Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"I'm going to visit Shanghai University. According to Zhong Mingyi, the fortune-telling shop there should be useful for Eevee and Ralts."

"Booboo!" Eevee, perched on Lin Xuan's shoulder, immediately nodded. Putting everything else aside, all she wanted to do was go out and play. There were no game consoles here, and no silly bird to play with outside the neighborhood. It was so boring.

"What a coincidence! I also need to take care of some business at the research institute of Shanghai University. Shall we go together?"

Chapter 181 The power of technology is truly amazing!

Lin Xuan naturally had no doubts about Gu Yuan's words and set off together for Shanghai University. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw a familiar face.

Song Chen had been called by Lin Xuan beforehand; otherwise, even if he had a letter of introduction to get in, he wouldn't know the way, and it wouldn't be convenient for him to use the special training rooms if he went in alone.

"Senior told me you were coming a long time ago, why are you only coming today?" Song Chen asked with a smile.

"Haha~ I was busy the past few days, so I didn't have time. I finally found some time." Thanks to Zhong Mingyi, he is now a very busy person.

“Um, this is…” Song Chen nodded, then looked at Gu Yuan who came with Lin Xuan.

"Oh, Brother Gu is also from our research institute. He's here at your Shanghai University to assist with some research."

"understand!"

Song Chen immediately gave a knowing look, but he was also a little confused. When did their Shanghai University research institute get involved with the Elf Evolution Research Institute? He had never heard of it before.

However, Song Chen was a combat specialist, so he felt it was normal that he didn't know much about these things, and he led the two inside.

After walking a short distance, Gu Yuan greeted the two of them and then left alone.

"This senior... seems quite aloof~"

Song Chen said, watching Gu Yuan's departing figure.

"That's how he is when he meets strangers. But once you get to know him, you'll find that... his aloofness doesn't exist. Think about your senior?"

"Hmm, that seems to make sense."

Upon hearing Lin Xuan use Zhong Mingyi as an example, Song Chen immediately understood.

So where do you want to go first?

Song Chen asked directly.

"Let's go to that fortune-telling shop. I heard it's very beneficial for Psychic-type Pokémon." Lin Xuan said almost without hesitation.

"Psychic-type Pokémon..."

Song Chen gave Lin Xuan a strange look.

He also knew that Lin Xuan's real Psychic-type Pokémon was Ralts, but it was a Psychic-type Pokémon that didn't have Psychic abilities. On the other hand, Eevee had terrifyingly strong Psychic abilities.

"For Ibrahimovic?"

"Pretty much, but I'd also like to let Ralts try it."

Song Chen nodded, and then led Lin Xuan directly towards the divination shop, which was some distance from the bishop's quarters and considered a relatively remote location within the Shanghai University community.

"Because the psychic powers released by Psychic-type Pokémon are too strong, we were worried about the potential impact if we placed them in a crowded area, so we built them here."

Song Chen pointed to a small, somewhat dilapidated one-story building not far away.

"But... this doesn't seem to be a problem of being remote."

This "battle-damaged" style building seems out of place among the universities in Shanghai, and it's also rather small.

"Don't worry, this is just the entrance; the real venue is down below."

Song Chen pointed to the ground, where it was relatively safer.

"Grandma, someone's here!"

The fortune-telling shop on the first floor didn't even have a door; instead, there were only a few tattered cloths serving as cover. Coupled with the lack of lights inside, it did indeed give off a gloomy feeling.

Is this definitely a fortune-telling shop and not a haunted house?

"Come in~"

Hearing the sounds coming from inside, Song Chen led Lin Xuan inside.

"Buyi~"

Eevee, perched on Lin Xuan's shoulder, couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if it were several degrees colder here than outside.

Once inside, Lin Xuan could see the entire interior of the fortune-telling shop. Just like the outside, it was very simple, with a small wooden table and a thermos cup that seemed out of place with the atmosphere.

The reason it looks out of place is because the thermos has a Gardevoir pattern on it...

Lin Xuan couldn't help but glance at the old woman lying on the recliner to the side. She was obviously the person in charge here, and also the "old woman" that Song Chen mentioned. She thought to herself... "You have such good taste!"

