Looking at the Amoonguss before him, Ye Lan felt immensely pleased. This was probably the sense of achievement that came from raising Pokémon as a Trainer. He had felt something similar playing games in his previous life, but the satisfaction he felt now was far, far stronger.
According to the official Pokédex, Oh-no Amoonguss only reached a modest height after evolving into Amoonguss. Yet his Amoonguss, counting the thickness of his cap, nearly reached Ye Lan's chin. Ye Lan stood a full 1.84 meters tall, which showed just how much bigger Amoonguss was than an ordinary member of his species. The caps on his arms and head were much plumper, too...
Hmm... Perhaps it was because he had used a Balm Mushroom as an evolution material, but Amoonguss now constantly gave off a faint, pleasant fragrance. Most people might not notice it, but as a cook, Ye Lan had picked up on it right away.
"If I get any more of those special mushrooms, I should set some aside to taste. I bet they'd be delicious."
"Though that does seem a little extravagant..."
Musing aloud, Ye Lan checked Amoonguss's current stats:
Name: Amoonguss Gender: Male Type: Grass-type/Poison-type Category: Mushroom Pokémon Ability: Regenerator (Hidden Ability). Effect: Restores a small amount of stamina after being recalled into a Poké Ball. Known moves: Absorb, Astonish, Growth, Stun Spore, Giga Drain, Synthesis, Sweet Scent, Giga Drain, Clear Smog, Protect, Sludge Bomb, Toxic, Graft Egg moves: Poison Powder, Defense Curl Rank: Mid Professional level Evolution progress: None (fully evolved)
"Mid Professional level already? He probably isn't far from the late stage, either. Once he gets used to his new body and settles down, he might break through. That money was well spent!"
Although his strength still seemed some distance behind their first-string fighters,
