Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Russ~"

Ralts placed her hand on Lin Xuan's phone, seemingly wanting to borrow it.

"Remember to message me if anyone sends me a message!"

"Ruth!"

Ralts nodded and then instantly teleported away from the room.

"Ha~ Much better behaved than Tiny and Eevee, I've finally caught a normal Pokémon."

Seeing Ralts obediently leave, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh again.

[Ibrahimovic: That's not what you said back then!]

So love will disappear, right?

Love doesn't disappear, it just moves on.

I think Ralts will eventually be corrupted by Tiny and Eevee.

Why wasn't it Mimikyu-sensei who led them astray?

[The root cause is still Mimikyu-sensei, so my suggestion is to raise Ralts for me, doge]

[Don't just drink, eat some food!]

Come on, let's get some cephalosporin.

"Okay, okay, let's watch the game!"

Although the time hadn't come yet, Lin Xuan was the first to click into the live stream.

Six Poké Balls and the avatars of the two players have already appeared at the top of the live broadcast of the match. The Pokémon used by both players are not yet revealed and will only be confirmed when all the Poké Balls are opened.

Lin Xuan was naturally aware of Zhong Mingyi's Pokémon, and four of the opponent's Pokémon had already been used previously: Flygon, Altaria, Charizard, and Gyarados.

"This player seems to be an expert in dragon-type creatures... so is he really not considering catching another tropical dragon?"

Lin Xuan glanced at the opposing team's lineup and couldn't help but say something.

【Dragon-type starter Pokémon】

Is a fire-breathing dragon considered a dragon?

It is indeed very rare to have a team that includes Garchomp, a Dragon-type traitor, and two Dragon-type starter Pokémon.

However, Lin Xuan knew more about this player than many viewers in the live stream. He knew that the player came from the Yulong family, which meant that although the two Charizards and Gyarados did not have Dragon-type blood, they likely had strong Dragon-type bloodlines.

Joking aside, it's still something we should take seriously.

Time passed by second by second, and the time for the final was fast approaching.

Because it was the final match, the official broadcast unusually showed the two players entering the arena separately, with the two walking together to the center of the field.

The cheers from the audience were palpable even before the live broadcast, indicating that this was a completely different level of competition from the college leagues Lin Xuan had previously participated in.

"Game start!"

With the referee's whistle, the Huaxia Championship finally came to its final battle!

Chapter 155 The Finals End

"The match begins. The opponent's first Pokémon is Charizard, one of the three Dragon-type starter Pokémon, while our player Xiao Zhong has sent out a pseudo-legendary Pokémon that hasn't been used before—Dragonite!"

"Moreover, this Dragonite's strength isn't just that of an ordinary four-star; it's practically a five-star! Let Charizard see what a true Dragon-type is all about!"

[Charizard: Are you being polite?]

[Does this feel like something you expected?]

[Just kidding, our Mimikyu teacher is Xiao Zhong's strategist!]

The suggestion to have Dragonite go first was naturally made by Lin Xuan. Of the four Pokémon that Zhong Mingyi had already revealed, although their individual strengths were not much different, they were all at a disadvantage against Charizard in terms of type.

In this situation, there is a high probability that the opponent will use Charizard. Firstly, Dragonite is not afraid of Charizard in terms of type, and secondly, Dragonite is also the second strongest Pokémon in Zhong Ming's hand, second only to his last trump card, so its strength is quite terrifying.

While the phrase "halfway to five stars" is somewhat of a joke, it is indeed true to some extent. Zhong Mingyi's Dragonite is actually not far from officially upgrading to five stars.

Furthermore, Dragon-type Pokémon have a rock-paper-scissors relationship with each other. Since the opponent is a Dragon-type Pokémon family, their Pokémon must mainly be Dragon-type. Therefore, using Dragonite seems like a good choice.

"Facing Dragonite, the opposing player did not choose to switch out because most of his subsequent Pokémon are likely to be Dragon-type. In battles between Dragon-type Pokémon, the difference between going first and going second is huge. If Charizard switches out, Dragonite will definitely take the opportunity to use Dragon Dance, which will put the opponent in great danger. Therefore, Charizard directly chose to use Sunny Day!"

"With the use of Sunny Day, this Charizard's ability is quite obvious: an extremely powerful Sunny Day team ability, Solar Power!"

"While Xiao Zhong's Dragonite used Dragon Dance! Both players boosted their stats simultaneously, but it seems Dragonite had a slight edge, quickly ending Dragon Dance and heading towards Charizard!"

