Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Can I declare that this has nothing to do with me? You can hold a press conference, that would be fine too," Lin Xuan said with a serious expression.

"You're just burying your head in the sand. Do you think everyone else is stupid? You just went in, and all four secret realms suddenly ran into problems." Zhong Ming sighed, but thankfully, it wasn't his place to take responsibility for this.

"What exactly are these changes?"

"The original energy concentration has decreased rapidly. Although it still has a slight boost effect on Psychic Pokémon, it is less than one-tenth of what it used to be, and it may even decrease further over time."

This is not an easy matter.

"The situation at the Kawafu Dojo is fine; the league has provided a lot of compensation. What surprised me the most is the United States; there hasn't been a single word from them. It seems the chairman had already communicated with them long ago?"

Zhong Mingyi guessed.

"Hehe, so it's nothing serious then, isn't it? You were making it sound so serious before?"

Zhong Mingyi was silent for a moment before speaking, seemingly with a hint of vengeance.

"The alliance will reimburse all the expenses for this trip. If you want, you can even bring one or two relatives along! That's all."

After saying that, Zhong Mingyi hung up the phone immediately, not even giving Lin Xuan a moment to retort.

Just as Zhong Ming hung up the phone, Lin Xuan's room door opened.

"Galdorei has already prepared the meal, don't just lie there!"

"The way you're talking almost makes me think you cooked this." Lin Xuan rolled her eyes at Bai Yao.

"I did help out, after all!" Bai Yao seemed a little unconvinced by Lin Xuan's words. She leaned against the door and pointed to the kitchen, but her voice was inexplicably softer, as if she was worried that Gallade inside would hear her.

"What did you do to help Gallade?"

"I've turned on the light!"

Lin Xuan: ...

Lin Xuan really didn't know what to say, but at least this guy didn't actually rush into the kitchen to cook, which meant that today's meal was still edible.

"I'm going to Chuanfu City tomorrow, do you want to come along and have some fun?"

"You don't have another task that you need my help with, do you?"

Bai Yao cast a suspicious glance at Lin Xuan. This kind of unsolicited flattery was completely impossible with Lin Xuan! So there must be some special situation, or he was trying to trick her again.

"No, I might have some things to do, but I mainly want to go out and have some fun. So, do you want to go or not?"

This is also true. In Lin Xuan's view, the situation at the Dawn Group is definitely not something that can be resolved in a short time. Even if they could figure out the source of that dream power, it might not be of much help, not to mention that they don't even know what this stone is right now.

Lin Xuan had actually considered asking the people in Metropolis, since that thing was very likely related to Ultra Necrozma, and the Alliance was definitely no match for them in this area of ​​research.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Xuan decided to put the idea aside for the time being. In any case, the relationship between the League and the Ultimate Survey Team was not that good, especially since Ultimate Necroz was involved.

Of course, there was one more thing Lin Xuan needed to do before setting off.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"You mean, this thing allows Ursaring to evolve on the night of a full moon?"

Dr. Sun Siming held up the only peat block he had ever used and spoke to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan threw this thing at him as soon as she came in, saying it was the item that could evolve the CircoV. If anyone else had said that, he would have thought it was just a joke or a prank, but since it was Lin Xuan who said it…

"Are you sure?" Sun Siming asked Lin Xuan seriously, while putting the peat blocks into a small box for preservation. In fact, the peat blocks hadn't been preserved very well over this period of time, and the surface had even dried out a bit. Lin Xuan thought it might be due to the environment.

So if we hand it over to Dr. Sun Siming and his team sooner, we might be able to find a similar preservation environment.

"That's right, I did see a Ursaring evolved Pokémon there, and I think we should call it—Ursulli.

Lin Xuan said casually, but for now, a name isn't the most important thing.

"If there's only one... that'll be a bit tricky."

Dr. Sun Siming seemed to have a headache. His thoughts were the same as Lin Xuan's before. If he had two peat blocks, he could try to evolve them first, but he only had one at the moment.

This means that once they evolve, they may not be able to find a second evolution item for a short period of time.

No, it's not just a short time, but it's very likely that we really won't be able to find it.

After all, Lin Xuan found this peat block in the ultimate space, and it was only because of the special environment that it has been preserved to this day.

Based on the characteristics that peat blocks have shown so far, preserving them is not so simple. Evolution stones like Water Stones, even if just thrown into a corner, may not change much even after decades.

But peat blocks are different. Lin Xuan thinks this is one of the reasons why peat blocks have not been found before. Even if some peat blocks were left over from the past due to environmental changes, they may have been destroyed because of this.

"Could we try to use this peat block as a sample to restore the research institute? Although that peat block has lost most of its activity, it seems to have retained some of it. I feel it's worth a try."

