Not long after, a tall, slender Frogadier appeared before them.
It possessed two long arms, prominent protrusions on its head, and two striking white dots adorning its nose, adding a unique aesthetic touch.
The evolved Froakie, now a Frogadier, had significantly recovered its stamina.
The Pokémon around Mu Qingzhu gathered, encircling Frogadier, their joyful laughter filled with warm congratulations for his evolution.
Mu Qingzhu quietly watched the Pokémon's joyful reunion, not interrupting their happiness.
She turned and walked towards the Scyther that had exhausted its strength in the battle; though still weak, it had regained some vitality and was struggling to stand.
The moment Scyther saw Mu Qingzhu, it instinctively tried to attack with its scythe-like arms, but having just gone through an intense battle, its stamina hadn't fully recovered, and it could only weakly wave its arms.
Mu Qingzhu then activated Advanced Tokiwa Power, carefully healing Scyther's wounds.
Feeling the warmth of its injuries gradually improving, Scyther gave up on attacking and showed a rare trust in Mu Qingzhu.
Before long, Scyther's injuries had mostly healed, and seeing this, Mu Qingzhu took out an intermediate energy cube and gently offered it to him.
Scyther deftly took the energy cube and swallowed it without hesitation.
Feeling the surge of power and confident that it had fully recovered, it expressed deep gratitude to Mu Qingzhu, then elegantly turned and disappeared into the dense jungle.
After seeing Scyther leave, Mu Qingzhu turned and walked towards her Pokémon, then used Tokiwa Power to restore Frogadier's stamina and took out a perfect-grade energy block from her system backpack for Frogadier.
After Frogadier recovered, Mu Qingzhu decided to rest there for a while.
She also checked Frogadier's current status:
[Pokémon: Frogadier (Shinny) Attributes: Water Level: 25 Gender: Male Ability: Protean (Changes to the same type as the move it uses) Moves: Pound, Growl, Water Gun, Quick Attack, Lick, Water Pulse, Smokescreen, Round, Fling Egg Moves: Toxic Spikes, Spikes TM Moves: Protect, Substitute, Rain Dance, Grass Knot, U-turn Aptitude: Champion Bond: 20%]
Mu Qingzhu observed her Pokémon in her leisure time and couldn't help but notice that they seemed to have slight differences in size compared to ordinary Pokémon.
Generally, Growlithe are about 1 meter tall; Kirlia are also about 1 meter tall; Servine are within this range, approximately 1 meter; Zorua are slightly shorter, around 0.8 meters tall; and Frogadier are relatively taller, about 1.2 meters.
However, Mu Qingzhu's Pokémon were different: Growlithe reached a height of 1.3 meters; Kirlia was even more impressive, about 1.5 meters tall; Servine was comparable to Kirlia, also 1.5 meters; Zorua was slightly more ordinary, around 1 meter tall; and Frogadier was particularly outstanding, reaching 1.6 meters.
These subtle differences filled Mu Qingzhu with curiosity and pride for her Pokémon.
Immediately after, a thought flashed through Mu Qingzhu's mind, remembering that her system backpack seemed to contain a mysterious Splash Plate.
She then summoned Frogadier and carefully entrusted him with the Splash Plate and the precious Everstone.
After carrying the Splash Plate, Frogadier felt a bit stronger; if he were to battle that Scyther again, he wouldn't be so disheveled.
After careful consideration, Mu Qingzhu realized that they currently possessed two plates.
With the power granted by the plate, Zorua's strength already surpassed that of Kirlia and Servine, who had been continuously training.
And now, Froakie had also successfully obtained a plate; although his strength was not yet comparable to Zorua's, given time, he would certainly be able to rival Zorua in strength.
...
After resting, Mu Qingzhu embarked on a journey deeper into the forest.
Along the way, she encountered many Pokémon stronger than Scyther, so she directed all her Pokémon except Growlithe to battle, while Growlithe quietly absorbed battle experience from the sidelines, preparing for future challenges.
Approaching the deepest part of the forest, Mu Qingzhu decided to take a short break, as both she and her Pokémon had consumed considerable stamina from the recent battles.
Although Tokiwa Power could quickly restore physical stamina, mental fatigue could not be alleviated by this power; only by giving the Pokémon ample rest could they ensure a smoother journey ahead.
During the short break, Mu Qingzhu took out some advanced energy cubes from her system backpack and carefully placed them in front of her Pokémon, allowing them to enjoy this delicious energy supplement.
While the Pokémon were eating, Mu Qingzhu checked her own panel:
