Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

They've even started spreading rumors about him?

In fact, he had been invited to commentate on this match before, since Lin Xuan had only served as a commentator for the college league before—although he disappeared after the second half of the match, as for the reason...

The commentator went on the field! And he even won a championship!

After that, Lin Xuan actually received many more commentary invitations, but she did not accept any of them.

The main problem was a lack of time. When she took on the commentary job, she acted somewhat impulsively, which led to Lin Xuan being quite...unstable for a period of time.

He even thought that the reason he caught a cold during the semi-finals was mainly due to being chilled, but he was also quite tired during that period.

Lin Xuan is now physically stronger, so he should be able to handle several part-time jobs at the same time without any problems. But—he's not short of money now!

So he basically turned down all the commentary jobs.

His usual commentary is just casually chatting in the live stream, which is quite nice as a hobby—and it also earns some pocket money for Little Ibrahimovic and the others.

To be honest, even Lin Xuan himself doesn't know how much money he has now, but because of endorsement fees, his net worth is definitely not low, not to mention the prize money from league competitions.

The main reason Lin Xuan is still endorsing the brand isn't primarily because of the money, but rather... the clothes are genuinely very comfortable, so she treats it as a form of clothing purchase!

After Lin Xuan finished stacking her armor, the competition was about to begin.

"Because it's just a preliminary round, and the contestants are mostly novice trainers, each contestant can only use one Pokémon."

"At the same time, in order to prevent trainers from being forced to quit due to a single type advantage, a double-elimination system was adopted even though it was just a beginner's competition, rather than a simple elimination tournament."

Lin Xuan said this, and in fact, he does prefer this kind of competition to a simple knockout tournament.

However, due to the tight schedule, many matches were simply elimination rounds.

You said you encountered the strongest player right from the start? Sorry, that was just bad luck. Can't you look for the reasons within yourself? Why didn't the others encounter them?

Isn't it because you're not strong enough? Putting aside the facts, don't you have any faults at all?

Lin Xuan had timed it well, so the competition was about to begin.

In the first match, the Pokémon that both sides sent out were quite explosive!

Chapter 501 Rookies pecking each other

At this moment, what appeared in front of the two was a metal pod. Logically speaking, this was already heavy enough. When Lin Xuan first saw the metal pod, he thought, "Isn't this just giving the other side a free pass?"

However, unexpectedly, the two players were indeed evenly matched in this aspect.

Mommy's Little Fish!

Good, good, good, good!

When I saw those two Pokémon, I knew I'd made the right choice watching today's livestream!

[Yes, this is it! This is exactly what I want to see!]

[Every time I watch Mimiu's commentary on those amazing players' matches, it makes me lose confidence. Finally, I can have some fun!]

[It's just self-deception... although I really enjoyed watching it!]

Viewers in the live stream realized as soon as they saw the two Pokémon that today's match was bound to be of high quality, the kind that you couldn't miss.

It's still a bit difficult to see this kind of competition in Lin Xuan's live stream these days.

Many people may not be familiar with the Pokémon Squirtle, but its evolved form, Eelfin, is quite popular.

As a pure Electric-type floating Pokémon, it should be considered a Pokémon without any weaknesses.

Moreover, while their abilities in various aspects weren't particularly strong, they weren't bad either, and they were once capable of putting up a fight.

However, in Lin Xuan's opinion, the little fish before its evolution was probably only slightly stronger than Magikarp.

"This Pokémon, Little Fish... well, those who know, know. It should be a bit stronger than Magikarp."

Lin Xuan said with a strange expression, "Besides the strength of the Pokémon, there is another crucial point here."

That means this kind of Pokémon isn't suited for battles in this kind of place! How are you supposed to get Mama Fish to perform in this environment? There's not even a drop of water.

This is a problem that many Water-type Pokémon face. When people compete, they won't deliberately create a water-filled arena just because you're a Water-type Pokémon; that would be unfair to other trainers.

Therefore, if you watch past tournaments, you'll find that there are indeed strong players who are proficient in a certain type, but Water type is probably the rarest, the kind that can rival Bug type.

Although they are not bad in terms of strength, it is indeed difficult to achieve good results in this kind of competition environment, which is a very frustrating thing.

Therefore, Lin Xuan still greatly admires Master Yan Ming, after all, he is one of the few Water-type Pokémon masters in China.

