Not only the audience at the venue, but also countless people watching the match on TV and in the live stream on iQiyi erupted in a burst of excitement after a period of silence.
The comments section of the Edge Cup live stream was covered with "?", while the audience was engaged in lively discussions.
What on earth were those two kinds of evolution just now?
Are they training the same creature called Pokémon as the two people off the field?
"Damn! They can all evolve, huh?!"
"They're all cultivating immortality, while I'm still quietly doing math problems."
"Wait, what's going on with this year's Edge Cup? Legendary Pokémon is one thing, but what's with the two kinds of evolution?"
"Hasn't everyone noticed that the evolved form of Misdreavus should be Mismagius?"
"Garchomp's evolved form is so cool!"
Lei Ye, the host atop the Charizard's back, was at a loss for words; this was something beyond his comprehension.
"Um... now we see... I... um... okay, that's it, let's enjoy this battle together."
Lei Ye originally thought that his commentary on the scene where the Annihilape defeated two Legendary Pokémon was the best moment of his hosting career, but now it seems that he spoke too soon.
After evolving into Flutter Mane, Misdreavus's speed is similar to that of Annihilape after receiving five speed boosts, allowing it to circle the entire field.
It was so fast that it even created the effect of creating Double Team, leaving afterimages of the Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) everywhere on the field.
Mega Garchomp tried to give chase, but found that it could only catch up with afterimages and couldn't catch up with Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) at all.
Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) is far faster than Mega Garchomp, not to mention that Mega Garchomp's Speed drops by 10 points after evolving. (Emphasis)
Looking at the Mega Garchomp in the Arena, which seemed quite clumsy compared to Misdreavus (Flutter Mane),...
Damaranch asked Agatha, who was sitting next to him, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Agatha, why do I feel like Cade's Garchomp is slower after Mega Evolution than before?"
Agatha nodded, indicating that she had also noticed this; it seemed that the improvements brought about by Mega Evolution were not necessarily comprehensive.
However, Roy's Misdreavus evolved at a speed that was unheard of and Pokémon by anyone at the early Elite Four level.
This level of speed would be enough to put up a fight even against a mid-level Elite Four.
Cade didn't have time to ponder why the evolved Misdreavus was so fast, because what happened next shocked him even more.
He finally managed to guide Mega Garchomp to use its Dragon Tail to predict the trajectory of Flutter Mane.
Just as Garchomp's shark tail with its Dragon Tail appendage was about to strike Flutter Mane, Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) did not dodge at all, letting the Dragon Tail swing onto its body.
Hit!
The Mega Garchomp's Dragon Tail Infiltrator right through the Flutter Mane's body, without causing any damage.
Ah?
That's not right!!!
Even if the damage is reduced by half in the Misty Terrain, it's impossible for there to be absolutely no damage, right?
After much thought, an answer emerged in Cade's mind that he least wanted to believe.
Drake and Agatha on the judging panel also noticed something amiss from Garchomp's ineffective Dragon Tail.
The three of them shared the same idea.
It's Fairy type!!!!
Cade immediately thought of the natural enemies of Dragon-type Pokémon.
Roy's Misdreavus somehow evolved and gained the Fairy type!
Garchomp trying to shoot a bird???
No!
I am the only man truly worthy of the Dragon God's blessing!
We definitely can't just give up like this!
Unwilling to give up Cade immediately gave the order:
"Garchomp, use Earth Power!"
The yellowish-brown energy wave was about to hit Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) again, but Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) didn't dodge at all, just like it had when facing the Dragon Tail.
A bad feeling welled up in Cade's mind.
The Earth Power struck the Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) precisely, but just like before, it passed right through without causing any damage.
The current Misdreavus with the Levitate Ability (Flutter Mane) is immune to four types of damage.
Roy glanced at Garchomp's moveset and saw that only Bite, Flamethrower, Blast Burn, Metal Claw, and Power Gem were capable of dealing damage.
In the subsequent battle, facing Garchomp's non-damaging move, Misdreavus (Flutter Mane), directly charged in and let Garchomp deal the damage.
However, when Garchomp used its Metal Claw and the two scythes in its hands glowed with a Metallic Color light, Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) simply dodged away, not even bothering to make contact with Mega Garchomp.
Since the opponent can't catch me anyway, I can outrun them, so why bother fighting them?
At this point, the audience also realized that the evolved Misdreavus was completely toying with Cade's Mega Garchomp.
"Garchomp, use Flamethrower."
Cade spoke those words almost through gritted teeth.
Mega Garchomp Spit Up raging flames, its target Misdreavus.
When Mega Garchomp Flamethrower, Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) flew into the air again, and Garchomp couldn't even aim at the Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) that left afterimages in the air.
It seems that the Flamethrower does cause damage; otherwise, that Misdreavus wouldn't have been able to dodge it.
Knowing that Fire type moves damage Misdreavus (Flutter Mane), Cade commanded Garchomp:
"Garchomp, unleash Blast Burn!"
Cade's idea was to use a series of Blast Burn block the movement of the Misdreavus (Flutter Mane), allowing subsequent skills to hit the opponent.
Mega Garchomp condensed a large flame in its mouth, but before it could Spit Up it, it found Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) standing in front of it.
Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) directly used Blast Burn Garchomp, which was about to unleash a Dazzling Gleam.
The pink energy blocked Garchomp's Blast Burn from its mouth.
Fire type energy and Pink Fairy-type Energy exploded simultaneously on Mega Garchomp's body, and Mega Garchomp felt as if its body was about to explode along with these two energies.
It exploded... it blew up?
The Mega Garchomp, blasted apart by Dazzling Gleam, is no longer the unruly creature it was when it first appeared.
After using the Dazzling Gleam, the Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) wasn't finished. Immediately afterward, a pink kiss condensed on the red orb in front of Flutter Mane — the Draining Kiss.
Both being Fairy type moves, Kiss landed directly on Mega Garchomp's carotid artery, causing Mega Garchomp to show signs of pain.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Roy commanded the Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) below:
"Misdreavus, take care of him."
"Dream!"
