Chapter 232: The Outlaw Gang Gains a New Member!
Chapter 232: The Outlaw Gang Gains a New Member!
The Torterra didn't lose its ability to fight.
But the intense pain woke it up. It glanced fearfully at the sleeping Ursaring apprentice and then scurried back into the swamp.
But then, the Ursaring apprentice moved again.
It grabbed the Torterra's tail.
The Torterra shrank back, turning to look at the Ursaring apprentice.
"Kuuu~ (－ω－) zzZ"
The Ursaring apprentice stretched out a paw.
The Torterra understood and, after a few fumbles, pulled out a tree fruit and handed it to the Ursaring apprentice.
Satisfied, the Ursaring apprentice let go of the tail.
The Torterra, feeling as if a great burden had been lifted, hurried back into the swamp.
Jing He: "..."
How could they be so skilled and cooperative?
Seeing this, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Was that righteous look earlier just an act?
Pop—
The snot bubble on the Ursaring apprentice's nose burst. It yawned lightly and slowly woke up.
"Ku?"
It scratched its head, noticing the tree fruit in its paw.
Then, its eyes narrowed, and a serious, almost divine expression appeared on its face, as if it had been chosen for a great mission.
It clasped its hands together and bowed slightly toward the vast forest.
"Kuuu~"
Thank you, nature, for your gift. I am the chosen one, and I must rise!
The surroundings fell silent again, except for the sound of the Ursaring apprentice munching on the tree fruit.
Jing He's eye twitched.
So...
It was just not hungry to begin with?
Jing He tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle and took a deep breath.
He then turned to look at Masuda.
Masuda was grinning and talking on his phone to Mieleaf.
"Ah, yes, yes, Little Hehe has already tamed it. Add a couple more dishes for lunch."
The obvious joy on his face made Jing He's forehead twitch.
If he could have taken Masuda down, he might have already acted.
At that moment, the Ursaring apprentice walked up to Jing He and offered him the half-eaten tree fruit.
"Kuuu~"
It smiled at him.
Want to eat?
It's really delicious.
Seeing this, Jing He's expression softened.
No matter what, the resonance between their auras was undeniable.
His expression softened, and he squatted down, petting the Ursaring apprentice's head.
To be honest, the feeling was quite nice. Its fur was soft and fluffy, second only to his Vulpix.
"I'm not hungry."
But as soon as he saw the Ursaring apprentice's eyes, Jing He smiled and took a bite of the fruit.
"The taste is good."
"Kuuu~"
Satisfied, the Ursaring apprentice finished the fruit Jing He had returned to it, then yawned, squeezing out a couple of tears from the corners of its eyes.
"Get some rest first."
With that, he used a Luxury Ball to recall the little one.
Actually...
As long as the Ursaring apprentice didn't fall asleep, things were still manageable.
"It's clear that it really likes you, Little Hehe," Masuda said after hanging up the phone.
"Yes," Jing He nodded, then gritted his teeth, "Thank you, Master Masuda."
Masuda waved his hand and led Jing He back.
"However, Little Hehe, to be serious, this Ursaring apprentice has very high potential. Many people have tried to tame it before, but none succeeded."
Huh?
With a personality that makes it fall asleep so easily...
Oh, wait, a sleeping Ursaring apprentice would be even harder to tame.
"By the way, Little Hehe, can you use Aura?" Masuda suddenly asked.
"A little bit."
Jing He didn't hide it.
For a martial artist, Aura wasn't something particularly unfamiliar, especially since many Fighting-type Pokemon could use Aura Sphere.
For instance, Masuda's Master Karate and his mentor Weavile could both use Aura Sphere.
"That makes sense," Masuda nodded in understanding.
"The little guy has outstanding Aura talent."
Jing He had also felt that.
"Actually, it's not just Aura talent. Have you noticed?"
After a moment's thought, Jing He ventured,
"One-hit wonders and combo moves?"
Masuda's eyebrows twitched, "You really noticed, huh~"
"It learned them by itself when it went to the Water Tower and the Dark Tower."
"By itself?"
If the Ursaring apprentice had gone to the Water Tower or the Dark Tower, wouldn't it have evolved into a Master Karate?
But Jing He quickly realized.
"Did it go in its sleep?"
"Ha ha ha—" Masuda laughed, "That's right~"
"It doesn't even know what happens when it's asleep."
Learning while asleep?
Jing He suddenly felt the Luxury Ball in his hand vibrate slightly.
He looked through the transparent glass and saw that the Ursaring apprentice was doing push-ups inside the ball!
So diligent?
"However, because it's always in a half-asleep state, its mind is very pure, focused only on martial arts."
Is that even a thing?
Back at the dojo.
"Old man, I'll go check on Mieleaf," Masuda said, leaving the training ground to Jing He.
Jing He threw the Poke Ball again, summoning the Ursaring apprentice.
"Kuuu~ (－ω－) zzZ"
The Ursaring apprentice was on the ground, doing push-ups.
Jing He: "..."
He took a deep breath.
"Everyone, come out."
Gengar, Vulpix, Steelix, and Dratini all appeared in the training ground.
