Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"In that case, it's somewhat interesting."

Lin Xuan nodded. After all, if Bai Yao had sent Cong Youbing directly up, it would have been a pure stomp on a weak opponent, with no fun in the commentary. As for now...

Lin Xuan was really looking forward to seeing Bai Yao fail, because even though there was a type advantage, anything could happen with a disgusting Pokémon like Breloom.

Chapter 338 Is Senior Sister Bai Yao Going to Lose?

Lin Xuan glanced at the match and noticed that the referee had just entered the arena and it would take a while to prepare for the match. He then asked the many viewers in the live stream, but the answers he received were mostly predictable.

Almost everyone thought Bai Yao would win this game.

Although Bai Yao seemed a bit overconfident in this battle, he didn't use his main Pokémon, but instead used a weaker Blaziken.

However, this weakness is relative. Bai Yao's Blaziken is considered very strong among three-star Blazikens. If there is any flaw, it might be that Bai Yao's Blaziken doesn't have the best Speed-Up ability, but rather the relatively ordinary Blaze ability.

It's not that the Blaze ability is bad, but it seems a bit lacking compared to a god-tier ability like Acceleration.

Putting aside the issue of strength for now, Blaziken has a clear type advantage over Breloom, so how is the opponent supposed to fight against it?

But despite this, Lin Xuan still didn't forget to try and fool the viewers in the live stream:

"That's not necessarily true. As far as I know, Bai Yao's Blaziken has the normal ability Blaze, while the Breloom on the other side might have the Master Tech ability, which is quite powerful. Even the Spore ability, which is a normal ability, can potentially paralyze, put the opponent to sleep, or poison. It's quite strong!"

Lin Xuan deliberately avoided mentioning the Poison Healing ability that Breloom might possess, since it's essentially a useless ability without any items or teammates to support it!

At the same time, Lin Xuan also reopened the long-unused guessing game feature.

"Let's have another guessing game! Trust me, if you bet all your coins on the Breath-shroom on the other side, you'll definitely make a fortune!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, she quietly took out her phone, turned on the prediction function in her live stream, and immediately put in the coins she had been saving.

After completing these steps, Lin Xuan seemed more at ease and continued to deceive.

"Believe me, although on the surface Senior Sister Bai Yao may have a complete advantage, trust my judgment, the other side has a very good chance of winning!"

But before Lin Xuan could finish his charade, the live chat was flooded with question marks. The reason? The coin Lin Xuan had just tossed in had triggered a notification on the betting page—

[Mimikyu is not Mimikyu Q. In the guessing game, he tossed 1,000 coins for Bai Yao.]

It was this reminder that made the viewers who were still hesitant suddenly realize the truth. After all, they had seen Lin Xuan speak so seriously, and their own judgment was definitely not as good as Lin Xuan's. Perhaps Bai Yao was really overconfident.

But Lin Xuan's guessing option instantly explained everything.

【? ? ? 】

[You're even lying to your fans?]

Explain what you're going to do with these thousand coins.

Lin Xuan's eyes widened immediately. Damn it, when did there become such a display reminder in the guessing game? It's a total scam! Now he can't even scam anyone anymore.

The result was obvious. Many viewers who were still hesitant threw their coins at Bai Yao, instantly turning what was originally a 90/10 situation into a 100/10 situation. Lin Xuan could only feel sorry for that player.

But he's done his best! He tried to fool people for so long but failed. Can we blame him for that?

[The mouth of Teacher Qiu is a deceitful devil.]

[It's better to believe a Ghost-type Pokémon than to believe Mimikyu!]

[Luckily, I hesitated for a moment, or I almost actually believed Mr. Mimiqiu's nonsense.]

[Damn it, I actually believed it! My ten coins!]

[The poor first minute]

[Silence]

Lin Xuan realized that her scheme had been exposed and that the competition was about to begin, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Alright, the match has begun, let's watch the game!"

[Teacher Mimikyu always says the same thing]

That's right!

[Aren't you going to come up with any new tricks for changing the subject? I'm so tired of them.]

[Alright, alright, let's all go along with Teacher Mimiu's decision this time.]

Give me some face, let's just let this go.

Lin Xuan was speechless. This trick wasn't working anymore? These people were evolving way too fast!

Despite having this thought in mind, Lin Xuan quickly got into the narration mode.

"Senior Sister Bai Yao's Blaziken didn't go forward immediately. After all, she had to be careful of Breloom's Spore move, and this Breloom might also have the Spore ability, so she tried to avoid contact. Therefore, she chose Flamethrower instead!"

Blaziken is a typical dual-wielder, with very high physical and special attack, but at the cost of average base speed and low defense.

The impression that "Blazing Chicken is very fast" that everyone has always had is actually due to Blazing Chicken's speed-boosting ability. But if we disregard this ability, Blazing Chicken's speed, while not slow, is definitely not that fast either.

"Blazing Blaze came straight at Breloom. If it got burned... But Breloom responded by using Seed Gun, firing five shots in one go!"

Lin Xuan also observed that this seed machine gun was extremely powerful, which basically meant one possibility—

"This Breloom should have the Technician trait, or it might simply have a strong talent for Seed Machine Gun, but I think the former is more likely."

Lin Xuan made this guess.

In the final collision between the Flamethrower and the Seed Gun, although the Seed Gun was completely burned away by Blaziken's Flamethrower, it was at least managed to stop the attack.

"It seems that Blaziken is still stronger than Breloom, after all, it used five Seed Machine Guns."

