Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

[This is absolutely unbelievable!]

Quick! Someone slap me! I must be dreaming!

Is it possible that the purpose of holding the competition is to give them a more enjoyable fight?

The truth has been revealed.

The competition was even divided into junior and youth groups... but to put it bluntly, it was one group for freshmen and another for the rest of the students. As for why it was divided like this... Lin Xuan guessed the reason.

"This junior group... never mind, let's just call it the freshman group." Lin Xuan himself is also a freshman, but if you classify him as a junior... it doesn't seem inappropriate, after all, a man is a boy until he dies!

But it still feels a bit awkward.

"The freshman group competition will be held soon, probably during the break of the championship, otherwise not many people will watch it. As for the youth group competition, it will be after the championship. After all, there are some outstanding players who participated in the championship and successfully advanced at this stage, such as our 'Super Strength Brother'. This is also to give these players time to prepare."

"But isn't this freshman group... a bit too much of a bullying tactic?"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched. Strong universities would recruit the best students, and even if some talented students failed to get in, they should at least be given some time to develop.

"So it's just that these two schools don't like each other and are preparing to fight?" Lin Xuan finally came to this conclusion. If there were some schools in the youth group that could barely compete, this junior group was purely a case of two schools not liking each other and finding an excuse to fight first to see who recruited the stronger students.

And even if they lose in the freshman competition, as long as they win in the later rounds, they can say—[Look, our freshmen might not be as good as yours, but the upperclassmen won. What does that mean? It means our school has good teaching quality! You bunch of losers!]

"Tsk, this is going to be good~" Lin Xuan chuckled, always eager for a good show.

[Cola, sunflower seeds, and bottled water are now available for sale in the front row!]

[Host, tone it down, you're laughing out loud!]

[By the way, isn't Mimikyu-sensei also studying? Didn't she participate?]

[What?! Mimikyu-sensei is still studying?!?]

"Ahem, it's a diploma mill, not worth mentioning. Thanks to SC for the Ditto's ever-changing and unpredictable style—[Will Mimikyu-sensei provide commentary?] Of course, only a fool wouldn't watch the excitement!"

"Thanks to the SC for when Kurapika disembarked - [Where's Eevee! We want to see Eevee!] We can't see it if you want, but we can call it over to do something cute for you."

After saying that, Lin Xuan ran into the living room. At that moment, Eevee was playing a game with Xiao Dian. Eevee's car in the game had just been blown up by Xiao Dian's bomb and was spinning in circles. Then, Eevee watched helplessly as Xiao Dian's car crossed the finish line.

Lin Xuan was also very curious about how these two guys could play games using their claws. It was easy for Xiao Dian to adapt, taking several days, but Eevee learned it in no time with Xiao Dian's help. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was self-taught.

"I just lost, come over here for a second."

Just as Ibrahimovic was angrily slamming the controller, Lin Xuan immediately came over and picked him up.

"Boobs?" Boobs turned to look at Lin Xuan, seemingly curious about something.

"Ahem, just being cute."

Ignoring Xiaodian's resentful gaze, Lin Xuan carried Yibu to the computer desk.

"Come on, say hello."

Lin Xuan carefully placed Ibu in front of the microphone.

"Booboo~" Eevee looked at the screen and the scrolling comments with some curiosity and said in a cute and innocent way.

【awsl!】

【so cute! 】

[Could the male viewers please move a little further away? They're affecting our live stream!]

"Ahem, do you know what Ibu meant? Let me translate it for you! Hehe~" Lin Xuan chuckled and said with great interest.

I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling about this.

[Mimi-Oka's signature villainous laugh]

"What Ibrahimovic meant was actually—I'm cute, please send me money!" Lin Xuan said in a serious tone.

【? ? ? 】

Why don't you just rob someone?

Beware of telecom fraud!

【Aaaaaaah! Don't corrupt Eevee!】

"Buy?"

Eevee, who didn't quite understand what Lin Xuan and the others were talking about, turned his head with a puzzled look, and was then put back by Lin Xuan to continue playing games with Xiao Dian.

After the casual conversation, Lin Xuan quickly got down to business. However, since the tournament hadn't started yet, the effect was slightly less than in the previous days.

The next day at noon, Lin Xuan received a call from Dr. Sun Siming, who said that the car was already at the entrance of the residential area.

Chapter 69 Qiu Mingshan Car God

Having learned from yesterday's lesson, Lin Xuan didn't send either Little Point or Eevee back into the Poké Ball this time. Instead, she brought a backpack, stuffed foam boards at the bottom to support it, and then put Eevee inside.

The only problem was that the backpack wasn't very spacious. While it wasn't impossible to squeeze into a smaller backpack, it would be too cramped. So, he simply stayed outside with Lin Xuanfei.

That's the advantage of being able to fly!

When Lin Xuan arrived at the entrance of the residential area, she immediately saw the doctor's car. It wasn't because the car was particularly eye-catching, but because Gu Yuan was waving at her from the driver's seat.

