Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Nothing happened that night. Lin Xuan woke up from his meditation and saw Akiko with dark circles under her eyes, clearly having not slept all night.

There's no way to expect her to sleep soundly in this environment; it's really asking too much.

She admired Lin Xuan very much, wondering how she could fall asleep in such a short time, and even sleep so soundly while leaning against a big tree.

She certainly never imagined that Lin Xuan was a waveguide messenger.

However, Lin Xuan felt that Professor Oak should already know his identity as a Waveguide user.

While at Oak's lab, Eevee would occasionally have a strange feeling, as if someone was watching it.

But no matter how Eevee used its psychic powers to search, it couldn't find anyone or any Pokémon spying on it.

There's basically only one possibility: Professor Oak's lab also has a powerful Pokémon that far surpasses Eevee in strength, and to reach a level far exceeding Eevee, it must be at least legendary.

Legendary Pokémon, huh...

This is quite in line with Professor Oak's identity. In a previous casual conversation, Professor Oak mentioned that before becoming a researcher, he was a very strong trainer. However, he felt that he might be more suited to be a researcher, so he gave up the path of a trainer.

Anyway, Lin Xuan couldn't beat him, so Lin Xuan didn't expect that he would encounter the first opponent he couldn't beat as soon as he came to this world. This kind of luck... is quite outrageous.

Fortunately, Professor Oak is definitely a positive character.

Afterwards, Lin Xuan also sent Akiko to Evergreen City. In reality, it wasn't a very long distance. Even if Gallade had to take one more person, it would still be an acceptable physical exertion.

Upon arriving in Changqing City, Lin Xuan began preparations.

"The Rockets' location in Evergreen City...shouldn't it be something like an arcade?"

After thinking for a moment, the first thing that popped into Lin Xuan's mind was the arcade. And arcades can indeed be very profitable if managed well. As for competition—you're talking about business competition with the Rockets?

Do you want to die or not?

However, the first thing Lin Xuan did after arriving in Changqing City was to find the largest arcade in the area, and then a thought seemed to flash through her mind.

That's right! If I want money, I can just come here, right?

As for start-up capital, after the previous wave of Robin Hood-style redistribution, Lin Xuan was finally no longer penniless.

"Eevee!"

Lin Xuan rubbed his hands together. Back then, Chen Xiaodao could win 25 million with 20, so why couldn't he?

The God of Gamblers has superpowers, and so do I! Isn't Ibuki's superpower even stronger?

But Ibrahimovic shook his head repeatedly after hearing this.

No way, what do you take my superpowers for? Do you really think I can conjure up three out of thin air for you?

It's possible to get rid of the cards, but you can just go up and let the smaller player eat them.

"There are some game consoles and the like here, they're easy to operate. Anyway, it's all up to you in a bit. You don't want to end up sleeping on the streets tonight, do you?"

Lin Xuan chose the largest arcade in the entire Changqing City. Although there was no concrete evidence, Lin Xuan reasonably suspected that it was owned by Team Rocket.

After all, who else could snatch such a lucrative deal from the Rockets?

Lin Xuan eventually took Ibu inside. The staff saw it, but no one seemed to care.

Generally, these arcades compete for entry with special Pokémon, such as Psychic Pokémon or those with the ability of being extremely lucky.

Comparing your luck to that of a super lucky Pokémon is really unnecessary.

However, no one would be wary of an Eevee that looks harmless. Lin Xuan even had Eevee put on an adorable expression in her arms, looking innocently foolish, which made no one wary of it.

"Buyi~"

After exchanging the game tokens and taking a seat, Lin Xuan heard Eevee's voice.

The entire arcade is filled with Pokémon with super powers! They seem to be in charge of monitoring it.

This is reasonable, after all, we need to guard against someone using superpowers to cheat.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"Can you detect your superpowers?"

"Buyi~"

That probably won't work.

That Alakazam was quite strong, but compared to me, the gap was huge. As long as I was a little careful, that guy wouldn't be able to detect me.

"That's good. Just be careful."

Lin Xuan nodded and then sat down next to a game console.

