Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"The competition is about to begin, let's look forward to the performance of the two players!"

Almost at the same time Ren Shi said those words, Lin Xuan and Ma Yu simultaneously released their spirits.

Lin Xuan naturally sent out Kirlia, while the Pokémon on the other side was a Staraptor. If there was anything to be thankful for, it was that this Staraptor didn't have the Intimidate ability, but rather the rarer Sacrifice ability.

While Staraptor does possess the powerful Brave Bird and Suicide Slam, it's not as useful as Intimidate.

Kirlia!

This is the first time I've seen Kirlia play in a match!

[Why does this evoke such a touching feeling as a father?]

[Mimikyu: If anyone should be called the old father, it should be me, right?]

[Wrong! Kirlia cooks all of Mimikyu's meals, so it's obvious who the father is, right?]

The opponents are quite strong. After all, the players who can participate in this competition will send out main Pokémon that are at least two stars, and there are many players with three-star Pokémon. I haven't heard of any four-star Pokémon yet, but I can't rule out that possibility.

So Lin Xuanshi wasn't really hoping for much; he just wanted to make it into the top 32 and get some prize money. He also wanted to go out and have some fun these next few days, treating it as a paid vacation.

After all, although Xiaodian's strength allows him to challenge three-star Pokémon of higher levels, he can only fight relatively average ones. For example, the Espeon that Gu Yuan gave to Lin Xuan, Xiaodian tried to challenge it back in his hometown, but was beaten so badly by the psychic power that he lost his bearings.

In the end, I could only find an excuse to send Ibrahimovic out to fight. Since it was Ibrahimovic anyway, beating him would mean winning half the battle!

"Use Brave Bird for a fierce attack!"

Without holding back at all, Staraptor launched its fiercest attack on Kirlia right from the start, beginning with a powerful Flying-type move.

"Starhawk launched its strongest attack right away, it seems to be very confident in itself. And Starhawk's speed is indeed very fast, it's about to reach Kirlia, but for some reason, our Lin Xuan hasn't reacted yet!"

Ren Shi said with some doubt, "In a way, Lin Xuan is also his colleague. He knows a lot about Lin Xuan. I don't think he didn't react. His first reaction was that Lin Xuan was going to play some trick again."

[I bet ten packs of spicy strips that Mimicry Teacher wins this match!]

I have a Swiss bank draft here, worth three thousand popping candies. I'll bet you! All in!

【You say three thousand, so it's three thousand?】

Are you deliberately picking a fight? Just tell me if you're going to bet or not.

However, for viewers who are used to Lin Xuan's style, seeing this expression on his face basically means he has no chance of losing.

Lin Xuan slowly gave the order when the Mk Eagle was very close.

"Lightning Fist".

"Qilu!"

Just as Staraptor swooped down and was about to attack Kirlia, it teleported directly behind him. Staraptor was stunned for a moment when it saw its enemy suddenly disappear. But how could a powerful move like Brave Bird Slam be stopped at will? It crashed directly into the ground.

Of course, Kirlia also helped out, throwing a punch at him from behind and then quickly followed up with an Ice Punch with her left fist, making Starhawk even deeper.

This scene left everyone stunned, even Ren Shi was taken aback, never expecting that the seemingly gentle Kirlia could be so violent in battle.

[Holy crap, is that Kirlia?]

What did Teacher Mimikyu do?

Is this a race towards becoming a muscular man?

I vaguely remember what Kirlia looked like when she was still Ralts. When did she turn into this?

[That's a question for Teacher Mi Ni Qiu.]

Poor Starhawk, he was half-buried in the ground as soon as he entered the arena.

[Truly half-buried in the ground]

After being knocked down, Starhawk did not immediately lose its ability to fight. Instead, it struggled in the ground, trying to fly again. Then Kirlia sat on it and delivered another series of punches.

Soon the Hawk stopped moving.

"The Starhawk is incapacitated!"

Upon hearing the referee's announcement, Kirlia seemed to snap out of a daze for a moment, then quickly teleported off Staraptor and carefully stood to the side, completely unrecognizable as the one who had just knocked Staraptor down with a few punches, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

"Kiru~"

Kirlia blinked innocently at the camera, as if she had just used a little too much force.

Chapter 199: Killing someone doesn't mean destroying their spirit.

[Kirlian's aura seems to be starting to resemble that of Mimikyu...]

[No matter how you look at it, it's all Mimikyu-sensei's fault!]

The contestant standing opposite Lin Xuan widened his eyes in disbelief.

Although he knew Lin Xuan's reputation and felt that his chances of winning against Lin Xuan were not very high, the way Starhawk was beaten down by Kirlia's wild punches was a loss he never expected.

Even being defeated by Kirlia using a move like Psychic would be better than losing like this, right? Is your Kirlia perhaps equipped with the Huge Power ability?

Although his mind was a bit blank and he was a little flustered, the competition had to continue. At the referee's signal, Ma Yu finally came to his senses and released his second Pokémon.

Geranium is a notorious character among the starter family... notoriously bad.

