Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Could that skill really exist?"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched, and at the same time, Gallade rushed forward and slashed at Blastoise with a Leaf Blade.

"I think you're referring to this skill."

After Lin Xuan spoke, Qin Guan echoed her words, and at the same time, black smoke began to rise from Blastoise's body, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

This black mist was very thin and did not obstruct vision, but it possessed a special power. Gallade's power, which it had enhanced with Swords Dance, vanished instantly under the black mist.

Furthermore, it should be clarified that the black mist does not weaken the Pokémon's abilities; it simply restores all of the Pokémon's abilities to their most normal state. Even a Pokémon with a Cleanse cannot stop it, making it a nightmare for any team that tries to boost its power.

"hiss!"

Ultimately, it was punished; this Blastoise really did master the Black Mist skill.

"You're not targeting me specifically, are you?"

Lin Xuan cast a suspicious glance at Qin Guan, after all, there weren't many Blastoises that could control the black mist; it was something that required genetic inheritance.

"How is that possible?"

Qin Guan spoke righteously, and Lin Xuan felt that the scene before her was strangely familiar.

Are these two really fighting?

Why are all the battles so hilarious?

The image of the president in my mind has begun to crumble.

[Just a heads-up, the president was the previous headmaster of Jin Hui Dojo, so he's Master Mimikyu's grandmaster—]

Wow, it seems like birds of a feather flock together.

Evil people will eventually be punished by other evil people.

However, the black mist wasn't entirely bad news. Lin Xuan had been on guard against Blastoise's skill—shell hatching!

At the cost of significantly reduced defense, output and speed are greatly enhanced across the board.

It's important to know that Blastoise wouldn't rank among the top Mega Evolved Pokémon if it were just about having a Mega Launcher. After all, it's a single Water-type Pokémon, and the only Water-type Pulse-type move it can master is Water Pulse.

But once it hatches, things change drastically; the output becomes devastating.

With the help of the Super Launcher, moves like Dark Pulse and Aura Sphere can enjoy near-STAB-type bonuses, greatly expanding Blastoise's coverage.

However, in this situation, the Blastoise is unlikely to hatch.

After all, hatching comes at a price, and the Black Mist is ruthless. Even if you hatch, Gallade will still use Sword Dance. You might not be able to kill Gallade with one shot, but Gallade's sword strike will definitely cripple you.

Blastoise's attacks were quite sharp; even Gallade couldn't get close to it in a short time. But at this moment, Qin Guan's face showed a hint of boredom.

"That's enough! Go all out!"

"Well, you said it, so I won't stand on ceremony!"

Lin Xuan had been waiting for Qin Guan to say that, so he rolled up his sleeves and instantly unleashed a powerful aura towards Gallade, making Qin Guan's eyes widen in surprise.

"I'm telling you to have your Gallade use Teleport, and you just use Aura?"

"You mean all your strength!"

After activating its Aura, Gallade's power surged once again. Its body vanished from its original spot and reappeared behind Blastoise, unleashing a Leaf Blade without holding back.

[As expected of Teacher Mimikyu]

Nothing has changed.

[But didn't the president himself say that?]

[These two fighting... I'd love to see more of them! Isn't this way much better than any comedy sketch?]

【agree! 】

But just as Gallade's Leaf Blade struck Blastoise, Gallade discovered a problem—why is it so tough?

Blastoise was naturally sent flying by the blade, but just as the leaf blade was about to hit, a special force enveloped Blastoise's body, greatly reducing the effect of the leaf blade.

Lin Xuan looked at Qin Guan with a question mark appearing on her head.

"what is this?"

"The power of waveguides".

Qin Guan spoke directly, but was met with a glare from Lin Xuan.

"Do you think I'm as gullible as Bai Yao?"

Bai Yao: ? ? ?

Bai Yao, who was peacefully enjoying his melon seeds, was suddenly called out. He stopped eating them and immediately bit them into pieces. He vowed to teach Lin Xuan a lesson after the match.

It's no wonder Lin Xuan said that. Lin Xuan knew that although Qin Guan also had a special power, it wasn't the power of aura. Besides, how could he not be familiar with the power of aura? Although there were some similar characteristics, this one in front of him was definitely not it!

"I said yes, so it is. Don't worry, I won't bully you. I'll just use the same level as you."

