Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Chapter 245 Helping Zhong Mingyi Get Rich

Back home in the evening, Lin Xuan was going to commentate on a few special matches that night. But before starting the commentary, Lin Xuan, as usual, brought a pair of mice to the front of the live broadcast room.

"Don't be shy~ Just say hello!"

"Sweat~"

Lin Xuan pushed them in front of the camera, but the two little ones, who had no experience with live streaming, only glanced at the camera and said hello before they quickly grabbed hands and ran to Lin Xuan's shoulders.

If Lin Xuan hadn't gotten used to being carried by Eevee before, she might not have been able to support the weight of these two little ones.

【? ? ? 】

【Mr. Mimic, when did you bring a pair of mice home?!】

So, you've been planning this for a long time?

A pair of rats fell into the hands of a strange old man!

Let go of those mice! Let me have them!

"This is Xiaoxi, and this is Xiaomi. They are the newest members of our family!"

Although she felt helpless about the two little ones' shyness, Lin Xuan still introduced them to the viewers in the live stream.

Although many of the comments in the live stream were joking around, most were blessings, especially from long-time viewers. But seeing Lin Xuan's house teeming with more and more Pokémon, and this time even two more at once...

"Thanks to Dolphin for beating up SpeakerKing's Super SC—[Mimimitri, your Pokémon are all starting to date, where's your adorable one?]"

After reading the SC, Lin Xuan didn't hesitate and immediately muted the guy for a minute.

"It's not a good time to fall in love at the pinnacle of Pokémon. I'll talk about finding a cute girl when I become a Pokémon Master."

Lin Xuan would never admit that it was because she couldn't find Mengmengda.

However, as long as you set this flag first, you won't have to be told every day that you can't find a girlfriend. After all, Ash won the championship and lived half of his life at the young age of ten, but he still hasn't become a Pokémon Master.

If I say I'm not, then I'm not!

"Ahem, let's continue commentating on the match today! It's a provincial tournament from a certain province, but it's a little different from the previous ones. Their match uses doubles rules, and players can field up to four Pokémon at a time. Furthermore, the Pokémon teams of both teams will be announced before the match begins, which puts a greater test on the players' command abilities."

Lin Xuan brought up the live stream page for the match, while Xiao Xi wasn't idle either. She must have just arrived at Lin Xuan's house and was curious about the match, so she went to get a stool and came over to watch it together.

That's not the point. The point is that when Xiaomi wanted to move a stool, Xiao Xi stopped her and then she ran over and carried two more over. Lin Xuan watched from the side with a sidelong glance and suddenly thought of a problem that she hadn't considered before taming a pair of mice.

If those two guys stay in his house, won't he have to eat rat food every day?!

Then Xiaoxi and Xiaomi sat down on the stools, holding hands and swaying their little feet. They looked at Lin Xuan with some curiosity, as if wondering why the competition hadn't started yet.

"Ahem! Let's begin the explanation!"

Lin Xuan coughed twice and then looked away, but the viewers in the live stream saw it all clearly and immediately started mocking her.

【Hahahahaha! 】

[Even Teacher Mimikyu has his day?]

【You'd better come eat rat food with us!】

[What's so great about Mimikyu-sensei? Why not just ship her with me!]

Starting today, I won't watch any live streams without mice in the background!

The mouse is obviously very popular, mainly because... this pairing is really easy to ship, and they're even childhood sweethearts and bamboo mice, what can you do?

However, seeing that the match was about to begin, Lin Xuan continued to commentate on the game.

First, there are the four Pokémon from both sides displayed at the top of the screen.

Our Pokémon are Greninja, Abomasnow, Ice Ninetales, and Alolan Sandslash.

The opposing Pokémon are Dugtrio, Aggron, Gastrodon, and Terrier.

"Our player seems to be an expert in Ice-type Pokémon, and he also brought a Greninja specifically to deal with Fire-type Pokémon. Moreover, this Greninja, if nothing unexpected happens, has the Transform ability, which allows it to change its type at any time. It can even switch to Ice-type to avoid the effects of Hail, and it even has Aura Strike to deal with Fighting-type Pokémon. It's practically an all-rounder!"

Greninja, with its ability to change its form, is an extremely popular Pokémon. Even Cinderace, which has a similar ability, and Grass Cat, which also has the ability to change its form, cannot compare to it. The biggest difference lies in the range of moves it can learn.

What? You're saying there's another cloaking dragon that can also change shape freely? Sorry, I've never heard of it, I'm really not familiar with it!

"The opponent seems to be a trainer who is proficient in Ground-type Pokémon. Logically, he should be very afraid of Water-type Pokémon, but he has a Gastrodon, which should normally have the Water ability, and a Tentacruel, which is Ground and Grass-type."

"It's the characteristic of this terrestrial jellyfish..."

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan's lips twitched involuntarily.

"A very special kind of mycelial power. When using status moves, it is not affected by the opponent's ability, but the speed will be reduced. This thing is useless in most cases! It's even a negative ability!"

