Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Little Dot angrily leaped up, while Eevee, having anticipated this, ran away. Ralts could only chase after them with Teleport, too worried to get too close.

"Russ~"

Please stop fighting!

The three boys weren't really concerned about the competition. Firstly, it wasn't their competition, so they didn't have to play. If Lin Xuan lost, they would have a chance to go up and mock him.

Secondly... they didn't believe that their elves could lose under Lin Xuan's command; that would be too pathetic.

Ignoring Ibu and his team, as the battle was about to begin, Lin Xuan chatted briefly with the opposing coach. Given the current situation, it seemed that their two teams would be participating in the gym battle, and regardless of the outcome, they would be going together, so they naturally had to be polite.

Lin Xuan sent out Nightshade, while the opponent sent out Floatball. The opponent was obviously thinking of strengthening and passing with the wind, but Lin Xuan guessed the opponent's idea and did not give the opponent that opportunity.

"Alright, just kill them!"

Wang Dongcheng, standing on the sidelines, made no attempt to hide his smile, feeling that he had to set a good example for his teammates.

But compared to the ease with which Wandering Night Spirits moved, their opponents had it much harder.

Under Dusty Ranger's suppression, the Float Ball couldn't even fly. The Float Ball's trainer seemed to lack experience, as after activating Tailwind, he kept using the Shrink move, seemingly forgetting that this was a gravity field!

Even after shrinking, the Floatball couldn't dodge the Night Spirit's attacks. It didn't even have time to use its Connecting Rod skill before the Night Spirit's Shadow Sneak Attack interrupted it.

At the last moment, the floating ball seemed unable to hold on any longer and chose to die as well.

The effect of the Fate Bond skill is extremely powerful. It binds the life of the user and the opponent together for a short period of time. Once the user falls, the opponent will also fall, regardless of other factors.

However, such a powerful skill also has obvious problems. Using Destiny Bond to bind yourself and your opponent together requires a lot of skill, and it can be easily interrupted by the slightest disturbance, not to mention the already very weak Float Ball.

Moreover, all the Night Spirit needs to do at this time is not to use attack skills, and wait for the effect of Destiny to wear off, and everything will be fine.

The skill "Shared Fate" is difficult to execute and has a very short duration, often only a few seconds. In most cases, it can only be effective when the opponent throws out an attack skill in preparation for a fatal blow.

Given that Lin Xuan already knew that the opponent had a skill that shared the same fate, wouldn't he remind Wandering Night Spirit and the others to pay attention to this?

Therefore, the next action of the Wandering Night Spirit is—

Under Wang Dongcheng's command, Wandering Night Spirit launched another shadow attack without hesitation, taking down Floating Ball's head, but was also taken down by Tong Ming.

Seeing this, the trainer on the other side, who was using a Float Ball, was stunned. How could this possibly succeed?

They all assumed the floating ball could only be given away, but who knew it could take one away before it fell.

Coach Yan Hai thought for a moment and realized that the Dusknoir trainer's decisive use of the move clearly indicated that he was completely unprepared for the Destiny Bond move.

Thinking of this, Yan Hai couldn't help but shake his head. He had thought Lin Xuan's team was very strong before, but now it seemed that they were still too young.

But when Yan Hai looked up and saw the other side, he was immediately dumbfounded.

No, you guys lost one of your teammates in this situation, how come you still look so happy? If it were him, he would have started cursing by now.

"Teacher Mimi Qiu is incredibly prescient!"

"We are indeed of the same fate."

"Isn't it because I caught it well?" Wang Dongcheng said proudly, as if it were something remarkable.

"Well done." Lin Xuan nodded as well; everything was going according to plan.

Yan Hai stood there stunned for a moment. In this day and age, can you still be praised for giving away your life?

In reality, Lin Xuan's reason for sending Dusknoir to feed the Floatball was quite simple: in order to make the most of the tailwind, the opponent would definitely send out a Scyther as their second Pokémon, otherwise it would be pointless.

This Scyther possesses two boosting moves, Swords Dance and Agility. Even with gravity, Scyther's speed is far superior to that of the Float. Dusknoir staying on the field would most likely only give the opponent's Scyther a boost, making it far better to simply retreat.

While Yan Hai was in a daze, their team's Scyther also entered the arena. It was quite rare for a female trainer to be Scyther, since it's not common for starter Pokémon to be Scyther; most trainers are wealthy.

These rich second-generation girls generally prefer those with high looks, like Eevee. After the discovery and announcement of Espeon and Umbreon, the popularity of Eevee soared again, and now the price of an Eevee egg has increased by at least 20% to 30% compared to before.

But none of that mattered to Lin Xuan. Pretty young lady? I'll beat you up!

If Lin Xuan's reaction to Dusknoir's "suicide" had puzzled him, the Bulbasaur he was now sending out had left him completely baffled.

Even Tian Ji's horse racing strategy isn't played like this, is it? We're using a war of attrition!

Yan Hai knew, of course, that compared to their strongest Pokémon, Scyther, this Bulbasaur was practically the weakest of all the opposing Pokémon.

