Yeah this was a big miss for me. It didn't look like an ancient amoongus to me, more like a regional variant that lives in swamps. Picture it with goomy and the g/p whooper.

Moxie with a damage bonus for one move

Would have opened with Psych Up dropping a clefable in on a boosted opponent.

Either that or dragon just to support it's sheer bulk.

"No, the patient is co-operating now. We don't need the distilled komala sap."

This would be a good time to revisit this now that the author is working on the story again.

When I saw the word cosmetic used I thought he was going to try and grow different color variations to sell. How many people would like an all natural way to change your hair color that just requires you to eat a piece of fruit. Or how many people would like a different colored mon even if it wasn't shiny?

Honesty at least partial could probably sell it to just about anyone. 1. He is the sponsor of an orphanage. 2. He has a junior professorship. 3. He has a modest sized (public) reserve set up. 4. He plans to sponsor some trainers out of his orphanage. A small population of pokemon under an elder of their species who is not aggressive to humans; sounds like a fairly standard way of starting a ranch like Oak's. Or if he starts to build up his orphanage to a franchise a setup like the Rota academy. So far he has Weedle, Caterpie, various elemental Rattata, Hoppip, plus with this chapter Budew, and Lotad. A little grass and bug heavy but not a bad selection for underprivileged children.

Half expected him to earn a Happiny or Audino egg by the end of the pokemon center section

No this is where White Beard shows how much of a bro he could be, "So what did you want brat I'm feeling thankful for helping me shake off the rust and no of my sons are hurt worse than their pride."
