Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"You really don't care? Aren't you afraid I'll double-cross you?"

Suddenly, Sakaki appeared behind Lin Xuan, finally taking off his hat and a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Your Moltres."

Lin Xuan didn't bother to say anything to Sakaki and simply threw Moltres's Poké Ball over.

Does your own condition really matter? It's like you can beat Giovanni just because you're in good condition. Giovanni didn't even use his signature Pokémon from beginning to end.

"This is the agreed-upon compensation."

When Giovanni caught the Poké Ball, he threw a small wooden box at Lin Xuan, which Eevee caught easily.

"You gave it to me so quickly? Wasn't it supposed to take three days?"

"That's not necessary."

"Did you get it?"

"Not yet, but soon. I can handle the rest myself."

Chapter 574 Countdown to Homecoming

Lin Xuan wasn't surprised to hear Sakaki's words. As for the rest... it was none of his business. Lin Xuan just wanted to get the stone tablet fragment; the rest was none of his concern.

Lin Xuan opened the box containing the stone slab fragments, glanced at it, and confirmed that it was correct.

However, this seems to be a fragment of a fire-type stone tablet. Lin Xuan doesn't seem to have any fire-type Pokémon, does he?

However, I don't know if this thing will help Xiaodian. For so long, Xiaodian's electric attribute power has been stronger than fire attribute power.

That's normal. The fire element power is only a small amount of awakened power, which can't compare to its original attribute.

As a result, Xiaodian is always prone to losing balance when using Thunderfire Double Strike. Now that we have the Stone Slab Fragment, let's see if there's a solution.

Or simply make the fire element stronger, at least to prevent it from becoming unbalanced again.

"Yes."

Lin Xuan nodded and then spoke to Sakaki. Sakaki did not leave immediately, but instead asked Lin Xuan a question.

"What are your plans after this? How about coming back to our Rockets? I can offer you any treatment you want."

Sakaki smiled and said to Lin Xuan, he recognized Lin Xuan's strength. Team Rocket was doing well, but there weren't many players with Lin Xuan's level of strength. He even felt that Lin Xuan was much stronger than Rika and the others.

Given such talent and the fact that he knew his identity, he would definitely want to win him over.

"No, I'm still not interested. But don't worry, I won't reveal anything about you until you give yourself away. Consider it a bonus in the deal."

Lin Xuan carefully put away the stone slab fragments. Ever since she got the fragments, her phone had been vibrating, but with Sakaki right in front of her, Lin Xuan couldn't possibly take out her phone now, or who knows what might happen.

"Okay, let me know when you change your mind."

He didn't insist on Lin Xuan joining the Rockets, and even turned and left quite casually.

He also asked Lin Xuan to keep the contact information he gave her, saying she might contact him again later.

At this point, Lin Xuan was no longer thinking about the ultimate weapon's immortality. Without AZ's help, Sakaki couldn't activate the ultimate weapon, and naturally, he couldn't achieve his goal of immortality.

But in any case, it seems that the final weapon, Giovanni, has been obtained. What happens after that... doesn't seem to be much different from the original story, since this thing can't be activated anyway.

Lin Xuan found a place to sit down in the forest, resting and recuperating while taking out her stone slab fragments and her phone.

After taking it out, Lin Xuan could feel the phone vibrating more intensely. Lin Xuan didn't know what to do, so she simply moved the stone slab fragments closer and closer to the phone.

The instant the stone slab fragment touched the phone, a countdown appeared on Arceus's phone.

"Seventy-two hours?"

Lin Xuan frowned slightly. Did this mean she would have to wait seventy-two hours before she could go back? Or was there something else she needed to find?

Lin Xuan prayed that it wouldn't be the latter. He was basically at the point of breaking ties with the Alliance, especially since Karuni and the others knew him, so... it was best to run away as soon as possible!

Lin Xuan stayed in place for a while, not knowing how much time had passed, until the sun had already set, before she finally stood up from the ground.

"The recovery was quite fast this time."

Lin Xuan sensed the waveguide power within her body and found that it had basically recovered.

Staying in the wild all the time was definitely not an option, so after dressing up a bit, Lin Xuan prepared to head to White Sand City, south of Miare City.

