After the battle ended, Palpitoad's body suddenly shone with a dazzling white light.
Bathed in that white light, Palpitoad began to change shape.
"Oh, Palpitoad's finally evolving?"
As Bai Shi watched, undisguised joy spread across his face.
Wasn't this the very moment he had been coming to the Battle Club every day for?
Now, Palpitoad's hard work had finally paid off.
Before long, the light gradually faded, revealing Palpitoad's evolved form.
Now a Seismitoad, the Pokémon had grown a pair of powerful blue arms that looked as though they had been cast from steel.
Large blue-black bumps covered several parts of Seismitoad's body.
Rather than making Seismitoad ugly, those bumps only added to the Pokémon's imposing presence.
Seismitoad had also become noticeably bulkier, shooting up from eighty centimeters to around a meter and sixty centimeters tall, standing there like a towering mountain that inspired awe.
"Congratulations, Seismitoad!"
Smiling, Bai Shi walked over to Seismitoad and offered his congratulations.
"Seismi~" (Bai Shi, check out these muscles!)
Seismitoad puffed out a proud chest and raised both arms, striking various poses to show off that powerful physique in response to his congratulations.
Seismitoad was clearly delighted with this newly evolved body.
All those daily battles against other Pokémon lately had not been in vain.
Every bit of effort and sweat now seemed worthwhile.
I've completely transformed. I'm incredibly strong now.
Then, as usual, Bai Shi took out his Pokédex and scanned Seismitoad.
To his pleasant surprise, Seismitoad had even learned Drain Punch upon evolving.
This new move raised Seismitoad's strength to another level.
Bai Shi used the club's training facilities to conduct a thorough test.
Through those tests, he found that nearly all of Seismitoad's moves had grown more powerful.
With this level of strength, Seismitoad could easily serve as a mainstay at
