Chapter 454: The 3rd Challenger
Terrance left Kotoko’s house.
After he left, Kotoko fell into deep thought, recalling Terrance’s proposal just now.
“Become a Gym Trainer?”
With the identity of Gym Trainer, she would also be considered an official member of the Hoenn League. Having this status meant that any illegal organization would have to think twice before targeting her.
Up until now, no organization had dared to openly oppose the Pokémon League, let alone a group like Team Nightmare, which had been destroyed by just two people.
Retaliating against an orphan with no background might still be something some people could get away with, but attacking a Gym Trainer—whether they succeeded or not—would push Team Nightmare into true oblivion. Pokémon League would never allow a small organization to challenge its authority.
Moreover, with the identity of a Gym Trainer, Kotoko’s dream of becoming a Trainer would have a much better starting point…
After leaving, Terrance was also reflecting on whether his proposal had been appropriate. Compared to Ayan and Scarlet, Kotoko’s Trainer foundation was already very solid, and it had been honed through repeated real battles.
To reach Kotoko’s level, Ayan and Scarlet, even if lucky, would need a few years to grow.