But speaking of which, isn't Alhambra City also one of Ash's previous adventure destinations? Maybe he's challenging a gym in Alhambra City right now.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan headed straight for Baitan City.

Given Lin Xuan's speed, he naturally arrived before evening.

Lin Xuan did not use her previous identity. It should be said that Sakaki was more considerate and professional, having prepared several identities for himself before coming to Carlos.

Furthermore, with Lin Xuan's slight disguise, it wouldn't be so easy for her to discover him.

I wonder where Ash and his friends are now. They're leaving soon, and I'd love to see them a couple more times.

Just after Lin Xuan finished checking in at the Pokémon Center, she heard a familiar voice coming from not far away.

"Damn it! Is Miss Violet really that strong? I'm definitely going to give her some serious training!"

Speak of the devil and he appears. Lin Xuan had just thought of Xiao Zhi when she heard Xiao Zhi's voice from behind her.

Ash is about to begin formal training after challenging Violet Tablet, the Gym Leader of the Alhambra City Gym, and is planning to ask Clemont for help.

As soon as I entered the Pokémon Center, I saw a familiar figure.

"Is that Mr. Lin Xuan?"

Serena pointed in Lin Xuan's direction, but because Lin Xuan's appearance was completely different from before, she didn't recognize him for a moment.

"Probably not?"

Xiao Zhi tilted his head, and then Lin Xuan turned around and grinned at him.

"You don't recognize me after such a short time?"

"Hey! It really is Brother Lin Xuan!"

"Mr. Lin Xuan, why are you in Baitan City?"

Xiao Zhi and the others looked surprised, after all, Lin Xuan had refused when they asked her to travel with them before.

"I stayed in Miare City before because of some things, but now that those things are done, I have more free time, so I came to White Sandalwood City to have some fun."

Lin Xuan said with a smile, while casually observing Citron's expression.

If we were to say who among Ash's group is most likely to see through his disguise, it would be Clemont.

After all, he is the gym leader.

Unfortunately, all his credentials as a gym leader, including his contact information, are in Lucerne City.

In other words, he has not yet received any information about Lin Xuan in his capacity as the dojo master.

Aside from the gym leaders, the League would definitely not reveal Lin Xuan's situation.

Karuni is the champion of the Carlos League, yet she was almost defeated by some guy who appeared out of nowhere, and had to team up with Pachela. It's embarrassing to even talk about it!

From any perspective, Lin Xuan's affairs are not something that can be made public, so currently only some high-ranking members of the alliance know about them.

Lin Xuan felt that Violet should know about the Gym Leader of White Sand City, so if possible, she should avoid showing herself in front of her.

"Perfect timing! I'm about to start special training. Do you have any suggestions, Brother Lin Xuan?"

Ash said excitedly that he respected Lin Xuan's strength and identity as a Aura user, so of course he should listen to Lin Xuan's advice at this time.

"It's too late now, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Lin Xuan glanced at the time and said, and Xiao Zhi could only nod.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here tomorrow!"

Clemont and the others exchanged glances. Ash still had the same personality, but for some reason, he acted like a little fanboy when facing Lin Xuan.

The main reason is that they didn't know that Ash had obtained the Aura from Lin Xuan, otherwise they would have been able to understand.

The next day arrived quickly. Ash was training at the battle arena not far from the Pokémon Center, while Lin Xuan was giving him pointers.

It should be said that both Ash and Pikachu are very talented, and they can grasp the concepts very quickly.

Other birds like the Little Arrow Sparrow might be a little less talented, but they are definitely among the most gifted.

"You seem to have a lot of free time, actually here giving pointers to newcomers?"

Lin Xuan turned her head to look, and then the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

"How will you be here?"

The person who arrived was Karuni, and Lin Xuan didn't know why this girl would appear in Baitan City at this time.

Logically speaking, given the serious situation in Miare, shouldn't you, as the champion, have stayed there?

"What, can't I stay here?"

Karuni smiled faintly and said, while Clifton, who was standing to the side, also noticed Karuni's arrival and was even chatting and laughing with Lin Xuan. He opened his mouth wide for a moment.

"Hey, who's this older sister?"

Ash pointed at Karune and asked Clemont, who wanted to punch her on the head.
