Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Chapter 73 The Fairy Who Brings Happiness

We understand, but we won't tell anyone.

[You even know the prices, and you still say you didn't collect bottles?]

I propose we crowdfund bottles for Teacher Mimiqiu.

"I just used to collect, pshaw! Sell recyclables!" Lin Xuan's lips twitched. Before he went to university, there was a recycling center right at the back gate of his family's apartment complex. Because it was close by, his family would keep things like waste paper from deliveries and aluminum cans. This was one of his important sources of pocket money when he was a child.

"Alright, alright, the match has started, get ready to commentate!" Lin Xuan was overjoyed to see the match start on the official website and immediately said to the viewers in the live stream.

We want to hear the anchor's story of collecting bottles!

[Who comes here to listen to the explanation? Aren't they all here to listen to stand-up comedy? (doge)]

"Ahem, getting back to the main topic, the round of 64 to 32 will still be in 3V3 format, with each side only able to send out 3 Pokémon. It won't be until the semifinals that it will become a more intense 6V6 battle, which will put the trainers' skills to the test even more." Lin Xuan said in the live stream, trying to change the subject and also reminding viewers who might not know.

"Alright, the match is now officially starting. Our team's Pokémon is—Blissey? Wow, such a dirty Pokémon right from the start?"

Lin Xuan was also taken aback when Blissey entered the arena. Was she going to unleash a powerful move right from the start? After all, Blissey has always been a controversial Pokémon in competitive matches.

Disgusting tactics like laying eggs, shrinking, using poison, and throwing on Earth are not something Lin Xuan, a transmigrator, needs to teach. They have already been developed by a group of tactical geniuses. In doubles matches, you can even see the dreaded switching of positions.

It was an elf that was filthy beyond belief.

It's just that Chansey and Blissey are unique Pokémon that rarely appear outside of Pokémon Centers, so many people think of them as cute pink and white Pokémon.

But anyone who follows competitive battles should know how dirty this Pokémon is.

Why do such adorable Pokémon have so many disgusting skills?

Thank you, but I've already started experiencing physical discomfort.

Who would have thought that this stuff, once cut open, would be even blacker than shoddy cotton?

"As for the Pokémon the other side sent out... Charizard, it's not that it can't be fought, but it depends on whether Charizard has the move Dragon Dive, after all, Dragon Dive is... Okay, the opponent has chosen to switch."

Interrupt spellcasting

[Mimicho: Can't they even let us finish our lines?]

[As long as I switch characters before Mimikyu-sensei finishes her jinx, I won't be affected by the jinx!]

"The opposing player switched to Snorlax, which is quite effective against Blissey. Firstly, almost all Snorlaxes have Body Slam, which counters the Shrink move. Secondly, Snorlax's ability might be immunity, preventing it from getting poisoned."

"And even if it's not immune, you can just lie down and sleep when you're poisoned. Most of Blissey's poison isn't that terrifying, and you can sleep it off... If there's any downside, it's that Snorlax is a bit of a sleepy Pokémon, and sometimes even the trainer can't wake it up. You have to be careful that it doesn't wake up."

Snorlax is so fluffy, it would be so comfortable to use as a cushion!

What kind of ruthless person would dare to sleep with a Snorlax?

I tried it in my past life, it was very comfortable, especially the feeling of Snorlax on top of me, it made me sleep very peacefully.

It's quite comfortable, but it's a bit too physically demanding.

I tried it twenty years ago, and I'm eighteen now.

"However, our player with Blissey didn't choose to trade Pokémon. Instead, they stubbornly used the Toxic move. I bet your ability isn't Immunity! Okay, it is Immunity..."

A cloud of poisonous mist appeared in Cheese Egg's hands and headed towards Snorlax. Despite being the kindest Pokémon, it always seems to use this kind of move during battles.

However, Snorlax didn't even flinch at the Blissey's poison. It simply stood still and charged up, completely ignoring the poison when it touched Snorlax.

Clearly, this Snorlax's ability is immunity.

Is it possible that this Snorlax's original ability wasn't Immunity, but became Immunity simply because of Mimikyu's words?

Schrödinger's immunity, right?

[What era are we living in that people are still talking about traditional Schrödinger's cat? This is immunity to Mimicry!]

"The current situation is a bit dangerous for Blissey. After all, although Blissey also has attack moves, regardless of how powerful Blissey's attack is, Snorlax has increased its defense."

It seems that because Chansey is peaceful and gentle, her offensive capabilities are not strong. Although Brock's Chansey in the anime has terrifying strength, that can only be attributed to genetic mutation. After all, Ash's Pikachu can beat Arceus, so what is impossible?

"But Blissey went straight for Focus Blast! Oh my god! Ugh, I'll fight you to the death! Generally, Blissey's tactics are the dirty tricks, but today's opponent is incredibly aggressive, coming straight for the Fighting-type powerhouse Focus Blast! And with Snorlax's rather bulky body, it probably won't be able to dodge it. Let me take a sip of water first~"

I'll take a sip too.

