Chapter 357: Fooling
“Bang~~~”
A loud sound echoed through the air. Terrance stopped in his tracks, letting Mismagius fly higher to investigate. It turned out that Altaria had gotten into a fight with a Pidgeot not far away.
However, according to Mismagius’s account, Altaria had the upper hand and would likely drive the opponent away soon.
Terrance paid no further attention to Altaria and continued on his way.
Before circling the entire island, Altaria had already used Dragon Dance once. With its boosted state, Terrance believed there were very few Pokémon on the island that could pose a threat to Altaria one-on-one. He decided to let Altaria maintain the effect of Dragon Dance for a while, and once it wore off, it would use it again. This way, the effects of Dragon Dance would continue to be extended, which was the training plan Terrance had arranged.
However, such training heavily relied on nutritional supplements. When an ordinary Pokémon sustains a state that exceeds its physical limits for an extended period, it may unlock greater power, but the body would undoubtedly suffer damage, potentially leaving behind hidden injuries.
If the nutritional replenishment couldn’t keep up with the consumption of squeezing the body’s potential, it would undoubtedly amount to self-harm.
Even in battles, using Dragon Dance for a brief moment would leave a Pokémon fatigued, let alone maintaining the state for a long period.
That said, Terrance’s Altaria had a bloodline far more exalted than ordinary Altaria. While using Dragon Dance still pushed its limits, the side effects were significantly reduced. This is why this has currently become one of the training methods for Altaria.
