Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Ibrahimovic couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he could only continue to lie there pretending to be dead.

There's nothing in this world that tastes worse than cilantro! Absolutely!

After this little farce ended, Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi continued their previous topic: the upcoming round of 16 matches.

"The current opponents are basically all strong, so you might really have to bring your Ibrahimovic on the field."

Zhong Ming said directly, "Although Eevee is very strong, once you've seen a little bit of its strength, you'll know how terrifying it is."

Especially that move from before; when he was training with Lin Xuan, Zhong Mingyi had the privilege of witnessing the half of Xiao Dian's strongest move.

It's called a half move because Lin Xuan didn't use his full strength at that time, or rather, he didn't reach the limit of what he had done in the previous tournament.

But its power is already quite terrifying.

At that time, they weren't even in the training room because they felt the training room might not be able to handle the strain.

Then he took Lin Xuan to a secluded spot on the island, but... ten minutes later, members of the Alliance came to clean up the mess.

The explosion was far too loud.

However, Lin Xuan smiled and shook her head after hearing this.

"That's not necessarily the case!"

As he spoke, he patted Eevee's head. This guy's strength has improved a lot recently. If you underestimate him... you'll suffer.

It remains to be seen who will suffer the consequences first.

Lin Xuan was confident that no matter what Pokémon they encountered, Eevee could at least achieve a one-for-one trade.

Below the legendary level! Ibrahimovic consistently trades one for one!

That power was so great that even a small amount seemed unbearable—and the training room couldn't withstand it either, so they had to get someone to repair it that same day.

When Zhong Ming saw Lin Xuan's expression, he knew that Lin Xuan was definitely holding something back, but he was too lazy to ask. He probably made progress again during this period.

No wonder the training room was in such a mess last time, I guess...

Zhong Mingyi must have thought of something, but he didn't say much and just continued to wait for the next battle.

Long Xiao lost the match without any suspense, and Zhang Shouqing only put up a token resistance.

However, in the eyes of the public, Zhang Shouqing's reputation quickly declined.

In their view, Zhang Shouqing's strength should be the weakest in the Chinese team, at most about the same as Chu Jingyun's.

The truly troublesome ones are only Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi.

But this is an idea that only the strongest player in a team could have, and only they have the right to think this way.

Even the part of Zhang Shouqing's strength that he showed was at the level of the top 32, which is not something that ordinary people can underestimate.

Time quickly moved on to the next match, and as for Lin Xuan's opponent—

"Alright! Welcome to the World Championship. Today's first match is the highly anticipated one between our Chinese team's Lin Xuan and the captain of the Portuguese team! Their opponents are quite strong!"

That's right, the first match of the day was a resounding success for Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan didn't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky.

But the opponent I encountered... wasn't exactly very strong.

In comparison, Lin Xuan was more interested in the next match, which was the match between Team United and Team Galar.

Lin Xuan was quite curious about the legendary battle between the father and son. Although the greatest pressure he felt right now came from Areta, it was hard to say how strong that guy from Galar was.

As for Baron, who was standing in front of Lin Xuan, although he seemed fine on the surface, he was secretly sighing in his heart.

My luck doesn't seem to be very good... Oh well, at this point, there's no point in talking about luck anymore, since none of the opponents I encounter are weak.

But Lin Xuan is definitely the kind of player that no one wants to draw, after all, he is a favorite to win this competition.

Lin Xuan had studied this guy; he seemed to be an expert in using Fire-type Pokémon, or rather, a Fire-type master.

At this point, Lin Xuan glanced around and found that there seemed to be quite a few trainers among the top sixteen who used Pokémon of a single type, roughly split evenly.

After all, while using a single Pokémon makes you more vulnerable to being countered, it also makes it easier to train one.

"As for Fire-type Pokémon... I'd still like to send Little Point up!"

Lin Xuan muttered to himself, "Wouldn't it be quite entertaining if Xiao Dian went up and defeated the opponent with a fire-type move?"

Because of the translation device, Barron on the other end also heard this and his lips twitched immediately.

No! Big brother!

There's no need to unleash your ultimate move right away. Wouldn't it be better if we just had a proper battle?

Baron had no need to hold back. Their team wasn't particularly strong, but they weren't weak either. As for their own strength... everyone already knew that beforehand.

It's better to have a clean and decisive battle, so as to have no regrets.

