Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Apart from Lin Xuan's team, everyone, from the referees on one side to the other players and coaches on the other side, was stunned by what they saw.

The Scyther trainer, in particular, was completely dumbfounded.

Your Bulbasaur collided with my Scyther, and then flew off? And got dizzy?

Even when you're trying to scam someone, your blatant attempt to extort money isn't this obvious!

But the referee didn't care about any of that. In his eyes, Bulbasaur was indeed unable to battle. Lin Xuan was also ready in advance. The moment Bulbasaur lay down and the referee announced that the match would continue, he threw out the next Poké Ball.

As expected, it was Chen Shi's rainwing moth.

Once the rainwing moth appeared, it immediately used the patterns on its wings to intimidate the mantis, and this effect was still successful even though the mantis was asleep.

Then the rainwing moth began its butterfly dance without any hesitation.

When the opponent's Pokémon is in this sleep state, the best way to deal with it is not to attack, but to start strengthening on the spot. After all, if you attack directly, you might wake the opponent up.

Especially since the rainwing moth also possesses the skill of butterfly dance, it is naturally not afraid of the flying praying mantis.

After two butterfly dances, the mantis's eyelids began to twitch, clearly indicating that it was about to wake up. At the same time, the rainwing moth began its third butterfly dance.

Over such a long period of time, the Parasitic Seed has absorbed a lot of energy from the Scyther, so it can be said that it has already lost half the battle before it even started.

After the rainwing moth finished its second dance, the flying mantis finally woke up, but by then it seemed to be too late.

Not to mention that the effect of the tailwind has completely worn off, it was also threatened by the rainwing moth while it was asleep, greatly reducing its output ability.

First, he used a sickle to cut the vines spreading from the parasitic seeds on his body. These things not only drained his strength but also affected his movement, which was very annoying.

After freeing itself from the parasitic seeds, the mantis sprang into action. Fortunately, it had a high-speed movement, so the mantis was just as fast as the rainwing moth, and even seemed to have a slight edge.

But is this useful? Obviously not.

Under Lin Xuan's guidance, Chen Shi didn't let the Rainwing Moth use any sticky webs, but instead focused on defeating the Scyther first.

Scyther quickly closed in and used Aerial Ace. As a Flying-type move that Groudon can learn, Aerial Ace has a very low power of only 60, but it is just right for Scyther, perfectly meeting the requirements of a skilled player.

Scyther brandished its scythes directly in front of Rainwingmoth, but Rainwingmoth nimbly dodged them all. Then Rainwingmoth countered with an air slash, which landed perfectly on Scyther.

This was an air slash after three butterfly dances, and its power was quite explosive. Even though Scyther managed to block it with its scythe, it was difficult to withstand and was directly knocked away a long distance.

In terms of sheer strength, Scyther absolutely crushes Mothwing, but the problem is that Mothwing has been buffed three times, and it still has Quiver Dance, which is arguably the strongest buff move among common Pokémon.

Scyther has only used High Speed ​​once, and was even intimidated. How can you compare them?

Scyther, with its extremely fast speed and agile movement, managed to hit Mothra once with its Aerial Ace, but ultimately it was too late and was defeated by Mothra's final Air Slash.

"Scyther is unable to fight!"

As the referee's voice rang out, cheers erupted again from Lin Xuan's team, but this time they were much more arrogant than when Wandering Night Spirit had fallen.

Yan Hai had a bitter expression on his face. He knew that the reason for the loss in this match was not the players' strength, but his tactical arrangements as a coach, which Lin Xuan had completely figured out and countered.

By sacrificing a Dusclops and a Bulbasaur, it defeated the strongest Scyther and laid the most solid foundation for Mothora's strengthening. It can also pass the baton and pass on the damage. How can you beat it?

As for the other players next to him, they could only remain silent, knowing that this match was likely a loss.

And that was indeed the case. When facing Rainwing Moth, they could only send out Corsola, which was its counter. But who knew that Rainwing Moth would pull out its ultimate drain and kill Corsola with just two bites, and even fully restore its original stamina. It got stronger and stronger as the fight went on. How could they possibly win?

The opponent sent out Magneton as their fourth Pokémon, which was a bit of a threat to Mothra, but honestly, it was no problem at all if we really wanted to fight it. After all, Mothra could take a few Thunderbolts after using Quiver Dance three times, but how many Scalds could Magneton take?

However, out of caution, or rather to take care of its brothers who hadn't had a chance to appear yet, Mothra chose to take over and transfer all its abilities to Thunder Beast, which would enter the field later.

Then the situation becomes quite simple.

Does your Magneton have the ability to knock down Raichu? The answer is no. When the dog breathes fire at it, Magneton is almost burned into a lump of coal.

"Me? I haven't even played yet!"

