Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

After a while, once it was confirmed that the match was over, the referee waved his hand and then retreated behind the Aegislash's shield.

Even commentating on a match isn't as important as your life!

"Welcome to the final of the individual competition at this World Championships. I am your commentator, Li Xiang."

The official live broadcast in China also attached great importance to this competition, especially since there were Chinese players in the final.

As for the audience, there were a lot of them. This time, it wasn't just Lin Xuan's fans; any trainer, even those who are active, would not miss this competition.

Of course, at this point, most of the viewers who are still watching the game are fans of Lin Xuan, mainly because Lin Xuan's performance in this match has indeed exceeded everyone's expectations.

Before this, many people expected that even if Lin Xuan was very strong, he would probably be at the same level as Zhong Mingyi, or even weaker. But unexpectedly, Lin Xuan's strength seems to be even stronger than Zhong Mingyi's.

However, the match between Lin Xuan and Yi Leier today, in the first few tens of minutes, did seem to be... somewhat abstract.

To what extent should it be abstracted?

Lin Xuan's first few Pokémon were basically overwhelming. When Lin Xuan lost three Pokémon, Irelia only had her last one, Magearna, left.

As you can see, Irene stood there in silence for a moment.

No, aren't you going a bit too far? I know that without Magiana, I'm not as strong as you, but the gap seems a bit too big, doesn't it?

Even when Zhong Mingyi had driven her to the brink of defeat, Irene had never felt this way before.

Because everyone actually knows that Lin Xuan is basically the youngest among them, and with Magiana's help, if they still haven't won... it would indeed be a bit embarrassing.

Irene is now somewhat on the verge of collapse; the gap seems too large, and this has truly created suspense.

If Irelia only had Magearna left, and Lin Xuan only had Tiny, he would still be very confident. But now Lin Xuan still has Eevee, and even Gallade has a lot of strength left.

This puts him in a similar situation to before, but there's an advantage now: Lin Xuan's baton-passing tactic has been used before.

This means that Irene was already prepared, and at least she wouldn't give Lin Xuan the same tactical options as she had when she fought against Genesect.

If Lin Xuan wants to defeat Magiana now, he basically only has one last option: to overpower her with his absolute strength.

Gallade's current strength is indeed well preserved, and it's even maintained in its Mega Evolution state, but against Magearna...

Lin Xuan had no choice but to flee.

This is what makes Magearna even more terrifying than Genesect: her special ability.

The Soul Heart ability prevented Lin Xuan from sending Gallade to wear down her Pokémon, even with a numerical advantage, just like Zhong Mingyi did in his previous battle against Irelia.

In this situation, taking the baton is indeed a good choice, because taking the baton means that you will not be defeated, and without being defeated, Magearna's ability cannot be triggered.

At the same time, all the ability upgrades can be transferred to the strongest little point, which is the best choice.

But Maya will not give Lin Xuan that chance.

"Lin Xuan is still in some danger. In previous matches, both I and Zhong Mingyi used the baton-passing tactic. If the opponent has studied it even slightly, they won't be able to let Ibrahimovic use it."

Li Xiang said in the live broadcast that the other commentator at this time can also be considered an old friend of Lin Xuan.

In addition to the two official commentators, there was also a special guest in this commentary session. Lin Xuan's match was naturally with someone Lin Xuan knew.

"I don't have much of an opinion on battles, but I can tell that Eevee is in real danger against this Magearna!"

That's right, this time it was another of Lin Xuan's teachers who came up.

If Lin Xuan saw this scene, she would definitely want to complain.

When did you suddenly find yourself with so much free time?

Dr. Sun Siming didn't know if he had temporarily put aside his work at the research institute or if he was taking a vacation, but in any case, everyone was stunned when he appeared in the live broadcast room.

Some people even asked who Zhong Mingyi was, but that's pretty normal. Dr. Sun Siming isn't the type to show off much, but as long as you mention that he's Lin Xuan's teacher, everyone is pretty much at ease. But speaking of which, how many people still remember that Lin Xuan was a researcher?

Lin Xuan is also having a bit of a headache. Some people may think that he has the advantage now, but he has no choice but to take a gamble.

Because Magiana's damage output is terrifying.

If Ibrahimovic tries to use a normal power-up move or a baton pass, he will almost always be caught off guard.

That's the Flower Cannon, a powerful skill that Genesect doesn't have.

If Genesect had been determined to forcibly use the high-tech beam cannon from the shattered cartridge at that time, he could have stopped them.

But if that happens, the smaller one will be completely invincible!

Even the ultimate high-tech beam cannon couldn't defeat the enhanced Little Dot. In Lin Xuan's view, exchanging the enhanced version for the opponent's cartridge was definitely a win, as it not only had a powerful move, but also no way to counter Little Dot.

However, Flower Cannon is different. Although it will lower Special Attack, it can make up for some of it with the Soul Heart ability, and can even be forcibly boosted back by taking a little damage later.

This is the versatility of legendary Pokémon; even with powerful offensive capabilities, their durability remains strong.

