Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the four-jawed needle dragon also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't really want to dig a hole in the first place, mainly because... this place was just too dirty!

That is to say, the rats didn't care about this at all, and even seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Lin Xuan tossed aside what he was holding. He had tried digging a bit earlier and then formed a firm belief in himself.

Specialization is key; this kind of thing should definitely be left to professional Pokémon!

About ten minutes later, although it was only ten minutes, Lin Xuan and his group had practically turned the swamp upside down before news came from the rats.

As expected, when it comes to luck and finding treasures, it really comes down to relying on a family of rats!

Xiao Su was holding a large lump of mud in his hand, but it was drier. It was quite remarkable that it had remained intact for so long in the swamp.

It's definitely not something ordinary.

The first thing Xiao Su did after picking it up was to put it in her mouth, as if she wanted to bite it to see what it was.

For hamsters, the simplest way to test something is to take a bite!

Fortunately, Xiao Xi quickly appeared beside her, snatched the peat block from Xiao Su's hand, and gave her a stern lecture.

How can you eat this?

And could you please stop swallowing all sorts of random things every time?

Lin Xuan smiled wryly and patted Xiao Su's head, then... his hands were covered in mud, but it was okay. Lin Xuan quickly took the thing that looked like a peat block.

"Is this what peat moss is?"

Lin Xuan tilted his head and said that it was indeed somewhat similar to the scrap peat block he had picked up before, and Lin Xuan could also feel that there was indeed some kind of special power hidden inside, which seemed to be able to be activated only by specific Pokémon.

Most importantly, Lin Xuan felt that this thing was indeed quite similar to the peat blocks she had seen in the game before.

"This should be it. Let's look around and see if we can find anything else."

Lin Xuan had Gyarados rinse the peat moss with water, but since it was a solid piece, water couldn't wash it off.

Although it looks loose and flimsy, it is actually very sturdy and cannot be broken apart.

They've probably searched about half of the swamp so far. According to Lin Xuan's estimate, based on probability, they should be able to find one more, right?

Unfortunately, even after searching the entire swamp, all they found was the single peat block in Lin Xuan's hand.

"Only one?"

Lin Xuan frowned slightly; having only one peat block would be a problem.

If there were two, we could send them to the PhD student for research, and there would be room for trial and error. But now that there's only one, we have to be careful.

Unless the peat blocks that were previously detected as having lost their effectiveness can be restored?

Lin Xuan shook her head. That didn't sound possible at all! She had never heard of evolution stones like Fire Stones and Awakening Stones being able to recover after they expired.

Actually, these evolution stones all have a shelf life, it's just that the time is relatively long.

Ordinary evolution stones may only have a shelf life of a few decades. If they exceed this time, their effectiveness may decrease or even become completely ineffective.

Even the top-tier evolution stones, like the Awakening Stone used by Gallade, will gradually lose their power and decrease in level if left for too long, such as hundreds of years, and eventually become just ordinary stones.

Therefore, these stones were actually most suitable for use when they were first excavated.

Of course, the most suitable preservation environment for these evolution stones has now been discovered. As long as they are preserved properly, they can be kept for tens of thousands of years without any problems.

If Lin Xuan didn't want to use the Awakening Stone to evolve Gallade so early, she could have gotten a container to put the Awakening Stone in.

"Fine, one it is."

Lin Xuan looked at the peat block in his hand, sighed, and said, "We should be content. After all, this kind of thing isn't easy to find. In all these years on Earth, only Lin Xuan has found one that has lost its effectiveness."

It's already quite an achievement to find one here.

It's a pity about that Moon Bear. If it were still in the early stages of evolution, Lin Xuan could have taken it with him.

At that time, although Moon Bear's injuries must have been quite severe, they were definitely not beyond treatment, and it could be healed quickly if taken back.

And it could also help Lin Xuan and his team with their research, but now...

To be honest, even bringing back the carcass of a Moon Bear would be valuable, but Lin Xuan still couldn't bring himself to do it.

This is, after all, his hometown, so let him sleep here.

After having this thought, Lin Xuan put the peat block away again and looked towards a remote location in this world.

Eevee had already explored the area, and it was where Guzzlord lived. After thinking about it, Lin Xuan decided to go and take a look.

Anyway, that guy can't beat me, so I'll go over and see if I can find out anything.

One minute later.

The Gluttonous King, who was originally planning to take another nap, glanced at the distant sky, then yawned, a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

Why did that guy come over again? Can't he just let me get some sleep?

"Sorry, sorry, we really just have a few questions we want to ask. We'll leave this world immediately after we finish."

