While his Pokémon was defeating Hydreigon, Roy didn't rest, walking step by step toward Hunter X, who had fallen off Hydreigon's back.
He wanted to ask the person involved how well they had performed their acting.
Just as Roy crouched down to approach Hunter X, a cold glint flashed in Hunter X's hand, and a very delicate dagger slashed towards Roy's throat.
Just as the dagger was about to slit Roy's throat, a tremendous force came from Hunter X's arm, rendering him unable to make any further moves.
Hunter X squinted and noticed Roy looking at him with a smile.
Roy actually figured out he was faking it?
"I'll ask you, you answer. What's your relationship with Hunter J? Which employer issued Hunter J's mission in Hoenn last time?"
"I said... I said... Go to hell!"
Seeing Hunter X's shifty gaze, he subtly shifted his legs, and a sharp blade suddenly extended from the tip of his shoe.
Before Hunter X could make his next move, Roy, with a smile on his face, twisted his hands forcefully, and a "crack" sound of bones breaking was heard.
Along with the cracking sound of bones breaking came a sharp pain from his arm, and his legs became weak from the pain, making it impossible for him to thrust the sharp blade on the toe of his shoe at Roy.
"No! I don't know! I really don't know! Please don't kill me! If you spare me, I'll give you anything you want! I can even give you that Pokémon Egg..."
Hunter X could no longer keep up the act. The pain in his arm told him that Roy in front of him was definitely not Pokémon Trainer from the Pokémon League, and he quickly begged for mercy.
Roy knew exactly what kind of hunters they were; he'd be a fool to believe them. He simply stepped on Hunter X's arms and legs and twisted them hard.
Hunter X let out another pig-like scream.
Finally, Roy condensed a ball of Ghost Power in his hand, and before Hunter X fainted, the Ghostly Purple energy poured into Hunter X's mind from all directions.
At first, Hunter X didn't know what the purple energy in Roy's hand was; he only saw a purple light in front of him, but the pain in his body prevented him from thinking.
But when a pair of withered hands appeared before him, reaching for his eyes, his eyes were filled with fear.
The intense physical pain combined with the horrific scene before him made him realize that sometimes death is a relief.
"No...!! No!? I was wrong, I was really wrong..."
The horrific sight before him completely shattered his mental state. The withered hand reached into his mouth to pull out his tongue, yanking it out forcefully...
Hunter X ultimately died bleeding from all seven orifices. Even in death, his eyes were filled with terror, and the crimson blood at the corners of his eyes made him look particularly gruesome.
"Kill you, and everything will be mine."
Awakening from his severe injuries and coma, the Hydreigon saw that Hunter X was dead and tried to flap its three pairs of wings to fly into the sky, but its injuries did not allow it to take off.
Seeing this, Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) immediately unleashed another Dazzling Gleam on Hydreigon, and the Dazzling Gleam, dealing four times the damage, completely ended Hydreigon.
Battle ended
"Roy! Are you alright?"
On the other side, Officer Jenny Liya also commanded her Arcanine to work with Dusclops to take down the Muk and Houndoom.
After losing its fighting ability, Muk simply turned into a puddle of mud. This meant it had not only lost its fighting ability but had also lost its life force.
It's slightly better than Houndoom, but only slightly; it probably still can't withstand a single Ice Slash from Snorunt.
Roy gave an OK sign and pointed to Officer Jenny, who was lying on the ground, along with Hunter X and Hydreigon.
Looking at Hunter X, who was barely recognizable as a human on the ground, Officer Jenny Liya recalled Hunter J from last time; the two died in almost identical ways.
Last time, Roy lied to her, saying that Hunter J was scared to death by the Lampent.
Roy wasn't sure if what he did counted as changing the original plot. Hunter J, who was supposed to capture the Three Sacred Beasts in Sinnoh later on, had now been killed by him, and now even Hunter X had been killed by him.
But he couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore. Anyway, it was their bad luck that they ran into him, and it had nothing to do with him.
Roy took out the Spatial Bracelet from Hunter X's wrist and used his Ghost Power to pry open the restriction on the Spatial Bracelet.
Officer Jenny Liya watched Roy's skillful movements without asking how Roy learned them; the important thing now was the Pokémon Egg that the Vespiquen wanted.
"Found it!"
After searching for a while, Roy took out a Pokémon Egg with yellow stripes from Hunter X's Spatial Bracelet.

No wonder Vespiquen was still searching for her Pokémon Egg even when Bug Tide was crashing into Lilycove City; she's definitely got a special talent.
However, Roy wasn't interested in the Combee's Pokémon Egg; he simply sighed in admiration.
"What are you all standing there for? Let's go back!"
As it was approaching midnight, Officer Jenny Liya, riding on her Arcanine, urged them on.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Let's go!"
