Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan glanced at Xiao Dian, who had almost fallen from mid-air as well. This guy seemed indifferent when he heard about the match, and even seemed a little excited because of the schedule and Ibrahimovic.

An island! An adventure! Isn't this much more interesting than those silly matches where people just stood there fighting?

But after hearing that his opponents all seemed to be stronger than him, the situation didn't look so optimistic.

"Dandan!!!"

The little dot protested, "Is this a game for humans? Has his basic right to be a mouse been respected?"

"Don't worry, this match isn't about watching you fight each other. The difficulty of the trial is dynamic, and the trial participants and Pokémon you face will definitely be easier than theirs."

"That's good~"

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. If he really had to compete against those guys, he felt he could give them a Carlos salute right now.

"The competition is in a week, so you should prepare yourself."

"So fast?"

Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, since this competition was to be broadcast live, it must have a certain level of popularity, but was it possible to advertise in such a short time?

"Actually, you don't need to prepare anything. You're not allowed to bring anything except Poké Balls. The League will provide everything else."

"What about the clothes?"

Lin Xuan tugged at her clothes.

"These clothes of mine are sponsored; they paid me for advertising."

Lin Xuan felt that he was going further and further down the path of becoming a Pill Emperor. Perhaps he could also learn from the Pill Emperor and make a cloak, and then cover the cloak with small advertisements.

"Um……"

Zhong Ming fell silent, mainly because this kind of competition had never happened before, and Lin Xuan's behavior...

"It should be fine, right?"

Zhong Mingyi said somewhat uncertainly, but that was exactly what Lin Xuan wanted to hear.

"Okay, it's settled then. If they ask later, I'll just say you agreed to it."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhong Mingyi's objection, she directly grabbed the little doll that had finally managed to fly up again and scooped it into her arms, then ran away, leaving Zhong Mingyi alone in the wind, bewildered.

Zhong Mingyi: ? ? ?

Isn't it a bit unreasonable that you don't share any of the advertising revenue with me?

Meanwhile, a completely different scene was unfolding at the Suyun City Pokémon Association.

Su Qiming sat in his office, picked up the tea he had brewed, and took a delicious sip. Just from his expression, it was clear that he was in a very good mood.

A man standing to the side asked with some confusion.

"Teacher, shouldn't the collaboration with Manaphy be kept confidential? Is it really okay to broadcast it live like this?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qiming, who had been in a good mood, put down his teacup and glared helplessly at his student.

"Heisei, if only you had half the talent you have as a trainer in this area."

Su Qiming couldn't help but sigh. His student's talent was undeniable. Although he couldn't compare to freaks like Zhong Mingyi and Lin Xuan, he was still one in a million. Given time, he might even be able to rival him.

But he's just too honest and inflexible in many ways. Otherwise, Su Qiming would have wanted this disciple to be his successor, but it seems he's not good enough now.

Yu Heisei also wore a wry smile.

"Teacher, as you know, I'm not good at this kind of thing, and from any perspective, Xiao Zhong is more suitable."

"You~"

Su Qiming shook his head, unsure of what to say. At least in terms of character, his student was fine, which was a good thing.

"We finally managed to build a good relationship with Manaphy. If we don't do a good live stream and let those guys from Unova, Carlos, and Galar see it, wouldn't that be a huge loss? It took us a lot of effort to persuade that guy."

"Is our relationship with Manaphy... good now?"

Yu Heicheng asked cautiously, "Although we've cooperated with Manaphy this time, the reason is that Manaphy felt the existence of the Ultra Hole was too unstable, and it happened to be right above their own territory. They had no choice but to cooperate with the Chinese Pokémon Alliance. In other aspects, this guy has always maintained a neutral stance."

"Does it matter?" Su Qiming glanced at Yu Hepingcheng, who scratched his head in confusion. "Didn't you say you wanted to show the other alliances the relationship between this place and Manaphy?"

"The important thing is not whether we have actually built a good relationship with Manafi, but that they think we have built a good relationship with Manafa!"

“Students understand.”

Yu Hei-sung isn't stupid, but he's too honest, which sometimes makes him slow to think.

"What about Manaphy over there..."

