The next day
The port of Lilycove City officially opened, and the master and apprentice arrived at the Lilycove City.
Roy had originally planned to do an interview with the Lilycove City TV Station today, but Agatha was the last person who wanted to be famous, so she dragged Roy along to the port of Lilycove City:
Looking at the ships that had resumed normal operations and were docked in the harbor, Roy asked:
"Teacher, which ship is ours?"
We're on the S.S. Anne's.
Agatha pointed to a ship on the shore whose main color was deep navy blue, with a striking Red border around the bottom of the hull, and whose white superstructure cascaded upwards in layers. Just from the outside, it looked much more luxurious than other cruise ships.
Among the numerous ships and cruise ships in the harbor, the S.S. Anne stood out like a crane among chickens, overwhelming all the other cruise ships in the harbor.
"Oh... what?! The S.S. Anne?"
Roy belatedly realized what the words "S.S. Anne" meant.
Agatha looked at Roy with displeasure. She didn't know what was wrong with Roy. He was always acting strangely and only knew how to cause her trouble.
"Teacher, how about we take that 'S.S. Departure'? I think it's quite nice; it also travels to and from the Kanto Region."
Roy pointed to a cruise ship called "S.S. Departure" docked on the shore. This cruise ship looked smaller and older than the S.S. Anne next to it.
Looking at the old S.S. Departure, Agatha really wanted to dismantle Roy's brain to see what he was thinking.
The S.S. Anne is a newly built luxury cruise ship designed for leisure and vacation, and tickets are extremely difficult to obtain for ordinary Pokémon Trainer. Owning a ticket is a symbol of status and prestige.
Neither the travel experience nor the comfort of the travel time can be compared to the S.S. Departure on the sidelines.
"If you don't want to sit, then swim back to Kanto yourself."
After saying that, Agatha didn't even glance at Roy and walked straight towards the S.S. Anne.
Why don't you want to sit?
The S.S. Anne is a well-known accident-prone location and a popular photo spot in games and anime.
What?! Their Pokémon were robbed by pirates! The evil Team Rocket is going to blow up their ship...
Roy still remembered the final fate of the giant ship S.S. Anne in the anime, which slowly sank to the bottom of the near sea, and a magnificent floating paradise was completely buried in the deep blue sea.
Wait a minute... the Team Rocket?
By the way, I'm going back to Kanto with Agatha. So, what's Team Rocket, the biggest evil organization in the Kanto Region, doing now?
Roy's memories of Team Rocket are still those of the true protagonists in the anime, the Team Rocket Trio and their leader Giovanni.
There are multiple versions of the story regarding the identity of Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket. Some say he formed Team Rocket purely to make money, while others say that the founder of Team Rocket was Giovanni's mother, who disappeared while searching for Mew.
So what is the Team Rocket like in real life?
Looking at Agatha's back in front of him, Roy realized he had been overthinking things. With Agatha around, there was really no need to worry about any evil organization.
I ask you, which few fools would dare to tamper with things right under the nose of the regional Elite Four?
"Teacher, wait for me! I'll sit down!!!"
After checking the tickets, the crew saw the SSVIP mark on the tickets and immediately let Agatha and Roy board.
They even arranged for a crew member from the ship to help the two find their room.
"Wow!"
Roy was speechless with astonishment at the luxurious sight on the ship as soon as he boarded.
First of all, the cruise ship is very large. The entire cruise ship is divided into open decks, multi-level passenger cabin halls, banquet halls, kitchens, captain's cabins and underground cargo holds with training rooms, audio-visual rooms... The space is open and complex, and exquisite decorations can be seen everywhere.
As expected of a top-tier luxury cruise ship, the facilities inside and outside the ship are very complete, and there is even a dedicated battle platform.
There are about ten battlegrounds inside, and the battlegrounds are modeled after those in professional esports tournaments.
Led by the crew, Roy arrived at his luxurious room, which was much larger than the room he had stayed in at the Pokémon Center in Lilycove City the day before, and was also fully equipped with all kinds of facilities.
Keep in mind this is at sea, and to have such a large room at sea... he simply can't imagine the happiness of the wealthy.
Roy released his Snorunt Snorunt, which excitedly bounced around on the snow-white bed as soon as it entered the room.
Because he had spent the whole night playing with Chansey, Roy lay down on the big bed and fell asleep almost immediately.
The Snorunt, who had been playing on the trampoline on the bed, stopped bouncing around when he saw that Roy had fallen asleep. He carefully came to Roy's side and used his little hand to feel Roy's nose.
Then she gently leaned against Roy, pondering when she would be able to evolve.
When Roy woke up, it was already noon; he was simply awakened by hunger.
Although his Spatial Bracelet contained Pokéblock, he preferred to eat flavorful food since he didn't need to train anymore.
As soon as he opened the door, a fragrant aroma entered Roy's nostrils. He followed the scent to the banquet hall, where he found a variety of delicious foods laid out.
Moreover, he sampled cuisines from almost every region. Roy even saw Farfetch'd's green onions, Slowpoke Magikarp, Alcremie's cream, and bananas from Tropius...
By the way, isn't Farfetch'd onion a Pokémon item?
Glug~~~~
Feeling the hunger creeping into his stomach, Roy didn't care about anything else and grabbed a plate from the banquet hall's buffet, grabbing a little of this and a little of that...
On Roy's plate was a layer of bread at the bottom, followed by 10 pieces of steak, a leek from a giant Farfetch'd in his right hand, and a tub of vanilla ice cream made by Alcremie.
Looking at the large, bright green scallion in his hand, which was about 1.2 meters long, Roy System Scan, but found no relevant information.
Since it's not a prop, he'd like to try it and see how the green onions in the Farfetch'd differ from regular green onions.
Roy cut the bun in half and arranged 10 steaks neatly in the middle, creating a giant burger that could be easily held in both hands.
Many people in the banquet hall recognized Roy, who had become somewhat famous recently, partly because Agatha was Roy's teacher.
However, those who could board the S.S. Anne were generally powerful and influential people. When they saw Roy, they only glanced at him and did not ask for his autograph or anything.
At first, they weren't curious about Roy's frantic food hunt, until Roy put 10 steaks in two slices of bread to make a super-sized burger.
Is this really enough for a person to finish eating?
After resting, Agatha arrived at the banquet hall and immediately saw a group of people gathered around something.
"Ghost"
Gengar, emerging from the shadows behind, pointed a finger at the crowd.
"You said the person surrounded inside is Roy?"
Gengar nodded; he couldn't possibly mistake Roy's aura.
Agatha had a bad feeling. Had Roy gotten into trouble again? She quickly sent Gengar to check on the situation.
Gengar weaved through the shadows of the crowd and spotted Roy, who was completely oblivious to the stares of those around him and was intently focused on his giant hamburger.
