Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Hmm, do you have any good suggestions?"

Lin Xuan lowered his head slightly to think, seemingly considering a name, but actually making up a reason.

"The power of the two skills, 'Displaced Anger' and 'Repaying Kindness,' changes with this [special bond], even exhibiting a linear relationship. It's as if there's a number; the larger the number, the stronger the power of 'Repaying Kindness,' up to a maximum. Conversely, the smaller the number, the stronger the power of 'Displaced Anger,' which is also related to the feelings between the two parties... How about we call it 'Intimacy'?"

Lin Xuan made up a story in a serious tone, mainly to finalize the name "intimacy level". There was no other purpose, since no one in this world knew what intimacy level was. It would be fine to name it something like "emotional level" or "friendship level".

The main reason is that he's always been attached to this intimacy system and doesn't really want to change it...

Just like Pokémon names, Lin Xuan didn't know which jerk forcibly changed Mimikyu's name to Mimikyu, and his resentment about it could be seen from Lin Xuan's nickname on Bilibili at this time.

"Intimacy level?"

Dr. Sun Siming murmured the name, his eyes lighting up, because the name perfectly matched all the characteristics discovered so far, making it the most suitable name.

"Okay, then let's call it that."

Dr. Sun Siming then talked with Lin Xuan about the two Umbreons and Espeon.

"We also had Espeon and Umbreon try using the moves Return and Misdirection, and the consistent result was that Return is very powerful, but Misdirection is extremely weak, even weaker than Tackle."

After hearing Dr. Sun Siming's words, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh that the two Eevee birds and their keeper had a very good relationship, or rather, a very close bond.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xuan continued:

"I think we can put research on the two Eevee for now. Once we figure out how to increase friendship, we can use that to deduce the evolution conditions of the two Pokémon. Compared to that, it's not appropriate to start with the two Eevee directly."

"Are you so confident that the evolution conditions of these two Eevee are related to this so-called friendship level?"

Dr. Sun Siming smiled and asked in return.

"Have."

Lin Xuan nodded confidently. If Dr. Sun Siming were to ask him where this confidence came from... he would probably only be able to answer that last night in his dream, a guy named Game Freecs appeared in his dream and told him that the evolution condition for Espeon and Umbreon is friendship!

However, Dr. Sun Siming's question was just a casual remark, because he also felt that the evolution of two Eevee was inseparable from their friendship level, and Lin Xuan's answer just now suited his wishes.

He scratched his head, then bent down to look for something, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, right, there's this for you too, I almost forgot."

Then, when he stood up, a huge pile of documents inexplicably appeared in his hand.

Lin Xuan reached out and took it with a blank expression. She almost stumbled when she took it, and the weight of the bag was almost taller than her.

"What...what is this?"

Lin Xuan looked bewildered as she peeked out from the huge pile of documents. What were all these things?

Dr. Sun Siming clapped his hands and said to Lin Xuan with a smile.

"It's nothing, just some research materials about Eevee. Take it back and take a look when you have time. It should be helpful for Eevee's future breeding."

"Uh...do I have to see them all?"

Lin Xuan glanced at the materials, which were taller than her entire semester's worth of textbooks, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"There's no need to watch them all."

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but before she could even feel happy, she heard the next sentence.

"Just look at most of it."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lin Xuan almost coughed up blood, but he still silently accepted it. After all, although these materials looked cheap and stacked, they represented the accumulated experience of Dr. Sun Siming's research institute over many years, and would be a treasure to any Eevee trainer.

"By the way, where's your electric flying squirrel?"

Before kicking Lin Xuan out, Dr. Sun Siming suddenly remembered that the electric flying squirrel that had been following Lin Xuan was gone.

"There's a freshman competition at school these days, and that guy's been practicing at home by himself."

"You actually participated in the competition?"

"If that guy's interested, let him go up and have some fun!"

Lin Xuan answered casually, then asked Dr. Sun Siming for a bag, and prepared to leave with all that stuff.

Dr. Sun Siming nodded in agreement. Although he was also one of the honorary teachers at Lin Xuan's school, he didn't know much about these things. He just thought that Lin Xuan's electric flying mouse would probably only go up for one round, just to experience it.

However, Lin Xuan was unaware of what Xiao Dian was doing at his house at that moment. If he had known, he probably would have dropped everything and run back home immediately.

I'll save Chapter 29 first.

Crack! Glug glug glug~

After Lin Xuan left, Xiao Dian, who was home alone, took out a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and drank it happily. There was a basket of tree fruits on the ground next to her, and she was holding the secret manual in her hands. She couldn't be more comfortable.

Drinking soda with tree berries is a flavor I've never experienced before, but it seems... not bad?

