[Holy shit, Lao Shui still isn't sending out Latias? He's got some nerve!]
[Meowscarada against Wallace's mainstay Ludicolo? Seriously?]
[Well, with Mega Latias backing him up, he has so much room for error!]
[Does he really? Isn't Mega Latias only Champion-level?]
["Only Champion-level"? Who the hell are you to say "only"?]
[Why are you picking a fight? I mean she can't steamroll Wallace's mainstay at that level. She's not Ogerpon.]
[Stop arguing. Let's all get along and flame Lao Shui together until he sends out Latias!]
[No, I'm rooting for Meowha!]
[An overwhelming power gap, plus rain and Tailwind. I can't see how she wins.]
The uproar in the comments wasn't without reason.
Xia Chi knew that perfectly well. Even he thought winning would be incredibly difficult.
Although she had just equipped a divine item, [Death's Dance], the gap in strength remained a vast chasm.
Meowha had struggled terribly against Norman's Elite Four-level Slaking, let alone the Champion-level Ludicolo before her.
Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained. With this rare opportunity to challenge a truly Champion-level Pokémon, Xia Chi wanted to give it a shot.
And judging by the astonishing fighting spirit blazing in Meowscarada's crimson eyes, so did she!
Xia Chi raised the brilliant Tera Orb in his hand, then threw it toward Meowha.
Light blazed as torrents of energy from all eighteen types surged together, condensing around Meowscarada into crystalline armor that shimmered with starlight!
Meowha completed her exceptionally unusual Stellarization!
Four months had passed, and Terastallization was no longer a novelty, but Stellarization still ranked dead last in usage.
That wasn't just because the Stellar Tera Shards essential to it were rare and expensive.
Countless Trainers had tried it, only to discover that it was nowhere near as devastating as Meowscarada's original "seller's showcase" had made it look.
