Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Well, my main purpose in coming here is to win the match and get the special salve. There's no need to keep it after the match is over."

Bai Yao nodded first, then noticed something was amiss.

"Wait a minute, what if you don't win the match?"

Bai Yao was unusually clever this time, discovering the blind spot. After all, the special ability plaster is only given to the final winner. Given Luo Guan's feelings for Lin Xuan, the special ability plaster is not something that can be given away casually, unless this guy is willing to stay as the next gym leader.

"I will win!"

Lin Xuan said it very casually, but all she got in return was a glare from Bai Yao. She had heard Lin Xuan say things like that far too often.

"So, if you don't win the game, you have to stay in Jinhui City?"

"Hiss~ That's true in theory, but we can't rule out the possibility of them just running away."

Lin Xuan said with some distress that although he wanted the special medicated plaster, there was nothing he could do if Luo Guan really refused to give it to him. He could only try to get the Doctor or Zhong Mingyi to help him out at the League.

Lin Xuan thought it wouldn't be a big problem to get a special plaster by relying on their connections, but she didn't want to trouble them unless absolutely necessary.

"Oh~"

Bai Yao didn't say much after hearing Lin Xuan's words, only nodding as if she was thinking. The referee on the side quickly walked onto the field and signaled to the two of them that the match was about to begin.

Lin Xuan and Bai Yao stopped their conversation and stood at opposite ends of the captain's field. Then, under the referee's command, they threw their Poké Balls almost simultaneously.

"Alureduo!"

"Onion Soldier!"

As Lin Xuan expected, Bai Yao sent out Farfetch'd, since it was her strongest Pokémon. However, there was also a chance that she would send out Heracross, which is a five-star Pokémon after all.

"Leaf Blade!"

As soon as the match started, Bai Yao went all out. Facing Lin Xuan, who already knew his fighting style, Bai Yao didn't hold back at all and had Cong Youbing use his full strength.

Farfetch'd's leek flew out of his hand and towards Gallade, like a sword from outer space, instantly slicing through the distance between the two Pokémon.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Xuan did not use the same tactics as yesterday, and Gallade's aura did not change as it did yesterday.

[What's going on? Didn't Mimikyu's Gallade get a huge power boost yesterday? Why isn't it working today?]

Is it only usable once?

[Didn't Teacher Mi Niqiu want to send it?]

"Ok?"

Not only the viewers in the live broadcast room, but also Bai Yao and Liu Quan, who knew a little about the inside story, were quite surprised as to why Lin Xuan did not activate the power of waveguide immediately.

"What is he going to do?"

Liu Quan, sitting in the audience, frowned, completely unable to understand what Lin Xuan was thinking. Shouldn't he have started using his wave-guiding power right away at a time like this?

Otherwise, how could Gallade possibly withstand an attack from Sirfetch'd?

"Without using waveguide power?"

Luo Guan was also stunned when he saw this scene, but he saw much more than Liu Quan. He knew that Lin Xuan must have some special idea to do this, and then he combined it with the strength that Lin Xuan had shown yesterday.

"This guy...could it be...?"

Luo Guan had an idea in his mind, but even he himself could hardly believe it, because it was just too shocking. Lin Xuan's performance yesterday was already enough to astound him.

But if it really is as he just thought... no matter what, Lin Xuan must stay at Jinhui Dojo! Even if he has to ask his teacher for help, he must keep Lin Xuan here!

As for Bai Yao, the person involved in this battle, she didn't think as much as Luo Guan did. She only had one thought in her mind... What is Lin Xuan up to now?

Indeed, without Lin Xuan's help, Gallade would have been unable to catch the Leaf Blade thrown by Sirfetch'd under normal circumstances, so it chose to teleport directly to another corner where Sirfetch'd was.

"Look for opportunities."

Lin Xuan mentally reminded Gallade that their Aura was still connected, but it was only used for communication and the aura mode was not activated.

This is also the state that minimizes the damage to Lin Xuan. Maintaining this state would allow Lin Xuan to fight continuously for several hours without any problem.

The instant Gallade teleported behind Sirfetch'd, Sirfetch'd reacted immediately, throwing his shield out again without even needing Bai Yao to give the next command.

At the same time, the scallion that had been flying away into the distance seemed to be guided back to the scallion soldier's hand.

Lin Xuan had naturally witnessed Cong Youbing's methods before. The rotating shield, with its sharp protrusions, resembled a spinning blade, and Bai Yao forcibly transformed the shield into an offensive weapon.

This time, Gallade did not choose to dodge, but instead spread the blades on its hands. After all, if it kept dodging, the use of Teleport would consume Gallade's stamina, and once it reached the limit of three Teleports, it might not be able to dodge Sirfetch'd's fatal attack.

"Sword Dance".

Lin Xuan's somewhat indifferent voice rang in Gallade's mind, but Gallade could still sense Lin Xuan's nervousness.

They had trained for a long time for this moment, and even sought help from Little Point and Ibrahimovic. Now was the time to truly see the results.

"Are we preparing to receive the attack from the Onion Soldier?"

