Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

[A reminder to new viewers: please adjust your volume.]

[The Mimicry Hill flight is about to take off. New viewers, please put on your headphones and turn up the volume for the best viewing experience.]

[Hey, what kind of devil are you?]

Lin Xuan was speechless as he looked at the barrage of comments. Although he did get a little emotional and his voice was a bit loud sometimes, it didn't have to be like this, did it?

Both teams in this match were quite strong. Although the players' names were marked on the screen, Lin Xuan was too lazy to look at them and simply used the player on the left as the main perspective, since the commentary was based on the elf anyway.

"Alright, alright, quiet down, everyone. The match has started. Let's see what Pokémon our player has sent out. Hmm... Tauros? As for the opponent, it's Machamp!!! Wow, this is a disadvantageous matchup right from the start. Their type is completely countered. Let's see if our player will use the opportunity to switch Pokémon."

"Also, for viewers who are new to the game and don't know the rules, each player has three chances to switch Pokémon during the competition, so they need to use them carefully."

Lin Xuan was worried that some people might not understand the rules, so she explained them in advance.

Limiting the number of exchanges is to prevent people from repeatedly exchanging Pokémon, but it doesn't completely lock down Pokémon, since sometimes the strengths and weaknesses between Pokémon are still quite obvious.

For example, if you send a Parasect to fight a Charizard, isn't that just feeding the enemy?

"In this situation, I might choose to back down. After all, Tauros has a tough time against Machamp. But our player doesn't seem to be backing down at all. He charged straight in and used a powerful Normal-type move, Brick Break."

"In that case, Tauros is actually at a disadvantage. Think about it, Tauros only has one head, which means it can only ram once, but Machamp has four arms, so it can chop you four times. What is that? It's Love at First Sight! Hey, is Machamp's Love at First Sight ability legal? Be careful, or our team member might report you to the League!"

The battle situation changed rapidly, and Lin Xuan's mouth was like a machine gun, not lagging behind at all.

[Love with your own hands? I'm dying of laughter hhhhh]

[Report!! doge]

[Newbie here, are all commentators this unconventional these days?]

[Who's here to listen to the commentary? Aren't we all here to hear the crosstalk?]

Kentaur was eventually knocked away, his thigh leaving a deep gash on the ground, clearly indicating he was no match for Kentaur.

"Thank you, thank you for what SC? -- [Doesn't Tauros also have three tails?] That's true, but Tauros only has Iron Tail as a tail move, and its Strength isn't very good for fighting monsters."

Tauros's trainer clearly realized that continuing the fight wasn't going to work, so he recalled Tauros and released his next Pokémon, Pidgeot.

"Pidgeot does have a better chance against Machamp, but it's not absolute. After all, Pidgeot's type isn't pure Flying but Flying and Normal, which means it can't resist Fighting-type moves. Here's a little quiz for you: what Pokémon is pure Flying? (Five-second time limit)"

Lin Xuan took a sip of water and, while the contestants were changing Pokémon, asked the audience a question. The answers were varied, including Pidgey, Chatot, and even Swellow, but quite a few were correct.

"Let me reveal the answer: the only pure Flying-type Pokémon are the unique Chinchilla and Blue Raven from the Great Britain region. Most of the other Pokémon that you think are pure Flying-type actually have another Normal type."

However, this is indeed a difficult problem, because blue ravens and chickweeds are very rare in China.

[Another amount of useless knowledge has been added...]

[I'm shocked that there's a common type of Swellia spp.!]

[The teacher just talked about this in class yesterday, and it actually came in handy here?]

What Lin Xuan didn't say is that there are actually five Flying-type Pokémon in Pokémon, but Arceus and Silvally switch types on their own. As for Tornado, it's a legendary Pokémon. These are not things that are convenient to say.

Even though Machamp has a type advantage over Tauros, the power of that Suicide Slam was no joke, and it was still a bit stunned. Pidgeot took advantage of this moment and blew it over with a Hurricane.

"This Pidgeot is unsportsmanlike, launching a sneak attack right from the start! But it's a high-power STAB move, so if it hits, it will deal extremely high damage. The downside is that Hurricane is hard to control and easy to miss, but the weather looks pretty good tonight, so it shouldn't be too bad..."

Just as Lin Xuan was saying this, Guai Li shook his slightly dizzy head and quickly regained his senses. He narrowly escaped the edge of the storm and was not attacked.

Lin Xuan: ...

"How could that miss?!"

Seriously? How could you miss that?

[Supernatural Strength: I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a strange power]

[The ultimate bad luck trait has been activated!]

[Our player: I'm reporting the opposing team for using supernatural weapons]

"Dan dan dan dan~"

The electric flying squirrel lay on the bed, rolling around with its belly in its arms. Its hearty laughter sounded strangely jarring to Lin Xuan's ears, but he could only facepalm.

This eagle is having some bad luck.

"Ahem, although this storm didn't hit, it's not a big problem. The opposing player doesn't seem to have any intention of substituting, and has chosen to let Mighty continue fighting. And then this is... Farmer's Three Punches!"

