Seeing signs that the light of evolution around Ivysaur was weakening, Venusaur knew Ivysaur could not succeed.
Although Venusaur admired Ivysaur's courage and determination in daring to break through that barrier, none of that could make up for the offense of disrupting the evolution ceremony.
If Ivysaur succeeded in evolving, that would be fine. Mega Venusaur could do things Venusaur could not, and the evolution ceremony could be carried out even better.
But since Ivysaur had failed, all of that amounted to empty talk.
Just as Venusaur was about to subdue the young Venusaur that had just "evolved," the light of evolution around Ivysaur suddenly grew even brighter.
This time, Ivysaur's outline began to grow larger than Venusaur's. The flower on its back grew a little taller, two small palm trees sprouted, four more enormous leaves appeared, and a pink flower bloomed on its head.
The light of evolution faded, and Ivysaur successfully completed two successive evolutions, first evolving into Venusaur, then immediately evolving into Mega Venusaur.
Mega Venusaur was even larger than Venusaur, much like the difference between Venusaur and Ivysaur.
Although Venusaur did not know what had happened at the end, the fact remained that this unknown Ivysaur had actually crossed that barrier and completed Mega Evolution.
The Venusaur that had presided over the Bulbasaur's evolution from its lofty position lowered its head to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Mega Venusaur.
Even among Mega Venusaur, there were differences. The Mega Evolution of a Venusaur that could command the power of nature was different from that of one that could not.
A Venusaur that commanded the power of nature was king among Ivysaur and Bulbasaur, and could put up a fight against a Mega Venusaur that did not command that power.
If a Mega Venusaur commanded the power of nature, then it
