Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Missed again?

Farfetch'd's eyes widened. The green onion in his hand grazed the shadow behind him without causing any real damage. The shadow then lunged straight at him and then... vanished!

Apart from a sudden feeling of coldness, there was nothing unusual.

As Farfetch'd swung its leek to disperse the shadows, the airflow from the leek made the surroundings slightly more visible. Cheng Yin immediately realized she had been tricked, and Kirlia reappeared behind Farfetch'd.

Along with this, there was a faint crackling sound of electricity emanating from his fist.

"Qilu!"

[Full-powered lightning fist!]

Farfetch'd had just lost its old strength and hadn't yet gained new strength. Even though it vaguely sensed the danger behind it, it didn't have time to use its leek to defend itself. It was hit from behind by Kirlia's Thunder Punch and then flew straight backward.

Only then did Lin Xuan finally breathe a long sigh of relief, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

Using Sand Rush not only obstructs Farfetch'd and him, but also affects Cheng Yin herself. In battle, the trainer is another pair of eyes for the Pokémon, and under such circumstances, Cheng Yin's decision-making is bound to be flawed.

"Follow them! Keep using Lightning Fist!"

Having finally seized this opportunity, Kirlia naturally wouldn't let it slip by. She instantly teleported again to catch up and unleashed another punch.

Meanwhile, the viewers watching the live stream were stunned by Lin Xuan and Kirlia's perfectly coordinated actions. They had a god-like perspective and naturally knew just how outrageous Lin Xuan and Kirlia's playstyle was.

Kirlia teleported directly into the sky. If that were all, Cheng Yin wouldn't have been completely caught off guard. But the amazing thing was that Kirlia then used Shadow Sneak Attack.

Even if Cheng Yin, whose vision was not clear, still had some doubts in her heart, the only order she could give at that moment was to turn around and defend, or to go to the more extreme point of ignoring the attack and attacking directly. It was impossible for her to stand there and not move.

In this way, Lin Xuan's tactics succeeded.

The most difficult part of this tactic is not how to execute it, but making Kirullian understand Lin Xuan's meaning while the opponent cannot.

[This... couldn't have been planned beforehand, could it?]

[That's unlikely. Even someone like Mimikyu-sensei couldn't possibly have predicted that level of sand-pulling beforehand.]

Didn't Mimikyu just give Kirlia an order?

[Can you understand what Mimikyu-sensei means in just one sentence? What amazing teamwork!]

Everyone was amazed by the tacit understanding between Lin Xuan and Kirlia. Although Kirlia's ability is telepathy, it is difficult for it to truly establish this means of communication with its trainer before it reaches three stars. Moreover, everyone could see that Lin Xuan's Kirlia was special and not good at psychic abilities.

Kirlia teleported again into Farfetch'd's path as it flew backward, intercepting it in advance, and then landed a Thunder Punch accurately.

But at that moment, Farfetch'd, which had been punched to the ground, used the reaction force from its body contacting the ground, along with its wings, to forcefully adjust its position and twist its body back up.

Having taken two punches from Kirlia, even though Farfetch'd's strength far surpasses Kirlia's, it wasn't easy for it. A hint of pain appeared on Farfetch'd's face, but it quickly suppressed it and continued to swing its leek.

Farfetch'd landed, and Farfetch'd's next Thunder Punch collided precisely with Kirlia's. Farfetch'd had clearly used all its strength in this attack, but due to the haste, it could only use its best move, Slash, instead of the most damaging Dark Strike.

Fortunately, even with the green onion, the splitting didn't hit a vital spot, and Farfetch'd flew even further away. But even so, it still sent Kirlia flying, stopping hastily at the edge of the battlefield.

“Qilu…”

Kirlia raised her fist, which had just come into contact with Farfetch'd, and looked at it. It was still trembling slightly; Farfetch'd was too strong.

