Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Isn't it a bit unprofessional that the official website didn't even mention the name?"

Lin Xuan was furious when she saw the rather simple picture, and then simply gave the two of them a name.

"Then let's call him Tom on the left and Jerry on the right."

Lin Xuan believes she has a real talent for naming things.

【? ? ? 】

You're a naming genius!

Isn't this a bit unfair? It feels like Jerry's name is a natural counter to Tom's!

"As trainers, we shouldn't believe in such superstitious things, but rather in the strength of the trainers, understand?"

Lin Xuan solemnly reminded him, as if he had forgotten—he was the biggest source of superstition.

So much so that when Lin Xuan said these things, almost no one chose to believe him.

[Stop talking nonsense, the match is about to start!]

Your very existence is the most superstitious thing, isn't it?

[So, it's time for the classic segment again. Which contestant do you think is the best, Mr. Mimikyu?]

"Which player do you favor? We'll have to wait and see how they play their Pokémon later on. Let's keep an eye on them for now."

Just as Lin Xuan finished speaking, the two players threw out their Poké Balls together.

The two Pokémon are Crabcracker and Golisopod.

"These two Pokémon are quite similar, even very alike. They are both the kind of Pokémon that have great power but lack speed."

Lin Xuan was quite skilled at analysis. Although he hadn't commentated on matches for a while, his basic professionalism was still there.

"However, armored warriors have a slight edge in endurance, but their inherent characteristics hold them back."

Lin Xuan shook his head as he thought about this. Danger avoidance might have special uses in some situations, but in any case, it still occupies a place among the traits.

"Without switching Pokémon, trust me, brothers, Golisopod's Danger Avoid ability will definitely be triggered first, and then you'll have to switch Pokémon. But that's also an advantage, since using ability to switch doesn't count as a switch."

"All I can say is that Jerry gained the upper hand in the game from the very beginning!"

Both Pokémon are four-star level. So far, it seems that there are no five-star Pokémon that exceed the standard in the Unova Tournament, at least not yet.

I just don't know if it will appear in this match or the next final.

Lin Xuan felt it was quite possible.

Of course, the possibility of no five-star Pokémon appearing cannot be ruled out.

[It's over. Let's have a moment of silence for Jerry in advance.]

Is the long-awaited "poisonous milk" (a Chinese idiom for jinxing someone) finally back?

Dare to start a betting contest? I'm going all in on Tom!

So why are you all calling him Tom now?

Don't fuss over these details.

"Fine, let's go. All I can say is you guys have to trust me this time. When have I ever lied to you?"

Lin Xuan said somewhat unconvinced, "Although it's only the first Pokémon and can't prove anything, this kind of fair guessing game is more interesting." Lin Xuan quickly came up with his own solution.

But very quickly, in less than ten seconds, almost everyone went crazy and pounced on Tom, with very few following Lin Xuan.

"To those who don't believe me, I can only say that you missed a chance to be free with a coin, and it will be difficult to find such an opportunity again next time."

Lin Xuan reminded him with considerable displeasure while preparing to close the betting, but soon his face lit up with joy again.

"Congratulations to Zhong Mingyi for being such a handsome guy! Congratulations to this Bilibili user for betting 10,000 coins on Jerry! Trust me, you definitely won't regret it!"

After reading that sentence, Lin Xuan decisively closed the guessing game, not giving those guys a chance to back out.

Hmph, now that Zhong Mingyi has corroborated his testimony, these guys should finally believe their own judgment, right?

But it's too late to back out now!

[How foolish of you, Xiao Zhong!]

[Oh no, I think Xiao Zhong is going to get screwed over by Mimikyu-sensei again.]

Ladies and gentlemen, is there no one who chooses to believe in the two champions?

[Believe? I think I have a lot of faith in Teacher Mimiu.]

【It's because we trusted Mimikyu-sensei too much, young man】

After Lin Xuan's return, the popularity of his live stream has been soaring. The key point is that Lin Xuan shamelessly chose the beauty category, which made many people curious about who was the god who suddenly rose to the top of the list. However, when they clicked in, they saw Lin Xuan's embarrassing situation.

She certainly has the looks, but isn't her gender a little different from what we imagined? Perhaps dressing as a woman wouldn't be a bad idea?

