Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"It's alright, you can start training with Gallade tomorrow."

Lin Xuan: ...

You call this nothing? It's clearly a big deal!

"So where are we going?"

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Luo Guan stopped and turned to look at Lin Xuan, crossing his arms and saying calmly:

"Your Gallade has great potential, especially Teleport, which I've never seen before. If you can use it well, its future is limitless. But right now... there's still a lot of potential to be explored. I'd also like to hear your plans, and you can also listen to my opinion."

"Of course, what I say may not be entirely correct. Everyone's path is different. You can refer to it, but don't copy it completely, okay?"

"Understood." Lin Xuan nodded. The other party was a true Fighting-type master. To receive guidance from such a person was a dream come true for any Fighting-type trainer. Even among the apprentices of Jin Hui Dojo, not everyone had this qualification.

After all, an apprentice is not the same as a student, just like the difference between inner and outer disciples in fantasy and martial arts novels.

Lin Xuan followed Luo Guan to a training room. Luo Guan turned on the overhead light and closed all the windows. If the soundproofing were better, the outside would not be able to hear anything inside once the door was closed.

"close the door."

Upon hearing Luo Guan's instructions, Xiao Dian immediately closed the door behind her and then followed Lin Xuan and Luo Guan to the center of the training room.

"Let's release your Gallade first, let me see." Luo Guan glanced at the little dot next to Lin Xuan, but didn't say anything more.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xuan watched as a red light flashed in the center of the Poké Ball, and Gallade appeared between the two of them.

Following Luo Guan's instructions, Gallade demonstrated all the skills it currently possessed, while Luo Guan watched silently. However, when he saw the final three consecutive Teleports, he couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows twice.

Although I had already witnessed it during the battle, seeing it in person still made me think... this is fucking insane!

After Gallade finished demonstrating all its skills, Lin Xuan and Gallade turned their attention to Luo Guan, who was standing to the side, wanting to hear his evaluation.

Do you want to hear the truth from me?

Facing the gazes of Lin Xuan and Gallade, Luo Guan simply spoke quietly.

"Of course." Lin Xuan nodded firmly.

"The Holy Sword and Mental Blade skills performed well, but only at an excellent level; they weren't impressive enough to truly amaze me," Rhoda stated directly.

Although this praise is already quite high for Rhoda, after all, as the Gym Leader of Kinkaku City, what kind of Pokémon hasn't he seen? To receive a word of "excellent" from him is something countless trainers would crave.

However, Gallade was not satisfied, because what he wanted was not just a simple "excellent".

The small dots on one side directly represent a protest.

"Dandan! Dandan!"

What makes someone excellent? Even he has to be extremely careful when battling Gallade, or he might lose.

But Lin Xuan pulled the flying dot down from above because he had caught the details of Luo Guan's words, and then continued to ask.

"What about an overall evaluation of Gallade?"

"Overall assessment..." Luo Guan sighed, but still said, "Perverted, fucking perverted."

Lin Xuan: ...

Although the result was not much different from what he expected, you are a master and a dojo master, can't you be a little more reserved when you speak?

However, this cannot be blamed on Luo Guan, since even he has never seen any Pokémon that can teleport three times in a row.

And this is only when Gallade is only three-star. When he becomes stronger, he might become even more terrifying.

"So now you should understand how to train from here on out, right?"

Luo Guan said seriously to Lin Xuan that he still had high hopes for Lin Xuan, but he had to admit that this Gallade had gone a little astray.

"No matter how useful Teleport is, it is ultimately only one part of the skill. For Gallade, the most important thing is still its own strength. Appropriate skills can improve combat power, but excessive pursuit of skills is putting the cart before the horse."

Luo Guan reminded Lin Xuan in this way, and Lin Xuan fell into deep thought after listening to Luo Guan's words.

Before this, I had indeed neglected other aspects because of Gallade's overly powerful teleportation ability, and now that I think about it, it is indeed as Roda said.

"Furthermore, while Gallade's skills are all quite powerful, it hasn't truly grasped their essence. Skills like the Holy Sword emphasize a righteous spirit and unwavering determination. Using it as a means of sneak attack is always a step down. This skill is far more complex than it seems."

Among ordinary Pokémon, besides Aegislash and Oshawott, only Gallade can learn Sacred Sword. If we also consider the Fighting type, then it's just Gallade. As for the rest, they are all legendary Pokémon and are not within the scope of this discussion.

