Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Zhong Mingyi paused for a moment. He had only been gone for a few days, but he felt a little out of touch with the times. When did Lin Xuan get involved with the Liming Group?

"Don't you know?" Lin Xuan looked at Zhong Mingyi with a somewhat puzzled expression. "I had a battle with that guy at Su Yun University a few days ago. His Pokémon is Espeon, which is a good match for his major, so he invited me to come and take a look."

"I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't had time to surf the internet."

"Tsk, they don't even care about their own employees. Typical capitalist attitude." Lin Xuan clicked her tongue.

Zhong Mingyi: ...

"Enough with the nonsense. After that exhibition ends, you'll come with me."

"Where are you going? What are you doing? Human trafficking?"

Lin Xuan posed three soul-searching questions to Zhong Mingyi.

“In Tianfu Province, there is a family with superpowers, and…” Zhong Ming frowned, seemingly organizing his thoughts for the next sentence.

"There's a rather special area there that's beneficial for Psychic-type Pokémon. Your Eevee is good at Psychic, isn't it? You should be able to gain a lot there. Kirlia is the same. According to Slowking, Kirlia also has some Psychic abilities. Maybe you can activate them there."

"There are such great places?"

Lin Xuan glanced at Zhong Mingyi with some surprise, and even Xiao Dian looked over, wanting to hear if there was any place that would suit him. He couldn't let that guy Yi Bu take all the benefits, could he?

"It's more suitable for smaller, secluded spots. There aren't many in China, and the effects aren't that great. I'll take you abroad sometime when I have the chance."

What is a secret realm?

This was the first time Lin Xuan had heard this term.

"Hmm... Although it's called that, it's not as high-class as it sounds. It's more like some special areas where the energy and magnetic fields can affect specific Pokémon. These kinds of places are called secret realms, but they're still on Earth, not the alternate dimensions in novels."

Zhong Mingyi continued to explain.

"That secret realm belongs to the Zhang family, which is the oldest superpower family in China. Although it is said that the secret realm is jointly managed with the Alliance, it is mostly under their control. Ordinary people cannot enter it."

At this point, Zhong Mingyi gave Lin Xuan a look, appearing quite smug.

"Then you can take me in?"

Although I know that Zhong Mingyi is a championship champion, can this champion really have such a big reputation?

"Ahem, didn't you go to the fortune-telling shop at our Magic University before? That old lady is one of the heads of the Zhang family, and she's like my teacher. So I've been to that secret realm a few times before. It was there that greatly helped Dazed King to have his current strength."

"Oh, now I understand!" Lin Xuan nodded. "It's someone with connections!"

"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak! You only got in because of my connections!"

Zhong Mingyi glared at Lin Xuan again. Sure enough, he couldn't stay with this guy too often, or he would get sick from anger sooner or later.

"Just bring my letter of introduction when you go in."

"I'm going alone?" Lin Xuan pointed to herself.

"Nonsense, I'm busy here, how could I have time to accompany you all this way? But you can still see some acquaintances over there," Zhong Mingyi said mysteriously.

"Who?"

"The Imperial University student you defeated in the college league, her name seems to be... Li Ru, and her Pokémon is a Misty Eclipse."

Lin Xuan didn't recognize the name, but she still remembered Mengmengshi. She had a fever and couldn't participate in that battle, so Xiaodian took her place and won the match.

But after thinking about it, Lin Xuan realized something was wrong.

"But isn't her surname Li?"

"Can't her mother's surname be Zhang?"

"Makes sense!"

Before they knew it, the two had walked along the backstage passage to the exit. Zhong Ming said goodbye and left, while Lin Xuan went straight back to the hotel to continue preparing for the competition.

There's no rush about the secret realm. I'm going to lose tomorrow anyway, but the competition will last for several more days. I'll also go see an exhibition while I'm at it. I'll deal with that later. The most urgent thing is to make sure I lose in a good way tomorrow.

Lin Xuan even posted a status update on Bilibili for this.

[I'm going to face my senior tomorrow, is there any way I can defy fate?]

Lin Xuan wanted to defy fate and change her destiny, and the comments below were indeed quite outrageous.

[That's easy, I'll just seduce her tonight!]

[Using a beauty... no, a handsome man!]

[Let's pop the champagne! We'll be able to see Mimikyu-sensei's live stream in a couple of days!]

The match hadn't even started, and some people were already holding celebrations for themselves... mainly to celebrate their loss!

