Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Dandan~"

I'm so tired~

Enchanting skills with other attributes is much more difficult than using the plasma bath normally. This is only because Xiaodian dispersed the energy of the plasma bath at the beginning. Otherwise, if it were really condensed, Xiaodian himself probably wouldn't be able to control it.

"Your self-control needs improvement... and your stamina too. You ate so many tree fruits, how come you're tired after such a short time? You're so lame!"

Lin Xuan rolled her eyes at Xiao Dian.

"Dandan!" (ノ｀Д)ノ

But it's so tiring!

In the following period, Lin Xuan accompanied Xiao Dian to train in this "enchanting" process. At the same time, Lin Xuan also discovered that doing this was also a good exercise for Xiao Dian's control, which was a win-win situation.

If you get tired, just eat a couple of berries. If you run out of power, just go to the device on the side to recharge. There's absolutely nothing to worry about. And the Pokémon Center is right next door, so you can just push it there if you need anything.

It's practically a one-stop shop; it's hopeless, there's even a fire-type spirit there to handle the cremation...

Ahem, let's not talk about such unlucky things. After all, it's just practice, and there's no danger to that extent.

Finally, Lin Xuan also gave Xiao Dian a long break so she could rest properly, since there was a match in the afternoon and she couldn't be too tired.

"I just scouted out the enemy for you. I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

As they walked toward the arena, Li Yuan munched on bread and asked Lin Xuan beside him.

"Have the group assignments been released yet?"

"Of course, they all came out before the competition started. What else did you expect?" Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan, then continued, "You didn't come out completely unprepared, did you?"

"Cough cough, it's not that bad. I thought the group assignments would be announced during the competition."

Lin Xuan said somewhat awkwardly, while the little dot on his shoulder shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, masters and such are unreliable; he still had to rely on himself.

"Let me tell you the bad news first," Lin Xuan said after thinking for a moment.

"The bad news is that you need to be mentally prepared. Your opponent this time seems pretty strong, even among the combat-type players, they seem to be quite powerful, and now you've run into them~"

Li Yuan said somewhat helplessly that because there were so many students participating, even if Lin Xuan won the competition this afternoon, he would only be among the top 64. At this point, he encountered a very strong opponent, no wonder he said Lin Xuan was unlucky.

"What about the good news?"

"The good news is that guy's Pokémon is Scyther, which is a type disadvantage against Little Point."

"You call this good news?"

Lin Xuan was surprised.

Scyther and its evolved form Scizor have always been considered the face of the Bug type. Although Scyther has an evolved form, Scyther's evolution is probably the most unique in the Pokémon world because it does not change the total amount of base stats, but only the distribution.

He went from a high-attack, high-speed assassin to a warrior.

Even without evolution, it's not so easy to deal with.

"Isn't this restraint? Isn't this good news?"

Li Yuan wasn't that proficient in combat. Although he understood the most basic things like attribute counters, he didn't know anything more advanced.

"And look at the smaller one, doesn't he still look incredibly confident?"

As he spoke, Li Yuan pointed to Xiao Dian. Lin Xuan turned her head to look, and sure enough, the guy was standing on Lin Xuan's shoulder, looking down on everyone.

"Dandan!"

Watch as I slay him in three moves!

Lin Xuan: ...

It's true that we shouldn't let our little ones watch too many TV dramas. Where did they learn these lines from?

"Don't be overconfident. They are probably still very strong. Don't let your guard down."

Lin Xuan slapped Xiao Dian on the forehead. Xiao Dian was so engrossed in showing off that she didn't notice and almost fell off Lin Xuan's shoulder. Luckily, she managed to grab on and climb back up.

"As for Scyther..."

If it's a Scyther, then the Energy Ball that Little trained for so long this morning doesn't seem to be of much use. After all, Bug and Flying units have four times the resistance to Grass, so how can it possibly take down Scyther?

But after thinking for a while, Lin Xuan came up with a plan.

Lin Xuan seemed to be muttering something to herself, then turned to discuss it with Xiao Dian.

"When it's time for the battle later, do this first, then do that..."

Seeing Lin Xuan and Xiao Dian seemingly discussing tactics, Li Yuan wanted to come over and listen, but Lin Xuan held him down with one hand, so he didn't hear anything.

It's not because it's something shameful, it's just... this plan is a little embarrassing to talk about, so it's better not to let Li Yuan hear it.

"Dandan?"

Xiao Dian looked at Lin Xuan with a troubled expression, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed.

