Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Dan dan dan!"

Lin Xuan is right!

"you shut up!"

Lin Xuan glared at him. She was talking to Gallade, what business was it of his? She was talking about work-life balance, where was her "work"?

"Dandan~"

Little Dot pouted, then flew to the side and sat on the sofa. There, it saw a pair of mice feeding each other potato chips, but their method of eating the chips—grabbing a big bite at a time—didn't seem very "romantic."

Little Dot: ...

Forget it, let's go somewhere else.

As an electric mouse, Little Dot felt that ever since Little Xi and Little Xiaomi arrived, they had been constantly giving her a mental blow, which was not good.

Xiao Xi and Xiaomi weren't interested in Lin Xuan's training plan because they were too laid-back. They would only train when Lin Xuan told them to, and otherwise they would just hang out eating snacks. Their digestive abilities were completely disproportionate to their physiques.

Just the potato chips alone have already caused Lin Xuan's family to run out of stock in the past few days!

"Elu~"

Gallade scratched his head, but ultimately chose to accept Lin Xuan's suggestion to rest for a while, mainly because he did feel a bit tired.

Chapter 251 Kyogre: One more word and I'll send you a thunderbolt.

Ibrahimovic and the others have indeed been resting these past few days, but Lin Xuan hasn't been so free. Although the research institute told him to prepare for the competition, he still has to do a live broadcast while preparing for the competition.

Thursday, March 24th. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be his last live stream for a while, since he's going to participate in a competition tomorrow.

"If you see a great performance from the streamer in the official live stream, don't forget to send some gifts in the chat!"

Although the competition was being broadcast live and provided with individual perspectives for each player, what annoyed Lin Xuan was that the competition didn't allow players to broadcast live. That was really bad. If he couldn't broadcast live, how was he supposed to trick... ugh! ask for gifts?

【? ? ? 】

"You're still thinking about this when the competition is about to start?"

[I have a feeling that Mimikyu-sensei won't be around for long.]

It's okay, even though we can't go far, we can walk fast.

[Hopefully we'll hear the news the day after tomorrow that Mimikyu-sensei has been eliminated and will be broadcasting it to us live.]

That still won't do. I really want to see Mimikyu-sensei camping out in the wilderness.

Some viewers in the live chat hoped that Lin Xuan could last longer in the competition, but wasn't that reason a little strange?

"The trials and assessments in the competition are dynamic, and contestants are not allowed to fight each other privately. Believe me, I'm invincible among my peers! I'm the epitome of a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel!"

Lin Xuan made a direct guarantee, and then the screen was filled with question marks.

But aren't the difficulty levels of the trials divided by stars?

[Yes, Mimikyu-sensei's difficulty level is three stars.]

Other three-star players have several three-star Pokémon.

[When did Mimikyu get a three-star Pokémon?]

[Small portion!]

"Huh? There's such a rule?"

Lin Xuan was stunned. He only had a small, three-star pet! How did he get included? This isn't fair! He wanted to become the Alliance Chairman! He wanted to file a complaint!

【? ? ? 】

【you do not know?】

[You're a contestant, why are you asking me?]

Then Lin Xuan looked at the rules more carefully, and it seemed that there really was such a piece of information.

"Screw it!" Lin Xuan slammed her hand on the table. "Xiao Dian, why did you have to break through at this time?!"

Small dot: ? ? ?

Weren't you the one who shamelessly waited for me to break through before? Now you've changed your mind? Sure enough, no man is any good!

Looking at the pair of mice on the side, Little Dot felt it was time to find her own mouse!

Lin Xuan is unreliable!

"Buy?"

Ibu glanced at the little guy, wondering why he suddenly seemed to have unleashed his inner power and was playing video games so well.

However, it's not entirely fair to blame Lin Xuan, because he had already asked Zhong Ming about these rules when he was at the dojo, so he didn't pay much attention to the official announcement. He thought everything was foolproof, but it turned out that this guy had a trick up his sleeve!

I'm suddenly starting to look forward to the entertainment value of the upcoming competition.

When it comes to creating entertaining content, you can always trust Mimikyu-sensei.

However, I can't count on anything else; it's too difficult.

