Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan shook his head, followed by another powerful mental attack from the dazed king.

If this attack hits Gengar, it could very well end the battle, but—

"The cooldown for holding the line is over again."

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, watching as a special energy barrier appeared in front of Gengar, blocking all attacks. At the same time, the black aura behind Slowking expanded rapidly, directly enveloping Slowking's entire body.

The Song of Destruction—A Curse from Gengar.

"But... Gengar doesn't seem to be able to completely withstand Slowking's attacks!"

The barrier in front of Gengar cracked under Slowking's full-force attack, and Gengar's face showed signs of pain again, clearly indicating that it was struggling to hold on.

"Did you use too many defensive maneuvers in a short period of time, resulting in an incomplete recovery?"

Lin Xuan pondered and said, "Using Protect requires a special kind of energy within the Pokémon's body, but this energy recovers very slowly, which means that the Pokémon can only use Protect once in a short period of time. If it is used continuously or in large quantities in a short period of time, it may not be able to completely protect against attacks, or even fail to use Protect."

The same logic applies to "See Through," since these two skills are essentially from the same source. The only advantage of "See Through" is that it makes one immune to sealing, but this skill doesn't appear very often, so in most cases, there is no difference.

Slowking was struggling to hold on under the effects of Perish Song, while Gengar, not far away, also seemed to be unable to withstand Slowking's psychic power, as the barrier it had formed had already shattered by more than half.

"Did Song Chen lie to me? Was he just doing this for the sake of the show?"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but wonder, because given the current situation, it seemed that the two elves might have perished together.

Almost simultaneously, the effects of the Annihilation Song completely enveloped Slowking, and Psychic officially broke through Protect.

"Did they all fall together?"

Lin Xuan was stunned when he saw the two elves that seemed to be about to fall down together. Damn, could Song Chen have really fooled him?

"No, Gengar doesn't seem to have completely lost its ability to fight."

Clearly, compared to the domineering effect of Perish Song, the impact of Psychic on Gengar is ultimately smaller, allowing him to continue to withstand the attack for a period of time.

Although it didn't last long, only about three or four seconds, Gengar followed in Slowking's footsteps and collapsed. But according to the battle rules, even if both lost their ability to battle, they had to be defeated in turn.

Therefore, Xiao Zhong still lost.

"Wuhu, Xiao Zhong has lost. Tonight is a perfect night."

Seeing the Gengar fall, Lin Xuan picked up a can of cola and turned it on in front of the camera.

"If there's no champagne, let's just make do with soft drinks."

After saying that, he took a sip with relish.

However, to be honest, Zhong Mingyi's loss in this round doesn't mean anything. His opponent is a powerful veteran trainer, and in terms of seniority, he seems to be a generation older than Luo Guan.

If we were to be a little lenient, it wouldn't be impossible for this match to end in a draw. Zhong Mingyi is still young and has unlimited potential. It's likely that he will be able to officially surpass Zhong Mingyi in just a few years.

As for the viewers in the live stream, after seeing Lin Xuan use cola instead of champagne, they all started sending greetings.

Lin Xuan was in a good mood. It was rare to see Zhong Ming suffer a setback. She casually glanced at the comments and seemed to have received some kind of gift.

"Thank you, Captain Zhong Mingyi, you're such a handsome guy! Boss, you're so generous..."

Lin Xuan muttered it to herself, then realized something was wrong. She quietly put the cola aside and clicked on the profile picture of the person who had just helped her board the ship.

"Tsk, it's not a high-quality fake."

Lin Xuan muttered something under her breath, then immediately addressed the live chat:

"Ahem, the internet at the dojo isn't very good today. My senior sister told me we're out of credit. We'll continue the live stream in a couple of days. See you next time!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xuan continued to uphold his title of "civil servant of live streaming," being late and leaving early was the norm, and as for overtime... what was that? Lin Xuan didn't know the word.

【? ? ? 】

They've already run away?

[Wasn't Teacher Mimikyu just speaking in a fierce tone? Keep going!]

[Stop talking, Mimikyu-sensei must have a perfectly cowardly personality, which is perfect for using a loud roar.]

Lin Xuan ended the broadcast at lightning speed, then secretly checked her phone messages and, sure enough, saw a bunch of question marks sent to her by Zhong Mingyi.

Zhong Mingyi is a very handsome guy: ? ? ? ?

Zhong Mingyi is a handsome guy: Can you pretend a little?

Lin Xuan silently sent back the word "cannot" and casually tossed her phone aside, but soon seemed to remember something and picked it up again, sending a message to Zhong Mingyi asking.

Where have you been these past few days?

Lin Xuan had contacted Zhong Mingyi a couple of days ago, but had not received any news. He had originally intended to ask about the events surrounding the previously unseen Ice Lake, thinking that Zhong Mingyi probably knew about them, but he had been unable to reach him.

Oh, I'm handling something here.

Zhong Ming, who was somewhere in the world, typed a message to Lin Xuan while unzipping his tent and stepping out. As far as the eye could see, there was an endless forest.

