Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Bai Yao initially thought the same thing, but when she looked over, she found that Lin Xuan had turned her gaze away. Knowing Lin Xuan as she did, she knew there was definitely something wrong here!

"Are you sure we went there to play for the next few days?"

Bai Yao sat up from the sofa, put on her slippers, and quickly walked over to Lin Xuan, her eyes revealing her doubt towards Lin Xuan.

"It's pretty much the same. Just go in and wander around. You might even meet two or three interesting new people."

Lin Xuan gave a slightly embarrassed smile, and then Bai Yao grabbed Lin Xuan's face.

"So there's still a mission, right?"

"Don't blame me for this! It was given to me by Old Zhang, the gym leader of Chuanfu City, at the last minute. I made their secret realm look like that, so I still have to give back no matter what. Anyway, it's only for three days, so we shouldn't have to do anything. We can just go in and keep an eye on it."

Lin Xuan's face was being pinched so hard that her speech was slightly slurred, but she still managed to point to the computer screen.

"Although my microphone isn't connected yet, my live stream has already started. Would you like to excuse yourself?"

Bai Yao turned her head slightly stiffly and saw that a bunch of question marks were indeed flashing on Lin Xuan's computer screen.

【? ? ? 】

[Opening Ceremony Strike]

Is this content we can watch for free?

[It's been so long since Mimikyu-sensei streamed, and now she's giving us such a big surprise?]

I think I know what you've been doing lately.

Bai Yao glared at Lin Xuan, but eventually walked away. At the same time, she threw Eevee at Lin Xuan as a projectile. Eevee immediately jumped up and pounced on Lin Xuan's face.

"Buyi~"

Human emotions are truly complex~

You little guy shouldn't be making these pronouncements like you have so much life experience!

"Ahem, although it's been a long time since I've done a live stream, is this how you guys welcome me?"

Lin Xuan connected the microphone and looked at the question marks that kept appearing in the live stream. She couldn't help but say something in an annoyed tone.

Enough talk, what's on today's program?

Are there any matches coming up?

It seems that Teacher Mimikyu has long forgotten his main profession.

There's no way around it; now that they're champions, it's normal to forget their roots a bit.

Lin Xuan's lips twitched. Why were all these guys being so sarcastic?

However, it should be said that Lin Xuan really didn't know what to do during her live stream today, but she just happened to see what was on the screen.

"Thanks to Mimikyu-sensei for the Super SC about what she ate today—[Mimikyu-sensei, have you played the game recently released by the League?]"

"Game? What game?"

Lin Xuan was completely bewildered, and at this point, Bai Yao, who had been thinking of going back to her room to sulk, suddenly ran back.

"I know, I know! It's quite fun. Although it's more for entertainment, it's still very useful for ordinary trainers."

Lin Xuan has only been gone for less than a month, so why does it feel like she's disappeared for a century? Why do I not understand what you're saying?

So what kind of game is it?

"You can download it from the league's official website! Go check it out yourself."

Following Bai Yao's and the comments' instructions, Lin Xuan quickly arrived at the League's official website.

Lin Xuan last saw this page during the tournament, when the official website was full of related content.

Of course, it's still pretty much the same now, because there are still many photos of Lin Xuan and his teammates winning the championship hanging there.

"Ahem, there's no need to look at these photos. I'm sure most of you in the live stream have already seen them when I won the championship, right? But there might be some new viewers who haven't watched the match, so I thought I'd show them to you anyway!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, she zoomed in on the photo.

【? ? ? 】

You're really getting more and more shameless.

To be fair, Mr. Mimiu was quite handsome when this photo was taken.

[So, will Mimikyu-sensei be able to film again next time?]

"Next time? I'll have to do some calculations then."

Lin Xuan did a quick calculation of the time; if the requirements of the World Championships were followed…

"I think I can participate in three or four more sessions. Please look forward to it."

[lol, if Mimikyu-sensei continues to participate, the other contestants are probably going to start cursing, right?]

After all, once Mimikyu-sensei takes the stage, no one else has any hope of winning.

