Roy, who had been standing tall and proud, knew something was wrong when he saw Agatha's cold gaze, and ran to Agatha side.
Agatha watched Roy jog over, grabbed Roy ear with one hand, and with the other hand, gave him another sharp rap on the head. This rap was because Roy had disobeyed and run around.
Agatha was shocked that Roy would be so bold as to take Officer Jenny deep into the Bug Tide that was about to invade the city.
It seems I haven't been giving him enough training. When we get back to the Kanto Region, I'm going to train Roy to the bone!!!
Interestingly, Roy is almost a head taller than Agatha, and now he's being scolded by Agatha with her ear being pulled.
The female reporter felt she'd seen Roy somewhere before, and the photographer beside her whispered, "The Edge Cup."
This reminded the female reporter of the competition that had just ended a few days ago, and she quickly turned the camera to Roy. At this moment, Roy was nowhere near the smug look he had when he emerged from the Bug Tide.
Roy, whose ear was being grabbed by Agatha, immediately begged for mercy:
"Teacher, so many people are watching, please give me some face."
Agatha didn't care about Roy's feelings or reputation at this point, and directly asked Roy what had happened.
Gengar watched as Roy's ear was grabbed, and mocked Roy with "hehehe" sounds, making faces at Roy, completely ignoring the Bug Tide along Route 121.
Roy simply explained to Agatha the reason for the Bug Tide swarm, Hunter X's plan, and mentioned the promise he had made to the Vespiquen.
Knowing that the Bug Tide could be resolved peacefully, Agatha nodded and then released Roy's ear.
She also understood why the Bug Tide didn't recede even with Gengar present.
It turns out that the Vespiquen's price was too high, so high that the entire Bug Tide was tempted by it.
"Then it seems we can only rely on our unlucky apprentice next," Agatha thought with a disdainful look at Roy's grinning face.
She wasn't worried that Roy couldn't beat Hunter X, since if Hunter X had the strength of a mid-level Elite Four or higher, he would have already subdued the Vespiquen.
Everyone says that an apprentice should resemble his master, but how can my apprentice resemble me at all?
He doesn't even seem like a Ghost type Pokémon Trainer.
Come to think of it, I think I took Roy as my apprentice precisely because I liked that aspect of him.
"It seems I absolutely cannot trust first impressions from now on," Agatha reminded herself.
Officer Jenny Liya followed Roy to search for clues, while the female reporters behind them wanted to interview the two who had emerged from the Bug Tide, but the two had no time to answer their questions.
Roy first held the bracelet that the Vespiquen had given him to Arcanine's nose.
Arcanine sniffed the Sweet Scent and unique aroma of the wristband, then sniffed the ground and air for any trace of the wristband.
Arcanine are known for their keen sense of smell, and Officer Jenny 'Liya Arcanine has undergone specialized training by the League Police Bureau.
Soon, Arcanine detected a scent in the air that was very similar to the wristband.
It howled towards the direction of the city of Lilycove City.
The other party is still in Lilycove City!!!
Officer Jenny Liya immediately directed Arcanine to carry the two of them towards the city.
At this moment, Arcanine no longer cared about the person riding on it or Roy, and suddenly turned right, carrying Roy and Officer Jenny, Liya towards the city center of Lilycove City.
Meanwhile, his nose was still sniffing the lingering scent in the air, following the aroma as he went.
As she ran, Officer Jenny Liya found that the route Arcanine was taking was becoming more and more familiar to her.
Isn't this the direction that leads to their League Police Bureau?
A bad feeling suddenly washed over her.
In the dark night
A dark figure appeared above the League Police Bureau in Lilycove City.
All officers in the League Police Bureau have been deployed to defend against the Bug Tide, leaving the entire League Police Bureau deserted.
The man riding on the Hydreigon looked down at the League Police Bureau sign, his eyes full of disdain, and muttered to himself:
"That's it? The organization thinks too highly of those Officer Jenny?"
Hunter X was very satisfied with his masterpiece today. This operation was a last-minute assignment given to him by the Hunter Organization; he was originally on a mission for his employer in another region.
The main reason is that the once-famous Hunter J died in Lilycove City, and the Hunter Organization was directly attacked by the League Police Bureau.
So the organization sent him to Revenge against the League Police Bureau in Lilycove City, to let them know that the Hunter Organization is not to be trifled with.
However, to his surprise, this trip brought unexpected Harvest.
Hunter X looked at his Spatial Bracelet, which contained a highly talented Pokémon Egg. With this Pokémon Egg, who knows, he might be able to create a swarm of insects in the future.
This time, he used the Bug Tide to completely outmaneuver the League Police Bureau while also shifting the crisis of the Bug Tide to Lilycove City, thus saving face for the organization—a triple win.
As for the reward, it is Hunter J's legacy at Hunter Headquarters and a higher Hunter rank.
He couldn't care less about that Hunter J or V or whatever; he was an idiot, so what if he died? It would just mean one less competitor for him.
The only slight pity now is that Officer Jenny isn't at the League Police Bureau, but if he burns the League Police Bureau to the ground, it's practically the same as killing Officer Jenny.
"Hydreigon, use Flamethrower!"
The middle head of the Hydreigon emitted fiery red flames from its mouth, its target the League Police Bureau.
Just as the flames were about to Spit Up, the Hydreigon felt a Gravity down on it, forcing it to stop Flamethrower.
A creature with only one eye, wrapped in Mummy, appeared behind them, followed by a person and a dog.
