Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Fine, just tell me what's on your mind."

Similar to my previous conversation with Areta, the two of us spoke different languages, yet we were able to communicate smoothly. From a third-person perspective, it was quite amazing.

"Then I'll just say it directly, it actually happened after the match."

Jonar cleared his throat, finally about to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Lin Xuan.

"No, why are you coming to me now about what happened after the match?"

This was the thing Lin Xuan couldn't understand the most, and then Jonar pointed to a group of people not far away.

It seems like everyone from Carlos's team, except for Irene, was there. Irene was training, and they seemed to have come out for a meal.

"I was just passing by when I went out to eat, so I thought I'd stop by. It should be fine, right?"

Lin Xuan: ...

What you're saying makes it seem like there's absolutely no problem with it.

"Actually, a secret realm suddenly appeared in our Carlos."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan looked up and gave him a strange look.

Secret realms exist in almost every country, because they are essentially special alternate dimensions. Some have analyzed that some secret realms may have been part of Earth a long time ago, but for some unknown reason they separated.

However, some of these secret realms do not actually belong to this world; they simply have entrances within this world.

For example, there's the secret realm near Jinhui Martial Arts Academy, but there are differences between secret realms. The most stable one is the one mentioned at the beginning.

Because it was part of this world from the beginning, it is quite stable and will not have any problems unless there are special circumstances.

However, the latter relies solely on a single connection, and sometimes the connection may temporarily disappear due to shifts in the world, or even... disappear permanently.

For people with Lin Xuan's strength, they might be able to re-open the gap on their own—as long as the distance they've fallen behind isn't too great.

However, for ordinary trainers, this is particularly fatal, since they don't have this ability and can basically only wait to die in such a situation.

After all, the passage between the two worlds has disappeared. How are you going to leave?

The secret realm of Jinhui Dojo doesn't have this problem. Although it didn't originate from this world, it's unusually stable, and nothing has happened over the years.

Even if there really is a situation—Lin Xuan felt that with One-Strike Bear's strength, directly shattering space with a single punch wouldn't be a problem.

However, secret realms generally have one advantage: they contain a lot of resources.

Lin Xuan has the absolute right to speak on this matter, having gained many benefits in that secret realm.

So this raises a question—why look for yourself?

Whether it's China, the United States, or any other country, the first thing they do upon discovering a secret realm is to block the news and then monopolize the entire realm. This is the first time they've proactively told others about it.

Is your perspective really that broad?

Don't underestimate the resources in the secret realm. The Jin Hui Dojo looks like it has nothing but two towers, largely because it has a long history and has been almost completely developed.

Newly discovered secret realms like this one contain an astonishing amount of resources.

Jonar knew Lin Xuan's doubts and said with a wry smile:

"I know what you're thinking. You're just thinking, why would I tell you if there really is such a good thing, right?"

Lin Xuan nodded, that must be the point. Even if a group of people were to go in, Carlos had Irene on his side, whose strength was no less than his own.

"Let me tell you the truth. It's not that we don't want to monopolize this secret realm. Although it's said to be newly discovered, it's been around for three years. But in these three years, we, Carlos, have basically gained nothing from it."

Jonar shook his head, looking somewhat distressed.

"why?"

"That secret realm is very special, unlike ordinary secret realms."

"no the same?"

"Yes, that world—has no Pokémon."

Lin Xuan: ? ? ?

Lin Xuan froze on the spot, her thoughts drifting back to the world before she transmigrated, a world without Pokémon.

"But there are no humans here either."

Lin Xuan: ...

Can you please speak clearly in one go?

"Isn't that a godforsaken place?"

Lin Xuan said irritably, "There are no Pokémon and no humans, what good things could there be in a place like that?"

"No, someone has tested that place, and there are a lot of relevant resources inside, but... Pokémon can't get in."

This is the most crucial point: Pokémon cannot enter that secret realm.

"Of course, it's not absolute. For example, your Little Point or Magearna, or even those Pokémon that have truly reached the legendary level, can go in if they really want to. But the price is that the space of that world will be disturbed, which could very well cause that secret realm to move away directly, or even... collapse."

