Chapter 248 Let's go eat Ash's forbidden fruit together, Bea!
"Lucario, Aura Missile!"
"Luca!"
Lucario was still a little annoyed after being bound by the octopus's tentacles.
After all, that sticky, wet feel is really uncomfortable for a big, furry dog.
It immediately exerted all its strength, palms facing forward, and a basketball-sized wave missile was quickly condensed and launched towards the Octopus Martial Artist.
"Oh no! Octopus Martial Artist, snap out of it and use 'Insight'!"
The Octopus Warrior, who had been dry heaving on the ground, heard his trainer's shout and quickly stood up, revealing sharp eyes that immediately saw through Lucario's actions.
Then, in a bizarre octopus-like stance, it successfully caught Lucario's Aura Sphere.
After the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the Octopus Warrior was found to have no injuries whatsoever.
"That's something. Lucario just charged in and started hitting me with his bone club."
"Octopus Martial Artist, let's continue using 'See Through'!"
The bone club, forged using the power of aura, slammed down fiercely, but it was as if there was an invisible wall in front of the Octopus Warrior, easily blocking all of Lucario's attacks.
After a fierce fight, the scene looked exciting, but no one was injured at all.
"See Through" is essentially a Fighting-style version of "Protect," and if successfully executed, it can perfectly block any move the opponent makes.
It is prone to failure when used continuously.
But when Ash watched Octopus Warrior just now, he successfully used the "See Through" skill at least three times in a row.
"Has this blue octopus opened yet?"
However, when Ash saw the Octopus Warrior's sharp eyes, he understood that it must have undergone extremely rigorous training to achieve this level.
"In that case, let's show our opponent some respect, Lucario! Wave Missiles!"
Ash and Lucario's auras began to resonate, and a continuous stream of power surged into Lucario's body.
Blue energy balls were unleashed in a barrage, and the long-absent Gatling gun and wave missiles made their return.
Under this barrage of attacks, the Octopus Samurai was finally unable to use his ability to see through to defend himself.
After twisting its tentacles to block the first few shots, it immediately became exhausted and was hit by several wave missiles in succession.
A series of explosions rang out, and after the smoke cleared, the Octopus Martial Artist finally lay down.
"Octopus Warrior is unable to battle, Ash wins!" The referee waved the flag at the opportune moment.
Bea wasn't surprised by the result at all; instead, she calmly returned Octopod to its Poké Ball.
"Thank you for your hard work, Octopus Martial Artist. You did a great job."
"Ash, you and your friends are really strong. It seems I still have a long way to go." I need to keep working hard.
"You're already very good, Aya."
Among Ash's peers, she is indeed one of the top performers, but unfortunately, Bea's ambitions go beyond just being a top performer.
She quickly deployed her last Pokémon.
"Let's have a fight without regrets, please, Hawkman Wrestling!"
This is also a Pokémon that Ash hasn't seen much of before.
It has colorful feathers and a blue-green mask-like pattern on its face, resembling a wrestler.
"It looks more like a Flying-type Pokémon than a Fighting-type."
Ash was very excited about the new Pokémon.
"Well done, Lucario, come back and rest!" He also sent out the last Pokémon that he had arranged beforehand.
"I choose you, Martial Arts Master Bear!"
He really meant it, saying he wouldn't hold back and immediately sent out a legendary Pokémon, giving Little Grey a lot of face.
And Xiong Da made his entrance in an extremely flamboyant manner, quickly performing a set of punches before immediately striking a pose of standing on one leg like a golden rooster and spreading his wings like a white crane.
It seems to really like this pose, making Ash a little regretful that he taught it these things.
"That's so cringeworthy, and a little embarrassing."
However, the martial arts master thought he looked really cool! "Roar~"
The children around were immediately drawn to the martial arts master's cool moves.
It's definitely something that kids of this age would like.
"Ushio, Ash, have you been to the Isle of Cassiopeia?" Bea seemed to know a lot about Ushio.
Upon seeing the large bear appear, her expression suddenly turned to surprise.
It was quite a coincidence that Ash hadn't released Urshifu when Bea arrived.
So this was the first time Bea met Ash's martial arts master, Kuma.
"No, I haven't been there. I met the bear apprentice by chance in the forest."
This is true; it really happened in the forest, and it appeared quite by chance. Ash had no idea.
"Is the Isle of Armor located in the Galar region?"
Could that be Urshifu's hometown? Ash only knew from the system's introduction that Urshifu was a legendary Pokémon from the Galar region, and that was all.
When the bear apprentice was with Ash, it looked like it had just been born and couldn't give him much information.
"Yes, Urshifu is a famous martial arts master on the Isle of Armor, and Master Mash's signature Pokémon."
