ends the winning streak, VIP experience bonus obtained.

Follow Xiaoming through a grove of trees.

A cleared area came into view.

In the open space, a makeshift arena was erected using rough wooden planks and stones.

Several flags were planted around the arena, with words like "Beast Dojo" and "99-game winning streak" written crookedly on them.

The most eye-catching thing is an electronic counter standing next to the arena.

"This is my personal dojo."

Xiao Ming cracked the whip, his tone full of pride.

"Here, I defeated ninety-nine trainers."

"And you..."

He turned around, his whip pointing at Jiang Chuan.

"It will become the hundredth!"

Xiaoxia pouted: "This shabby place is supposed to be a temple..."

"Enough with the nonsense." Xiao Ming jumped onto the stage and cracked his whip.

Let's begin!

"Let me see just how much of this 'pervert trainer' you really are!"

Jiang Chuan shook his head helplessly.

You can't shake off this title, can you?

He lightly leaped onto the ring, his movements clean and efficient.

Xiaoxia and Hanako sat down on the wooden stakes beside the ring, ready to watch the fight.

"Go Jiangchuan!"

Xiaoxia called out.

Although Hanako didn't shout, she still gave Egawa an encouraging look.

On the arena.

Xiao Ming took a Poké Ball from his waist.

He stared at Jiang Chuan, his gaze becoming serious.

Although he said Jiang Chuan was frivolous, how could someone who has won more than two hundred games really be a good-for-nothing?

He decided to test the waters first.

"Go, Butterfly!"

The Poké Ball opens.

A giant butterfly flew out, its wings shimmering with phosphorescent powder in the sunlight.

Jiang Chuan visually estimated that it was also a common-level (lv20) Butterfree.

It's of good quality and in excellent physical condition, with powerful wings and sharp eyes.

They definitely have solid training.

"Big Butterfly..."

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment and then took a Poké Ball from his waist.

"Then I'll use you."

"Butterfree, enter the arena!"

Another butterfly flew out.

Two butterfly butterflies met in the air and hovered over each other, observing one another.

Xiaoming's Butterfree immediately assumed a battle stance.

And the giant butterfly of Jiangchuan...

It gracefully twirled in the air, its wings fluttering gently, scattering phosphorescent powder, as if it were dancing.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Ming frowned.

"It's a battle! Get serious!"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "I'm already serious."

"Big Butterfly, the wind is rising."

A dismissive command.

Jiangchuan's giant butterfly flapped its wings, creating a whirlwind.

Xiao Ming's Butterfree immediately retorted: "We'll use Wind Rising too!"

Two whirlwinds collided in mid-air.

Bang!

The airflow dispersed.

They appear to be evenly matched.

But Xiaoming keenly noticed that his Butterfly flapped its wings more frequently and consumed more energy.

Jiangchuan's Butterfly only fanned itself a few times and produced the same effect.

"this……"

Xiao Ming felt a chill run down his spine.

This is a difference in skill mastery!

"Don't panic! Use your telekinesis!"

Blue light shone in Xiaoming's Butterfly eyes.

A surge of supernatural energy rushed toward Butterfree in Jiangchuan.

"We also use telekinesis."

Jiang Chuan remained calm.

Both Butterfree used their psychic powers simultaneously.

Invisible forces collided in the air.

This time, the gap was even more obvious.

Xiao Ming's butterfly body began to tremble.

Jiangchuan's Butterfly even had the energy to adjust its posture in the air to keep its wings at the best angle to receive the wind.

"How could this be...?"

Xiao Ming gritted his teeth.

They're clearly about the same level!

They're both Butterfree!

Why is mine always just a little bit worse?

He stared at Jiangchuan's giant butterfly.

Suddenly I understood.

That butterfly was more symmetrical, with wider wings and a more vibrant phosphorescent sheen.

Even its flying posture is as elegant as a performance.

"hateful!"

Xiao Ming couldn't help but curse out loud.

"Just because his Butterfree is a bit prettier?"

"Does this world judge people by their looks?!"

He is not satisfied.

But the facts speak for themselves.

Jiang Chuan uses the same skill with more ease and efficiency with Butterfree.

Xiao Ming decides to use his ultimate move.

His butterfly flapped its wings vigorously, creating a whirlwind of silver powder that swept away.

This attack was quite powerful.

But Jiang Chuan simply raised his hand slightly.

