Pokémon Court-Chapter 306: Breaking Out of the Cocoon and turning into a Butterfly

Tick… tick… tick…

The countdown ticked away, and this complex and grand performance still hadn’t ended.

It wasn’t until a green hue appeared around the giant white cocoon, imbuing it with a layer of strong vitality, that a sudden rumble and tremors surged across the enormous cocoon.

“The cocoon… it’s trembling!” Sensing the changes on the cocoon, Vivian shouted in a voice brimming with excitement as she waved her microphone, her gaze fixed on the center of the stage.

Buzzzz~~~

Buzzzz~~~

Buzzzz~~~

In that instant, it was as if everyone had gone deaf for a moment, followed by a muffled rumble, as amidst the green hue, two different-colored scenes quickly swirled up.

One part was silver.

The other part was gold.

In the split second that this change occurred, there was a loud “boom!” and the enormous cocoon exploded. The green hue was swiftly replaced by a somber golden color!

A howling gale erupted, originating from within the cocoon. Like a flurry of sharp knives, the wind sliced through the white cocoon from the inside out with decisive force, fragmenting it from every direction. The moment the cocoon exploded, the gale arrived at just the right moment, steady yet swift, bursting the cocoon open at once, creating a sense of coordinated beauty.

The vitality dispersed, and a somber air rose.

This wind, like a tyrant destroying all life, swept through with a deadly golden hue. It tore the silken threads apart in an instant, leaving no room for doubt about its power.

Countless strands of white silk were blown high into the sky and, under this fleeting golden wind, eventually turned into tiny fragments falling down like snowflakes.

At this moment, the color of the wind also changed. The golden hue faded quickly, replaced by a brilliant silver. In just a few seconds, it felt as though the audience had witnessed the transition from spring and summer to autumn and winter.

The green turned to gold, but was soon replaced by silver.

The transparent silver, combined with the neatly shredded pure white silken threads swirling around, truly resembled a blizzard.

Beautifly descended from the sky, and while everyone’s attention was on the stunning changes, few noticed that Terrance had quietly walked to the center of the stage, waiting patiently for Beautifly to land on his arm.

Throughout this entire process, Terrance had been watching intently. To him, this wasn’t just a performance — it was a condensed representation of everything he and Beautifly had experienced together.

His breeding concepts, coordination concepts, training concepts, and countless techniques… all were encapsulated in this performance.

But more importantly, it symbolized the journey he had shared with Beautifly. He had witnessed Beautifly’s transformation from Wurmple breaking out of its cocoon into a butterfly. Terrance’s feelings about this performance was something that no outsiders could ever imagine.

The performance mirrored the changing seasons, just like Beautifly’s growth journey. It was the culmination of countless hours of Terrance and Beautifly’s hard work, and it could be said to be their everything.

Infused with their hard work and emotion, even though outsiders might not understand the implication of this performance, they were still infected by the Coordinator and Pokémon standing at the center of the stage and felt a pang in their hearts for some reason.

“They’ve grown…” In the far away Old Green House in Slateport City, Grandma Arlan wiped her eyes and smiled knowingly as she looked at the children whose eyes were shining. This was the scene she had always longed to see.

…

…

“The performance… is over…” Vivian finally snapped out of her trance, speaking with deep emotion. “This is the most unique performance I’ve ever seen… Contestant Terrance and his Beautifly have given us a truly perfect performance!!!”

Below the stage, thunderous applause erupted out, which echoed for a long time.

Even the judges, who were about to give their comments, took a moment to gather their thoughts before speaking slowly. freēwēbnovel.com

“If I’m not mistaken, that wind was essentially Silver Wind, mixed not only with Stun Spore but also a rare item—Silver Powder.”

“I have to say, both the formation of the cocoon and the process of breaking free from it are extremely difficult. If it weren’t for the Silver Wind being enhanced by Silver Powder to increase its cutting power, it wouldn’t have been possible to create such a stunning scene. Contestant Terrance has been very well prepared.”

“Exactly! It reminds me of the amazing move Contestant Terrance used during the preliminary round. At that time, it was also Silver Wind. By synchronizing with the air currents and Beautifly’s dance, the Silver Wind showcased an incredible blend of beauty and power, displaying the true essence of coordination.”

As the judges gave their commentary, footage from Terrance’s appearance in the preliminary round, which only the live audience could see, was replayed on the big screen.

Silver Wind, a move that uses powdery scales carried by the wind to attack the opponent. However, under Beautifly’s performance, it sparkled like countless stars in the endless sky—dazzling and intoxicating, filled with a dreamlike mystery. Accompanied by Beautifly’s dance, the Silver Wind resembled a brilliant galaxy, with twinkling stars appearing and disappearing, harmoniously enhancing each other’s beauty.

The audience, seeing this scene for the first time, could hardly comprehend how Silver Wind was transformed into such a breathtaking visual. The level of control over the air currents was beyond what any outsider could understand.

Four years of training have finally borne fruit!

“So beautiful,” said the people at Old Green House, who could appreciate this beautiful scene the most. Wasn’t this the same scene from when they had accompanied Terrance and Wurmple, gazing up at the starry sky?

Seeing Terrance and Beautifly’s performance in the preliminary round, along with their stunning display in the main competition, everyone at Old Green House could feel their heart warm up, deeply proud of both Terrance and Beautifly.

Gazing at the replay, Raoul Contesta couldn’t help but marvel at the scene of countless powdery scales, flickering with a silvery sheen like a galaxy flowing backwards: “If Contestant Terrance had used Silver Powder in the preliminary round, his score might have been even higher than 96.”

Even without the main competition’s performance, countless viewers, watching the replay of Terrance’s move in the preliminary round, began to accept that the score was well-deserved.

The title of “Supernova” was well-earned.

Indeed,.the most talented rookie Coordinator in recent years, Terrance, was truly remarkable.

…

…

“Alright, it seems the judges have finished scoring.”

“Now, let’s see what Contestant Terrance’s final score is!”

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the big screen by Vivian’s words — audience members, contestants, and judges, all with different emotions.

But none of this could change the significance of the score. Everyone was dying to see how many points Terrance’s spectacular and perfect performance would earn!

98 points.

A total score of 98 points!!

Surprise, shock, confusion, dissatisfaction — the moment the score appeared, countless audience members erupted with their individual emotions, questioning the result.

Why wasn’t such an outstanding performance given a perfect score?!
