Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Ahem, don't spread rumors, Xiaodian and I have a very good relationship," Lin Xuan said after coughing twice. Surely it wouldn't warrant having his oxygen tube removed?

Not to mention there's an Eevee there too. Even if the smaller one wanted to pull out the Eevee, it would probably stop him, right?

"Alright, the match begins. Emboar wants to use Bodybuilding first. His opponent's intention is probably to directly enhance once and then use an attack to defeat Electabuzz in one go, after all, Emboar's output ability is terrifying."

"But the mysterious player also knew this and didn't give Yanwu King a chance to strengthen, directly casting a net over him. At this moment, the live stream also switched to our viewers, whose eyes revealed three parts indifference, three parts mockery and four parts nonchalance, clearly not taking the net seriously at all and not considering it a threat."

"Once Yanwu King's physique is fully enhanced, tearing through this electric net will be as easy as tearing through stockings."

[The whimsical metaphors used by Teacher Qiu]

A Closer Look at Stockings

Have you torn it?

"However, the viewers clearly underestimated the power of this power grid, which directly interrupted Yanwu Wang's bodybuilding. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. The mysterious player was also very cautious and did not attack directly at this time. Instead, he chose to have the Electric Flying Squirrel use Shadow Clone, which was too conservative."

At this point, Lin Xuan looked up at the comments and realized that these guys seemed to be focusing on something different.

"The streamer isn't cute, so of course there's no drama. You people, your heads are full of this kind of nonsense all day long. No wonder you're all so old and still don't have girlfriends watching my stream. Can't you learn from me and be a little more pure-minded?" Lin Xuan said irritably.

【? ? ? 】

【So you're looking for Gardevoir?】

It's hard to say. Given Teacher Mimi's looks, it's unlikely she'll actually find someone cute.

[Damn, that hurts.]

I can't learn it, I can't learn it.

This was just a minor incident, and Lin Xuan quickly steered the conversation back to the competition.

"After the bodybuilding was interrupted, Yanwu King used the Charged Flame Strike to forcefully break through the electric grid's restraints, but because Xiaodian's movement speed was too fast, coupled with the existence of the shadow clone, Yanwu King could not catch Xiaodian's figure at all."

"This is where the benefits of watching our live streams come in. Viewers used hot water and flamethrower skills to create a large amount of water vapor covering the entire area, hoping to capture the small dot's true form. This is a little trick that we taught in our previous live streams."

"But this move seems a bit like showing off in front of the mysterious player. I think this mysterious player is very likely one of our viewers in the live stream. He also mocked us, saying that we are not good enough and that we should watch him! Even if the clone is exposed, with a little speed, the opponent is still helpless."

[It could very well be a fan]

[Male viewer, could you move aside? I'd like to watch from a smaller screen.]

I want to see baby Ibuki.

【I'm different, I want them all!】

"At the same time, everyone please pay attention. While Yanwu King was setting up the venue, Xiaodian also secretly set up a trap nearby. I would call this a divine move, which put Yanwu King in a completely passive position."

"At the same time, Xiaodian used Lightning Flash to flank Yanwu King and then used the Cheek Smash skill to paralyze him. Yanwu King didn't care anymore and shouted, 'Ugh, I'll fight you to the death! Take this arm hammer!'"

"Once Xiaodian gets hit by the arm hammer, the situation that was previously advantageous will be reversed again. At this point, it will depend on Xiaodian's reaction speed."

"At this point, the viewers were clearly thinking of going all in, but unfortunately, our mysterious player was still one step ahead!"

[Isn't this all thanks to Xiao Dian?]

[Seriously, what's it to you?]

[Male viewers, please leave]

Chapter 118: Knowing Everything from the Progress Bar

At this moment, the camera also focused on Xiaodian, who patted her chest with her paw as if she was still a little scared, which was incredibly cute to many viewers.

"After Yanwu King fell into a paralyzed state, the situation on the scene was completely under the control of the mysterious contestant, who kept using Thunderbolt to wear down his opponent's stamina. But this fan's skill is undeniable; he seized an opportunity and made a precise prediction, allowing the Flamethrower to hit a small spot, and the situation seems to have changed?"

"But unfortunately, even this situation was still within the mysterious contestant's expectations. Did you see the electric net that was set up on the ground early on? The water mist that Yanwu King originally used to track Xiaodian's figure actually blocked his vision, causing him to step straight into it," Lin Xuan said with a somewhat regretful tone.

Although he knew that even if he didn't step in, the outcome of the game wouldn't change.

"This is the importance of contingency plans. After all, there are always many unexpected situations in a game, so we need to be fully prepared. The smaller 100,000 volts hit again, and Yanwu King fell down. At this point, an ordinary person might have let their guard down and thought that Yanwu King had no ability to resist."

"That's not the case. Although Yanwu King's defense is average, his stamina is quite abundant. The mysterious contestant also felt that the opponent would not give up so easily. He was too cautious and remained very careful even at this point."

When Lin Xuan uttered the phrase "100,000 volts," the scene conveniently cut to Tang Ming, who was sighing deeply, clearly indicating that his scheme had failed.

They're all cunning boys.

A battle between two cunning old foxes.

[As expected, those who watch Mimikyuu-sensei are all wicked.]

If it were me, I probably would have been tricked.

Don't worry, you wouldn't even be able to play to this level and you'd lose.

[...That's so heartbreaking]

"This fan is already very strong, and I hope he can continue to improve and achieve good results in the tournament!"

[The viewer was very skilled, but still lost.]

[Classic: When the enemy is stronger, I win]

"Thank you for the SC for Yanwu King's marriage - [Thank you for the guidance from Mimikyu-sensei] Uh, I'm too kind."

