Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

It's a bit unnecessary to talk about restraint when facing Eevee, which has mastered many partner moves.

Even if they are at a disadvantage, it can't be that bad, because Ibrahimovic can always come up with a skill to counter his opponent.

Lin Xuan knew this, as did the commentators and Yi Bei on the other side.

Ibe's strange and bizarre moves are really a headache...

"rely on you!"

Ebe finally took a deep breath and threw the other Poké Ball out of his arms, as if he had been preparing for this for a long time.

As for his second Pokémon—

"This is... a Kangaskhan!"

Even Lin Xuan was stunned when he saw this Pokémon, because it was not only a Kangaskhan, but Lin Xuan also saw the Mega Stone on the Kangaskhan.

So... this is the real boss!

"Even the boss is here?"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but curl her lips. To be honest, against Kangaskhan, if Eevee was strong enough, it truly had no counter-moves. And Kangaskhan's Power-Up Punch… no, it should be called Swords Dance, if it landed, would deal considerable damage, and could snowball into an advantage. Terrifying!

"Lin Xuan also chose to switch Pokémon! But because he was going second, he deliberately chose the Pokémon that was most effective against his opponent, which is the advantage I just mentioned! So Song Chen, what Pokémon do you think Lin Xuan might switch to?"

Ye Ling naturally passed the message to Song Chen, who was now somewhat used to it and quickly responded.

"As for Lin Xuan... he really likes the Pokémon Kangaskhan, or rather, Mega Kangaskhan. He seems to have a special fondness for this Pokémon, and at the same time, he questions every day why a family rat can't have the Parental Love ability."

Song Chen said with a smile that he had been able to hear Lin Xuan's voice frequently since the news about Mega Kangaskhan was announced.

Why are kangaroos exhibiting parental love while a family of mice cannot?

They have more than one child, so why can't they show love to their own children?

"However, he will probably choose Gallade, which is completely type-counter and can also Mega Evolve."

Almost exactly as Song Chen had expected, Lin Xuan threw out Gallade's Poké Ball as soon as she saw Kangaskhan.

Both of us are Mega Evolutions, but my type completely counters yours, so how are you going to fight me?

A bitter look appeared on Ibe's face. At the same time, Ibe knew that the greatest reliance of this Kangaskhan was Mega Evolution.

The appearance of Mega Evolution greatly enhanced Kangaskhan's strength, to the point that after Mega Evolution, this Kangaskhan's strength was not much weaker than Dragapult.

Keep in mind that Dragapult was his starter Pokémon! And while this Kangaskhan wasn't the newest one he caught, it certainly wasn't the one he'd trained the longest.

But that's the power of parental love.

There seem to be quite a few Mega Stones in the world. In fact, Lin Xuan had always felt strange that he hadn't been able to find any for eight hundred years, but since he discovered Mega Evolution, it seems that a lot of Mega Stones and Key Stones have suddenly appeared.

However, the professor also helped Lin Xuan understand. It was because Mega Stones and Key Stones were quite special. Before this, although no one knew what they were, they couldn't really treat them as trash. Most of the time, they were just put away in some unknown corner.

The Alliance should have quite a few of these kinds of things. Ever since hearing what the Doctor said, Lin Xuan has had a plan in mind: to find an opportunity to rummage through the Alliance's warehouse and maybe find some good stuff.

But time waits for no one, and before they knew it, the tournament was upon them, so Lin Xuan hadn't had a chance to take advantage of it.

After the battle began, Gallade and Kangaskhan basically completed their Mega Evolution at the same time.

Mega Evolution provides a huge boost to both Pokémon, so there's practically no reason not to use it.

It's safe now.

[Now I'm going to pop some champagne at halftime!]

Mimikyu is the progenitor of Mega Evolution, so winning this simple battle shouldn't be a problem, right?

Without hesitation, the Kangaskhan launched a surprise attack with a high five!

Gallade and Lin Xuan were helpless. All things considered, Gallade was indeed slightly stronger, but only by a limited margin.

The "Five-Up Surprise Attack" skill is so overpowered, but thankfully the conditions for using it are very strict.

Gallade assumed a defensive stance, but was still hit by two surprise high-fives, and they were even the kind of high-fives that symbolized parental love.

How terrifying is that power?

Lin Xuan also had the doctor test it out. In reality, the maternal love of the Kangaskhan and the Trash Wings of the Arrowhawk are both weakening the previous strength.

In other words... if the power of a high five is 40 under normal circumstances, then it's 60 now! Considering that Kangaskhan is a Normal-type Pokémon with its STAB boost, if the opponent is a weakling, it might just one-shot them.

That's what makes Kangaskhan so terrifying; otherwise, why would it be called the boss?

