"I actually lost..." Kiawe crouched in a corner, disbelief written all over his face.
"Ah, life is full of ups and downs and downs and downs and downs..." Sophocles patted Kiawe's shoulder, grinning happily.
Good thing I wasn't the one who challenged him~
On the battlefield, Gary had already backed Ilima into a corner. In this battle between Eevee, Gary's Eevee-chan was clearly a cut above the other.
Eevee-chan: (〝▼皿▼) Hand over your Z-Crystal!
Ilima's Eevee: ⊙﹏⊙∥ Stay away from me...
"In that case, Eevee, let's use that move." Ilima's expression turned serious.
Ilima's Eevee, who had been sent flying by a Shadow Ball from Gary's Eevee-chan, shakily stood back up.
"Now, transcend the sky and earth, and lend me your power! Extreme Evoboost!" Ilima crossed his arms, and the Z-Ring on his wrist flashed with rainbow light.
Eight spectral Eevee evolutions appeared behind Eevee: Water, Fire, Electric, Sun, Moon, Ice, Grass, and Fairy.
Nine-colored radiance converged on one body. Ilima's Eevee's aura kept rising, its body blazing with dazzling, rainbow-colored flames!
"Looks like we'll have to show some real skill too!" Gary extended his right hand, emerald light burning and rising from it.
Bzzz~ Dense Viridian Force enveloped Eevee-chan, whose level began rising in leaps and bounds.
Boosting a Pokémon's level with Viridian Force could allow it to unleash million-volt super moves. This was something Young Master Mao had only recently learned.
"Go! Our final Last Resort!" Ilima unleashed his strongest strike.
Empowered by a rainbow combining nine kinds of power, Eevee's stats rose across the board! As its final trump card, Last Resort erupted in gorgeous radiance, blasting toward Gary's Eevee-chan!
"Return!" Gary's Eevee-chan unleashed a full-power Return. Bolstered by Viridian Force, an azure wave of energy roared forth, changing the very colors of heaven and earth!
Boom!!
