Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Although I had a vague suspicion when I heard the news about the dojo from Song Chen, I was still very shocked when I actually heard the reply.

However, in terms of skill, Xiao Zhong is definitely capable of being a gym leader, but the problem lies in...

Why did he come to Jianghai City?

If Lin Xuan remembers correctly, several cities, including Shanghai and Beijing, have plans to open dojos. Zhong Mingyi is from Shanghai, so staying in Shanghai is the most reasonable thing for him, right?

"Shanghai and Beijing are located in important cities, so people were assigned to them in advance, which is equivalent to pre-selection. Senior also chose Jianghai City from the remaining cities."

Then Song Chen gave Lin Xuan a strange look.

"I thought your senior had already told you, because he said that the first thing he would do when he came to Jianghai City was to come and find you. Maybe he wanted to give you a surprise."

"No, I think it might be a shock." Lin Xuan's lips twitched.

After discussing these topics, Lin Xuan restarted her live stream.

What did they say?

Is there anything we can't listen to?

[Sobbing]

"Ahem, Xiao Zhong's match is about to begin, let's go watch the match."

Lin Xuan had no intention of revealing this matter, since it seemed to be in the confidential stage at the moment. Although there were no strict rules, it would obviously not be good for him to say it out loud.

Chapter 142 When will the contract be signed?

"The match has begun. According to information from an unknown player, the opposing team will most likely be using Iron Fist Warrior, Mudstalker, Glalie, Ludicolo, Eevee, and Deerclops. I would call them the 'Iron Horse and Glacier Enter the Dream' team. They're really impressive!"

[An "unknown" contestant]

Who could it be? It's so hard to guess!

【Iron horses and icy rivers enter my dreams】

[Hilarious, it's true!]

"Now Xiao Zhong and the opposing player have both sent out their Pokémon. The opponent is using Iron Fist, while Xiao Zhong is using Volcarona, which has never been used in previous matches!"

"Vulcanmoth is basically a complete counter to the opponent's lineup. Apart from Mudstalker, no other Pokémon can deal with it!"

This is also why Lin Xuan hung up on Zhong Mingyi's message earlier. Zhong Mingyi's Volcano is definitely not weak. It is already stronger than its opponent and has a complete attribute advantage.

Once the Volcano starts its butterfly dance, it's clear that no one on the opposing team can handle it.

"Iron Fist Warrior also has two powerful traits, Perseverance and Force, but it doesn't have any skills suitable for dealing with Volcano. It can only try skills like Rock Slide and Rock Slash."

【Holy crap, isn't this a complete disaster?】

I think I understand why Teacher Mimikyu said it was just passable.

[Could it be that Teacher Mimikyu had already secretly communicated with contestant Xiao Zhong in collusion with him?]

"What do you mean by 'colluding with each other'? Can't you use a more positive term?" Lin Xuan said with dissatisfaction after seeing the comments.

"Xiao Zhong's tactics are very clear. He just started using Quiver Dance on the spot. Quiver Dance is an amazing skill. It can boost Special Defense, Special Attack, and Speed ​​at the same time. Dragon Dance is no match for this skill. It can only be said that God has given the best to Bug-types." Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Bug-type Pokémon have many powerful abilities and moves, such as Ice Scale Powder, Compound Eyes, and Tinted Glasses, any one of which is a top-tier ability, and there are also overpowered moves like Quiver Dance.

"Unfortunately, the rescue efforts were unsuccessful."

Song Chen quietly chimed in from the side, earning him a glare from Lin Xuan.

"What nonsense are you telling the truth?"

There aren't many truly powerful Bug-type Pokémon, and Volcarona is already considered the king of Bug-types.

"However, it's not a big problem. Even though Volcarona has to carry the burden of the Bug-type debuff, it is still comparable to a pseudo-legendary in terms of rarity and strength... although it is more difficult to raise than a pseudo-legendary."

Besides having an evolution cycle that is later than most pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Volcarona has another annoying feature: before evolving, it is a physical attacker, but after evolving, it becomes a special attacker. So, how do you train it during its volcano stage?

Training physical attack skills is a waste of time, as they are unlikely to be useful after evolution.

Training special attack skills is necessary, as the combat strength is too weak in the early stages.

So while some wealthy individuals might choose pseudo-legendary Pokémon as their starter Pokémon, no one would be so foolish as to choose Volcarona as their starter Pokémon.

"This Iron Fist Warrior also has the Guts trait. It directly used the Flame Orb to enter a burned state, and then went straight in to tough it out. In fact, the Iron Fist Warrior with the Guts trait has another advantage against Volcarona, which is that it is not afraid of being burned!"

