Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

The answer was obvious, and even she began to doubt herself.

"Are you okay?"

After the battle, Jonah's Alakazam came to Irelia's side and communicated with her telepathically.

Irene shook her head.

"fine."

"Don't think too much. Just focus on preparing for the upcoming battle. Magiana's strength has been revealed quite a bit, so we have to be careful. Even now, that Electabuzz hasn't used its full power yet."

"Well, I know."

Irene looked up again. By this time, Zhong Mingyi had already been taken back by Eevee, while Slowking had been taken away for treatment.

Chapter 616 Covering the Mouth

"It's alright, I'll avenge you later."

At noon, Lin Xuan and the others stayed in the players' hall, mainly for one reason—because the aftershocks of the battle between Zhong Mingyi and Magia were so strong that the battlefield was basically leveled.

This forced the league to postpone the start of the second match to the following day.

However, it won't affect the rest of the competition schedule, so Lin Xuan and the others didn't have any objections.

Therefore, Lin Xuan doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. After Luo Guan finished training Lin Xuan for the past three days, he went back.

There are still many things to deal with at the dojo and the Huaxia Alliance, especially after the advisor disappeared. Luo Guan and his team have to handle many of these matters.

Therefore, Luo Guan couldn't stay here indefinitely and went back early.

They didn't even have time to watch Lin Xuan and his team's match.

I originally thought I would be able to see Lin Xuan compete in China today, but I didn't expect it would be postponed.

However, Zhong Mingyi rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan's attempt to comfort him.

"You don't think I'll be discouraged, do you?"

"A little bit."

Lin Xuan nodded frankly, a rare occurrence. In all the years of fighting against Zhong Mingyi's peers, Zhong Mingyi seemed to have maintained an invincible position, much like Lin Xuan himself—except when fighting against him, he could hardly find an opponent.

Even so, it was still no match for Magiana.

She was even beaten badly. If Magearna had trained for a longer period of time, or if Irelia's Pokémon had been stronger, she might have lost even more badly.

"It may sound harsh, but to be honest—if I were to subdue Magiana, my strength wouldn't be any less than it is now."

Lin Xuan nodded after hearing this, which is why many people online are not convinced.

Zhong Mingyi's Pokémon are basically all visible to the naked eye; he caught and bred them all himself.

As for Irelia's Magearna—anyone with eyes can see that this Pokémon didn't even undergo much training after being caught!

It must have been recently captured, so many people are speaking out for Zhong Mingyi under these circumstances.

I think he didn't lose to Irene, he just lost to Magiana.

Lin Xuan nodded after hearing this.

"Let's not talk about me now. Anyway, the battle is over. After watching my previous battles—how did you feel?"

Zhong Mingyi propped himself up and sat up in bed.

Zhong Mingyi's stamina was severely depleted due to using the super evolution twice, but it was nothing compared to the superpower and waveguide overexertion that Lin Xuan and the others had previously experienced. He recovered almost completely after a short rest.

On the other hand, Slowking's body secreted a large amount of toxins due to using too much superpower, so he had to rest for a while, and not a short time at that.

It's even quite possible that Zhong Mingyi won't be able to play at the very beginning of the team competition.

This also shows Zhong Mingyi's trust in Lin Xuan and his team—he believes that Lin Xuan can win this match. If they win, it basically means that in the team competition, even without him, almost no one can beat Lin Xuan and his team.

After all, Zhang Shouqing is also very strong, so even without Zhong Mingyi, there's not much to worry about.

Moreover, even without using the Daze King, Zhong Mingyi's strength surpasses that of the vast majority of players.

"Isn't there still one more match? If I lose tomorrow, we can start preparing for the team competition right away."

Lin Xuan said while munching on an apple, while Gallade was responsible for peeling it.

It must be said that the knife with the sharp edge feature is indeed sharp and very easy to use.

"If you really do lose in the semifinals—then you'd better be prepared to swim back yourself!"

Zhong Ming glared at Lin Xuan and said, although he knew Lin Xuan was joking, he was still very unhappy.

I've prepared everything so thoroughly for you, and I've forced the opponent to show their true strength, so you'd better prepare well! At least you can't fall in the semi-finals, right?

"I know, I know. That Magearna is definitely a recent addition to our collection. Her skill usage is terrible. Even a little one from a year ago was probably stronger than her."

