High above the Holy Church, the rainbow light of evolution piercing its dome finally began to recede, retreating toward its core like an ebbing tide.
As the light faded, a brand-new figure hovered proudly in the air-Mega Latias!
Her body had become longer and sleeker. Her formerly red body was now covered in rich, regal purple armor, radiating an overwhelming draconic presence that made hearts tremble!
A terrifying aura, far beyond her previous strength and approaching that of a Champion-level Pokémon, erupted outward!
