Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Dandan!"

The powerful flames and electricity instantly engulfed the space between the two.

It's difficult to determine a winner on Moltres' side in the short term. Basically, how long Lin Xuan can stall depends on how long Moltres can hold off Gardevoir.

So all Lin Xuan can do now is to restrain Karini as much as possible. If he can defeat her Pokémon, that would be the best outcome.

This might be difficult for other champions, because their Pokémon are likely to be more balanced in strength. However, apart from Gardevoir, Karini's other Pokémon are slightly weaker, which makes Lin Xuan feel that she is not without a chance.

The sudden burst of power from Xiaodian startled even Karuni, mainly because the power Xiaodian unleashed had, in a way, already possessed a legendary quality.

In a more fantastical way, it might be described as a near-legendary figure?

However, Xiao Dian can only achieve this level of damage when using his ultimate skill. Lin Xuan is confident that even Gardevoir from Karune would not be able to escape unscathed from this attack.

Of course, in this environment, Lin Xuan would not let Xiao Dian do whatever she wanted without any reservations; she just used a censored version.

Fortunately, the smaller version of this power is more controllable, and Lin Xuan doesn't need to consume too much wave power, so she won't faint directly.

"Waveguide power?"

Karuni frowned slightly. She had noticed Lin Xuan's special abilities long ago, but only now did she realize that it was actually the power of wave guidance.

While there are exceptions, shouldn't most waveguide users be kind-hearted people? Could this one be an exception?

The conditions for awakening the power of waveguides are very special, and even the conditions of the awakener are generally quite special.

But Lin Xuan is probably going to be excluded from Karuni's mind.

Upon witnessing this scene, Gardevoir, who was initially dominating Moltres, could no longer stand still. Originally, she wanted to suppress Moltres as much as possible and then break through, but now it seemed that she could not do so.

Because of this small attack, none of Karen's Pokémon could block it except herself!

And Lin Xuan's target this time... seems to be Karuni!

Of course, this is from Gardevoir's perspective, and Lin Xuan has been a clear villain since her appearance, so isn't it normal for her to attack trainers?

But in reality, Lin Xuan couldn't actually throw the attack at Karune; it was just a feint, the main purpose of which was to attract Gardevoir's attention.

As expected, Moltres followed Giovanni closely and displayed remarkable combat prowess, unleashing a powerful barrage the moment Gardevoir was distracted by Karune.

Gardevoir reacted quickly and tried to dodge, but was still hit. Even with its psychic powers mitigating the damage, it was still injured.

But she now knows she can't continue this stalemate with the firebird, or Karuni will be in danger!

Gardevoir's fairy energy overflowed from its body, transforming into countless rays of light that shone outwards—Magic Radiance!

Gardevoir's maximum magical shimmer, to some extent, depleted its stamina.

But it did work. He finally broke the vortex of flames that had been imprisoning him, and then used teleportation to get right between Lin Xuan and Karuni.

Loud sound!

Without the slightest hesitation, the powerful sonic waves carrying fairy energy collided with the thunderous explosion, causing the surrounding Pokémon to retreat, except for Moltres!

Unlike Lin Xuan, he had no intention of showing any mercy to Gardevoir and Karune.

He hadn't expected Lin Xuan to be so strong; it was a bit unexpected. Naturally, he had to seize the opportunity. The firebird flapped its wings and sped towards Karuni and the others, leaving scorched marks in the air.

In fact, this was indeed Gardevoir's most vulnerable moment. First, it forcefully broke through Moltres's flame vortex, and then hastily parried a small amount of Interlaced Flames and Interlaced Lightning. If it had faced Moltres's sudden attack at this moment—

"Stop!"

Lin Xuan spoke directly to the Firebird. From any perspective, Lin Xuan did not want anything to happen to Karuni. If it weren't for the stone tablet fragments, Lin Xuan would not want to be enemies with the Alliance.

Moltres hesitated for a moment, then turned and gave Lin Xuan a deep look. Although he didn’t know why Lin Xuan wanted him to do this, he was someone Sakaki had brought in after all… so he needed a reason.

"Carlos League Champion, what will the Carlos League do if something happens here? There's no need to create unnecessary trouble. Our goal is just the ultimate weapon; getting it is enough."

Lin Xuan used his Aura to speak to the Firebird. After thinking for a moment, the Firebird finally accepted Lin Xuan's statement, and Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy is easy to fool, while Karuni, who is not far away, is puzzled when she sees the firebird being stopped by the boy in front of her for some reason.

In that situation, I would most likely be fine, but Gardevoir and the others would probably be severely injured, which would put me at a great disadvantage.

Moreover, it's only a high probability that if the firebird's attack were any more intense, Karune wouldn't dare say she could emerge unscathed.

It can only be said that humans are far too fragile in the face of Pokémon's power; they are like dolls that break at the slightest touch.

"Well, as I said before, my job is to stall for time. I've already let you off the hook once. How about this, we stay here a little longer and then go our separate ways? Wouldn't that be better?"

