Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Master Itachi quickly lost his ability to battle, and in turn, Dragonite was directly entangled by Will-O-Wisp. Infernal even used another attack and made a threat, after all, Dragonite can not only go for physical attack, but also go for special attack.

During this time, Tyranitar also helped a lot, essentially delivering a finishing blow to his master Itachi.

However, Dragonite was hit by Will-O-Wisp and Throwing a Taunt in succession, and it became useless.

At this moment, Lin Xuan's Incineroar in the front field returned to its Poké Ball, so the last two Pokémon Lin Xuan sent out were naturally Vaporeon and Umbreon!

Another difference from games is that burns, poisoning, and other conditions can coexist in real life, so—

"Extremely poisonous! Extremely poisonous!"

Two streams of poison flew directly toward the two Pokémon. Dragonite managed to dodge them with its incredible speed, but Tyranitar was the one taking the hits, its skin turning an unusual purple color in an instant.

After dodging the poison, Dragonite used Dragon Pulse on Vaporeon, and Tyranitar also used Stone Edge, targeting Vaporeon.

"Want to focus fire?"

Lin Xuan immediately guessed the old man's intention. Umbreon was too tanky and difficult to kill quickly, and it also had the Moonbeam skill. It would be more practical to deal with Vaporeon first.

Unfortunately, Vaporeon isn't so easy to deal with either.

A water ring instantly appeared around Vaporeon's body—the Water Ring!

Seeing this, Little Dot and Eevee yawned in unison, already anticipating how boring the upcoming battle would be.

Although Lin Xuan hadn't used them much, he seemed quite familiar with these strange tactics.

At this moment, Lin Xuan's face was also quite excited. After all, when he used Little Point, Eevee and the others to defeat his opponents, he basically relied on pure strength—at least that's how it has been recently.

But in Lin Xuan's heart, he was still that model young man who wanted to play "substitute defense poison"! And today, this dream has finally been partially fulfilled. At least Lin Xuan can truly experience the pleasure of using the sub-team to annoy the opponent here.

Knowing that the opponent could not switch positions, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to defeat either Tyranitar or Dragonite. Instead, he focused his attacks on Dragonite while slowly waiting for Tyranitar to die from the poison.

With Umbreon's restraint and the effect of its own Water Ring, Vaporeon was able to hold on until both Pokémon fell.

Umbreon and Vaporeon are almost two extremes. Umbreon has almost no wounds on its body. The few wounds it has are from when it blocked a move for Vaporeon. The opponent is completely focusing its attacks on Vaporeon.

Dragon Pulse and Crunch were all used, and Dragonite even used a reckless Meteor Shower at the end.

Lin Xuan could also tell that this Dragonite had been training towards physical attack from the beginning. So when it used moves like Dragon Pulse and Meteor Shower, although the power was not bad, it was not as sharp as when it used Wings.

In addition, Lin Xuan timed it perfectly, which is why the two Pokémon fell down almost at the same time. As for Vaporeon, although it was already showing signs of weakening, it ultimately did not fall down.

Lin Xuan even gave the old man a slightly provocative look, but the old man only returned the look indifferently, as if to say: Young man, don't be too young, watch out!

Then he threw out two Poké Balls, and then—Lin Xuan suffered cardiac arrest.

Two Pokémon, one is Bisharp, and the other is Lucario!

"Are the Pokémon you selected so selectively?"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Isn't this a bit too targeted? I won't even mention the two pseudo-legendary Pokémon from before, but now we have to add Bisharp and Lucario?"

It's not that these two Pokémon are stronger than pseudo-legendary Pokémon, but rather that they are too effective against Lin Xuan's team.

Bisharp is most likely to have the Defiant ability. If Infernape dares to Intimidate you, it will instantly cleave you in two, showing you what counter-Intimidate is all about. As for Lucario, it is not only a Fighting-type, which is super effective against Infernape, but it is also a dual-wielding type. Even if it gets set on fire by Will-O-Wisp, it can still be taken down by a Wave Missile.

Even if Incineroar wanted to use its Roaring Voice ability, it would still have tricks up its sleeve and couldn't compete with its Speed ​​Boost. As for the last point—both of these Pokémon are Steel-type, so they are completely immune to Umbreon's poison.

Therefore, these two Pokémon are quite targeted, especially since Lin Xuan's Umbreon and Vaporeon don't have any switching moves, so they can completely imitate Lin Xuan's previous methods.

The two Pokémon were firmly pinned on the field. Otherwise, since Incineroar is a Fire-type, a Flare Blitz attack might have offered some hope.

However, just as Lin Xuan had expected, the old man completely copied his tactics, controlling Vaporeon while having Lucario start to strengthen and use Aura Sphere, ultimately defeating both Eevee at the same time.

Even the strongest Incineroar in the universe couldn't do anything against the already enhanced Lucario, not to mention there was also a Bisharp standing next to it. Lin Xuan was soon forced to type "gg".

But Lin Xuan was very dissatisfied, extremely dissatisfied, because this was completely being targeted by the damn system!

"How are we supposed to fight with such a targeted Pokémon?!"

