On the other side, Lysandre, riding on Gyarados, also commanded Gyarados to fly towards Roy's direction.
Although the other party and Malva had just helped him, Roy still looked at Lysandre, who was getting closer, with a wary expression.
It seemed that Lysandre sensed Roy's wariness and stopped Gyarados a few meters away from Roy, keeping it at a safe distance.
"We meet again, young man."
Lysandre was indeed disgusted by Roy and wanted to beat Roy up, but a loss is a loss. He had underestimated Roy because of his youthful appearance, so he couldn't blame anyone else.
Judging from his tone and Malva's behavior just now, is Lysandre here to help him?
"Mr. Lysandre, what a coincidence! I thought you had already left Sootopolis City this morning. I didn't expect to see you here."
Sensing the implication in Roy's words that he was being questioned about Roy's stalking, Lysandre countered with:
"It's quite a coincidence. I've never heard of any family's guards being allowed to abandon their posts and leave their garrison without permission."
Seeing that Lysandre had exposed his fabricated identity as a guard, Roy wasn't embarrassed and said:
"Then we're even this time. So, Mr. Lysandre following behind me wasn't planning to ambush me, was it?"
"I really want to do as you say, but not this time."
I had some things I wanted to say to you this morning, but there were too many people, and it wasn't a good place to talk. So I thought I'd wait until you have a chance to chat alone.
I never expected to see you ambushed here.
After hearing Lysandre's words, Roy's mind began to race. So, Lysandre was following him because he wanted to talk to him about something?
"I wonder what Mr. Lysandre would like to discuss with me?"
Instead of answering Roy directly, Lysandre looked at the huge pirate ship on the sea that was surrounded by several small vessels.
He hadn't expected that anyone other than himself was also paying attention to Roy.
"I think we should deal with your problem first."
I'm sorry to trouble you again, Elite Four Malva.
"Yes, sir... I mean, no trouble at all, Mr. Lysandre."
Malva almost let slip the secret, quickly corrected herself. Some things become habits and are hard to break; she'll have to be more careful in the future.
Roy was somewhat surprised that Lysandre would offer to help him.
I had disgusted him this morning, and yet Lysandre didn't hold a grudge?
As Lysandre looked at the pirate ship, the Archie standing on the bow of the pirate ship was also looking at the two figures in the sky.
His target this time was the little girl on Dragapult's back. If he could capture the little girl, he could force the two old men to hand over the Blue Orb and complete his goal.
What a pity, it was just a little short.
He was just a hair's breadth away from summoning the great sea god, turning the entire world into the shape of the ocean, and reshaping the home of life.
Archie had no idea how her Sharpedo had been exposed. The Sharpedo had been hiding very well, and its Hydro Pump attack had Stockpile in the sea for a long time before being released.
As a result, the opponent's Dragapult suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding the Sharpedo's Hydro Pump.
This made him suspect that Roy was cheating.
He had also investigated Roy's information in front of Phoebe. He was adopted by two elderly people from Mt. Pyre and was the champion of the Edge Cup two years ago.
He had also seen a video of Roy battling in the Kanto Region and knew that his opponent had a strange Gengar.
Because he was worried about Roy's Gengar, he didn't dare let the messenger get too close to Roy, fearing that the Pokémon discover him.
Even so, the other party still discovered it.
It doesn't really matter if we get caught; we can just rob it ourselves, since we have so many people with us.
But the appearance of a High-level Elite Four Pokémon changed his mind.
He had never seen the woman on the Talonflame's back in the Hoenn before. What was her background?
And why help Roy and the others?
But clearly, Malva wouldn't answer Archie's question; she would only have her Talonflame continuously spew out scorching flames.
A small boat that was close to the pirate ship burst into flames after being touched by the Talonflame, and the two Team Aqua on board quickly jumped off the boat and into the sea.
Roy also took out Misdreavus's Poké Ball, released Misdreavus, and then commanded Dragapult, Chandelure, and other Misdreavus that can Levitate in the air Pokémon join the battle.
To improve battle efficiency, Roy directly controlled Chandelure to Mega Evolution into Mega Chandelure, and had Misdreavus Bond Evolution into Flutter Mane.
The two cannons unleashed their skills simultaneously, raining down countless attacks: Flamethrower, Energy Ball, Shadow Ball... relentlessly slamming into Team Aqua's ships.
Roy himself commanded Dragapult to descend from the sky, aiming directly at the Archie on the bow of the pirate ship.
"Quick! Stop him!"
Countless Team Aqua soldiers commanded their Pokémon to unleash their skills in unison, creating a dense rain of attacks.
Dragapult used an S-shaped movement, weaving through a rain of Water Gun, Poison Sting, Bubble Beam attacks from a host of Water-type Pokémon.
I was nearly hit by Water Gun and Poison Sting several times.
Dragapult nearly reached the top of Archie's head; Roy could even clearly see the surprised expression on Archie's face.
"Dragapult! Use Dragon Pulse at its maximum power!!!"
