Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

Waterfall is a Water-type physical attack move that gathers a waterfall-like stream of water and rushes towards the opponent with tremendous force, with a chance to cause the opponent to flinch.

Physical attack moves, naturally, have greater power the higher the physical attack.

How high is the physical attack after just experiencing a berserk battle?

It's about eight or nine stories high!

Oh, by the way, this isn't a metaphor, it's a realistic description.

"boom!!!"

A towering wave nearly thirty meters high instantly enveloped the sandstorm that covered the entire area.

Even the sandstorm energy ball floating on the ceiling of the venue was submerged by this giant wave.

In an instant, the enormous volume of water shattered the energy sphere, and all the sand and dust were swept away by the giant wave.

Fortunately, the dojo's arena was specially constructed, so even though the daring waterfall climbing generated an extremely large volume of water, it did not affect Yu Bo and his two companions in the audience.

At most, the museum owner directed He Youliang on the high platform and Han Yu on the referee's table to sway a few times.

Once the shaking stopped and the water flowed away through the drainage ditch, everyone could finally see the scene of the battlefield.

The once pervasive yellow sand has long since disappeared.

The clods of earth that had been shattered by the shields were completely washed away by the giant waves.

At this moment, in the bare battlefield, only the imposing and awe-inspiring figure stood proudly, his silver armor gleaming under the lights, and...

Its eyes turned into mosquito coils, and its whole body was soaking wet, like a pitiful hippopotamus that had just been pulled out of the river.

[Ding! Armored Warrior (51) has defeated Hippo Beast (67). Permanent Mission 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is significantly higher than yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 67 points. Armored Warrior's growth level has received a moderate boost!]

..............................

[Ding! Target detected as the objective of Permanent Mission 16 - Badge Collector. Bonus points: 670!]

..............................

"It's...it's over in seconds?"

In the audience, watching the hippopotamus slump to the ground, Yu Bo swallowed hard.

Also, wasn't the power of the waterfall you just climbed a bit too exaggerated?

Keep in mind that there are no rivers, lakes, or seas here, and the area is even experiencing dry sandstorms.

Just like a skyscraper rising from the ground, it summons such a terrifying waterfall, like a tsunami.

Are you the Water-type Trainer, or am I?

"The hippopotamus beast is incapacitated; the victor is the armored warrior who challenged it!"

Referee Han Yu's voice brought the people present back to their senses.

He Youliang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at Mu Yun's young face and then at Da Dan's high fighting spirit, he finally closed his mouth in silence.

He silently put the hippopotamus away.

It's true, the new generation pushes the old generation aside, and the old generation gets slapped to death on the beach!

"Swamp Monster, thank you for your hard work."

He Youliang picked up a Poké Ball and murmured something softly.

Awesome!

A giant swamp monster of similarly robust size appeared in front of He Youliang.

He turned around with a hint of doubt and glanced at He Youliang, who looked dejected.

What happened?

What's so hard about playing in a competition? It's not like it's the first time.

Honestly, is this just getting old and becoming sentimental?

Swamp Monster muttered to itself, then looked at the armored warrior in the distance with fighting spirit.

He recognized the armored warrior; he was a cowardly elf who often dragged his teammates down.

Hand it over to him, and he'll make it easy for you to get it...

Daring! Take this: a 40-layer Berserker's Shell Blade!!

Keep going, keep going!!

[Ding! Armored Warrior (51) has defeated Swamp Monster (69). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is significantly higher than yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 69 points. Armored Warrior's growth level has received a moderate boost!]

[Ding! Target detected as the objective of Permanent Mission 16 - Badge Collector. Bonus points: 690!]

..............................

Old Deng, you're really going to make things difficult for me!!!

These were the last thoughts in the Swampert's mind before it fell unconscious.

"The Swampert is incapacitated; the victor is the challenger—Mu Yun!"

After the battle, He Youliang put away the unconscious Swamp Monster.

Swampert, you've had a tough time!

The organization will remember your contributions; they'll treat you to a massage at the aquarium tonight!

"Congratulations! You have obtained the Level 3 Badge of the Silver Continent Gym!"

He Youliang walked up to Mu Yun and handed him a metal coin that was similar in shape and size to the Songjiang badge.

Like the Songjiang badge, the Yinzhou badge also features the unique geographical features and cultural landscape of Yinzhou City.

Of course, it's not really that unique.

..............................

[Ding! Detected that the host has defeated the city-level gym leader, He Youliang, and obtained the Level 3 badge of the Yinzhou Gym. Rewards have been issued!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Storage Space Expansion Card (5m³)*1, a Medium Energy Cube Recipe (any attribute)*1, and a Skill Learning/Memory (any attribute)*1!]

..............................

"Thank you, Master He."

Mu Yun took the badge and placed it in a special badge collection box.

At this point, the level 3 badge has been increased by 1.

I'm only six badges away from registering for the Silver Tournament.

If everything goes smoothly, you should be able to collect all the Pokémon by the time you arrive in Jiakou City and collect the Iron Dumbbell Pokémon Egg.

It's worth mentioning that even if you collect all eight badges, you can still continue to challenge gyms and collect more badges if you want.

However, if you continue the challenge after collecting all eight badges, it will no longer be a fixed three-on-three match, but the number of matches will be decided by the gym leader.

It can be a one-on-one speed race, or a six-on-six all-out battle.

The original intention of this rule is very simple: to make people who have nothing better to do and are just collecting badges hurry up and finish so as not to delay others.

After leaving the Yinzhou Dojo, Mu Yun casually used the reward he had received.

With one storage space expansion card, the total volume of the space has reached 41m³.

Basically, it can hold the vast majority of items currently existing on the planet.

As for the intermediate energy cube, Mu Yun chose the normal attribute.

Normal type moves are generally known to Pokémon of that type, so choosing this one offers great value for money.

As for learning and memorizing moves, Mu Yun decided to choose the Steel type.

As the first pseudo-legendary Pokémon he's about to acquire, it's perfectly reasonable for him to learn a few more moves.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a copy of the [Move - Gyro Ball] learning memory]

..............................

After using up his rewards, Mu Yun glanced at the bright, cloudless sky and decisively chose to leave Yinzhou City to continue collecting badges.

Over the next two weeks, Mu Yun traveled between five cities at an average rate of one city every three days.

Among them, apart from the provincial-level dojo located in Liaoshi, the capital of Liaoning Province, the other four cities each contributed a level three badge to Muyun.

In addition to providing nearly 10,000 points, the four city-level dojos also increased Mu Yun's storage space by another 20 cubic meters.

The four different energy block recipes further enriched Mu Yun's reserves.

As for learning and memorizing the four moves, Mu Yun didn't give them all to Tie Dumbbell. Instead, he distributed them one to each of Xiao Wen, A Ren, and Xiao Yan, and the remaining one was the Psychic-type move that Tie Dumbbell was chosen to learn.

..............................

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a copy of the learning memory for [Moves: Sleep/Sucking Kiss/Sludge Bomb/Fire Blast]]

..............................

After everything was arranged, Mu Yun finally left the border of Liao Province and officially entered the territory of Beihe Province on the first day of July.