The second-generation starter Pokémon can basically be considered the weakest of all the starter Pokémon in history, and Geranium is the weakest of this generation.

Speaking of Typhlosion, at least it can breathe fire, and Feraligatr can forcefully add Dragon Dance, so its output capability is explosive in a minute. As for Meganium... is there anything that other Pokémon can't replace? It seems there really isn't.

Of course, no matter how much it is criticized, it is still one of the starter Pokémon, so its potential is naturally not weak. Lin Xuan has to be a little careful when facing it, since this guy's ability is likely to be Overgrow, and he might turn the tables when he is low on health.

"Germania, use parasitic seeds!"

Ma Yu's first thought was to use Leech Seed to restrain Kirlia's movements. After all, even using Instant Transmission wouldn't be able to get rid of Leech Seed, as it can invade a Pokémon's body and absorb energy, making it extremely domineering.

However, it all depends on the parasitic seed hitting the target! If it can't hit, then there's no point in talking about it.

Kirlia used the same trick again, teleporting behind the giant geranium, followed by an Ice Punch and a Lightning Punch. Today it's over.

"Qilu!"

Have you ever seen the Kissing Fist Aikellian? Well, you've seen it today!

It should be said that although the Farmer's Three Punches are a bit weak, they are really useful, and there are almost no attributes that these three punches cannot overcome.

Perhaps because of Staraptor's previous defeat, Ma Yu was somewhat wary of Kirlia's teleportation, so much so that before he appeared, he immediately erected a Reflector behind him to block Kirlia's attack.

However, Reflection Wall cannot maintain such an invincible state; it can only block a portion of the damage. As long as Geranium's skills cannot reach Kirlia, the purpose of doing so is simply to extend the match time slightly.

After seeing the giant geranium take another punch, Ma Yu couldn't sit still any longer. Even with the reflective barrier, it couldn't withstand being hit like that! He immediately had the giant geranium use poison powder.

"Clearly, Kirlia's powerful attack startled Ma Yu. Even with Reflect, he wasn't at ease and immediately had Meganium's Poison Powder envelop him. This way, if Kirlia wanted to make contact with him, she would inevitably have to touch the Poison Powder first!"

Ren Shi wiped the sweat from his brow. After all, while Ma Yu had been given a big scare, he, as the commentator, was also quite shaken.

No wonder the organizers didn't invite Lin Xuan to commentate; it would be more entertaining to have him playing the game... In fact, Lin Xuan's very presence is a source of entertainment!

[Teacher Mimi Qiu is awesome!]

[Nonsense, this is clearly all Kirlia's doing, what does it have to do with male viewers?]

Are those in front all planning to betray the organization?

[Yeah, yeah, we promised to cheer on the other side and get Mimikyu-sensei back in the commentary booth as soon as possible, didn't we?]

[I can't help it, but I suddenly feel that Mimikyu is actually kind of cool when he plays in versus mode.]

[Maybe it's because you can't hear his sassy talk at this time!]

Lin Xuan was also helpless at the sight. What was this guy trying to do by wrapping himself up completely with poison powder? Was this giant geranium a tortoise?

However, it must be said that this move is still very useful, after all, Farmer's Three Punches are all contact skills, and Kirlia doesn't know how to hit a cow from across a mountain.

Seeing Lin Xuan's reaction, Ma Yu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his trick had worked, but the next moment his smile vanished.

Sorry, but my Kirlia isn't just good at the Farmer's Three Punches!

The long, narrow shadow stretched from Kirlia's feet to behind the giant geranium, then suddenly burst out and delivered a fatal blow, hitting a vital spot!

"Wait! The situation on the field seems to have changed! Kirlia didn't use any psychic abilities, but instead used a Shadow Sneak Attack to break through Geranium's defenses and hit a vital point, ignoring Geranium's Reflect barrier!"

Ren Shi almost stood up as he watched the scene on the battlefield.

【? ? ? 】

[How could this hit a vital point?]

[Wait a minute, is this really my acquaintance, the Mysterious Hill Teacher?]

[He's cheating! He must be cheating!]

[Where are the organizers?! I want to report this! I suggest a thorough investigation into the contestant's identity; I strongly suspect this person isn't Mimikyu-sensei!]

[Don't be so harsh on us, does using it automatically mean we're cheating?]

Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised by the geranium's reaction, and then quickly realized that Kirlia's attack had hit a vital point. It seemed that her luck was good today.

However, there was no particularly special reaction. After all, to some extent, a prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat. In Pokémon battles, there is no reason to always defend. If you do that, you will eventually be hit in a vital spot and taught a lesson.

The giant geranium let out a cry of pain, and the surrounding poison powder dissipated considerably. Kirlia seized the opportunity and teleported behind him, unleashing another Flame Fist.

The giant geranium fell to the ground. Although it did not lose its ability to fight, since the attack did not hit any vital organs, the surface of the giant geranium's body was charred black, and there were also traces of fire-type energy constantly eroding into it.

Everyone, including Lin Xuan and Ma Yu, knew that this was a burn!
