934 Astral Body

Suzuye truly lived up to her reputation as a Top Coordinator, having won the Grand Festival Championship twice. Except for the Great God Wallace, no other Pokémon received such a warm and enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience.

Clap, clap.

With a smile on her face, Suzuye threw two Poké Balls, and two Pokémon appeared in the arena: an Umbreon and a Gothitelle.

Previously, no one had seen Suzuye use these two Pokémon in competitions. However, just by looking at the levels of these two Pokémon, Yuga could tell that these were her hidden assets. In other words, from this match onwards, Suzuye was going all out.

Umbreon and Gothitelle were both black in color, and the two Pokémon stood together, creating an unexpectedly harmonious sight.

"Umbreon!"

Umbreon let out a gentle cry and hopped in front of Gothitelle. It moved gracefully and elegantly, displaying an air of pride distinct from other Pokémon.

Umbreon often had such personalities, and the more haughty they were, the more trainers liked them. However, sometimes, Umbreon's aloofness was just a façade, especially when facing their trainers.

Thinking about it, if Umbreon's inner nature was as aloof as its appearance, it would never evolve into Umbreon. After all, Eevee needed high friendship levels to evolve into Umbreon.

The golden rings on Umbreon's black fur slightly shimmered, and then a brilliant golden beam of light shot from the golden ring on Umbreon's forehead. The audience then saw a beautiful silver moon appear behind Umbreon and Gothitelle.

Because it was still daytime, the silver moon wasn't very distinct, but when combined with the black bodies of Umbreon and Gothitelle, it seemed like a silver glow enveloped them.

"Gothitelle!"

As the silver moon appeared, Gothitelle let out a cry, and the audience was captivated by the enchanting scene before them.

After the appearance of the silver moon, Gothitelle behind Umbreon spread its arms, emitting a dazzling rainbow-colored light. The entire arena suddenly plunged into darkness, and then one by one, tiny stars lit up in the darkness, like twinkling night lanterns.

Initially, the audience was taken aback by the sudden darkness, and then there was a burst of astonishment.

"It's so beautiful!"

With the silver moon high in the sky and shimmering stars all around, the entire arena was a breathtaking sight.

With the stars adding to the ambiance, the arena was no longer pitch-black, and the audience began to whisper in amazement.

They were curious about how this starry night sky had appeared in the middle of a daylight venue.

"Gothitelle, the Astral Body Pokémon, possesses a special individual with powerful psychic energy. It can use this power to manipulate space, allowing people to see the distant cosmos up close," Yuga whispered to the other judges.

Joyka remarked, "I always thought this was a legend; I didn't expect Gothitelle could actually do it."

Wallace contemplated for a moment and replied, "This Gothitelle probably can't fully achieve this on its own, so it's leveraging the power of Umbreon."

The other judges nodded in agreement. If Gothitelle could achieve this with only one Pokémon, it would have to be a Elite level Pokémon at the very least, but the one on stage clearly didn't possess that level of power.

Yuga added, "Gothitelle capable of doing this is definitely rare, and Gothitelle itself is already a rare Pokémon, so those that can achieve this are even rarer."

Just like the legend of how Mismagius can control powerful illusions, not every Mismagius possesses such a talent. For example, Yuga's Mismagius doesn't have this ability, and there isn't a single one in his Ecopark that can do it.

In the end, it all comes down to talent. Special talents are extremely rare, just like the ability to control space and project distant scenes possessed by Gothitelle.

The judges exchanged a few quiet words and then continued to watch Gothitelle and Umbreon's performance in silence.

"Umbreon!"

The eyes of Umbreon shimmered with blue light, and under its strong psychic influence, it and the silver moon behind Gothitelle slowly ascended. Then, they suddenly shrank smaller and smaller, as if affected by space distortion, until they disappeared completely.

Following this, all the twinkling stars in the night sky seemed to be attracted, flowing toward the place where the silver moon vanished. The entire night sky appeared to be showered with a meteor shower.

After the meteor shower faded, space plunged into darkness again. At this moment, Gothitelle once more emitted a powerful, multicolored light. Under the influence of this light, the entire space seemed to be in motion.

Then, a massive yellow planet suddenly appeared out of thin air and immediately disappeared. It was followed by blue, purple, gold, red... one planet after another appearing and disappearing.

Each of these planets was no longer as tiny as the previous stars; each one, upon appearing, occupied the entire space. The last one to appear was a blazing ball of flames.

Without a doubt, it was the sun.

By this point, the audience had been left in awe by these breathtaking scenes, and the entire arena fell into a hushed silence.

After the sun disappeared as well, Umbreon leaped high into the air and shot out an enormous shadow ball. The shadow ball exploded in mid-air, and then space seemed to detonate like the exploding shadow ball, unleashing a series of colorful meteors, all originating from a single point.

Meteor streaked across the night sky, transforming into beautiful auroras that gently swayed above the arena, captivating the gaze of every single spectator.

Such a spectacle was truly rare!

Buzz!

Just as the audience was immersed in this magnificent display, all the auroras disappeared in an instant. The arena returned to normal as if the night, silver moon, stars, planets, sun, and auroras had never existed. Only Umbreon and Gothitelle stood on the stage, panting heavily.

Reflecting such a grandiose scene exacted an immense toll on both Gothitelle and Umbreon, even with the assistance of Gothitelle's talent.

To be precise, Gothitelle had not fully mastered this talent yet. Otherwise, it wouldn't have needed Umbreon's assistance and guidance during the performance.

When Gothitelle broke through to the Elite level Pokémon, it was believed that it would be able to fully harness this talent. Currently, with its psychic strength, it was not yet capable of independently projecting scenes from tens of thousands of light-years away.

After Gothitelle and Umbreon's performance, there was a moment of silence in the arena, followed by an unprecedented wave of cheers.

It had to be said that Suzuye's trump card was truly formidable, dominating the opening act and placing immense pressure on all the subsequent contestants.

After deliberation by all the judges, Suzuye's performance received a perfect score.

This was the first perfect score in this Wallace Cup Exhibition Match.
