"Come out! My most beloved partner!"
Xiaosong kissed the Poké Ball in his hand, then hurled it with all his strength. A flash of white light appeared, and a Butterfree emerged in the forest.
"Squirtle..."
Seeing this, Squirtle knew that the time had come for it to fulfill its mission!
To fight for its Trainer!
"Squirtle, do you want to battle?" Dongshu asked.
"Squirtle! Squirtle!" Squirtle nodded vigorously. After eating that seafood rice, it felt as though its body was brimming with strength!
"Alright, I'll leave it to you!" Dongshu said. This was the perfect chance to test how the Sacred Ash mixed rice had improved Squirtle.

"Squirtle?!"
Squirtle looked utterly incredulous. Bubble Beam was clearly its Move!
"Don't back down, Squirtle! Give it everything you've got with **Water
