Seeing Salamence struggling in battle, Drapion was about to help Hunter J when he found that the annoying Primeape and that cheeky Spiritomb were blocking his way again.
Most of his injuries were the result of Feint by that Spiritomb. Every time he tried to finish off the Spiritomb with a single pincer strike, Primeape would block his way and interfere.
This feeling of having power but nowhere to use it is truly unbearable.
Needless to say, Ariados was being chased by the Misdreavus. At this moment, he wished he could grow two more spider legs so that all eight legs could be used to escape and avoid the Misdreavus's attacks.
The Misdreavus was like a magic machine gun, unleashing a barrage of skills, sometimes even releasing dozens of Shadow Ball only 2cm in diameter, leaving the player unable to attack or run away.
As the faint sound of an alarm rang out in the distance, several small black dots appeared in the sky not far away.
Upon hearing the alarm, the kindergarten director immediately encouraged his staff:
"It's the League Police Bureau and the Prosecutor! Everyone, hang in there!"
Hearing that reinforcements had arrived, the morale of the park's guards and Rangers was boosted, and they even launched a counterattack against the hunters. They also followed the Misdreavus, sending their Pokémon to attack the hunters directly.
The goal is to capture these hunters who dare to invade.
"A bunch of useless trash!"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Hunter J glared at Roy, who had ruined her plans, and, ignoring her subordinates, used Poké Ball to recall her Drapion and Alistar.
At the same time, a white sphere was thrown at Roy.
Roy didn't know what it was, nor did he dare to catch it. He dodged the small white ball, and the moment it hit the ground, a mist spread out from it.
Smokescreen bomb?
She's trying to escape!
Knowing the other party's purpose, Roy was about to give chase when he was instantly choked by the pungent Smokescreen. By the time he used his Ghost Power to dispel the Smokescreen, he found that Hunter J was already dozens of meters away.
Seeing that Roy was about to chase after him, Cynthia beside him grabbed his arm and Knob.
Don't pursue a cornered enemy. If you really push them too far, they might pull out something they can't handle.
Moreover, her Garchomp was barely clinging to life, and after seeing Salamence leave, Garchomp collapsed to the ground, revealing its circular eyes, and lost its ability to battle.
Roy calmed down as well. Indeed, even if he caught up with the opponent, if the opponent's Salamence only kept running away, then he really wouldn't be able to do anything.
(Don't worry, it will happen, and it'll be the other side deliberately sacrificing themselves. This is connected to the later chapters of the story, letting the other side run away first.)
When will I be strong enough to openly and honestly Flutter Mane to the world, regardless of external doubts?
Seeing their leader, Hunter J, flee, the other hunters instantly lost their leader and scattered, each seeking their own way out.
They knew that given the crimes they had committed, being caught by Officer Jenny and the Prosecutor's men would mean certain death.
The more fiercely the hunters fought, the more pathetically they fled. Many hunters didn't even have time to recall their Pokémon before escaping into the depths of the forest.
Want to escape?
Let's see if the guards and Roy agree.
We let Hunter J get away just now, do you think we can let you get away again?
No one knows the forest paths better than the guards and Rangers who work year-round in the Safari Zone.
The Rangers did not immediately chase into the forest. Instead, they glanced at each other and then sent out their Pokémon from different entrances to Pursuit enemy.
The park director handed Roy a map, on which were marked several roads that were the main routes through the Safari Zone's forest area.
Roy and Cynthia entered the forest and, using a map, found a panicked hunter who had lost his way. Both of his Pokémon had been defeated, and he was unfamiliar with the forest's routes; now, he was facing certain death.
Seeing Roy catching up, the hunter leaning against the tree stood up, took out a gleaming dagger, and held it horizontally in front of him, preparing for a final stand.
He knew that being caught by the guards would mean certain death, and being caught by Officer Jenny would also mean certain death. But when he saw Roy catching up, a different thought arose in the hunter's mind.
