It was worth mentioning that the Huaxia Alliance's Gym Badges were all designed around local specialties. Mountain City's Badge, for example, was made from precious stone polished into the shape of a hot pot!
It represented Mountain City's signature specialty!
Holding the uniquely shaped Badge, Hu Bin nearly drooled. How did they make it so detailed? I can even see the beef rolls on it clearly!
Seeing how delighted Hu Bin was as he held the Badge, Yanshan assumed he was basking in the pride of earning it!
Yanshan shook his head with a smile. Still a youngster, after all!
Then Yanshan took out a USB drive and handed it to Hu Bin. "Here, this contains the move manual for Rock Tomb. Make good use of it. The prize money for your Gym battle victory will also be transferred to your account!"
The mention of prize money made Hu Bin even more excited. This was a reward from a Gym Leader, so it had to be a tidy sum!
Traveling all over the place, along with covering his Pokémon's living expenses, cost quite a bit. Only by winning a few Gym battles could he make ends meet!
For Hu Bin, who was hardly wealthy, this felt like help arriving just when he needed it!
After the Gym battle, Yanshan treated Hu Bin and the others to hot pot at a fairly famous restaurant!
That fulfilled one of Hu Bin's wishes, too!
His wish to collect Badges while enjoying local specialties along the way!
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Afterward, Hu Bin said goodbye to Yanshan and Li Yanshuo, then drove off in his motorhome to continue his Badge-collecting journey!
Next stop: Shanghai, the Pearl of the Orient!
Mountain City was a long way from Shanghai. Even by car, the trip
