Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

[Fun fact: Mimikyu-sensei has only had Little Dot for less than two months]

Isn't this just bullying people?

Although many of the fans in Lin Xuan's live stream came later as her fan base grew, there were also quite a few long-time fans who naturally knew some of the details about Xiao Dian.

"I can't participate~" Lin Xuan's tone was filled with deep resentment. "I'm a coach now, my bonus... ugh, I still want to bring glory to our dojo!"

[I heard you, you just want the bonus, right?]

[The character design of Teacher Qiu is solid.]

I knew it all along.

Lin Xuan then began to watch the competition seriously. Although Huada University's results were not bad, they were definitely not good either. Only Cheng Yin and another team member successfully advanced, while the remaining four were eliminated in the group stage.

It's a bit of a shame, but in the youth group competition, CUHK is destined not to reach the level of the previous competition. After all, that can be considered as being forcibly lifted up by Lin Xuan. Although Cheng Yin's strength is also good, it is not to the point of being able to carry the whole game. In the end, it would be good if they could make it into the top 32.

Among the contestants from Imperial University and Shanghai University, there are even several who possess four-star Pokémon, making the difference in strength rather disparate.

After finishing the commentary on the match, Lin Xuan ended the live stream. As soon as he stepped out of the room, he immediately smelled a delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. It was obvious that Ralts had made it. If it were the other two members, Lin Xuan would be worried about whether the kitchen would explode.

After finishing the lunch prepared by Ralts, Lin Xuan removed the forced training device and took Xiao Dian to the research institute for a routine check-up. As for Eevee and Ralts, they were left to stay here and guard the house for the time being.

Using her pass with practiced ease, Lin Xuan opened the door, entered the private room, and immediately began operating the system.

In fact, he didn't need to operate anything. The device was highly intelligent, and Lin Xuan had used it several times in the past few days, so he was naturally familiar with it. After adjusting a few parameters, the check started automatically.

Within minutes, the test results were output from a machine on the side.

"Dandan?" Little Dian curiously leaned over to take a look, only to find that she couldn't understand what was written on it.

"Hmm... the data shows everything is normal. It's about time to take the reagent the doctor gave us earlier." Lin Xuan nodded after reading the data.

The effects of the Awakening Fruit have completely worn off, and it's about time for the reagent made from Zapdos feathers to make its appearance.

However, to be on the safe side, Lin Xuan also showed the data to Dr. Sun Siming.

"That's about it." As he said this, Dr. Sun Siming took out another bottle of reagent from the instrument.

"They're the same, but drink that bottle first to avoid the medicine losing its effectiveness if it takes too long to take effect. After it's all been absorbed by the small tube, then take this bottle."

"about how long?"

Dr. Sun Siming looked at the data and pondered for a while.

"Given Xiaodian's current situation, the cycle will most likely be shorter than before, and Xiaodian herself should be able to feel it clearly."

"I think it's a bit risky..."

Lin Xuan glanced at the little guy next to her, who didn't seem very bright no matter how you looked at it.

"Dandan!" (*￣︿￣)

Whom do you look down on?

Lin Xuan had come all this way to the research institute, so naturally it wasn't just for something trivial; there was also the issue of Eevee's evolution.

To be precise, it's the evolution of Espeon.

"Any progress?"

Since the evolution of Umbreon was discovered, the research institute has been able to focus all its attention on Espeon.

“We have carefully considered the influence of the superpowers you mentioned, but there are still too few Eevee with the ability to control their own power, so the experiment is progressing slowly. Not to mention, the bond between trainers and Pokémon is not so easy to establish.” Dr. Sun Siming shook his head.

Don't be fooled by how quickly Lin Xuan managed to get Eevee to reach the required friendship level for evolution. The main reason for this is probably Lin Xuan's rather unique way of interacting with Eevee. For anyone else, this time would probably have taken twice as long.

Moreover, the research institute has a large number of Pokémon, and the breeders cannot treat each Pokémon with the same meticulous care as Lin Xuan, so the emotional bond required for raising them will naturally take longer.

"Has your Eevee changed at all?"

Lin Xuan's Eevee is highly proficient in psychic abilities, and has naturally become a key subject of observation for the research institute.

"Not yet." Lin Xuan simply shook her head.

"If there is any reaction, let me know immediately."

Chapter 165 A gentleman's word is his bond; even Reggie Elegy can't catch up.

"Ralts, use Teleport."

In the arena of the dojo, Lin Xuan gave instructions to Ralts, who was not far away. On the other side of him was Xu Jia, the new apprentice of the dojo.

Lin Xuan had Bulbasaur and Ralts battle, partly to see what weaknesses Bulbasaur still had, and partly to test the results of Ralts' training over the past few days.

Ralts teleported directly behind Bulbasaur at an extremely fast speed, but Xu Jia also knew that Lin Xuan's Ralts seemed to be somewhat special, with an extraordinary talent for using teleportation, so she made Bulbasaur use Vine Whip in advance.

Bulbasaur's vine whip swept backward, targeting Ralts, which had just teleported. In this situation, not to mention Ralts, even stronger Pokémon would have difficulty dodging, leaving only the option of using a move to counterattack.

But remember, Lin Xuan's Ralts is no ordinary Ralts!

Ralts used Teleport again in a very short time, arriving on the other side of Bulbasaur.

Lin Xuan had already tested it. For Ralts at the moment, it was feasible to use Teleport multiple times in a short period of time, but for now it could only do it twice. If it did more, Ralts' body would not be able to handle it, and it would need to slow down.

