Pokémon Court Novel Chapter 581: The Name of that Person is Terrance

Chapter 581: The Na of that Person is Terrance

Compared to other types of events, the Ghost-type event had significantly fewer participants, only in the triple digits.

Seeing this number, Terrance thought the event might end fairly quickly.

As for whether there could be an event with even fewer participants than the Ghost-type one, Terrance felt that only the Dragon-type event might have that possibility.

The Ghost-type event was held in an abandoned amusent park in Sootopolis City. This park was originally slated for demolition and reconstruction into a water-thed park showcasing the "charm of water," but due to the festival, construction was temporarily put on hold, and the site was used as one of the event venues.

When the ti ca, Terrance, led by Sharan, left the hotel and headed toward the amusent park.

Holding Mismagius’s Poké Ball, Terrance felt unusually calm this ti. After two quiet rounds of events, he was determined to win this one.

Having absorbed the fear energy condensed over several years on Nightmare Island, Mismagius’ overall strength had now reached an extrely formidable level.

It had surpassed Beautifly, Totem Arcanine, Gallade, and Castform, who had yet to fully master the weather-based secret techniques!

If Terrance were to rank the current strength of his team’s Pokémon, Altaria would be the strongest, followed by Mismagius, Castform, Totem Arcanine, Gallade, and Beautifly.

This was based on overall strength. If Beautifly successfully executed its top-tier technique, even Altaria wouldn’t gain an upper hand in a short ti. Similarly, a full-power strike from Totem Arcanine could seriously injure even ga Altaria if taken head-on. However, although Arcanine and Beautifly were very strong in certain aspects, battles involved many factors. Being strong in just one area was unreliable, and their shortcomings in other areas could easily beco the reason for their defeat.

Now that Mismagius had completely absorbed Nightmare Island’s resources, its strength had undergone a drastic transformation and was closely trailing Altaria. However...

Its growth rate from here on would slow significantly. Castform, on the other hand, possessed top-tier weather-based secret techniques. If it could fully master and incorporate these techniques, and also raise its proficiency in sa-type moves dependent on the weather, then its strength might surpass Mismagius and reach the level of ga Altaria.

However, Castform still needed more ti to fully master the top-tier weather techniques. Additionally, it hadn’t yet reached a high level of mastery with weather-dependent moves like "Hydro Pump," "Fire Blast," "Solar Beam," and "Blizzard." These moves were powerful mainly due to the weather boost, but without that advantage, Castform still had a long way to go.

That said, Terrance also understood that these Pokémon had different roles and comparing them rigidly was aningless.

In battles, many factors determine the outco. A foe that Altaria finds troubleso might actually be easy for Mismagius to handle.

The entire amusent park was now covered and simply renovated into a "temporary haunted house."

When Terrance arrived here, quite a few people had already gathered.

"Terrance is here..."

Terrance’s arrival also drew a lot of attention. Because of the format of this event, watching it would feel quite eerie. Even so, the festival organizers claid they could still guarantee a certain level of entertainnt.

Ghost-type—this type has always been synonymous with "rare" and "powerful," and the innovative format of this event also made many people curious about who would erge victorious.

Ecruteak Gym’s Gym Leader: Morty!

Heartho Gym’s Gym Leader and Top Coordinator: Fantina!

These two had the highest winning chances.

Besides them, there were other Top Coordinators and well-known Trainers participating as well, but their performances in the previous events were far less impressive than Fantina’s!

As for Morty, this was his first ti participating in an event. His air of mystery, coupled with his identity as a Ghost-type Gym Leader, made people look forward to seeing what he could do.

"Miss Fantina?" Terrance suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at the woman who had appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Terrance," Fantina smiled and said, "I’m looking forward to our upcoming match."

Terrance was slightly surprised, then smiled back and replied, "I’m looking forward to it as well."

In the first Flying-type event, Terrance’s Beautifly had outperford all the other participants. Beautifly’s performance at the ti left a deep impression on Fantina.

She had been very confident in her Drifblim, but that confidence had been rcilessly shattered by Beautifly.

Fantina also paid attention to Terrance’s subsequent two battles. As a fellow Top Coordinator, she could naturally tell how well-trained his Arcanine and Gallade were. To question Terrance just because he hadn’t won those events would be ridiculous.

Likewise, that would also an questioning herself; after all, she hadn’t won any of the events yet either.

As an expert in Ghost types, Fantina was taking this event very seriously. Terrance’s participation forced her to treat it with even greater caution. Compared to the others, Terrance—being both a Top Coordinator and a Gym Leader—gave Fantina the impression that he was not soone to be taken lightly.

"These two..."

The people standing around Terrance and Fantina, watching the two of them issue mutual challenges, swallowed nervously.

Who would ultimately win?

That question... was hard to answer, but there were still so who seed very confident, sharing their analysis with those around them: "Terrance’s strength is undeniable. He’s both a Gym Leader and a Top Coordinator. But so is Fantina. Have you noticed? Out of the three events Terrance has entered, only Beautifly has taken first place. That’s no coincidence, after all, Terrance’s Gym is known for specializing in Bug types. It’s only natural that his Beautifly would be trained to that level, right?"

"So yeah... While Arcanine and Gallade perford well, they’re not types Terrance specializes in. I suspect that in this Ghost-type event, Terrance’s performance may not stand out too much either. After all, we have a Coordinator here who specializes in Ghost types, Miss Fantina!! You all saw how she perford before, right? For an event in the type she excels at, I think we can already predict the winner!"

Many people felt this person’s reasoning made sense, but there were also those who scoffed at it.

"Do you know what the two additions were in the new Clause 7 of the Pokémon Contest performance rules?" Soone asked this question.

"What do you an?"

"Because of a particular Petalburg Contest, where a Coordinator’s Mismagius exploited a loophole in the rules, the Pokémon Contest had to revise its regulations. And that person... set a precedent in Pokémon Contest history."

"There were... nine people in total who advanced!"

"That person’s Mismagius showcased an ability that stunned the entire venue. I was there in the audience. And I think... with that level of ability, winning this event should be a piece of cake for him. Oh, right, the na of that Coordinator..."

"Is Terrance."
