Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

The Naganadel tried desperately to create distance between itself and Gallade, but it was completely futile.

No matter how fast or where Naganadel moves, Gallade can always appear behind it in a strange way and then strike with its sword, leaving Naganadel feeling quite frustrated.

It's like when you're playing a marksman in a game, but before every team fight, an assassin always manages to appear precisely behind you, and no matter how you run, you can't escape.

The four-jawed needle dragon wanted to say that it had never fought such a difficult battle in its entire life!

Meanwhile, Xiao Su was cheering on her "big brother".

"Ahem, let me explain a little. The four-jawed needle dragon was raised by a family of rats, so... the four-jawed needle dragon might be considered Xiao Su's older brother."

【? ? ? 】

This is completely outrageous.

No wonder Xiao Su seemed so excited at the beginning.

So how were Xiaoxi and Xiaomi raised?

Wait, shouldn't it be Mimikyu-sensei who raises it?

[Is this even a question? Isn't it just because Mimikyu-sensei is too lazy that it's been set aside?]

[Perfectly reasonable!]

It can only be said that all the viewers in the live stream knew Lin Xuan very well and immediately understood what had happened. Lin Xuan wanted to explain, but then realized—this was the truth! There was no way to explain it!

However, the battle continued... Well, calling it a battle doesn't quite fit; it was more like one-sided bullying, with the Jawless Needle Dragon getting beaten up. He was almost in tears.

It finally managed to unleash a Dragon Pulse, but it was still shattered by Gallade's sword.

[Holy crap, is that a Dragon Pulse?]

[Is it really that thick? People might believe it was a meteor shower!]

But it was useless; Gallade easily countered it.

[This can't be blamed on Naganadel; Gallade is just too strong.]

Lin Xuan noticed that by this point in the battle, many people's curiosity about Naganadel had waned, mainly because Naganadel's performance in this battle wasn't particularly good, and it was constantly being pressured by Gallade.

However, it's important to understand that... the fact that the Four-jawed Needle Dragon was only being suppressed means that it could still put up a certain level of resistance, which is already quite impressive.

Even among Bai Yao's Pokémon right now, there are probably very few that can achieve this level.

Naganadel is also the Pokémon that Lin Xuan trained for the shortest time. How could it reach its current strength in such a short period of time? Even if it was Little Point back then, could it do that?

Lin Xuan recalled and calculated the training time; it seemed that Xiaodian was not as good as the Four-jawed Needle Dragon back then.

While the influence of the Dragon Taming Power is also present, it also demonstrates the potential of the Four-Jaw Needle Dragon.

The problem is that no one knows when Naganadel came into being, and therefore no one knows that this creature, which can barely compete with Gallade, is actually only a baby Pokémon a few months old.

The time frame was so short that even now, Little West and Gyarados scratch their heads when they see Jawthorne, the changes are just too great and the time frame is too short.

Naganadel took another hit from Gallade's Psychic Blade. It could sense that Gallade was holding back; otherwise, this single attack would have severely injured it. But giving up now seemed too tempting, so it had no choice but to—

At least give it your all and give it a try, right?

Their own power, combined with the aura power enhanced by Lin Xuan, converged completely on one point at this moment—a meteor shower!

It should be said that if Gallade had wanted to, it could have stopped Naganadel's Meteor Shower immediately, but it didn't. One reason was that it was confident enough, and another was that it wanted to see Naganadel's progress, and it also knew that this was what Lin Xuan wanted to see.

"Gallade, really, I'm going to cry."

Lin Xuan could understand what Gallade was thinking, but Bai Yao on the side just thought that this guy must have lost his mind again.

Or should I really stay away from this guy?

Then, very quickly, the viewers in the live stream saw that meteor shower—

You call this a meteor shower?

Let's just call it a meteorite hitting Earth; that would be more accurate.

[Are these Mimikyu's Pokémon? They're all overpowered?]

Chapter 522 Intermission

The Naganadel's meteor shower was indeed beyond many people's imagination, but compared to Gallade... it seems to be quite inferior.

Even Lin Xuan's gaze was drawn to it, mainly because Gallade at this moment seemed to give Lin Xuan a very familiar feeling.

In fact, it wasn't just Lin Xuan; even Bai Yao and some long-time viewers in the live stream felt the same way. Soon, Lin Xuan also realized where this feeling came from.

It was during the martial arts tournament in Jinhui City that I used that move with Gallade, and it was also during that time that I defeated Senior Sister Bai Yao head-on for the first time.

Although Bai Yao was partly to blame, if she had used her full strength from the beginning, the result would definitely not have been the same.

