Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

【Hahahahaha! 】

[Even the Speaker Hero is out now?]

"Thanks to the commentator 'Niuwa Niuwa' for the 'Henlajiao Baochao Piaoxiangtun'! Let's continue the commentary."

Fortunately, Lin Xuan had just eaten lunch, so she wouldn't get hungry from seeing such a nickname.

"The Sentry Rat used Hypnosis directly. Wow, that's really dirty. Meanwhile, the opposing Zangoose Detective immediately used a KO Fang. It seems that it is likely to have the Strong Jaw ability or the Adaptability ability. Whichever it is, as long as it hits, it can cause serious damage to the Sentry Rat. After all, the Sentry Rat is such a skinny Pokémon, so it doesn't have much defense to begin with."

"Detective Mongoose dodged the mouse's hypnosis spell! Just now, this Sentinel Mouse seemed to have used its bioluminescent property to emit hypnotic light waves to enhance the hypnosis spell's strength. It was a novel tactic! But unfortunately, it didn't seem to be very effective."

Pokémon abilities are not as simple as they are shown in the games. Even the glow ability, if developed well, can still have some potential, but... that's about it, the potential ceiling is there.

For example, this contestant's development of luminescent properties made Lin Xuan nod in approval, but is it useful? You can work hard to develop it for a long time but it is still not as good as a compound eye, and the other one can also hypnotize you.

"Seeing that the Sentry Rat was about to be bitten, our player immediately chose to switch out his Pokémon. Who will he switch out to take the hit with that fatal Fang? It's actually Glaceon?"

Seeing the Ice Rock Monster appear on the field, Lin Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After all, this kind of Pokémon is not common in China. Even if it exists, it is mostly in the north. This is the Sichuan Province, which is famous for its spring-like climate all year round. It is really rare here.

"The Ice Rock Monster's physical defense is exceptionally high. Detective Zangoose's bite didn't cause the expected damage; instead, it gave the Ice Rock Monster an opening and launched a pounce! The pounce move's power increases with higher physical defense, and the Ice Rock Monster's physical defense is naturally exceptional. This pounce might just kill Detective Zangoose!"

[If Gardevoir had been the one to fail, would the show still have aired?]

I also want to pounce on Teacher Mimikyu!

[Be careful, Mimikyu's ability is Thick-skinned, which instantly multiplies its physical defense by ten!]

Chapter 230 From today onwards, you'll be called Fire Clothes Machine!

"It's a pity that this Zangoose's ability doesn't seem to be Crouch, otherwise it could activate its ability when the Rock Golem switches in, doubling the power of its critical strike Fang. Even with Rock Golem's physical defense, it would likely take a lot of damage!"

Lin Xuan said with some regret, "It's often at times like this that we start to miss those abilities that we never use normally. It's like when your Pokémon gets hit in a vital spot during a battle, you only then realize the benefits of the Hard Armor ability..."

"Detective Mongoose's attacks were generally ineffective, but the Ice Rock Monster's pounce hit perfectly, knocking Detective Mongoose into the battlefield... Detective Mongoose is now unable to fight!"

"There's no way around it. For a Pokémon like Rockruff with extremely high physical defense, Pouncing is simply a god-tier move. The only downside is that there are very few Fighting-type Pokémon that actually know Pouncing, and the only Pokémon that is compatible with the move Pouncing is Kommo-o."

Lin Xuan shook her head and said.

"Iron Wall Pounce is also a very good tactic for Kommo-o. If any of you are raising Kommo-o, you can try raising them in this direction."

【? ? ? 】

[Teacher Mimikyu has gotten arrogant; he actually thinks we can afford to raise pseudo-gods.]

Aren't you overestimating us a bit?

A sad, thick barrier separates us.

【sad】

"Ahem, those who don't have Kommo-o don't need to be sad. After all, there are many Pokémon that are suitable for the Iron Defense and Pounce tactics. For example, Bronze Bell is also very suitable. It can even use Trick Room to make up for its speed problem."

After explaining the Iron Wall Slam tactic, Lin Xuan turned her attention back to the match.

"After the opposing player was defeated by a single pounce from the Zangoose Pokémon, he seemed to be slightly confused. Then he finally released his next Pokémon... Golem, and it was an Alolan Golem."

