Cheng Tian stayed with Frogadier until four in the afternoon the next day. During that time, Frogadier showed Barbaracle the progress it had made-through battle.
Well, whether it could win was beside the point. What mattered was having Barbaracle point out Frogadier's problems.

For one thing, Cheng Tian already had enough Pokémon on his hands to raise. For another, he really wasn't all that fond of a Starter Pokémon like Chikorita. He might as well let it go.
Cheng Tian also let Feebas out and told everyone that it would be their companion from now on.
Apart from Haunter, the other Pokémon were all very happy. Haunter merely glanced over, then flew off, uninterested.

So ugly.
Noibat and Aron happily came over to say hello, warmly welcoming Feebas to the team. Feebas, however, didn't appreciate it at all, turning its head away without even looking at them.
Just the briefest appearance had already driven you wild?
Ah, this damned charm.
"Woo?" "Aron?" Noibat and Aron exchanged a look, not understanding why Feebas didn't like them.
"Flor~" Florges conjured a little pink-and-white flower to give to Feebas, but the latter didn't even look
