Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

[Holy crap, deliberately pushing your skills against each other? What kind of strategy is this?]

Am I seeing things?

[Let me double-check, Mimikyu-sensei and Eevee really only use Psychic-type moves in Special Attack, right?]

[It should...maybe...it might work...right? Anyway, I've never seen it before]

Lin Xuan's catch really startled Yan Guang. He was afraid that Eevee would pull out a move like Mega Sound, in which case he would pick up the Poké Ball and smash it to death. But according to the information he found, Eevee shouldn't be able to do that... right?

Yan Guang became insecure because of Lin Xuan's fright.

After receiving the flattery skill, Ibrahimovic instantly fell into a state of confusion, his eyes started to see stars, and his steps became somewhat unsteady.

"Buy?"

Eevee looked at the cat boss not far away, and in her eyes, it had turned into a bottle of soda.

Why does "happy water" exist?

"Wake up! Use Lightning Flash!"

Although his mind wasn't quite clear, Ibu still instinctively obeyed Lin Xuan's orders. Instantly, a superpower several times stronger than before enveloped his entire body, and he rushed out like a bolt of lightning.

Yan Guang instinctively wanted Cat Boss to dodge.

"Use a double kick, a double kick! I didn't let you just run right through! Ouch..."

Lin Xuan's face darkened, and he helplessly slapped his forehead. Sure enough, the effects of the confused state began to show. It seemed that Eevee only heard the first command he gave her to use Quick Attack, and the subsequent double kick was completely blocked.

Yan Guang seemed to see an opportunity to defeat Ibrahimovic in one fell swoop. If you use a double kick, I will have to dodge it, but if it is a lightning flash, then I will not be polite!

"Evil wave!"

The cat boss unleashed a Dark Pulse at the charging Eevee, and Yan Guang smiled.

Steady!

"Mimiku's Eevee seems to be getting out of control!"

"You shouldn't have accepted that compliment; wouldn't it have been better to avoid it?"

"Is this all the legendary tactical mastermind is?"

At this point, some people have begun to question Lin Xuan's decision.

But not long after, Yan Guang's smile froze. Although Eevee did not use Double Kick, it actually managed to get past the Dark Pulse with Quick Attack and then rammed its head into Persian. Even with the fur coat cushioning its fall, Persian was still sent flying.

The cat boss's body left a long trail on the ground before finally stopping at the edge of the battlefield, but it was clearly badly injured.

Eevee wasn't in much better shape either. Although the psychic powers on its body reduced some of the power of the Dark Pulse, it still took a real hit.

"Buyi~"

Ibrahimovic stood up and took a breath, but still looked a little dazed, then touched his head.

Why is this soda so hard?

"Keep crashing!"

Lin Xuan saw that although he hadn't managed to use the double kick, the effect of the lightning flash seemed pretty good, so he went straight for a second goal.

With the help of his superpowers, Eevee managed to forcefully bump into Persian's head twice more, leaving him completely disoriented. In the end, Persian figured he might as well avoid him if he couldn't handle him, so he started circling around Eevee. Finally, under the influence of his confused state, Eevee crashed headfirst into the floor, successfully carrying himself away.

After Ibrahimovic went down, the scene remained relatively quiet.

After all, this match was a little strange no matter how you looked at it...

【…】

[As expected of Mimikyu-sensei, even his defeats are so unique!]

[How much is one of those?]

[Mimi-Oka-sensei actually has real fans? That must be fake!]

A flash of red light appeared, and Lin Xuan recalled the fallen Eevee into its Poké Ball. This should be Eevee's first defeat, which is a good experience. After all, it's not good to always have smooth sailing; there should always be some trials.

This is the way you lost... How did you manage to knock yourself down?

Lin Xuan was a little annoyed, but he still immediately sent out the little bird that was flying by, as he had prepared it long ago.

"Dandan~"

[As expected, you still have to rely on me~]

It flew slowly and leisurely towards the center of the arena, its tail swaying gently behind it.