“He knows these things better than we do.”

Su Qiming shook his head.

"Don't underestimate these legendary elves. They possess superhuman intelligence and live for countless times longer than us. How could they not see through this after living for so long? Even if Manaphy maintains a childlike heart, that's just his attitude. If he were truly stupid, those old guys from the Alliance would have tricked him into coming back long ago after living on our coast for so long."

But then he felt that what he said might have some flaws or inaccuracies, so he added a final sentence.

"Groudon and Kyogre should probably be ruled out. If the ancient records are correct, those two either sleep or fight. They don't seem very smart. I just don't know if they're easy to fool."

Seeing that his teacher seemed to be seriously considering the matter, Yu Heisei was speechless for a moment.

"I think it's better if these two don't wake up," Yu Heisei couldn't help but say.

"That's true, but some things are beyond our control."

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Not long after Lin Xuan returned home, she saw the news about the competition on the Pokémon website. The league even gave it a name that sounded a bit chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) – the Poseidon Cup.

I'm not sure if the sea god referred to here is Lugia or Kyogre. A sea god without a water type... that makes perfect sense!

Lin Xuan also saw her picture on the players' page. Although there was no special treatment—after all, it was a competition organized by the league, and the players were listed by name—Lin Xuan's photo still stood out among the many players.

"Why is it still this one?!"

The photo from the match is from when Lin Xuan participated in the college league; it's the one where she's holding Ibrahimovic, and Ibrahimovic is making a friendly gesture towards the sky.

Is it really appropriate to use this photo in a league game?

Lin Xuan's lips twitched. She looked at the other contestants, most of whom looked like they had been edited from highlight reels, and each of them looked very handsome.

Even Song Chen was doing the same pose as Megatron in front of the camera, while Long Xing had a Garchomp standing in front of him...

"Buibui!"

It's all your fault!

Ibrahimovic was the one who couldn't hold back the most after seeing this photo. He was young and impetuous at the time, and he must have been deceived by Lin Xuan to do such a thing. In short, it's all Lin Xuan's fault!

Now her reputation as the Heavenly Emperor is completely ruined!

"How is it my fault? I was just thinking of lifting you up. Didn't you do it yourself?"

Lin Xuan shoved Ibu's head away and said, "What reputation do you have to speak of?"

Lin Xuan ignored Ibrahimovic and continued flipping through the player list. She saw many familiar faces, including Song Chen and Long Xing, as well as Li Ru and Fan Yuanheng from Su Yun University.

After seeing all this, Lin Xuan felt better. At least she wasn't the weakest! Someone was there to protect her!

"That puts my mind at ease."

Lin Xuan scrolled to the bottom with a relieved look on her face, and then her eyes were drawn to the comments from netizens. She immediately spotted her name in the crowd.

[Hahahaha! Mimikyu-sensei's avatar is still so unique!]

Dead memories begin to attack me.

So, is this considered a dark chapter in Ibrahimovic's history?

[What dark history? What's wrong with our Emperor Yi giving the middle finger?]

At the pinnacle of immortality, reigning supreme over the world, with Eevee, there is heaven!

Seeing that Ibu still wanted to come closer to look, Lin Xuan immediately closed the page to avoid Ibu coming after her later.

"Alright, alright, everyone should rest well these next few days and prepare for the upcoming matches."

Lin Xuan decisively turned off her phone. Ibu, who hadn't seen anything, couldn't help but look at Lin Xuan with a suspicious gaze.

Something seems a bit suspicious!

"Elu..."

I think I can continue...

When Gallade heard Lin Xuan say that she needed to rest for a few days, she was about to speak to indicate that she could continue training when Xiaodian covered her mouth.

Damn it!

"Dandan~"

Gallade said he'll get some rest~

Xiaodian used "Seal" on Gallade, pushing him aside, and then smiled at Lin Xuan.

"We've been training for so long lately, it's about time to take a break. Maintaining long training sessions all the time isn't necessarily a good thing; a balance between work and rest is very important."

Lin Xuan mainly felt that Gallade had been pushing itself too hard lately. Although it had made great progress, it should slow down. These things can't be rushed.

Before Gallade could speak, Little Point nodded first.
