A faint smile appeared on Lu Ze's face. After stopping Lucario and Iron Valiant, who were about to step forward, he simply watched Goomy complete its evolution.
After the light faded, Goomy evolved into Sliggoo.
"Goo!"
Ash looked at the evolved Sliggoo and quickly took out his Pokédex.

Then, a Shadow Ball flew toward Sliggoo.
That guy had actually stolen its spotlight!

Though things like bonds could not be explained scientifically.
Just like Ash's
