Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Actually, this is mainly due to Ibrahimovic's own efforts; I didn't teach her much."

It should be said that whether it's Xiaodian or Yibu, their current strength is more due to their own efforts than Lin Xuan's.

Lin Xuan couldn't possibly claim all the credit for himself.

"If I had to say what's most important... I think it would be the bond with your Pokémon. Only when you have complete trust with your Pokémon can you unleash your full potential. In this respect, I think you and Pikachu are second to none among trainers."

Lin Xuan told Xiao Zhi that the bond between him and Pikachu was something few people could compare to.

"Hehe, is that so~"

"Xiao Zhi, really! Mr. Lin Xuan only praised him a few times and he's already getting arrogant. What a child!"

Bonnie spread her hands helplessly and said that, and then Ash glanced at her.

"Are you acting like you're not a child?"

"However, in my opinion, while Pikachu is very strong, there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of control."

After battling Ash's Pikachu yesterday, Lin Xuan also discovered that Pikachu's problem was similar to the previous issue with Xiaodian, but not as serious.

It can be made up for with just a little training.

"Hey, any good suggestions?"

Perhaps because he was ruthlessly crushed and defeated by Lin Xuan, Xiao Zhi trusted Lin Xuan's words quite a bit.

"My electric flying mouse had this problem before, so I have some experience with it."

As Lin Xuan was sharing her experience with Ash, she heard Eevee's telepathic message, and even her steps slowed down.

Chapter 564 Grouping

Seeing Lin Xuan suddenly stop in place for some reason, Xiao Zhi and Clemont, who were not far away, also looked over.

"What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Lin Xuan shook her head. Eevee had discovered the trap ahead; judging from the situation, it was probably set up by those three idiots.

But shouldn't they be doing the tasks they've been given?

And since I have to keep an eye on Pachela, I probably won't have time to catch Pikachu, right?

Lin Xuan even received new information from Kojiro and the others not long ago, so... it shouldn't be them, right?

Lin Xuan still had some doubts, so she decided to go further and see. If it really was true, then she would definitely need to be taught a lesson for not doing proper work and instead being idle here.

Lin Xuan continued to follow, but fell slightly behind.

As for Xiao Zhi and the others, they didn't think much of it and even continued chatting with Lin Xuan about training-related matters, completely unaware that danger was quietly approaching.

"They're here! They'll be here soon!"

Musashi patted Kojiro hard on the side, then pointed to where Lin Xuan and the others were.

"I know, I know, but you don't have to use so much force!"

Despite saying that, Kojiro was still looking forward to watching Ash and his friends walk step by step into his trap.

This time, it was because they were completely focused on Xiao Zhi that they didn't notice Lin Xuan. Otherwise, they should have started preparing to run away by now.

They dug a huge pit in the ground, and as soon as Ash and his friends walked into the middle, they would fall in instantly, and the traps they had set up would be activated immediately.

As Ash and his friends gradually approached the trap they had set, Kojiro and the others even started counting down.

"Three...two...one!"

But just as Kojiro and his friends finished their countdown, Ash and his friends were still walking on the road without incident. In fact, they walked out while Kojiro and his friends were still in a daze.

"Eh?"

Kojiro and the others were stunned for a moment, and then Musashi's fist landed on Kojiro's head.

"It must be because you didn't set it up properly! It's completely useless!"

"How could that be! There's absolutely no way my trap could be faulty!"

Kojiro and Musashi started arguing, while Meow Meow continued to look in Lin Xuan's direction with her binoculars.

"Strange, why does this person look so familiar?"

After Ash and his friends passed the trap, Meowth finally saw Lin Xuan following behind. She immediately looked on with some curiosity and then mentally matched each person she had ever met with her…

"Wait, why is Boss Lin Xuan meowing here?!"

After seeing Lin Xuan's face clearly, Miao Miao immediately fell backward to the ground, and Kojiro rushed over to catch the binoculars that Miao Miao had dropped.

"Ah? Impossible?"

But just as Kojiro picked up his binoculars and looked in this direction, Lin Xuan stopped in his tracks and glanced in the same direction.

"This... really is true."

Kojiro swallowed hard. Was this the end for him?

Their boss found out they were catching Pikachu instead of doing their job. Could there be anything more tragic than that?

"So, the fact that nothing happened just now is also because of Boss Lin Xuan, meow?"

Meow Meow thought so, but why?

"Could it be because Boss Lin Xuan also has his eye on that Pikachu and wants to get his hands on it?"

"How could that be? If Boss Lin Xuan wanted it, he could just take it by force, wouldn't he?"

In their eyes, how could Lin Xuan be like them? Wouldn't it be an easy thing for her to steal Xiao Zhi's Pikachu?

While Kojiro and his friends were feeling uneasy because of a single glance from Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan had already continued on with Satoshi.

He was just checking, but he didn't expect that the trap was indeed set by Kojiro and his group. To be honest... although the trap was a bit rudimentary, it was not bad.

He does have some talent in this area, but unfortunately he encountered a protagonist like Ash, which destined him to fail. This time, Lin Xuan interfered even more.

"It's that cave up ahead. Once we get through there, we'll be one step closer to Baitan City!"

Xiao Zhi pointed ahead and said.

"Was it inside that you had the accident yesterday?"

Lin Xuan asked, and Citron nodded first.

"Well, because Lin Xuan's environment was a bit complicated and our communication equipment malfunctioned, we got lost inside. Dongdong Mouse was injured while protecting Yulijia."

"That's right, I was protected thanks to this child!"

As Yulijia spoke, she used the "cheek-rubbing" technique on the Dongdong Mouse in her arms.

It can only be said that because of Lin Xuan's appearance, this part of the story seems to have changed drastically. At least in the original anime, there doesn't seem to be any indication that Ash returned.

"Then I met Serena on my way back."

At this point, Citron paused to recall for a moment, then scratched his head somewhat strangely and asked Serena.

"By the way, why did you follow us in the first place?"

Ash looked over after hearing this; he was actually quite curious as well.

Lin Xuan and You Lijia exchanged a glance and then sighed.

Citron is a brilliant guy in certain situations, but when it comes to matters of the heart, he seems to freeze up.

Needless to say, Xiao Zhi was even more clueless; Lin Xuan never expected him to understand this so quickly.

"Ah! This, this! It's just curiosity! Just curiosity!"

Serena shook her head shyly and waved her hand.

But she still felt a little resentful, because Xiao Zhi hadn't remembered her for so long, even though she had always remembered him!

"I was a little worried when I saw you guys carrying a Drum Mouse, so I followed you. That's all."

"I see! So Serena, you're a big Pokémon fan too!"

Ash was the first to believe him, while Clemont lacked the wit he displayed when facing Serena, unlike his match against Lin Xuan.

After all, it seems to be the only answer, and it makes sense.

Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Serena breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head and saw Lin Xuan's somewhat strange look.

"Mr. Lin, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ahem, it's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're ready this time?"

"Don't worry, this is a new communicator I remade last night with a location tracking function. It can be located immediately if you get lost."

Citron took out three radar-shaped objects from his pocket. With them, even in the pitch-black cave, he would not get lost.

"Eh~ If Gible and Dawn's Piplup were still around, we wouldn't have to worry about this at all."

Xiao Zhi sighed and said something, while Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly.

On behalf of Hikaru's Bogarman, thank you!

Ash said that for a simple reason: his Gible could always perfectly hit Piplup when using Meteor Shower, no matter the conditions.
