Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Ah... I guess we can only ask Mr. Mystic.

The viewers in the live chat and the chat group were all discussing one question: just how strong is Xiaodian? After all, Xiaodian's last match was against Shanghai University, but he obviously hadn't shown his full strength yet.

People are always curious about the unknown, and many people have started to speculate about Xiao Dian's strength.

Lin Xuan, however, was unaware of this matter, or rather, even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. At this moment, he was on his way back to the hotel.

With two consecutive wins in the group stage, he has essentially advanced to the next round. He will no longer be involved in the matches in other groups or the loser's bracket. This rest period will last for almost a week, which will give him a good opportunity to commentate on the matches.

Unfortunately, I may have very few opportunities to appear as a mystery player.

Lin Xuan looked at his phone and thought to himself, while he received congratulatory messages from Cheng Yin and others.

The students from Huada University have a group chat, and the group owner is Cheng Yin. She just sent out a red envelope, and Lin Xuan grabbed 1.23 yuan.

Then Lin Xuan learned a little more about the other two Huada students who competed this morning. Both of them were defeated in the first round. Although there was a loser's bracket afterward, they knew that they would most likely be eliminated in the first round.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

That afternoon, seeing that the group stage was about to begin, Lin Xuan immediately turned on the live stream.

[Win a little, broadcast a little]

As soon as Lin Xuan started her live stream, she immediately received many gifts.

"Thanks to the fan-wielding SC—[Congratulations to the streamer on winning the group stage! Although the SC is only 30 yuan, my love for you is 100%!] Streamer, please don't bring up this old trick anymore..."

"Thanks to Fran (Da's SC - [I'd like to ask the streamer to ask the mystery player what their thoughts are on winning the match?] The mystery player said, 'I was just lucky.'"

This wasn't Lin Xuan being modest; rather, he was indeed quite lucky. After all, there were quite a few players with three-star Pokémon in this competition, but Lin Xuan didn't encounter a single one.

It's said there's a group called the "Group of Death" (Group 18), where six out of eight players have three-star Pokémon...

In comparison, Lin Xuan's luck can indeed be considered good.

【? ? ? 】

When did the streamer become so humble?

Did you win the game? We want to see Ibrahimovic and Kirulian!

[Exactly! Male viewers, get out of here!]

"Hmph, it's a rare and joyous occasion, so I won't bother with you."

Lin Xuan sneered. As for why it was a day of great joy... well, there was a prize money for reaching the main competition, and quite a lot of it, so of course it was a day of great joy!

Lin Xuan picked up Eevee from the side, who initially seemed unwilling.

"Boy!"

I finally managed to snatch the TV from Xiaodian!

"Just cooperate, I'll let you play games on my phone in a bit."

"Boy!"

【Why didn’t you say so earlier! 】

Eevee used his superpowers to move a stool from the side, placed it next to him with a thud, and then plopped down on it... He sat on the back of the chair, otherwise his head wouldn't even be visible.

[Ibrahimovic! Where is your dignity?!]

Is it possible to bribe someone with just a mobile phone?

"Ibu, be good. Uncle has lots of phones here. Come with me, okay?"

[As expected, one is influenced by one's surroundings; even Eevee has become an internet addict.]

Where is Kirlia?

Lin Xuan turned her head and found that he was nowhere to be seen.

"Buyi~"

[Going downstairs to buy some soda~]

"...You can buy it yourself next time!"

Eevee and Tiny like to boss Kirlia around because of its teleportation ability, and Kirlia always obeys perfectly, which spoils the two of them rotten.

"Come on, do you know what to say?"

Lin Xuan carried Eevee directly to the computer desk and handed it a stylus. Eevee glanced at Lin Xuan and saw the smile on his lips. It seemed to understand something and immediately raised its paw, picked up the stylus, and started waving it around.

Soon, several large characters written by Ibrahimovic appeared at the top of the live stream.

I'm so cute, please send me money!

【? ? ? 】

[A classic reissue, right?]

[They've stopped acting and are just starting to rob us outright?]

Chapter 201 Dog-type Pokémon

"Ahem, this is just Eevee's own behavior, please don't take it out on the trainer!"