"dawn……"

I am strong, I don't need...

*Smack!* Lin Xuan slapped Xiao Dian's head again.

"What's the difference? What's the difference between your first match and this? Besides, this is called tactics. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Lin Xuan rolled her eyes at Xiao Dian.

Actually, it's because he's not very skilled with electric-type moves. Otherwise, why would he be worrying about this? He could just use Thunderbolt and that would be enough.

But Lin Xuan was also worried that if Xiao Dian used Thunderbolt, the first ones to fall would not be the opponent's Pokémon, but himself and the referee.

Aside from Thunderbolt, Little Point's most powerful Electric-type move is none other than Quick Attack in Plasma Bath mode.

"Dandan~"

After being lectured by Lin Xuan, Xiao Dian nodded as if she understood, seemingly accepting that it was a tactical setup.

"So what exactly did you two talk about?"

Li Yuan stood there dumbfounded. The two of them, a man and a rat, didn't even mention him when they spoke. How unfair!

"You'll find out soon enough. Don't pry into other people's business."

Lin Xuan waved to Li Yuan, and then, upon hearing the broadcast call, headed straight for her own battle platform, leaving Li Yuan standing there, completely bewildered.

Li Yuan: ...

Wow! I'm an outsider!

Having learned from his previous experience, Lin Xuan quickly found the No. 8 arena. However, before he arrived, there was already a girl standing on the other side, who should be his opponent this time.

"She's a girl~ I feel even more guilty now."

Lin Xuan muttered to himself, after all, his first Pokémon was Scyther. He originally thought his opponent would most likely be a boy, since Scyther is not a Pokémon that can be described as docile.

Most girls will choose starter Pokémon or Eevee as their first Pokémon when selecting their starter Pokémon, as well as Pokémon that can both battle and be cute.

Or it's perfectly acceptable to just leave it there to look cute.

Noticing that the girl opposite him seemed to be looking at him, Lin Xuan looked up and waved to her. She immediately lowered her head as if she was a little shy. After all, Lin Xuan was quite handsome, the kind of guy who could be paired with Gardevoir on screen.

The other party's reaction made Lin Xuan suddenly realize that he seemed to have forgotten a very important tactic: the beauty... oops, the handsome man tactic!

But after thinking about it, it's just a small competition, and it doesn't seem worth it to sell one's body for this.

Meanwhile, Xiao Dian was leaning on Lin Xuan's shoulder with a dejected look on his face. It was only because he didn't know what Lin Xuan was thinking that he would probably rub against him a couple of times to wake him up.

"Lin Xuan and Zhang Beibei, right? If you're both ready, let's begin the competition."

After glancing at the time, the referee said to Lin Xuan and the girl opposite him, "After all, this is just a freshman competition within the school. Even the referees aren't professionals; they're teachers from the combat department who do it on a part-time basis. So, things are rather casual in many ways."

"can."

"no problem."

The two nodded in unison, and then the other party released its Pokémon, which, just as Li Yuan had said, was a Scyther. After it came out, it only looked up at Lin Xuan and Xiao Dian before lowering its head to sharpen its scythe, giving off a rather aloof feeling.

However, Lin Xuan felt there was also an element of arrogance in it, which was something he was quite happy to see. After all, the arrogance of the insect king was almost ingrained in their genes, which was both the advantage and the disadvantage of the flying mantis.

"Little one, go ahead."

Lin Xuan sent Xiao Dian on stage, but this time Xiao Dian looked very timid and only "reluctantly" stood on the stage after Lin Xuan dragged her along.

It was almost exactly the same as the first game yesterday, except the difference was that Xiaodian was genuinely scared that day, but this time...

"Dandan~"

Little Dot looked startled by the flying mantis in front of her, and cautiously walked forward, covering her eyes with her two little claws, only revealing a little bit. But if you looked closely, you would find that Little Dot's gaze was now completely focused on the flying mantis.

But it's clear that the arrogant Scyther wouldn't notice such details, especially after seeing the small dot that seemed to be startled by it.

"Crack~"

The mantis sharpened its scythe, looking eager to end the battle quickly.

"My electric flying mouse is a bit timid. I wanted to have him come over and correct this habit. He won two games by accident, but he still can't change it."

Lin Xuan gave Zhang Beibei an honest smile and said, "After all, it wasn't all a lie. At least half of it was true. He brought Xiao Dian to the competition to help her overcome her fear of battle."

As for the second half of the sentence... well, it's just artistic embellishment.

"oh oh!"