"Vulcano's Flame Body ability can burn Pokémon that come into contact with it, but for Iron Fist, you don't even need to lift a finger, I'll beg to get burned myself!"

The Volcano's response to the Iron Fist Warrior's attack was truly remarkable.

"Vulcan uses both Butterfly Dance and Silk Spin! But the target of the silk is not Iron Fist Warrior, but itself! It directly wraps itself in silk, and the Iron Fist Warrior's attacks are like hitting cotton."

[You can even play with silk-spinning like this?]

Is this the skill level of contestant Xiao Zhong?

[My contestant, Xiao Zhong, has the makings of a champion!]

By the time Iron Palm Warrior finally managed to tear open the Fire Moth's web, the butterfly dance had already ended. The Fire Moth, its speed greatly increased, flew away into the distance to create distance, and then performed another butterfly dance.

"Zhong is very greedy~ but he has the right to be greedy."

"Your Volcano is incredibly powerful," Song Chen said proudly upon seeing this.

"Have you ever fought against Volcano?" Lin Xuan asked curiously from the side.

"Of course, my senior would also train with us when he had free time."

"What's the result?"

"what?"

"So, that's the result: how many were pushed away?"

Song Chen: ……

Couldn't you have asked more politely?

"It's alright, pretty much like that," Song Chen said vaguely.

"What do you mean by 'that'?" Lin Xuan asked, determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Nonsense! If my Pokémon could beat your Volcarona, would I be sitting here chatting with you?" Song Chen said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, that's true." Lin Xuan nodded affirmatively.

Song Chen: Why do I want to hit him so much?

Although Lin Xuan often acts cheeky in his live streams, there's a screen between them, and most of the time the person being teased is Zhong Mingyi, so he just watches and enjoys it.

But when it happens to you, you can't laugh anymore.

I really want to hit someone!

[Brother with superhuman strength, what a pity!]

[It cruelly reopened the wound]

The look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them is impossible to hide.

[The riddle of Teacher Qiu is unkind]

Although Song Chen was often thoroughly punished by Zhong Mingyi in training matches, this is not necessarily a bad thing. There are countless people who want Zhong Mingyi's guidance but cannot obtain it.

Their attention returned to the game.

"Iron Palm Warrior was clearly anxious, but he also knew that launching a direct attack like before would hardly be effective, so he directly used Rock Slide! However, Volcarona dodged it all while using Butterfly Dance. Volcarona's control over Butterfly Dance was obviously quite high!"

Lin Xuan could already foresee the outcome at this point. Putting aside the issue of Pokémon type advantage, there was a huge gap in pure Pokémon strength between the two sides.

"After two Butterfly Dances, Xiao Zhong probably felt that was enough and didn't greedily continue. He directly used a Storm! The Iron Palm Warrior frantically used a powerful push, trying to block with his fist force, but he was still blown into the air... The Iron Palm Warrior lost his ability to fight!"

With the preceding butterfly dance setting the stage, the battle ended remarkably quickly. A single gust of wind was enough to overwhelm the Iron Palm Warrior, and as for the elves that followed…

"The opposing team sent out Mudstalker, but Volcarona used Ultimate Drain! It didn't kill him, barely surviving. Mudstalker declared, 'This is my last Stone Edge! Hit me!'"

Then I saw Volcano fly high to dodge the sharp stone attack, and then it used its ultimate suction attack.

"With the horse weakened by the mud, the opposing player can choose not to resist and simply call 'GG'."

[They swept through]

[This is boring~]

Is this Xiao Zhong's true skill level?

The Ice Demon Guardian was then instantly killed by Fire Dance, Lucky Kappa and Dream Eater, and Sprout Deer was directly killed by Insect Cry. The entire battle was almost without suspense.

"Hmm... as expected. There's nothing interesting here. Can't there be some mistakes? There's no entertainment value at all. Ugh, so boring~"

[They cursed me for the sake of the show, but I'm burning with anger inside.]

Is it possible that this is actually Mimikyu-sensei's blessing for contestant Xiao Zhong?

The truth has been revealed.

[After all, Teacher Mimikyu is the epitome of a jinx.]

Because Zhong Mingyi's match ended quickly, the subsequent matches began immediately afterward.

Afterwards, Lin Xuan also watched the battle of the player who seemed to be a descendant of the Yulong family. In addition to the Desert Dragonfly, he finally used two other birds: a Altaria and a Charizard.