"Get out of the way, then use the sleeping powder."

A simple command.

His Butterfree performed a graceful side somersault in mid-air, perfectly avoiding the whirlwind's frontal attack.

At the same time, its wings fluttered.

A light dusting of powder fell.

Xiaoming's Butterfree was about to give chase when it inhaled the hypnotic powder.

The movement suddenly froze.

My eyelids started to droop.

"Oh no! Wake up!"

Xiao Ming shouted anxiously.

But it was too late.

Jiangchuan's Butterfree landed a precise hit on the sleeping Butterfree.

Butterfree fell to the ground and lost its ability to fight.

Xiao Ming stared blankly at his giant butterfly.

Same Pokémon, same skills.

How could I have lost?

"Come back."

He retrieved the giant butterfly, his face grim.

But soon, he raised his head again.

His eyes turned fierce again.

"It seems I underestimated you."

"But it's okay..."

He gripped the whip tightly in his hand.

"That was just a warm-up."

"Now, I'll show you my true trump card!"

He threw out his second baby ball.

"Sandshrew, go!"

The pangolin landed, its claws scraping the ground with a screeching sound.

His eyes were fierce, and his aura was imposing.

Jiang Chuan glanced at it; it was probably at the peak of the ordinary level.

They certainly have the right to be arrogant.

This level is already considered high-level among outdoor trainers.

Coupled with Xiaoming's brutal training methods, this pangolin's actual combat strength may be close to the elite level threshold.

However, even at the peak of the ordinary level, it is still the ordinary level.

"Pip-Bird, I'm counting on you for the second game."

Jiang Chuan chose the elite-level Pidgeot.

"It's Pidgey, not Pikachu?" Xiaoming was slightly surprised.

Could it be that he deliberately left that silly electric rat outside to make people underestimate his strength?

That's a brilliant move! I almost let my guard down!

"Looks like you do have some basic knowledge, knowing to use a Flying-type to fight my Sandshrew."

"But my Sandshrew underwent special training against its elemental affinity!"

He flicked the whip, making a loud cracking sound.

"Don't assume that flying-type characters are guaranteed to win!"

"Pangolin, let..."

He hadn't finished his grand pronouncements.

It got stuck in my throat.

because……

When Jiang Chuan's Pidgey fully appeared, its size immediately startled him.

Xiao Ming tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and couldn't close it for a long time.

"What kind of bird... is that big?"

He trained pangolins to fight flying-type attacks.

The method is simple—make it round, rotate it at high speed, and then hit it like a cannonball.

Flight-type characters are generally fragile.

If the collision is solid, it basically determines the outcome.

but……

Looking at the giant Pidgey bird in the sky.

Xiao Ming had only one thought in his mind:

If we were to crash into it...

Who knows who will faint?

The pangolin also tilted its head back, its paws nervously scratching at the ground.

It has fought against many flying-type enemies.

Bobo, a peacock, or even a big-billed finch.

But this Pidgey is so big...

It was the first time I'd ever seen it.

Jiang Chuan's voice rang out, tinged with a faint smile.

"Weren't you supposed to be a master of reverse attributes?"

"Let me see how capable you really are."

Xiao Ming's face turned ashen.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and it had to be released.

He gritted his teeth and cracked the whip.

"Sandshrew, get rounder!"

The pangolin immediately curled up into a ball.

This is its most familiar starting stance.

"Then... it spins at high speed!"

The pangolin began to spin rapidly, like a gray cannonball.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

It stirred up gusts of wind.

"good."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

I have indeed practiced hard.

A spinning impact at that speed is really hard for most flying creatures to dodge.

but……

"Pip, the wind is rising."

The simplest flying skill.

Bibi Bird flaps its wings.

A sudden gust of wind arose!

This wind is several times stronger than the one that hit the giant butterfly earlier!

The dust on the ring was swirled up.

Xiao Ming's clothes fluttered in the wind.

He had to raise his hand to shield his eyes.

And the pangolin is spinning around...

The strong wind blew it off, and its spinning trajectory became chaotic.

The speed also slowed down.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Ming cursed under his breath.

He hadn't expected that Pidgey's wind could be so powerful!

"Sandshrew, hold on!"

"Keep spinning!"

The pangolin struggled to keep spinning.

But with the interference of strong winds, it was like a small boat in a storm, swaying left and right.

