Lucario and the others were even more nervous than Zeraora, who seemed perfectly calm.
As Lucario, Diancie, and the others waited anxiously, Nurse Joy interpreted the test results,
and gave them an encouraging answer.
Nurse Joy added, "Not only has Zeraora's body fully recovered,
but judging by the data from all the tests, you could say Zeraora has actually become younger.

It had already felt the difference.
Zeraora really did feel younger.

And this habit wasn't good in battle, either.
Relying too heavily on its left foot would
