Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Did you all see the look in the Arrowhawk's eyes? The Arrowhawk charged forward! The Arrowhawk used Brave Bird Attack! The Arrowhawk also used Flame Charge, the Arrowhawk is reckless! The Arrowhawk... is going to die."

Lin Xuan's words came to an end at the climax, and at this moment, the sea hare looked at the arrow eagle lying in front of it with some doubt in its eyes.

This stupid bird, didn't it just know it had the Primal Power skill? Why is it still trying to rush upwards?

He just used Primal Power to knock down the Arrow Eagle, and while it was lying on the ground, he used Earth Power. And then... naturally, it was a one-hit kill. What's there to say?

[Two moves and he was done for. What's there to say?]

That fell... a bit too fast!

[So, could this be considered off-field assistance from Mimikyu-sensei?]

[I get it now, every time Mimikyu-sensei says that, the other side is in trouble.]

[It always ends at the climax...it's a bit unsatisfying!]

"Ahem, let's see what Pokémon the opposing player will use next!"

Lin Xuan said, also taking the opportunity to thank those who had given him gifts. Although he no longer makes a living from live streaming, it's a habit he's developed over time, and there's nothing wrong with continuing it. Besides, this kind of commentary is beneficial for Lin Xuan, allowing him to better understand the matches and strategies.

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Sometimes, it's helpful to observe from an outsider's perspective so that when you get involved, you'll know better what to do.

Therefore, Lin Xuan often says things not only to the audience, but also to herself.

"And the next Pokémon on the other side... Raptor! The second-best Pokémon in the universe!"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up immediately. She hadn't expected to see this Pokémon here. After all, Raptor is mostly found in the Galar region and is rarely seen in China.

"Thanks to the Universe's Number One Speaker Krillin for the SC -- [So what is the Universe's Number One Pokémon?] It doesn't matter what the Universe's Number One Pokémon is... at least it won't be Krillin. Let's evolve it a bit more before we come back to it."

[A speaker-wielding hero? I laughed so hard. He can call himself a hero?]

[Feels inferior to Dolphin Hero]

[The number one in the universe is definitely Roaring Tiger! Tiger Gate!]

In a battle between Sea Gastrodon and Thunder King Kong, Sea Gastrodon would be at a significant disadvantage.

"Water and Ground is a pretty good type combination... provided you don't encounter Grass-type Pokémon, otherwise, with a four-fold super weakness, even a god would have a hard time dealing with it!"

However, Song Chen doesn't seem to have any plans to exchange Pokémon. It's worth noting that in the knockout stage, although the number of Pokémon that can be exchanged is limited, there are still three exchanges allowed. So, in many situations, when facing such an extremely disadvantageous matchup, many people will still choose to exchange Pokémon.

Song Chen did have other Pokémon he could have switched to later, such as Togepi, which would have been enough to deal with Raptor, but he didn't do so.

"It seems Brother Strength is quite confident in his Sea Gastrodon!"

Lin Xuan nodded and said.

"And as soon as the Thunder King Kong came up, the ground beneath its feet instantly turned into a grassy field. It's obvious that this Thunder King Kong has the Grass Creator ability, which is quite terrifying!"

The only other Pokémon that can create and own grass is Tapu Bulu, a legendary Pokémon.

As for other Pokémon with Terrain Abilities, they are all a bit inferior to Raptor. Indeedee is pretty good and has many uses, especially Mama Inspector. Recently, it seems that researchers discovered Mama Inspector in the wild that can learn Trick Room, which instantly shocked the whole world.

It's important to know that the two types of Love Servant have different strengths. The female Love Servant can learn "Look at Me," while the male Love Servant can learn "Trick Room." In addition, the female Love Servant has greater durability, while the male Love Servant is more focused on output.

But upon closer inspection, it became clear that the servant, Gong Ai, seemed a little... superfluous.

After all, I can do what you can do, but I can also do what you can't do. Who can I complain to about that?

However, it's unclear how this magical space technique was learned, and it's not even hereditary. Even offspring born to the mother cannot learn it, causing a lot of researchers to rack their brains. As for this matter, Lin Xuan only has one sentence—"f**K GF" (a vulgar expression).

See that? That's Kapoor!

【Kapoo Gorilla!】

So, Brother Might isn't going to change his Pokémon?

See that? That's what confidence is!

"Thunder King Kong used Sword Dance without hesitation! Once it's used, its power doubles, and with the added power from the Grassland, it could probably wipe out Gastrodon in one hit with a Grass Slide!"

It can only be said that the combination of grass slide and grass slide is too terrible, so much so that even MooMoo can't learn to slide on grass, and Tapu Koko can't learn to ascend on electric surfaces. It can only be said that it is the malice of the GF that is causing this.

"And Gastrodon used Ice Beam directly, but not on Rumble Golem, but on the ground beneath its feet!"

In the blink of an eye, the field that was originally covered with grass instantly froze and was covered by a layer of ice. If it weren't for the memory of what just happened, Lin Xuan would have suspected that the two of them had changed to an ice-themed field.

There are many different venues to choose from in the league, but generally no one chooses them and the default venue is used.

However, this area can be transformed into a water-based arena in an instant if needed by the players.

After all, some Pokémon can only battle in water, so it wouldn't be fair if they could only fight on land.

Take Goldeen, for example. If you let it come ashore, it would probably be defeated in no time if it were a Pokémon of average strength, let alone in a battle.

Therefore, as long as the player has reported to the league in advance, they can directly call up special venues when releasing such Pokémon, such as raising a pool on the spot. This is all possible.

The scene had now turned into an ice surface, which to some extent prevented Thunder King Kong's powerful attack. After all, in this environment, it would be good enough if he could even use his skills normally, let alone use the grass slide.

