Seeing that Bruno remained silent, Roy shook off the Black Iron Sand scattered on his body, went to Agatha's side, and asked in a low voice:
"Teacher, you're not going to make me pay for this, are you?"
Agatha waved her hand, indicating that Roy definitely didn't need to pay; if anyone should pay, it would be her. Joy Lando, standing nearby, patted off the black iron filings that had splashed onto the white coat and complained:
"Isn't it expected that such a poor-quality sandbag would be blown up?"
Bruno recovered from the shock of Roy smashing the punching bag. He knew that even an Intermediate Martial Artist couldn't have smashed the punching bag, but Roy's ability to smash it meant that he had reached the level of Advanced Martial Artist in terms of strength.
After a moment of stunned silence, Bruno snapped out of her shock and immediately ran to Roy's side, staring at Roy as if he were an alien, and grabbing Roy's arm with her large, fan-like hand.
Just as Bruno was about to have Roy try to break free of his restraints, Joy Lando slapped Bruno's large hand across the face.
"What are you touching? What if you break it? Can you afford to pay for it?"
Joy Lando slapped him hard, feeling as if she had hit a block of iron. Despite the pain in her hand, she continued to verbally attack him.
Roy, whom Bruno sees as capable of learning Extreme Fighting Technique, is seen by Joy Lando as a fragile vase; she fears that Bruno might injure Roy with a single burst of strength.
Bruno was confused. Even Agatha, Roy's teacher, hadn't said anything, so what was Shiba doing here?
"I'm his teacher too, so what?"
"Are you also his teacher? Do you know Fighting type arts?"
"I know what you're talking about! I'm teaching him how to make Pokéblock!!!"
Joy Lando was once again infuriated by Bruno.
She was already unhappy that Roy wanted to learn Fighting type arts from Bruno; wouldn't it have been better to use that time to learn more about the energy composition of the two Berry?
In the end, Agatha pulled Joy Lando away, but the latter was clearly still wary of Roy. She had also heard of Bruno's power and looked at Agatha anxiously.
"Sister Agatha, what if he hurts Roy?"
Agatha knew Roy wasn't that fragile; the day after she ripped him out of 100 pulls on the S.S. Anne's, he was still full of energy.
Without Joy Lando's interference, Bruno could finally test Roy's strength in peace, and his large, fan-like hand once again gripped Roy's arm.
"Come on, break free from my grasp."
Roy's forearm tried to expand again, just like before, but Bruno's large hand gripped his arm tightly, and no matter how hard Roy tried, he couldn't break free.
But as Roy exerted his strength, Bruno's expression grew increasingly serious.
Seeing Roy's face turn red and the veins on his forehead bulging, it was clear that Roy had used all his strength.
But no matter how much force Roy used, Bruno's grip on his arm remained unchanged.
Joy Lando, standing to the side, felt extremely sorry for Bruno. If Agatha hadn't stopped her, she would have kicked Bruno that morning.
Just when Bruno thought he had reached Roy's limit, the hand that had been holding Roy's arm without making any movement suddenly moved, which Bruno had not expected.
Having achieved the result he wanted, Bruno released Roy's arm with his large, fan-like hand.
"Phew~~"
Feeling the restraints suddenly disappear, Roy let out a deep breath. Just now, Bruno's hand had been pressing down on him like a five-fingered mountain, giving him a sense of powerlessness. This was the first time he had been completely overwhelmed in terms of strength.
Bruno looked at the boy in front of him and nodded in satisfaction. The little test just now had allowed him to sense Roy's strength. No wonder the other party was able to smash the sandbag directly.
Just like Joy Lando's expression when she learned Roy was only 14, Bruno felt like she had struck gold, and her eyes were filled with the same fervor as she looked at Roy.
He now understood why Agatha had asked him to find an Advanced Martial Artist from the very beginning.
"Come on, to my dojo, I'll arrange an Advanced Martial Artist for you."