In no time, he finished off another small fruit, turned his tail to face forward, and turned the page of the manual.

With a bottle of soda in its left hand, a berry in its right, and a flip page at the tail, its division of labor is quite clear.

As for when the little guy on the side, Eevee, hatches, Xiao Dian feels that he can still order it around, after all, he was here first, so he can be considered the older brother.

As for what Xiaodian wanted to train today, it was to continue Lin Xuan's previous idea: to enchant the energy ball with the plasma bath. The previous attempts could not be called failures, but they were never very effective.

He happened to see some content related to current control in the book, and immediately began to try it out.

"Dandan~"

Looking at the book's long and somewhat complicated explanations, Xiao Dian scratched his head and then subconsciously began to imitate them.

This action caused a powerful electric current to radiate from Xiaodian's body, startling him greatly.

An electric current struck the table to the side. Although it was just a casual blow, even a small current is terrifying. One corner of the table was shattered, and it tilted to one side, about to fall over.

If it were just a table that had been overturned, that would be fine, but the problem is that the incubation device containing the Eevee egg is still on top of it.

Realizing that it seemed to have caused trouble, Little Dot instantly unleashed all its potential and flew towards the direction where the table had fallen with a whoosh.

"Dandan~"

Little Dot leaped and caught the hatching device just before it hit the ground. Seeing that the Eevee egg was alright, it finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there's actually no need to worry too much, because the incubation device is made of special materials and has an extremely ingenious internal structure with protective devices. Unless it falls from a great height and breaks along with the device, it's impossible for the elf egg inside to be damaged.

Little Point, however, was unaware of all this. He knew that if anything happened to the elf egg, he would be in big trouble.

However, after standing up while holding the egg and glancing at the desk that had fallen to the side, scattering its contents all over the floor, Xiao Dian felt that her ending was likely to be a bad one.

Carefully placing the incubation device aside, Little Dot began trying to lift the table and then reassemble the table corners using the fragments. However, after working on it for half a day, Little Dot decided to give up.

Fine, I'll take the scolding. I can't handle this anyway.

But then again, how did I manage to hit that table so precisely?

Little Dot scratched his head in distress. He didn't seem to be thinking of using 100,000 volts; he had just simply released some electricity.

Click~

Just as Xiao Dian was pondering these things, Lin Xuan's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"I'm back~ Ah! I'm here. Let's order takeout in a bit. What do you want to eat, little one?"

After opening the door, Lin Xuan walked in carrying a huge handbag, his face showing a look of utter despair, and even his voice sounded listless. Then, as he walked in, he saw the messy living room.

"Hi~hoo~"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"Dandan!"

I can explain!

Little Dot said with great enthusiasm, gesturing wildly.

"Stop, I'm tired today. I'll save this for later and come back to yell at you tomorrow!"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly. After checking that the Eevee egg was fine, she said fiercely to Xiao Dian beside her.

Xiao Dian opened his mouth, actually he had some good news to tell Lin Xuan, but seeing how angry he was, he knew he would get a terrible scolding... He'd better wait until tomorrow when Lin Xuan scolds him.

Several days later, it was Saturday again. Originally, Lin Xuan was supposed to stay home and sleep in, but the school insisted on scheduling the competition for the weekend.

As for when Xiaodian finished resting after causing trouble and was about to reload his save and vent his anger, Xiaodian told him some good news... he seemed to be able to control himself a little bit~

Lin Xuan, half-believing and half-doubting, took Xiao Dian to a quiet corner in the park and found that although he still couldn't control the high-powered skill of 100,000 volts, Xiao Dian seemed to have learned a new skill... electric shock.

In some ways, this could be considered a weakened version of 100,000 volts, but it's sufficient for the current small point.

Although it is relatively weak in power, it is controllable. And this does not mean that 100,000 volts will be useless later. Once you have better control, there will be no need to continue using electric shocks.

Moreover, even now, 100,000 volts can still have a surprising effect.

Although this thing is prone to splitting, just like a shotgun, it will miss if you're a little too far away, but once you're right in front of it, its power is still very high.

As for why he hadn't used it before... it might sound a bit pretentious to say, but Lin Xuan was genuinely worried about whether the other opponents' Pokémon could handle it.

After all, reality is different from animation and games. If the injury is too severe, the elf may really die. So unless there is really no other way, Lin Xuan decided to use this skill less often.

When I arrived at the school's arena on Saturday morning, I was surprised to find that although there were fewer people than in the previous days, it was still almost full. This shows that everyone's interest in Pokémon battles is still quite strong.

After all, even if you don't actually want to be a trainer, living in this world with Pokémon, I believe everyone would have the fantasy of leading their own Pokémon and being triumphant on the field.
