Watching Roy say goodbye to his friends one by one, Agatha was reluctant to admit it, but she was actually a little envious. To have a few close friends in life is already a great fortune.
The fact that Roy has so many friends shows that he is well-liked and has a good character.
It was already late at night when the master and apprentice arrived in Lilycove City; the cruise ship bound for the Kanto Region wouldn't arrive until the next day.
Apart from them and the passengers who had just disembarked, the port of Lilycove City was eerily quiet.
Roy remembered that the last time he and Cynthia came to the port of Lilycove City, there were many people sunbathing on the beach. Although it was late now, there should be at least one person there.
Whew~
A newspaper flew by in the wind.
Just as Roy was about to reach out to take it, Gengar, emerging from the shadows behind Agatha, peeked out and snatched the newspaper from Roy.
After catching it, Gengar pretended to be an office worker and flipped through the newspaper in his hand, making comments while chuckling.
Then Agatha gave him a cold look, and Gengar was stunned by Agatha's gaze. He handed the newspaper to Agatha with a fawning expression and then retreated into Agatha's shadow.
Hmm~ Your own teacher is scarier than a ghost, I doubt anyone would believe that, right?
The large headline caught Agatha's eye, and after reading it, Agatha handed the newspaper to Roy was standing next to her, looking curious.
[Pokémon riot has broken out on the outskirts of Lilycove City, resulting in dozens of deaths. Our reporter advises residents to avoid the suburbs during this period to prevent further incidents...]
The report was accompanied by a photo that would have been censored even in his previous life: a man lying in a pool of blood with two large holes in his chest, clearly dead beyond any doubt.
But his eyes still held shock and disbelief.
The newspaper published it yesterday.
Roy felt that the man in the newspaper looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.
According to newspaper reports, the entire outskirts of Lilycove City have been invaded by Bug-type Pokémon, the exact reason for which is unknown.
There are no Gym in Lilycove City, let alone Elite Four members. Security is entirely managed by Officer Jenny from the League Police Bureau.
Now that this has happened, could this be the reason why there are so few people at the port of Lilycove City?
Just as Roy was thinking, a buzzing sound came from afar, and the sound was getting closer and closer to them.
Some passengers, like Roy and his group, who had just disembarked, were also confused about what was happening, but they knew it couldn't be a friendly sound, so they retreated back onto the ship.
In the darkness
With the help of the harbor lights, Roy was able to see the source of the buzzing sound.
A swarm of bees with somewhat peculiar appearances appeared. They appeared to have three beehives, each with a face; the two faces on top each had an antenna, and each had a small wing on the side. These Combee...
At this moment, Combee wore Rage expressions, and upon seeing Roy and Agatha, they immediately formed an attack formation and swooped down towards them.
"Danger!"
As the yellow figure suddenly appeared, a familiar warning sound came from afar.
Before the dozen or so Combee could unleash their skills, Gengar, hidden in Agatha's shadow, stood in front of Roy and Agatha, swatting away the dozen Combee that attacked them with a few slaps, their fates unknown.
The person who sounded the alarm was revealed by the lights; it turned out to be an officer from the League Police Bureau and Officer Jenny.
Officer Jenny climbed off Growlithe, her eyes filled with surprise. The Gengar in front of her had killed the Combee with a single slap, and without breaking a sweat.
"Sister Liya?"
"Roy? You're back from Ever Grande City?"
Upon hearing Roy's voice, Officer Jenny, who was leading the group, was also taken aback.
Just two months ago, Roy killed Hunter J on the outskirts of Lilycove City, and just two days ago she watched Roy's match in Ever Grande City on TV.
I didn't expect to run into him again so soon.
"Sister Liya, what was that about those Combee earlier? And what's the content of this newspaper...?"
Roy held up the newspaper that had been blown in by the strong wind.
Don't even mention it...
Officer Jenny Liya been very busy these past few days. Another hunter has appeared in Lilycove City for some unknown reason. All they know is that this hunter's code name is X, and they don't know if he's here to avenge Payback Hunter J.
Around the same time that Hunter X appeared, Bug-type Pokémon from the outskirts of Lilycove City began to appear in the city for some unknown reason.
At first, they thought these Bug-type Pokémon had accidentally wandered into the city, but through further observation, they discovered that the Bug type seemed to be searching for something.
Before she could report to her superiors, the swarms of insects outside Lilycove City began to gather on Route 121 and on the outskirts of Lilycove City, and the Bug Tide rioted for the first time this evening.
Moreover, it's not just in this direction; the port area has also been invaded by Combee, so the citizens of Lilycove City are all staying at home, and the entire Lilycove City is in a state of panic.
She had already asked several nearby Gym Leader for help in the evening, but only the closest ones were expected to arrive in the early hours of this morning.
Now is not the time to chat with Roy. Officer Jenny grabbed Roy and was about to go support the front line of the Bug Tide. There was Pokémon Trainer.
She had already seen Roy's current strength on TV; he was definitely a very strong asset.
When Officer Jenny Liya was in Roy, she suddenly noticed the woman behind Roy; the woman exuded an aura of melancholy.
"Roy's brother, this..."
"This is my teacher, Agatha, the Ghost type Elite Four member of the Kanto Region."
Elite Four!?
She said he looked familiar, and it turned out to be Agatha of the judges' panel in the Edge Cup.
Who would have thought that the other person was Roy's teacher!?
Great! Lilycove City is saved.
If Roy was only used for conscription in the past, now that there are Elite Four level Pokémon Trainer, Bug Tide are no longer a threat.
Logically speaking, the Elite Four of each region should only be responsible for the affairs within their respective regions and should not arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of other regions.
But now things are urgent and we can't worry about that anymore.
If this drags on any longer, and all the Bug-type Pokémon in the forest invade Lilycove City, it won't just be a dispute anymore, but a war between Pokémon and humans.
Furthermore, there are now not only Bug-type Pokémon in the outskirts of Lilycove City, but also some other types of Pokémon that live in the forests surrounding Lilycove City, which have been swept down to the outskirts of Lilycove City by the Bug Tide.
"Elite Four Majesty, we beg your assistance."
Officer Jenny Liya bypassed Roy and looked earnestly at Agatha. She knew that Agatha was the only Elite Four member who was closest to the battlefield and could immediately rush to resolve the Bug Tide Elite Four.
After learning what had happened, Agatha nodded silently. She knew how terrifying it would be if such a large number of Pokémon gathered together.
This type of Bug Tide must be eradicated before it sweeps through Lilycove City, or the consequences will be absolutely incalculable.
When Officer Jenny Liya Agatha, she was thrilled and first arranged for the police officers behind her to take care of the passengers on the ship.
Agatha, Roy, and Officer Jenny rushed to the main battlefield of the war.
