Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan frowned and said uncertainly, after all, the stench on Mud is actually a complex one, depending on the area it lives in and what kind of garbage it eats.

If you live in a sewer, your body will definitely smell like the sewer. If you live in a garbage dump, it will likely smell more like a sour, pungent stench.

As for those who grow up in an environment filled with chemical waste, their offspring might even mutate into Alola Muk over time, since that's how these Pokémon came to be.

"give it to me."

Lin Xuan took the flashlight from Xiao Dian's hand, just in case they encountered Mud and didn't have a free hand.

"So there really aren't any elves here, are there?"

Lin Xuan asked somewhat uncertainly?

He just wanted to come and have a look around, to fulfill Eevee's adventure dream, but it turned out that they actually encountered a BOSS, just like in a game?

After walking a certain distance, the stench became increasingly noticeable, until…

"Careful, electric shock may be used!"

Under Lin Xuan's flashlight beam, a purplish-black unidentified object appeared not far ahead. Needless to say, this was the stinky mud that was emitting this foul stench.

Moreover, this Muk seemed to have a bad temper. When Lin Xuan shone a flashlight on it, it seemed to feel uncomfortable because it was used to the dark, and it pulled out a clump of blackish-purple garbage from its body and threw it at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan reacted quickly and immediately gave instructions to Xiao Dian.

"Dandan!"

The tiny dot quickly gathered electricity and flew swiftly to Lin Xuan's side.

There is a big difference between wild battles and competitions. For example, the Muk that they encountered this time directly targeted Lin Xuan, who was holding a flashlight. In a competition, such behavior of directly attacking a trainer would never be allowed.

The small electric shocks collided with the stinky mud's garbage projectiles, instantly scattering the rotten garbage. Lin Xuan also moved further away to avoid being hit by the aftershocks.

"Boy!"

Little Eevee seemed to want to help, but Lin Xuan grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, lifted him up, and held him in her arms.

"Little ancestor, don't cause me any more trouble. Are you trying to go up there and get yourself killed? Just leave it to Xiaodian."

Based on the attack from Muk just now, Lin Xuan roughly judged that Muk's strength was probably less than two stars, and Xiao Dian could easily deal with it.

However, what puzzled him was, firstly, why was there Muk here? Secondly, why was Muk attacking them so aggressively?

First of all, Muk is different from Rattata. Rattata is inherently violent and cruel, and it has grown and evolved in an environment where it competes for resources since it was a child, so it is classified as a dangerous Pokémon.

However, Grimer is different. Although it contains harmful toxins, it poses little threat to humans because it generally lives in sparsely populated places such as sewers and garbage dumps.

At the same time, as a big city, the daily amount of garbage produced is also enormous, so the Mud tribe never has to worry about not having food. This also leads to their mostly indifferent personality. Many times, you can walk past them without even glancing at them.

Because they eat garbage, they can sometimes even become helpers to humans. After all, we have nothing here, so there's plenty of garbage to eat, as much as we want.

Unless some ruthless person tries to snatch Stinky Mud's garbage to eat, then being attacked is their own fault. However, most people with brains wouldn't do such a thing.

"Make him behave himself."

There are also great differences between different types of wild Pokémon. Rattata's environment is fiercely competitive, requiring a wealth of battle experience. It is even more ruthless and merciless when it comes to fighting, making it stronger than some trainer Pokémon of similar strength.

But Muk clearly doesn't belong to this category. After seeing its trash shots scattered by the small bullets, it was even stunned for a moment, obviously having no combat experience at all. This is mainly because its entire race eats trash and has no natural enemies.

The only creature with a predator-like relationship is Dust Mountain. When Muddy breathes, a small amount of toxic gas leaks out. Although Muddy has no sense of smell, it is extremely sensitive to this gas and can quickly find its way by following the trail.

Lin Xuan didn't give Xiao Dian any complicated orders, but rather wanted to test Xiao Dian's ability to adapt to changing situations.

Against Muk, Little Point's recently practiced acrobatics and wing skills were practically useless. It wasn't that they were ineffective, but—

Grimer smells so bad! I don't want to go near it at all!

Little Dot immediately swung an electric net at Muk, which instantly expanded to its maximum size in the air, completely covering Muk's body.

Not only does it restrain the creature, but the current in the electric grid is also eroding the slime's health.

Xiaodian seized the opportunity and quickly used a series of electric shocks.

As the "condition" stabilizes, the current output of the small point is increasing. Although it is called an electric shock, it is actually slowly approaching the direction of 100,000 volts, getting close to the intermediate state between the two.

In reality, Pokémon skills have a fairly clear hierarchy.

For example, what's the difference between Ember and Flamethrower? It's just that one has a bigger flame and the other has a smaller flame. So the best way for a Fire-type Pokémon to learn Flamethrower is to practice Ember diligently.

Mud was trapped in place by the tiny dots and unable to move. Then it was hit by several electric shocks and quickly lost its ability to fight.

Looking at the Muk that had been knocked down by the little one, Lin Xuan thought for a moment and then threw out a Poké Ball.

It's not that he has a habit of keeping a Mud pet; people still need to live in his house! Even if he were to keep one, it would be a pet that's affectionate, capable of doing housework and taking care of the kids.

Lin Xuan was mainly curious as to why a Grimer had inexplicably appeared here. He figured he could just pull it out and ask it when it woke up, or at worst, just throw it into a sewer after they got out. That kind of environment should be more suitable for Grimer to live in than this place.

