[Current Progress: 3/300]
"Oh?" Roy's eyes lit up slightly.
This was exactly what he needed!
He was just thinking that the levels of wild Pokemon in this area were too low, and the efficiency of Pikachu and the others grinding for experience wasn't high enough.
And now, he had hit a plot point for leveling up!
300 victories was quite a large number.
But more importantly, there was that upgrade mission — breaking Beast Tamer A.J.'s 100-win streak!
According to his memories of the original story, this A.J. was no simple character.
He called himself a "Beast Tamer" and was considered a fairly strong Trainer in the early stages.
In particular, he had an almost obsessive pursuit of type advantages, constantly forcing his ace Sandshrew to undergo water training to overcome its fear of the Water-type.
Although this training method was extreme, it did make his Sandshrew's combat power far exceed others of the same level.
Furthermore, A.J. had set up a private arena, claiming to be "invincible," and had already accumulated dozens of consecutive wins.
"To safely break his 100-win streak..." Roy thought, stroking his chin, "the current levels aren't quite safe enough."
They were more than enough for average Trainers, but against an opponent like A.J. who used special training methods, they needed to improve a bit more.
After all, this vip experience badge offered an extra 20% experience gain!
This thing was practically a divine tool for leveling up.
If he could get it, his subsequent training efficiency would increase significantly.
He had to secure it... After accepting the mission, Roy immediately decided — he would set up camp right here in this wild battle zone!
"Delia, Misty," he turned to the two women and said, "I think this is a good leveling spot. How about we stay here for a few days?"
"Sure!" Misty was the first to raise her hand in agreement. "I haven't had enough battles today!"
She had just won several matches in a row and was in an excited state.
Moreover... fighting allowed her to temporarily forget that embarrassing little thing in her pants.
"I agree too." Delia smiled gently as she held Eevee. "Eevee performed great today, and I want to accumulate more battle experience as well."
So, the three of them found a flat patch of ground near the wild battle zone and pitched their tents.
Next, the three of them began a frantic journey of grinding for wins.
Roy's three main Pokemon took turns on the field.
There was no need to mention Pikachu.
With its electrical power and the doubling effect of the Light Ball, it was practically a living, walking artillery battery.
The opponents in the wild battle zone, mostly in their teens or early twenties in level, couldn't withstand a single hit!
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
Another Raticate fell, emitting black smoke.
The opposing Trainer clutched his head and wailed, "My Raticate! It's only been three seconds since the start!"
Butterfree's performance was also stunning.
It had become quite proficient in using Confusion.
Combined with the dual-powder tactic of Sleep Powder and Stun Spore, its crowd-control ability was extremely strong.
"Butterfree, start with Sleep Powder!"
"Control it with Confusion! Then use Gust!"
After a series of combos, the opponent would often lose their combat ability before they could even react.
Pidgeotto focused on speed and physical suppression.
Quick Attack was as fast as lightning, resolving matches with a sudden charge.
Roy's commanding style was calm and precise.
He could often determine the optimal solution the moment his opponent made a move.
This crushing dominance in battle intelligence made the Trainers in the wild battle zone both love and hate him.
What they loved was being able to learn something.
What they hated was... they simply couldn't win!
... "I can't lose to Roy either!"
Watching Roy take another victory, Misty's fighting spirit burned fiercely.
She was the representative of the Cerulean Gym, after all.
How could she be outperformed by a rookie Trainer?
"Staryu, rapid-fire Bubble Beam!"
"Starmie, sweep with Water Gun!"
Misty could take turns fielding her Water-type Pokemon in land battles.
Her fundamentals were indeed solid.
Her use of Water-type skills was very proficient, and her timing was good.
Coupled with her naturally competitive personality, her commanding was full of passion.
"That's it! Staryu, the final blow!"
Bang!
The opponent's Mankey was blasted away by the Water Gun and collapsed.
"I won!" Misty wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Roy proudly. "That's my 9th win!"
"Not bad." Roy nodded with a smile.
Misty's fighting style was different from his.
She relied more on type advantages and direct frontal attacks; her tactics were relatively straightforward.
But precisely because of this direct style, many opponents found it hard to adapt.
There were many Ground and Rock-type Trainers in the wild battle zone, so her advantage was quite obvious...!
Delia's path to battle, on the other hand, was full of a novice's greenness and surprises.
There were wins and losses.
"Eevee, I'm sorry..." When she lost, she would pick up Eevee with heartache.
"Bui~"
Eevee would instead nuzzle her face, as if saying "It's okay."
But Delia was a very serious person; after a fight, she would review it before starting the next one.
"My command was slow here..."
"I should have had Eevee dodge first there..."
"I didn't make good use of the type advantage..."
Seeing Delia working so hard, Roy would occasionally come over during breaks to give her some guidance.
"Delia, you can practice the combo of Eevee's Quick Attack into Tackle."
"Sand Attack isn't just for interference; it can also create opportunities for attack."
"During a battle, you have to predict your opponent's actions; you can't just stare at what's right in front of you."
Delia listened very seriously; her commands became more decisive, and her timing improved.
The rapport between her and Eevee clearly increased.
