Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

While maintaining its charge, Xiaodian pulled its body backward, but it must be said that the Iron Palm Warrior was fast, catching up in a short time. At the same time, its two thick arms were spread outward, as if it wanted to hold Xiaodian tightly.

Fortunately, Little Dot recharged just before Iron Palm Warrior approached and used Shadow Clone to barely dodge Iron Palm Warrior's Earth Throw.

However, Iron Palm Warrior reacted quickly. The moment Xiao Dian used Shadow Clone, he realized that Earth Throw probably wouldn't be able to catch anyone. He immediately turned around and used Fierce Push again. With a few palm strikes, most of Xiao Dian's clones were scattered as soon as they went out. Even Xiao Dian himself was hit solidly and flew out.

"Dandan~"

The little dot that landed on the ground patted the dust off its wing membrane. Luckily, the slap wasn't too hard, since the power of a single strong push wasn't high, and it was still a flying type. But it still hurt a lot!

Must take revenge!

"Electric Fence—A Cage!"

Although it is a special skill designed to resemble Reggie Elegy's Lightning Cage, it is still quite different from the original. Lin Xuan naturally dared not simply use the original name, so he decided to find one that didn't sound so powerful and simply call it Cage.

The electric net in front of Xiaodian opened again, but it was many times stronger than the previous one.

The shape of the electric grid changed; instead of a net, it resembled a giant cage descending from above upon the Iron Palm Warrior. Meanwhile, the charging effect intensified, with the current flowing even more intensely, to the point that even Liu Quan couldn't afford to let his guard down.

Even if it seems to be just an electric grid.

"Get away."

Without any unnecessary steps, Liu Quan directly used the divine skill "Quickly Dodge," but for the Iron Palm Warrior who had maxed out his agility, it didn't seem to be a difficult task at all. With a stomp of his thigh on the ground, Lin Xuan could feel his feet shaking three times. If this guy stomped a few more times, the people in Jinhui Dojo might think there was an earthquake.

But seeing Liu Quan's Iron Palm Warrior completely dodge the small electric net, Lin Xuan was not disappointed at all; in fact, she had to control herself from smiling.

This is the most important point about Thunderfire Double Strike: if you want to use the power grid to launch Thunderfire Double Strike, simply avoiding the power grid is useless, or to some extent, avoiding the power grid will only put you in a greater crisis.

"Smaller!"

Lin Xuan didn't need to say anything more; Xiao Dian instantly understood, since that was precisely why they had invited Liu Quan to spar with them.

A ball of flame instantly appeared between the two tiny claws of the little dot, and it quickly grew larger.

"Awakening Fire?"

This question arose in Liu Quan's mind, but he wasn't too worried. Putting aside what tricks Momonga could pull off with Awakening Fire, his Iron Fist Warrior had the Thick Fat ability! Would he be afraid of a mere Awakening Fire?

That doesn't exist at all!

Then Liu Quan's eyes widened as the ball of fire in Xiao Dian's hand grew larger and larger, soon becoming almost as big as his entire body, to the point that he could barely hug it.

Damn, is this a Fire-type move that Emolga can use? Before, he saw that Lin Xuan's main attacker was Emolga, and its strength seemed to be quite abnormal. He even secretly wondered if it was Zapdos's illegitimate offspring. Now he can make that judgment.

Whether this is Zapdos's illegitimate child or not is another matter, but it must be Moltres's illegitimate child, right?

Seeing that Lin Xuan seemed to be about to make a big move, Liu Quan hesitated for a moment and did not go up to interrupt him directly. After all, his identity was that of a "sparring partner". He would accompany Lin Xuan to see just how strong the skill he wanted to test was!

"Iron Palm Warrior, True Qi Fist!"

True Qi Fist is a true ultimate move for Fighting-type characters under normal circumstances, but the problem is that it's a pain because it requires charging up.

And so what if you're charging up? Other characters like Meteor Beam and Divine Bird Strike also need to charge up, but they can't be interrupted!

