Terrance and Ash, Brock, and Misty did not stay at Cinnabar Gym for long.
After leaving Cinnabar Gym, Ash and the others also planned to depart.
In fact, through the battles at the Tree of Beginning and on Cinnabar Island, Ash had already roughly understood the gap between himself and Top Trainers.
Watching Terrance face a Legendary Pokémon with such ease filled him with envy. With the Silver Conference approaching, Ash had already resolved to follow the training plan Brock had made for him and would not stop until he completed it.
“Brother Terrance, then we’ll be heading off first.”
The next day.
Ash and the others said their farewells to Terrance and prepared to head to Silver Town to get ready for the Silver Conference. At this point, there was a little over a month left before the conference began.
“Mm, do your best. Also, if you’re interested, after the Silver Conference is over, you can come travel in the Hoenn region. I’d be more than happy to welcome you.”
Before Ash left, Terrance did not forget to remind him, further reinforcing the idea of traveling to Hoenn in Ash’s mind.
“Sounds great!!” Ash nodded excitedly at the invitation.
However, after Terrance finished speaking, Brock’s expression turned strange. Somehow, that conversation sounded as if Terrance had already concluded that Ash had no chance of becoming the Silver Conference’s Champion…
Forget it, forget it…
Maybe he was just overthinking things.
Terrance paid close attention to Ash’s departure. First, because the Silver Conference was about to begin, and Ash’s upcoming journey might be connected to the appearances of Groudon, Kyogre, and even Rayquaza. Second, because that Jigglypuff Terrance had taken an interest in might appear by Ash’s side at any moment.
Somewhere on Cinnabar Island.
Hiyoko listened to Terrance’s instructions, nodding repeatedly.
“Next, your group should head to the Johto region and simply follow behind Ash and the others along their route. Also, prepare one or two Pokémon with the Soundproof Ability, they will come in handy when you encounter Jigglypuff in the future.”
“It would be best if you meet Jigglypuff along the way, but if you don’t, there’s no need to be discouraged. There will be plenty of opportunities later.”
After taking over the Pokémon Diva Idol Project, Terrance naturally assumed full responsibility for it. He had reviewed the proposal Hiyoko had compiled. According to the plan, the diva group was originally intended to have five members. At present, two spots were still vacant. Since the first three members all possessed top-tier vocal talent, Terrance had no intention of letting Hiyoko cut corners with the remaining two. He wanted her to continue searching for Pokémon with equally top-tier vocal talent.
It was a long-term project, and Terrance himself was not in any particular hurry. He intended for Hiyoko to continue carrying it out according to the original plan.
As for the aspects he personally wanted to get involved in, it was still too early to act. He would need to discuss them carefully with Rotom Pokédex before making any decisions.
As for returning to Hoenn, that would happen within the next couple of days. He had already stayed in Kanto long enough, and there were still many matters waiting for him back in Hoenn.
…
…
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Terrance soon returned to the Hoenn region. To his surprise, perhaps because they had noticed the Hoenn League’s movements, or perhaps because they were secretly planning something major, the activities of Team Magma and Team Aqua suddenly decreased during this period.
Compared to the busy pace of the previous two months, with the missions targeting Team Magma and Team Aqua decreasing, Terrance began shifting his focus back to his primary duties.
The position he was responsible for involved the popularization of basic knowledge throughout the Hoenn region. Hoenn already possessed a complete educational system in this regard, and as someone who had only recently taken office, Terrance had no need to implement major reforms. Maintaining the existing educational system was enough; he only needed to carry out some specialized tasks.
For example, after returning this time, he received the assignment to popularize knowledge of the Fairy Type.
As the world’s only Fairy Type Master and the Pokémon League’s first Fairy Elite Four, Terrance held a unique status with tremendous promotional value. Naturally, he did not refuse the assignment. For him, it was not even particularly difficult.
At present, whether in academic circles or the Trainer and Breeder community, knowledge concerning the Fairy Type was far too fragmented. There were all kinds of different theories. Even a move like Dazzling Gleam had no fewer than three or four different analyses attached to it.
Some Professors were still arguing over the type classifications of certain Pokémon.
Hoenn League hoped that Terrance would write a book on Fairy Type knowledge, establishing him as the representative figure of the Fairy Type. This would benefit both Terrance and the Hoenn League.
Thus, after returning to Hoenn, Terrance immediately began gathering all available Fairy Type materials on the market and reorganizing them alongside the information recorded in Rotom Pokédex.
If this task had truly been left to Terrance alone, it would have been an enormous undertaking that could have taken an unpredictable amount of time. It was intended as a long-term assignment. However, no one expected Terrance to compile everything at incredible speed.
He had an advantage.
Rotom Pokédex contained comprehensive Fairy Type knowledge originating from several years in the future.
By that time, the Fairy system had already been clearly established and incorporated into the Pokédex. The information had been organized to an extremely complete degree.
All Terrance needed to do now was incorporate some obscure knowledge and his own insights. After that, he could easily complete an encyclopedia dedicated to the Fairy Type.
Half a month later.
Terrance had already finished the book.
It included detailed or general information on fifty Fairy-type Pokémon, as well as information on more than ten Fairy-type moves.
In addition, it contained material on Fairy-type plants, ores, and various rare treasures.
60% of it was re-organized by Terrance using currently known data, which can be considered as removing some incorrect claims and then condensing it countless times. Of course, he also added numerous conclusions that had yet to be discovered in the present era. More importantly, he included a great deal of personal insight throughout the book.
Having studied the Fairy Type for so long, Terrance possessed unique perspectives on it. Although high-end knowledge like the essence of Fairy energy could not be included, there were plenty of little tricks hidden in this book, enough to suddenly enlighten many Trainers who specialized in raising Fairy-type Pokémon.
However, Terrance did not present these little tricks in a straightforward manner. Rather, he concealed them quite deeply, requiring readers to think for themselves. It was by no means an idiot-proof guide. Anyone hoping to reap rewards without effort would be disappointed.
If someone could derive Fairy-type training methods from the book and turn them into their own knowledge, it would only prove that they possessed considerable talent and were suited to becoming a Trainer specializing in the Fairy Type. Terrance merely served as a guide leading them onto the path.
After completing the book, Terrance did not release it immediately. He delayed for roughly another half month before it finally entered the market.
As for its title, Terrance named it 《The Secrets of the Fairy Type》.
