At Yuga's command, the three Pokémon took their positions on opposite sides of the battle arena: Bellossom and Roserade on one side, and Vivillon on the other.
The first to act were Bellossom and Roserade.
Roserade emitted a green light that quickly transformed the battlefield into lush, grassy field. Meanwhile, Bellossom began to use Quiver Dance and dance gracefully on the Grassy Terrain.
Vivillon appeared quite relaxed as it observed the actions of the two starting Pokémon. However, Yuga noticed miniature whirlwinds gathering on Vivillon's wings.
Just as Roserade prepared to launch an attack on Vivillon, Vivillon's assault was already upon it.
Several giant blades formed from the Gust movd sliced through the air, heading straight for Roserade and Bellossom.
While Bellossom's dance didn't hinder its mobility or evasion, allowing it to swiftly move amidst the grass, Roserade wasn't as agile. As the razor winds approached, Roserade used its Dazzling Gleam to defend against the attack.
However, Dazzling Gleam wasn't a defensive move, and Roserade still suffered considerable damage, especially from the impact force, nearly pushing it out of the arena.
Watching Roserade retreat, Yuga gained a newfound appreciation for Vivillon's attack power.
Due to inherent race disadvantages, Pokémon like Vivillon often had lower attack power compared to Pokémon like Roserade. That's why moves like Quiver Dance were typically included in their move pool.
But the current razor wind from Vivillon had displayed attack power comparable to its previous state while using Quiver Dance.
Supporting itself with one hand, Roserade knelt on the ground, visibly in pain. Threads of green energy from the Grassy Terrain seeped into its body, alleviating the discomfort caused by the razor winds.
Seeing Roserade struggling, Vivillon couldn't help but feel triumphant, thinking, "Underestimated me, didn't you? Now you know how powerful I am!"
With this thought in mind, Vivillon began gathering razor winds on its wings once again, preparing to take advantage of Roserade's weakened state.
Flying-type Pokémon like Vivillon had a significant advantage in terms of type matchups, which explained Roserade's initial disadvantage in the battle.
Vivillon's Hurricane was much faster than Roserade had anticipated. As the enormous blades sliced vertically towards it, Roserade managed to conjure a few Energy Balls to counterattack, but these were quickly extinguished by the ferocity of Vivillon's Hurricane.
Clearly, Roserade couldn't gain the upper hand in terms of offense against Vivillon.
As the razor winds cut through the air with a sharp "swish," it seemed like they would strike Roserade imminently. At the critical moment, Bellossom completed its Quiver Dance on the Grassy Terrain, accumulating six layers of the dance.
In a state of full-powered Quiver Dance, Bellossom experienced a significant boost in both speed and attack power.
Bellossom swiftly positioned itself in front of Roserade, manipulating countless pink petals that spun and collided with Vivillon's razor winds.
The beautiful and dreamlike petals clashed with the chillingly sharp blades, creating a tug-of-war effect.
In the end, with a resounding "boom," both the blades and petals exploded simultaneously, resulting in a massive explosion.
As Yuga observed the smoke cloud formed by the explosion over the battlefield, he confirmed Vivillon's attack capabilities in its normal state.
In terms of sheer attack power, Vivillon had likely surpassed Roserade, Serperior, and Deerling in their normal states.
This change was likely due to Vivillon's race metamorphosis.
In the world of Pokémon, there were differences in race abilities, but there were no strict race value boundaries. Clearly, Vivillon's transformation stemmed from an increase in race values.
After defending against Vivillon's attack, Bellossom gently lifted Roserade, which was still on the ground.
Seeing that Bellossom easily handled its Hurricane, Vivillon felt a bit annoyed. It thought, "Are you trying to bully me? I can dance like a butterfly too!"
Annoyed, Vivillon swiftly ascended to the skies and began its own Quiver Dance.
However, compared to Bellossom, which benefited from the Grassy Terrain for energy accumulation, Vivillon's Quiver Dance was significantly slower.
As Vivillon gracefully danced in the air, Bellossom couldn't help but think, "How naive!"
Bellossom and Roserade exchanged a knowing glance, their close bond allowing them to easily understand each other's intentions.
Simultaneously, they placed their hands over their chests, slowly condensing two golden Energy Orbs.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two golden orbs were simultaneously launched into the sky.
Rising rapidly, the two orbs seemed to transform into dazzling suns, shining brightly in the sky and raising the temperature in the air, making it feel dry and parched.
Double Sunny Day.
Although it was nighttime, the Double Sunny Day created by Roserade and Bellossom illuminated the entire training field as if it were daytime.
The trainers who were still training couldn't help but be influenced by Yuga's side and turned their attention to Bellossom and Roserade.
Vivillon's Quiver Dance speed was not as fast as Bellossom's. By the time the Double Sunny Day performed by Bellossom and Roserade ended, Vivillon had only managed to reach half of the third layer of its Quiver Dance.
Seeing that Vivillon was still gracefully dancing, Bellossom extended its right hand, and Roserade extended its left hand towards each other.
The petals on Roserade's right hand faced the two golden Energy Balls in the sky, fervently gathering solar energy.
The two vibrant flowers on Bellossom's head emitted a radiant white light as they too rapidly collected solar energy.
Vivillon, in the midst of its Quiver Dance, suddenly felt a pounding sensation in its chest, as if something had locked onto it.
When it lowered its gaze, it was horrified to discover a robust golden beam of light coalescing upon the left and right hands held by Bellossom and Roserade.
In a state of crisis, Vivillon immediately halted its Quiver Dance, attempting to break free from this feeling of being locked on.
However, the speed of the beam was astonishingly fast, almost in the blink of an eye, Vivillon was engulfed by the light.
Inside the beam of light, Vivillon felt extremely uncomfortable. The surrounding air seemed to be boiling and burning. It felt as though it would be reduced to ashes.
This was the heat generated by the Solar Beam.
Under the Double Sunny Day, Grass-type Solar Beam could be fired instantaneously. However, Bellossom and Roserade had spent time charging it, indicating the immense power behind it.
The golden beam dissolved into specks of light and slowly dissipated into the air, revealing Vivillon within.
At this moment, Vivillon appeared quite miserable, with its body charred and emitting smoke.
Did we go too far?
Both Bellossom and Roserade thought simultaneously, realizing they had only wanted to teach Vivillon, who had become overly arrogant, a lesson.
Vivillon's strength had indeed undergone a dramatic transformation, but Bellossom and Roserade had not idled away their two years with Yuga in Arus.
They had accompanied Yuga during his escape in Arus, endured pursuit, and accumulated combat experience in blood and tears. This was something Vivillon couldn't compare to.