Even so, it is still extremely terrifying.

Imagine this: in the middle of a fierce battle, your opponent's Pokémon suddenly teleports behind you, and you predict it and think you've blocked it. Just as you're feeling smug, your opponent teleports again and predicts your prediction.

Lin Xuan originally wanted Ralts to use Shadow Sneak Attack, since although a week had passed since Ralts learned Ice Punch, it was still a bit lacking and she couldn't fully master it.

But at this moment, Ralts did not immediately carry out Lin Xuan's order. After a brief hesitation, it moved closer to some Bulbasaur again, its thin arms leaning back slightly, and a trace of cold air emanating from its small fists.

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment when she saw it, and then she was overjoyed. Had Ralts finally mastered Ice Fist?

Ralts' Ice Punch struck Bulbasaur directly, instantly sending it flying. There were faint signs of frostbite on its body.

Even though Ralts has only just begun to master it, it is still a type advantage.

"Aaaaaah~ I'm no match for you at all! Mimikyu-sensei, your Ralts even knows Ice Punch! How am I supposed to fight this?"

Xu Jia complained for a moment before exclaiming, "I saw how strong Lin Xuan's Eevee was before, and this Ralts must have only been caught a few days ago. I was originally thinking that we could fight it, but who knew that it couldn't even touch it under Teleport."

Not to mention that he later used Ice Punch, which is effective against Bulbasaur.

Xu Jia: My mentality collapsed.

"Ahem, your Bulbasaur is quite strong, and its Vine Whip control is also very good. You can focus more on physical training in the future, as this seems to be its weakness. Besides that, there's Leech Seed, which can be used in combination with Poison Powder for amazing results. As for attack moves, I still recommend Razor Leaf. It's powerful and also an AOE move, so you don't have to worry too much about missing."

Lin Xuan's main goal was to train them, so he quickly offered his suggestions.

"Mhm." Xu Jia nodded, still trusting Lin Xuan's guidance.

Xu Jia's strength is probably the weakest among the five people Lin Xuan brought, but it doesn't matter, because Bulbasaur hasn't evolved yet, but it should be soon. Once Bulbasaur successfully evolves, its strength will experience a period of rapid growth.

Over the past few days, Lin Xuan has also obtained the specific requirements for the dojo competition from Zhong Mingyi.

Lin Xuan originally thought that the dojo competition would be an individual competition similar to the college league, but the result was somewhat unexpected; it was a team competition.

Because there are not many dojos that have been opened so far, each dojo can send out two teams, namely Team One and Team Two, with each team consisting of five people.

It's worth mentioning that gym battles are not commercial competitions; they are more of an official league test of the strength of each gym, so they are not broadcast live.

After all, these novice trainers are only so-so in terms of strength and have few battles, so there is really no need to build a large arena.

Lin Xuan's plan to commentate on matches while leading the team is likely to fall through.

However, although there's no live stream, the recordings should still be playable, and I might be able to pull them out and explain them later.

Lin Xuan checked the training progress of the others and was generally satisfied. Finally, she called Chen Shi over separately.

"Mr. Mimiu, is there something you need?"

Chen Shi wasn't a fan of Lin Xuan at first, but since the others called him that, he just started calling him that too. He even watched Lin Xuan's live stream and previous videos after he got back, and then he became completely obsessed.

If it had been a few days ago, and Lin Xuan had called her that alone, she might have had some girlish thoughts. But after spending a few days together, she realized that Lin Xuan had a handsome face, but was essentially a super straight man.

Then, with great self-awareness, she abandoned those unrealistic ideas.

"How's your rainwing moth's sticky web training going?"

Lin Xuan didn't shy away from asking the questions from the people around her.

Gym battles are team competitions, with each team engaging in 5v5 battles. Switching Pokémon is not allowed during the battle, but the choice of which Pokémon to take over after a Pokémon is defeated is up to the coach.

Under these competition rules, Rainwing Moth becomes a very important Pokémon because it possesses a skill... Sticky Web!

It can slow down the opponent's Pokémon when they switch in, and as long as the Sticky Net is still active, it can create a huge speed advantage for your team.

Furthermore, although the rules of the competition do not allow switching Pokémon, the effects of special moves are an exception, such as moves like Fortnite, U-turn, and Baton Pass, as well as... Baton Pass!

It's important to know that while Mothrope has many disadvantages as a Bug-type Pokémon, it also has a huge advantage... it can learn Quiver Dance! Moreover, it has Quiver Dance by default and doesn't need to learn it separately.

With Butterfly Dance and Baton Pass, when your stamina is almost depleted, use Baton Pass to transfer all the buffs to your teammates and continue to expand your advantage.

When combined with a sticky net, the effect will be absolutely terrifying.

"It should be fine." Chen Shi nodded, and then released the rainwing moth to demonstrate its skills, such as the sticky web, to Lin Xuan.

"That's good, but the only problem with this approach might be that your Rainwing Moth won't be as eye-catching in the game."

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up after seeing the performance of the Rainwing Moth. The AI ​​said that although Bug-type Pokémon generally have a lower potential, their growth rate in the early stages is far superior to other Pokémon.

However, the problems were still explained to Chen Shi, because the rain wing moth had too many tasks to perform during the competition, such as spreading sticky webs, performing butterfly dances, and relaying batons. It would be difficult to find an opportunity for the rain wing moth to break through the opponent head-on, and more of the intelligence would be left to its teammates.

In this way, the rainwing moth, which may have been the biggest contributor, performed less impressively than its teammates who came later.
