“Several main Pokemon, some reserve main Pokemon that haven’t reached the top tier, plus thirty-six Ribombee that have mastered Baton Pass as support—the Fairy Army has now fully taken shape. Besides that, I should also start paying more attention to several other team compositions…”
Aside from the Fairy Army, Terrance was not without other sources of strength.
Although the Fairy Army had relatively few limitations, it still could not handle every possible situation. Considering unexpected circumstances, Terrance needed to prepare more tactics.
While he did not have a large number of Pokémon, each one possessed distinctive characteristics, and most had been trained around weather.
Frogadier had also begun specialized Rain training, with a very clear goal in mind.
Both it and Togetic were considered future main Pokemon for Terrance. Besides integrating into the Fairy Army, Frogadier also had the potential to become part of a Rain team.
Then there was Terrance’s diva group, which offered plenty of possibilities as well.
This Pokémon team that Terrance had deliberately raised currently consisted of four Pokémon with top-tier vocal talent: Eevee, Popplio, Lapras and Cherrim.
Along with one member he had yet to find, Jigglypuff.
Given the opportunity, these Pokémon would also be integrated into Terrance’s lineup. After all, each possessed rare talents, and failing to train them seriously would be a waste.
Besides the Fairy Army, Terrance and Rotom Pokédex had also designed four weather teams.
Each of these weather teams was built around Castform as the core.
Sandstorm Team: Castform, Tyranitar, Diancie, Mawile…
Rain Team: Castform, Frogadier, and potentially Lapras and Popplio in the future.
Snow Team: Castform, Ninetales, and later Lapras and Popplio…
Sun Team: Castform, Arcanine, Beautifly, Cherrim… and even Altaria could be incorporated into it.
After their analysis, Terrance and Rotom Pokédex simulated special environments in which the Fairy Army could not function effectively. Their conclusion was that the Sandstorm Team and Sun Team possessed the greatest combat power, while the Rain Team and Snow Team were somewhat lacking.
Of course, aside from that, if the diva idol group could eventually take shape, they might also be able to develop sound-centered tactics and form a Singer Team.
However, whether weather or singer, their role was ultimately to serve as secondary combinations supporting the Fairy Army. As the Fairy Elite Four, Terrance’s core fighting force remained the Fairy Army.
Without it, he simply could not display the level of strength expected of an Elite Four.
Another two days passed, and Terrance submitted a request to the Hoenn League for forty-eight Grass-type Pokémon proficient in the move Grassy Terrain, while also gathering a large quantity of Power Herb seeds.
Immediately afterward, he opened up a section of land on Mt. Chimney dedicated to growing Power Herbs.
Within this area, forty-eight Grass-type Pokémon proficient in Grassy Terrain would accelerate the plants’ growth every day. Once the Power Herbs reached an age of one hundred years, they could be harvested. Terrance wasn’t sure how much real time that would take, but it would certainly consume a tremendous amount of stamina from those Grass-type Pokémon. To ensure that these temporarily borrowed Pokémon could continue working normally, Terrance also constructed a facility that enhanced sunlight in the area.
Under Castform’s Sunny Day, even with constant growth acceleration, these Pokémon expended very little stamina.
Meanwhile, Beautifly was primarily responsible for security in the area. At the same time, it peacefully practiced the golden energy bestowed upon it by Mew and the Tree of Beginning through solar energy, working hard to perfect its Source of Stamina technique.
“The deduction of Aura martial art is complete, Roto!!”
Several more days later, Rotom Pokédex finally completed its simulation of the Aura martial art, and Terrance immediately began training in it. Before this, he had also used his Elite Four privileges to obtain a more advanced meditation method. In order to adapt to his exclusive Z-Move, Terrance had never relaxed his standards for himself. Both the Aura martial art and the advanced meditation method were prerequisites for mastering the Z-Move.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, two months passed amid the diligent training of Terrance and his Pokémon.
During this period, the training of Pokémon such as Beautifly, Altaria, Mismagius, Arcanine, Castform, Gallade, Ninetales, Tyranitar, Gardevoir, and Diancie did not require any special attention from Terrance; they were all improving steadily as per routine.
Aside from them, Togetic, which had been diligently practicing Metronome, achieved preliminary mastery of four new moves after Teleport, Fire Pledge, and Skill Swap: Moonblast, Baby-Doll Eyes, Misty Terrain, and Play Rough.
Because of their similar type affinity, mastering these four moves through Metronome took far less time than the previous three moves. However, their proficiency still required further training.
After forcibly memorizing the natural frequencies of four more moves, Togetic’s mental capacity reached its limit for the second time. It seemed that it would need to evolve again before it could continue training with Metronome.
As for Frogadier, it gradually adapted to the special training as well.
It quickly mastered Rain technique and was currently striving toward top-tier Rain mastery. In terms of ninja techniques, Frogadier also underwent devilish training under Rotom Pokédex’s guidance.
Terrance and Rotom Pokédex had investigated the ninja culture of this world and discovered that basic ninja training primarily consisted of five aspects: balance, agility, strength, endurance, and special techniques.
Because of the differences in combat style, the training methods for these areas differed somewhat from conventional training. The first four aspects were manageable. By combining the strengths of various schools of thought, Rotom Pokédex developed the most suitable training methods based on Frogadier’s situation. As for special techniques, Terrance discarded a variety of weapons and chose shuriken as Frogadier’s primary weapon.
The main reason was that Greninja could learn the move Water Shuriken. Under high pressure, the destructive power and sharpness of Water-type moves were no inferior to steel weapons. Furthermore, thanks to water’s properties, it would allow Frogadier to better integrate the move Toxic into its combat style.
A ninja who could not use poison was not a good ninja. With its Protean Ability, Frogadier’s use of poison would be exceptionally terrifying.
“Time passes so quickly…”
“Ash is already close to Mauville City, huh?”
On this day, Terrance received a message from Hiyoko. After following Ash’s group, they had finally discovered Jigglypuff’s whereabouts.
“I was originally ready to give up on Jigglypuff, but who would have thought it would actually cross the ocean and come to the Hoenn region.”
Terrance smiled helplessly and began preparing to head to Mauville City to check on the growth and progress of the divas.
After entrusting Cherrim to Hiyoko, Terrance had not paid much attention to developments on that side. During this period, because neither Team Magma nor Team Aqua had made any major moves, Terrance had immersed himself completely in training and had scarcely paid attention to events in the outside world.
After training for so long, it was time to stretch his muscles a little. If he could successfully recruit Jigglypuff, the Pokémon Diva Idol Project would finally be able to begin operating.
