Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan slammed her fist on the table in exasperation. Although Chinchilla has the Digging skill, Magneton could just use Electromagnetic Levitation to fly into the sky and that would be the end of it.

【Ah this...】

[It seems that's indeed the case]

[Mimi-Oka's professional instincts as a coach kicked in]

[As expected of the coach chosen by Xiao Zhong, his words hit the nail on the head.]

In fact, Flareon's trainer was also regretting it at this moment. He had gotten too excited during the fight and completely forgot that Flareon had to conserve its stamina to deal with Magneton.

The outcome was thus predetermined... Was Cinnabar going to fight Magneton head-on, or just use its tail to swat and scratch it?

Chapter 172 Who's after Ibrahimovic?

Friday, December 9th

The weather has started to get a bit cold lately, and even though Lin Xuan wears thermal underwear in her room, she still prefers to stay in bed all day.

"Ouch~ It's so cold."

Lin Xuan moved closer to Xiao Dian, letting the guy light a fire in his hands so he could keep warm, and then put his coat on for him.

Southern students who study in Northeast China often have a common thought after returning home: "Why does my home feel colder than the Northeast?"

This brings up a very important issue... there's no heating here!

Although the temperature in Jianghai City is not cold enough to require heating, and the indoor temperature is not too cold if the windows are closed, the problem is that...

"Hey, driver, when are you coming? This afternoon? Can you hurry up? I'm freezing to death!"

Looking at the shattered French windows not far away, Lin Xuan said helplessly to the repairman on the other end of the phone.

The driver said he would do it as soon as possible, but Lin Xuan had no idea how fast that would be. She could only hope that the driver wasn't a "slow starter".

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan finally had time to teach Xiao Dian a lesson.

He was woken up early in the morning by the sound of breaking glass outside. He rushed out to see what was happening and found that Ibrahimovic had accidentally popped the Psychic Ball again. In a panic, he could only launch it in the safest direction.

There was another wall and window outside the balcony, which was usually closed when there was nothing to do. So when Ibrahimovic launched his psychic ball, it smashed through the window and hit the floor not far away, barely making a small dent.

"Did I buy a counterfeit or substandard product? Why did it explode again?"

Lin Xuan glanced outside helplessly and said.

"Buyi~"

【Could it be that my superpowers are too strong?】<(￣ c￣)

"Hmm... I guess so. Your superpowers have indeed improved quite quickly recently." Lin Xuan nodded, which was a form of praise for Eevee.

"Boy!"

Ibrahimovic proudly raised his head; as expected, he still had to...

"So the cost of replacing the window will be deducted from your total spending on snacks and games this month. If that's not enough, it will be deducted from next month's amount."

"Booi!!!" (＃°Д°)

You can't do this!!!

Ibrahimovic was about to pounce on Lin Xuan. Was Lin Xuan just taking her money? No, she was taking her life! Why don't you just take my life too!

"So you're not going to clean it up yet? Do you want Ralts to do it?"

Lin Xuan glanced at Eevee, and at that moment Ralts came over with a broom. Compared to Eevee and Little Spot, Lin Xuan had the thought, "What kind of creatures have I raised?"

"Buyi~"

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's command, Eevee walked directly to Ralts and shoved him aside.

【Let me do it!】

"Ruth?"

Ralts, holding a broom, was taken aback. It had never seen Eevee so attentive before, and it suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Eevee cleaned up much faster, simply using his superpower to throw the glass shards into the trash can. Once he was done, he immediately came to Lin Xuan to show off his success. Lin Xuan glanced at the cleaning results and thought they were quite good, so he was satisfied.

"You did a great job. From now on, you'll be in charge of cleaning the house."

Lin Xuan smiled and patted Ibu on the shoulder.

Ibrahimovic's smile froze instantly, while Little Dot almost burst out laughing, but then he remembered Lin Xuan's personality. If he dared to speak up at this moment, he would definitely be responsible for cleaning.

Hold it in! I'm a professional; I won't laugh no matter how funny something is!

Xiao Dian mentally went through all the sad things and finally suppressed her laughter.

“Bu, Yi…”

Ibrahimovic was about to refuse, but after thinking about his snacks and games, he reluctantly agreed, while drawing circles in the corner.

