Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Let's forget about it then. Tell us what you think."

Chu Jingyun shook his head helplessly. He considered himself a genius, and he trained very hard, but why couldn't he beat these guys?

"Actually, I have no evidence as to what this guy's strength is."

Lin Xuan shook her head, but Zhong Mingyi said something:

“There’s no evidence for this before the fight, but I trust your intuition.”

Lin Xuan has always been very lucky, which is why he chose to believe in Lin Xuan before this.

Lin Xuan also picked up the video and watched it, then switched it to double speed.

Just halfway through watching, Lin Xuan suddenly pressed the pause button.

"Wait, rewind two seconds and look at Irene's movements."

Lin Xuan spoke quickly, and everyone was taken aback. Shouldn't everyone be watching Pokémon at a time like this? Why are you watching the contestants?

“Look, this guy’s hand paused on the first Poké Ball on the left, he even touched it, but he quickly chose the Poké Ball on the other side.”

Lin Xuan pointed this out: for trainers, the location of Poké Balls is absolutely fixed, and they even need to check it before a match, just to avoid taking out the Poké Balls.

Basically, all trainers place their Poké Balls in a fixed order so that they can send out the Pokémon they need when they need it.

However, this guy picked up the wrong Poké Ball at the beginning.

"This is probably because this Pokémon was her first thought, but for some reason, she couldn't take it out, right?"

"It's also possible that she thought about it and felt that using Laplace later would be better?"

Bai Yao raised a question, and Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.

"That's certainly a possibility, but look here..."

Lin Xuan pressed pause again. Because the battle arenas of the two players, Irene and Jonar, were very close, it was almost an instinctive action. After Irene realized that she had taken the wrong Poké Ball, she glanced at Jonar.

"Jonar must have told her beforehand not to use her strongest Pokémon, but she took it out subconsciously, only to realize it again soon afterward."

After hearing Lin Xuan's explanation, everyone felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

Does she know all of her Pokémon?

This is data that must be submitted to the league from the very beginning. A player must have at least six Pokémon, but can only report a maximum of nine.

With this data, intelligence work becomes much easier.

But Zhong Mingyi shook his head.

"Even if the alliance has this kind of data, we can't get it, so forget about it and we can only wait for her to use it herself."

At this moment, Lin Xuan turned her gaze to Zhang Shouqing, who was standing to the side.

"So, could you tell me what Pokémon this guy has?"

Zhang Shouqing seemed to still be thinking about Lin Xuan dragging him out that morning. He rolled his eyes and said:

"Would you believe me if I told you this guy has Xerneas?"

"Cut~"

Lin Xuan definitely didn't believe that. If there really were such legendary Pokémon as the strongest fighting force, then what would be the point of fighting?

If we just reveal Xerneas, we can directly decide the champion. As for the rest, they can just compete for the runner-up. Wouldn't that be more convenient?

"Alright, today's opponent was too weak, and we couldn't figure out anything. Everyone, go and take a rest."

Zhong Mingyi had just waved his hand when he heard Cheng Si exclaim in surprise while holding her phone.

"Hey! The match schedule for the second round is out!"

The opponent's handout wasn't given immediately after the second round ended, but rather at 6 PM, an hour later.

Lin Xuan quickly logged into the league's official website to check. He wasn't worried at all about being matched with Zhong Mingyi and his team, because that was impossible.

During the Swiss round, athletes from the same country will not be matched together; this is a rule that has been set in advance.

However, Lin Xuan was stunned when she saw the competition schedule, and then wanted to question the staff who arranged the competition.

Did I offend you in some way?

If that's really the case, please tell me so I can change it.

That's right, Lin Xuan's opponent tomorrow is also an old acquaintance... Jonar!

"Fuck!"

"Your luck is amazing."

"666".

All anyone could do was scream "Holy crap!" Even Zhang Shouqing, who had never sworn before, couldn't help it; he just couldn't hold back!

Lin Xuan glanced at Bai Yao's opponents again. Goodness, each one was easier to beat than the last.

While it's painful to experience one's own failure, it's even more heartbreaking to see one's friend succeed.

Lin Xuan is in a similar situation right now. We're all on the same team and we've all advanced. Why is it that I've played two high-level games and you guys are just smurfing?

Where's the fish? Can I fry it too?

It's fair to say that not only Lin Xuan's audience, but also the Chinese audience and Carlos's audience were stunned.

Carlos even questioned whether the league had been bribed by other teams.

Of course, there were also happy people. For example, whether it was the United States team, the Galar team, the Japanese team, or the Indian team, they were basically all cheering.

They don't care who wins or loses; what matters is who loses.

Because if one of the two loses, the subsequent battles become dangerous, since losing three rounds will result in elimination.

If one of the unlucky ones encounters another equally strong opponent later on, perhaps they could actually manage to eliminate one of them?

Of course, similar situations occurred in other teams as well. For example, the main players of the Indian team and the Galar team also encountered each other, but none of them were as heavyweight as Lin Xuan and his team.

In everyone's perception, Lin Xuan is basically the strongest player in the Chinese team. Even if he is not the strongest, he is at a similar level to Zhong Mingyi.

And Jonah, needless to say, is the captain of the Carlos team and the strongest player on the surface.

As for Jonah now—

"hiss!"

Jonar had lost his composure and lay on the sofa in some pain.

He didn't think his strength was inferior to Lin Xuan's, but in this way, he would basically have no trump cards left and would definitely be forced to leave with nothing.

Even if you win, you'll suffer a huge loss! Not to mention, you might not even win.

Why did we run into that guy in the second round?

The other teammates around them also looked quite helpless, not knowing what to say even if they wanted to comfort them. Only Irele, on the other hand, said carefree:

"Perhaps it's because of the bond you two formed when you met a couple of days ago?"

Jonar remained silent. If that were really the case... wouldn't you be the culprit? If you hadn't gone out that day, you wouldn't have met Lin Xuan.

In short, this battle was quite painful for both Lin Xuan and Jonar.

Actually, there's a very simple solution to this problem: Jonah simply doesn't want to reveal his true strength.

Losing a match is no big deal, since it's a Swiss system, so there's no need to worry about being eliminated after losing one match.

Therefore, they are also considering the possibility of something.

the next day.

"To be honest, some people advised me yesterday to just surrender, since it doesn't seem like a big deal for us to lose a game."

Jonar stood opposite Lin Xuan, shrugged, and said.

That's true, so what's your answer?

Lin Xuan already had the answer in his heart, because this guy was standing right in front of him.

Chapter 592 Getting Serious

Jonar's presence in front of Lin Xuan at this moment already demonstrated that he had made this decision.

To be honest, surrendering directly would be the best option, as it would not only preserve one's own strength but also allow Irene to hide better later.

But... Jonah can't afford to lose face like that!

It wasn't just about his own pride, but also Carlos's; even if they lost, they couldn't just surrender.

Although Lin Xuan felt that Jonar's choice was different from Carlos's usual tradition, she still valued this superhuman in front of her more.

Regardless, Lin Xuan included him in her list of formidable rivals.

"Our first battle... You're a wave guide user, and I'm a psychic. How about we give it a try?"

Jonar said to Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan quickly understood what Jonar meant.

As a wave guide user, what Pokémon should I represent most?

It should be a Fighting-type Pokémon like Gallade, just like Jonah's strongest Pokémon are all Psychic-type.
