Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

I don't know if it's because the yield here is really high, or if I was just lucky...

Okay, we can disregard the latter, but Lin Xuan also felt that Xiao Xi and Xiaomi had made significant contributions.

For some reason, although these two little guys don't have the Pick-Up ability but rather do whatever they want, it's as if they have two abilities or are cheating, and they can dig up something wherever they go.

It's not so noticeable when you're in the city, but it changes when you're in the wilderness. It seemed to be the same when we were on the island with the Poseidon's Cup, where we inexplicably found a lot of supplies.

"Susu!"

Xiao Xi and Xiaomi were also energized again after feeling Lin Xuan's encouraging gaze. After all, before this, although they were in Lin Xuan's team, they always felt that they were useless.

After all, in battles, both Gallade and Eevee are stronger than him, so his greatest use is probably just helping Gallade clean the house.

But now that they feel they can help Lin Xuan, they naturally want to continue their efforts!

Then came another round of looting.

The pair of mice were very happy, feeling that they had made a contribution to Lin Xuan and that they hadn't been freeloading.

Lin Xuan was also very happy. He now understood why Daigo loved mining so much. If he could dig up something every day, he would love it too!

However, Eevee, caught between the one person and the two mice, didn't seem so happy...

"Boy!"

Why am I the one carrying all of these?!

However, Lin Xuan's digging along the way eventually led to a problem.

Because they were initially following the trail of the giant onyx, but now... they've disappeared.

That guy seemed to have run away through a hole, leaving Lin Xuan and the others disoriented.

But Lin Xuan was not flustered at all, because he felt that he might have found a better way to determine direction than the dowsing rod.

"Xiao Xi and Xiaomi, which way do you think we should go?"

Looking at the cave with no way out, Lin Xuan asked Xiao Xi and Xiao Mi directly, since it didn't matter where they went, the most important thing was to find something.

Xiao Xi and Xiaomi exchanged a glance, and then, in perfect unison, pointed to the right of Lin Xuan.

"The right side? Then this is it!"

Lin Xuan didn't hesitate at all, and the Dragon-Seeking Ruler was temporarily forgotten.

My lord, times have changed! Isn't this much better than the dowsing rod?

But before Lin Xuan could take two steps, she noticed that the marks left by the elf had reappeared on the ground not far in front of her.

"Onix?"

Lin Xuan lowered his body, frowned as he looked at the marks in front of him, and muttered in confusion.

They look somewhat similar. After all, there don't seem to be many Pokémon that can move underground and have such a large body. Even Worm wouldn't be able to do it, not to mention that there aren't many Worms in China.

But Lin Xuan quickly made a judgment: it wasn't Onix, at least not the previous Onix, because judging from its size, the Pokémon that left this mark would be at least two sizes larger.

There seem to be very few Pokémon of this size in the wild, and there seems to be only one answer... Steelix!

"Are there wild giant steel snakes here?"

Lin Xuan looked somewhat surprised.

Steelix evolved from Onix using Metal Coat. Although Metal Coat is man-made, the material is taken from minerals in nature.

This means that as long as an Onix is ​​in a suitable environment, it has a chance to evolve into Steelix directly without relying on items, which is the origin of wild Steelix.

However, such cases are ultimately rare, and wild giant steel snakes are still extremely rare.

Moreover, although wild Steelix exists, wild Scizor is rare, mainly due to its pre-evolution attributes. After all, Onix can gnaw on those ores, but Scizor can't!

Then, Lin Xuan quickly recalled what his teacher Luo Guan had said earlier: that there was a guy living here. Could it be this giant steel snake?

But judging from the teacher's tone, he hadn't been here for a long time either. Even the Steelix he encountered before was relatively weak. After so much time, even a pig wouldn't be weak, let alone one that could evolve into a Steelix in the wild on its own.

However, Lin Xuan still trusted his teacher. Since he said there would be no danger, then nothing should happen.

"Dandan?"

Xiao Dian turned to look at Lin Xuan, seemingly asking if they should continue following, since this guy's strength might not be weak.

And coincidentally, this guy's movements were basically the same as the route that Xiaoxi and Xiaomi pointed out.

However, this basically confirms that Xiaoxi and Xiaomi's decision was correct. After all, the place where Steelix lives should have a lot of mineral resources around it, and if they continue along the way, they will probably be able to dig up a lot of good things.

Since we're here to play Daigo emulator, we should naturally have a blast! Let's go!