"Moreover, the most important technique for skills like Holy Sword and Leaf Blade is to concentrate all the power on one point to break through the surface. If your Gallade can fully master this technique, even the Bricannon from Liuquan just now probably wouldn't be able to withstand it at all, and wouldn't need to spend so much time wearing down its stamina."

Lin Xuan nodded. They should indeed put aside Instant Transmission for the time being and focus on developing Gallade's inherent abilities and the potential of these skills.

"And...your Gallade has the Justice or Unyielding ability, right?"

Luo glanced at Gallade and asked, "If it had the Sharp ability, it probably could have broken through Bricaron's defense just now. The Sharp ability's boost to Gallade is too terrifying."

"A heart of justice," Lin Xuan replied directly.

"If I'm not mistaken... your purpose in participating in the competition is probably for the special medicated plaster, right?"

"Uh...that's right."

Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised that Luo Da had guessed her purpose so quickly, but there was no point in hiding it, except—

"If I win, you won't refuse to give it to me, will you?"

Lin Xuan asked tentatively, since the special ointment was very precious, and it seemed understandable if the other party didn't want to take it out. But Luo Guan just laughed out loud at Lin Xuan's question.

"Hahahaha! You don't need to worry about that. This is the rule that Jinhui City Dojo has always followed. It's just a special talisman. If you can win the martial arts tournament, I'll give it to you. I won't be bothered by it."

"That's good~" Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. If Luo Guan had said that the special salve couldn't be given, Lin Xuan would probably have just run away and called on Dr. Yi to try to get it from the League.

"But are you really that confident you can win the championship?" After saying that, Luo looked at Gallade on the side. "Although his strength is not bad, it is still unlikely that he can win the game."

Are the martial arts tournament participants very strong?

"Yes, at least for now, you are no match for us." Luo Guan's words were very certain, leaving no room for doubt.

"It's okay, there's still more than a month left, I'm confident!"

Lin Xuan just grinned; he was quite confident in himself and Gallade in this regard.

Seeing Lin Xuan's reaction, Luo Guan not only showed no fear but became even more confident, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

This guy might just be to his master's liking.

"That's good. Every morning, someone will wake you up for training. Remember not to be late."

After saying this, Luo Guan walked straight out of the training room, and Lin Xuan quickly went up to ask him a question.

"Do I want it too? Is it okay if I don't train? My main job is as a commentator and researcher!"

"No."

------

"Lin Xuan, get up, get up!"

Lin Xuan was lying on her bed in the dormitory room of Jinhui Taekwondo Academy, fast asleep, when she heard someone calling her name repeatedly. She reluctantly opened her eyes.

"Ok?"

"Get up and start training! It was originally Junior Sister Cheng Yin who said she would come to wake you, but since she's a girl, it wasn't convenient for her, so she asked me to come instead."

Lin Xuan didn't quite catch what Liu Quan was saying; she simply picked up her phone and glanced at the time.

"It's only 5:30, what are you doing so early?"

After saying that, he let go of his phone, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep again.

"Training starts at six o'clock."

Liu Quan said helplessly, feeling that his genius junior brother was still not quite used to the environment of Jinhui Martial Arts Academy.

"Dan dan dan!"

Little Dian, who was still asleep in bed, sat up abruptly and kicked Lin Xuan in the face.

Hurry up and go with him, don't disturb my sleep!!!

Your training has nothing to do with me, I want to sleep!

"Ugh~ Ptooey!"

He slapped the little paw that had been stuck into his mouth and barely opened his eyes to look at Liu Quan in front of him.

"Is it really this early?"

"That's right, get up quickly, or the teacher will be angry."

"Good~"

Lin Xuan swore that he hadn't gotten up this early more than a few times since he transmigrated. Even when he was at the dojo in Chuanfu City, where the training was more focused on meditation, it wasn't this absurd.

Yawning, Lin Xuan slowly got out of bed, while Liu Quan had already reached the door and said to Lin Xuan, who was swaying as she walked to the bathroom door:

"Hurry up! I've already put your breakfast on the table."

After saying that, she left. About five minutes later, Lin Xuan, who had washed up, was a little more awake. She went straight to bed and pulled Xiao Dian up with her.

"Get up! Did you hear me?!"

Lin Xuan walked to the bedside and pulled Xiao Dian off the bed. After a moment of confusion, Xiao Dian began to twist her body wildly.

"Dan dan dan!"

What does your training have to do with me?!
