Chapter 643 - 642: Steven’s Clear Goal
Cain easily defeated Roxanne. Although no one knew it at the time, it was likely that the video would soon appear online.
This was because the gym's surveillance system hadn't been turned off.
Even if Cain didn't want the video to be shared, Roxanne would almost certainly upload it to the internet.
For Roxanne, this battle with Cain was an opportunity for self-promotion.
She had just become the Gym Leader of Rustboro City, and due to her age, she wasn't taken very seriously.
Although the battle with Cain had been entirely one-sided, with Cain sweeping through the fight, the fact that Cain challenged her gave her a certain level of prestige.
And losing? Wasn't that normal?
Among the new generation of trainers in Hoenn, Cain and Steven were the twin stars, representing the highest potential of youth. Losing to them wasn't shameful; in fact, losing gracefully could even be a point of pride.
It's like when Cynthia challenges someone—no matter who receives the challenge, they always accept it gladly.
Because losing to Cynthia is normal, but if someone is lucky enough to defeat her, it showcases exceptional skill, earning them recognition from many online.
The battle between Cain and Cynthia was a perfect example. Although Cain lost, the fight was thrilling and very close, earning him a lot of followers and admirers.