Lin Xuan was also surprised that Tang Ming was still watching her live stream. But it made sense, since she had been eliminated and no longer needed to study her opponents, so she naturally had some free time.

But why do I have this strange feeling of being caught?

"Thanks to SC from Pokémon Summit for not talking about love -- [What will Mimikyu-sensei commentate on next?] Let's go see what Littleie's opponent will be tomorrow."

Lin Xuan replied almost without hesitation that although the information Song Chen provided included almost everything needed, some things couldn't be written down on paper and had to be seen in actual combat.

For example, the trainer's own personality can also influence the direction of Pokémon training.

If a trainer is cautious, their Pokémon training will tend to focus on strengthening, stacking defenses, and attrition. If they are short-tempered, they will be more inclined to be straightforward.

In terms of the Iron Claw Lobster's moveset, Lin Xuan prefers the latter.

Lin Xuan retrieved the battle video of the Iron Claw Lobster trainer's previous match. His opponent was also a student from Imperial University, and the Pokémon he used was a Bronze Bell, which was no weaker than the Iron Claw Lobster in terms of strength.

However, it was unlucky and its attributes were severely countered. Although the Iron Claw Lobster was not fast, it depended on who it was compared to. Compared to the Little Point, it was naturally no match, but compared to the Bronze Bell, the situation was completely reversed.

Moreover, this bronze bell had not learned the crucial skill of Trick Space, so it's quite normal that it was no match for it.

"The Iron Claw Lobster used Sword Dance first, which was very greedy. However, it was a well-matched opponent. It probably knew that the opponent's Bronze Bell did not have the Trick Space skill, otherwise it would never have let the Bronze Bell act so easily."

"But the Bronze Bell doesn't care about you. If you dare to use your sword dance, I'll use my Iron Wall. Believe me, once my Iron Wall is strengthened, I can pounce on you and crush you with my butt."

In Lin Xuan's view, the skill "Pounce" is essentially an overpowered skill. This is because the skill "Iron Wall" is designed to increase defense, but with the skill "Pounce," the ability to attack is also increased while defense is enhanced, making the benefits seem excessive.

Just like Zacian and Zamazenta, their strengths are worlds apart, mainly because Zamazenta doesn't know how to pounce.

In fact, there are many Pokémon that can learn both Iron Defense and Sucker Punch, but apart from the two Urshifu, only Kommo-o has Sucker Punch.

Perhaps this can be considered a limitation.

"Sure enough, after seeing Bronze Bell sitting down to strengthen itself, Iron Claw Lobster couldn't sit still anymore. What would happen if it strengthened itself like this? Iron Claw Lobster is weak in Fighting. If it really sat down on it, even if it's not its own type, it probably wouldn't be able to take it."

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, a powerful jet of water shot out from the back of the iron claw lobster's tail, propelling his body forward.

"Water jets can be seen as a flash of lightning in a water system; there isn't much difference."

As he said this, Lin Xuan's gaze was fixed on the iron-clawed lobster. He wanted to confirm just how fast this iron-clawed lobster was.

After observing for a while, Lin Xuan concluded that it was a little slower than Xiao Dian, but overall the difference was not significant, and it was still possible to be attacked if one was not careful.

If Tang Ming wins today's match, Lin Xuan estimates that he will also lose. After all, the attribute suppression is still very difficult to bear, coupled with the speed suppression of the water jet. Unless Yan Wu Wang can hit an arm hammer, he will not be able to find an opportunity.

"The Iron Claw Lobster came to the bronze bell and then launched a sneak attack on its vital points. After all, neither side was allowed to use props in this match, so the power of the slam could not be brought into play. Moreover, the skill of sneak attacking vital points has a special and powerful effect—" Lin Xuan paused for a moment before slowly saying.

"This skill is easy to hit vital points. Once it hits a vital point, the iron wall before the Bronze Bell is completely useless. No matter how high its durability is, it will be hard to withstand the Iron Claw Lobster after Sword Dance."

"However, even if it's 'easy' to launch a sneak attack on a vital point, the probability is actually quite high..."

Lin Xuan paused, not because he was contradicted by the subsequent rapid reversal, but because he accidentally saw the progress bar while moving the mouse, instantly understood everything, and immediately changed his tune.

"I have a feeling this sneak attack will hit a vital point!"

Chapter 119 It's alright, I won't die for now.

【? ? ? 】

If I'm not mistaken, did you just move the mouse?

[After seeing the progress bar, one can speak with confidence.]

"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. What progress bar? I didn't see it at all!" Lin Xuan said stubbornly. As long as he didn't admit it, it was as if this had never happened.

"Achoo~" Lin Xuan sneezed for some reason. She probably caught a chill at noon, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

"The Iron Claw Lobster's sneak attack hit Bronze Bell precisely, striking his vital point and causing extremely high damage. Neither of the players seemed to have expected this. It can only be said that Bronze Bell was a bit unlucky."

The outcome is obvious; the Iron Claw Lobster won the match anyway, and Lin Xuan was just there to observe his opponent and review the game.

It's a pity, though. If that sneak attack hadn't hit a vital spot, the Bronze Bell wouldn't have been completely without a chance. If it had used its Iron Wall ability and launched a pounce, even the Iron Claw Lobster's durability would have been hard-pressed to withstand it a few times.

However, Lin Xuan remembered that this Crawdance also knew the move Dark Pulse. After all, Crawdance's Special Attack wasn't bad, so it was reasonable for it to learn two STAB Special Attack moves. Therefore, there wasn't much suspense.

The match ended relatively quickly, but Lin Xuan saw what he wanted to see: the speed of the Iron Claw Lobster. He had a general idea of ​​what was going on, which would help him formulate tactics for tomorrow's match.

"Alright, alright, it's time to end the broadcast~ There are no more matches today." Lin Xuan said after glancing at the time.
