Chapter 306: Bear Apprentice, Let's Give Them a Little Shock!
Sinnoh Region.
"Wow! That Coalomass's flames are intense!"
Dali sat casually on the sofa, one hand resting on the backrest, speaking with great enthusiasm.
Jinghe was no stranger to him; in fact, he had heard quite a bit about him, especially during his conversations with Serenaata and Elekid. He had also witnessed numerous battle livestreams during the Quartz Conference.
"Tsk, when will I get the chance to visit Sinnoh and have a battle with him?"
Dali smacked his lips, muttering to himself.
Coalomass's flames excited him.
He yearned for a passionate, man-to-man clash with Jinghe, a battle where flames would convey his desire for victory.
Sitting on a single-seater sofa nearby, Wusong gently closed his book, adjusted his glasses, and discreetly glanced at Serenaata on the other side of the sofa.
Oh, Dali, you're truly oblivious to people's expressions.
Didn't you notice that Serenaata's smile grew even brighter when you mentioned challenging Teacher Jinghe?
But it was understandable.
Dali was solely focused on battles and paid little attention to rumors.
For instance, he was unaware that Teacher Jinghe had a formidable student and was good friends with Akasu from Kanto, Kona, and the big sister Serenaata.
"I've made my decision!"
Dali abruptly stood up, "I'm going to challenge Sinnoh's Battle Frontier! I'll compete with Teacher Jinghe to see who can speedrun it faster!"
He put his hands in his pockets and laughed triumphantly, pleased with his decision to challenge Jinghe from afar.
"Roar!"
Houndoom snorted disdainfully at Dali from the side.
Hey, Mr. Afro, do you want to have a fight first?
Although Dali couldn't understand Houndoom's words, after battling with Serenaata so many times, he could read its expression.
Dali's eyes lit up, and he asked,
"Houndoom, do you want to help me with special training?"
Wusong gently touched his forehead.
You didn't notice the change in Serenaata's expression, and you can't even understand Houndoom's gaze filled with anger and resentment?
Houndoom grinned at Dali's words.
"Roar!"
He nodded vigorously.
Perfect timing! After watching Jinghe's speedrun through the Battle Frontier, Houndoom was itching for a fight.
And now, a willing sparring partner had presented himself.
What a nice guy!
"Great! Haha!"
Dali laughed heartily.
"After I clear the Battle Frontier, I'll challenge the Four Saints! It's time for us to take their place!"
Saying this, he strode out with a determined gait that didn't acknowledge any family ties.
Ten minutes later.
Arbok, with his tuft of hair, walked by the garden and noticed Dali hanging from a tree. He scratched his head and said,
"Hey, Dali, are you practicing tree-climbing again?"
Fonian, Battle Frontier.
After lunch.
"Gurgle~"
Coalomass happily took the Vitality Root Tea from the Bear Apprentice and, imitating its manner, took a small sip.
Bitter! Coalomass's face immediately scrunched up.
"Kukaa~"
The Bear Apprentice also took a sip and patted Coalomass's shoulder, acting like an experienced drinker.
As he continued drinking, the bitterness subsided.
"Giggle~"
It wasn't that the tea had lost its bitterness; it was that Coalomass had temporarily lost his sense of taste.
Gramps added.
Hearing this, Coalomass shrunk his neck.
Then, as if remembering something, his eyes lit up, and he took out a piece of charcoal, biting into it with a "crunch," causing charcoal dust to fall.
He then took another sip of Vitality Root Tea and showed a satisfied expression.
"Gurgle!"
Yeah, that's the way!
Watching this scene, Jinghe exclaimed inwardly, "Wow!"
In the entire Pokemon World, only Coalomass would eat charcoal with Vitality Root Tea.
As for Ice Nine-Tails, Gigaforg, and Hachubo, they sat around the table, enjoying delicious desserts and Energy Cubes.
They couldn't even taste the Vitality Root Tea.
Yasha, sitting nearby, rubbed her eyes and said with a stutter:
"Te, teacher, you asked me to buy charcoal for Coalomass to eat?"
"What's wrong?"
A question mark appeared above Yasha's head.
At that moment, she even felt like she wasn't a true Fire-type Pokemon Trainer.
Charcoal is a tool used to enhance the power of Fire-type moves, right? When did it become food?
"N, nothing. What an innovative use of an item." Yasha forced a laugh.
Jinghe gave a dry laugh.
"Since it's a Fire-type Pokemon, isn't it reasonable for it to eat charcoal?"
Besides, Coalomass is essentially a piece of charcoal.
There's no need to be surprised.
However, witnessing this scene, Yasha and the others understood why Coalomass's Fire-type moves were so powerful.
Eating charcoal as a snack, how could it not be strong?
Afternoon.
Jinghe and his group arrived at the Battle Colosseum.
This facility resembled a dojo and was the fourth battle facility he had chosen.
The test of this battle facility was the trainer's and Pokemon's perseverance, and if they passed, they would receive the "Emblem of Perseverance."
According to the rules of this facility, perseverance was defined by the heart, technique, and body.
These represented the number of consecutive attacks, critical hits, and remaining health, respectively, and the winner was determined by the final score, not just by defeating the opponent.
This meant that dominating the Battle Colosseum also required a bit of luck.
Of course, it was not entirely wrong to interpret it as "showing perseverance" or "getting back up."
"Kukaa!" exclaimed the Bear Apprentice as he followed Teacher Jinghe into the Battle Colosseum, gazing at the stone-paved square and the rows of disciplined apprentices practicing their punches.
