Chapter 218: Magearna’s Floral Bloom

Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Magearna’s Floral Bloom

"Then let’s raise it another level."

Sora knew Cynthia was strong, and he had never underestimated her Garchomp.

The advantages of Legendary Pokémon were immense, but ordinary Pokémon could still reach the absolute pinnacle.

"Mana~"

Thus, as their Aura connection was established, Magearna’s body suddenly erupted with dazzling rainbow-colored light.

"This is?!"

Not only Cynthia, but even Korrina was seeing this transformation for the first time.

Evolution—and not just any evolution, but the unique Mega Evolution of the Kalos region!

"Magearna can Mega Evolve too?!"

As the light faded, Mega Magearna appeared before everyone’s eyes.

In the blink of an eye, she had transformed from a gentle maid into a Valkyrie of the battlefield.

Her aura was more violent, her fighting style more ferocious and aggressive.

"Mana!"

Level-84 Magearna, with the aid of Mega Evolution, forcibly crossed the gulf separating her from Garchomp.

Could she rival a level-90 Pokémon?

Not quite.

But the gap between them had become negligible.

Dark-red clouds of energy coiled around Magearna as she entered her Demonic Form as well.

For a moment, violent winds howled.

Scarlet lightning flickered within the dark clouds.

The entire lakeside seemed to tremble beneath the collision of the auras released by two Pokémon approaching the demigod realm.

"Outrage!"

Cynthia’s expression turned solemn.

"Concentrate all your power into a single point and use Dragon God Meteor!"

Dragon God Meteor was an entirely new technique developed by fusing Draco Meteor and Dragon Rush.

"BOOM!!"

Garchomp suddenly shot into the sky.

Her speed was so great that the naked eye could barely follow her.

Even Magearna’s electronic vision was reduced to a series of afterimages, making it difficult to track Garchomp’s movements.

"Boom!"

The clouds were torn apart, revealing the sky beyond.

And beneath that light, a shadow descended like a meteor, crashing downward at a speed beyond Magearna’s reaction time.

"So fast!"

Korrina’s pupils contracted.

Garchomp wasn’t even targeting her, and the two were separated by a considerable distance.

Yet the girl felt as though she had been targeted by a primordial beast.

She was locked on.

Not just her.

Emma, Sora, and even Cynthia herself.

Every existence that entered Garchomp’s field of vision became a target.

That terrifying speed meant that once Garchomp decided upon her target, no matter where they were or how far away they stood, she would arrive in an instant and tear them apart.

This was Dragon God Meteor, developed by Cynthia after receiving Sora’s Divine Techniques.

"Bloom."

Yet Sora’s response was remarkably calm.

He simply issued a single command.

At the same time, his Aura transmitted that command directly into Mega Magearna’s heart.

"Mana~~"

She didn’t dodge.

Nor did she attempt to defend herself.

Magearna merely bent her body slightly, curling up like a flower bud.

Then red, blue, white, brown, green...

Energy of various types transformed into petals, completely enveloping her body.

The entire process happened incredibly quickly.

There was no sluggishness from gathering or converting energy.

"???"

Cynthia had never seen such a technique.

So many different types of energy. Why...?

No.

Magearna wasn’t gathering them temporarily.

She was simply releasing and controlling the elemental energy already stored within her body.

She skipped the process of gathering and converting energy entirely, making the subsequent manipulation incredibly easy.

"Shark?"

Garchomp clearly noticed the multicolored flower bud.

But before she could hesitate, Cynthia’s voice came firmly through.

"There’s nothing to hesitate about. Go!"

"SHAAARK!!!"

What else was there to say?

Her Trainer had given the order.

For the sake of the Cynthia she loved most, Garchomp’s eyes became savage and razor-sharp.

"WHOOSH!!!"

At that very moment, the multicolored flower surrounding Magearna truly bloomed.

Psychic, Steel, Normal, Rock, Electric, Ice, Fighting, Fairy...

The traits and power of countless types ultimately transformed into the power of Magearna’s Soul-Heart.

"BOOOOM!!!"

As the two attacks collided, astonishing energy erupted outward in every direction.

The lakeside shattered.

The earth split apart.

Even the sky seemed to cave upward like a vast ocean being forced apart, leaving Korrina and Emma staring in horror.

"Huff... huff..."

Cynthia’s body trembled slightly.

The strain brought about by her Demonic Form had left her mentally exhausted.

Sora was in much the same condition.

And when the energy finally subsided, Garchomp and Mega Magearna were still standing in confrontation within the smoke.

But unlike Magearna, who remained relatively composed, Garchomp was covered in noticeably more injuries.

Her wounds were already beginning to heal.

Magearna, however, showed no intention of giving her any opportunity to recover.

Thus, Magearna’s advantage began to emerge.

Garchomp had attacked too fiercely earlier, consuming far too much energy.

Although the quality of her energy remained superior to Magearna’s, she was now being suppressed.

One pre-prepared technique after another was fired from Magearna.

Ice.

More ice.

And, damn it, even more ice.

Magearna relentlessly targeted Garchomp’s weakness, hammering her without giving her the slightest chance to breathe.

After three minutes of continuous bombardment, Garchomp finally reached her limit.

"That’s enough. Come back, Garchomp!"

Seeing this, Cynthia made the correct decision and immediately recalled her from the battlefield.

And that meant that Garchomp had lost this spar.

"I lost, Sora."

Cynthia had already acknowledged Sora long ago.

There was nothing to complain about after losing to him.

Still, she couldn’t help feeling unwilling to accept the defeat.

"If your Garchomp could master Mega Evolution, the outcome might have been different."

Sora was simply stating a fact.

Magearna had won because of her preparations beforehand and the massive boost from Mega Evolution, which had erased the level difference between them.

Of course, Magearna would continue to grow as well.

Once she reached level 90, her overall strength would rise to an entirely new height.

If they fought again then, even if Garchomp could Mega Evolve, she would probably still find it extremely difficult to defeat Magearna.

You’ll become stronger.

So will I.

Sora would never remain stagnant.

Nor would he allow Magearna and his other Pokémon to sit around waiting for others to catch up.
