However, to everyone’s astonishment, this weak and feeble wind, though it did not harm Manectric, when it blew across the ground, it swept up layers of golden, covering the entire arena with a yellow mist.
As if accidentally inhaling something unpleasant, Manectric’s eyes widened, groaning in pain.
“What’s wrong, Manectric!” the young man exclaimed in shock.
The yellow mist was Stun Spore. While evading the opponent’s attacks, Beautifly agilely flew around, sprinkling a large amount of Stun Spore gradually in various places.
Due to the magnetic field created by Electric Terrain, these granular pollen particles of Stun Spore went unnoticed as they were absorbed into the ground, gradually accumulating from just a few specks to forming a thin layer.
As Electric Terrain disappeared, these Stun Spores broke free from the ground, becoming active again. As the Gust move was used, instantly, the entire arena was filled with Stun Spore’s mist.
And Manectric, inhaling the Stun Spore, inevitably fell into Paralysis state. Latest content publıshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Facing the incoming thread of silk, the young man loudly ordered it to dodge, but Manectric couldn’t overcome the nerve and body Paralysis by relying on just its willpower, its movements slowing down.
From the beginning, Terrance never intended to engage in a direct confrontation when his opponent thought he was suppressing him using Electric Terrain. Instead, he used Electric Terrain to lay a trap with Stun Spore.
Now, Manectric had fallen into the trap, entangled by layers of Giga Drain silk threads. As energy was continuously drained away, Manectric’s expression became more and more numb…
All these changes happened in an instant, and most of the audience didn’t even realize what had happened.
Only the three judges could clearly understand why there was such a drastic change in such a short time.
Giga Drain, and… the manipulation of Stun Spore’s dust by airflow.
Bound by the threads, Manectric lay weakly on the ground, not only facing the absorption of energy but also the invasion of Stun Spore into its nose and mouth with the blowing air.
The young man was sweating profusely with anxiety. He tried his best to free Manectric from the trap, but he found this set of moves too despicable.
Being bound and continuously infused with Stun Spore, coupled with Giga Drain draining its stamiba… watching Manectric’s eyes dimming, the young man couldn’t bear to see his appeal points gradually diminish as he recalled Manectric.
“This…” the judges murmured.
In this battle… Terrance unexpectedly changed from his previous style, winning with an extremely scummy tactic.
“I lost…” the young man’s head hung low, his face flushed red. The loss was too ugly, with no chance of counterattack. The heroic attack at the beginning now seemed like hitting his own face…
“Terrance-senpai…” In the lobby, Sora observed with an odd mix of emotions at how Terrance achieved victory, and her mood after being rejected by the other party… suddenly improved a little, and even felt a little relieved?
And Terrance, the source of all this, obviously didn’t think much about it. Winning was enough for him.
Silently laying down a layer of Stun Spore, isn’t this also a test of Pokémon coordination? As for mastering the timing of Giga Drain, controlling the binding of String Shot, and using air currents to blow in Stun Spore…
All of these are Beautifly showcasing its mastery of the moves, undoubtedly a clear display of its skills. Surely, the judges must also be able to see through the intricacies of it all.
Indeed… Terrance’s battle in this round had reshaped the perspectives of two judges regarding Terrance. They had initially thought extravagant battle styles like “Electric Whirlpool,” “Silver Meteor Shower,” and “White spinning top” was his forte.
However, they found themselves mistaken. Terrance excels in precise control of the battle situation, a profound understanding of opponent Pokémon and their moves, as well as his own Pokémon. His remarkable ability lies in adjusting his moves skillfully to any situation.
Just as Teacher Julian said…
Whether it’s breeding, coordination, or command, they are all fundamental skills of a Trainer.
One should not be confined by the labels Breeder, Coordinator, or Trainer, and choose another aspect because you hate one aspect.
When you know all the three, breeding, coordination and command, that’s when one can be considered an excellent Trainer.
Terrance, appearing on this stage as a Coordinator, has clearly achieved this. Understanding Electric Terrain, using its ability as a weapon, he showcased his accumulation as a Breeder.
Beautifly’s meticulous control of continuously blowing Stun Spore into Manectric’s body demonstrated coordination skills.
And command was integrated into every aspect of this battle, with each command and every action of Beautifly reflecting the Trainer’s decisions.
Not abandoning any quality a Trainer should possess, even though Terrance is currently identified as a Trainer, in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the judges, he is also an extremely outstanding Coordinator, flawless in every aspect.
No one would ridicule a Trainer for having high-level breeding skills, and no one would criticize a Coordinator having exceptionally strong Pokémon…
For a Trainer or Coordinator, it is important to highlight one’s “focus” while not neglecting any of the basic qualities of a Trainer. Only then can others truly see the shining aspects of this profession.
Clearly, Terrance did just that, which is why he quickly garnered the attention of the judges in the shortest time possible.
“The winner has appeared!!!!”
As Vivian shouted, the audience who had supported Terrance from the beginning cheered with enthusiasm.
Terrance’s performance in the battle gave them a satisfactory response. If nothing unexpected happens, the sense of anticipation and satisfaction brought by Terrance’s victory will likely increase their favorability towards him, leading to continuous support for Terrance.
“Verdanturf Town’s Pokémon Contest, Verdanturf Conference ends here. And the winner of the Verdanturf Ribbon is—Contestant Terrance!”
“Let’s congratulate him with warm applause!!”
Although it’s only a town-level Pokémon Contest, winning the first Ribbon in Hoenn made Terrance very excited.
Next, as long as he continues with the same momentum and secures the remaining four Ribbons in one go, the ticket to the Grand Festival will be in his hands.
Just like that time in Sinnoh’s Pokémon Contest, Terrance, a stranger who came out of nowhere, a new face in the Pokémon Contest scene, unsurprisingly, received a lot of attention from the audience who support the Pokémon Contests and Coordinators.
Whether as an admirer, a competitor, or a challenger… In short, this Verdanturf Conference has thoroughly announced Terrance’s journey to dominate the Hoenn Pokémon Contest.
