"Is it possible to ignore Protect normal damage with such a skill?"
After learning about the Unseen Fist's Ability, Cynthia suddenly understood.
This was the first time she had ever heard of this Ability; truly, the world is full of wonders.
Even knowing that the Mega Golurk possessed this Ability, Cynthia still couldn't figure out a way to deal with it, which greatly troubled her.
Seeing Cynthia's bitter and resentful expression, Roy comforted her:
"You're really impressive. You managed to keep Garchomp in Mega Evolution for so long. You're much stronger than those two idiots I know."
"What I am doing is..."
Cynthia stopped halfway through her story, looking somewhat troubled, because her ability to extend the time for Mega Evolution stemmed from a secret of her family.
But Roy has already told me his secret, so is it wrong of me to keep it from Roy...?
Seeing that Cynthia was in a difficult position, Roy stopped asking questions and led the way.
But Cynthia thought Roy was angry, so she quickly chased after Roy and saw Roy nonchalant expression when he asked her, "What's wrong?"
Cynthia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, she didn't know when she had become so concerned about other people's emotions.
In fact Roy thought that it was already very impressive that Cynthia could fight to that extent, after all, her opponent was facing the Golurk, the first creation of ancient humans with the highest technology 1500 years ago.
Furthermore, he added a Mega Evolution power-up to this Golurk, making the Mega Evolution Mega Golurk capable of going toe-to-toe with High-level Elite Four Steelix.
Not to mention Cynthia's Garchomp and Lucario, two Pokémon that haven't reached the High-level Elite Four level.
Even if he were in Cynthia's position, he wouldn't know how to deal with this combination of two Pokémon.
As they chatted, Roy led Cynthia to the Pokémon Center in Violet City.
Nurse Joy from Violet City was quite surprised to see Roy return. She remembered that Roy had once fought against the Prosecutor sisters from her family.
And Chansey seems to really admire him lately.
"Auspicious!"
Chansey, who was reading a newspaper at the front desk, rushed to Roy's side when he saw Roy arrive and threw a punch.
Roy was a little confused as he watched Chansey demonstrate its punching techniques, mainly because Chansey's punching style looked like calisthenics.
Roy thought Chansey was demonstrating calisthenics to him.
"Very good gymnastics move, Chansey."
The misunderstood Chansey returned to the front desk, picked up the newspaper, and went back to Roy's side. At the very top of the newspaper was a photo of Roy and the Annihilape winning the championship.
"You're watching this year's Martial Arts Tournament too, Chansey?"
"Good luck, good luck!"
Chansey pointed to Roy's waist.
"My Gold Belt has already been taken back to the dojo; it's not on me now."
"However, the Annihilape's Gold Belt is still intact."
Roy released the Annihilape, who was still wearing its own Gold Belt.
"Auspicious!"
Chansey immediately ran to Annihilape's side, looking at the Golden fist on the Gold Belt with envy.
The Annihilape took off its Gold Belt and handed it to Chansey.
"Auspicious?"
"Abandoned!"
After receiving permission Chansey adjusted the belt to a looser position and put it on her waist, as if at that moment she had become a boxing champion.
Roy brought Cynthia to the front desk and handed the Poké Ball containing the Pokémon that needed treatment to Nurse Joy.
Nurse Joy took the four Poké Balls, covered her mouth to suppress a laugh, and said:
"Our Chansey has also fallen in love with boxing after watching you and your Pokémon's performance at the Martial Arts Tournament, and even said they want to participate in the next Martial Arts Tournament."
"Is Chansey going to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament?"
Roy remembered that starting with this Martial Arts Tournament, the restriction on participating Pokémon to be Fighting type Pokémon was lifted.
However, just now Chansey's broadcast-like calisthenics movements...
Roy didn't hurt Chansey. Each Chansey has a different personality; some like playing cards, some like battling, and now he even saw a Chansey that likes practicing boxing.
All he could do was wish that this Chansey with its dream of becoming a boxing champion would achieve its goal.
Cynthia was a little confused when she saw Roy in the newspaper. She didn't expect that Roy would participate in some Martial Arts Tournament and even win the championship with the Annihilape.
She recalled seeing Primeape watching a Martial Arts Tournament on a tablet while on the way to the Safari Zone last year.
Roy had told her back then that Primeape wanted to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament.
Looking at the Annihilape, which was completely different from last year, Cynthia congratulated it:
"Hot... Annihilape, congratulations on achieving your dream."
"Abandoned!"
Annihilape naturally recognized Cynthia; it had lost to Cyndaquil's Garchomp when it was still Primeape.
I want to wait until I have time to have a one-on-one battle with Garchomp.
"Then we'll have to wait until Garchomp recovers for a day before we can battle you."
"Abandoned!"
The equipment waiting for treatment lit up with a green light, Nurse Joy returned the Poké Ball to Cynthia and Roy.
Seeing that Annihilape was also leaving, Chansey, having had her fill of being a boxing champion, reluctantly returned the Gold Belt to Annihilape, vowing that she would get her own Gold Belt someday.
"Nurse Joy, we'll be going now."
Nurse Joy could tell the two were on a date, so she waved to them, not wanting to waste their time.
After leaving the Pokémon Center, Roy saw a small park not far away with an ice cream cart inside.
Roy looked at Cynthia beside him.
Would you like some ice cream?
At this moment, Cynthia was still recalling her battle with Roy, pondering how to deal with the combination of the Dusclops and the Golurk.
But after thinking for a long time, they still couldn't come up with any solutions, even though Mega Garchomp and Lucario managed to defeat Dusclops.
But Roy's Mega Golurk was like an insurmountable mountain, impossible to cross.
