Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

A middle-aged man in a white coat stepped forward. Calling him middle-aged seemed a bit inappropriate, as he looked to be in his early thirties. However, his hairline seemed to be bearing a burden that his age shouldn't be under, making him look older overall.

This made Lin Xuan subconsciously touch her hair, wondering if she would look like this if she became a researcher in the future.

Dr. Sun Siming's appearance didn't serve as a wake-up call for him. After all, at his age, it was good enough that he still had hair; what more could he ask for?

"Yes."

At the same time, Lin Xuan took out the pass, thinking that having this should be enough to prove her identity.

"Oh! My name is Gu Yuan. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Gu. The professor is already waiting for you over there. Come with me."

For some reason, Gu Yuan was very enthusiastic when he saw Lin Xuan, which left Lin Xuan a little confused. What was going on?

Even the little one who was perched on Lin Xuan's shoulder cautiously came to Lin Xuan's ear and asked.

So, are you some kind of super-rich second-generation heir who's been hiding this from me?

"Get lost! If I were a rich kid, would I be supporting you? Wouldn't it be better to just open a Gardevoir theme park?"

Lin Xuan immediately retorted, but fortunately she spoke very quietly, so only a few people heard her. Otherwise, if it had reached Gu Yuan's ears, he might have thought that this child... really had good taste!

Gu Yuan led Lin Xuan to the door of a research lab and knocked.

"Doctor, I brought Lin Xuan with me."

Then I heard a strange crackling sound coming from the room, like there was a thief, but I didn't know why.

Gu Yuan frowned, sensing that things were not simple. Without waiting for Dr. Sun Siming's response, he opened the door and rushed in.

However, after the door was opened, nothing seemed to have happened inside the room. Dr. Sun Siming simply stood behind the research table and quietly watched the two of them, as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, Lin Xuan is here. I have some things to discuss with him, Gu Yuan, you can go out first."

Dr. Sun Siming spoke calmly, but secretly wiped his lips with his finger.

"Oh, is that so?"

A cold smile appeared on Gu Yuandi's face. He then closed his eyes, twitched his nose twice, and finally opened his eyes abruptly.

"Doctor, are you eating instant noodles in the lab again?"

"no!"

"Then what's the deal with the exhaust pipe next to you?"

Gu Yuan pointed to the exhaust pipe not far from Dr. Sun Siming, which is usually used in experiments that produce special odors.

"I'm researching the differences between regular Muk and Alolan Muk, trying to find ways to allow them to evolve across regions."

Lin Xuan was immediately shocked. Cross-regional evolution? Is this really possible? There is no precedent for this even in the original work. After all, Muk was already differentiated before its evolution.

One is a pure poison type, and the other is a poison and dark type. They don't even have the same attributes, so it seems unlikely that they could evolve across forms.

"This kind of research can produce some odors, so it's important to ensure good ventilation."

Dr. Sun Siming explained it this way, and even Lin Xuan was moved. After all, the smell of Muk... well, wild Muk usually lives in sewers and feeds on all kinds of garbage, so you can imagine what it smells like.

On the contrary, Alola Muk, although it looks more dangerous due to its colorful appearance, actually tastes better than regular Muk because it hides all its toxins inside its body, and it doesn't have a strange smell.

Sludge obtains its energy through chemical reactions between toxins. In fact, due to the accumulation of large amounts of toxins in their bodies over the years, some Sludge even produce products used to synthesize black sludge or even highly toxic orbs.

However, the probability is extremely low. It's hard to say whether one out of a hundred wild Mud will produce such a thing. Even if it does, the quantity is very small and not enough to make a prop.

"I didn't smell any stinky mud at all; instead, I smelled seafood noodles," Gu Yuan said calmly, clearly not believing a word of Dr. Sun Siming's words.

Dr. Sun Siming: ...

Are you a Growlithe?

"So how many times have I told you, Doctor, don't eat this kind of thing in the lab. It smells terrible and it's really hard to clean up if you spill it..."

Knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, Dr. Sun Siming stopped pretending and took out a large beaker and two glass rods from under the research table, slurping them down. Even at this moment, he didn't forget to offer an explanation.

"Don't worry, this beaker is new, there's no danger."

But no matter what Dr. Sun Siming said, Gu Yuan kept complaining, saying that if he made a mess again next time, he would have to clean it up himself.