Qin Guan said with a smile, and at this moment Lin Xuan also noticed that the power wave on Qin Guan's body was indeed very similar to the power of wave, but—there was a very strange feeling, which could be described as a sense of holiness.

This was the first time Lin Xuan had felt this power at such close range, and for a moment, a guess formed in his mind—

Super power?

Chapter 405 One Strike Decides the Outcome

Lin Xuan didn't know much about the Superpower, only that this ability allowed him to communicate with Pokémon—but basically all special abilities can do that, right?

But apart from that, Lin Xuan didn't know much more about it, because it appeared very few times in the original work, only in the anime, and its function was only to communicate with Pokémon. However, the benefit was that it could calm Pokémon's emotions and even affect legendary Pokémon, but—it seems to be a little different.

After all, the power of overcoming obstacles is nothing like the power that Qin Guan is showing right now.

Qin Guan simply smiled and remained silent in response to Lin Xuan's question. Seeing Qin Guan's reaction, Lin Xuan didn't press the matter further, deciding to finish the match first and then ask about it later.

It couldn't possibly be the wave-guiding power Qin Guan mentioned; it must be something much more powerful.

Blastoise was hit by Gallade's Leaf Blade, but thanks to Qin Guan's power and its own strong defense, it was injured but not fatal.

Blastoise used this force to propel its massive body forward, with a surge of water behind it accelerating it, but this speed was meaningless against Gallade.

Gallade teleported to Blastoise's side again and unleashed another Leaf Blade. However, Blastoise seemed to be prepared, raising its arm to block the attack. The armor on its arm blocked Gallade's strongest attack.

However, Blastoise's strength was clearly no match for Gallade's. Just as it was about to give up, the cannons on its arm once again fired powerful jets of water at Gallade.

Gallade's body disappeared from Blastoise's front again and reappeared on the other side.

But just like before, Blastoise always seemed to be able to completely predict Gallade's movements and defend itself.

Lin Xuan looked up at Qin Guan opposite her and knew that this was not Blastoise's judgment, but Qin Guan's.

Although he was standing there seemingly doing nothing, he was probably using his special ability to communicate with Blastoise, just like Lin Xuan.

"Don't these two talk during their fight?"

After being caught in the crossfire by Lin Xuan, Bai Yao started eating sunflower seeds again. The collision between Gallade and Blastoise was extremely intense, but the two of them seemed to be completely detached from it, not saying a word.

"Trying to act like an expert by not saying a word, huh?"

Bai Yao complained, while Song Chen, standing to the side, also had doubts.

"Lin Xuan has Aura power and can communicate with Gallade—how did the Guild Master do that? Does he really have Aura power?"

"Hmm~"

Bai Yao shook her head at Song Chen's suspicions.

"Master definitely doesn't have Aura power, because my teacher told me that Master was the first gym leader in the history of Jin Hui Dojo without Aura power, but—maybe he has other abilities?"

"These ability users are like weeds, growing one crop after another."

Long Xing complained. Although his dragon-controlling skills were still relatively immature, he did sense something unusual from Qin Guan when Blastoise defended against Gallade's attack.

It's indescribable, but that's the feeling I have.

Gallade and Blastoise were locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand, which gave Lin Xuan a bit of a headache.

Under Qin Guan's guidance, this Blastoise was truly like an invincible giant turtle, constantly on the defensive while putting pressure on Gallade.

Once Gallade stops its attack, there's no doubt that Blastoise's Hydro Pump will come straight to it.

As for wearing down Blastoise—don't be ridiculous. Gallade might be able to, but Lin Xuan's Aura power can't withstand that...

In such a short period of time, he felt that his wave guide power had been greatly depleted, and if this continued, he would definitely collapse.

Why do I always feel like I'm such a useless trainer in battles?

Lin Xuan was quite distressed, while Blastoise seemed to be preparing to launch a counterattack.

Behind them, a giant water cannon blasted a huge water ball into the air, instantly covering the entire arena with dark clouds, and soon a heavy rain began to fall.

You call this praying for rain?

Are you sure it wasn't blasted out?

[The method of using excessive force to induce rain is perfectly reasonable.]

However, the falling rain did not affect the audience, because except for the area around the battlefield, a protective shield rose up in other places just before the rain fell, and several sword-shield monsters also emerged from some unknown corner.

Using their abilities to shield against the rain is indeed a bit of an overkill.