Lin Xuan immediately reported the comment, citing "personal attack" as the reason!

"How's your reflection practice going?"

Eevee learned Reflect from back home, but hasn't used it in the last few battles. However, it might be very useful tomorrow.

Lin Xuan knew that although her senior was quite cute, most of her Pokémon were Fighting-type, so Reflect would be quite useful in that case.

As for why she said most of them are Fighting-type, it's because she has one exception, which is a Gourmet-type Pokémon—Farfetch'd!

"Boy!"

Eevee raised its paw and stroked its fur, indicating that this skill was quite simple, and it could have learned it even without Lin Xuan.

"let me see."

Lin Xuan said this, and Eevee quickly used its psychic powers to create a transparent reflective barrier in front of itself. Lin Xuan then tapped on it.

dong dong~

"It's alright, quite crisp."

Lin Xuan nodded. Eevee's mastery of Reflect was rather unique. According to her, she learned Reflect while practicing her psychic abilities...

Eevee had used a similar technique before, gathering his psychic powers in front of him to help him defend against attacks. This could most likely be considered a prototype of Reflect.

"If I have time later, I'll learn the High-Speed ​​Star skill. I should be able to master it quickly."

Eevee still lacks offensive skills, and Psychic-type moves always have a blind spot regarding Dark-type attacks. It would be necessary for it to learn some STAB moves.

"Buyi~"

After setting up the reflective wall for Lin Xuan, Ibu immediately lay down on the sofa and started fighting with Xiao Dian for the TV remote. She casually said that Lin Xuan had insisted on making her go up there to get herself killed, which had exhausted her. It was something that Xiao Dian could have easily solved.

"Dandan!"

Seeing that Eevee had snatched the remote control from his hand, Little Dot immediately tried to grab it back, but Eevee's psychic powers lifted the remote control high into the air and made it tap around in mid-air.

"Boy!"

【It's my turn today!】

After selecting the program, Ibrahimovic used his superpowers to pull the remote control close to his chest, protecting it tightly, and then looked at the little one with a wary expression.

Feeling bored, Xiao Dian decided to come over and listen to Lin Xuan and Kirullian's conversation.

"And Kirlia, your immobilization skill... isn't that an inherited skill? Why can't I ever use it?"

Lin Xuan felt a headache coming on when he thought about this. This was a fairly practical skill, but Kirlia's situation was too special. Not to mention Immobilize, it seemed that she couldn't learn any transformation skills except for Teleport, including Shadow Clone, which she should have learned when she evolved.

The immobilization spell is slightly better, since it's an inherited skill, but it's unreliable and can't be used in a match anyway, since Lin Xuan doesn't want to gamble on such a probabilistic event.

"Kiru~"

Kirlian lowered her head, looking quite dejected. Lin Xuan realized that what she had said was a bit too harsh and quickly comforted her.

"It's okay. Xiao Zhong said he'll take us to that superpowered family later. Maybe they can solve your problem."

"Qilu?"

A glimmer of hope appeared in Kirullian's eyes, but it quickly faded. He had heard this kind of talk many times before, but by now, he had given up all hope.

"Dandan!"

Tiny braced itself against the reflective barrier erected by Eevee with one hand, while patting Kirlia with its paw.

"Besides, no matter what, you're much easier for me than those two. If I could only keep one of you three, I would definitely choose you!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, she patted Kirlia's shoulder with some emotion, and then patted Little Point, who was listening nearby, on the shoulder. Little Point almost fell from mid-air because he couldn't hold on properly.

"Dandan!?"

Is that how you comfort someone?!

However, Xiao Dian knew that Lin Xuan was just joking on purpose. After making a fuss for a while, he stopped caring and started looking for fun. His first target was the Reflector that Eevee had erected.

Lin Xuan sat down at the computer and started choosing what to eat that afternoon. The hotel arranged by the organizers was indeed nice, but it lacked a kitchen, otherwise Kirlia could have cooked for them.

The little dot reacted in the same way as Lin Xuan, first gently tapping it with its paw.

"Dandan~"

It doesn't seem very sturdy.

However, the Reflector can only block physical attacks, while smaller attacks like 100,000 volts will pass right through it.

With nothing to do, Xiao Dian looked at the reflective wall in front of him and began to imitate it. He didn't even know where the energy came from. It seemed to be an instinct. In no time, a wall appeared in front of Xiao Dian.

It wasn't until the light wall was fully formed that the little dot realized what was happening.

"Dandan?"
