The Burning Forest froze in an instant.

It wasn't just the trees and Pokémon that froze—even the flames themselves were frozen solid. This "frozen flame" phenomenon indicated that the temperature had plummeted to nearly that of Sheer Cold.

This unbelievable sight sparked amazed discussions throughout the stadium.

Amanla was so frightened she reverted to her native tongue, mumbling, "Why is this Aurora Beam so powerful..."

From the sidelines, Elon assessed:

"It's the blessing of the weather..."

"Blessing from Hail?" Anya frowned. "Unlike Rain or Harsh Sunlight, Hail weather can't strengthen Ice-type moves. It only damages non-Ice-type Pokémon."

"That's ordinary Hail," Elon explained. "This Ninetales has integrated 'Blizzard' and 'Hail' moves into her Snow Warning ability—not just as a simple Ability, but a deep fusion of moves and Abilities. I've only seen this 'Ice Field' phenomenon from that European Ice-type Elite. Roy's inspiration must have come from them."

Anya was stunned.

Snow Warning was Ninetales' Ability, activating the moment she entered the battlefield.

But after this Ninetales appeared, she had concentrated on controlling the weather. The reason became clear: she wasn't merely relying on her Ability but had integrated her moves into it.

The entire Ice Field was saturated with tremendous ice energy, dramatically enhancing any move Ninetales used.

Her master-level Aurora Beam, empowered by this field, reached the destructive force of Sheer Cold.

"The Ice-type Elite said completing the 'Ice Field' requires immense mental strength and mastery of ice techniques, demanding extensive practice and study... Roy must have been working on this since Vulpix was born."

Elon added admiringly, "This Ninetales isn't suited for singles—she's a core team battle specialist through and through."

Amanla recognized the technique.

Ice Field—the signature move of the European Ice Elite that many Ice-type specialists tried to mimic.

That Ice-type Elite was from her homeland...

To be defeated by techniques learned from her own country was a particularly stinging defeat.

For Roy, this was actually his first time witnessing the full power of the "Ice Field."

The extremely high mastery of ice and snow techniques... This level had only become possible after Vulpix evolved into Ninetales.

Previous versions of the "Ice Field" had been merely prototypes.

Of course, Ninetales' current 'Ice Field' remained far from reaching the level of that Ice Elite's Abomasnow. That Abomasnow had studied 'Ice Field' for over a decade and could maintain it without concentration.

There was still a long journey ahead.

After Amanla left the field, the referee asked:

"Excuse me, player Roy, do you wish to continue?"

"Certainly."

Roy smiled slightly.

The Ice Field had just been established, and he hadn't fully enjoyed its potential.

Soon, Mateo approached with a pained expression and summoned his Pokémon to battle.

Typhlosion, Rapidash, Kingler.

This familiar Pokémon lineup made it obvious—he wasn't a team battle specialist at all, just reluctantly filling the position.

"Typhlo!" The moment Typhlosion entered the battlefield, it let out an aggressive roar, while Rapidash uncomfortably stomped its hooves.

The reason was simple.

Both Fire-type Pokémon were immediately assaulted by the blizzard, their bodily functions steadily declining as the flames they produced were suppressed. Only Kingler, with better compatibility against Ice-types, fared slightly better, though still visibly uncomfortable.

If this were a video game, they would see status messages like "Speed reduced, HP decreasing, visibility impaired."

Mateo looked bewildered and turned to observe Lucario and Wartortle.

"Why are these two unaffected? They're not Ice-types either..."

Indeed, this was puzzling.

Ice and snow were typically merciless.

Except for Ice-type Pokémon, any creature present should suffer debuffs—friend or foe.

Yet Lucario and Wartortle seemed perfectly fine.

Roy had no intention of revealing his techniques to rivals mid-battle. As soon as the referee signaled, he launched his offensive.

"Quick Attack followed by Power-Up Punch!"

Lucario shot forward at astonishing speed. Typhlosion reacted quickly, employing 'Flame Charge' to counter.

With Fire-type's advantage over Steel, Typhlosion was confident it could block the attack.

