Recovery!

"Hwah-chi!"

(Master, please teach me how to get stronger!!)

Wimpod struck a pose no one knew where he had learned. He arched his body slightly and crossed the feelers on his head, as though bowing.

"Hiss-bee?"

Xiao Du scratched his head with a Bee Needle as he looked at Wimpod, who seemed so solemn and pleading.

With that, Wimpod achieved a five-loss streak against every Pokémon Mu Yun had.

"This little guy's got some grit!"

The day passed quickly. When Wimpod showed up early the next morning, Mu Yun
