Afternoon
Without Clair's interference, Roy continued to enjoy the sea breeze on the open deck with Misdreavus and Annihilape.
A little boy's eyes lit up when he saw the Annihilape lying on the deck chair. He ran over to Roy and looked at the Annihilape in surprise.
"Wow! Annihilape! It's a real Annihilape."
Clearly, the opponent had also watched Roy's matches in the Edge Cup.
Roy initially thought the kid was a fan, but the kid's next sentence left Roy speechless.
"Hey, sell me your Annihilape!"
The brat looked at Roy with an arrogant expression, as if he had said something completely ordinary.
Roy's hand, which was about to sign, froze in mid-air; he wasn't sure if he had misheard.
The child's subsequent sounds confirmed to Roy that his ears were not malfunctioning.
"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? Do you know what my family does? I advise you to be sensible."
I'll offer 1 million... no!... 800,000 Poké Dollars to sell me your Annihilape!!!
The little boy was about to say 1 million Poké Dollars, but after thinking about it, he said 800,000 instead.
Using one's background to threaten oneself?
Roy smiled.
Compared to the background?
His teacher is Agatha, and behind Agatha is Oak no Ryō. What makes you think you can compare to me?
Do you really want to use Poké Dollars to Sheer Force buy your own Annihilape?
Roy's eyes flashed with murderous intent. In his heart, Annihilape was not just his Pokémon, but his partner, a family member.
How dare this brat use Poké Dollars to measure his family?
The brat was startled by the murderous intent in Roy's eyes.
A middle-aged man dressed as a butler hurried over, accompanied by a long -Stoutland with light yellow fur resembling a long beard, covered in dark blue fur, and with light gray fur on its lower body.
"Young Master, I've finally found you! This is on the cruise ship, not on our..."

It's actually Stoutland that's a mid-level Elite Four?
The S.S. Anne is truly full of hidden talents; even a steward possesses such abilities.
Upon seeing his butler, the mischievous child seemed to have found a source of support.
Although he still dared not look Roy in the eye with murderous intent, he hid behind the butler and gave him orders:
"You've come at the right time! Quickly, make him snatch the Annihilape from me!"
Annihilape?
The butler turned his gaze to Roy and the Annihilape beside Roy.
He also recognized the Annihilape, mainly because the little boy had been saying that he wanted to tame Annihilape too.
However, the only known Annihilape in the entire Pokémon World right now is the one Roy caught.
The boy's identity was confirmed, but the key point was that he was Agatha's apprentice, so how could he possibly be short of money? The little boy was clearly insulting him.
It's true that his family is wealthy and resourceful, but they are absolutely not someone you can afford to offend, especially a regional Elite Four.
Seeing the murderous intent in Roy's eyes, which he could no longer suppress, the butler quickly apologized:
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Roy, my young master has disturbed you. I apologize. He's still young, please don't take it to heart."
Roy actually admired this butler quite a bit; as an Intermediate King level Pokémon Trainer, he actually had the nerve to apologize to him.
Of course, the main reason the other party apologized was because they were worried about offending Agatha, not because of themselves.
To be honest, it feels pretty good to use your power to intimidate others; no wonder there was that famous saying back then, "My dad's name is Li Gang."
Before Roy could say anything, it was the brat hiding behind the butler who started to complain.
"Why are you apologizing to him? You've completely disgraced our family! I want you to take his Annihilape from me..."
The little boy was silenced by the butler before he could finish speaking. He regretted it; he shouldn't have applied for the butler job for those resources. This young master's personality was simply unruly.
This was the first time Roy had ever seen such a fool. Bad people aren't scary; what's truly scary are fools.
Bad people at least consider the consequences before they do something, but stupid people don't.
Roy wasn't surprised, though; it's a matter of probability, and with so many people in the world, there will always be one or two fools.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"
Ignoring the little boy's objections, the butler apologized to Roy again and quickly led the boy away from the open deck.
Although Roy also wanted to throw the brat into the sea to feed the fish, the family that could hire a mid-level Elite Four as a butler must be quite powerful.
Furthermore, the butler's Stoutland has the Scrappy Ability, meaning that Normal type and Fighting type moves can hit his Pokémon.
The opponent likely has more than just the Stoutland Pokémon, which is causing some trouble.
Is there any way to get rid of a naughty child?
If it were Agatha Gengar's Gengar, it could definitely take down the brat without anyone noticing, and Gengar would definitely help her too.
However, Roy thought about it and decided against it. Mainly, he didn't want that brat to have it too easy, and he wanted to take the other's life with his own hands.
A mischievous child, unruly in character, from a family with Mid-tier Elite Four level butler...
These obvious entries were enough for him to find the brat's family at the last two stops on the S.S. Anne Kanto and Johto.
Now it depends on which port the kid disembarks at, so he can Minimize the search area.
