"Annihilape? Bond Evolution? Champion of the Edge Cup?"
It turns out that he was the first person to battle against Mega Garchomp at the Edge Cup.
"By the way, any news about Beedrill's Evolution Stone and Key Stone?"
The Matori Knob.
However, she took out a purple, spherical stone from her Spatial Bracelet.
"Our people have only found this so far, and it looks very similar to the Gengarite revealed by the Pokémon League."
Currently, only the Kalos Region and Hoenn have found a significant number of Evolution Stones. While the Kanto Region and other regions also have Key Stones and Mega Stones, their quantities are relatively small, and they are still searching for them.
The key issue is that the official release only includes images, and there are no specific references for the Team Rocket in the Kanto Region. Everyone has to search for them in different regions based on the images.
Moreover, they weren't the only ones searching. The Dragon Clan of Blackthorn City in the Johto, the family that owned an entire Moomoo Farm in Goldenrod City... and many other families were also searching for the Mega Stone and Key Stone.
Seeing no good news from either side, Giovanni took the Gengarite from Matori's hand, examined it carefully, and then calmed down before storing Gengarite in his Spatial Bracelet.
He then returned to his room, but his worries about the Team Rockets' future still weighed on his mind.
After resting in the room for a while, Giovanni felt a bit depressed. Although the room was large, he still felt suffocated.
He then pushed open the room door and went alone to the open deck to enjoy the sea breeze and breathe in the fresh sea air.
Looking at the vast and seemingly endless ocean, a sense of bewilderment welled up within Giovanni.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into his line of sight. It was the tall boy who had been following Agatha earlier, and also her apprentice, Roy.
Roy, carrying a fishing rod on his back, joined the group of sea fishing enthusiasts on the sunken platform below the open deck.
He was making preparations for the fishing trip last night.
To this end, he also specially made Pokéblock that are suitable for Water-type Pokémon.
This Pokéblock was made according to the secret recipe in the breeding manual that Agatha gave him, and it is said to be extremely Captivate to large Water-type Pokémon.
Now, he can easily handle any type of Pokéblock.
Just as Roy was about to sit down and throw the cue, he heard a snicker.
Roy looked up and saw a fisherman next to him.
"Young man, you should take that lousy fishing rod back with you. You might not catch any fish and then break it."
A seasoned sea angler immediately recognized that the fishing rod in Roy's hand was a counterfeit, and the worst kind of counterfeit at that.
"He's not lying to you, young man. Sea fishing is no joke. Your rod might be okay for catching that silly Magikarp, but the Water-type Pokémon in the sea aren't like Magikarp."
Another fisherman also chimed in with a reminder.
"No, I'll lend you a fishing rod, return it to me later..."
Faced with the reminders from the group of anglers, Roy simply smiled and waved his hand, declining the kind offer from the anglers who had wanted to borrow his fishing rod.
Find a quiet, unoccupied fishing spot and take out the fishing gear you need.
The fishermen who knew Roy exchanged smiles when they saw that he wouldn't listen to their advice; they'd seen plenty of hotheads like him before.
Sometimes, things that one person can't teach another to do, one person can learn them in one lesson. They were all waiting for Roy Air Force to make a fool of himself.
When Giovanni saw Roy being laughed at by the fisherman from the beginning, he thought Roy would be angry, after all, Roy was just a hot-blooded young man.
Most teenagers, when faced with rejection and ridicule, would at least argue or Uproar back. But Roy just laughed it off.
This makes the behavior of the fisherman who had just mocked Roy seem quite despicable.
This Roy... is interesting.
Giovanni followed him to the sunken platform. He knew a bit about sea fishing, and kept his eyes on Roy's fishing rod without disturbing him.
Roy shook the fishing rod in his hand and gave it a couple of casual swings. It wasn't as useless as the old fisherman had said. On the contrary, he thought the fishing rod that the Magikarp had given him was actually of pretty good quality.
After all, his strength is undeniable; the fact that this fishing rod can withstand his rough handling means its quality is absolutely guaranteed.
Roy used a whole Pokéblock he made himself as bait, hooking it onto the fishing hook on the rod that Magikarp had given him, and then cast the hook with the Pokéblock into the sea.
Half an hour later
The fisherman who had just mocked Roy could no longer hide his smile when he saw that Roy's fishing rod still hadn't moved at all.
Just as another angler couldn't stand it anymore and was about to hand Roy his spare rod so he could personally teach him how to sea fish,...
Roy felt the fishing rod in his hand vibrate, the float in the sea suddenly plunged into the water, and a heavy pull suddenly came from his wrist.
If he hadn't been strong enough, that force would have already dragged the fishing rod in his hand into the water.
What is that heavy thing?
Roy was puzzled, but his body reacted instinctively. The muscles in his arms tensed, his biceps bulged, and he gripped the fishing rod tightly, instantly turning the rod into a taut bow.
In addition, Roy's outfit today, a sleeveless top, perfectly showcased the muscles in his arms.
The surrounding fishermen didn't take Roy's actions seriously, assuming that Roy hook had gotten tangled in something on the seabed.
Giovanni even reached out to Coaching Roy on how to fish properly.
The next second he saw the already taut muscles on the boy's arm swell up, and the arm even swelled to twice its original size.
Ah, this...
Roy's fishing line was being pulled little by little, but the big fish in the sea was unwilling to be caught so easily, and suddenly darted towards the deep sea.
Only then did everyone notice that ripples had appeared on the sea surface where Roy's buoy was, and the appearance of the ripples even created circles of movement similar to ocean waves.
Something's wrong, absolutely wrong.
Roy had definitely caught something big. Even the other fishermen, who had just mocked Roy, all crowded around, eager to see what Roy had caught.
The big fish that had taken the bait continued to struggle, and the ripples on the sea surface became more pronounced and faster.
Roy knew he couldn't let his guard down now, so he gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands and pulled on the big fish in the sea.
He didn't just use brute force to pull; instead, he gently relaxed his arms to cushion the impact when the sea fish lunged forward, and then slowly pulled back when the fish's strength had lessened.
This continued for more than ten minutes. The struggles of the big fish in the sea gradually subsided, and the frequency of the ripples also decreased. The big fish swam around a few times in frustration, but eventually ran out of strength.
