Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Countless clones instantly appeared around the rat. Unlike the shadow clones, these clones were all capable of fighting! And after appearing, they went straight for Gyarados.

This is bullying!

[I remember the Mimikyu family's clones—they all seemed to have combat abilities, right?]

Yes, it's terrifying.

The rat clones rushed directly towards Gyarados, using Rat Count instead of immediately using Great Cleanup.

The main reason is that these two guys know each other very well. One of them is a rat that knows how to do a big clean-up, but the other is a Gyarados that knows how to do Dragon Dance. Even if I use a big clean-up, the other one will just use Dragon Dance and it will be useless. I still need to find an opportunity to strengthen myself again.

Bai Yao and Zhong Mingyi, who were temporarily brought over by Lin Xuan to provide commentary, were no less knowledgeable about combat than Lin Xuan, and they also realized this.

"I didn't dare to boost either of my Pokémon, so I'll leave it like this~"

This demonstrates the power of the Dragon Dance and the Rat Dance.

So which Dragon-type Pokémon can't use Dragon Dance?

[Garuda: Why am I being mocked like this?]

However, although the clones of the rats looked impressive, Gyarados was not so easy to defeat. A powerful aura surrounded it, and its eyes revealed a bright red blood. It was Lin Xuan's Gyarados that was able to maintain its rationality in this "enraged" state. It would be difficult for any other Pokémon to do so.

This is all thanks to Suicune's help before; otherwise, even with Lin Xuan's Aura power, it would have been quite difficult to achieve this level.

Gyarados used Aqua Tail to wipe out most of the clones, but its gaze remained fixed on the rat's main body.

He knew very well that the attack just now was merely a test. A rat's clone wouldn't be so weak that he could easily swat it away with a single tail swipe.

On the other side, the three mice also became unusually serious. First was Xiaoxi, who did not summon clones directly, but rushed towards Gyarados on his own. Xiaomi did the same, but in a different direction. As for Xiaosu, in the blink of an eye, he burrowed underground.

Even many viewers in the live stream didn't see clearly when he went down, because it was only a blink of an eye. But Lin Xuan knew that this little guy took advantage of the moment when Xiao Xi Xiaomi rushed out and Gyarados's attention was drawn away.

It's not that Lin Xuan's observation skills have surpassed Gyarados's; there is still a gap between humans and Pokémon.

One reason is that Lin Xuan is now an observer and can see more. Another reason is that his Aura is still connected, allowing him to sense the thoughts of Gyarados and the family rat.

Lin Xuan just smiled at this. It seemed that the family of rats had underestimated Gyarados. Its mind was quite clear now, not as ferocious as it appeared.

Lin Xuan now even thinks this is a very good disguise. After all, most opponents would assume that Gyarados is in a very difficult state to control after seeing this, and based on this wrong judgment, they might make the wrong decision.

If they were in the commentary booth, Lin Xuan wouldn't mind bringing this up, for the same reason as before—he didn't care.

However, Bai Yao and Zhong Mingyi were unaware of this. They had fought Gyarados few times and only knew that Gyarados could maintain its rationality in such battles, but they didn't know anything more...

However, the presence of Bai Yao and Zhong Mingyi as commentators had one advantage: it made the commentary more objective.

When Lin Xuan provides commentary, he always adds a subjective touch. For example, when Xiaodian and Yibu were playing against each other, he harshly criticized the two bastards' usual behavior.

What? You're saying this has nothing to do with the competition? I'm just asking if you want to hear it or not?

The answer is yes. Many viewers in the live stream are quite interested in Lin Xuan and his team's daily life and matches, especially since it was Lin Xuan himself who said it.

Lin Xuan also embellished the story of how Ibrahimovic and his friends had given her "laxatives" before.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the malevolent aura surrounding Gyarados seemed to materialize. Lin Xuan realized that the rat and Gyarados were about to get serious, and their warm-up battle was over.

First, Gyarados had to face Xiaoxi's attack. Without hesitation, it used Water Tail, but as soon as it hit, it realized something was wrong. It was a clone!

It's unclear when Xiaoxi replaced her real body with a clone. The clone shattered the moment it was attacked, but it seemed like the cells multiplied, and after breaking apart, more clones formed around it.

Although Gyarados remained calm, its temper was actually more volatile than usual in this state. It didn't have a good solution for dealing with so many clones, so it could only use its tail to lash out again, just like before.

But after drawing the card this time, she felt something was wrong again. This power... Xiaoxi was sent flying by Gyarados's power.

The rats weren't particularly strong to begin with, let alone when facing a Gyarados, especially a Mega Gyarados.

However, Gyarados still felt a faint tearing pain on its tail, which was left by Xiaoxi. Although the special state after Mega Evolution can reduce the pain to some extent, it is not completely immune.

