Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"So why do you know so much about these things?"

Lin Xuan almost misheard it as "Why are you so skilled at this?!", but luckily she wasn't a die-hard fan of the White Snake and reacted in time.

"Ahem, I am a researcher after all—although it's a bit of a frivolous pursuit, I still need to have some relevant knowledge."

Lin Xuan said casually, although most of this knowledge was with her when she transmigrated.

Bai Yao could only nod in agreement, and then Luo Guan continued speaking.

"So what was the new discovery from six months ago?"

Bai Yao asked Luo Guan with some curiosity, while Luo Guan calmly picked up the drink on his table and took a sip.

"We discovered humans living in that world."

Lin Xuan lowered his head; it was just as he had imagined.

Within the Ultimate Space, there exists the Ultimate Metropolis, where humans also live. Although they may be slightly different from the humans in this world, they are definitely still considered part of the human population.

"Extra... aliens?"

Bai Yao blinked, and Luo Guan nodded in agreement.

"I guess you could say that, since they speak a different language than us, which meant it took us quite a while to communicate with them smoothly, and we almost got into a fight in the process."

"Are these aliens very powerful? Do they have any alien warships? Water droplets? Two-dimensional foils?"

Bai Yao's barrage of questions left Luo Guan somewhat bewildered, and even Lin Xuan momentarily wondered if he was still in the Pokémon world.

"You actually read science fiction novels?"

Lin Xuan looked at Bai Yao with a somewhat incredulous expression, but Bai Yao simply shook her finger.

"That's impossible. I can't get into that kind of high-end stuff. I just happened to glance at that anime when it aired."

"You can actually stand watching that kind of stuff?"

"It's not bad as a comedy anime."

Luo, watching from the side, realized that the two of them had even started chatting and suddenly wondered if their conversation had unknowingly gone a little off track.

Luo Guan immediately slammed his hand on the table.

"Can you please let me finish speaking!?"

"Okay, please go ahead."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Lin Xuan and Bai Yao immediately shut their mouths and sat obediently to the side, waiting for Luo Guan to speak.

It can only be said that for Bai Yao, only Luo Guan has a certain deterrent effect. It would be impossible for anyone else to make her so obedient!

Seeing that the two had finally quieted down, Luo Guan nodded before continuing his story.

"Actually, it's not that complicated. After we made contact with those people, we found that they didn't have any aggressive intentions like the aliens in many novels. They were more peace-loving, and in terms of strength, they weren't stronger than our world."

Lin Xuan listened from the side, but felt that the most important thing was not peace or not wanting to invade, but the last sentence: "No one is as strong as us."

Ultimate Metropolis certainly has the strength, but compared to this world, it might still be a bit difficult. Putting aside everything else, Lin Xuan felt that just his own advisor alone might be enough to give the people of Ultimate Metropolis a hard time.

Because of the environmental issues there, any normal person would not think of invasion. The same is true for Metropolis; they just want to restore their world to its original state.

Then Luo Guan began to tell Bai Yao and Lin Xuan about the classic myths and legends of the Ultimate Metropolis.

They were simply abandoned by Necrozma and lost all their light, and now they want to find their original light again.

But Lin Xuan has only one assessment of this matter—he brought it upon himself.

However, it seems that Ultimate Metropolis now has some intention to cooperate with the alliance of this world.

After making contact, they also learned that this world possessed even greater military power, possibly even stronger than those Ultra Beasts.

It's worth noting that even they struggled against Ultra Beasts, but the League has seen more than one trainer who can contend with, or even defeat, those Ultra Beasts.

However, those guys were a bit stubborn; they didn't care about anything else, they were single-mindedly focused on finding Necrozma, finding the original light, and restoring the Ultimate Space to its original state.

"So—it was a world without light? How did they survive?"

Bai Yao raised a very constructive question, so scientific that Lin Xuan didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

What else can I say? We're in the Pokémon world, and you're still thinking about science? Even scientific theories don't work!

"Well... I don't know much about that."

Luo Guan was stumped by the question. He wasn't a researcher in charge of these things, so how would he know how that world worked?

Could there be other energy sources?

However, what is certain is that although the trainers in Ultra Metropolis are not as strong as those in the real world, their technology is more advanced and more cutting-edge.

The technology tree is more normal than this world's, and there are even small spaceships that can fly quickly in ultimate space.

"And in the Ultimate Space, there isn't just the Ultimate Metropolis, a place where life exists. There are many scattered small worlds, like secret realms. Although they are small, they contain abundant resources, which may be why they were able to survive."

