Noivern, who had just been knocked flying, climbed off the ground and took to the sky again. A high-frequency Supersonic began slipping unnoticed from his enormous ears.
When Noivern used this move, its high-frequency sound waves resembled the rings of energy shown in game animations. In reality, however, sound waves were colorless and odorless, undetectable by either the naked eye or the nose.
