Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

They even stole such an important Olympic flame.

Lin Xuan knew the importance of Phoenix King's flames without even thinking.

It's far more important than any so-called firebird flame; in fact, to put it bluntly, the two are not even in the same league.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down as much as possible, and asked:

"So what exactly happened? This can't be right!"

It really shouldn't be like this. Putting aside where the Olympic flame is placed, this is the Alliance headquarters, and the security measures are absolutely top-notch. There is also another equally crucial reason—Lin Xuan's advisor is still here.

"Where is the advisor? He must know about this, right?"

I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling whenever I think of Lin Xuan, the advisor. After being tricked so many times, I feel like everything is related to him.

Although the chances of this premonition being correct are indeed very high.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ming simply shook his head.

"The president only made a brief appearance at the opening ceremony that day and left quickly afterward, so... he's not with the alliance right now either."

Lin Xuan was speechless. Was he not even there for such an important moment? What was that old man doing now?

"So this matter... shouldn't have anything to do with us, right?"

Lin Xuan sighed and said, "No matter what, they are just players. Although they are quite strong, even surpassing many of the older generation of master players, this matter should ultimately be handled by the league headquarters."

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Zhong Mingyi nodded in agreement.

"That's right, this matter really has nothing to do with us. The league's message is that we should continue to focus on the game, and leave the rest to them."

"What about the stolen Olympic flame?"

Lin Xuan scratched his head. The sacred flame had to be taken out every day. If it was lost, wouldn't it be very conspicuous if it was gone tomorrow?

"There's no need to worry about that. It seems the League has already gotten some fire from a Moltres. Although the effect is much worse, most people probably won't be able to tell the difference, and those who can tell won't say anything about it."

Zhong Ming smiled and said, "Indeed, it's just a ball of fire anyway, at least it looks the same."

"So how do you know about this?"

This was what Lin Xuan was most curious about. If it was about the position of captain, why did this guy tell him?

"Currently, very few people know this news. Even among the seeded teams, only teams from five countries know about it, and only our team captains know about it."

Zhong Mingyi said this. As for which five teams they were, there was no need to say more. They were the famous five benefactors, and also the five core countries of the alliance.

"So why do I need to know?"

Lin Xuan rubbed his temples. He would rather not know about this. After all, knowing more is not necessarily a good thing. On the contrary, knowing less might be better.

For example, if Lin Xuan didn't know about this, she might have happily continued training and then gone straight to sleep after training.

"The reason the alliance told us this was so that they could use our strength in a critical moment."

Zhong Ming spoke with great confidence. In recent years, with the increased efforts of the league in training young trainers, their strength has gradually improved, and they have even surpassed those veteran trainers more quickly.

Lin Xuan and her team, who were able to participate in the World Championships, are representatives.

Without exaggeration, Lin Xuan and his team can now be considered the pillars of the League of Trainers.

If we're talking about those who could surpass them in strength, we could probably only find them among the older generation of top experts.

But such people are rare in any country.

Even at the Alliance headquarters... but honestly, does the Alliance headquarters really have that much power?

No, although the president is only the president of the China Alliance branch, his actual power may be much greater than that of the president at the Alliance headquarters.

After all, who can tell Qin Guan how to do things?

Although the situation has changed, Lin Xuan felt that it wasn't much different from the world situation before she transmigrated here.

The strength of the alliance headquarters is actually relatively weak, at least not strong.

This is because before this, the alliance headquarters was more of a symbol, just a signboard.

But what's the point of this sign?

It's really hard to say.

"So what does the alliance need us to do?"

Lin Xuan asked directly, "Since the alliance has said this, it must have its own purpose. When Qin Guan and the others are not around, they can only target these people."

"Actually, it's nothing. The main thing is to keep an eye on things during this period. If you encounter anything strange, be sure to report it immediately, because the Alliance headquarters island has been completely closed recently."

Even without this incident, the Alliance headquarters has been in a near-closed state recently, making it very difficult to get to the island.

Now it's like they've found a new excuse to raise the level of security here again, making it much more difficult to enter or leave.