Lin Xuan remained silent. This was the difference in raw power between the two Pokémon. Even though Kirlia had hit Farfetch'd so many times, it was probably still not as good as one of his sneak attacks on a vital spot.

But that's precisely why we have no choice but to take a gamble!

Ignoring the injury on her right hand, Kirlia activated Instant Transmission again after adjusting her condition slightly, this time appearing directly above Farfetch'd.

As the punch landed, Farfetch'd didn't dodge, but instead raised its wing to meet it. But just as they were about to collide, Kirlia disappeared again and reappeared to the side of Farfetch'd's raised hand. The Thunder Punch hit Farfetch'd's wing squarely. Farfetch'd endured the pain, flapped its wings, and stood up, while Kirlia quickly pulled away.

But this also made the experienced Cheng Yin realize something... Kirlia wasn't using Teleport anymore!

Chapter 215 The Strongest Strike!

Because if Kirlia could still use Instant Transmission at this point, she would probably use Instant Transmission to escape... right?

Because she had just been tricked by Lin Xuan not long ago, even Cheng Yin was starting to have some doubts. Could this be another trap set by Lin Xuan?

Then Cheng Yin thought about it again. Since she couldn't possibly lose anyway, she might as well continue playing with Lin Xuan. So she continued to give instructions to the green onion duck.

"A flash of lightning and I charged forward!"

With the help of a flash of lightning, Farfetch'd's speed suddenly increased to an extreme level. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Kirlia. Then, Farfetch'd swung forward, launching another sneak attack on a vital spot. At the same time, its speed did not decrease. At its extremely high speed, the power attached to the sneak attack on the vital spot seemed to be even stronger.

Although it seemed like a long time, only a blink of an eye had passed from Kirlia's attack on Farfetch'd to its retreat. This was because Farfetch'd was just too fast, and even Kirlia's Teleport hadn't fully recovered and couldn't be used again.

"Lightning Fist!"

Since we can't avoid it, let's not try to avoid it and fight it head-on.

Although it sounds impressive, it was actually a last resort, forced into a situation where they had no choice but to fight back.

Kirlia knew this too, but he was unwilling to give up. He also knew that if he tried to fight head-on, he would be no match for Farfetch'd. Only by constantly using guerrilla tactics could he have a chance of winning.

At that very moment, the barely perceptible psychic power within Kirlia stirred, and a faint psychic power appeared in Kirlia's eyes—the Freeze spell!

Farfetch'd's body was only frozen for a moment before it continued to charge at Kirlia. That little time was not enough for it to dodge or resume using Instant Transmission. However, the Immobilization Spell had another real function.

"This Kirlia can use a freeze spell?"

Even Cheng Yin was taken aback, because her Gallade was also evolved from Kirlia, so she naturally knew that this move could mostly only be inherited. But before this, Lin Xuan's Kirlia had never seemed to show this move.

"Lin Xuan's Kirlia used the Immobilize move! It directly blocked Farfetch'd's Dark Strike, which it was using! Without the Dark Strike, Farfetch'd's damage to Kirlia will definitely be greatly reduced!"

Even Ren Shi, who was in the commentary booth, was startled by this sudden scene, and then continued to speak.

"But Lin Xuan's Kirlia actually has a stun spell? It hasn't been shown before, it's been kept very well hidden!"

[As expected of you, you old fox!]

Why would you hide something like this?

[I have to say, it really worked; it completely blocked Farfetch'd's sneak attack on vital points.]

[Even the lightning fist technique I just mentioned was so dirty!]

Although many people felt that Lin Xuan's move to hide a skill was somewhat "insidious," he was actually wronged this time. He didn't mean to make Kirlia hide a skill; rather, Kirlia herself wasn't confident in using the skill.

In fact, even Lin Xuan himself was somewhat frightened by Kirlia's actions, and then breathed a sigh of relief, at least it was a success, the immobilization spell was successfully used.

Farfetch'd was a little confused when it realized it couldn't use the Dark Strike to the vitals move, but it quickly changed its move to a slash under Cheng Yin's instructions, though the power was definitely not as good as the previous Dark Strike to the vitals move.

