Streak of Victories! Leaving Linhu City! (Seeking Subscriptions!)

Sixty-match winning streak!

Near twilight, Tong Si used his Electivire to break today's winning streak record in the Electric-type battle arena.

At the same time, he also shattered the all-time winning streak record for the entire battle center.

The highest winning streak records in the other battle arenas barely reached around forty matches.

Today in the Electric-type arena, breaking the house record twice in succession instantly made the audience's eyes light up.

"Holy cow, I'm just gonna say holy cow! Who is this contestant number 058 in the Electric-type arena? I'll give everyone present three minutes. Within three minutes, I want all his information, otherwise, fatty over here... is going to use the iron fist of love to deeply caress all you honorable spectators."

"Bro upstairs is really like wiping your ass with gauze—leaving a hand hanging out for everyone to see!"

"True, true. It's just like a sparrow pecking at a bull's rear end—truly and undeniably impressive."

"..."

After setting his sixtieth consecutive win, Tong Si chose to leave the Electric-type arena, though he did not leave the battle center itself.

Instead, he headed over to the neighboring Flying-type battle arena.

The trainers in the Flying-type arena all felt a sudden tightening in their hearts.

Murkrow went on a absolute rampage through the Flying-type arena.

One has to admit, the combat capability of Murkrow, a descendant of the Bird Deity, was truly formidable!

By the time it reached nearly forty consecutive wins, the sky had turned completely dark.

Tong Si originally considered heading to the Dark-type battle arena to let Murkrow spar against some Dark-type Pokémon.

As a result... the remaining trainers all claimed they had urgent matters at home and hastily excused themselves.

Seeing this, Tong Si couldn't helping feeling speechless.

What kind of nonsense is this? What time is it even? There are no opponents left already?

In the end, he had no choice but to leave the Pokémon Battle Center.

Today's harvest was still substantial.

First, the bond between Tong Si and Murkrow deepened even further.

Every single battle was won through their joint efforts rather than Murkrow acting alone.

Its level also rose to thirty-three after numerous battles.

Second, Electivire grew increasingly accustomed to its newly evolved body.

Clearly, as a physical attacker, Electivire adapted much better now, unlike its awkwardness back when it was an Electabuzz.

Tong Si felt that evolving Electabuzz into Electivire was definitely the right choice.

At the same time, through today's consecutive battles, Electivire's level increased to thirty-four.

In the final battle, it even independently comprehended the Discharge move, which could be considered an unexpected pleasant surprise.

...

The next day.

Tong Si prepared to turn all the Berries in his possession into Pokéblocks.

Since he wasn't at the JOJO Breeding House, Tong Si had to use an external Pokéblock-making machine.

Early in the morning, Tong Si arrived at the department store.

Fearing he might encounter the same old-style Pokéblock machine he had used previously at Song Xuyang's shop—which could lead to a failed batch—he specifically sought out a high-end Pokéblock boutique inside the department store.

Operating on the principle that he would rather spend a little more money than risk a failed creation, he began making Pokéblocks.

Three Pamtre Berries, along with a variety of other Berries, yielded a total of twenty-seven reddish-brown Pokéblocks.

One must admit, having Shuckle nearby to help squeeze the juice made the Pokéblock-making process much more convenient.

Not only that, but the success rate also increased significantly.

Shuckle had a remarkably precise touch when it came to juice extraction.

Mostly because these reddish-brown Pokéblocks allowed it to transform into a macho powerhouse, making it extremely enthusiastic about the juicing work.

After an entire morning of hard work, Tong Si finally transformed all the Berries on hand into Pokéblocks.

Twenty-seven reddish-brown Pokéblocks, alongside thirty-five pinkish-blue Pokéblocks.

This supply would keep Tong Si well-stocked for quite a while.

"It's time to bid farewell to Linhu City."

Tong Si murmured to himself.

Having stayed in Linhu City for several days, the harvest had been immense.

Elekid had evolved into Electivire, and its level had risen substantially.

He had also captured Murkrow, the descendant of the Bird Deity.

This trip to Linhu City had been profitable beyond measure.

Tong Si went to say goodbye to Bai Chen before leaving Linhu City, choosing Lapras as his mode of transport once again.

Mainly because Linhu City possessed numerous lakes, making water travel much more convenient than land routes.

Only when they reached the outskirts of Linhu City, where the lakes ended, did Tong Si dismount from Lapras.

"Next, I'll have to travel on foot to the next city."

Tong Si pursed his lips with a trace of regret.

There was simply no way to catch a taxi out here in the wilderness.

If Murkrow were to evolve into Honchkrow, they would at least be able to travel through the air.

Though by then, he would first need to go take a flying license test.

The next city was Nanwei City, located to the west of Linhu City.

Nanwei City was not one of the eleven major cities in Linhai Province; it was considered a small city.

There was only one reason he wanted to head to Nanwei City: the Nanwei Gym.

That's right, Tong Si was preparing to challenge Gyms.

Although both Jiahua City and Linhu City had Gyms, the quality of Gyms in major cities was noticeably higher than those in small ones.

Given Tong Si's current standard, he figured it was wiser to start his Gym challenges from a smaller city.

Along the way, Tong Si took several rests.

It wasn't because his physical stamina was poor, but rather because this road was exceptionally difficult to walk.

Pebbled paths were everywhere, accompanied by various rotting logs.

Tong Si even briefly suspected the two cities harbored a deep blood feud, given why the connecting road was left in such poor condition without any repairs.

"Come out, the four of you!"

Tong Si released his four Pokémon.

Good things are meant to be shared, right? Since the road was so tough, everyone should walk it together.

Murkrow expressed total indifference since it could fly anyway.

Electivire possessed plenty of resilience; no matter how rough the path, it could handle it.

Shuckle indicated that it was a crawler and would simply trail behind Tong Si.

And Eevee?

"Are you out of your mind? Is this pure malice directed straight at me?"

Eevee's chubby little paws found every step an arduous struggle, and the gravel road... was simply too brutal to endure!

After walking for over half an hour, during which Eevee complained a dozen times and finally reached its absolute limit, it hurriedly scrambled onto Tong Si's back, opting to travel while lying lazily.

Tong Si could only remain speechless at this sight.

Meanwhile, inside Tong Si's backpack, the Pokémon egg that had remained completely dormant all this time gave a slight tremor.

However, Tong Si failed to notice. Although Eevee felt the vibration, it assumed Tong Si was deliberately twisting his body to shake it off, prompting it to grab tightly onto Tong Si's shoulders, refusing to climb down no matter what.

After walking for another half hour, Tong Si finally arrived at Nanwei City, the small town neighboring Linhu City.

Unlike the bustling prosperity of Linhu City, this place appeared somewhat desolate—undoubtedly a remote backwater.

"The environment here is decent enough, it's just a bit underdeveloped in its development."

Tong Si sighed with emotion.

Even though he had lived in the suburbs back in Jiahua City,
even the suburbs were vastly superior to this city.

The tallest building in all of Nanwei City did not exceed five stories.

Along the streets, various houses looked thoroughly antiquated.

If this were an ancient town, Tong Si could understand, but the city featured modern architecture—it was simply somewhat decrepit.

"Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the Nanwei Gym?"

As soon as he entered Nanwei City, Tong Si began asking for directions, determined to clear the Gym early so he could move on to the next city.

If he made good time, he might even manage to have dinner in the next city.
