Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Find a place to sleep, and maybe seventy or eighty years will have passed. By then, this kid will probably be long gone.

That's right, Manaphy is that steady. But another reason is that he has been awake for quite some time this time, and he really needs to find a place where he can continue to sleep.

There's a reason why many legendary Pokémon fall back into a deep sleep after waking up.

Even legendary Pokémon don't have truly infinite lifespans; for them, sleeping is a way to restore their life energy.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Jirachi, which spends more than 99% of its life sleeping, but this is a special case for Jirachi.

That said, the call was quickly connected, and a dedicated staff member soon transferred the call to the old Pope.

"Hello, is this Lin Xuan?"

He spoke fluent Mandarin, and Lin Xuan even thought that his Mandarin was more standard than his father's.

Lin Xuan's father would occasionally speak with a slight regional accent, but this person did not, as if it were his mother tongue.

"Um, I wanted to ask..."

"Ask about your advisor's situation?"

"Correct."

Lin Xuan wasn't surprised that the other party guessed his intentions so quickly; in fact, he would have been surprised if the other party hadn't, since the other party should have known about his situation.

"You don't need to worry about that, he's doing very well now, but that's probably not what you really want to ask, is it?"

"Ah."

Lin Xuan nodded, of course.

"My advisor recently gave me a task, but I don't know anything about it... Do you know anything about it?"

Lin Xuan asked curiously, and the other side quickly gave an affirmative answer.

“I know, or rather, he consulted me before he did it.”

"So you're not going to consult me, is that it?"

Lin Xuan said speechlessly, "These two old men..."

"Hahaha! He wanted to give you a surprise, so how about it, an experience in another world."

"It was pretty good, I even got a taste of what it's like to be a villain~"

Lin Xuan pursed her lips. When she played Pokémon as a child, she thought it would be fun to become a member of Team Rocket.

I never imagined that this wish would come true in the real world after I grew up!

So he's probably only nominally part of the Rockets, but having this kind of experience once in a while is pretty good.

"He probably wanted to give you a surprise."

The old pope on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "Another world—even I haven't been there."

"Hehe, thank you!"

This is absolutely terrifying!

"But the fact that you came back so quickly means you got something, right?"

"Yes, I got it. It's a fire-attribute stone tablet fragment."

Lin Xuan nodded, but he still had many questions, and the old Pope seemed to know this as well, and directly said:

"It's okay, just ask me anything you want to know. I should be able to answer most of your questions."

"I do have many questions."

Lin Xuan nodded. He did indeed have many questions he wanted to ask, the first of which was—

"So, was the Kyogre I saw that day real?"

Lin Xuan was simply curious about this matter, because he did see Kyogre that day, but why did he travel through time after that Kyogre swallowed him whole?

The other party quickly provided an answer regarding this matter.

"That Kyogre... Kyogre is indeed sleeping in that place, and the thing you brought there does help him sleep more soundly."

To some extent, Manaphy didn't lie to Lin Xuan, because it was indeed one of Lin Xuan's tasks.

He simply concealed a tiny bit of what would happen next in the story.

"The Kyogre I saw back then..."

In Lin Xuan's memory, it seems that Kyogre has already woken up, right?

Does that mean I failed my mission?

In fact, Lin Xuan was also worried about this issue when she first went to the Pokémon world. When she came back, she even went online to check, but there was no news about any places suddenly experiencing tsunamis or anything like that. Everything was still quite stable.

"that……"

At this point, the old pope seemed unable to continue, making Lin Xuan highly suspicious of what followed.

"It's alright, just tell me, I can accept anything."

"This can be considered a surprise your advisor arranged for you. This scene is fake; in his words, it's more immersive."

"I……"

Lin Xuan forcibly suppressed the urge to swear, after all, you can't swear in front of your seniors! You can't swear!

"Can you find the advisor now? Could you please tell him thank you for me?"

"That probably won't work. I know where he is, but I can't find him."

"That's it..."

Is there really such a place? But Lin Xuan felt he would remember this incident with Kyogre for the rest of his life. When he was stronger than his advisor, he would make him pay for it if he tricked him a few more times!

Lin Xuan thought to herself angrily.

"Then the second question is."

Lin Xuan quickly followed up with more questions. He wanted to ask some of the questions he was most curious about first, and then ask the important ones all at once later, since the old man seemed to have plenty of free time anyway.

Do you know anything about that world?

"I understand, but I don't really understand."

"How to say?"

"I have never been to that world; I can only glimpse its general appearance from scattered fragments."

The old pope said this, as he was also very curious about Lin Xuan's experiences in that world.

Although he has the ability to predict the future, he cannot see the past.

The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed.

This is the core of his prophetic ability. All the past events have vanished into the long river of history, and he can only try to see the way forward by relying on a corner of the more distant future.

"Since we still have time, why don't you tell me about your experiences in that world?"

The old man looked very curious, and Lin Xuan nodded after thinking for a moment.

Of course, the process was simplified a bit, omitting some decisions I made based on my understanding of the plot, but I did explain the situation of Team Rocket and Vladari.

"Hahahaha! He really did play the villain in parliament!"

"There's nothing I can do. It's good enough that he let me out. And this deal is a good one. He wanted the ultimate weapon, and I gave it to him. As for how to use it, he can't possibly know, but that's not included in the after-sales service."

Lin Xuan chuckled. He hadn't really screwed over Sakaki, had he?

After all, he did indeed obtain the ultimate weapon.

"That's true, but I never expected that such powerful weapons would exist in that world."

Even the old Pope couldn't help but gasp after hearing the description of the ultimate weapon.

The power to destroy the world, coupled with the allure of immortality—this thing—

They shouldn't exist in this world!

He was glad that the world didn't have a final weapon, otherwise things would have been in chaos long ago.

In a world where individual combat prowess (thanks to Pokémon) is off the charts, the existence of something so tempting could be disastrous.

You should know that Lin Xuan just admitted that even he would probably find it hard to resist the temptation of immortality.

If the cost of starting it up hadn't been so high, he probably would have wanted to stay in that world a little longer and let Giovanni see if he could take him along.

Chapter 577 Preparing for the World Championships

In the time that followed, Lin Xuan asked a lot of questions, most of which were related to the incident, and he received answers to most of them.

"So, one last question... why did you let me go?"

Lin Xuan was puzzled. Why was it always her? Couldn't you guys find someone else to cause trouble?

"If I could, I would actually like to see another world."

Actually, if there were a choice, it might not necessarily be Lin Xuan who went, but unfortunately there was no choice, Lin Xuan was the only option.

"Does it have to be me?"
