The Pokémon League's warehouse is also divided into sections for items: a carrying area, Evolution Stone, training materials, and Ruins items...
Furthermore, all the evolution stones, Pokémon, and held items in the warehouse are of perfect quality.
For example, the octagonal stone with a metallic sheen in front of Roy.
Item: Hard Stone (Perfect)
Effect: When equipped, the power of Rock type moves is increased by 15%.
Roy's eyes were dazzled by the sheer number of items in the warehouse, which showed that the Hoenn League had a very rich foundation. He wished he could take it all.
However, Roy was overthinking it. The fact that he was allowed to come in and choose any item was due to the huge benefits offered by the Hoenn League to encourage new Pokémon Trainer.
Roy and Damaranch wandered around the warehouse, and soon his eyes were drawn to a green Mega Stone.
Item: Venusaurite
Effect: A magical Mega Stone that allows Venusaur to Mega Evolution during battle when held by Venusaur.
Etc!
Mega Evolution was only announced a few days ago, and Venusaur already has its Mega Stone. The Hoenn League is incredibly efficient!
Damaranch also noticed Roy's gaze; he too saw the Evolution Stone, and the surprise in his eyes was impossible to hide.
"This Evolution Stone was collected by the Hoenn League a few days ago and has been identified as the Mega Stone of Venusaur. If you want it, I'll have to apply for it."
"No need, I'll just take a look."
Roy glanced at it and left; he didn't own Bulbasaur and wasn't interested in the Mega Stone.
Damaranch quickly contacted the staff to put away Venusaur's Mega Stone. How could they leave something like that here?
After browsing through both the Held Item and training item areas, Roy still couldn't find what he was looking for.
Unwilling to give up, Roy ventured into the Ruins and artifacts area, hoping to find some valuable items.
Upon entering, a sense of antiquity immediately greets you.
Most of the Ruins found at the site are old objects and stone tablets unearthed from ancient Ruins, with inscriptions of ancient characters.
If Cynthia were here, she would be very excited.
However, he let it go; he had no interest in the historical scrolls and artifacts found in these Ruins that were only of collectible value.
After searching for a long time, there was still nothing here that interested him.
Just as Roy was about to leave in disappointment, an object with a peculiar shape and an antique feel, consisting of two large black spheres flanking a smaller sphere, caught his eye.
This is!!?
Roy used the system's scanning function, but the system didn't react at all.
Can't it be scanned?
Although the System Scan, Roy recognized the strangely shaped object composed of three spheres at a glance.
This is from the original Pokémon Original Series, where Ash and Brock accidentally opened a Ruins during a battle, attracting an archaeological team and Team Rocket lurking in the shadows.
That night, while no one was watching, Team Rocket's Jessie ordered Arbok to retrieve some treasures from the Ruins. As a result, Arbok brought out these three black spherical stones and summoned the Ancient Gengar.
At the time, one of the young archaeology PhDs on the archaeological team was also mind-controlled by another spoon and an item called the Golden Eye, which caused him to summon another ancient Alakazam.
Back then Ancient Gengar and Alakazam fought, almost causing another world-ending disaster. Even Jigglypuff's Sing couldn't help.
In the end, it was an ancient bronze bell at the entrance of the Ruins that summoned another Ancient Jigglypuff.
The Ancient Jigglypuff used Hypnosis to put the two of them to Hypnosis, and in the end, all three of them returned to the Ruins together.
Some people say that the Gigantamax in later generations were inspired by that episode.
Roy never expected to encounter something like this here, and he was going back to Kanto with Agatha in a few days to see Professor Oak.
Speaking of whether I should...
Roy remembered that the location of the Ruins in the anime was not far from Pallet Town. At that time Ancient Gengar's ability was to suck anyone it came into contact with into a space inside its body.
Although the Ancient Gengar was very strong and he couldn't beat it, Roy had an even stronger one. He looked at the Luxury Ball that was full of cracks.
"President Damaranch, I want this!"
Damaranch saw what Roy was talking about, following the direction Roy was pointing.
An old, dusty, Spider-Man-themed, unidentified object consisting of three black spheres appeared before his eyes.
????
Damaranch was completely puzzled.
What does Roy need this for?
He felt he understood Roy less and less. This guy was completely different from everyone else; while others wanted Evolution Stone, he wanted to challenge the Elite Four.
Pokémon on the Pokémon League Breeding Island? And why not take the Venusaur Mega Stone from earlier?
Instead, he took a liking to three black spheres linked together that were rather useless and had a peculiar shape.
"Are you sure you want this? Once you've chosen it, there's no going back."
Roy nodded, his tone very certain.
"I'll take this one."
Damaranch; it was Roy's own choice, and it had nothing to do with him.
Damaranch told Roy to wait outside for a moment.
Roy waited outside the warehouse, trying to strike up a conversation with the Roy, asking about his salary, social security, and so on...
No matter how Roy asked, the two guards completely ignored Roy, so Roy had no choice but to give up and quietly wait for Damaranch come out.
After a while, Damaranch handed Roy the three black orbs that could awaken the Ancient Gengar.
The three black spheres were surprisingly light when I held them.
When Damaranch brought Roy back to Ever Grande City, Roy excitedly ran to Agatha's side.
What did you take?
When Agatha saw Roy's excited expression, she assumed he had found some treasure.
When Roy took the three black spheres out of his Spatial Bracelet and placed them in front of her, she was completely baffled. This wasn't Held Item, was it?
"What... what is this? The reward you chose?"
"Um!"
Don't be angry, don't be angry...
Perhaps these three black ones have some special purpose, but Agatha looked at them for a long time and still couldn't figure out what the three black spheres in Roy's hand were for.
This was an extremely rare opportunity, and Roy just took it?
"Teacher, I sensed a strong Ghost type aura emanating from these three black spheres. Maybe I can use them to summon something strange."
A strong Ghost type aura?
Agatha didn't sense any Ghost type aura from it; wasn't it just three black spheres?
But considering the special energy within Roy's body, it was hard to be sure that the three stone spheres were truly useless.
Since things had already come to this, Agatha said to Roy in an annoyed tone:
"Go back and pack your things; we're leaving tonight."
"Tonight? So soon? I haven't even visited two food streets yet!"
Roy didn't understand why Agatha was in such a hurry to leave.
"About ten research team members will be coming to ask you about the Bond Evolution the Annihilape and the Misdreavus tomorrow. If you want to stay, you can stay here."
"Go! We must go!"
Roy felt a headache coming on as soon as he heard about the research team. Just as Roy was about to go back to the hotel to pack his luggage, he found Lei Ye, the host of the Edge Cup, waiting for him at his room door.
