Although the birds' dance seemed to have taken a long time, only a few short minutes had actually passed.
Once enough power had gathered in the clouds, a different change finally appeared in the sky.
What kind of sight was it?
Countless particles of water, lightning, and fire broke apart, reformed, and gathered together again, pouring rapidly downward like a pillar of light!
The pillar was at least several dozen meters across. It shone with incomparable brilliance, as bright as the sun against the pitch-black night sky!
Outside Greenfield Town's Pokémon Center, Professor Oak and the others stared at the distant sight in shock.
The reporter rubbed her eyes and murmured, "What is that?! A waterfall in the clouds?!"
"That isn't a waterfall!" Professor Oak offered a professional explanation. "It should be a visual effect formed when energies such as lightning, fire, and frost break apart and mix together again, refracting the light. Those energies are falling from high in the sky because of gravity, which is why it looks like a waterfall flowing downward!"
He certainly lived up to his reputation as the world's most famous Pokémon Professor. After watching for only a brief moment, he had already analyzed the composition and principles behind the three birds' combined attack.
"Break apart? Mix together?" The reporter knew little about battling and hurriedly asked, "Is this a form of attack? I've never heard of it before. It must be very difficult to pull off, right?"
Professor Oak nodded.
"Of course. You must understand, this isn't simply a matter of coordinating moves. It's a qualitative transformation that changes the energy itself! The fusion process is extremely dangerous. The slightest mistake could trigger an explosion, so the users must control their power with extreme care. This places exceptionally strict demands on their abilities
