Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Chapter 183 The Evolution of Ursaring

Chapter 183 The Evolution of Ursaring

"Xiao Gang?"

"Ash!"

"How did you end up here?" Xiao Zhi was overjoyed, never expecting to run into Gang here by chance.

"I came here because I heard there are some pretty good Ground-type Pokémon around Agate Valley. What are you guys doing here?"

"Shouldn't we go to Kikyo City?"

"Actually—I came here for the agate." Ash was a little embarrassed when he said this.

"I just remembered you saying you're really short of money right now—"

"But it won't be easy for Ash to dig up an agate."

Xiao Gang took out a small piece of agate, placed it in Xiao Zhi's hand, and explained it to him.

"It took me three days of digging to get this piece."

"I've heard that to find precious agate, you need the help of an experienced master like Donja.

Oh, I see. So that's how it is.

"However, I'm just about to capture Dontael."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" He just shook his finger.

"Of course, this is one I've been tracking for a long time, and look at the teeth of this Dunbar."

"This is still a child, so it's most appropriate for me, as a breeder, to raise it!"

Brock immediately took out a Poké Ball and released his Pokémon.

"I can't give it to you just because you're my best friend. Go, Onix!"

Unfortunately, Xiao Gang's wish to capture Donjia was in vain.

When the opposing Donphan realized something was wrong, it immediately used its rolling attack.

This super-high speed directly knocked Xiao Gang's Onix flying three or four meters, and then launched a seed bomb.

It inflicted a lot of damage on Onix, showing that Donphan, despite its young age, is quite powerful.

"Ah, how could this be~" Seeing that something was wrong, he quickly put the Rock Snake back into its Poké Ball.

"Hmph, you really have to watch me! I choose you, Circle Bear!"

Sending out Pikachu with Donphan is not suitable for Ash, so he chose Ursaring, which he has been using quite well recently.

"Oh, Zhi, you've raised this teddy bear very well."

"He was very robust, and his hair was very shiny—"

Xiao Gang couldn't help but lean closer and stroke the teddy bear's muscles, giving it high praise.

"By the way, Ash, have you heard? It seems that during the archaeological digs in the Sinnoh region, they discovered an ancient evolution of Ursaring."

"Can Ursaring evolve further?"

Gym Leaders are really well-informed. Speaking of which, I think my other identity, Aaron, is also a Gym Leader.

Why does Xiaozhi feel like he never gets any insider information?

The main reason is that Ash always shirks his responsibilities, and Raizo usually attends the League meetings.

Of course, there are slight differences between gym trainers.

As one of the eight major dojos in the Kanto region, Nibi Dojo was once led by Gon.

His intelligence network, especially regarding Rock and Ground-type Pokémon, is definitely much stronger than Ash's.

"Hey, Ash, it's time for a battle!" Misty couldn't help but remind the two who had already started chatting.

"The Donka is trying to escape."

"Oh right, Brock, tell me about this in detail later!" Ash quickly returned to the battle.

"The Circular Bear uses its arm to strike!"

The opposing Donphan continued to use Rollout to counterattack, but this time it was facing Ash's Ursaring.

The circle bear braced itself against the rolling of the armored beast with its paws, and only took two steps back before regaining its footing.

A white light flashed from his left hand, and he struck from the side, sending the armored man flying and suffering considerable damage.

"Press your advantage and strike again, Curly Bear! Freeze Punch!"

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, a tall, slender woman wearing a white dress with a red sash around her waist suddenly appeared.

"Why did you attack my Donka?"

She had unusual short green hair and a beautiful face, and was staring angrily at Ash and his friends.

"Oh, sorry, we didn't know this Donkey had an owner, since it wasn't labeled, right, Gang?"

"Brock?" Ash looked around but couldn't see anyone. He didn't expect that Brock had already disappeared from his side.

"I'm so sorry, my friend was really too much, hurting such a beautiful girl's Pokémon."

"Actually, I had advised him a long time ago, but he just wouldn't listen."