Having dodged the storm, the monstrous strength swiftly closed in on Pidgeot, its two upper hands emitting flames, while its lower hands unleashed a Lightning Punch and an Ice Punch, as if it were about to overwhelm the master with a flurry of punches.

Pidgeot was not afraid. A white light adhered to its body surface, and then it gathered its strength slightly before heading towards Machamp.

"Brave Bird, go for it! Although it's very powerful, it also has a certain degree of backlash, just like Triple Slam. Can it defeat Machamp? Machamp didn't pull back either, but directly used Farmer's Three Punches. Is this the advantage of having four arms?"

"Pidgeotto's Brave Bird Attack has now hit Machamp head-on, but Machamp's four fists have also slammed solidly into Pidgeotto, sending Machamp flying! Can he withstand this attack!?"

But after saying that, Lin Xuan's tone softened.

"But this is a fierce attack from a Brave Bird, and I think I can take it with my head."

Under the powerful onslaught of Brave Bird, Machamp was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust. Incredibly, it remained standing, though its face showed pain, it wasn't completely defeated.

"Machamp bravely withstood that attack, but now Machamp's health is clearly at its lowest point. Pidgeot could easily finish him off with a simple air slash."

"We can see that although Pidgeot has taken a few punches, its health is still relatively good. Under these circumstances, it's almost impossible for Machamp to turn the tide, unless! Machamp's Farmer's Three Punches just now caused a special effect, and it can't be a burn, even paralysis won't be enough, it has to be at least freezing to have any chance of turning the tide, but is that possible? It's not impossible, I can only say the probability is very low~"

Lin Xuan said with a hint of regret, and then when the view turned to Pidgeot, he saw it fall directly from the sky, with some ice still faintly visible on its side wing.

boom! !

Lin Xuan slammed her hand heavily on the table.

"This is allowed?!?"

"Dan dan dan dan~"

The electric flying squirrel on the side laughed even harder, almost unable to sit up.

Thank you, but I'm already deaf.

[Maybe the host should stop talking, otherwise I'm a little worried about Xiaodian on the side.]

Pidgeot: I'm truly impressed by you, you old fool.

[Mr. Mimi Qiu, I admit I was once a superstitious believer in science.]

The frozen state is arguably the most terrifying of all abnormal states, even surpassing sleep, because while you can wake up when you're asleep, if you're frozen, you're truly at the mercy of fate.

There isn't a single move in the Pokémon world that directly freezes an opponent, but there are other status conditions, such as poison powder for poison, will-o'-the-wisp for burns, electromagnetic waves for paralysis, bluff for confusion, sleep powder for sleep, and the dreaded mushroom spores, but there is no move that freezes an opponent.

There are ways to actively break free from the freeze, such as using skills like Hot Water or Flame Charge, but Pidgeot could never learn those.

However, reality and games are inevitably different. The ice caused by the Ice Punch did not completely cover Pidgeot's entire body, meaning that Pidgeot did not completely lose its ability to fight.

In the end, Pidgeot, which still had some fighting ability, managed to take down Machamp, but due to its limited mobility, it was also taken down by Machamp in the final close-quarters battle.

Throughout the process, Lin Xuan remained silent, but the live chat became even more lively as he remained silent.

"Please believe in science."

Lin Xuan managed to utter only this one sentence before looking up at the number of viewers in the live stream. She noticed that the number was significantly higher than before, and many of the comments were from viewers without fan badges, who were clearly newcomers.

[Wow, there are definitely more people in the live stream today!]

Indeed, the last time they were this popular was probably the last time.

[Probably because of the competition; it's very popular.]

Ultimately, with Lin Xuan's tireless commentary, the opposing player successfully won the match.

The opponent won, Lin Xuan received a gift, the audience had fun, and the world where only our player was injured was achieved.

"Alright, alright, next round, next round! I refuse to believe my predictions are so accurate today!"

Actually, our player had a chance to turn the tide. His last Pokémon was Flareon, which allowed him to defeat one of the opponent's Pokémon while still having some stamina left. Meanwhile, the opponent's last Pokémon was Togekiss, which even managed to overpower them at one point.

Even Lin Xuan said "I'm optimistic about the only king this time" halfway through, and then came the classic air slash and cowering moment.

"Thank you to Captain I Love Might 12138, I hope to see you again next month~"

After being punished by the competition, Lin Xuan even seemed listless when thanking the gift-givers.

[Holy crap, isn't that the player on the other side?]

Wow, it really is! Are they here to fulfill a vow?

[The conspiracy has been confirmed!]

Lin Xuan also saw these comments, and then went to the user's homepage to take a look. He found that they were indeed the opposing players, because the first post was a selfie of him after winning.

Switching back to the live stream, I saw another Super Sentai message he sent: "[Thanks to Mimikyu-sensei for the blessing that helped me win]."

Lin Xuan: ? ? ? ?

Can you please stop spreading rumors in my live stream?

Lin Xuan went straight backstage and sent a question mark to this guy.

Mimikyu is not Mimikyu Q: ?

I love super strength 12138: I'm your fan!

Mimikyu is not Mimikyu Q: ? ? ?
