Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

The next day, in the front row of the Alliance Arena, Zhong Mingyi sat in the middle, with Song Chen and Long Xing next to him. Long Xing looked at Zhong Mingyi with the expression of a little fanboy.

Zhong Ming coughed twice, but his expression clearly showed that he was enjoying it, to the point that Song Chen, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.

However, there was a time when I seemed to be like Long Xing. But then I realized that, to some extent, Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi's personalities were indeed similar. Could this be the connection between geniuses?

"Ahem, long time no see. Although you didn't make it into the knockout stage this time, it's still pretty good. At least you're better than Song Chen before."

Zhong Mingyi seemed to be thinking about how mediocre Longxing's performance this time, so he offered this words of comfort, but—

Song Chen: ? ? ?

Why is it my business again?

"I will continue to work hard next year!"

Long Xing stated directly that with the rules changed, a tournament will be held every year, so there shouldn't be any problem for Long Xing to enter the knockout stage next year, which will be the time when he can truly start to perform.

As for Lin Xuan... Zhong Mingyi had no doubts.

Although Lin Xuan has a strong opponent like Chu Jingyun this year, she probably has little hope, and is even unlucky enough to meet him in the semi-finals. But if it comes to next year, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the championship will definitely be Lin Xuan's.

"Alright, let's watch the game."

Zhong Mingyi continued to act like a "reclusive master." Song Chen thought about it and realized that Long Xing hadn't been on the same team as Zhong Mingyi on that island, so he might not understand Zhong Mingyi's true nature, which was why he showed this expression at this moment.

Although she didn't know much about the situation like Song Chen, Long Aiai still gave Long Xing a somewhat disdainful look.

This guy only shows this kind of expression at times like this. However, although Zhong Mingyi is very strong, he still seems to be a little weaker than Lin Xuan. After all, if Lin Xuan were to reach Zhong Mingyi's level, his strength would definitely be even greater.

It might not even be long before, by this time next year... Lin Xuan should be no weaker than Zhong Mingyi.

After all, given Lin Xuan's previous rate of progress, this wasn't impossible.

However, after Zhong Mingyi finished speaking, both Long Xing and Song Chen immediately turned their attention to the battlefield. Long Aiai did the same, since this opponent was arguably the strongest Lin Xuan had encountered since participating in the tournament.

"Hello?"

Lin Xuan tried to greet him, while glancing at the ground beneath her feet. It was repaired so quickly!

Just a few days ago, Lin Xuan practically demolished this place, leaving it in ruins.

It's only been two days and it's already been rebuilt. The league is really fast.

It seems that because they were still in the same arena, the referee was still the same one.

Jiang Quan didn't react to Lin Xuan's greeting, as if his expression was always the same and wouldn't change.

But the referee on the other side couldn't sit still any longer and started thinking about where he would be standing later.

If you stand even slightly closer, you might be directly affected by Lin Xuan's attack.

Thinking back to the grand scene the day before yesterday...

The referee wiped the sweat from his forehead. Why was everyone else's match fine, but Lin Xuan's match was the only one that caused such a commotion?

Last year, during the finals between Zhong Mingyi and Chu Jingyun, things probably didn't escalate to that extent, right?

"Please, both players, get ready?"

Hearing the referee's voice, Lin Xuan couldn't help but look in that direction. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but the referee seemed to be standing further away than before!

Although the competition hasn't started yet, discussions have already begun both at the venue and in the live broadcast room.

[Go, Mimikyu-sensei!]

[At least make it to the semifinals!]

[By the way, does anyone know who that player on the other side is? I don't think I've heard of them before!]

[She seems to be a dark horse in this competition; I hadn't heard of her much before, just like Mimiu-sensei.]

[Teacher Mimikyu is indeed a dark horse; his heart is black.]

[I wonder how Teacher Mimikyu plans to play in today's match?]

As the referee announced the start of the match, the opposing player's eyes narrowed, and he immediately threw out his Poké Ball.

Based on his previous intelligence investigation of Lin Xuan, it is highly likely that he will not use his full strength with the first Pokémon, but will save it for the last one.

Therefore, besides choosing between Sylveon and Gyarados, the most likely first Pokémon to be Gallade is Gallade.

So in the end, he chose to send out Starmie, which, while not exactly an advantage, shouldn't be a disadvantage either.

But just as he threw the Poké Ball, Lin Xuan threw out Tiny instead.

"It's up to you now!"