Even Lin Xuan himself didn't expect to achieve any great results; the rules the league had set were practically targeting him! He should have gone to complain to Zhong Mingyi if he had known.

The next day at noon, Lin Xuan arrived at the Jianghai City dock without bringing anything with her.

Jianghai City is a coastal city with countless ships coming and going every day, but Lin Xuan herself has only been here a few times, since she has no need to go out to sea.

There were also some Pokémon moored on the shore, such as Lapras, Manta Rayquaza, and Sharpedo, all equipped with special gear, clearly indicating that they were trained riding Pokémon.

Moreover, anyone with a little experience knows that the Laplace and Megalodon are relatively safe options and suitable for beginners, while the Megalodon... is not recommended for beginners to try, as it's a matter of life and death.

However, many people also enjoy surfing with giant flying fish. On some beaches with large waves, there is even a special sport called giant flying fish surfing. But Lin Xuan definitely wouldn't dare to try it. When Eevee used its superpowers to wrap itself in the sea, Lin Xuan was terrified. This kind of sport is better left to the brave...

My defining characteristic is timidity, so I'm not playing anymore.

Upon arriving at the pier, Lin Xuan finally saw the cruise ship she was to board and couldn't help but sigh.

"Is the league that rich?"

This is a top-of-the-line luxury cruise ship; wouldn't it be a waste to just send them to the island?

However, Lin Xuan's idea didn't last long. When he saw the name of the ship, he instantly felt like he wanted to vomit blood.

The Saint-Tiannu? Isn't that the ship that sank countless times in the anime and fan fiction? What a coincidence!

"After all, this competition was meticulously prepared by the league. As far as I know, the construction costs on that island alone are unknown."

A familiar voice came from behind Lin Xuan's voice. Turning around, she saw it was Li Ru, with someone else beside her.

"My cousin, Zhang Qi, you two must have met a few times at the dojo, right?"

Li Ru introduced Lin Xuan.

"Yes, I have seen them a few times."

Zhang Qi nodded. Although he rarely went back to the dojo at that time, only once or twice in total, and Li Ru was not there at the time, he had met Lin Xuan before.

"Congratulations on winning the Tianfu Province championship! I was also the commentator for that match, it was absolutely fantastic!"

Then Lin Xuan started the mutual flattery segment, which wasn't entirely unfounded; Zhang Qi's abilities were indeed very strong.

"But is there anything wrong with the Saint-Antoine?"

Li Ru asked Lin Xuan with some doubt, noticing that Lin Xuan seemed a little strange when she saw the name of the ship.

"Hmm... it just feels a bit ominous."

Lin Xuan looked troubled. He couldn't very well say that he always felt the ship would sink, could he?

"No, the Saint-Annu was purchased by the Alliance from Carlos, and it has never had any problems."

Zhang Qi seemed to have some knowledge of these matters, and Lin Xuan could only nod in agreement.

"I just think it would be better to rename this ship Yukikaze, wouldn't it?"

Lin Xuan muttered to herself.

From a safety perspective, that seems to be the case, but it's not very friendly to other ships, especially those sailing together...

"What are you talking about!"

Lin Xuan was suddenly patted on the back. Without turning around, he knew who it was: Song Chen. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. Although Song Chen was always active in his group chat, Zhong Mingyi, on the other hand, seemed to have too much to do at the dojo and hadn't been seen posting much.

Lin Xuan could only say... Well done! The league will try to find him more work.

Lin Xuan also introduced Song Chen and Zhao Qi to each other. As they were both elite trainers among the younger generation, they naturally had a lot in common.

While chatting, the group walked inside and soon boarded the Saint-Tiannu.

Although the name was unlucky, there was really no need to worry about any accidents, because Lin Xuan saw another person on the boat.

"Old Yan."

Lin Xuan waved to Yan Ming from afar, somewhat surprised. So this was why Yan Ming had come to Jianghai City? Was it a bit too much of a show to have a veteran master-level trainer escort them?

"Kobayashi, this trial is very important for you, so please be careful!"

After saying that, he reached out and patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder.

It seems that because he thought highly of Lin Xuan and because of his relationship with Sun Siming, Yan Ming said a few more words to Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan also noticed a small detail in Yan Ming's choice of words.
