When they saw Seiya burst out of the sandstorm and suddenly split into eight figures, many of those witnessing the scene initially thought he had used Double Team.
But no sooner had that thought surfaced than the people who believed it were left stunned and slack-jawed by what happened next.
Seiya, whose figure had split into eight, had actually transformed into eight different forms of Eevee, and each one had completed Mega Evolution!
The move Double Team could indeed create multiple figures, but those shadows were merely empty illusions with no combat ability whatsoever.
Moreover, as its name implied, Double Team created shadows identical to the user in order to confuse the enemy.
Yet Seiya, who had split into eight, had created shadows that were completely different from his original body. They could even each undergo Mega Evolution...
No, this wasn't Double Team at all. It was more like the "division" of the alien Pokémon Deoxys.
The Sinnoh Trio were clearly taken aback when they saw Seiya split into eight on the spot, but that alone was obviously not enough to frighten them off.
Palkia's Spacial Rend, Dialga's Roar of Time, and Giratina's Earth Power were unleashed as the Sinnoh Trio each used their strongest moves.
The eight Eevee forms on Seiya's side likewise unleashed powerful moves of their respective types in response!
Flareon—Flamethrower!
Vaporeon—Hydro Pump!
Jolteon—Thunderbolt!
Leafeon—Solar Beam!
Umbreon—Moonblast!
Glaceon—Ice Beam!
Espeon—Dazzling Gleam!
Sylveon—Fairy Wind!
The instant the combined attack of the eight Eevee types collided with the Sinnoh Trio's joint assault, an enormous wave of energy instantly swept across the entirety of Desert City.
As the two massive energies clashed, a gigantic sphere nearly a hundred meters in diameter began forming between them, causing the surrounding time and space to gradually collapse and descend into chaos.
Spiderweb-like cracks
