Slightly different from Zoroark, Gardevoir had been actively absorbing the Origin Energy from the beginning, so it gained far more benefits than the former.

Next, Sato scanned the surroundings back and forth, looking for his next target.
Very quickly, three Pinsir were lucky enough to catch Sato's eye. They were still excitedly locking horns and had completely failed to notice Sato's group watching like tigers.
