Chapter 6: Mission Accomplished
Rosalina Star House“What kind of berry does it steal the most?” Austin asked.“Pecha Berries,” Rose replied.Austin immediately pictured the pink, peach-like berries—soft, fragrant, and naturally sweet.“So it’s got a sweet tooth, huh?”Rose nodded.Austin snapped his fingers. “Simple.”He pulled a compact Energy Cube Maker from his backpack and got to work, mixing freshly picked Pecha Berries with precision.Finally, he drizzled it in golden honey from Rose's pantry over the fi...
Chapter 425: January Honors and Broken Records
January 31st, Detroit.After a much-needed day of rest, the Knicks came into Detroit looking sharp. The Pistons had home-court advantage, but that didn’t help much—New York’s offense came in like a storm.As the fourth quarter ticked away, Charles Barkley’s voice boomed across American living rooms:“Congratulations to the Knicks! They’ve just written a new chapter in sports history—21 straight wins to start the season! A record across all four major professional leagues in North Amer...
Chapter 424: Passing Of The Torch
Last year’s Eastern Conference Finals — that impossible, long-range buzzer-beater from Lin Yi — still haunted Miami fans.And now, the Heat faithful had another nightmare to add to their collection.Klay Thompson. The eighth pick in the 2011 Draft.Son of former No. 1 pick Mychal Thompson.A man who dunks only when necessary — and whose hairline might just be his source of power.On this night, he buried the Miami Heat at the buzzer.LeBron James stood frozen on the court. He watched the repla...
Chapter 423: Knicks vs Heat End
In the third quarter, as the Heat tried to close the gap, Lin Yi noticed something was off — drawing fouls wasn’t working tonight.Part of it was that LeBron James had grown wiser to his tricks. But the bigger reason? Stern had started loving LeBron again.No one played the carrot-and-stick game better than David Stern. LeBron was, after all, one of the league’s crown jewels — the player they’d invested years into building up. A decline in his shine wasn’t just bad for LeBron; it was b...
Chapter 422: Knicks vs Heat 2
“This is exactly why Lin is such a brilliant leader,” Chuck said. “He controls the Knicks’ offense like he’s got them on a remote. Every player who joins this team gets a fresh start!”“Another perfect assist from Lin Yi! That pass made Klay’s shot look effortless!”O’Neal nearly flipped the desk.The Big Aristotle was already regretting his life choices. Why did he even agree to join TNT in the first place?Kenny and Chuck had completely lost it—they were acting like poets up ...
Chapter 220: Champions League Semifinals, Second Leg

Chapter 219: A Glance Is Enough
“You want me to be the main orchestrator?”Kai looked at Wenger, clearly taken aback.He had thought about this possibility before, but he never expected Wenger to actually try it now — in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, of all times.Making such a bold tactical change at this stage was enough to unsettle anyone.But Wenger, as always, was calm.“The reason we’re trying this now, in the semi-final, is because we’ve already made a decision. And I think you know what that...

