Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan also made an uncertain sound, because Excadrill's feet started to float, and no matter how the trainer shouted, it just kept spinning in circles.

"Alright, Laplace is now preparing a second water cannon, taking advantage of the Excadrill's confusion to launch a sneak attack! No sportsmanship here! But the effect is obvious, the Excadrill no longer has the ability to dodge."

Lin Xuan said confidently.

[A Daily "Sneak Attack"]

[Judging from the runtime, I can already tell what's going to happen next; I've completely anticipated how things will unfold.]

[Friendly reminder: If you have anything in your mouth, please swallow or spit it out as soon as possible.]

What if it's too long to swallow?

【? ? ? 】

Lin Xuan wondered if he or Laplace was cursed. At that moment, the dragon-headed exopod was so confused that it was basically spinning in circles. Then... the water cannon flew precisely over its head without touching it at all.

【66666! 】

[It's not easy to miss a skill!]

【Mimikou-sensei! Mimikou-sensei, why aren't you saying anything?】

Lin Xuan felt as if this water cannon had broken through the dimensional barrier and emerged from the screen to silence him, but after a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth.

"In one's life, there will always be setbacks, big and small, that add depth to one's life."

Lin Xuan's voice sounded like that of a reclusive monk who had attained enlightenment, as if he were about to ascend to heaven on the spot at any moment.

[Imitating Teacher Qiu? No, no, that's not necessary.]

【Mr. Mimiqiu, please don't do this, I'm scared】

[Oh no, this child has gone mad.]

"Our players seem a bit unwilling to give up and are still preparing to use water cannons... Okay, I've already predicted what the chat will say, so I'm not saying anything now."

Lin Xuan immediately chose to mute herself. This video was actually footage from a live stream a long time ago; she had just been saving it up and forgot to upload it.

As Lin Xuan chose to mute her microphone, the comments in the video chat started spamming "..." in perfect unison, making the world seem unusually quiet.

And then... the water cannon missed again! Twice!

[See? I really didn't jinx it.] — This comment is from the uploader.

[I'm not saying anything, so you can't blame me for this, right?] — This comment is from the uploader.

But the audience obviously won't stop teasing Lin Xuan just because of those two sentences.

Has Mimikyu's skill evolved from voice control to mind control?

[Words become law (×) Wishes come true (√)]

[Congratulations to Mimikyu for evolving!]

Ultimately, victory belonged to Laplace, because his advantage was so great that even four consecutive misses with his water cannons couldn't break him.

After a fatal two minutes of silence, Lin Xuan finally spoke again.

"While it's true that setbacks can enrich life... isn't your life a little too resilient?"

Lin Xuan had no choice but to speak up. Our team's luck was ridiculously bad. What should have been a crushing defeat had been turned into a suspenseful situation. Fortunately, our team's strength was relatively high, otherwise we would have really lost.

After all, although skills in reality are not limited by PP points, using skills is undoubtedly a stamina-consuming activity, especially a skill like Water Cannon with extremely high power. If it hadn't been for the Water Ring, Excadrill would probably have really been able to wear Laplace down.

Just when viewers thought the video was about to end and were about to exit, they suddenly realized that there were still more than two minutes left in the video. Wasn't the competition over?

Sure enough, after a brief black screen, the video ended with Lin Xuan's recorded audio.

【What the hell? 】

[Is this an Easter egg?]

Thankfully, I didn't log out.

That's right, the video Lin Xuan released today isn't just a commentary video; it also includes a preview of the next one, or maybe the one after that.

While live commentary can be quite effective, it falls short when presented as a video. Furthermore, there's always the suspicion that Lin Xuan watched the video beforehand and was deliberately creating a spectacle.

But the truth is... there really isn't! My mouth is just that accurate, what can I do?

After much thought, Lin Xuan finally decided to make some different videos, something a little more hardcore.

"During recent live streams, we discovered that many viewers have some lack of understanding about various Pokémon. Therefore, starting today, we will be launching a new video program, with each episode dedicated to introducing the characteristics of a single Pokémon and common breeding strategies."

