Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Eggplant showed no mercy to the Devourer, which is weak to Ground-type moves. It immediately sharpened its claws on the spot, and its expression clearly said, 'Wait till I finish sharpening my claws, then I'll kill you with one swipe!' As for why it dared to strengthen its claws on the spot, it was because it was betting that the Devourer couldn't do anything to it!"

As expected, this Devourer didn't have the Seed Gun or Solar Beam skills; it could only emit poison mist from the pores of its body, heading towards the Screw Mole.

"The Screw Grub didn't even try to dodge the Devourer's poison mist. If it were a Steel/Ground type Excadrill, it certainly wouldn't need to dodge at all. But in the Screw Grub's mind, it was as if it had already transformed into a rat-headed earth dragon. I am invincible! Ugh! Take this claw! My claws are big, just bear with it."

After sharpening its claws, the screw-like gopher had faint purple marks on its body, clearly indicating poisoning, but it still swung its alloy claws and charged at the devouring beast.

"Thanks for the little flower from the streamer 'Did you pick up the bottle today?' Uh... I didn't! I feel that using the digging method here would be better. The alloy claw is okay if it can improve the attack effect, otherwise it's just giving the opponent a chance~" Lin Xuan said while thanking the gift, commenting on the Screw Mole's seemingly reckless tactics.

Sure enough, the Screw Mole's claws were swallowed whole as it approached the Devourer. The Devourer's body characteristics are somewhat similar to Muk's, both being very soft.

"The Devouring Beast used a classic example of overcoming strength with gentleness, and you should know that its gastric juices are said to be able to digest anything except its own stomach! My stomach... is coated with deadly poison!"

"The Screw Mole's claws are currently firmly held by the Devouring Beast and it can't break free. Its other claw is digging a hole downwards, trying to burrow underground and take the Devouring Beast down with it. The idea is good, but... the conditions don't seem to allow it. One Devouring Beast is as big as ten of you..."

It can only be said that the Pokémon Excadrill is indeed very talented at digging. Even with only one claw, it quickly dug a large hole under itself. However... the Devourer was still too big. Excadrill was half buried in the ground, but Devourer was still outside. It immediately launched a poison trap at Excadrill.

Finally, he pulled the screw mole directly up from underground and took it out with a single, devastating blow.

"I can only say that the advantage of attributes cannot make up for the gap in absolute strength... It has absolutely nothing to do with what I just said!" Lin Xuan solemnly made a disclaimer, otherwise what if his identity was exposed one day and all the guys he had jinxed came to settle accounts with him?

Lin Xuan shouldn't take the blame for this.

[Hilarious, I knew this would end!]

Can Teacher Mimi Qiu help the Chinese national football team bless their opponents?

[The above is going too far; Mimiu-sensei is a jinx, not God.]

"This... I probably really can't heal it~"

Lin Xuan glanced at the comments and said helplessly, "Although it's the Pokémon world, many of the normal sports activities still exist, but they are far less popular than Pokémon battles."

Lin Xuan then commentated on a few more matches, but the quality was... uneven, not comparable to the tournament he had commentated on a few days earlier, and there were even some situations that caused Lin Xuan's blood pressure to spike.

"Ice Punch! Oh my god! You Gastly learned Ice Punch! Where's Shadow Ball? Where's Sludge Bomb!? Help me!"

Lin Xuan's hands trembled as she picked up the Coke can from the side. It turned out that their school was still not the worst among the participating universities. There are always people better than you, and there is always someone lower than you.

"Wait a minute, let me have a Coke to calm my nerves."

I need to calm myself down too.

[Teacher Qiu's blood pressure has gone up.]

[I'd like a sip of Coke... but there's no Coke, so I guess my blood pressure will have to stay high for now.]

Just as Lin Xuan was drinking cola to calm her nerves, Gastly on the field had already been slapped away by Machamp.

Lin Xuan lay half-reclined on the chair, looking utterly dejected. But after glancing at the time, she realized there was only one round left in the competition, so she decided to watch it all.

However, Lin Xuan perked up a bit after clicking in, because the opponent in this round of the competition seemed to be quite interesting.

"This contestant is from Shanghai University, so he should be quite good. Let's click in and take a look."

Lin Xuan also noticed that this player's battle zone was E, which means that if Xiao Dian advances from the group stage, he will most likely face him. He took advantage of the live broadcast to see how things went.

Chapter 84 Identity exposed?

This contestant from Shanghai University even used a different style of Pokémon than others. While others were using Pokémon like Diglett or Dedora, his Pokémon was a Ninetales.

On one side of the battlefield, the Nine-Tailed Fox sat gracefully, its golden fur displaying exquisite beauty in the sunlight. Its long, smooth tail had golden highlights at the end, swaying slightly with its body.

The surrounding sunlight seemed to intensify because of Ninetales' appearance. Needless to say, this Ninetales' ability is undoubtedly Powerful Solar Beam! Just like Groudon!

Ninetales is one of the few Pokémon whose mature and elegant appearance can rival Milotic's. Other Pokémon, like Sylveon, tend to have a more cute and adorable style.

As for the Pokémon facing Nine-Tails, it was a Nidorino, which was a clear case of being outmatched.

Wow, the level difference is huge!

[A form of dimensional reduction attack] is...

Is this the top student from Shanghai University?

