Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

After Ibrahimovic shouted, he ran ahead to clear the way, and Lin Xuan followed closely behind into the factory.

The factory wasn't as dilapidated as Lin Xuan had imagined. He had envisioned it as a haunted house filled with abandoned tables, chairs, and tools that hadn't been dealt with for years, but it was actually empty. Apparently, everything had been moved away during the relocation, leaving nothing behind.

Only some traces in corners and against walls indicated that some Pokémon lived here. Lin Xuan shone the flashlight on those places and looked at them. They should be traces left by Rattata's grinding teeth.

Rattata's teeth keep growing, just like human fingernails, so they need to be worn down from time to time. Otherwise, if the teeth get too long, it will affect eating. There have been cases of Rattatas starving to death because they couldn't eat due to their teeth being too long.

"This is……"

Lin Xuan found several marks that didn't seem to be left by Rattata's Grinding Teeth; only a highly impactful attack could leave such marks. There were even burn marks from flames not far away.

There wasn't much dust accumulated on it, so it must have been recent, but since there was dust, it meant it hadn't just happened.

Based on the size of the impact marks, Lin Xuan guessed that these were the marks left by the Rattata during its fight with the police who captured it.

"It's not weak, but it should be easy to deal with if it's small."

After observing for a while, Lin Xuan got up and came to a conclusion, but the Lada had already been taken away, and the smaller one's disappearance obviously had nothing to do with him.

Ibrahimovic continued running forward until he reached a corner where what appeared to be a staircase had collapsed for some reason, though the original staircase could still be seen from the outside.

There was a small hole not far away. Lin Xuan shone a flashlight into it, but found nothing.

"Boy!"

When Eevee arrived, it called out to Lin Xuan and patted the collapsed area with its little paws, indicating to Lin Xuan that this was the last place where a faint scent remained.

"Smaller, are you there?!"

Lin Xuan called out to Xiaomian, and sure enough, soon after, there were some sparse noises, like the sound of small stones falling on the ground.

"Dandan!"

Then came a softer cry. Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Although she was buried underneath, at least she had been found, and the voice sounded strong and healthy, so it didn't seem like something was wrong.

"What did he say?"

Lin Xuan pointed to the ground beneath her feet and asked Eevee. Lin Xuan was human, so naturally she couldn't understand Pokémon language. She could usually understand what they meant because she had spent a lot of time with them and also because she could judge based on the two little guys' expressions and actions.

Now that Little Dot is buried underneath, even his voice is somewhat muffled because of the wall in between. Under these circumstances, he naturally can't hear anything and can only seek help from Ibu's translator.

Seeing this, Ibrahimovic immediately began gesturing to translate for the little one.

Lin Xuan quickly understood what Xiao Dian meant: he was hungry.

Lin Xuan was so angry she gritted her teeth. Is this how you say you're hungry? I was so worried about you, I ran out to find you without even eating, and you tell me you're hungry?

Okay, just wait and get ready for rice bowls. I promise you'll be full when you get home.

Lin Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile, but she didn't say what she was thinking directly, otherwise Xiao Dian would probably prefer to stay buried underground.

Ibrahimovic felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the strange smile on Lin Xuan's lips, because normally, whenever Lin Xuan showed that kind of expression, the less fortunate ones would not fare well.

Then she silently lowered her head and started digging, pretending she hadn't seen anything.

Xiaodian then explained why she couldn't get out: there was actually a huge stone slab under the hole, which covered the entire opening. While trapping Xiaodian, it also provided support, preventing the place from collapsing completely.

However, if Xiaodian tries to open the entrance from below, it will disrupt this balance. As for the upper wall, Xiaodian's strength is not enough to break it with a single blast.

So the best way is to clear it from the top. There's no rush for Xiaodian. While he was down there, he even had a good meal of the two energy cubes he was carrying.

Because he knew Lin Xuan would definitely come looking for him.

"Hey~ Ibu, time to get to work!"

Lin Xuan sighed and lowered his head. He was clearly the master, but why did he feel like he was serving these two masters every day?

After calling out to Eevee and getting ready to work, Eevee immediately rolled up its sleeves and started lifting stones. Eevee used its psychic powers to throw the stones off little by little.

It took Lin Xuan and Eevee almost an hour to finally clear everything off and throw it aside. Lin Xuan felt her fingers were a little numb from all the moving. After all, she doesn't usually do any heavy work, and the most she's done lately has been climbing the school building.

"Ha~ Finally done~"

After wiping the sweat from his brow with his arm, Lin Xuan sighed and said.

As for Eevee, it had already collapsed from exhaustion. While using psychic powers to work is convenient and quick, it still consumes too much physical strength. This was even after Eevee had already eaten an energy cube and rested.

Otherwise, after using superpowers for so long, their eyes would have been rolling around in circles by now. Treat this as special training.

