A few months ago, when Agatha's Gengar was replacing Mismagius, Gengar tried to sneak into Roy's shadow while Roy was sleeping to play a prank on Roy and the Ancient Gengar.
But when he entered Roy's shadow, he discovered that besides the Ancient Gengar, there was another Pokémon that looked like Pokémon.
Roy caught another Pokémon while I was away?
Gengar wanted to test Marshadow's strength, but found that it was actually no match for Marshadow.
Roy responded that it would be strange if he could win.
Finally, Roy made a deal with Gengar using two large boxes of Pokéblock and five Shaderoot Carrots: Gengar would not tell anyone that Marshadow was in his shadow.
However, Marshadow will be leaving soon; Ho-Oh just called for him the day before yesterday.
Marshadow initially thought his association with Roy had been exposed, but Ho-Oh sent him to the Alola Region to deliver the Sacred Fire, a symbol of hope and life, to Ecruteak City.
Before leaving, Roy hugged all the Gym students who came to see him off. Some students silently wiped away tears from the corners of their eyes, while Bado and Jiang Yang hugged Roy tightly.
Roy hadn't expected everyone to like him so much, especially since they hadn't wanted to go to the Arena with him at night before.
Seeing Roy finally about to graduate and leave the dojo, all the Gym apprentices shed tears of emotion.
The monster is finally gone.
Roy was practically the Bad Dreams of every Fighting type student in the dojo; heaven knows what kind of pressure they were under during that year of training.
No matter how much they trained, it was all meaningless in front of Roy; their talent was useless.
More importantly, Agatha's Arbok was also with Roy, which means they won't have to be chased by Arbok in the mornings anymore.
"Maylene, keep it up!"
As Roy left, he looked at Maylene, who had been left at the dojo by Wuchen.
"Yes, Roy, I will definitely try my best."
Maylene raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.
"Luca!"
Lucario, standing at her feet, clenched his fist just like Maylene.
Watching their actions, Roy felt that even if Lee Pokémon beat Shinji in Maylene battles in the future, he could still shut Shinji up with a real-life battle.
Watching Roy ride away on the Dragapult, Maylene lowered his clenched fist, sat on a large stone bench, and rested his chin on his hands.
She had understood long ago why Wuchen hadn't let her challenge Roy a year ago.
Before returning to Sinnoh, Wuchen left her in the Kanto Region, hoping she could learn Extreme Fighting Technique from Bruno and inherit the Veilstone City Gym.
At first, she didn't take any Extreme Fighting Techniques seriously, thinking that with her talent, it would only take her ten days or half a month.
A year later, she still couldn't master the power generation method of Extreme Fighting Technique, and her strength was still insufficient.
She was arguably the only genius in the town of Veiltown, but since arriving at the dojo a year ago, she realized just how narrow-minded she had been.
Almost all the Fighting type students her age in the dojo could completely defeat her, shattering her pride.
Especially Roy. To those who don't practice martial arts, the difference between Roy and her is like a frog in a well looking at the bright moon. But as someone who practices martial arts, she knows that she and Roy are like mayflies compared to the blue sky.
At his current age, Roy could even hold his own against Bruno, and that's assuming Bruno doesn't hold back.
The opponent is almost the second person after Bruno to Fighting type arts; even her father, Wuchen, might not be a match for Roy now.
When will she finally reach the same level of strength as Roy, and then graduate to inherit the Veilstone Gym?
Seeing that the Pokémon Trainer was unhappy, Lucario conjured an Energy Bone Club and performed various staff techniques for Maylene, trying to cheer Maylene up.
After Roy left, the group of Fighting type apprentices prepared to celebrate; their good days were finally back!!
Before the celebration, Bruno brought them both good news and bad news, asking which they wanted to hear.
Everyone said they wanted to hear some bad news first.
Bruno said the bad news was that Arbok left with Roy, so they no longer had their daily morning sparring partner.
The group of Fighting type apprentices were all puzzled; wasn't this good news?
What's the good news?
Bruno smiled mysteriously. The good news was that he had Pokémon Arbok, Seviper, and Sandaconda from the Pokémon League's Pokémon Day Care.
As he spoke, three Poké Balls appeared in Bruno's hand.
A flash of red light
Three snake-type Pokémon a dazzling appearance.
They were already used to the first purple cobra Arbok.
Beside Arbok was a Seviper, smaller than Arbok but with a robust body, two sharp red fangs, and a razor-sharp tail.
Beside the Seviper is a large snake coiled in a spiral, Sandaconda Pokémon the Kanto League brought from Galar.
The Sandaconda has a darker neck, which is tire-shaped. It maintains a coiled posture while crawling and propels itself forward using only the part of its body that touches the ground.
The apprentices were stunned to see the three snakes. Bruno explained that in the past they had no choice but to be chased by Arbok, but now they could choose which one to be chased.
It could even be changed to: being chased by Sandaconda on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; being chased by Seviper on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; and being chased by Arbok on Sundays.
If those three weren't enough, Bruno released a giant Onix that was as big as three Onix.
This is a wild Onix that he captured six months ago. This Onix is much larger than the average Onix.
The group of Fighting type apprentices, who thought they had escaped their misery, looked at the three snakes in the dojo and Bruno's enormous Onix, and didn't know how to describe their current feelings.
The crowd looked at each other.
Roy... you deserve to die!!
