"Doo-doo!!"
(The chief is dead! Run!!)
With the Palpitoad couple defeated, the remaining Tympole scattered in panic, fleeing up and down the river.
Wawa paid no attention to them. Only after his anger had faded did he toss the dead male Palpitoad aside.
"Yo-po!"
(Thank you, warrior!)
Once the fighting was over, the badly injured old Veteran Level Poliwhirl came before Wawa, supported by the female Poliwhirl, and thanked him sincerely.
Warrior was the Poliwag family's highest honorific for a benefactor or someone strong.
"Yo-po, yo-po~~"
(It was nothing~~)
His anger gone, Wawa had returned to his usual self. He waved a hand to show there was no need to make a fuss.
The old Veteran Level Poliwhirl paused at the sight of Wawa, who seemed like a different Pokémon from the one who had fought, then spoke again.
"Yo-po, yo-po!"
(Would you stay with us, warrior? Our clan may not be strong, but we have a treasure that might help you!)
As he spoke, the old Poliwhirl gave the other two Poliwhirl a look.

Besides, Big Bro and Mu Yun had helped him so much. Perhaps they would like it.
Wawa took the Moonlight Purifying Stone and the Moonlight Essence
