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


    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, themotion caused by Team Magma at Mt. Chimney.


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


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


    But Terrance also understood that this wasnt anime;rge organizations that could still operate under the Leagues watchful eyes must have their own management system andprehensive 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 toe back here.


    The security forces in Farbor 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!


    Torchc!


    BreloomMach Punch!


    Breloommm!


    With eachmand, the flying tes in the sky were instantly broken by various moves.


    Not only were there flying tes, but also bubbles, balloons, ribbons, and various other items, upying 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 undergoingpetition training.


    Many Coordinators arrived here a week or even half a month before thepetition, honing their skillsst 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 undergoingst-minute special training.


    Just a nce around revealed dozens of Coordinators on the training ground, a significant increasepared 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 nce, Terrance managed to gauge the strength of ny percent of the contestants. If they couldnt even train their Pokmon well, thening 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 fewpared to Trainers, Terrance sighed inwardly.


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


    However, upon entering the field himself, he realized it wasnt as morous as it seemed. Coordinators were still too weakpared 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 ofbat was slower-paced and more easily epted.


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


    The number of individuals who truly loved and understood the Coordinator profession, who weremitted 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 thest day, was quite a rare oddity.


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


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


    What attracted Terrance was themand 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 ck rabbit plushie as an essory, and she also had two ck 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 urred.
