Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

The island of the Yulong family is home to countless Dragon-type Pokémon, so why would they come here to join the fun?

Even if one or two pseudo-legendary Pokémon appear, such as Dratini or Bagon, it's unlikely that the Dragonmaster would actually take notice of them.

I'll tell you later.

Obviously, there are some special circumstances involved, but it's not convenient to discuss them here.

"I haven't really been paying attention to things here for a while."

Lin Xuan sighed and said, "I didn't expect that a secret realm would appear after only a month of absence? It even has Dragon-type Pokémon, a secret realm that would interest the Yulong family?"

The timing was too coincidental, making Lin Xuan wonder if it had any connection to the previous secret realm.

Li Ru seemed to know what Lin Xuan was thinking, but simply shook her head.

"At least for now, it seems that there is no significant connection between the two secret realms; it may just be a coincidence."

"A coincidence? That's a bit too much of a coincidence."

"Who cares? Let's just go and see. You can also work as my bodyguard for a while."

Long Xing spoke quite magnanimously, while Lin Xuan, without any hesitation, tried to kick him away.

"Get out of the way, I have important business to attend to this time!"

"Huh? Is this serious business?"

Long Xing's gaze swept over Lin Xuan and Bai Yao; he had only just noticed this now.

"Why can't travel be considered a serious matter? Appropriate relaxation can also benefit subsequent training!"

Bai Yao spoke up directly, interrupting Long Xing's questioning words that he was about to utter.

"Alright, whatever you two say goes."

Long Xing waved his hand casually, and Li Ru directly extended an invitation.

"Why don't you just stay at our dojo? We have plenty of empty rooms, and it's quite convenient."

"No need, no need, I've already booked a room." Long Xing shook his head. After all, he and Lin Xuan came for different reasons, but after thinking for a moment, he still said it.

"But I'd like to visit your dojo later, is that alright?"

Among the dojos in Japan, the Kawafu City Dojo is probably second only to the Jinhui City Dojo in terms of history; it just wasn't called a dojo before.

"No problem, we'd love to have you there!"

"I haven't booked a room yet, but it should still be in time..."

Lin Xuan slowly opened the booking app, but upon inspection, all the nice hotels she clicked on were fully booked.

"Huh???" Then Lin Xuan remembered what Long Xing had just said, and slapped her forehead hard, as if she had realized something.

"Aaaaaah! Couldn't you have booked a room in advance?!"

Bai Yao grabbed Lin Xuan's arm, glanced at the phone screen, and let out a sound of despair.

"Who knew this would happen! Besides, we only decided to leave yesterday, so even if we bought them then, it probably wouldn't have been in time."

Lin Xuan said somewhat guiltily, "Besides, didn't you also completely overlook this point?"

"That's different! Haven't you always been in charge of this kind of thing?"

"Does something always have to be this way to be right? Putting aside the facts, are you completely without fault for not reminding me? Sometimes, ugh..."

As Lin Xuan spoke, she felt a sharp pain in her waist. Was this a universal skill that all girls could learn?

Long Xing and Li Ru, who were watching this scene from the side, exchanged a glance.

"Should we leave first?" Li Ru said first.

"Okay, otherwise I won't be able to eat anything later."

Then the two walked away as if they didn't know each other at all, not wanting to look at Lin Xuan and Bai Yao even once. If anyone nearby looked over, they would feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan eventually found a place to stay, which was the same hotel where Long Xing was staying at the time.

"Is this still your family's property?"

"For the Yulong family, raising a large number of Dragon-type Pokémon is inherently expensive. Although Dragon-type Pokémon are valuable, we can't just sell them for money, can we?"

Long Xing said with some helplessness, "You know, it's just a quasi-god. If it wants to really grow up, the resources required are far beyond what an ordinary family can afford."

Even for the Dragon Family, it is a very difficult thing to afford so many Dragon-type Pokémon expenses.

Furthermore, their relationship with Dragon Village is not purely one of possession, and it is impossible for them to sell Pokémon.

Moreover, that would be tantamount to digging one's own grave. Dragon-type Pokémon are already difficult to breed, and they may not be able to produce more than a few in their lifetime.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal to have a side hustle.

