Xu Mu looked at Pikachu and sighed to himself.
What a waste of a Pikachu.
It had ended up with a Trainer like that!
In Xu Mu's eyes, that Trainer's battle instincts were exceptionally poor.
Anyone with half a brain knew how important protection was in a battle.
The first thing a Trainer should do upon entering the field was put up protection for their Pokémon before the match officially began.
But this Trainer had stood off to the side watching the show right up until the battle started.
Could he even call himself a competent Trainer?
Xu Mu thought about it, looked at the man, and let out a scornful laugh.
He truly could not understand how the man had made it to the finals!
As far as Xu Mu was concerned, someone like him should have been eliminated in the very first preliminary match!
Noticing Xu Mu's expression, Cynthia asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Xu Mu?"
Her voice brought Xu Mu back to his senses.
He looked at her with a smile and said, "Nothing. I was just thinking about something!"
He gave Cynthia another smile.
"Oh!"
Cynthia took Xu Mu's hand.
Looking at him, she asked, "Are you tired?"
In Cynthia's eyes, Xu Mu had been busy for far too long and had not had a proper rest in ages.
At her question, Xu Mu slipped an arm around her shoulders.
"It's all right!"
"Cynthia, there's really nothing wrong with me!"
Since Xu Mu had said as much, Cynthia could only nod.
Then she turned back to watch the match closely.
As Misty gradually gained the upper hand, the man grew more and more worked up!
"Little girl!"
"Don't get too smug!"
"Just you watch!"
"I'm going to beat you!"
Misty felt helpless when she heard him.
