Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Which way... should we take?"

To Lin Xuan's left was a cave. Under normal circumstances, Lin Xuan would not go in, but the key point was... there was a sign at the entrance that read "Welcome In," which was clearly the work of the Alliance.

"This handwriting is really ugly~"

Lin Xuan looked at the words written on the sign and complained that if she hadn't gotten used to seeing what Ibu and the others wrote, she would have had a hard time recognizing them.

However, he didn't expect that his words would almost infuriate a guy who was flying in mid-air, hiding his tracks.

"Mana!"

Manaphy really wanted to punch this guy. She had kindly set up a road sign for Lin Xuan at this fork in the road, and this guy was actually complaining about it!

Manaphy was already thinking about how to tease Lin Xuan later. If he didn't avenge this, would he still have the nerve to call himself the Prince of Canghai?

Aside from the cave, there is another ordinary mountain path. According to the map, you can reach your destination by following this path. The next training ground should be there.

But this cave... looks really interesting.

Lin Xuan looked conflicted.

"At this moment, it feels like there are two little people arguing in my mind. One tells me to go through the cave because it symbolizes adventure, which is what a trainer should pursue."

Lin Xuan suddenly sighed and said.

【? ? ? 】

Why did Teacher Mimiu suddenly start lecturing on principles?

[This is a bit unusual, let's listen to more.]

Meanwhile, Manaphy also started to get nervous. What if he didn't come this way after all the preparations he had made? That won't do. He has to get this guy in, even if he has to!

Then he heard Lin Xuan's next sentence.

"But another little person told me—'Okay, okay! Let's go this way!' So, let's set off!"

Lin Xuan pointed the dowsing rod directly into the cave, while Eevee in his arms slapped him across the face as if he had been prepared. He knew that Lin Xuan was not going to be normal.

As for Manaphy, who was in mid-air, he almost fell down. He was about to use his superpowers when Lin Xuan put on this show for him.

【! ! ! 】

[I knew it! Mimikyu-sensei couldn't possibly be that serious!]

All I can say is, as expected of you.

These two little people of yours... are quite harmonious and loving!

The supplies provided by the alliance included flashlights, and they were the kind that could be charged by solar power! They weren't the kind that only turned on when placed in the sun, which Lin Xuan thought deserved praise.

However, Little Point can awaken Fire, so if all else fails, he can team up with Gallade to walk in front, which would at least provide some light, though it feels a bit inhumane...

However, after walking a few steps into the cave, Lin Xuan also discovered a problem: there seemed to be no signal here.

The camera light on my camera was flashing, a sign of poor signal, and the same thing happened in the live stream. After Lin Xuan entered the cave, the live stream started to lag. The good thing was that I could occasionally capture some of Lin Xuan's facial expressions...

【Crack! Crack! Crack!】

[Automatic parody?]

[I got stuck when Mimikyu-sensei walked into the cave, and I started convulsing uncontrollably.]

"No signal?"

Lin Xuan fiddled with the camera for a while, and seeing that the lights on it were flashing, he used the controlled variable method, walked out of the cave, and the signal was restored.

"It's not a problem with the camera; there's really no signal inside."

Lin Xuan waved the camera around, but it was obviously to no avail, so she had to suspend the live broadcast.

"See you later, I'll start my live stream again when I get out~"

Lin Xuan said that the live stream content was not mandatory; it was just that Lin Xuan, as a streamer, was used to having it on.

After temporarily turning off the cameras, Lin Xuan led Xiao Dian and the others back into the cave.

"Be a little careful. I have a feeling the Alliance isn't up to any good by pulling this stunt!"

Lin Xuan said decisively that it was mainly because of his experience of being tricked last time that he had become more cautious in everything he did.

"Keep an eye out for any wild Pokémon around."

The Pokémon that often appear in these caves are familiar to most people, such as Zubat and Geodude. If it were Unova, they might be Rumblebat, but they are generally the same.

As for things like Riolu, forget about it. The odds are about the same as finding a lottery ticket and winning five million dollars.