Lin Xuan stepped forward and pointed to the alcohol lamp on the side.

"Doctor, you didn't cook instant noodles with this, did you?"

"Hmm~" The doctor shook his head.

"This takes too long to cook, we need to use this."

After saying that, he took out a red and black rectangular object from under the lab table, just like Doraemon.

"This thing is useful. Don't underestimate its small size. Give it a little flame and it can unleash a lot of energy."

This is... charcoal! ? ?

Lin Xuan was speechless. This thing could increase the power of fire-attribute skills. Apart from natural charcoal, only coal turtles could produce this kind of item, and they were also extremely rare.

You're going to use this thing to cook instant noodles?

How about this: I'll give you an induction cooker and a big pot in exchange for this thing, how about that?

Lin Xuan almost blurted these words out, after all, using charcoal to cook instant noodles was still a bit of a luxury.

Since they had already been discovered, Dr. Sun Siming didn't try to get Gu Yuan to leave, but instead let him sit down as well.

"I bet you're curious right now, wondering why I called you over, aren't you?"

Dr. Sun Siming put the beaker aside, pushed the suction tube up, and asked Lin Xuan.

"It must be because of what I said in class yesterday, right?"

Lin Xuan answered almost without thinking, because the answer was practically obvious, since her only interaction with Dr. Sun Siming was yesterday's class.

"Yes."

Dr. Sun Siming nodded, not surprised that Lin Xuan could guess this, and then took out two Poké Balls from his pocket.

A flash of red light appeared, and suddenly two elves, one black and one pink, appeared before Lin Xuan.

Umbreon and Espeon—this was the first time Lin Xuan had seen these two Pokémon since she transmigrated.

Espeon has the characteristics of a small feline, with purple fur and eyes. It has a ruby ​​on its head, and its fur has a velvety sheen and feel.

Umbreon has black fur and red eyes. Its ring-shaped markings are a dazzling gold, and when bathed in lunar energy, these markings glow, a result of an awakening of an incredible power.

Espeon's form is extremely graceful and magnificent, and perhaps it is precisely because of this that it is quite popular in the Eevee family, second only to Eevee itself and Sylveon.

Umbreon is also a special member of the Eevee family.

It's important to know that the base stats of the Eevee family are actually the same; the only difference is that the order is shuffled.

The same applies to Milotic and Gyarados, so these two Pokémon could perhaps be considered an officially chosen couple.

This is why some members of the Eevee family are well-distributed by race, while others are divided into different races.

Umbreon is a prime example of a perfectly balanced Eevee family. With moves like Foul Play, Roar, Yawn, and Moonlight, plus its incredibly high bulk, it can make any opponent want to just crash into its head and die.

"These should be the only two Umbreon and Espeon in the world right now. Their birth was due to too many coincidences, and even we haven't found a way to replicate them."

Dr. Sun Siming squatted down and touched Umbreon and Espeon, then stood up and explained to Lin Xuan.

"Can I touch it?"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up when she saw the two Eevee evolutions. No one can resist the charm of Espeon or Umbreon. If you can, then have both.

"can."

Lin Xuan gently stroked Espeon's forehead. Espeon's outer body has extremely sensitive fine hairs that can even sense the movement of air to avoid attacks.

But it is precisely because of this layer of body hair that she feels incredibly soft to the touch, as if you were touching a giant cushion, making you want to lean against it.

The same goes for Umbreon. Although it feels different to the touch than Espeon, it can still bring you joy, especially when the two Pokémon gently nudge your palm with their heads at the same time.

Cool!

Lin Xuan seemed to suddenly understand why so many people like to keep cats. Is this what it feels like?

"dawn!!"

Little Dian, watching Lin Xuan petting Umbreon and Espeon with a blissful expression, suddenly pouted as if she were a little jealous.

He was clearly there first!

Lin Xuan, that guy who forgets everything else when he sees Eevee!

But Lin Xuan knew her limits and only tried it a couple of times before standing up.

“Both of them are very close to humans,” Dr. Sun Siming explained.

"So what does this have to do with you calling me over?"

Lin Xuan still didn't fully understand.

"Of course."

Chapter 11 Obligation

"You and your electric flying mouse have a good relationship, right?"

Dr. Sun Siming did not answer Lin Xuan's question immediately, but asked after observing the interaction between Lin Xuan and the electric flying mouse.
