Chapter 356: Mismagius’ new illusion skill
Terrance didn’t have much for breakfast after waking up. Instead, he began preparing for his Pokémon’s training early in the morning.
Examiner Joy also rose early. Her task was to observe Terrance’s every move and document anything noteworthy.
Terrance’s behavior reflected his “style,” “personality,” and “character.” After all, some Gym Trainers were known for their eccentricities, creating bizarre rules for their Gyms that often led to complaints from the challengers.
For example, Cyllage City’s Gym Leader Grant required challengers to “climb walls,” which left many Trainers speechless.
Understanding a Gym Leader better is one of the goals of this evaluation.
This is how the League prevents people with overly extreme personalities from becoming Gym Leaders. However, things like “climbing walls” or “climbing mountains” are still within acceptable limits.
“Altaria, complete Dragon Dance once and then fly a lap around the island to map out its general terrain.”
Terrance’s first task: “Keep the effects of Dragon Dance active. Additionally, if any Pokémon attack you, feel free to counterattack.”
Terrance wants to let Altaria participate in actual combat. Compared to other Pokémon, Altaria’s fundamentals can be considered very solid, so the strengthening effect brought by intense battles will be even better.
