Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

If nothing unexpected happens, the first Pokémon this guy sends out will be—

As Lin Xuan thought to herself, the Poké Balls that the two of them threw unfolded on the stage.

Ibrahimovic vs. Dorombarut!

The game started with a bang! Eevee's role in Lin Xuan's team is self-evident, and this Dragapult is one of Eevee's strongest mainstays, or even one of its starter Pokémon.

Chapter 584 War begins!

Almost the instant Lin Xuan and Yi Bei released their two Pokémon, the entire venue erupted in cheers.

Especially in the Chinese audience area, because most people know that Eevee is one of Lin Xuan's strongest Pokémon.

However, this is also related to the format of the World Championship. During the Swiss rounds, time is tight, so it is impossible to use a full-scale battle format, otherwise there would definitely not be enough time.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this. The advantage is that it saves time, but the disadvantage is that, in order to avoid unexpected events, most players will send out their strongest Pokémon from these three Pokémon.

Otherwise, if the opponent is much stronger than you imagine, you might end up losing.

As for Lin Xuan's previous idea, it was to give Naganadel and the others some room to perform, with the help of Tiny and Eevee as a safety net.

However, the opponent he encountered was equally strong, and Lin Xuan was unwilling to take the risk. If things went wrong, Lin Xuan would definitely be severely criticized.

Whether it was Lin Xuan or Ibrahimovic, they could hear the cheers from the stands, as well as the cheers from home that they couldn't hear.

Therefore, Lin Xuan absolutely cannot lose. Although Lin Xuan was also somewhat helpless, why did it have to be so tense just because it was only the very first match?

Eevee is quite experienced in battling Dragapult, as Chu Jingyun's main Pokémon is also Dragapult, and Eevee also battled that Dragapult in the domestic championship.

The final result was close to mutual destruction. Although this Dragapult was stronger than Chu Jingyun's Dragapult at that time, the current Eevee was definitely far stronger than before.

The battle is about to begin.

Eevee was the first to make a move. This girl would never give up even the slightest opportunity. Powerful psychic abilities instantly erupted from her body, almost covering the entire field.

If there were any superpowered individuals among the people here right now, they would be able to see just how terrifying Eevee is.

No, there are superpowered people here, and probably quite a few.

After all, everyone takes the first day's matches very seriously. Even those who don't have matches today come to watch, especially the match between Lin Xuan and Yi Bei.

Both of them are formidable opponents. Even if we don't face them later, we'll still come to check them out just to gather some information.

Of course, those seeded teams are the ones who mainly think this way, and only the players in these teams would want to compete against Lin Xuan and his teammates, who are also seeded teams.

This naturally included the captain of Carlos's team.

Jonar stared intently at the battlefield where Lin Xuan was fighting.

He also had a match today, but his opponent wasn't very strong. He didn't even bother to prepare and just came here to watch Lin Xuan and the others' match.

This sight made him realize that he had indeed made the right choice.

Although there were many videos of Lin Xuan's Eevee battles available online, videos are just videos; to truly understand her, you have to go offline.

However, while these players had prior knowledge of Lin Xuan's abilities, most viewers were actually quite bewildered when they saw Lin Xuan's Eevee.

After all—can a Pokémon like Eevee really become a mainstay in the World Championship?

Aren't these Pokémon basically just mascots?

Many people don't actually have that kind of awareness about these strong players. They are probably more familiar with the players from China. Viewers from other countries generally don't bother to learn about them.

I'm here to watch the game, not to do any training or research. Why should I care about the other players' abilities?

Many people have this thought in mind, so they were stunned when they saw Ibrahimovic.

"How did Eevee get into the game?"

Are you sure this isn't a joke?

"And what is this Eevee using? Is it some kind of superpower?"

Many people even started to mock Lin Xuan's Ibrahimovic, while the other Chinese spectators sitting on the side basically just glanced at him silently.

Is Lin Xuan's Eevee just a mascot?

Hehe, you'll see when you keep watching.

Eevee's psychic powers enveloped Draco, making him feel somewhat oppressed for a moment.

Ibe knew things couldn't continue like this, so he decided to take the initiative and had Dorambaruto use his strongest dragon arrow.

In an instant, the two little dragons flew towards Lin Xuan's Eevee, but they were bound by Eevee's psychic powers halfway there.