"You can sit in the back," Gu Yuan said, glancing at Eevee, whose head was half-peeking out of Lin Xuan's backpack. Dr. Sun Siming, on the other hand, sat in the passenger seat.

Lin Xuan sat in the back seat and put her backpack aside. The back seat was spacious enough that even with a little extra space, it didn't feel cramped at all.

"Brother Gu, you can drive?" Lin Xuan asked Gu Yuan in front of her after she had settled in.

"Of course, I'm the Akina Mountain racing god, buckle up." After saying that, Gu Yuan immediately stepped on the gas.

"I heard that there is a kind of Pokémon called the Moto Lizard in Spain that is very suitable as a riding Pokémon. Sitting on it is just like riding a real motorcycle. I would really like to try it if I have the chance."

Gu Yuan sighed. Lin Xuan wondered if it was because they had left the research institute, but Gu Yuan seemed to be much more talkative than before.

"So you still haven't told me where we're going?"

Lin Xuan noticed that the car seemed to be heading towards the suburbs and immediately asked.

“Besides the main building you visited before, our research institute also has a larger branch outside, mainly used to breed more Pokémon. After all, if we want to breed so many Pokémon in the city center…” Dr. Sun Siming was interrupted by Lin Xuan before he could finish speaking.

"Is it because the rent is too expensive?"

After Lin Xuan spoke, the car fell into a mysterious silence.

"This is... to allow elves to have better contact with nature, and also to benefit their development and growth. Lin Xuan, you still have a lot to learn!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Lin Xuan had no choice but to nod. "You pay my salary, whatever you say goes."

"So apart from a few important Pokémon that are kept in the research institute, most of the Pokémon we raise are cared for by dedicated staff at the breeding center. After all, our research topics are not only related to Eevee."

Seeing that Lin Xuan had finally shut up, Dr. Sun Siming continued.

"And the reason I brought you there today... should be considered good news, right?" Dr. Sun Siming said with some hesitation.

"should?"

"It's a mixed bag for the research institute, but it should be completely good news for you. I'll tell you the specifics when we get there."

Dr. Sun Siming rarely revealed his cunning side, while Eevee jumped out of the backpack and into Lin Xuan's arms.

Meanwhile, Xiaodian, who was looking out the window at the scenery, was not to be outdone and squeezed in directly.

"Don't push!" Lin Xuan said helplessly. Sometimes, even raising two cute elves doesn't seem to be a completely good thing.

"So have you decided what form Eevee should evolve into?"

Dr. Sun Siming smiled as he saw the heartwarming scene between Lin Xuan and the two elves, and then asked the question.

"Hmm... I haven't decided yet."

After thinking for a while, Lin Xuan said that he was more inclined to choose Sylveon.

First of all, Sylveon is cute. Secondly, Sylveon is cute.

In terms of potential, Sylveon is definitely not inferior to any other Eevee, not to mention that Lin Xuan's Eevee has the hidden ability Anticipation. If it evolves into Sylveon, it will become a powerful Fairy-type Eevee.

The power of this skin feature is self-evident. For example, Sylveon's Fairy skin can turn Normal-type moves into Fairy-type moves and also increase the power of the moves.

Aside from Fairy Skin, the only skin-type abilities Lin Xuan knew were Flying Skin, Electric Skin, Ice Skin, and the most unique Normal Skin. As the name suggests, Normal Skin's effect is the opposite of other abilities, turning all moves of any type into Normal.

However, although Lin Xuan is inclined to choose Sylveon, the future is not entirely certain, not to mention the conditions for Sylveon's evolution.

In the two days since Eevee hatched, perhaps because she started thinking about the future direction of Eevee's breeding, Lin Xuan discovered a problem that she had previously overlooked - is the evolution condition of these Eevee really as simple as friendship?

If it were simply a matter of friendship level evolution, other Pokémon in this world would also evolve in the same way. However, the people in this world seem to mistakenly attribute it to strength, since Pokémon becoming stronger usually comes from the careful guidance of their trainers.

How could the relationship with the trainer not be good?

So why can Munchlax evolve into Eevee but not me? Even if 99% of people choose to use an evolution stone to evolve before reaching the required friendship level, there's still 1% left, right?

Therefore, Lin Xuan had two guesses. One was that it was related to Eevee's unstable genetics. Other Pokémon that require friendship to evolve are single-evolutions, but Eevee has many branches, which increases the difficulty of achieving friendship and requires an extraordinary bond with the trainer.

As for the other one... perhaps there are other conditions besides intimacy level?

However, these were all just guesses by Lin Xuan and could not be verified, so she did not immediately go to the doctor to explain.

After all, it was never wrong to go in the direction of intimacy. Besides, it's not good to just copy the reference answer every day. Lin Xuan decided to take it slow and wait until the research on intimacy made some progress.

"This is a smaller dose of medicine."