"Buyi~"

[Draw a circle to curse Lin Xuan so he won't find a girlfriend~]

While Eevee was drawing circles in the corner, Lin Xuan also checked on the training results of the two Pokémon over the past two days.

Ralts' progress was relatively smooth and predictable. After officially mastering Ice Fist, in addition to continuing to train in Ice Fist, Lin Xuan also had Ralts begin learning the next punching technique—Thunder Fist.

Perhaps it's because of her Ice Punch foundation, or perhaps it's because there's a little dot next to her. The little dot wanted to teach Eevee Electric-type moves when she was just born, but Lin Xuan chased her aside. Now, the little dot's teaching addiction has returned.

But this time Lin Xuan acquiesced, because Little Point might actually be able to help Ralts learn Thunder Fist.

By now, Ralts' fists can occasionally crackle with electricity, and it seems that he is just one step away from completely mastering the Thunder Fist.

Little Point and Eevee's "Thunderfire Avenue" combo move was still being practiced, but it looked a bit awkward or impractical to use it with both Pokémon together. Lin Xuan was thinking about whether there was any way to modify it.

……

The repairman was quick; he arrived shortly after Lin Xuan had retreated back to her room and installed a new floor-to-ceiling window. Lin Xuan watched from the side, bored and embarrassed, and almost blurted out, "What do you do for a living, sir?"

After resolving the issues at home, Lin Xuan headed straight to the research institute, leaving Xiao Dian and Ralts to look after the house.

"Eevee's psychic abilities are already very strong. At least as far as I know, there are very few Eevee that can reach this level. Even the Espeon that evolved before, although it had some psychic talent, is far inferior to her."

Dr. Sun Siming looked at Eevee on Lin Xuan's shoulder with some confusion and said.

"So Espeon's evolution has nothing to do with psychic powers?"

Lin Xuan was also a little confused. If it had nothing to do with superpowers, then what could it be related to?

“No, superpowers are definitely one of the important reasons.” Dr. Sun Siming shook his head, but the question is, besides superpowers and intimacy, is there a third, more complex factor?

Lin Xuan's mind was filled with a lot of information related to Espeon.

[They can sense air movement and predict enemy thoughts and weather patterns by using the fine hairs all over their bodies.]

No, this ability should only be acquired after evolution.

Extremely loyal to the trainers they approve of. It is said that their precognitive abilities have become highly developed in order to protect their trainers.

Precognitive ability? But that seems to be something many Psychic-type Pokémon have, so it's not particularly special.

Espeon originally had no abilities, but it's said that it awakened precognitive abilities to protect itself... Dangerous?

Lin Xuan suddenly opened her eyes. So, Espeon's evolution comes from a stress response to danger?

Its sense of danger, combined with its bond with its trainer, caused it to unleash powerful potential in an instant.

Lin Xuan felt as if she had found something important.

"What did you think of?"

In Dr. Sun Siming's eyes, Lin Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had made a new discovery.

"I suddenly had some inspiration, but give me some time to go back and think about it."

Lin Xuan didn't explain immediately, after all, this explanation... firstly, it didn't seem to make any sense, and secondly, it was difficult to explain.

Lin Xuan decided to go back and think of a solution first, and organize her thoughts.

Lin Xuan left the research institute but did not go home immediately. Instead, she went to the nearest supermarket.

"Hmm... what did Ralts say she wanted to buy?"

Lin Xuan took out his phone again and glanced at it. Ever since Ralts took over the cooking, he had basically been in charge of the kitchen. It seemed that the soy sauce was almost gone and there weren't many vegetables in the refrigerator. He asked Lin Xuan to go out and buy some.

"Beef, eggplant, scallions..."

Lin Xuan scratched his head. Ralts' cooking skills seemed to be getting better and better, but the amount of groceries he needed to buy had also increased significantly. He should have just ordered delivery service.

"Buy?"

Just as Lin Xuan was standing at the supermarket entrance looking at the shopping list on her phone, Ibu suddenly turned his head and looked at something not far away, making a slightly puzzled sound.

"what happened?"

Lin Xuan turned her head to look at Ibu in surprise.

"Buyi~"

Ibu shook her head, then pointed to a small alley not far away, where she had just had a strange feeling.

"Is it because your ability to foresee the future is growing, making you a bit more sensitive?"
