Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

It should be noted that the invalidation of this attribute only exists when the difference in strength is not significant, or in other more special circumstances.

Small clearly belongs to the latter category. Although his strength is significantly greater than Nidoking and Nidoqueen, it is not to an absurd degree. Therefore, there is only one answer—the electric current containing the power of Reggie and Zapdos has a power level that far exceeds that of Nidoking and the others.

Even if Little Dot were to face the Registeel directly now, it wouldn't be afraid at all. Even without using its strongest move, Little Dot felt it still had a chance of winning.

But Xiaodian and Linxuan could understand that this kind of thing really overturned Nidoking and Nidoqueen's understanding, and in their perception, why was this electric grid so strong?

It looks fragile and like it would break at the slightest touch, but it's actually impossible to tear apart.

While this smaller version of the Thunder Cage is somewhat inferior to the original Regice's, and could even be considered child's play, it's still a game-changer for most Pokémon.

Meanwhile, Eevee, who had been thrown out by Lin Xuan, was not idle either. However, she was more like an insurance agent. While Xiao Dian was fighting over there, Eevee's task was to desperately use Meditation to stack up the level of her support power.

Thanks to the unique nature of its auxiliary power, even though Eevee is slightly weaker than Nidoking and Nidoqueen, it can still fight.

It's a pity that Eevee has fewer ways to enhance its abilities, such as meditation and self-motivation.

Even with just that, it's enough when combined with auxiliary power.

What Lin Xuan really wanted was the Z-Move. Eevee's Z-Move, Ascendance, would greatly enhance all of Eevee's abilities at the same time. Combined with support power—it would be practically invincible!

Unfortunately, Lin Xuan had been paying close attention to the situation in Alola, but he hadn't heard of any Z-Moves. There wasn't even a legend about Z-Moves there. Even if Lin Xuan wanted to investigate, he couldn't find a starting point.

Therefore, research on Z-Moves had to be put on hold for now, no, it was shelved before it even came to fruition!

At this moment, Nidoking and Nidoqueen were basically being held back by Tiny. Tiny's electric net, enhanced by the Thunder Cage, was practically a bug, and both Nidoking and Nidoqueen needed some time to break free.

But just as it broke free from the previous layer, another smaller power grid came down.

As a result, the two Pokémon were trapped inside the electric grid and could only passively take hits.

Even though the electric grid controlled them, Little Point's attack methods were still limited. After all, they were five-star Pokémon, incredibly tough. Little Point fought for a long time, but the two Pokémon still hadn't fallen. However, they seemed a bit calmer than before.

Sure enough, having force can make the other side sit down and reason with you.

Meanwhile, Eevee had also finished his meditation, and his psychic powers had been enhanced to the extreme. Even without Lin Xuan's help, the psychic gem on his forehead could not be controlled and appeared.

With Eevee's intervention, neither King nor Queen Nidoran had any room to struggle and were beaten to a pulp.

The two Pokémon tried to dig a hole to escape, but the smaller electric fence not only blocked the visible ground but also locked down the underground space, which is why it can be called a "lightning cage"!

The ultimate form of the Lightning Cage skill is like Reggie Elegy, which can even seal off space itself.

Before long, Nidoking and Nidoqueen couldn't withstand the beating from the two little guys and fell to the ground in surrender. Only then did Lin Xuan slowly walk up and couldn't help but curl her lips as she looked at Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

"I came here with the intention of having a proper discussion! Why does it have to be a fight? So now let's talk about two things. One is why you're chasing me. I just arrived here and haven't done anything yet! As for the second thing—that's to talk about compensation for the emotional distress caused by the fight just now."

King Nido and Queen Nido wanted to curse. "You're the one who beat us up, and now you want to ask us for compensation for emotional distress?"

Because Lin Xuan directly uses waveguides to transmit messages, even unfamiliar terms are not beyond her comprehension.

Lin Xuan's message was simple—pay up! It doesn't have to be anything too valuable, just the poison needles on your bodies will do.

But compared to that, Lin Xuan was still very curious about one thing: why were these two guys chasing after him? Although Nidoking and Nidoqueen's family had never been known for their bad tempers, it shouldn't have come to this extent, right?

Moreover, judging from our brief chat, Nidoking and Nidoqueen seem to be in good mental condition and don't appear capable of doing something like this.

After this was mentioned, King Nidoran and Queen Nidoran roared at Lin Xuan, their eyes seemingly regaining their previous blood red color, as if they were about to attack Lin Xuan at any moment.

Eevee and Tiny immediately stood in front of Lin Xuan. Even though Lin Xuan's Aura power was not weak, these were five-star Pokémon. Without them, Lin Xuan could easily crush Nidoking and Nidoqueen with one hand.

But Lin Xuan immediately understood the meaning behind their angry roar and frowned.

"A child? Nidolan? I've never seen him before!"

King Nidoki and Queen Nidoki's child is missing! This is the reason for their previous outburst of anger, because the child is extremely important to both King Nidoki and Queen Nidoki, and if nothing unexpected happens, this is their first and only child.

The main reason lies in one thing, something that the vast majority of people cannot understand.

That means Nidoran becomes an Undiscovered group after evolving, which means it can no longer lay eggs, implying that the entire Nidoran family are lolicon...

Whether it's Nidoking or Nidorino, they can only reproduce by going to Nidoran, which is indeed a bit speechless.

During the conversation, Lin Xuan also learned that due to the special circumstances of the Road to Champions, coupled with the special methods they used, Nidolan's birth time was delayed considerably.

So Nidolan was actually only a few days old, but under these circumstances, she disappeared, and a large pit was found where she disappeared, indicating that she was taken away by someone.

