Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

[Background music should be playing here!]

Why is everyone kneeling, crying, and repenting in a three-part sequence?

"As for whether it has the characteristics of a ferocious insect, we'll find out soon enough."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and then casually said again, "As for the 'Fierce Insect'... that definitely refers to Insect Premonition. However, this trait, like Blaze, increases the output of Insect-type skills when the target is low on health, and is jokingly referred to as 'Fierce Insect' by many people."

Iron Palm Warrior switched sides immediately upon getting close, unleashing several Flame Fists at Heracross, leaving Heracross barely able to parry.

The battle between Heracross and Iron Fist was exciting to watch, with every punch landing hard, but there wasn't much to say about it. Both Pokémon were strong but also had some other strengths. However, Iron Fist from Willow Springs was clearly better in this regard, quickly cornering Heracross.

Lin Xuan frowned as she looked at the battered and bruised Heraklion.

"No insect sense triggered? It seems that Senior Sister and Heracross's traits are quite compatible, both overconfident!"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but think this way. After all, no normal person would make the decision to send an overconfident elf out at this time, right? Bai Yao may be a bit silly usually, but she definitely wouldn't make a mistake like this. It can only be said that she's overconfident...

[As expected of the senior sister, she's amazing!]

When will Ms. Mimikyu be able to confidently transition and show us?

Although Heracross caused Iron Fist Warrior considerable trouble, it ultimately succumbed to his Flame Fist. After retrieving Heracross, Bai Yao deployed her last Pokémon—

"Ferris booger! That's Senior Bai Yao's strongest Pokémon."

Lin Xuan had been speculating about why Galarian's Farfetch'd could evolve, and then came to a possible reason: it was forced to!

If we're talking about the thinnest book in the world, it has to be Galar's cookbook. So even the Farfetch'd, which is quite delicious in its original form, faces a greater threat there than in other regions, and is thus forced to evolve!

Ahem, this is all just Lin Xuan's speculation. Please don't take it seriously. Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental!

In this battle, Lin Xuan witnessed for the first time the power of Senior Sister Bai Yao, this seemingly insignificant soldier.

Iron Palm Warrior, who had been dominating Heracross, was rendered powerless against Onion Soldier.

As Lin Xuan watched Cong Youbing relentlessly attack with his spear and shield, he directly addressed the viewers.

"See that? That's the real combat transition!"

The final battle was not much of a surprise. Although Iron Fist Warrior had been overwhelming Heracross, his fighting style meant he couldn't possibly escape unscathed. Coupled with the fact that Onion Soldier was stronger than him, Heracross was quickly defeated.

After watching the final battle, Lin Xuan put away her notebook and then decisively chose to... go home!

"See you next time, everyone! What, you're asking when the next live stream is? Hmm...maybe in three, four, five, six, seven, or eight days!"

After saying this, Lin Xuan pressed the end-of-broadcast button and picked up the data she had just recorded to look at.

"Senior Brother Liu Quan's Iron Palm Warrior is still troublesome. He is very agile. Judging from his battle with Sirfetch'd just now, his reaction speed is also quite fast. Even if Gallade teleports behind him, it will probably be difficult to hurt him."

After watching for so long, Gallade's biggest opponent is still Sirfetch'd, but the next one will be Iron Fist Warrior. As for how to deal with it... Lin Xuan needs to spend some time thinking about it and watch the previous videos a few more times.

"Elu~"

"Damn it! Why are you all so quiet?!"

Gallade's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Lin Xuan, who was focused on studying tactics, so much that she almost fell off her chair. She then turned around and looked at Gallade speechlessly.

"Elu~"

Gallade shrugged helplessly. Teleport was completely silent, so what was he supposed to do? Besides, wasn't it Lin Xuan who had previously said he should use Teleport as much as possible in his daily life as practice?

Gallade returned from the training ground, which is much better than the four useless people lying on the sofa not far away. Perhaps it's because they've been spending too much time with Little Point and Eevee that even Little West and Little Xiaomi have joined the ranks of those who are just giving up!

"Is there a problem?"

Gallade suddenly ran back and called out to us, so something must have happened.

Sure enough, Gallade nodded, then distanced itself from Lin Xuan slightly, while simultaneously opening the blade on its right arm and slashing out instantly!

The movement was extremely fast; Lin Xuan only felt a blur before her eyes as Gallade's blade slashed past.

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up when she saw Gallade use its skills.

"This is... the Swallow Return?"

"Ailu!"

Gallade nodded again. Aerial Aerial was a skill he could normally master, and he had quickly mastered it after training for a while.

"Very good. You should also focus on training the Swallow Return skill in the near future."

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "The Swallow Return skill has one characteristic: the action is extremely fast. Although the power is a bit low, it can be used at a speed that the opponent cannot see. It is a perfect match with Gallade's Instant Transmission."

The Swallow Return combined with Instant Movement makes it virtually impossible to miss, and the rapid attacks also continuously wear down the opponent's stamina. Most importantly...

No matter which Pokémon Bai Yao is facing, or Liu Quan's Sirfetch'd, Aerial Ace will have an excellent effect, especially against Heracross, after all, a four-fold weakness to Flying is no joke...

Besides its current practical value, Aerial Ace has great potential. Although it is not reflected in its name, it is actually a cutting move that can be amplified by Gallade's Sharpness ability.