Lin Xuan led the little ones along the way, but Xiao Xi and Xiaomi's "treasure hunting ability" seemed to have malfunctioned, and they didn't dig up anything along the way.

"Did that guy take them all beforehand?"

After thinking about it, Lin Xuan came to this conclusion, and it really was possible.

Even so, Xiaoxi and Xiaomi's "treasure hunting" intuition remained firmly pointing to their previous discovery, as if something was still hidden deep within it.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated and pulled Gallade to the side to protect herself, continuing to follow along.

"This is……"

After advancing for less than five minutes, Lin Xuan stopped because the trail that appeared to be a Steelix ended there. However, there was probably no need for that, as the Steelix had already appeared in front of Lin Xuan and his companions.

"Is this guy sleeping?"

Lin Xuan asked Xiao Dian to turn the firelight down, and then, just like a light bulb, the ball of fire on Xiao Dian's head instantly shrank, illuminating only a small area around Lin Xuan.

However, this is underground, where it is pitch black, so even this little bit of light is extremely noticeable.

However, the large steel snake seemed to be asleep and hadn't noticed, but if it were shrunk any further, Lin Xuan wouldn't be able to see it anymore.

If Lin Xuan's aura power is fully developed later, Xiao Dian won't need to do this anymore. The detection effect of aura power is no less than that of superpowers. Compared with superpowers, the only thing that aura power is inferior to is "change".

Superpowers are too mysterious, and some people's superpowers seem to be mutated, possessing abilities that ordinary superpowered individuals do not have, such as the ability to foresee the future, which is a real phenomenon.

But for Lin Xuan now, it's better to forget about it. If Steelix were brought close to his face, Lin Xuan might still be able to sense the aura, but at that point, whether it's aura or not wouldn't matter. It seems more appropriate to consider which type of urn to choose.

"Do you sense anything?"

Lin Xuan asked Xiao Xi and Xiaomi again, and just as he received their affirmative answer, the surroundings began to shake violently. The cause was that the large steel snake not far in front of Lin Xuan rolled over.

Lin Xuan was about to ask Xiao Dian to extinguish all the flames when she realized it wasn't necessary. The enormous steel snake was staring at her with wide eyes.

Judging from its size, this giant Steelix is ​​at least a three-star level, and may even be close to a four-star level. Is this what Luo Guan meant by no danger?

Moreover, such strength brings with it extremely keen perception. It sensed Lin Xuan and the others' presence almost immediately upon their approach. The cave is usually too quiet, and even the slightest sound cannot escape the ears of the giant steel snake.

"Get ready to fight!"

Lin Xuan spoke to Gallade and the others without hesitation, and Gallade stood directly in front of Lin Xuan, opening its twin blades, looking as if it had been ready for battle for a long time.

As for Eevee and Little Point, Eevee simply threw the huge pile of stones aside. Rather than carrying this pile of inedible things, he would rather fight this big, dumb guy in front of him!

"Boy!"

Come here!

Eevee used the "Taunt" move directly on Steelix, tugging at its already short claws.

However, without Lin Xuan's order, they did not launch an attack directly. Instead, the flames on Xiao Dian's head grew larger again, and Lin Xuan's gaze remained fixed on the giant steel snake.

If Steelix shows any inclination to attack first, I will immediately retaliate.

At this moment, Lin Xuan could already feel the Steelix's gaze directed in their direction, and his body immediately tensed up.

It seems this battle is unavoidable!

Then, just as Lin Xuan and Gallade were tensely preparing for battle, Steelix moved!

Lin Xuan also issued the battle order directly.

"Gallade, first... eh?"

Before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, he saw the giant steel snake, which had glanced at him earlier,... run away?

You just ran away like that!?

Don't you know how to read the room?!

Chapter 291 Mega Evolution Stone?

Steelix's escape left Lin Xuan and several Pokémon frozen in place.

If this were a weak Pokémon, it would be understandable that it would run away upon encountering them, but you're a Steelix! And you have strength close to four stars, so why the hell did you run away upon encountering them?

Even that giant Steelix was arrogant before it knew Gallade's strength. You're playing a bit unpredictably.

While Lin Xuan was in a daze, Eevee quietly flew to Lin Xuan's ear and said something.

"Buyi~"

[This guy seemed a little scared when he looked at you just now~]

"Fear?"

Lin Xuan was a little confused. This was definitely the first time she had met this guy, so why was he afraid of her?

But Eevee's senses are so sharp, and it has the added advantage of superpowers, so it shouldn't be wrong. So this guy... is he really afraid of me?
