In the air
There were three human figures on the three Pidgeots.
"Sister Agatha, why do you want Roy to learn Fighting type arts? What if Roy gets hurt?"
With his abilities, he's got the makings of Master-level Breeder. He could just wave his hand and countless Advanced Martial Artists, Top Martial Artist, and Elite Four Pokémon Trainers would be scrambling to protect Roy like lapdogs.
Why force him to learn Fighting type arts on his own?
Joy Lando was still unwilling to give up and kept trying to persuade Agatha along the way. After all, a genius like Roy, who was a once-in-a-millennium talent, was bound to become a Master-level Breeder in the future.
Even learning Fighting type arts from Bruno, one of the Elite Four Fighting type Elite Four, was a waste of time and Roy's life in her eyes.
At this moment, Joy Lando had completely forgotten about the idea that Roy should learn Fighting type arts.
Agatha listened to Joy Lando's words, letting them go in one ear and out the other.
She knew that her actions were a waste of talent in the eyes of her best friend, but all the other person saw was Roy's talent as a breeder.
In her view, Roy's future couldn't be spent forever holed up in one place making Pokéblock.
Roy's ability to win the Edge Cup demonstrates his talent as Pokémon Trainer, and his surprising physique and strength make her realize that he also possesses the talent of Fighting type.
As Roy's teacher, she naturally Volo would develop in many ways and become a well-rounded individual.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Agatha no matter what he did, Joy Lando sighed and then fell silent.
Roy noticed that the Pidgeot beneath him seemed to fly more steadily than the other Pidgeot at the port, and he couldn't feel the slightest sway.
After careful observation, he discovered that the problem was with the Pidgeot. It was different from the saddles he had seen before, and it seemed to have used some kind of technology to absorb shock or reduce swaying and stabilize the eagle.
Would my Dragapult be more stable if I equipped it with this saddle?
"Aunt Lando, could you sell me one of the saddles that the Pidgeot carry?"
Upon hearing his beloved student's voice, Joy Lando immediately responded:
"From now on, call me teacher. And stop talking about buying or not buying. Forget one, I'll give you ten. If you want, I'll even give you this Pidgeot along with it."
That's right, Joy Lando now considers Roy his apprentice, and he's very satisfied with Roy, having already entered mentor mode.
Roy knew that the Pidgeot beneath him was a Pseudo-Elite Four level Pidgeot, and Joy Lando had just given it away without a second thought.
No wonder the Joy family has so much money they don't know what to do with it.
However, Roy still didn't accept the Pidgeot. He only had his eye on the Pidgeot, and he already had a mount, although riding it felt like flying a bomber (from outside the cockpit).
"Actually, if you're thinking about it, the Joy family's wealth is beyond your imagination. Just imagine, if you were to marry a virtuous Nurse Joy in the future..."
Roy pretended not to hear, and he didn't dare to respond to Joy Lando, fearing that she would introduce Nurse Joy to him again in the next second.
Joy Lando felt helpless as she watched the master and apprentice ignoring her.
Those very powerful Pokémon Trainers are only willing to be friends with the Joy family, but none of them are willing to become sons-in-law and marry into the family.
Only those of mediocre strength are willing to marry into the family, but the Joy family doesn't even consider these people. This results in the Joy family having only powerful allies, while their own strength is quite average. Crucially, this situation is almost a dead end with no solution.
About an hour later, Agatha realized they had finally arrived at their destination and directed her Pidgeot to land in front of a large mountain.
Behind them, Joy Lando and Roy each directed their respective Pidgeots to stop in front of the mountain.
He wasn't surprised to be about to meet Shiba Roy; he had heard from Kikuko at the Joey family that she was going to take him to find Shiba to learn martial arts.
Seeing another large mountain ahead, Roy wondered if reclusive masters and powerful families all preferred to live in the mountains.
When the three of them reached the middle of the ancient mountain road, they finally saw the entire panorama of the Daoist temple when they looked down.
The temple of Bruno is hidden deep in the mountains, with the ancient road winding upwards. The forests here are dense and shrouded in a thin mist all year round.
Compared to the small city that the Joy family built deep in the mountains, the building in front of them was a Fighting Dojo located in the mountains.
Although the dojo covers a very large area, the entire dojo is not ornately decorated and is built entirely of logs and bluestone, giving it a very rustic appearance.
A wide waterfall cascades down the distant mountainside, its roar echoing endlessly, and the mist drifts continuously down the valley toward the temple.
At the junction of the waterfall and the river, Roy saw a Machamp with strong limbs, four giant arms, and layers of stacked muscles in its torso.
At this moment, the Machamp was standing on a rock smoothed by the water flow, with each of his four thick arms encircling a heavy boulder almost as big as himself.
The rushing water cascaded down from the mountaintop, slamming into the Machamp on its shoulders and back, relentlessly impacting its body. Yet, the Machamp remained perfectly still, the rock it was embracing not swaying an inch.

The Machamp of a High-level Elite Four?
Roy seemed to know whose this Machamp belonged to.
Agatha led the two down the mountain path. Along the way, Roy often saw Fighting type Pokémon such as Machoke, Primeape, and Hitmontop, as well as human Fighting type apprentices in training uniforms training in the mountains.
This place is full of apprentices learning Fighting type arts from Bruno or Fighting type enthusiasts; it's a paradise for Fighting type.
After the three of them passed through the mountain path, they arrived at a place not far from the dojo.
From afar, a man nearly two meters tall, with clearly defined muscular physique, long dark blue hair tied in a ponytail, worn and tattered gray martial arts pants, and barefoot, stood at the entrance of the dojo. He wore black wristbands with rivets on his hands.
The man was their target: the Fighting type Elite Four, Bruno.
Bruno? Are you sure it's not Brock?
In Roy's eyes, this was just a larger version of Brock.
I don't know whether to say Mitsuko cheated or that Brock's planner stole the model; don't these two obviously look alike?
Like Brock, Bruno also has his small eyes squinted, making it hard to tell whether he is sleeping or awake.
Bruno had already received Agatha's message, so he waited for Agatha arrival outside the dojo.
Upon seeing Agatha and the others, Bruno immediately strode forward to greet them. His tall figure exuded a sense of Pressure, befitting a powerful humanoid Pokémon.
"Sister Agatha! You've finally arrived."