As for another reason, it might be that he watched too many Japanese "good boy" male protagonists in anime, who always showed mercy when fighting monsters and then forcibly put himself in danger. Lin Xuan also had this kind of finishing blow mentality.

But since it's a Pokémon, killing it directly is obviously not a good idea. Lin Xuan isn't that cruel, so he might as well catch it and put it in a Poké Ball first, so he won't have to worry about a Grimer jumping out and attacking him later.

If it turns out that this Grimer is too temperamental, just hand him over to the Pokémon Center and let them deal with it.

After dealing with the Muk, Lin Xuan and her group continued forward. However, Lin Xuan's mindset had changed somewhat, and she had become more cautious. Eevee, on the other hand, remained as carefree as ever, treating it like an adventure in a game.

"Damn, why is it so long?"

Lin Xuan took out his phone to check the time, then looked at the passage where he still couldn't see the exit, and couldn't help but swear. Almost twenty minutes had passed since they came down, and Lin Xuan's pace wasn't slow, but they were still inside.

Lin Xuan glanced at the signal indicator on her phone again; there was no signal at all.

"Walk forward for another five minutes. If you still find nothing, then turn back the way you came."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan said that this environment was still somewhat unsettling, especially since Lin Xuan seemed to realize that the existence of this passage was not simple.

However, he also glanced at Eevee. Eevee's Anticipation ability hadn't been activated, and it was still looking excited, seemingly not feeling tired at all after running for so long. Lin Xuan felt a little relieved.

Ebu brand hazard detectors are a must-have.

After walking for about three or four minutes, Lin Xuan and his group finally arrived at the end of the passage. There was still no light, because the structure here was similar to that of the factory, except that it hadn't been blown up by the small dots.

"Dandan?"

Xiao Dian looked at the familiar structure and scratched his head, asking Lin Xuan if they needed to blow this place up as well.

"Shh~ You want this place to collapse and crush me so you can inherit my estate and Bilibili account, right?"

Lin Xuan made a shushing gesture, then rolled her eyes at Xiao Dian and said.

Based on his years of experience watching anime and reading novels, this kind of place is probably some kind of villain's secret base. He'll observe it first.

Lin Xuan took out a tissue from her backpack and wiped it on the surface. The tissue instantly turned black, and a layer of dust came off. Lin Xuan's lips twitched, but she still put her ear to it to listen to the sounds, and muttered a reminder to Xiao Dian and the others.

"If there's even the slightest movement from above, we'll immediately run away and then call the police."

Lin Xuan was prepared; at the slightest sound of footsteps or voices, he would run away without hesitation.

Little Dot and Eevee exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. Their owner was truly...

If they knew that their master was a transmigrator, they might lament that Lin Xuan shouldn't have transmigrated to this world. With his level of cunning, he could have easily become the male protagonist of a cultivation novel if he had gone directly to a cultivation world.

But after listening for two minutes, there was still no response from above.

Looking at the two little ones staring at him, their eyes seemingly conveying a thousand unspoken words, Lin Xuan coughed twice.

"Ahem, it's always better to be cautious. Little one, come here and help me open this."

Lin Xuan brushed the dust off her head and said to Xiao Dian.

After confirming that no one was up there, he tried to push it with all his might, but he couldn't move it. However, he could still feel the stone slab move, which was obviously just because Lin Xuan wasn't strong enough.

"Dandan~"

When it really matters, you still have to rely on me!

Xiao Dian shrugged helplessly, then flew to the top of the steps. Lin Xuan watched his smug look without saying a word, but in her heart she had already made a reservation for his lunch.

Eating rice bowls every day isn't good; we need to change things up. How about steamed buns with bread? I think Xiaodian would like that too.

Xiao Dian noticed that Lin Xuan was looking at her strangely, with a slightly odd look in his eyes, and tilted her head in confusion.

"It's alright, let's get started."

After saying that, Lin Xuan placed his hands on the bottom of the stone slab and worked together with Xiao Dian. As for Eevee on the side, seeing the two of them working so hard, a pale yellow psychic light appeared in its eyes and clung to the bottom of the stone slab.

With Lin Xuan and the others' efforts, the stone slab was finally opened up with a crack. Lin Xuan then waved to the two elves to stop for a moment, and then looked out through the raised crack.

This place seems similar to the previous factory, also an abandoned site. The only difference is that everything in the factory had been moved away, leaving only an empty frame, but here you can see shards of glass all over the ground, and there seem to be some metal fragments and debris not far away.

There wasn't a single person there, not even a single elf, let alone a human.

“Lift it up.”

Seeing this, Lin Xuan felt a little relieved. Although she didn't know where she was, she figured there shouldn't be any danger.

Then, the one person and the two elves exerted their strength again, lifting the stone slab into the air.

Boom!

The stone slab hit the ground behind them with a heavy thud, and Lin Xuan and the two elves quickly climbed out.

Seeing Eevee rush out impatiently, Lin Xuan didn't care about the dust on Eevee's paws from crawling on the ground and pulled her into her arms.

"Idiot, there's glass shards all over the place, can't you be a little more careful?"

Lin Xuan reminded him helplessly.

It was only after Lin Xuan finished speaking that Ibrahimovic looked seriously at his feet and discovered the broken glass all over the ground. He then patted his chest with lingering fear.
