Chapter 461 - Fairy energy
On Mt. Chimney.
Altaria's cry echoed in all directions, its ribbon-like tail feathers and cotton-like fur fluttered in the wind, resembling a noble monarch.
"ga Altaria, a Dragon and Fairy-type."
Terrance felt his energy depletion slow down by at least half, his mind surging with excitent.
At this reduced speed... he could last for at least more than five minutes!
Five minutes was enough for a typical battle!
After all, a Contest Battle lasted only about that long.
"Five minutes... Though it can't sustain a prolonged fight, it's already enough to deliver a decisive blow."
"Besides, since this ga Evolution has side effects, it must also be different from an ordinary ga Evolution, right?" Terrance had so anticipation.
"Whoooosh~~~~~~"
Wild air currents constantly surged around ga Altaria, exerting an imnse pressure over the entire area with ga Altaria at its center, making the grass and trees sway.
This aura... was truly vast.
"No way, it's even more exaggerated than last ti—so this is ga Evolution?!" Albus exclaid in shock.
In reality, the ga Evolution that Altaria underwent was sowhat different from the conventional concept of ga Evolution.
Ordinary ga Evolution relied solely on a Key Stone and a ga Stone, with the bond between Trainer and Pokémon serving as the link, without consuming the Trainer's stamina or ntal strength. However, because Terrance was using this high-tech ga Ring of Team Nightmare, his ga Evolution process differed from the conventional one.
Its characteristic seed to enhance the power of moves corresponding to its type and had a condensation effect on Fairy energy.
"How is it?" Albus asked quickly.
"It seems... I can hold out for more than five minutes now," Terrance said slowly.
"Really?!" Albus was overjoyed. In just a few days, it had increased so much—at this rate, wouldn't they be ready to set out for Nightmare Island in a month?!
"A Pokémon is coming," Fujiki said at this mont.
The three of them looked toward the peak of Mt. Chimney. Another Altaria had flown out, making Albus gape in astonishnt, his mind struggling to process the situation.
"What's going on?"
"It's Altaria's mother," Terrance said, looking at ga Altaria.
Mother?
Fujiki and Albus exchanged surprised glances.
That Altaria didn't co over. Perhaps it noticed outsiders, so it only glanced from afar before going back.
"Looks like your mother was truly startled by your progress this ti." Terrance laughed heartily, finding it quite amusing.
Altaria evolving again?
When Mt. Chimney's Altaria entrusted Swablu to Terrance, could it have ever imagined this day would co?
"Hey, Terrance, let's have a battle! I want to check out ga Altaria's strength!"
Albus still couldn't let go of his curiosity about ga Altaria's strength. Back when it was just Altaria, it had already been stronger than Aerodactyl—now that it had evolved again, how would it compare to his Lucario, which had been trained at the cost of Aura and life force?
"No."
Terrance refused again. "Quite so ti has passed already. The most urgent thing now is to understand ga Altaria's current state."
"...." Albus was stunned, unable to argue.
"Since its type has changed after evolution, could other aspects have changed as well...?" Terrance muttered to himself.
However, a Pokémon like ga Altaria was probably unknown even to Professors, so there was no existing information for Terrance to refer to.
"Altaria, can you feel what changes have occurred in you?"
Terrance tried asking.
ga Altaria locked eyes with Terrance and nodded.
Suddenly, ga Altaria flapped its wings, turned toward a massive boulder, and pecked it lightly.
"BOOM!!!!!!!!!!"
Before their eyes, the boulder was pierced through by a surge of pink energy that burst forth like a drill and shattered into pieces!
"Fury Attack?"
Fury Attack, a Normal-type move where the user strikes the opponent with its beak or horns—one of the most common moves out there.
But now, when ga Altaria used it... Ever since it had grown, Altaria had never considered moves like "Peck" or "Fury Attack" as its main combat moves. Terrance knew that compared to powerful moves like Dragon Pulse, Draco teor, or Dragon Rush, these moves weren't even on the sa level.
No matter how much effort was put into training them, there was still a significant innate gap in power. It was better to focus on mastering already strong moves.
Yet now, with just a light peck, ga Altaria caused the boulder to explode. There was no way a casual Fury Attack could achieve that level of power.
"Has it mastered new energy?" Terrance speculated.
As a familiar energy fluctuation gathered around ga Altaria's body, and it lunged forward like it would when using Dragon Rush, Terrance finally understood.
"Fairy energy?!"
This energy was strikingly similar—almost identical—to the fluctuations given off by Moonblast and Disarming Voice!
"In other words, ga Altaria can control Fairy energy, allowing it to grant Fairy-type effects to moves that originally lacked special energy..."
Terrance deduced all of this in an extrely short ti. Albus and Fujiki were still puzzled, but the mont ga Altaria demonstrated those two moves, Terrance had already figured it out—his clear thinking in this ditative state playing a crucial role.
"What exactly is going on?" Albus had also noticed ga Altaria's change. He had a few guesses in his mind, but he wasn't sure.
"It's the type," Terrance replied.
"ga Altaria has gained the ability to imbue certain moves with the Fairy-type."
Terrance was overjoyed—just this ability alone would significantly boost Altaria's overall strength.
Take Fury Attack and Take Down, for example...
Not only were they weak in power, but their energy was also of a lower tier.... They were almost ineffective as an offensive move against Pokémon of any type, aning they can't effectively counter the enemy. This puts them at a disadvantage in terms of tactical choices.
Furthermore, so powerful Normal-type moves—such as Hyper Beam and Giga Impact—ca with certain drawbacks. This was one of the inherent flaws of Normal-type energy.
But if Fairy energy could replace Normal-type energy and be skillfully used by ga Altaria, allowing it to apply Fairy-type to these moves, then it would be equivalent to Altaria mastering many Fairy-type signature moves with considerable effects, making it even more versatile.
"Fairy energy has an extrely strong damage effect against Dragon-type. From the mont ga Altaria mastered Fairy energy..." Terrance smirked to himself.
The so-called "noblest" type—the Dragon type—was bound to suffer at the hands of his ga Altaria in the future.
A Fairy-type Hyper Beam or Giga Impact... might not be any weaker than Dragon Pulse or Dragon Rush!
"Now, let's test the limits of its full power..." Terrance said.
He looked around and furrowed his brow. If they unleashed their strongest moves here... would the destruction be too much?
