"Wen!"
When Cheng Tian saw Noibat force her swaying body to keep going after taking a Thunderbolt head-on, narrowly dodging Thunder, his eyes could not help growing moist.
It was surprise mingled with many other emotions.
"Why push yourself so hard..."
With the system, he knew every Pokémon's condition like the back of his hand. He had watched this little Noibat grow up. Did her timid nature even need mentioning?
This little one had been cherished like a treasure, cradled in his hands and fed Moomoo Milk since childhood. How could she possibly feel no fear every time she charged out in front?
Cheng Tian loved his Pokémon, loved his companions. Of course he wanted his companions to grow stronger, but he had never forced any of them.
He had seen every change in Noibat. How could he fail to feel her determination to grow stronger, to avoid being left behind by her companions?
He did not want Noibat to push herself. She was the weakest, yet she always had the most injuries. She was the best-behaved, yet refused to follow his commands in battle. She was timid, yet charged forward time and again against enemies several times stronger than herself.
I felt your resolve.
I have never demanded anything of you, but if this is truly what you want, then I beg you, please, by your own decision, give it everything you have.
"Everyone! Restrict Zapdos's movements! But don't attack!" Cheng Tian gave an order his Pokémon found incomprehensible.
"Noibat has to finish this battle herself!"
Greninja's heart was connected to Cheng Tian's, so naturally, Greninja knew how he felt at that moment. But in Greninja's own judgment, the risk was still too great.
"Roar!" Mega Aggron panicked. Something could go wrong if the little one faced Zapdos alone!