"Keep up the good work!"

Lin Xuan smiled and said to Gallade, "Currently, the situation is still very good, and the advantage is in our hands!"

"Ailu!"

What do you need the elf for?

The next day, Dr. Sun Siming received a call from Lin Xuan. At first, he was very happy, thinking that this little brat would actually call him, but he was confused the next second.

Because Lin Xuan wanted him to find a way to borrow a few elves over there.

"I know you want to participate in that martial arts tournament, but this competition should be registered with the League, and you can't use Pokémon that aren't your own."

Dr. Sun Siming said seriously that, in his opinion, there was a good chance that Lin Xuan would do such a thing... after all, this guy's thinking was usually a bit unconventional.

"Oh, Doctor, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would cheat even in a competition like this?"

Lin Xuan scratched his nose to hide his guilty conscience. He had indeed had such a thought at first, after all, the special medicated plaster was too important, but he quickly dismissed it. After all, he wouldn't be stupid enough to think that the people of Jinhui Dojo were fools and left such a loophole.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Dr. Sun Siming then asked, "Lin Xuan is currently at the Jin Hui Gym, so there shouldn't be any need for Pokémon, right?"

"Let's do some small experiments."

Lin Xuan chuckled, then spoke to the doctor.

That's right, he wanted the professor to borrow some Pokémon for him so he could... test which Pokémon his Mega Stone belonged to!

Logically speaking, if you have a Key Stone and give the Mega Stone to the corresponding Pokémon, and the distance between the two is so short, there shouldn't be no reaction at all.

The only problem with this testing method is that... Lin Xuan couldn't find enough corresponding Pokémon, so he had to ask the professor for help.

As for Dr. Sun Siming, although he didn't know what Lin Xuan wanted these elves for, he chose to trust him and, after a moment's thought, said:

“There is a research institute in Jinhui City. Dr. Gao Yun there was my student before. He is now the head of the Jinhui Research Institute. You can ask him for help.”

"Hey, there are people you know at the research institute in Jinhui City, Doctor. Why didn't you tell me before?"

Lin Xuan paused for a moment before asking. He had been in Jinhui City for a while and had heard of the Jinhui Research Institute. In terms of scale, it was far inferior to Dr. Sun Siming's research institute, but it had achieved quite a few results and was considered somewhat famous.

According to the doctor, Dr. Gao Yun was his student, so he should pay him a visit.

As for Lin Xuan's question, Dr. Sun Siming simply waved his hand.

"You've been in Jinhui City for so long, you should know a little about what the research institutes there do, right?"

"Uh... I remember it was related to studying the natural habits of Pokémon," Lin Xuan replied after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, that's why he often needs to go out and is mostly not in the research institute. So there's no need for you to make a wasted trip. But it seems he's returned to Jinhui City these past two days. You can go and visit him; he's your senior."

"Okay!" Lin Xuan nodded, while pondering why the term "senior brother" seemed to be popping up everywhere lately, but she continued to ask, "Then what kind of spirit do I want..."

"Just talk to him. Although it's very different from our research institute, you'll definitely be able to get some of the mainstream Pokémon from him... Just don't ask him for any pseudo-legendary Pokémon or anything like that!"

After thinking for a moment, Dr. Sun Siming reminded him that he mainly felt Lin Xuan might really ask for an exorbitant amount, and his student... was a very honest person, so he probably couldn't find one for Lin Xuan.

"Don't worry, I just want some ordinary elves."

Lin Xuan patted her chest and assured him, and then soon received Dr. Gao Yun's contact information from the doctor's side.

Even if some Pokémon are needed for experiments, they should be brought in batches. For example, we definitely need to get one Steelix first, since Lin Xuan obtained his Mega Stone from Steelix, and we wonder if there will be any connection.

Secondly, there are some Rock-type and Steel-type Pokémon, such as Mawile, whose cave is rich in minerals, which might also be related.

In addition to the Pokémon that are truly needed, Lin Xuan also needs some ordinary Pokémon to cover his tracks.

After all, judging from the current situation, Mega Evolution will definitely be announced eventually. If I find a lot of Pokémon that can Mega Evolve in the future, won't people become suspicious when they see it?

Lin Xuan was unsure, but didn't want to take any risks.

Chapter 301 The Elf is Acquired

With Dr. Sun Siming's introduction, Lin Xuan quickly contacted Dr. Gao Yun and expressed her desire to borrow a few Pokémon.

"Just this little thing? No problem, as long as it's not some particularly rare elf, I can handle it!"

Gao Yun's voice came from the other end of the phone. He had just learned from his teacher, Dr. Sun Siming, that he had a junior brother who had also arrived in Jinhui City. He complained to Dr. Sun Siming about why he hadn't been told sooner.

After all, thinking about it carefully... it seems like this teacher of mine hasn't taken on any students for quite some time, because the students taught by President Zhao Qi at Huada University can't really be counted. If we're talking about Lin Xuan's previous formal students...

Gao Yun felt that if he remembered correctly, it should be Gu Yuan. He had been by his teacher's side for many years, which made him somewhat envious. However, since his research direction was different from Dr. Sun Siming's, even if he stayed there, he might not be able to help much.

"Then it's settled. Come to the research institute tomorrow afternoon. I'll be back soon anyway."
