Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

This only proves one thing: the gap in strength between the two sides is too large. From this, Lin Xuan also officially confirmed one thing: his own little snack does seem to be quite strong.

At least it's not as weak as I imagined.

It was supposed to be a warm-up, but in reality, it was just a formality for Lin Xuan to understand Xiao Dian's skill level. Then he discovered something very strange.

Xiao Dian was surprisingly skilled at rubbing cheeks, but her other skills... were truly numerous. For example, her "100,000 Volts" attack looked intimidating, but when Xiao Dian aimed it forward, it almost killed Lin Xuan behind her.

"Where did you get to that manual?" Lin Xuan asked with a strange expression.

Lin Xuan took out his phone from his pocket, pointed to the secret manual that Dr. Sun Siming had sent him, and handed it to Xiao Dian.

After receiving the phone, Xiao Dian swiped down twice and then handed it to Lin Xuan.

[8/251 - Practical Application of Rubbing Cheeks]

Upon seeing this, Lin Xuan locked her phone with a click.

He realized something: it seemed that Little Dot had spent all her skill points on rubbing her cheeks these past few days!

Isn't your skill tree a bit too skewed?

How's the training going?

Not far away, Li Yuan walked over carrying two bottles of cola and waved them in front of Lin Xuan, as if asking him whether he wanted the blue one or the red one.

"It's pretty good, but there's something not quite right."

Li Yuan: ? ? ?

"Go, little Ponyta!"

The trainer opposite Lin Xuan decisively threw out a Poké Ball.

I wonder if Lin Xuan is just unlucky with fire today, because both of his opponents used fire-type Pokémon. But that's a good thing, because if he had encountered a ground-type Pokémon, he probably would have had to retire on the spot.

Meanwhile, another very coincidental thing happened: Lin Xuan's referee in the afternoon was still the same one from the morning, so much so that he was glanced at a couple more times when he first stepped onto the stage.

That's normal, after all, Xiaodian's performance in the morning was quite amazing. She defeated her opponent with just a cheek rub, it's impossible not to be amazing.

The opponent Lin Xuan encountered this time was much stronger than the one from this morning. It was a Fighting-type. Although Ponyta had not yet evolved into Rapidash, you could tell from the flames on its body that it was much stronger than Torchic from this morning.

"Small spot~"

Lin Xuan said weakly, and then Xiao Dian floated down from the side, even standing on the ground with his hands on his hips, looking very determined. The referee next to him was a little confused by this scene.

No, you two weren't like this this morning, were you? So, has technology advanced to the point where you can exchange the souls of Pokémon and their trainers?

"Little Pony, Flame Wheel."

Lin Xuan's trainer, Zhao Fang, said seriously that he had also witnessed Lin Xuan's battle that morning and knew that Xiao Dian had defeated a Torchic by simply rubbing its cheek. He felt that this was definitely a very strong opponent and dared not underestimate it.

So they immediately had Ponyta use Flame Wheel in hopes of ending the battle as soon as possible.

Lin Xuan's reaction was much calmer; she simply said a few words to Xiao Dian.

"You decide what to do."

Zhao Fang: ? ? ! !

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Zhao Fang was immediately enraged. He told his elf to handle the situation. "You think you can look down on me? Just wait, you'll be sorry!"

But it wasn't that Lin Xuan looked down on him; it was just that after understanding Xiao Dian's skill tree, he himself didn't know how to command him anymore.

Although I don't know why, I'll just attribute it to his own talent for now. The amount of electricity that Xiaodian can release is quite terrifying, otherwise a mere rub on his cheek wouldn't have such high power.

But it seems that apart from rubbing it on her cheek, Xiaodian doesn't use her strong electric current at all.

To ensure his own and the referee's safety, Lin Xuan felt it was best not to use this skill; he didn't want to become the first trainer in his school to be killed by his own Pokémon in a competition.

Although Little Dot didn't understand Lin Xuan's intentions, he knew one thing now... I'm very strong! Then, just like the scene in the morning, he flapped his wings and crashed into the direction of Little Pony.

Although he was very unhappy, he was, after all, a student of the combat department and had watched Lin Xuan's match that morning. He knew that the "rubbing" of this electric flying squirrel could not be described as just rubbing.

Other people's cheek rubs might just be a light scratch next to your cheek, but Lin Xuan's is like scraping the bone to remove poison!

His idea of ​​how to deal with this skill was simple: just have Ponyta use its Flame Wheel to roll around, and then, enveloped in flames, it would be like, "Come and try to get close!"

A smile appeared on Zhao Fang's face. After all, as a student of the combat department, he was not an outsider like Lin Xuan. He believed that Lin Xuan must be helpless against his tactics at this moment.

