Sage's heart swelled with pride as she watched her Pokémon give it their all during their intense training session as the air buzzed with energy and each member of her team was pushing past their limits.
Their hard work was paying off and Sage could feel the bond between them growing stronger with every passing moment.
Her Rotom Phone suddenly buzzed, grabbing her attention. She glanced at the screen and saw an update for Shadebark's moveset:
Shadow Ball
Sludge Bomb
Magical Leaf
Thorn Storm
Bitter Burst
Sludge Bomb will be so useful for the fourth Gym," Sage said as her excitement was bubbling over as she smiled at Shadebark who wagged its tail and barked happily, clearly proud of its progress.
The Rotom Phone buzzed again and this time displayed Wartortle's updated moveset:
Scald
Aqua Jet
Bite
Water Pulse
Hydro Sphere
Scald is a fantastic addition!" Sage exclaimed as she imagined all the ways it could be used strategically in her battles and especially against tough opponents as Wartortle puffed out its chest proudly as it looked ready to show off its newfound strength.
