Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

After learning about Sakaki's terms of exchange, Lin Xuan realized that it was impossible for him to return to his own world in a short period of time.

Trying to snatch it from Sakaki by force? Even if Lin Xuan came, let alone the Dodo, they probably wouldn't be able to do it.

"This is troublesome. So how exactly do we find that guy?"

Lin Xuan scratched his head. Giovanni sent him to Kalos for a Pokémon, and to find that Pokémon, the first thing he needed to do was find someone.

AZ!

A figure who is legendary even in the history of Pokémon.

Lin Xuan didn't know why Sakaki knew about AZ. After all, the topic of immortality... was it just a legend in any world?

AZ was the king of the Carlos region three thousand years ago.

During the war in Carlos 3000 years ago, AZ lost his beloved Flower Leaf and invented the ultimate weapon in an attempt to revive her.

Although Flareie successfully returned to the world, Az, consumed by grief, became obsessed with revenge against both sides of the war, destroying everything with the ultimate weapon. Due to the ultimate weapon's influence, Az gained eternal life. After learning that the ultimate weapon was powered by the sacrifice of countless Pokémon, Flareie was deeply disappointed in Az and left him.

That's right, this guy has lived for three thousand years!

Lin Xuan didn't know where Sakaki got this information from, but it was probably true that anyone would be interested in AZ.

Immortality! It should be said that even Lin Xuan couldn't help but be tempted when he learned about this.

Although people often talk about the loneliness and isolation of immortals, how many people would give up such an opportunity when it is presented to them?

"Sometimes I don't even know why I took on this mission, or if it's because I myself have developed a desire for immortality."

As Lin Xuan and Xiao Dian walked out of the airport in Miare City, she spoke in a voice only they could hear.

"Dandan?"

Isn't this good?

Xiao Dian found it a bit strange that Lin Xuan was so concerned about this. Wouldn't immortality be better? That way, Lin Xuan could stay with her forever! Wouldn't that be a good thing?

"Yes, it should be a good thing if it really succeeds."

At the same time, if Lin Xuan could really meet that legendary immortal, he would also like to ask him what it feels like to live forever.

AZ developed the ultimate weapon with the aim of destroying the world, but the power that allows people to live forever, which appeared by accident during the process, is what is even more interesting.

When it comes to power, neither Kyogre nor Groudon is weak.

Sakaki had no interest in such destructive power; what he wanted was immortality! Infinite time!

But is this kind of power... really possible?

However, to say something very unfortunate, Lin Xuan is basically a casual viewer when it comes to the later parts of the Pokémon anime, especially the Kalos storyline, which he is least familiar with. He only watched the anime on and off many years ago and has long forgotten most of it.

The Rockets' strength in the Carlos region is very weak, but perhaps because of this, Giovanni was able to completely hand over this part of their strength to Lin Xuan.

At worst, they can just give up; these losses are still manageable for the Rockets.

After all, Giovanni's original plan in the Carlos region was only for the ultimate weapon.

Lin Xuan first found himself a place to stay. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably be staying in Miare City for a long time.

According to the information Giovanni received, Miare City was the location where AZ last appeared.

Although Lin Xuan didn't know where Giovanni got this information from, she felt that even if she asked, he definitely wouldn't tell her... Wait, why is it that based on his previous behavior, Giovanni might actually tell her?

Lin Xuan regretted it a little. Anyway, there was no harm in asking, and she should have asked first.

Thanks to Sakaki's initial funding, Lin Xuan's life became quite comfortable.

Anyway, all expenses will be reimbursed by Boss Sakagi, so Lin Xuan doesn't need to be polite. The hotels must be five-star!

Lin Xuan lay on the large bed in the hotel and slowly made the call.

As for the Rockets' trio...

"It's all Boss Giovanni's fault. He insisted that we stay here and wait for that guy. Otherwise, we might have already gotten Pikachu by now, meow!"

Meow Meow was washing the dishes while complaining. Originally, they were supposed to continue their plan to ambush that brat and steal his Pokémon today, but they were delayed by Boss Giovanni's orders and could only continue working.

"Stop talking so much and hurry up. I just don't know who that guy Boss Sakaki sent... Hey, is there a phone call?"