The sight reminded him of Master Mathis's Dojo on Armor Island.
He clenched his fist, feeling a surge of emotion.
Since leaving Armor Island, he had grown and improved significantly.
He wondered if the intelligent and eloquent wild Pokemon on Armor Island ever thought of him.
"Teacher Jinghe!" exclaimed the Bear Apprentice as they entered the Battle Colosseum.
Suddenly, the leader of the Battle Colosseum, Master Cucumber Fragrance, appeared with a light step, landing gracefully before Teacher Jinghe and his apprentice.
Her face flushed slightly, and she struggled to control her rapid breathing, her small fists clenched tightly.
But how could she not be excited to meet her idol?
"Teacher Jinghe, I've been waiting for you!" she exclaimed, bowing deeply at a ninety-degree angle. "It's such an honor to receive your guidance!"
To be honest, Teacher Jinghe was taken aback.
What was going on? Guidance?
He had come to challenge the Battle Colosseum, hadn't he?
Then he slowly remembered that the person before him, Master Cucumber Fragrance, was also a martial artist. Her role models were Master Mathis and Xi Ba.
However, compared to Xi Ba and Master Mathis, Master Cucumber Fragrance was still somewhat inferior.
So, was she a cute and capable martial artist who could spar with Fighting-type Pokemon?
Unbeknownst to him, Teacher Jinghe's reputation in the martial artist community seemed to surpass that of the Junsha Clan and the Joy Clan, thanks to his association with Master Mathis and Xi Ba.
"I'm here to challenge the Battle Colosseum," Teacher Jinghe coughed lightly and said.
Master Cucumber Fragrance stood up, clasped her hands in a respectful gesture, and nodded firmly.
"Understood!" she replied.
She waved her hand and called out to her apprentices, "Disperse! Teacher Jinghe is here to guide us in improving our martial arts skills!"
No, that's not what I said.
I specifically mentioned challenging the Battle Colosseum, not offering guidance.
"Teacher Jinghe, will you be guiding us personally?" Master Cucumber Fragrance asked, assuming a martial arts opening stance, her expression turning serious.
Teacher Jinghe: "..."
If only I could transform my Aura into Wave Missiles right now, he thought.
"Well, let's use Pokemon instead," he said aloud.
Master Cucumber Fragrance's face showed a hint of disappointment.
She had heard that Teacher Jinghe was a powerful martial master, capable of facing off against Master Mathis and Xi Ba, the Sinnoh Champion.
Sparring with such a skilled opponent would undoubtedly enhance her martial arts techniques significantly.
However, she quickly dismissed her disappointment.
Having Teacher Jinghe's Pokemon guide her in martial arts would also bring her considerable benefits!
Master Cucumber Fragrance, you should be content!
She gently patted her cheeks.
Seeing her expression, Teacher Jinghe paused for a moment before saying, "In the future, if the opportunity arises, I can bring you a 'Super Rookie' Superman. I'm sure you'll have a chance to spar with him."
Super Rookie, the choice is yours!
Master Cucumber Fragrance's eyes lit up.
"You have my word!" she exclaimed.
Teacher Jinghe nodded.
Anyway, it's highly likely that Ash will challenge the Battle Frontier in the future.
"Um..." Master Cucumber Fragrance hesitated for a moment, then continued, "If I can earn your approval, could we take a photo together after the assessment?"
"Er..."
Although something felt a bit odd, Teacher Jinghe nodded again.
The viewers in the live stream, after hearing the conversation between Teacher Jinghe and Master Cucumber Fragrance, exclaimed, "Inside scoop! It's definitely an inside scoop!"
"Tomorrow's Headline: Teacher Jinghe Speedruns the Battle Frontier, Insider Information!"
"Jokes aside, wasn't this supposed to be a challenge at the Battle Colosseum? How did it turn into guidance?"
"Don't you know that Teacher Jinghe is a martial master?"
"..."
As the viewers' half-joking, half-serious comments filled the chat, the ground outside the Battle Colosseum was cleared.
At the referee's signal, Teacher Jinghe and Master Cucumber Fragrance took their positions on opposite sides.
"Please summon your Pokemon, contestants!" the referee announced.
Without hesitation, Master Cucumber Fragrance threw her Poke Ball.
A massive Heracross appeared before her, its body covered in an iron-like exoskeleton, and its signature large and sturdy horn protruding from its forehead.
"Heracross, the Unicorn Pokemon, a dual Bug/Fighting-type, is a Pokemon known for its gentle nature and terrifying strength!"
Testing endurance, consecutive attacks, and critical hits, there was no better Pokemon in Teacher Jinghe's team for this challenge than Heracross.
"Go, Bear Apprentice!" Teacher Jinghe waved his hand, and the Bear Apprentice eagerly ran into the arena.
Consecutive attacks were the essence of the Combo Technique, while critical hits were the essence of the One-Hit Technique.
In essence, the Battle Colosseum tested simplified versions of Master Mathis and Xi Ba's Combo and One-Hit Techniques.
Therefore, no one could be more suitable for this battle than the Bear Apprentice, who had mastered both styles.
Moreover, upon entering the Battle Colosseum, which resembled a dojo, the Bear Apprentice seemed filled with excitement and anticipation.
It was unclear if it was due to the Vitality Root Tea or some other reason, but the Bear Apprentice was brimming with energy and eager for a challenge.
"Kukaa!! ()" it cried out.
Teacher Jinghe smiled and said, "Then, Bear Apprentice, show them a little of your power!"

PS: I'm done; it's too dizzying. I almost threw up after fighting the Beedrill.
