Just as Roy was about to help Steven away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a long-haired man outside the Pokémon Center.
Roy froze the moment he saw the man.
He had seen this man before.
Is it Tobias?
The champion of the Sinnoh League Lily of the Valley Conference, Legendary Pokémon Pokémon.
This face clearly resembles Tobias's; there's absolutely no way he could mistake it.
A mysterious character who suddenly appeared in the anime. No one knows where he came from, where the two Legendary Pokémon he possessed came from, or what his other four Pokémon were.
At the Sinnoh League Conference, the opponent used two Legendary Pokémon, Darkrai and Latios, to defeat Ash's six Pokémon, shattering Ash's championship dream in the semifinals.
Finally, they won the Sinnoh League Championship with just one Darkrai.
The key question is, how did he end up here?
And judging from their appearance, they also seemed to be queuing up to register.
Is he also participating in this year's Edge Cup in Hoenn? And what is his purpose in participating in the Edge Cup?
Steven, who was being supported beside him, didn't understand why Roy had such a shocked expression. He followed Roy's gaze and saw a man with long, curly hair.
There's nothing strange about men having long hair, is there?
Doesn't Wallace also have long hair?
Tobias felt as if someone was watching him. He turned his indifferent gaze to look around but found nothing. Was he being too sensitive?
After Tobias turned around Roy released Steven's shoulder. Steven by Roy's sudden outburst, asked:
"You know him?"
Roy nodded, then Knob.
"That man is dangerous, he... is very strong."
Steven didn't understand what Roy was talking about.
"Very strong?"
"Yes, he's very strong."
Upon hearing Roy's admission, Steven was stunned for two seconds. This was the first time he had ever heard Roy admit that someone who wasn't necessarily much older than them was very strong.
Steven turned to look at Tobias, silently memorizing the man. He wanted to see just how strong someone Roy considered to be was.
Wallace understand what the two were saying, and asked:
"Very strong, how strong? Does he possess Legendary Pokémon or something?"
Roy turned to look at Wallace in an instant, "You've watched the anime too?"
After having ramen at the food court in Ever Grande City, the three arrived at the arena for the Ever Grande Conference Tournament, the Battle Arena for this competition.
Roy had only ever seen this Arena in anime.
The entire Battle Arena is built on a huge lake, consisting of dozens of small islands, four medium-sized islands, and a large island in the center of the lake.
Each island has a small Arena connected by man-made bridges; this is where the preliminary rounds are held.
All the smaller islands lead to four medium-sized islands and one of the largest islands in the center of the lake, where the semi-finals and finals are held.
Since the preliminary rounds start tomorrow, the venue has been sealed off. Steven led the two to a hotel run by a subsidiary of Devon Corporation, which was packed to capacity today due to the competition.
Steven had three top-of-the-line rooms reserved for the three of them before they arrived.
Just as the three were about to enter the hotel, a man dressed like Alai from the Meteor People approached them. The man's gaze swept over the three of them and finally Lock-On on Roy.
The man had black hair and slightly raised eyebrows. Although he didn't speak, Roy could sense the arrogance emanating from him.
The man glanced at Roy briefly, then his eyes were full of indifference, as if he didn't care about Roy at all.
"You're Roy?"
"Who are you...?"
Roy didn't remember ever seeing the man in front of him before.
"You don't need to know who I am. Just remember, don't lose too badly so far. I want to see just how strong those blessed by the Dragon God really are."
After saying that, the man turned and left, as if he had come all this way just to say that one sentence, leaving Roy completely bewildered.
Is this how you pretend?
Wallace said he knew him; the person from earlier was the son of the Meteor People chief that Steven had mentioned to him in the car, and his name was Cade.
Could it be because...?
Wallace nodded to Roy; that was the reason.
It turns out that ever since Rayquaza blessed him, the Meteorites who came from Meteor Village have been keeping an eye on him.
But don't worry, Roy is blessed by Rayquaza, so they definitely won't use any underhanded methods.
Their goal was to defeat Roy head-on and show Rayquaza that they were the ones truly deserving of the blessing.
Moreover, this Cade is one of the top young talents among the Meteor People Dwellers. A month ago, his Trump Card, a Garchomp at the peak of the Pseudo-Elite Four, was just a little short of breaking through to the early Elite Four. I wonder how he is now.
"You were also blessed by Rayquaza?"
Steven asked curiously.
"Maybe Rayquaza thinks I'm too cool. Sometimes being cool is a problem... Sigh~ Don't go! Wait for me!"
Roy quickly caught up with Steven and Wallace, who had already entered the hotel elevator.
