Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

“Mageyana—no wonder she’s so confident.”

Lin Xuan said casually, and slowly sat back down in her seat.

Chapter 613 Maya

Magearna, a Pokémon that truly exists only in legends, is something Lin Xuan only saw today. Before that, Lin Xuan even doubted whether Magearna really existed in this world.

Even Lin Xuan stood up from her chair, let alone the other audience members, who were all completely bewildered.

Even Areta, who had been calm and collected until now, was taken aback. This was Magiana!

It's not some common legendary Pokémon like Moltres that appeared before, but a mythical Pokémon that only exists once.

But the most confused person should be Misaka Kotomi, who is currently standing on the battlefield. Who am I? Where am I?

Why did a Magearna suddenly appear in front of me?

Lin Xuan knew at a glance that this Magiana seemed to be subject to certain limitations and had not reached the true legendary level, but it was very close!

Lin Xuan even felt that if it were before it gained Mega Evolution, even his teacher Luo Guan's Lucario might not be a match for this Magearna, which was really a bit much.

The result was predictable: Magearna easily defeated Misaka Kotomi's remaining two Pokémon, with virtually no suspense whatsoever.

It was a complete rout, even the Mega Evolution Electric Dragon was no exception, it just had a little more time to struggle.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan fell silent. With the help of Misaka Kotomi's psychic powers, that Ampharos was definitely no weaker than Jonah's Alakazam. Among Lin Xuan's Pokémon, it should be close to the level of Eevee. In other words, even Eevee should not be able to defeat this Magearna.

After watching the battle, everyone looked at each other, seemingly wondering what to do with Magiana.

"It seems we were wrong before. The team that was hiding the deepest secret wasn't the Unova team, but the Carlos team right in front of us! They even managed to pull out a Magiana."

Even Zhong Mingyi couldn't help but sigh, saying that Magearna's strength here is basically overwhelming. Apart from a few of their trainers, the others probably wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

"What's next?"

Zhong Ming asked Lin Xuan, and although he was the captain, he had to admit that Lin Xuan was more skilled in this area.

"I don't know. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Are we going to report her to the Alliance and prevent her from using this Magiana?"

Lin Xuan shook his head and said that all Pokémon appearing on the battlefield must be reported to the League in advance. In other words, Lin Xuan must have known about Magearna for a long time, but he just tacitly agreed to it.

This indicates that the Magearna was indeed a Pokémon she had captured.

"Without that Magiana, although Irene is very strong, she has not reached her strongest level."

Lin Xuan spoke directly, saying that this could be seen from the previous battles, where Misaka Kotomi defeated him 4 to 5. Without Magearna, he would most likely have lost the battle.

But unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

As for the internet, it had already exploded by now, after all, this was the appearance of a mythical Pokémon, especially in this kind of setting.

Some people have even started to protest, asking why they can use this kind of Pokémon, and whether it's really fair.

However, just as Lin Xuan had expected, the league issued a statement indicating that the Magiana was fine and could still be used normally in subsequent matches.

Instantly, all teams felt increased pressure, especially the players who were about to continue their matches.

Even Lin Xuan wasn't sure if Xiaodian could really defeat a Pokémon that was close to legendary level.

Then Lin Xuan turned around and saw Zhong Mingyi with a worried look on his face, so she went up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's think about that later. You should focus on preparing for the afternoon's match."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Ming nodded. After all, the most important thing was the afternoon's match. If he lost the afternoon's match, there would be no point in explaining later.

In the afternoon, Zhongmingyi faced Gregor and Areta faced Leo. As expected, Areta and Zhongmingyi won smoothly. Soon it was time for the evening's draw.

Lin Xuan felt that even he hadn't expected that players from the same country could sweep two of the top four spots, so the entire knockout stage followed the principle of avoiding players from the same country.

This means that Lin Xuan will not be able to draw Zhong Mingyi this time, and will have to draw from either Areta or Leo.

Although it was only halfway through the game, many spectators in China had already started popping champagne.

[Mimi Qiu and Xiao Zhong are awesome! They took half of the top four spots!]

[The Chinese national team is awesome!]

[But I'm so worried about the battles later on, that Magearna... I feel like even Mimikyu's Tiny wouldn't be a match for it, right?]

It's okay, have faith!

