Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Speaking of which, don't I have a few students here?"

As Lin Xuan swiped her card and entered the dojo, she muttered to herself.

I wonder how my students are doing. They also have a group chat, which Lin Xuan just checked. It's very lively. I don't know why, even though it's just a group chat with a few people, it's sometimes more lively than a group chat with dozens of people.

Lin Xuan also learned that these people had recently gone to other schools and teams in surrounding cities with other students from the dojo to exchange and spar with each other.

Of course, that's just a polite way of putting it; to put it bluntly, he went to challenge them.

[Damn it, why did you come back at this time, Mimikyu-sensei?]

[So, Mr. Mimiu, how long have you been absent? I almost forgot you were even our coach.]

I think I heard the owner of Zhongmingyi Museum say before that he was ready to remove you from your position at any time.

[Don't worry, Teacher Mimiqiu, we're sweeping Yunlan School's team right now, making you proud!]

Lin Xuan's lips twitched. He could only hope that these guys wouldn't mention his name when they challenged the school. He didn't want to be blacklisted by another school.

After reading his students' comments, even Lin Xuan felt a little embarrassed, since he had indeed been away for too long and had not fulfilled his duties as a coach.

[Ahem, I'll definitely be back later]

Lin Xuan didn't give a definitive answer, after all, even he himself didn't know when he would be back, but his return was certain, and that was all he could say.

After Lin Xuan said that, the other people in the group all raised question marks.

At the same time, one can only sigh that Lin Xuan has become increasingly shameless since he left for so long.

Lin Xuan then stopped paying attention to the disappearance in the group and went straight inside. She was already very familiar with the dojo, and even the security guards standing outside were the same people as before. They were even a little surprised when they saw Lin Xuan.

Their faces seemed to say: "You finally know to come to work?"

As Lin Xuan walked in, she contacted Song Chen. Song Chen quickly came out to meet Lin Xuan, and the two met in the courtyard in the middle of the dojo.

"And then, uh?"

Lin Xuan asked Song Chen, because he didn't know how to proceed with the next steps and had to ask Song Chen.

"Your Pokémon should all be fine, right?"

As he spoke, Song Chen glanced at Xiao Dian next to Lin Xuan and Eevee in his arms. These two just loved to stick to Lin Xuan.

Actually, this spot originally belonged to Poipoof. Before Lin Xuan left, that guy had been trying to get out of the Poké Ball, seemingly because he slept too much yesterday and wasn't sleepy today. He just wanted to run outside, especially to take the spot from Eevee.

Lin Xuan had to persuade him for a long time before he agreed to stay in the Poké Ball. It wasn't that Lin Xuan didn't want him to come out, but Poison Baby's identity meant that he couldn't be exposed to the public eye for a while.

Given Lin Xuan's current fame, if he were to be accompanied by a Pokémon he'd never seen before, it would instantly spread throughout the world.

If it were a regular Pokémon like Sylveon that hadn't been discovered yet, it wouldn't matter much even if it were exposed. The main issue is that Pokémon Baby is an Ultra Beast.

Even though he was a quasi-god, Lin Xuan dared to hold him outside.

"no problem."

Lin Xuan answered Song Chen's question directly.

"Boy!"

【no problem! 】

Eevee, also quite spirited, said that she felt this time it should be an adventure, right?

The previous two tournaments, whether it was the Poseidon Cup or the one outside Jinhui City, ended too soon without us having enough fun. This time, we're definitely going to have a blast!

"Let's go then."

After saying that, he pulled Lin Xuan outside, leaving Lin Xuan somewhat bewildered.

"So it's not in the dojo?"

"No, did I say that?"

"Then why did you call me here!?"

"Isn't it because it's close by?"

Song Chen said casually, but instead of going through the main entrance where Lin Xuan had just entered, they went through the back entrance of the Jianghai City Dojo.

Because this place is relatively remote, and it only leads to a small alley, hardly anyone usually comes and goes from here. When Lin Xuan and his group walked out, they didn't even encounter many people.

After leaving the dojo, Song Chen didn't say much and continued walking to the side. Lin Xuan could only follow. The Jianghai City Dojo wasn't located in the center of Jianghai City, and there was a river that almost ran through the entire city right next to it.

Although it's in the city, the river is still very clear, seemingly because of the high level of attention paid to sanitation. You can even see several carp leaping out of the water from the bridge.

Besides these, there are also quite a few Water-type Pokémon, such as the Psyduck next to it that seems to have gotten lost after coming out of the water, and it took a while to finally find its way back.

