Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Gu Yuan, why don't you take him to see Eevee's habitat first? I'm busy here," Dr. Sun Siming waved his hand and then went back into his room.

"Ah~ Is this heaven?"

Lin Xuan leaned against a large tree in the garden, surrounded by several Eevee dogs circling and playing around him, while two others rubbed against his hand.

"Boy!"

While watching Lin Xuan's Eevee puff out its cheeks, it thought, "I'm clearly your Eevee!"

She charged forward with a headbutt, shoving aside the one that Lin Xuan was holding, and then plopped down on it, seemingly declaring this her territory. As for the smaller ones, they were more casual, finding two Eevee to play on the side.

Don't forget about your real job!

Gu Yuan, who was walking by, saw Lin Xuan like this and couldn't help but say helplessly, "But it seems that it is precisely because Lin Xuan likes Pokémon that he can get along so well with his Pokémon."

"rest assured!"

Lin Xuan gave Gu Yuan an OK sign, then tossed the little Eevee in her arms aside and picked up her notebook to start recording the situation of several Eevee.

"Bui!" (〃＞目＜)

The little Eevee, who had just snuggled into Lin Xuan's arms and was then thrown out, was naturally very unhappy. However, knowing that Lin Xuan was busy, he didn't bother him. Just as he was about to go play with Xiao Dian, he discovered that Xiao Dian was already playing with the other Eevees.

Hmph! I'm not going to play with him!

o(一︿一+)o

The institute's ecological park is very large, and the surrounding area is the most suitable environment for Eevee to grow up in. Little Eevee strolled leisurely into it.

Don't go too far!

While recording the Eevee's condition, Lin Xuan spoke to the little Eevee.

"Boy!"

【I don't need your help!】

Lin Xuan was fine when she didn't talk, but once she started talking, Eevee walked even faster. However, Lin Xuan wasn't worried. There weren't any dangerous Pokémon around. Even if there were Nidoking or Beedrill, which were normally dangerous, they would be more docile under the care of their trainers and wouldn't be as aggressive as they are in the outside world.

Eevee gradually moved away from Lin Xuan's direction, occasionally rolling around in the grass—an experience she had never had at home, and something Lin Xuan, as a rookie trainer, had consistently overlooked…

But this must also be related to Eevee itself, right? Little Point will occasionally fly out to explore on its own, while Eevee only knows how to stay at home and play games. Once, Lin Xuan said he would take them to buy berries, but this guy didn't want to go out.

Ibu rolled over and accidentally bumped into a tree. It didn't hurt, but she just stretched out her limbs and looked up at the sky. Then a face suddenly appeared in her line of sight.

"Ruth?"

"Boy!"

Eevee was so startled that it immediately performed a Splash Jump, tumbling up from the ground. Ralts, who had been peeking out to observe Eevee, was also startled and instantly teleported behind a tree, only sticking its head out to look at Eevee.

"Buy?"

Eevee jumped up and turned its head to look around, immediately spotting Ralts hiding behind a tree.

"Boy!"

You're the one who scared me, aren't you!

Eevee put on a fierce look, and Ralts was so frightened that it shrank back and dared not show its face.

When Eevee saw Ralts' reaction, she couldn't help but tilt her head. She just wanted to scare this guy, so why is he so timid?

Eevee carefully circled around to the other side of the tree and appeared behind Ralts, then patted him with its paw.

"Ruth!"

Ralts was so startled that it used Teleport to hide on the other side of the tree, while Eevee, having successfully pulled off a prank, lay on the grass and laughed.

"Buibui!"

"Russ~"

"Buy?"

But after the prank was over, Eevee still cautiously approached Ralts.

What are you doing here?

"Russ~"

I'm lost~

"Buyi~"

Ibu shook his head helplessly, pretending to be Lin Xuan. "He can even get lost in such a small place. He must still be a child."

After saying that, Ibrahimovic turned and looked around...

Where did she just come from?

Ibrahimovic blinked, realizing an equally serious problem: she seemed to be lost too.

"Buibui!"

Ibu anxiously started circling on the ground. Knowing Lin Xuan's personality, he would definitely get anxious if he didn't go back for too long. If he didn't tell Lin Xuan that he was anxious and got lost, Lin Xuan would think that he had been running around aimlessly to play and would decide to punish him.

But if I say I got lost... that would be so embarrassing! Xiao Dian would definitely laugh at me mercilessly, so I'd rather get a beating from Lin Xuan!

Ibrahimovic is now envious of Xiaodian's watch. Lin Xuan specially bought Xiaodian the latest high-end model after the game, which is completely different from the old-fashioned model he had before.

Not only can it project videos onto a screen, but it also has a full range of functions, though watching dramas is still its primary function.

I should have brought the smaller one over beforehand; now I wouldn't have to worry about getting lost.

"Russ~"

Ralts glanced at Eevee with her eyes hidden behind her hair, as if to say, "You can't even find your way, yet you dare to laugh at him?"

"Boy!"

Who says you can't find it!

Ibrahimovic, who is fiercely competitive, would never admit defeat at this moment.

Come with me!

"Ruth?"

Where to go?

Looking for Lin Xuan!

Who is Lin Xuan?

[The best person in the world!]

Eevee led the way excitedly, and Ralts, who followed behind, didn't understand what Eevee was talking about, but he still followed. As a Pokémon that is extremely sensitive to emotional fluctuations, he could feel the emotional fluctuations that Eevee had when he mentioned Lin Xuan.

He must be a very good person, right?

Ralts thought to herself.

"Hmm... this Eevee's fur is a bit dark, does it not usually like to eat much?"

Lin Xuan checked the Eevee in her arms and then said.

As a researcher, the job isn't just about spending all day in the lab fiddling with research. The first step is to understand Pokémon, which is why the professor gets chased around by a Pokémon in the game.

"Hmm, you've got some skills."

Not far away, Lao Luo walked over. As Eevee's breeder, he couldn't possibly be absent; he had just been called away by Dr. Sun Siming to help out.

"Uncle Luo."

Lin Xuan heard Gu Yuan call him that, so he simply started calling him that too.

Luo nodded and then glanced around.

Where's your Eevee?

Lin Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this and looked around.

"They must have gone somewhere to play, right?" Then he glanced at the time. "They've been gone for an hour, I wonder where they went."

"Don't worry, there's no threat here. The Pokémon around here are mostly very docile. These Eevee Pokémon often run around, but they'll definitely come back when it's time to eat."

Lao Luo said with a smile.

Lin Xuan looked up and thought for a while. Given Eevee and Little Point's perfectly matched foodie nature, this was indeed true.

"Little one, go find Eevee, I don't know where he's gone to play again."

"Dandan?"

Xiao Dian, who was comfortably watching the new anime while lying on the side, suddenly pouted. However, despite having a lifeless expression, he still slowly circled around a few times. He remembered that Eevee had walked in this direction before.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the ecological park...

"Boy!"

I'll protect you!

Eevee shielded Ralts behind it, its fur standing on end as it looked at the Pokémon in mid-air not far away.
