Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Remember to take good photos of me.

"Dandan!"

Make sure to include my cool wings in the photo!

"Stop being so vain and act normal, or I'll just upload a picture of you taking a shower."

Lin Xuan took out her phone and waved it. In the photo, the electric squirrel was standing under the showerhead in the bathtub, rinsing itself with water and wiping its yellow wing membranes with a towel. Although it was facing the camera from the side, you could still see that it was enjoying itself.

This was taken by Lin Xuan a couple of days ago when she had a chance to sneak a picture, and she never expected it to come in handy now.

"Dandan!"

【You're so despicable!】ヾ(≧へ≦)〃

The electric flying squirrel lunged to snatch the phone from Lin Xuan's hand, but it had already prepared for this before Lin Xuan even took out the phone to display the photos, so how could it possibly be taken away?

"Stand still and don't move, or you'll become famous in the next competition!"

The electric flying squirrel puffed out its cheeks, but in the end it could only submit to Lin Xuan's tyranny. Its two little hands were on its hips, and it had a very unhappy expression on its face. Its wing membranes were draped behind it like a cape.

Click~

"Okay, submit photos... register... sigh, haven't we already chosen a program yet?"

After clicking "Next," the phone displayed a message indicating successful registration. However, the problem is that the school organizes many competitions, aren't they categorized?

Or is it a unified registration? But that seems unlikely.

With this question in mind, Lin Xuan picked up the small advertisement again and then discovered something: there were two registration links on it. He had scanned the link for the battle event, which was displayed separately, while other events required scanning a different code.

"Damn it! I registered the wrong person!"

Even Lin Xuan couldn't help but swear at this point, tapping and drawing on her phone, but she just couldn't find the place to cancel her registration.

"Why can't they be put together instead of being taken out separately? At least label them on them, right?"

Lin Xuan kept complaining as she searched for the exit button, but she couldn't find it. It was probably because they hadn't set up an option to exit the registration at all.

"Dandan?"

How could they get this wrong?

Xiao Dian shrugged, her face showing an expression that said, "I really can't do anything about you."

"Forget it, at worst we can just surrender."

Lin Xuan didn't care much after giving up; he figured he could just find an excuse to quit when the competition came around. Xiao Dian had the same idea.

"Dandan!"

[Tree Fruit Competition!]

"Hmm... it seems that here each Pokémon can only register for one competition."

Lin Xuan discovered this awkward situation after browsing another registration page, and it seemed that this was also mentioned in the small advertisement, but neither the person nor the elf noticed it at all.

"dawn……"

The little dot froze in mid-air for a moment, then landed straight on the bed sheet, looking as if it had suffered a heavy blow.

"Ahem, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, I've thought of a compromise."

"dawn?"

【What? 】

Xiao Dian looked up at Lin Xuan.

"We'll come over to watch the competition, just so you can feel involved. It'll be like you ate it too, it'll make a big difference~"

Lin Xuan pretended to be nonchalant, but she kept a close eye on Xiao Dian, after all, she was afraid of getting beaten up for saying such things.

"dawn!"

【Awoo&*%&*】凸(艹皿艹】

…………

"So you really dislike fighting?"

After a bit of playful fighting, both the human and the elf were a little tired. Lin Xuan sat on the edge of the bed and asked the little elf, who was watching TV with a lifeless expression.

Then Xiaodian shook her head very solemnly.

[A battle? I'll never fight in my life!]

Then, as if somewhat wary, he turned back to look at Lin Xuan.

"dawn?"

Whether it was a misperception or not, Lin Xuan noticed a rare hint of panic in Xiao Dian's eyes, as if she was worried about being abandoned by Lin Xuan.

"It's okay if you don't like battling, after all, I don't have any intention of becoming a trainer."

On one point, Emolga is actually not a very common Pokémon in China, since its native habitat is the Unova region in the game, and it goes without saying which country Unova corresponds to in reality.

Even though Emolga is essentially a type of electric mouse and is very common in the United States, much like Pikachu is in China, the two countries are quite different. Emolga is still a relatively rare Pokémon in China.

Wild electric flying squirrels are rarely seen.

So Lin Xuan was still a little curious about the origin of the small dot.

"Dan~"

The electric flying mouse moved closer to Lin Xuan, grabbed two potato chips from the bag, and stuffed them into Lin Xuan's mouth.

This is my rent!

"Wait a minute, isn't this what I bought? Isn't it a bit too perfunctory to try and bribe me with this? Could you be any less sincere?"

【What's in my hands is mine!】(￣▽￣)“

"...Okay, it's a reluctant deal."

Chapter 7 What can the electric flying mouse do?

When the time was almost up, Lin Xuan promptly opened her live stream.

[Continue the explanation]

Let's get this title up first.

"Today's match should be more exciting than yesterday's... The only problem is that I'm so tired."

If the streamer could shout less, wouldn't they save some energy?

"No way, I came here to hear loud shouting, I love that feeling."

【Ugh, I love it!】

It's not that Lin Xuan is trying to gain sympathy; it's just that such passionate commentary is indeed quite tiring. But if she were to relax a bit, it wouldn't be the same.

"Alright, alright, let's take a look at what matches are coming up. After yesterday's round of eliminations, the remaining contestants today are all quite strong, so we can be a bit more casual."

Lin Xuan rested her chin on one hand while using the mouse to search on the official website.

High EQ: Acting casually; Low EQ: Completely unprepared, just going with the flow.

[The truth upstairs]

[Isn't it obvious how lazy Mimikyu-sensei is?]

[Got it, the streamer's true identity is the King of Taking Leave]

"Let's settle this in, let's settle this in, the streamer's true form is a wandering night spirit."

Lin Xuan clicked into a live match stream and immediately decided to provide commentary for it.

"Hey, someone actually brought an electric flying squirrel to the competition? Little one! Come and take a look!"

Lin Xuan immediately smiled. He had been somewhat hesitant at first, but since he had seen the Electrike Pokémon on the field, he naturally had to take a look.

After all, firstly, Emolga is relatively rare, and secondly... Emolga is indeed not a Pokémon that excels in combat. Although it is stronger than Pikachu, since it belongs to the category of electric rats, it is destined that its strength will not be outstanding.

What can an electric flying mouse do? An electric flying mouse can't do anything.

[The electric mouse of the United States? Isn't that similar to Pikachu?]

Just then, a small dot flew over, curious about why Lin Xuan had called him.

"Your brothers and sisters, shouldn't you take a look?"

Lin Xuan teased Xiao Dian while also noticing the barrage of comments scrolling across the screen.

"According to official data from numerous research institutes, Emolga's average ability is higher than Pikachu's but lower than Raichu's, roughly in between."

Raichu is an anomaly among electric mice, since other electric mice only have one form and their base stats are generally low, only around 400.

However, the Raichu family has a complete evolutionary chain, and Raichu's final base stats are close to 500, which is the highest among all electric mice.

"And don't underestimate the electric mouse!" Lin Xuan reminded after reading some of the comments on the screen. "Every Pokémon has unlimited potential. It just depends on whether the trainer can unlock it. A Pokémon's species can only determine its lower limit, but its ultimate growth limit still depends on the Pokémon itself and the trainer."

"To give a simple example, does everyone remember a famous moment from the 2014 World Championships?"

Lin Xuan asked casually.
