Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Supervillain? They even have that?"

And coincidentally, this Toxapex isn't very strong, only at the two-star level, roughly the same as Gyarados.

"Good luck!"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up when she saw Toxapex, and then she threw out Gyarados's Poké Ball.

"Roar!"

After appearing, Gyarados immediately let out a roar into the air and then spotted Toxapex not far away.

"Roar?"

Gyarados looked at Lin Xuan, seemingly still not quite understanding why he had been asked to come out.

That blue guy not far away, Lin Xuan should be able to handle all his other issues, right?

"I want to see your strength." Lin Xuan didn't say much, just this simple sentence.

Gyarados immediately understood. Did Lin Xuan want to test its strength? That was too easy. All it had to do was beat down that blue guy not far away, right?

Gyarados's eyes were instantly filled with a violent aura as it looked at Toxapex. Since Lin Xuan said so, it might as well just kill it.

Although Gyarados showed a docile side in front of Lin Xuan, this attitude was only in relation to Lin Xuan. Deep in Gyarados's genes, a violent aura still flowed, which was difficult to change.

But Lin Xuan liked this aspect. If it were too docile, what would it be called Gyarados? It should be renamed Milotic. Only this kind of unstoppable momentum could match Gyarados.

"Mimikyu's new Pokémon is Gyarados?!"

The people around couldn't help but sigh when they saw Gyarados, but some of them also raised questions.

"I don't recall any places around here where Gyarados lives, and Mimikyu-sensei's Gyarados was just caught, could it be..."

"I think it must be. After all, Mimikyu was here yesterday, so it's possible that it was just caught yesterday." Some people guessed the truth immediately, but others raised another question.

"But the docile expression that this Gyarados showed towards Mimikyu-sensei didn't seem fake at all. Could it be that Mimikyu-sensei successfully captured this Gyarados in just one day?"

He found it hard to believe; Gyarados, especially wild Gyarados, are notoriously difficult to tame.

"Try to look on the bright side. After all, that's Mimikyu-sensei. Anything is possible~"

These words seemed to instantly convince everyone; they nodded in unison, exchanged glances, and then said in unison:

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

Lin Xuan was unaware that the people behind her had already started chatting leisurely, and were still observing the Supervillain not far away.

Toxapex is a typical tank-type Pokémon with very high physical and special defense. Its only weakness is its low HP, but this doesn't detract from its overall strength.

It can even compensate for its weakness of poor stamina by regenerating itself, making it a very terrifying Pokémon. If you can't defeat it in a short time, you will be worn down to death.

Do you know how to do dragon dance?

Lin Xuan immediately asked Gyarados.

For this type of tank, the best approach is to enhance it, pushing its power to the limit before unleashing the final, fatal blow.

"Roar!"

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Gyarados immediately nodded, and then its body began to twist in a strange posture. Meanwhile, Eevee and Little Point in the audience began to offer their sharp comments.

"Buyi~"

[Just so-so~]

"Dandan!"

[Indeed, you could wiggle your hip a little faster!]

The two little ones were chatting happily, but it didn't seem like they were talking about anything serious...

As you can tell from its name, Toxapex is no pushover. The moment it saw Gyarados, it scattered a large number of purple shards around itself—Poison Spikes!

If Gyarados tries to get close, it will inevitably be poisoned by the presence of Toxic Spikes.

However, taking advantage of Toxapex's use of Toxapex, Gyarados completed its first Dragon Dance. Lin Xuan wanted to continue strengthening it, but this idea was ruled out by a move by Toxapex.

"Want to run?"

Lin Xuan watched as Supervillain scatters poison darts in his direction and then moves towards the puddle behind him, and immediately realized what the guy was planning to do.

"Crush it!"

Without a word, Gyarados lunged forward to bite. Gyarados's bite force is quite astonishing, especially if it undergoes Mega Evolution, in which case its somewhat lackluster Flying type will become Dark.

As for why Flying-type is considered useless, it's pretty obvious... All you can learn is Jump, what kind of Flying-type are you? You should switch to the glorious Dark-type!

"Be careful, save your strength!"

Although Lin Xuan let Gyarados launch an attack, he didn't forget to carefully remind it, since Toxapex also has a unique move.

"Is Teacher Mimikyu being wary of the bunker?"

Some people thought so.

"It should be. The Bunker skill is too disgusting, second only to the King's Shield."

"Indeed, I think this thing is even more despicable than spiked defense!"

After hearing the criticism of the bunker skill, the others agreed, since spike defense only reduces health, but the poison effect is really unbearable!

