Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Buy?"

Ibrahimovic looked up at Lin Xuan, seemingly asking why he thought that way. Then, seeing Lin Xuan's gaze, he seemed flustered and quickly began to explain.

"Buibui!"

“I know you’re happy about Gallade’s evolution, but besides being happy, seeing Kirlia, who was previously much weaker than you, suddenly catch up with you and even surpass you must have been a little frustrating, right? I know you don’t have those thoughts.”

Lin Xuan knew what Ibu was thinking, so she just smiled and patted her head.

Kirlia's strength was originally far inferior to Gallade's, let alone Eevee's. But now, after evolving, it seems to be surpassing Gallade. While Eevee is happy for Gallade, it can't help but feel a little disappointed for itself.

"Buyi~"

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ibu seemed to deflate and immediately leaned on his arm.

She thought she had hidden herself very well; even Gallade hadn't noticed her just now...

"Boy!"

But Ibrahimovic quickly explained that although he was a little unhappy, it was really just a little bit!

Moreover, it has been so long since I came out of the secret realm, and my strength has not improved at all.

Ibrahimovic suddenly had a feeling... that his talent might actually be the worst in Lin Xuan's team!

"Don't think too much about it! You're just stuck in a bottleneck because you haven't evolved. Look at Gallade's strength before it evolved. Even with a pair of rats as sparring partners, its progress wasn't that significant."

Lin Xuan tapped Yi Bu on the head, telling her not to overthink these things all day.

"Furthermore... I've also thought of a training plan for you. If it's successful, your strength improvement should be no less than Gallade's."

"Bui!?"

At this point, Ibrahimovic suddenly became excited and turned to look at Lin Xuan.

"Hmm... it's still in the planning stage, I don't know if it will succeed, it all depends on you~"

Lin Xuan tilted her head and said, "One of the biggest reasons Eevee doesn't want to evolve is its appearance, plus it likes to stick to me too much, so it's better not to evolve!"

According to the professor, Eevee's sudden evolution was due to the unleashing of its potential. So, how else can Eevee's potential manifest itself?

Lin Xuan had an idea, but whether it could be done depended on Ibrahimovic.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Back home that evening, Lin Xuan enjoyed a feast prepared by Gallade while taking photos and posting them on Bilibili, expressing that she was skipping the important day of Gallade's evolution.

【? ? ? 】

[Using Gallade as an excuse, huh?]

Your approach is a bit unconventional.

[Hmph! Fine, don't broadcast it then! I'm going to watch other Gardevoirs wiggle their butts!]

[What kind of streamer and what kind of fans they have, I'll go check it out too!]

After having a good meal with the kids, Lin Xuan returned to his room and began searching for some things. Next to him was the keystone from the Dawn Group.

Over the past two days, Lin Xuan has also tried to find traces of the real Mega Stone. After all, if the Key Stone exists, surely the Mega Stone can exist?

But the truth is that no matter how hard Lin Xuan searched, he couldn't find the Mega Stone. He even looked for a lot of random and strange-looking stones, but none of them matched the Mega Stone.

If there's no Mega Stone to pair with, what's the use of a Key Stone on its own?

Keystones, as their name suggests, are like keys, but they cannot unlock a Pokémon's potential. Only the bond between the Pokémon and its trainer can do that.

Keystones and Mega Stones tightly connect the two, transforming this bond into stimulating life energy, thus fulfilling the conditions for Mega Evolution.

Without Mega Stones, Keystones are essentially no different from regular stones.

Hmm, it looks a little better, but if that's all there is to it, wouldn't it be better for Lin Xuan to just buy a whole bunch of glass beads and put them in her room?

This thing swallowed up half of his prize money!

"Well, if we don't get any leads, we'll just have to ask the doctor for help later."

Lin Xuan sighed, looked at the key stone again and again, and finally put it back in the box, saying with emotion.

He had taken the keystone to the research institute to have it tested these past two days, but nothing special was found. After all, if there were really anything unusual, Dawn Group wouldn't have sold it so easily.

As for the other items, Lin Xuan kept them at the research institute so they could study them in their spare time, as a way to relax...

Lin Xuan kept the key stone at home the only thing he kept. He could just toss it on the table and it was the kind of thing that even a thief wouldn't want to steal, which made it quite convenient.

As Lin Xuan carefully put the key stone away and prepared to close the webpage, she happened to see the page at the very bottom.

A special gemstone unearthed in the Carlos region appears to contain unique energy.

The information Lin Xuan looked up was all on the League's official website, and because of his status as a researcher, he had high access privileges and was able to find a lot of information that ordinary trainers could not find.

However, the page Lin Xuan saw was publicly accessible. Although she didn't have high hopes, she still clicked on it, since she had seen far too many headlines in the past two days.

Especially in Carlos, it seems like he can dig up special stones every day. Lin Xuan originally thought of giving that area special attention, since it was the prototype of the Mega Evolution region in the official setting, but he later gave up completely.

A whole bunch of random stones were casually placed on the screen, some even displayed on pages accessible only to those with special permissions, leaving Lin Xuan speechless.

