Fighting for Favor

Vivillon rapidly condensed energy, and in the blink of an eye, four yellow-green energy beams were fired towards Chimecho.

The four Signal Beams from Vivillon were not thick, but they appeared highly penetrating. Yuga suspected that if Chimecho were hit by one, it might pierce through.

However, in the face of Vivillon's Signal Beams, Chimecho didn't dodge or evade; it simply floated in the air calmly.

Its eyes emitted a purple glow, and in an instant, translucent Light Screens appeared in front of it, shimmering like sunlight reflecting off a serene lake.

Chimecho's movement speed was actually not slow, but it had a habit of relying on its defensive moves to withstand the opponent's attacks rather than dodging.

When it came to defense, Chimecho was always the strongest among Yuga's Pokémon, surpassing both Torterra and Venusaur.

Torterra and Venusaur relied on their physical attributes, recovery moves, and skill interferences for defense, whereas Chimecho solely depended on its defensive moves.

So far, Yuga had not encountered a Pokémon of the same level whose attacking power could break through Chimecho's Light Screen and Reflect.

The four Signal Beams buzzed as they collided with Chimecho's Light Screen, resembling calm waters disturbed by four large stones, creating ripples that spread and collided with each other.

Sensing the drastic changes in the Light Screen, Chimecho's expression changed.

It was well aware of its own defensive capmoves, especially after its recent promotion, which had further enhanced its defense.

It was confident that its Light Screen was impenetrable among Pokémon of the same level. However, now, under the four Signal Beams from Vivillon, there seemed to be a faint trend of collapse.

Recalling Yuga's previous words, Chimecho finally began to take Vivillon more seriously and stopped being so casual about it.

Regardless, Vivillon's Signal Beams were still unable to breach Chimecho's defense.

Since its previous knowledge, Vivillon had known that Chimecho's shell was tough, but it hadn't expected it to be this resilient. Even with its full-force attack, it couldn't break through that transparent wall.

It was different now compared to before!

The energy of the Signal Beams and the Light Screen dissipated simultaneously in the air. Vivillon's wings rapidly fluttered, taking it into the high sky, where it performed a mysterious yet beautiful dance.

Vivillon's plan was simple; since the regular Signal Beams couldn't penetrate Chimecho's shell, it was time to unleash an enhanced version.

Yuga had experimented with this before. In its full stack state, Vivillon's attacking power reached terrifying levels. However, in battle, it was easy for Vivillon to get disturbed, making it challenging to reach its full stack of enhancement.

If Yuga had the source of flight, this process would become much simpler.

As expected, Chimecho was well aware of Vivillon's fighting habits and, upon seeing Vivillon use Quiver Dance, employed a disruptive move, Uproar.

The ear-piercing noise was relentless and felt like it could rupture eardrums. Inside the battle, Vivillon was even more affected.

Uproar was not just a simple disruption move; it was a genuine attack move!

While dealing with the annoying noise, Vivillon continued to use Quiver Dance, but it wasn't as easy as before. Vivillon used Quiver Dance, but it couldn't even stack up to five layers.

Nevertheless, Vivillon didn't hesitate. The four Signal Beams condensed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they were fired at Chimecho again.

The previous scene repeated, but the Signal Beams still couldn't break through the Light Screen.

Seeing the Light Screen on the verge of collapse, Chimecho made a firm decision; it couldn't allow Vivillon to fully stack up Quiver Dance, or it would lose face.

Looking at the seemingly intact Light Screen, Vivillon felt somewhat regretful. It seemed that four layers of Quiver Dance wouldn't suffice; it had to reach six.

Vivillon had a premonition that if it could stack up six layers of Quiver Dance, Chimecho's shell wouldn't be able to withstand its Signal Beams.

With this in mind, Vivillon began its graceful dance once more.

"Why should I let you succeed? I'll show you my true moves!" Filled with fighting spirit, Chimecho!

So, in Yuga's perception, the psychic energy around Chimecho started to boil, and it appeared as if purple flames were burning on its body, both beautiful and dangerous!

This is... Psycho Boost!

At a glance, Yuga recognized the move Chimecho was using—Psycho Boost, an exclusive move derived from the Energy Core of Deoxys.

The slender and petite Chimecho transformed into a sharp beam of light, soaring straight towards the dancing Vivillon.

Compared to Vivillon's Signal Beams, Chimecho's Psycho Boost seemed more oppressive.

Within the dancing Quiver Dance, Vivillon felt a sudden sense of apprehension and instinctively turned its attention to Chimecho.

Seeing Chimecho charging at it, Vivillon immediately ceased its Quiver Dance. It didn't know why, but its instincts told it that it had to defend against Chimecho's move.

A violent white whirlwind, controlled by Vivillon, was unleashed! It hoped that this Hurricane could block Chimecho's attack.

However, Chimecho, in the form of a sharp arrow, directly pierced through Vivillon's Hurricane, then continued its straight path towards Vivillon.

The speed was too fast, and Vivillon couldn't react in time. It was hit head-on.

Bang!

