Roy took off his weight training suit and stretched his body.
Right under the noses of a group of Top Martial Artist in the audience, Roy nearly jumped to the top of the Gym with one Bounce.
Are you coming back for dinner?
Even the referee standing to the side was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
It wasn't until President Damaranch coughed twice that the referee reacted, and seeing that Roy had finished warming up, he blew his whistle.
As soon as the whistle ended, Roy instantly exerted his strength, pushing off the ground with both legs and rushing forward at such a speed that he left an afterimage on the ring.
Before anyone, including the Advanced Martial Artist from the Kanto Region, could react, Roy had already flashed in front of his opponent and punched him in the stomach.
In an instant, the Pokémon Trainer from the Kanto Region was sent flying backward. The pain made his vision go black, and then he flew off the stage.
"Again!"
Looking at the boss standing on the arena like he had entered the second stage, Chuck knew that his prediction from some time ago was correct.
The champion of this Martial Arts Tournament was predetermined from the very beginning.
Roy's sudden burst of power did not deter the Fighting type Pokémon Trainer lining up below the stage; they continued to rush towards the ring one by one.
It was as if this wasn't Martial Arts Tournament, but a competition to see who could knock Roy off that ring.
Roy accepted all challenges without hesitation. Without the constraints of his weighted training suit, Roy seemed like a completely different person, with his speed and attack power both experiencing a qualitative leap.
Roy turned what was supposed to be a competitive challenge into a personal battle to defend his title.
Mustard and Damaranch explained Roy's classic Fighting type moves.
Damaranch never expected that Roy was not only fierce in Pokémon battles, but even more so in his own battles.
He remembered that back then, only Roy chose the opportunity to fight the Elite Four, and he did so without hesitation.
This young man can Gust no matter where he goes.
After knocking out five Top Martial Artists in a row, those who originally wanted to continue fighting suddenly stopped, hesitating about whether to go on the challenge.
They suddenly realized something: the finals of this Martial Arts Tournament were based on a points system. If they continued like this, they wouldn't even have a chance to win the championship; if they ran out of points, they would be eliminated.
Seeing that no one went on stage, Roy once again Taunt the crowd below:
"Is there anyone else who can beat me? If you can defeat me, all my points are yours, or... do none of you want to win the championship?"
Roy's words had an effect, and the long line below the ring formed again, even when Damaranch.
If they can defeat Roy, they will win the championship. Given their current points, they have no choice but to go all in.
Losing means dropping a point, winning means instant championship.
There's absolutely no reason not to go.
The Fighting type who had already been thrown off the ring by Roy dusted themselves off and lined up again.
Even Roy couldn't resist adding insult to injury and provoking the group from time to time.
On the other side of the ring, Bado wanted to just tap Roy's mouth shut; he realized this kid really wanted to fight a full-fledged Fighting type.
But Bado soon discovered that Roy stood in the ring like a god of war, and no matter who came up, the result was that Roy would throw them off the ring.
Chuck on the judging panel estimated that Roy's level had completely surpassed that of Top Martial Artist, and now it seemed that he was already a half-step master-level Fighting type.
He completely surpassed him.
There's a reason why his opponent was wearing weights while fighting him.
To have this level of skill at such a young age...
Chuck felt a surge of anger at the thought that none of his students at his Gym had made it to the finals.
Suddenly, Mustard, who was sitting in the main seat next to Chuck, stood up and looked at Roy on the ring with excitement. Without saying a word, he was about to take off his coat.
"Master Mustard?"
Seeing that Mustard was about to jump off the ring, Chuck quickly stopped him.
The final battle was so exciting that even Mustard, one of the judges, thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
If it weren't for Chuck and Damaranch, this former Galar champion would have taken off his jacket and gone on stage himself.
Having regained his senses, Mustard put his coat back on, which he had only taken off halfway.
Are all young people these days this fierce in boxing matches?
"Damaranch, I think from now on, the finals of the Martial Arts Tournament will all be fought in a ring?"
Chairman Damaranch ignored Mustard's suggestion; the Martial Arts Tournament's format of using a ring-fighting system was merely an experiment.
This time, the results seem pretty good.
But no one can guarantee that the next generation will have another tough guy like Roy who can take on a whole bunch of opponents.
"Quick! Forget about the other arenas, record all the battles in this arena."
The female reporter quickly spoke to the cameraman behind her.
In fact, even without the female reporter saying it, the cameras had been focused almost entirely on the ring that Roy was guarding since the start of the final.
This kind of scene is something you don't see for many years.
The female reporter felt that the champion on the stage, whose entire body was flushed red from blood engorgement, looked somewhat familiar.
When Iono reopened the live stream page on his Communicator at noon the next day, he found that the awards ceremony had already begun.
With a coach as skilled as him, winning a medal shouldn't be a problem, right?
Soon, a familiar figure was slowly walking towards the podium.
As the familiar figure on the screen became clearer, Iono breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she hadn't missed her master's most important award ceremony.
Roy and the Annihilape stood together on the podium.
One is a champion Fighting -Fighting type Pokémon Trainer, and the other is a champion Fighting type- type Pokémon.
Roy won the championship of this Martial Arts Tournament with a score of 220, surpassing the second-place finisher Bado by 180 points.
Moreover, he was a well-deserved champion of the Martial Arts Tournament, having fought the entire match.
The Annihilape standing next to Roy was covered in marks left by red Suction Cups, making the already ferocious- Annihilape appear even more menacing.
These are the marks left by the Annihilape in its final duel with a Grapploct yesterday.
That Grapploct was just like Kuniko's Bellsprout; its body was incredibly Limber, and hitting it was like hitting a dough ball.
Moreover, countless Suction Cups are distributed on the eight tentacles. Every time the Annihilape tries to throw the Grapploct off the stage, the Grapploct uses the Suction Cups on its tentacles to attach to the Annihilape's body.
On several occasions, they even took the initiative, trying to control the tentacles to throw the Annihilape off the stage.
Fortunately, the Annihilape was more skilled and managed to regain his footing and return to the arena.
After completely exhausting the Grapploct's strength, the Annihilape rolled the Grapploct into a takoyaki ball and kicked him off the stage, thus securing the final victory.
