Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

【? ? ? 】

【Something's wrong! 】

Is Teacher Mimikyu about to unleash his power?

[I want to report this! Someone is attempting to interfere with the game from outside the field!!]

"Who here is accusing me?" Lin Xuan glanced at the comments. "Moderator, please mute the guy who said he was going to report me."

XXX has been banned from speaking by the moderator, Pikachu, for 1 minute.

[Pikachu is amazing!]

You actually betrayed us?!

The dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon.

"Alright, the match has officially begun. As you can see, our Zhong Mingyi has once again released his Venusaur, which shows his considerable confidence! Although this Venusaur is not Zhong Mingyi's main Pokémon, it has overcome numerous obstacles in previous matches, almost never encountering any opponents and always achieving crushing victories. I believe today will be no exception. Let's see how our great Zhong Mingyi will achieve victory!"

"Let's wait and see if Venusaur will win." Lin Xuan sneered and then lightly slammed the cola bottle on the table.

[Is anyone willing to do a reading comprehension exercise?]

[From Mimikyu's words, one can hear her "sincere" blessings for contestant Zhong Mingyi, especially the sound of the Coke bottle hitting the table. It seemed unintentional, but it actually reflected Mimikyu's excitement and expectations for the future... Okay, I can't make this up anymore.]

[The class representative for Chinese language got a perfect score!]

【6666】

If Zhong Mingyi's main Pokémon are all his main Pokémon, Lin Xuan feels that even if his "poisonous prediction" is powerful, it will probably be useless. After all, the difference in strength is too great. Zhong Mingyi's main Pokémon are all four-star, while the opponent's Pokémon seem to only have one that is close to four-star. If he really uses his full strength, it will be like bullying a child.

However, Zhong Mingyi confidently sent out Venusaur, and given his personality, once he sent it out, it was for training purposes, so he wouldn't just leave it out casually, even if he was at a disadvantage.

"When facing Zhong Mingyi's powerful Venusaur, the opponent chose to send out Camerupt! If it were a regular Venusaur, it would definitely have a hard time against Camerupt, especially a Venusaur with the Chlorophyll ability."

"To trigger the Chlorophyll ability, you need a sunny day, but when a sunny day is activated, the power of the opponent's Fire-type moves will also increase. So it's hard to say who the sunny day will be for... But!" Lin Xuan said this long sentence in one breath, took a short breath, and continued to add.

"But this is Zhong Mingyi's Venusaur. How can it be the same as a regular Venusaur? Of course not! The moment our great Zhong Mingyi saw the opponent's Camerupt, he must have already prepared a countermeasure in his mind. There will be no suspense whatsoever in this match!"

Stop breastfeeding! Stop breastfeeding!

I see it now, this is premeditated revenge!

[Won't this actually jinx Xiao Zhong?]

[It's unlikely that he'll die from being jinxed. Given Xiao Zhong's consistently steady approach, the remaining Pokémon will undoubtedly be his strongest main force. But as for Venusaur...]

Let us pray for Venusaur! May Arceus bless him.

May Phoenix King protect him.

May Lugia bless you.

……

For some reason, Lin Xuan's live stream turned into a large-scale blessing ceremony. People who didn't know better might have thought it was a pyramid scheme if they clicked in.

Camerupt's type is Fire and Ground, which is a pretty good combination. Its weaknesses are Water and Ground types.

Venusaur doesn't know any Water-type moves, unless it's raining and Venusaur uses Weather Ball. But Venusaur does know Ground-type moves, and two very strong ones at that: Earthquake (physical attack) and Earth Power (special attack).

"You can see that our player Xiao Zhong is very steady! He used Leech Seed directly to try to restrict the opponent's movements. It was a very deliberate... well, a decision made after careful consideration."

"But the Leech Seed move is relatively easy to burn away when facing Fire-type Pokémon. Sure enough, the Leech Seed was burned to ashes before it could even be used."

"But does it matter? Venusaur used Earthquake directly. The Leech Seed from before was just a smokescreen. And this Earthquake seems to be a combination of Earth Power and Earth Force, instantly defeating Camerupt! Tsk, congratulations to our Xiao Zhong for taking the first small victory~"

What's with all this regret?

[Mimi-Oki-sensei, your resentment is seeping through the screen!]

The Mimikyu used a curse, but it's not working well for now.

Chapter 48 Garbage Wings

"Alright, now the competition has entered the tense and exciting second stage. Facing the powerful Venusaur of our great Zhong Mingyi, what Pokémon will the opponent send out to deal with it? Oh, it's a Kaibutsu!"

"From the perspective of Pokémon species alone, the two Pokémon should be evenly matched, since there is no type advantage or disadvantage. However, Hitmonchan can learn moves like Ice Punch and Fire Punch, and its ability is very likely Iron Fist, making it more likely to pose a threat to Venusaur. But once Camerupt is defeated, Venusaur can safely use its Chlorophyll ability."

Although he wouldn't forget about the incident with Zhongmingyi, Lin Xuan was still quite dedicated as a commentator. He first gave a general overview of the two Pokémon's situations. However, this kind of introduction is mostly useful when the two Pokémon are of similar strength, but Zhongmingyi's Venusaur was clearly a level stronger than Hitmonchan.

"Given such a significant difference in strength, once Venusaur gets going with its speed, this match will be decided without even the slightest suspense!"

Mimikyu used a double attack.

Although what he said was true, there was always an ominous feeling when these words came from the mouth of Teacher Mimikyu.

[If it were any other player of average skill, they would have been instantly killed by Mimikyu's jinx. Xiao Zhong is just incredibly lucky!]

[Mimimitaki: Damn, why can't I heal anymore?]

