Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Thinking this through, and seeing that it was almost time, Lin Xuan decided on the title for her live stream.

[Deep Reflection, Heartbreaking Loss of the Top 32]

The moment Lin Xuan clicked to start the live stream, a huge crowd of people flooded in.

How dare you even broadcast live?

What's with the "disappearance of the top 32"?

[Where's the camera?! Won't the Mimic Master show his face yet?]

"Ahem, I never expected my looks to be discovered this way, so I didn't prepare a camera. Anyway, everyone knows what I look like, so I won't show it~"

Lin Xuan helplessly shrugged.

"Thanks to Shadow Lantern's SC -- [What is Mimikyu-sensei going to broadcast tonight?] Ahem, as you all probably know, I participated in a small competition these past few days, and this morning and noon I painfully lost my place in the top 64 and top 32 respectively. I'm here to reflect on this deeply."

【? ? ? 】

[A small competition, right?]

Have you forgotten that you also did some part-time commentary for the matches?

Are you sure this is what you call reflection?

Got it, Mimikyu is about to brag about himself again.

[Let's get hyped!]

Chapter 117 No wonder I couldn't find Mengmengda

Lin Xuan's live stream tonight is mainly to make up for the missed broadcasts this morning and noon. In addition, since her identity has been exposed, it seems inappropriate not to broadcast.

After all, even Li Yuan and the others came to ask about Lin Xuan's situation. After Lin Xuan told them a few truths, he simply told them to "get lost."

"Thank you to the admiral Ralts who loves adventure, you're so generous! Thank you for the SC: [Mimikyu-sensei, with the money for the camera, let's buy a better one] Uh... I'll buy it now."

Since things have come to this point, it doesn't seem right not to buy. Anyway, all the details have been revealed, so let him show his face. He can just go to the beauty section for a live stream, which would be more in line with his identity.

"Ahem, enough talk, let's start with today's reflection session."

As she spoke, Lin Xuan pulled up the video recordings of the battles that morning and noon.

There's no other way, there's no match tonight, and in order to help Xiao Dian prepare for the match and train, we haven't prepared any live broadcast materials or anything, so we'll just use what's readily available.

"First of all, our mysterious player is still using Emolga, not the Eevee he's holding. Is there some special reason behind this? The streamer doesn't know much about it either. Maybe this Eevee is the mysterious player's strongest Pokémon," Lin Xuan said seriously.

[Is there still a mystery player in the lineup?]

[Ibrahimovic: Ah, right, right, right]

[If you're so capable, why don't you let Ibrahimovic play tomorrow?]

"And the opponent's Pokémon is a Seed Ball! This Pokémon is really something else. The opponent probably wanted to use a Ferrothorn, but they accidentally mistook it for a Poké Ball due to nervousness, so they had to send Seed Ball to take their father's place."

"The Seed Ball's ability is Iron Spikes, a very troublesome ability. In addition, its Grass/Steel type can resist Electric-type moves and is only weak to Fire and Fighting, making it a very good defensive type. Although the Electric/Flying type also perfectly resists Grass/Steel, the overall advantage is not significant. However, the mysterious player was able to turn this small advantage into the key to victory. Let's see how he did it!"

So how did he do it?

The host is curious too!

I can't take it anymore!

[Bangbang, I'll punch you!]

"The battle has now begun. The mysterious player anticipated that his opponent would use the Parasite Seed and immediately used Shadow Clone to form an absolute defensive stance. The Seed Ball was not to be outdone and also used Pin Missile to try to destroy all the clones."

"But little did they know that all of this was within the mysterious contestant's expectations. Little... ptooey! Emolga used Quick Attack, and this is the real Quick Attack. Look at the other Pokémon, they don't even have electricity, yet they dare to call themselves Quick Attack? They're all imposters~ This is the real deal, everyone remember to practice in this direction."

[I remember now, Ms. Mimikyu seems to have accidentally called out Little's name before.]

Damn it, I didn't even notice it back then!

[A true flash of lightning]

"Thanks to SC, who is the real Quick Attack—【Mimi Qiu, why is the mysterious player's Quick Attack electrified? Is it cheating? Can I report it to the official channels?】I reported you, and you reported me!?"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched. These guys are really fast at changing their names. Is it because changing the name on Bilibili is free?

"The mysterious player's Emolga circled directly behind the Seed Iron Ball and unleashed a Thunderbolt, causing the Seed Iron Ball to lose its balance and fall to the ground. It's clear that the opponent's tactical planning was somewhat lacking. They didn't choose the Root move immediately. Otherwise, if they could keep recovering their health, it would have taken Emolga some time to finish it off."

"The strength of a Pokémon like Seed Ball lies in its durability. Even after evolving into Ferrothorn, it still relies on its durability. While its offensive capabilities aren't weak, it still makes up for its weaknesses. It can use Leech Seed and Toxic to send the opponent to its doom, then use Iron Defense a couple of times, and occasionally use Tackle or Gyro Ball. Unless it encounters a Fire-type Pokémon, most Fighting-type Pokémon can't take it down."