Jonal said seriously.

“A place like this…”

"Not only Pokémon, but even normal humans can't get in."

"Normal human beings?"

Lin Xuan astutely grasped the key point in Jonar's words and asked directly.

“That’s right, only those with abilities like you and me can go in.”

"Damn! This is the Pokémon world, not a fantasy world, right?"

Lin Xuan immediately complained, "Doesn't this kind of place fit the main theme of the Pokémon world?"

This is the standard script for fantasy novels, right? But even if it's a novel, it's written in Elven script! Doesn't this seem a bit out of place?

"Well... our researchers aren't entirely sure what's going on either. It seems like someone set it up specifically, unless a stronger force breaks those rules."

Jonar shrugged.

"Have you ever been inside?"

"No, they're worried about the danger inside. Even though we're ability users, we're still just human. As trainers, we're still very weak after losing our Pokémon, and they don't want to take any risks."

"So you're asking me to take risks, right?"

Lin Xuan said irritably, then turned to leave, but was stopped by Jonar.

"Don't rush! I'm inviting you to join the team. It's not just us; I've also invited Misaka Kotomi from the Neon Team, as well as quite a few other special ability users. It shouldn't be a problem."

Misaka Kotomi is basically the strongest ability user in this World Championship besides Lin Xuan and Jonar.

He was just unlucky; after encountering Irene, he got completely destroyed by a cheater.

Of course, Jonah wasn't very lucky either, as he was defeated twice.

"And then we'll all be wiped out together inside, right?"

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes; he wasn't going back for something like this anyway.

"There should be legendary Pokémon inside, or even places where they lived, leaving behind a lot of things. You're not interested, are you?"

Jonar still seemed somewhat unwilling to give up, but Lin Xuan was determined to leave, and simply waved her hand casually.

"Sorry, my life is more important."

Chapter 626 Good children shouldn't swear.

"Are you sure it's okay to be this relaxed before the competition?"

Bai Yao looked at Lin Xuan beside her, who was still looking relaxed. Just yesterday, he was seriously preparing for the upcoming competition and training, but now it seemed like he had just started to give up.

No, how did you manage to achieve such a big change in just one day? Isn't that a bit much?

"You don't understand. I don't train the day before the most important competition, mainly to ensure the quality of the competition the next day."

Lin Xuan said in a serious tone, and Bai Yao almost believed him. Then she glanced at the little doll on Lin Xuan's shoulder that seemed to be laughing, and immediately realized that Lin Xuan was just fooling her. She immediately kicked him, but Lin Xuan dodged it.

"Be serious."

"Actually, I'm just a bit tired, and I want to relax a bit before the finals."

Lin Xuan held his head and said that he had been under the most pressure these past few days. The physical burden was secondary, after all, he was a wave guide user and his physical condition was what it was.

The most important thing is the psychological burden. Before Zhong Mingyi collapsed, he was basically the only one who could share the pressure with him. Chu Jingyun's strength was still somewhat insufficient, and Zhang Shouqing liked to slack off.

If Lin Xuan were the kind of person who could completely give up, that would be fine, but unfortunately, he couldn't be as thorough as Zhang Shouqing, and instead, he suffered a bit.

Especially after Zhong Mingyi also lost, Lin Xuan can only rely on herself, and Lin Xuan is under a lot of pressure now.

Lin Xuan never liked to show these things. Even Zhong Mingyi, who thought he knew Lin Xuan well, was fooled by Lin Xuan's outward appearance and actually thought that this guy was very relaxed.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a small competition, right? You can easily win it."

Upon hearing this, Xiaodian immediately shook her head. "It wasn't me! I didn't say anything like that. Don't pin this on me!"

Little Point is under a lot of pressure too! His opponent is Magearna! The previous Genesect already put a lot of pressure on him, and now there's an even stronger Magearna coming. How could Little Point possibly have enough confidence?

"Are you kidding me? I'm actually nervous. Do I look nervous to you?"
