Chu Xin scratched his head and waited for his next opponent to take the field. Xiao Wu was incredibly strong, though, far beyond anything these students in his year could match.
Several students from Class Two fell to Xiao Wu in succession, yet Xiao Wu's condition had not changed at all. Xiao Wu still looked utterly dispirited.
"We're almost there! Look how listless his Pokémon is! It must have exhausted itself during the battles. As long as we keep at it, we're bound to win!"
That was how Class Two's class monitor encouraged his teammates, but Chu Xin could only look helpless when he overheard. Xiao Wu was listless because of the Azelf Stone, which inherently weakened the will. Naturally, wearing it gave Xiao Wu that side effect too. He had never expected it to give Class Two's class monitor hope of victory.
Oh, forget it. I won't shatter their illusions. I'll just go easy on them and make it look like an even match.
Chu Xin used his ability to convey his thoughts to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu opened those eyes in confusion, then looked at the Chikorita the opponent had sent out. How am I supposed to hold back against a Pokémon this weak?
The student from Class Two wasted no time after stepping onto the field and immediately began the battle.
"Chikorita, use Leech Seed!"
Seeds flung from Chikorita scattered around Xiao Wu, and vines took root on Xiao Wu's body, causing a slight tickle.
"Chikorita, keep going with Sleep Powder!"
Chikorita opened its mouth wide and blew a purple cloud over Xiao Wu. Already listless, Xiao Wu yawned upon coming into contact with the Sleep Powder and promptly went to sleep.
*I could resist it, but why bother? Chu Xin wants me to hold back anyway.