The number of Seed Machine Guns fired is difficult to control. Even for strong Pokémon, no one can guarantee that they will fire five shots... except for those with the Continuous Attack ability.

This means that, without a bit of luck, Breloom would most likely not be able to withstand Blaziken's Flamethrower.

"Thanks to Evans for the SC—【Mimicho-sensei, is there anything else you'd like to explain?】"

Upon seeing this SC, Lin Xuan naturally went into a state of feigning ignorance.

"Explanation? What explanation? I have absolutely no idea! The important thing now is to watch the game. Quickly sit down and focus on the lesson!"

Lin Xuan said righteously.

At that very moment, Breloom acted before Blaziken could, shaking its body and beginning to disperse mushroom spores into the air.

Jiang You was very nervous. He originally thought that he was destined to be eliminated in the first round because he would be facing the champion favorite, Jin Hui's senior sister Bai Yao. However, the opponent did not send out their strongest Pokémon, which gave him a chance.

And even putting aside the chance to win and advance, if I could defeat Bai Yao's Blaziken with Breloom, wouldn't that be a way to make a name for myself? After all, he's known as the strongest disciple of the current generation at Jin Hui Gym!

"The Breloom used Mushroom Spores, that's disgusting! Mushroom Spores is an extremely heinous skill, second only to the Switcheroo skill in terms of disgust!"

As soon as Lin Xuan said this, the viewers in the live stream who were previously vehemently opposing him changed their tune as if they had been given a special treatment.

Indeed, I agree with this.

[It's rare to hear Teacher Qiu, the riddle maker, say something so sensible today.]

Yesterday, my friend used his Shroomish to repeatedly use Sleepy Pokémon on four of my Pokémon during our battle. I beat him up after the battle. Did I do the right thing, friends?

[That’s absolutely right!]

Sanctions must be imposed!

Blaziken didn't choose to dodge the mushroom spores from the Bream, or rather, it had no way to dodge them. The coverage area was simply too wide, and it was very likely that it would cover the entire battlefield in a short time, at which point there would be nowhere to hide even if it wanted to.

Bai Yao clearly understood this as well, and immediately had Blaziken use Flamethrower. Instantly, a huge flame "flame" flew out of Blaziken's mouth, burning away all the mushroom spores along the way, which surprised Jiang You.

Originally, he thought that even if Blaziken could resist some sleep after coming into contact with mushroom spores, it would still be affected to some extent. However, he did not expect that Bai Yao's Blaziken would burn the mushroom spores away, which shocked Jiang You.

The main challenge is that this requires the large characters to cover a wide area, which is extremely difficult.

If you want to use hot air, it would be easier to blow away mushroom spores, but unfortunately, Blaziken can't learn this very useful fire-type area-of-effect move. But White Yao directly uses brute force to overcome skill; no matter what it is, it will burn it all.

"Bai Yao was burned to ashes in one go. At the same time, these mushroom spores did not stop the attack of the Big Character Explosion. In fact, they even increased the power of the Big Character Explosion."

Lin Xuan said excitedly, "Although I've been saying and doing things that are mean to Bai Yao, I'm still a little worried if Bai Yao accidentally loses here."

After spending so much time together, the two had developed a good relationship, albeit a somewhat mischievous one. Lin Xuan didn't really want Bai Yao to suffer such a setback... mainly because even if Bai Yao lost here, she could definitely climb back up from the loser's bracket.

If there weren't a loser's bracket, Lin Xuan would really have preferred Bai Yao to be eliminated right here! He could even have mocked her properly after the match.

"The Big Flame went straight for the Hathorn, which seemed to be still releasing mushroom spores and hadn't reacted yet. In particular, the Big Flame, relying on the mushroom spores, spread the fire even faster."

The mushroom was directly hit by the big explosion and instantly engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. Given Bai Yao's personality, she naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and immediately rushed forward with a Flame Kick.

Breloom could only barely use Mach Punch in the flames, but even with the Master Technician ability, this hastily used Mach Punch was no match for Blaziken's Flame Kick, and it was immediately kicked away.

Even after being kicked away, the flames remaining on the Breath of the Breath continued to burn for a long time, only gradually going out after the Breath of the Breath collapsed and could not get up.

"The Hathor mushroom is unable to fight! The winner is Bai Yao!"

Although there were a few more twists and turns than initially expected, it seemed like nothing had changed, and Bai Yao still won very easily.

"This is boring, let's play the next round!"

While complaining, Lin Xuan clicked on the next live stream, and then he immediately realized what it meant to have an ever-greater mountain to climb, and each game to be more boring than the last.

"Senior Brother Liu Quan has dispatched the Iron Palm Warrior! The Iron Palm Warrior used the Bullet Fist! The bear-wearing warrior has lost his fighting ability!"

In one swift motion, without the slightest hesitation, even the furry bear was instantly defeated. It should be noted that furry can be seen as a weaker version of fur coat, with the power of contact moves being halved, making it quite strong. But even so, it still couldn't escape the fate of being instantly defeated.

Fortunately, apart from the battle between Bai Yao and Senior Sister Liu Quan, Lin Xuan also found quite a few interesting battles, or rather... a little bit of something to watch while eating?

After all, those involved are often blinded while bystanders see things clearly. Being on both sides of the battlefield, trainers don't have a god's-eye view, and they have many things to consider, making it difficult to be comprehensive. In addition, there was a reason that Lin Xuan had known for a long time...
