"Is this... Fairy Energy?"
Natsuhiko was a bit uncertain but didn't dare to do anything that might affect Togetic's evolution process.
These things.
Ordinary people can't sense it.
But some people can feel it.
Agatha, who was still sitting on the sofa watching TV, noticed something strange about Gengar, who was standing by the window gazing into the distance.
Genji, who was staying on the ship, walked out of the cabin and suddenly discovered that his Salamence was standing on the deck, its entire body scales standing upright.
Drasna stood on the balcony with a smile, looking at the beautiful scene of her homeland. She also noticed her Noivern, which was perched on the balcony railing, with its ears raised in vigilance.
Most importantly.
Far away in a dense forest of the Kalos Region, suffused with a light green glow, a thick and seemingly withered tree trunk suddenly sprouted new green buds and rapidly grew. It seemed to revive, with even the branches appearing in a palette of colors.
Woo——
A faint sound emanated from the trunk.
But Natsuhiko was naturally unaware of all this at the moment.
He was merely fixated on the cocoon of light before him, whose radiance was gradually dimming away.
A brand-new Pokémon was slowly coming into view as it shed the radiant cloak it was adorned with.
The form resembled a bird, with a rounded body covered in white down, broad triangular wings, a belly marked with red and blue triangular spots, and a pair of small cute feet gently twitching. Atop its head was a crest split into three tufts, with the middle one being white, and the side tufts red and blue respectively.
Flutter——
The wings lightly flapped, the crest atop its head quivered, and a pair of rounded little eyes slowly opened.
"Cha~ ka~~ ee~~"
Togekiss!
The evolved form of Togetic, a Fairy and Flying Type Pokémon!
Moreover, with Togekiss's recent evolution, Natsuhiko could confirm it seems to retained the Fairy-type trait.
Looking at the now larger, yet still incredibly cute Togekiss, Natsuhiko couldn't resist reaching out to touch the crest on its head.
Softer than he imagined.
"Cha ka ee~~"
As Natsuhiko touched its crest, Togekiss comfortably squinted its eyes, the wings twitching gently.
The feeling was familiar.
"You've grown up."
"Cha ka ee!!"
Togekiss excitedly flew around Natsuhiko a few times; after evolution, it didn't feel uncomfortable but even found this body more comfortable than before.
The only question was.
"Waving Finger," how to perform this technique in the future?
The crest atop its head twitched as it quickly thought of a good plan and started laughing to itself.
Its laughter was infectious to Natsuhiko.
Soon from a distance, one could hear a Trainer and a Pokémon giggling foolishly together.
Evolution.
It's something that brought joy to both Togekiss and Natsuhiko.
After a while, Natsuhiko recovered.
"By the way, Togekiss, after evolution, do you feel any special changes?"
"Cha ka ee!"
Natsuhiko's forehead showed a dark line, "Not about losing hands; I mean in terms of strength, techniques, or energy, anything different? A top-quality Stone of Light dropped into water should at least make a sound."
"Cha ka ee..."
Togekiss tilted its head and carefully felt.
Not realizing at first, it was startled upon sensing it.
The rich Fairy Energy within it was surprising, far beyond what it used to be.
Not only the Fairy Energy, but its previously unused Flying Energy within was now unusually active, even more so than the Fairy Energy.
Most importantly.
It clearly felt the change in its strength.
And... some techniques it had never used before.
"Cha ka ee."
'Step aside a bit.'
Hearing Togetic's words, Natsuhiko was momentarily stunned but still stepped back a few paces.
Then watched as Togekiss softly flapped its wings and flew above the forest canopy, a gentle glow flickering on its body, condensing into a bird-like shape that enveloped it.
And as the accumulation of time went on, the "bird" shaped layer surrounding it became more solid, to the point one could even see individual feathers.
The next second.
Togekiss, draped in these energies, swooped down swiftly.
Bang!!!
A robust tree trunk snapped easily in response, and Togekiss stabilized itself, rather satisfied, nodding in approval.
Comfortable.
Natsuhiko's eyes gleamed.
"Divine Bird Frenzy!"
This move used by Togekiss was undeniably Divine Bird Frenzy.
A high-powered, 140-point Flying-type Technique, known for its incredible destructive and striking power. Also, upon hitting an enemy, it has a pretty good chance to make the opponent fall into a "Wither" state, which complements Togekiss's "Celestial Grace" trait beautifully.
This chance is much greater than the possibility of "Wither" caused by "Divine Power."
In the game, the probability of causing an opponent to wither with Divine Bird Frenzy is 30%, doubling with the "Celestial Grace" trait to 60%.
With Togekiss's luck, isn't it bound to round up favorably?
The only drawback is that this move requires some time to charge.
Though that's not a big problem; the item "Powerful Vanilla" can greatly reduce the charge time.
Perhaps it's just that Togekiss specializes in Special Attack, so this sort of Physical Attack Type technique might not necessarily suit it.
