Behind the fat man, several Gym apprentices, also wearing Ho-Oh Badges, looked at Morty with disdain.
Upon hearing the fat man's command, each released its own Pokémon, including Sandslash, Rhyhorn, Golem, etc. Most of them were between level 40 and 50, but there were also two that were level 50 or higher.
Since the current Ecruteak Gym is also Rock type Gym, all the apprentices' Pokémon are Rock type.
Each person directed their own Pokémon toward Morty.
One of the Golems used Rock Blast on the Morty, Fling five basketball-sized stones at Morty in quick succession.
The middle-aged man had already closed his eyes, too afraid to look any longer, while Roy wasn't worried at all; he had already sensed the Ghost-type energy from the shadow of the Morty.
Just as the stone was about to hit Morty, a Gengar emerged from the shadow behind Morty and blocked Morty path.
He flung two Shadow Balls at the rocks that Golem Fling at him. The two energies collided in mid-air, but the Shadow Balls were clearly superior, destroying the rocks and then slamming into Golem.
Roy, who was watching, scanned the Gengar Morty the System Scan and found that it had reached level 60, the Beginner King level.
"Ghost!"
Logically speaking, given Gengar's current strength, even a group of Gengar might not be a match for it.
Upon seeing Gengar appear, the crowd quickly took two steps back. Legend has it that this Ghost type Pokémon can devour a person's life force, turning a whole person into bones.
Because they lacked modern equipment and relied entirely on newspapers and radio for information about the outside world, the people of Ecruteak City still had a limited understanding of Ghost type Pokémon were believed to feed on human life force.
Sensing the power emanating from Gengar, the Rhyhorn and Golem that had initially wanted to charge forward retreated.
Even the fat guy in the lead didn't expect that Morty's Gengar would actually break through to the Beginner King level.
Gengar conjured an Energy Ball and shot it at Golem. The giant rock, already hit by Shadow Ball, was instantly killed by the Energy Ball and lost its ability to fight.
Seeing that Golem had lost its ability to battle, Gengar originally wanted to rush towards the Gym apprentice who had just ordered Golem to attack Morty, wanting to take him out first.
But before he could slip into the shadows, Morty suddenly grabbed Gengar's hand, stopping Gengar from stepping forward.
Gengar looked at Morty in confusion. These people had already bullied him like this, so why didn't they let him fight back?
"Ghost!"
It wasn't that Morty didn't want to kill the group of people in front of him, but rather that he hesitated because he was worried that if Gengar retaliated and injured someone, it would confirm what the fat man had said, so he didn't dare to command his Gengar to retaliate.
The fat man also saw Morty's concerns. Seeing that Morty didn't dare to make a move, he became even more Power Trip and said to the group behind him:
"Come on! Let your Gengar kill me! Let everyone see how Ghost type Pokémon kill people! Let them see how I turned into a pile of bones!"
With the fat guy leading the way, the Gym apprentices also realized that Morty didn't dare to command Gengar to attack them personally.
Several Gym apprentices left their Pokémon standing still while they continued forward.
Just as several Gym apprentices were about to rush forward and Beat Up Morty, Roy wanted to step forward to stop them, but a shout made him stop in his tracks.
"Stop!"
Someone was a step ahead of him and stood in front of the group.
Officer Jenny from the Ecruteak City League Police Bureau appeared in front of Morty on a bicycle.
Unfortunately, to protect the ancient buildings, Fire-type Pokémon her Arcanine can only be used outside the city.
Upon Officer Jenny's arrival, Morty finally breathed a sigh of relief, Wazik Family Gym apprentices who had originally intended to Beat Up Morty all took a step back.
The Jenny family is not someone they can afford to offend.
"Didn't I say before? The Burned Tower is one of the famous buildings in Ecruteak City, and its demolition is absolutely prohibited. Are you going to defy the laws of the Pokémon League!?"
However, the matter did not end there. The fat man in the lead seemed to have known that Officer Jenny was coming. He took out a piece of agreement from his shirt pocket, unfolded it, and faced Officer Jenny.
"Officer Jenny, don't make baseless accusations. We have a land acquisition order in our hands. Demolishing the Burned Tower is legitimate, reasonable, and in accordance with the Pokémon League's laws."
