Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

As the red light flashed, the Pokémon that appeared on the field was not Lucario or Venusaur as the audience had imagined, but a Slowking!

"Dazed King?"

Long Tianyun was stunned for a moment, completely unaware that Zhong Mingyi actually possessed this spirit, but he quickly calmed down.

What's Slowking? Dragapult is a pseudo-legendary Ghost-type, it's going to beat you, Slowking!

"Surprise attack!"

Following Long Tianyun's command, Dralongaruto instantly burrowed into a different world undetectable by ordinary Pokémon, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

Zhong Mingyi simply replied with a nonchalant remark.

"Predict future."

Slowking instantly emanated powerful superpowers, and at the same time, it seemed to see a glimpse of the future in its eyes.

"Freezing beam!"

The instant Dramberto emerged, the ice beam seemed to have pinpointed his location, striking his vitals instantly. At the same time, several incredibly powerful superpowers also acted upon Dramberto from an unknown space.

"Xiao Zhong's Slowking is a genuine five-star!"

Lin Xuan calmly revealed the truth in the live broadcast, but it immediately caused a huge uproar.

This is a true five-star Pokémon, unlike the Dragonite that was forcibly boosted using Outrage and could only last for a short while.

Long Yun was stunned as he watched his reliance, Draco, be so easily defeated by Slowking, but he quickly came to terms with it after a few seconds.

This guy is truly a genius.

This is also how countless people present described Zhong Mingyi.

"The match is over. Dorambaruto is unable to fight. The winner is Zhong Mingyi!"

Chapter 156 Is this the part-time job you were talking about? (Daily 10,000 words, Day 1)

"Do you really have to dress like that?"

Five days after the Huaxia Championship ended, Lin Xuan arrived at Jianghai International Airport and spoke to the mysterious man next to her who was wearing a mask and only had framed glasses.

"Nonsense, I'm a top star now! You washed-up, second-rate streamer wouldn't understand!"

Zhong Ming rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan.

"And aren't you wearing a mask yourself?!"

"Ahem, as a streamer who's still going strong, I suggest you take back what you just said. I'm also afraid of being recognized! It'll be so embarrassing!"

At this point, Lin Xuan and Zhong Ming exchanged a glance and sighed in unison. Is this the fate of those with social anxiety?

As two well-known top socially awkward individuals, Zhong Mingyi and Lin Xuan have a lot in common in this regard.

After the competition, Zhong Mingyi first went back to Shanghai to pack his things, and then gave a speech at Shanghai University, boasting about his award-winning experience. After that, he went straight to Jianghai City.

Lin Xuan wasn't accompanied by Xiaodian, Eevee, or Ralts, mainly because they would be too conspicuous. Besides, those two were probably still playing games, and as for Ralts... she was probably still researching new recipes for Lin Xuan.

Unlike its owner, who has absolutely no talent for cooking, Ralts is also very talented in this area. In just a few days, it has completely mastered the use of all the kitchen utensils. It can even perfectly replicate many dishes that Lin Xuan could not make at all while watching videos.

When Lin Xuan saw this scene, she almost cried with excitement—after raising two foodies, she finally had one who could support her!

Finally, I no longer have to envy Dr. Sun Siming's loving caregivers!

"Where to now?" Lin Xuan helped Zhong Mingyi take another suitcase.

"Go home first!"

"You still have a home?"

"Hmph! As the gym leader, this gym is my home!"

Zhong Ming curled his lip and said in a very defiant manner.

Lin Xuan: ...

The dojo in Jianghai City is located directly in the city center, but it has not been officially announced yet, so most people passing by don't even know that this suddenly appearing building is a dojo.

After bringing her luggage to the entrance of the dojo, Lin Xuan went back temporarily. Since the dojo was not officially open yet, no one except Zhong Mingyi and some staff members could enter.

Although Lin Xuan had already been chosen by Zhong Mingyi, it hadn't been officially confirmed, so she was still turned away.

"Ahem, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow~"

Zhong Mingyi said somewhat embarrassedly, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, although he is the dojo master, many things still have to be done according to procedures. To put it bluntly, there are quite a few people who are envious of the position of dojo master in Jianghai City.

