Creating a style…
Terrance thought to himself, if Swablu could one day master the “Annihilation” secret technique, could it be called the “Annihilation Style”?
If Misdreavus continued to practice illusion creation; could it be referred to as the “Illusion Style”?
And if Growlithe further learns and becomes proficient in “Extreme Speed,” “Wild Charge,” and “Flare Blitz,” could it be called the “Mad Dog Style”?
As for Beautifly, its potential based on its species is weaker than other Pokemon. There aren’t many places where it can excel in simple battles, so taking the contest route is the best choice for Beautifly.
Whether “String Shot” and “Airflow Perception” could create and conceptualize a contest style that can be also used in actual combat is a significant challenge for Terrance’ Coordinator training.
Even for Ralts, Terrance suddenly had a peculiar idea.
Gallade is known as a master of courtesy and swordsmanship. Even if it cannot use psychic moves, its “Teleport” move, which it has practiced to perfection so far without being distracted by other moves, could become the core of Gallade’s future battles.
A sword master proficient in “Teleport”…
Even if Ralts cannot learn any moves after evolving into Gallade, the blades on its arms, which can be retracted or extended to two different lengths, can also be an excellent weapon for it to engage in real battles.
Furthermore, coupled with “Teleport”, Terrance thought to himself, it would be simply ridiculous.
Moreover, the inability to learn moves is just speculation. If the evolution successfully elevates Ralts’ life, allowing it to learn moves again…
“Close Combat,” “Leaf Blade,” “Slash,” “Fury Cutter,” “Aerial Ace,” “Swords Dance,” “Brick Break”…
Terrance seemed to see a very bright future for Ralts.
“I must ensure Ralts successfully evolves and that its years of painstaking training of Teleport do not go in vain,” The determination in Terrance’s heart grew even stronger.
Moreover… in conjunction with “Focus Blast,” it might even make the world experience the pain of “Flying Thunder God + Rasengan.”
“For Ralts…”
“I must win!”
Terrance looked confidently at Mr. Kiyo. It was his turn now. Next, it was Terrance’s turn to challenge the Fighting Gym in a Gym Battle.
“If I can’t even defeat Mr. Kiyo, then Sabrina is even more out of the question…”
“The battle just now…”
After considering, Terrance decided to send out Swablu.
“Hold on, I have a question,” Zimin said.
“Mr. Kiyo, you’re already so strong. Is it still necessary to apprentice under Teacher Chuck?” Zimin wondered. “I feel that even Teacher Chuck wouldn’t be your match.”
“Uh…” Kiyo was taken aback. “If Mr. Chuck heard what you said, he would definitely beat you up.”
“Mr. Chuck has a great reputation in this circle. You should trust your teacher. He may be holding back against you to ensure it doesn’t affect your growth. Who says you always have to show your true strength to the outside world?”
“Learning is endless. If I can gain Master Chuck’s approval, I have decided to embark on training with a brand new Pokemon once again, constantly honing myself from scratch until I can reclaim Saffron Gym!” Kiyo laughed, “Trainer is always the one who needs to learn the most. The stronger the Trainer, the stronger the power Pokemon can unleash. I will keep training myself with this goal in mind.”
“I understand…” Zimin seemed deep in thought, hesitating before slowly speaking, “In that case, I won’t disturb you. I will come back to challenge you in the future. Goodbye.”
“Huh? Don’t you plan to watch the next battle?” Kiyo asked.
“No, I need to review the previous battle and begin my own true training. Thank you, Mr. Kiyo,” Zimin said.
“Well then, I look forward to your growth…” Kiyo smiled.
It was only after Zimin left that Terrance spoke slowly, “Next, it’s my turn.”
“Oh? After seeing the previous battle, you still have a lot of confidence in yourself, huh?” Kiyo looked at Terrance in surprise, “I’m actually a playful person, often acting silly to make others happy. But these battles are different. I will go all out when facing challengers. Are you still going to challenge me?”
“Of course, I’ve already made up my mind. Dusk Stone, you have it, right?” Terrance asked again.
“Hehe, if your goal is the Dusk Stone, I won’t easily give it to you,” Kiyo smirked, “Since you insist on challenging, I’m not afraid to dent your confidence. Come out! Hitmonlee!”
“The Hitmonchan from earlier and this Hitmonlee are the first Pokemon that had accompanied me. Besides them, there used to be more than ten Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee learning together in the Dojo. Only when I face a real strong opponent do I let my original two partners come out.”
“Don’t be careless, come at me, young man!”
Different from Hitmonchan, which is known for its fists, Hitmonlee was renowned for its kicking techniques.
Facing what could be the opponent’s true main force and ace, Terrance didn’t dare to underestimate it. However, he still sent out Swablu.
Currently, Beautifly is likely the strongest in Terrance’s team when it comes to battling. However, Terence chose to send out Swablu as he did not have much confidence in Beautifly’s ability to challenge Kiyo, but if it’s Swablu…perhaps there might be some miracle.
Growlithe, Misdreavus, Swablu, Beautifly…
Perhaps Misdreavus was also suitable for dealing with Fighting-type Pokemon, but its current moves were not suitable for battle. The opponent’s Pokemon, cultivated through rigorous training throughout the years, would surely have strong willpower. Terrance was a bit worried about whether Misdreavus’ special moves could be effective.
“My partner is… Swablu!”
The elegant, pale blue Pokemon flew out, surprising Kiyo once again, “Another Pokemon rarely seen in Kanto and Johto?”
“Flying-type Pokemon, intending to counter my ‘Gōjū-ryū (hard-soft style)’. I must say, the battle just now should have given you some insights, right?”
Terrance looked at the bouncing Hitmonlee on the field, focusing on the tough yellow objects on the inside of its feet, the key to Hitmonlee’s powerful kicking techniques.
However, Swablu was flying in the air, and if it wanted to deal with Swablu, it wouldn’t be easy.
‘It’s said that Hitmonlee’s legs can extend quite far. I must keep Swablu at a distance from the opponent.’
“I did learn a few things. Let me witness your ‘Gōjū-ryū (hard-soft style) again,’ Mr. Kiyo.” Terrance said.