It is precisely because of these factors that Water-type Pokémon are probably the most numerous in the world, but the proportion of Water-type Pokémon trainers has never been high, which is due to environmental issues.

But just as Lin Xuan was complaining, the Poké Ball on his body suddenly moved. Lin Xuan sensed it immediately; it was a Gyarados Poké Ball. So he said somewhat helplessly:

"Alright, alright, you were stronger than him when you were Magikarp!"

【Ha ha ha ha! 】

[Mimikyu's Gyarados is absolutely extraordinary, even in its Magikarp form!]

[Wait a minute, isn't that Mimikyu's alt account or a Suicune she hired?]

[Exactly! Shouldn't this place be full of Mimikyu-sensei haters? True fans, get out! This isn't for you!]

"Ahem, let's see what the other two audience members think about this upcoming match."

Lin Xuan adjusted the camera slightly and pointed it at Zhong Mingyi.

Zhong Mingyi's lips twitched; he hadn't expected Lin Xuan to pull this stunt.

"I'm a champion, you know! Is it really okay for me to comment on this level of match?" Zhong Mingyi was still worried about saying the wrong thing; it wouldn't be good if it accidentally got back to the two victims. So he could only reluctantly reply:

"Both players' Pokémon are very interesting. I haven't seen a competition like this in a long time, so I'm really looking forward to it and hope that both players can perform even better."

"All right?"

"All right."

"That's it?"

Lin Xuan expressed a disdainful question, while Zhong Mingyi really wanted to go up and punch him.

"Otherwise, what else do you want?"

"You're too serious. I feel like you've been a dojo master too many times," Lin Xuan said quite directly, and then continued:

"Let's see what another viewer has to say!"

Lin Xuan quickly turned the camera towards Bai Yao, and compared to Zhong Mingyi's reservedness, Bai Yao seemed a bit more unrestrained, and soon gave his opinion on the match.

"It's like two chickens pecking at each other!"

"Look how direct they are!"

Bai Yao made no attempt to hide her feelings, even speaking while eating potato chips. Then Lin Xuan turned to Zhong Mingyi and said something.

"I……"

Zhong Ming was speechless for a moment. How could he be the same as Bai Yao? Bai Yao was like that; he said whatever he wanted. The viewers in Lin Xuan's live stream should know Bai Yao a little, so they certainly wouldn't mind.

In addition, although Bai Yao was the runner-up in the league, he was not given any formal position.

Zhong Mingyi is different; after all, he's a dojo master and a champion, so he needs to be mindful of the impact he has!

【66666】

As expected of Senior Sister Bai Yao.

[They said what we wanted to say]

[Young Zhong should learn from others!]

"Ahem, enough of that. The competition is about to begin, so who do you think will win?"

After hearing Lin Xuan's question, Zhong Mingyi even thought about it seriously for a moment before slowly replying.

"I feel that Mamafish still has a slight advantage. Although Mamafish's movement is somewhat restricted on this kind of battlefield, it can still move around no matter what. However, Metapod can basically only stand still and passively take hits, so I still favor Metapod."

"Hmm, it seems our contestant Xiao Zhong has given very serious feedback. What about contestant Xiao Bai?"

Bai Yao had been seriously eating his potato chips since the beginning, and the expression on his face made the viewers in the live stream a little envious.

[Why don't you guys, Mimiu-sensei, take on a potato chip endorsement ad?]

[It really should be rented out!]

I feel like there are always a few advertising slots in Teacher Mimiqiu's live stream every day.

Bai Yao ate quite elegantly, simply grabbing the food and putting it in her mouth. Lin Xuan, on the other hand, had a wet wipe on her side, as if she had already gained experience in eating like this and had put it there in advance.

He had been peacefully eating potato chips, and only looked up at Lin Xuan when he called him "Xiao Bai," and casually remarked:

"Could you please not use such a puppy-like name?"

"Okay, Xiaobai, what are your thoughts on the match, Xiaobai?"

Not only that, Lin Xuan even had a rather irritating expression on his face, making Bai Yao want to punch him, but she couldn't beat him, so in the end Bai Yao could only offer four words.

"Me too."

Bai Yao and Zhong Mingyi shared similar views, both supporting the little mama fish.

Lin Xuan was in a similar situation. Although he felt that if he were there, he might be able to make that armored pupa struggle a bit, the gap was really hard to bridge. It was a pure difference in strength, not just a matter of good tactics.
