Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Tsk, I also lost ten coins, so we're even."

Lin Xuan waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, alright, I'll back down. You guys were wrong!"

【? ? ? 】

Shameless!

"Thanks to Zhong Mingyi, who's a handsome guy, for the SC message—[Come to the dojo for a meeting tomorrow]."

Lin Xuan leaned closer to the screen, looked at it, and clicked on it with some doubt.

"This must be a high-quality replica, right? Hmm, it probably is. I won't look at it. Xiao Zhong would never talk about meetings."

Lin Xuan pretended not to see it and jumped over it. As long as I pretend not to see it, the meeting is just a load of rubbish!

Since it was already the semi-finals, Lin Xuan only commentated on one more match after this one and then gloriously ended the broadcast. As for commentating on tomorrow's match... Lin Xuan probably doesn't have time, so this match will just end abruptly!

After the competition, Lin Xuan quickly went to rest and arranged a room for the rats to rest in.

After all, a young couple needs some privacy when living together. What if their evolution process is interrupted because of Lin Xuan and the others? That won't do.

Therefore, Lin Xuan must make ample preparations for their evolution... Yes, that's it.

-----

the next morning

Lin Xuan arrived at Jianghai City Airport, accompanied by Gu Yuan. The two of them had come specifically to wait for the Doctor, whose flight had arrived in Jianghai City that morning.

"So why can't we just buy lunch? The doctor has to catch a flight early in the morning. It's so inhumane!"

Lin Xuan, wearing gloves, breathed on her hands as she spoke, but she couldn't feel anything at all, as the gloves blocked it all.

"Oh, don't worry, the plane was specially arranged, so it's quite convenient."

"special plane?"

"Yes, after all, the information the doctor has is quite important."

The two waited in the car outside the airport. Before long, they saw a familiar figure. Lin Xuan leaned out of the window and waved to the doctor before quickly getting back inside, mainly because it was too cold.

There's nothing you can do about it; that's just how the weather is in Yunhai Province. You never know how the afternoon weather will turn out, unlike the weather forecast you saw in the morning.

The doctor also saw Lin Xuan and the other person and walked over.

However, as the doctor walked in, Lin Xuan also saw that there was another person with him. The person looked to be about the same age as the doctor, wearing a black and white woolen hat, with his hands behind his back, chatting with the doctor as they walked.

"That one is..."

Although she had some guesses in her mind, Lin Xuan still asked Gu Yuan, who was standing to the side, to confirm.

"Yes, Mr. Yan, he was in charge of protecting the doctor's safety when he went to the Yan Emperor Forest this time."

Lin Xuan nodded, then lingered on Mr. Yan for a while. He was a veteran master-level trainer, even stronger than Zhong Mingyi.

After all, among Zhong Mingyi's main Pokémon, only one Slowking has reached five stars, while the others are still somewhat lacking and are unlikely to be a match for this Mr. Yan.

"Doctor, Mr. Yan."

Lin Xuan and Gu Yuan quickly got out of the car, and as the doctor and the others approached, Gu Yuan greeted them as a junior.

"Elder Yan," Lin Xuan greeted, mimicking Gu Yuan's manner.

"Ah."

Mr. Yan nodded, his gaze lingering on Gu Yuan for a while before quickly shifting to Lin Xuan. After all, he was a trainer and would naturally be more concerned about matters in the trainer field.

"I've heard Lao Sun mention you and the League before. Good luck! I can't speak for other things, but I do have some experience in Pokémon breeding. I'll probably be staying in Jianghai City for a while, so feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."

Mr. Yan smiled and patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder. These were not just polite words, but rather expressions of his genuine high regard for Lin Xuan. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Dr. Sun Siming, so it was only natural for him to offer some assistance.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan."

Lin Xuan nodded immediately. Saying that he had "some experience" seemed a bit pretentious. There probably aren't many veteran master-level trainers like him in the whole of China.

As for why he stayed in Jianghai City... Lin Xuan guessed it might be because of his doctorate.

"I'm leaving now. Remember to let me know if you need anything."

Seemingly also feeling that the weather in Jianghai City was a bit cold, Mr. Yan pulled his hat down a little and then said to Dr. Sun Siming.

"Well, be careful."

