Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

As the red light of the Poké Ball flashed, a Serperior suddenly appeared on the field.

The Monarch Serpent has yellow markings on its body, befitting its name, like the noble crests of royalty. Two curled vines near its neck resemble the collar and cuffs of a suit. Its eyes are the color of rubies, giving it an air of nobility and majesty.

"If this Serperior's ability is Contrarian, it might have a slight chance of causing some trouble for its opponent. This player is a bit unlucky. If it were a weaker opponent, it would have a much better chance of advancing!" Lin Xuan sighed.

"Actually, the Contrarian trait isn't as powerful as many people imagine, because it requires moves like Leaf Storm, Close Combat, Meteor Shower, and Superpower to actively trigger. If you just give it to any Pokémon, the effect might even be negative, since it can't use any stat-boosting moves. And if it doesn't have the moves mentioned above... the streamer's assessment is that it's not as good as Intimidate."

In games, contradicting others can have a deterrent effect, but in reality, where do you find so many roaring tigers to intimidate you?

They'll bluff you back, reduce your attack power, and then inflict confusion.

"It's like contradicting an Arbok; it doesn't have a single useful skill, and it can't even use its Scroll skill. If such a Pokémon really existed, it would definitely be a forsaken one!"

Chapter 64 Watch closely, I am the earth dragon!

"For example, if we contradict our little one, it seems to do nothing except make him even more disobedient... But it also seems to do something. If our little one is disobedient, can't I justifiably punish him by making him eat rice bowls, saving me the cost of one... several meals!"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up; it seemed that was the case.

【? ? ? 】

【Is this some kind of entrapment operation?】

Are you even human?!

[Little one, did you hear me, little one!]

【Reported! Reported! 】

Lin Xuan glanced outside the room. It seemed that Xiao Dian had gone to the bathroom to take a shower after coming back from outside. There was still the sound of water. He probably didn't hear what he had just said.

However, while part of what he said was a joke, the first part was quite serious. Powerful characteristics only become powerful when there is a suitable carrier... except for bugs like the Magic Guardian.

Even if you gave Caterpie a superhuman strength, nobody would know how to use it!

"Alright, the match begins. Serperior is facing Flygon, which has powerfully defeated its two teammates. Wow! It immediately chose Leaf Storm! It seems my guess was right, this Serperior must have the Contrarian ability."

A powerful airflow, accompanied by blade-like flying leaves, swept towards the Desert Dragonfly, while a pale green energy enveloped the Serpent Lord.

"The Contrarian ability activated! Watch my Serperior unleash Leaf Storm three times! Today, I'm going to defy fate! Meanwhile, Flygon used Dig to dodge the initial Leaf Storm! Let me reiterate, Flygon is the only Pokémon that isn't afraid of thunder when flying and isn't afraid of earthquakes when digging." Lin Xuan said, as if remembering something.

[The ground-based system is immune to lightning; it floats underground and is not afraid of earthquakes.]

[Hilarious, it's true!]

[Desert Dragonfly: What a real earth dragon I am! (Tactical lean back)]

"Although this dig helped Serperior avoid the first Leaf Storm, the initial Leaf Storm was the weakest. The power of the subsequent Leaf Storms will become more and more terrifying. This is the terrifying thing about Serperior, which is a contrarian Pokémon. Moreover, this guy is a snake-type Pokémon. As we all know, snake-type Pokémon all have several Dragon-type moves. For example, Serperior knows Dragon Pulse!"

"While the desert dragonfly is digging its burrow, you can see that the monarch snake is also very lonely and restless. After all, the monarch snake can learn powerful enhancement skills such as self-motivation, meditation, and coiling, but it can't use them all because of the rebellious nature of the snake. You can only say that you can't have everything." Lin Xuan sighed.

However, after a brief pause, Serperior quickly launched a plowing attack on the ground, partly to continue strengthening itself and partly to prepare for the appearance of Flygon.

"In this situation, if a desert dragonfly dares to show its head, it will be pushed back down like a whack-a-mole."

[Groundhog: ???]

The groundhog is furious.

[Groundhog: First of all, I haven't provoked any of you.]

"At times like these, it tests the Pokémon's own judgment. After all, with Flygon underground and Leaf Storm above, the trainer's voice can't reach the Pokémon's ears at all, except for those psychic-type Pokémon. But for trainers, mastering timing is an essential skill."

In reality, as Pokémon become stronger, the role of a normal trainer gradually diminishes, and they will generally only give Pokémon commands at crucial moments.

The Desert Dragonfly remained hidden underground until the moment Serperior's Leaf Storm stopped, at which point it seized the opportunity and emerged from beneath Serperior.

The Monarch Serpent's face showed horror. He never expected the Desert Dragonfly to be in the ground beneath him. He had been on high alert ever since the Desert Dragonfly burrowed in, but its underground movement was too fast and too stealthy.

"The Flygon chose this perfect moment to emerge from under Serperior's foot... oops! its tail, to trick me! To ambush me! Serperior, I just used a move? Is this okay? This is not okay, and the Flygon that flew out even used Fire Punch, which is super effective against Serperior! It's simply unsportsmanlike!"

