Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

As a former professional trainer who has participated in many dangerous missions, Zhou Xu is obviously quite wild in his speech. However, considering that the principal and others were sitting on the side, he forcibly swallowed the word back, only to make Chansey feel a little wronged.

"It's almost impossible for an electric squirrel with this level of strength to learn how to use Energy Ball on its own, let alone be quite proficient at it. If nothing unexpected happens, it must have received professional instruction."

After a series of analyses, Zhou Xu said this.

Meanwhile, the other teachers looked at each other in bewilderment. They were not professional trainers, and their understanding of this area was naturally not as good as Zhou Xu's.

“This electric flying squirrel has great potential and strength, but there’s just one problem…” At this point, Zhou Xu’s face showed a pained expression again.

"So why didn't he choose the combat-oriented class?"

Even though their school's Evolution Department is very strong, from the perspective of the whole of China and even the world, combat is definitely the most popular major without exception. Lin Xuan's ability to get into the Evolution Department proves that he has a good grasp of the book knowledge. If he were to apply for the combat department, even the combat department of Shanghai University would not be without hope.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he came to terms with it. After all, if Lin Xuan applied for the combat major, would their school still have a chance to pick up the leftovers?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu's inner knot was instantly untied.

"Lost..."

After a moment of stunned silence, Xu Yao recalled Diglett into his Poké Ball. Although he knew Zhong Wenxing's strength and that he had almost no chance of defeating him, he still felt that even if he couldn't win the championship, he had a good chance of winning the runner-up position after seeing that the opponent was in the other half of the competition.

In the end, they were eliminated in the semifinals. Although this result was already very good in the eyes of many people, he was still unwilling to accept it. Ultimately, it came down to one reason... Lin Xuan was not one of their opponents.

"Your electric flying mouse can use the Energy Ball skill."

Xu Yao said somewhat unwillingly, after all, he had not expected it at all. If he had known earlier, he might have been able to take precautions.

Unlike Zhou Xu, Xu Yao, while finding Xiao Dian's ability to create energy balls somewhat unexpected, wasn't particularly surprised, given his limited understanding of the subject.

Otherwise, if they knew, they would probably just curse and say, "What kind of monster is Lin Xuan, this electric flying rat?"

"He just learned it by practicing on his own."

Lin Xuan also put the small snack back beside him, and this was the only explanation he could give to Xu Yao's doubts.

"Practice on your own..."

This time, not only Xu Yao, but even the referee on the side couldn't help but glare at him. He had learned it by practicing, but when did the Energy Ball skill become so common?

Young man, this isn't how you show modesty!

However, what he didn't expect was that Lin Xuan's words were not just modesty, because the smaller energy ball was something he had practiced on his own, and Lin Xuan dared not take credit for it.

Xu Yao was speechless after Lin Xuan's words, and could only walk off the field with the Poké Ball in his hand. However, he couldn't help but say something harsh before leaving.

"I didn't know your Electabuzz had the Energy Ball skill this time. I'll definitely win next time we battle."

Since he had already won, Lin Xuan didn't want to continue to discourage the young man, so he just gave him a slightly smug smile.

Chapter 37 Unleashes the Ultimate Move

"Boss, please have an iced cola."

Lin Xuan returned to the players' lounge and saw Li Yuan eagerly handing her a bottle of cola.

"Hmm, well done, Leonardo DiCaprio!"

Lin Xuan didn't stand on ceremony at all and reached out to take it, only to find that she had grabbed nothing.

"You think you're so great, huh!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and shoved the iced cola down Lin Xuan's neck. Although it wasn't winter yet, it had just been taken out of the refrigerator and was still covered in condensation, giving Lin Xuan a shiver from the cold.

"Besides, who said it was for you? Isn't it all thanks to you? Isn't it all thanks to Xiaodian?"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan, then opened the Coke and handed it to Xiao Dian. Xiao Dian grinned at Lin Xuan, then held the iced Coke in his two little paws and gulped it down.

Lin Xuan pursed his lips at the scene before him but didn't say anything. After all, the credit seemed to go to Xiao Dian. Even the Energy Ball skill was something he had figured out himself, so he just found him a textbook.

"Also, on that other arena, Zhong Wenxing finished his battle at almost the same time as you," Li Yuan reminded Lin Xuan.

"So fast?"

Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised, after all, he had already ended the battle quickly, relying on a surprise attack. His opponent hadn't expected Xiao Dian to have the Energy Ball skill and hadn't taken precautions.

"I just recorded a video here, do you want to see it?" Li Yuan took out his phone and waved it at Lin Xuan.

"Let's see." Lin Xuan said decisively. After all, she understood the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy and you will never be defeated. Although she hadn't originally thought about winning, since she had made it to the finals, she still had to give it a try.

Li Yuan casually found something nearby and propped his phone up on it. Because of the distance, the photo wasn't very clear, but the general situation was still visible.

Zhong Wenxing's Pokémon is a Jigglypuff, which is the evolved form of the singing Jigglypuff in the Pokémon anime. Although I already knew about Zhong Wenxing's Pokémon, I still felt a sense of contrast when I saw Jigglypuff.

After all, Jigglypuff is a cute pink elf, and while Zhong Wenxing's appearance isn't exactly burly, it's not exactly delicate either. It always feels a bit strange for the two of them to be together.

As for his opponent's Pokémon, it was a very powerful Calamity.

