After exchanging greetings, Bruno noticed that behind Agatha was a young boy and Joy Lando, the Top-level Breeder of the Joy family.
The boy must be the person he wanted to see.
But why is Joy Lando here too? She's a key figure in the organization besides the Master-level Breeder of the Joy family; why would she come to my dojo?
The Kanto and Johto are only so big, and there are only a few important people you can know, one of whom is Joy Lando.
Previously, Bruno had asked the other party to help make Pokéblock specifically for Fighting type, but the other party declined, citing being too busy, and instead handed them over to another breeder in the family.
Aside from that, the two had almost no other interaction, but Bruno didn't know why there was a strange hostility in the other's eyes when he looked at him.
Have I done anything recently that offended the Joy family?
No, I've never offended the Joy family!
Unable to understand, Bruno stopped thinking about it and focused his attention entirely on Roy behind Agatha.
"This is my apprentice, his name is..."
Agatha greeted Bruno briefly and was about to introduce Roy when she heard Bruno recite Roy's information.
"His name is Roy, he's 14 years old, and I also know he's the youngest champion in the Edge Cup."
Bruno knew Roy because of Roy's Annihilape. He had actually contacted Agatha a long time ago, mainly because he wanted to see the Annihilape of Kikuko's apprentice, but Kikuko was still in the Hoenn at the time.
As Fighting type- Elite Four, this was the first time he had ever heard of Pokémon combining Ghost type and Fighting types.
"Roy, let me see your Annihilape."
Agatha nodded to Roy.
She and Bruno had a good relationship; he was one of her few friends.
Moreover, she knew that Bruno was a very straightforward person, whose thoughts were basically written all over his face.
Roy released his Annihilape from its Poké Ball.
"Abandoned!"
The Annihilape followed Roy closely as soon as it emerged, its eyes filled with wariness as it looked around at the somewhat unfamiliar surroundings.
"Is this the Annihilape?"
Bruno looked at the Annihilape, which exuded the same Ghost type aura as in the video. The white gas on its body was like hair, confirming that it was indeed a genuine Ghost type Pokémon.
Bruno circled the Annihilape again, observing the differences between Annihilape and the ordinary Primeape.
The Annihilape, being observed by Bruno, dared not make any rash moves. The Pressure from the human in front of him was no less than Pokémon of a typical High-level Elite Four.
Who exactly is this person?
Roy patted the Annihilape on the shoulder, telling it to relax; the person in front of it wasn't an enemy.
After observing for a while Bruno sighed and said:
"Sigh~ It's a pity your Annihilape is a bit too low-level, otherwise I'd really like to see what it's like to fight a Ghost type Pokémon."
Roy was stunned for a moment after hearing what Bruno said. He thought Bruno also wanted to breed an Annihilape, but it turned out that the other party just wanted to fight with the Annihilape?
Seeing that Bruno was no longer circling around the Annihilape, Agatha explained to Bruno the purpose of her visit.
"Bruno, I hope you can teach him some Fighting type techniques."
Bruno turned his gaze to Roy, who was directing the Annihilape in the video behind Agatha. He had been so focused on the Annihilape in the video that he hadn't paid much attention to Roy.
He wasn't surprised at all that Agatha was having her apprentice learn Fighting type techniques; it was a necessary path for the older generation of Pokémon Trainer who came from the wild fighting era.
Bruno scrutinized Roy again, and just like his first impression of Joy Lando, Roy appeared to be quite strong and was clearly a good candidate for learning Fighting type arts.
Similarly, Bruno noticed the calluses on Roy's knuckles; Roy had clearly trained.
"Forehead...
Bruno looked somewhat troubled. It wasn't that he was unwilling to teach Roy, but rather that he was worried that what he taught might be too difficult, and Roy might not be able to learn it.
Agatha told Bruno not to worry, as she had already taught Roy Fighting type arts, and Roy's talent was quite good. However, she hadn't yet determined Roy's Fighting type rank.
Bruno nodded. It was good that Roy had a foundation. Since Roy had already learned it, he could let his apprentices test Roy's current strength.
"Jiang Yang, come here for a moment."
Upon hearing Bruno's booming voice, a boy dressed in black training clothes with an Oak on his head came to Bruno's side.
"Teacher."
Bruno introduced the Fighting type in the black training uniform to Agatha. This was the most talented junior Fighting type apprentice their dojo had recently recruited. He was only 15 years old, but his Fighting type skills had already reached the standard of Intermediate Martial Artist.
Upon hearing Bruno introduce himself, Jiang Yang puffed out his chest, raised his head, and exuded an arrogant air, just like any genius.
"He's no good. Find him a different opponent."
Agatha merely glanced at the young man named Jiang Yang and immediately denied it.
The boy who was rejected was clearly unconvinced by Agatha's words. They hadn't even competed yet, how could she immediately say he was no good?
However, he didn't dare to refute Agatha, whose Ghost type Elite Four was well-known in the Kanto Region and whose temper was notoriously unpredictable.
Seeing that Bruno wanted to call over another Intermediate Martial Artist, Agatha said impatiently:
"Let's just replace him with an Advanced Martial Artist."
After Agatha finished speaking, not only was Bruno stunned, but Roy also looked at Agatha in confusion and asked in a low voice:
"Teacher, didn't you say before that my skill level wasn't even up to the Beginner Martial Artist?"
"If it were an Advanced Martial Artist, wouldn't they have killed me?"
Agatha gave him a cold look, and Roy immediately dared not say another word.
Bruno was also somewhat hesitant. Although he knew that Agatha wasn't the type to joke around, sending an Advanced Martial Artist to fight Roy seemed a bit... disrespectful to their Fighting type.
