For Roy, Mt. Pyre is his home, and Phoebe and the two old people are his family in this world.
Now that Archie actually wants to hurt them, he doesn't care what lofty ideals the other party may have; he just wants them dead!
Ancient Gengar emerged from the shadows, and the fat man once again gathered a purple energy wave in his hand, shooting it towards the Crawdaunt. In his other hand, countless sharp, purple venomous Toxic Spikes appeared and were scattered across the pirate ship.
"Oh no! It's Toxic Spikes! Crawdaunt, stop it!"
As Archie gazed at the prismatic spikes flashing with purple light in the sky, some unpleasant thoughts came to mind.
The Crawdaunt Spit Up a Dark Pulse energy from its left claw, blocking the purple energy surge. Its other large claw fired white energy stars at the drifting Toxic Spikes, scattering them.
The other Team Aqua members on the pirate ship also commanded their Pokémon to use moves to attack the Toxic Spikes in the sky.
However, due to the sheer number of Toxic Spikes, quite a few still appeared on various parts of the ship. Even the Team Aqua flag on the sails was torn open by the Toxic Spikes, turning the skull pattern into tattered strips.
Some of the Toxic Spikes fell and embedded themselves into the hull, instantly Corrosion the wooden planks and creating sizzling, smoking holes. Dark green venom flowed out along the cracks.
One of the Team Aqua accidentally came into contact with a poisonous Toxic Spikes due to the ship's rocking. The Sharpness thorn cut his skin, and the Team Aqua's face instantly turned purple, and he foamed at the mouth.
Before anyone else could produce the Antidote, the Team Aqua member had already lost vital signs.
In other words, even if you take the Antidote, it won't help. The Pokémon League's Antidote is only Pokémon below the Pseudo-Elite Four.
This is a toxin from a Gengar at the Intermediate King level; it's not something that can be cured with ordinary Antidote.
The people on the ship dared not move around recklessly, all afraid of being touched by the purple Toxic Spikes, since it usually takes less than 30 seconds for a person to go from Poison to death.
Looking at the reactions of the crew behind him, and then at the purple, foul-smelling venom seeping from the Toxic Spikes on the ship, Archie figured that the ship he had spent a fortune building was now useless.
Seeing that the other small boats and ships had already withdrawn, Archie turned back and glared fiercely at Roy, his eyes blazing with uncontrollable anger, as if he wanted to etch Roy into his memory forever.
Then, Archie commanded the pirate ship to retreat without looking back, with Sharpedo and Tentacruel floating on either side of the pirate ship, constantly on guard against Roy and Malva's Talonflame.
Watching the other party's retreating figure, he regretted not letting Lysandre make a move and instead waiting for Archie to trigger Marshadow ability when it was about to hit him.
Marshadow in the shadows, boarded the ship and wreaked havoc, annihilating Archie and her Team Aqua in the area.
However, this might mean Marshadow would be recalled by Ho-Oh or sent to the Distortion World to avoid trouble for interfering in ordinary people's disputes.
It seems I need to think this through more carefully.
"Help... help me!!!"
Although Archie has escaped, there are still several Team Aqua members who fell into the sea and were struggling at sea because they didn't have time to retreat.
This group of people can't escape.
Help?
There's no way to salvage it.
However, he could help these people find a way out.
I hope I don't become a member of the Team Aqua in my next life.
Roy directed Dragapult to call out names one by one.
As Roy charged toward them on his Dragapult, a member of Team Aqua tried to beg for mercy, but before he could even utter a sound, he was killed by Shadow Ball that was bigger than himself.
Seeing that their pleas for mercy were ineffective, the others swam faster in other directions.
But Roy ignored the group's pleas for mercy, told Phoebe behind him to "close your eyes," and then commanded Dragapult to unleash more than ten Shadow Ball.
A few seconds later, several unidentified objects, which could not pass censorship due to lack of censorship, floated on the sea surface.
Consider this a small interest payment from Archie. When they meet again, he won't let her leave so easily.
Lysandre in the air was shocked by Roy's decisiveness.
The boy before him seemed to have suddenly become a different person, but this change was not a bad thing for Lysandre.
If the other side wants to ambush and kill Roy, they should be prepared to be killed by Roy in return.
There is no such thing as being allowed to kill me but not being allowed to kill you in return.
Lysandre was even a little envious, wishing he could have understood this principle when he was Roy's age.
Lysandre grew increasingly fond of the boy riding on Dragapult. His strength was already formidable for his age, he was decisive and ruthless in his actions, and his temperament was also quite good. Wasn't this exactly the kind of promising talent he needed?
Seeing that Roy had already taken down all the Team Aqua members who couldn't escape at sea, Lysandre rode up to Roy's side on his Gyarados.
"I'm sorry, young man, Elite Four Malva and I can only protect you from harm, but Pursuit these pirates is the business of the Hoenn League, and we cannot interfere."
Roy waved his hand. He knew that what Lysandre said was true. If it weren't for him back in Lilycove City, Agatha probably wouldn't have bothered with the Bug Tide.
If anyone's to blame, it's that he's not strong enough right now; otherwise, he could have wiped out the original version of Team Aqua.
"How could I possibly blame Elite Four Malva? If it weren't for Elite Four Malva holding back that Sharpedo and the Tentacruel, I probably would have had to flee in a sorry state."
Lysandre had helped him this time, so he was indebted to Lysandre for it.
"What? Young man, aren't you going to introduce yourself? I still don't know your name. Are you not planning to tell me at all?"
"My name is Mil... Roy."
Roy didn't make Wallace take the blame this time, mainly because Lysandre had already met with Wallace.
"Roy, do you know who those people were? Why would they target you and dare to launch an attack openly in the waters not far from Lilycove City? Aren't they afraid of the Hoenn League's Prosecutor?"
Why are they targeting me?
Roy turned to look at Phoebe behind him.
This is the reason why the Archie is searching for itself.
He had only brought Phoebe out once, and Archie had mobilized the entire Team Aqua to hunt him down. If Phoebe had come out alone, she would definitely not have been a match for Archie.
No wonder the old woman usually wouldn't let Phoebe leave the Mt. Pyre.
Phoebe was still immersed in the aerial battle she had just fought. When she saw Roy looking at her, she thought there was something on her face.
She quickly took out the small mirror that Lisia had given her and looked at herself, but there was nothing on her face in the mirror.