But after he actually clicked on the page, his eyes widened in shock, and he almost fell off his chair.

The picture shows some beads that look somewhat similar to keystones, but are much larger. Lin Xuan could tell at a glance that these were mega stones!

Although each Mega Stone has a unique color, Lin Xuan couldn't possibly remember every single one, as there were simply too many. Therefore, Lin Xuan didn't know which Pokémon's Mega Stone this was, but he was certain that this was exactly what he wanted!

Lin Xuan glanced at the time; it was news from last year. Since stones were unearthed every day in Carlos, it wasn't considered big news at the time. Besides, considering the timeline... Lin Xuan hadn't even transmigrated yet when they were discovered, so naturally she wouldn't have known.

The news article mainly described the appearance of the Mega Stone and vaguely explained its whereabouts, suggesting that it had been taken away by a large corporation. The entire news article consisted of only a few lines, and if it weren't for the picture, Lin Xuan wouldn't have been able to connect it to the Mega Stone.

"If it's Carlos... that would be a bit tricky!"

Lin Xuan scratched his head in frustration. If this evolution stone were in China, even in the hands of large corporations or families, with the doctor's connections, Lin Xuan was confident he could obtain it. But overseas…

Moreover, those big foreign conglomerates are not like those in China; they are truly powerful and influential figures, and dealing with them is not so simple.

After thinking it over, Lin Xuan decided to put the idea aside for the time being. It was probably impossible to get the Mega Evolution Stone in the short term. He should focus his attention on China. After all, even if he saw it abroad, it would be difficult to get it.

Having figured this out, Lin Xuan simply stopped worrying about it and began to study Ibu's future plans.

Eevee previously displayed special Fairy-type energy in the Secret Realm. According to the professor, this was caused by a special "potential" within Eevee. Lin Xuan then had an idea.

Because among Eevee's many evolutions, there is one special one.

Or it can't be called an evolved form at all, but rather a special state of Eevee... Partner Eevee.

Even in the game, it only exists in Let's Go, Pikachu, and Let's Go, Eevee. If Lin Xuan has some ideas about evolved forms like Sylveon and Glaceon, then the existence of Partner Eevee really leaves him completely clueless about how to deal with it.

But Ibrahimovic's current situation gave Lin Xuan an opportunity, and perhaps this was the chance for Ibrahimovic to become his partner.

After all, the biggest difference between Partner Eevee and regular Eevee, besides the increased base stats, lies in the use of energy. Partner Eevee can use special moves of nine different types, while Partner Pikachu only has four, which seems a bit meager.

"Hmm... there shouldn't be any problems. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly!"

Lin Xuan nodded as he looked at the contents of the Word document, and four words were highlighted in red by him: "Auxiliary Power!"

Chapter 250 Are we on good terms with Manaphy?

Two days after Dr. Sun Siming returned, Lin Xuan roughly learned what the competition he was talking about was.

Is participation mandatory?

Lin Xuan accepted the invitation from Zhong Mingyi. This competition did not have any special selection process; it was simply a direct invitation. The fact that the invitation was given by Zhong Mingyi showed that the list of invitees was decided by the alliance.

As for the competition format, Zhong Mingyi only gave a general overview. It seems that all the contestants will be sent to a small island, which has been prepared in advance. The contestants will need to discover the "treasures" and trials left there by the alliance in order to earn points.

Moreover, the entire match will be broadcast live. It is estimated that the hype will begin shortly after the invitation is sent to Lin Xuan. After all, this is the biggest event organized by the league in recent years, apart from the tournament, and it looks like a lot of fun.

Most importantly, Lin Xuan felt that this match was somewhat special.

"Although it's on a voluntary basis, I still recommend that you go."

Zhong Ming shrugged. He clearly knew a lot of inside information, but it was inconvenient to talk about these things with Lin Xuan.

"Can't I tell?" Lin Xuan glanced at Zhong Mingyi. "Just tell me secretly what our relationship is, and I promise I won't tell anyone else!"

Lin Xuan spoke righteously, but Zhong Ming rolled his eyes at him.

"Come on, you should go. I won't hurt you."

"alright."

Lin Xuan clicked his tongue. Although he hadn't expected to learn anything from Zhong Mingyi, why was this guy so principled in this kind of situation?

After putting the invitation away, Lin Xuan asked Zhong Mingyi another question.

What are the invitation requirements for this competition?

Lin Xuan was a little confused as to why she had been invited. What were the criteria for this invitation? Zhong Mingyi answered directly.

"do not know."

Lin Xuan: ...

"Ahem, or rather, the league's selection criteria for players are quite complex. Generally, it depends on each player's potential. For example, Song Chen from our Shanghai University will probably participate in the competition. In addition, there's my junior who just won the university league, as well as other players with good results. It should be the same for Beijing University."

While Zhong Ming was explaining, Lin Xuan was completely dumbfounded. "Look at the kind of people you're talking about. You want me to fight against them?"

"Little one, are you confident?"
