Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

I hope that Mr. Mimikyu can pass away peacefully; he was so kind.

[Zhong, I'm so heartbroken, I could cry.]

"Thanks to Zhong Mingyi for being such a handsome guy—[Compared to you, I've actually been pretty good to you]...Indeed!"

Seeing Zhong Mingyi's eye-catching comment, Lin Xuan nodded after a moment of silence. The reason for her silence was that she hadn't streamed for a long time and couldn't find the mute settings for a moment, but she quickly solved it and once again gave Zhong Mingyi a long-awaited mute package.

After receiving blessings from Song Chen and Zhong Mingyi, Lin Xuan began the official program for the evening.

"I'll be providing commentary on the match tonight!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, she pulled up Bai Yao's match video.

[You actually still remember your old profession?]

【? ? ? 】

[Tears welling up]

[You must be a fake Mimikyu teacher, right? It must be an illusion created by Eevee using its psychic powers!]

"Ahh~"

Eevee, who was lying on the sofa playing games with Little Dot, suddenly sneezed. Why is someone still thinking about her at a time like this?

"Couldn't it be that I thought of you all and specially came here to do a live commentary?"

Lin Xuan said with dissatisfaction, "These people are questioning my professional ethics!"

[Impossible, absolutely impossible! 】

Before asking this question, have you looked back at when you last submitted a video?

Mimikyu is about to evolve from Beandove.

Without dwelling on the topic for too long, Lin Xuan quickly ignored the comments from these trolls and got straight to the point, beginning her explanation.

Lin Xuan put Bai Yao and Liu Quan's matches later and watched the provincial semi-finals first.

"Ahem! Let me formally introduce our contestant! This is our Jin Hui Martial Arts Academy's leader, Senior Sister Bai Yao!"

After all, she's my senior, so I should at least introduce her.

Is this all there is to "us"? I feel sorry for contestant Xiao Zhong.

Do you still remember your role as a dojo instructor in Jianghai City?

So, love can disappear, right?

[Wrong! Love doesn't disappear, it just transfers. So, has Mimikyu-sensei transferred her love for Kokai Dojo to Kinkai Dojo?]

"Don't talk nonsense! I am still wholeheartedly devoted to Jianghai City Dojo and Xiao Zhong! I am absolutely loyal and reliable!"

Lin Xuan quickly clarified that although he had banned Zhong Mingyi, he might still be in the live stream, so he had to be careful. He then carefully moved closer to the microphone and whispered.

"Actually, I came to Jinhui Dojo with a special purpose. Those who know, know; those who don't, I can't say more."

After saying that, he immediately sat up straight, as if he hadn't said anything at all.

Are you also a know-it-all?

So, Professor Mimikyu is actually an undercover agent!

[Teacher Mimikyu endured all that hardship just for contestant Xiao Zhong? That's truly admirable...so touching!]

Lin Xuan wasn't particularly interested in the first half of the match; the most important part was the second half, where Bai Yao's opponent also had a four-star Pokémon—Steel Cannon Shrimp!

"The Steel Cannon Shrimp has a seemingly impressive ability: Super Launcher, which can amplify the power of wave-type skills, even increasing the recovery amount of Healing Wave. However, in reality, it's still a very ordinary ability."

Lin Xuan shook her head and said.

"It's not that this trait is mediocre. Look at similar Sharpness traits, how strong are they? Their strength lies in the number of cutting moves, while yours has only one wave-type move, Water Pulse! You think Water Pulse can be your main move? Can it? No, it doesn't have that ability, you know!"

Although they look similar, the characteristics of the Super Launcher are completely incomparable to Gallade's sharpness. It has a whole bunch of moves like Sacred Sword, Leaf Blade, Slash, Dark Slash, and Water Slash, which are too many to list in one breath. On the other hand, the number of wave-type moves is very small, and they are not even comparable to the cutting moves in terms of skill effects.

After giving a sharp review of the Super Launcher's abilities, Lin Xuan looked at Bai Yao's position. The Pokémon she released wasn't the strongest Farfetch'd, but Babuboo, which made sense since Babuboo was completely super effective against it.

"Look at our senior's Babubo, that's really something else. This Pokémon has two signature moves. One is Thunder Strike, a super powerful physical Electric-type move. The downside is that, like Burnout, it loses its Electric type after use. As for the other one, that's even more amazing—Resurrection Prayer!"

Lin Xuan paused for a moment at this point before continuing.

"Resurrection Prayer is a skill exclusive to Babubo and Scarab. It can restore some of the health and injuries of the right-hand Pokémon that has fainted and lost its strength. It is too domineering, but the price for this is that it can only be used once for a long time. It is a powerful move with an extremely long cooldown."

The effect of the Resurrection Prayer skill is so terrifying that it is even stronger than Cresselia's Crescent Moon Dance in some ways, as the latter sacrifices itself to restore all the statuses of teammates... So, can these two things be exploited through bugs?

Chapter 298 Electric Double Strike

"Furthermore, Babubo is arguably one of the strongest electric mice, comparable to Raichu!"

Lin Xuan continued, "Ever since Babu Groundhog appeared in the Zhu Zi, the title of the strongest electric mouse will probably have to be given to him. After all, the skills Electric Double Strike and Resurrection Prayer are really overpowered. At the same time, Babu Groundhog also has a very good racial distribution."