However, the area here is simply too vast, and even the alliance cannot completely oversee it; it can only cover the vast majority of the region.

So it's still not safe enough.

“Wasn’t Manaphy here before?”

Lin Xuan suddenly remembered this guy, because she had seen him at the opening ceremony but hadn't gone up to confront him yet. However, after the opening ceremony ended, the guy had vanished without a trace.

Lin Xuan's question seemed to leave Zhong Mingyi feeling helpless.

"It's strange from the Alliance's perspective. Manaphy agreed to appear at both the opening and closing ceremonies, but after the opening ceremony, he made an excuse to leave, forcing the Alliance to make new arrangements. I wonder what Manaphy is thinking?"

Lin Xuan and Eevee on her shoulder exchanged a glance. The reason Manaphy left... it couldn't be because of her, could it?

Lin Xuan comforted herself in her heart, but it was impossible, after all, Manaphy was a legendary Pokémon, it was impossible for it to leave because of something like this.

Lin Xuan comforted herself and Ibrahimovic in her heart, but she also knew that at least this matter could not be told to the League.

After Lin Xuan listened to Zhong Mingyi's words, the seal on the dazed king was quickly broken, and Zhong Mingyi also left quickly, otherwise the two of them staying here would easily arouse suspicion.

Lin Xuan returned to her room but didn't continue training. Instead, she started thinking about what had just happened.

How could the Olympic flame be stolen? Who could possibly do something like that?

He's incredibly bold, and his strength must be considerable as well.

Lin Xuan can basically confirm only these two points now.

This guy is very strong, but he seems to be a little slow on the uptake.

Why did they choose this time when they could have just waited until after the match to steal it?

A thought flashed through Lin Xuan's mind: could it be because—only at this time could that guy have a suitable reason to enter this place?

If we follow this line of thinking, it seems that those contestants are the most suspicious.

But Lin Xuan quickly shook her head again.

That's not quite right, because the players who can come here are the best in their respective countries. If they want to come here, it's basically not much effort at all.

But Lin Xuan quickly thought of another point: if he were to steal at this time, it would seem to be the most suitable time to confuse the situation.

Because there are so many contestants on the island, even if someone is suspected, it's impossible to confirm it all at once.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan subconsciously narrowed down the suspect to all the contestants.

Because basically only these players have this level of skill.

Because everyone except the contestants undergoes a strict search upon entry, it is virtually impossible to bring in unregistered Pokémon.

If you register a Pokémon that is too powerful, it is easy to arouse suspicion.

So now there are basically only two possibilities.

One of them was one of these players who used the World Championship as an opportunity to achieve their own goals.

Of course, there is also a second possibility: that someone entered here through other means.

However, the possibility is very low, because if they can get in this way, there is no need to create trouble for themselves at this time.

Therefore, the former is more likely.

Although Lin Xuan had thought of this, she did not tell Zhong Mingyi.

One reason is that they currently have no evidence, and another is that the league has most likely considered this point as well, which is why they only informed the teams from five countries about this matter.

Because among these five countries' teams, the least likely to have a traitor, and also basically the strongest and most reliable.

If Lin Xuan were in charge of the alliance, he would probably make the same choice.

"Ibrahimovic, keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals around you in the coming days."

Lin Xuan instructed Ibu, adding that there were also some small snacks.

"Although you haven't absorbed Ho-Oh's flames, you should still have some sense of the essence of those legendary Pokémon-level flames, right?"

Lin Xuan asked this question, and Xiao Dian naturally nodded. It wasn't a waste that he absorbed the flames of the Firebird.

Actually, on the day of the opening ceremony, when Lin Xuan said that it was the flame of the firebird, he felt a little strange.

Because that flame was much stronger than the one he had absorbed before, and its aura was completely different.

He mentioned it to Lin Xuan at the time, but it was just a casual chat over tea, and he didn't take it seriously.

Perhaps Moltres has become stronger recently? Or perhaps the League has its own plans.

In short, I hadn't paid much attention to either person or Pokémon, but I never expected it to come in handy this time.
