Xia You had no objection to Fantina changing her lineup. On the contrary, he was quite happy that she had taken the initiative to bring out her ace Pokémon.
This proved that his performance just now had indeed affected her, forcing her to change her lineup without advance notice in an attempt to claw back a win here.
Didn't that mean I'd succeeded?
Besides, Fantina changing her lineup also meant his Pokémon could get better training. Why wouldn't he welcome it?
Still, he gave a soft chuckle and pointed out what Fantina had in mind.
"Miss Fantina, this Dusknoir of yours... looks quite unusual."
He was telling her that he already knew, but didn't care!
He was also letting Fantina know that he wasn't so easy to fool.
At his words, May, Paris, and Chloe all turned their eyes to Fantina.
They hadn't thought much of it just now.
But now that Xia You had mentioned it, they suddenly realized that this Dusknoir's aura... seemed completely different from that of the previous two!
It really did seem a little stronger!
Could it be Fantina's ace Pokémon?
They couldn't really be blamed for failing to notice right away.
Although May's strength had improved by leaps and bounds lately, and she had traveled through two and a half regions, she was still young. Influenced and limited by her experience and way of thinking, she might gradually have noticed the change once the battle began, but certainly not so quickly.
As for Paris and Chloe, there was even less to be said!
What did these two Pokémon Style Designers know about battling?!
Still, they were adults, and understood as soon as they heard him. Fantina must have done something, and this man had noticed!
Had Fantina sent out her strongest Pokémon?
