After listening to Metagross's translation, Lin Mo reached out to rub Larvesta's head and readily agreed. "Sure, no problem. But don't spend all your time playing these next few days. Train a little longer every day and properly absorb that energy. Only once you've mastered the extra energy can I give you more.
"As long as you work hard, you can have all the Advanced Energy Orbs you want."
Beside them, Fire Vulpix listened to Larvesta's declaration that it would defeat Tyrantrum.
Although it didn't quite understand some of the words, it could hear the ambition in Larvesta's voice.
Caught up in Larvesta's excitement, Fire Vulpix wagged its six fluffy tails and circled around it.
It kept crying, "Vuu, vuu~," as though cheering Larvesta on.
Lin Mo wasn't actually very optimistic about Larvesta beating Tyrantrum after evolving and making Tyrantrum acknowledge it as the boss.

Of course, he couldn't say that aloud and hurt Larvesta's confidence. He could only play along.
"You'll definitely win then. Once you evolve, Tyrantrum won't stand a chance against you."
His words made Larvesta even more pleased with itself. It raised its little head higher and turned to leave, eager to start training.
But Larvesta was so busy holding its head high and showing off that it missed the threshold beneath its feet. With a thud, it fell flat on its face.

"Pfft!"
Milotic couldn't help covering its mouth with its tail fin and letting out a string of silvery giggles.
Little Ice Vulpix's eyes widened at the sight of Larvesta with its rear sticking up, and it couldn't