Lin Xuan said casually, and just as Zhong Mingyi was about to remind Lin Xuan not to be careless, Lin Xuan immediately spoke again:

"But that guy's strength is just too great; we absolutely cannot confront him head-on."

Although Little Point hadn't used the full power of Crossfire-Lightning for a long time, Lin Xuan felt that the power unleashed by the two Pokémon during the battle that morning was probably no weaker than Little Point's.

If you still want to win in this situation, then you can only rely on the skills of the watchman.

At the same time, they also need the assistance of Ibrahimovic and others.

However, Lin Xuan is currently facing a rather serious problem: while Xiao Dian and his companions are undoubtedly strong, Gyarados and Naganadel are still relatively weak in terms of strength due to their shorter training time.

It's highly unlikely that you can achieve the same speedrun as Zhong Mingyi did, using only three Pokémon to defeat the five Pokémon before Irelia.

Therefore, we may need to place more hope on Little Point and Ibu.

You must conserve your stamina in the previous battles, or even not participate at all, and wait until Magiana comes up before delivering the final blow.

"You know that her fighting style is very primitive. Any Pokémon can easily defeat her, but she can overcome skill with brute force. So if you want to defeat her, you can't be too much weaker in terms of strength."

After rubbing his temples, Zhong Mingyi said that he was a little tired after talking to Lin Xuan for so long. Lin Xuan noticed this and patted the Gallade next to him.

"We'll head out now, you get some rest."

"Well, be careful and don't focus all your attention on Irene. You still have a battle with Areta tomorrow."

"I know, I know!"

Lin Xuan thought that Zhong Mingyi was indeed a bit long-winded at times, so she quickly pulled Gallade out of the room and saw the crowd that had been waiting outside the room.

"Is Zhong Mingyi alright?"

Bai Yao asked first. Among the group, Chu Jingyun and Zhong Mingyi had known each other the longest, but in terms of the longest contact time, it had to be Lin Xuan and Bai Yao.

"It's nothing, what could possibly happen to that guy?"

Lin Xuan shook her head, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, in their eyes, Zhong Mingyi and Lin Xuan were basically undefeated before, but this time—Zhong Mingyi lost.

Even knowing that it was because Magiana was cheating, I still felt a little sad.

At the same time, Lin Xuan began to worry. Judging from their performance today—even with Dazai Wang in such a state, he still couldn't do anything to Magia, could Lin Xuan really win?

Lin Xuan was aware of everyone's concerns, after all, the Chinese team had two players in the semifinals.

If we were both eliminated in the semifinals, we'd probably be laughed at for a long time.

"It's alright, even if we lose to that guy, it's nothing. It's just a mythical beast, right? I think we should let the teacher—"

Bai Yao has no inhibitions, and Lin Xuan covered her mouth halfway through what she was hearing.

"Ah! I just remembered I need to talk to you about something. Come to my room, there's something good there."

As she spoke, Lin Xuan pulled Bai Yao into her room.

The group exchanged glances, then shrugged as if it were a habit, and dispersed.

Lin Xuan must be very nervous at this moment, so they shouldn't go and disturb him.

"Waaaaah... Hey! Why won't you let me speak?!"

Once inside the room, Lin Xuan finally released Bai Yao's hand, and Bai Yao said something rather unpleasant, earning Lin Xuan a glare in return.

"You... you really tell everyone everything! Didn't the teacher say before that we can't tell anyone about Martial Arts Bear Master?"

Lin Xuan solemnly said this to Bai Yao, and Bai Yao realized she was wrong, but still stubbornly insisted on her word.

"Anyway, they don't know how."

"No matter what, since the teacher told us to keep it a secret, we should keep it a secret."

Lin Xuan shook his head and then tapped Bai Yao's head, just like Luo Guan had done.

Bai Yao initially shrank back as if by reflex, mainly because he had been beaten quite badly by Luo Guan over the past two days.

But they quickly realized—wait a minute! Didn't the teacher leave?

I get beaten up when the teacher is around! I get beaten up again when the teacher isn't around!

Didn't the teacher's trip go to waste?

Bai Yao was about to explode, but before she could show it, Lin Xuan kicked her out of the room.

"Alright, alright, what kind of atmosphere would it be if a man and a woman were alone in a room together? You can leave now, I need to think about the tactics for tomorrow's battle."
