[Your growth made the Stow-on-Side Gym Leader proud.] Travel really could transform a trainer. The student might not have reached her peak yet, but compared with when she first set out, she had changed beyond recognition. Her Gym battles had played a major part in that growth. If the Simulator showed Pokémon levels, Baimu figured her Pokémon probably gained two or three levels after every Gym battle. That was high praise. [You set out for Glimwood Tangle.]
The student had suffered a setback here before. A wild Hatterene had nearly lured her away.
Now that she was visiting a second time, she naturally wanted to settle the score.
She had learned the hard way.
Hatterene was eager for another try, too. When it saw that familiar face, it immediately set about repeating its old trick.
It probably had the same thought as the student—
Get back up where you fell.
What Hatterene likely hadn't expected was how quickly a trainer could grow. In just a few months, she had gained the strength to defeat it.
When it fell to Aegislash's blade, the entire screen filled with frantic question marks and exclamation points.
Its shock was plain to see.
The human it had once handled so easily had turned the tables on it?
[You felt wonderful.]
That's the way!
Baimu silently gave the student a thumbs-up.
There was no deadline for revenge. Anytime would do.
[You continued toward Ballonlea.]
The student passed over the would-be kidnapper Hatterene because it wasn't Ghost-type. Of course, her Elite System talent played a part as well.
She took the Stow-on-Side Gym Leader's advice seriously and had no plans to train a seventh Pokémon for battle before the Champion Cup ended.
Dreepy? That was just a carrier for Dragon Darts.
