Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

His strength is indeed at the five-star level, but... it seems a little weaker?

How should I put it specifically? Lin Xuan has encountered many five-star Pokémon, including monstrous ones like Moltres and Kartana, as well as weaker ones like Steelix, but overall, they are all very strong, or rather, very solid.

Their strength comes from their own training; the minor uncontrollability is due to their overwhelming strength and cannot be used as a universal standard.

But this Gengar is different; its power is weak, as if it never belonged to it.

However, although Lin Xuan is a waveguide envoy and can sense more things, he is not actually there and his perception is limited, so his judgments may not be very reliable.

Although Lin Xuan frowned, she did not voice her thoughts.

He's a public figure now, so it's not good for him to say these things casually, but he still can't stop the confusion in his heart from growing.

Seeing his expression, no one said anything.

After all, Lin Xuan's performance on the show today was top-notch, and she's probably in a somewhat numb state.

After thanking everyone for the gifts, Lin Xuan left the live stream. As soon as she left, she received a call from Zhong Mingyi.

"You turned off your live stream, right?"

Zhong Mingyi seemed to want to confirm something, but what happened next was not something that could be discussed in public.

"It's off, so what?"

"That Gengar... seems to be something's wrong with it!"

"I know, I can feel it too."

Lin Xuan nodded; he simply hadn't said it directly earlier.

The average person might not notice it, but for people like Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi, who deal with people at this level almost every day, the problem is immediately apparent.

That Gengar's power is really weird.

"I could sense something was off, but it was Slowking who noticed it."

At this moment, Zhong Mingyi no longer cared about Lin Xuan tricking him out of 10,000 coins. He was watching the previous live stream, and Daidai Wang was also watching it out of boredom.

"Can Slowking sense where the problem lies?"

Zhong Mingyi's Slowking was quite different, so Lin Xuan wondered if he could spot anything amiss.

"No, but if we were there in person, we might be able to try."

Zhong Ming shook his head and said, "After all, there's only so much you can see through a screen."

Chapter 496 Nothing is Impossible

Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi only chatted briefly about the Gengar, but did not intend to delve into it further.

One reason is that even if they investigate further, they can't get to the bottom of it. The other person is a member of the United Alliance, while they could investigate someone from their own side.

Moreover, you can't see anything just by looking through a screen.

"Oh well, that's how it is. Anyway, the United Alliance isn't going to be a sitting duck, right? If there's any real problem, they'll definitely know."

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Mingyi spoke, and Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.

That makes sense, but the reliability of the United Alliance... well, whatever you think about it, this has nothing to do with them.

After finishing discussing the important matters, Zhong Mingyi's tone began to change, and the reason for this was undoubtedly due to what had happened earlier.

"You've got a sharp tongue! When did your ability to jinx someone become so strong? Do you know how long it took me to save up 10,000 coins!"

"Cough cough, who could know? That twelve consecutive cowering... it definitely has nothing to do with me. I think that Misdreavus definitely has a special training method. It has definitely been specially trained, and it just used it today!"

Lin Xuan said directly, but compared to the previous "poisonous milk" theory, this one is obviously more reliable.

Although Zhong Mingyi knew that Lin Xuan's "poisonous predictions" were very strong, to this extent was still a bit outrageous, and what Lin Xuan said also made a lot of sense.

But what does this have to do with him? All he wants to ask Lin Xuan right now is, what about my 10,000 coins! I only placed 10,000 coins because I trusted you!

However, before Zhong Mingyi could have the chance, Lin Xuan seemed to have anticipated that Zhong Mingyi would ask this question, and spoke directly.

"Alright, alright, it's almost time to go to sleep. My phone's out of battery, that's all for now!"

Before Zhong Ming could react, Lin Xuan hung up the phone.

"I!"

Zhong Mingyi was about to say something, but he lost his chance and could only stand there speechless, holding his phone.

