Watching Sylveon unleash Swift, Qingyu wore an expression that said he had expected as much.
Sylveon's ribbons were part of its body, and it could use them as deftly as hands and feet.
In theory, that meant it could use its ribbons to perform certain moves.
Take the Swift it was using now, for instance. The move worked by firing the energy inside its body in the shape of stars.
All Sylveon had to do was divide its attention and channel that energy into its four ribbons, allowing it to unleash a continuous barrage with incredible efficiency.
Sure, Machamp had four hands and still didn't get a Hand Bond Ability, but not all Pokémon were built the same!
What's wrong with my Sylveon having a Ribbon Bond Ability?
Since Nemona had specifically asked him to show off Sylveon's full strength, Qingyu had decided to give it a little try.
Judging by the results, it worked very well.
Without any training, Eevee couldn't yet split its attention enough to use four different moves at once, but greatly boosting the power of its current Swift was already an excellent result.
Besides...
After evolving, Sylveon's Ability had changed from Anticipation to Pixilate.
With Fairy-type energy filling its body, its Normal-type moves would not only be "dyed" into Fairy-type moves and become easier to use, but also receive a further boost in power.
This was one of those prized type-changing Abilities!
Just as Blue had written in his notes, the difference in an Eevee's strength before and after evolution really could be described as a complete transformation.
All that time spent lying low before evolving was precisely so it could shine its brightest afterward!
"Come back, Pawmot!"
Realizing that Pawmot might not withstand such a dense barrage, Nemona reacted quickly and recalled it
