Pokémon Court

Chapter 159: Verdanturf Town’s Pokémon Contest

How did Altaria find this meteorite? Terrance didnt obtain a definite answer.

Vague intuition

These words left Terrance baffled, offering no valuable hint to perform in-depth investigation.

Its not like Altaria is a dragon who naturally likes shiny objects!

Moreover, the meteorite didnt even emit light at first.

But upon closer examination, Altaria did seem to be like a dragon in a sense.

Though this dragon has a significant amount of padding, it still didnt change the fact that the meteorite didnt emit light initially.

Terrance reached out to Steven, informing him of the meteorites origins. Steven, still on the road, became excited upon receiving the information about the meteorite.

Afterward, Steven told Terrance to keep the meteorite safe as he would investigate the truth about it as soon as possible.

Terrance shrugged. In truth, he didnt care much about the meteorites origins. It was just a gift from Altaria; its value wasnt that important.

However, Stevens gradually growing enthusiasm was hard for Terrance to refuse.

Additionally, Terrance believed that through this matter, he could further strengthen his friendship with Steven. From Terrances perspective, Stevens apparent love for stones shouldnt be fake. If it were an act, then Steven would truly be a master actor.

Interpersonal relationships are very important, no matter where you are. Previously, because he was just starting out, he was obsessed with training Pokmon and neglected many relationships.

But now, its time to pick it up.

Even though Terrance preferred solitude, these things couldnt be overlooked.

Mt. Chimney, Terrance stayed here for some time, firstly to let both Altaria spend more time together, secondly because he had missed the Intermediate Breeder exam, and there was still some time left until the nearest Pokmon Contest.

Thirdly, it was due to the recent events, the commotion caused by Team Magma at Mt. Chimney.

Fortunately, during Terrances stay at Mt. Chimney, nothing unexpected happened. Otherwise, he wouldnt feel comfortable leaving directly.

Team Magma was likely the villainous team of the Hoenn region. In Terrances mind, they held a similar position to Team Rocket.

But Terrance also understood that this wasnt anime; large organizations that could still operate under the Leagues watchful eyes must have their own management system and comprehensive teams.

This wasnt something he could handle alone. Dealing with the frontline members of these organizations was the Leagues responsibility.

With the recent events at Mt. Chimney, the League would surely reinforce security here to prevent them from returning. As long as the leader of Team Magma wasnt a fool, they wouldnt be unwise enough to come back here.

The security forces in Fallarbor Town are too weak.

Terrance shook his head.

.

Verdanturf Town.

The Rusturf Tunnel project propelled this already renowned town in Hoenn into rapid development once again.

Torchic, use Peck Attack!

Torchiccc!

BreloomMach Punch!

Breloommm!

With each command, the flying plates in the sky were instantly broken by various moves.

Not only were there flying plates, but also bubbles, balloons, ribbons, and various other items, occupying the entire sky.

This was the training ground outside the Pokmon Contest Hall in Verdanturf Town.

At present, Coordinators who were going to participate in the Pokmon Contest were undergoing competition training.

Many Coordinators arrived here a week or even half a month before the competition, honing their skills last time and intensifying their training to strive for a good performance.

In a sense, challenging a Pokmon Contest isnt necessarily easier than Gyms, Terrance remarked as he observed the Coordinators undergoing last-minute special training.

Just a glance around revealed dozens of Coordinators on the training ground, a significant increase compared to the Pokmon Contest he had participated in Sinnoh.

Choosing one Champion out of about a hundred participants, and that Champion needing the same four victories to qualify for the Grand Festival.

But to put it another way, winning a Champion title once isnt difficult either. Pokmon Contests are held almost monthly.

And the average level of the participants

With just a casual glance, Terrance managed to gauge the strength of ninety percent of the contestants. If they couldnt even train their Pokmon well, then coming to the Pokmon Contest was just a formality.

He suspected that a Trainer capable of collecting eight Badges and earning recognition from Gym Leaders would be stronger than most Coordinators.

Truly skilled Coordinators are still too few compared to Trainers, Terrance sighed inwardly.

In his childhood, being a Coordinator was almost a dream profession for him, both sacred and glamorous. The performance process was always thrilling and surprising.

However, upon entering the field himself, he realized it wasnt as glamorous as it seemed. Coordinators were still too weak compared to Trainers.

What Terrance didnt know was that over half of the Coordinators were individuals who, while on the traditional Trainer path challenging Gyms, became disheartened by setbacks and grew tired of battling, only to fortunately discover Pokmon Contests, thus transitioning to this career.

Though Pokmon Contests also involved battles, the primary focus was on the concept of skill points. Compared to traditional battles, this style of combat was slower-paced and more easily accepted.

Hence, the level of most Coordinators tended to lag behind that of Trainers by a considerable margin.

The number of individuals who truly loved and understood the Coordinator profession, who were committed to it and worked hard for it, was actually quite small.

Beautifly, use Silver Wind!

Terrance, who had just registered, was drawn by a voice.

It must be said that Terrance, registering on the last day, was quite a rare oddity.

But wasting half a month on special training in a place like this, Terrance didnt think it was worth it.

Frisbee training, rock throwing training who came up with these!

What attracted Terrance was the command directed to Beautifly. If it werent for Beautifly, he wouldnt have been drawn over.

In this Verdanturf Towns Pokmon Contest, Terrances Pokmon which will go on stage was still Beautifly.

So, he subconsciously paid attention to the contestant who also had a Beautifly.

Hmm Terrance paused. It was a rookie.

She was a young girl with a sweet and cute appearance, with long straight cream-colored hair, wearing a white dress. Hanging from her waist was a black rabbit plushie as an accessory, and she also had two black bows tied on her head.

She was very young, and even if she wasnt a rookie Trainer, judging by her demeanor, she probably hadnt been traveling for more than a year; she seemed too delicate.

And this Beautifly Terrance furrowed his brows.

Ah

Sure enough, with a cry of surprise, something unexpected occurred.