Why not take Roy hostage? Maybe we'll have a chance to escape...
With his accuracy Beginner Martial Artist, dealing with a mere kid would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?
Thinking of this, the hunter stood up and Taunt Roy:
"Kid! Dare to have a real man's Fighting type one-on-one? Don't hide behind your Pokémon like a girl. I won't use weapons; I'll show you what a beginner Fighting type is all about."
After saying that, the hunter threw the dagger on the ground and looked at Roy with disdain.
He knew the Pokémon Trainers in the Pokémon League; they were generally arrogant and would easily lose their temper if provoked.
Upon hearing the other party introduce himself, Roy immediately became interested, as this was the first time he had ever met a beginner- Fighting type fighter.
He wanted to see his current Fighting type level; even if he couldn't beat his opponent, he still had the Ghost Power.
Cynthia was about to warn Roy to be careful, but when she thought about Roy's inhuman training routine, she suddenly felt that it was the hunter opposite them who should be reminded.
Seeing that Roy was actually "provoked" by him and dared to go forward alone.
The hunter's lips curled into a smile, and a white, transparent thread suddenly appeared in his hand. In an instant, he retrieved the dagger he had just thrown to the ground and rushed towards Roy.
The dagger in his hand was poisoned.
A flash of cold light appeared, and Roy stepped back. The hunter's thrust missed its mark. Before he could stab Roy again, he suddenly realized that his arm was immobile. It turned out that Roy had already reached his side.
No! How could he be so fast?
He was just now...
Before the hunter could even process what was happening, he felt a sharp, excruciating pain in his arm. Roy had grabbed his arm, the one holding the dagger, and twisted it forcefully.
The hunter's arm twisted grotesquely like a pretzel, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, and the dagger in his hand fell uncontrollably.
Ignoring the hunter's screams, Roy delivered another whip kick to the hunter's waist.
The moment the shin struck the hunter, he flew into the air like a leaf blown by the wind, then landed on the ground with a "thud," and remained motionless.
A guard, worried that the hunter was faking his death, approached him and checked his breath. As expected, the hunter was thoroughly dead.
And...
The guard touched the hunter's arm again and found that the entire arm had gone limp, and he could no longer feel any bone inside. The spot where Roy had just kicked him had caved in.
How much force did that take?
After easily defeating the hunter in front of him, Roy looked puzzled.
Is this guy really a Fighting type?
Even though Agatha had told him that according to the standards for testing Fighting type, he wasn't even a Beginner Martial Artist at his current level.
Agatha couldn't possibly lie to him, could she?
That must be the hunter in front of me lying to me.
Pooh!
That's it! And you dare to lie and claim to be Beginner Martial Artist?
As for the other hunters who escaped, there were guards and Rangers in the Safari Zone.
They are much more familiar with the Safari Zone than I am, and the Pokémon in the forest will also help them, so there's not much to worry about.
The Misdreavus also came to Roy's side. In this battle, she killed a total of 6 hunters and also held off Ariados, who was one level higher than her. She proudly raised her head and waited for Roy's praise.
Roy, of course, wouldn't disappoint the Misdreavus, and using child psychology, he praised Misdreavus highly.
"What about the Misdreavus's skills being the most accurate, its Icy Winds being the coldest, and its lights being the brightest...?"
He praised every single jewel from head to toe, down to the one around his neck.
The praise was so overwhelming that the Misdreavus floated into the air.
Just after praising Misdreavus, Snorunt returned to Roy's embrace from its Poké Ball. Knowing that Roy had just gone through a battle, it quickly checked Roy for any injuries and offered to blow on them.
She doesn't have much fighting ability right now.
But she'll feel sorry for him.
After the battle ended, Roy discovered that the Primeape, which had fought against Drapion was much stronger than itself, and the Feint several hunters, had also broken through to the Pseudo-Elite Four Misdreavus.