Song Chen brought Lin Xuan here and then took out a Poké Ball.

"Go through here!?"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched, clearly having guessed something, while Song Chen nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"It's not allowed to pass through the sky, and it's most convenient here."

After saying that, he threw the Poké Ball in his hand, and what appeared in his hand was a Lapras.

In principle, Flying-type Pokémon are not allowed to carry people over the city, and if they are discovered doing so, it would be a violation of the League's laws.

Of course, there are very few exceptions. For example, Zhong Mingyi, as a gym leader, has some privileges because he often needs to carry out emergency missions from the League.

Even Lin Xuan obviously wouldn't have this privilege if it were someone else, which is why Song Chen chose to travel by water. Moreover, Laplace is recognized as the best water-based Pokémon.

However, Lin Xuan still asked Song Chen a question:

"Can I use my own Pokémon?"

"Hey, do you have any Water-type Pokémon?"

"Yes, I caught one not long ago." Lin Xuan nodded and then took out a Gyarados Poké Ball.

"It should be fine." Song Chen agreed without any doubt, then asked curiously again, "What kind of Water-type Pokémon did you catch?"

"Gyarados".

"..."

Song Chen swallowed back all the words he wanted to say, then pressed down on Lin Xuan's hand and the Poké Ball in it, forcing a smile before saying:

"How about I ride in my Laplace instead?"

"Tsk, that works too."

Actually, Lin Xuan was just teasing Song Chen; she didn't really intend to release Gyarados.

After all, Gyarados is different from Lapras. Most people who see a Lapras on the roadside will just think, "How cute!" or "Where did this Lapras come from?"

However, things might be different if you see Gyarados. After all, Gyarados's brutal image is quite deeply ingrained in people's minds, and even Lin Xuan has to admit that Gyarados doesn't have a good reputation among the public.

Wild Gyarados will attack anyone they see and also have a strong desire to destroy buildings.

In the end, Lin Xuan and Song Chen sat on Laplace. Lin Xuan had initially thought that with so many spikes on Laplace's shell, it might be uncomfortable to sit on, but now she realized she was wrong.

Although it has thorns, they are scattered in a relatively open area, and Lin Xuan even felt that they were just enough to support her body. No wonder so many people think that Lapras is the best water mount Pokémon.

Furthermore, don't be misled by some of Laplace's performances in the animation and games. Although it may not be as fast as Megalodon, it is definitely not slow. Lin Xuan felt the scenery rushing past him as he sat on it.

But while maintaining speed, it was also quite stable, completely unlike the feeling Lin Xuan had when riding the fire-breathing dragon at the Yulong family.

For this reason alone, Lin Xuan has to give Song Chen a good review.

"How long will it take?"

Because Laplace had enough space, Lin Xuan lay down directly. However, this time he didn't even ask where they were going, but directly asked when they would arrive.

"Hmm...it will probably take a few more hours, it's a bit far."

"Should we travel by water?"

"Correct."

This reminded Lin Xuan of the feeling when playing games, except that he wondered if he would ever meet a bikini-clad girl.

Chapter 359 Tide Whirl

Even if those bikini-clad girls used Pokémon to stop him, and then a battle ensued as soon as they locked eyes, Lin Xuan felt it was perfectly acceptable.

However, this idea is obviously going to fail, since no one would want to spend all day at sea training, and even if they did want to train, they wouldn't choose a place like this.

After all, it's still quite dangerous here. Many times, Pokémon can't take care of their trainers while battling. If it were on land, during a fierce battle, the problem could be solved by simply staying away.

But there's nowhere to hide on the sea.

Therefore, if safety is the priority, the best option is to avoid places with powerful Pokémon, but then there will be no training effect, which is a contradiction in itself.

There are many training methods; there is absolutely no need to put yourself at risk.

Lin Xuan didn't know how long she had been sitting on Laplace's back, but she could feel that they were gradually swimming towards the outer sea. At Laplace's speed, they quickly swam out of Jianghai City along the river.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan's cell phone had a signal during this time, so she wasn't left with nothing to do.

Otherwise, even if Song Chen and Lin Xuan were good at chatting, they wouldn't have been able to talk for that long.

Compared to Lin Xuan's leisurely pace, Song Chen seemed much more bored. He would sit on Laplace's back from time to time, gazing into the distance, and then occasionally glancing in Lin Xuan's direction.

The expression on his face said it all; it was practically screaming: Why haven't you come and asked me yet?!