Zhong Ming thought for a moment, then casually took a picture and sent it to Lin Xuan.

【Travel.ing】

To Zhong Mingyi's words, Lin Xuan could only respond with a question mark: "You're such a big dojo owner, going on vacation at this time? Do you think Lin Xuan would believe that?"

Chapter 332 The Possibilities of Partner Moves

Zhong Mingyi went on vacation? Lin Xuan didn't believe it at all. You know, such a big thing happened in the League not long ago, and gym leaders in various places were extremely busy.

Judging from the information Lin Xuan received from her father a couple of days ago, the situation in Yunhai Province is not bad, but it's not much better.

For some reason, although the problems occurred in the water in various regions, the coastal Yunhai Province was relatively unaffected. However, even though it was unaffected, some special Pokémon appeared in quite a few places, though relatively few of them.

Logically speaking, Zhong Mingyi, as the owner of the Jianghai City Dojo, shouldn't be idle at a time like this.

But after Lin Xuan sent out the question mark, there was no further news from Zhong Mingyi. Lin Xuan tried to shake the pop-up window several times, but it didn't work. This further solidified Lin Xuan's previous idea.

Zhong Mingyi is probably carrying out some special mission at this time, which may even be related to the incident some time ago. However, Zhong Mingyi probably really can't tell me the specifics. Otherwise, given their relationship, he would have already told me everything.

But as Lin Xuan put her phone on the table, preparing to rest, she suddenly looked up and remembered something—

Wait a minute! This guy can watch his own livestream while on a mission?! Isn't that slacking off?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Time flew by again, and there was only one week left before the start of the martial arts tournament. As for the hatching time of the elf egg, according to the device, it seemed that there were only seven or eight days left before it would hatch successfully.

"It won't actually hatch while I'm in battle, will it?"

Lin Xuan muttered to himself, looking at the egg in front of him. Meanwhile, Bai Yao, sitting on the sofa, was leisurely eating potato chips and watching TV with the others, saying to Lin Xuan:

"Don't worry, if you run into me, I'll definitely send you back in one go so you can take good care of this little guy."

Lin Xuan: ...

This guy really doesn't know how to talk. And these past few days, Bai Yao has been coming here from time to time, saying that there's really nothing to do after training. Before, he would just stay in his room and sleep, but now he might as well come to Lin Xuan's place to keep Xiao Dian and the others company.

And you can even pet Eevee, isn't that great?

Lin Xuan rolled her eyes at her, then picked up Ibu and the others, preparing to leave the room.

"I'm going to training now, wanna come along?"

"Well... let's go."

Feeling Lin Xuan snatch Eevee from her arms, Bai Yao glared at Lin Xuan with some dissatisfaction at first, but her eyes lit up immediately after hearing the word "training".

But Lin Xuan quickly realized this as well and hurriedly added:

"The training I'm referring to is just pure training, not including actual combat!"

"Tch, it's boring."

Bai Yao pursed her lips, but still followed, since it was almost time for her training.

They arrived at the training room together, each occupying a corner. At this point, Bai Yao was still quite tactful and didn't continue to pester Lin Xuan to challenge him to a match. The two then trained peacefully.

Sometimes they can give each other advice. Bai Yao's knowledge of fighting is indeed superior to Lin Xuan's. Many times, she is the one who points out some of the subtle flaws of Elredo.

However, if we step outside of the Fighting type, Lin Xuan knows more about Pokémon than Bai Yao does, so she needs to consult Lin Xuan in these areas.

The two seemed to be helping each other at this time, showing no signs of becoming rivals in a few days.

"When performing sword dance, you don't necessarily have to pursue such great power. If you restrain yourself a little, you can better adjust your body shape and fighting stance."

Lin Xuan reminded Gallade of this, and the little dot opposite Gallade nodded, seemingly agreeing with Lin Xuan's statement. However, he hadn't actually heard what Lin Xuan was saying at all; he was just focusing on dodging Gallade's attacks.

Although Xiaodian is very agile, it is still very difficult for him to dodge Gallade's slashes at such close range. If it were another opponent, he would have already used his electric attack without any mercy. However, the restriction that Lin Xuan placed on him was that he could not fight back.

Even Eevee, lying on one side, was using its psychic powers to put pressure on him, making it even more difficult for him to move. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was training Gallade or training himself.

No, this isn't training, it must be deliberate revenge! It must be!

Just as this thought flashed through Xiaodian's mind, Gallade's slash passed by him again. Xiaodian didn't react in time, but his body still instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"Dandan?"

The little dodged the attack and tilted his head. He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he did feel that Gallade's attack was lighter than before, but faster.

No, or rather, he deliberately held back a bit of his strength, and the speed didn't increase; he just seemed more at ease, giving the illusion that he had given a little extra effort.

"Don't be distracted!"

Lin Xuan said somewhat seriously. He could tell that Xiao Dian had been a little distracted just now, but even when distracted, Xiao Dian was still able to easily dodge Gallade's attack, even under the suppression of Eevee's psychic power.
