Chapter 632
Shalour City, on a public bench in a remote area, Terrance and the Rotom Pokédex temporarily paused their actions to gather information.
Now that he had arrived four years in the future, Terrance actually had many questions. However, due to various reasons when he first got here, he didnât delve into them deeply. For example, not entering the PokĂ©mon Center just now was one of Terranceâs doubts.
âRotom PokĂ©dex, did you find anything?â
Terrance didnât have Rotom PokĂ©dex first search for information about Teacher Teresaâs father online; instead, he had it search for information about the Gyms in the Hoenn region.
âLocking onto the map, Fallarbor Town⊠searching for Fallarbor GymâŠno data found, no data found??â
Rotom Pokédex spoke in confusion and looked at Terrance, as if puzzled about why the Fallarbor Gym had vanished into thin air.
âGood thing I didnât go in.â Terrance grimaced and said, âCan you find any information about the Super Festival in Hoenn from four years ago?â
As for that festival⊠although four years have passed, there should still be information about it online.
Rotom PokĂ©dex nodded, and after a moment, spoke again: âNothing found.â
âNothing about the festival, or nothing about me participating?â
âThe festival was held as scheduled, but there was no one named Terrance participatingâŠâ Rotom PokĂ©dex slowly responded.
âWhat about Albus, Fujiki, and Leo?â
âLeo, the former Elite Four from the Unova region, attended the festival. He lost to Wallace in the battle segment. In the final match, Wallace single handedly swept through all Trainers, cementing the status of PokĂ©mon Contests and his strength as a Contest Master⊠As for Albus and Fujiki, thereâs no record of either of them appearing, Roto.â
Terrance fell silent. At first, when he traveled through the timeline, he had been a bit anxious, thinking he might be able to determine Albusâs fate through how the future unfolded. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, Terrance was mentally prepared. But judging from the information recorded online nowâŠ
It seemed that in this timeline, there was no such person as Terrance. Whether it was the Fallarbor Gym or the Super Festival, anything related to him simply never happened.
Rotom Pokédex held its head in confusion. Terrance said nothing. It seemed⊠his identity as a transmigrator indeed made him different.
Perhaps⊠the timeline he came from, the one where the âTransmigrator Terranceâ existed, had already become a unique existence?!
Terrance had a sudden headache. He didnât want to think too much about it. Even humanity hadnât fully understood timelines, so naturally, he didnât know much either. But based on what he did know, he understood that the course of history in this timeline had completely diverged from the one he came from.
âSigh, Rotom PokĂ©dex, search for information on Researcher Stuart.â
Teresaâs father should be considered a public figure, so it wouldnât be hard to find his information online.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, Rotom Pokédex gave Terrance the relevant data.
âHis family and research team are all in Anistar City, huhâŠâ
Having obtained the information he wanted, Terrance rubbed his chin. Shalour City and Anistar City were not close, but if he hurried over, it wouldnât take too long.
âAlright, Rotom PokĂ©dex, next weâre heading to Anistar City!â
âWait, Terrance, I discovered something, Roto!!â Rotom PokĂ©dex suddenly stopped Terrance and said, âIn the items you asked me to keep an eye on regarding Albus, I found matching keywords here in Shalour City.â
âWhat?â Terrance froze.
âLucario, and⊠a Lucario that has mastered Mega Evolution.â
âThe official Gym of Shalour City, Shalour Gym, has a Gym Leader named Korrina whose ace PokĂ©mon, Lucario, has recently mastered the power of Mega Evolution. Maybe they know deeper secrets about Aura.â
Terrance spoke softly: âMega Lucario?â
âRotom PokĂ©dex, check for relevant information on Mega Evolution.â
âGot it, Roto~~ Mega Evolution surpasses the current limits of PokĂ©mon evolution. It is a higher form of evolution. In the Kalos region, itâs already become a very popular evolution method and is a symbol of a Trainerâs strength. Trainers who have mastered the power of Mega Evolution are all quite famous!!â
Hearing the information provided by Rotom PokĂ©dex, Terrance said, âLooks like four years was enough time for Mega Evolution to become fully integrated into the Trainer community⊠In that case, Trainers who can use Mega Evolution may not be that rare anymore.â
âMy and Altariaâs advantage⊠has also become negligible in this timeline.â
âThat seems to be the case, RotoâŠâ Rotom PokĂ©dex said.
âBut it doesnât matter. You know, Iâm starting to kind of like this timeline. Not only does âmeâ not exist, but there also seem to be quite a few outstanding Trainers⊠Shalour Gym, huh. Korrina, right?â
Terrance returned his focus to Rotom PokĂ©dexâs earlier reminder and shook his head. Though he didnât think the other party could offer any particularly valuable information, he still planned to check it out. After all, it wouldnât take much time. This was at least a lead.
In the original timeline, even that advanced Aura user Riley from the Sinnoh region was at a loss when it came to Albus. Though Korrina possessed a Mega Lucario, Terrance wasnât holding out much hope.

Shalour Gym was located within the Tower of Mastery built on shallow sea waters.
After spending a bit of time finding the location, Terrance headed directly toward Shalour Gym.
âAm I supposed to⊠fly over there?â
Standing on the beach, looking at the Tower of Mastery seemingly floating on the sea in the distance, Terrance scratched his head.
Should he ride Altaria to fly across, or have Gallade teleport him over?
At this distance, with a few teleports, they should be able to make it.
âHello, are you planning to go to Shalour Gym?â
Just as Terrance was considering how to cross, a pleasing female voice reached his ears.
âIf you want to challenge the Gym, youâll need to wait patiently. Only at dusk does a path appear over the sea that leads into the Gym.â
âYou areâŠâ Terrance looked at the girl wearing something like skates, slightly startled.
The girl had a lemon-yellow ponytail and wore a red-and-white training outfit. She looked clean, sharp, and full of energy.
âShalour Gymâs Gym Leader, Korrina.â Upon seeing the girl, both Terrance and the Rotom PokĂ©dex floating behind him spoke at the same time.
As their voices fell, a Lucario descended from the sky and stood behind Korrina, calmly watching Terrance.
âThatâs right, the ultra-strong Trainer of Shalour Gym, Korrina, has arrived! Just kidding! You look like a pretty capable challenger. So, how about waiting until dusk with me and then having a great battle?â
âEh⊠eh!!! The PokĂ©dex can talk?!â
Korrina greeted Terrance cheerfully, then suddenly turned her head to look at the Rotom Pokédex behind him, her face full of surprise.
Sheâs got some pretty thick nervesâŠ
