The Dragon Tamer from the Jubilife Academy retrieved his Flygon without saying a word and silently left the arena.
He was completely numb; all his previous battle experience was useless against that Dusclops.
He wasn't the only one who fell silent; almost the entire audience was silent, and many had only one thought in their minds.
This is absolutely disgusting!
They can't beat them in a fight, and they can't escape them either.
Especially the freshmen in the beginner class of the Rustboro Academy, who had never seen Roy in actual combat before, all had a new question in their minds after seeing him this time.
Is no one going to smother Roy?
"Old Jiang! I'm sorry, I should have told my student to go easy on me. Look at the mess this has made."
Although the Mediterranean Director said those words, his tone was full of schadenfreude.
The headmaster of the Jubilife Academy, standing next to the Mediterranean Director, was ashen-faced. He simply couldn't understand how a Dragon Tamer Pokémon on the field.
The battle is not over yet, because it's a tournament format, which means the next student from the Jubilife Academy will have to fight Roy.
Seeing the Dusclops standing steadily on the battlefield, the students from the Jubilife Academy, who had been pushing and shoving each other, suddenly became well-behaved and polite, each wanting the other to go first.
The first Dragon Tamer to board was the strongest among them, and they had originally planned to gain an advantage by relying on him.
Now look what's happened; we've directly provoked a great demon king.
"Tianyu, why don't you go first?"
I'm going up????
A boy with regular features, clean-cut eyes, a healthy tan complexion, and about the same height as Roy was pushed forward.
"Yeah, Tianyu, didn't you say that Brother De would charge ahead and you would stay behind as the last line of defense?"
"But this isn't how you cushion the back row, is it? I still..."
"Stop with the 'buts,' hurry up and go! Your Aggron is the least affected by Trick Room; everyone else either brings Swellow or Staraptor."
"Isn't the third brother's Durant also a Steel type?... Don't push me!!"
A boy named Sano Tianyu was pushed and shoved onto the battle stage by the crowd.
"Please send out your Pokémon."
Referee Officer Jenny spoke to the boy who had been forcibly pushed forward.
Oh well, I'm going to die sooner or later anyway!
Let's give it our all!
Sano Tianyu took out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of red light, a giant steel beast about 3 meters tall and covered in iron armor appeared on the battlefield.
"Roar!"

Is it a level 42 Aggron? Judging from its level, it probably just evolved recently.
No matter how much you yell, take this Will-O-Wisp first.
Aggron's massive size allowed it to enter Trick Room as soon as it entered the field. Compared to Flygon, which has a base Speed stat of 100, it adapted to Trick Room much faster.
However, its base speed stat of 50 is still twice that of Dusclops.
The Ghostly Purple Will-O-Wisp around the Dusclops once again coiled around Aggron. Due to Aggron's large size, the Will-O-Wisp were clearly visible as they clung to its body.
Aggron felt Burn sensation in her body and looked uncomfortable.
Sano Tianyu's expression also turned grim on the command platform.
If we keep dragging this out, we'll eventually be worn down. We might as well take a gamble; maybe we'll have a chance.
"Aggron, use Rock Slide!"
Upon hearing the command, Aggron stomped its foot on the ground, creating a huge crater in the ground where Onix had Dig Onix, from which broken rocks emerged.
Aggron controlled the shattered rocks and hurled them at the Dusclops.
The Dusclops within the Trick Room were exceptionally agile, twisting and turning as they faced the rocks attacking them, yet not a single one hit them.
Seeing that none of his shots hit, Sano Tianyu stopped letting Aggron waste its energy and instead ordered Aggron in close combat with Dusclops.
"Aggron, use Heavy Slam!"
Skill: Heavy Slam
Effect: Attacks by ramming your heavy body into your opponent. The heavier you are than your opponent, the greater the power.
Aggron rammed into the Dusclops, who was half a body shorter than him, and he was going to send the bandaged fat man flying!
Sano Tianyu didn't actually expect Aggron to collide with Dusclops.
After all, the opponent only needed to wait for their Aggron the Will-o' -Will-O-Wisp to win, but Dusclops just stood there without moving, showing no intention of dodging at all.
Great opportunity!
As long as we can crash into it...
Sano Tianyu's eyes were filled with Covet for victory, but his gaze quickly changed.
The moment Aggron collided with the Dusclops, its pupils dilated, filled with disbelief.
Because his Aggron didn't even manage to knock down Dusclops; instead, it was blocked by Dusclops and pushed back a little.
??...??
This doesn't make sense!
Last week, he took his evolved Aggron to the company's special instrument for measuring the weight of ore to measure its Aggron 780kg.
This is because his Aggron's Ability include Heavy Metals, which doubles its weight.
In other words, this Dusclops Aggron?
So that was negative damage just now????
No way... is there no justice left?
S~
Sano Tianyu suddenly wanted to go back and discuss with his teammates whether they could surrender and lose half the game, and then one of them could surrender and knock Roy out.
That's incredible!
But what's even more intense is yet to come.
After pushing Aggron, Dusclops's hand was imbued with fighting spirit again.
Seriously, bro!
You know the Ice Punch, fine, but you also know the Focus Punch?
Are you trying to kill us?
Now is not the time to be surprised. Sano Tianyu knows that the Focus Punch requires Stockpile. As long as Aggron can interrupt the opponent before the Dusclops can use it, the Focus Punch will fail.
He immediately gave instructions to Aggron:
"Aggron, use Iron Head to ram him! You have to interrupt him!"
It's somewhat common sense, but the Dusclops isn't stupid; it won't stand there waiting for the other party to interrupt.
The red eye of the Dusclops took effect once again, and the Pressure made Aggron suddenly stand still.
Then, to the astonishment of his opponent, Aggron took the hit of the Focus Punch.
A powerful Focus Punch of 150 struck Aggron's armored belly, knocking Aggron to the ground.
