Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

It seems we can't just give up; we still need to develop a training plan for Ralts.

Ralts' situation clearly points him towards becoming Gallade, but this presents a problem similar to that of Volcarona.

Before officially evolving into Gallade, both Ralts and Kirlia have higher Special Attack than Physical Attack, and their innate moves are mostly Physical Attack... Well, Lin Xuan was being a bit conservative; they don't have a single Physical Attack move at all!

Lin Xuan sat in front of the computer, thinking about the direction of Ralts' training. Now that he had captured it, he would definitely take full responsibility for it.

Lin Xuan glanced at the information transmitted from Gu Yuan. Although Ralts had a serious flaw in his psychic abilities, it wasn't all bad. It was as if he had put all his innate skill points into one place: teleportation.

Ralts's teleportation ability is ridiculously high. At this stage, let alone requiring distance and accuracy, very few people can actually use teleportation, but he can perfectly find the direction and control the distance.

Eevee encountered the enigmatic Ralts because it accidentally misplaced its location while using Teleport, sending itself too far away.

Ralts also has two inherited skills: Immobilize and Shadow Sneak.

Besides blocking enemy skills, the immobilization technique can also achieve its literal meaning if the user is strong enough. For example, a powerful Gothic character can use the Shadow Tag ability to completely immobilize an enemy.

As for Shadow Sneak, it seems to be the most suitable skill for Ralts at the moment. Apart from that, it seems that the only other option is to... learn Farmer's Three Punches?

Thinking about Ralts's tiny figure frantically waving its little fists, Lin Xuan inexplicably felt a sense of amusement.

After careful consideration, Lin Xuan temporarily decided on Ralts's future path. Since it was decided to evolve into Gallade, there was no need to dwell on moves like Psychic and Drain Kiss.

First, the training in teleportation cannot be neglected; second, shadow attacks are currently Ralts' only offensive method.

Once Zhong Ming arrives, I'll go find him and get a few free copies of the Farmer's Three Fists training method.

This guy's Lucario and Blaziken are both Fighting-type Pokémon, so he should be very experienced with these.

After organizing all of this, Lin Xuan pulled Ralts aside for a short meeting to explain the plans he had just made.

Little Dot and Ibu also came over, just to join in the fun.

"Instant teleportation is also very powerful. With advanced practice, you can teleport directly behind your opponent, deliver a punch, and then run away. It's an essential skill for ambushing and catching people off guard!"

Lin Xuan was summarizing his training plan, the core of which was, of course, this instantaneous teleportation.

Ralts simply nodded obediently. Although she didn't quite understand, she just felt that it was really amazing.

Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic couldn't help but lie down on the side.

According to Lin Xuan's description, using teleportation to get behind the opponent and then using a skill like Iai Slash to instantly knock them down should be a very cool combo, but coming from Lin Xuan's mouth, it just sounds so... sleazy?

But Lin Xuan didn't care about any of that. Practical tactics are the best tactics. Is it shameful to run away when you can't win?

This is called a strategic retreat!

"It's rare to have a new member in the family, so I'll cook for you today! I learned a few new dishes from the professor yesterday!"

Lin Xuan stood up with great confidence.

"Russ~"

Ralts clapped its hands happily, seemingly also eager to eat the meal Lin Xuan had prepared.

As for the little dot and Eevee on the other side, their faces turned deathly pale instantly.

Lin Xuan's cooking skills are not bad, they are at the average level of a normal human male... limited to simple dishes such as stir-fried potato slices and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Don't ask why it's not shredded potatoes, the answer is that Lin Xuan doesn't know how to cut them.

But once she learns a new cuisine online, Lin Xuan can miraculously make dishes so bad they make you feel like you're in hell.

In Xiaodian and Yibu's opinion, Lin Xuan seems not to realize one thing: the reason why cooking videos on the Internet look delicious is not because the dishes are easy to make, but because the people who make them know how to cook!

"Boy!"

"Dandan!"