However, Lin Xuan knew that this was still not the most terrifying aspect of Kangaskhan, but he was not afraid because he knew that Gallade was there, and he believed in Gallade's strength!

Gallade was hit by the high-five and could only stand there for a moment, while Kangaskhan took the opportunity to get close to Lin Xuan.

Yibei also knew that this was her biggest chance to defeat Lin Xuan.

As long as Kangaskhan can defeat Gallade, it still has a chance. This is already a decisive battle!

Chapter 586 That’s it?

While this possibility exists, even Ivy knows that it would indeed be quite difficult for her Kangaskhan to defeat Lin Xuan's Gallade.

The battle began instantly, but even the commentators in the commentary booth didn't know what to say next.

"This... it seems a bit hard to see! Lin Xuan's Gallade is just too terrifying, it's even so fast that we can't see it clearly!"

Ye Ling, who was in the commentary booth, said this, and the audience in front of the screen basically had the same reaction.

Holy crap, I can't see anything at all!

Although Gallade was hit by Kangaskhan's surprise attack and could only stay in place, this moment of weakness lasted relatively short.

Ibe thought that the time it took to flinch should be enough for its Kangaskhan to use its second move, but now it seems that it underestimated Gallade's strength.

The moment of hesitation only lasted until Kangaskhan approached Gallade, but fortunately, that was long enough.

Kangaskhan instantly appeared in front of Gallade. In terms of speed, Kangaskhan was definitely no match for Gallade. So both Ivy and Kangaskhan knew that this opportunity was crucial, because it would be difficult for them to touch Gallade later.

While Kangaskhan's speed isn't slow, it's only average. Even Gallade's speed can't match it, not to mention that Lin Xuan's Gallade might not be good at speed, since—this guy doesn't seem to need speed and doesn't have any problems.

Gallade's greatest strength is Teleportation!

Gallade's teleportation is something that basically every player needs to study.

How can some Pokémon use Teleport so many times in such a short period of time?! That's not scientific!

But whether it's scientific or not is irrelevant, because this is Lin Xuan's Gallade.

So at this moment, Gallade also gave the audience all over the world a demonstration of what teleportation really means!

Gallade used Teleport the moment Kangaskhan approached.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Xuan might choose to have Gallade come behind Kangaskhan and counterattack directly, but this is the World Championship after all, and Lin Xuan doesn't want to take such a risk.

This is also Lin Xuan's idea: in all subsequent matches, he should try to play steadily and cautiously.

Even when facing opponents from smaller countries with average strength, Lin Xuan would at most select one like Gyarados or Naganadel to give them a little training.

A little too much might not be enough, increasing the chances of being overturned.

Gallade arrived at a corner of the battle arena, but Eevee had already discussed the battle tactics with Kangaskhan, especially regarding Gallade.

So he had actually been prepared for Gallade to use Teleport, and quickly turned his head as if searching for a target.

They quickly found Gallade hiding in the corner again and charged at it once more.

Ibe also knew that although Lin Xuan's Gallade could use Teleport multiple times in a short period of time, it didn't seem to be able to do so infinitely. If it did it too frequently, it would put too much pressure on itself.

This is the result of their collaborative research.

That's why Zhong Mingyi said earlier that this match was somewhat disadvantageous for the Chinese team.

Because most of the players on the Chinese team had already been exposed to the public eye, except for Zhang Shouqing.

But Lin Xuan seemed to be the only one who didn't care about this. After all, so what if his strength was exposed?

You're studying me from a little over a month ago, but the current me... is even stronger!

Kangaskhan charged at Gallade again, along with its smaller counterpart.

At that moment, they seemed to have become a whole, much like a family of rats.

If it weren't for the fact that the Family Rat might not be strong enough to face the Kangaskhan, Lin Xuan would have really wanted to send the Family Rat up for a try in this battle.

Gallade saw the Kangaskhan coming towards it and used Instant Transmission a second time.

Kangaskhan's strongest move is definitely Boost Punch, which can be boosted twice. The only downside is that Lin Xuan's Gallade is a Psychic-type, so Boost Punch can't unleash its full power on Gallade.

Even so, it's still terrifying. At least Lin Xuan is unwilling to let the kangaroo beast use it easily, so what's the best solution?

"I think Lin Xuan is going to use that trick again!"

In the live stream, Song Chen stroked his chin and said that Lin Xuan's Gallade was one of his older Pokémon, so Song Chen must know a lot about it.

Lin Xuan used to love using that tactic when Gallade wasn't nearly as strong.

"Oh, what is it? Is it something I can reveal?"

Because Song Chen always seemed to have figured something out before, but never said anything, Ye Ling only teased him this time, but she didn't expect Song Chen to actually answer.

Song Chen nodded directly.

"It's not something that can't be talked about; many people probably know it, and it's not exactly a secret. But even if they do know, there's no good way to counter it."
