After the Petalburg Contest, the Contest Committee hastily convened a meeting. The main topic was how to address the âillusion skill,â a technique that canât be broadcasted via equipment.
You see, the Grand Festival is broadcasted live from all angles. Although the illusion skill is considered a unique charm of certain PokĂ©mon, and judges can understand it, as the saying goes, âLaymen watch for fun, experts watch for details.â The audience canât even enjoy the spectacle, and experts need to analyze the details of the battle or performance. This undoubtedly deals a heavy blow to the PokĂ©mon Contest system, significantly reducing its entertainment value. freŃnovelkiss.com
This time, Terranceâs PokĂ©mon Contest had the lowest âperformanceâ factor. He didnât gain any new fans, as the battle process was too rough and didnât meet the audienceâs standard impression of a PokĂ©mon Contest. However, a victory is a victory, and only Terranceâs initial supporters could still smile.
At the same time, these supporters noticed a pattern: Terrance seemed to change his Pokémon for each new Pokémon Contest. This approach has its pros and cons, but it also sparks curiosity among some supporters about what kind of Pokémon Terrance would use next, adding a layer of mystery to his Pokémon Contests.
Due to being hosted by Raoul Contesta, Terrance wasnât blocked by his supporters this time, and naturally, he couldnât announce where he planned to participate in the next PokĂ©mon Contest.
Petalburg Gym!
After the PokĂ©mon Contest ended, Terrance planned to bid farewell to Normanâs family and head to his next destination. However, he was suddenly stopped by Mr. Norman.
âMr. Norman, what is this aboutâŠâ
Terrance looked puzzled, not knowing why Mr. Norman asked him to stay.
âItâs nothing serious, just that someone wants to meet you,â Mr. Norman laughed heartily.
âThat person knew you were staying at Petalburg Gym and contacted me.â
âMeet meâŠâ Terrance hesitated, wondering who it could be. But if it was someone he knew, they wouldnât need to contact him through Mr. Norman.
âMr. NormanâŠâ Terrance voiced his confusion, and Norman also expressed uncertainty: âIâm not that acquainted with that person either, but they are quite renowned in HoennâŠâ
âI guess itâs because of your performance in the PokĂ©mon Contest and the previous video of your battle with Regirock that they looked for you.â
âAfter all, your illusion skill performance⊠led to a reform in the PokĂ©mon Contest,â Mr. Norman joked.
âWell⊠heheâŠâ Terrance laughed awkwardly, âCould you tell me more about this person?â
Norman nodded and said, âHis name is Scott. He owns the largest vehicle company in HoennâŠâ
âYou might not know him by this, but he has several other identities that are highly renowned in the Trainer community,â Mr. Norman mused. âIf you establish a good relationship with him, your path ahead as a Trainer could be much smoother.â
âAhem⊠I was just reflecting a bit. Do you know about the Battle Frontier?â
âYes,â Terrance nodded.
âScott is the owner of the Battle Frontier, or rather, its investor. Early on, Scott realized the rapid growth of the Trainer industry and resolutely handed over his family business to others to manage. He then dedicated himself to discovering outstanding Trainers, using his companyâs resources to grant them certain status and fame. The current Battle Frontier is entirely Scottâs creation.â
Battle Factory, Battle Arena, Battle Dome, Battle Pike, Battle Palace, Battle PyramidâŠthese vibrant battle facilities are, in a sense, all part of Scottâs enterprises.
âOh right, thereâs also the Battle Tower in Hoennâs LaRousse City, which is one of his enterprises as well.â
Terrance nodded; he could accept this. Most industries related to Trainers are certainly driven by other industries. Relying solely on Trainers, in the current social climate, naturally doesnât generate as much profit as the increasingly popular âvehicles.â
As the leader in Hoennâs vehicle industry, Scott has the capital to establish these Trainer facilities.
âWhy would someone like that want to see me?â Terrance frowned, unable to guess Scottâs intentions. In some ways, Scottâs status was even higher than Stevenâs. At least for now, Devon Corporationâs industrial chain couldnât match the vastness of Scottâs family enterprise.
Devon Corporationâs rapid growth has only been in recent years. Ten years ago, it was an obscure small company, but after they developed a new type of PokĂ© Ball and successfully revived a half-piece of ancient fossil, Devon Corporationâs capital skyrocketed, attracting investment from various sources. Over the years, they even forced their old rival, Greater Mauville Holdings, into bankruptcyâŠ
The president of Devon Corporation once said: they are researching a key technology, and if successful, they could soon rival Kantoâs overlord Silph Co.!
Hoennâs vehicle industry is saturated, but the Trainer industry is still booming, and Devon Corporation has enormous potential. Many entrepreneurs can see this clearly.
So Scottâs attempt to do something in the Trainer field⊠shows his foresight.
Listening to Mr. Normanâs evaluation of Scott, Terrance fell into thought. He wasnât in a hurry to leave anymore and began to wait quietly.
Outside Petalburg Gym, a red sports car suddenly sped over and then came to a screeching halt. A chubby man wearing sunglasses and a blue patterned short-sleeve shirt looked up and smiled, âHere we are.â
âThis is the sixth oneâŠâ he murmured to himself. He then got out of the car and took out a communication device to contact Mr. Norman.
Shortly after, Terrance and Mr. Norman met the young entrepreneur, Scott.
âNice to see you, Mr. Norman. Long time no see,â Scott laughed heartily as he shook hands with Mr. Norman.
âAnd this young man must be Terrance, right? Haha, hello, Iâm Scott.â
Terrance returned the greeting, and then Scott got straight to the point: âMr. Norman⊠you seeâŠâ

Understanding the cue, Mr. Norman arranged a room for Terrance and Scott.
âAh, Terrance, let me introduce myself again. Iâm Scott, the owner of the Battle Frontier. The Battle Tower in LaRousse City is also one of my enterprises, and Iâm also the owner of the âFrontier Club,â which focuses on the Hoenn League.â
âYou must have many questions right now, but let me explainâŠâ
Terrance, a bit embarrassed, nodded. How should he put it⊠the other party was much more âdown-to-earthâ than he had imagined.
âThe reason I came to find you is to invite you to become a provisional member of the âFrontier Club.â Are you interested?â
