Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Are both players ready?

The referee asked Lin Xuan and the trainer of the seeded Iron Ball on the other side questions, while the Delibird above also pointed the camera in their direction.

"You are not allowed to bring props into the game."

The referee glanced at the bracelet on Xiaodian's hand and said.

"Sorry, I forgot~"

Lin Xuan scratched his head and then had Xiao Dian throw the bracelet over. Although the bracelet wouldn't actually affect the competition, the referees were clearly worried that someone might hide a prop inside.

For example, items like the Life Orb and the Miracle Seed are relatively small and can be easily hidden inside. To ensure fairness, it is generally not allowed to bring any such items.

Xiao Dian tossed the bracelet back to Lin Xuan, then flew back onto the field.

"Dandan!"

"Game start!"

As soon as the referee gave the order, Lin Xuan and the opposing player gave their commands almost simultaneously.

"Shadow clone."

"Parasite seed!"

Lin Xuan knew almost without thinking what the other side was going to do. With such a slow speed, the Seed Iron Ball would be very easy to kite when it encountered a special attacker. And the best way to deal with kiting was obviously only one skill - Leech Seed!

Once the parasitic seed hits, it can continuously draw energy from the opponent to replenish its own consumption. Moreover, the parasitic seed has more than just this function; it can also often act as a restraint.

After all, if a parasitic seed wants to absorb energy, it must be firmly locked onto its opponent. If it is not eliminated in time, it can easily lead to a difficult situation.

Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't let that happen, so he directly used his shadow clone. "You want to plant seeds? Plant them however you want. I'll admit defeat if you can even manage to plant them."

The parasitic seed on the seed ball missed its target without a doubt, and the opponent's expression was not good.

Not only did the parasitic seeds miss, but he also had a hard time dealing with these shadow clones.

"Missile needle!"

The seed iron ball has countless iron spikes on its body, which are not only used for defense but also as an offensive weapon.

The seed ball is oval-shaped, with spikes at the bottom acting as supports to prevent it from falling over. This structure means that the balance of the seed ball is very difficult to control.

But at this moment, the seed iron ball's body began to spin rapidly, and the spikes on its surface instantly shot out, heading straight for the little dot and his clones.

"In a flash, I charged forward."

Lin Xuan keenly seized this opportunity. The biggest problem with the Seed Iron Ball before its evolution was the imbalance caused by its body structure. Once it was knocked down, it would be difficult for it to stand up on its own.

If the seed iron ball were to take root immediately, it could cause Lin Xuan some trouble, since that thing is really quite sturdy, and even if someone wanted to push it, they wouldn't be able to.

The little dot's body was covered in electricity, and it instantly flew towards the seed ball. However, if anyone could see the expression on the little dot's face through the electricity, they would definitely find it very funny.

"Dandan!"

How can I possibly fight off so many spikes?!

Fortunately, Lin Xuan wasn't telling him to crash into it directly, otherwise it would be hard to say who would be in more trouble.

Little Dot and its clones circled the seed ball several times, but it wouldn't stop. Little Dot itself was getting dizzy from all the spinning.

Seeing that the seed ball in front of him was finally slowing down, Little Dot stepped forward and unleashed a 100,000-volt attack.

He's less willing to use this skill at a distance, since it's easy to miss and split the target. But if he still misses at such a close distance, Lin Xuan will have to consider letting it go.

Seeing that Little Dot had used the powerful Thunderbolt move, Zhao Qi immediately tensed up. He straightened up and looked in Lin Xuan's direction, his left hand quietly placed on his thigh, ready to take out a Poké Ball at any moment.

"what happened?"

Fan Yuan, who was standing to the side, noticed Zhao Qi's behavior and asked with some doubt.

"Ahem, I'm getting old, I can't sit still for long," Zhao Qi said after coughing twice.

Fan Yuan nodded, then remembered that Zhao Qi had apparently just had his second child last year, so he wasn't surprised.

As a man, why get married? Isn't Pokémon better? Women will only slow me down when I throw Poké Balls!

With these thoughts in mind, Fan Yuan continued watching the match. Lin Xuan's performance was quite good. He cleverly dodged the Parasite Seed with Shadow Clone and dealt with the spinning attack of the Seed Ball with a close-range Thunderbolt. The former might be a coincidence, but the latter certainly wasn't.

If he were to put himself in Lin Xuan's shoes and command that electric flying squirrel, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with a better solution.

"This student from your school is quite good!"

Fan Yuan couldn't help but say that although the electric flying squirrel seemed to be a bit weak, it could be trained slowly.

However, combat awareness and the ability to react instantly to the situation on the field are often innate and depend on talent.