Lin Xuan immediately scratched his head and said that he had reason to suspect that the old man had chosen his two remaining Pokémon after he had used all of his Pokémon.

The old man seemed to notice the suspicious look in Lin Xuan's eyes and immediately explained:

"No doubt about it, I was specifically chosen after you."

Lin Xuan: ...

I never expected you to be so honest!

The old man continued:

"However, it's quite impressive that you've made it this far on the road to the championship in such a short time. To get this far, you must have defeated at least four or five other examiners ahead of you."

"Huh? Four or five?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously realized that something was wrong.

"Excuse me, could you please tell me the general process before the Road to the Championship?"

The old man then looked at Lin Xuan with a strange expression.

"The desert is the largest section of the Path of Champions, so it has the most trials. This is the last one for me. Along the way, there are also guidance signs from the Alliance to guide the trial participants on the right path."

Lin Xuan understood, she completely understood—she had been tricked again!

Chapter 456 Breeder

Lin Xuan immediately realized that Qin Guan had changed the original signs in the desert, otherwise he would have led her here, even though this was clearly the middle to later part of the Champion's Road!

Then Lin Xuan thought of a question and couldn't help but ask the old man:

"Was there a man named Zhong Mingyi here last year?"

According to Qin Guan's previous statement, Zhong Mingyi also failed in the later stages of his journey to the championship, so is this the place?

If so, then the difficulty here is indeed exceptionally high. Moreover, it doesn't just test the trainer's simple strength, but requires comprehensive consideration from multiple aspects, such as understanding the various Pokémon and arranging battles.

Since they're not using their own Pokémon, there's naturally no requirement regarding strength.

But Lin Xuan preferred a fair fight; she wasn't afraid of Xiao Dian at all now, but unfortunately...

Moreover, luck also plays a role, since getting Dragonite and getting pseudo-legendary Dragonite are two completely different experiences.

The strength of a pseudo-god is stronger than others of the same level. Lin Xuan previously relied on "annoying" tactics to forcefully trade away the opponent's Dragonite and Tyranitar. There is no guarantee that he will have such a good opportunity again.

The old man nodded without hesitation when asked Lin Xuan's question.

"You mean that kid? He did fail here. I vaguely remember him. He's been here since, but... he still hasn't succeeded."

The old man smiled and nodded, while Lin Xuan gasped. Zhong Ming had come to the championship road more than once, and had even challenged this place many times, but had never succeeded, which gave Lin Xuan a headache.

What's the key to breaking this deadlock? You can't really expect to pull a few powerful Pokémon and then sweep through the competition, can you? Although Lin Xuan has some confidence in his luck, it just doesn't seem likely!

"No rush. The next trial is in three days. You can take a good rest during these three days. We can talk about the rest later."

The old man smiled and shook his head. After all, the difficulty was at its maximum, so he should at least be given enough time. However, he himself did not think that giving that much time was really necessary.

It all depends on the challenger's talent and ability. As for Lin Xuan in front of him... he felt that he still had some chance if he drew a good enough Pokémon.

"Then what Pokémon will I use next time..."

"Let's talk about it when it's almost time."

"So what should I do these next few days?"

Lin Xuan was immediately puzzled. After all, if time was to be given for the trial challenge, shouldn't the list of Pokémon used be provided so that Lin Xuan could learn more about them? Otherwise, what could Lin Xuan possibly do in a place like this?

But the old man didn't answer Lin Xuan's question directly; instead, he asked another question in return—

Where do you think the Pokémon here come from?

Lin Xuan paused for a moment, then slowly replied:

"The Pokémon from the League, there are so many, more than a hundred, only the League could provide them."

But to Lin Xuan's surprise, the old man shook his head upon hearing these words.

"All the Pokémon here were bred by me."

Lin Xuan, along with Xiao Dian and Yi Bu, all stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous.

After all, there are over a hundred Pokémon here! How could one person possibly raise them all?

"Are you kidding?"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched, but seeing the old man's reaction, he realized that this seemingly impossible thing was very likely the truth: all the Pokémon here were bred by the old man alone!

"I wouldn't call myself a trainer. I only have a general understanding of battles, so as you can see, I barely gave any commands during the battle. It was mostly the Pokémon that did what they did."

"So you ended up sending out Lucario and Bisharp in the end?"

"It's normal to know a little about the Pokémon you've bred. I'm very familiar with their strengths and weaknesses."

The old man explained, and Lin Xuan recalled that the old man had indeed not said much during the battle. Lin Xuan had originally thought that he was unwilling to speak, after all, in Lin Xuan's eyes, the old man still had a bit of a "reclusive master" filter, so this seemed to make sense.

But who knew, he really wasn't very good at it...

"But even without expertise in battles, being able to raise so many powerful Pokémon is already quite impressive."

Lin Xuan didn't believe that a breeder who could produce so many four-star Pokémon would be completely ignorant of battle strategies. At most, they might be slightly less skilled, but they certainly wouldn't be completely clueless.

"As a breeder, I firmly believe that although each Pokémon has different talents and species, we as breeders must try our best to tap into all of the Pokémon's potential."

The old man glanced at Lin Xuan and the Eevee and the family of rats who followed him, and nodded with some satisfaction.