"That's it. If you still can't get out, you can stay here tonight. I'll find someone to rescue you tomorrow. Ibu and I are going home to sleep now."

Lin Xuan clapped his hands, found a suitable-sized rock to sit on, and said to the little dot below.

"Buyi~"

Exhausted, Ibu nodded in agreement, saying that all she wanted to do now was go home, drink milk, and eat.

"Dan dan dan!"

Xiao Dian's unhurried voice came over, and Lin Xuan glanced at the great translator Yi Bu... Never mind, the translator is exhausted, and even if she were to say something, Lin Xuan probably wouldn't understand it much now.

Then came a series of rumbling sounds from below. It must have been the smaller attacks that landed on the pile of rocks blocking the exit. Soon after, there was a loud bang, and the balance was broken, causing the rocks to collapse instantly, but also revealing a small passageway.

Lin Xuan definitely can't get through it unless he can turn back the clock to when he was just born, then maybe he can try, but it's enough to let the little one out.

"Dandan~"

After emerging from the small passage, Xiao Dian patted his chest. Even though he knew Lin Xuan was outside and would definitely save him, he wasn't completely carefree and still had some worries. But once he came out, he let loose again.

Lin Xuan didn't stand on ceremony with him and grabbed his ear, lifting him up.

"Why don't you train outside? Why do you have to come here?"

"Dan dan dan!"

Seeing Lin Xuan's angry expression, Xiao Dian quickly explained.

He was training outside when a small Rattata snatched the berries he had left aside to eat whenever he got hungry. He almost hid when he realized what had happened. How could a little guy take that? Of course not! He grabbed the rest of the berries and chased after the Rattata.

Then they chased him all the way here. Seeing the thief stealing his tree fruit, Little Dot immediately fired a super close-range energy ball at him.

Who knew that the guy actually had a home here? He just crawled into the hole, and for some reason, the floor below was a really shoddy construction. It opened up when Xiao Dian blew it open, and he fell in without noticing.

Speaking of this, Little Point clenched his fist angrily. That little Rattata had better pray he didn't catch it, or he'd teach it a lesson!

Lin Xuan clenched his fist and rested his head on his hand, not knowing what to say for a moment. It turned out that all this trouble was caused by a tree fruit.

"Buyi~"

Eevee raised its little paw to signal to Lin Xuan, then jumped onto Lin Xuan's waist, touched the Poké Ball, and went inside.

Many people have a misconception about Poké Balls, thinking that they are a very high-end spatial technology, but that is not actually the case.

Every Pokémon has the ability to shrink, but with very few exceptions, they cannot do it on their own. Poké Balls simply help them achieve this through external means, and incidentally provide them with a place to live.

In this "shrunken" state, the Pokémon's state is more like a conscious hibernation, which allows it to better recover its stamina and conserve energy. Normally, a Pokémon can stay in a Poké Ball for several days without eating or drinking without any problems.

Additionally, if a Pokémon is injured, returning it to its Poké Ball can, to some extent, prevent the injury from worsening and allow it to be transported to the Pokémon Center in a timely manner.

Ibu has used up a lot of his psychic powers and definitely needs to rest.

"So where does this lead?"

Lin Xuan casually pointed to the passage below.

"Dandan~"

Xiao Dian shook his head. He had been guarding the entrance the whole time and hadn't moved forward.

"Why don't we open the hole a little and take a look inside?"

Lin Xuan said casually.

"Dandan~"

Xiao Dian tilted her head. Opening the entrance passage wide enough for Lin Xuan to pass through wouldn't be difficult; it would just require throwing two more energy balls.

As soon as he finished speaking, Eevee jumped out of Lin Xuan's Poké Ball.

"Bueebu~"

Want to go on an adventure? Take me with you!

"Don't say things like that when you're practically dying!"

Lin Xuan thought that Eevee was just playing too many RPG games and thinking about these things all the time.

"Let's go back first, I'm starving. We can do the adventure stuff tomorrow~"

Lin Xuan thought that this was just an ordinary factory, what kind of things could it possibly have? At worst, she could just bring Little Eevee back tomorrow to fulfill her adventure dream.

Forget about tonight. It's already dark and I haven't even had dinner yet. I just spent so long moving stones. It's already a favor that I haven't fainted from hunger.

"Boy!"

Ibrahimovic nodded quickly, his eyes shining brightly.

Lin Xuan patted Eevee's head, then put it back into the Poké Ball so it could rest.

As for Little Point, he's full of energy. He just fired two energy balls down there, but didn't do anything else.

On her way home, Lin Xuan ordered two servings of braised chicken rice, which were delivered just as she arrived. Lin Xuan ate both servings of braised chicken, while Xiao Dian ate two servings of rice...

After all, didn't Xiao Dian already say he was hungry? Then eat more staple food, and he won't be hungry anymore, right?

Where can you find a master as good as me?

Lin Xuan sighed inwardly, then put a piece of potato soaked in broth into her mouth.