If you encounter even the slightest external interference, you can't use the True Qi Fist, so it's a skill that rarely appears in combat.

Liu Quan used this move at this time to fully test the strength that Lin Xuan was about to display.

"Let's see if your trump card is stronger, or my Iron Palm Warrior's True Qi Fist is stronger."

Liu Quan said very easily. In his opinion, the question was a foregone conclusion because the difference in strength between the two elves was too great. Even just now, Iron Palm Warrior did not use his full strength and held back.

"Ahem, if you can make Iron Palm Warrior stand still and let Little Dot hit him once, that would be fine too~" Lin Xuan said casually.

"Why don't you just stand there and let me punch you?" Liu Quan's face darkened. No wonder his junior sister had said that his junior brother was good in every way, except that he was a bit unreliable.

“That won’t do, you’re going to kill someone, there’s a fundamental difference between the two!” Lin Xuan retorted, but Xiao Dian’s actions didn’t stop.

As the ball of fire was released from his hand, the cage that had previously missed its target was quickly pulled back.

If someone looks closely, they can see that there is actually a thin wire connecting the small point to this electric grid, allowing him to control it freely.

Two special forces collided and converged rapidly in front of the Iron Palm Warrior.

Before this, Xiaodian's power was always significantly stronger than that of the flame, which inevitably caused some imbalance when using Thunderfire Double Strike.

But after obtaining the flames from the firebird, the balance seemed to be gradually restored. Although it was still far inferior to electricity, it was at least stronger.

In particular, the electric current and the flame itself are extremely violent energies, while the trace of "life" contained in the firebird's flames appears between the two as if adding the finishing touch. This fusion of birth and destruction is even more terrifying.

"This is……"

As the small point of lightning and fire double-click successfully detonated, the Iron Palm Warrior also unleashed his true qi fist, the powerful force instantly making the training ground restless.

The deafening roar and powerful blast of the explosion caused Lin Xuan to cover her ears and take a few steps back. All she could see was smoke and dust and a few fleeting glimpses of electricity.

And the only one who felt the most profound impact of the small-point lightning double strike was... the Iron Palm Warrior!

The moment the True Qi Fist was unleashed, he could feel the intense destructive power of the Thunderfire Strike, but even though this power was strong, he was confident that he could destroy it with a single punch.

But when his fist actually touched the flames and electric current that had almost merged into one, he realized that his previous idea seemed to be a bit wrong.

It is true that these flames and currents possess powerful destructive force, but at the same time, the faint trace of "life force" makes them even more resilient. So much so that when the Iron Palm Warrior threw a punch, he was unable to completely extinguish the Thunderfire Double Strike, and a small amount of current and flames still clung to his body.

Then... both Liu Quan and Iron Palm Warrior were surprised to discover something—they were injured!

It's not that Liu Quan is bragging, but with the thick layer of fat on Iron Palm Warriors, although they don't have the same strong resistance to electric types as fire or ice types, even the electric net from before wouldn't really cause any damage.

As for why he hid, it was just a habit he had developed over so many battles, and it was hard to change. It's like even if you're thinking of going to a low-skilled area to bluff your way into a fishpond, you can't just jump into the fishpond without thinking at all.

However, Lin Xuan, this fish, seems to have transcended the category of fish; it's become a torpedo! That's a bit outrageous.

"Is this all it takes to break through their defenses?"

Lin Xuan said with some regret that although he knew Liu Quan was very strong and would at least be in the top three or even higher in a provincial competition, he still found it hard to believe the Iron Palm Warrior's strong performance.

After all, he understood the power of Thunderfire Strike better than Liu Quan. When Eevee was experimenting with the skill before, it would always activate its Danger Foresight ability and hide to the side early, not wanting to be touched at all.

"Junior, what's going on with you...?"

Even the well-informed Liu Quan was momentarily stunned. Such a performance was truly remarkable. However, it was a pity that they were not a Fire-type or Electric-type Gym, and the Martial Arts Tournament that Lin Xuan was going to participate in later only allowed Fighting-type Pokémon to participate.