Sometimes, Eevee could even act independently based on the situation without Delia having to give an order.
"Eevee, you're so smart!" Delia discovered with surprise.
"Bui!"
Eevee raised its head proudly... As evening approached, the wild battle zone gradually quieted down.
Trainers either went to heal their Pokemon or returned to their camps to rest.
Roy and the others also finished for the day.
"Let's tally the results." Roy took out his notebook.
"I have 20 consecutive wins!" He was the first to report.
Pikachu, Butterfree, and Pidgeotto had taken turns and defeated all their opponents.
"I have 9 consecutive wins!" Misty said proudly.
"I have 5 wins and 3 losses..." Delia said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"That's already great." Roy patted her shoulder. "To have this result on your first day of formal battling is something many Trainers can't achieve."
"Really?" Delia's eyes lit up.
"Of course."
The three of them totaled 34 wins.
Adding the initial 3 matches, that made exactly 37 wins.
[Current Progress: 37/300]
After tallying the wins, Delia and Misty began preparing dinner.
Roy was responsible for feeding the Pokemon.
Pikachu, Eevee, Butterfree, Pidgeotto, Staryu... a group of little guys surrounded him, waiting for their meal.
"Don't worry, don't worry, there's enough for everyone."
Roy smiled as he distributed Pokéblocks and berries.
By the time he finished feeding the Pokemon, dinner was ready.
Simple stew, bread, and Berry Juice.
But in the wild, this was already a delicacy.
"Cheers!" Misty raised her juice glass. "To celebrate the success of our first day grinding for wins!"
"Cheers!" Delia also smiled and raised her glass.
Roy clinked glasses and drank his in one go.
"Ah—refreshing!" Misty finished and let out a long breath. "Today was truly satisfying! I've never won so many matches in a row before!"
Her face was glowing with an excited flush.
"Me too..." Delia said softly. "It's the first time I've experienced the joy of battling."
"But..." She looked down at Eevee by her feet. "Eevee took quite a few hits today; it must have hurt a lot, right?"
"Bui~"
Eevee rubbed against her leg, indicating it was fine.
"We'll keep working hard tomorrow!" Delia pumped her fist... After dinner, they each went to wash up.
Misty was the first to dive into her tent — she had to quickly change out of those damn lace panties!
After Delia finished cleaning the dishes, she also returned to her tent.
Once Roy returned to his tent, he began summarizing today's victories.
37 wins in half a day seemed fast, but it would slow down.
There were only so many Trainers in the wild battle zone, and everyone had already fought a round with them today.
Tomorrow, only half of them might be willing to continue battling.
They would have to wait for new people passing through.
Moreover, those who kept losing wouldn't keep coming back to be humiliated.
Who would want to be crushed every day?
There was also the issue of Pokemon recovery.
Although the opponents' levels weren't high, fighting continuously would deplete Potions quickly.
He had to think of a more efficient way.
He continued to refine the plan.
He wrote and drew in his notebook.
Goal: 300 wins (currently 37)
Upgrade Mission: Break A.J.'s 100-win streak
Current Situation Analysis:
1. Diminishing returns in the wild battle zone (limited opponents, avoidance mentality)
2. Potion consumption issue (insufficient reserves for Delia and Misty)
3. Pokemon fatigue (need rest after continuous combat)
...Just as he was deep in thought, soft footsteps came from outside the tent, followed by Delia's lowered voice:
"Roy, are you asleep? Can I... come in?"
Roy's brow twitched, and his thoughts were temporarily interrupted.
He looked at the already drowsy Pikachu beside him, a hint of a smile appearing on his face as he patted it gently. "Pikachu, go to the small tent next door and rest with Eevee tonight; it's more spacious there."
Pikachu:??????
Pikachu had a face full of question marks.
But when it met Roy's smile, which carried a certain implication and was not to be refused, it understood instantly.
Pika~ (Understood... prioritizing romance over friendship...)
Pikachu gave a small yawn, resignedly crawled off the cushion, shook its fur, and with a look of "I understand everything," waddled out of the tent to find Eevee.
Only then did Roy say in a low voice, "Come in, Delia."
The tent flap was lifted, and Delia, wearing thin pajamas, nimbly slipped inside, bringing with her a faint, delicate fragrance.
With concern on her face, she sat down beside Roy.
The space inside the tent wasn't large, and the two of them sat very close, clearly able to feel each other's breath and body heat.
"Roy," Delia looked at him from the side. Moonlight seeped in through the tent's ventilation window, casting a silver glow over her soft profile.
"You clearly won so many matches today and had the best results, but while we were eating, I noticed you... didn't seem particularly happy. Instead, you looked like you were constantly thinking about something. Is something on your mind?"
She paused, her voice becoming even softer, carrying a hint of testing and understanding. "Is it because... the trip has been too stressful lately, and you've been... holding it in?"
Delia didn't know anything about systems or missions; instead, based on her past "experience," she naturally thought in another direction — a young and vigorous boyfriend's suppressed desires.
As she spoke, her cheeks flushed slightly, but her eyes were tender and proactive as one hand naturally reached under the thin blanket Roy was covered with...
