Pokémon Court-Chapter 461: Fairy energy

On Mt. Chimney.

Altaria's cry echoed in all directions, its ribbon-like tail feathers and cotton-like fur fluttered in the wind, resembling a noble monarch.

"Mega Altaria, a Dragon and Fairy-type."

Terrance felt his energy depletion slow down by at least half, his mind surging with excitement.

At this reduced speed... he could last for at least more than five minutes!

Five minutes was enough for a typical battle!

After all, a Contest Battle lasted only about that long.

"Five minutes... Though it can't sustain a prolonged fight, it's already enough to deliver a decisive blow."

"Besides, since this Mega Evolution has side effects, it must also be different from an ordinary Mega Evolution, right?" Terrance had some anticipation.

"Whoooosh~~~~~~"

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

Wild air currents constantly surged around Mega Altaria, exerting an immense pressure over the entire area with Mega Altaria at its center, making the grass and trees sway.

This aura... was truly vast.

"No way, it's even more exaggerated than last time—so this is Mega Evolution?!" Albus exclaimed in shock.

In reality, the Mega Evolution that Altaria underwent was somewhat different from the conventional concept of Mega Evolution.

Ordinary Mega Evolution relied solely on a Key Stone and a Mega Stone, with the bond between Trainer and Pokémon serving as the link, without consuming the Trainer's stamina or mental strength. However, because Terrance was using this high-tech Mega Ring of Team Nightmare, his Mega Evolution process differed from the conventional one.

Its characteristic seemed to enhance the power of moves corresponding to its type and had a condensation effect on Fairy energy.

"How is it?" Albus asked quickly.

"It seems... I can hold out for more than five minutes now," Terrance said slowly.

"Really?!" Albus was overjoyed. In just a few days, it had increased so much—at this rate, wouldn't they be ready to set out for Nightmare Island in a month?!

"A Pokémon is coming," Fujiki said at this moment.

The three of them looked toward the peak of Mt. Chimney. Another Altaria had flown out, making Albus gape in astonishment, his mind struggling to process the situation.

"What's going on?"

"It's Altaria's mother," Terrance said, looking at Mega Altaria.

Mother?

Fujiki and Albus exchanged surprised glances.

That Altaria didn't come over. Perhaps it noticed outsiders, so it only glanced from afar before going back.

"Looks like your mother was truly startled by your progress this time." Terrance laughed heartily, finding it quite amusing.

Altaria evolving again?

When Mt. Chimney's Altaria entrusted Swablu to Terrance, could it have ever imagined this day would come?

"Hey, Terrance, let's have a battle! I want to check out Mega Altaria's strength!"

Albus still couldn't let go of his curiosity about Mega Altaria's strength. Back when it was just Altaria, it had already been stronger than Aerodactyl—now that it had evolved again, how would it compare to his Lucario, which had been trained at the cost of Aura and life force?

"No."

Terrance refused again. "Quite some time has passed already. The most urgent thing now is to understand Mega Altaria's current state."

"...." Albus was stunned, unable to argue.

"Since its type has changed after evolution, could other aspects have changed as well...?" Terrance muttered to himself.

However, a Pokémon like Mega Altaria was probably unknown even to Professors, so there was no existing information for Terrance to refer to.

"Altaria, can you feel what changes have occurred in you?"

Terrance tried asking.

Mega Altaria locked eyes with Terrance and nodded.

Suddenly, Mega Altaria flapped its wings, turned toward a massive boulder, and pecked it lightly.

"BOOM!!!!!!!!!!"

Before their eyes, the boulder was pierced through by a surge of pink energy that burst forth like a drill and shattered into pieces!

"Fury Attack?"

Fury Attack, a Normal-type move where the user strikes the opponent with its beak or horns—one of the most common moves out there.

But now, when Mega Altaria used it... Ever since it had grown, Altaria had never considered moves like "Peck" or "Fury Attack" as its main combat moves. Terrance knew that compared to powerful moves like Dragon Pulse, Draco Meteor, or Dragon Rush, these moves weren't even on the same level.

No matter how much effort was put into training them, there was still a significant innate gap in power. It was better to focus on mastering already strong moves.

Yet now, with just a light peck, Mega Altaria caused the boulder to explode. There was no way a casual Fury Attack could achieve that level of power.

"Has it mastered new energy?" Terrance speculated.

As a familiar energy fluctuation gathered around Mega Altaria's body, and it lunged forward like it would when using Dragon Rush, Terrance finally understood.

"Fairy energy?!"

This energy was strikingly similar—almost identical—to the fluctuations given off by Moonblast and Disarming Voice!

"In other words, Mega Altaria can control Fairy energy, allowing it to grant Fairy-type effects to moves that originally lacked special energy..."

Terrance deduced all of this in an extremely short time. Albus and Fujiki were still puzzled, but the moment Mega Altaria demonstrated those two moves, Terrance had already figured it out—his clear thinking in this meditative state playing a crucial role.

"What exactly is going on?" Albus had also noticed Mega Altaria's change. He had a few guesses in his mind, but he wasn't sure.

"It's the type," Terrance replied.

"Mega Altaria has gained the ability to imbue certain moves with the Fairy-type."

Terrance was overjoyed—just this ability alone would significantly boost Altaria's overall strength.

Take Fury Attack and Take Down, for example...

Not only were they weak in power, but their energy was also of a lower tier.... They were almost ineffective as an offensive move against Pokémon of any type, meaning they can't effectively counter the enemy. This puts them at a disadvantage in terms of tactical choices.

Furthermore, some powerful Normal-type moves—such as Hyper Beam and Giga Impact—came with certain drawbacks. This was one of the inherent flaws of Normal-type energy.

But if Fairy energy could replace Normal-type energy and be skillfully used by Mega Altaria, allowing it to apply Fairy-type to these moves, then it would be equivalent to Altaria mastering many Fairy-type signature moves with considerable effects, making it even more versatile.

"Fairy energy has an extremely strong damage effect against Dragon-type. From the moment Mega Altaria mastered Fairy energy..." Terrance smirked to himself.

The so-called "noblest" type—the Dragon type—was bound to suffer at the hands of his Mega Altaria in the future.

A Fairy-type Hyper Beam or Giga Impact... might not be any weaker than Dragon Pulse or Dragon Rush!

"Now, let's test the limits of its full power..." Terrance said.

He looked around and furrowed his brow. If they unleashed their strongest moves here... would the destruction be too much?