Seeing that there was only one monkey monster left on the other side, Fang Jiangyi, who had been quiet, shouted. He had just realized that his team had been fighting for a long time, but he hadn't been involved at all!

"Ahem, don't worry, don't worry, you'll have your chance to shine~"

Lin Xuan reassured him, "Sure enough, after seeing the last monkey monster, the Thunder Beast immediately used Volt Switch, intending to give Pidgey a chance to appear later, but..."

"The monkey monster has lost its ability to fight!"

"Eh?"

Lin Xuan's smile vanished instantly. The monkey monster was actually killed by Volt's substitution? Dude, you're way too fragile!

Jiang Yi, standing to the side, was also dumbfounded, then felt like crying. There really was no chance for him to play.

Lin Xuan can't be blamed for this; he had planned it all out in advance. But despite his meticulous planning, he overlooked something crucial: who knew that this monkey monster couldn't even withstand a single volt replacement?

Of course, compared to Fang Jiangyi's despair, the people on the other side were truly on the verge of tears.

Damn it, this is so unfair!

Some people even started to regret that they should have gone to Lin Xuan for the assessment in the first place.

Yan Hai sighed. He was indeed outmatched today. He hadn't expected Lin Xuan to have such rich experience at such a young age. It seemed as if Lin Xuan had completely seen through his tactics.

Throughout the entire battle, Yan Hai felt as if everything was under Lin Xuan's control.

So frustrating!

Lin Xuan's team won the match, and naturally, they were invited out for a small meal.

Although the group came from different schools and didn't even know each other before entering the dojo, they gradually became familiar with each other after spending time together and training.

"My dad said everyone can eat whatever they want today, it's on him!"

As soon as Xu Jia arrived at the dinner table, she bluntly said, "Being rich means you can do whatever you want."

After silently sighing, Lin Xuan picked up the menu. He was going to eat his fill today!

Back home, Lin Xuan had barely settled in when she received a call from Zhong Mingyi.

"Congratulations on winning the game."

"It's nothing~ After all, this isn't even an official dojo match," Lin Xuan said modestly, a rare occurrence for him.

"So now I'd like to ask you a question about your team," Zhong Mingyi said directly, without beating around the bush.

"what?"

"You've led a championship team, so you have the right to select members. You can choose any other trainer to join your team, such as that Scyther trainer. In terms of individual strength, he should be the strongest among all the apprentices right now."

"As a backup option?"

"No, replacements? With so many people, where are you going to find backups for you?" Zhong Mingyi said speechlessly.

"Then let's forget about it. I think it's fine as it is now."

Lin Xuan shook his head immediately. Changing members right after winning the competition would be like discarding a used tool after it has served its purpose. Lin Xuan would never do such a thing.

Are dojo battles important?

"Uh... to be honest, it's not that important. Everyone's dojos have just been established. The results of the dojo competition may affect some resource allocation issues, but the overall impact is not significant."

Zhong Mingyi did not hide anything, which was also the reason why he did not attach much importance to this so-called first dojo competition.

"That's fine then. I'll just do my own thing."

Hearing Zhong Mingyi's words, Lin Xuan let it go, at least he didn't have to worry about losing the game and dragging Zhong Mingyi down.

"As long as you're happy."

The two then chatted briefly about other things at the dojo before Zhong Mingyi went about his own business.

Just as Zhong Mingyi hung up the phone, another call came in. Lin Xuan looked at it and saw that it was Gu Yuan again.

"Brother Gu, what's the matter?"

"I had someone review the contract you mentioned. It's fine, and the terms are quite lenient. The only requirement is that you wear their clothes for all important public appearances afterward."

What constitutes an important occasion?

“Provincial-level competitions and those above the provincial level involve not only playing as a player but also serving as a commentator.”

"Gone?"

"And I need you to shoot an advertisement."

"Filming, filming an advertisement?"

Lin Xuan could accept the previous points, but shooting commercials...

"I have no experience!"

"It's alright, they should have experience."

Gu Yuan said without any politeness.

"Hmm... I'll go check out what their clothes are like first?"

To my shame, apart from that hat, Lin Xuan doesn't seem to have bought any other products from this client.

Lin Xuan doesn't care much about his clothes. As long as the clothes, pants, or shoes fit well and are comfortable, that's fine with him. When he was a child, every time his mother asked him to go out to buy clothes, he would make all sorts of excuses to refuse.

"Hey, this one looks nice...why does it look so familiar?"

Lin Xuan stared at the clothes on the screen for a few more moments. Although there were some discrepancies in the details, they still looked very much like the clothes worn by Master Chi.

"Boy!"

Eevee on the side nodded in agreement, mainly because the model also had an Eevee perched on her shoulder, which made her think the model had good taste.