While Lin Xuan was chatting, the battle on the other side had already begun. The first to make a move was Golem, who rushed forward and launched a head-on attack at the competitive Crab. The speed it displayed was not what one would expect from a slow Pokémon.

"While Head-On Strike can only be used when a Pokémon emerges from its Poké Ball, it can unleash the Pokémon's accumulated power in an instant, maximizing its speed while also providing strength."

If it weren't for the restriction that it could only be used when the enemy is in action, this move would be like the Bug-type Speed, and even more powerful.

Lin Xuan even thought that with such a trashy Bug-type attribute, giving it Extreme Speed ​​wouldn't be a problem, right? At worst, the power could be slightly reduced, since there are plenty of overpowered Bug-type moves anyway.

Putting everything else aside, what enhancement skill can compare to Butterfly Dance? Probably only Victory Dance, but the latter is an exclusive skill. But Butterfly Dance can basically be learned by anyone that looks like a flying insect.

Chapter 494 Poisonous Milk Turns into Fresh Milk? That's Impossible

"But facing the armored warrior's head-on attack, the competitive hairy crab did not admit defeat at all and went straight up with an Ice Fist. However, it was still no match for the armored warrior in terms of power, because the head-on attack required almost no preparation time. But the competitive hairy crab usually needs to prepare before using the Ice Fist. In the situation just now, he did not have any time to charge up his power."

As Lin Xuan spoke, it seemed like she was regaining her previous feeling.

"The competitive hairy crab was sent flying by a headbutt! See, I told you Golisopod had the advantage, right? And Golisopod's ability hasn't activated yet. If Jerry can pick a more effective Pokémon by then, that will be the most advantageous matchup. I think Tom should consider swapping Pokémon now."

Lin Xuan said that these guys who didn't follow his lead before will definitely regret it later!

"How about it? Feeling a little regretful now? Just wait and see, trust me, my little Zhong, you'll soon be living in a villa by the sea!"

Don't panic, brothers! Believe in yourselves and believe in Mimikyu!

【That's right, that's right, I'm not panicking at all (trembling)】

Oh no, could this be a case of poisoned milk turning into fresh milk?

[Could it be that being missing for so long has weakened Mimikyu-sensei's abilities? I can't accept that!]

[This is just the beginning! Just wait, Mimikyu-sensei's power spike is yet to come!]

Seeing that some people were still struggling, Lin Xuan scoffed at it.

These guys will definitely regret this. Now we just need to see how this armored warrior will react—wait, what?

Just as Lin Xuan focused his attention on the bullet comments, he turned his head and froze on the spot.

"Holy crap, how did it freeze?"

Because there was a slight delay of a few seconds between Lin Xuan's live stream and the chat, he didn't notice this when he was watching the chat, and only realized it when he turned back to the match.

While the armored warriors had the advantage before, everything changed once they were frozen.

【? ? ? 】

【Good, good, good, good】

So that's what they were waiting for. They've finally unleashed their power!

What can I say? Just like you!

[Competitive hairy crab: I suddenly sense a mysterious power!]

I want to report this; isn't this cheating?

[It's no use, this is a tournament hosted by United Nations, where can you report it?]

"Outrageous."

Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly, but she quickly took a deep breath to calm herself down.

The freezing effect quickly spread from the spot where the armored warrior had been hit to his entire body, instantly covering his entire body.

Unable to move for a moment, the opponent immediately seized the opportunity and launched a frenzied attack.

Everyone knew that the armored warrior was trying desperately to break free of the ice, but it was incredibly difficult.

When the armored warrior emerged from the frozen state, it transformed into a beam of light and rushed into Jerry's Poké Ball.

"Those of you who bet on Jerry with me, don't panic. We still have the advantage. All we need to do now is send out a Pokémon with a type advantage, and the opponent will have a hard time dealing with it. I can only say this time—the advantage is in my hands!"

In a competition, the armored warrior's previously somewhat useless traits suddenly become valuable.

So Lin Xuan only panicked for a moment, and quickly calmed down.

What's there to be afraid of? There's still a chance, isn't there? This is only the first Pokémon battle.

In reality, Lin Xuan knew that his guessing game was just a fun game involving maps.

Reality isn't a game; you can't actually categorize all Pokémon's power into the same level and then battle with them.

Simply put, if a five-star Pokémon were to appear at this point, even with a type disadvantage and poor stats, it could still easily defeat its opponent.