Little Dot can't do that, and is even somewhat similar to Ibrahimovic, both being somewhat like glass cannons.

In terms of defense, Xiaodian has always been very weak. He has basically never been able to take the opponent's skills directly. He always blocks them with his skills, otherwise he really can't withstand them!

Ultimately, Tiny couldn't escape the limitations of ordinary Pokémon. Among ordinary Pokémon, those that can be considered all-rounders are basically just pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

After Lin Xuan recalled Gallade, Eevee quickly stood on one side of the battlefield. In front of her was Magearna, whom she had mentally battled countless times as a hypothetical enemy.

But this time it's real combat, so—

Watch me unleash my ultimate attack right in their face!

Almost no one expected it, and even Ibrahimovic himself was a little surprised. He used the Nine-Colored Rising Nuclear Bomb right at the start, without giving anyone any time to react?

But this was also Lin Xuan's helpless choice. Using other skills would consume stamina—it wouldn't be worth it to give Magearna Soul Heart. Eevee's move basically meant that Lin Xuan wanted to recall Eevee after using the skill.

Everyone, including Lin Xuan himself, thought the same way. However, as Lin Xuan used the skill, he noticed something was wrong. The nine powers that Eevee gathered at the top of its nine-colored ascension didn't seem to have the same intense conflict as before.

Upon realizing this, Lin Xuan paused for a moment. At this point, he had two choices: one was to follow the previous plan, and the other was—

Trust Ibrahimovic!

Eevee is feeling great right now, better than ever before. Even she doesn't know why. The nine powers that were originally difficult to fuse seem to have become much gentler this time, or rather, they have become much gentler under her control.

"Nine colors sublime and gather at the top!"

Lin Xuan made her decision in less than a second.

Let's gamble, it's not like we haven't gambled before. This time, Lin Xuan still chose to believe in Ibrahimovic.

Meanwhile, Irene frowned. She had seen Eevee use this move before, but why did it seem a little different this time?

Chapter 629 Meaningless

Actually, it wasn't just Irene; many people have probably noticed this as well. Anyone who has studied Lin Xuan's previous battles knows that Eevee's move is terrifying because of its power, but because it's activated instantly, it's basically impossible to counter it.

But today seems different. That special energy has remained inside Eevee's body, showing absolutely no sign of moving.

Although she was a little confused about what was going on, Irene quickly made a decision.

After all, in this situation, Lin Xuan might still have a backup plan, and Ibrahimovic might be accumulating energy.

Perhaps there's an even more powerful move inside?

With this in mind, Irene was quite cautious, so she directly ordered Magiana to launch a probing attack, using the Cannon Beam.

A powerful metallic beam of light instantly reached Eevee, but even so, Eevee seemed completely unprepared.

This even made a slight doubt appear in Irene's mind.

Could it be that something suddenly happened to Lin Xuan's Eevee?

Not only Yirei, but even Zhong Mingyi and his group started to worry.

"What's wrong with Ibrahimovic?"

Because he had sparred with Lin Xuan, he knew about the Eevee Nine-Colored Sublimation Nuclear Bomb, and this was completely unlike anything he had seen before! But it was the kind of prelude that left Zhong Mingyi completely confused.

"I don't know either, but look at Lin Xuan's expression."

Bai Yao pursed her lips, and Zhong Mingyi also looked over. Indeed, judging from Lin Xuan's current expression, it didn't seem like Ibu was surprised at all.

And it was at this moment that an accident occurred, but this accident was for Irene.

The nine special energies were originally just gathered outside Eevee's body, but this time, they were completely absorbed into Eevee's body.

This surprised Irene. What kind of approach was this?

However, no matter what, the Cannon was already in front of Eevee. At such close range, it would be difficult for even Gallade's Instant Transmission to dodge it, let alone Eevee.

boom!

The beam cannon exploded instantly after hitting Eevee, but in the next instant, in everyone's sight, Eevee's body was enveloped by nine powerful forces, like a rainbow, but even more dazzling than a rainbow.

Dr. Sun Siming frowned at this scene, seemingly understanding why Lin Xuan had previously said that Eevee only had a few evolutionary forms and told him not to continue his research.

Dr. Sun Siming is basically the person in the world who knows Eevee the most. Combined with his knowledge of Lin Xuan's Eevee, it is obvious that this power comes from within Eevee, and there are exactly nine of them.

While it's possible that Eevee only possesses nine powers, that's highly unlikely. Lin Xuan's statement must be based on Eevee sensing some kind of limitation.

Even Eevee couldn't possibly master all the powers of all attributes.

At this moment, Eevee felt an unprecedented surge of power, with a comprehensive boost to its strength, defense, special attack, special defense, and speed. This was the power of the Nine-Colored Ascension at the Top!

However, for some reason, Ibu also felt a sense of weakness in his body, as if some kind of power had been consumed. Although he didn't know what was going on, and that power seemed to be gradually recovering, he was at least unable to use the Nine-Colored Ascension Gathering at the Top for a short period of time.

This is different from before. Although the previous burst consumed a lot of energy, it was not impossible for Ibuki to use a second burst if he was more economical.
