Depending on the attribute of the ingredient used or its potency, there were different ways to add it to the original potion.
Some could be left to soak in it for a long time to allow the effects to gently have an effect on it while others had mixed in well enough right away and could be preserved for a long time.
Other ingredients were much too potent and could cause a sudden depletion of the effects over time if it was left for too long after it had been added especially if the contents inside leaked out in any way.
It was one of the reasons why the poisonous ingredients had to be measured carefully to be able to increase the effectiveness towards poison types but could not completely overpower and destroy the other ingredients.
Water attribute herbs and ingredients would be used for to bring the potion towards more of a powerful effect on water types while the poisonous ingredients had done the same for poison types.
It was far more difficult to find ingredients for some types which made it even more difficult to make potions for them especially for psychic and other types.
There existed all kinds of poisons from Pokémon combined with poisonous herbs, berries and many others rare items so there was no lack of available resources to be used on the potion.
Upon combining the two separated parts together, the insides bubbled and started a quick transformation as even the slightest fumes inside had become a vital part of what must be preserved and consumed.
Nidoran was in front of Kimi who held the vial in front of its mouth. "Nidoran!"
She eagerly looked towards the strange liquids inside mixed with bubbles and a strange mist inside the see through glass vial. "Nidoran!"
Something about it was very tempting about it that made her want to consume it so she opened her mouth allowing Kimi to make the next move.
The lid was removed in a quick motion as the vial was placed inside the mouth of Nidoran.
The opening of the vial had pointed towards the back of the throat of Nidoran to make sure that nothing would be wasted.
Nidoran breathed in and took in the gaseous state of the potion that had escaped the vial followed by what was poured out and fell onto the back of her tongue.
Nidoran gulped it down until nothing had remained and Kimi had taken back the vial sealing it shut once more before putting it away. "Good job. Now you can begin."
The talent of Nidoran was not as high as what Growlithe was so it would run into problems later if it was not raised properly but that problem was solved with the help of the potion that was best used before evolution.
Nidoran had reached the stage of evolution during the battle but had been told to suppress it until later.
It did help that a stone was still in Kimi's possession to help halt the evolution of her Pokémon.
Once it was no longer needed, she had took it back from being with Nidoran so that Nidoran could evolve.
Kimi had spent some time and effort running around as Luci just so that Nidoran could grow faster which had paid off and resulted in the present situation.
Since Nidoran would evolve at only level sixteen, it was easier for Kimi to rush the evolution to help build up a more useful member of her dark team to be used under her identity as Luci.
The white glow started all around the body of Nidoran which signalled her evolution until it completely surrounded and hid her body within.
Only a vague form could be seen within as it was slowly changing back and forth between a smaller form and a slightly bigger one.
Nidoran was one of the Pokémon that Kimi liked for its balanced stats and its available evolutions that could provide further chances for improvement.
Not only did Nidoran evolve quickly at only level sixteen but it still had one more way to evolve so there was another chance towards improving upon its potential.
Those were further amplified by the fact that the Moon Stone would also provide some advantages towards making the same improvements to its final form which would end up with a much better potential than what it started off with.
Two evolutions provided two uses of the talent based potions that could only be used before the evolutionary process with the addition of the effects of a high grade Moon Stone so a low talent could be turned into a medium talent while a medium talent could be turned into a high talent or at least closer to it.
Unfortunately not every Pokémon had three forms and some even had just the one without ever being able to evolve so the available options to assist in making improvements were somewhat limited and favoured those that evolved more than others.
The light that glowed around the body of Nidoran started to slowly disperse as a larger form had been hidden within.
It was slowly revealed before the eyes of Kimi who had smiled upon seeing that there had been no problems with completing the evolution.
A quadrupedal, sky-blue mammalian Pokémon with dark-blue patches had become more visible as more of the light dispersed.
It had red eyes, large spiny ears and had two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw.
It possessed large poison spikes that could retract whenever it was with a group, feeding its children or while resting.
Its paws had three claws each and it was able to stand on its hind legs which were longer and thicker than its forelegs.
It had a stubbly tail and had a very gentle atmosphere surrounding it.
Nidoran had evolved into Nidorina successfully which had made it be added to the amount of evolved Pokémon that Kimi had raised and invested in such a short span of time.
Feeling the new body she had and the power that came with it, Nidorina looked towards Kimi and waved her paws around. "Nidorina! Nidorina!"
Seeing her new partner so happy and enthusiastic, her gloved hand went closer towards the head of Nidorina to softly pat it. "Yes.. you did well. You can rest up now."
Nidorina was taken back into the Pokéball as Kimi began to get changed before making her trips around the underground passages until she reached another check in point.
She got changed once more into her usual clothes that she wore as her normal identity as Kimi Jenny then headed back towards Saffron City where her home was.