But I've also decided that if they're unwilling to endure it online, then they should be prepared to be solo-killed by me offline!

The next day, Lin Xuan naturally rested at home, and the little ones also rested. Lin Xuan always felt that training should be done in moderation.

I spent a lot of time training and battling in the Ultimate World, so it's best to rest for a couple of days after I get back.

Yes, I need to rest too.

Unfortunately, by the third day, I couldn't rest anymore.

Because the third day is the final of the United States League Championship.

As for the two players facing off, they are Tom, who previously defeated Blissey with his incredible power, and Gengar, who has some issues.

"No matter how you look at it, the player with Gengar has a better chance of winning, after all, it's a five-star Pokémon."

Lin Xuan rested one hand on the table, waiting for the match to begin, and said casually.

Even if that Gengar might have some issues, it's still a five-star level Pokémon no matter what!

Of course, it's not without a chance, because apart from Gengar, his other Pokémon are relatively weak, to the point where they would be easily overwhelmed by Tom.

Even so, Lin Xuan still didn't think highly of Tom.

Unless she can pull off another miracle like yesterday, but Lin Xuan doesn't know what kind of miracle would be possible.

[Mimichiu-sensei, stop jinxing us! Can't we just watch a normal match?]

[Wrong! I love watching thrilling and exciting matches!]

[Mr. Qiu, how's today's quiz?]

Clearly, yesterday's guessing game had many people in stitches.

Buying the opposite of Lin Xuan's strategy can indeed lead to wealth! Although coins are not very useful, they are still good for showing off.

After all, this kind of thing is generally only available to super freeloaders and content creators.

Even for the average viewer, it's possible to not even spend a single coin a day.

"No, we'll just watch the game normally today."

Lin Xuan shook his head and said that his mindset today was indeed somewhat different from when he watched the semi-finals a couple of days ago.

Back then, I mainly watched it for the live commentary, just casually.

But there's another important task today: to observe that Gengar.

Logically speaking, if there really is a problem, it's not their place to solve it, but Lin Xuan and the others are very curious, so they made an appointment with Zhong Ming to watch the game together and see if they can find anything else.

The opponent in the last match seemed to have been caught off guard; Lin Xuan hadn't even seen what was happening before the match was over.

However, Tom had two days to prepare today, so he should have made some countermeasures.

Without the "poisonous milk" (a term used to describe unexpected predictions or predictions), it feels like something's missing!

[Exactly! Without jinxing, how would the show be entertaining?]

So when does today's match start?

Everyone had been waiting here for ten minutes, but the match still hadn't started as planned, which was, to some extent, a major incident.

The United Alliance quickly responded, saying there was a problem with the equipment, but it was fixed in no time, and soon the two players were standing on opposite sides of the battlefield.

"Okay, okay, the match has started, let's continue watching!"

Just as the match was about to begin and the referee's whistle was about to blow, the doorbell of Lin Xuan's house suddenly rang.

"At this point, who else is coming?"

Lin Xuan muttered something, but as if they had heard what Lin Xuan said, the person outside quickly replied.

Your takeout is here!

"Takeout? Ibrahimovic and the others ordered it? Seriously, ordering takeout at a time like this... it's not like we can't eat it."

Lin Xuan stood up and went to get the takeout. Given Yi Bu and Xiao Dian's personalities, they would probably still order barbecue.

But Lin Xuan suddenly thought of something—didn't this deliveryman's voice sound familiar?

In fact, it wasn't just him who noticed; even with some changes, some familiar people could still recognize it.

[That voice sounds familiar!]

I think I've heard of that before.

[Is this Xiao Zhong's voice?]

"No way, we can't possibly come at this time, can we?"

That's hard to say; they might also be coming here for a solo match offline.

Zhong Mingyi's U-shaped movement was obviously clumsy, because Lin Xuan had the power of wave guidance. As long as he got a little closer, Lin Xuan could sense his wave guidance and recognize him immediately.
