Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. This didn't seem too good. The Blastoise's already powerful offensive capabilities would be further enhanced in the rain.

Lin Xuan pondered for a while and had some ideas, but on the surface she remained calm. However, before starting, she gave Qin Guan a somewhat suspicious look—

With such powerful abilities, would this guy come here to eavesdrop on my conversation with Gallade?

Just as Lin Xuan was thinking this, Qin Guan glanced at him with a smile on his face, but the more he looked, the more ill-intentioned he seemed.

Lin Xuan's lips twitched. She still felt that even if her advisor was a bit strange, he shouldn't be this eccentric. If he was, there was basically no point in continuing the battle.

Lin Xuan instructed Gallade to continue the attack. Having used Teleport multiple times before, Gallade now used its speed to rapidly charge towards Blastoise.

Blastoise fired three powerful jets of water from its back and arms, but Gallade dodged them all.

Gallade leaped upwards, but Blastoise, as if anticipating its movements, released a Water Pulse, and Gallade—

With a single slash, Gallade's arm was enveloped in a large amount of water, which appeared even more powerful in the rain, directly splitting Water Pulse in two.

"Water Ripple Blade? Pretty good, huh?"

Qin Guan watched this scene and muttered to himself that Lin Xuan was using the rain to counter Blastoise's attack, using its own strength against it.

After severing a water column, Gallade reappeared behind Blastoise and threw a punch. Blastoise defended as before, but—

"Ok?"

Gallade moved so fast that it landed its attack between Blastoise's arm and body before Blastoise could even raise its arm.

"Feint?"

Gallade did not choose to continue its strong attack as before, but instead used a feint to break Blastoise's defense.

Although the feint attack wasn't very powerful, Blastoise was still momentarily confused after being hit by Gallade's attack. Then, it raised its other arm and unleashed a Dark Pulse at Gallade, but Gallade's Holy Sword cut through the Dark Pulse along with it, striking Blastoise directly.

This time, Blastoise wasn't as carefree as before. It was slashed and flew all the way to the edge of the battlefield before barely stopping. However, Gallade didn't come away without paying a price, since the Dark Pulse had exploded in front of it.

However, Gallade is clearly in much better condition than Blastoise.

However, Gallade did not dare to rest after that. It still used Teleport and took advantage of Blastoise's shell being broken to press its advantage. It launched another Swords Dance followed by Leaf Blade.

Gallade can safely use Swords Dance in close combat, since even if Blastoise wants to use Hide to remove the effect of Swords Dance, it will take some time, which is enough time for Gallade to maximize its output.

However, Blastoise can't avoid using Haze. Even if Gallade doesn't have the Holy Sword, Leaf Blade has a very high critical hit rate, so Blastoise's Iron Defense is completely ineffective. Blastoise's choice is—

"Broken shell?"

Song Chen and the others watching from the sidelines were stunned by what they saw. Why would Blastoise choose to hatch at this time?

Gallade has already come to the front, isn't hatching at this point just giving away free kills?

"Did the advisor go easy on me?"

"That's impossible, the president isn't that kind of person, so—"

A large number of white cracks instantly appeared on Blastoise's shell. Although these were not real cracks, they weakened Blastoise's originally powerful defense to a minimum. However, in return, Blastoise gained speed and power that surpassed Gallade.

Blastoise's physical attack isn't low, it's just not outstanding. If Gallade hadn't used Swords Dance after hatching, it might not have been a match for it in terms of power.

Although Lin Xuan didn't know why Qin Guan did this, she wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. Let it be a trap or a pitfall; at least in Lin Xuan's opinion, even if it was a trap, it was worth stepping into.

Sure enough, when Gallade came in front of Blastoise and slashed down, Blastoise's actions changed completely. Instead of raising its arm and aiming the cannon at Gallade as before, it used Water Slash!

Blastoise's fists collided directly with Gallade's, using offense as defense to compensate for its weakened defenses that had been reduced to the bottom of the valley.

[The president is...very confident in himself!]

【Why do you say that? 】

[Breaking out at this time is to raise one's power to a level that can barely contend with Gallade, and with the rain, it's also possible to get a chance to fight back.]

However, we can't afford to make any mistakes, otherwise, if we're caught off guard and get ambushed, given Blastoise's current defense—

【Understood! 】

Lin Xuan was also somewhat troubled. Even if Lin Xuan himself were to make this decision, it would be very difficult. It was too much of a test for both the Pokémon and the trainer, and there was no room for error.

However, a smile quickly appeared on Lin Xuan's lips. It had to be his advisor. He hadn't encountered such a formidable opponent in a long time. He could only wait and see whether he would give up first or Blastoise would make a mistake first!

