Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Yeah, even though Lin Xuan is the most famous player right now, it doesn't have to be like this, does it?"

"Besides, isn't President Qin Guan usually someone who doesn't show his face? Why has he changed his tune today? Something big is definitely going to happen!"

Besides the general audience, the players who made it into the main tournament were also watching the other side from their respective seats. The match between Lin Xuan and the president would take place here.

"It's one thing for Lin Xuan to refuse to say anything, but when did you become so tight-lipped?"

Song Chen glanced at Bai Yao, who was still eating sunflower seeds, and was speechless for a moment. After fooling her for so long, Bai Yao really didn't reveal a single word, except for one sentence - "You'll find out in a bit."

It's obvious that Lin Xuan learned it.

"Just watch, it's going to be amazing!"

Knowing about the super evolution, Bai Yao naturally watched the battlefield with anticipation. Soon, as the lights converged, Lin Xuan and Qin Guan appeared on either side of the stage.

"Should we come straight here?"

Lin Xuan glanced at Qin Guan again to confirm, and then looked around at the audience. It was the first time they had fought on such a big stage, but there was nothing to be nervous about. He was only slightly better than Qin Guan in the provincial competition.

"Well, let's give everyone a surprise."

Qin Guan smiled and said to Lin Xuan, and then the battle officially began as a countdown appeared on the screen behind them.

3, 2, 1!

"The battle begins!"

"Go, Gallade!"

"Go ahead, Blastoise!"

Lin Xuan naturally sent out Gallade, while Qin Guan's Pokémon was Blastoise, which was also found to have a Mega Evolution form.

Just as the two players released their Pokémon and everyone was discussing who had a better chance of winning, Lin Xuan suddenly raised one hand. With the help of Aura, his voice instantly drowned out all the noise in the arena.

"Gallade, Mega Evolve!"

Chapter 404 The Power of Overpower?

When Lin Xuan said those words, the entire venue seemed to fall silent instantly. Everyone stared at Lin Xuan and the Gallade on the battlefield with disbelief, even in the official live stream.

What did Mimikyu-sensei just say? Evolution?

【? ? ? 】

Gallade can evolve?

But before Lin Xuan could give them an answer, a bright light flashed from the key stone on Lin Xuan's bracelet, and at the same time, the light of evolution appeared on Gallade's body, leaving everyone stunned.

No one in the room dared to speak at that moment, because no one knew what was going on in front of them.

Why can Gallade evolve? And—what is Mega Evolution that Lin Xuan mentioned earlier?

"Super evolution, which is evolution beyond evolution."

But just as everyone was stunned, Lin Xuan looked at Gallade and said that with the help of Aura, his voice could be heard by everyone in the arena.

"Evolution beyond evolution? Hyper-evolution?"

Not only the audience, but many of the contestants sitting in the audience were not in much better shape either. Song Chen kept repeating what Lin Xuan had just said, and for a moment he was having trouble processing it.

Then he suddenly turned his gaze to Bai Yao, who was standing to the side. Bai Yao did not show any surprise on her face, but was looking at Gallade with some curiosity.

After all, although she knew that Gallade could Mega Evolve, this was the first time she had ever seen such a Mega Evolution form.

"So you already knew, didn't you?"

Song Chen immediately questioned him.

"Of course, Lin Xuan told me this several months ago when we were in Jianghai City."

Bai Yao chuckled, which made the people on the side grit their teeth.

Even though Ryūxing had prepared himself mentally, he was still quite frightened when he saw this scene.

The contestants' seats were in the best locations, and they were close to the viewer. With his Dragon Taming Power, he immediately sensed the special power emanating from Lin Xuan and Gallade during their Mega Evolution.

"So...it really can evolve?"

After a brief silence, the entire arena was instantly filled with exclamations again. Countless people were discussing what Lin Xuan meant by "super evolution," and only a handful of people remained calm.

The alliance did an excellent job of keeping things secret, giving everyone a complete "surprise".

"President, it's your turn."

Lin Xuan glanced at Gallade, which had already completed its Mega Evolution. This was Gallade's first battle in its Mega Evolution form, and he was quite looking forward to it.

"Alright, let the show begin!"

Qin Guan just smiled at Lin Xuan's words, and then, without any Key Stones on his body, Blastoise began to emit the glow of Mega Evolution.

Lin Xuan was taken aback when he saw this. His aura was constantly observing his surroundings, and he could keenly detect that Qin Guan's super evolution seemed to be somewhat different from his own.

Why didn't I see the Super Stone?

Furthermore, it seems that something is missing during the super evolution.

Mega Evolution requires a strong bond between the trainer and the Pokémon; otherwise, even if Mega Evolution is forced to complete, the Pokémon will not be able to control this sudden power.