"Thanks to Prompom Golem for the SC—【What's the difference between Alora Golem and regular Golem?】"

"There are still some differences. The biggest difference is in the type and ability. The type has changed from Rock and Ground to Rock and Electric. And the three abilities, Hard Head and Sand Veil, have been changed to Magnet and Electric Skin. Let's not talk about Magnet for now. As a noble skin-type ability, the power of Electric Skin is self-evident. Moreover, Golem has the move Self-Destruct. Combined with Electric Skin, once it explodes, it will be on the level of destruction!"

Just as Lin Xuan was explaining the differences between the Longlongyan and the other viewers, the competition started again.

"Glass immediately used the Iron Defense move, which is the Iron Defense and Pounce strategy we mentioned before. If the opponent is a physical attacker, it will be very difficult to break through this defense."

"Golgotha ​​also directly used Stone Strike to hit Rock Golem. This is a skill that is super effective against Rock Golem, but with Iron Defense buff, it could only cause a minor serious injury for a moment, unless Stone Strike hits..."

Lin Xuan thought for a while. Every time she said something like that, it would come true. This time, she had to change her wording and change her reputation as a "jinx".

"The skill 'Sharp Stone Attack' has a relatively high probability of hitting a vital point. Everyone should remember this. Also, I didn't say 'unless it hits a vital point.' I would appreciate it if the previous historian could record this."

Lin Xuan is frantically stacking armor on himself; this time, he must get rid of the "poisonous milk" title!

[Is Teacher Qiu going against the grain?]

[Impossible, Mimikyu-sensei's "poisonous prediction" is already a permanent achievement.]

I bet this rumblebee won't hit a vital spot!

"Hmph~ The Ice Rock Monster is known for its slow speed, and judging from how it attacked Detective Mongoose just now, it's highly unlikely that it could use its pounce attack on Golem. If Detective Mongoose hadn't accidentally gotten too close and used its ultimate incisor, it probably wouldn't have been hit."

The Mongoose Detective wasn't slow at all; it was much faster than both the Rock Golem and the Golem. It was just carelessness that led to its instant death.

Lin Xuan calmly analyzed that this time he was determined to get rid of this title.

"As long as the Rock Golem's pounce attack misses, other attacks are insignificant. After all, the Rock Golem's physical defense is not to be underestimated. Don't bother with moves like Ice Spikes; they won't do any damage. And the Rock Golem's Stone Edge attack only needs to hit a vital point once to take down the Rock Golem."

Lin Xuan wouldn't dare say that if the Ice Rock Monster had the Leftovers item, but since there are no items in the provincial competition under normal circumstances, Lin Xuan definitely favored Golem.

Then the viewers in the live stream watched as Lin Xuan said "minor serious injury" three times. After the Ice Rock Monster missed its pounce attack several times, it tried to use Earthquake to counterattack. After all, Rock plus Electric is four times weak to Ground. However, all the Earthquakes it used were shaken back by Golem's Earthquake. The Ice Rock Monster actually suffered more damage.

Just as the Ice Rock Monster was shaken and lost its footing, another Golem launched a sharp stone attack from under its feet, hitting it directly in the abdomen.

"You've hit the jackpot! You've hit the jackpot so many times already. I'll give you all the luck I've had from the smaller gacha pulls these past few days!"

Lin Xuan clasped her hands together in front of the screen and prayed, while Xiao Dian, who was playing a game, turned her head and looked at Lin Xuan in a daze.

You're such a good owner!! If I haven't drawn any good cards these past few days, it's all your fault!

【Hahahahaha! 】

[Those who don't know might think that Mimikyu-sensei is the contestant...]

[Little Dot: I'm so fed up with TuTu!]

Give him a little electric shock!

[Mimi Qiu is useless; everyone has witnessed your luck...]

Wait, what happened?

The moment Lin Xuan looked up, he saw the Ice Rock Monster being launched into the air by the sharp stone attack. Clearly, the sharp stone attack had hit the Ice Rock Monster's vital point—the Ice Rock Monster lost its ability to fight!

Seeing this, Lin Xuan instantly felt her backache and pain disappear, and she felt refreshed.

Holy crap, this isn't scientifically possible!

Has the jinx effect of Teacher Mimikyu failed?

【You must be a fake Mimikyu-sensei!】

"Ahem, actually the logic is quite simple. Hitting a vital point with the Stone Strike skill isn't exactly a low-probability event. Logically, as long as you keep trying, and the Ice Golem can't defeat Golem directly, then that day will come sooner or later. Don't be surprised, it's just basic operation~"

Lin Xuan waved his hand casually, but he was actually worried that this Golem trainer was unlucky and wouldn't hit a vital spot even after firing a dozen or so moves. If that happened, he would really want to cry.