The Clever Blacksmith and Gengar were both aware of the existence of the Bear Apprentice and had witnessed its "Good Sleep Murder" technique, so they had a fair amount of respect for its strength.
As for Glaceon and Hakudra, they were more curious about the Bear Apprentice.
"Hoo?" (Is it asleep or not?)
It was snoring with snot bubbles, yet still training.
"Ooo?" (Can it hear us talking now?)
"Ku! zzZ"
Suddenly, the Bear Apprentice stopped its movements, stood up with its eyes closed, and nodded at Glaceon.
"Ooo?"
Glaceon tilted its head, a question mark appearing above it.
"GeGa~" (We should wake it up.)
Gengar, with its hands on its hips, said.
Then the three little ones all looked at Hakudra.
When it came to "waking up," Hakudra was the expert.
Back in the "Dragon Sanctuary," Red Gyarados should have a deep understanding of this.
Hakudra seemed a bit hesitant, given that they would be partners in the future.
But the Bear Apprentice also nodded.
"Ku! zzZ"
It could hear them.
The little ones looked at each other.
Zzz—
The short horns on Hakudra's head glowed with a golden arc, striking the Bear Apprentice.
"Ku﹏Ku!"
The Bear Apprentice's body jolted, its fur standing on end, and the snot bubbles burst.
"Ku~~(‘-ω)” (So tingly~~)
Jing He's eyes lit up slightly.
"Good job, Hakudra."
Maybe he could have Hakudra help with waking up in the future.
"Hoo~~"
The always competitive Hakudra smiled.
"Let's get to know each other, this is the Bear Apprentice, our new partner," Jing He introduced.
The Bear Apprentice scratched its head and extended its little paw.
"Ku! ╰(●’’●)╮"
Please take care of me, we're in this together from now on!
Gengar, as the big brother, stepped forward and shook paws with the Bear Apprentice.
"GeGa! (▼⊿▼)"
The Bear Apprentice was slightly taken aback but quickly reacted.
This must be the big brother of our gang, right?
"GeGa~~"
Gengar grinned, feeling a connection with the Bear Apprentice.
The other little ones, introduced by Gengar, also gathered around.
Jing He looked up, holding his forehead.
‘The sun is so bright today, but why do I feel a chill down my spine?’
The "Lawless Gang" has a new member!
The leader, Gengar, welcomes all comers.
The Clever Blacksmith and the Bear Apprentice, one cunning and the other forceful.
Glaceon and Hakudra, one from the ground and the other from the sky.
They surround their targets from all angles.
Anyone they set their sights on will be stripped to the bone!
"Ooo?" (But what about our family's Hypnosis technique?)
Glaceon couldn't forget the Hypnosis technique Jing He had taught them.
Gengar waved its hand, indicating not to worry.
It pointed to each of them in turn: Gengar, Glaceon, the Clever Blacksmith, Hakudra, and the Bear Apprentice.
"GeGa~ GeGa~~"
(Nightmare, Dream, Hammer Sleep, Wake, and Self-Hypnosis, perfect!)
The little ones' eyes lit up, and they all gave Gengar a thumbs up.
"Ku~~!"
The Bear Apprentice didn't quite understand what they were saying, but it felt that:
Every Pokemon here is talented, and they speak so beautifully. I love them all!
I feel that working with them will definitely lead to success!
Jing He sighed softly.
"Regardless, it seems everyone is getting along quite well."
He would just have to put in more effort.
He would use his "light of righteousness" as a Trainer to influence them.
It's said that Pokemon become more like their Trainers over time.
Someday, they will be shaped by time into his image.
In the dojo's kitchen, Honeyleaf, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander were cooking. Maste looked quite cheerful, humming a little tune as he wobbled in.
Seeing Maste about to steal some food, Honeyleaf smiled and slapped his hand.
Slap!!
Maste's hand instantly swelled up.
"Old Ma, Dande called you," Honeyleaf said.
"Little Dandandan." Maste, blowing on his red hand, took the phone Honeyleaf handed him.
He dialed back.
"Master."
Dande's voice came through the phone.
"Little Dandandan."
"Has Teacher Jing He arrived at the Armor Island?" Dande asked.
"He has. The Bear Apprentice has already been tamed by Little HeHe." Maste wiggled his long white eyebrows, looking quite proud.
"Th-that Bear Apprentice?"
Over the phone, Dande swallowed.
"Yes, indeed~~"
After a long pause, Dande finally came to his senses and muttered:
"Truly worthy of Teacher Jing He."
"So, did you battle Teacher Jing He, Master?"
"Haha, yes, indeed."
"And the result?"
"Lost~~" Maste stretched, saying without hesitation.
He wasn't lying, just gave a little bit to "sell" the Bear Apprentice.
He had long since let go of the concept of winning and losing.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
"Is that so." Dande fell into deep thought.
After a while, Dande spoke again:
"I'm going to train, Master!"
He hung up.
"Achoo—"
Jing He, at the training ground, sneezed.
He rubbed his nose, looking puzzled.
Who's thinking about me now?—