Luo Guan thought to himself, while Lin Xuan leaned back in her chair, roughly knowing what she was there to do.

So you want me to come over?

Luo Guan smiled after hearing this. Compared to Bai Yao, who was still looking completely bewildered, Lin Xuan's brain development was indeed better. Of course, Bai Yao couldn't hear this, otherwise she would definitely bring up the matter of Lin Xuan's poor cerebellar development again.

"That's right. They mainly obtain resources from those worlds, but the existence of Ultra Beasts makes their actions extremely dangerous. Those creatures roam the Ultra Space all day long, especially one called the Gluttonous King. Given enough time, it could even devour an entire world."

Luo Guan said seriously.

"So you want us to go over and help?"

"That's pretty much the idea. Recently, Ultra Beasts have become more and more active for some reason. It's not enough to deal with them on their own, so we need powerful trainers to help. At least Master level is required."

Seemingly knowing that Lin Xuan wanted to ask about life, Luo Guan spoke up before Lin Xuan could even ask the question:

"And it's not without its advantages. Not only in the Ultimate Metropolis, but you can also obtain a lot of resources in that world, which you can take as you please."

"Take whatever you like?"

"Uh... don't take too much."

Seeing the light in Lin Xuan's eyes, Luo Guan swallowed back the three words he was about to say, thinking he should remind her.

However, since they were there to help, it's not a problem for them to receive some compensation in advance. This was also part of the specific agreement negotiated between the League and the Ultimate Metropolis.

"Can I go?"

Bai Yao, who was standing to the side, put her hands on the table and looked at Luo Guan, but Luo Guan immediately and firmly denied her.

"Impossible! Don't even think about it!"

Luo Guan spoke directly, then, seeing Bai Yao's still somewhat unconvinced look, he sighed and said:

"It's not that I don't want you to go, it's just that your strength isn't enough. Those Ultra Beasts, once they reach adulthood, are at least Master level, which is even more terrifying than the Zapdos and Moltres family. Their potential is so high, you'd better not go and join the fun."

"I think if I go all out, I can still put up a fight."

Bai Yao defended herself in a low voice.

That's actually true. If Bai Yao were to encounter a five-star Pokémon on her own, she would be able to handle it.

Seeing that Luo Guan still showed no sign of wanting to agree, Bai Yao pointed directly at Lin Xuan to the side.

"Isn't Lin Xuan still here? He can protect me!"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched as she was forcibly dragged over. "You only start thinking of me now that it's something like this?"

"Um……"

Hearing Bai Yao's words, even Luo Guan began to waver.

He learned about Lin Xuan's current strength from his teacher, and that he could even fight against Pokémon of semi-legendary level. Even if he himself faced him, it would be difficult to defeat him quickly.

It's important to know that after gaining Mega Evolution, combined with its Aura power, Lucario was able to enter legendary realms for a considerable period of time.

Luo Guan was even confident that if he were to face Suijun again, he would never lose so badly, and the outcome might even be uncertain!

"Is there anyone else besides me?"

"Of course there are. It's impossible for just a junior like you to go in. There's also me, and your friend Zhong Mingyi. As for the other people who went in this time—there shouldn't be many. At most, there might be one or two more, all of whom are masters."

"Zhong Mingyi went too?"

"Of course, he was the champion of the previous tournament. Even if you won the match and faced him last year, you might not be able to beat him."

To be fair, Zhong Mingyi should be considered the most prestigious champion in recent years. Although Lin Xuan is no less capable of winning the championship than Zhong Mingyi, the problem is that Lin Xuan's championship can indeed be said to have been given up to some extent.

Therefore, there is still some skepticism surrounding his championship win.

Although no one doubts Lin Xuan's ability, in terms of the quality of his achievements, he is indeed slightly inferior to Zhong Mingyi.

Lin Xuan was even thinking about whether to participate in the competition again next year. After all, although he won this time, he was still a little unhappy. He wanted to go back next year and give those newcomers a good thrashing.

Although it's a bit unethical, it seems quite fun!

"So there are already so many people, one more of me shouldn't be a big problem. It's also a good opportunity to gain some experience!"

Bai Yao lay directly on the table and looked at Luo Guan, blinking her eyes, unusually entering a coquettish state, which Luo Guan found most irresistible.

In the end, he could only reluctantly agree.

“I’ll go ask the league. Logically speaking, you are the runner-up in this competition, so you should still be qualified.”
