The group boarded Bus bound for the Safari Zone. Along the way, they first passed through the Kalu Tunnel, where the various oddly shaped rocks caught their attention.
Especially Sano Tianyu, who was peering out the window at the view.
The scenery along the way was something he could never see in Sinnoh.
The Dusclops pressed its face against the window, gazing outside with scarlet pupils as it watched the scenery flying backwards.
"A ghost!!!"
Occasionally, explorers in the tunnel would be startled when they suddenly saw a bandaged face and scarlet pupils in the Bus window in the dark tunnel.
The frightened person released a wisp of fear energy that drifted toward the Wandering Dusclops, who completely ignored it. Two years ago, he might have treasured this ability.
But he couldn't be bothered to absorb that fear energy now; it wasn't even worth a small Pokéblock Roy made, and it didn't taste good either.
Cynthia noticed that even on the Bus, Primeape was still using the tablet Communicator Roy had bought for him, wearing headphones and watching videos.
A series of illogical behaviors aroused Cynthia's curiosity.
Roy's Primeape is completely different from any other Primeape she's seen in Sinnoh.
Normally, it's always quietly watching videos on its tablet, occasionally making a fist gesture, never making a sound, just like an invisible monkey.
If it weren't for the Pokédex can scan it, Cynthia would have thought it was Ditto.
Cynthia wanted to see what Primeape was looking at, Primeape she quietly peeked behind Primeape and looked at the tablet in its hand.
The Primeape sensed the presence of Cynthia and turned around, only to meet Cynthia's beautiful eyes, creating an awkward atmosphere.
However, Primeape only glanced at Cynthia before turning his head away, ignoring Cynthia and continuing to watch the match.
This was the first time Cynthia had been ignored by a Pokémon, just like her rock-type Pokémon Trainer.
Seeing that Primeape didn't care, Cynthia was able to see what Primeape had just been looking at.
Inside an octagonal cage surrounded by barbed wire, a creature with Machamp, 2 meters behind it and with a pair of thick arms on its back, was wrestling with a Conkeldurr.
Facing the stone pillar thrown by the Conkeldurr, the two arms behind the Machamp caught the pillar, while the other two arms opened to the left and right, punching the Conkeldurr with one or two punches.
Seeing this, Cynthia couldn't understand why Machamp didn't use Swords Dance to boost himself, and that there wasn't a single Pokémon Trainer throughout the entire match, except for the referee outside the octagon.
If you can't figure it out, why not ask the Primeape's Pokémon Trainer?
Cynthia patted Roy, who was playing with the Snorunt, and asked him why.
Roy explained that the Primeape is currently watching a pure Fighting type tournament unique to Fighting type Pokémon. The rules of the tournament are that no moves can be used, and there are no Pokémon Trainer to command the Pokémon; it relies entirely on the Pokémon's Fighting type skills.
Can't you use skills even without Pokémon Trainer?
Cynthia was also just learning that there were such competitions for Fighting type Pokémon. After Garchomp defeated Primeape last time, Cynthia realized that Roy's Primeape was indeed quite strong.
If Garchomp's Rough Skin hadn't interrupted Primeape's first attack, the outcome would have been uncertain.
After explaining to Cynthia, Roy continued to tease his Snorunt, playing rock-paper-scissors with it. The Snorunt's hands were round, just like Doraemon's, so you didn't even need to think to know what it would choose.
However, Roy definitely wouldn't let his little cutie lose, so he kept throwing scissors to make Snorunt happy.
The Misdreavus, who was watching Roy and Snorunt play, pouted and squeezed into Roy's arms, even though she was Roy's little cutie.
She thought the Pokémon Egg would hatch into a good sister for her, but unexpectedly, it hatched into someone who would compete for her affections, even though she was the one who followed Roy first!
She is the rightful wife!!!
I should have let the Dusclops sit on the egg before the Snorunt even Shell Smash.
"Snow~~"
Snorunt, clinging to Roy's arm, suddenly raised his voice and squinted at the Misdreavus to the side.
The Misdreavus thought, "How dare the Snorunt Taunt me? It's just a little bit! Anyone can do that!"
"Dream~~"
"They are all, they are all, they are all my little darlings."
Roy absolutely cannot get involved in a battle between women; he can't afford to mess with either of his Pokémon, so he can only hold one in each arm.
After appeasing this one, they appeased that one.
Snorunt even made a face at Misdreavus when Roy wasn't looking, unaware that Roy had seen everything.
I never expected that my Snorunt would be such a scheming little green tea b*tch.
Green tea is great, it's so refreshing...
