Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Didn't you say that Espeon's psychic abilities aren't as good as yours? Then it's yours to handle!"

Lin Xuan waved at Eevee, making Eevee so angry that it wanted to raise its paw to hit him, but in the end it slapped its own little face instead.

Why did I say so much just now? I could have just lied to Lin Xuan and said I couldn't beat him, why did I have to pretend like that?

However, Lin Xuan's decision to send out Eevee surprised Crowley, who was in front of him. Although Eevee was one of Lin Xuan's signature Pokémon, his main force seemed to be an Emolga, right?

Crowley frowned slightly at first, feeling that Lin Xuan seemed to look down on him for not sending out his strongest Electric Flying Squirrel. But soon, a glint flashed in Crowley's eyes, as if he had remembered something.

According to what he heard, Lin Xuan's Eevee could have been upgraded to Espeon or Umbreon long ago, but she herself was unwilling, so she remained in the Eevee state.

Even Crowley's Espeon only recently met the requirements for evolution, which means Lin Xuan's Eevee is definitely not weak! It's at least stronger than most people imagine.

Most people only know that the conditions for Eevee to evolve into Espeon are very demanding, but that's about it. Crowley knows best just how difficult it is; his Espeon enjoys almost the best resources, which is why it met the requirements so quickly.

Thinking about all this, Crowley's gaze towards Lin Xuan and Ibrahimovic changed.

Is this a way for them to give themselves and Espeon some pointers in this match? I'll definitely give it my all!

But while Crowley had figured it out, the others were still quite frightened.

Why isn't Mimikyu using Electabuzz?

"Eevee is strong, but the opponent is Espeon after all. Can he really win?"

"Believe me, as a veteran player, Mimikyu's expression right now says it all. This game is in the bag!"

Although some doubts arose from the audience due to Eevee's appearance, most people still believed in Lin Xuan, since he seems to have never lost a single match since his debut as a trainer.

"Is it reliable?"

Fan Yuanheng, who was originally full of confidence, began to waver slightly. He cautiously asked Qing Ning, who was standing to the side, but all he got in return was a glare.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"..."

"However, given Lin Xuan's opportunistic nature, she probably wouldn't do something she's not sure of."

Qingning pondered for a moment. Lin Xuan's stingy persona was widely known, especially the photo Song Chen took of her stuffing a mineral water bottle into her bag, which had almost become a meme.

Turning our attention back to the battlefield, Eevee and Espeon faced off across the distance, the scene appearing somewhat tense, and Crowley was the first to issue the order.

"Strong mental thoughts!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed his strongest superpower attack.

"A flash of lightning, a moment of self-motivation."

A faint white light and a few superpowers appeared on Eevee's body. After a long period of training, even without deliberate control, a few superpowers would automatically emerge when Eevee used Quick Attack to protect its body and also speed up the Quick Attack.

Eevee sped across the field, easily dodging Espeon's Psychic attack. However, Espeon, skilled in psychic abilities, immediately manipulated Psychic to make a turn, continuing its pursuit of Eevee as if it were tracking it.

Lin Xuan didn't speak, but Eevee had already mastered Lin Xuan's skills. It instantly appeared behind Espeon, giving it a provocative look.

Come on, try firing one, and see if you hit me first or you first.

At this moment, Eevee's small size became an advantage. Combined with Quick Attack, it was extremely agile, making Espeon hesitant to attack. Espeon directly slammed the ball of Psychic into the ground, then condensed it again and attacked Eevee.

"Buyi~"

Eevee's voice sounded mocking as it dodged left and right, and Espeon's Psychic attack couldn't hit it. At the same time, while mocking, it didn't forget to throw in a couple of incantations, and its self-motivation skill was completed silently.

If it weren't for the flash of white light after the use of Self-Motivation, the audience and Crowley probably wouldn't have known when Lin Xuan's Eevee used this skill.

When was it used?

Fan Yuanheng frowned slightly. In terms of strength, he was definitely far superior to Lin Xuan and Crowley. He just didn't make a move because of the agreement. But even he didn't realize when Ibrahimovic used Self-Motivation.

"Just now, while dodging Espeon's attack."

His mentor, Qing Ning, however, had a sharper eye and immediately saw through the deception.

"Dodging attacks while simultaneously using self-motivation? This Eevee has a pretty high level of mastery over this skill!"

Fan Yuanheng couldn't help but sigh after learning the truth.

"Supportive power!"