"I knew your Yulong family was rich before, but I didn't expect them to be this rich!"

Lin Xuan, standing in front of the hotel, stroked his chin and glanced at the hotel, which was at least several dozen stories high. In Sichuan City, it was probably the largest hotel, if not the largest.

"If you knew, would you be thinking of just coming here to get things for free from now on?"

Long Xing immediately saw through Lin Xuan's thoughts.

"Ahem, how can something between friends be considered freeloading?"

"So I'm curious how you managed to buy a plane ticket here without even knowing this?"

"The alliance bought it, I'm just responsible for bringing it over," Lin Xuan said very honestly. Just as the three of them were talking, they quickly arrived at the front desk. Long Xing seemed to come back to his senses and turned around, glancing at Lin Xuan and Bai Yao.

“So you two…” Long Xing’s eyes swept over Bai Yao and Lin Xuan.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Why do I sense a hint of unease in your eyes?

Lin Xuan and Bai Yao complained almost simultaneously, making Long Xing sigh inwardly at how well these two scoundrels were getting along.

"Should I play along and say something like, 'Because there are so many people coming to Chuanfu City, there's only one room left?'"

"It's been so long since I've seen you, and you seem to be courting death much more than before!"

Bai Yao sneered, while simultaneously cracking his fists.

"Just kidding! We usually keep some rooms here."

"It's okay, if it really doesn't work, I can squeeze in with you!"

Lin Xuan went straight up and put her arms around Long Xing's neck, saying with a cold smile.

"Then forget it, I don't have that kind of hobby!"

After completing the check-in procedures, Lin Xuan greeted Bai Yao and Long Xing.

"Then I'll go check out the dojo first. You're not in a rush, are you?"

"It's okay, I was originally planning to leave tomorrow anyway, and if I go too early, the alliance won't let me in!"

Although the entrance to the secret realm is open, it's not the kind of place you can just walk into.

Especially this secret realm, even though it may contain rare Pokémon like pseudo-legendary ones, its level of danger far exceeds that of other ordinary secret realms.

"Hey, didn't you say you were bringing me here to play? Why did you run off?!"

Bai Yao stared wide-eyed and said that she had only come along because she heard Lin Xuan say "come and play".

"Things over there are a bit complicated, but I should be back this afternoon. I'll take you there for some more fun then!"

Lin Xuan could only apologize and say that, at present, there are more and more problems related to the secret realm of Necrozma, and Lin Xuan was not willing to let Bai Yao continue to get involved, so she should not be taken along.

“Then I…” Long Xing seemed about to speak as well.

"You too, little brat, get out of here."

"You're only three days older than me!"

Long Xing said through gritted teeth that they had compared their ages and Long Xing was exactly three days younger than Lin Xuan.

"Three days is not a long time. Anyway, I'll be back tonight. Or why don't you go out for a walk on your own first?"

"Never mind, I'll wait for you to come back then."

Bai Yao shook her head and said listlessly, while Long Xing could only put his hands behind his head.

Lin Xuan soon went to the Kawafu City Dojo alone, while Li Ru had gone back early because of some things that had happened before, and did not go to the hotel with them.

At the dojo in Chuanfu City, Zhang Qiming had obviously been waiting for Lin Xuan's arrival for a long time. After Lin Xuan arrived, he took him directly to the location of the secret realm.

Where is that newly discovered secret realm?

On the way, Lin Xuan casually asked a question. What might be considered confidential by most people was nothing to Lin Xuan.

"It's not here. It's probably towards the east of the city, quite a distance away, and the situation inside is completely different. Otherwise, I would have suspected at first that there might be some connection between the two secret realms!"

In fact, not only Lin Xuan, but even Zhang Qiming initially suspected that there might be a connection between the two secret realms.

"I'm relieved when you say that."

"Don't relax yet. Look at the good things you've done. If it weren't for the compensation from the alliance, you probably wouldn't be able to stand in front of me and talk to me normally."

Lin Xuan: ...

"Ahem, you probably guessed this from the beginning, right?"