Bruno, who was leading the way, felt like he was dreaming.
If Roy is indeed classified as Advanced Martial Artist, then he would be a 14-year-old Advanced Martial Artist, which is one year and two months earlier than Roy was at that age.
The three entered the dojo, which was divided into many venues, including a boxing ring, a wrestling ring, and even an octagon, where many Fighting type students were sparring and training.
Bruno clapped his hands, and the loud sound instantly reached everyone's ears.
Everyone who was training stopped and looked in Bruno's direction.
Bado was practicing his boxing, also looked at Bruno, but then he saw a familiar face behind Bruno. Wasn't this the newcomer from the Arena who had defeated him in the ring match that morning?
His name seems to be Roy.
Looking at Roy, whom he had just met that morning, Bado was also puzzled. Why was this kid still haunting the dojo?
Seeing that Bado was looking at him, Roy waved and greeted Bado.
Seeing Roy's actions, Bruno also turned around and saw that Roy was greeting Bado.
Bado was his apprentice for ten years, the youngest Advanced Martial Artist in the entire dojo, and the successor who was to take his place in the future.
"You two know each other?"
"Um... I lost to him this morning, Master."
Upon learning that Bado had lost to Roy that morning, Bruno's eyes widened in surprise. Not only was Roy a skilled Fighting type, but he was also adept at training Pokémon for battle.
And I even gave the opponent a whole set of Mega Evolution for Lopunny, and they still couldn't win?
I was originally thinking about which opponent to choose for Roy, but now it seems better to let Bado test Roy's strength. Letting my eldest disciple suffer a defeat in the fight might give me some unexpected insights into his Fighting type skills.
"Then you go, Bado, you spar with Roy, little brother."
Looking at the still somewhat immature boy in front of him, Bado didn't know what his teacher was doing. He pointed to himself and then to Roy.
Ah?
Let him fight Roy? Are you sure it's not Pokémon battle but Single Battle between him and Roy?
Bruno nodded; it was him and Roy who would have Fighting type -Single Battle.
Bado thought Bruno was crazy, but seeing the other's serious expression, Bado nodded in agreement.
Hearing that an outsider had come to challenge them, and that he was even going to fight against Bado, Bruno's top disciple, the crowd of apprentices who were training immediately gathered to watch.
Including Jiang Yang, whom Agatha had previously told was no good, he wanted to see what this Roy was really capable of.
Many people came to watch the match, but no one thought Roy would win.
Roy and Bado each walked towards the ring in the center of the dojo.
Before leaving, Roy gave his Annihilape a fist bump and released all of his minions except Palossand to act as his cheerleaders, including Agatha's Gengar, which squeezed next to the Ancient Gengar to cheer for Roy.
Snorunt and Misdreavus sat on Dragapult's head, joining the two Dreepy in cheering for Roy.
Roy flipped over the safety bar at the edge of the ring and stood on the left side of the ring. He used to watch boxing matches and Fighting type tournaments with Annihilape, but this was his first time stepping into the ring.
Bruno explained the rules to Roy: it was an unrestricted Fighting type, and Roy could use any tactics, whether it was wrestling, boxing, or anything else, as long as he could defeat Bado, Roy would win.
Thump~~~
The battle began after Bruno rang a large yellow bell.
Bado launched the first attack, throwing a straight punch at Roy. Roy instantly raised his left arm to block, easily deflecting the blow. At the same time, he wondered to himself, "Is the strength of Advanced Martial Artist really that... weak?"
Roy felt that the Pressure from his opponent wasn't as strong as he had imagined. Was this really Advanced Martial Artist?
Bado's expression turned serious. His punch just now was also a test for Roy. Although he only used half of his strength in that straight punch, the fact that Roy was able to block it showed that his opponent was not simple.
Moreover, the other party seemed quite relaxed, indicating that I had underestimated them. In that case, there was no need for me to hold back.