Lin Xuan offered her suggestions.

"It's really the only option right now." Dr. Sun Siming nodded. He only had this one peat block on hand, and he couldn't bear to use it no matter what.

But speaking of which, Dr. Sun Siming actually has another question he wants to ask Lin Xuan.

Why do you always seem to encounter these kinds of things?

Lin Xuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Um... should I say this is good luck or bad luck?"

Lin Xuan scratched his head. You could say he was lucky, since he could encounter Luna Bear just by entering any Ultimate Space. But to say he was lucky... who in normal circumstances would want to wander into a place like the Ultimate Space for no reason? He was dragged in anyway, wasn't he?

"Besides this, there's something else I'd like to show you."

Lin Xuan then presented the second surprise of the day, a pure crystal from the secret realm, but was quickly met with a critical hit from Dr. Sun Siming.

"Hmm... I understand that you want me to analyze everything you see, but is it possible that my main research area is Pokémon evolution, and I don't understand any of this random stuff you bring me?"

While complaining to Lin Xuan, Dr. Sun Siming still took the pure crystal and placed it on a device not far away to test it.

While waiting for the test results, Dr. Sun Siming continued chatting with Lin Xuan. Most of the conversation revolved around the research institute's progress during this period. Xiao Dian and Yi Bu, who were never interested in such things, simply went to the side and started eating instant noodles.

The test results came out quickly, in less than ten minutes, but not through the normal procedure.

The device started sounding an alarm halfway through the detection, forcing Sun Siming to quickly remove it from the device.

"What is this?"

"If I knew, would I still be bringing him to you?" Lin Xuan spread his hands, seemingly helpless.

He brought it to Dr. Sun Siming because he didn't know the specific details of the device. Just as Dr. Sun Siming was complaining, the device that was just alarming suddenly stopped sounding and started emitting smoke.

Dr. Sun Siming: ...

"This thing is very expensive. I went through a lot of trouble to get one from the Alliance, and it broke down after only a short time?"

Dr. Sun Siming approached with a pained expression, but he didn't know anything about repairs. However, he could roughly understand the cause from the data displayed earlier.

"There are too many energy fluctuations here. If they were to erupt completely... are you trying to blow up my entire research institute?"

Dr. Sun Siming said irritably.

"How could that be? I never imagined your device would be so unreliable!"

"Is this what you got from that secret realm?"

“Yes, to be precise, there should be four secret realms. I think they are most likely related to the legendary Ultimate Necrozma,” Lin Xuan said with considerable certainty.

“Necrozma…” Dr. Sun Siming fell into deep thought, then took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Xuan.

"Go find this person. He was one of my juniors back then. He's in Alola now. If you want to talk about Ultra Necrozma, you're more reliable to ask him than the Ultra Survey Team."

Chapter 654 A Room?

"So it was the two of you who came together!"

Li Ru glanced at Lin Xuan and Bai Yao standing in front of her. She had originally thought that only Lin Xuan had come this time.

"Okay, let's treat it as a vacation!"

After stretching, Lin Xuan said that Jinhui City is considered a big city in China, and there are many attractions to visit around it. Although Lin Xuan has been cultivating here for quite some time, he has not really explored the surrounding area.

The only place I visited that could be considered a tourist attraction was the lake where I encountered Gyarados—which was Magikarp before it evolved at that time.

However, Lin Xuan always felt that there might be something hidden at Ya Ya Lake, but he never had the time to go there. This time, perhaps he could go and take a look.

"If you're here for tourism, there might be some unexpected events that you don't like."

Li Ru glanced at Bai Yao, who was yawning next to Lin Xuan, and pointed to the area behind Lin Xuan.

"Hahahaha! Didn't expect that, did you? It's me again! You disappeared for so long and came back without giving me a single message. That's really not very nice of you!"

Lin Xuan didn't turn around but slapped his forehead, because he could tell who the guy behind him was just by the voice.

Dragon Star!

"Why are you here?!"

Before Lin Xuan could speak, Bai Yao spoke for her, and Lin Xuan could only nod in agreement.

"Hey, why do you two look like you're not welcoming me?" Long Xing was completely confused about the situation, while Li Ru simply turned her head away.

Long Xing, Lin Xuan, and she are all around the same age. They met during the first college league. So, although she can't compare to the friendship between Lin Xuan and Long Xing, they are still friends who have each other's contact information.

"Hehe, answer my question first, why are you here?"

"Hmm...it seems your information is a little outdated! Where have you been all this time? Didn't you know a new secret realm has appeared near Kawafu City? It seems there are even rare Dragon-type Pokémon there!"

"You should be the last person with any say in this matter, right? Do you really think you're lacking Dragon-type Pokémon?"