If we had to point out any shortcomings of this Pokémon, it would probably be its ability. After all, it doesn't have the most useful Electric-type ability, Lightning Rod, but instead has Electric Charge. Its hidden ability, Iron Fist, is actually quite good.

If this guy's normal characteristic of storing electricity were replaced with a lightning rod, Lin Xuan would call it perfect, but unfortunately, it can't be replaced.

While making a sharp comment on Babuboo, Lin Xuan also watched the live comments.

"Thanks to Laplace's SC—【How about the Electric Mouse?】 Electric Mouse? Cough cough~ Just a useless little thing~"

When Lin Xuan spoke the second half of the sentence, he lowered his voice slightly and leaned closer to the microphone. However, Xiao Dian was currently having an exciting time with Ibu and didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Xuan.

[Teacher Mimikyu is so brave!]

So, do you dare say these things when Xiaodian is around?

[I want to see Teacher Mimic take 100,000 volts in the face]

"Ahem, let's watch the game instead!"

Lin Xuan coughed twice to change the subject, since if Xiao Dian got bored later and checked the comments, he would have to come and argue with him again.

"Alright, the match has begun. Babu Tubo used electromagnetic waves immediately, which is quite skillful. I never use such skillful techniques. Being upright and honorable is my motto!"

Lin said these things without any embarrassment, but the viewers in the live stream couldn't stand it anymore. After all, who among the viewers in the live stream hadn't watched a few of Lin Xuan's matches?

As long as it's a small spot, it's just rubbing against the cheek and creating shadow clones every day.

【? ? ? 】

You seem to be the least qualified person to say something like that, don't you?

[Mimikyu has activated her Disguise ability again, but don't worry, there's another layer!]

Lin Xuan doesn't care at all about these "haters'" comments; the innocent will clear themselves!

"Spirit Shrimp is a Water-type Pokémon, which is inherently inconvenient for it to move around on land. Not to mention, Pirit Shrimp is not a Pokémon known for its speed. Putting everything else aside, just look at its thin body and thick launcher arms; it doesn't look like it can run at all."

"However, there is a nozzle at the back of the large claw of the Steelix, from which a powerful jet of water can be shot out to propel itself forward. This characteristic means that even if Steelix is ​​not a Pokémon that is good at strength, it will basically learn a water jet."

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, he saw that under the threat of Babu Tubo's electromagnetic waves, a strong stream of water immediately shot out from behind the Steel Cannon Shrimp, causing its body to slide to one side and avoid Babu Tubo's attack.

"Although I'd like to make my commentary more enthusiastic, the progress bar doesn't seem to allow it!"

Lin Xuan glanced at the progress bar with a hint of helplessness. There were only three minutes left. Considering the final result, it meant that Babu Tubo would finish off the Steel Cannon Shrimp within three minutes.

[Wow, it's over already?!]

[The battle was over in three minutes?]

It's okay, three minutes is still pretty impressive!

[You'd better be talking about the match, aren't you?]

"Thanks to my favorite Gardevoir SC—[Can Mimikyu-sensei last three minutes?] Hmm... Don't underestimate me like that, I think I should, maybe, probably can still do it."

Although Lin Xuan had a lot of uncertain words, she still had to say the most cowardly things in the toughest tone!

【? ? ? 】

[Pass this on, Teacher Mimikyu might not last three minutes!]

[Pass this on, Teacher Mimic Hill won't last even three minutes]

Lin Xuan: ? ? ?

"Spreading rumors is prohibited in this live stream! The streamer can also last quite a while!"

Lin Xuan retorted, "Not even three minutes? Who do you think you are?"

Although the result is already known, we still have to keep watching the game.

"Although the Steel Cannon Shrimp dodged Babu Groundhog's electromagnetic waves, these electromagnetic waves seemed to be used to confuse the opponent's attack, with the aim of getting the Steel Cannon Shrimp to move! You know, although the Water Jet skill can greatly increase speed in a short time, it also has a drawback, which is that it is difficult to control. Simply put, this temporary speed is not flexible and difficult to fully control."

Lin Xuan said seriously that the most obvious manifestation of this situation is when the Pokémon turns. If it is too hasty, it is very likely that you will not be able to react in time.

"And it seems that Senior Sister Bai Yao also took advantage of this. While Steel Cannon Shrimp used Water Jet to dodge, Babu Groundhog charged forward and used Thunder Fist!"

"So it seems that Senior Bai Yao's Babu Groundhog has the Iron Fist ability!"

Lin Xuan analyzed, and noted down this point, which was very important: the Iron Fist trait performed very poorly in the game, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a useless trait. While other traits increased damage by 30% or 50%, the Iron Fist trait only increased damage by 20%, which was ridiculously low.

However, this characteristic, if developed well in reality, can be quite powerful.

"Thanks to Little Chef Who Loves to Eat for his SC—[Why does using Thunder Punch result in the Iron Fist ability?] That's a great question!"

Lin Xuan then paused the video, moved it forward a few seconds, and jumped back to the scene of Babu Tubo using the Thunder Fist. Then she hovered the mouse over Babu Tubo's fist twice.
