Pokémon Court

Chapter 206: Unstoppable

“Altaria’s strength… is impressive,” Raoul Contesta remarked from the judges’ seats, inwardly astonished by Altaria’s power.

“Its age also shouldn’t be too much, at most 30 months…” Nurse Joy was even more surprised. This meant Altaria still had significant room for improvement.

“How exactly was it raised?” Several observant individuals pondered. Simple traveling and Gym challenges couldn’t possibly raise a Pokémon like this…

This was already on par with the main force of an experienced Gym Leader!

“That Beautifly isn’t Terrance’s ace, this Altaria is,” the judges concluded.

“We need to reassess Terrance’s worth,” Raoul Contesta began to think. He initially thought Terrance might just have the chance to become the next Wallace. Wallace, hailing from Sootopolis Gym, has a master who holds the dual identities of Top Coordinator and Gym Leader and was renowned as a Water Type Master. Under all this nurturing, combined with Wallace’s own hard work and talent, as well as his ace Pokémon, Milotic, which evolved from a Feebas after steady accumulation, Wallace became a Contest Master.

If Terrance was just an ordinary Trainer, even if he was also a Breeder and had talent more astonishing than Wallace, he would never be able to make it to the end…

The rise to a Master-level title…needs vast resources and opportunities.

Hardworking people are never in short supply… but what is in short supply is luck. Terrance was very hardworking, and he earned the title of Junior Breeder at the age of 10. But this was nothing to speak of. It was only because he had a mature way of thinking that he was able to achieve this much… As he grows older, this achievement would become more and more insignificant.

In the end, he would simply be lost among the ranks of Intermediate Breeders… unable to progress any further.

However, Terrance was lucky to encounter Master Victor, who mistook him for a 10-year-old boy… and provided help and guidance. This was the turning point for Terrance.

Entering Crown Academy, numerous resources were poured in. Without the academy’s library and faculty, he would never have been able to take the Intermediate Breeder exam within two years…

Without these fortuitous circumstances… he wouldn’t be able to utilize “credits” and various “rewards” to exchange for Pokémon breeding resources, and Altaria, Mismagius, Beautifly, Growlithe would never reach their current strength. He might have been slightly better than an ordinary Trainer, but not by much.

But with a powerful force backing him, every Pokémon of Terrance received the best food, the most suitable training, and the most effective care…How could he not progress rapidly?

If Terrance had chosen another path two years ago, as Master Victor suggested… to become a Trainer, obtain a decently talented Starter Pokémon, travel, challenge Gyms, and participate in League Conferences.

Perhaps by now, Terrance would have participated in two Conference and made it to the top four… but that wouldn’t mean much. There are too many people like that.

Unlike now, although Terrance hasn’t achieved much, these two years have given him a huge accumulation of experience. He has succeeded as a Trainer, his Breeder skills have improved, he has the potential to challenge Top Coordinators as a Coordinator, and his strength as Trainer… with a group of outstanding Pokémon, he is equally strong.

In two years, if Terrance had traveled, he would have been busy running around, without resources to raise Pokémon, and no time to study or absorb more knowledge. With no background, he would have disappeared from the public’s memory… But it’s different now. His accumulation is enough. Although it took two years, it’s not too late for everything.

He’s still young.

“Dragon Rush…is unstoppable…” Vivian watched the awe-inspiring Dragon Rush, unable to hide her surprise.

The so-called flame trap, directly dissolved before even stronger power, without causing any disturbance.

“When you have strength, there’s no need to adhere to rules and restrictions. Absolute strength can overcome all skills. Besides, our ‘skills’ are in no way inferior to theirs.” At this moment, Terrance and Altaria were in perfect sync. Under the suppression of strength, Vulpix’s flames were completely swallowed. By now, Alex’s appeal points were nearly zero…

“It’s over.”

Just as Terrance said, victory leaned towards him. Not just this round, but he also completely crushed his opponent in the second round with an overwhelming advantage.

Even his appeal points remained unscathed.

A year ago, when participating in Pokémon Contests, Terrance needed to exchange appeal points for some opportunities in battle. But now… he can achieve complete victory with his strength and coordination.

“This should be similar to Wallace, right?”

“To crush opponents with absolute strength and absolute performance, except my current opponents are those Coordinators who haven’t participated in the Grand Festival, while his opponents are those who have dominated the Grand Festival and obtained the title of Top Coordinator…”

“Only in this way can one be worthy of the title of Contest Master…”

With this momentum, Terrance successively defeated the second and fourth highest scorers in the primary judging, showing unparalleled superiority…

When first time participating in the Verdanturf Conference, Terrance didn’t have this mentality. But as Terrance contemplated, he had already missed the Intermediate Breeder exam. Coupled with the battle against Steven, and a further understanding of Pokémon Contests and Wallace’s experiences… Terrance’s mentality changed.

Sharpening a sword for two years, now it’s out of its sheath.

After two years of accumulation, the Grand Festival is finally here. It will be broadcasted live across the entire Hoenn region, and according to Old Green House’ tradition, the children and Grandma Arlan will definitely watch!

When Swablu evolved into Altaria, Terrance had already grown up. In that case, there’s no need to remain low-key. Why not seize the position of Top Coordinator with the most assertive attitude?!

“The next opponent, Reiko!”

After defeating two opponents in succession, Terrance and Altaria’s strength was evident….Sora and Reiko’s two Trainer friends, were not optimistic about her.

Reiko fought two battles, once against the last-place scorer in the first round, and another time winning by luck…Being able to make it to the end, luck plays a big part.

While Terrance… has been strongly defeating opponents all the way, showing great superiority. No matter how you look at it… Reiko’s chances of winning were very low.

“Come on!” Looking at the pretending-to-be-calm Reiko, Sora chuckled, remembering the first time she battled Terrance…She was even more nervous than Reiko.

“Terrance-senpai… seems to have gotten even stronger.” It’s much easier for Altaria to show its dominant side compared to Beautifly, which has led to Terrence’s mentality… A Trainer’s mentality is greater than Coordinator’s mentality, so the outcome of the battle appeared inevitable.