Sure enough, when he turned to look at Lin Xuan, he found him standing there blankly, not giving any commands to the electric flying mouse, clearly stunned.

However, what Lin Xuan was thinking at that moment was... [What should we eat tonight?]

As for Little Point, he stopped after seeing the little horse rolling around in a ball, unsure of what to do next. After all, the little horse was still on fire, and getting burned seemed to hurt quite a bit.

The little dot flying in the sky scratched its head, thinking of using 100,000 volts to directly shock it, but then it remembered Lin Xuan's exact words—

Unless you're planning to inherit my estate, you'd better not use this skill.

The little dot in mid-air counted its skills on its fingers, then realized that it didn't seem to have any skills that could be used. Then it turned to look at Lin Xuan... Oh well, it's better to rely on itself.

Xiao Dian randomly chose a skill, and countless bolts of electricity appeared from his body, then scattered around him like snowflakes—a plasma bath!

When a Pokémon is in a plasma bath state, it will switch to an Electric-type move if it uses a Normal-type move.

The sudden flash of lightning startled Lin Xuan, who almost thought that Xiao Dian had disobeyed her and used 100,000 volts again. Then she realized that the skill had no offensive effect, except that it made her hair feel a little numb.

After using the plasma bath, Xiaodian did something that no one expected: it charged directly at the location of the young horse!

That's right, this time it really wasn't a "brush" but a "collision," but similarly, Xiaodian was still surrounded by a powerful electric current.

Have you ever seen an electric collision? If not, you've come to your lucky day.

Ponyta's trainer was a little confused. Why would someone deliberately run into him? Then he was overjoyed. Ponyta's Flame Wheel was now at its highest power. He was originally thinking about how to hit the flying Electabuzz, but now it had delivered itself to his doorstep.

With this in mind, he naturally didn't back down and immediately sent Ponyta to charge forward, and the two Pokémon's bodies collided instantly.

Then a magical scene unfolded: the flames on Ponyta's body were completely neutralized by the electric current on its outside just as they were about to burn down the Electric Flying Squirrel, and its rolling body stopped abruptly upon impact.

At that moment, Little Dot spread its wings and hugged the little Ponyta, sticking tightly to it. If the two Pokémon hadn't come from different eggs, Zhao Fang would have probably gone to the referee to report it for sexual harassment.

After hugging the little horse, Little Point's choice was simple:

Squeeze as hard as you can!

Chapter 22

Monday, October 17th

"Ponyta is unable to fight, so Electabuzz wins."

Perhaps because of the morning's match, the referee had already anticipated this result and announced it directly.

"how is this possible?"

As for the trainer opposite Lin Xuan, he stared wide-eyed at his Ponyta lying on the ground, and at the Emolga standing up next to him, patting its butt and looking like nothing had happened.

His little Pony was instantly defeated by a mere cheek rub?

"Damn, this guy's got guts!"

"Can a simple cheek rub really kill someone instantly?"

"Is this guy a combat-oriented type?"

The audience members also started discussing Xiaodian's performance. After all, the Electric Mouse is usually used to be cute, but this time the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

"No way, it seems like the guy who got instantly killed was a Fighting type. That guy seems to be a Pokémon evolution major."

Are you sure you're not kidding me?

Upon hearing this, one of the men almost spat water in the other person's face. After all, although Pokémon Evolution was one of their school's top majors, they were notoriously bad at battles.

Even during the previous freshman competition, not a single person in the entire major could sign up.

"But then again, did that guy not give any orders at all from beginning to end?"

"Hmm...it seems so."

Lin Xuan took Xiao Dian home, and on the way, she used her phone to buy a lot of tree fruits for Xiao Dian online... all of which Xiao Dian picked out herself.

"Dan~ Dan~ Dan~" (*^▽^*)

Little Dian happily circled around Lin Xuan.

Tree berries~ Delicious tree berries~

Lin Xuan sighed. That's all the guy is good for.

The first thing Lin Xuan did after arriving home was to check on the Eevee's egg. Although the professor said that everything was fine, she still needed to record the egg's information every day and send it over.

The recording process is quite simple; you just need to copy the information from the incubation device, which will only take a few minutes.

Dr. Sun Siming: [Good, it should hatch successfully in about ten more days. Gu Yuan should have already sent you the relevant information.]

Lin Xuan: [Yes, I understand the basics.]

The information Dr. Sun Siming mentioned was the result of their research institute raising Eevee for so long. It clearly described the most suitable living environment and food for newborn Eevee, and even included team training, making it quite comprehensive.

It could even be used as a guidebook for some Eevee trainers.

After finishing her routine work with Dr. Sun Siming, Lin Xuan focused her attention on Xiao Dian again. The little guy was holding a tree fruit in one hand and the secret manual in the other.
