Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Slowking fell into deep thought once more, the seashell on his head emitting a faint glow to aid him in contemplating the truth of the matter.

"Buy?"

Ibrahimovic stared at the huge creature in front of him, who had just been talking to him, but now he was spacing out again.

"Stay~"

The superpower aura above Slowking's head gradually faded, but even with the power to foresee the future, he still couldn't understand why.

Hmm... that's another thing for him to think about!

Then he turned his gaze to the little one sitting on the side with Dragonite, munching on berries. He thought that Lin Xuan's two Pokémon seemed to have some special features, so what about this seemingly ordinary Emolga?

After reading it, Daidai Wang, unusually, fell into self-doubt.

Why does the electrical energy inside this electric flying squirrel seem somewhat unusual?

Among those present, the only one who could see this at a glance was Slowking. His five-star strength and wisdom as a sage of the sea gave him intelligence and insight beyond that of ordinary Pokémon. Even though the power within Slowking was unrelated to psychic abilities, he could still vaguely sense something.

After a moment's thought, Dazed King used his superpowers to transmit his doubts to Zhong Mingyi.

"what happened?"

Lin Xuan, who was chatting with Zhong Mingyi, immediately noticed the change in Zhong Mingyi's expression.

"It's nothing, it's just that Slowking said he noticed that your Pokémon seem to... each have their own unique characteristics?" Zhong Mingyi said after thinking for a few words.

"Ahem, that's true." Lin Xuan said somewhat awkwardly.

"How could Slowking figure that out?"

Then Lin Xuan looked in the direction of the dazed king with some surprise.

“The Sage of the Sea, that title isn’t given lightly.” Zhong Mingyi shook his head.

"Before Slowking's evolution method was discovered, its value was even higher than that of pseudo-legendary Pokémon, because Slowking's significance is not only in battle. It can even help you deal with all kinds of everyday problems, and even think about tactics and arrange training coordination between other Pokémon. It is almost an all-around Pokémon."

At this point, Zhong Mingyi seemed to remember something and smiled at Lin Xuan.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank your research institute and Dr. Sun Siming for their discovery. Otherwise, my Slowpoke should have evolved into Slowbro at first. Only after the King's Token was discovered could it evolve into Slowking smoothly."

The only thing that Zhong Mingyi wasn't entirely satisfied with about the dazed king was a certainty, but he couldn't conveniently discuss it with Lin Xuan.

That is, Slowpoke was Zhong Mingyi's starter Pokémon. Before evolving, Zhong Mingyi always played a role similar to a father. However, after evolving, although Slowking always maintained the same respect for him as a father, there was always a sense of incongruity whenever he saw Slowking's wise eyes.

It's like raising a son, only to have him suddenly become your father. Other trainers, like Fennekin, might have a similar feeling.

It's not that it's bad; the bond between Zhong Mingyi and Dazed King is still the deepest among all the Pokémon, but this change still makes him both laugh and cry.

"Could you let Slowking check on Ralts's condition? See if there's anything we can do?"

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and then said.

Although Ralts' future goal is to evolve into Gallade, if there is a way to solve his psychic deficiency, it would definitely not be a bad thing, and it could also help him get rid of this shadow.

"I can't guarantee anything, but I can give it a try."

Zhong Mingyi had a general understanding of Ralts' situation and readily agreed.

Chapter 163 Ibrahimovic has an epiphany!

Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi then brought Ralts to Slowking's side. Lucario followed curiously. With the power of Aura, he could actually sense that the psychic energy fluctuations on this Ralts were different from those of ordinary Psychic-type Pokémon.

Or rather, it was too weak, even when using teleportation, which should theoretically consume a lot of superpowers. However, he didn't pay much attention to it, but still followed.

"Dandan?"

While munching on a berry, Little Point rubbed the thigh of the Dragonite next to him, then pointed to Ralts's location, indicating whether he wanted to go check it out.

Lin Xuan seriously suspected that Xiao Dian might have the function of a social butterfly, oops, a social mouse. It had become familiar with Dragonite in such a short time. However, this should be due to the fact that Zhong Mingyi's Dragonite was also a glutton. The mouse and the dragon had a lot in common.

"Whoosh~"

Dragonite picked up Little and flew over. Little originally wanted to resist for a while, since he could fly himself, but after failing to resist, he decisively chose to give up.