Lin Xuan made the suggestion again. Because of what had happened before, Karuni knew that Lin Xuan wasn't saying these things to mock her, but... as the champion, she couldn't possibly do such a thing!

"I admit, I underestimated you a bit before."

Having lived a comfortable life for too long, they felt a sense of unease compared to the Kanto and Johto regions, where there were criminal organizations like Team Rocket.

The situation in Carlos is much calmer now, and even Team Flame hasn't revealed their intentions at this time.

Having grown accustomed to a peaceful life, Karuni was still somewhat troubled by this situation.

But at that very moment, another voice came from outside the research institute.

"Miss Karuni, don't worry, I'm here!"

Lin Xuan turned her head and saw that the other person was none other than Paqila, whom she had been looking for. She couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Because the timing is really unfortunate, it's a crucial moment, and Pachela's arrival will instantly reverse the balance of the battle.

However, Lin Xuan did not regret his decision. He could not possibly hurt Karuni; this was one of his principles.

Upon arriving, Pachelbel immediately released her main Pokémon, including a Flareon identical to one of Lysandre's, as well as Chandelure and others. All of them were extremely powerful.

If Lin Xuan were to face Pachela alone, he would absolutely not be afraid. With the help of the Firebird, he wouldn't back down even when facing Karune. But now that Pachela is added to the mix... Lin Xuan is definitely no match for her!

At this moment, the Moltres also gave Lin Xuan a somewhat resentful look.

See? This is all your doing. If you had just dealt with Karuni directly, things wouldn't have been so complicated.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Karuni refused, not for any other reason than that Lin Xuan's decision just now would seem unfair if Paqira were to intervene.

Pachela paused for a moment after hearing Karuni's words, but did not give Karuni time to say more. She pretended that she had misheard and ordered the Flame Lions to attack Lin Xuan.

"you……"

"Let's take this guy down first, Miss Karuni. Now is not the time to worry about these things!"

Seeing how things had developed, although he was somewhat unwilling, he ultimately agreed to Pachela's proposal.

Never mind, let's catch Lin Xuan first!

Although he felt a little guilty towards Lin Xuan, he could only apologize after he brought him to the alliance.

"Gardevoir, seal off this space first!"

Because she had Gardevoir as her main Pokémon, and she also saw that Lin Xuan was accompanied by a Gallade, she could immediately guess how Lin Xuan had entered in the first place.

It must also be through teleportation, so as long as teleportation is blocked, there's no need to worry about Lin Xuan escaping.

When Patricia saw this, a slight smile appeared on her lips. Yes, this was exactly what she wanted to see!

Vladali had told Lin Xuan about her situation not long ago, and that even this place was just a setup.

However, Lin Xuan's strength far exceeded the expectations of Vladari and Pachela, and even Karune almost suffered a setback.

It's important to know that Pachela is quite familiar with Karuni's strength; taking on two of her would be more than a matter of course, and could even be considered quite easy.

At the same time, she was also somewhat relieved that Lin Xuan hadn't brought the Moltres with her when she first came to the Vladari Institute, otherwise things would have been even more complicated.

But now—sorry, you have no choice but to obediently return to the Alliance with Karuni!

As for what happened here, Vladali had already made arrangements, and he had even fled!

Apart from him, no one knew that he had actually joined Team Flare long ago, and in any case, his identity was still very secure.

That's right, Vladali directly self-destructed with Lin Xuan this time. There was no other way, even though Lin Xuan had shown great strength before. As for now—Pachela seemed somewhat glad that Vladali made this decision.

Chapter 573 Escape

Pachela initially thought that Vladari was making a big fuss, since doing so would essentially mean abandoning Team Flare's important base in the Carlos region.

From then on, Team Flare was essentially officially in the League's sights, and it was virtually impossible for them to hide like before.

However, Pachela is now quite grateful that Vladali made this decision; otherwise, even if the three of them came together, they would most likely not be a match for Lin Xuan, who now has Moltres.

Unlike Pachela's relief, Lin Xuan was now having a bit of a headache, but he had managed to buy enough time, hadn't he?

Don't underestimate this short time. Giovanni's Alakazam can teleport instantly. Even if it's not as fast as Lin Xuan's Gallade, this amount of time is enough for it to travel a long distance.

At least it's unlikely that Karuni can catch up, since even Sakaki doesn't know which direction he teleported to, and even Lin Xuan doesn't know either. All they know is where they need to meet up at the end.

"It shouldn't crash, right?"

Lin Xuan muttered something under his breath, but he was still somewhat confident. At the same time, he turned his head and glanced at the firebird not far away.

The benefits of the Aura were evident at this moment; the instantaneous exchange between the two went unnoticed even by Karuni and the others.

The firebird hesitated for only a moment before nodding in agreement, which meant that Lin Xuan's strength had been recognized by the firebird.

"Eevee!"

Lin Xuan called out to Eevee, causing both Pachela and Karune to turn their attention to Eevee.

After all, the sudden burst of power from the small point just now made them wonder if Ibrahimovic also had such an ability.