The moment that dark-skinned, squinty-eyed man saw the pretty older woman, he instantly teleported to her side, kneeling on one knee with a fawning expression to please her.

"Xiao Zhi is very rude. I will definitely have a good talk with him later."

"My name is Xiao Gang. It is truly a predestined arrangement of fate that I was able to meet you, Miss."

"May I ask your name, and then let's go have dinner together?"

"Ouch!" Ash and Misty almost fainted.

The pretty lady also felt a little uncomfortable with Xiao Gang's behavior, and quickly stepped back, but still answered Xiao Gang's question very politely.

"My surname is Yiqi."

"Miss Ichi, what a beautiful surname! You are so beautiful, especially the jeweled necklace on your chest, it suits you perfectly!"

"This one... this is actually agate—"

"Let's go on a date with life!"

"Sorry, I don't like guys younger than me."

"Uh~!" He just collapsed on the spot.

But seeing that Xiao Gang kept talking so eloquently, Iggy's anger gradually subsided.

"In short, all the dungeons in this valley have owners, so please be more careful next time."

Without saying anything more, he left with the little soldier.

"Miss Yiqi, you are beautiful, and so is your agate."

"A mysterious and beautiful girl is the perfect match for an agate necklace—" Xiao Gang is still savoring the memory.

"That's enough. You've already been rejected. You might as well just stay a paramecium."

In the end, it was only when Ash used his ultimate move, "Professor Neki!", that he finally calmed him down.

Sometimes, Xiao Gang's shamelessness is so extreme that it truly amazes Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia.

I admire his courage, but it's a pity they no longer have the art of escape.

"Speaking of which, what's the deal with Ursaring's evolved form?"

Brock, who was still drawing gray circles on the side, finally came back to life when he heard Ash's question.

"I heard that if you put a peat block on a Bear when it's full, it will evolve into a newly discovered bear."

"Of course, this is just something I heard by chance, and it's not certain whether it's true or not."

Xiao Gang took out a photo of an ancient site from his pocket, which contained stone carvings depicting the evolution of a circled bear.

"There are still almost three days until the next full appearance, so maybe I can keep an eye out for information about peat blocks."

That was a huge help. If it's a region I haven't been to, the evolution items there aren't available in Ash's system shop.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Gang!"

Xiao Gang happened to be there too, so we pulled him over to dig for agate as well.

The three of them arrived at Agate Valley together.

It's quite spectacular here, with many treasure hunters and adventurers carrying their manuscripts as they traverse the valley.

Ash equipped his companions with the gear he had prepared in advance.

"Ash, how are you going to find the agate? Don't we not have Donphan?" Brock asked curiously after putting on his gear.

"Don't worry, I was prepared."

Ash walked to the bushes and pulled out the trio of Kojiro and his companions who had been hiding there.

"Why are you still hiding!"

"Hey, Little Zhi-lao—"

"Meow, long time no see, meow!"

The trio greeted each other with stiff expressions.

"Why are you three hiding here?"

"Well, well—" Musashi suddenly realized.

"Yeah, why should we hide? It's Kojiro who failed his doctoral exam, why should we stick with him?"

"What?! Kojiro failed his doctoral exam?!"

"Yeah, meow."

"This idiot finally passed the theoretical exam, but when he presented his experimental results, he brought out his previous failed experiment."

"The final alliance examiner was left looking ashen-faced; unsurprisingly, he failed, meow!"

Kojiro could only scratch his head sheepishly.

Why is this guy so unreliable?

Unfortunately, among the Rockets trio, only Kojiro, who had received rigorous elite education, was able to pass the academic theory test; otherwise, he should have been replaced long ago.

"Don't be angry, boss. As long as you pass the theoretical assessment, there's no limit to the number of times you can take the experimental assessment."

"Just have the league's examiner come over next year, I guarantee there won't be any problems then!"

Seeing his confident promises, Xiao Zhi always felt it was unreliable, but it didn't matter. The most important thing now was the agate.

"Did you bring all the devices I told you to bring?"
