Roy walked up to the command seat opposite Drake.
It's definitely unrealistic for both sides to engage in a 6v6 Pokémon battle.
Roy's current Pokémon are no match for Drake's, so Roy and Drake are having a 1v1 exhibition match.
The official referee for the event thought he was about to go home, but he ended up having to work overtime again. However, he was quite happy to do so this time.
Drake looked at the boy opposite him, thought for a moment, and then took out one of his second-tier Pokémon.
A Flygon appeared in the Arena.

The crowd was somewhat disappointed that Drake didn't send out his Trump Card, Salamence, but seeing Drake in action made the ticket well worth the price.
Is it the level 80 High-level Elite Four's Flygon?
Roy was still very nervous, even though he had Agatha's High-level Elite Four Gengar him during his previous training sessions.
But when the battle actually began, the Pressure emanating from the High-level Elite Four Flygon, still made his heart tighten.
"Misdreavus! Misdreavus! Misdreavus!"
The audience was eagerly anticipating Roy's return with his Bond Phenomenon -Bond Evolution Misdreavus, after all, Misdreavus's evolved form had thoroughly overpowered Cade.
Whew~
Roy took a deep breath. He did not disappoint everyone's expectations and took out the Poké Ball of Misdreavus, which had not had a chance to play in the finals.
A flash of red light
The Misdreavus appeared in the center of the Arena.
"Answer my call, Misdreavus! Bond Evolution!!"
The Ghostly Purple energy around Roy reconnected him with the Misdreavus, and blue evolutionary light enveloped Flutter Mane.
Special Attack Type - Flutter Mane.
Audience:????
Wasn't it a purple light during the last evolution?
This evolving light even changes color?
"Misdreavus (Flutter Mane), let's go!"
"Dream!"
Frost condensed on the red orb in front of Misdreavus (Flutter Mane). Although the Flygon in front of her put her under immense pressure, she remained fearless!
Hehe~
Roy followed behind Damaranch face, which made Agatha, standing to the side, look disgusted and distance herself from Roy, as if she was afraid that Roy had some serious illness.
"What, are you happy to be Drake?"
"Huh...? No."
The outcome of Roy's battle with Drake goes without saying; it would be truly strange if he won. This isn't a game where a level 60 Flutter Mane can easily kill a level 80 Flygon.
If Flutter Mane reached level 70, he might have been able to put up a fight with his skills, but for now, forget it; he's just here to ride the Popularity Points.
"Your mouth is practically splitting all the way to your ears, and you're still saying you're unhappy?"
Agatha was confused. Could her apprentice be a masochist?
Why didn't I notice it back then?
Of course, Roy wouldn't tell Agatha that he was happy because a single battle had brought him 4 million Popularity Points.
4 million Popularity Points!
While Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) is very effective against Dragon-type Pokémon, the level difference between the two is currently too great.
Above the initial Elite Four, each subsequent level represents a significant leap forward.
However, with the 30% boost to Special Attack Booster Energy, the Dazzling Gleam from Flutter Mane actually dealt considerable damage to the Flygon.
The audience members in the arena all stood up to cheer for Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) when they saw this.
Even Drake on the other side was amazed by the damage from Flutter Mane. For a beginner-level Elite Four to achieve this against High-level Elite Four is already quite impressive.
Roy clearly remembered that Drake gave him a thumbs-up after defeating him and invited him to visit his ship.
"It is my honor to receive guidance from Elite Four Drake."
So you mean I'm not good enough?
Upon hearing Agatha's words, Roy immediately backed down and his demeanor changed completely:
"How could I dare challenge you, teacher? If I had to choose between the two Elite Four, I'd definitely pick the weaker one to challenge!"
Agatha knew Roy was flattering her, but who doesn't like to hear nice things? Once again, Roy managed to get away with it.
However, she was well aware that her current strength was inferior to Drake's; Drake's second-tier Pokémon were now almost comparable to his main force.
"Roy, let's go."
Now that the exhibition match with Drake is over, Damaranch is taking Roy to collect their championship prize.
"Okay, President Damaranch."
After agreeing to Damaranch, Roy turned to Agatha and asked for her permission:
"Teacher, I'm going now."
"Um."
The award ceremony was held on two small islands not far from the Pokémon League headquarters in Ever Grande City.
Even a regional Elite Four like Agatha couldn't accompany them, so Roy could only travel to the island under the guidance of Damaranch.
Damaranch whistled.
A Corviknight, nearly 2 meters tall when standing upright and with a wingspan of nearly 5 meters, appeared in the air, its body seemingly covered in armor and steel feathers.
The Corviknight was gripping a wooden carriage in its claws.
The idea of making Corviknight a flying mount was learned from a company called "Galar Taxi," mainly because Corviknight has excellent flying ability and a smart mind, and can remember routes clearly.
As a native bird of Generation VIII, Corviknight is also quite powerful. While it only has two weaknesses, fire and electricity, it has a total of eight resistances and possesses a unique Gigantamax form.
Roy remembered seeing characters like Chairman Rose of the Galar region's Pokémon CG shorts, and Bea riding in these "air taxis."
Roy and Damaranch entered the carriage.
Damaranch shouted to the Corviknight above:
"Corviknight, we can set off."
The Corviknight gripped the carriage and carried the two of them into the air, taking off steadily.
