Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan pointed to himself, and the old Pope nodded in agreement.

"Pretty much, and there's more to come. This time there are fewer tasks mainly because we need you to come back and prepare for the competition. Your advisor takes this matter quite seriously."

"So if it weren't for this competition, I'd probably still be in the world now, right?"

"more or less."

"..."

Lin Xuan didn't know whether she should say thank you or not, but... well, at least she's back. But when will she go there again?

"No rush. After the tournament, don't you still have other tasks your advisor gave you?"

"Other tasks?"

Lin Xuan frowned, looked down and thought for a moment, then quickly remembered that it was about the Dawn Group.

"Indeed it is."

"Let's wait until everything is over. The next time we travel through time should take a little longer."

"I only have one thing I want to discuss with you two, is that alright?"

"You tell me first."

"So... next time before you let me travel through time, could you please give me a heads-up first?!"

Lin Xuan said, somewhat devastated, and the person on the other end of the phone could only nod.

"Mmm, don't worry, don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan opened the calendar and glanced at it. There was less than a month left until the start of the World Championships. In the remaining month, Lin Xuan still needed to continue training.

But Lin Xuan felt that what she needed to do most right now was to deal with those fragments!

Needless to say, the rats seem to have been unable to find an opportunity. Eevee, on the other hand, fused perfectly, but was unable to fully unleash that power, only a small portion of it.

Even so, it still managed to help her unlock all of her partner's moves, which is quite terrifying. Lin Xuan can't even imagine what would happen if the stone slab were to be fully utilized.

Then there's Xiaodian's side. Logically speaking, this fire-type stone tablet fragment should be given to a fire-type Pokémon, but Lin Xuan doesn't have one!

This makes Xiaodian the best choice, because he also desperately needs powerful fire energy.

After thinking about this, Lin Xuan's eyes calmed down a lot. The task afterward, in addition to ordinary training, was to let Xiao Dian and the others absorb as much power from the stone slab as possible.

That's the power of Arceus. Even if only a small portion of it can be unleashed, it's still terrifying enough. At least below the legendary Pokémon level, no one should be able to resist it.

"Lin Xuan, why aren't you asleep so late?"

Just as Lin Xuan was standing there thinking, Bai Yao suddenly poked her head in from outside the door.

"Hey, is it late?"

Lin Xuan paused for a moment, then glanced at the time—

Holy crap, it's already past midnight! That means—wait a minute! It's only past midnight, the nightlife is just beginning.

"It's only midnight, is that late? Besides, didn't you used to stay up late every night too?"

"I'm all about skincare now! You know nothing... what a load of crap!"

Bai Yao snorted coldly, not bothering to lower herself to Lin Xuan's level.

"Okay, okay, so... let's play games? I'll have Ibu carry us to rank up."

"Yeah!"

Don't you pay attention to skincare and go to bed early and get up early?

Bui: ? ? ?

Why me again?

"You two are too weak, I really can't carry you!" Eevee's eyes were just about to ask for help from the little guy when he suddenly disappeared, and Eevee couldn't even find him for a moment.

So wait until the next day—

"Holy crap, could this be...?"

Mr. Zhong, who had gotten up early to go to work, paused for a moment when he saw two pairs of slippers at Lin Xuan's door.

It's six in the morning! Based on my understanding of Bai Yao and Lin Xuan, getting up at this time is impossible!

Although Lin Xuan has now gotten used to using meditation to replace sleep, in terms of effect, meditation is not much different from sleep except that she can quit on her own and can rest better.

Could it be because Lin Xuan couldn't control her emotions after returning from her disappearance?

But they can't be this depraved! I must condemn these two people!

Zhong Mingyi first took two steps back, then took out his phone and snapped a picture of the scene. He then prepared to slip away, saying, "This is the evidence!"

Just as Zhong Mingyi was about to leave, a hand reached out from behind Lin Xuan's room door and grabbed the back of his neck.

"Damn it! I'd be a dog to believe your nonsense!"

Then, Bai Yao, with dark circles under her eyes, followed Lin Xuan out.

