Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

[A weak, feeble scream]

Is Little Dot about to start a rebellion?

[What rebellion? This is called "Suppressing the Rebellion in Accordance with the Mandate of Heaven"! Count me in!]

"Dandan~"

Xiao Dian, unusually, ignored the comments in the live stream and cautiously whispered a few words in Lin Xuan's ear.

"What? Say it again?"

Xiao Dian's voice was too soft for Lin Xuan to hear clearly, so Xiao Dian had to shout a little louder in his ear.

"Dandan!"

I think I've gotten stronger!

Lin Xuan: ...

Lin Xuan patted her ears, which had almost gone deaf from Xiao Dian's yelling, and looked at Xiao Dian with a puzzled expression, saying:

"What, still dreaming from your afternoon nap?"

Small dot: *(￣皿￣)/#

He also addressed the viewers in the live stream.

That's all for today's live stream. See you tomorrow!

Lin Xuan said goodbye and then ended the broadcast. His main purpose in going live was to let everyone know that he was safe and sound, and now that it seemed that was enough, he decided to end the broadcast.

"Ah~ I'm a little tired again, I'll just lie down~"

She wasn't very sleepy, after all, she had slept for almost a whole day, but right now Lin Xuan just wanted to lie still.

"Dan dan dan!"

Seeing that Lin Xuan was ignoring her, Xiao Dian quickly stepped forward to explain to him.

I've really gotten stronger!

If it were just once, Lin Xuan would have just let it go as Xiao Dian was joking, but now that he's so serious... it doesn't seem like he's kidding?

"How much stronger have you become?"

"Dandan...Dandandandan!"

[That guy from lunchtime, I feel like I could take him down in one go!]

Lin Xuan: ...

It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this leap in your thinking is a bit too big.

Then Little Dot flew around the room several times quickly, and it was visibly much faster than it had been in the morning.

"This... he's broken through to the two-star level?"

Lin Xuan said uncertainly, because although Xiao Dian was very close to the two-star level before, he was always just one step away. He was able to win the game before by fighting monsters of higher levels.

"Dandan!"

Little Dot nodded. He felt that this was probably true. Whether it was strength, speed, or current, there had been a significant improvement compared to this morning.

"When did this happen?" Lin Xuan asked curiously. It couldn't have been that Xiao Dian broke through while training, could it? Wouldn't that make him, the trainer, seem rather unremarkable?

"Dandan!"

[After defeating that guy at noon!]

So, it was after defeating Dream Eclipse in the dream?

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment. Xiao Dian did indeed unleash a power he shouldn't have had while asleep. Was that when he broke through?

"In that case, we might actually have a chance to win the championship."

Lin Xuan muttered to herself that she had almost no hope that Xiao Dian would win the championship, because even if Xiao Dian won against the Flower Therapy Ring, there would be an even stronger competitor in the next match—a Sharptooth Garchomp.

The first Pokémon is a pseudo-legendary. Lin Xuan could only think, what kind of family is this?

While pseudo-legendary Pokémon are not suitable as starter Pokémon in a sense, one reason is that their evolution cycle is long and requires a lot of resources... although those who can afford pseudo-legendary Pokémon eggs are not short of these resources.

As for the other point, before a pseudo-legendary Pokémon evolves into its final form, it is not significantly different from a regular Pokémon, and may even be weaker.

However, relatively speaking, Garchomp is considered one of the more "approachable" pseudo-legendary Pokémon, with a shorter evolution cycle compared to the others and decent strength.

Lin Xuan had been following the strength of this Garchomp, and it was extremely powerful, almost on a different level from other Pokémon. Moreover, this contestant was from Shanghai University. Lin Xuan checked the information on the Shanghai University website and found that this Garchomp had defeated that Dream Eater with a significant advantage during the freshman competition.

Although his opponent in this semi-final was not weak, he was clearly no match for him.

"Come, come, I have something to tell you."

Lin Xuan waved to Xiao Dian and pulled him over.

"When we fight tomorrow, remember... understand?"

"Dandan?"

【Not again?】

Xiao Dian scratched his head and said helplessly, "This tactic almost made Lin Xuan have another hater at school before. Do we have to repeat it now?"

"Since no one knows you've broken through to a higher level, wouldn't it be a shame not to make good use of it?"

Mindblom was already having a tough time against Garchomp, as Garchomp was immune to Electric-type moves due to its Ground type. Unlike Ash, Mindblom wasn't a master of type reversal, so its best Electric-type moves were basically useless.

Furthermore, that Garchomp seems to have the Rough Skin ability, similar to Iron Spikes, which can damage Pokémon that come into contact with it.

With such a significant disadvantage in attributes, Lin Xuan has no idea how to win without resorting to tactical methods.

"Listen to me, do you still want your new phone watch?" Lin Xuan said in a seductive tone.

"Dan Dan!" Hearing this, Little Point's eyes lit up. He had long wanted to watch anime while training, just like Ibu.

【come on! 】

boom!

Just as Lin Xuan and Xiao Dian were about to high-five in celebration, an explosion suddenly came from outside the living room.

"What did you blow up this time?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lin Xuan immediately thought of that pitiful television from before, and then looked at Xiao Dian.

Small dot: ? ? ?

"Dandan!"

I'm in my room!

"Could it be Ibrahimovic?"

The man and the mouse rushed into the living room and saw Eevee sitting calmly on the sofa watching TV. There were many fragments on the floor beside it. Lin Xuan looked at them and thought they looked familiar, like... the Psychic Ball?

"If you don't have enough, just say so! At least you can sell it on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app), you don't know how to save money for your master at all."

Lin Xuan picked up a broom and swept up the broken pieces on the ground with a pained expression, as if it wasn't just the superpower ball that was broken, but that this thing was not cheap.

"Dan dan dan!"

【That's right!】(￣▽￣)“

Little Dot chimed in from the side, "He's always the one who gets scolded, this time it's finally Ibrahimovic's turn!"

"Boy!"

【I already told you this!】(*￣︿￣)

He remembered that Lin Xuan had just told him to come find him after he had actually crushed it.

"Hey, is there any?"

It seems there really was such a thing, but he subconsciously ignored it.

"Boy!"

【Yes, I have!】

"Ahem, never mind, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."

Lin Xuan said somewhat awkwardly that it was indeed his oversight, mainly because he did not expect Ibrahimovic to improve so quickly.

Lin Xuan even felt that Ibrahimovic was ready to start learning self-motivation skills, so that he wouldn't have any problems going into battle.

"Buyi~"

Ibrahimovic doesn't care. This way, he can relax tonight and watch anime on the sofa without having to train. Yay!

"By the way, since the superpower ball is broken, let's focus on physical training for now. Let's start by running two laps on the treadmill."

“布伊？”(+_+)?

It's not quite what I expected.
