Chapter 418: Who's Not a Divine Beast Anymore?!
Chapter 418: Who's Not a Divine Beast Anymore?!
Losing two Pokemon put Karu under some pressure.
He hadn't anticipated that Fiery Pepper would be unable to switch out Bear Pupil during the direct clash.
However, as the audience commented, Bear Pupil's condition was indeed poor at this moment.
After using a Close Combat, its defenses were lowered, making it the perfect time to defeat it! This time, Karu considered his options a little more carefully.
Finally, he threw his third Poke Ball, summoning his third Pokemon.
"Karu's third Pokemon, Swift Hound!"
With a large canine appearance, its body was covered in fluffy flaxen fur with black-orange stripes like a tiger, and its demeanor carried an air of authority.
Swift Hound, the legendary Pokemon with a Fire attribute, was a majestic creature in ancient Eastern legends. It was said that long ago, it had fought alongside a famous warrior and helped govern a nation.
In the past, Swift Hound had existed as a true legendary Pokemon.
"Woof!"
A long howl carried an aura of intimidation.
The Intimidate ability was triggered!
Bear Pupil's face was tense, and under the oppressive feeling from Swift Hound's roar, its fur rippled in response to the aura. But it gritted its teeth, showing no intention of backing down.
"Roar!"
Bear Pupil even shouted back at Swift Hound.
A faint wave guide rose around Bear Pupil, enveloping its body and rippling with waves.
Hmm?
Noticing this, not only Karu but even Jinghe was a little surprised.
Bear Pupil's wave guide, further stimulated by Swift Hound, was being brought out even more?
Although Bear Pupil's physical condition seemed poor, Jinghe could sense that its mental state was excellent! Better than ever before!
"Swift Hound, Extreme Speed!"
Karu commanded with a low voice.
Regardless of whether Swift Hound's Intimidate worked or not, the purpose of sending it out was to quickly finish off Bear Pupil with speed.
White light covered Swift Hound as it rode the wind and pounced towards Bear Pupil.
Wave Guide!
In Jinghe's eyes, a faint light also appeared, connecting with Bear Pupil's wave guide.
In their eyes, Swift Hound's speed seemed much slower.
"Predict it! Block its attack!"
Bang!!
In the audience's view, they only saw Swift Hound transform into a flash of white light and then heard a dull sound as Swift Hound's front paws met Bear Pupil's hands, blocking the attack.
To be more precise, Bear Pupil had grabbed Swift Hound's front paws.
Karu and Jinghe's expressions tightened simultaneously.
"Swift Hound, Flash Flame Charge!"
Sizzle!!
Intense flames surged from Swift Hound's body, instantly enveloping it. Due to the proximity, the flames also affected Bear Pupil.
"Explosion Punch!"
Karu and Swift Hound intended to deal damage using their distance, and Jinghe also wanted to take advantage of the distance between the two to execute a move.
Bear Pupil roared, ignoring the flames that enveloped it. With one hand firmly grasping Swift Hound's front paw, it clenched its other fist and stretched it backward.
A dazzling white light gathered on its fist.
With surging power infused into it, after a brief charge-up, it unleashed a powerful punch!
"Roar!"
Bear Pupil's Explosion Punch landed like a raging wave, causing the audience to exclaim in surprise.
"Good!" Daye tightly clenched his fist, as if he were the one battling instead of Bear Pupil. "By grabbing its opponent, this Explosion Punch is a guaranteed hit!"
Wusong and the others, while excited, couldn't help but show some concern.
Daye's fighting style was indeed impressive and exhilarating, but Bear Pupil's condition... It was probably time for a substitution.
Bang!!
The punch landed on Swift Hound's head, accompanied by a whimper, and it was knocked away, its flames instantly extinguished.
Swift Hound couldn't avoid falling into a shrinking state, its head directly dazed.
Bear Pupil stumbled slightly but pursued without hesitation.
Jinghe frowned slightly but maintained a stern tone, "Close Combat!"
The swift and fierce attacks left Swift Hound with no chance to dodge or resist.
When Bear Pupil's fist stopped, Swift Hound was already lying on the ground, unable to battle.
Bear Pupil also sat down, its chest heaving rapidly.
"Swift Hound is unable to battle!"
Whoosh—
"A counterattack!?"
"Others' counterattacks are just illusions, but how come it's real when it's Jinghe's turn?"
"But looking at Bear Pupil, it seems to have reached its limit."
"It can't be that he's going to stall now, right?"
Bear Pupil had indeed reached its limit.
After all, unlike Charcoal Little Servant, it didn't have the advantage of the Life Fire or a 'Leftovers' item, and it lacked recovery abilities.
Moreover, Karu, as a Gym Leader, was terrifyingly strong.
Each of his Pokemon posed a threat to Bear Pupil.
Karu recalled Swift Hound and gently wiped his forehead with a towel.
The pressure was immense.
He hadn't expected to be unable to defeat Bear Pupil so quickly.
Karu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He realized he had been a bit hasty, too eager to defeat Bear Pupil, which led him into an abnormal battle rhythm.
Karu quickly adjusted his mindset, realizing this.
Regardless of Bear Pupil's current condition, he would treat it as if it were at full health.
The thought crossed his mind.
Karu took out his fourth Poke Ball and threw it out.