As Lin Xuan and the others ventured deeper into the cave, they gradually spoke less and less, simply continuing to walk forward slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, Eevee suddenly shuddered in Lin Xuan's arms, shook its fur, and let out a cry.

"Boy!"

【Stop! 】

At Eevee's shout, Gallade and Little Point instantly regained their senses and looked around in confusion.

They seemed to have fallen into some inexplicable state, their consciousness became blurred, and they just kept walking forward.

Xiaoxi and Xiaomi seemed to have less resistance to this, and they only came to their senses after being lifted up and shaken in mid-air by Gallade.

But Lin Xuan, who was holding herself, seemed to be in the worst condition. She showed no signs of waking up, her eyes became lifeless, and she just kept walking forward.

Ibrahimovic panicked and quickly floated up and swayed on Lin Xuan's arm, but it was no use. At this moment, Little Dot also flew over.

"Dandan!"

【I'll do it!】

Little Dot rubbed its paws together with a determined look, appearing eager to try.

Gallade turned its head away, looking as if it couldn't bear to watch. Xiaomi and Xiao Mi were very curious about how Xiao Dian would wake Lin Xuan, but he quickly understood...

"Ow!"

Ten seconds later

"What I'm saying is, next time this happens, can we shake it a little harder? If that doesn't work, then we can use this method."

Lin Xuan covered her face with one hand and said expressionlessly, "Doesn't this guy know to hold back a little when he makes a move?"

"Dandan~"

Xiao Dian shrugged, indicating that Ibrahimovic had already tried his best, but Lin Xuan still couldn't wake up.

"Mana mana!"

Manaphy, who was following not far behind Lin Xuan and the others, clearly saw the whole scene just now and almost laughed so hard he fell off the building.

You got what you deserved for mocking my bad handwriting, didn't you?

However, the fact that Eevee was able to escape his environment first was somewhat unusual.

However, he wasn't very proficient in this area. If it were any of those three mushrooms, let alone this little Eevee, even other legendary Pokémon could easily get trapped.

But everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and Manafi still prefers to stay in the sea...

"What happened just now?"

Lin Xuan rubbed her cheek, which was still a little sore, but she forced herself to suppress the urge to beat Xiao Dian and asked Yi Bu, since, according to them, Yi Bu was the first to wake up.

"Buyi Buyi~"

Even Ibu just shook her head. Although she was the first to wake up, she didn't understand what was going on at all. She just felt that they seemed to have fallen into an illusion because of some special power.

However, while this power is somewhat similar to superpowers, it is also different, appearing somewhat... gentler?

Ibu didn't know how to describe it, but it seemed that it was precisely because this power was too gentle that she accidentally broke free.

"So... there are other people here besides us, or perhaps elves?"

Lin Xuan looked around but didn't see any elves. But thinking about it carefully, it was probably this guy who had been stealing his energy cubes outside.

You really love playing pranks!

However, one question has been bothering Lin Xuan: if all of this was really caused by a certain elf, won't the League do anything about it? This is clearly no longer within the scope of a trial, is it?

"So, the Doctor and the others want me to participate in this Poseidon Cup... Poseidon Cup?"

Lin Xuan muttered the name of the competition to himself. He had previously thought it was just a random name, probably because it was held on an island at sea, but now he thought it might have a deeper meaning.

"If you don't come out, we might have to leave."

Lin Xuan said something to her surroundings, but still received no response. She also tried to turn on the camera, but there was no signal at all. It all felt like it was done on purpose.

"go!"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan decided to go outside first. Although she had just been forced into an illusion, she shouldn't have gone far. If she turned back now, she should be able to get out quickly.

but……

After about ten minutes, Lin Xuan stopped and carefully stepped on the footprints on the ground, which were obviously left recently.

Those are his footprints!

Moreover, the direction of the footprints was the same as his current direction, and everything seemed to point to one thing—they were trapped here.

"Ibrahimovic, is there any way?"