I don't know if it's because Ibrahimovic's level has dropped, or if Lin Xuan and Bai Yao are just too bad. Although they won a few games in between, the overall trend was still - a losing streak!

Lin Xuan was completely devastated by the loss, let alone Bai Yao.

But there was no way around it; the more you lose, the more addicted you become. It wasn't until she saw herself break down that Bai Yao completely lost her composure.

"Ahem, shall we take some pictures of our loving family life?"

"hehe."

You think I must be incredibly stupid to believe such nonsense? But after seeing a scene that wasn't what I imagined, I first breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little disappointed.

It's a shame, I thought I'd caught a big news story, but it turns out it was just playing games all night? Young man, aren't you a bit too unambitious? Can't you be a little more driven?

Bai Yao returned to her room in a huff, but Lin Xuan estimated that in her current state, she could fall asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

"What are you doing now? So early?"

Lin Xuan glanced at the time. Although Zhong Mingyi usually went to the dojo, he wouldn't be this early, would he?

"Well, something came up...why don't you want to help me out?"

"what's up?"

Lin Xuan would definitely ask first; if it was too much trouble—then I'd be sorry.

"It's not too troublesome, it's just that we need to expand our recruitment now, but as you know, I've only been a gym leader for a short time. And this is the first time Jianghai Gym has expanded its recruitment, so I have no experience at all. Therefore, I can only go there as soon as possible."

"You should have said so earlier! I have experience with this kind of thing!"

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. Training? What's that? Let's put that aside for now and do something fun.

After all, things are different here than at Jinhui Dojo. Here, if you get tired, you can just run away.

"Do you have experience?"

After thinking about it, Zhong Ming realized that Lin Xuan was also from Jinhui Dojo. As a long-established dojo, he might indeed have a lot to learn from her.

"Of course! If you don't believe me, go ask Bai Yao!"

It seems that the recruitment event I attended at Jinhui Dojo before was useful; at least it came in handy this time.

Moreover, because I used to frequent the Jianghai City Dojo and Jinhui Dojo, I know that there are significant differences between the two dojos.

Jin Hui Dojo is a very traditional dojo; after all, it's the oldest dojo in China.

Jianghai City Dojo is more like a school than a dojo.

Many of the students there are even current students.

However, the Jin Hui City Gym is different. Many of Lin Xuan's students have lived there ever since they started playing Pokémon. As for studying—just look at Bai Yao, he obviously hasn't studied much!

However, this cannot be blamed on Luo Guan, since he received all the necessary education. It's just that Bai Yao may have indeed focused all his talents on becoming a trainer.

"Fine, you can have it!"

Zhong Ming decided to trust Lin Xuan, since the matter itself wasn't difficult, especially for a powerful trainer like Lin Xuan.

Furthermore, Lin Xuan said he had experience, so it must be him.

After returning to the Jianghai City Dojo, Lin Xuan also discovered the differences between the Jianghai City Dojo's enrollment and the Jinhui Dojo's.

First of all, there was no difference in the number of people, which surprised Lin Xuan quite a bit. Although there were many people who signed up for Jinhui Dojo before, the number of people who signed up last time was still the result of his own publicity.

"How about that? Aren't you surprised? You don't think our dojo has so many applicants?"

Zhong Mingyi looked very proud, and then, just as Lin Xuan was wondering, he pointed to a bulletin board not far away, on which was a beautiful photo of Lin Xuan.

It even includes some embarrassing photos of Lin Xuan and Ibrahimovic from back then.

Lin Xuan's face darkened instantly.

"Isn't this an infringement of my portrait rights?!"

"Ahem, you can't say that. You're still an employee of our Jianghai Dojo. Just consider it a contribution to us. Besides, you haven't come to the dojo more than a few times in the past six months. I have to find someone to replace you."

Lin Xuan was speechless. Zhong Mingyi had simply put himself directly into the advertisement.

However, apart from the number of people, the biggest difference lies in the people who come.

Lin Xuan thought back to when he was at Jinhui Dojo. Most of the trainees were under high school age, and although they had some exposure to the world of trainers, there weren't many.
