Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Although this sand snail python is most likely sand-breathing, this characteristic cannot be actively triggered before being attacked, and it would be rather foolish to manually activate the sandstorm."

"So the Sandshrike used the Coil move directly. This is a move exclusive to snake-type Pokémon. It can increase physical attack and physical defense while also increasing the hit rate of moves. It's like an enhanced version of Bulk Up. But as the name suggests, only Pokémon like Sandshrike and Milotic can coil up with the Coil move. Gardevoir can't. If possible, I suggest you coil up here."

【? ? ? 】

Is your coiled-up posture even proper?

[I suggest you retweet my post]

In the battle between the Sand Snail Python and the Mama Eel King, the Mama Eel King, which had no weaknesses, clearly had the upper hand. Although the Sand Snail Python could use the Coil skill to increase its output, the Mama Eel King was stubborn and kept using the Ultimate Drain skill, eventually sucking the Sand Snail Python to death.

"It's a pity that the Sand Serpent can't learn the Sand Gathering skill. I think that's very unreasonable. After all, you can spit sand, so it's normal for you to gather sand, right? How can you spit sand if you don't gather it? That's very illogical. I suggest that Arceus give the Sand Serpent the Sand Gathering skill overnight after hearing my voice."

Arceus: I suggest you stop offering suggestions.

Your suggestion is good, but please don't make it anymore.

If Arceus could hear us, wouldn't he have to give Garchomp a Dragon Dance first?

[Garuda: What about me?? (Expectant face)]

Afterwards, Lin Xuan watched a few more matches, but felt they were all rather ordinary and lacked entertainment value. Several matches were even pure skill-based dominations, with opponents falling down in just a couple of quick moves. Lin Xuan didn't know what to commentate on until the last match, which finally became exciting again, by which time both players only had one Pokémon left.

"The opponent's first Pokémon is Gyarados! It's incredibly fierce. I can only hope that our player's Pokémon isn't a physical attacker, otherwise we'll be intimidated."

Then Lin Xuan saw our team pull out a black and yellow Pokémon and instantly soar into the sky. Lin Xuan immediately turned around and shouted at Xiao Dian again.

"Little one, you've got your period again!"

"Dandan??"

Xiao Dian naturally didn't believe Lin Xuan's nonsense, but out of curiosity, she still came over to take a look. It turned out that the relative Lin Xuan mentioned wasn't even a mouse, but a bird.

"Dandan!"

【boring!】

Xiao Dian snatched the Coke from Lin Xuan's table and went back to playing games, while Lin Xuan took the opportunity to introduce the elf to the audience.

"Electric Pelipper is a native bird Pokémon from the Padina region, but its strength is quite good among native birds. Moreover, it has the noble Electric and Flying type, so I would call it the Little Zapdos."

Zapdos: When did I get this relative?

What about the electric flying mouse?

[Point: So love can disappear, right?]

"Ahem, that's not the same. After all, Zapdos is also known as the little Electasu. If we make an equivalent exchange, then the giant Electasu is the little Electasu."

Lin Xuan said without any politeness.

"However, besides its type, Electric Petrible's ability is also terrifying. First of all, there is its exclusive ability, Wind Power. When attacked by wind-type moves, such as Hurricane or Heat Wave, it will enter a charging state, and the power of the next Electric-type move will be doubled! But my evaluation of this ability is... not as good as Power Conversion. It can enter a charging state as long as it is attacked, so it is still a bit stronger than you."

Lin Xuan shook his head. While the characteristics of wind power generation were interesting, they were actually quite ordinary.

"The second ability is energy storage, which I don't need to explain, right? Pokémon with this ability tend to store more energy, but its effect in battle isn't as great as you might think. The most important one is the third ability... Where's my cola?"

Lin Xuan was feeling a bit thirsty and wanted to have a Coke when she discovered that someone had taken the Coke from the table. Then, in a moment of surprise, Xiao Dian threw an empty soda can at her.

[Is it broken here?]

[Hurry up and tell us!]

[Speaking only half the story, leaving the rest unsaid!]

Wow, that guy in front is ruthless.

Lin Xuan glared at Xiao Dian, then continued speaking.

"The last ability of the Giant Seagull is Terrifying Competitiveness, and what will happen when it happens to encounter a Gyarados with the Intimidate ability... I think it goes without saying."

Indeed, the Gyarados trainer's face darkened the moment he saw the Giant Electric Seagull. His Gyarados had the Intimidate ability, but he had run into an opponent that countered Intimidate, and it was the Giant Electric Seagull that was a natural counter to Gyarados.

Even if you send a Steel Soldier to counter-intimidate, that would be fine! How come it's such a coincidence that it's the Electric Seagull?

"That player on the other side is having a bit of bad luck. This match was basically a smart match. I wish him good luck in his next game, and hope he doesn't run into Da Dian Haiyan..."

This Gyarados is about the same strength as the Giant Electivire. The Giant Electivire has a type advantage and doubles its Special Attack with its Competitive ability. How can Gyarados possibly beat it?