After a moment of self-motivation, Lin Xuan launched an attack directly against Ibrahimovic.

Eevee, which had been flashing around teasing Espeon, stopped. A faint glow of psychic energy appeared on its forehead, followed by a powerful surge of psychic energy that swept towards Espeon.

Crowley showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was somewhat excited because Lin Xuan had stopped dodging, and directly said to Espeon:

"Strong mental thoughts!"

In terms of psychic abilities, Espeon clearly has an advantage. First, it is a Psychic type, and second, it can master moves like Psychic. Eevee, on the other hand, only has support abilities, and unless it is boosted multiple times, its power is far inferior to Psychic.

Just like this time, Eevee used Self-Motivation, which increased the power of its support abilities. In addition, its Special Attack was also increased. Even so, the power that support abilities could normally exert was only on par with Psychic. If you add the type bonus that Espeon has, its power would be even less.

This is also the source of his confidence to go toe-to-toe with Lin Xuan's Eevee in terms of superpowers, but...

boom!

A muffled, loud bang rang out between the two Pokémon, and then, to everyone's astonishment, Espeon was blasted away by the powerful psychic force.

"Buyi~"

Eevee, who had done all this, shook its head. Not evolving was one bad thing—it couldn't learn Psychic.

She could clearly feel that even though her auxiliary power and awakened power had partially merged, she still couldn't fully unleash her superpowers without further developing and strengthening her auxiliary power.

Even just now, it still didn't work. It would only be comfortable if I strengthened it again or used synchronization interference, without being limited by the power of the skill.

Even so, the partial psychic power that Eevee displayed still blasted Espeon away, leaving it with no chance to fight back.

Crowley, standing opposite Lin Xuan, was taken aback at first, but then quickly retrieved the fallen Espeon, as if he had been prepared for this.

Chapter 208 You want me to switch jobs? I'll have to pay more!

"Mimi Qiu is awesome!"

"Mimiku's Eevee is so powerful."

"I'm really curious to see just how strong Mimikyu's Electrify is."

Ibrahimovic jumped several times and landed back in Lin Xuan's arms, where he grabbed him by the scruff of the neck.

"Boy!"

What are you doing?!

"You're all dirty from the battle you just had. Go back and take a shower before jumping on me, otherwise it'll be a hassle for me to do the laundry."

Lin Xuan glanced at Eevee's somewhat dirty little paws.

"Buy?"

Don't you just throw them directly into the washing machine?

"Won't it take time to put it in the washing machine? What if it doesn't get clean?"

After saying that, Lin Xuan noticed Crowley walking towards him from not far away, so he turned his gaze to him as well.

But Ibrahimovic didn't care about any of that. Taking advantage of Lin Xuan's distraction, he climbed up Lin Xuan's arm in a sit-up motion and then "whoosh~" burrowed into Lin Xuan's arms.

"my clothes!"

Looking at the few small gray marks on her clothes, Lin Xuan gritted her teeth and said to Ibu, but seeing Crowley walking towards her, she decided to put up with her for two minutes and deal with her later!

However, despite saying that, Lin Xuan still instinctively put her arm around Ibu when it jumped up.

"Buyi~"

Ibu nestled in Lin Xuan's arms, its eyes half-closed, gently rubbing its head against Lin Xuan's chest, looking quite content.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, your Eevee's psychic abilities are even stronger than my Espeon's! It's just too powerful!"

Seeing Crowley's excited expression, Lin Xuan felt a little strange for a moment.

Who won, me or you? Why do you seem happier than me?

In fact, it wasn't just Lin Xuan; many people also noticed the expression on Crowley's face.

"Why... does this person seem even happier than Mimikyu-sensei?"

"Mimi Qiu has foreign fans?"

"No way, I need to take a picture and post it in the group chat right away."

"You only want to use this kind of thing to chat in the group?"

"if not?"

"Uh... at least I could use it to post on Baidu Tieba and gain some experience points!"

"..."

Marde, who had been watching from a distance, also came over. Seeing his young master looking excited even though he had clearly lost, he felt a little... annoyed, but he didn't know what to say.

Crowley also walked over to Mald and said something. Lin Xuan didn't have the habit of eavesdropping, so he turned to look at Fan Yuanheng and waved, his meaning quite clear.

Don't forget my payment!

Fan Yuanheng was speechless for a moment, thinking that his teacher was right. Lin Xuan's stinginess was ridiculously high, but he also found Lin Xuan to be a very interesting person. He then smiled wryly and nodded in his direction.
