Roy had won countless matches throughout his career, but this was the first time he had made someone cry from defeat.

He didn't believe he had done anything wrong. Trash talk and psychological warfare were legitimate parts of competitive battling. His opponent's poor mental resilience wasn't his responsibility.

Should he go easy on female competitors?

Sorry, but there were no gender distinctions in serious competition - weakness was the only true sin.

Of course, the situation was still somewhat embarrassing.

Crying openly during a competition watched by countless people - not tears of regret over losing, but tears from being thoroughly dominated and humiliated - just thinking about it made Roy's scalp tingle. This was probably the definition of social death.

What made Roy most uncomfortable was that her parent was present and happened to be exceptionally powerful.

He understood the elementary school feeling of making a girl cry and having parents called in for a conference.

"This..." the commentator choked up momentarily, uncertain how to control the match atmosphere.

Fortunately, Zenia seemed to realize this wasn't an appropriate place for emotional breakdown. Still sobbing, she covered her face and retreated from the arena floor.

The commentator quickly recovered: "Failure is the mother of success! A genius's growth is always inseparable from setbacks. What matters is the transformation that follows failure! I believe that after this focused learning experience, Zenia will definitely achieve phoenix-like rebirth!"

If you can't break it, you can't establish it anew.

Roy shrugged and was about to leave when he heard an announcement.

"Contestant Roy, please report for your victory interview."

Apparently this was standard procedure.

Roy was someone who followed rules and protocols. He stood waiting briefly before a staff member escorted him to the stadium's broadcast studio.

The interview session began promptly.

"Contestant Roy, what is your goal for this competition?" the reporter asked.

"There are so many elite competitors here," Roy answered honestly, "so reaching the semifinals would be considered successful."

The reporter nodded. This tournament's caliber was indeed exceptionally high. European audiences had expected Zenia to reach the quarterfinals, with semifinals being a pleasant surprise.

He hadn't immediately claimed he would win the championship. Compared to Takeshi Aihara's arrogant statements from the previous match, Roy appeared quite humble. This was characteristic of Chinese cultural values.

With this in mind, the reporter continued: "This is your first time competing in Europe. What are your impressions of this region?"

Normally, responses focused on European trainer tactical styles and regional differences.

But Roy couldn't help smiling.

"I think European audiences don't seem to understand proper library etiquette. I'll be happy to teach them."

"?" The reporter froze in confusion.

Library? What library?

The reporter remained puzzled until after the interview concluded. Watching Roy's departing figure, he suddenly slapped his thigh in realization.

A library was a place for quiet study without noise.

If the arena was a library, that was tantamount to... silencing the home crowd.

Good heavens.

Was this the Eastern art of sophisticated mockery?

The reporter retracted his previous assessment of Roy's "humility."

As expected, during the intermission following the Round of 32 matches, Roy's interview caused an immediate uproar upon broadcast.

European audiences were still processing Zenia's crushing defeat, feeling depressed and believing their younger generation lacked hope.

In this emotional state, receiving such brazen taunting instantly ignited their fury.

Anger aside, they weren't sure how to channel these emotions effectively.

Physical confrontation? Please - how could ordinary people compete with a trainer? Even non-professional trainers weren't Roy's equals.

Deploy professional trainers? That would be even worse. Professional-level trainers were "official" personnel belonging to state-recognized military forces. Their involvement would create international diplomatic complications.

While some fanatics made threats, no one would actually respond.

They were furious but seemingly powerless to act.

The only available option appeared to be online harassment.

But a new problem emerged: where exactly could they target him?

Roy didn't have Twitter and hadn't registered on any foreign social platforms. They had nowhere to direct their online vitriol. They couldn't scale the Great Firewall to attack him on Chinese platforms - that was enemy territory.

With no alternatives, European audiences could only attack their own representatives online.

The five European professional trainers participating in the championship checked their phones with resignation, discovering that across various social platforms, fans were demanding that whoever advanced must not lose when facing Roy, or they should leave European territory as they were unfit to represent Europe.

Yes, these official professional trainers were being threatened with citizenship revocation.

What kind of brain-dead logic was this?

The five European professional trainers turned off their phones in disgust.

The internet knew no borders.

European audiences' absurd reactions and Roy's comments quickly spread to China.

Chinese audiences were immediately delighted.

"Excellent work, reward this man!"

"Roy's psychological dominance was flawless - absolutely perfect!"

"Brothers, how do you rate the Paris Library performance?"

"High emotional intelligence: 'European audiences don't seem to understand library etiquette.' Low emotional intelligence: 'You're all so noisy, I'm going to beat you into silence.'"

"One thing to say, the 'Arrogant Little Prince' nickname isn't wrong."

"This news makes my blood boil - if I don't share this, I'm not Chinese!"

"Above poster, are you also getting citizenship revoked?"

This incident immediately went viral across European internet, with popularity rapidly rising in China as well.

People following the drama thought Roy handled it brilliantly!

Roy was assertive not only domestically but internationally - the most annoying thing was competitors who became submissive in foreign matches.

Due to this extremely high attention, quite a few people and academic researchers also focused on the changes in Lucario's abilities.

"Can Lucario actually learn Teleport?"

"I can only say there's no precedent for this."

"Pokemon have only existed for a century, and many mysteries remain unsolved. We have a long way to go."

"Actually, all 'inherited moves' encoded in Pokemon genetics are techniques their ancestors inscribed into genes in ancient times, passed down through generations. If Pokemon ancestors could pioneer new paths, there's no reason current Pokemon shouldn't be capable of the same."

"Is this the 'Theory of Move Inheritance Evolution' argument?"

"Exactly. The theory proposes that professional-level Pokemon have transcended racial limits and genetic constraints. Pokemon born from such parents often possess inherited skills. Therefore, the author believes that all inherited moves currently possessed by Pokemon species are actually genetic techniques inscribed by ancestors who achieved 'professional level' status."

Ancestral Pokemon who reached professional level accumulated genetic skills across generations, ultimately forming the inherited movesets every Pokemon possesses today.

This aligned with natural selection principles - offspring of the strong were more likely to survive.

It was similar to how humans living in modern times must have had successful ancestors. Truly weak and unsuccessful creatures couldn't even leave descendants.