"Hmm...not from our school!"

The mother-in-law looked up at Lin Xuan and Song Chen, and said softly with some doubt.

"I'm from Huaxia Elf University~" Lin Xuan explained.

"From other schools? But this place isn't open to people outside the school!"

"I was introduced by senior Zhong Mingyi."

"Xiao Zhong? You should have said so earlier! Come here, young man!"

Upon hearing Zhong Mingyi's name, the mother-in-law's expression immediately changed. Just moments ago, she had looked reluctant, but now she beamed with joy.

"Grandma is a very strong psychic and psychic trainer. Plus, since Senior's first Pokémon was Slowpoke and he often comes here, he can be considered her half-disciple."

Lin Xuan suddenly realized why he had been asked to come over; it turned out there was a connection!

He loves using connections to get ahead!

"How is that kid Zhong Mingyi doing now?"

The mother-in-law first stood up from the recliner, then smiled and asked Lin Xuan and the others.

"He is now the owner of a dojo in Jianghai City, and I was recruited by him to work as a laborer."

"The gym leader? I've heard that guy talk about it before, he's not bad~"

At this point, the mother-in-law also felt that Lin Xuan looked somewhat familiar. She was not the kind of person who was indifferent to outside affairs. On the contrary, she had been paying attention to this matter ever since Espeon appeared.

"You are... Lin Xuan? The one who discovered Espeon?" the old woman asked with some doubt, but she wasn't sure.

"Um... I didn't discover Espeon. I just made a small contribution to finding Espeon's evolution method," Lin Xuan said modestly.

"That's still quite an achievement!"

The mother-in-law did not refute, but she knew that Lin Xuan's contribution was by no means insignificant, otherwise she would not have remembered his name.

"So you came here for your Eevee?"

The old woman turned her gaze to Eevee on Lin Xuan's shoulder, a hint of superpowers flickering in her eyes, before her pupils suddenly contracted, clearly quite surprised.

"Your Eevee... it's impossible that it doesn't meet the evolution requirements for Espeon, right?"

She could sense that Lin Xuan, this Eevee, possessed incredibly powerful psychic abilities. It was truly the first time she had ever seen anything like it at the Eevee stage.

If even an Eevee with such superpowers can't evolve into Espeon, then she thinks this Pokémon isn't worth discovering, because very few people can meet the requirements.

"Eevee could have evolved a long time ago, but she just didn't want to."

"Don't want to evolve?" Grandma frowned slightly. "What's wrong with Espeon?"

After all, they are psychics, and they have a special feeling for Psychic-type Pokémon. It should be said that most psychics are like this, and they will not catch Pokémon of any other type besides Psychic.

"No, it's just that she prefers to stay in Eevee form."

Lin Xuan shook her head and explained.

"Boy!"

The Eevee on Lin Xuan's shoulder raised its head proudly. Even without evolving, it could still suppress all enemies in the world! Only the Eevee Emperor is invincible!

"What a unique Eevee!"

Seeing this, the old woman could only say this, and then gently waved her hand behind her. Instantly, an Alakazam appeared behind her. Even Eevee, who was proficient in psychic abilities, had not sensed any movement before.

This Alakazam is incredibly powerful!

Lin Xuan came to this conclusion immediately.

"The training room is downstairs, and you can only get in by teleporting. Let your Eevee go down with Alakazam."

"That's what my mother-in-law said softly."

"Can't you see what's down there?" Lin Xuan asked. After all, it was a relatively unfamiliar environment, and Lin Xuan was still a little worried about Ibu.

"Oh, don't worry about that, I have a way to let you see it."

After saying that, the mother-in-law took out a crystal ball from under the cabinet on the wooden table and placed it on the table.

"Does this thing... really work?"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up immediately. Seeing the underground scene with superpowers? It feels like a fantasy world. I have to see it for myself.

"Buy?"

Eevee curiously went over to it, but strangely, she didn't sense any superpowers from it!

"Of course, this is the latest model," the mother-in-law said confidently.
