"That's... Mega Evolution!?"
At Miss Roxanne's soft exclamation, Professor Oak and Professor Carolina immediately looked intrigued in the stands. Professor Oak said with a smile,
"I thought we wouldn't see this power in this round. It seems facing Yong and Metagross has really put Pheobe under pressure!"
Not far away, Ash and Gary's eyes shone.
"That's amazing! That light..."
"Is this the evolution Grandpa mentioned? I think Big Brother Yong was the one who discovered it!"
"Someday, I'll have that power too!"
Ash shouted with a broad smile, his face full of longing.
Beside him, Gary glanced at him. For once, he didn't argue, but smiled slightly instead.
"So will I!"
Both boys made their wish to grow stronger there, looking forward even more eagerly to the day they would set out on their journeys.
On the battlefield, dazzling rainbow light poured into Sableye's body, making it shine brighter and brighter!
The rainbow chains turned into starlike motes of light. As they flickered, a huge Rainbow-colored Diamond Pattern appeared in midair, then sank into Sableye's body!
A moment later, the light faded, revealing a Sableye clutching an enormous red gemstone.
Mega Sableye!
The enormous gemstone in its arms had formed from the ruby on Sableye's chest, enlarged by the surge of energy from Mega Evolution.
It could block damage and even serve as food for Mega Sableye, restoring its stamina. The moment the red gemstone disappeared was also the moment Mega Sableye reverted from its Mega-Evolved form.
Mega Sableye!
Notably, Mega Sableye's ability had also changed from Prankster to Magic Bounce!
Magic Bounce: Prevented the effects of an opponent's status moves and reflected them back...
In other words, any status move was useless against Mega Sableye, and it could even reflect the negative effects of its opponent's status moves back