Kojiro placed a pile of plates next to Meow Meow, who looked utterly dejected. At the same time, Kojiro's cell phone suddenly rang.

The commotion startled Kojiro so much that he almost dropped the plate he was holding, and then he realized that his phone had been snatched away by someone.

"Hey! We're busy working right now! We can talk about it later!"

Musashi snatched the phone from Kojiro's pocket and yelled, attracting the attention of all the guests outside.

"Hehehe, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Kojiro apologized as he snatched his phone back, only to find that the call had already been disconnected.

"Tch, I've checked, it wasn't Boss Sakaki's call!"

Musashi's expression even appeared quite proud.

Am I not smart? I even glanced at the phone to make sure it wasn't Boss Sakaki's before hanging up.

But Kojiro's face at this moment had the expression of someone visiting a grave.

"But, but, this sounds like a call from that cadre at headquarters."

"Eh? Really?"

Kojiro stammered, and Musashi, who had been standing opposite him with a smug expression, was stunned.

As for Lin Xuan, the victim at this time—

"Can't Sakaki assign me some reliable people?!"

Lin Xuan buried her head in the pillow and slammed her head into the hotel bed with a rocket headbutt.

As for Little Dot and Eevee, they didn't care about these things at all; they had already dragged a family of rats and a four-jawed needle dragon to watch TV.

Lin Xuan glanced at it briefly; it seemed to be news from a couple of days ago about a Pokémon suddenly going berserk in Lumiose City, but it had already been resolved, so Lin Xuan didn't look at it closely.

As for the phone call, Musashi hung up on it directly. Lin Xuan really wants to complain to Sakaki and ask if he can get someone else to take his place.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan's phone rang a minute later, and she answered it with a dark expression.

"Where are you now?"

"Hey, us?"

At that moment, Kojiro was in a corner answering Lin Xuan's call. He was prepared to be scolded, but he didn't expect Lin Xuan to ask this question directly—

Do they think scolding them isn't enough? Does this mean the new executive sent by Boss Sakaki has a terrible temper?

Oh no, oh no, it's all Musashi's fault, he just hung up the phone.

"Okay, just tell me the location, I'll go there myself."

Lin Xuan spoke directly, and Kojiro could only nervously tell Lin Xuan his location. After Lin Xuan hung up the phone, he quickly pulled Musashi and Meow Meow aside to discuss countermeasures.

"Waaaaah! Something terrible has happened! That new officer looks like he has a bad temper. Musashi just hung up on him, meow! He's definitely coming to get revenge, meow!"

The cat was running around in the corner, completely panicked.

I was originally hoping that this mission would get me transferred back to headquarters, so I could go back to Boss Sakaki's side and kick that cat boss away...

Then, as if she had come up with a good idea, Meow Meow moved closer to Kojiro.

"If you ask me, we should just tell that new guy that Musashi did everything, and it has nothing to do with us, meow!"

As soon as Meow Meow finished speaking, Musashi picked her up.

"Putting aside the facts, were you completely without fault for not stopping me at the time?"

The two of them and Meow Meow looked at each other and then sighed together.

"We're doomed!" ×3

"Speaking of which...we don't even know what the people Boss Sakaki sent this time look like!"

About half an hour has passed, and the person who contacted them earlier should have arrived by now, but there's still no sign of them.

"Is there any need to say more? He'll definitely look like a fierce demon! He'll probably have a long beard and a long scar on his face!"

Kojiro and Meow Meow were engrossed in their little imaginations, unaware that Lin Xuan was sitting right next to them eating.

There was no other way; he was genuinely hungry. He figured he might as well have a meal at the restaurant where Musashi and the others worked and check on these three guys. And... he certainly didn't disappoint.

He sat there for a full twenty minutes, and those three idiots didn't even notice him.

And am I... really that fierce and menacing?

Do I look fierce?

Lin Xuan asked Xiao Dian, who glanced at him and then used its paw to pull at the corner of its mouth, making a funny face that successfully made Lin Xuan laugh.

Chapter 560 Team Flare

Lin Xuan ate her meal leisurely, appearing completely unhurried.

In contrast, the Rockets trio, who seemed to be relaxing after finishing their work, became very anxious at this moment.