But the moment the two little dragons were bound, they seemed to have established some kind of special connection and instantly returned to the dragon Balto.

Even Lin Xuan was stunned when he saw this scene, as was Chu Jingyun, who was also a Dragapult trainer.

He also has a match in the afternoon, and his opponent is relatively weak, so he was able to come and watch Lin Xuan's match.

So when I saw that Ibe's Dorombalto had actually done it, I was momentarily stunned.

Seeing his reaction, Bai Yao quickly came over and asked.

"Is there something strange about this?"

"No, it's not strange. It's just that this Doryo is slightly stronger than my Doryo."

Chu Jingyun said quite seriously.

"why?"

Bai Yao was puzzled as to why Chu Jingyun could make such a judgment after only one glance. In fact, not only Bai Yao was confused, but even Zhong Mingyi cast a glance at Chu Jingyun.

Even master-level trainers cannot have the same level of understanding as professional trainers when facing unfamiliar Pokémon.

Just like now, Zhong Mingyi and the others' understanding of Dorombalut is no match for Chu Jingyun's.

Chu Jingyun didn't hesitate and spoke directly:

"Because this Dragapult just pulled back the Dragapult it shot out mid-air, even under Eevee's psychic restraint, which shows that this Dragapult's control over the Dragon Arrow skill—its grasp of the otherworldly power—is almost perfect."

After a moment's thought, Chu Jingyun wondered if his Dragapult, at its peak, could withstand Lin Xuan's Eevee's psychic-powered blockade to this extent.

Chu Jingyun shook his head after thinking for only two seconds.

It's not quite there yet; it's still missing something.

"Is it so strong?"

"However, it's probably because this Dragapult's training focuses on this area. Each Pokémon has a different training focus. Even when facing the same Pokémon, the results can be completely different."

Zhong Mingyi continued to add.

That's true. Is Chu Jingyun's Dorono really weaker than Ibe's? Not necessarily, because Chu Jingyun's training methods are most likely different from those of the one in front of us.

So what should Lin Xuan do now?

Chu Jingyun was quite curious. Of course, he had no doubt that Lin Xuan could win the battle; there was absolutely no doubt about that.

Ibrahimovic was momentarily stunned when he saw the two little guys return to Dorombalo's head.

Holy crap, this guy just went back like that?

"Eevee!"

Lin Xuan called out to Eevee, and Eevee immediately understood what Lin Xuan wanted to express.

Lin Xuan's Aura Force moved closer to Eevee. Lin Xuan hadn't actually used Aura Force; it was entirely Eevee's own power.

But now it seems there's no need for that. If it were just Eevee, there's absolutely no need to be so concerned about her strength.

However, it's important to conserve some of your strength for a while, as it might have unexpected benefits later.

The same principle applies: even with video, the effect is completely different from seeing it live. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have come to watch today's match.

Lin Xuan's Aura and Eevee's psychic powers merged instantly, and then Eevee sensed something strange: Eevee's psychic powers were receding!

This made Ibe nervous, because according to their previous research, Lin Xuan's Eevee was very strange. It could use powerful skills of various types, and the precursor to this seemed to be the withdrawal of all its psychic powers.

So when he saw this scene, he realized that something might be about to happen.

Ibe became nervous, and Dorombalto also entered the defensive teleportation zone.

Eevee didn't try to outsmart Draco, but instead unleashed all its power—Bright Storm!

The fairy-attribute energy instantly swept across the entire area, and anyone with even a little bit of combat knowledge would exclaim in their heart – how is this possible?

How exactly did Ibu manage to use this move?

No one could understand it. It was one thing that they couldn't see it in the video before, but this time, even on-site, they still couldn't find a single clue.

"This ability... is absolutely terrifying!"

Carlos's captain, Jonar, couldn't help but sigh again.

He still didn't understand, but after hearing his words, he basically agreed and nodded.

This Eevee is truly terrifying, capable of using various types of super-effective powers. Can other Pokémon do that?

Even if they could, the damage would be rather average. But Eevee's skills all seem incredibly powerful, and they also have a bunch of strange effects.

The shimmering storm swept towards Dronbalut, but it missed the pre-prepared Dronbalut, who had already traveled into another dimension.

Eevee withdrew its psychic powers again, closed its eyes, and began to sense where Draco might appear next.