Some people can be very adept at the game as soon as they enter the arena, easily predicting their opponent's next move, while others, even after playing for a long time, still make mistakes on the most basic things.

It can only be said that talent is very important for a trainer.

"Yeah yeah~"

Zhao Qi clearly didn't have time to listen to Fan Yuan's words; he was only focused on Lin Xuan's situation.

"By the way, if I were to take Lin Xuan away, you wouldn't have any objections, would you?"

"Whatever, as long as you can..." Zhao Qi waved his hand subconsciously. For most combat students, being noticed by Fan Yuan was definitely a good thing, but he quickly remembered something.

“You can try to negotiate with the others yourself, but not with Lin Xuan.” Zhao Qi shook his head.

"What? This is your illegitimate child?"

Fan Yuan pointed at Lin Xuan curiously. How come she was so casual about anyone just now, but changed her attitude when it came to Lin Xuan?

"If you want him, go talk to Old Sun yourself," Zhao Qi said to Fan Yuan after shaking his head.

"Old Sun? Sun Siming?" Fan Yuan said after thinking for a moment. After all, it seemed that Dr. Sun Siming was the only person in Jianghai City who could be addressed as such by Zhao Qi.

“Yes, if you want it, go talk to him yourself,” Zhao Qi said, nodding.

"Never mind then. Speaking of which, it's surprising that this little guy has won Dr. Sun's favor." Fan Yuan leaned back again. He just thought Lin Xuan might have some potential. He wouldn't say he was really interested. Besides, Lin Xuan was from the research institute. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to get him if he went to ask. He'd better not embarrass himself.

The tiny dot's 100,000 volts struck the seed ball precisely where it was spinning, and the tiny dot consciously controlled the direction of the current's attack, aiming at the spikes the seed ball used to maintain its balance.

It's important to know that although the seed iron ball has been launching missiles and needles to attack since the beginning, the spikes underneath it have remained there because they serve to support its body.

Now, with a small attack, the seed ball instantly lost its balance and tilted to one side.

“Take root!”

The opponent is now trying to use rooting to balance his body, but it's a little too late. Lin Xuan had already considered this and naturally wouldn't give him the chance to do so.

"Grid!"

A large net instantly appeared in front of Xiaodian and flew out, tightly covering the seed iron ball, with the purpose of preventing him from standing up.

Then came two more 100,000-volt attacks. Although they were resisted, don't forget the terrifying amount of electricity in that small hole. After two 100,000-volt attacks, the Seed Iron Ball instantly lost its ability to fight.

"That electric flying squirrel's electric current is incredibly strong!"

Although he no longer had the idea of ​​recruiting Lin Xuan, Fan Yuan still paid attention to the competition. He was somewhat surprised when he saw the powerful electric current appearing on Xiao Dian's body.

"Many electric spirits that have just reached the second star level cannot generate this level of current."

"It must be this electric flying squirrel's talent; it showed up during our school's intra-school competition," Zhao Qi explained for Lin Xuan.

"Talent? What a pity~"

It's not a pity; it'll probably be useful sooner or later.

Zhao Qi thought to himself, after all, he was the only one besides the doctor and Gu Yuan who knew Xiao Dian's background, and even Lin Xuan seemed to be unclear about it at this moment.

"Well done, you didn't expend much energy, which is perfect for the afternoon's match."

Lin Xuan tossed the bracelet back to Xiao Dian and said with satisfaction.

As the competition progressed, the number of competitors dwindled, making the schedule increasingly competitive.

Anyway, there's a Chansey that was specially brought over from the Pokémon Center, so it can recover quickly even if it gets injured.

As for injuries that even Chansey can't handle for a while, even if the match is delayed, the outcome will likely be the same.

After the match, Lin Xuan checked his phone and saw that almost everyone was praising him; before he knew it, he had seen over 99+ comments.

[Brother Lin is awesome!]

[Who would have thought that the pride of BGI would lie in our Department of Evolutionary Biology]

[@YeNan, why don't you go up in the next competition too?]

The person being tagged is clearly the guy who spoke above.

"...Then let's forget about it."

[Is Lin Ge actually going to win the championship?]

[It's a bit uncertain, after all, the students from Shanghai University and Beijing University are both incredibly strong.]

[Speaking like that, doesn't Lin Xuan at least have a 0.001% chance of winning the championship?]

Damn it, can't these guys just talk to themselves?

Although Lin Xuan himself felt that winning the championship was unlikely, after all, putting everything else aside, the Flame King he had seen before seemed extremely difficult to deal with.

With such a small frame, Lin Xuan was genuinely worried that a single collision with Yan Wu Wang would be fatal.

Coincidentally, Lin Xuan's opponent this afternoon was none other than the Flame King!
