Chu Xin looked at the slightly bashful boy. He had never expected Wang Zhixian's main Pokémon to be Slaking. A Pokémon like that had actually made it onto the Academy Tournament team? Why hadn't he heard about him?
Confusion filled Chu Xin's face. He really hadn't heard Wang Zhixian's name during the Selection Tournament, but anyone who could make the Academy Tournament team had to be pretty strong, right?
Chu Xin speculated instinctively, completely forgetting that he had dropped out of the Selection Tournament himself and had barely taken part in its later rounds. Naturally, he knew nothing about Wang Zhixian. With a Slaking that dealt staggering damage, Wang Zhixian had breezed through every opponent. No matter who faced him, his Slaking defeated them in a single move.
That was only natural, though. If Slaking couldn't defeat its opponent in one move, even its exceptional physical attributes wouldn't keep it from losing in a Selection Tournament packed with experts.
This exposed Slaking's greatest weakness. Because of Truant, it could only fight with quick bursts of power. If it couldn't finish things quickly, its Trainer would have to switch Pokémon, putting them at a disadvantage. For Wang Zhixian to have come this far, his Slaking had to be incredibly powerful!
I really want to see his Slaking!
"What's wrong? Want to get a look at Wang Zhixian's Slaking?"
Zhuo Yue reached out and hooked an arm around Chu Xin's neck, then looked at him with a grin.
Chu Xin glanced at Zhuo Yue beside him, then at the bashful Wang Zhixian, and nodded.
"I really do want to see Senior Student Wang Zhixian's Slaking in action. If he could make the Academy Tournament team with a Pokémon like that, there must be something special about his Slaking."
Hearing Chu Xin's praise,
