Chapter 165: True essence of Pokémon Contest

Next, please look forward to the pairings of the second round , in the lobby, the contestants could still hear announcer Vivians voice through the big screen.

So, its decided

Ding

The eight slots, after a quick flicker, were immediately filled.

Ah Terrance

How could this be! Another contestant in the lobby, Sora.

Finally, the screen showed both candidates: Terrance versus Sora.

This match up The contestants stared blankly at the pairing. Why is it a battle between the highest and lowest score!

This is too much of a coincidence.

What should I do Sora looked at Terrances picture on the big screen and became nervous again. If the opponent was anyone else, she would still be nervous.

But at least, it wouldnt be as nerve-wracking as facing Terrance. Just now, Terrances performance, for her, was unimaginably skilled.

She couldnt fathom how to fight Terrance-senpai.

Ill probably lose miserably, Sora muttered, lowering her head.

Time passed bit by bit, while other contestants were engaged in the second round of the Contest Battle, Sora was constantly thinking about how to face Terrance.

Victory seems utterly impossible.

Meanwhile, Terrance sat quietly in the lobby, conserving his energy and waiting for the battle.

The secondary judging was the battle.

Within the limited five minutes, whoever could reduce their opponents score with appealing moves, when the opponents score bar reached zero, they would win.

Please pay attention, contestants, and try not to make the same blunder as before, Vivian made a goofy gesture to describe the previous battle.

One sides Pokmon was too weak, while the other sides Pokmon was decently strong.

So, the moment the battle began, with just one attack, one side lost the ability to fight.

While rendering the opponent incapable of fighting is crucial for scoring, at the beginning when both sides had full appeal points, a regular one-hit KO wouldnt clear the opponents appeal points.

This led to the mishap of one Pokmon losing its ability to battle while the appeal points werent yet cleared, and according to the rules of Pokmon Contest, this situation warranted a rematch.

So, pursuing intense battles directly in Contest Battle was not the correct choice. The right approach was to find ways to deplete the opponents appeal points and then deal with them.

So, let the fourth match begin!

As the countdown bell rang, both Terrance and Sora in the arena released their Pokmon.

Beautifly versus Beautifly.

Walking onto the arena opposite him, Terrance never expected his first opponent to be the girl he had coached.

Moreover, seeing Soras nervous yet determined expression, Terrance couldnt help but smile.

He could tell she was a strong-minded girl, but lacked confidence in herself. It was contradictory, but also human nature.

However, the battle between Beautifly and Beautifly immediately attracted a lot of attention, perhaps because of Terrances previous performance

The audience watching this battle unexpectedly became enthusiastic, the battle between the two Beautifly greatly enhancing the entertainment value of this match.

Senpai, please guide me, Sora took a deep breath. She was facing her lifes first Contest Battle, and encountering such a strong opponent, the pressure on her was extraordinary.

Alright, Terrance nodded.

If we disregard Beautiflys seemingly gentle appearance, it is actually quite aggressive. With its adorable appearance featuring a body of gray and black hues, aquamarine compound eyes, and wings adorned with vibrant patterns of black, yellow, blue, and red, Beautiflys attractiveness ranks the best among the Bug Type Pokmon, loved by many girls.

Although adhering to the principle of only scoring based on how the Pokmon has been trained, humans are emotional beings, and beautiful things will always be loved.

Therefore, the two Beautifly fluttering their wings were extremely popular Pokmon among the amateur spectators who were mostly just here to watch the excitement. The audience was going wild.

Soras Beautifly was the first one to move. Compared to Terrances calm Beautifly, the opponent, due to growing up in the wild, seems somewhat impatient and full of wildness.

Silver Wind!

Sora gave the command, and her Beautifly immediately executed its signature move. Silver Wind is the move which best demonstrates Beautiflys charm.

Ignore it.

Surprisingly, Terrances command was confusing.

As the silver whirlwind swept over, Terrances Beautifly stayed there obediently, as if waiting for the arrival of the storm.

Contestant Terrances Beautiflyhas been blown away by Silver Wind! Vivian was stunned.

Noit has not been blown away!!

Thats

Entering the opponents Silver Wind, Beautifly was indeed carried away by the force of the wind, but due to its perfect sensitivity to air currents, it was not harmed at all!

Easily finding a gap in the opponents Silver Wind, it used the opening and the power of the wind to complete a graceful dance!!

Ding

In just the moment of clash between moves, Soras appeal points instantly decreased.

Her own move served as a foil to the opponents performance, and in this encounter, Sora was completely defeated.

Beautifly Sora clenched her white dress, her little face panicked as she looked at the decreased appeal points, at a loss.

Well use Silver Wind too.

The moment Soras appeal points decreased, Terrances command followed.

Silver Wind.

In the eyes of the audience and judges, Terrance chose to counterattack. If Terrances Beautiflys Silver Wind could inflict damage on the opponent

Then, due to the previous clash, Soras appeal points would decrease again.

The same Pokmon, the same move, but the opponent displayed it more excellently. Undoubtedly, the opponent has the advantage, firmly holding onto their appeal points.

Although seemingly the same Silver Wind, in terms of fluency, one would notice that Terrances Beautifly executed it more skillfully.

In addition, if Soras Beautiflys powdery scales mixed in the wind resembled fine snow, then Terrances side was like a blizzard, powdery scales filling the entire trajectory of the wind!

Very cohesive.

Well arranged.

Judge Joy nodded. The difference between the moves of Terrance and Soras Beautifly lay in the powdery scales.

On Terrances side, the powdery scales were planned, utilizing the wind to magnify the cutting attribute of its own. From a single powdery scale to a combination of many, constantly expanding, thereby causing damage.

But on Soras side, the Silver Wind wasnt orderly, the trajectory of the powdery scales chaotic, and Beautifly couldnt control the wind speed and airflow well enough to let the powdery scales play their true role.

Dodge it.

This time, Terrances Beautifly didnt execute its move particularly fast. Under Soras anxious command, the opponents Beautifly narrowly avoided this move.

However

Ding

Due to the previous comparison of Silver Wind between both sides, Soras appeal points decreased once again!

This is the true essence of the Pokmon Contest.
