Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

[Perhaps it simply didn't meet expectations?]

[I feel like even a normal Garchomp wouldn't lose to many Mega Evolved Pokémon, right?]

"I'll just mention one thing here: Mega Garchomp becomes slower after evolving."

Lin Xuan simply stated the truth, and he didn't care how people would evaluate it afterwards. At the same time, he also released Garchomp's "Sand Power" ability.

Oh no, these are really going to be removed from the Pokédex along with Steelix!

[The Sand Force Brothers?]

[Is this... is this a nerf to prevent Garchomp from becoming too strong after Mega Evolution?]

There are Pokémon that become slower after Mega Evolution, such as Mega Abomasnow. However, Abomasnow was already slow to begin with, so allocating that speed to other abilities is fine. In fact, the slower speed makes Abomasnow more suitable for Trick Room teams, which is definitely a good thing. But for Garchomp—

The person who designed Super Garchomp must be a Garchomp hater! How could they make such a stupid design?

And seemingly to make a comparison with Mega Garchomp, Lin Xuan released the next pseudo-legendary Mega Evolution.

Salamence? Another pseudo-legendary Pokémon?

I suspect this might be similar to the Garchomp mentioned earlier.

[Possibly, so it could be—a characteristic of tension?]

[Let's create a sense of pressure, that's enough.]

Seeing the comments section filled with people pessimistic about Salamence because of Garchomp, Lin Xuan didn't say much.

"I'll just say one thing: this guy's characteristic—the Sky Skin—is the same as Kairoos's."

Although the "flight skin" feature didn't exist before, there were already regular and electric skins. Furthermore, Lin Xuan had already introduced the "flight skin" feature when introducing Kairos, so the audience erupted in excitement once again.

Isn't this a bit too much of bullying of the dragon?

Why is Salamence the Sky skin, while my Garchomp is the Sand Force skin?

[Giving this an earth-themed skin isn't too much to ask, is it?]

Sky Skin and Sand Power are two completely incomparable characteristics; they have no basis for comparison whatsoever.

"Next up are Metagross and Tyranitar... you can see for yourselves."

Lin Xuan was at a loss for words and directly released the introductions of Mega Tyranitar and Metagross.

Leaving aside Metagross's Hard Claws, Tyranitar also has the Sand Stream ability, which, while not exactly a merit, is at least not a fault. Not to mention, Tyranitar can also use Dragon Dance!

Of the four pseudo-legendary beings, only one has a useless trait.

Isn't this targeting a bit too obvious?

Just as Lin Xuan finished talking about these Pokémon and was about to leave work, her phone suddenly rang. Lin Xuan very skillfully ended the call and answered the phone. It was from Longxing.

That guy ran very fast yesterday. After seeing that Bai Yao was tired of chasing him, he simply ran away with Song Chen and Cheng Si, so that Lin Xuan didn't even have a chance to teach them a lesson.

You like watching plays, right?

"Hey……"

"Tell me first, is the Mega Evolution of Garchomp true?"

Before Lin Xuan could finish her greeting, she heard Long Xing say something anxiously. Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's anger immediately dissipated.

That poor kid!

"Ahem, although Garchomp's speed has decreased and its ability has become useless after Mega Evolution, at least it has improved in many other aspects. Don't worry about it!"

Lin Xuan comforted him in this way, explaining that unlike others, even though most trainers who possess Garchomp are powerful, obtaining a Mega Stone is still extremely difficult. However, it wasn't impossible for Long Xing, so he was still particularly concerned about Garchomp's Mega Evolution. Who knew...

"You're really good at comforting people."

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Long Xing not only didn't feel better, but felt even more depressed.

"On the bright side, no matter what, there's still Steelix to fall back on, right? And..."

Lin Xuan racked her brains for a moment before finally speaking.

"Think about it, my Gallade also changed its Sharp ability to Psychic after Mega Evolution, right? We're pretty much the same."

Lin Xuan could have saved his Gallade by retaining the Sharpness ability, which was a bug. Long Xing then continued to ask:

"So Gallade's speed also decreases after Mega Evolution?"

"Uh... no, the improvement is still quite significant... Hello? Hello! Hello!!! This unlucky kid, why did he hang up before I finished speaking?"

Lin Xuan glanced at the phone. After she said those words, Long Xing hung up the phone. Garchomp was Long Xing's starter Pokémon, so it was already quite good that it could Mega Evolve. Song Chen's main Pokémon didn't even have any that could Mega Evolve.