"Damn it! I lost again! Is this thing targeting me?!"

One seat away from Lin Xuan sat a burly man who was angrily slamming his fist heavily on the machine in front of him. But this kind of thing was all too common in arcades.

There are always people who think they can definitely win, but in the end, it's these people who will lose everything.

As for Lin Xuan... not knowing the outcome is gambling, knowing the outcome is investing!

"Hmph, little brat, what are you looking at?"

The man seemed to notice Lin Xuan looking at him and glared back at her.

Lin Xuan does look younger, especially after she gained the power of Aura and her skin improved, making her look even younger, with that clear stupidity in Eevee's eyes.

This makes it even more believable that Lin Xuan is just a rookie trainer who has just acquired a Pokémon.

Although Ash got his Pokémon at the age of ten in the anime, it seems that this wasn't the case according to the girl named Akiko that Lin Xuan saw.

The other party was only qualified to obtain the three starter families after the age of sixteen, but thinking about it, it makes sense. Going out to adventure at the age of ten... Lin Xuan can only say that the League and the parents are really carefree. Aren't they afraid of something going wrong?

Sixteen years old would be more reasonable, and Lin Xuan's age seems to fit perfectly.

The man watched Lin Xuan's clumsy movements with a cold eye. She was clearly a complete novice! She seemed to know absolutely nothing!

Then, when he saw Lin Xuan put all his game coins in at once, his eyes widened again.

If you don't like the money, you can give it to me! There's no need to waste it like this!

Although it all comes down to luck, or even the merchants' products, these guys just think they know more. Lin Xuan ignored their urgency and just kept putting all the game coins on the card into the game, then patted Eevee's head, and finally casually pressed a button on the side.

Then the man saw that the game console had stopped rather casually, displaying three mini-dragons.

man:? ? ?

"Hey, what's the meaning of these three mini-dragons?"

Lin Xuan pretended to know nothing and asked, but in reality... he really didn't know anything.

The reason it was adjusted to this was because Ibu found that the probability of this situation occurring was very low, and thought it should be the kind of situation that would be more profitable.

Even if we fail, it's okay. At worst, we can just wait a few days and then help the poor and needy.

"This, I, this..."

The man was speechless upon seeing this, and a crowd quickly gathered around him.

"Three mini-dragons, I think that's... a hundred times, right?"

"Holy crap, someone actually managed to make this?"

"Damn, he's still just a little kid."

"A hundred times? I thought they were really giving me a mini dragon!"

Hearing the sounds around him, Lin Xuan said with some disappointment, after all, although pseudo-legendary Pokémon are precious, they are not unattainable for Team Rocket.

Lin Xuan's words completely broke the guard of the people around her, and then someone still came over curiously to ask a question.

"So kid, how much did you put in?"

"It should be only a few dozen, right?"

"What a waste!"

Lin Xuan casually picked up the card and swiped it. Team Rocket was also taking a tech-savvy approach in this regard. Then, as he headed towards the prize redemption area, he said:

"Not much, only three or four thousand."

There was nothing they could do; the guy who had previously helped the poor only had that much money on him, and he couldn't come up with any more.

Moreover, Lin Xuan felt that throwing in this much was enough; if there were any more, Team Rocket would become suspicious. But even so, in the back control room of the arcade, there was a person in uniform standing in front of the monitor with a slight frown.

"That's not right! The machine is all set up, how could it possibly award this prize at this time?"

Eiji was a bit confused. He was a minor leader in Team Rocket and was in charge of the largest arcade in Evergreen City, which was also one of the most important sources of revenue for Team Rocket.

But a strange phenomenon occurred today.

"But boss, that guy was holding an Eevee, could he be cheating? Or is there really a problem with the machine?"

One of the subordinates scratched his head and said, "After all, even Alakazam, who was monitoring the situation, didn't notice anything unusual, so it shouldn't be cheating."

Then he was glared at.

"That man was staring at this guy, watching to see how he'd behave later on."

"But boss, this person... is gone."

"Huh? They're gone?"

The leader paused for a moment, then lowered his head in thought, and finally shook his head.
