Chapter 687 - 686: Shift in Mindset, Poliwhirl
As Cain watched Poliwag’s body begin to shine with a white light, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally, it was about to evolve.
All the battles they had been fighting were meant to give Poliwag and the others that final push in their levels.
Now that Poliwag was evolving, Cain could focus on other priorities.
He pulled a special quality-enhancing potion for Poliwag out of his storage space and handed it over for Poliwag to drink directly.
The light of evolution finally engulfed Poliwag entirely.
Keeping Poliwag in its current state somewhat restricted its combat abilities. Even though its level was higher than Combusken’s and the others, its offensive capabilities weren’t particularly notable. Only its Swift Swim ability under the rain allowed it to stand out in terms of speed.
In the recent battle against a group of Poliwag and Poliwhirl who countered Rain Dance, Poliwag had fought frustratingly.
However, it was precisely this battle that made Poliwag realize its true self.
Over the past few days of battles, Poliwag’s ego had started to swell, believing itself to be the core of the team—the most important member. Though it never said this outright, it was how it felt.
This was understandable. Transitioning from a marginal member to a key player who initiated battles with Rain Dance was a difficult change to process.