Seeing that this tactic seemed less effective, Lin Xuan immediately issued a statement of severance and made a spectacular break with Ibrahimovic.

"Buy?"

Eevee, who had just finished writing, turned to look at Lin Xuan, his small eyes filled with great confusion. He suddenly thought that changing trainers might be a good idea, or maybe he should just kick Lin Xuan to death.

Then Lin Xuan threw Eevee out of the room, just as Eevee was about to retaliate.

"Go play some games, but not for too long!"

Lin Xuan casually tossed her phone over as well.

"Buyi~"

[No problem~]

Eevee's eyes lit up immediately as she used her superpowers to catch it, and then "whoosh~" she ran out of the room without stopping for a second, as if she wasn't the one who had tried to kick Lin Xuan to death.

【? ? ? 】

Is this how you successfully bribe someone?

[Hmph, I'll go raise an Eevee too]

[Hey, is your purpose in raising an Eevee legitimate?]

"Ahem, we're here today to commentate on the match, after all, it's been only a few hundred hours since our last live broadcast."

Lin Xuan did a quick calculation and realized that the time she had been standing them up seemed to be a little too long.

"Okay, the match is about to start, let's go watch it." Lin Xuan said a little guiltyly, and clicked into the live stream before the chat started sending greetings, so as not to give these guys a chance to criticize him.

The afternoon matches were the group stage matches for groups 10 to 18, and the following days were mostly the same. Then came the loser's bracket matches. Lin Xuan was quite relaxed, since she had already qualified.

"Our Pokémon is Keyring, while the opposing Pokémon is Detective Mongoose."

"There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the Zangoose Pokémon. Its Crouch ability sounds good, but its actual effectiveness in battle is very average. Its only top-tier ability is Adaptability, but unfortunately, Zangoose is just an average type."

Aside from its appearance, there didn't seem to be much else about the Meerkat Detective that Lin Xuan could talk about, but he quickly changed the subject.

"Unlike Detective Mongoose, this Pokémon Key Circle is truly extraordinary! It possesses one of the top-tier abilities, Prankster, and also boasts a top-tier type combination—Steel and Fairy. Its level of annoyance is almost on par with Whimsicott!"

I was already laughing when I saw the "Mischievous Heart" trait.

I would find it hard to accept if this didn't involve electromagnetic waves.

[If you don't get a triple paralysis combo today, are you even going to end your stream?]

"Thanks to Misaka Misaka for the SC—[Mimikyu-sensei, are you sure you don't want to send a Mischievous Spirit? It feels like a perfect match, they're both pretty disgusting.]"

Lin Xuan remained silent for a short while.

"I'll take this as a compliment and won't ban you. I hope you won't be ungrateful."

How can anyone spend money to attack a streamer?

【Hahahahaha! 】

To be fair, that's true.

Mimikyu-sensei doesn't even own a Mimikyu yet.

[After seeing so many bosses getting yelled at for spending money, I've finally seen something really aggressive.]

The match started quickly, and Lin Xuan immediately began commentating on it.

Without saying a word, Key Circle activated the Reflector Barrier, while Detective Mongoose used—Yawn! Goodness, are they having a dirtier competition?

The main trainer of the mongoose also knows that if he were to fight Key Circle head-on, he would probably be disgusted to death. Based on the principle of "if you can't beat him, join him", let's just disgust him together!

"Here's something to mention: the Steel/Fairy type of Keyring only has two weaknesses, Ground and Fire. But Keyring happens to have the moves Electromagnetic Levitation and Rain Dance, which essentially makes it immune to one weakness and remove the other, making it incredibly powerful!"

Once these two skills are used, Key Circle becomes completely without weaknesses, and also gains immunity to three attributes, which is incredibly awesome.

"But just as Detective Mongoose used Yawn, Key Circle immediately used Trick Guard! Putting himself into Trick Guard state, he became immune to your transformation skills!"

"That's the terrifying thing about the Mischievous Heart. In the time it takes you to use one skill, I can use two skills, or even more, and I can even use the skills you use to counter you!"