[From now on, let's just change it to a runner-up battle.]

In fact, Lin Xuan wasn't sure either. Although he could continue to participate according to the rules, the league might impose some restrictions on that. After all, it wasn't just Lin Xuan bragging, but if he really continued to participate in the later competitions, there was really no need for others to participate.

There was no need for other teams to participate; they were all booked out.

"Hurry up! What's so interesting about this photo?"

Bai Yao, who was standing behind, smacked Lin Xuan on the head, but even as she said that, she still glanced at the photo—he was slightly more handsome in person than in the photo.

At least that's what Bai Yao thinks.

"Okay, okay, is this the one?"

Lin Xuan quickly found the game Bai Yao and the others had mentioned on the official website's homepage. It was in a very prominent position, indicating that the league had been promoting this game recently.

Lin Xuan only glanced at it briefly, but already knew the general rules of the game.

"Isn't this just Pokémon... turn-based?"

Lin Xuan almost blurted out "Pokémon game," but thankfully she stopped herself in time.

According to the page description, this game is almost identical to the Pokémon game I played before I transmigrated!

"It is indeed turn-based, but it's actually quite fun. It also helps you remember Pokémon's abilities and moves, which is pretty good for new trainers."

Bai Yao said that for them, remembering the characteristics and skills of Pokémon is the most basic thing, but for many new trainers, it's not the same. Having something like a game is a good thing.

"This... is hard to evaluate."

Lin Xuan could only say that, but urged by Bai Yao and many other viewers, he quickly downloaded the game.

However, it is somewhat different from the previous serious Pokémon games. It's not that it's not serious, but it lacks the storyline of the Pokémon games that Lin Xuan played before, leaving only the purest battle mode. In a way, it can be considered a battle simulator.

"It's been a long time since I've played this game, let's give it a try!"

Lin Xuan's interest was piqued instantly, but Bai Yao still noticed the problems with what Lin Xuan had just said.

"Haven't played in a long time? Have you played it before?"

Bai Yao found it a little strange, since the game was only released less than half a month ago, but it wasn't impossible if you had to put it into perspective. After all, the game must have been in development for a while, so it seemed reasonable that Lin Xuan had experienced it in advance.

"Uh... I'm talking about turn-based games. I've played similar ones before."

Lin Xuan began to explain, and then quickly opened the game.

[Mimi-Oka-sensei actually played this kind of game?]

I thought that all Mimikyu-sensei knew about games was playing cards.

[Don't be so harsh on him, Mr. Mimikyu's card skills are terrible too.]

"This is pure slander. I'm basically a PTCG master whose talent was wasted on being a trainer, okay?"

Lin Xuan spoke directly, but then ignored everything else and quickly registered an account to start the game.

The page is very simple, so simple that it's almost rudimentary.

The first step is to create a team, and you decide which Pokémon to include. If you wish, you can even add Pokémon like Caterpie or Magnemite.

"It looks pretty simple." In Lin Xuan's opinion, this is just like battling Pokémon!

"That's hard to say. Although you're very strong in real-life battles, that might not be the case in games like this!"

Bai Yao shook her finger. Although she hadn't played this game much, and it was very easy for them to pick it up, it was Lin Xuan's first time playing it.

"Tch, simple as it is."

Lin Xuan immediately started creating a team, without needing any reminders from Bai Yao and the others, and directly pulled in Eevee and the others.

"Hey, hey, you'll get blown up like that! These two Pokémon are useless!"

Bai Yao kindly reminded him.

"Buibui!"

"Dandan!"

The two little ones protested simultaneously, saying, "Who's useless? We're clearly very strong, okay!"

"I mean in the game. After all, do you see any real-world Eevee or Moltres that can do what these two do?"

Bai Yao completely ignored what the two children said. The game was based on real-world data. Lin Xuan glanced at it and found that it was basically the same as the Pokémon games she had played before, with only some differences in the numbers. After all, it's impossible for all the data to be so accurate, so it's normal for there to be differences.
