"Did that team battle almost destroy Eastbridge University? Wow, Capital University is incredibly strong this year!"
"This Roy is ridiculously powerful. Is he really just a first-year student?"
"Though I hate to admit it, there really are geniuses in this world."
"What's strange is how his 'Ice Field' works so well with non-Ice Pokémon?"
"To be honest, I think I'm witnessing the rise of another 'King'..."
The video of this match spread wildly across the internet. On video platform B alone, it garnered more than 30 million views.
The Elekid, who had made an incredible coback from being considered "worthless" and mastered unusual lightning techniques, showed amazing potential...
The only Ghost-plus-Fairy Type, a mysterious Mimikyu with a mysterious aura...
Mastering 'Aura Sphere' and 'Aura Fusion', the strongest Lucario...
Wartortle and Ninetales shining brilliantly in team battles...
After the battle, not only did Roy beco popular, but he also entered the spotlight nationwide, and his distinctive Pokémon left very deep impressions on people.
Among them, Elekid and Ninetales were the most eye-catching and popular.
The forr gained attention because the contrast between Elekid's two public appearances was so dramatic.
Coupled with the fact that people love an underdog story, many Trainers and Pokémon were motivated by this.
If even an Elekid who once couldn't control electrical energy could stand on the national stage and shine, why should anyone give up?
Elekid had beco a symbol of hard work in the hearts of many trainers from ordinary backgrounds.
As for Ninetales...
Well, partly because 'Iceborne' was truly powerful and stunning.
But the main reason for her high popularity was her appearance.
As a Vulpix, she had been cute and adorable—pitiful, but not captivating. Today's Ninetales, however, thoroughly demonstrated her 'snow-like beauty.' In several Pokémon beauty pageants, she had been compared with Gardevoir and Milotic. When considering 'uniqueness,' Ninetales was unmatched in terms of rarity.
Strong and beautiful—who could resist such a combination?
Many Ninetales fan clubs had been established spontaneously across the internet.
After this battle, in addition to the fa of these Pokémon, endless discussions erged about Roy's great strength and Capital University's prowess.
"I'm confused. Didn't you say Roy cos from an ordinary family?"
"Yes."
"You must be joking. A Trainer from an ordinary family has a Lucario, Wartortle, and two rare Pokémon from Alola's spirit realm?"
"Indeed, ordinary professional trainers don't have such rare Pokémon."
"Stop being jealous. The guy earned his privileges through hard work."
"Speaking of which, how strong is Capital University this year?"
"Let's watch more matches before discussing. Maybe it's just that Eastbridge University's style was countered..."
In the next battle, Capital University faced the Crescent University.
In the individual battle event, starting from the 3rd position, Roy sent out Mimikyu, Lucario, and Elekid to achieve a stunning one-versus-four victory.
In the team battle event, the ice field showed its advantage again, and Roy accomplished the feat of "defeating an entire team single-handedly."
By the end of this battle, not a single mber of Capital University had been defeated.
Crescent University was a formidable team. In previous years, they had been able to hold their own against the 'Six Elite,' but this was the first ti they had been so thoroughly crushed.
After the match, the captain of Crescent University's team vented his frustrations on the school forum. In his post, he ntioned that the young talented players on his team had been beaten so badly by Roy that they'd lost all confidence. Knowing that Roy still had three years of competition ahead of him, they all felt the urge to quit one after another. The captain claid he woke up to find his school team was nearly broken apart.
"He is simply a devil who destroys others' self-confidence and makes people doubt themselves," the captain said angrily.
– Demon King.
This nickna was recognized by a small number of people.
And this recognition gradually expanded as Capital University continued its winning streak and Roy kept crushing opponents in various unfair ways...
Then, Capital University once again faced Silver University, another of the "Six Elite."
This would be a match that could truly test Capital University's strength.
All eyes were watching.
In the individual competition, Roy once again took the lead.
In the first round against his Rival, when opponent number 2 deliberately used Snipe Shot, Roy defeated numbers 2 and 3 consecutively, severely damaged number 4, and ca close to completing another "one-versus-three" victory.
With the striker gaining such an advantage, Capital University successfully dominated with a two-to-five score, winning the individual championship.
For the team battle event.
The captain of Silver University personally entered the battle, wanting to curb Roy's arrogant Power Trip. He targeted the weakness in the ti required to construct the 'Ice Field' and launched a fierce onslaught from the very beginning.
However, Lucario's 'Aura Fusion' and Wartortle's Torrent ability dragged out the battle until the 'Ice Field' ford, and the captain's strategy failed.
But he did make a great contribution. He greatly depleted the stamina of Lucario and Wartortle, causing Roy to draw with Silver University's number 2 player in the second round.
They managed to stop Roy montarily, but they couldn't change the final outco.
Capital University won the team battle with a commanding three-to-five advantage.
As the competition results were confird, excitent filled the internet. Roy and Capital University once again topped the trending searches.
"Capital University's strength this year has obviously surpassed the level of the previous Harbors Six Elite! They have the potential to win the championship!"
"I thought Stonecrest University had already secured the East China championship, but now it seems that's not so certain."
"What is there to discuss? No matter how strong Capital University is, they can't possibly defeat Jaxon who has a professional Trump Card."
"Can you show so foresight? Maybe not this year, but Roy still has three more years. If he continues at this growth rate, our East China Division might be able to break North China's dominant status."
"Demon King Roy—not going to lie, the nickna fits pretty well."
"Our East China Division can also produce generation players like Henry and Caroline."
"The future looks promising!"
Having once again defeated a powerful school from the "Six Elite," Capital University's sudden ergence thoroughly proved its strength. At this mont, even the three divisions North China, South China, and West China couldn't help but take notice.
West China and South China were content to observe from afar, sitting on the hills watching the tigers fight.
As for the people in the North China Division, they all felt a sense of dread and concern.
Capital University's current strength wasn't enough to challenge the dominant status of League and Central.
But what about the next three years?
After Henry graduates, who will stop this young man who also shows the potential to beco a champion?
At this ti, Roy, who had made the North China Division fearful and given the East China Division hope, was approaching Elon and making a request.
"Team Captain Elon, I need to rest for a while."