However, Lin Xuan had only thought about it in his mind; he couldn't really send Xiao Dian out right away. He sent out Gyarados first.

As for the opposing team, Baron, they sent out Korokot, a Pokémon that Lin Xuan rarely uses, and it can even be said that they have almost never battled with it.

Because this kind of Pokémon is rarely seen in China, it doesn't affect Lin Xuan's understanding of this Pokémon.

As one of the starter Pokémon on Baron's side, even among the many starter Pokémon, Krookodile is considered to be one of the more outstanding ones.

One reason comes from his characteristic – simplicity.

Anyone who has ever been involved in battles knows how powerful this feature is. To give a simple example, no matter how many times Gallade uses Swords Dance to boost its power, the damage it deals is always the same.

Similarly, no matter how many times Eevee meditates, the power of Crocodile's moves remains the same.

It ignores the opponent's ability bonuses when attacked and ignores the opponent's ability changes when attacking, making it a terrifying characteristic in battle.

This means that you absolutely cannot enhance your character when fighting him, because it will be completely useless.

Furthermore, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile's strength isn't just limited to its traits; this creature also possesses a skill—

Flames Sing!

An 80-power move is already quite strong, and it also guarantees a one-time boost to Special Attack.

The Volcarona nearby is about to yell at me! Why isn't my Dance of Fire at 100%? Does it look down on Bug-type Pokémon?

In addition, the Ancient Giant's race is also considered quite excellent, and together they created a powerful Fire-type starter Pokémon.

As for why Lin Xuan sent out Gyarados first... the answer is simple: type advantage!

The Bone-Patterned Crocodile's type is Fire/Ghost, but Gyarados's Mega Evolution type is Dark/Water, making it a perfect match.

So when Rumba saw Gyarados, he immediately fell silent, feeling that Lin Xuan was being a bit inhuman.

They're stronger than me, so can't they hold back a little?

No, Gyarados is really going to hold back!

Because the battle started immediately after the two Pokémon appeared, Gyarados instantly Mega Evolved and then unleashed a Water Tail attack.

Instantly, countless streams of water converged behind Gyarados.

The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile had no choice but to retaliate, unleashing its Blazing Song!

The powerful flames, accompanied by a sonic boom, rushed towards Gyarados, but were almost entirely shattered by a single slap of its tail.

Then the water jet tail slammed heavily onto the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.

Barron's eyebrows twitched at the sight.

Although I knew beforehand that Lin Xuan's Gyarados was quite ferocious in battle, I didn't expect it to be this ferocious.

If someone didn't know better, they might think that Gyarados could completely ignore Flare Song, but Baron saw it clearly.

The water on Gyarados's tail almost evaporated completely.

Chapter 606 Death

Although the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile was somewhat stunned by Gyarados's tail lash, Baron could also tell that Gyarados couldn't possibly emerge unscathed from that level of Flare Song.

But this guy can completely ignore this level of injury and continue attacking. Even Baron has rarely seen a Pokémon like this.

Normally, only wild Pokémon can achieve this level of skill under extreme circumstances.

Don't assume that wild Pokémon are the kind that rush up and bite you relentlessly. In reality, just like wild animals, they are the first to run away if they encounter any danger.

Because there are too many unpredictable dangers in the wild, not only for trainers but also for these local Pokémon, their bestial instincts only erupt when they have to fight desperately.

But Gyarados is different. It seems to be able to control its beastly nature freely. For example, right now, it's going all out.

Baron could tell that, in terms of strength, his main Pokémon, Krookodile, was still stronger than Lin Xuan's Gyarados, even though it hadn't Mega Evolved.

But there's no way around it; under this kind of combat, no one can possibly face it head-on, right?

Actually, Lin Xuan had worried before that this battle style might affect Gyarados's body, as always risking everything wasn't a good thing.

However, Gyarados's physical condition was even stronger than Lin Xuan had imagined. Many times, with just a little treatment, its originally severe injuries would be almost completely healed.

Lin Xuan also took Gyarados to get a special check-up, since many hidden injuries remain in the body and won't erupt until they accumulate to a certain extent.

However, Gyarados did not exhibit this characteristic, which Lin Xuan could only attribute to the fact that this creature's physical attributes were simply too exceptional!

This is also the most frustrating thing for Baron. He seems to be stronger, but he is still being overwhelmed by Gyarados.

The blazing flames instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
