In other words, even Fang Hang's weakest Pokémon was stronger than Zhuo Feng's ace, Steelix.
Reaching Fang Hang's level in two months wasn't very realistic. Roy hadn't even assembled a full team of six Pokémon yet.
By next summer break, maybe...
Roy thought to himself.
He didn't voice such an arrogant thought.
Whenever there were no Popularity Points to earn, he had always been a humble, polite, model student.

After retrieving his Poké Balls from the infirmary, Roy went home.
After two months away, he somewhat missed the feeling of home.
The moment Roy stepped through the door, he suddenly heard several pops, and a pile of colorful streamers rained down over his face.
"What's going on..." Roy was caught completely off guard.
In the living room, not only were Dad Luo and Mom Luo there, but Mrs. Mu, Mu Xixi, and Mu Tianyang were as well. Each of them held a freshly popped party popper.
"Our great Trainer is back!" Mom Luo said with a smile.
"We threw you a celebration party." Mu Xixi came over and helped Roy pick the streamers off one by one, explaining softly, "They all heard about today's match. To celebrate you becoming a member of the school team, we prepared a surprise in advance."
"It certainly was surprising." Roy wiped his face. "Getting shot in the face with weird stuff out of nowhere..."
"???"
Mu Xixi's little face reddened slightly, and she spat lightly in annoyance.
Beside her, Mrs. Mu watched Roy standing so close to her daughter with a smiling gaze. "You child, if you were confident about winning, you should've told us sooner. We thought it was just an ordinary practice battle, so we didn't go watch you compete..."
"Auntie, it happened suddenly. I nearly ended up late myself!"
