Letting Team Magma escape was undoubtedly a blow to the police force, but Team Magma was like rats in the dark. Without voluntarily exposing themselves, it was difficult for the police to pinpoint their whereabouts.
The disturbance caused by this incident temporarily came to an end, leaving Terrance uncertain of what to feel.
He had inquired with the police and found out that from the Old Green House, aside from Ayan sustaining some injuries and needing some time to recuperate, there was no other injured.
The construction team took care of the medical expenses, and Ayan's injuries were not severe. With proper rest, he would soon recover.
However, during this time, Ayan couldn't engage in any work. Besides lying in bed to rest, he could hardly do anything strenuous.
Terrance hadn't met with everyone at the Old Green House yet. With Ayan injured and needing care, it was a burden for the current situation at the Old Green House.
Terrance feared that once he met everyone, he wouldn't have the heart to leave. Even though he has missed the Intermediate Breeder test, there were more important things waiting for him to do.
After completing this matter, he believed that the Old Green House would finally have a stable foundation for development.
So, Terrance must devote himself wholeheartedly to it without any distractions. He was determined to obtain the title of Top Coordinator no matter what.
"Well, I should challenge the Pokémon Contest in the Hoenn region. If I make it to the Grand Festival stage, they will see it then."
Terrance thought to himself. Although the Pokémon Contest wasn't as grand as The Ever Grande Conference, the highest competition of the Pokémon Contest, the Grand Festival, would also be broadcasted on television simultaneously.
"At that time, it will be our reunion, and I will fulfill what I promised back then."
The final stage of the Pokémon Contest was the dream of everyone at the Old Green House, and Grandma Arlan's story... Terrance believed that winning the title of Top Coordinator with Beautifly would be the best gift for everyone at the Old Green House.
Before the journey, when everyone at the Old Green House entrusted Beautifly to Terrance, he had already made up his mind to give them a unique surprise.
"It's time to go get Altaria."
...
Mt. Chimney.
Terrance once again traveled to this place on foot, consciously or unconsciously searching for the figure of "Seviper."
This Mt. Chimney's troublemaker had caused quite a bit of trouble during his training journey with Swablu.
Now, if Terrance encountered the troublemaker again, he would teach it a lesson.
"I have to climb up there."
Looking toward the peak of Mt. Chimney from afar, Terrance did some warm-up. For him now, climbing the mountain was a very easy task.
Since undergoing some training with the International Police, his physique has surpassed that of people of the same age, greatly enhancing his stamina.
However, the thing that Terrance was curious about was how it went with Altaria mother and child and what the outcome of their battle was.
"I also need to ask Altaria where it got this thing from."
Terrance took out the mysterious meteorite given by Altaria from his pocket, deeply puzzled.
Just as Terrance was about to see if the mysterious meteorite had gone through any new changes.
"Swishhhh~~~~"
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept over, and Terrance keenly noticed that the Oddish and Seedot in the grass instantly panicked and ran in all directions.
A powerful aura was rushing to this place.
"Mr. Steven?"
Terrance was slightly startled. From a distance, he recognized the visitor by the silver Metagross.
This Metagross gave him a feeling not less than that of Cynthia's Garchomp, and perhaps even stronger.
Not only that, the noble silver color also gave an inexplicable shock; he looked very handsome. If in a Pokémon Contest, just based on this, it would be enough to attract countless attention.
"I found you."
Seeing Terrance stopping ahead, Steven smiled.
After meeting Terrance the first time, he felt that the name sounded familiar, and coupled with his age and status as a Junior Breeder, Steven was somewhat interested.
Finally, after some confirmation and asking his friend, Wallace, he finally remembered who he was.
Terrance was the young boy who passed the Junior Breeder exam at the age of 10, as Wallace had mentioned nearly two years ago.
In these two years, Wallace had progressed further on the path of Pokémon Contest, not only did his strength not lag behind Steven's, but it was also faintly approaching.
Recalling Terrance, Steven suddenly became interested; after all, Wallace had praised Terrance a lot back then.
"Oh? Mr. Steven, is there something you need?" A big question mark popped up in Terrance's mind. When did he and Steven have any connection?
"It's just a personal matter," Steven smiled.
"This is my business card. I remembered you; I heard about you from my friend Wallace, Terrance."
"If you don't mind, we can get to know each other again."
"Wallace?" Terrance was surprised.
So, this Steven was friends with Wallace; no wonder he was so strong. Two people who can become friends must mostly be on the same level.
To be honest, when Terrance first saw this silver Metagross, he was very afraid. Even with his breeder level, he could tell the strength of this Metagross, which even outclassed "Altaria." For Terrance, it was still a difficult opponent to defeat.
"Is that so..." Terrance snapped out of it and was about to reach for Steven's business card.
However, unnoticed by him, a gleam suddenly flashed in Steven's eyes, looking at the mysterious "meteorite" in Terrance's hand emitting a faint halo.
"This is?!" Steven exclaimed in surprise.
As a stone maniac, he had never seen such a stone before!
An unknown stone, a stone never seen before, was a fatal attraction for Steven.
Steven didn't expect that Terrance would actually carry such a magical and precious unfamiliar stone with him.
"Could it be... you're also a stone maniac?" Steven suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Terrance looked bewildered, not knowing what Steven was talking about.
At the same time, Steven's interest in Terrance grew. Originally, he just wanted to become friends with a youngster with potential, which was also his habit as the successor of the Devon Corporation.
An excellent Breeder was a rare talent for any Pokémon-related company. Becoming friends with them early on had no downsides.
However, after discovering that Terrance was carrying a magical stone with him, Terrance suddenly began to shine in Steven's eyes.
