While his team was healing, Chuck briefly considered bringing Zenni in for the Grand Trial, and ultimately thought it would be best, but keep him on the back burner, in case Ariel and Captain failed. He would be his ace in the hole, along with his Mega Evolution.
Once his team had been healed, he swapped out Kite and Zenni, letting out the Blastoise to see him again. "Blaaaast!" Zenni called, happy to see Chuck again, giving him a big hug. "Good to see you too Zenni." Chuck said, smiling and hugging his very first Pokémon back. Zenni turned to Mike, Liam, and Shiranui and waived to them, glad to see them again as well. However, he cocked his head when he saw Jen, as she was a new face to him. He got close to her and bowed his head, letting her pet him if she wished.