But since Thunder King Kong had already used his sword dance skill, Lin Xuan was still a little worried.

Even without grassland, if Thunder King Kong could hit the Sea Gastrodon with a single wooden mallet shot, it would instantly kill it; there was no other possibility.

"The current situation is still a bit bad for Brother Guai Li. I feel that it's not a good thing to just let the Thunder King Kong Sword Dance run wild like this."

Lin Xuan spoke directly to those around her, and many question marks appeared in the comments section.

[But under these circumstances, it wouldn't be easy for Thunder King Kong to attack Gastrodon, would it?]

[It's already a miracle if you can walk on this ice; even if you wanted to use a skill to break through the ice and get across, it would take some time.]

Lin Xuan simply shook her head at these words.

"Have you ever considered that, to deal with the Sea Gastrodon, Thunder King Kong might not even need to move?"

As soon as Lin Xuan said this, even the speed at which the comments appeared slowed down, and soon the situation on the live broadcast confirmed Lin Xuan's statement.

Thunder King Kong simply stood still, then pounded the large drum in his hand.

"Drumming! This is Thunder King Kong's exclusive skill. Even if he stands still, he can make the surrounding plants grow by relying on the special frequency transmitted by drumming. In other words, he can threaten Sea Gastrodon even if he just stands still."

It was obvious that Song Chen didn't know much about the Thunder King Kong Ape because he hadn't fought many of them before, and much of what he knew was just theoretical and he hadn't put it into practice. That's why he had forgotten about it for a moment.

Otherwise, a typical Grass-type Pokémon would probably either have to clumsily break through the ice to rush up, or use a move like Razor Leaf, which would be much less efficient.

In an instant, numerous thick vines sprouted from around the Sea Gastrodon, shattering the ice surface and lashing out at it. The Sea Gastrodon's movements were incredibly fast; it quickly dodged, and a vine lashing towards it was blocked by its Ice Beam.

However, even so, it was somewhat beyond saving. After all, Gastrodon is not a Pokémon known for its agility. In such a wide-ranging attack, it was quickly hit and instantly flew backwards not far away.

"However, there is a downside to Thunder King Kong doing this: he can't move anymore, making him a sitting duck."

Sure enough, at the same time that the Sea Gastrodon was sent flying backward, a beam of icy light flew from its mouth toward the Thunder King Kong. The Thunder King Kong wanted to dodge but had no idea where to hide, so it could only grit its teeth and slide off the ice.

With a large drum in one hand and a drumstick in the other, it slid directly onto the ice, but not very fast. It was soon hit by the sea hare's ice light, and bits of ice appeared on its body.

The two Pokémon fought fiercely, but unfortunately, Song Chen's initial mistake put him at a disadvantage. So, although Raptor was seriously injured, he didn't fall down, while Gastrodon was the first to fall.

So Lin Xuan sighed and said:

"Brother Guai Li made a mistake at the beginning, otherwise we should have been able to replace him."

However, this is not Song Chen's fault; he has fought Thunder King Kong too few times.

After Gastrodon, Song Chen immediately sent out his Togekiss, and after that... it was like a child beating his younger brother, sweeping aside the three Pokémon on the other side, excluding Raptor, before being taken down by Lapras's Perish Song.

Is this an airplane?

If it weren't for the Song of Destruction, I think I would have just wiped out the entire team.

It's a pity we won't be able to see Brother Guai Li's incredible strength anymore.

Chapter 413 Predetermined Champion

Even this Lapras was able to forcibly drag Togekiss away using the two moves, Whirlwind and Death Song, mainly because Togekiss had expended a lot of stamina in the previous battle. Otherwise, with such a large difference in strength, using Death Song wouldn't have been so easy to take it down.

Even if Song Chen eventually used Perish Song to take away Togekiss, it would be meaningless, because Song Chen still had four Pokémon left to use, and even his strongest Pokémon, Machamp, hadn't been used yet. As for the opposing player, he only had one left.

"Unless the last Pokémon on the other side is strong enough to take on four opponents at once and can also defeat Machamp, then there's no chance."

Lin Xuan shook his head, after all, at this point there was basically no need to continue the battle.

However, the opponent seemed to maintain a strong fighting spirit and wanted to fight until the very last moment of the match, so in the end they sent out a powerful Aggron.

"This Aggron... is strong, but useless. My assessment is that it can't withstand a punch from Machamp."

Lin Xuan shook his head. Before Mega Evolution, Aggron is a troublesome Rock and Steel type Pokémon, four times weak to Fighting and Ground. Only after Mega Evolution will it become a pure Steel type.

Generally speaking, combining two types into a single type should be a weakening, but that's definitely not the case for Aggron. He'd rather give up the Rock type than lose those two four-fold weaknesses.

After all, the Mega Evolution of Aggron has a filtering ability that reduces the damage of super-effective moves, making the already tanky Aggron even harder to break through.

Finally, Song Chen's strength kicked in, and without saying a word, he unleashed a Burst Punch, sending Aggron flying. Even with its high Defense stat, it was clearly unable to withstand such an attack and instantly lost its ability to battle.

Unfortunately, although I witnessed superhuman strength, I only managed to throw one punch.

[Four times the restraint is deadly!]

Even without the four-times multiplier, I should still be able to win.

The strength of that Aggron was probably similar to that of the previous Rumble Gorilla and Laplace, or even weaker, so it was no match for it.

Lin Xuan quickly finished watching Song Chen's match, followed by Bai Yao and Liu Quan's. Cheng Si's match had already taken place in the morning, and she won very smoothly without any suspense.

The matches between Bai Yao and Liu Quan were similar, with no surprises. Their opponents were not particularly strong, as the rankings were based on the results of the main tournament.