It wouldn't necessarily affect the battle, but it still gave Gyarados a bit of a scare.

It's been a while since I've battled against any of these rats. I didn't expect their strength to have improved so much, especially in such a strange place?

At that moment, Xiao Mi and Xiao Su emerged from mid-air and underground, respectively, launching a pincer attack on Gyarados.

At the same time, countless clones surged up.

"This kind of playing style is too shameless."

Even Zhong Mingyi was complaining, which made Bai Yao roll her eyes at him.

Your Slowking's ability to foresee the future is even more shameless, isn't it? Neither of you should criticize the other.

Thinking of this, Bai Yao couldn't help but feel a deep sadness and muttered something under her breath.

Why am I treated like a piece of trash?

However, Bai Yao seemed to have underestimated Lin Xuan's recording equipment. Although she spoke very softly, all the viewers in the live stream could still hear her, and they immediately started spamming the chat with comments.

[Hahahaha! Why is it so heartbreaking?]

[Family members, does anyone understand? We finally got second place, but there are two champions sitting next to us?]

[Senior Sister Bai Yao, please don't say that, otherwise we won't even be considered useless.]

However, although Bai Yao was just complaining about why it was Zhong Ming who said such things, it was actually quite reasonable.

This fighting method of the rats is indeed bizarre, but the more crucial point is—

"The fighting methods of the rat family seem to be somewhat effective against Gyarados."

After being ridiculed by the comments, Bai Yao quickly shared his insights: Gyarados's fighting style is the powerful, all-out kind, but Ikki is too agile and keeps using clones to avoid direct confrontation with Gyarados, making it the kind of opponent that power-type Pokémon hates to face.

And Gyarados's luck really wasn't that great.

"Yes, it feels like I have strength but can't use it."

A voice came from between Bai Yao and Zhong Mingyi, startling them both.

"Lie..."

Bai Yao was startled and was about to say something when Lin Xuan covered her mouth.

"Can you please be a little more considerate in the live stream?"

"Isn't it because you suddenly appeared? Weren't you supporting the battle over there?"

"I mainly came back because I figured something out."

"what's up?"

"I'm sitting here, and my aura isn't inaccessible. Why should I go over there?"

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and said that he had only just thought of this.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yao nodded in sudden understanding and said:

"That seems to be the case!"

Only Zhong Mingyi seemed to have anticipated this, looking at the two of them with an expression of utter disbelief. Lin Xuan quickly seemed to realize something and said:

"Have you thought of it a long time ago?"

Why is your mind working so fast right now?

"Hiss... I feel like I've caught some of Bai Yao's influence lately?"

After hearing Zhong Mingyi's words, Lin Xuan couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling that his brain was not working properly because he had been spending too much time with Bai Yao lately.

"What do you mean?"

Bai Yao was displeased when she heard Lin Xuan say that. Although I really hadn't thought of that—but no matter what, it's your own problem, right? How can you slander me?

"No, think about it. I didn't think about this when we were here, but once we got there, I kept my distance from you a little, and my mind cleared up... Let's continue watching the match."

Lin Xuan sensed the growing murderous intent in Bai Yao's eyes, and slowly sat down, not daring to utter a single word.

[Say it! Why did you stop talking?]

[Boring, I want to see a river of blood! 】

[Is the match almost over?]

That's right. Another reason Lin Xuan sat back down was that the battle was almost over, and the loser would be—Gyarados!

Gyarados had many wounds on its body. Although each wound seemed minor, when put together, they even revealed Gyarados's movements.

However, looking at the rats on the other side, although their stamina was severely depleted—after all, creating clones still consumes a lot of stamina, and those clones were lost too quickly in front of Gyarados—Lin Xuan knew that even with just that stamina, it would be enough to wear down Gyarados.

Sure enough, two minutes later, Gyarados also withdrew from Mega Evolution, panting heavily. If it wanted to, it could have continued to Mega Evolve and fight, but Lin Xuan stopped it directly.

"The competition is over. Players, please take a break!"

Lin Xuan glared at Gyarados and said that he knew Gyarados's personality. It was usually very easygoing, but once it entered battle mode, it would inexplicably become competitive, and it couldn't change that.

Just now, Lin Xuan wanted to end the battle, but Gyarados refused, feeling that he could still fight.

Then Lin Xuan forcibly cut it off.

The purpose of this battle was simply to let Lin Xuan better understand their strength and to let them have a better understanding of their partners. It would be terrible if they were left with any bad injuries.

So Lin Xuan spoke directly to Gyarados.

Gyarados was quite obedient to Lin Xuan, and quickly shrank its head, then felt a little guy appear on its head at some point—Little Millet.

"Su Su?"
