Chapter 148: Best Era
Even with many benefits, an orphan simply cannot bear the burden of being a Trainer.
Unlessits a special case like Terrance.
The times are changing.
After booking a cruise back to Hoenn, Terrance was a little surprised. He had already accepted the fact that the number of Trainers was increasing, but it was strange to see a group of Trainers in Kanto who looked like they had come from various mainlands.
From their Pokmon to clothing, Terrance could see a style that was completely different from Kanto.
Friend
Looking at the smiling young man in front of him, Terrance raised an eyebrow.
Who is this
Luxurious clothing, a familiar face this guyisnt he the rich young heir who traded Fire Stone with him when he was coming from Sinnoh?
Its you, friend, Terrance also smiled.
Meeting him again was also a kind of fate.
By the way, I still dont know how to address you, friend.
The rich young heir patted his stomach and laughed, Hehehe, Im Noah, I was born in the Unova Region, but not raised there.
Noah, slightly chubby, gave a friendly vibe.
Terrance replied, Terrance, Im from Kanto, but just like you, I was also not raised in Kanto.
After that, the two laughed, and their relationship became a bit closer.
I didnt expect to meet you again here, the rich young heir Noah said.
Its indeed quite a coincidence, Terrance said. So, have you finished your business in Kanto? Are you ready to go back?
Uh Noah seemed visibly surprised.
No, not really
Dont you know?
Know what? Terrance was puzzled.
No way, could it be that youre not here to catch a ride to the Indigo Plateau
Noah looked doubtful, but quickly understood. Given Terrances age, he might not care much about such things.
Although it involved complex relationships intertwining different forces, besides the enthusiastic Trainers who constantly paid attention to the Pokmon League, only some related corporations would pay attention to it.
This matter is no longer a secretit has been widely known for a long time. I thought you were also going to the Indigo Plateau, Noah said.
Noah smiled. Terrance seemed genuinely unaware, but that didnt stop Noah from explaining further.
Just a slight mention, and the other person would understand.
Do you know about the Dragon Master?
Dragon Master
Hearing this somewhat eccentric title, Terrance reacted and then realized
Dragon Master Lance?
Yes, him, Lance from Blackthorn City.
When mentioning this person, Noah smiled mysteriously. He is about to challenge for the position of Champion.
If successful, he might become the youngest Elite Four Champion in history. Countless travelers, Trainers, media, and forces are gathering in the Indigo Plateau from all over the world.
So soon Terrance was taken aback. Since arriving in Kanto, he had been immersed in the matter of Ralts, paying less attention to what was happening outside.
Lance is a Champion, Terrance already knew, but considering the time difference from the original work, he was unclear about when Lance became the Champion.
No wonder its so grand Terrance said. Fighting for the position of Champion seemed to have stirred up a storm in Kanto.
No, no, its not that simple, Noah quickly explained.
If its just the Champion, it wouldnt cause such a commotion. The important thing is that Lance is young and has shown great hope of winning, and also
Kanto and Johto are situated within the jurisdiction of Indigo Plateau, the headquarters of the Pokmon League. The Champion of the Indigo League receives more attention compared to the Champion of other regions.
Moreover, Lance himself has already gained significant fame. He is not only a Trainer, but also a detective. He has wiped out numerous illegal organizations and helped countless forces in the past. In the Kanto and Johto regions, he has long become the representative of the new generation of Trainers, with a frighteningly high reputation.
So, even if its a Champion Challenge, you can watch it live from home. Theres absolutely no need to travel all the way here.
Terrance nodded. In summary, it was the significance of Lances identity and image that garnered such attention.
So thats how it is no wonder, Terrance smiled wryly. It seemed he was out of luck. He had already booked an S.S. Ticket to return to Hoenn, and it seemed he wouldnt be able to watch live. Moreover, the tickets for this match wouldnt be easy to get.
What a pity
However, at the same time, Terrance also noticed that if Lance became the Champion, he would likely be hailed as the youngest Champion.
At this moment, the Elite Four and Champion were still under the control of the older generation of Trainers. After Lance became the Champion, Cynthia would probably take the title of the youngest Champion within a few years, taking over Sinnohs highest honor.
Following that, if nothing unexpected happened, the Elite Four would further become younger.
The best era, Terrance thought to himself.
With the rise of Trainers, more benefits, and the accumulation of experience from predecessors, opportunities for young Trainers to grow would keep increasing.
Lance, Wallace, Cynthia and people Terrance didnt know, the future of Trainers might very well rest on the shoulders of the younger generation.
Lance has a high chance of winning I really hope he can successfully claim the title. Ive bet my entire years pocket money on him, Noah said, a mix of nervousness and anticipation in his smile. Betting one years pocket money on the champion showed his determination.
However, Terrances reaction was clearly out of his expectations.
What Terrance eyes widened, a buzzing sound in his mind.
Betting
Yes, for a challenge at the Elite Four level, there must be official betting involved!
How the hell could I miss it?
Uh is the channel closed? Terrance hesitated, but the answer left him crestfallen. It wasnt his turn; even if he knew Lance could become the Champion, he had missed the best opportunity.
The money-making opportunity slipped away from him.
No
There will be other opportunities; it is not a big deal. He forced himself to calm down. His personal savings were also not much, so even if he went all-in, he wouldnt earn much. Missing this chance wasnt worth regretting; instead it served as a wake-up call for him.
Theres also the time when Cynthia will challenge. Ill go big with the bet at that time. Terrance patted his pocket, glancing at Noah and clearing his throat.
I think Lance has a high chance of winning. Anyway, congratulations in advance on winning big.
Thank you, thank you Noah squinted his eyes and smiled. Everyone loves to hear nice words.
Their destinations were different. After chatting for a while, they inevitably went their separate paths.
However, Lances matter gave Terrance a reminder. The important characters from the original work were beginning to make appearances one after another.
It seemed that before long, a wave of Trainers would emerge, appearing in every corner. Famous characters like Lance would undoubtedly attract a group of fans and admirers, which would also spur the development of the Trainer industry.
Interesting
Ill let you all bask in glory for now.
Ill be there soon.
Terrance was in high spirits, walking towards the cruise ship. With a special case like him, the gears of history were sure to turn in a different direction