The final result was not unexpected. Cat Boss had already exhausted a lot of energy from Eevee's several attacks. When Little Point went up, it caught him off guard with a Plasma Energy Ball, and then—it was gone.

It sounds easy, but Lin Xuan also knows that most of the credit actually goes to Eevee, which consumed too much of the cat's energy. Otherwise, even if the smaller one could win, it would have taken a lot more effort.

After Little Dot entered the arena, Cat Boss was also a bit out of breath. In addition, Little Dot's plasma energy ball is all about explosive power, and it came out of nowhere, which led to the illusion of an "instant kill".

But the audience didn't care about any of that. In their eyes, it was just that Little Dot defeated the Cat Boss by throwing a skill after entering the arena.

The audience erupted in applause and cheers once again. After all, although Lin Xuan had many "haters," when Lin Xuan actually won the game, it was time to celebrate.

[Damn it! It'll be a while before we get to hear Mimikyu-sensei's commentary!]

I think what you should be worried about is that Mimikyu-sensei will be able to brag for even more time during her next livestream.

[...Could it be that the mysterious contestant is making a comeback?]

I think it's possible!

[A mystery contestant makes a limited-time return!]

"This electric flying squirrel is really strong!" Even Su Qiming couldn't help but admire it after seeing Xiaodian's performance, but then he also said with some doubt, "But it should only stop at the top 64, the contestants after that will be stronger."

"But he's only a freshman in college, and he just got his first Pokémon a few months ago."

Hearing President Su Qiming's sigh, Zhong Mingyi couldn't help but remind him.

"Yes! His talent as a trainer doesn't seem to be any less than yours."

"Won't you be worse than me?" Zhong Mingyi thought for a moment and then shook his head. "I don't think so."

"Oh?" Su Qiming glanced at Zhong Mingyi curiously. In his impression, Zhong Mingyi was not an arrogant person.

"Lin Xuan's talent as a trainer is even greater than mine."

Sure enough, Zhong Mingyi then said the second half of his sentence.

In Zhong Mingyi's opinion, if Lin Xuan hadn't been working at the research institute and hadn't been able to focus on training as a trainer, his strength would have been even greater!

"President Su, I have something to attend to here, so I'll be leaving now!"

As Zhong Mingyi watched Lin Xuan win the match and prepare to leave, he also greeted Su Qiming beside him.

"Aren't you going to watch the other games?"

"I'm not watching anymore, I've already watched everything I wanted to watch."

Zhong Ming smiled, shook his head, and then turned and walked out.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had just handed Eevee over to Chansey, who was nearby, to heal its injury, and then left through the player tunnel to return to the hotel and prepare for tomorrow's match...

Well, it seems there's nothing particularly special to prepare. Since we're both in the same battle club, even though Lin Xuan doesn't go often, she's quite familiar with Cheng Yin's Pokémon.

But just as Lin Xuan reached the end of the contestant passage, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Lin Xuan!"

Chapter 213 I Seem to Be a Failure as a Trainer

Why are you still in Suyun City?

Lin Xuan turned around and saw Zhong Ming standing behind her, waving at her. She was quite surprised because Zhong Ming had said a few days ago that he was going back to the Jianghai City Dojo to handle some business.

"I had some things to take care of in Suyun City, and since it's not far away, I came over."

Zhong Ming explained, and Lin Xuan nodded, not finding it strange at all. The distance between the two cities was only a few hours' drive, so traveling between them was quite convenient.

"What is it?"

Lin Xuan glanced back and continued walking forward, while Zhong Mingyi followed as if it were a habit.

"You're not going to ask me to come back and do hard labor at this time, are you?"

Lin Xuan looked at Zhong Mingyi with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Am I that kind of capitalist?

Zhong Mingyi glared at him.

"Then what are we doing?"

"You should have time after your match, right?"

"Hmm... Someone invited me to attend the Dawn Group's new product exhibition, and after that, there shouldn't be anything else."

"Dawn Group? I've received invitations before, but I'm not really interested in these things. By the way, where did you receive your invitation from?"

"To the young master of the Dawn Group!"

"???"