Lin Xuan could sense that there seemed to be no bond between Qin Guan and the Blastoise. Not to mention a bond, there didn't even seem to be a Key Stone.

The three essential elements for Mega Evolution—Key Stone, Mega Stone, and the bond between Pokémon and Trainer—were reduced to just the Mega Stone in Qin Guan's case, yet he still seemed to have successfully completed the evolution. This scene made Lin Xuan gasp in astonishment.

Sure enough, I'm not the main character at all; it's my advisor who's the real protagonist, okay? Can you please not be so overbearing?!

[Holy crap? Another super evolution?]

So, is this so-called Mega Evolution something all Pokémon possess?

[Look, both Pokémon seem to be carrying something when they enter the battle. Could it be an item needed for Mega Evolution?]

[Now I think I understand why it was Mimikyu-sensei—could it be that he discovered Mega Evolution again?]

Your suspicion is perfectly reasonable!

This seems to be the only explanation, since the expressions on the faces of everyone present, including many of the players, were captured on camera during the live broadcast. Even some of the players who were considered favorites to win the championship had blank expressions as if they knew nothing.

Subsequently, many people also noticed Lin Xuan's "family and friends group".

Judging from the expressions of Brother Guai Li and Contestant Long Xing, they really do seem to know nothing!

[No, Bai Yao wasn't surprised at all. Teacher Mimikyu must have told her beforehand!]

[As expected of Teacher Mimiqiu, he only told Senior Sister Bai Yao this.]

I can already feel the murderous glint in the eyes of the Mighty Guy and his gang.

"What are you standing there for? Let me make this clear first, I won't hold back."

Qin Guan saw that Lin Xuan seemed a little stunned, so he smiled and reminded her.

"You go first, or you'll say I'm bullying a child!"

Lin Xuan did not refute Qin Guan's words, because in front of him, she was indeed just a child.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Gallade, go up and use Swords Dance!"

Lin Xuan raised his hand and said to Gallade. This scene was a bit unusual. After all, the best way to enhance a skill like Swords Dance is to find a corner and do it quietly. Why rush up like this?

However, at this moment, everyone's attention was drawn away, and few people cared about the battle anymore. Almost everyone's attention was focused on the super evolution, and the League's official website also released information related to super evolution the moment the battle started.

However, this is irrelevant to Lin Xuan for the time being, since what he needs to do now is win the current battle.

"If I remember correctly... this guy's super-evolved ability is mental power, right? Damn! It's not as good as my super launcher!"

Qin Guan grinned as he watched Gallade charge forward, and at the same time, Blastoise aimed its cannon at Gallade and unleashed a powerful jet of water.

However, there is one awkward thing about the Super Launcher ability: both Pokémon that have it are Water-type, but there is only one strongest Pulse-type move of the Water type – Water Pulse with a power of 60.

"Blastoise doesn't know Root Pulse, at most it can only use Water Pulse—oh my god!"

Even Lin Xuan was startled by Blastoise's Water Pulse. This is called Water Pulse? Who has ever seen a Water Pulse that is thicker and more powerful than a Water Cannon?

Although Squirtle also has the Super Launcher ability, the two are not even in the same league in terms of output. Not to mention, Super Blastoise is not only powerful in terms of output, but also a tank!

None of the starter Pokémon's Mega Evolution forms are weak—except for that useless Sceptile.

However, Lin Xuan was only startled and did not back down. When Water Pulse hit Gallade, Gallade's Swords Dance speed seemed to slow down to the naked eye. But this was only what the naked eye saw. In reality, Gallade's Swords Dance speed was faster.

Under the sword dance, all the water flowing towards him was blocked, forming a ring around him, but it was all blocked.

"Not bad, you came up with this trick yourself?"

Qin Guan nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this scene, but just as Lin Xuan was about to retort, he saw Blastoise fire two more Water Pulse shots at him.

"President, you attacked me from behind!"

Just as Lin Xuan was about to speak, Qin Guan fired a cannon, but luckily Lin Xuan reacted quickly.

Don't let Gallade's cool appearance fool you; it's a super launcher! It can block one shot, but it can't stop more than that, so even Gallade can only temporarily avoid its attacks.

Like a tai chi symbol, the water flowing around Gallade returned along its original path at a slightly slower speed, and after blocking the attack for a short time, it also dodged to the side.

At the same time, Blastoise had completed its Sword Dance. Logically speaking, Blastoise was already at a huge disadvantage at this point. Even if it used Iron Wall to strengthen its defense, it would be useless, as the Holy Sword skill could directly ignore the opponent's ability enhancements.

However, Lin Xuan soon noticed that the smile on Qin Guan's face not only did not diminish, but actually increased slightly.
