The next day
Next comes the part everyone has been most looking forward to.
Students from the Rustboro Academy who didn't have classes all came to the Academy's arena.
This inter- Academy exchange competition is jointly organized by the Jubilife Academy and Rustboro Academy. The two Academy have the same structure, with three classes: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
This year's inter- Academy exchange competition adopts a challenge system; as long as you are not defeated, you can stay in the arena indefinitely.
The rules are that each of the two Academy sends six members to participate in a 1v1 Pokémon battle.
A total of 18 students from the Jubilife Academy came, with 6 students from each grade participating.
The judges were Professor Rowan, Professor Birch, Mediterranean Director, the grade head from the Jubilife Academy, several Pokémon League officials who had just arrived this morning, and a League Prosecutors.
The referee was Officer Jenny from Rustboro City.
Roy represented the advanced class, and he hadn't been to the Academy's Battle Arena in a long time, only feeling that the arena was a bit small.
The battles in the beginner class are mostly small-scale skirmishes, little skirmishes where you punch me and I kick you, and there's basically nothing to watch.
In the intermediate class, Roxanne is the first to fight. Roxanne's Onix has now reached level 38, which is a significant improvement.
However, he can't be compared to Roy, since Roy has a cheat code and an Elite Four teacher, and the resources he receives are several times that of Roy.
Roxanne's opponent was a girl with long, dark green hair, using a level 36 Grass type starter Pokémon Sinnoh Starter Pokémon, Torterra.
"The Torterra uses Leech Seed."
A bright green seed appeared on the large tree on the Torterra and flew towards the Onix.
"Onix, Dig and get out of here."
The Onix used its Dig ability to burrow underground, escaping the flying Leech Seed.
Unable to spot the Onix, the girl with dark green hair carefully observed the movements on the ground, trying to find Onix trace of it.
Before Torterra could react, a vibration came from beneath its body, and Onix burst out from under Torterra's body.
The immense force instantly flipped Torterra's body over. Onix's massive rocky body bound Torterra and tightened its grip. Torterra tried to struggle, but it was no match for Onix's strength.
"Torterra, use Giga Drain!"
A vibrant green energy emerged from the large tree on the Torterra. As it struck the Onix, it also drew a stream of green energy from the Onix's body, which then merged into the Tortoise's own.
The Onix looked pained, but it still didn't loosen its Wrap on the Torterra's body; in fact, it tightened the binding even more because of the pain.
Seeing this, Torterra's Pokémon Trainer wanted to use Giga Drain again to restore Torterra's stamina.
Before Torterra use any moves, Onix lashed out with Iron Tail, instantly making Torterra feel dizzy.
In the end, the Roxanne's Onix proved to be more skilled and won the battle.
However, after defeating Turtwig, Onix wasn't in a good position either. It had taken Giga Drain, which was four times more effective than Onix, and after trading with a Piloswine, it was taken down by Sealeo that came up later.
Roy, who was a student from the Rustboro Academy who came on later, also recognized him; it was Mutou, who had previously used Charmeleon to battle his Flash Fire Litwick.
If it weren't for the opponent replenishing the flames of the Litwick, he would have had a really hard time winning the subsequent battle.
The opponent's Charmeleon has now evolved into Charizard, and its level has reached 39, making it one of the stronger classes in the intermediate level.
After defeating two students from the Jubilife Academy, he lost to the third contestant.
Jubilife Academy was down to their last player, and ultimately failed to pull off a miraculous four-in-a-row victory, suffering a heartbreaking defeat.
Of course, the battles between intermediate and beginner classes are just appetizers.
People still prefer to watch battles between Pokémon with high strength levels.
The director of the Jubilife Academy gently nudged the arm of the Mediterranean Director with his elbow.
"Old Yu, let me tell you, one of our advanced class members is a Dragon Tamer. You'd better watch out for this."
"Oh? Is that so?"
The Mediterranean Director smiled dismissively. "Dragon Tamer?"
He's just Pokémon Trainer who uses Dragon-type Pokémon.
Roy seems to have beaten up Dragon-type Pokémon a couple of days ago.
Seeing that the Mediterranean Director beside him was completely unfazed, the director of the Jubilife Academy assumed that the other party was just pretending to be calm.
However, considering we've been friends for years, I'll have my student step down after taking down two of them.
"Roy, I'm counting on you for today."
Lina massaged Roy's shoulders, feeling the comfortable sensation coming from them, and the young female homeroom teacher gently breathing into his ear.
Roy felt like he'd been injected with adrenaline.
"Madam, you can rest assured that you'll be in my care."
Lina:???
"Whose wife are you calling?"
Lina punched Roy's back with her small fists, but the force was as if she were giving Roy a back massage.
"Now, please welcome Roy from Class 1 of the Advanced Class at the Rustboro Academy."
"Roy! Roy!"
The Arena erupted in cheers the moment Roy stepped onto the field.
Roy is quite popular at the Rustboro Academy. He has participated in the Pokémon Contest, is handsome, and was featured on the Academy's recruitment poster when he achieved a hundred-game winning Battle Dome at the Arena.
The main reason is that the opponent isn't fighting in the Academy's arena, but in the Battle Dome in Rustboro City, so their strength is naturally beyond question.
She's the kind of all-rounder who has both good looks and talent.
Roy originally wanted to do a live stream to gain some Popularity Points, but Lina refused, saying that this was an internal competition within the Academy and the outcome should not be leaked.
Otherwise, it could be exploited by those with ulterior motives and damage the relationship between the two Academy.
After hearing this, Roy had no choice but to abandon his own idea.
The first student in the advanced class at the Jubilife Academy was a Dragon Tamer from the Dragon Village. He seemed very confident and put his Flygon into the battle before Roy could even take out his Poké Ball.

Roy thought for a moment and decided to send his Dusclops into the arena. This guy hadn't fought in almost 5 days, and if he didn't play soon, the bandages on his body would start to stink.
Upon seeing the Dusclops sent out by Roy, the opposing Dragon Tamer, though unfamiliar with this Pokémon, could tell from its Dusclops appearance that it wasn't a very agile Pokémon.
The Dragon Tamer a disdainful smile.
Isn't this just asking me to spin a top?
