The 3rd Ribbon

Defeating Kyosuke in this battle was seen as a miracle by everyone, especially those who didn't expect Castform to win. Seeing those hundreds of clones at the end left them speechless with shock

For the first time, they realized that moves could be used in such a way. They understood that the effects of moves weren't set in stone and that certain moves, combined with the unique characteristics of Pokémon, could change in a variety of ways.

"Incredible..." The panel of judges began to evaluate the practical value of the combo "Illusion • Double Team" performed by Castform. They were amazed to discover that, in any situation, this is a textbook-style combo move with extremely high practical value.

Unlike typical combo moves, this Double Team required a lot of professional knowledge and tested the Trainer and Pokémon's ability to control the battle. Additionally, from the very start of the fight, Castform and Terrance, who had planned this, were under significant pressure.

Any mistake in the middle could have caused their entire plan to collapse. This was also a test of the mental fortitude of the Trainer and Pokémon. In this setting, Tyranitar initially had the upper hand. However, with the appearance of the "Double Team" that had been planned from the beginning, even if Kyosuke still had full appeal points, he would have likely lost many points under this unprecedented advanced combo move. Not to mention, his appeal points were already running low.

"Hey... Yuu." Yui tugged at her dazed friend, her gaze toward Terrance and Castform changing, now filled with admiration.

"Hehe... Hehe..." Yuu Tachibana held her forehead, laughing out loud. "So interesting. This Terrance used Castform to go head-to-head like a Trainer and then ended it perfectly like a Coordinator. Amazing."

The Coordinators, including Little Qi, watched as Kyosuke was defeated by Terrance. But for some reason, they felt no joy or pride as Coordinators. Looking at Terrance, their eyes were full of envy, wishing they were the ones who had defeated Kyosuke.

Little Qi recalled what Terrance had said and came to a realization, shaking her head in disappointment. Indeed, as Terrance had said, being looked down upon by Trainers, the only way to experience the true joy of pride was to reclaim your dignity yourself.

"Is that Pokémon really Castform..." Nurse Joy doubted her own knowledge.

"If nothing unexpected happens next..." Raoul Contesta observed. If nothing unexpected happened, this Pokémon Contest's winner would be Terrance for sure.

Kyosuke's arrogance had suppressed all the Coordinators here, but Terrance defeated him in such a stunning manner.

Terrance has now built up a strong momentum. The next person to advance to the finals likely won't be able to defeat him.

As most people predicted, in the final match, Terrance's Castform did not display the exaggerated Double Team. However, even so, with precise control over rain clouds, it put its opponent through a tough battle and unsurprisingly defeated them.

By the end of the Mauville Contest, Terrance officially earned his third Ribbon, taking another step closer to the Grand Festival, just two steps away.

"Mr. Terrance... Mr. Terrance..." Just like after the Lilycove Contest's closing ceremony, Terrance was once again surrounded by the audience, even more so than last time. Facing this situation, Terrance had already expected it and smiled, saying, "The city where people mingle with nature."

Leaving this message, Terrance embarked on his journey alone.

As Terrance prepared to head to the next city, unbeknownst to him, a news spread out that one of the Trainer who had challenged Regirock was a Coordinator, surprising many people.

Additionally, some parts of Terrance's performances from regular Pokémon Contests, which were originally not supposed to be publicly available, were edited and posted online.

Electric Whirlpool, Silver Meteor Shower, Articuno Ice Sculpture, Double Rainbow, and... Mega Double Team.

Mega Double Team combo caused the biggest sensation. The reason was simple: unlike previous performances, this Mega Double Team received high recognition from many Trainers, who considered it to be an extremely valuable and advanced technique for battles.

In other words, it could be used in real battles and was useful for the entire Trainer community.

Mega Double Team was the name given by the public, and it was the most widely accepted name. In fact, there were other names like Multi Double Team and Illusion Double Team, but Mega Double Team was the most catchy.

Hundreds of Double Team... With this, countless Trainers began to imitate this move, researching the principles, training their Pokémon, and constantly refining and coordinating. However, those who succeeded... were very few.

This move had strict requirements related to weather conditions, and only a few Pokémon could perform it. Even among these few Pokémon, extensive training was necessary. When it came to weather expertise, most people thought of Dragonair and Castform. However, as a Pokémon comparable to Tyranitar, the skill of this move is not so important, and Dragonair's proficiency in weather was only limited to Rainy Day. Although it can manage other conditions, it was not as proficient as Rainy Day.

In contrast, Castform was more balanced, but this doesn't include Terrance's Castform. His Castform is practically a duplicate of Dragonair. Even so, it excels in Sunny Day and Hail in a way that Dragonair cannot match.

In terms of Rainy Day, Castform was inferior to Dragonair. In terms of Sunny Day, it was inferior to Ninetales and Torkoal. In terms of Snow, it was inferior to Abomasnow. While it may not excel in any single condition, it is proficient in all of them. This well-roundedness allows Castform to easily create Rainbow and Mega Double Team.

Castform had impressive control over both snow and sunshine, surpassing 99% of other Pokémon. Therefore, it could combine these moves seamlessly. So, if one wanted to imitate this highly specialized Castform, only Castform itself could achieve it...

However, who would be willing to raise a not-so-powerful Castform just for this Mega Double Team?

If Terrance's Castform hadn't absorbed the power of the Dragon Orb, it wouldn't have been able to defeat Tyranitar.

Thus, Terrance's Mega Double Team was extremely difficult to replicate. Even though everyone knew the principles, very few could succeed in it. And even if they did, it wouldn't be as valuable in actual battle as Terrance's. Once most people realized this, they would probably give up.

In addition, the Petalburg Contest, which will take place in a month, also became the destination for many Pokémon Contest supporters to gather.