The Mycelium Power trait is really terrible. Unless you encounter traits like Magic Mirror or Eternal Body, this trait is even worse than a blank slate. It's the kind of trait that's very useful when it's useful, but you wish you didn't have it when it's not.

"Judging from the lineups of both sides... the optimal solution for our players should be to send out Greninja and Abomasnow, while the opponent might send out Gastrodon and Aggron. Of course, this is the safest option. If one of them anticipates this, it is possible that they will choose to send out other Pokémon."

Lin Xuan glanced at both teams and said, but as it turned out, both players were very stable. To avoid any surprises, the Pokémon they sent out were the same as Lin Xuan had said.

"Gastrodon can largely shut down Greninja, but it is also countered by the Grass-type Abomasnow, while Aggron can deal with Abomasnow, which is like a closed loop. This game is the most difficult for our players. If we choose the wrong Pokémon and the opponent sends out a Sand Caver, we will be doomed."

【666】

Exactly the same

[As expected of Mimikyu, the prophet of abilities]

[Isn't this a jinx?]

So, who is Teacher Mimiu favoring this round?

Lin Xuan also discovered a new feature while browsing the live stream page.

"There's even a prediction feature? Let's have a prediction game. Everyone, place your coins and bet on the left if you're sure your team will win, and bet on the right if you think the opposing team will win."

[This seems to be a new feature in the live streaming room?]

[Never mind, Teacher Mimic, hurry up and tell me who it is, I'm going all in!]

"Thanks to Misaka Misaka for the SC—【Mimikyu-sensei, who do you think will win?】 Hmm… In my opinion, our team has a slightly better chance, because once we take down Gastrodon, the opponent's remaining three Pokémon will have a hard time dealing with Greninja, and with Abomasnow around, it will be quite difficult for Gastrodon to survive…"

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, he saw the odds for the opposing player plummet while the odds for his own player plummeted.

[Got it, all in on the opponent!]

[Thank you, Teacher Mimiqiu, for teaching me how to get rich!]

[A little gambling is fun, but excessive gambling is harmful. Everyone, stop betting, let me go all in first!]

[My coins, which I've been saving for so long, finally have a use!]

Lin Xuan was displeased to see that none of the guys seemed to believe his judgment, because without knowing their exact strength, his team did indeed have a slight advantage.

"Any brothers who trust me? Just bet all your coins on the left side, and I guarantee you'll become rich! Don't doubt me, I'll go first!"

After saying that, Lin Xuan opened her live stream on the page. As a content creator, Lin Xuan obviously had a lot of coins. She hadn't paid much attention to the exact amount, but it was already over six figures.

"Let me set an example for you all, watch and see!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, she placed ten coins on the player to her left.

【? ? ? 】

【That's it? 】

Are you saving all those coins for food?

[See, this is how Mimikyu-sensei shows her lack of confidence. You all know which side to bet on, right?]

"I did this to avoid disrupting the market balance, but you have to believe me, it's absolutely... Zhong Mingyi is a handsome guy who bet a thousand coins on the player on the left, how generous! This move will make him rich!"

Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction. As expected of his boss, he still trusted him.

After the competition officially started, Lin Xuan immediately closed the betting.

"Come on, let's see how the game goes."

"Greninja, with its superior speed, made the first move, immediately switching to Ice-type with Icy Wind. At the same time, Abomasnow's ability activated, causing hail to fall. Both of the opponent's Pokémon would have been affected, but because Greninja had switched to Ice-type, it was unaffected!"

"Gastrodon used the power of the earth! But it didn't hit the moving Greninja. However, Gastrodon just stood... lay there, and it created a very good environment for Aggron to attack. That's the power of water absorption, far beyond the ability of water storage. The difference between the two is like the difference between an electric engine and a lightning rod, there's no comparison, you know~"

[So you're changing your mind again, saying our baby's breast milk is smaller?]

Why can't an electric flying mouse be a lightning rod?!

You should ask Arceus about that.

"Thank you so much for the little flower from [Electric Engine Flying Mouse], thank you very much."

[Lightning-fast name change]

[If you have coins that have been renamed, you might as well have gone all in with me before!]

"Blizzard King immediately launched an energy ball at Gastrodon, seemingly wanting to focus fire on this guy first, since his aggro is too high. Meanwhile, Aggron, who was focused on dealing damage,... unleashed an earthquake! Earthquake that doesn't discriminate between enemies and teammates! It'll shake them all together!"

Chapter 246 The Anomaly of the Ultimate Hole

"Aggron's approach is extremely ruthless. No matter what type you switch to, Greninja is ultimately a fragile Pokémon. I just unleashed a devastating Earthquake. Anyway, Gastrodon isn't afraid and it won't do any damage."

Clearly, Gastrodon was prepared for Aggron's actions. When the earthquake started, its already soft and sticky lower body stuck directly to the ground, and its body swayed slightly to reduce the damage caused by the earthquake.

This earthquake caused him no harm at all.
