Chapter 161: True Debut



“How is this possible…” Sora was in disbelief as she watched the trajectory of the frisbees. Not only her, but her Beautifly also gaped in astonishment at the four frisbees overlapping on top of each other.

Then, the frisbees slowly pulled apart vertically, each separated by the length of a thumb, and under the control of Silver Wind, they began to rotate on their own.

“Silver Wind can reach this level?”

What puzzled Sora was that from bottom to top, the rotation radius of the four frisbees increased sequentially. Coupled with the effect of Silver Wind, the frisbees spun faster and faster, visually resembling a miniature “Silver Storm.”contemporary romance

“Point three to note is the powdery scales within Silver Wind. If you can’t control the movement of the powdery scales in the wind properly, you will only be able to perform straightforward maneuvers.”

Reflecting on Terrance’s words, Sora had no idea that a move like Silver Wind had so much depth to it.

The Silver Wind move incorporates powdery scales into the wind to attack opponents. Without the powdery scales, it’s actually not much different from the move Gust.

However, because powdery scales are added, it leads to a series of uncontrollable changes in wind speed, airflow, trajectory, and so on.

Only by mastering these changes could one truly play with Silver Wind, otherwise, it would just be a superficial skill, and the powdery scales, meant to embellish the performance, would become a hindrance instead.

“I still have a long way to go.” At this moment, Sora and her Beautifly watched in admiration as Terrance and his Beautifly finished their performance, and couldn’t help but applaud.

Too amazing.

Beautifly returned to Terrance’s shoulder, and Terrance smiled, “As long as you train it diligently, your Beautifly can certainly perform just as well.”

“As a Coordinator, it’s essential to fully understand Pokémon’s moves.”

This performance by Beautifly was like a simplified version of “Golden Wind” from a year ago.

Now, using it has become even more easier and effortless, which indirectly reflects the solid foundation of Beautifly’s basic skills.

“But…how exactly do we train?” Yet, the next moment, Sora still felt lost. Although Terrance’s explanation was simple, she didn’t understand much of it.

So, she had no idea how to proceed with the training.

“Contestants who have already signed up, please register the props you will need.”

“Contestants who have already signed up, please register the props you will need…..”

Just then, a broadcast echoed throughout the training ground, drawing the attention of everyone present.

Props were used to assist in the primary judging.

Things like the frisbees or blocks counted as props.

Some Coordinators used these Props to accentuate the beauty or skill of Pokémon moves, which could enhance their performance.

Now, on the last day of registration, it was time to confirm the props they will need. To prevent contestants from cheating, the competition organizer will prepare them uniformly.

“Oh… it’s time to confirm the props.” Sora spoke after hearing the broadcast.

“Hurry up.” Terrance urged.

At this point, some contestants began to rush towards the venue to register their props.

Sora nodded and quickly recalled Beautifly before heading towards the venue…

As for Terrance, he hadn’t trained with props before, so he shouldn’t need them for the primary judging.

And the primary judging…it is too easy for the current Beautifly.

Even just flying around in circles could earn a high score for showcasing excellent breeding skills. As for the moves, even without any fancy or technically challenging maneuvers, simply demonstrating high-level proficiency could garner high scores.

“Rumble~”

Beautifly looked at Terrance with an odd expression, apparently hearing some strange sound.

“Haha, I’m hungry,” said Terrance.

Having rushed to sign up on the last day, the journey was so hectic that Terrance hadn’t had a proper meal until now.

“Let’s go back to the Pokémon Center first. We’ll have the extra-large meal today.”

Early the next morning.

Time passed quickly. After finishing his meal, Terrance felt too lazy to move and just lay on the bed for the remaining time.

Terrance couldn’t be blamed. After every high-altitude trip, he would feel uncomfortable for a while and needed a nap to recover.

It was still early, but both the Pokémon Center and the entire Verdanturf Town were bustling with activity.

Pokémon Contest was starting today, and spectators and participants from nearby areas were all preparing to enter the venue.

This was Terrance’s second time participating in a Pokémon Contest. He still had the Hearthome Ribbon from the first time, but now it seemed to have little use. It could only serve as a keepsake.

Unless he had plans to participate in the Sinnoh Region’s Grand Festival in the future, he couldn’t use the Hearthome Ribbon in the Hoenn region.

Compared to the previous Pokémon Contest, this time could be considered Terrance’s true debut as a Coordinator!

Because this time, he planned to start from Verdanturf Town and participate in consecutive Pokémon Contests, aiming directly for victory in the Grand Festival!

Unlike the previous Pokémon Contest, during this period, Terrance would encounter some real Coordinators. Otherwise, if all he encountered on his journey to becoming a Top Coordinator were amateurs, it wouldn’t be convincing.

“Let’s go.”

Before setting off, he groomed Beautifly’s appearance, and then also began heading towards the venue as a contestant.

At this moment, inside the venue’s corridors, different Coordinators were in a different mood.

Excitement, worry, nervousness…

“That person…” As Terrance passed by a large screen, he saw Sora from before. She was looking at the large screen introducing the Pokémon Contest, her small hands clenched together, trembling slightly.

This should be the pre-match anxiety that most rookies experience!

Except for some confident Trainers, for anyone facing their first battle or challenging a Gym or participating in a Pokémon Contest, it wouldn’t be normal not to feel nervous.

“I wonder if she listened to what I said yesterday.” Terrance muttered to himself. The main thing was Sora’s Beautifly itself. Watching Beautifly’s performance firsthand, how much did it comprehend? Pokémon sometimes have more intelligence than Trainers.

Like Altaria, during the few days Terrance stayed on Mt. Chimney, it learned a new move from its mother.

Ice Beam.

It was also a move that Altaria on Mt. Chimney loves to use.

However, for his own Altaria, although Ice Beam could increase tactical choices, considering its outstanding Dragon-Type moves, Terrance didn’t spend too much effort on it

“Ding~~ Ding~~ Ding~~”

The bell rang, and the opening ceremony of the Pokémon Contest entered the countdown.