Enraged, King Nido and Queen Nido dug directly into the hole inside and came out to find Lin Xuan.

Naturally, it was no surprise that Lin Xuan was the murderer.

This left Lin Xuan speechless; was she taking the blame for another Pokémon?

Finally, after Lin Xuan's series of explanations, King Nido and Queen Nido finally believed what Lin Xuan said.

Because while the two of them might not be the brightest minds, they both firmly believed in one principle: in the Pokémon world, the strong ultimately prevail, and given Lin Xuan's strength, there was absolutely no need for him to deceive them under these circumstances.

There were much simpler and more direct methods, but Lin Xuan didn't choose to do so, which is one of the reasons why the two Pokémon trusted Lin Xuan.

"Take me there and see, maybe we'll find something."

Lin Xuan clapped his hands and stood up, saying that the lightning cage that had been surrounding Nidoking and Nidoqueen had disappeared.

Even so, it doesn't mean that Lin Xuan and Xiao Dian completely trust Nidoking and Nidoqueen. Xiao Dian and Eevee still floated next to Lin Xuan, and even Gallade was watching Nidoking and Nidoqueen's movements at all times.

After being beaten up like that by Tiny and Eevee, Nidoking and Nidoqueen might not be a match for Gallade if they were to fight now.

Fortunately, the two Pokémon didn't have that idea and led Lin Xuan directly to the edge of the cave.

"These are... marks left by a dragon-headed gopher!"

Lin Xuan thought about the Pokémon that might live in the vicinity and finally confirmed that it seemed to be only the Excadrill family. Moreover, the hole that was dug was indeed very suitable for Excadrill's size, just big enough to pass through, only slightly smaller.

It's possible that this dragon-headed gopher is underdeveloped, which is quite normal.

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, King Nidoran and Queen Nidoran were once again thrown into a frenzy.

Dragon-headed ground squirrels? Although there are also groups of dragon-headed ground squirrels living in this area, they are not very strong. This is considered their territory, and the dragon-headed ground squirrels usually don't even dare to come here. Where would they get the guts to steal their children?

King and Queen Nidoran were instantly enraged. They usually had little contact with the Excadrill's clan, otherwise they would have recognized them at first glance.

More than anything, I was blinded by concern. After chasing after him, I didn't think much about it and immediately mistook Lin Xuan for the murderer the moment I saw him.

However, according to King and Queen Nido, they cannot be entirely blamed.

Lin Xuan was indeed acting suspiciously at that time. Anyone who saw her would have been suspicious, right?

Not to mention the timing of this incident; it would be a miracle if Lin Xuan didn't become a suspect.

Lin Xuan was speechless. How was he acting so suspiciously? Although he did have some ulterior motives, wasn't that all in the past?

However, even though Lin Xuan was thick-skinned, he didn't dare to refute anything in this matter. After all, even Xiao Dian and the others who were standing nearby thought that Lin Xuan did look sneaky at the time!

"There seem to be some traces here; we can follow them."

Without dwelling on her previous performance, Lin Xuan pointed to the marks near the cave and said, "They were clearly left by a Pokémon, and not long ago."

The sandstorms here are quite severe, but fortunately there are some sparse oases nearby, which have improved the soil quality and allowed these traces to remain.

Nidoran scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. He hadn't noticed this before, mainly because he was too impatient and rushed straight at Lin Xuan as soon as he saw him.

Lin Xuan didn't seem to care, and continued pointing at the mark as she spoke:

"Not too much time has passed, there should still be some traces left."

Lin Xuan and Yi Bu used their wave guide and superpowers to search the surrounding area and soon found traces of the "culprit" when he left.

There were two sets of footprints, one large and one small.

It's hard to tell from the larger ones, and Lin Xuan doesn't know much about Pokémon footprints, but it's most likely Excadrill, as they are very similar.

As for the smaller set, King Nidoran and Queen Nidoran directly pointed out that these were indeed their child's footprints!

"That's good. Let's keep searching here; we should find something." Lin Xuan nodded, then asked Nidoking and Nidoqueen:

Do you know where the Dragonhead Mole family's lair is?

Nidoking pointed without hesitation in the direction the footprints were pointing, while Lin Xuan took a deep breath.

"Then there shouldn't be any mistake. Let's go."

Lin Xuan led Eevee directly in the direction of the footprints, and sure enough, they soon found the pit that had just been dug.

If you keep looking here, you should find it soon.

Lin Xuan didn't say much. He directly used his Aura to explore the cave below and chased after Nidoking and Nidoqueen. This made Nidoking and Nidoqueen a little embarrassed.

After all, they were chasing Lin Xuan before, and now they need Lin Xuan's help to find their child, and the other party is being so enthusiastic.

Little did they know, all of this was exactly what Lin Xuan had anticipated!

Chapter 459 I've been waiting for you!

In Lin Xuan's opinion, I'm helping you find your child with such enthusiasm now, so it shouldn't be too much for me to ask you for a few poison needles after your child is found, right?

At least that's what Lin Xuan thought. Although it would take some time, Lin Xuan wasn't an unreasonable person; she valued a fair and equivalent exchange.

Even Lin Xuan felt that the other party had completely benefited.

After all, it was just a relatively insignificant poison needle, and they were able to find their child. It was such a great deal. As for what would happen if Lin Xuan refused to give the child back after finding him—then Lin Xuan would have to send Xiao Dian up to reason with them again.

He is a very reasonable person, but if the other party doesn't want to be reasonable—Lin Xuan will force them to be reasonable!

Lin Xuan and Nidoking followed the trail, sometimes intermittently, but they still found clues. They even found a large number of footprints, which were very messy but were indeed left by the two Pokémon from before.

One is a Nidoran, and the other should be a Dragon Head Gopher.
