When Vivian introduced the contestants, the eyes of Raoul Contesta on the panel of judges darted around. Another traditional Trainer was participating in the Pokémon Contest, and this one had even been a runner-up in The Ever Grande Conference. If this person were to win a Ribbon, it would undoubtedly be quite irritating for the current Pokémon Contest, even though such occurrences were common in Pokémon Contests.
The upper echelons of the PokĂ©mon Contest didnât oppose Trainers participating because Coordinators are also Trainers. All participants are potential Coordinators. However, Kyosuke left a different impression on Raoul Contesta.
Kyosuke was a quintessential traditional Trainer, with no connection to Coordinators. His experience and team composition clearly indicated that he was a Trainer striving for the title of Master. As for developing him into a Coordinator, it was like showering affection on an uninterested party. ÆrÄenovelkiss.com
âKyosuke of the Desert⊠just one step away from qualifying for the Champion League. Terrance, do you think you can defeat him?â Raoul Contesta glanced at Terrance. Even though Terrance was a Top Coordinator, his battle strength might not match Kyosukeâs. But this was a PokĂ©mon Contest, and it was here that Terrance would be tested.
If Terrance lost, it would be understandable. But if he won, it would showcase his value.
On the stage, both sides sent out their Pokémon. Kyosuke chose Tyranitar, while Terrance still opted for Castform.
Unlike the previous battle where it was looked down on, although Castform was quite tiny compared to Tyranitar, Kyosuke regarded it seriously.
âYouâre the Trainer from that video, right?â Meeting for the first time, Kyosukeâs opening question surprised Terrance.
âThe one who fought Regirock,â Kyosuke added.
Terrance responded, âYes, I was one of them.â
Kyosukeâs eyes lit up with curiosity. âIâm really interested in that Regirock but regrettably I donât have a chance to catch it. But you fought Regirock, so you must be different from the previous Coordinators. I remember a heavy rain in the video; that must have been your Castformâs doing.â
Terrance smiled but didnât reply. The match had already started, and Kyosuke also noticed, instantly becoming serious. âIn that case, Iâm going to use my full-strength. Tyranitar, raise a Sandstorm!â
âRoarââ
Tyranitar roared at the sky and clapped its hands, shattering a massive Energy Ball that transformed into sand.
âImpressive, creating a Sandstorm without any sand. But are you that eager to know if that rainstorm was Castformâs doing?â Terrance stepped forward, smiling, and gave Castform a look.
Castform nodded, showing no fear of the approaching sandstorm. The Mystic Water around its neck swayed, and in an instant, strong winds blew, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and rain poured down. The speed was not slower than Tyranitarâs sandstorm formation, and in fact, the rainstormâs power surpassed that of the sandstorm.
âCastform has really suppressed Regirockâs sandstorm. Now, even without Damp Rock, Castform with Mystic Water has no problem suppressing Tyranitarâs sandstorm,â Terrance thought. Under the combined force of wind and rain, the sandstorm Tyranitar created quickly disappeared from the stage without posing any threat.
Kyosuke was momentarily stunned but then snapped his fingers indifferently. âStone Edge!â
This might have been the most violent battle ever seen on a Pokémon Contest stage. Tyranitar struck the stage with great force, causing countless dark stones to erupt and rush toward Castform. The emerging stones riddled half the stage with craters, making it no longer look like a Pokémon Contest.

However, the ferocity of the Stone Edge perfectly harmonized with Tyranitar, highlighting its arrogant and wild nature.
âWow!â Even Nurse Joy couldnât help but inwardly exclaim at the power of the Stone Edge. It was no wonder so many Coordinators lost so quickly. Facing such a powerful attack, how could Coordinators, who were only good at performances, possibly win?
âThe rumor is that when Tyranitar goes berserk, it can cause landslides, flatten rivers, and sometimes even necessitate redrawing maps,â Terrance thought in awe. âSo, can this Tyranitar reach that level?â
âCastform, Hydro Pump!â
Faced with the surging layers of Stone Edge coming from the ground, Terrance remained calm. Castform, equally composed, unleashed a powerful Hydro Pump towards the ground at the precise moment the sharp stones closed in. The immense impact sent Castformâs light body soaring high into the clouds.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dark stones erupted from the stage, shrouding the entire stage in smoke, causing the audience to hold their breath. Such powerâif Castform had taken it head-on, there would be no chance of survival.
The crowd was in an uproar.
âThis isâŠâ Someone looked at the stage. The once smooth stage was now covered with uneven rock pits, devoid of any flat surface. Everyone couldnât help but look up. Castform had used Hydro Pumpâs force to fly into the sky. They saw it with their own eyes, so⊠what happens next?
âThe beauty of destructionâŠâ Sukizo shook his head. It was rare for a Coordinator to use a PokĂ©mon like Tyranitar in a PokĂ©mon Contest.
Kyosuke, as a Trainer, was a first-timer, but he avoided the two common mistakes of first-time contestants.
The first mistake is to deliberately conform to the theme of the Pokémon Contest, making Pokémon perform empty, flashy moves.
The second mistake is fighting purely with passion, completely ignoring the appeal points.
Kyosukeâs Tyranitar, with its battle style, inadvertently matched the contestâs rules because of its unique traitsâits âarroganceâ and âwildâ destructive power.
âIâm afraid⊠Terrance is in for a tough battle. Compared to Tyranitar, Castform is inherently much weaker compared to Tyranitar. If he had used Altaria, the situation might have been significantly better,â Raoul Contesta remarked.
Most people noticed Terranceâs disadvantage. Tyranitar and CastformâŠthey are completely opposite types of PokĂ©mon.
If most had to choose, they would pick Tyranitar for its formidable strength and rarity. In contrast, Castform seemed more like a girlâs petâŠ
âIs that so?â Terrance responded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bolts of lightning, not at all inferior to the earlier Stone Edge, struck down, sweeping across the ruined stage towards Tyranitar, leaving everyone in awe.
âBoom!â Everyoneâs ears were jolted, and they stared in disbelief at the lightning bolt that had grown even thicker.
Back in the Safari Zone, Terrance was startled by the lightning even though he was far from Castform. Castformâs mastery of Rainy Day, now enhanced by Mystic Water, had imbued the rain with even stronger energy. How could it be weak?
âRoar!!â
Facing the incoming lightning, Tyranitar roared furiously. Following Kyosukeâs command, it clapped its hands, creating a black wave that clashed with the lightning.
Bang!
The stage was once again enveloped in smoke.
âWhat a spectacle,â Raoul Contesta remarked.
When people think of Tyranitar, its terrifying destructive power comes to mind.
But when people think of Castform, they think of its strange ability to change the weather.
The astonishing thing was that Castform used its âweatherâ ability to compete with Tyranitarâs âdestructive power.â This was trulyâŠ
Unprecedented.