Moreover, the speed of the Giant Electric Seagull is faster than that of Gyarados. After all, although Gyarados can fly, it is only so big, how fast can it fly?

"Electric Seagull comes out with a Thunderbolt right away. I don't even want to use Thunder. After all, Thunder might miss, but Thunderbolt is safer. And with the power of Electric Seagull plus your Gyarados's four times weakness to Electric, it'll be gone in an instant."

The final result was no surprise. Gyarados barely dodged the first Thunderbolt with a bounce, and was quickly electrocuted... Four times the super weakness is no joke.

With Gyarados's defeat, Lin Xuan's commentary for today is almost over.

"Ahem, I haven't had time these past few days, so I probably won't be providing commentary for the upcoming provincial competitions in Tianfu Province."

【? ? ? 】

[So it's already a failed project?]

Let's all rebel together!

[You only did the commentary for one day and then canceled again?]

Lin Xuan also felt that it wasn't right to do a live stream all day after not doing one for so long, and after thinking about it, she said.

"How about I broadcast some outdoor content for you guys? I'll switch careers and become an outdoor broadcaster."

Lin Xuan thought that she would go to Ya Ya Lake later. It wouldn't be possible to do research all the time. She could also take the opportunity to stroll around and enjoy the scenery. It didn't seem like a bad idea to start a live broadcast and chat at that time.

However, when it comes to actually conducting the research, Lin Xuan will definitely have to turn off the live stream. After all, he is now a member of the research institute, and many things need to be kept secret.

[Live streaming outdoors?]

【Sure!】

[Can the streamer peek at Milotic taking a bath?]

"In a couple of days, the streamer will take you to see the savage bass taking a bath."

Lin Xuan glanced at the comments and then used his special skill as a live-streaming civil servant to end the broadcast at lightning speed.

After two days, Lin Xuan had toured around Chuanfu City and felt it was indeed time to hit the road.

"Little one! Ibu! Pack your things and get ready to run!"

------

The next day

Before leaving, Lin Xuan went to ask Zhang Qiming for directions. After all, it was fine in the city, but in the wilderness, Lin Xuan was worried that the unreliable map might mislead him. Then Li Ru simply tossed Lin Xuan a map.

It not only shows normal transportation routes, but also topographical maps of the mountains and rivers surrounding Chuanfu City, which is quite detailed... It would be even better if Lin Xuan could understand it.

"Do you have an electronic version of that kind of 'unethical navigation' app?"

Lin Xuan asked without any politeness.

"No."

Li Ru said this without any politeness, while also giving Lin Xuan a disdainful look.

What are you going to YaYa Lake for?

"Some research projects, we'll go there to take a look."

"If it's Lake Axew, I suggest taking this road. It's the main road, and there are basically no Pokémon along the way. You can also just take a taxi. But further in, it's mostly smaller roads. However, since the area around Lake Axew is a fairly famous scenic spot, there are basically no fierce Pokémon there."

Li Ru gestured a few times on the map in Lin Xuan's hand and pointed out a route to him.

"So convenient?"

"Dandan?"

Lin Xuan touched her chin, and the little dot flying by thought it was going to be some exciting and interesting adventure, but it turned out to be just taking a taxi?

"Otherwise what? You really want to fight your way through all the obstacles, right? This is modern society, there's no such thing as thinking about all that."

Li Ru rolled her eyes at Lin Xuan again.

"Thank you very much!"

Lin Xuan put the map away. Although she didn't quite understand it, she kept it anyway, thinking it might come in handy. Then she took Xiao Dian out of the dojo and hailed a taxi directly there, following Li Ru's directions.

"Dandan~"

[This is boring~]

Little Dot perched on Lin Xuan's shoulder, originally thinking it would be an adventure or something, but it turned out to be just taking a taxi? Not exciting at all!

"You want more excitement? Didn't you get enough of being beaten by the Exeggutor last time? If it's really that bad, I'll talk to Master Zhang and send you in for a couple more days of thrills?"

"Dan dan dan!"

Little Dot quickly shook his head. He decided to forget about it. There was no signal or food there, only tree fruits that were so bad they were hard to describe. He absolutely didn't want to go back in.

Lin Xuan quickly arrived at her destination—not far from Ya Ya Lake—but the road became difficult to navigate, requiring Lin Xuan to make her way there herself. As agreed with yesterday, Lin Xuan immediately started her live stream.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"

Lin Xuan waved her phone around. Although it was in the wild, the signal was pretty good, probably because people often came here to travel. Lin Xuan had just looked around and the scenery was indeed beautiful. The main reason there weren't many people was probably because of the Pokémon.

The name of this place, Tooth Lake, comes from two species of fish, the Sharp-toothed Fish and the Sharp-toothed Shark. However, in addition to the Sharp-toothed Shark species, there is another species living in Tooth Lake, namely the Savage Bass. The two species do not get along very well and often have physical interactions. If tourists go in during these times, they are very likely to be affected.

Not to mention that besides these two, there is also a group of Gyarados living in the center of Awful Lake. However, their numbers are relatively small, and neither Sharpedo nor Bass wants to provoke them, so they have been living in peace.
