Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

After all, for ordinary people, let alone encountering a legendary beast in their lifetime, they might not even see a pseudo-legendary beast.

But that incident taught Lin Xuan a real lesson.

It can only be said that one should not be too arrogant, otherwise it will not only be oneself who gets hurt. At least this time, Lin Xuan would not let Bai Yao take the risk with him.

"Let's go. I can feel a special calling from this crystal, as if it's beckoning me to go back."

Lin Xuan didn't tell Bai Yao about the summoning sensation on the crystal, to avoid making the guy worry again. But just in case, Lin Xuan still set a timer to send the text message to Bai Yao if he didn't cancel it by the designated time.

Although it may seem like I'm setting a goal, as long as I can come back on time, there won't be any problems, right?

Lin Xuan pressed down on his hat. This outfit was chosen by Bai Yao before, and it looked somewhat similar to the outfit worn by Chi Ye in the game. It was also Lin Xuan's favorite outfit.

"Dandan!"

Xiao Dian nodded. No matter what, they would always stand by Li Xiangnuan's side, no matter what danger they encountered!

Lin Xuan followed the call from the crystal and arrived at a cave. It seemed that no Pokémon had lived here before, and Lin Xuan could not sense any Pokémon presence at all.

Why were you brought here? What's here?

Lin Xuan held up the crystal and asked him a question, but the crystal couldn't answer Lin Xuan's question.

But soon, he made his intentions clear to Lin Xuan through his actions.

A strong light suddenly emanated from the crystal and shone onto the rock wall not far away. Instantly, a strong spatial suction force came from it. Lin Xuan was very familiar with this feeling.

This is the principle behind the existence of those secret realms; a spatial entrance has been forcibly opened here!

The power that suddenly erupted from the crystal surprised even Lin Xuan. Xiao Dian hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

Should we go in?

"Let's go in. Some things still need to be resolved. Anyway, nothing was wrong before, right?"

Lin Xuan barely hesitated, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly took out a Poké Ball containing a Rat, a Naganadel, and a Gyarados, locked onto it, and said something to Eevee.

"Lock it up, it'll only take a short while."

"Buyi~"

Eevee was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what Lin Xuan meant. The psychic power completely sealed the three Poké Balls, catching the three Pokémon inside off guard.

I never expected Lin Xuan to pull this stunt.

"Your strength is still relatively weak, so just stay here. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

But isn't the reason Lin Xuan did all this simply because he himself didn't trust that statement?

Even Lin Xuan herself subconsciously felt that something might happen, and Gyarados and the others would definitely still be worried.

But Lin Xuan didn't give them time to break free, and directly stepped into that secret realm with Little Eevee and the others.

This secret realm appears somewhat desolate, with only a lone sun drifting in the sky, and no signs of life around it. Beneath one's feet lies a barren desert.

The spatial entrance behind Lin Xuan closed instantly, and his gaze was fixed on the strange Pokémon not far away.

Its body appears to be made of black crystalline material. Each of its enormous hands has three claws at the end, and a triangular frustum-shaped crystal that transitions from white to black protrudes from the back of its hands. Its arms are slender prisms, and there is a pair of forward-bending hook-shaped crystals on its elbows.

The name of this Pokémon that immediately popped into Lin Xuan's mind was Necrozma!

Is this Necrozma? So, the power within the crystal is also Necrozma summoning him?

[It's... such a little guy?]

Necrozma's movements seemed somewhat sluggish, and the crystals on his body were constantly devouring the surrounding light.

But it was all in vain; it couldn't keep up with the rate at which he was being consumed.

He was injured, and seriously so, but ordinary light could not heal his injuries.

Even though he had done his best, and even the surrounding space had become somewhat distorted, this secret realm was not entirely devoid of life, but all the energy in the light here had been absorbed by Necrozma.

This indirectly led to the decline of this secret realm.

When Necrozma's gaze fell upon them, Lin Xuan felt as if his body was completely paralyzed. Not only Lin Xuan, but also Eevee and the others.

This is the true power of legendary Pokémon; even severely injured and far from reaching their ultimate form, they still possess an astonishing aura of power.

But after looking at Lin Xuan for a while, Necrozma seemed to sense that something was wrong.

[No, there's something wrong with your body. This isn't your real age. You should be older, but someone has reversed time in your body.]