A bright red centipede with burning flames appeared—Flame Scorpion!
The Flame Scorpion, a Fire-type and Bug-type Pokemon, was Karu's signature Pokemon, known for its heat generation.
As it entered the battle, its flame-like antennae became intensely hot and fiery.
"Flame Scorpion, Phantom Fire!" Karu waved and shouted.
Since he was treating the Bear Pupil as a fully-conditioned opponent, the most sensible and safe way to battle was to use Burn to reduce its Attack power, as it was an offensive-type Pokemon.
"Hiss—"
The Flame Scorpion hissed, and its heater on its abdomen suddenly lit up, shooting out a ball of scorching fire aimed directly at the Bear Pupil.
At the same time, Jinghe also took out a Poke Ball.
Jinghe knew the Bear Pupil's condition better than anyone; there was no need to risk serious injury to the little guy for the sake of others' praise and a supposed 'six-win streak' or 'steamrolling' opponents.
The Bear Pupil had already performed exceptionally, and Jinghe was proud of it.
However.
Upon realizing Jinghe's intention, the Bear Pupil straightened up, supporting himself on his knees, and shook his head solemnly at Jinghe.
Hmm?
The Bear Pupil opened its mouth, revealing a silly smile.
"Kuu~!"
There's no such thing as a general who flees the battlefield! If you're going to fight, fight until the last moment, die on the battlefield, and be wrapped in your horse's hide.
Jinghe: ". . ."
After this, he definitely couldn't tell the Bear Pupil about the Three Kingdoms anymore. From now on, he'd stick to the standard of 'Maka Baka'.
But the Bear Pupil's expression was unusually determined.
Breathing heavily, its thick eyebrows and big eyes burned with a desire and passion for battle.
Why should Dakudo and Darkrai be the only ones with a six-win streak? Am I not as good as them?
All the hard work and training, the 'blessings' of nature, and being the 'chosen bear'... Who wouldn't become a Divine Beast?!
"Kuuu!"
Disregarding its injuries, the Bear Pupil twisted its body and kicked out with all its might.
Boom!!
The Phantom Fire released by the Flame Scorpion was kicked away, and the sparks scattered in an instant, slowly falling around it.
Standing amidst the sparks, the Bear Pupil demonstrated its attitude and condition!
"This Bear Pupil..."
Karu's eyes narrowed as he muttered, even he could feel the Bear Pupil's determination and aura.
This reminded him of himself.
Once a revered Gym Leader, he had lost his position due to arrogance, but he didn't give up. He faced challenges head-on with unwavering determination!
No wonder it could battle in such a condition.
"This is a worthy opponent, so... Flame Scorpion, Inferno Abyss!!"
The Flame Scorpion's flame antennae erupted, and its heater turned crimson in an instant, and a wave of fire like a tide swept over.
Suddenly.
Facing the fierce flames, Jinghe exhaled lightly, revealing a relieved smile.
And the Bear Pupil, directly facing the flames, had its arms hanging down, but a smile identical to Jinghe's appeared on its face.
The fire instantly engulfed the Bear Pupil.
But if someone with Wave Guide was present at this moment, they would have noticed that Jinghe and the Bear Pupil were connected by a shared Wave Guide.
Furthermore, Jinghe's Wave Guide was pouring into the Bear Pupil's body at a rapid pace.
"Then, let's battle, Martial Bear Master!!"
Boom!!
Amidst the abyss-like flames, a surging wave of energy burst forth, followed by a dazzling white light.
Whoosh—
The audience gasped.
"That, that is—!!"
"Wow, it evolved!"
"The Bear Pupil evolved at the most critical moment?!"
Evolution in the midst of battle!
In the dazzling light of evolution, the petite Bear Pupil visibly grew in size.
Its years of relentless training day and night paid off, as its well-defined muscles appeared, and its height soared to two meters.
The Martial Bear Master's aura peaked as it stood tall in the arena, bathed in flames, its dark gray fur swaying, and its headgear fluttering.
The aesthetics of power and the fusion of dominance and coolness were on full display.
"Roar!!"
Within the flames, the Martial Bear Master roared, its terrifying aura skyrocketing, dispersing the surrounding fire.
"Wow, it really evolved!"
"I understand! Teacher Jinghe restored the Bear Pupil to its prime by evolving it!"
"I didn't know it could be done this way?!"
"Who said the Bear Pupil couldn't recover its condition? We just needed to evolve!"
". . ."
The audience exclaimed in surprise at the cool and handsome Martial Bear Master after its evolution.
"Roar!"
Martial Bear Master, reporting for duty!!
---
Last time, I contacted another victim through Miss Junsha and the owner of the Original Breeding House.
As fellow victims, we decided to meet up for a meal and discuss how to catch that damn Pokemon Hunter.
So, we made an appointment to meet and have a meal first, and then chat.
Hey, guess what?
I didn't know until we met, but I was in for a surprise.
The other victim turned out to be a fair-skinned, beautiful, and wealthy young woman! The standout feature was...
Rich, rich, rich!
The victim expressed her frustration at being scammed, but she was helpless to retrieve her money and could only let it go as a small loss.
I immediately expressed my interest in getting a share of that small money. Cough, cough.
I said, "We can't let lawbreakers go unpunished," so...
Cough, please wait for the next chapter for the conclusion.
