Upon seeing Roy, Lei Ye rushed to Roy's side and grabbed Roy arm, afraid that Roy would run away.
"My champion! I've finally found you!"
Looking for me? What do you want?
Roy was a little confused; hadn't the final already been played?
"The fight's over, but you haven't even had your championship photo taken yet!"
According to the official rules of the competition, the champion of each year must have a final photo taken for settlement. He waited and waited at the Arena but Roy did not return, so he had no choice but to wait for Roy at the hotel entrance.
Taking photos? Taking photos is great!
Lei Ye released his Charizard, carrying Roy back to the largest Arena in the middle of Ever Grande Lake.
The set was still the same as during the awards ceremony, but now there were only a few people in the Arena waiting for Roy to arrive for a photo.
Roy took out the trophy from his Spatial Bracelet and released all seven of his Pokémon.
He held Snorunt in his arms, Misdreavus and Lampent on Roy's shoulders respectively, and Dusclops and Annihilape close to Roy on either side.
Drakloak Levitate in mid-air, and behind Roy was the massive Palossand, who had only fought 3 matches and had been coasting along the way.
Because the Palossand is so big, we could only take photos from a distance, but then the Snorunt looked a bit too small.
Upon learning this, Roy simply brought his Pokémon into the interior of Palossand and stood on the upper wall.
This technique completely baffled the photographer, but it does now allow them to photograph all the Pokémon.
"Come on, Roy, lift your trophy and give me that signature smile you wear in the Arena."
"Hey! That's right!"

The photographer pressed the shutter.
The first player to win an official tournament with an all- Ghost type Pokémon team has emerged.
After receiving his reward and taking photos, Roy was going to return to the Kanto Region with Agatha. Roy said goodbye to Steven, Wallace, Erika, and others at the port of Ever Grande City.
Wallace was still angry with Roy and Steven for secretly acquiring their own cheat codes without telling him.
Don't be angry...
"Don't touch me! You two hypocrites, I hate people like you the most..."
Hey!... What are you putting in my hand...? This is the key...!!!
Wallace was still pretending to be aloof, but when Steven stuffed a shiny Key Stone into his hand, Wallace's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but shout out.
Roy immediately covered Wallace's mouth, silencing the "stone" that Mikoli was about to utter.
There are still so many people at the port.
He knew that Wallace to hold back.
Wallace knew the importance of keeping one's wealth hidden, so he quickly gripped the Key Stone tightly. Then he heard Roy whisper in his ear:
"Actually Starmie can also undergo Mega Evolution."
My own Starmie can also Mega Evolution?
"True and false?"
Wallace looked at Roy with a puzzled expression. He clearly remembered that Starmie wasn't on the official list of Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.
However, when he saw Roy and Roy standing next to Steven nodding confidently, he believed Roy's words and began to imagine what his Starmie would look like after Mega Evolution.
After all, the appearance of Cade's Mega Garchomp, Gurkinn's Mega Lucario, and Steven's Mega Aggron all improved significantly after Mega Evolution.
I imagine my Starmie is pretty much the same.
Wallace asked Roy softly:
"Roy, will my Starmie be cool after Mega Evolution?"
Seeing Wallace's expectant look, Roy wondered whether he should tell Wallace that Starmie stood up and stretched its legs, it would Mega Evolution.
I wonder if the official team, in an attempt to compensate for the design flaws in the character's appearance, directly adopted a remedy of making up for the lack of visual appeal with numerical stats.
After giving Mega Starmie decent stats, it also gave the opponent an Ability that countless Legendary Pokémon desire: Huge Power.
Effect: Doubles the power of physical attacks.
This gives Mega Starmie a certain numerical appeal, considering it boasts an Attack stat of 140 while also possessing the Huge Power Ability.
Who can keep their composure under such circumstances?
(You agree, right? Toilet King?)
Roy forced a smile and replied:
"Um... handsome! He's handsome in a numerical sense!"
What does it mean to be "handsome" in terms of numerical attributes?
Never mind, as long as he's handsome!
Wallace instantly changed his tune, putting his arms around Roy and Steven's shoulders and calling them "good brothers" repeatedly.
The trio reunited.
Steven and Wallace haven't had much to do lately, and plan to stay in Ever Grande City for a while longer before returning to their respective cities.
Erika tugged at Roy's sleeve, reluctant to say Roy, especially after learning that Roy might not be returning to the Hoenn for some time.
Second Kiku patted Roy on the shoulder. He had always thought Roy was a bit frivolous, or to put it simply, too arrogant.
But Roy's fight with Drake really stunned him. He never thought Roy would dare to challenge Drake to a fight. Now he would call Roy the most courageous young man he had ever met.
He also reminded Roy not to forget his promise of 100 consecutive wins in the Advanced Division at the Rustboro City Dome Arena.
After achieving a 100-win streak in the Advanced Division, he will take Roy to the Dome Arena in the Unova Region to challenge the current Unova Region champion Alder.
Alder?
That's right, the current Unova Region champion, Iris, is probably still in school.
If Second Kiku hadn't mentioned it, Roy wouldn't have remembered the character at all, since the other character was practically just a background character in the anime.
The opponent's character design in the game is quite good; the role of the Traveling Champion is to lead the regional gym leader against n.
"Good!"
Roy certainly wouldn't refuse such a offer of Popularity Points.
Ziyu, who was standing next to Second Kiku, said that Roy must visit Blueberry Academy when he comes to the Unova Region in the future, because their dean, Xilan, wants to meet Roy.
"Yeah, I'll bring my Reverse Plusle to the Blueberry Academy."
Ziyu looked completely bewildered. What was this "Reverse Plusle" thing?
Aren't there only Plusle and Minun?
Roy's response was simply, "Reverse Plusle is Reverse Plusle."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Roy and Agatha headed towards a ship at the port bound for Lilycove City. They would transfer in Lilycove City to return to Vermilion City in the Kanto Region.
"Roy, let's have another match next time we meet."
Steven called out to Roy as he watched Roy board the ship.
"You should take care of your health first. You're so weak, don't tell anyone you're my brother when you go out!"
Remember to exercise every day!!!!
Steven gave Roy the middle finger and watched him board the ship bound for Lilycove City.
