Virgil winces, "Alolan raticates? Really?" he looks over at Ral, "Are you ready to put what you've learned from Rise to the test?" "Probably!" says Ral, sounding half confident. "Draining Kiss!" she jumps off Virgil's shoulder and splats onto the face of the nearest raticate, draining its health.
A stray raticate leaps at Virgil. Ral intercepts it at the last second with a Draining Kiss. There's a flash of bright light and newly-evolved kirlia blasts away any raticates that were unfortunate enough to get too close to her trainer. "Stay away from him!"
Ral squeals in excitement and does a little twirl before shrieking as a raticate pounces on her and hits it in the face with a Dazzling Gleam.
Ral makes sure the raticates are far away before climbing back onto Virgil's shoulders, "Did you see that?" she chimes, "I was awesome, wasn't I?" "You were awesome." Virgil agrees.
Jigg wanders over to Lunar with Gold. Somehow, the pichu was able to stay asleep throughout the entire battle.
Rise asks if Ral wants to play and I keep think of something that was so long ago when me and solar first met same Pokémon that just ran off was one of the reasons
Ral eagerly jumps down from Virgil's shoulders and her trainer reminds her to be careful as she darts over to Rise.
Rise plays with Ral and I started recounting the memory aloud "We were playing both sets of us then we ran into that pack of black raticates and we all got really injured but we had became friends"
"And then I evolved to save Virgil!" Ral chimes in excitedly, playing with her newly boosted psychic powers.
