Roy's next opponent is an apprentice from the Lavaridge Town Gym, who will be using a Camerupt Pokémon.
Roy's side sent out a Misdreavus.
Logically speaking, the main Pokémon that can become Gym apprentice should be level 40 or higher.
That Camerupt of that size is definitely not the opponent's main force.
As expected, the Pokémon Trainer on the other side looked much older than the previous Pokémon Trainer, and was probably here in the Beginner Division to smear the fish.
Unfortunately, he ran into Roy was also there to fry fish, today.

Roy was initially a little flustered, but after scanning the Camerupt's panel, he was no longer flustered at all.
Very few of Camerupt's skills can actually hit Misdreavus, and this isn't a turn-based game where the opponent will just stand there and let you attack.
Camerupt is not as fast as Misdreavus, and it doesn't have Trick Room, so it's a bit difficult for it to even touch Misdreavus.
"Misdreavus, you need to do your best!"
If we don't count training, this was Roy's first time commanding Misdreavus in battle.
"Dream!"
The Pokémon Trainer opposite Camerupt, appeared serious but was inwardly helpless; he understood his Camerupt better than Roy.
Camerupt's move pool contains three Ground type moves that are ineffective against Misdreavus's Levitate Ability: Tackle, Take Down, and Stomp are ineffective against Ghost type.
How do I fight this?
He had also watched Roy's previous matches and found that there were no problems with his command, but he certainly couldn't afford to take any chances.
But surrendering is definitely not an option; we can only try our luck!
The Camerupt Pokémon Trainer, still steeling himself, gave Camerupt commands:
"Camerupt, use Amnesia!"
After receiving the command, the Camerupt in the arena stared blankly, as if trying to forget everything that had just happened.
"Misdreavus, Shadow Ball!"
While Camerupt was still strengthening, Misdreavus condensed more than a dozen Shadow Ball, each only 5cm in diameter, in front of the Red Orb in front of it and launched them at Camerupt.
The Camerupt's buff was interrupted by the first Shadow Ball. Before the Camerupt could even see what was happening, ten more small Shadow Ball followed in quick succession.
At first, the Pokémon Trainer of Camerupt saw that Misdreavus were only condensing small Shadow Ball, and felt that his Camerupt was not without a chance.
But then Misdreavus fired 10 Shadow Ball in a row, completely overwhelming him.
Is that correct?
Your Misdreavus is using Shadow Ball like a machine gun?
Don't they need to store energy?
And why does this Misdreavus seem to have inexhaustible energy?
While the Camerupt was still filled with doubt.
The Misdreavus in the air was like a giant mosquito, constantly circling around the Camerupt, occasionally firing a couple of Shadow Ball before quickly fleeing. Its attacks weren't very powerful, but they were extremely humiliating.
"Camerupt, use Incinerate!"
Even the Camerupt's Pokémon Trainer couldn't stand it anymore. If this continued, even a mosquito could be sucked to death by Camerupt.
He charged up energy on the two humps on the Camerupt, but just as he was about to aim at the Misdreavus, he found that the Misdreavus had already disappeared.
"On your left, on your left!"
It turns out that Misdreavus had already floated to the edge of the arena while Camerupt was Camerupt its energy.
Under the Pokémon Trainer's command, Camerupt spotted Misdreavus and unleashed a Misdreavus of flames from its hump at the creature.
Before the flames Spit Up Camelback's hump could reach the edge of the arena, Misdreavus floated back into the air and unleashed two more Shadow Ball at Camerupt.
The Camerupt's skill casting speed is too slow; it can't hit the Misdreavus at all.
At this point, we have no choice but to take a gamble.
The Pokémon Trainer of the Camerupt commanded the Camerupt:
"Camerupt, Defense Curl, use Rollout!"
Camerupt shrunk into a ball and Rollout towards Misdreavus; this was one of the few moves in Camerupt's skill set that could actually damage Misdreavus.
"Dream!"
Seeing the large red ball rolling towards it, the Misdreavus found it fascinating and made no attempt to dodge.
As Camerupt drew closer to Misdreavus, Camerupt Pokémon Trainer commanded it to Camerupt.
Just as Camerupt was about to collide with Misdreavus nimbly dodged to the side.
Every time after that, he dodged just as the Camerupt was about to catch up with him.
The audience thought they were watching the annual matador-versus -Tauros match.
Finally, the Camerupt stopped because it was too tired from Rollout around, and lay down on the spot panting.
Just then, the Misdreavus that had been chasing it flew back, and Shadow Ball condensed in front of the red orb.
The Camerupt mistook it for the previous barrage of Shadow Ball and lay on the ground, ignoring it.
The difference this time was that the Misdreavus Stockpile up and condensed two Shadow Ball about half a meter in diameter, which made the panting Camerupt and almost lose its ability to fight.
Isn't that wrong?
The power it had just exerted wasn't this great!
The bewildered Camerupt got up and saw the Misdreavus floating towards it again.
Realizing that he hadn't encountered the other party yet, the Camerupt Fiery Wrath. Ignoring his exhaustion, flames ignited on his two humps as he chased after the Misdreavus.
The key point is that it couldn't catch up with the Misdreavus even after it Defense Curl, let alone now that it's running on all four hooves.
At Camerupt's speed, it can only be easily outmaneuvered by Misdreavus.
The Pokémon Trainer on the command panel could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything about it.
Just as Camerupt was about to catch up, Misdreavus turned around and unleashed a Confusion and Psybeam, stunning Camerupt in place.
They achieved their first victory.
After the male host announced the results of the competition, Misdreavus returned to Roy's side as if showing off.
"Well done, Misdreavus! You truly are the best of my Pokémon."
"A dream! A dream!"
Roy knew exactly what the Misdreavus wanted to hear; in fact, the Misdreavus's mind was only that of a 6-7 year old child.
Therefore, we must Analytic her using child psychology. Roy's words of praise for children, which are typical of kindergarten teachers, are perfect for Misdreavus. Misdreavus happily wrapped her arms around Roy's arm.
The victory of the Misdreavus helped Roy achieve his fourth consecutive win today.
Everyone then realized that, including Roy's victory over Alai yesterday, they had already achieved a five-game winning streak, and they weren't even using the same Pokémon.
Do you call this a newcomer to the Arena?
At this point, no one questioned Roy's abilities anymore.
