Upon hearing the conversation transmitted to him by the Ancient Gengar through Mind Communication, Roy, still attached to Dragapult, also realized that the disappearance of the Primeape group was indeed related to those individuals.
It turns out that the three were Ranger, and the two real Rangers had been killed, all because of the Primeape Clan.
Now that it's confirmed, there's no need to keep the three of them around.
After confirming his hypothesis, Roy commanded Dragapult to land in front of Dragapult.
The three, who were about to leave, saw a dark green figure suddenly appear in front of them. But before they could figure out what was going on, they saw Roy had been leaving in the opposite direction from them, jump off Dragapult.
Upon seeing Roy on Dragapult's body, the burly man was astonished; he hadn't even noticed Roy following him.
Those who come with ill intentions will not come; those with good intentions will not come.
"Elite Four Majesty, what is this...?"
The burly man asked, feigning ignorance.
"They're here to cause trouble; they don't like you."
Before they could even think, the three of them unleashed their Pokémon attack while simultaneously drawing Poké Balls from their waists.
Ancient Gengar, hidden in the shadows behind the burly man, appears.
Sensing the growing chilling aura emanating from behind him, the burly man whirled around and met a pair of scarlet eyes.
Before he could resist, the Ancient Gengar's large purple hand reached out, and the burly man quickly pulled the man next to him in front of him to block the Ancient Gengar's large purple hand.
The man beside him stared incredulously at the burly man facing him.
"Boss, why..."
The Ancient Gengar placed one hand on the man's head, and with a slight exertion, forcefully Sheer Force the burly man's head into the shadows, leaving him unable to finish his sentence.
As for whether this person can survive in the shadows...
That's none of his business, Gengar.
Nidoking, who was standing nearby, wanted to come and help, Ancient Gengar used its other hand to condense a Shadow Ball twice the size of Nidoking and launched it.
Seeing this, Nidoking quickly dodged, and the Shadow Ball grazed past him. Before Nidoking could breathe a sigh of relief, the Shadow Ball behind him veered back and exploded on his back.
The Ghostly Purple Energy Ball engulfed Nidoking, instantly Nidoking it unable to fight.
They've already lost a teammate before the match even started.
Upon witnessing the terrifying power of the Ancient Gengar, the other two realized they were no match for it and quickly fled.
Before leaving, the burly man gave instructions to the Krookodile:
"Krookodile, use the Sand Attack to obstruct their vision!"
Just as the Krookodile was about to swing its claws, before it could make a move, a green dragon shadow appeared before it, enveloping Dragapult.
Before Krookodile could react, it was rammed into the sky by Dragapult. The green dragon phantom Bite Krookodile and swallowed Krookodile whole. Krookodile, falling from the sky, was immediately rendered unable to fight.
After taking down the Krookodile, Dragapult simply accelerated and blocked their path.
The woman's Rhydon tried to block Dragapult, but the Ancient Gengar behind her fired another Shadow Ball, defeating the Gym Leader level Rhydon in one hit.
The entire process took less than three minutes, and all three players' main Pokémon were rendered unable to battle.
The two, now without their main force, tried to throw out Poké Balls, but before they could release Poké Ball, they suddenly found themselves losing control of their bodies and being swept up into the air by a pink energy.
Just as they were still wondering what was going on, a Misdreavus appeared behind Roy.
It was the Misdreavus that used its Psychic to control the two of them.
Roy, like a spider that has seen its prey enter its web and is preparing to pull it in, walked step by step toward the two of them.
As Roy drew closer, the burly man remained unwilling to give up. He was just one Mankey away from being caught; if he could catch just one Mankey, he could exchange it for a high-potential Pokémon Egg from the Wazik Family.
But after all that effort, he's about to be defeated by a mere teenager.
The burly man, unwilling to accept defeat, roared at Roy:
"What do you think you're doing! We are Pokémon League Rangers, equivalent to Pokémon League Police. Your actions constitute assaulting a police officer! Even if you're an Elite Four Pokémon Trainer, the Pokémon League won't let you get away with this."
Do you think the two Rangers you killed will let you go after you get there?
The burly man froze as soon as Roy finished speaking.
How... how did he know?
The burly man couldn't understand how Roy knew all this.
"I not only know you killed two Rangers, I also know what you were looking for."
Roy took out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of red light, Annihilape appeared before the two of them.
"Abandoned... Annihilape!!"
The two were filled with shock when they saw the Annihilape.
"This is my Pokémon."
As soon as Roy finished speaking, the burly man's mind seemed to explode; he finally remembered where he had seen Roy before.
The young master of the Wazik Family had mentioned this name before, and the Annihilape was his exclusive pet.
Based on their reactions, Roy also realized that the other party's goal was to recreate an Annihilape.
"Tell me, maybe I can give you a quick death."
The burly man, having regained his senses, still stubbornly insisted:
I don't know what you're talking about.
Seeing that the burly man remained silent, the woman also kept quiet.
Seeing that the remaining two were still unwilling to speak, Roy didn't want to waste any more time and prepared to have the Misdreavus deal with them directly.
Before the Red Orb of the Misdreavus was discovered, a huge Shadow Ball suddenly appeared. The burly man was completely bewildered; every step Roy took was beyond his expectations.
Shouldn't the other party threaten me a few more times before trying to get rid of me?
Seeing the Shadow Ball in front of the Misdreavus's Red Orb growing larger and larger, the burly man could no longer contain himself and shouted at Roy:
"Etc!"
Hearing the burly man's voice behind him, Roy turned around and looked at the man with an expression that said he had expected this to happen.
"Put me down first, then I'll talk to you."
Roy looked at the Misdreavus behind him and Misdreavus to it.
"Dream!"
The Psychic type that Misdreavus dremacy had been using to bind the muscular man disappeared, and control of his body returned to him.
Sensing the energy within his body, the burly man said, "Actually, we come from..." as he took small steps toward Roy.
When he felt he was close enough, the burly man charged at Roy, intending to capture the leader first. If he could subdue Roy, his Pokémon would be a sure thing.
The Annihilape and Dragapult watched as the burly man charged toward Roy without stopping him. They couldn't understand how this man dared to choose the toughest opponent.
But the Mankey behind the Annihilape watched the person rushing towards Roy with great tension.
The burly man was also quite fit, rushing towards Roy in two steps instead of three, while swinging his fist.
It's done!
Just as he swung his fist at Roy countered with a punch so fast that the burly man couldn't react in time.
The burly man felt as if he had been hit by a car, and was sent flying by Roy's punch.
He crashed into a large tree behind him, and when he fell to the ground, his body seemed to have fallen apart, with a large hole in his abdomen.
I... I...
Less than ten seconds later, the burly man also breathed his last, his eyes wide open, never understanding why Roy's punch was so fast and so powerful.
"A waste of time."
Roy looked at the crimson bloodstains on his fist with disgust.
The woman saw the gruesome death of her companion, and then noticed Roy's gaze fixed on her, muttering, "Your turn."
Roy's voice exploded in the woman's ears like the King of Hell calling his name, instantly igniting her will to survive. She pleaded with Roy:
"No... don't kill me! I'll tell you anything you want to know!"
Seeing the woman's appearance, Roy knew his plan had succeeded; from the beginning, he only wanted to keep the woman for questioning.
When Roy heard the conversation between the three from the Ancient Gengar, Roy knew that the woman was from the Wazik Family in Ecruteak City.
The other person definitely knows far more than the other two.
