Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

But Lin Xuan is different. The strongest one is Little Spot, and the second strongest one is even an Eevee that uses psychic powers.

This is quite rare among all waveguide messengers.

One very important reason is probably that Lin Xuan is the kind of waveguide messenger who joined the game halfway through his career.

Many Aura users were discovered to have potential when they were young and then began to be trained. Pokémon also has a specific direction.

This is even more true for people with superpowers.

However, Lin Xuan became a trainer first, and then awakened her Aura power, which is different from the order of events for most people.

"it is good!"

Lin Xuan didn't refuse and nodded in agreement, mainly for the sake of a sense of ceremony. Also... Gallade, as one of Lin Xuan's strongest Pokémon, would have been used in this battle even without Jonar's suggestion.

Lin Xuan immediately threw out Gallade, and as for the Pokémon her opponent sent out... it was Malamar!

Although they were both Psychic-type Pokémon, Lin Xuan could always sense that... this guy didn't seem to want to take advantage of him.

Because Gallade's type is Fighting/Psychic, it struggles against Psychic-type Pokémon and can only use Dark-type moves that it is less familiar with.

However, it's a different story if the opponent is Malamar, because in addition to Psychic, Malamar also has the Dark type, which means that even Gallade's Fighting-type moves can unleash their full power.

"I prefer fairness. You can use Mega Evolution if you want, because Malamar is my second Pokémon and has been with me for a long time."

Jonar said, seemingly worried that Lin Xuan might be unwilling to use Mega Evolution because of this, and even spoke up directly.

However, he may have slightly underestimated Lin Xuan in this regard. Lin Xuan might feel embarrassed.

That's impossible! Lin Xuan quickly completed Mega Evolution with Gallade, Mega Gallade VS Squid King!

In a way, the two Pokémon seem like the kind of story where a hero battles a great demon.

And the Pokémon Squid King has never been a positive Pokémon.

Do you think Lin Xuan can win?

Cheng Si seemed a little worried, and then she saw Bai Yao leisurely eating snacks.

"What's there to be afraid of? Lin Xuan will definitely win!"

At this moment, Bai Yao expressed his absolute trust in Lin Xuan, because this guy... has he ever lost when facing trainers who are actually the same age as him?

Lin Xuan's record is practically 100%, and Cheng Si is aware of this, but the opposing team is Carlos's captain, and he is worried that Lin Xuan might accidentally lose.

But just as they were worrying, the battle began!

"Come on, let me see just how strong your aura power really is!"

A smile appeared on Jonar's lips. He stopped hiding his superpowers and unleashed them in full force. Lin Xuan did the same. Instantly, two powerful auras soared into the sky, even affecting the surrounding space.

The main reason is that these two powers were respectively applied to Gallade and Malamar on the battlefield, causing their power to surge instantly.

Moreover, because of Jonar's choice, Lin Xuan did not hold back at all, pouring all of his strongest Aura power into Gallade.

Regardless of the final result of the match, Lin Xuan must win this one!

Both of them also gave up the option of trading Pokémon.

Exchanges? Tactics? We don't need those things! What we both value is fairness and honor.

At least that's what Jonar thought, which made Lin Xuan feel embarrassed even if he wanted to change Pokémon, so he could only make the same decision as this guy.

At the same time, Lin Xuan had also started to like this guy. If the two of them were on the same side, they should get along very well.

Jonah also shared this idea, largely because...

"We can't deny that we're getting old! The power of these young people..."

In the high stands, an elderly man in a suit was sitting, watching Lin Xuan and his team on the battlefield.

If Lin Xuan saw this old man, he would definitely recognize him. Although there are three superpowered individuals in this world, there are actually significant differences among all superpowered individuals below these three.

Take this person in front of us, for example. He is known as the fourth most powerful superhuman, second only to the three mentioned above.

A young man standing to the side, who seemed to be his junior, couldn't help but smile upon hearing his words.

"Isn't this also because you taught me well?"

"Yes, but I didn't expect that the power of aura could collide with superpowers like this, and even... resonate with them."

The old man stroked his chin and said a bunch of things that the people around him couldn't understand, but all they needed to know was that he was Jonar's teacher.

"So Grandpa, who do you think will win this battle...?"

"No need to make guesses so early, just wait and see."

Seemingly avoiding the topic, the old man simply waved his hand casually and stopped talking, while looking at the "sacred fire" not far away.

"We've been having more and more trouble lately, we still have to rely on these young people!"

