Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

The receptionist's attention was immediately drawn to Eevee in Lin Xuan's arms.

There's no way around it, Eevee is already adorable, and this guy even goes out of his way to be cute. Who can resist that?

"No problem! Just register here!"

The receptionist immediately handed over a registration form and took Lin Xuan's trainer qualification certificate.

During this process, Lin Xuan's gaze openly swept across the entire dojo.

As a novice trainer who has never seen anything like this before, it's not unreasonable for me to just take a look, right?

"The Evergreen City Dojo is really big!"

"Of course! Even in the entire Kanto region, our Evergreen Dojo is one of the largest dojos."

The receptionist seemed quite proud when she talked about this place.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan understood that the young lady in front of him was probably not a member of Team Rocket, but most likely an employee of the Evergreen City Gym arranged by the League.

This is quite normal, but who would have thought that Giovanni, the Gym Leader of Viridian City, would be the leader of Team Rocket?

Even the League of Legends' Dodo probably couldn't have imagined this.

"Hey, you're a newbie trainer?"

The young woman said with some surprise after seeing Lin Xuan's information.

"Our gym is actually not suitable for novice trainers, as it might be quite difficult!"

"It's okay, I just wanted to challenge myself. If I fail, I'll go to another gym."

Lin Xuan explained with a smile, and just then, a girl's voice came from behind him, making him freeze in place.

"Mr. Lin Xuan!"

The person who came was Yaxi, the girl Lin Xuan had saved the day before yesterday. She was running excitedly to Lin Xuan.

"You're here because..."

Lin Xuan's eyes widened. He never expected to run into this girl here, but it seemed... a bit out of place!

"Of course, it's the gym challenge! I heard that new trainers weren't allowed to challenge here for a while, but now that it's open, I definitely have to come and check it out. But I've heard that the challenges here are very difficult, so I'm not very confident!"

"Akiko said with some concern," Lin Xuan said, and then pulled her directly to the receptionist.

Okay, kid! Enough with the talking!

Actually, Lin Xuan was quite worried that this girl talked too much, after all, she knew her own strength and was definitely not just a novice trainer.

"Please wait a moment, you two. Once the challengers ahead come out, you can go in."

Right after the young lady finished speaking, Lin Xuan thought about it for a moment and then realized...

Akiko's sudden appearance seems to be a good thing?

While she was doing the challenge, she had a good reason to stay at the Evergreen Dojo for a while longer than before.

But it still needs to be smaller, because I don't know if Boss Sakaki is actually there.

"So our opponent is Gym Leader Giovanni?"

Lin Xuan asked with some curiosity, like a novice trainer, and the girl opposite him replied very enthusiastically.

One reason is that Eevee in Lin Xuan's arms is indeed very cute, and another is because—Lin Xuan is very handsome! It just goes to show that good looks are very useful in situations like this.

While waiting to go in for the challenge, Lin Xuan pulled Ya Xizi aside.

There's no other way; I have to speak up beforehand, otherwise I might give myself away in no time.

"Hey, Mr. Lin Xuan, you haven't even finished challenging all the dojos yet?"

Akiko asked, seemingly a little puzzled, and Lin Xuan could only reply, "Good question! Now it's my turn to perform!"

"Actually, I already got all eight gym badges, but this is my first time at the Viridian Gym, so I thought I'd give my newly caught Pokémon a try."

Lin Xuan was able to convince them in this way, and in Lin Xuan's words, both Little Point and Eevee became "newly captured Pokémon".

Akiko nodded; this did indeed match what she had imagined.

Lin Xuan is a very strong trainer. He brought his two newly caught Pokémon to challenge the gym just to put some pressure on himself and improve faster.

"I see! I was wondering why you came here!"

Akiko said excitedly that the battle the night before last ended too quickly, and she also wanted to see Lin Xuan's strength.

Even if it's not his main Pokémon, you can still see Lin Xuan's strength in commanding battles.

Seeing that the other person seemed to really believe her, and even gave her the kind of look a fan gives an idol, Lin Xuan first breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked a little embarrassed.

