——
In the storm.
The Shiny Feebas, caught in the turbulent whirls, felt its consciousness becoming hazy.
Its level was already low, completely unable to confront Gyarados and Pelipper directly, now swallowed by the Water Spout, its stamina reached a dangerously critical point.
In the midst of confusion.
It heard the trainer's voice, only the content was unclear.
Leap… Dragon Gate Waterfall… Water Spout… one chance…
A bit of it was hard to understand.
Was it asking to rush from here?
After all, how is the score, has the countdown ended? Certainly, being hit must have held back Blissey and the trainer? Is it about to lose?
Sigh.
Clearly, it already tried so hard.
Clearly, Blissey assisted so reliably, the trainer entrusted such an important match to it, yet it ending up disappointing his expectations.
Indeed, it is just a waste…
『No!』
『Absolutely not!』
Aggron's roar seemed to explode beside its ear, 『No matter how weak you were, no matter what you've gone through, as long as you persist, you can overcome any difficulties and dangers!』
『The trainer wouldn't lie, if he believes you can, then you definitely can! Don't give up! Don't admit defeat!』
『Climb! Go climb!』
『Don't give up!』
『Miracles exist in this world!』
The Shiny Feebas suddenly opened its eyes, a surge of power inexplicably rose within, allowing its exhausted body to catch a breath.
Though its body continued spinning in the storm, it calmed down.
The previously vague words from the trainer suddenly became clear.
Climb.
So that's it.
Was it time to start climbing again?
The Shiny Feebas, adrift in the wind, gazed up at the unreachable skies, even if the sky was covered by pale gray clouds, it was better than the dark days under Dragon Gate Waterfall.
Only one chance to climb.
Apparently, there wasn't time for endless attempts.
However.
This also means it hasn't lost, right? The trainer hasn't lost, right?
Since there's still a chance.
Then this is the moment for victory!
Aggron once said, life is full of opportunities, but there's no need to grasp them all, just seize the most critical one tightly.
A pink light suddenly invaded the corner of its eye.
Feebas knew that fleeting moment, yet it had to seize it.
It was once utterly without special skill, incompetent in everything.
But now.
Feebas understood it already had something it alone could achieve, something that makes the trainer choose it——
Climb!
"Hiss!!"
Bang!
The snow-white glass panel, transformed from a Light Wall, was flung beneath it through Spiritual Power, the immense force accompanied by excruciating pain, causing the glass panel to shatter, fragmented by the storm.
Yet.
In that brief instant, the involuntary Shiny Feebas found a point to leverage.
Though its tail fin felt like breaking open with pain, though weakened to almost nothing left, it held onto it.
This most critical chance!
Charge out!
The Shiny Feebas fixed its gaze on the distant sky, let out a silent cry, the surrounding storm-swept water seemed drawn by some mysterious force, forming an incredibly familiar "waterfall" within the raging Water Spout!
A "waterfall" to escape to survival!
It.
Never succumbs!
The Shiny Feebas swam upstream, its eyes full of unwavering determination, like iron and stone.
The radiant light of life swiftly descended, even the roaring Water Spout couldn't conceal it!
Outside.
The audience saw a blinding light illuminate the stage, the previous Water Spout, like a natural disaster, seemed vanished, leaving only an upward stream soaring into the skies.
Amid the stream, a tenacious life striving upstream, attempting to break through, overcoming seemingly impossible heights!
Unconsciously, they clench their fists, forgetting to shout or take note of the dangerous countdown on the screen.
All their attention was stolen away.
Until——
The moment the chasm was breached!
Roar!
Like the crash of thunder!
A figure radiating dazzling light was suspended high above, though it was so petite, yet so captivating.
Therefore.
Its form began to change.
The audience opened their mouths wide, held their breath while gazing up at it.
Gazing at the miraculous life breaking through dangerous adversity, transforming, and being born anew!
Beauty.
At this moment, became its exclusive epithet!