"Stay~"

Slowking instantly understood what the two meant from Zhong Mingyi's heart, and looked at Ralts with gentle eyes.

Let me check it.

"Ruth?"

Ralts could sense that Slowking's aura was very kind, but she still subconsciously asked Lin Xuan for his opinion.

"Relax, let Slowking check the situation."

Although the professor wasn't quite sure what the problem was, Zhong Mingyi's Slowking, being a Psychic-type Pokémon and a wise man of the sea, might actually be able to figure something out.

"Stay~"

Even from a distance, Lin Xuan could feel the power emanating from Slowking, yet it was exceptionally gentle, slowly enveloping Ralts.

At the same time, Slowking's eyes were also covered by a layer of superpowers, and he used his ability to foresee the future in an attempt to help check the effect.

About ten seconds later, the superpowers on Slowking's body dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

"Dumb King, did they find anything during the examination?"

Zhong Ming asked directly.

"Stay~"

Slowking put his hands behind his back and then slowly shook his head.

"You can't even figure out Slowking?"

Lin Xuan asked with some disappointment, "Slowking's strength has already reached five stars, and given the special nature of its race, even Pokémon stronger than it would find it difficult to be more adept at this kind of psychic energy fluctuation. If even I can't detect it..."

"Stay~"

Actually, there's a clue to it.

The voice of the dazed king entered the minds of Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi directly.

[Ralts' inability to use psychic powers is an innate defect. His psychic powers seem to possess some special attributes, making them different from other Pokémon. However, even I cannot fully understand them. But... in the glimpse I saw using my precognitive ability, this might not be such a bad thing for Ralts.]

Even the ability of the Slowking King to foresee the future cannot truly be omniscient; he can only see a vague direction rather than specific things, but that is enough for Lin Xuan.

"Since it's benign, there's probably no need to worry about it."

Lin Xuan said this, and the dazed king on the side nodded in agreement.

Well, he has one more topic to study now.

Finally, Slowking let Ralts' psychic energy fluctuations pass through his mind one last time before retreating to a corner to brood again.

"That's just how Dazed King is. Once he encounters a problem that needs to be studied, he can't stop and has to delve into it thoroughly," Zhong Mingyi said with a hint of helplessness.

"Russ~"

When Ralts first heard Slowking's words, he was quite frustrated when he heard that even he couldn't do anything about this flaw. He only recovered a little when he heard the rest of the story, but he still didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

After all, he had initially thought he had seen hope of returning to normal, but in the end, he was still disappointed.

"Luca!"

Seeing this, Lucario, who was following behind Ralts, squatted down and patted Ralts on the shoulder.

Lin Xuan also comforted him, saying, "Didn't the Dumb King say that this doesn't seem to be a bad thing? Your teleportation is so strong, perhaps because of this."

“This is a rare opportunity. Didn’t you ask me for the Three Punches technique for Ralts before? Since you’re here, why don’t you let Lucario give Ralts some pointers?” Zhong Mingyi said.

"Is this convenient?"

After all, before Lin Xuan arrived, Zhong Mingyi seemed to have been training Lucario and the others.

"It's alright. For Lucario, this kind of thing is a kind of training in itself."

“Lucario!” Lucario nodded.

"Then please."

Hearing Zhong Mingyi's words, Lin Xuan no longer stood on ceremony. After all, having Lucario's guidance would be of immense benefit to Ralts.

However, Lin Xuan also knew that he seemed to owe Zhong Mingyi more and more favors, so it seemed that he would have to find more time to come to the dojo to help train the apprentices!

Lucario beckoned to Ralts and led him to a corner to the side.

"Luca?"

Lucario asked Lin Xuan which move to start teaching.

"Hmm... Ice Fist, please!"

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and then said.

Although Ice has always been one of the worst types, there's a saying among Pokémon players: you'd be more than happy to have a Pokémon with an Ice-type move, but you'd never want it to be Ice-type.

Ice-type moves have one of the best coverage, which is one of the reasons why Lin Xuan chose Ice Punch.

Ralts currently only has Shadow Sneak as an attack skill, which doesn't fully utilize the power of Teleport. However, once it learns a couple of punches, the outcome might be different.

Lucario nodded, and after telling Ralts to stand further away, he began to demonstrate for him from the spot.

Lucario's right arm pulled back slightly, and at the same time, wisps of cold air began to emanate from his fist. Lin Xuan had no doubt that this punch could kill a dragon.