"Generally, the only way to obtain a bear apprentice and evolve it is through Master Ma."
It's rare to encounter a new martial arts bear master outside the Galar region.
Unlike legendary Pokémon that are usually elusive and rarely seen.
Because the Kumbhmins are very fond of human martial arts, they are considered to be the legendary Pokémon that have the closest relationship with humans.
Although the bear apprentices now only appear in the Galar region, Bea has heard that the bear apprentices in Galar once disappeared without a trace.
The current bear apprentices were actually brought back to the Galar region from the distant mountains.
Perhaps there are undiscovered groups of bear apprentices in the Johto region; that would be an interesting discovery.
Aya plans to tell Sonia or her grandmother, Dr. Magnolia, about this when she returns to Galar, so that they can investigate.
They will be very excited.
"Master Ma is a former champion of the Galar region and the mentor of the current champion, Dante, who is known as the invincible champion."
"Emperor Dan also has a very strong martial arts bear master."
However, Dan Di rarely uses it in battles now.
Like all young people in Galar, Bea's dream is to challenge the Galar League, defeat Leon, and become the strongest Pokémon Trainer.
Therefore, Little Gray Hair, who usually only focuses on training, is unusually knowledgeable about these things.
"I see." Ash's interest in the Galar region grew even stronger.
"If I have the chance in the future, I definitely want to travel to the Galar region, especially the Isle of Armor."
"I'll have to ask Aya to give me a proper introduction to my hometown."
Upon hearing this, Ayaka nodded expressionlessly, then immediately refocused her attention on the battle.
Ash sent out Urshifu, a powerful Pokémon known for its strength, which immediately increased the pressure on Bea.
Ash achieved overwhelming victories in almost every battle tonight.
But Bea wouldn't accept defeat so easily; she was determined to defeat at least one of Ash's Pokémon.
In this final game, the naturally serious Cai Dou will still give it her all.
"Hawkwon, Flying Knee Strike!"
"Martial Arts Bear Master Kenmei, next!"
Using a flying knee strike right from the start, it seems that Ayaka is going to go for a strong attack.
But Ash isn't afraid of Bea either; he prefers head-on confrontations.
The wrestling eagle was incredibly fast; it had already reached the martial arts bear master in the blink of an eye.
The flying knee strike was aimed directly at Martial Arts Master Xiong's chest, but Xiong Da simply assumed a bodybuilding pose and stood still to withstand the blow.
The pain of battle is the best stimulant for the Martial Arts Bear Master, and it makes the Wrestling Hawkman laugh with excitement.
After delivering the kick, the Hawkman tried to retreat immediately, but Ash wouldn't let it.
"Martial Arts Bear Master, Iron Head!"
The martial arts bear master helped it retreat, and his shiny head slammed into the head of the wrestling eagle man, instantly sending him flying several meters away.
"Are you alright, Hawkman? Hang in there."
"Horn~"
At Rainbow Bean's call, the Wrestling Hawkman quickly got up again.
"That's more like it. It wouldn't be fun if we lost too quickly." Ash waved his hand, signaling Bea and the others to attack again.
"Hawkwon, use the Flying Press!"
It's covered in fur, so it can definitely use flying-type moves.
"I knew I'd been fooled." Xiao Zhi grinned slyly.
The Urshifu just now seemed like a slow tank, but Ash's Urshifu actually has an astonishingly fast attack speed due to long-term weight training.
"Martial Arts Bear Master, prepare! Dark Nether Strike!"
The wrestling eagle leaped high into the air, spread its wings, and swiftly pressed down on the martial arts bear master.
Xiong Da, still standing on one leg, remained motionless. Just as the Wrestling Eagle Man's attack was about to touch him, he suddenly swung both arms upwards.
A massive fist, shrouded in dark energy, suddenly struck, sending the wrestling eagle-man flying with a loud thud.
Today, another large hole appeared in the wall facing the battlefield.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the new side quest "Fighting Girl": Please battle against Ayaka and defeat her!]
【获得奖励:联盟币+5000;攻击+2;特攻+2;自由属性点+3;格斗系宝可梦对战券+1】
After the battle ended, the children were immediately sent back to sleep by their teachers.
At that moment, Bea arrived in front of Ash.
"Your Pokémon are all excellent, and I had a lot of fun in this battle."
The girl's face was expressionless, but Ash was all smiles. He was planning to have a real-life brawl with Machamp and Lucario later to catch up.
"I lost badly to Ash this time, but I'm very happy to have battled you." Bea's lips curled up slightly.
That should be a smile.
"Thank you so much for your guidance. My Pokémon and I still have a lot of training to do."