"Thanks to the SC from Palmtop Arcanine - [Will this Serperior use Lightning Whip?] Ahem, Serperior says it values ​​peace and won't fight amongst itself, so it won't show off this ultimate move."

Serpentis was stunned by the sudden appearance of Flygon, and was severely injured when it was hit by a Fire Punch.

Although Serperior had not completely lost its ability to fight, Lin Xuan could tell that the match was not far from over. He stroked his chin and asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"Seriously, can a desert dragonfly really make a fist with those tiny claws? If it can, why can't we Dorombalto learn it? Aren't my Dorombalto claws even longer than yours?"

【? ? ? 】

[Doraki: Believe it or not, I'll scratch you to death with one claw!]

[If that's the case, then the smaller ones actually have bigger claws!]

Why can't the Electric Flying Squirrel learn Fire Punch?! Protest!

Just then, Xiao Dian, wearing a small bath towel, hopped out of the bathroom. She hopped into the air and turned off the bathroom light. She was about to sit on the sofa to comfortably eat some snacks and watch some dramas when she vaguely heard Lin Xuan mention her. Curious, she went over to her.

"No, no, no." Lin Xuan shook her head. "With his small build, can you imagine him clenching his tiny fists and throwing punches at someone? Tsk, the image is too beautiful to imagine~"

"Dandan!"

Snap, snap, snap!

Little Dot came running over, its eyes blazing, and jumped onto Lin Xuan's head in an instant.

"Dandan!"

[They're spreading rumors about me again!!]

"Hey, hey, hey? Aren't you still taking a shower?" Lin Xuan pulled Xiao Dian off her head and put her on the table. Xiao Dian was standing with her hands on her hips, looking at her.

(*￣︿￣)

Caught red-handed

[Hey! It's him! He's been talking badly about you!]

Let's wish Teacher Mi Niqiu a life filled with dreams and a wonderful future!

Everyone has their own dreams, and each person's life is unique and wonderful.

……

"I'm comparing you to Dragapult. What kind of Pokémon is Dragapult? It's a pseudo-legendary! I'm praising your potential!" Lin Xuan explained seriously.

"Dandan~"

If it were when Xiao Dian first came to Lin Xuan's house, she might have really been fooled. So, as the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company," and Xiao Dian has become much more shrewd under Lin Xuan's influence.

"One of those Supreme Pizzas."

"Dandan!"

【make a deal! 】

Little Dot's eyes lit up as he stretched out his tiny paws into the air. Lin Xuan could only give him a high five with no other option. This guy was getting smarter and smarter. It must be because his trainer was too clever.

[So you've already bribed him?]

[Little one! How did you get bribed with just a slice of pizza?]

[Boring! I want to see rivers of blood!]

Chapter 65 It moved!

As Lin Xuan and Xiao Dian reached a settlement, the match in the live broadcast also officially ended. Although Serperior didn't fall directly to Flygon's Flame Punch, it even tried to turn around and use Dragon Pulse to counterattack.

Keep in mind that this is Serperior after using Leaf Storm twice, so the power of its Dragon Pulse should not be underestimated.

However, the Desert Dragonfly that came in front of Serpentis completely ignored all of this, and even grabbed Serpentis’s mouth with its claws and pressed it to the ground. The Dragon Pulse energy that was about to surge out exploded in Serpentis’s mouth.

Although a considerable amount of energy was also released into the desert dragonfly, he seemed completely unconcerned, and the splashed attacks hit the desert dragonfly like raindrops.

"That's too brutal!"

Seeing the last one, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh, then turned to Xiao Dian and said.

"See? Don't follow his example. Good children don't fight."

Xiaodian: ? ? ? Who dragged him to the competition in the first place?

"Thank you Zhong Mingyi for being a handsome guy - [What does Mimikyu-sensei think of this desert dragonfly?]" Lin Xuan paused to think for a moment after seeing Zhong Mingyi's comment.

"I don't know why, but this Flygon gives me a very special feeling. If I had to say... maybe it's related to its Dragon type? It feels like this Flygon has more of a Dragon-type feel than any other Dragon-type Pokémon I've seen in this competition. That domineering nature unique to the Dragon type is fully embodied in this Flygon."

"No tactics are needed, it's all about one word—strength! The best way to deal with this kind of Pokémon is pure overwhelming power... I believe this shouldn't be a problem for our Xiao Zhong, right?"

Lin Xuan chuckled. "So what if they're strong? The stronger the contestants, the more interesting the game will be, and the more exciting his commentary will be. That'll lead to more... cough cough, presenting a more exciting commentary for the audience is the primary goal!"

Zhong Mingyi is a very handsome guy: [???]

[Caught off guard]

[A direct dose of toxicity is doubly effective]

[Xiao Zhong: Don't come any closer!]

Just as Lin Xuan was preparing to continue commentating on the next match, he received a message from Zhong Mingyi on his phone.

Zhong Mingyi is a handsome guy: I'm watching the game live right now!

Lin Xuan: You actually went to the scene?!