As Dragonite sped forward, its body was enveloped in a white light—Godspeed!

"Even if Charizard's output can reach the level of Dragonite under sunny weather, all creatures are equal under Extreme Speed! Not to mention Extreme Speed ​​after Dragon Dance."

Electric current rapidly gathered in Dragonite's hands, or rather, it appeared all over its body. If someone didn't know better, they might mistakenly think that this Dragonite was an Electric-type.

"Dragonite used Thunder Punch directly, and perhaps due to the excessive current combined with Extreme Speed, the powerful current completely covered Dragonite's body... Is this definitely Thunder Punch and not a Volt Tackle attack?"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but question it.

【Reported! Reported! 】

[Shocking! Renowned tournament player Zhong Mingyi openly cheated in the finals...]

[Those who were previously mentioned can now report to the advertising department.]

"Charizard also used Dragon Pulse directly. Don't underestimate Charizard just because it's not a Dragon-type. With the power of the Sun in a sunny day, Charizard's output is terrifyingly high. And... this Charizard seems to be carrying a Life Orb?"

Charizard with Life Orb is the most reckless fighting style, because the Solar Power ability itself consumes extra stamina to enhance burst damage. With the powerful combination of this ability and Life Orb, Charizard's stamina is rapidly reduced every time it uses an attack.

It's one of the most reckless ways to fight Charizard, but it's also the strongest and most violent.

"Faced with Charizard's Dragon Pulse, Dragonite immediately chose Thunder Punch to meet it!"

Then the audience saw a beam of electricity swiftly pierce through Charizard's attack and arrive close, punching Charizard directly in the abdomen, unleashing a powerful surge of electricity.

[Holy crap, a powerful attack from a dragon?]

[Xiao Zhong is amazing!]

But is it profitable this way?

But Lin Xuan simply said calmly, "Look closely at the surface of Dragonite's body."

Sure enough, the director zoomed in on Dragonite's body at that moment. Despite having taken a hit from Charizard's Dragon Pulse, it looked like it wasn't injured at all.

However, a more observant person could have noticed that just moments ago, the scales on the side of Dragonite's body shimmered with colorful light, which then quickly dissipated.

"Multiscales! A unique ability of the Dragonite family that reduces damage from all moves!"

Lin Xuan's statement is not entirely accurate, because there is another Pokémon that also has this characteristic, but it is slightly special and therefore overlooked. That Pokémon is the sea god that is on par with Ho-Oh – Lugia!

Dragonite has always been known as the messenger of the sea, and its ability is the same as Lugia's Multiscale. Lin Xuan doesn't believe that there is no connection between the two.

Charizard was punched to the ground by Dragonite and had no chance to fight back.

At the competition venue, Zhong Mingyi still maintained a nonchalant expression, while his opponent, Long Tianyun, was in a much worse mood, looking solemn. After all, he was from the Yulong family, yet he had been beaten so badly by a dragon-type spirit.

A flash of red light, and Charizard was returned to its Poké Ball; another Pokémon appeared!

"Roar!"

Salamence spread its blood-red wings and roared at Dragonite, displaying its dominance as the ruler of the skies.

"Salamander, one of the pseudo-legendary dragons on par with Dragonite!"

Coincidentally, both Dragonite and Salamence have Dragon and Flying attributes, and even the moves they can learn are very similar.

"However, even with Salamence on the opposing team, Dragonite still has the advantage, after all, the Dragon Dance it just used wasn't for nothing!"

Wow, this is exciting right from the start?

Shouldn't this kind of showdown be the grand finale?

[Two pseudo-legendary characters fighting each other at the start? Are you kidding me?]

Is this the world of the strong?

Dragonite is Zhong Ming's second strongest Pokémon, while his opponent's Salamence, as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, is no weakling either. This is indeed an unexpected duel.

But Lin Xuan had exceptional confidence in Dragonite; after all, he had inside information.

"How long do you think it will take for Dragonite to defeat this Salamence?"

Lin Xuan said without any attempt to hide her feelings.

【? ? ? 】

Are you really that confident in Xiao Zhong?

What inside information do you have this time?!

Tell me quickly!

"Tsk, just watch!" Lin Xuan said without explicitly stating anything.

"When Salamence entered the battle, it only used a probing attack first, Dragon Pulse, while Dragonite used Extreme Speed ​​to dodge and circled around to Salamence's side, and then—Outrage!"

Salamence reacted very quickly. The moment it saw Dragonite approaching, it immediately abandoned its original idea of ​​testing the waters and unleashed a Meteor Shower, directly targeting Dragonite's location.