Even though Zhong Mingyi won the new Huaxia Championship, in some people's eyes he is still just a junior.

It's important to know that the two gyms in Shanghai and Beijing are led by two senior members. While the resource allocation in other places may be slightly less, it's not by much.

This actually reveals the alliance's intentions: to cultivate more new talent, whether it's apprentices in the dojo program, dojo masters like Zhong Mingyi, or others.

After picking someone up from the airport, Lin Xuan returned home and ate the lunch that Ralts had prepared for him while checking his phone for the latest news.

"Ruth?"

Seeing Lin Xuan eating the meal she had prepared herself, Ralts approached with concern.

【Is it tasty? 】

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Xuan stuffed a piece of braised pork into her mouth while giving a thumbs up.

"Much better than those two good-for-nothings who just lie there!"

Eevee and Little Point, who were sitting on the sofa looking bored, suddenly turned around and said, "You didn't say that before you raised Ralts."

But the two little ones quickly refocused their attention on the games on TV, because over the past few days, they had discovered a harsh truth.

I don't think I can compete with this new younger brother!

It can cook and instantly teleport to clean the house, how amazing is that?

A couple of days ago, Ibrahimovic tried to show off by running into the kitchen to cook something for Lin Xuan, but after almost falling into the pot and performing a self-cooking act, he decisively gave up.

It doesn't seem so bad to just give up; someone still cooks for them every day, and they don't have to eat the bizarre culinary creations Lin Xuan occasionally pulls out. So the two little ones unanimously decided—

Open up!

"Stop playing games! Come and eat! Can't you pause the game?"

Lin Xuan glanced at the two guys over there, and then compared them to Ralts... never mind, let's not compare them.

"Russ~"

Ralts simply used Teleport to scoop out the snacks and Eevee's meal together from the kitchen.

Teleportation is supposed to be a skill that consumes a lot of physical and mental energy, but in Ralts' hands, it seems as easy as eating and drinking.

For a moment, even Lin Xuan didn't know whether this "flaw" could still be considered a flaw.

"Boy!"

After Eevee jumped onto the chair, he patted Ralts on the shoulder.

[Well done, little bro!]

"Russ".

A few days after arriving here, Ralts's tone of voice became more firm.

Call me brother.

Actually, Lin Xuan had checked the birth times and found that Ralts was indeed a few hours older than Eevee, so it wouldn't be wrong to call him the older brother.

But Ibrahimovic didn't see it that way. Since she arrived first, she was the older sister!

Besides receiving the bell, another very important event is taking place today—the evolution method of Umbreon has been officially announced! The friendship system has also been revealed along with it.

While eating, Lin Xuan listened to Eevee and Ralts's usual argument about who was the older brother and who was the older sister. In Lin Xuan's opinion, it was unnecessary to make it so complicated. You call me brother and I call you sister, let's each talk our own way.

Meanwhile, when I opened Bilibili, news about Umbreon immediately topped the trending searches, and even the League of Legends official account posted a video about it, showing that Dr. Sun Siming has a lot of influence.

[Eevee has two more evolutions?!?!?!]

Wow, what a huge news story!

【Aaaaaaah! I just evolved my Eevee into Vaporeon!】

Thankfully, my Eevee didn't evolve.

Don't get too excited yet. The evolution conditions for Umbreon seem to be very demanding, and the evolution conditions for Espeon are still unclear.

[And what's this? Friendship level? Is it the relationship between the Pokémon and its trainer?]

[Hmph! There's a powerful bond between me and my Eevee!]

The latest news about Umbreon and Espeon, as well as the disclosure of Umbreon's evolution conditions, has naturally excited trainers who own Eevee, as it means they have another option.

Moreover, although Umbreon's evolution conditions are demanding, it does not require evolution items, making it an excellent choice for trainers who cannot afford high-end evolution stones.

Aside from Umbreon, the most discussed topic is naturally the friendship system, where the relationship between humans and Pokémon can affect evolution. Although similar claims have been made before, there has never been any crucial evidence to prove this, nor any specific examples.

But now we have it, because with the disclosure of intimacy levels, many mysteries about the evolution of Pokémon have also come to light.