It's impossible to control the direction.

"Pipika, fly a little higher."

With a clear cry, the Pidgey bird flapped its wings and took flight.

The altitude increased instantly.

Then it flapped its wings fiercely!

An even more violent storm is coming!

This time, the wind also carried sharp air currents.

The pangolin was completely out of control.

It was blown around on the ring by the strong wind.

The circular state was forced to be lifted.

"A pangolin!"

Xiao Ming shouted anxiously.

But to no avail.

"Pidgeotto. Wing Attack, Dive!"

The Pidgey bird, which was fanning itself, paused.

It folded its wings and swooped down like a shooting star!

"What?"

Xiao Ming was stunned.

He didn't expect Jiang Chuan to let Pidgey get close!

The pangolin was also stunned.

As the enormous figure drew ever closer, it momentarily forgot to react.

Just as Pidgey was about to collide with Sandshrew.

Jiang Chuan's voice rang out again:

"Feather Dance"

Pidgey flapped its wings.

Countless feathers fell, transforming into sharp, blade-like air currents that enveloped the pangolin.

Swish swish!

The pangolin was hit by the feather, weakening its defenses.

"Sandshrew, dig a hole!"

Xiao Ming finally realized what was happening and shouted urgently.

The pangolin instinctively carried out the command.

Its claws dug frantically at the ground.

They wanted to burrow underground.

But Pidgey is too fast!

Just as the pangolin was halfway burrowed into the ground, it was attacked by wings!

A loud bang.

Pidgey's wing slammed heavily onto the ring.

It was patted on the back half of the pangolin that hadn't completely burrowed in.

The pangolin let out a mournful scream.

It was forcefully slapped out of the ground, its entire body tumbling and flying away.

He crashed into the wooden stakes at the edge of the ring.

The pangolin collapsed to the ground, its eyes darting around, unable to fight.

Xiao Ming stared blankly at his pangolin.

Then I looked at the Pidgey that had risen again in the sky.

Finally, my gaze fell on the counter; 99 had been reset to zero.

He waited so long.

We've been preparing for so long.

They only need one more game to achieve their 100-game winning streak.

Then he officially emerged from seclusion, challenged gyms, and participated in the League Tournament...

Now………

Xiao Ming knelt down on the ground.

Put on the mask of pain.

…………

Jiang Chuan recalled his Pidgey and jumped off the stage.

He walked over to Xiaoming and glanced at him.

Then, he said casually:

"If you have an attribute advantage, then expand it."

"Why bother becoming a master of reverse attributes for no reason?"

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.

Xiao Ming's body trembled.

I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Chuan ignored him and turned to walk towards Xiaoxia and Huazi.

"Let's go."

Xiaoxia's lips twitched as she looked at Jiang Chuan, who was showing off.

She recalled how Jiang Chuan had boasted during dinner that night after defeating Pewter Gym with a type advantage, saying things like, "Type advantage is irrelevant; finding the weakness is the key."

Now they're lecturing others.

but……

She glanced at the dejected Xiaoming and snorted again.

Let Jiang Chuan show off!

Who told this beast user to say that Cerulean Gym is a third-rate gym?

Live it!

"Wait for me!"

Xiaoxia quickly caught up with Jiang Chuan.

Hanako smiled slightly and followed.

The three left the simple "dojo".

Xiaoming was left alone on the ring, questioning his existence.

………………

On the road.

Xiaoxia was still excitedly reliving the battle she had just fought.

"Jiang Chuan, your comment 'Why bother becoming a master of reverse attributes if you have nothing better to do?' was so mean!"

"Didn't you see Xiaoming's face? It's practically green!"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "I'm just telling the truth."

"Tch, what a show-off."

Xiaoxia said that, but her eyes were full of happiness.

…………

The journey ahead.

Jiang Chuan and his two companions encountered several more groups of trainers on the road.

There are newcomers who have just left home.

There are also seasoned travelers who have been traveling for some time.

Jiangchuan welcomes all who come.

Pikachu, Pidgeotto, and Butterfree take turns appearing.

They won every game cleanly and decisively.

Misty and Hanako also occasionally participate in training their Pokémon.

Finally, after defeating a trainer who used Mankey.

A system notification sounded in Jiang Chuan's mind:

[Congratulations, host, on achieving 300 wins along with Hanako and Kasumi.]

[Task rewards are being distributed...]
