Altaria, which had been slammed to the ground, began to emit a soft, glowing light. Countless rays of light emerged from within, and under this luminescence, Altaria slowly rose into the air. A beam of light purified its body, making it look as if it had never experienced the fierce battle just moments ago. “It’s impossible to defeat my Altaria with just that move. Show me your real skills.” Terrance spoke. Under the Giga Impact, Altaria was ruthlessly slammed into the ground! The sturdy battle arena directly withstood Altaria’s fall, revealing cracks! This move did indeed inflict some injuries on Altaria, but it was far from enough to render Altaria unable to fight. Even so, Terrance couldn’t help but admire his opponent. In his view, Aerodactyl’s physique was slightly inferior to Altaria’s, yet the opponent still managed to aggressively suppress Altaria. This meant that Albus and his Aerodactyl had combat skills far superior to Terrance and Altaria. After carefully thinking about it, Terrance finally understood the meaning behind his opponent’s earlier words. Now, he could confirm that what the opponent said was true—his skills indeed seem to have been honed through endless battles! Whether it was the seamless transition between Ancient Power and Heat Wave to break through Cotton Guard, or the combination of chasing with Sky Drop followed by Giga Impact, the opponent’s combat instincts were flawless. Aside from his battle against Steven, where he was ruthlessly suppressed due to the disparity in strength, this was the first time Terrance had been completely suppressed by a peer. “Altaria, use Dragon Dance!” Terrance quickly commanded. However, Aerodactyl clearly had no intention of giving Altaria time to power up. Letting out a loud cry while summoning massive rocks, Aerodactyl used Rock Slide. “Rumble!” Several rocks came crashing down toward Altaria, perfectly positioned to block its movements. As the rocks descended, Altaria’s Dragon Claw slashed out, smashing the rocks into pieces. The arena was instantly filled with flying debris. “It still has the strength to counterattack?!” Albus’s expression changed. Albus realized that while Altaria’s combat instincts weren’t as good as Aerodactyl’s, in terms of training, it was nothing short of excellent in every aspect. Such a Pokémon was rare—even in his own team, there was only one at this level. “He’s going on the offensive.” Albus’ eyes flashed as he noticed that Altaria had canceled Dragon Dance and was no longer trying to strengthen itself. Instead, it was charging straight at Aerodactyl. Albus didn’t even need to issue a command, yet Aerodactyl quickly understood his intentions. Attack! “Altaria, Dragon Rush!” Terrance’s eyes flashed as a towering bluish-purple blaze erupted from Altaria’s body, enveloping it in the form of a massive dragon. The intense energy flames radiated an intimidating aura. 𝙍Á𐌽ɵВЁṠ Giga Impact! With a furious roar, Aerodactyl charged fearlessly at Altaria. Bluish-purple flames collided head-on with a gray streak of light! Boom!! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!! The moment the bluish-purple flames were extinguished, countless feathers scattered into the air. As soon as Altaria’s Dragon Rush and Giga Impact clashed, the feathers swarmed toward Aerodactyl and wrapped around it. This was Feather Dance! Its effect was to slow down the opponent’s movements. Aerodactyl’s proud speed had now dropped significantly! “Dragon Claw!” Ice Fang! Bang! Bang! Bang! During this clash, Aerodactyl was entangled by Feather Dance, and the tide of battle changed. Altaria swung its massive energy claw, sticking close to Aerodactyl and launching a frenzied assault. Aerodactyl tried to break free, but the Feather Dance kept it entangled, allowing Altaria to block it every time! “Feather Dance?!” Fujiki and Albus’s expressions changed. Altaria had this move as well?! They had been puzzled since Altaria used Roost earlier, but now, with Altaria’s stunning reversal, Albus finally realized the battle was gradually shifting to his disadvantage. Feather Dance—one of Altaria’s inherited moves—had now become a powerful weapon for close-range offensive and locking down opponents. The two Pokémon engaged in an intense aerial battle. At this moment, Altaria’s far superior physique compared to Aerodactyl was finally revealed. Stamina, offense, and defense—Altaria held the upper hand in all aspects. As Aerodactyl and Altaria exchanged blows, both Pokémon began to show signs of injuries and fatigue from the relentless barrage of moves. “To think he could fight Albus to this extent…” Fujiki murmured to herself. With her keen perception, she could naturally see that Terrance had analyzed both Pokémon’s strengths and weaknesses. He firmly grasped this key point and used Feather Dance, which Albus had completely failed to guard against, to force close-quarters combat. With its speed restricted, Aerodactyl had no way to break away from the battlefield. If it tried to leave by force, it would only expose itself to Altaria’s attacks! In the end, both Pokémon were sent flying by each other’s powerful moves and crashed to the ground. However, Altaria still had Roost. For Altaria, unless the opponent was vastly superior in strength and could relentlessly suppress it without giving it any opening, defeating it was extremely difficult for any opponent of the same level. At this point, Albus also understood that he had lost. He hadn’t expected this… Even though Aerodactyl wasn’t particularly strong, losing this battle still came as a surprise to him. This made Albus look at Terrance with great curiosity. He could tell that Terrance was quite young, a few years younger than himself, at most the same age as Fujiki. “This battle is my loss. Your strength meets the criteria. Among the Altaria Trainers we’ve sought out in the past, the training your Altaria has received can be considered the best!” Albus did not hesitate to offer his praise. “Who exactly are you…? With your strength, it’s impossible for you to be an unknown nobody.” “Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos… where are you both from?” Terrance asked, puzzled. If it weren’t for the Inherited Move, he would have been the one to lose. “Also, during the entire battle, you never issued a single command. Was that due to looking down on me… or…?” “Allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m from Vientown in the Almia region. She and I come from the same place.” Albus withdrew Aerodactyl and said, “I think we can have a proper conversation now. Since you managed to defeat my Aerodactyl, I acknowledge your strength.” “As for the matter of issuing commands… have you ever heard of… Aura power?” … … Somewhere in the Fallarbor Gym, in a room. At Albus and Fujiki’s request, Terrance had to speak with them privately. With no other choice, Terrance temporarily asked Ayan to leave and led the two into a room inside the Gym. Terrance remained silent, wanting to see what their true purpose was in coming to him with an item related to Mega Evolution.