"Ahem, it was just something I whipped up casually, nothing special~" Lin Xuan said casually, waving his hand.

Liu Quan:......

My junior brother is good in every other way, but this one thing is a bit annoying—he's too Versailles!

With the spirit of using it to the fullest extent possible, Lin Xuan had Xiao Dian try a Thunderfire Double Strike on the Iron Palm Warrior, and then decisively raised the Carlos military salute.

"We surrendered; we couldn't win."

"No more practice?"

"No need, that's enough."

Lin Xuan shook her head. If it were just ordinary training, Xiao Dian could complete it by herself, and even more efficiently.

Lin Xuan sought out Liu Quan to see what flaws existed in the Thunderfire Double Strike technique in actual combat. This kind of technique can only be trained in real battles, but Eevee and Gallade are still a bit lacking in strength and are not suitable as sparring partners. Otherwise, Xiaodian wouldn't have dared to use his full strength.

The most suitable one is obviously the Iron Palm Warrior from Liuquan, a spirit that is willing to take a beating and can withstand a beating. Moreover, Lin Xuan also discovered many flaws in the Thunder and Fire Double Strike from the battle just now.

First, fully utilizing it is an unavoidable issue that needs further improvement. Second, the power of Thunderfire Double Strike doesn't seem to be as great as Lin Xuan imagined, or rather, its potential hasn't been fully realized.

The double strike of lightning and fire reminded Lin Xuan of the intertwined flames and lightning of Reshiram and Zekrom, but that represented the "Tao," which could not be explained by the ordinary collision of flames and electricity like this little point.

However, it is not impossible to explore this direction and create more possibilities when flames and electricity intertwine, not just limited to the art of explosions.

As for the other purpose of challenging Liu Quan, Lin Xuan had a rough idea of ​​what kind of strength was needed to win the championship.

"So, junior brother, are you still confident of winning the championship?"

Liu Quan said to Lin Xuan with a smile that he had wanted to get revenge when Bricaron lost before, and he didn't expect to have the opportunity so soon.

Lin Xuan, on the other hand, focused his attention on Xiaodian, who was panting heavily after using Thunderfire Double Strike twice, and on the Iron Palm Warrior, who looked somewhat burned but was actually not seriously injured.

Even the smaller ones are no match for this Iron Fist Warrior, let alone Gallade. It can only be said that the distance to the championship seems to be farther than imagined!

Under normal circumstances, even if Gallade were to ride a rocket, it seems unlikely that it could level up that quickly.

"That's hard to say!"

But what you think in your heart is one thing, at least you can't lose in terms of momentum!

However, there does seem to be a way to quickly improve one's strength. The key to this problem lies with Lin Xuan, and that is—the wave guide!

Even if Lin Xuan has great talent and Luo Guan teaches her well, it's impossible for her to master advanced waveguide techniques in just one month. However, she will still have a chance to learn some basic applications, such as telepathy.

This is the advantage that wave guide users have over superpowered individuals.

In theory, anyone can become a superpowered person, but even those with exceptional talent cannot bend a spoon.

However, the entry requirements for waveguide users are much simpler, since the threshold has already eliminated the vast majority of people.

So why do trainers end up training themselves? What the heck is this?

Although reluctant, Lin Xuan realized that in the following month, besides Gallade, she also needed to work hard!

Chapter 284 Who are you?

"You can move even faster. Don't worry about so much. You need to be more unrestrained in the fight."

Lin Xuan looked at Xiao Xi and Xiao Mi, who were having a "training match" with Gallade, and said that a week had passed since he arrived at the Jin Hui Gym. These two were great in every way, except for one thing...

It's not really a problem, but the two mice are too attached to each other, to the point that they're hesitant when facing a strong opponent like Gallade, afraid that the other might get hurt. While it's good that they have a good relationship... can they please stop showing off their affection during battle?!
