Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Because he can make the Poké Ball fly out and then fly back, it's so cool!

Lin Xuan fell in love with the design when he saw it—although he doesn't really need it anymore.

But think about it carefully, how cool would it be to be able to throw a Poké Ball directly during a battle?

But in reality, the cooler you look when you throw a Poké Ball, the more pathetic you are when you retrieve it.

However, this new product perfectly solved the problem. Lin Xuan just bought one to try it out, and it looked pretty good, though it was a little pricey.

After the Poké Ball was thrown, it landed on the ground and instantly released Machamp. It bounced slightly on the ground before flying back into Lin Xuan's hand, where he caught it firmly.

"Oh! Senior brother, where did you buy that Poké Ball?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan became even more smug!

"Hmph! Pretty cool, right? But you can't buy it right now. If you actually get approved, I'll give you one."

Xiao Dian, who was standing nearby, knew that Lin Xuan had gotten cocky again when he heard this.

But then Xiao Dian put herself in Lin Xuan's shoes and thought, "Oh no, even Xiao Dian thinks he looks really cool."

Although it might have one more zero than a regular Poké Ball, the thought of it made Xiaodian feel a little heartbroken.

How many tree fruits could you buy with this extra money? I can just throw them back to you later, right?

"Mmmmmmm!"

Xiaoxi nodded immediately after hearing this. She also thought that this way of catching the ball was incredibly cool. Even if it wasn't for entering the Jinhui Gym, she would definitely pass the test just for this one Poké Ball!

"Alright, let's begin. You can attack freely from now on until I say stop."

This kind of assessment is obviously not just a simple battle; the main purpose is to see how far the opponent can bring out the strength of their Pokémon.

When Xiaoxi's Squirtle appeared, Lin Xuan took a look at it and saw that it was developing quite well, and then... that was it.

However, it's considered pretty good among novice trainers.

Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised by what happened next.

Although this Squirtle was indeed far less powerful than Machamp, it was still able to hold its own under the opponent's command.

Of course, this was under the condition that Lin Xuan was not serious. He basically let the Machoke fight on its own. If Lin Xuan had been in command, it would have been defeated long ago.

Even so, it's still quite remarkable, considering the significant difference in strength between the two Pokémon.

However, in the end, due to the huge gap in strength, even with good command skills, they still lost.

Lin Xuan nodded to herself as she watched this scene.

I think that barring any unforeseen circumstances, this girl should be able to secure a spot.

"Not bad, next one."

"Huh? Is that all?"

"What else do you want? Don't you even look around? They've already finished two of their tests! I'm trying to catch up!"

Lin Xuan shrugged helplessly, but in reality, even such a short time was enough for him.

However, just as the other person was about to leave, Lin Xuan called her back.

"Wait, this is for you."

As Lin Xuan spoke, she took out a Poké Ball from her bag and threw it over, but not to battle, because the Poké Ball was empty.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Xiaoxi happily told Lin Xuan, then took the Poké Ball and ran out, seemingly less socially awkward than she had initially appeared.

But for some reason, Lin Xuan felt that this little girl hadn't understood what he meant. What he wanted to express was that she had been accepted!

Her happiness seemed solely for that Poké Ball.

Lin Xuan quickly made a judgment in her mind: this was a natural airhead, somewhat like Bai Yao, but perhaps even more naive.

Yes, she's more likable than Senior Sister Bai Yao.

"Ah!"

Bai Yao sneezed, then looked out the window. There hadn't been any wind! And with my physique, how could I possibly catch a cold?

Bai Yao was somewhat puzzled, and just then, the examinee standing not far ahead also asked:

"Um, so what if I say..."

"Go back and wait for news."

Bai Yao waved her hand casually, but her words now basically meant there was no hope.

Soon, it was seven o'clock in the evening. Lin Xuan and the others only took a break of about half an hour to eat and use the restroom. They spent most of the time here.

Even Bai Yao and Liu Quan found it hard to bear.

"Senior Sister Bai Yao, was it because of this that you stayed at my place and wouldn't leave before?"

Lin Xuan slumped weakly onto the table and said, while Bai Yao casually replied:

"A little, but mainly I completely forgot about the assessment time before I came back, which was a huge mistake!"

Just then, Liu Quan cast a resentful glance at him.

"You two have the nerve to say that? Lin Xuan is one thing, he really didn't know, but you just abandoned us and left. Do you know how tired I was during the last assessment?"

"Ahem, isn't this a case of the capable doing more work, senior brother?"

Even Bai Yao, whose skin was as thick as Lin Xuan's, felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject:

"So, have you found any good apprentices today?"

"There are two pretty good ones here."

Lin Xuan answered directly, one of them must be Xiao Xi, and the other one came later but performed well, so Lin Xuan felt that she still had a good chance.

"I have one here."

"I am here too."

Bai Yao and Liu Quan's words made Lin Xuan begin to doubt himself.

"Are my standards too low?"

"That's not low. I saw you assessing those two kids; they performed really well, especially the girl..."

It was unclear what Liu Quan was thinking, but he quickly turned to look at Bai Yao and then said:

"I always feel that we are a bit like each other, a kind of clear-headed stupidity, but with different focuses."

Lin Xuan swore that he definitely didn't tell this story to his senior brother Liu Quan; it was just that great minds think alike.

Bai Yao was taken aback for a moment, seemingly trying to figure out what the sentence meant, but she quickly realized what it meant.

That's an insult! She just kicked him right away!

Caught off guard, Lin Xuan was kicked away and then looked at Bai Yao with an innocent expression.

"Why did you kick me?"

"Do you even need to think about it? You clearly taught me to say that!"

This is a frame-up! Although Lin Xuan did think this way, she never said it out loud!

Lin Xuan expressed her innocence, but unfortunately Bai Yao didn't believe her at all.

However, even if they worked non-stop from morning till night, the three of them could only complete less than half of the tests.

There was no other way. Although Lin Xuan and his team were trying their best to save time, they still needed time to see the results of the recombined Pokémon if they wanted to learn something from them.

Several minutes passed in a flash. If each person stayed for more than a few minutes, Lin Xuan and the others simply couldn't take it anymore.

"So, this situation will take another two days?"

"Pretty much, isn't it all because of you?"

Previously, the number of apprentices enrolled at Jinhui Taekwondo Academy was far less than this!

However, there are also advantages. The quality of the recent batches of apprentices is significantly better than that of the previous ones.

Even for Jinhui Taekwondo Academy, this is a good thing.

Lin Xuan sighed and then went back to rest. She never expected that she would be squeezed for her remaining value in the last few days before she was about to leave. Was there any justice in this world?

Although it was quite interesting at first, it started to get boring after a while, but Lin Xuan still had to force herself to stay alert.

If Lin Xuan weren't worried about being scolded by Luo Guan, she would have even considered having Ibrahimovic come up to take her place.

But putting everything else aside, Bai Yao will definitely report this. Why is she working so hard here while Lin Xuan is just slacking off?

But soon, three days had passed.

Lin Xuan selected five in total, while Bai Yao and Liu Quan each selected two.

The three of them discussed it... You should know that the cameras were still on during this period, just for their later review.

So after discussion, they still selected the final five spots. Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, at least the Poké Ball he had given away earlier wasn't a mistake.

Xiaoxi's performance was indeed good. Lin Xuan felt that even if she didn't come to Jinhui Dojo, it would be a simple matter for her to go to a place like Imperial University.

So you're leaving again?