Having shed her "jinx" reputation, Lin Xuan inexplicably seemed to speak with more confidence.

"After the Ice Rock Monster fell, our player sent out Sentinel again, and it seems they wanted to use the same trick again. They used the Hypnosis skill as soon as they entered the field. After all, Golem is much slower than Detective Mongoose, so the chance of Hypnosis hitting is relatively high. And Golem's response was... oh my god, just Explosion?"

The Golem Trainer's actions completely stunned Lin Xuan and many spectators. After Sentry entered the field, it didn't say a word and rushed forward, seemingly to use the Hypnosis move, but in reality, it used Explosion. The reason for doing so was simply to make the Explosion attack hit Sentry more completely.

"No need to watch anymore, the Sentinel Rat is about to have a massive explosion on its head, and it'll be an electric skin explosion!"

Seeing the intense electric sparks that appeared around Golem after it used Explosion, Lin Xuan knew that this was a Golem with the Electric Skin ability. Explosion itself has a power of 250 points, multiplied by Electric Skin (1.2 times) and then by its STAB (1.5 times), for a total power of 400 points. Who can withstand that?

"Golem's trainer was a bit too decisive. Although Golem was injured in the battle with Glaceon, its stamina was relatively intact. I can only say... it's ruthless!"

In this situation, Lin Xuan's decisive self-destruction can only be described as ruthless.

Lin Xuan didn't really like this fighting style. After all, although the skills Self-Destruct and Self-Destruct were very powerful, if Pokémon used these skills frequently, it could cause irreparable damage to their bodies. Therefore, Lin Xuan had never really liked these self-destruct skills.

The explosion was incredibly powerful, and for a moment the entire battlefield was obscured. But no one really thought there would be any suspense, and indeed, when the dust settled, Golem and Sentry Rats were seen lying on opposite sides of the field.

Both Golem and Sentry Rat are now unable to fight!

"Both teams' Pokémon have lost their ability to battle, so they will each send out their last Pokémon at the same time: our player's Eelpiss and the opposing player's Sandshrew!"

This is another elf that is relatively rare in China.

"The Sandshrew Pokémon has a unique ability called Sand Spit, which changes the weather to a sandstorm when attacked... It's incredibly stupid! It only triggers when someone attacks you, which is far inferior to the Sand Stream ability. People just use Sandstorm right away, what's the point of you just spitting sand? Moreover, Sandshrew is a Ground-type Pokémon and cannot benefit from weather-related bonuses, so in most sandstorm teams it is a lower-tier alternative to Sand Stream."

Lin Xuan thought that this ability could be transformed into a powerful one with a slight modification: it could be used to vomit immediately upon entering the battle, and then vomit sand while fighting. This would completely outclass the Sandstorm ability, but unfortunately, it couldn't be implemented.

"As for Eelking, although it is an Electric-type, it is not actually at a disadvantage against Sand Serpent because its ability is Levitate, making it immune to Ground-type moves, and it also has a move called Giga Drain. The only pity is that although this guy is a fish, it doesn't even have a Water-type!"

Lin Xuan shook her head. Although the Electric and Levitate attributes made Eel King have no weaknesses, in the Pokémon world, having two attributes is better than having one. Moreover, Electric, Water, and Levitate is a very strong combination in itself. For details, please refer to a certain washing machine.

"If Eel King's attributes were water plus telephone, I would call him a mini washing machine. Unfortunately, he is not. Eel King, as well as the Fire Clothes Machine and Washing Machine in the Rotom family, are perfect examples of making the most of the floating property."

【? ? ? 】

I can understand the washing machine, but what's that thing in front of it?

[A fire-resistant garment machine?]

"Ahem, there's not much difference between a clothes-burning machine and a microwave oven, so don't worry about such small details~"

Lin Xuan coughed twice and said that he still couldn't get used to this habit of addressing people, and now he didn't even feel that the name "Fire Clothes Machine" was out of place.

After all, washing machines are called washing machines, microwave ovens are called fire-clothes machines, electric fans are called flying-clothes machines, lawnmowers are called grass-clothes machines, and refrigerators are called ice-clothes machines. Isn't that common sense?

Chapter 231 The Great Electric Seagull

Without dwelling on the issue of the fire-resistant clothing machine for too long, Lin Xuan quickly resumed his commentary on the match.
