"Abandoned?"
"That's right, this is your opponent."
Ghostly Purple energy condensed on the Annihilape's fist, its gaze fixed on Latias.
Latias felt a chill run down his spine from the emotionless eyes of the Annihilape.
For some reason, she felt that the Annihilape could appear in front of her any second and defeat her with a single punch.
Nurse Joy also sensed Latias's unusual behavior, but now that she was in the Arena, there was no reason for her to back down.
He commanded Latias:
"Latias, use Confusion!"
"Annihilape, Bulk Up."
Two minutes later
After being launched into the air by the Annihilape Latias casually unleashed a Shoryuken, slamming it into the edge of the Arena.
Upon landing, Latias collapsed in the Arena, revealing his circumcision marks and rendering him unable to fight.
After instantly killing Latias, the Annihilape looked back at Roy as if he had solved a minor problem.
Nurse Joy gave a bitter smile as she watched the Annihilape, who had rendered Latias incapable of fighting with just a few punches.
She had anticipated a gap between herself and Roy, but she hadn't expected the gap to be this large; she couldn't even last five minutes.
"It was my fault for poor command. I shouldn't have let Latias use Confusion first; I should have used Reflect to mitigate the damage..."
Regarding Nurse Joy's post-battle summary, Roy still advised Nurse Joy to take Latias back for treatment first.
Secondly, this is no longer a tactical issue. The two are 10 levels apart, so even with Reflect, it's just a matter of one more punch.
"Yes, treat them first."
Fortunately, treatment was available downstairs. Prosecutor Nurse Joy quickly returned Latias to its Poké Ball and left the Training Ground on the second floor.
Nurse Joy, who was at the front desk, was also quite puzzled as she watched her sisters come down from upstairs.
We've only been up there for less than five minutes!
Why did you come down so quickly?
"Sigh, don't even mention it."
After handing the Poké Ball to the other party, Prosecutor Nurse Joy wore a bitter smile. At first, Latias's Confusion couldn't control the Annihilape at all.
After using her Bulk Up, the Annihilape defeated Latias with just two punches. She also felt that Roy had let her off easy; otherwise, the Annihilape could have defeated Latias with a single punch.
After handing Latias's Poké Ball to her sisters, Nurse Joy returned to the Training Ground on the second floor. As soon as she came up, she heard the "bang bang!" sound of fists hitting sandbags.
The Annihilape is hitting a sandbag in the Training Ground, but...
Roy then started strength training, doing bench presses with a barbell.
Nurse Joy was also surprised when she saw Roy's weights; the weight of the weight plates added to the barbell was equivalent to that of six of her!
This means Roy could easily lift six of her, but the weight seemed like a piece of cake for Roy.
And this shouldn't be Roy's limit, because Roy has already filled the iron plates to the maximum.
Suddenly, Nurse Joy noticed a Misdreavus training Mimikyu Coaching the Arena.
Misdreavus commanded Mimikyu to use Ghost-type energy to create a Shadow Ball.
However, Mimikyu was unable to concentrate its Ghost-type energy and could only watch helplessly as Misdreavus conjured dozens of small Shadow Balls on the field.
Prosecutor Nurse Joy approached Mimikyu, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Mimikyu was startled by the sudden appearance of Nurse Joy and hurriedly ran behind Misdreavus.
"Roy, you actually tamed a Mimikyu?"
"Yes, but she's timid, you don't need to worry about her."
"It's nothing, I just think Mimikyu is quite cute."
Hello, Mimikyu!
Upon hearing Nurse Joy greet her and sensing that Nurse Joy meant her no harm, Mimikyu floated to Nurse Joy's side.
After spending a lot of time with Roy's Ancient Gengar and Dusclops, Mimikyu's Scrappy has grown considerably.
They even wanted to scare Nurse Joy.
However, the Mimikyu, who knows nothing, frightens people by blowing cold air on the back of their necks.
Under Nurse Joy's doting gaze Mimikyu floated behind Nurse Joy and blew a cool breeze.
Roy thought that Mimikyu would save him a lot of money on energy bills in the summer, and the breeze Mimikyu was a natural, cool breeze.
Nurse Joy pretended to be Mimikyu, patting her chest vigorously.
Mimikyu floated happily around Nurse Joy, thinking she had really scared her.
Little did they know that in Nurse Joy's eyes Mimikyu was just an adorable, doll-like Pokémon.
Seeing that Nurse Joy and Mimikyu were having a good time, Roy continued his training.
When he reached the 100th set, Prosecutor Nurse Joy's face appeared not far away, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing that Prosecutor Nurse Joy had something to ask him, Roy put down the barbell and looked at Prosecutor Nurse Joy seriously.
"Roy, I heard you're doing quite well in our family?"
"It's alright... right?"
Roy took out the pink card that Joy Lando had given him.
"You have this card?"
Prosecutor Nurse Joy took out the card and immediately recognized that the card in Roy's hand was genuine.
I never expected that top breeder would give this card to Roy.
Having this card means Roy is forever a guest of the Joy family, or even one of them.
While waiting for Latias to receive treatment, Nurse Joy's Chansey played with Misdreavus and Mimikyu.
Roy spent the night at the Pokémon Center in Olivine City.
The next morning, there was a knock on Roy's door.
"Enter!"
The pink Chansey entered Roy's room step by step.
Seeing that Roy was still asleep in bed, Chansey stretched out its two pink chubby hands and tugged at Roy, signaling that it was time for Roy to get up.
"I'll just sleep for one more minute..."
Seeing that Roy had turned over and fallen asleep again, Chansey went to the other side and saw that Little Absol was also sleeping on Roy's bed.
Looking at Roy and Little Absol in bed, Chansey looked helpless. It's true that like Pokémon Trainer, like Pokémon.
In the end, Roy was dragged downstairs by Chansey to have breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, Roy and Prosecutor Nurse Joy left the Pokémon Center.
Roy, where are you going next?
Roy rubbed his sleepy eyes and said:
Cianwood City.
Since he couldn't obtain the most difficult Gym Badge in Olivine City, he had no choice but to go to Cianwood City and Azalea Town, especially since he knew the Gym Leader of Cianwood City.
"Then I'll go take a look at the Hoenn."
"Hoenn?"
Roy was somewhat surprised to hear that Prosecutor Nurse Joy wanted to go to the Hoenn.
Nurse Joy mentioned that she had just been to Cianwood City and planned to go to Violet City next, and then take a boat from Goldenrod City to Hoenn for a tour.
"Roy, let's have a match next time we meet!"
Roy nodded.
Nurse Joy took out a blue Poké Ball, a flash of red light, Latias reappeared.
Nurse Joy then rode off from the Pokémon Center on Latias's back.
After seeing Nurse Joy off, he released Dragapult, who then carried him to Cianwood City.
