After finishing the second round of Revival Herb planting, Bai Shi finally freed himself from his busy farmwork and turned his attention to raising his Pokémon.
His main focus was naturally on Zigzagoon, Cubchoo, and Zorua, the Pokémon that had yet to evolve.
After a period of adjustment, the newly caught Zigzagoon had more or less settled into the team.
With Stantler "power-leveling" it, Zigzagoon made considerable progress and successfully learned Roar.
Cubchoo, for whom Bai Shi had high hopes, had also gained control over the immense Ice-type energy within its body, learning Ice Beam and Avalanche in succession.
