"Togepi!"
"Togepi!"
That evening, on the villa's first floor, a Togetic and a Togekiss stared at each other, then began chattering nonstop.
Only the two of them were staying on the first floor now, since Steven and Pheobe had moved upstairs.
Cynthia's eyes lit up as she looked at Togekiss. "So this is Togekiss?"
"It's so cute."
Chen Shi glanced at her Togetic, inwardly stunned.
Not only had this Togetic evolved, but its level had shot straight up to Mid Elite, and its potential had reached Near-Champion.
This was the Togetic he had given her, after all. It had only been a little over two months since it hatched, yet it had already reached Mid Elite.
He had no idea what Cynthia had done to make it grow so quickly. Before long, it should be ready to evolve into Togekiss with a Shiny Stone.
Then Chen Shi said gently, "Your Togetic looks close to evolving, too. You'll have one of your own soon."
"Togepi!"
Togetic happened to hear him and fixed Cynthia with an eager stare.
For Pokémon, the desire to evolve was etched into their bones. Apart from a small minority that refused to evolve, most Pokémon looked forward to it immensely.
Especially now that Togetic had met an evolved member of its own species, it could hardly wait.
Cynthia rubbed Togetic's head. "Don't rush. Once you've had a little more time to get used to your body, you can evolve with a Shiny Stone."
"Togepi~"
Togetic nodded happily.
Afterward, the two released all their Pokémon and prepared food for each of them.
Dragapult, Garchomp, and the others greeted each other naturally, like old friends reunited.
Chen Shi finally got to see Cynthia's entire team.
A mid-stage Senior Elite King Garchomp; early-stage Senior Elite King Lucario, Milotic, and Glaceon;