The Magmar, a type of Pokémon, thrives in high-temperature environments. The hotter it is, the more energetic they become. As a result, they can be found in many volcanoes, and they can even move freely through lava.

Although people know that there are dwarf firebeasts in such places, most people wouldn't go there for no reason. After all, it's a harsh environment, and these guys swim in lava all the time and dive down whenever they're in trouble. Which trainer would dare to chase them?

If someone has the ability to chase a Magma in lava, they probably wouldn't need this Pokémon.

Furthermore, Magmar has an evolution called Magmar, but the Lava Amplifier required for its evolution has not yet been invented, as has the Electivire's Electivire.

Even without evolving, Magmar's potential is still quite good.

The Flame Body skill, which is practically useless in the game, can be incredibly useful in real life. After all, just touching it could result in burns from extremely high body temperatures, so even without the Flame Body skill, it can still be effective.

The battle began, and the Magmar took the initiative. The scorching air surged forward from behind him, and even through the screen, one could almost feel the heat emanating from it.

Hot air! And it's a large-area AOE skill!

It's worth noting that the opponents Lin Xuan had encountered before mostly used skills like Lightning Flash and Spark, with the stronger ones using skills like Farmer's Three Punches. This was the first time he had seen a high-powered, wide-area AOE skill like Heat Wind.

If this were a high-level match, Lin Xuan felt that the best way to deal with Fatcat was to use Magic Dazzle, which is also a high-power AoE skill, using magic to defeat magic.

However, this chubby pudding doesn't seem to have learned Magic Dazzle yet, but it did use another skill with a similar effect—Sound!

Fatdog opened its mouth and took a deep breath, its belly instantly becoming round, and then roared out in an instant.

Faced with the deafening roar, the hot air that was originally heading towards Jigglypuff was blown back and instead hit Magmar itself. Fortunately, Magmar is a Fire-type, so it won't suffer too much damage. However, the deafening roar that followed was a different story.

The powerful sound waves blew the duckbill firebeast's body off its feet and slid it away. Even though it was resisting with all its might, it was still unable to withstand the attack.

And there's another crucial issue: the area-of-effect (AoE) move, Hyper Voice, might not only target Pokémon, but trainers also need to be careful.

The referee on one side had already quickly pulled out an earplug from somewhere and put it on, clearly anticipating this scene, while the opposing trainer could only cover his ears with both hands.

"Isn't that a foul? Is it allowed to attack a trainer?"

Li Yuan watched the video and said, somewhat speechlessly.

"This is a common problem with voice-based skills; you can't just prevent people from using them. It's already a favor that they didn't sing you a lullaby~"

However, even as he said that, Lin Xuan had already started thinking about where to borrow some earplugs so that he wouldn't have to yell at himself during the afternoon's match.

After using its powerful roar to repel the Magmar, Jigglypuff pressed its advantage, charging forward and unleashing a barrage of attacks that left the Magmar defenseless and unable to mount a fight.

"How about it?"

After watching the video, Li Yuan asked Lin Xuan for her thoughts.

"Useless~ It's just a simple case of overwhelming combat power."

Lin Xuan curled her lips, because there was no strategy in this match at all; it was purely a crushing defeat of the Pokémon's strength.

This Jigglypuff is far stronger than the Magmar, so Zhong Wenxing doesn't need any tactics; he can just charge in directly.

However, it wouldn't be entirely useless, since it allowed Lin Xuan to see one of Jigglypuff's skills—Voice of the Beast.

For agile Pokémon like Tiny, the move they fear most is probably a high-powered area-of-effect attack like this. It's hard to dodge, and it hurts when it hits.

At the same time, Lin Xuan also glanced at the video length. Subtracting the initial ten or so seconds of preparation time, it only took Fatdogee a little over a minute to defeat the Duckbill Firebeast.

This is a bit tricky.

Lin Xuan glanced at the little girl who was carefree eating tree fruit snacks on the side and thought to herself.

We really have to unleash our ultimate weapon!

Chapter 38 I'll give you a buff

Moreover, relying solely on the content of this video is insufficient to deduce the characteristics of this chubby cat.

A captivating body, a competitive spirit, or perhaps a keen awareness?

Its strongest trait is undoubtedly competitiveness. Once its ability is weakened, it immediately increases its special attack significantly. However, this is not a threat to Little Point, since it does not have any skills that can reduce the opponent's ability.

The most threatening thing is its alluring body. After all, of all of Little Point's skills, close-range attacks are the most common. It's also hard to determine the gender of this chubby little thing. If it really is a female and Little Point has been captivated by it, then things will be terrible.

As for the "perception" trait, it does have a slight effect on increasing observational skills in reality, but overall it is still a rather useless trait.

Just as Lin Xuan was thinking about what to do when facing this chubby cat that afternoon, she saw Li Yuan's fingers frantically tapping on his phone screen.

"What are you doing?"

"Come grab a red envelope! The counselor just sent one in the group chat, saying it's to celebrate your successful advancement to the finals."

"Damn it! You didn't even say a word!"

Lin Xuan quickly picked up her phone and frantically scrolled up in the group chat.

Sure enough, I found a red envelope with the words "Congratulations to Lin Xuan for entering the finals!" written on it.

"Don't worry, it seems to be distributed according to the number of people, so you're bound to get one... Damn, how come it's only 32 cents?"