Besides, what if one day a gust of wind blows this tower down and it hits passersby? It wouldn't be good if it damaged the flowers and plants too."
Officer Jenny was surprised when she saw the printout of the paper document in the fat man's hand. She couldn't understand how he had obtained the document.
They then found themselves in a dilemma.
Of course she knew there were Ghost type Pokémon inside the Burned Tower. It was good that these Ghost type Pokémon had a place to be managed in order to maintain order in the city.
If all the Ghost type Pokémon this area were driven out and Pokémon to roam freely in Ecruteak City, that would truly cause chaos in the Ecruteak City.
If a Ghost type Pokémon to absorb Life Energy, the other Ghost type Pokémon would definitely be affected, leading to even greater chaos in Ecruteak City.
But knowing this is one thing, the fat man genuinely possessed the documents, and they were perfectly legal.
"So, Officer Jenny, can we start unpacking now?"
Officer Jenny turned to look at Morty, and Knob at the hopeful Morty.
However, with Officer Jenny present, the fat man had his concerns. He dared not send anyone to Beat Up Morty again. Compared to Beat Up Morty, he had more important things to do, so he could only have his men chase Morty away.
"Guards, take him away and forcibly demolish his house!"
Officer Jenny was also helpless, Morty had no choice but to reveal his last trump card.
"Agatha of the Pokémon League said that this is one of the entrances to the Spirit World. If the entrance to the Spirit World is destroyed and the evil spirits inside are released, the entire Ecruteak City will fall!"
Hearing what Morty said, the onlookers recalled that an evil spirit had indeed come out of a large black hole earlier, and a woman had come to destroy the evil spirit and completely seal the black hole.
If the entrance to the Spirit World is reopened, the same situation as before might occur again.
Seeing the crowd buzzing around him, the fat man knew he couldn't delay any longer and roared at Morty:
"Stop playing tricks here. At worst, we'll tear this place down and then send someone from our Gym to guard it."
And stop trying to intimidate me with your "Kikuko Tensei" nonsense! This is Enju City, our Wazuki family's territory, not the Kanto region!
"If our family's Elite Four hadn't been in such bad shape at the time, would she have been able to become the Elite Four in two regions?"
After news of the Kanto Region's Elite Four's resounding victory in the battle for Elite Four between the two regions spread back...
The entire Ecruteak City knows that their Gym Leader hasn't replaced even one of Agatha's Pokémon; it's a disgrace to their family!
Just as the middle-aged man was about to complain to Roy again, he suddenly realized that Roy had disappeared and was now standing in front of Morty.
When did he leave?
Morty was still a little confused when she saw Roy in front of her, not understanding what was going on.
When Officer Jenny saw Roy, she paused for a moment, feeling as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Then she recalled the information on the ID Card that the two police officers had sent her earlier; the photo on the ID Card was exactly the same as Roy in front of her.
The fat man with a big belly looked constipated. He had just finished dealing with Officer Jenny, and now another person had jumped out.
Is this ever going to end?
Who is this?
The fat man had never seen or even heard of Roy before, and impatiently yelled at Roy:
"And who are you? If you know what's good for you, get out of my way. I don't have time to waste with you. Don't disturb the Wazik Family's business."
Who I am is unimportant; what matters is that you are gone because you insulted my teacher.
"Your teacher?"
"Agatha is my teacher."
As for Roy, Agatha could beat him up, slap him, and scold him, but no outsider could say a bad word about Agatha.
It's fair to say that without Agatha, even with his cheat codes, he would still be playing in Rustboro City's Dome Arena right now.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, clearly frightened by Roy's identity, but then he remembered that this was Ecruteak City, and he was no longer worried.
The other party isn't Agatha herself.
"Officer Jenny, their actions in preventing our demolition are a violation of Pokémon League law, and we are entitled to use force against such behavior."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man ignored Officer Jenny and threw out a Poké Ball, which flashed red.
A Rhyperior, over 3 meters tall, with a sturdy and heavy build, a dark gray-brown body, and large, angular, orange-red rock armor covering its torso, shoulders, back, chest, and abdomen, and a thick, cone-shaped horn standing atop its head, appeared on the scene.
