"Shay—!!" A piercing cry shook the air and stirred every heart. A green as vivid as life itself burst from Shaymin, blazing with dazzling light.
Dian slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were filled with resolve. "Jumpluff, give it everything you've got! Hyper Beam!"
Life came as gently as a spring breeze, and passed as brilliantly as summer flowers!
"Jum!" Jumpluff drew a deep breath, its Resolve clear. Then it gathered every ounce of its strength into a beam of White Light and fired straight at the emerald sun before it...
Boom—!!
The emerald sun abruptly contracted, then erupted with Shaymin's unending, crystalline cry. Countless shock waves surged in every direction...
In an instant, the Hyper Beam, Jumpluff's figure, and everything else on the battlefield vanished into the blinding emerald radiance!
"Jumpluff is unable to battle!" The Referee spotted the result at once and raised a hand, face solemn. "Shaymin wins!!"
"Shay—!!" Shaymin appeared high in the sky to the roar of the crowd. Its triumphant gaze went straight to the Trainer below.
"Thanks for everything, Jumpluff." Dian raised a hand and recalled Jumpluff. "You did well."
He paid no attention to the gaze from above. Instead, he took out another Poké Ball and threw it. "Go, Serperior!"
"Another Grass-type Pokémon?!" Brock stared at the magnificent, elegant serpent Pokémon on the field. "Shaymin should be both Grass- and Flying-type now. Grass-type moves should barely hurt it!"
Shouldn't he have sent out Tyranitar for its Rock-type attacks, or Beedrill for its Bug-type attacks?!
"Yingyue's third Pokémon is another Grass-type!!" Takeshi said, his expression tense. "Can he turn this around?!!"
"Shaymin, show your opponent how strong you are now." Tobias swept out his hand. "Air Slash!"
"Shay!" Shaymin nodded. At a thought, a sky-filling barrage of air blades