Electric currents also gathered on Kirlia's fists. Today, I'm going to show you what true love between fists is!

Kirlia's Thunder Punch and Farfetch'd's Slash collided, and there wasn't much suspense. Kirlia was unsurprisingly sent flying, but Farfetch'd wasn't spared either. The electric current traveled through its leek to its body, and combined with the force of the Thunder Punch, it gave its wings a tingling sensation.

“Qilu…”

However, compared to Farfetch'd, Kirlia's situation is obviously worse. Farfetch'd's strength is just too great. Fortunately, Dark Strike was sealed off beforehand, leaving Kirlia with only the Slash move. Otherwise, the Dark Strike move, which counters Kirlia's weakness and is guaranteed to hit a vital point, would probably have rendered Kirlia unable to fight.

Kirlia took two deep breaths, clearly exhausted, but her eyes remained resolute.

"Your Kirlia... is quite competitive!"

Cheng Yin suddenly said to Lin Xuan.

“Indeed, but I also like that about him.” Lin Xuan nodded with a smile.

"Kirullian, continue guerrilla warfare."

This was the last instruction Lin Xuan could give Kirlia. He knew it was unrealistic to expect Kirlia to defeat Farfetch'd on her own, but he was still working towards that goal, because only in this way would his efforts not be in vain.

Afterwards, Kirlia's figure would appear behind Farfetch'd from time to time, and she would immediately retreat after making a move. Regardless of whether she succeeded or not, her only goal was to prevent Farfetch'd from getting any chance. However... Kirlia's behavior was tantamount to dancing on a sword, and she was eventually caught.

Kirlia's body reappeared behind Farfetch'd, but this time, Farfetch'd's wing slashed backward as if it had anticipated this, like another sharp longsword.

Yan returns!

The attack was too fast, and Kirlia didn't have time to react before being knocked to the ground. Afterwards, Farfetch'd wanted to finish her off with a "leek," but as soon as it turned around, it found that the guy had run away again.

Then, his sharp gaze locked onto it again, and instantly the leek on his wing flew out of his hand, like a shooting star heading towards the direction Kirlia had teleported away.

"A disengaged Iaijutsu?"

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Xuan's brow twitched slightly. Perhaps only a Pokémon like Farfetch'd, which comes with its own weapon, could use skills like this.

Farfetch'd flew in very fast, but Kirlia was quick to spot its trajectory and immediately turned to dodge it. However, it was during this opportunity that Farfetch'd got closer.

She had no weapons in her hands, but her two wings were like the sharpest weapons, which she used to attack Kirlia.

"Kirlia, use your full power of Lightning Fist!"

Kirlia, who had barely dodged the leek's attack, knew this was the final blow. The electricity in her fist was even stronger than before, and her gaze was fixed on Farfetch'd.

"Qilu!"

At this moment, the best decision Lin Xuan should make is to let Kirlia attack Farfetch'd's wing. Lin Xuan understands the principle that it's better to break one finger than to injure all ten. However, Lin Xuan also knows another thing: he has no right to make such a self-sacrificing decision for Kirlia, who has worked so hard.

So he chose to keep quiet and leave the choice to him.

Kirlia threw out her fists, aiming directly at Farfetch'd's Wings move, but just as it was about to make contact, it suddenly changed direction, or rather, turned halfway, and all the force struck Farfetch'd's left wing, the one that usually holds the green onion.

But the price was also obvious: he was flung away by the other wing, which offered no resistance, and this was compounded by his previous injuries and physical exhaustion.

"Kirullian is unable to fight!"

With a flash of red light from a Poké Ball, Kirlia was recalled into a Poké Ball by Lin Xuan, who held it in front of his face and whispered something.

"You did a great job."

This wasn't Lin Xuan trying to comfort anyone; given the huge difference in strength, achieving this level was already quite impressive.