[@Zhong Mingyi is a handsome guy, come out and claim your junior!]

【? ? ? 】

The person who finally posted a long string of question marks was Zhong Mingyi. Why was he tagged just for watching a live stream?

"Thanks to Zhong Mingyi for being such a handsome guy - [I think this match is still unpredictable, Nidolino still has a chance to win]"

At a training ground in the Imperial Capital Pokémon Center, Zhong Mingyi's Pokémon were training on the side, while he watched Lin Xuan's live stream, listening to him read out the SC he had posted, and then slowly sighed.

Junior, this is the only thing I can do for you.

But the moment Zhong Mingyi had this thought, Lin Xuan ruthlessly interrupted him.

"I don't think Nidolino has a chance of winning; the gap in strength is still quite large," Lin Xuan said decisively after finishing reading the SC.

Zhong Mingyi: ...

[Hilarious! This is a backstabbing from Mimikyu-sensei!]

[Xiao Zhong: Sorry, junior, I've already tried my best]

[Another day of SC's money going down the drain]

However, Lin Xuan was telling the truth. This nine-tailed fox was clearly at the two-star level, even stronger than the mosquito coil swimmer that Xiao Dian had faced before.

Zhong Mingyi was naturally aware of this, but some words, once spoken by Lin Xuan, would give him a strange sense of crisis. He still remembered how his Venusaur had been healed to death...

Fortunately, this time the situation did not occur. It should be said that the difference in strength between the two contestants was enough to render Lin Xuan's "poisonous prediction" ineffective. Under the clear sky, Nidolino collapsed on its own after just a slight gust of hot air, completely unable to resist.

"This player is very strong and not easy to deal with! Cough cough... I'm really worried about his future opponents!"

Seeing the power unleashed by this nine-tailed fox, Lin Xuan subconsciously began to think about how to deal with it if Xiao Dian encountered it later. She almost forgot that she was still live streaming, but thankfully she managed to bring it back in time.

"Alright guys, that's it for the stream! See you at noon for the match!"

Lin Xuan stretched and prepared to go out to see what Eevee and Little Point were up to, since there was no sound at all, but then she was stopped by the comments.

"Thanks to SC, a 10-year loyal fan of Electric Flying Squirrel—【Mimikyu-sensei, check the group, there's something good!】Something good? Is it a new game?"

Lin Xuan casually picked up her phone and opened the fan group, only to find a photo of herself—yes, the one of her holding Ibrahimovic on the field during the match.

However, it's not entirely accurate to say it's a photo of Lin Xuan, because the head is gone, leaving only an enlarged image of Eevee, with a comparison picture next to it, which Lin Xuan posted in a group chat after Eevee was born.

It was also a picture of Xiaodian striking a pose in mid-air after defeating her opponent. Her silly demeanor left Lin Xuan speechless for a moment, unable to refute the fact that it was Xiaodian.

[Any good deals? I want to see too!]

Let me see!

[Don't hog all the benefits, streamer!]

"There's nothing to see here. It's just some photos that caused misunderstandings. The streamer isn't a trainer; it's just that he happened to have a Pokémon. Don't bother him!!"

Lin Xuan, who had no intention of revealing her private identity, immediately retorted, and after successfully dispelling the "rumors," the broadcast officially ended.

Lin Xuan's words might be enough to fool others, but they're not quite enough to fool Zhong Mingyi.

He had video-called Lin Xuan before. Although Lin Xuan did not show her face, Xiao Dian unexpectedly appeared on camera a few times while "repairing" the machine.

Zhong Mingyi is someone who is very sensitive to Pokémon. This Emolga does have many similarities to Lin Xuan's Pokémon. The Eevee was also just born not long ago. If these are all coincidences, then it's too much of a coincidence.

So Zhong Mingyi sent a message after Lin Xuan finished her broadcast.

Zhong Mingyi: Is this you?

Lin Xuan: It wasn't me.

Zhong Mingyi: This is you!

Lin Xuan: This isn't me!

Zhong Mingyi: This must be you!

Lin Xuan: This can't be me!

Seeing that Lin Xuan refused to admit it, Zhong Mingyi thought of something else.

Zhong Mingyi: If you have the ability to commentate on one of that player's matches later, then I will believe you.

Lin Xuan: ...

He really can't do that, since he can't create shadow clones, nor can he be in Schrödinger's state, commentating on the game while also playing.

Lin Xuan: Okay, so that's me. Am I more handsome than you?

Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Lin Xuan simply admitted it. Anyway, it wouldn't be a big problem if only Zhong Mingyi knew.

Zhong Mingyi: ...It's just so-so.

Zhong Ming put up the picture of Lin Xuan holding Eevee and had to admit that he was indeed a little bit more handsome than him, but only a little bit!

What shocked Zhong Ming even more than this was Lin Xuan's age. He was so young! If he remembered correctly, Lin Xuan wasn't even a student in the combat department yet, but his understanding of combat was in no way inferior to his own, and in some theoretical knowledge, he was even better.

As for the strength of the elves, although Little Point may not be very strong now, Zhong Mingyi has a feeling that as long as Lin Xuan is given some time, his combat achievements will definitely not be lower than his own.

Lin Xuan also instructed Zhong Mingyi not to reveal his identity.

Zhong Mingyi: Why?

Zhong Ming was somewhat puzzled, after all, this wasn't something shameful.
