After a brief introduction, Teacher Izumi informed Terrance about the current situation of the many Trainer's Schools and made a request for Terrance to give a lesson to the children.
"Teaching, huh..." Terrance felt a bit hesitant upon hearing this word.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather... whether in his past life or present, he was fundamentally a student. Teaching knowledge in front of a group of people was something he was genuinely worried about not doing well.
Even if he were to engage in a battle or a Pokémon Contest, he wouldn't be worried because he has undergone specialized training. However, this impromptu teaching was difficult for him.
"Hey... they're just a bunch of kids. Just talk about your stories casually; there's no need for any profound knowledge," Teacher Izumi said.
"..." It made sense, and Terrance found himself speechless.
"Alright then, I'll just say a few words casually," Terrance said.
Receiving Terrance's agreement, Teacher Izumi immediately smugly instructed Roxanne to call back the students, and A'Yue went to help as well.
At this point, Terrance began organizing the thoughts in his mind. He wasn't the kind of person who could speak off the cuff for half an hour...
"Wow, a Coordinator!"
"I'm looking forward to it."
"What's a Coordinator?"
"Are they as strong as Gym Trainers?"
A group of kids looked up, and one little girl with a runny nose tugged at Roxanne's skirt and asked.
In her eyes, Teacher Roxanne was quite strong.
"Coordinators... they are all amazing people," Roxanne smiled.
In her view, unlike Trainers, Coordinators were individuals who delved into the intricacies of Pokémon moves, and were masters at creating miracles.
However, most Coordinators might not live up to Roxanne's evaluation.
...
...
Looking at the rows of children sitting below, Terrance raised an eyebrow; he finally understood the challenges teachers faced.
Each of the kids below were sitting in all sorts of positions, some even picking their noses. It considerably dampened Terrance's enthusiasm.
However, considering the young age of these children, Terrance decided not to dwell on it too much.
At least... no one was causing trouble, indicating that this group of kids was still quite adorable.
"Hello, everyone. I assume you all know by now that I am a Coordinator. Let me introduce myself first; I'm Terrance, I'm quite happy to meet you all here today..." Terrance said.
There should be applause here, right?
Following Terrance's impression of how things usually went, there should have been applause at this moment. Fortunately, reality responded to Terrance, providing a rare moment of satisfaction.
Fortunately, right after he finished speaking, there wasn't a wave of voices echoing below: "How happy?!" "How happy?!"
"I don't think many of you know about the Coordinator profession, do you?"
"Let me briefly explain it to you in simple terms."
"Different from Trainers, Coordinators aim for the title of Top Coordinator in the Grand Festival. They are a type of Trainer who collects Ribbons by participating in Pokémon Contests."
"If we were to talk about the difference between Coordinators and traditional Trainers... it's probably how they use Pokémon moves."
"On the Trainer's stage, we often see passionate and intense battles. In contrast, on the Coordinator's stage, it's more about the clever use of moves, countering each other's moves, and defeating the opponent with a series of closely linked moves.
"Uh..." As Terrance was speaking, he saw a young boy below revealing a toothy grin, causing him to momentarily forget his words.
However, in the face of such a situation, Terrance was well-prepared. He had a definite backup plan, ready to handle any situation that arose.
"So, everyone, would you like to see how a Coordinator performs?" Terrance asked warmly.
"Yes~~~~~" scattered responses rang out.
Upon hearing that Terrance was preparing to give the children a live performance, A'Yue, Roxanne, and Teacher Izumi were momentarily stunned. Then, with excitement, they organized the children, "Everyone, quiet down! Big brother Terrance is going to perform for you. Be good and listen, no mischief, okay?"
Stepping out of the classroom door, they were met with the vast training ground outside.
Terrance hesitated for a moment. He initially wanted to use Altaria, but eventually, he abandoned that plan.
Since it wasn't a Pokémon Contest anyway, there was no need to constantly come up with new performances. In this case, it was better to leave it to Beautifly.
"Beautiflyyy~~~" Upon Beautifly's graceful entrance, the children looked on in amazement. Beautifly, a Pokémon familiar to the people of Hoenn, was well-known to the children. However, familiarity bred curiosity, and the children wondered what kind of performance Beautifly would put on.
Terrance's answer was...Electric Whirlpool!
As silk threads resembling silver chains shot up like a fountain, then, following the air currents, they spiraled in a rhythmic pattern.
The threads slowly formed the shape of a whirlpool, and then... "Crackle, crackle," the crowd, focused on Beautifly's move, heard a sound.
It was the sound of electricity. A current of electricity flowed into the threads, causing the white whirlpool to instantly change, shining with a golden light!
Compared to a year ago, Beautifly's performance was smoother and faster.
In just a dozen seconds, a golden whirlpool, covering over half of the training ground, towered above the children's heads, akin to a shimmering sea of thunder, similar to dark clouds devouring the lightning, creating a breathtaking sight.
Crackle——
Especially the process of the white whirlpool turning into the golden whirlpool further excited the children.
The stark contrast between the before and after scenes heightened the aesthetic beauty and impact of the golden Electric Whirlpool, elevating it to a whole new level.
On the continuously swirling Whirlpool, golden electric currents flowed, emitting a dazzling, scorching glow, as if adorned with a layer of gold. It resembled the sparkling waves on a golden sea, a spectacle that could only be described as miraculous.
The same combination of moves performed in different settings still evoked the same level of shock.
Teacher Izumi stared blankly at Terrance's performance. He hadn't expected that a Coordinator who was just here for a tour would possess such skills.
As for A'Yue, despite having met Terrance once, he was completely unaware of his Coordinator skills.
Roxanne, on the other hand, nibbled on her finger, gazing at the Electric Whirlpool in slight astonishment, a thought forming in her mind... She wanted to…
Have a Gym Battle with Terrance!
As a Gym Trainer, she suddenly realized she had never battled an outstanding Coordinator.
Terrance ended it quite successfully, but what made it awkward for him was that, immediately after finishing, the group of children suddenly surrounded him, shouting, "I want to learn it! I want to learn it."
Unbeknownst to those present, Terrance had inadvertently created a group of potential students for the Trainer's School's Coordinator Class.
Then... seeing that Terrance was in an awkward situation, the others quickly rescued him from the kids' encirclement. However, at that moment, Terrance received a message.
The sender of the message was...….Steven.
After quickly glancing through the contents of the message, Terrance's expression changed. Steven had confirmed the origin of the meteorite, and the true nature of this meteorite left Terrance dumbfounded.
He had never expected that the meteorite Altaria gave them had such a significant legend.
However, based on the information provided by Steven, it seemed that the other party had truly put in a lot of effort; most of the information about the meteorite was detailed and thorough.