As soon as Lin Xuan said these words, the live chat and comment section exploded.

There are many supporters, most of whom are loyal viewers of Lin Xuan's live streams. After watching so many live streams, many people's impression of Lin Xuan should be that he has an incredibly rich knowledge of Pokémon.

Those who understand this are naturally looking forward to Lin Xuan's new video, especially when she talks about the Pokémon she owns.

However, such people are ultimately a minority, and most people are still skeptical, because Lin Xuan's previous video content was all about explaining battles. Now that she has crossed over into such a big field, won't she really crash and burn?

Lin Xuan himself wasn't worried at all, because the main reason he was going to make these videos was that... he was getting tired of doing commentary every day, so he wanted to change the subject a bit.

As for the protagonist of the next issue... well, it hasn't been decided yet, but it will most likely be one of the three starter Pokémon from China, or a relatively common Pokémon.

In a room of a hotel reserved for athletes in Beijing

Zhong Mingyi was wearing pajamas and watching the video of Laplace that Lin Xuan had just posted. He was curled up and laughing uncontrollably.

"Yuan Qing has played in such a classic match? This kid didn't even tell me? Hahahaha!"

That's right, Zhong Mingyi knew this Laplace trainer, and the two had even sparred before, so he was quite strong.

However, Zhong Mingyi never expected that the other party had such a dark history.

"No, we have to save it and show it to him when we meet."

Zhong Mingyi was wiping his eyes while laughing when he naturally saw the video preview that Lin Xuan had posted.

"Pokémon battle analysis?"

Zhong Ming was taken aback for a moment, then a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. He wanted to see what this "Mysterious Hill" could say.

I'm a little curious.

Chapter 13 Winning Ma

After uploading the video and having nothing else to do, Lin Xuan leisurely watched a movie.

Because she was scrolling through her phone while watching, Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention to the plot, but it seemed to be related to a Pikachu, something like... Pikachu Superman?

It's basically the same old superhero formula, just with the addition of Pokémon elements compared to the movies he used to watch.

It's actually quite amazing. There used to be very few Pokémon movies, but now... there are them all! You can't even find one without Pokémon.

While eating cookies, Lin Xuan watched as Xiao Dian imitated Pikachu from TV, making some moves that looked cool but were actually useless.

Lin Xuan tilted her head, suddenly thinking of a question.

"I've been your trainer for over half a month now, and you still don't even know what skills you have?"

"dawn?"

Xiao Dian turned around and looked at him with a rather disdainful gaze.

Are you only realizing this now?

Lin Xuan: ...

"At least you know a little bit. The other night when you were sleeping, you suddenly came over and rubbed against me, which woke me up with an electric shock!"

However, rubbing cheeks is a skill that every flying squirrel possesses, so there's not much to say about it.

So what skills do you actually have?

Although he didn't expect this guy to fight, Lin Xuan was still very curious, since he was very likely to be the only victim of these skills in the days to come.

"Dan dan dan~"

Little Dot started counting on her fingers, but limited to only three fingers on each hand, she couldn't count them all no matter how hard she tried.

So in the end, he simply snatched Lin Xuan's phone and typed something on it.

About a minute later, Lin Xuan took his phone back from Xiao Dian and discovered that although he didn't like playing against others, he had quite a few skills.

It has all the skills that a normal Emolga should have, such as rubbing its cheek, wagging its tail, using Shadow Clone, Quick Attack, Electric Shock, and Charging. In addition, it even has two other skills: Thunderbolt and Plasma Bath.

Especially the plasma bath; very few Pokémon can learn this skill, and even Momonga can only learn it through inheritance.

"Damn, it seems a bit of a waste to give you these skills?"

Lin Xuan muttered to herself.

"dawn!"

I don't like hearing that!

The electric flying mouse straightened its little face and put its hands on its hips, saying, "What is a waste?"

"Then why don't you go and participate? Didn't you just register the wrong name? Go and win the championship!"

Lin Xuan retorted without backing down.

"dawn!"
