"Moon Bear, pounce!"
On the battle field of the Pokémon Center, a terrifying giant bear is running wildly.
A faint glow of fire could be seen flickering from its fur.
The terrifying noise caused a crater to appear beneath its feet with every step it took.
The martial arts bear master opposite the Moon Bear was on high alert, not even performing his usual favorite white crane spreading its wings pose.
Instead, he assumed the most stable horse stance, seized the opportunity when the Moon Bear got up and pounced, and threw a punch, the Dark Nether Strike hitting a vital point.
But it couldn't stop the Moon Bear's next attack.
Although both have the same base stat total of 550, Umbreon is stronger than Urshifu in terms of attack and defense, which gives it a certain kind of strength.
Unable to defeat Moonbear before its attack could be delivered by its speed advantage, Martial Arts Bear Master was already at a slight disadvantage.
Not to mention that now with the help of the Flame Orb, the Moon Bear's attack power increases by fifty percent when it is under the burning status.
He slammed the martial arts master down onto the field in an instant, sending dust flying everywhere.
Even Xiong Er, the bear's apprentice who was watching from the sidelines, stopped licking the honey off his palm and stared in astonishment.
"What incredible power!" Xiao Gang exclaimed as he recorded the data of the Moon Bear.
As a Pokémon breeder, someone who wants to discover the most perfect state of all Pokémon, Brock naturally wanted to make a good record of the special case of Ursaring.
"According to research in the Hoenn region, Ursaring has also been observed to be in a similar state where its strength increases even when it is in an abnormal condition."
"Since Ursaring also exists, it means that its characteristics may not have changed after evolution—the study of Pokémon is truly profound."
It was worth all the effort he put into finding peat blocks. Ash's Ursaring was arguably the first Ursaring to appear in Kanto and Johto, and there's so much to research about it.
Although it has been since Professor Birch accidentally discovered the ability 20 years ago while researching Pokémon habitats.
The League has conducted systematic research, and Pokémon abilities are already widely known among trainers, but new discoveries are still made every year. Brock feels that there is no end to learning.
Fortunately, he was a breeder, not a researcher.
Moreover, the key to Moon Bear's increased strength this time, that fiery red pearl, was also the focus of Xiao Gang's observation.
The number of items that have been researched and completed in the current alliance is actually quite small, especially those that can be used in battles.
Currently, the only mainstream item in the battle is actually berries.
As for combat items that possess magical properties, such as elaborate scarves, imposing sashes, and leftover food, they have either not yet been discovered or their effects are still unclear.
At this point, if Xiao Gang could record the combined effect of the Flame Orb and the Moon Bear, it would be an extremely valuable research material.
If these materials were given to Professor Oak, the titan of Pokémon research, he could write at least four more papers.
Xia, who was also watching from the sidelines, was more curious about other things.
"Ash, do you think if my Water-type Pokémon sprays water on Ursaring, it will put out the sparks on its fur?"
"This probably won't work."
The effect of the Flame Orb cannot be extinguished by one or two water-type attacks, but if it keeps spraying, who knows?
This is a direction worth exploring, and Xiao Gang quickly wrote it down.
"Okay, pause!" Ash went over and helped Urshifu up, restoring both Pokémon to their normal state.
Ash was very satisfied with the increase in Ursaring's strength thanks to the Flame Orb.
Although the burning status will affect the Moon Bear's endurance, the Moon Bear is already quite tanky and has a very tough body.
This weakening is well worth the resulting surge in attack power.
Ash told them to rest aside and then called Suicune and Entei over.
I need to give them some special training today.
Since Komatsu specifically came to request a battle with them, he must be well-prepared, and Ash must take it seriously.
After all, many gym leaders are not to be underestimated; their strength shown in gym battles is not their whole story.
Gym Leaders will plan the strength of the Pokémon they send out to fight based on the number of badges the challenger has and the strength of the Pokémon they bring.
These dojo masters are all formidable fighters when they go all out; they are far more than they appear on the surface.
Even Misty's Cerulean Gym, as far as Ash knows, has quite a few powerful Pokémon left behind by her parents.
For example, a Gyarados that was relegated to the sidelines because it caused Misty trauma during her childhood.
Misty's three older sisters don't have much talent as trainers, so they don't know how to use it. Misty also has a phobia of this Gyarados, so she has never seen it appear in gym battles.
Normally, I stay at the dojo and act as a background character when Sakura and the others perform.
Ash had seen it before when he lived in Cerulean. It was a very strong Gyarados, high-level and tough, and looked like a formidable opponent.
It's no weaker than Ash's Golden Gyarados.
These Pokémon are the foundation that allowed Sakura to continue to control Cerulean City after her parents' unexpected passing, since they all look quite frightening.
Therefore, the strength of gym leaders, especially those with long-standing traditions, should not be underestimated.
If we don't prepare in advance, we might end up making a mess of things, especially since we've sent out these two.
After glancing at the lazy Old Yan Emperor and the lively Eight Treasure Porridge in front of him, Xiao Zhi fell into deep thought.
Although Ash arranged for Pikachu to be the savior in case of an accident.
But as a legendary Pokémon trainer, if Ash's legendary Pokémon were to be defeated, his reputation would be ruined.
The most unreliable one is Old Yan Emperor. Anyone can see that he wants to slack off, and he's a man who can be defeated in three moves.
"Ultimately, it's just that as you get older, your winning momentum diminishes!"
As Ash's Pokémon, how can you not want to win in battle if you're so listless and lack fighting spirit?
The desire to win is the most important treasure of Pokémon, and Ash and Pikachu have always had a strong drive to win.
In short, I just want to win!
However, judging from Eight Treasure Porridge's current excitement, it's very determined to win, which Xiao Zhi acknowledges.
The Eight Treasure Porridge doesn't need any adjustments. The main issue is Yan Di, whose "Three Moves to Be a True Man" physique is truly something to behold.
If Ash's Pokémon manage to dodge all three of Entei's Sacred Flame attacks tomorrow, he'll be in real trouble.
"Emperor Yan, is there any way to increase your combat time? You can't always be a 'three-move true man' all the time."
Under Ash's guidance, even the old folks have to keep up with their efforts.
"Actually, I'm at four moves now. I just received some nourishment from the power left behind by Ho-Oh yesterday, so I've become a little stronger."
Emperor Yan believes this should be corrected, as four seconds is a full third longer than three seconds!
"What's the difference? Four moves and you're done for!"
"Ah~" Emperor Yan is injured.
He quickly lay down to the side and drew circles, muttering something like "small is also cute," "four seconds is already amazing," and "kids just don't understand the pain of old men," which were all rather puzzling.
At that moment, Ash suddenly remembered the Rainbow Wing inside his body.
The feather of Ho-Oh, the eldest of the three legendary beasts, contains Ho-Oh's power, which might strengthen Entei.
"Emperor Yan, the feathers that Phoenix King placed inside me should be able to be removed, right?"
"Sure, what do you want to do?"
