"Little Arceus?" Cynthia whipped her gaze toward the adorable Pokémon, struggling to understand.
How could such a tiny, adorable Pokémon dare call itself Little Arceus?
Even Rayquaza wouldn't dare, would it?
Unlike Cynthia, Steven was more interested in the title that followed-"the ultimate whack-a-mole champion"-and immediately chuckled.
"What's the story, Old Chen? Does it really like whack-a-mole?"
"Poni-o?"

"That brings us to Ogerpon's signature move," Chen Shi said with a sigh of admiration. "It's called Ivy Cudgel. It's very powerful and extremely accurate."
"Of course, that's not the most important part. What matters is that its Ivy Cudgel can change to Fire, Water, Rock,