Amidst much anticipation, the lottery ceremony that everyone was watching finally began!

Lin Xuan was the first to draw lots, following the previous match order.

As for Lin Xuan, she drew b1.

But that's not important; what's important is what lot Ellie draws next.

Since there are only four people, if Irele draws B2, she will directly fight Lin Xuan. If she draws any of the others, due to the avoidance of players from the same country, Lin Xuan will directly fight Areta.

Lin Xuan turned to look at Irene, who had been standing next to him, and she still looked relaxed, as if she believed that with Maya's help, she could not possibly fail.

As for the final draw results—

Lin Xuan vs. Areta, Irene vs. Zhong Mingyi!

"My luck... doesn't seem to be very good."

Zhong Mingyi said with a wry smile, "I always thought that Areta might be the strongest opponent, but now it seems that the one who has been hiding all along is still Irene."

However, Zhong Mingyi quickly adjusted his mindset.

"It's alright, I'll go test the waters for you first. Maybe I can even win? That guy is the strongest of all the Magianas!"

Zhong Mingyi patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder and said, but in reality, both Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi knew that Zhong Mingyi's chances of winning this battle were less than one in ten.

That Magearna is a Pokémon that is halfway to legendary status.

Furthermore, Slowking does not have Mega Evolution, which has always been a regret for Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi.

If Slowking had Mega Evolution... Zhong Mingyi's strength could rise to another level.

It's possible that it could reach a level comparable to Magiana.

However, Zhong Mingyi's meaning was quite clear: in this battle... he would use his full strength!

No matter what, we must force Magiana to reveal her full strength.

Lin Xuan didn't say anything, but she knew that Zhong Mingyi had placed all his bets on her, gambling that she could defeat Maya.

"Dandan!"

It was at this moment that Xiao Dian suddenly appeared, perched on Lin Xuan's shoulder, and spoke to him and Zhong Mingyi.

He'll definitely win this match!

"That's it! It's just a Magearna, right? Even if it were a legendary Pokémon, it would still have this kind of presence!"

Lin Xuan suddenly heard a familiar voice. This was the athletes' village in China, and not just anyone could come in. Apart from Lin Xuan and his group, usually only staff members from the league could enter, and even then, there were restrictions.

As for the person in front of me—

"teacher!"

After a moment of surprise, Lin Xuan said with delight, "That's right, the person who appeared in front of Lin Xuan this time was Lin Xuan's teacher—Luo Guan."

"Master Luo Guan".

Zhong Mingyi was also somewhat surprised, not expecting to see Luo Guan here.

Although both of them are dojo masters, Zhong Mingyi knows that there are significant differences between dojo masters.

Compared to Luo Guan, one of the most senior dojo masters, there is still a significant gap between me and him.

Even after undergoing super evolution, Luo Guan's strength directly reached the legendary level.

"Yeah, I just arrived too. I didn't know that Magearna would appear in this competition. I didn't expect it!"

Even Luo Guan could only sigh that such a Pokémon was extremely rare, let alone one captured by such a young trainer.

"But it seems I've come at just the right time. For the next period of time—I'll give you special training!"

"what?"

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded happily.

Although Luo Guan's training will definitely be as tiring as before, at this time, there's no need to think about whether he's tired or not; the focus should be on whether he can win the game.

"You're the one on whom we have all our hopes, so—take it! At least don't lose in the match three days from now."

Zhong Mingyi also said with a smile, mainly because he knew that his words wouldn't put any pressure on Lin Xuan, as that was just Lin Xuan's personality.

"Don't worry, even with Magiana—my goal is still the championship!"

Lin Xuan said with a smile that for the next three days, Luo Guan would be Lin Xuan's sparring partner.

This is a huge honor, this is Luo Guan! Not to mention in China, even in the whole world, he is one of the top master-level trainers. Apart from Lin Xuan, probably no one else has this kind of influence.

After the first day of training, Lin Xuan felt completely exhausted, let alone Xiao Dian.

However, Luo Guan still kept a balance in this regard, because he knew the recovery speed of Lin Xuan's wave power beforehand, so he wouldn't let it reach a state that would affect the later matches.

However, it still has a very strong training effect.

Having served as a dojo master for so many years, Luo Guan is top-notch not only in combat but also in teaching.