In the rain, Blastoise's strength was barely enough to contend with Gallade, but only barely. So, Blastoise quickly lowered its body, aimed its cannon at its back, and fired the already prepared water cannon. As for Gallade—

I'm going to play a big game with you!

The thought crossed Lin Xuan's mind, and then Gallade, without the slightest hesitation, charged straight at the Hydro Pump.

Thought hammer!

The psychic hammer instantly shattered the water cannon, then the broken water cannon slammed into Blastoise's head, nearly giving it a concussion.

This scene surprised not only everyone else, but even Qin Guan. Lin Xuan was even bolder than he had imagined! He dared to use the Mind Hammer like that?

The Psychic Hammer attack just now almost gave Blastoise a concussion, but Gallade was nearly the same. Both Pokémon retreated, feeling somewhat dizzy.

Gallade essentially took a hit with its head from a water cannon.

Wow, that's ruthless!

These two—no wonder they're from Jinhui Dojo! They're both ruthless!

That headbutt would probably cause a concussion.

However, while Qin Guan was somewhat surprised, he also glanced at Lin Xuan and quickly understood why Lin Xuan had chosen to do this.

"What's wrong? Can't hold on anymore? Your stamina isn't quite up to par!"

Before Qin Guan could say any of this, the officials had already cut off both of their microphones. These two guys really don't treat us like outsiders when they talk, especially the guild leader!

Can't you speak with a little more manners? You've been the president for so many years and haven't shown your face in public. Can't you maintain some mystery?

【? ? ? 】

Why is there no sound?

[I think I saw the president's mouth move?]

Based on the preceding text, I don't think what the president said was anything good.

These two are absolutely amazing!

I like this student council president!

However, while the audience likes Lin Xuan, they don't really like her.

What do you mean it doesn't last? It's been almost ten minutes already, you've done a great job of holding on for that long, haven't you?

Lin Xuan glanced at the situation on the field. Blastoise looked worse off. Although it had taken an attack from both sides, Blastoise's physical defense was reduced by 2, making it much worse off than Gallade.

Lin Xuan sensed the remaining wave power within his body and knew that if he continued, he would probably not be able to hold on any longer, so he made a decision.

Let's decide the outcome with one decisive blow!

Lin Xuan channeled all the energy into Gallade, causing Gallade's aura to surge. Qin Guan immediately saw through what Lin Xuan was trying to do.

"Then I'll come too?"

As he spoke, Qin Guan chuckled and scratched his head, instantly transforming his aura. Lin Xuan immediately spoke up.

"It's a promise, you can't use more power than I do!"

"Am I the kind of person who doesn't keep his word? If I say I won't exceed the limit, I absolutely won't."

As Qin Guan spoke, the terrifying aura emanating from him dissipated, leaving only a portion behind, while he continued to mutter to himself.

"I haven't used it in a long time, I almost lost control."

At this moment, the two Pokémon on the field, Gallade and Blastoise, raised their Sacred Sword and lifted the giant cannon behind them, all their power converging together.

Chapter 406 Not a big problem

A huge phantom of a holy sword instantly appeared above Gallade's body. This was not unfamiliar to Bai Yao; in fact, it was quite familiar. After all, Lin Xuan had defeated her with this before, and now that Gallade had Mega Evolution, its strength was even greater than before.

However, on Blastoise's side, countless streams of water converged from the air toward the giant cannon behind him, changing the direction of the falling raindrops. For a moment, Lin Xuan seemed unable to feel the raindrops falling, as they were all sucked away by Blastoise.

Gallade's move was a sudden, unparalleled holy sword strike, followed closely by Blastoise's water cannon. But Lin Xuan noticed something—Blastoise had canceled its Mega Evolution.

【? ? ? 】

Is it possible to revert to this evolution?

[Is it still capable of free evolution and degeneration?]

[But why regress? Isn't it stronger after Mega Evolution?]

I think the only possibility is that this Blastoise's ability is Turbulence!

That's right, Qin Guan's Blastoise has the ability Torrent. In its current state, the power of its Water-type moves will be greatly increased, even more so than the power increase brought by Mega Evolution.

As for defensive capabilities—are they still needed now?

In this situation, you just need to concentrate all your strength. There's no point in thinking about defense; it's meaningless since Blastoise's defense is practically negative after hatching.

"It's definitely stronger now."

Lin Xuan glanced at Blastoise, which had de-evolved. He didn't believe that Qin Guan couldn't support Blastoise's Mega Evolution, so the only possibility was that he had deliberately de-evolved.

The Super Launcher's characteristics are still somewhat awkward, since it can't enhance the Water Cannon skill, and even if Water Pulse's power is increased, it's still far inferior to the Water Cannon, let alone the current one—Water Cannon!

Although the turrets behind it have changed from one to two and are no longer as thick as before, Blastoise now exudes a special light blue energy, which is its Torrent ability.
