Tokomon starts attempting to climb the trellis itself.

She watches it carefully to make sure it doesn't fall or she is there to catch it (with her leaf) if it does, and starts eating Good Fruit leaves on one of the plants that has had all the Fruits eaten off so people aren't crowding it. 

This leaf tastes of bitter-sweetness and offering Tsubumon her grass.

With use of its limbs, ears, hops, and teeth, Tokomon is able to make it up onto a crosspiece with hardly any falling.

Then it bites off a whole cluster in one go.

Whoah. 

...

Where...does food go...once it is not in your mouth anymore???

She eats another Good Leaf as she contemplates this. 

This leaf tastes, recursively, like going back for a second Good Fruit. (But not like the fruit itself.) It has no insights to share on the ultimate destination thereof.

While she's feeling contemplative, she might check her stats again.

...Nyokimon is what she was before she changed, and Budmon is what she is now, but what are Lalamon and Piyomon? 

Leaf wing is probably using her leaf or leaves to hop higher. She doesn't like the sound of Poison Thorns. What happens if she slaps the ground with her leaf? 

She can hit exactly where she means to, and if she likes she can hit with more force than her leaf ought to have, perhaps even as much as hopping bodily (but without the thorns).

Oh!!! Hopping with no thorns! She does that. 

She can indeed now launch herself off the ground and into the air by pushing off with her leaf! As a projectile she's still just as thorny, of course - her leaf is still her thorn-free part.

Can she land on her leaf too? 

She can absorb the impact of landing with it, yes! She can't balance on it or support herself on it for more than a few moments, yet, but that might yield to practice.

She considers this, decides that practice can wait until eating time is done, and then decides to see what happens if she eats two Good Fruit leaves at once. 

Together, the two leaves taste like a more abstracted feeling of sharing her grass with someone.

Speaking of eating time, now that she's feeling more vertically confident maybe she'll want to use that to get at some less-crowded fruits?

This tree, for example, has fruits of a similar red but much bigger; while it's too tall to straightforwardly climb, some of the fruits hang down close to the ground.

...Ooh! High fruits! She attempts to hop up to where the fruits are and bite one off. Nom. 

With her leaf-assisted jumping, she has no trouble hopping as high as the closest one. Biting it off might require a little planning: it's nearly as big as she is, and her mouth doesn't seem to stretch as wide as Tokomon's.

Can she bite part of it off? 

She can knock it around with her face, but it swings back from any attempt to sink her teeth into it.

...

What if she hops up on TOP of the branch, and tries to bite the part of the fruit that's attached to the tree?

This she can do!

The fruit falls to the ground and cracks open, revealing many tiny fruits inside.

!!! MANY TINY FRUITS. Maybe this is why she couldn't properly bite into it before. She hops down to the ground gleefully and starts eating tiny fruits. 

The tiny fruits taste tart and rich and royal and purple, with a feeling of doing an easy job well, secure in the knowledge that your friends are doing theirs too, which makes the whole system go.