Seeing this scene from not far away, Bai Yao tilted her head and thought it wasn't a good idea.

Although Gallade managed to deflect the attack with some skill in a training match some time ago, it's important to remember that Sirfetch'd wasn't playing at its full potential at that time; it was essentially just playing along with Lin Xuan.

Can you accept this?

I watched one of this Farfetch'd's previous battles; it instantly defeated its opponent's Pokémon with just one attack.

This Farfetch'd seems to be quite skilled at this attack method; its power is probably not much less than that of a melee attack.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gallade's twin swords opened in mid-air and then moved together, tracing an arc in the air at a special angle, rather than directly striking Sirfetch'd's shield.

Visibly, when Sirfetch'd's shield clashed with Gallade's blade, intense sparks flew. Although it lasted only a brief moment, it was enough to demonstrate the power of both Pokémon.

Gallade struggled to throw Baton Pass to the side.

However, there is another problem: Gallade must concentrate on the attack in order to receive it, which gives Sirfetch'd the opportunity to get close.

Although Gallade successfully blocked Sirfetch'd's shield, Sirfetch'd was already upon her in an instant.

Just as it was about to be knocked away, it retrieved its shield, then turned around and swung its long green onion at Gallade.

It was still a blade, but its power was even greater than before, since he was now holding a scallion in his hand.

Gallade still did not choose to back down, because Lin Xuan knew that if they retreated at this point, they would face an endless barrage of attacks from Sirfetch'd.

Gallade's twin blades didn't stop after knocking away the shield; instead, she continued her "Sword Dance" while facing Sirfetch'd's attack.

Of course, it wasn't a reckless attempt to force the attack, but rather a use of neutralizing force to try and deflect some of the Onion Soldier's power.

This is something Gallade learned from the Scroll of Evil a while ago.

One-hit style is definitely not just about launching an attack and throwing a punch. Before officially launching an attack, you also need to find the best opportunity and even use the opponent's force against them. This is the true "one-hit style" – finding every possible way to finish off the opponent as quickly as possible.

However, Sirfetch'd only learned the contents of the Evil Scroll a few days ago. Even with his high talent, it was impossible for him to truly master it in such a short time. In addition, Sirfetch'd's strength was simply too great. Even with this technique, Gallade could only remove a portion of it.

The moment they made contact, Gallade felt an overwhelming force acting on her, and Lin Xuan also felt this pressure through the Aura.

Gallade was quickly knocked away, and Sirfetch'd gave chase. But just as Gallade was about to land, Sirfetch'd used Teleport to appear in a corner, and once again missed with his sword.

However, while teleportation can change position, it cannot deflect force. When Gallade teleported to the corner, it crashed into the ground, creating a large crater.

At this moment, Bai Yao didn't need to say anything more. Scallion Soldier instantly discovered the direction of Gallade's teleportation. After all, unless he was deaf, he could tell just by listening.

Without turning his head, the green onion in his hand flew towards the direction where Gallade landed, directly piercing into the crater it had created.

"boom!"

Onion Soldiers' scallions slammed into the ground like a heavy hammer, making a dull thud, and everyone held their breath.

[Were you hit?]

[The Onion Ranger is so cool!]

A real man never looks back at an explosion!

What should I do if I feel like I've been recruited?

However, Bai Yao felt no relief whatsoever, because she knew the competition wouldn't end so quickly. She also noticed Lin Xuan's expression, which was just as calm as hers, and Lin Xuan even smiled at her when she noticed her gaze.

Bai Yao glared at him immediately, but then quickly reminded Cong Youbing:

"Be careful up there!"

Farfetch'd looked up and realized that Gallade had somehow appeared above him and showed no signs of injury.

As for Lin Xuan at this moment, he hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to use his ultimate move at this time. But after thinking about it, he shook his head. Now was not the best time. He had to wait!

Gallade unleashed its twin swords, merging them into one. The scene resembled the one in the previous semi-final where Gallade used the Sacred Sword to defeat Iron Fist Warrior, only with less power.

Chapter 349 The Battle for the Green Onions

Gallade's Holy Sword slashed directly towards Sirfetch'd, and the two Holy Swords merged into one in mid-air, instantly increasing their power once again. Even Sirfetch'd dared not underestimate them.

But that's all. For Bai Yao, Lin Xuan's attack really wasn't much of a threat.

"Block."

Bai Yao didn't even let Cong Youbing use any skills, and Cong Youbing's scallion was still lying in the big pit not far away because of the attack just now. That's why Lin Xuan hesitated just now, wondering if this was the best opportunity, but in the end, he still didn't choose to make a move at this time.

After receiving Bai Yao's order, Farfetch'd raised the shield in his other hand and blocked Gallade's Holy Sword.

The Holy Sword and the shield collided violently, and Sirfetch'd's defense was not just a simple defense; he also put a lot of force into the shield, directly ramming it into Gallade's Holy Sword.

Ultimately, even Gallade, who was the attacker, was knocked away, while Sirfetch'd only staggered back a few steps.