Necrozma immediately saw the problem with Lin Xuan. At that moment, Lin Xuan felt the constraints that had been weighing on him lessen, and the crystal slowly floated towards Necrozma.

My... power!

As the crystal floated over and merged with Necrozma, Lin Xuan could sense the excitement, even... madness, in Necrozma's voice!

However, according to the Ultimate Investigation Team's records, Necrozma was the guy who went crazy for Kouji.

Because light is the source of his life energy, if he loses light, his body will be like it is now, with black impurities gradually accumulating until they completely occupy his body.

Lin Xuan wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but after completely absorbing the crystal, he felt that Necrozma's body seemed to have become slightly more lustrous than before, and its original pure black color had turned into a lighter black, with some parts even turning gray.

This is a sign that Necrozma's health is gradually improving.

At this moment, Lin Xuan didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to create this crystal for Necrozma. After all, if a powerful first-level god had a cruel personality, his appearance in this world would undoubtedly be a disaster.

[Little one, don't worry. My injuries won't heal that quickly. Even if I find the scattered fragments, most of the energy within them has been lost, which isn't enough for me to fully recover.]

Seemingly sensing Lin Xuan's worries, Necrozma's seemingly emotionless voice entered Lin Xuan's mind.

Lin Xuan, whose thoughts had been seen through, could only smile awkwardly.

After all, it's not a good thing to have your thoughts seen through, since you're essentially on guard against the other party.

"So how did you become like this?"

Instead of worrying about my situation, you should worry about yourself.

Necrozma's voice continued to come.

"Why?" Lin Xuan was a little puzzled. Although she had become younger, putting aside some of the inconveniences, it wasn't entirely a bad thing. In fact, many people might want to do it but couldn't.

[Time within you has been reversed, but the time power that guy wields is strange, as if it doesn't belong to this world. This power lingers within you, constantly clashing with your body. You won't notice anything unusual in the short term, but over time, your body will become riddled with holes.]

It seemed that because Lin Xuan had given her important body fragments, Necrozma was willing to chat with Lin Xuan a little longer.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Xuan immediately lost her composure. What a joke! She hadn't even figured out what was going on!

Is there any way to solve this?

[If I were in my complete form, I could do it; even if the opponent's strength was not much weaker than mine at that time, it wouldn't be much weaker. But now... I can't do it.]

Necrozma said very sincerely.

"Aren't you the Radiant God?"

Lin Xuan wore a somewhat displeased expression, as if implying that even a great god like you has things you can't do.

Necrozma paused for a moment.

"Forget it, after all, many things are just legends. Even if someone is called the Radiant God, they may not actually be a god. There are many things they may not be able to do, and I can understand that."

Lin Xuan sighed and said, while Necrozma remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence.

Do you think I'd do anything because of what you said?

"No, I was just saying it casually, you don't have to take it seriously."

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, a strong light emanated from Necrozma's body, and his body seemed to fully unfold, causing the traces of the black substance deposited on his body to disappear rapidly.

It seems that the true face of the Radiant God has reappeared.

The light emanating from Necrozma enveloped Lin Xuan, giving him a warm feeling and a slightly itchy sensation.

Along with it seemed to come the sound of bones growing, as if the time that had been forcibly reversed was about to return to Lin Xuan.

But just when Lin Xuan thought the process would continue, Necrozma's light stopped.

Lin Xuan found this a bit strange, but Necrozma quickly explained.

I can forcibly correct the reversed time within your body, but if I do that, your body will be torn to pieces by the two temporal forces, and perhaps not even the most basic matter will be left behind.

"Isn't that the most utterly despicable person?"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched, but she still spoke with some reluctance.

"Then there's nothing we can do?"

[Yes, we've found the one who distorted time within you. He can correct it, or once I return to my full state and absorb that fragment, my body is gradually recovering.]

"How long will it take?"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Wasn't this another hope? As long as Necrozma recovered, she could help him.

Of course, Lin Xuan wasn't stupid. If that guy said he needed her help to recover, Lin Xuan wouldn't easily believe him.

I can do it myself, it just needs a little time.

Does the glorious god need human help? Don't think that just because you helped me find the scattered fragments, I'll think more highly of you.

"how long?"

A thousand years is enough.