Just as Lin Xuan had predicted, after seeing Gyarados charging towards it, Toxapex's tentacles suddenly closed, and its body was covered by a special energy—amazing!

"Water Flow Tail, knock this guy away."

Lin Xuan said decisively, and when Gyarados used Water Tail to knock away Toxapex, its tail was also surrounded by a large amount of water and did not directly come into contact with the poisonous spikes on its body.

Chapter 314 Pokémon with a Unique Ugliness

Gyarados used its tail, which was carrying a large amount of water, to send Toxapex flying. The water on its tail acted like a protective layer, shielding Gyarados from Toxapex's powerful attack.

Gyarados is quite powerful. Although we often see this guy using Hyper Beam in the anime, Gyarados is a true physical attacker. Many wild Gyarados like to use Hyper Beam simply because this move allows them to unleash their destructive desires to the fullest extent.

But when it comes to actual combat, physical attack skills obviously deal more damage.

After being knocked away by Gyarados, Toxapex landed directly on the ice not far away, even further from the original cave entrance.

Toxapex's power is relatively weak, and it would take some time for it to break through the ice and go back. In other words, Gyarados's actions directly eliminated any possibility of its escape.

The reason why the Dragon Dance skill is so powerful is that it not only increases strength but also speed.

Gyarados twisted its body and quickly flew to the landing Toxapex again, but this time it did not use the Water Tail as before.

As if wanting to demonstrate his abilities to Lin Xuan, he opened his mouth wide and bit down.

Bite into pieces!

Gyarados's massive teeth are no joke. Lin Xuan once thought that Gyarados should be given the Strong Jaw ability, since its teeth don't look any worse than those of a Dratini.

Lin Xuan also noticed that Gyarados was extra careful when biting Toxapex, trying its best to avoid the venomous spikes on its body and bite the most vulnerable part.

This means that Gyarados has an exceptional talent for observing the weaknesses of its enemies, which is something that Lin Xuan is very satisfied with.

While these skills can be developed through training, the level of innate talent can largely determine the ultimate potential.

Gyarados then easily defeated Toxapex and even showed Lin Xuan several of its skills, including Ice Fang and Earthquake.

Ice Fang is normal, as it's a skill that Gyarados can learn on its own. However, Earthquake is a bit unexpected. After Gyarados used it, the surrounding ice surface shook and even cracked.

This also shows that Gyarados not only simply learned the Earthquake move, but was quite proficient in it, ultimately destroying Toxapex with a single Earthquake.

"As expected of Mimikyu-sensei, even the Gyarados she just subdued is so strong!"

"Although this Gyarados hasn't received much training, it has already mastered very skillful battle techniques."

Everyone expressed admiration and envy for Gyarados's strength, after all, such a good Pokémon is not something you can just come across whenever you want.

"Alright, once we deal with this Supervillain, there shouldn't be any more problems."

Lin Xuan immediately launched a Poké Ball and trapped Toxapex. The remaining members, after hearing Lin Xuan's words, glanced around warily, but breathed a sigh of relief upon finding nothing amiss. They then said to Lin Xuan:

"Mr. Mimikyu, please don't give us this kind of jinx anymore, we can't handle it!"

"Ahem, that was just a coincidence. This supervillain must have planned this ambush! There won't be any more coincidences like that~"

Lin Xuan coughed awkwardly twice, then locked the Poké Ball and put it away. But even so, he still told Eevee to keep an eye on its surroundings. After all, even Lin Xuan was starting to lose confidence in himself because of how many times this had happened.

After all, he does seem to have a knack for jinxing.

But just as Lin Xuan was worrying about this, Gyarados came over with a silly smile, its face seemingly saying, "Am I great? Praise me!"

Lin Xuan sighed helplessly after seeing it.

You're a dragon! Even if you don't have dragon attributes, you're still a dragon! You're not a husky!!!

Even with these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan still patted the head of the Gyarados that had come closer.

"Well done, I'll make you even stronger in the future!"

"Roar!"

Fortunately, Lin Xuan's prediction only came true once. After dealing with the Gyarados, they didn't encounter any other Pokémon. After checking the last small area in the last few minutes, Lin Xuan and his team returned the way they came.

The group quickly returned to the alliance to report to Chang Ming, who nodded in agreement, indicating that their contributions would be recorded by the alliance.

Trainers participating in this special recruitment are all volunteers and receive no compensation, but the League can't just take advantage of them for free; they have to offer something in return.
