan remained silent for a moment before continuing to ask:

"That big guy you're talking about—it wouldn't happen to be Kyogre, would it?"

The only guy Lin Xuan could think of who would be sleeping around here was Kyogre.

Manaphy nodded; he wasn't really concerned about the matter.

He has a good relationship with Kyogre; after all, he is the prince of the sea!

Kyogre is the creator of the ocean, so it's a huge win for me to have him as my older brother, right?

"If the relationship between the two of you is really that good—you probably wouldn't care so much about this, would you?"

Lin Xuan was somewhat suspicious, while Manaphy turned his face away, as if Lin Xuan had seen through his lie.

Yes, Manaphy and Georgka's relationship is alright, but it's only alright.

It's the kind of game where you casually say hello when you're bored, and Kyogre might respond.

But in special circumstances, no one can help you.

Manaphy still remembers something from many years ago, when Kyogre and Groudon were fighting again. He was just watching from the sidelines when Kyogre used a tsunami to sweep him away.

That's right. Although it is a legendary Pokémon, it is not much different from ordinary Pokémon in front of the strongest tier of legendary Pokémon such as Kyogre and Groudon.

Not to mention that he himself is the floor for teaching Pokémon. If it were someone like Regigigas, they could probably rely on their powerful speed to maneuver around him.

However, Manaphy was no match for Kyogre's power. Manaphy's home ground was in the sea, but that was also Kyogre's home ground.

Aside from when battling Groudon, Kyogre also exhibits a kind of "morning grumpiness" during the period when it wakes up but isn't fully awake.

If I had dared to stand next to those two guys and make a fuss back then, I would definitely have been slapped away.

Furthermore, the tsunami that will almost certainly be triggered after Kyogre awakens will also have a significant impact on his current environment.

Of course, there is another reason, which is that Manaphy and humans have gotten along relatively well in the last few hundred years, especially the old man.

Although they seemed to look down on each other while talking, Manaphy knew that if Kyogre woke up naturally, that would be fine, but if he was woken up by some special reason, the resulting tsunami would be quite deadly to human society.

So—consider it a small favor.

"I didn't expect you to be so kind!"

After listening, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh, which made Manaphy quite unhappy.

Unexpected? What do you mean by that?

If it weren't for that stinky old man, I wouldn't have been willing to help!

But despite saying that, he still took Lin Xuan to a familiar place.

"Is this...the lake from before?"

Lin Xuan had some impression of this place. This area could basically be considered the central region of Poseidon Island. When he came here before, he obtained a lot of good things from Manaphy.

Like the flames of a molten bird and... Uxie's bathwater.

Although it sounds a bit perverted, Lin Xuan can only say... even though it's bathwater, it's really useful!

The reason Manaphy brought Lin Xuan to this place again this time was clearly because he also had something he wanted to give Lin Xuan, which was—

"this is for you."

Manaphy tossed a deep blue gemstone toward Lin Xuan, who caught it and immediately sensed a special aura emanating from it.

It seemed to be a kind of—very powerful life energy, but also somewhat different.

"This is the life energy of this planet."

Manaphy spoke directly, saying that if you were to count them, this planet could also be considered a life form, only it lacked self-awareness. Perhaps that was the creator god's original intention.

However, it still possesses powerful life energy, and what Kyogre and Groudon fight over every time they wake up is actually these very things.

This kind of thing is very useful even to them.

"You're giving me something this important?"

Lin Xuan had originally intended to just toss it around for fun, but upon hearing how valuable it was, she immediately hugged it tightly, earning another eye roll from Manaphy.

"Who said it was for you? This is for you to take to Kyogre!"

Then Manaphy began to explain.

There was still some time before Kyogre was supposed to wake up from its slumber, but the anomaly at Ultra Hole caused it to happen sooner.

In this situation, the only way to bring Kyogre back to its normal dormant state is clearly through this.

While it could soothe the sleeping Kyogre to some extent, Lin Xuan still had a question in his mind.

"Why do you want me to go? Can't you go yourself?"

This is what Lin Xuan found strange: Kyogre is sleeping underwater, beneath the island Lin Xuan and his friends had visited before.

Logically speaking, Manaphy would be a more suitable candidate for that location, so why bring it up with me?

When she got to this point, Manaphy scratched her head a little embarrassedly, as if she didn't really want to talk about it, but after Lin Xuan urged her repeatedly, she finally told the truth.

"Because I went to look for him when he was asleep last time, and I accidentally woke him up and almost got beaten to death. Now my presence is probably on his blacklist for now~"

Manaphy was also helpless, as he didn't know that Kyogre was asleep at the time, and only sensed Kyogre's presence from afar.

This was also because Kyogre had only been asleep for a short time at that time, and his presence in the outside world had not yet disappeared.

Then, just as I fell asleep, I was woken up by Manaphy suddenly coming in.