The one thing Lin Xuan needs to figure out most right now is—what exactly are the characteristics of this giant squid?

The Squid King has a rather terrifying characteristic: it can contradict others. Combined with its brute force, it's truly terrifying.

However, it could also be the Penetrating ability. After all, reality is different from the game. Pokémon with the Penetrating ability will make their moves more penetrating when they attack, giving the moves a special quality.

This is one of the reasons why the penetrating property exists in reality. As for the suction cup... sorry, it's still a rather useless property.

As Lin Xuan had expected, the Squid King ultimately resorted to brute force, essentially ignoring his contrarian tendencies.

Otherwise, even if they wanted to use this trick to deceive Lin Xuan, the price would be too high.

Because the brute force move not only lowers a Pokémon's attack, but also its defense.

Lowering your defense in front of Gallade is practically suicidal, isn't it?

Although they have psychic powers, like Gallade, they don't necessarily have to use psychic skills.

Psychic powers don't provide as comprehensive a boost to Pokémon as Aura, and are more extreme, but they still help with other abilities.

Just like the brute force that the Squid King is using now.

Gallade knew it couldn't go in and take the hit head-on.

In this collision, without a doubt, Gallade would win if they really faced off, but what's the point?

The opponent's attack and defense are both increased. The defense is okay, and Gallade's Holy Sword can be ignored.

However, even Gallade is having a headache with the ever-increasing power.

However, Lin Xuan dared not dodge. Generally speaking, the side effects of the brute force skill would only be triggered if it hit the opponent. But for a Pokémon with the strength of Malamar, it was not impossible for it to trigger the side effects on its own. It was entirely within its capabilities.

and so--

Sword Dance!

A complete head-on collision!

Gallade's power is definitely higher than Malamar's in the early stages, so let's use the early stages to establish an advantage!

This was Lin Xuan's plan, and Gallade's Holy Sword, wielded during Sword Dance, did indeed successfully block the brute force of the Squid King, but it soon came back again. Gallade could feel that the power gap between itself and the Squid King was constantly narrowing.

"This ability to combine sword dance and holy sword... is really interesting."

By this point in the fight, Jonar knew that it seemed unlikely he could surpass Gallade in strength by relying on the brute force of his Squid King form.

First of all, Gallade is stronger in terms of raw power, and it also has the Sharpness ability... Even if Malamar is strengthened, it doesn't seem to be that great.

Moreover, although this squid king's most proficient tactic is actually Jonar's least favorite.

This simple, head-on collision game makes Jonah look more like a fighting game trainer than a superpowered trainer!

But precisely because it's for winning, this is the most suitable tactic for the Squid King.

Although the process may sound rather tedious, the audience actually found it quite enjoyable.

The clash between the two Pokémon was just too intense!

Unlike the previous two days, Gallade kept using Teleport, which didn't create any entertainment value at all.

Although it didn't showcase any particularly powerful tactics, it was like some Hollywood blockbusters: even if the plot was terrible, as long as the special effects were good enough, people would still watch it.

The situation is pretty much the same right now. What everyone likes is this kind of hard-hitting battle, especially in these short ten seconds, the two Pokémon have clashed multiple times.

It was a real feast for the eyes.

Today, the commentator for Lin Xuan's match in the live broadcast room in China is still an old acquaintance of Lin Xuan, but this time it is not Song Chen, but a big name.

"This kid has made a lot of progress recently."

Luo Guan crossed his arms and nodded. Yes, this time the special guest was him!

The commentator on the side was almost in tears. He had previously thought that Song Chen didn't talk enough and the show wasn't entertaining enough, but now it seems... that one of them was the best choice, right?

The commentator didn't dare to speak freely in front of the Gym Leader of Jin Hui Dojo, a trainer who is among the top masters.

The key point is that this guy himself doesn't seem to like talking much. It was only when Lin Xuan's battle got intense that he finally opened his mouth and said a few words. Otherwise, every time he spoke, he would just nod and say things like "yes," "that's right," or "you're right," which was enough to drive the host crazy.

But does that mean Luo Guan didn't know this? Actually, no, he was quite shrewd.

But that's just his personality; he doesn't like to talk, and his presence here is mostly due to the alliance's arrangement.

Lin Xuan has matches every day these days. As the most important Chinese player, he's definitely getting the best treatment!

Therefore, Luo Guan couldn't refuse this request and could only ask the commentator beside him to make some sacrifices.

However, Luo Guan soon frowned slightly.