Lin Xuan scratched his head and said, "This is the first time I've met such a docile Gluttonous King. I'm a little unaccustomed to it. What should I do?"

The Gluttonous King glanced at Lin Xuan, but ultimately nodded.

He might be a little lazy, but he wasn't stupid. The two guys accompanying this human, that Eevee and that Momonga, seemed to be stronger than him... It was better to be a little cowardly.

"Do you know where you can still find humans like me?"

Lin Xuan asked directly, "Whether it's heading towards the Ultimate Metropolis or finding the Ultimate Hole that leads back to Earth, either way is fine. Just find one!"

But after thinking about it, Lin Xuan still reminded him.

"Not the kind of indigenous people living in a small world."

Lin Xuan was worried that the other party would create some kind of paper envoy, and then when they went over, they would find that the paper envoy was actually controlling a sword. If that happened, Lin Xuan would probably want to curse.

After hearing Lin Xuan's question, the Gluttonous King fell into deep thought. Such a place... seems to exist.

Upon hearing that the Devouring King had seen a human like himself, Lin Xuan was overjoyed.

Then the Gluttonous King pointed in a direction.

[I remember it should be that direction, because I never changed direction in the Ultimate Space, but... I don't know how long it will take to get there, because I just slept the whole way~]

Lin Xuan thought to himself that this gluttonous king was indeed extraordinary. If it were an ordinary gluttonous king, it should have been eating its way through the world, but this one had been sleeping its way through the world...

How long did you drift at that time?

I'm not sure, but at least ten years.

Lin Xuan: ...

Lin Xuan comforted herself, thinking that no matter what, the Gluttonous King was still sleeping when he came, so it would definitely take a little longer for her to get there.

Based on the King of Devouring Food's rough estimate, Lin Xuan felt that it would only take him a month at most to get there.

Moreover, based on the description of the Gluttonous King, Lin Xuan felt that it should be the Ultimate Metropolis.

Without the sun, all light comes from technology, and there are indeed many humans who look similar to Lin Xuan living there, so the Gluttonous King still has an impression of them.

He even remembered that those guys had tried to attack him, apparently because they saw him walk straight past without stopping, so they attacked him directly.

Lin Xuan thought that the people in the Ultimate Metropolis probably thought that the Gluttonous King simply hadn't discovered it, but they didn't expect that this guy was just lazy.

But with this guy's strength, Lin Xuan felt that even if he went there, he could handle him.

Although there are few powerful Pokémon in Ultra Metropolis, and the area mainly focuses on technology, they should not be underestimated.

If they couldn't even handle a Gluttonous King whose strength had just reached the five-star level, they would have been wiped out countless times by now.

In fact, the Alliance has always believed that Metropolis must possess very powerful technological weapons, but they have never shown them to them.

Lin Xuan agreed with this point, having witnessed the ultimate weapon before!

That's the real ultimate weapon, a weapon capable of destroying the world. Lin Xuan thinks that even legendary Pokémon, like Ho-Oh or Lugia, would be seriously injured if hit by a single ultimate weapon.

This is a terrifying weapon capable of directly destroying an entire region.

After deciding on the direction, Lin Xuan did not set off immediately. After all, it was not easy to find a world here. What if she could not see it again on the way?

So Lin Xuan had Xiao Dian and Yi Bu find a lot of berries, then use their skills to freeze them all. They could thaw them when they wanted to eat them, so that even if they were kept for a long time, they wouldn't spoil.

After doing all this, a day had passed. Lin Xuan originally wanted to leave directly, but on a whim, she thought of going to see the Moon Bear and wondering how it was doing.

But when Lin Xuan entered the cave, she saw the Moon Bear lying in the same spot, its eyes never opening again.

The boxes on the ground that originally contained energy cubes were now quite empty, about two-thirds of them had been eaten, with a few remaining inside.

Lin Xuan watched this scene in silence for a moment. Since coming to this world, he had always been exposed to warm and harmonious scenes with Pokémon. This scene of life and death separation seemed to be the first time for him.

"Xiao Xi and Xiaomi, go dig a hole."

Lin Xuan spoke to the three mice, who didn't say anything but dug a hole in the ground. Eevee then used his psychic powers to lift the bear and slowly put it in.

Just as Ibu was about to smooth out the crater, Lin Xuan stopped him.

"Wait a minute, let's put this in too."

Lin Xuan covered up the energy cubes and boxes that the Moonbear had left over and put them back inside. Finally, she cleaned up the scene as if they had never been there.

"Let's go, we should go back now, otherwise people will worry."

Lin Xuan thought about it and realized that she really did have to go through a disappearance plot every now and then. Could she make it a little more original?