I want to drink Teacher Mimi's saliva too!

[Hey everyone, stop arguing!]

"This contestant's choice is admirable and very courageous, but as for the possible outcome... the future is promising! Yes, the future is promising~"

While Blissey's Special Attack isn't particularly bad, it's definitely not strong either. Even if this Blissey has undergone special training, due to its species limitations, it's ultimately difficult to compare with Pokémon like Lucario.

Not to mention that Snorlax is a Pokémon known for its Special Defense.

As expected, when faced with Blissey's approach, Snorlax chose to stand still, showing no fear whatsoever, and instead opted to unleash another charged attack.

"This Snorlax is incredibly greedy, but in this situation, its greed is clearly very meaningful."

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, they saw Lucky Egg directly blast Snorlax with a Spirit Bomb. What followed was a scene that left Lin Xuan and the viewers in the live stream dumbfounded.

Snorlax was blasted away by Blissey's Aura Blast. After a moment of silence, Lin Xuan continued to speak.

"Ahem, this teaches us something: don't have preconceived notions when facing a Pokémon. How could we have imagined that a Blissey would be blasted away by a Focus Blast?"

Chapter 74 Whispering

It's almost impossible for a Blissey to knock out a Snorlax with a single Focus Blast in the game, given Blissey's species, it's generally not used as a primary damage dealer.

But reality isn't a novel. While naturally powerful elves like Xiao Gang are rare in this world, they do exist. The sheer number of elves means there will always be exceptions.

This Lucky Egg seems to be a special case. To everyone's astonishment, it used a Focus Blast to send Snorlax flying. Snorlax's huge body flew backward until it crashed into the outer wall of the battlefield before coming to a stop.

"Wait, let me check the information on the official website~" Lin Xuan said, switching the page to the introduction of Cheese Egg on the official website of the Chinese Pokémon League and highlighting that paragraph in red.

"Blissey has a kind nature and is full of love. It is a Pokémon that can bring happiness... Hiss, such a heavy love."

Wait, you call this a lucky egg?

Is this the legendary fairy that brings happiness? I love it!

So please be polite when you're at the Pokémon Center, or you might get punched to death.

[The young mind of Teacher Mimi was deeply affected.]

In later episodes, Lin Xuan and the others witnessed incredible scenes of Blissey killing Charizard with lightning and Tropius with blizzard.

"Tropical dragon, as the name suggests, is a dragon that lives in the tropics. It's reasonable that it can't stand the cold air currents of blizzards. Hmm, very reasonable."

Lin Xuan had seen scenes of using a lucky egg to defeat three enemies at once, but this was the first time he had ever seen a game level pass by so violently. It was like a game level that required you to hit a monster here and press a button there to pass the level, but you just used a bug to fly through the sky.

This reminded Lin Xuan of the time when she played Pokémon battles and Pelipper was defeated by Tyranitar's Thunder.

In fact, when this Blissey punched Snorlax away, Lin Xuan realized that the Blissey's trainer was definitely not an ordinary person, and the Blissey's strength was also extraordinary.

The unique nature of the Lucky Egg, coupled with some inside information about the Royal Dragon Clan that Zhong Mingyi had recently told him, made Lin Xuan wonder if there was a Miss Joey Clan in the real world as well.

Or perhaps it's something similar, and this guy is some kind of direct descendant of a family. Although the style is a bit strange, it doesn't seem impossible.

Lin Xuan wanted to ask Zhong Ming, but he figured the competition was about to start and he wouldn't have time to reply, so Lin Xuan decided to ask him later when he had more time.

"Alright, now we've finally arrived at the part we've been most looking forward to: our great contestant, Xiao Zhong. Let's see how he wins. As for the time before the match starts, let's give everyone a moment to recover from the shock."

I can't say who was frightened.

[Looking for an excuse to slack off, huh?]

"Thank you, Happy Egg, for killing my captain with one punch! Boss, you're so generous! Boss, may you live forever! Boss, may you live forever!"

Lin Xuan thanked everyone for the gifts as she searched for Xiao Zhong's next match room.

【? ? ? 】

[You changed your name a bit too quickly.]

When were the lines changed?

Congratulations to the boss on winning over Teacher Mimikyu for her first time!

[Just wondering, is this how the phrase "immortal" is used?]

[If Teacher Mimikyu says it's okay, then it's okay!]

"Dan dan dan!"

"Boy!"

Just as Lin Xuan was about to take a break, Xiao Dian flew in carrying a game console, followed closely by Yi Bu.

[Small spot!!]

[Ibu!!]

[Male viewers, please move aside, thank you]

When Tiny and Eevee appeared, the previously enthusiastic audience suddenly became disgusted with Lin Xuan and only wanted Tiny and Eevee.

"Aren't you guys playing a game?" Lin Xuan had barely finished speaking when he saw Xiao Dian holding a game console, practically shoving it right in his face.

"Dandan!"

This game!
