Just as Lu Ze was handing out presents to his Pokémon, Ramos stepped onto the platform again.
"Then, let's start over!"
"To take the bond between Trainers and Pokémon to the next level!"
"Under this Tree of Promise, the festival begins!"
"Everyone, count down together!"
At Ramos's words, everyone began counting down.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
As everyone's voices fell silent, everyone and every Pokémon, including Lu Ze, looked up at the Tree of Promise.

Beneath the lights shining down from the Tree of Promise, everyone began presenting their carefully prepared gifts to their Pokémon.
An electric motor toy for Electivire, a martial arts comic for Sirfetch'd, bought in this world.
A cup made from floral and herbal essence for Whimsicott, and a Bone Club specially crafted from unique materials for Lucario.
A whetstone for Iron Valiant, a colorful ribbon for Beldum, and Malicious Armor for Charcadet.
The Malicious Armor had come from Cynthia.

Naturally, in return, Lu Ze said he would treat Cynthia to ice cream the next time they met.

Of course, although he had given the Malicious Armor to Charcadet now, Lu Ze had no intention of letting Charcadet evolve yet.
Unlike other Pokémon that could undergo Self-Evolution once they reached a certain stage.