Jiang Quan had just forcefully thrown the Poké Ball when he heard Lin Xuan's words and almost lost his balance and fell over.

What did you say? Smaller? Which electric squirrel? Using its ultimate move right from the start?

Seeing the puzzled look Jiang Quan was giving her, Lin Xuan returned a similar look.

Any questions?

[Wow, Mimikyu-sensei started with a small point?]

[The opponent almost lost their footing]

【Hahahahaha! 】

[As expected of Mimikyu-sensei, she does things in a way that's truly unique.]

In fact, during a match, many players choose to save their strongest players for later in order to conserve their stamina. Sending them out at the beginning makes it easier to encounter opponents who can counter them and also depletes their stamina.

But Lin Xuan clearly didn't care about any of that and just threw the small snack up there.

"Dandan!"

Tiny clenched its little paws and taunted Starmie, who was not far away. Starmie turned around and glanced at its trainer.

Are you sure you don't want me to be the one getting killed?

For some reason, the image of Rowlet looking at Groudon inexplicably popped into Lin Xuan's mind, and the current situation seemed somewhat similar.

Gem Hisense had learned about Lin Xuan's previous battle from Jiang Quan, so he was immediately alarmed when he saw Xiao Dian.

How can you play if you can't even restrain yourself?

"Gem Starfish, come back!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Quan immediately retrieved Starmie. Although it would use up one of his Pokémon trading opportunities, it was still better than giving away a Starmie, right?

Therefore, after Jiang Quan retrieved the gem starfish, he sent out the three-headed dragon.

Lin Xuan didn't know how Jiang Quan had trained his Pokémon, but judging from his previous battles with Senior Brother Liu Quan, the strength of his main Pokémon was surprisingly even.

In other words, the three Metagross pseudo-legendary Pokémon are slightly more outstanding, but the difference is not actually that big. This could be considered Jiang Quan's special breeding method.

Lin Xuan didn't know much about it, but facing the three-headed dragon, Lin Xuan had no intention of switching to the smaller one. There was no need; he could just fight it head-on!

"Dragon Wave!"

"One hundred thousand volts!"

Without hesitation, the two began to test each other. The smaller Thunderbolt and Hydreigon's Dragon Pulse collided in mid-air, but... the smaller Thunderbolt instantly overwhelmed it.

The electric current surged past the dragon's energy wave and reached him directly. The three heads of the three-headed dragon were startled and then raised their bodies, barely managing to dodge the attack.

"Is even the electric current this strong?"

Jiang Quan muttered to himself. He had indeed seen Xiao Dian's special burst attack before, but he thought it should be at the level of an ultimate move and not so easy to use. However, he did not expect that even a basic attack would be so strong.

Although it was all a test, the three-headed dragon used almost ninety percent of its power.

This means that even if they use their full strength, they are unlikely to be a match for the opponent.

So Jiang Quan's decision was simple: he let the three-headed dragons start fighting a drawn-out battle, allowing him and Xiao Dian to wear each other down.

If it really came down to a long fight, he felt that Lin Xuan was no match for him.

Lin Xuan originally only submitted five Pokémon, two of which were below four-star level. Only Gyarados was slightly threatening after Mega Evolution, but the only Pokémon that could be considered opponents were Gallade and the other two.

That's like he was playing six against three, how could he possibly lose?!

But when it comes to pulling and tugging, Hydreigon still seems to be no match for Little Point. Little Point's speed is simply too fast, far exceeding Hydreigon's. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of him, and then—the electric net!

The powerful electric grid completely enveloped the three-headed dragon, rendering it unable to move.

However, the three-headed dragon was still much stronger than the opponents Little Point had encountered before, and Little Point did not choose to continue using the electric net to control it immediately, so the electric net was quickly broken free.

Even so, the speed of the three-headed dragon was affected to some extent again.

And then it was time for the little one to perform!

The same powerful electric current and flames that he had witnessed during his battle with Long Xiao reappeared in front of Xiao Dian. Jiang Quan immediately realized what he was about to do, so he spoke up immediately—

"Use Meteor Swarm!"

This skill is generally not used except in special circumstances. Although it has extremely powerful effects, the resulting drop in Special Attack is still fatal.

But at this point, I can't think about anything else; if I don't use it now, I'll die!

A powerful meteor shower gathered in the mouth of the three-headed dragon, instantly soaring into the air and transforming into countless meteors that crashed towards Xiaodian's location, hoping to counter Xiaodian's lightning and fire double strike with this level of attack.

but……

"Dandan~"