Ibrahimovic and Little Point each grabbed one of Lin Xuan's legs, determined not to let him into the kitchen.

"Is it really that bad? I don't think my cola chicken wings were this bad last time, were they?"

Lin Xuan's face darkened as he watched the two little ones' actions. What did they mean by this? Were they looking down on his cooking skills?

"Dandan..."

Xiao Dian raised her head and explained calmly.

Cola chicken wings are fine, but could you please not use cherry-flavored cola?

"Tsk, I just grabbed it without thinking. Who knows why there aren't any blue bottles downstairs today? I don't usually drink that stuff." Lin Xuan muttered to herself. Although she knew cherry-flavored cola was hard to drink, she figured it was just cooking anyway, so it would probably be the same no matter what she poured into the pot.

"Sigh, never mind, I'll just order takeout."

Seeing the reactions of the two Eevee dogs and the little one, Lin Xuan's good mood vanished, and she decided to just order takeout.

"Ralts, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"Russ~"

[Whatever~]

Ralts tilted her head and answered.

Lin Xuan: ...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The next day arrived, which was the day of the finals of the Huaxia Championship.

Lin Xuan did not follow the usual civil servant style today, but instead turned on the live broadcast room early.

"Hello, are you there? Are you there?"

Yes, yes, yes!

[A civil servant in the commentary world has started broadcasting ahead of schedule?]

[Zhong is definitely the more popular player.]

[Can Teacher Mimikyu heal the opponent today?]

"Ahem, as a commentator and streamer, I always maintain a neutral stance and will never favor any player!" Lin Xuan said righteously, but the viewers in the live stream didn't believe a word he said.

"Thank you so much for the Super SC from Alola Flying Groudon! [Celebrating Mimikyu's early broadcast! Although the Super SC is only 30 yen, my love for you is 100%!]"

Lin Xuan: ...

Lin Xuan fell silent immediately after reading SC. Why did that sentence sound so familiar?

"You stole my work, didn't you?"

Lin Xuan said through gritted teeth.

【Ha ha ha ha! 】

[Has even the Mimikyu-sensei had her day?]

Isn't this something someone said yesterday?

"Let's talk about something. How about you give me a 100 out of 100 SC rating? Even if my love for you is only 30 points, it doesn't matter," Lin Xuan said painfully.

[The Mystery of Greed and Delusion]

Even though I only gave you a little flower, my love for you is still 100%!

"Oh, by the way, I'd like to introduce you to a new member of my family today!"

Lin Xuan started her broadcast early partly because of this matter. After saying that, she got up and left the room.

【? ? ? 】

[Has Mimikyu-sensei found something adorable?]

Do you believe it?

Although Mimikyu-sensei is very good-looking, well, that mouth of hers...

If Mr. Mimikyu were mute, finding a girlfriend would probably be quite easy for him.

It's just that Lin Xuan had just left the room and didn't see these comments, otherwise she would have definitely had a fierce online battle with them.

Not long after Lin Xuan left, he carried Ralts into the room, and the viewers in the live stream started sending greetings in unison.

Is Mimikyu-sensei really going to raise Gardevoir?

Ralts! So cute!

【Kawaii!】

"Come on, Ralts, say hello to everyone!"

"Russ~"

Ralts's cry instantly melted the hearts of everyone in the live stream; the last one to receive such treatment was Eevee.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing, our Ralts is a boy," Lin Xuan said calmly.

【! ! ! 】

[So cute, but he's a boy!]

So, is Mimikyu planning to evolve into Gallade?

Although male Ralts can evolve into Gardevoir, Gardevoir's appearance is too feminine, so most male Ralts will choose to evolve into Gallade.

While Gallade's popularity doesn't quite match Gardevoir's, it's still a very popular Pokémon. Among the many Fighting-type Pokémon, its popularity is probably only slightly less than Lucario and Blaziken.

"Alright Ralts, you can go out and play now." After a brief introduction, Lin Xuan put Ralts down and let him go out to play with Little Point and Eevee.