Chapter 5: The Berry Thief
Austin also wanted to learn cooking because of the special dishes that the system had not yet unlocked.Anyway, with proficiency, all he had to do was grind.Breeders and chefs are graded, and passing assessments earns them Alliance certification.From lowest to highest, the ranks are: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Elite, Master, and Grandmaster.For chefs above the Master rank, Pokémon food made from specific ingredients—like precious resources or rare berries—can enhance a Pokémon’s stre...
Chapter 4: Celestic Town
"Next stop, Celestic Station. Passengers arriving at their destination, please prepare to disembark."Austin returned to Celestic Town by train from Sunyshore City, located south of Snowpoint City.It’s still inconvenient without a Flying-type Pokémon, he thought.Sure, he could ride Arcanine — and his Shiny Metang could technically fly — but it wasn’t nearly as stable as a Metagross.The former Breeding House sometimes used Flying-types to deliver Pokémon, but this little problem ...
Chapter 3: Next Stop, Home
Austin Room, Pokémon CenterAfter Austin used the random Pokémon item lottery ticket, a chessboard-like grid appeared before him.A glowing white dot flickered across the screen before finally stopping on a round, transparent stone — a gem with red and yellow hues swirling at its core.“Ding~ Congratulations, Host! You’ve drawn the Diancite with an extremely low probability!”“…?”Austin stared at the message for a long moment.Where on earth am I supposed to find you a Diancie?The Dia...
Chapter 2: Arceus Dropped His Backpack?
Austin, who had just captured the Shiny Metang, heard his Pokégear ring. The familiar caller ID flashed — it was his father, Leon Black.“Son!”Leon’s round but still handsome face nearly filled the entire screen.“Move aside, let me talk to our son!”Amanda Black elbowed her way into view, pushing Leon out of the frame.Leon soon returned after some jostling.“Son, when are you coming back? We’ve got something to discuss.”“I’m heading back soon, just tell me.”Leon’s eyes pr...
Chapter 1: New Partner
Sinnoh Region – Rikai Town“The three-way intersection in the back mountain… looks just like the one near Metang Mountain.”Austin Black stood at the fork, gazing at the rugged slope ahead. This was the fourth spot he’d checked, chasing a vague memory that had been haunting him for days.Eighteen years ago, Austin was born into this world — a world where humans and Pokémon lived side by side.To him, this place was both familiar and strange. Familiar because of Ash and Pikachu — faces...
Chapter 421: Knicks vs Heat
LeBron James’s career has taken a strange turn lately.Once the undisputed King of the next vanguard, his reign now seemed dimmed—overshadowed by the rise of Lin Yi.It wasn’t like LeBron hadn’t tried. That summer, he’d spent countless hours polishing his three-point shot, determined to add another weapon for the next time he faced the Knicks.Once, his three-pointer was like a scope-less 98K. Now, it had evolved—fitted with a shiny red dot sight.Of course, Knicks fans had their own spi...
Chapter 420: Win It All
Darko Milicic had long since moved on to the Timberwolves, signing a long-term deal. Meanwhile, Michael Jordan was still running the Bobcats with the same penny-pinching tendencies. Not even Gerald Wallace could get a $10 million contract out of him.Wallace had everything you could ask for — elite athleticism, defense, consistency. But somehow, MJ managed to fumble it. Lin Yi shook his head, thinking about it. When he played, he was ruthless. As an owner, he’s just cheap… and blind.The Bob...
Chapter 218: Finding A Solution
Suarez’s injury ruled him out for the rest of the season — three crucial games left, and Arsenal’s main attacking threat was gone.This season, Suarez had scored 29 goals in 35 Premier League matches, topping both the league’s scoring chart and Arsenal’s tally.Replacing him wasn’t going to be easy.Naturally, the first options were Podolski and Sanogo, but neither had managed to convince anyone. Still, Arsenal didn’t have the luxury of choice.Something was better than nothing.After t...
Chapter 217: Champions League Semifinals, First Leg End
“Damn it!!”Pepe was livid.He felt he’d been humiliated twice, and the rage inside him was boiling over.

But deep down, he knew—Pepe was a ticking time bomb now.At this rate, he could do anything.Ramos glanced toward the touchline, silently pleading for the manager to intervene.Maybe it was time for a change—let Pepe ...

Chapter 418: A Passionate Talk (R-18)
The night flight from Oklahoma City touched down past midnight. Lin Yi’s body ached from the back-to-back schedule, but his mind wasn’t on rest or recovery. Not tonight.He had spent the whole flight replaying Ashley Olsen’s call in his head — the paparazzi. The more he thought about it, the more that quiet anger built inside him.By the time the car rolled up to his villa in New York, the exhaustion had disappeared, replaced by something sharper — worry mixed with guilt. He hadn’t bee...
Chapter 216: Champions League Semifinals, First Leg 6
Arsenal’s attack didn’t end in a goal, but it solved a lot of their earlier issues going forward.Cazorla, finding his rhythm again, was exactly what they needed.Slap!Cazorla winced, spinning around after feeling a sharp sting across his back.“ What was that for?!” he yelped.Kai grinned and barked a laugh. “Fifty minutes in and you finally wake up, eh?”Cazorla couldn’t help but chuckle. “Heh, not bad, huh?”Kai gave him a fierce look. “Now keep it going. Break through them.”C...

Real Madrid and Arsenal both remained di...
Chapter 417: An Angry Beating
The gym in Oklahoma City was quiet except for the rhythmic bounce of basketballs and the squeak of sneakers on polished hardwood. Lin Yi sat on the sideline, towel draped over his shoulders, catching his breath after an intense shooting drill. His phone buzzed on the bench beside him.An unknown number.He frowned, wiped his hands on his shorts, and picked it up anyway. “Hello? Lin Yi speaking.”There was a brief pause, then a familiar, calm voice came through.“Hi, Lin… this is Ashley. Ashl...
Chapter 214: Champions League Semifinals, First Leg 4
In the 13th minute, Arsenal stunned everyone by taking the lead—something few had seen coming.That goal, however, did more than ignite the Emirates—it lit a fire under Real Madrid’s front line.From the restart, Madrid came charging forward with ruthless intent.

Chapter 413: Interlude: The Woman Who Never Doubted Him
Some hours before the Knicks vs Memphis match...The TV hummed softly in the background of Lin Yi’s villa, filling the bright, airy living room with the sound of basketball chatter. Elizabeth sat cross-legged on the couch, wearing a white crop top and denim shorts, a bowl of popcorn balanced precariously on her lap.On screen, a morning show of basketball analysts was in full swing. They were breaking down the upcoming matchup — New York Knicks versus the Memphis Grizzlies — with their usual...