But just as the two were about to clash, Lucario slightly tilted his head.

Almost simultaneously, a high-pressure water jet brushed past Lucario's cheek, striking Typhlosion squarely in the center, extinguishing its flames and knocking it backward.

It was Wartortle's Hydro Pump.

Concealed by the snow and Lucario's body, Typhlosion had been completely unaware of Wartortle's positioning.

Lucario seized the opportunity, landing a dozen Power-Up Punches in a single second.

"PHLO!"

Typhlosion howled as its body was thrown backward.

Rapidash's supportive 'Flare Blitz' came too late. In this 'Ice Field,' its speed was at least 30% slower than normal, its muscles and joints extremely stiff.

By the time Rapidash arrived, Lucario had already completed his offensive and easily dodged the charge.

Immediately after, Lucario unleashed Close Combat.

Close Combat was his strongest melee move. Rapidash, already inferior in overall strength and weakened by the Ice Field debuff, was directly knocked out.

Meanwhile, Kingler had just launched Water Pulse at Lucario when it was frozen into an ice sculpture by Ninetales' terrifyingly powerful Aurora Beam.

Even one of Kingler's pincers was frozen solid.

The power of Ninetales' Aurora Beam had become truly frightening.

"This—" Mateo was dumbfounded.

He wasn't skilled at team battles, but the intensity of Roy's team battles was overwhelming.

Just one round of confrontation had resulted in one knockout, one severe injury, and one disability.

How could anyone fight against this?

He couldn't possibly survive three rounds.

"It's over," the Eastbridge University team captain's face darkened.

In team battles, the phenomenon of "one defeating three" was common.

Even "one defeating four" or "one person destroying the entire team" wasn't unusual.

This was vastly different from singles battles.

In team battles, the focus shifted to "team comprehensive strength" rather than individual capabilities.

Typhlosion, in a one-on-one match with Lucario, could certainly hold its own using its type advantage. Without the "Aura fusion" system, Lucario would struggle to defeat it.

But in team battles, simple coordination between Lucario and Wartortle easily overcame Typhlosion.

The influence of individual Pokémon strength diminished dramatically.

In team battles, once certain systems were established—once the snowball effect started rolling—it became extremely difficult to counter. Take the famous 'enhancement team' strategy, for example.

Roy's team battle system belonged to a category where, once the 'Ice Field' formed, containment became nearly impossible.

Ninetales' Ice Field reduced speed, caused continuous damage, obscured vision, and produced an Aurora Beam with strategic deterrence.

Lucario remained completely unaffected, maintaining super-high speed. When enemies slowed down, he effectively became faster through "relative speed advantage."

Wartortle's ultra-long-range attacks gained an "imperceptible" quality, while its ice moves received significant enhancement.

Plus that inexplicable perfect coordination.

At the national college league level, few teams could crack this strategy. It was effectively invincible.

The captain realized today's match was completely lost.

As expected, the foreseen nightmare gradually unfolded.

Mateo lasted only three rounds before all his Pokémon were defeated.

Ezra, having learned from Mateo's defeat, managed to last six rounds.

Luca proved most competitive, lasting a full nine rounds.

It wasn't that Luca's strategy failed, but rather that the 'Ice Field' duration expired midway through the battle.

One trainer defeating four opponents!

What particularly irritated the Eastbridge team captain was Roy's regretful expression as he left the field. He had ample reason to suspect that if the 'Ice Field' hadn't timed out, that youngster would have attempted to defeat a fifth opponent.

Was he even human?

The captain took the field, facing Philip, who specialized in team battles.

Apparently stimulated by Roy's performance, Philip fought with renewed vigor. In a mutual knockout scenario, he managed to defeat the opponent's top-ranked player.

Position 5 had upset Position 1.

The team battle segment concluded.

Capital University lost only one member while completely sweeping Eastbridge University.

This marked Eastbridge University's worst defeat in the history of matches between these two universities since the National College League's establishment.

All because, this year, Capital University had a rookie who performed like a monster.

When the competition results were announced, all prestigious schools, officials, and enterprises across East China erupted in amazement!