Bai Yao refers to Heracross and Blaziken. Blaziken's strength is still a bit lacking, while Heracross is quite good, but getting the Mega Stone is a bit troublesome.

After Long Xing's call ended, Lin Xuan received another call from the hotel reception.

“Mr. Lin Xuan, someone here is looking for you. They say they have something for you.”

"Okay, I'll come right away!"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and she ran downstairs. Then, as if she remembered something, she ran back to the room and pulled out Gallade, who was meditating.

"Take me downstairs to get something."

"Ailu~"

Gallade sighed. Lin Xuan had become increasingly lazy lately since learning that he could teleport him for short distances. Now, he even needed to be carried downstairs by himself.

But even with that thought in mind, she still stood up and took Lin Xuan downstairs.

"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin Xuan?"

The hotel receptionist had just hung up the phone when Lin Xuan appeared in front of her, and she was almost scared to death.

"Ahem, I was just about to go downstairs, so where is the person looking for me?"

Lin Xuan explained while asking questions.

"Oh, there it is!"

The staff member pointed to the man standing next to Lin Xuan, who also seemed startled by Lin Xuan's sudden appearance.

"Hello, this is something the chairman asked me to give you. Please keep it safe."

Taking a deep breath, the man knew what was in the box and how important it was, and carefully spoke to Lin Xuan.

Chapter 408 Hell Level Difficulty

Lin Xuan accepted the box directly. Inside were not only the Gyarados Mega Stone he had won from his advisor yesterday, but also other things that Lin Xuan had asked the professor to send. He hadn't expected them to arrive together, and the League had even thoughtfully packed them into a box.

"Thank you very much."

Lin Xuan took the box and immediately pulled Gallade upstairs.

"Go upstairs, just get to the door."

Lin Xuan said directly, and Gallade looked at the box in Lin Xuan's hand with some doubt.

What's inside? Lin Xuan hadn't told him. If it was just a Gyarados Mega Stone, given Lin Xuan's personality, he would have gone straight back and opened the box.

"Super Stone, and—Key Stone."

Lin Xuan said directly, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared at the door of the room.

Gallade was taken aback by Lin Xuan's words. Key Stone? Didn't Lin Xuan already have one?

According to the League's research, one Key Stone can correspond to multiple Mega Stones, so no matter how many Pokémon a trainer has that need Mega Evolution, one Key Stone is enough. Therefore, the Key Stone that Lin Xuan got is definitely not for his own use.

"Song Chen is unlucky; out of so many Pokémon, not a single one can Mega Evolve."

Lin Xuan muttered to himself, otherwise he could have helped get a set himself.

For example, the set of super stones and keystones that Lin Xuan is holding at this moment was borrowed from the doctor's research institute.

The research institute has a lot of Super Stones and Key Stones, so it wouldn't be a problem for Lin Xuan to borrow some. Besides, Lin Xuan himself also has a Super Stone stored in the research institute, so he could exchange it for another one.

As for Cheng Si and Long Xing, Long Xing doesn't really need super evolution. After all, even if he did super evolution, he would still be considered successful if he could make it to the final elimination round, but it wouldn't have much significance.

The time when Longxing will truly unleash his power will be two years later, and at that time he will no longer need Lin Xuan's help. The Yulong family will definitely prepare for Longxing. Although Garchomp's Mega Evolution is a bit of a trap, it's better than nothing, right?

As for Cheng Si—without even Lin Xuan's help, Imperial University had already borrowed a set of evolution stones for Cheng Si. After all, Cheng Si could be considered Imperial University's only hope this time, so naturally they hoped that his grades would be better.

And even if Lin Xuan were to get a few more sets... he wouldn't be able to! After all, he couldn't just borrow things from the research institute; two sets would be the limit.

Boom boom boom!

As Lin Xuan took the Gyarados Mega Evolution key out of the box, he knocked on Bai Yao's door. Soon, Bai Yao poked her head out of the room and looked at Lin Xuan with some confusion.

"What do you want to do? Take revenge?"

Lin Xuan rolled her eyes at Yao, somewhat speechless, and then threw the box in her hand at her.

"I'll borrow it from you. Remember to return it after the match."

"Borrowed from me?" Bai Yao was a little bewildered after taking the box. She looked it over and even shook it a couple of times to listen to what was inside, but then she became even more confused.

"what?"

"You'll see when you open it. Just remember to return it to me after the competition! I borrowed it from somewhere else."

Lin Xuan was too lazy to say anything more; this guy hadn't held back at all last night.
