Chapter 201: Mega Gardevoir vs. Bellossom
"Sha-nuo!!! —"
Mega Gardevoir let out a soft cry, placing her hands over her chest. In the next moment, a pale pink mist began to rise from the battlefield floor.
Misty Terrain!!
For five turns, no Pokémon on the ground could be afflicted with status conditions, and the power of Dragon-type moves was halved.
While setting up the Misty Terrain, Mega Gardevoir simultaneously used Double Team.
In an instant, over a dozen copies of Mega Gardevoir appeared in the thickening mist. Under the cover of the fog, it became nearly impossible to distinguish the real one from the illusions.
Furthermore, Misty Terrain had a secondary effect in this context: the mist partially obscured the sunlight, reducing its intensity.
This directly impacted the efficiency at which Bellossom could absorb solar energy.
Kenji scanned the field. If I can't tell which one is real, then I just won't bother trying.
"Bellossom! Petal Quiver Dance!!!"
"Li!!! —"
Hearing the command, Bellossom began to dance once again.
This time, she modified the base Quiver Dance.
As she twirled, countless flower petals began to materialize around her, filling the air.
Petal Dance!! Scatters petals to attack the opponent.
Normally, after using Petal Dance, the user becomes confused due to fatigue.
However, standing on Misty Terrain, the confusion status effect was instantly nullified.
And even without Misty Terrain, under the Sunny Day, Bellossom's Healer ability could cure most status conditions, including confusion.
Unless it was a unique trap like Shadow Tag or Destiny Bond, she was safe.
Petal Quiver Dance—a combo of Petal Dance and Quiver Dance. It allowed her to attack while slowly boosting her stats.
Since both moves involved dancing, they conflicted slightly. To ensure the destructive power of Petal Dance, she had to sacrifice some of the boosting speed of Quiver Dance.
Although she was still gaining stats, the rate was significantly slower than a pure Quiver Dance.
As Bellossom danced, the petals multiplied rapidly. In moments, a storm of beautiful, deadly petals formed a tornado in the center of the arena.
Bellossom was the eye of the storm. The petal tornado moved in perfect sync with her every motion.
With a flick of her wrist, countless petals shot out like throwing knives, slashing toward the army of Mega Gardevoir clones.
POP POP POP!!! —
In the blink of an eye, nearly every clone was shredded into nothingness.
BOOM!!! —
From one specific direction, Mystical Fire erupted, transforming into several flaming serpents that clashed against the petal storm.
Found her. Mega Gardevoir was right there.
Target locked. Bellossom redirected the entire storm of petals, sending them crashing down on Mega Gardevoir like a tidal wave.
Mega Gardevoir's Mystical Fire was strong, but it wasn't a STAB move. It couldn't hold back a Petal Dance from a Bellossom who had already stacked two Quiver Dances.
The flames were snuffed out almost instantly, and the petals swarmed forward to engulf her.
"Sha-nuo!!! —"
Facing the incoming petal tsunami, Mega Gardevoir opened her mouth and simply uttered a single syllable.
Instantly, fueled by Fairy-type energy from her ability, that single sound wave amplified into a terrifying sonic blast that crashed into the petal storm.
SCREECH!!!
Countless petals were shattered into dust by the sonic impact.
Hyper Voice!!
Effect: Attacks the opponent with loud, jarring sound waves.
Normally a Normal-type move, under Mega Gardevoir's Pixilate ability, it became a Fairy-type move.
With the STAB boost and the ability boost, its power was immense.
However, even with these buffs, Mega Gardevoir was facing a Bellossom who out-leveled her significantly. The Hyper Voice shattered the front wave of petals, but it was like throwing a cup of water on a bonfire.
Endless waves of petals were closing in from all directions.
Mega Gardevoir had no choice. She used Teleport again, vanishing from the spot.
"Sha-nuo!!! —"
She reappeared on the other side of the arena. With a wave of her hands, a freezing wind swept across the field.
Icy Wind.
As the cold air hit the petals, they froze and became brittle.
Then, Mega Gardevoir used Hyper Voice again.
This time, aided by the brittleness caused by Icy Wind, the sonic blast shattered far more petals.
Mega Gardevoir fought a retreating battle, relying on the mobility of Teleport to dodge Bellossom's relentless assault.
But constantly using Teleport and high-power moves took a toll. Beads of sweat began to form on Xie Mu's forehead.
Maintaining Mega Evolution was already exhausting. Now, sustaining such a high-frequency, high-intensity battle...
If Xie Mu hadn't been using his own special ability to shoulder some of Mega Gardevoir's burden, her stamina would have bottomed out long ago.
Unlike the rapidly draining Mega Gardevoir, Bellossom showed no signs of fatigue. Both Solar Beam and Petal Dance were stamina-heavy moves, yet her assault hadn't slowed down for a second.
If one could see through the petal storm, they would be shocked to find Bellossom's face completely relaxed. She didn't look like she was fighting for her life; she looked like she was lost in the joy of the dance.
Any stamina she used was instantly replenished by the sunlight via Synthesis and her items.
Not to mention, Petal Quiver Dance was still slowly boosting her stats.
The pressure on Mega Gardevoir grew heavier by the second.
If this continued, she would collapse from exhaustion within a minute.
Xie Mu absolutely refused to let Mega Gardevoir lose like that.
Gritting his teeth, Xie Mu made a final decision.
A look of resolve flashed in Mega Gardevoir's eyes.
As the final command was transmitted via telepathy, Mega Gardevoir vanished.
Both Kenji and the audience were used to her Teleport by now.
But this time, when she reappeared, everyone gasped.
Instead of retreating to a safe distance, Mega Gardevoir warped directly next to Bellossom, right inside the eye of the storm!
She brought her hands together in front of her chest, gathering every ounce of her remaining energy into a devastating, pale pink beam.
A Hyper Beam turned Fairy-type by Pixilate!!!
BOOM!!! —
Massive Fairy energy erupted at point-blank range. This Hyper Beam drained the very last drop of Mega Gardevoir's stamina.
THUD!! —
BANG BANG BANG!! —
The petals were instantly annihilated by the sheer force of the blast.
The beam pierced through the tornado, aiming straight for Bellossom's tiny body.
But inside the eye of the storm, Bellossom reacted the instant the beam fired. She curled her small body into a ball.
Petal Quiver Dance: Guardian!
Following her dance movements, the petal tornado that had been raging across the field suddenly contracted. It collapsed inward, forming a tight, dense cocoon of petals around Bellossom.
The pink Fairy energy exploded against the petal shield. The impact shattered the petals, transforming them into a rain of pink confetti that drifted down over the arena, adding a bizarrely romantic touch to the violent clash.