Although Lin Xuan never admitted it to himself, he was just being stubborn with Bai Yao. After all, it was his first victory, so how could he just let it go so easily?

But in reality, both Bai Yao and Lin Xuan knew that Bai Yao was stronger that time, and the reason she won was because of her relentless attack.

After mastering part of the essence of the One Strike, Gallade completely integrated that power into its own power system.

At this moment, all of Gallade's and Lin Xuan's efforts came to a head.

The holy sword slashed down!

What was already a spectacular meteor shower in everyone's eyes was as simple as cutting a piece of candy with a sharp sword in front of Gallade's Holy Sword; it was over with just a light swing.

"Match over, Gallade wins!"

After a brief silence, Lin Xuan announced the results.

However, the final attack only stopped in front of the Jaw-14 Needle Dragon and did not directly hit its body.

However, anyone with eyes who watched the entire battle would know that Gallade was simply holding back. Otherwise, this attack would have been enough to instantly kill Naganadel, without a doubt.

Even Lin Xuan was somewhat dazed. The feeling he got from the Jawless Serpent was very obvious, since its progress had never stopped after its evolution.

However, Gallade gave Lin Xuan another surprise. In the time since leaving the Ultra Cave and returning to this world, Gallade seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of the One-Hit Strike technique.

Should we find some time to go back to the Jinhui City Dojo? Maybe we can look for Master Kuma, the One-Strike Style practitioner there?

After all, Gallade may have its own insights into the One-Hit Strike style, but the final interpretation right definitely belongs to the Martial Arts Urshifu master. Only there can Lin Xuan and Gallade receive the best guidance.

Both Lin Xuan and Gallade realized this, but because they were still streaming, they put the matter aside for the time being.

"Alright, that's all for today's live stream. If you want to see the next match, you'll have to wait until tomorrow!"

【? ? ? 】

[It's over so quickly?]

[Only three matches have been played! Mimikyu-sensei, your stamina seems a bit lacking!]

[Quickly transfer my stamina trait to Teacher Minmi Nichiu!]

"Little Point and Ibrahimovic still need to rest. Tomorrow is the repechage and the final stage of the main tournament. As for the final battle... that will be later. It's hard to say when."

"Hey! The equipment here costs money too! It costs money every day!"

Zhong Mingyi complained to Lin Xuan, saying that although the money was borrowed from the alliance, they still had to pay it.

"Deduct it from my salary!"

Lin Xuan waved his hand generously, but after hearing this, Zhong Mingyi's face darkened. "Your salary? Isn't that paid by me?"

However, he still enjoyed the lively atmosphere. Anyway, if Lin Xuan's salary wasn't enough to cover it... he could use the rent as collateral. He had been staying at Lin Xuan's place for a while, so if it wasn't enough as collateral... then Zhong Ming shouldn't blame him for going over there to eat and drink for free!

"Alright, I'm off work today!"

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, she ended the broadcast without any hesitation. Fortunately, the long-time viewers in the live stream were already quite used to this.

They would only find it strange if Lin Xuan greeted them before ending the broadcast.

This situation is...perfectly normal!

After Lin Xuan finished her broadcast, she prepared to leave, since she would need the place again tomorrow. However, as she was leaving, she approached Bai Yao, who was standing nearby.

"I might have to go back to Jinhui City later. Do you want to come back with me?"

Lin Xuan asked this question, and Bai Yao's eyes widened in surprise.

"Go to Jinhui City? I haven't even thought about going back yet, what would you do there?"

Bai Yao was quite puzzled. He was the one from Jinhui City. Why was Bai Yao in such a hurry?

"Some things happened in the past, and since the teacher isn't here, even if you've moved on, is there anyone who can force you to stay?"

Lin Xuan said directly, and Bai Yao nodded after thinking for a moment.

"That seems to be the case..."

"That's settled then, are you going or not?"

"Let's agree on what you'll be doing there first."

Lin Xuan didn't hesitate and told Bai Yao about Gallade's situation and the One-Strike Style, since Bai Yao had the scroll before.

However, Bai Yao has not made any progress. Cong Youbing has not yet grasped the essence of it, which is quite a headache for Bai Yao.

But when she tried to learn from Lin Xuan's Gallade, she discovered that this kind of thing couldn't be taught directly; it could only be learned through the Pokémon's own intuition.

Because every Pokémon has a different understanding of what a single hit means, even when Lin Xuan went to the City Gym, he only wanted to have Gallade test it against the opponent to see if there were any mistakes.
