Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"It would be too dangerous for you to follow me in that kind of environment, so I..."

"You should have told me! If you'd said a few more words, I would have left on my own! Do I look like the kind of person who won't listen to advice?"

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, but the answer was already obvious, so Bai Yao could only remain silent as well.

"So why did you come back so quickly?"

Bai Yao glanced at the time; it didn't seem like too long had passed since Lin Xuan knocked her unconscious and brought her back.

"We've explored the area a bit and found out where Sidran is, but... we still need to find a way to lure him out."

"why?"

As Bai Yao asked, she reached for the table next to her, where there was a plate of food; she was also a little hungry.

But after seeing the fried fish, she decisively withdrew her hand and took out potato chips from her backpack again—of course, not her own, but borrowed from Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan explained it to the girl briefly, since it seemed unlikely that she could figure it out on her own.

"So you want that guy to come out on his own as much as possible?"

"Yes, but we still can't think of a solution, and even if we manage to get him out, it seems like we can't beat him!"

Lin Xuan now regrets why she brought Bai Yao instead of Zhong Mingyi.

If it were Zhong Mingyi, he could at least be of some help in a fight. His Dodo King's abilities would be quite formidable in team battles, especially in situations like ganging up on someone.

Although it wasn't Zhong Mingyi who was a little upset, at least it wasn't Long Xing, otherwise he would have been even more of a heavyweight.

Lin Xuan noticed that Bai Yao seemed to be deep in thought, and didn't want to disturb her for the time being. Although she didn't think Bai Yao could come up with any good ideas, she decided to just let her pass the time.

"It's getting late, I'm going back to rest."

Lin Xuan casually said this and walked out of the room. Bai Yao simply nodded, seemingly still lost in thought.

On her way back to her room, Lin Xuan was thinking about whether to go live and play some games, but she quickly slapped her forehead.

There's a time difference between here and China, so it's probably still late at night there. Even if I did a live stream, I doubt anyone would watch, so I might as well just let it go.

But when Lin Xuan walked into the room and turned on the light, just as she was about to open her arms and lie down, she was startled.

"Is there any way?"

The sound came from the side, and the Pope, dressed in a white robe, was looking at Lin Xuan with a smile. Lin Xuan was so frightened that she almost had a heart attack.

"Phew~ If you do this a few more times, I'll be scared to death."

Lin Xuan patted his chest. Because of his own Aura and Eevee's psychic abilities, Lin Xuan had never expected that there would be someone in his room. He was naturally startled when he was caught off guard.

The Pope didn't say much about this, but the smile on his face gave Lin Xuan a feeling—why did this old man seem to be enjoying himself?

This behavior is unbecoming of your status!

"Why are you here?"

Lin Xuan did not answer the previous question, but instead asked a question in return.

"It's not far. I just came to take a look around. Consider it an after-dinner stroll."

Lin Xuan was speechless. "Your hometown doesn't seem to be very close to here. Can this be considered a casual visit?"

"Your after-dinner walk was quite far!"

Chapter 511 Say hello

After hearing Lin Xuan's question, the old man scratched his head, as if even he knew that this explanation was somewhat untenable.

I don't know why, but even though things were better before, today I could vaguely sense a bit of my cheap advisor's feeling from this person.

It feels just like the same old pitfall!

Perhaps because he had been scammed so many times, Lin Xuan was quite perceptive about this matter. Now, looking at the old man in front of him, he had a feeling of "Are you trying to scam me?"

"There's not much I can do. Even if we fight, I'd most likely lose, not to mention the volcano factor."

Lin Xuan nodded directly, then looked at the old man.

"Why don't you just take action yourself? That Heatran shouldn't be a match for you, right?"

At that time, his advisor didn't even release any Pokémon; just standing there made Suicune a little nervous, which was enough to show his strength.

And this person in front of me, even if he is a little weaker than my teacher, shouldn't he be that much weaker?

But the other person just smiled and shook their head.

"I've already said, only you can do this."

"why?"

Lin Xuan was puzzled. All he wanted was a fragment of the stone tablet. What difference did it make whether he got it or someone else got it?

"It's not because of that test you mentioned again, is it?"

Lin Xuan thought this to himself, but he didn't stop talking and addressed the Pope directly.

"Of course not, there are many other reasons."

"what is that?"

"It's not important, just go and get it."

"Cut~"

Lin Xuan pursed her lips. In terms of being a riddle teller, she was quite similar to her advisor. They both spoke in a way that was not human.

Seemingly having discerned Lin Xuan's thoughts, the Pope suddenly spoke;

Do you think I'm a very strong trainer?

"Is not it?"

The old man shook his head, then showed it around under Lin Xuan's gaze.

"I didn't even have any Poké Balls with me, so of course I'm not a Pokémon Trainer."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan froze for a moment. No matter what, he never expected that the Pope in front of him was not even a trainer.

The main reason was that Lin Xuan had a preconceived notion that this number one superhuman in the world must be a trainer.

But who could have imagined it would turn out like this?

Seemingly sensing that Lin Xuan was somewhat skeptical, the old man continued to explain.

"No one stipulates that a person with superpowers must be a trainer, right?"

"That's right..."

That's certainly true, but in today's world, even ordinary people usually catch one or two Pokémon as partners, since this is a world shared by humans and Pokémon.

"I have my responsibilities, and you have yours. Trainers and stuff... I'm not interested."

The other party dismissed Lin Xuan with just a simple "I'm not interested," but it sounded like there was some truth to it.

After all, it seems that anything can be explained by simply saying "I'm not interested."

What are your responsibilities?

Lin Xuan asked instinctively, and then felt a flick on the head.

With that sudden slap on the forehead, Lin Xuan felt as if he were facing his own advisor.

That old guy used to beat himself like that.

"Alright, alright, stop asking so many questions. Let's think about how to deal with that Heatran. Although I have the ability to foresee the future, you don't think I can beat that kind of guy, do you?"

The old man chuckled, and Lin Xuan, who was standing to the side, was also speechless. Then he casually asked again;

"What about my advisor? He must have been a trainer, right?"

"Him? That's right, he's not only a trainer, but a natural-born trainer."

At this point, the Pope gave Lin Xuan a deep look.

"Just like you."

"still have a question."

"Go ahead."

"Is it necessary to obtain the stone tablet fragments from Sidora's side right now?"

Lin Xuan asked casually, but he was also a little thirsty from talking too much, so he picked up a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down.

Then the Pope gave Lin Xuan an unexpected answer.

"No, actually I just told you to come and get it when you have time or when you are stronger."

The Pope shook his head, and Lin Xuan nearly choked on a mouthful of mineral water.

"Cough cough cough! Who are you? Shall I come over here now?"

"This wasn't arranged by me! You came here of your own accord!"

"But the visa... that was arranged by your alliance, it has nothing to do with me."

It's a trap! A trap everywhere! One step, another trap!
