Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"What can I do for you?" the person in charge on the other end asked, puzzled.

"Um, I just wanted to ask if it's possible for the Pokémon to battle on its own without the trainer participating?"

Person in charge: ? ? ?

Chapter 123 No need to revive Lin Xuan, I will surpass Lin Xuan!

"This, this, this seems to be unprecedented..."

The competition organizer's voice trembled slightly. While he could still make decisions on other matters, this one…

“It’s normal for there to be some special circumstances when organizing a competition for the first time. Now that we have this as a precedent, right?” Zhao Qi said, pretending to be somewhat dissatisfied.

"It's not that our competition has no precedent, but I've never seen a competition where the trainer doesn't participate. This is explicitly prohibited in many competitions and is considered disrespectful to the opponent. Please don't make things difficult for me..." the person in charge said with a wry smile.

In Pokémon battles, which are a competitive sport, a player's absence is a serious matter. If no special reason is given, the player may even be punished by the organizers, such as having their original prize money or prizes deducted.

"Isn't this a special case?" Zhao Qi was still unwilling to give up and continued to persuade him.

"Lin Xuan is seriously ill, and his Pokémon is determined to win the championship for its master. Isn't that a great promotional material? It better reflects the bond and indomitable will between us college trainers and our Pokémon." Zhao Qi paused for a moment, then continued to emphasize.

"By the way! Let's promote our competition a bit more so that it can be organized better in the future, which will also benefit you more, don't you think?"

"This……"

Zhao Qi's words really struck a chord with him. Their Qihang Group had invested a considerable amount in this competition, but so far, perhaps because it coincided with a major tournament, apart from Lin Xuan's video going slightly viral, it had indeed been rather lukewarm.

If it doesn't bring in enough revenue, their group will naturally stop sponsoring it, and his life as the person in charge won't be easy either.

"Then... make an exception this time?" he asked, somewhat uncertainly.

“I think it’s a good idea!” Zhao Qi nodded solemnly.

Zhao Qi then discussed the relevant matters with the other party, and the final result was satisfactory. Xiao Dian gained the right to participate in the competition, and the organizer gained traffic. It was a win-win situation!

Then Zhao Qi quietly entered Lin Xuan's lounge and gave Xiao Dian an OK sign.

"It's all settled. You can participate in your match this afternoon on your own."

"dawn……"

Just as Little Dot was about to cheer, he was slapped to the ground by Eevee.

"Boy!"

Keep your voice down!

"Dandan~"

Xiao Dian glanced at Lin Xuan, who was still resting to the side, and quickly covered her mouth and nodded.

Zhao Qi stood aside, watching all this with a smile. It's good to be young. Back when he and Pikachu were still students, it seemed like it was the same, right? It's just that Lin Xuan's Electabuzz was much more mischievous than his Pikachu.

The halftime break passed quickly, and the afternoon match was about to officially begin.

As the time drew near, the stands gradually filled with people.

"Is Lin Xuan really alright?" Li Yuan asked with some concern. Although he had just sent Lin Xuan a message and received a reply that he was "fine," judging from his appearance this morning, he was practically about to collapse on the ground.

"He should be fine. Brother Lin has always been in pretty good health."

"You don't understand, do you? There's a saying, what's it again, 'great things come from small beginnings'? It means someone who never gets sick, but once they do, it's a very serious illness."

"Pah! Who taught you that idiom?" Li Yuan rolled his eyes at his classmate.

Not only in the audience, but also in the official live stream, a large number of Lin Xuan's fans were flooding the chat with comments.

Where is Teacher Mimikyu?

It shouldn't be that bad, right?

If they withdraw from the competition, they should be notified in advance.

[But given Mimikyu's current condition, is she really still capable of playing competitive matches?]

【Ugh, take my healing power!】

Soon after, the commentator announced today's match in the official live broadcast room.

"I have some very regrettable news to share. Lin Xuan from Huaxia Elf University will be unable to participate in this afternoon's competition due to illness. However, the contestant herself is fine, so please don't worry."

Right from the start, the host dropped a bombshell.

While Lin Xuan was asleep, medical personnel went to check on him and found that it was just a normal cold and fever. They said he would be fine after taking some medicine and resting for a few days.

Moreover, Song Chen's method was really effective. Lin Xuan slept for so long without moving her eyes at all, which made Eevee, who was watching from the side, wonder if the blond Eevee had really sent off the black-haired person.

[So it's really impossible to fight anymore?]

[Waaaaah, Teacher Mimikyu!]

[It's good that Teacher Mimiqiu is alright.]

【what a pity! 】

[Sigh, without Teacher Mimiqiu, I'm outta here]

Just as some people were preparing to flee, the host dropped an even more explosive bombshell.

"However, due to Lin Xuan's insistence on Emolga, and after discussion by the organizing committee, Emolga was allowed to compete without a trainer."

【? ? ? 】

[This works?]

【Great! 】

Keep it up, little one!

But this is impossible to fight.

The audience was shocked and bewildered upon seeing the news. Some were happy that Xiao Dian could continue the competition, but many others began to worry.

Can you really win a game just by being small?

In terms of raw skill, Xiaodian is clearly inferior to many of their opponents over the years, and often only managed to win thanks to Lin Xuan's excellent command. But now, without Lin Xuan…

Never mind, keep it up, little one!

[What's so special about Teacher Mimikyu? I'm just a little kid compared to her.]

[Small point: There's no need to revive Lin Xuan; I will surpass her!]

That's enough for now, Mimikyu-sensei is still alive.

[Mimimitchu: When did I die?]

After the news of Xiaodian's participation was announced for a while, everyone calmed down. So what if they lost? At least Xiaodian tried her best. Although some people were still unwilling, there was nothing that could be done.

In Lin Xuan's lounge

"Dandan~"

Little Dot waved to Ibu, telling her to take good care of Lin Xuan.

"Boy!"

[Go ahead without worry, I'll take care of Lin Xuan!]

Little Dot: ...

The way you're saying it gives me the feeling that I might never come back once I leave.

But it still flew slowly towards the arena. Having followed Lin Xuan for so long, Xiao Dian naturally knew the way.

Just before flying out of the passage, the little dot paused in mid-air for a moment.

Lin Xuan had always been there to guide him when he passed through here before, but today he had to rely on himself.

But today he's going to prove that Lin Xuan can just focus on making a living through live streaming, and he can handle things like competitions just as well!

"Dandan!"

【come on! 】

Little Dot encouraged itself, then gently flapped its wings and glided outwards.

Chapter 124 The Battle of the Small Points

As soon as Xiaodian stepped out of the passage, cheers and shouts of encouragement erupted from the audience.

"Keep it up, little one!"

"rely on you!"

"Let's carry on the will of Master Mimikyu!"

If Lin Xuan were here right now, he would definitely twist the head off that guy who just spoke. What do you mean he inherited his will? He's still alive and well!

"Uh... please get ready, players."

The referee on the battle platform was a little confused as he watched the little dot fly up alone amidst the cheers of the audience. After all, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, but he still spoke to the trainer opposite the little dot according to procedure.

"it is good……"