"Because of its Iron Defense move and Iron Spikes ability, Ferrothorn is a very difficult Pokémon to break through in terms of physical attack. If you encounter it, my advice is to just use a Fire-type Pokémon to burn it down, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

Despite boasting about herself for a long time, Lin Xuan finally gave some serious advice.

[Iron wall, parasitic seeds, deadly poison, and pouncing attack—this is so dirty!]

Those who play the submissive team are all filthy.

[I'm tempted! I want to get a nut-filled dumbbell to annoy my opponent too!]

This shows the importance of dual attacks. For example, with a Pokémon like Chansey, trying to break through its special attack is simply wishful thinking. While Ferrothorn isn't quite as extreme, it's not far off.

So please don't be surprised if you encounter big explosions, thunder, or water cannons in real life; these are all normal phenomena.

After the video played to the point where Xiaodian used 100,000 volts to destroy the seed iron ball, Lin Xuan exited the video.

"Thanks to SC from 'Not Love Strength 12138' -- [Mimi Qiu Teacher, go check out Brother Strength's posts first, there's something good there], when did Brother Strength start having high-quality imitations?" Lin Xuan couldn't help but complain after reading it, but still searched for it out of curiosity.

Then, it was discovered that Song Chen had posted a photo of himself on his social media, the one of him stuffing a bottle into his bag, looking at the camera with a bewildered expression.

The photo even had a caption: "Oops, we've been caught collecting bottles!"

Then Lin Xuan glanced at the content in the feed.

Teacher Mimiqiu's bottle-collecting efforts are not easy, so please remember to support him.

Hmm~ Although it's considered support, it just sounds so awkward.

【? ? ? 】

[Teacher Qiu, who is actually imitating a riddle, actually picked up bottles.]

【Mr. Mimikyu, please stop collecting bottles, okay? I'll give you all my bottles】

[Sobbing, tears welling up]

[Am I the only one focusing on Mimikyu-sensei herself? Is this what a good-looking streamer is like?]

[Regarding the previous comment, I suggest you check out Mimikyu's embarrassing past.]

What dark history?

[A video of Teacher Mimicking Qiu's cringeworthy lines]

"How do I report this post?" Lin Xuan said through gritted teeth, then found the three dots next to the post.

"Reason for reporting... Personal attack! Malicious slander and defamation against me! If this report is unsuccessful, I will just keep reporting it!"

"Thanks to Tyranitar who loves grass for the SC: [Mimikyu-sensei, stop picking up bottles. Here's some money for you to buy some mineral water. Remember to keep the bottles so you can sell them later.] You're such a little genius."

"Thanks to Flying Groudon's SC - [Mimikyu-sensei, stop collecting bottles, I'll send you all my bottles] Is it possible that you could just transfer the shipping cost to me as a gift?"

Song Chen's post wasn't the most infuriating thing; the real problem was that Zhong Mingyi actually reposted it. Good grief, did he want everyone to know he was picking up bottles?

"The streamer didn't pick up the bottles; it was simply because he cares about the environment!"

Lin Xuan explained for a long time, but no one listened at all; all the comments were just saying "Ah, right, right, right" in the live chat.

"Alright, alright, let's move on to the next match. This match is going to be extremely difficult. Many times, our mystery player was just a hair's breadth away from losing."

"The strength of our opponents goes without saying. They seem to be one of our viewers in the live stream. More importantly, they are players from Imperial University. I believe everyone can understand how strong they are. They are using Emboar, one of the very powerful starter Pokémon. They are definitely among the strongest players in this competition."

Lin Xuan first praised Tang Ming, which made the viewers in the live chat feel a little uncomfortable.

[They've stopped bragging about themselves?]

Do you understand the concept of "first suppressing, then elevating"?

[So you're going to praise your opponent first, and then praise yourself, huh?]

The question is, how did they lose to such a strong opponent?

"So the question is, who defeated such a powerful Flame Martial King? Let's wait and see!"

After Lin Xuan opened the video, she pressed the play button. The video did not include the part where they greeted each other at the beginning; if it did, it would probably be in the bonus content.

Why does it seem like Mimikyu-sensei has become even more shameless after her identity was exposed?

[This should be considered a revelation of one's true nature.]

[Since we're going to show our faces anyway, we can naturally be shameless, doge]

"Even before the battle started, it was easy to see that there was a certain gap in strength between the two Pokémon. This Emboar is not weak among two-star Pokémon, while this Emolga is not even two-star. Considering the mysterious player's excellent command ability, we have every reason to guess that this Emolga is not working hard and has not trained properly!"

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, she felt a chill on her neck for some reason, but when she looked back, Xiao Dian wasn't behind her. There were also sounds of people playing games outside, probably playing games with Eevee.

[Small dot: ???]

[Point: This livestreamer is spreading rumors about me.]

[I already foresaw this scene—Doctor; your pet is just… a little…: unplug the oxygen tube.]

[This is beyond saving; you're destined to be taken off the oxygen tube. Perhaps Mimikyu-sensei could try being nicer to Eevee in the future.]