Chimecho exploded with intense purple flames, and Vivillon let out a miserable cry. It fell to the ground like a crashing helicopter, emitting black smoke.

"Vivillon..."

In pain, Vivillon hung its wings and tried to get up by supporting itself on its hands, but it stumbled and fell again. The Hurricane it had unleashed also dispersed due to losing Vivillon's control.

It looked up at Chimecho in the sky, its eyes accusing: "You went too far! You actually struck so hard! Are we still good sisters?"

If it hadn't been for the brief interruption caused by the whirlwind, Vivillon would have lost consciousness by now.

Vivillon lay on the ground, its wings emitting a milky-white glow, enveloping its body, resembling a cocoon of light.

This was a Flying-type recovery move - Roost!

Seeing that Vivillon was trying to recover, Chimecho immediately thought of delivering the final blow. A colored beam formed from its strong mental power shot towards the cocoon below.

But did Vivillon have no anticipation for this?

Just as Chimecho's Psychic was about to hit the cocoon, a buzzing insect-like noise erupted from around the cocoon.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

It sounded as if countless insects were rapidly fluttering their wings, causing the air to vibrate. Chimecho's Psychic was instantly dispersed.

Seeing this scene, Chimecho was astonished!

Since when did Vivillon have this move?!

With a testing mindset, Chimecho attempted another Psychic attack, but it was once again dispelled as it neared the cocoon.

Realizing that its Psychic attacks were ineffective, Chimecho prepared to launch a bigger one. However, at that moment, the cocoon cracked open.

Two pairs of white wings extended from the cocoon, gently fluttered twice, and then the white light dissipated, revealing Vivillon's beautiful butterfly wings inside.

Emerging from the cocoon, Vivillon had regained its vitality, appearing like a fairy with a radiant aura all over its body!

As Vivillon emerged from the cocoon, it didn't stop the insect-like noise. The ripples created by the noise seemed to bestow Vivillon with a halo of enchantment.

Isn't this too beautiful? Did you secretly use a beauty filter on yourself?

Chimecho stared in disbelief!

Realizing that it had been enchanted by its little sister, Chimecho was furious! How could it be so unreliable? Its limelight had been stolen by Vivillon!

In its anger, Chimecho's aura suddenly changed. Vivillon, who was slowly ascending in the air, suddenly felt an unusually heavy body, and it began to plummet uncontrollably!

No, I don't want to be a fallen fairy!

Vivillon frantically flapped its wings, trying to fly back into the air, but its body became increasingly heavy. Finally, with a thud, it fell face down on the ground!

Face-down, Vivillon's four wings were also pressed against the ground. It struggled to flap its wings, but apart from kicking up sand, it couldn't achieve anything.

Just a moment ago, both Yuga and Chimecho were admiring the beauty of Vivillon. But now, both of them were dumbfounded!

This is it!

This is the little fairy?

After realizing that it unintentionally activated a gravity ability, Chimecho finally understood why Vivillon had fallen!

"Chimecho... Chimecho..."

Hahaha... hahaha...

Chimecho burst into laughter, twisting in the air, almost rolling on the ground!

It's too funny! Way too funny!

Seeing Chimecho, who had been laughing in the sky, Vivillon was considering whether to really break up their friendship!

Maybe the two sisters in the flower field weren't that bad!

After struggling a few times and realizing that it was impossible to escape Chimecho's gravity, Vivillon gave up.

If Vivillon had the robust physique of a Pokémon like Dragonite, there might have been a chance to break free. But in terms of physical strength, Vivillon was indeed lacking.

Compared to before, Chimecho's gravity ability had become even stronger.

The strength of the gravity ability depended on the user's mental power, and Chimecho had inherited half of the energy core from Deoxys, so its mental power was exceptionally strong.

With guidance from Deoxys, Chimecho had fully incorporated that half of the energy core into itself. Otherwise, it wouldn't have reached the purple potential.

Chimecho flew over to Vivillon and proudly said, "How about that? Am I really amazing now?"

"Yes, yes, you're amazing! Much more amazing than me. Now, please release the gravity, okay?" Vivillon responded helplessly.

Compared to Chimecho, who still had a childlike mentality, Vivillon, who had already marriage and settled down in life, was much more mature and didn't pay much attention to Chimecho's attempts to gain favor.

Hearing Vivillon admit defeat, Chimecho happily lifted the gravity, and Vivillon instantly felt a lot lighter, able to breathe freely again.

"Chimecho... Chimecho... Chimecho..."

Yuga! How was that? I told you I've become really powerful, right?

"It's truly impressive! Congratulations!" Yuga genuinely praised.

Being able to instantly subdue Vivillon with gravity meant that those Pokémon with weaker physical attributes were no match for Chimecho. It was indeed a bit excessive, but the guidance from Deoxys during this period had not been in vain.

Getting Yuga's praise, Chimecho instantly felt satisfied!

Vivillon looked at the innocent Chimecho and shook its head with a helpless smile. "You're still just a child!"

"Did I have to endure a beating for this? I was even rubbed on the ground! That was real friction!"

The more Vivillon thought about it, the more bitter it felt!