Zhong Mingyi's opponent at this moment clearly understood that he could not win this match, and had the same idea as Zhong Mingyi's previous opponents - at least to defeat one Venusaur!

Driven by this do-or-die mentality, Quick-Punch Man launched a relentless and ferocious attack as soon as he entered the ring.

"Fast Fist Bro is coming on strong! He's using a Flame Fist in his left hand and an Ice Fist in his right, he's got real skills! If you're so capable, Zhong Mingyi, go report me to the League!"

"But Venusaur's defense was even more formidable. It used Petal Dance, a powerful Grass-type move, to perfectly protect itself and even charged directly at Hitmonchan's face. You should know that although Petal Dance deals special damage, it is actually a melee move. As everyone knows, melee mages are invincible!"

"The Petal Dance will confuse the Pokémon after it is used, which is understandable. After all, a bunch of petals are spinning around you, and you will get dizzy after a while. However, for a player like Zhong Mingyi, he will definitely be able to overcome such difficulties."

Many high-powered skills in the game have their flaws. For example, skills like Destruction Ray and Explosive Flame can cause Pokémon to become stunned. While it's not entirely impossible to eliminate the side effects of such skills in reality, it is still very difficult.

After all, in a duel between experts, a brief moment of stun can determine the outcome.

However, there are also skills with fewer side effects, such as Reverse Scale and Petal Dance, which will cause you to fall into a state of confusion, but these side effects can be reduced or even eliminated through training.

As for the side effects of moves like Fire Blast and Hydro Pump... it probably depends less on the Pokémon and more on the trainer, the difference between lucky and unlucky players.

"Would Fast Fist Bro chicken out a bit in the face of this kind of defense? No! He didn't! He just went straight for it, punching through the petal dance! Fast Fist Bro declared: 'I'll fight you to the death!'"

"Ahem, just a friendly reminder: this kind of tactic that tries to hurt yourself a lot should be used with caution, or you might end up in a scene where you're courting death."

How dare they do that?!

Is this a fixed match?

New viewers might still be confused, but veteran viewers are already looking forward to it.

【Mr. Mimikyu, how about we take a short break?】

Lin Xuan scoffed at the attempts to dissuade him from the comments section. At this point, he was being told to stop? That was impossible!

"It's difficult for Kaikou to even break through the defensive barrier formed by Petal Dance. Even if he manages to break through and land two punches on Venusaur, it's unlikely to cause any truly fatal damage, unless! His two punches can cause additional effects. Even burns are unlikely to work; it has to be freezing. But is that possible? The possibility is extremely small!"

Lin Xuan said the last few words almost through gritted teeth.

Unfortunately, Lin Xuan's cursed attack had no chance of taking effect, because Venusaur didn't let Hitmonchan get close at all. Hitmonchan had barely managed to break through the barrier of Petal Dance, despite being seriously injured, and was about to reach Venusaur.

But at that moment, Venusaur stretched out two vines and pushed off the ground, quickly retreating to avoid all the attacks.

Zhong Ming originally planned to have Venusaur take the punch by force, so that Petal Dance could take down Kaihou directly.

But just before he made that decision, a premonition seemed to tell him that if he let Fast Fist hit him, something bad might happen...

Venusaur chose a steady approach, leaving Hitmonchan with no chance. After Venusaur created distance, Hitmonchan finished it off with an Energy Ball.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it!" Lin Xuan said with some regret. Zhong Mingyi was too cowardly and didn't give him any chance at all. In that situation, taking a punch directly and then finishing him off with the aftershock would have been the fastest way to fight.

[Xiao Zhong is so sneaky, I love it!]

【Well done! 】

[Fast Fist: I suddenly felt a force... Damn, it suddenly disappeared?]

[Teacher Mimikyu tried his best, but Quick Fist Bro was so disappointing that he couldn't even touch him.]

[I'd already prepared soda and sunflower seeds, and this is it?]

Meanwhile, in the center of the Imperial Capital Arena, Zhong Ming's opponent sighed. Although he knew he would lose, he didn't expect to lose so badly. Both of his Pokémon fell down without even touching Venusaur.

But he took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, and pulled out his last Poké Ball. After all, a player who had made it this far was no ordinary person. This was his trump card; he was going all out!

"Go! Arrowhawk!"

Garbage Wings?

When Lin Xuan saw this Pokémon, he almost blurted out its nickname. After all, for him, a Pokémon player from his previous life, this Pokémon was extremely famous.

At the beginning, Galewing's strength was comparable to that of the former top-tier Mega Kangaskhan, but it was precisely because of this initial strong performance that Game Freak (GF) gave both of these Pokémon a major nerf in Generation VII.

If Mega Kangaskhan was slashed from the sky to the ground, Talonflame was slashed from the sky to the ground, and then shoveled down on it to prevent it from crawling out. Finally, a tombstone was planted on it, and all that could be seen were four big words written on it: Trash Wings!

Chapter 49 Has the Situation Changed?

However, the real-world Arrowhawk is still very strong. After all, the reason why Gale Wings became trash wings is that the original flight-type skill priority of +1 has been changed to only take effect when the user is at full health.

And to make a joke, Talonflame's Attack stat is even lower than that of a defensive Pokémon like Amoonguss.

However, the effect of Gale Wings in reality is always present and does not have the special restrictions that exist in the game.

Think about why skills like Lightning Strike and Divine Speed ​​are so powerful in real life, and then think about the additional effects of Gale Wings, and you should understand how terrifying this feature is.

"The last one is Talonflame? This Pokémon is relatively rare in China, but it is very strong with its Gale Wing ability. In my opinion, Gale Wing is not much weaker than Huge Power."