After all, isn't it a bit wrong to lie to a minor?

But this is all for my own great cause of going home!

After they became a little more familiar with each other, Akiko became more talkative and started asking Lin Xuan about his experiences as a trainer for so long.

Lin Xuan glanced around and, seeing that no one was watching, started making things up.

There's nothing I can do about it. I have quite a few experiences, but it doesn't seem quite appropriate to talk about them here. Fortunately, I've read a lot of novels, so I was completely fooled by this silly girl.

Wow! That's amazing!

The little doll perched on Lin Xuan's head looked at the adoring expression in Akiko's eyes and felt even more contempt for Lin Xuan.

After Lin Xuan made up a story for five minutes, someone finally came out from inside.

"Damn it! This dojo has absolutely no intention of letting anyone pass!"

Lin Xuan and Ya Xizi watched as a short-haired boy stormed out, looking furious. In the end, they muttered to themselves, complaining about Evergreen Dojo.

Seeing this, Akiko looked a little scared, because she had only just become a trainer. Even in Lin Xuan's opinion, challenging the Evergreen Gym as her first gym was indeed quite difficult.

It's best to go to the Cerulean City Gym, as it's a bit easier there... The difficulty in Pewter City has probably increased since Brock's dad came back.

He's a gym leader who once dreamed of becoming a champion in his youth, so his skills can't be weak.

Chapter 557 Evergreen Dojo

Soon, Lin Xuan's first dojo challenge match will begin.

In fact, Lin Xuan's expression was a bit strange at this moment, mainly because he had never fought a dojo like this before in his life.

In his own world, Lin Xuan was very familiar with the gyms, but unlike in this world, they didn't have the function of challenging gyms.

Most of the time, it is only used to select apprentices, much like the function of a school.

But it's different in this world. While the dojos also serve a similar function as schools as in that world, they are primarily used for assessments.

This is essentially a test administered by the league to novice trainers.

Lin Xuan was quite curious about this format. If she could learn something from it, perhaps she could put it to use when she returned to her own world.

Lin Xuan went inside with this learning intention in mind.

Since gym battles are open to the public, you can visit them even if you don't challenge them.

So Lin Xuan and the others could actually have gone in to watch the match between the players inside.

It's just that Lin Xuan had to say some things in advance.

Otherwise, once inside, Lin Xuan was worried that there would be too many people and she wouldn't be able to say anything.

Fortunately, Yaxizi seems to be the same type as Bai Yao, the kind who is easy to fool.

No, this child seems to be a bit smarter than Bai Yao. It's just that I trusted her too much because I saved her.

Lin Xuan could only say, "Kid, you're still too young!"

At the same time, although I felt a little bit guilty, it was only a little bit.

"Come on, let's go in."

"Ok!"

Akiko nodded and then followed Lin Xuan inside.

In his eyes, Lin Xuan is now considered a senior figure.

After all, what level of strength must Lin Xuan be to be able to live in Professor Oak's lab?

Could he possibly reach the level of the headmaster of the Changqing City Dojo?

In Akiko's eyes, Lin Xuan's fighting power, which was at the level of a gym leader, was already quite frightening, considering that Lin Xuan didn't seem to be much older than her.

However, Lin Xuan only wanted to say that one should not judge a book by its cover.

In a remote region, there was a girl the age of one of the Four Heavenly Kings, making Lin Xuan doubt whether she could attend elementary school.

Moreover, Lin Xuan now has some understanding of this world, and his strength is roughly equivalent to that of the Four Heavenly Kings, and he is even a relatively strong one.

There are also differences between the Four Heavenly Kings.

There is still a certain gap between the Four Heavenly Kings of the Johto region and the veteran Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region.

Especially Kikuko, Lin Xuan knew some things from when he was at Professor Oak's lab, Kikuko and Professor Oak seemed to know each other.

So when they met, they asked about this. It seems that Kikuko and Professor Oak did have some special relationship during their time together. As for what was special about it...
