On the screen, Drew's Roselia had already begun its performance.
It leaped into the air and used Petal Dance, scattering petals across the sky. The petals swirled freely in midair, but that was not all. As Roselia spun, it used Stun Spore, spraying it into the air, then followed up with Magical Leaf. Using these moves in succession created a combined effect.