Although she was indeed unwilling, Aya felt lucky to be able to fight against such a strong opponent.
After all, only by correctly recognizing one's own shortcomings can one continue to improve.
Indeed, there are countless masters in the world, and deciding to travel and study in various regions was the right choice.
Ash was very impressed with Bea's serious attitude; no wonder so many elders liked her so much.
Who wouldn't like such a cute, humble, earnest, and hardworking child?
Little did he know that Chigusa and Ayame would soon bring him a surprise.
On the way back after the battle, Chigusa secretly pulled Aya aside.
"Rainbow Bean, do you want to know the real way to become stronger?"
"The real way to become stronger?"
Because Chigusa has made good progress compared to before, Ayame, although she disregards the weak, respects those who are making progress.
Therefore, Cai Dou's attitude towards Qian Cao is currently quite good.
But Ayaka felt something was off about Chigusa's expression.
She was about to leave when Chigusa forcibly pulled her back down.
"Look, it's written in this manual."
Chigusa immediately showed Ayako the book about the forbidden fruit that she had just stolen from her grandfather's secret library.
"This is a legendary secret manual!"
She was a little hesitant to practice this forbidden book alone.
So he wanted to involve Cai Dou in the matter, so that with this genius girl sharing the responsibility, even if Grandpa found out later, he wouldn't be scolded too harshly.
Chigusa felt like she was a little genius.
"Forbidden fruit." Cai Dou lowered her head slightly, deep in thought, her pretty little face slightly bowed.
I vaguely remember reading this book through my father.
At the time, his father slapped his thigh and shouted, "It's so well written, it's practically a martial arts masterpiece!"
But when she wanted to go see it, he always refused her sternly, saying that Xiao Cai Dou's cultivation was not yet at a level where she could see it.
Cai Dou, who was a child, was always curious about this book, and she never expected to see it here again.
"This is filled with the steps to mastering the forbidden fruit of the strong. My talent is average, so I can't really understand it. But with a genius like you joining us, we're sure to succeed!"
"Let's practice the forbidden fruit technique together!"
Then Chigusa enthusiastically promoted the Forbidden Fruit technique to Aya, and even showed that Misty also became stronger by eating Ash's Forbidden Fruit.
"Well then—let's give it a try—"
In the end, Cai Dou was somewhat convinced. After showing martial arts talent at the age of three, she devoted herself to fighting.
He doesn't care much about other things, so he's not very confident that he can cultivate well.
"If it's a technique recorded in a secret manual, it should be feasible, right?"
At this moment, Xiao Caidou's face also showed an expression of being well protected by her elders.
The second match between Chigusa and Shirou is this morning, and it will be a test of Chigusa's training results during this period.
Generally speaking, as Chigusa's teacher during this period, Ash should have arrived at the scene early to observe his student's battle.
But now that the match is almost over, he's still sitting in his room, not moving at all.
"So conflicted, so conflicted—"
Because Xiaozhi is troubled by a big problem.
Ash actually has another Pokémon that is not widely known, named Seadra.
Moreover, this Pokémon is a shiny Gryphon, which has always been Ash's pride.
However, it is very shy and hates being in the light, and usually likes to hide inside Ash's clothes.
But something happened last night that really troubled Xiaozhi.
Two beautiful girls sneaked into Ash's room while he was asleep.
Ash's shiny Pokémon, Gryphon, was subjected to inhumane exploitation.
Generally speaking, if two innocent children suddenly do something excessive like bullying a sea rat, Ash should stop them on the spot.
Seeing their clumsy movements, especially when they bit the sea rat with their teeth, Ash almost cried out in distress.
The poor sea voles were being bullied until they were foaming at the mouth, and they still wouldn't stop. They were so mean.
Surprisingly, Ash's shiny Grubbish didn't dislike them.
On the contrary, he enjoyed it, which put Ash in a dilemma.
After some deliberation, Ash decided to sneak into Chigusa's room and take away her Forbidden Fruit Manual to destroy it.
However, Xiao Zhi took a moment to look at the contents.
Then he quietly put the manual into his backpack.
"Let's keep it as a treasure for now."
The content inside is truly fantastic; it's practically a masterpiece!
Then, I placed a book titled "Essential Knowledge of Physiology for Good Children" on both Chigusa's and Ayame's desks.
Then he left their room.
As he left, Xiaozhi felt incredibly heartbroken.
"Damn it, why am I such a righteous gentleman?"
Today is another day full of righteousness, even Arceus has to give him a thumbs up.
Then Ash had to rush to the battlefield, as the battle between Chigusa and Shirou was about to begin.
"Sigh, I don't know how to face Chigusa and Ayame anymore."
