The cheers from the audience grew even louder, and the event organizers noticed that the viewership of the entire Edge Cup had reached its peak.
The live stream room for the Edge Cup is now full of:
"Wc, nb"
"666"
"What kind of Pokémon is this? It looks a lot like Primeape!"
"Primeape? Your Primeape is this strong?"
Such words have practically flooded social media.
When Roy returned to the contestants' preparation room, the remaining 126 contestants all came to the corridor to watch Roy and the Annihilape return victorious.
They were all full of questions. The remaining players were worried that if Tobias eliminated Roy, it would be their turn next.
Roy, however, did just that, kicking Tobias off his pedestal. But as soon as Tobias fell, Roy rose up.
Why does Roy seem harder to deal with?
"Roy!!!"*2
Steven and Wallace rushed out from the crowd.
Steven, suppressing his excitement, went to Roy's side, while Wallace, disregarding everything else, put his arm around Roy's shoulder and shook Roy repeatedly. The two were overwhelmed with emotion.
"Wow! Roy, your Annihilape actually annihilated two Legendary Pokémon in a flash!!!"
"Keeping this from your brother for so long? That's really too much! You have to treat us to supper tonight!"
Roy spread his hands out and flapped them twice like a duck flapping its wings.
"Keep it down! Keep it down! I only swiftly defeated two Legendary Pokémon; there's nothing to be proud of."
"Keep a low profile? I haven't seen you keep a low profile at all."
The cold words reached the ears of the three people and the other contestants.
Upon hearing the sound, Roy broke out in a cold sweat.
Agatha also came to the corridor leading to the players' preparation room.
In an instant, all of the more than one hundred contestants dispersed and returned to their preparation rooms.
Wallace and Steven gave Roy a "good luck" look, then said goodbye to Agatha and left without looking back.
The once spirited young Roy instantly transformed into a groundhog, revealing a goofy grin.
"Hey, teacher, you're here?"
Seeing that Agatha's eyes were still cold, Roy assumed she was unhappy with his earlier attempt to shift the blame, so he spoke in a flattering tone:
"Teacher, you know me. I'm shy, I don't like to show off, and being low-key is my defining characteristic..."
Are you shy?
Agatha thought this was the best joke she had ever heard in all these years.
How much alcohol is that for just a few dishes?
You practically want to stick your entire face to the Arena cameras!
Don't be angry, don't be angry...
Agatha chose to reconcile with herself, after all, she was the one who chose this apprentice in the first place.
Knowing Roy's character, Agatha simply gave Roy a look before walking deeper into the preparation room.
Roy followed closely behind Agatha with his head down.
Just as Roy was thinking about how to explain to Agatha, he suddenly saw Gengar, which was in the shadows behind Agatha, reveal a large face and make faces at Roy and Annihilape.
Gengar:(˘❥˘)
Roy:(๑•̀ɜ•́๑)
Annihilape:-_-#
After Agatha saw the sign for Roy's private preparation room (number 99), she gestured for Roy to open the door.
Roy swiped his number plate on the sensor on the door, gave it a gentle push, and the door opened with a click.
This was Roy's first time in his own preparation room; the day before yesterday, he and Wallace had squeezed into Steven's preparation room.
Agatha and Roy entered the preparation room.
Agatha glanced at her own shadow, Gengar, understanding, slipped through the crack in the door and went outside to guard the gate.
When did it evolve?
"It evolved this morning."
"So you were late because of this..."
Agatha looked at Roy's Annihilape.
"The Annihilape."
Roy reminded him.
"Is it also because of this Annihilape?"
"Yes. As you know, when I saw my Annihilape a couple of days ago, he was still the Primeape."
"Was that punch just now related to Primeape's evolution...?"
"Yes, it's the move I used during the battle when I lost control of Primeape, and this move is related to Primeape's evolution..."
Roy explained the evolution process of Primeape to Agatha in detail.
Agatha listened patiently and nodded. Roy was quite honest with her, basically answering all her questions.
"You spoke very well on the field just now. If anyone asks you later about how to evolve Primeape into Annihilape, don't say anything."
If they keep Infestation, just say that the evolution method was something Professor Oak and I at the Oak Research Lab asked you to keep secret, understand?
Roy never expected that Agatha would actually tell him to shift the blame to Professor Oak?
But does Professor Oak know this?
Faced with Agatha's unquestionable gaze, Roy wisely nodded.
"Also, you won't need to go to the Arena in Rustboro City anymore after this Edge Cup ends."
"Not going?"
Why?
Wasn't the plan to send him to the Advanced Division to achieve a 100-game winning streak?
"Because you'll only be protected once you're in Kanto; I can't always be in the Hoenn."
The news that Primeape can evolve again is already shocking enough, and the strength of the evolved Annihilape is undeniable.
Two punches instantly defeated two Legendary Pokémon. The key point is that Pokémon like Mankey and Primeape are found in almost every region, which is terrifying.
If word gets out about this Roy will definitely become the target of everyone's criticism, and then only that man will be able to handle it.
Sigh~
That brat has gotten himself into trouble again.
Agatha sighed on the surface, but a hint of pride welled up inside her.
"Oh, and if you get into any more trouble, just say Professor Oak taught you, understand?"
"I understand, teacher."