The doctor didn't say much, just nodded and sat in the back of the car Gu Yuan had driven. Mr. Yan got into a car that was already prepared nearby and left. As for where he was going, Lin Xuan didn't know and would probably have to ask the doctor.

"Doctor, Doctor, how is Yeebu?"

After seeing Mr. Yan leave, Lin Xuan immediately revealed his true nature and sat in the front row to ask Dr. Sun Siming a question.

However, the doctor simply rolled his eyes at him.

"It went fairly smoothly. Let's talk about everything when we get back to the research institute."

After all, it wasn't convenient for the professor to release Yeebu directly while they were in the car.

After getting into the car, Gu Yuan asked Lin Xuan a question that he had been curious about.

"What brings Mr. Yan to Jianghai City? If it's just to protect you, escorting you to Jianghai City would be enough, wouldn't it?"

Gu Yuan asked with some doubt. After all, although the research institute mainly conducts scientific research, one should not underestimate the armed forces within the institute. Even Dr. Sun Siming always carries two four-star level Pokémon with him.

When asked about this, Dr. Sun Siming simply laughed it off.

"The Alliance's mission has nothing to do with us. It's just that Lao Yan happened to be passing by. Don't ask us any more questions."

"That's alright then~"

Gu Yuan wisely kept his mouth shut. If Dr. Sun Siming was also keeping it a secret, it probably involved some secrets of the alliance. It was best for a researcher like himself to stay away from it.

With Gu Yuan driving them, the group quickly returned to the research institute.

Jianghai City Dojo, Headmaster's Office

"Phew~ The weather in Jianghai City is really cold."

A man sat down in front of Zhong Mingyi, took off his hat, breathed on it, and said, "If Lin Xuan were here, he would definitely recognize the man sitting in front of Zhong Mingyi—it's Mr. Yan, whom we just met at the airport."

"I heard it wasn't this cold a few years ago, so it's probably been affected by something." Zhong Mingyi wasn't from Jianghai City after all, so he didn't know much about these things.

"Even the climate has been affected?" Old Man Yan frowned slightly. If that were the case, the situation seemed to be worse than he had imagined.

"Hmm... It's related to Jianghai City's geographical location. The climate here is inherently unstable. In places like Chuanfu City, this doesn't happen."

"Well, that's good." Old Master Yan nodded as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly returned to his stern face and asked again.

"So what's the current situation with that Ultimate Cave near Jianghai City? The Alliance hasn't given me any specific information before."

"Hmm... not good. It seems to be getting more and more unstable compared to the previous period. The original two-year timeframe may have to be brought forward."

Zhong Mingyi's face showed worry. Why did this happen as soon as he came here to become the dojo master?!

"Why? Everything was fine before."

"I don't know, but according to the investigation, it seems to be related to changes on the seabed. Someone has already gone to investigate."

Hearing Zhong Mingyi's words, Elder Yan could only nod.

"If there's anything I can help you with, just say so. This old man is still of some use."

"Hmm... I might really need your help soon."

Chapter 247 Keystone Acquired

Old Man Yan: "..."

I just said that casually, and it actually happened!

"Ahem, it's mainly because of the latest announcement from the alliance. You've just arrived in Jianghai City, so you might not be aware of it."

Zhong Ming coughed twice, then took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Yan Ming. Yan Ming glanced at it, and his expression quickly turned strange.

"Are you sure you didn't make this up?"

The main problem was that the news seemed too bizarre for him to fully believe.

"How could I have made that up? You can ask the league yourself and you should be able to find out."

Zhong Mingyi looked helpless, but in reality, he was also a little confused when he received the news.

"But didn't the alliance inform you? I thought you already knew."

"Indeed not."

Yan Ming shook his head, then looked carefully at the message in his hand, his expression growing increasingly strange.

"Is he really that kind? When we asked him for help before, he was completely unmoved, just willing to stay in his crappy sea..."

Yan Ming got more and more excited as he talked, especially when he recalled the things that had happened before, and he almost couldn't help but start cursing.

"Ahem! Elder Yan, be careful with your words. After all, that guy is still in a cooperative relationship with us."

Zhong Ming felt like he had coughed up all the coughs he would ever have in his life today.
