"As expected of Brother Ogaru." In the crowd, a young girl smiled as she looked at the Dragonite and spoke.
"Do you know that contestant on the field?"
A few people nearby heard the girl talking to herself and quickly gathered around to inquire.
"Uh…" The girl furrowed her brows slightly and replied flatly, "Don't you guys watch the League Conference? Brother Ogaru was once the Silver Conference Champion."
Silver Conference... Champion?
The people surrounding the girl looked toward the field. That young man looked quite unfamiliar to them; they hadn't expected someone like him to hold such an honor.
A League Conference Champion was considered a very well-known Trainer.
Especially someone so young. Just like Officer Jenny had said, even if he didn't become a police officer, with his skills as a Trainer, he wouldn't do badly in any other profession either.
MPE: 1425 points.
It wasn't until this point that Terrance barely managed to perk up.
Now he finally had a suitable reference value. That Dragon Rush just now was stronger than when his Swablu had just evolved into Altaria, but not strong enough to be considered a whole level above.
In other words, this Dragonite's strength at most was on par with his Altaria from two years ago. It couldn't be significantly stronger.
"So without realizing it… I've already gotten this strong?" Terrance touched his nose, then chuckled inwardly. Forget it, he was currently aiming to challenge Elite Four-level Trainers with his Mega Altaria. There was no point in comparing it to anyone.
The event continued.
Dragonite, Salamence, there were quite a few powerful Pokémon of that caliber appearing. It could be said that this event was a feast for the eyes of the audience, as they got to see more than one rare and powerful Dragon-type Pokémon.
Later on, there were even Trainers who scored over 1000.
One Trainer with a Hydreigon even surpassed the dark-cloaked youth's score, reaching 1500 points.
Even by then, Terrance still hadn't gone up. Although he wasn't the very last contestant, his turn was scheduled quite late. So he had plenty of time to watch the others' scores.
After observing for a while, Terrance realized. It really didn't seem like anyone could pose a threat to him. Then he turned his head slightly and looked toward a blonde-haired woman not far to his left. At this rate, it seemed that only Cynthia's younger sister might pose a threat to him?
He wasn't sure whether this Shivana would go up before or after him. If she was after him, then Terrance wouldn't be able to hold back Altaria's strength at all.
Just as Terrance looked toward her, Shivana seemed to sense his gaze and looked back at him.
Terrance shrugged slightly, then withdrew his gaze. But right after, he was momentarily stunned, because out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shivana walking out.
"The next contestant… ah, yes, Miss Shivana."
The referee smiled as he looked at the woman approaching.
Shivana. Up until now, she had only participated in two events. Though she didn't win either, no one doubted her strength.
As for which two events she had entered. Both had ended with Albus taking the victory.
She walked slowly onto the field, stopping not far from the MPE machine, then she immediately threw out a Poké Ball.
"Garchomp, Dragon Rush."
In the next instant, a deep blue light flashed from the Poké Ball. Then the light burst forth into intense, dark-blue flames. With.flames wrapped around its entire body, Garchomp charged forward at an extremely high speed.
"Boom!"
The dark-blue flames collided against the MPE machine, unleashing astonishing shockwaves that swept outward like a gust of wind.
Many women's long hair were blown up by the shockwaves, and people covered their mouths and noses, staring at the MPE machine in shock.
"Could it be broken?" This thought arose in many people's minds.
This move's power was just far too terrifying.
However, the MPE machine was clearly not that easy to break. The referee swallowed nervously, quickly walked over to the machine, and stammered out the number.
"31...22...3122!!"
"Three thousand one hundred and twenty-two!!" Repeating it again, the referee rubbed his eyes, confirming that he hadn't seen it wrong.
"Whoa, that's way too exaggerated. Could the machine be malfunctioning?" A previous contestant was dumbfounded.
The previous highest record had only been just over 1500, and this Shivana, she actually doubled the score again?!
"This girl's score is way too abnormal!" Many people exclaimed in shock.
"Abnormal? You should say it lives up to her reputation. She is, after all, the Champion of this year's Pokemon World Tournament Junior Cup." Someone spoke up to defend Shivana.
The Pokemon World Tournament Junior Cup—while not an official main competition like the League Conference or the Champion League—was still an extremely prestigious Trainer competition. Moreover, it was a global event in which young Trainers from all regions could participate!
It could be said that even some outstanding Trainers from the Champion League might not necessarily win the championship if they entered the Pokemon World Tournament Junior Cup.
And with the age restriction in place, the Champion of the Pokemon World Tournament Junior Cup was undoubtedly of a very high caliber.
"Master Cynthia's younger sister, huh? She's pretty impressive." Trainers and Coordinators from Sinnoh, upon seeing Shivana's strength and recalling the rumors about her identity, suddenly felt it all made perfect sense.
Cynthia's younger sister was supposed to be this strong.
"Tch, such annoying expressions." Seeing that look on so many people's faces, Shivana snorted coldly in her heart.
"So Miss Shivana is actually this strong. It looks like the limitations of the previous two events' rules just prevented her from showing her full strength." Many people suddenly understood.
"This score..." At some point, Officer Jenny had picked up a microphone, her face filled with shock.
If the earlier 1000+ scores were still within her understanding; after all, quite a few police officers had transitioned from outstanding Trainers, and she had seen plenty of people like that—
But!
3122...
Officer Jenny swallowed hard. From what she knew, even within the Hoenn police system, most officers were nowhere near this level of strength.
"What do you think about this score, Officer Jenny?" As Officer Jenny just opened her mouth, many people started shouting.
After seeing such an exaggerated number, they were eager to know what it actually represented.
"A score of... 3122... That's already considered an extremely high score." Officer Jenny organized her thoughts and spoke slowly: "Even among the special forces in our police system who are primarily responsible for combat, this score is extremely rare."
"In fact, this score could easily make her one of the top candidates even in the Investigator's exam!"
Terrance looked at the astonished Officer Jenny, and a judgment had already formed in his heart.
He... didn't even need to let Altaria undergo Mega Evolution to win this event!