When Scyther saw the Bulbasaur on the other side, it immediately turned its head away in disdain. This little guy was not enough for it to fight. Wasn't this just feeding the enemy?

"seed!"

When Bulbasaur saw Scyther, it took two steps back and shrank its head in fear, but then it remembered Eevee's instructions... and became even more scared!

"Bulbasaur! Believe in yourself! You can do it!"

Xu Jia, who had just been brainwashed by Lin Xuan's victory, began to feel confident and even started encouraging Bulbasaur.

"The gap in strength cannot be bridged by just a few simple words."

Yan Hai shook his head. In his opinion, the bond between Pokémon and their trainers was important, but strength and tactics were even more important. Clearly, he had the advantage in both of these aspects.

This is a matchup between the Flying Mantis and the Garlic Turtle, and the advantage is on my side!

At the start of the match, Bulbasaur immediately used Sleep Powder and Paralysis Powder, but this was meaningless to the Scyther trainer, not to mention that he had Tailwind on his side. Could your powder even reach them?

Especially from Scyther's perspective, this Bulbasaur wasn't very skilled at using its Sleep Powder move, and actually threw it in the wrong direction, completely bypassing Scyther.

The Scyther trainer was stunned for a moment when he saw this, but he also felt that this was likely a mistake by the opponent and that he had to press his advantage.

Scyther used High Speed ​​Boost, accelerating towards Bulbasaur. Its flapping wings, combined with the tailwind behind it, blew away any Hypnosis Powder that came near it, posing no threat whatsoever.

Won!

This idea came to the minds of Yan Hai and the Scyther trainer.

Even if the tailwind effect doesn't last long, once the tailwind is over, Scyther will still have a speed advantage thanks to its high-speed movement, and can still take down an enemy in one hit.

However, neither Scyther nor his trainer saw that the sleep powder, which Bulbasaur had originally scattered to the side, slowly gathered behind Scyther as the airflow surged.

Faced with the approaching Scyther, Bulbasaur could only use Vine Whip to pry its body and try its best to dodge, while simultaneously scattering several Leech Seeds. Regardless of whether they hit or not, just scattering one would be a huge win.

But all of this was useless against the Scyther's overwhelming strength. It immediately swung its scythes and sliced ​​the flying seed in half without causing any damage.

At the same time, he used a combo attack while getting close to Bulbasaur.

The skill "Chain Slash" becomes stronger with each use. Its initial power is only 40 points, but it reaches 80 points on the second use, and a terrifying 160 points on the third use.

Compared to skills like rolling, it has a lower ceiling, but it is more controllable. The only thing to mention is the common problem with these skills – the initial damage is too low, and you can only increase it by using it continuously. You can't stop, otherwise it will reset.

But don't forget what Scyther's characteristics are: a master of technique!

This is equivalent to the power increasing from 40 to 60 at the beginning, a qualitative leap.

Scyther intended to just keep cutting through the remaining battles, relying on its immense power and STAB moves with a power of 160. It didn't believe any Pokémon could stop it.

The first combo hit Bulbasaur successfully. Fortunately, even with the help of a skilled player, the power of the first attack wasn't enough to instantly kill Bulbasaur; it only sent him flying.

Just as Scyther was about to give chase, it heard the trainer's voice behind it.

"Scyther, get out of the way!"

Scyther was completely bewildered. "I already knocked my opponent away, why do you want me to dodge?"

"The hypnotic powder behind you!"

Bulbasaur's Sleep Powder had already reached Scyther's back by this time, and it's important to know that the tailwind behind Scyther is blowing in front of him, which means...

Call ~

The hypnotic powder, which had been drifting slowly, surged toward him like a madman with the help of the Scyther's tailwind, covering him in an instant.

"Is this the legendary Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?"

Seeing Lin Xuan achieve remarkable results by using the opponent's skills, Fang Jiangyi couldn't help but blurt out a witty remark.

"No, no, no~" Lin Xuan waved his finger arrogantly, "This is called a strategy of using one tiger to devour another. Let's use you to fight him!"

The scyther, covered in a large amount of hypnotic powder, took a big gulp with the help of the tailwind, almost choking, and then immediately fell asleep.

Yan Hai was completely bewildered, never expecting this to happen, but he then secretly comforted himself.

It's alright. With Bulbasaur's strength, even if Scyther is asleep, he can't do anything.

Then Bulbasaur released its Leech Seeds.

Yan Hai: It's okay, suck it all you want. When the Flying Mantis wakes up, it'll cut you down with one slash.

Bulbasaur used Tackle.

Yan Hai: I want to laugh. Your impact... um?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Bulbasaur, who was running and scattering Leech Seeds, crashed headfirst into Scyther. Scyther's body remained motionless, while Bulbasaur used Vine Whip to slap the ground and flew backward, seemingly just to make its posture look cooler, flipping 720 degrees in the air.

Then he landed, and while his landing posture wasn't exactly the same as Ibrahimovic's, it was practically identical.

Splat~

"seed!"

[Ah! I'm dead!]

"Wow... Bulbasaur has lost its ability to battle!"

"Very good, excellent learning ability." Lin Xuan watched this scene from the side and nodded with great satisfaction.
