He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4302 The Green Demon Mask!

After that, the bear officially settled down temporarily at the Watchtower Castle.

However, it doesn't usually roam around the castle much. Most of the time, it sits cross-legged on top of the watchtower, calmly gazing at the surrounding scenery.

From a distance, it looks like a giant pink doll has been placed on top of the tower.

"lucky"

Having grown accustomed to the jungles and seas of the Alola region, the scenery of the Galar Wilderness was quite novel to it.

Especially when viewed from above, vast grasslands, lakes, and rocky terrain stretch out as far as the eye can see, creating a variety of scenes.

There are also wild Pokémon.

It's not just from the Galar region; there are Pokémon from all regions, and the variety is vast.

Of course, the bear-wearing man didn't actually do anything.

But it was obvious to the naked eye that Ash's Pokémon had all put away their usual laziness.

I train and run laps every day, actively and diligently exercising myself.

They always feel like they're being watched by the homeroom teacher the whole time, as if if they relax even a little, they'll immediately be greeted with a "warm bear hug".

We dare not relax even for a moment!

Midway through, the bear finally got to experience a special move from the Isle of Armor—Dark Strike.

The open space outside the castle.

The little bear stood opposite it, arms hanging at its sides, ready for battle.

"lucky--!"

With a sharp, high-pitched cry, the little bear clenched its fists, and its entire body suddenly erupted with exaggerated black and red flames.

The malevolent energy coiled along its arm, eventually concentrating on one of its fists.

The next moment, the little bear stomped its paws on the ground and charged forward with all its might, its black and red fists smashing out with all its might!

"lucky!"

Wearing a pair of bear-like clothes, Senior Bear also perked up, realizing the danger of this move, and quickly crossed his arms to block in front of him.

Dark Nether Strike!

Boom!

Black and red flames surged between the two bear-wearing creatures, and the powerful punching force instantly sent the bear-wearing senior flying backward several meters.

But this is not over yet!

Even though the fist only hit the bear's paw, it felt another kind of pain, and its body uncontrollably retreated backward again.

The soles of their feet plowed two deep furrows into the ground.

Hit the vital point!

This is what makes Dark Strike so terrifying.

No matter how the opponent defends, as long as the move hits, it will definitely hit a vital point!

The two sides were separated again.

The bear senior looked down at his bear paw, which was still trembling slightly.

The moves are very similar to those of the black and white brown bear from before—

When it first "trained" Flame Ace and Martial Arts Ursa, it naturally experienced Martial Arts Ursa's strongest move, Water Stream Combo.

Even though it didn't hit any vital points, the punches were still incredibly powerful – it was definitely a remarkable move!

I didn't expect the little bear to know such moves; it's quite impressive!

This can definitely be considered a trump card, a last-ditch effort!

Of course, no matter how amazing the moves are, the difference in the panel data is still there.

At least for now, the little bear wearing clothes and the martial arts bear master are not strong enough to defeat him with this move.

If both of them attack together, it will take them quite a bit of effort.

Finally, the bear-wearing senior swung his arm horizontally, forcefully dispersing the remaining black and red flames around him.

It didn't continue fighting; it was just here to experience this ultimate move.

"lucky."

Then it looked at the little bear, nodded, and expressed its approval of the latter's progress.

"lucky--!!"

The little bear immediately let out a sharp, joyful cry, then turned around and gave the onion soldier next to it a warm bear hug.

click!

Did I hear something snap? But that's not important!

"lucky."

At the same time, the bear-like creature nodded to Ash, expressing its gratitude.

It seems I made the right choice back then. Ash is indeed the most suitable trainer for Bebop!

"Hehe~"

Xiao Zhi, feeling a little embarrassed by the stares, wiped his nose and laughed:

"It's not entirely my doing; I've also put in a lot of effort while wearing the bear costume~"

Although, in terms of effort, Little Bear should be the one who slacks off the most.

Yes, in front of the parents, you should still praise its child more.

So after a few days, everyone had basically gotten used to the large pink doll that had appeared on top of the watchtower.

Of course, sometimes even when wearing a bear costume, it's not on top—

Waving its hands in a flowery gesture, it flew "whoosh whoosh whoosh" towards other parts of Galar, like a helicopter taking off.

It seems they're planning to thoroughly investigate the area where their child currently lives.

Upon witnessing the incredible feat of achieving flight solely through physical strength, Marie's Grimmsnarl, Yu's Rumble Rumble, and other Pokémon fell silent.

Now I finally understand why my seniors were so panicked!

Xiao Zhi, on the other hand, has had a lot more free time lately.

He didn't need to be responsible for the operation of the castle at all.

While waiting for replies from gym leaders across the country, including the Shout Team, they looked for any trace of the upper-class aristocratic duo.

On the other hand, they are waiting for official notification of the next round of the World Championship for advanced ball sports.

"Tsk, it's become 72nd place now."

Ash pulled out his phone, Rotom. Back when he defeated Yuuji, he was ranked 69th.

It hasn't even been a week yet, right?

They've now dropped to 72nd place.

Staring at the numbers on the screen, he wasn't disappointed at all; in fact, his eyes lit up.

This means that the competition at the top level of the advanced ball class is more intense than he thought!

After putting down Rotom's phone, Ash pulled out another mask—

Wearing a bear that came all the way from the Alola region, it was natural that a gift had been prepared for him.

It's this green demon mask!

"Bick~?"

Bictini floated above its head, also looking down curiously.

"This doesn't feel like a proper mask."

Ash fiddled with it from top to bottom, and from the front, it looked exactly like a snarling, evil ghost's face.

After looking at it for a while, you get a chill down your spine.

If you can't recognize any Pokémon at all, it's actually somewhat similar to Zarude.

According to the bear, it was discovered by chance while the demon Hoopa was helping it find a suitable opponent to test its skills.

At that time, Hoopa expanded the Golden Ring and searched the whole world for it.

The result was that the area where He Yue was located seemed to be a small, rural island for vacations?

I stumbled upon this mask in the fields next to a human town and picked it up without thinking.

I don't know its origin, but I've already tried wearing it on a Bewear Pokémon, and it does increase the power of some Grass-type moves when given to a Pokémon.

It's similar to the Miracle Seed.

"Never mind, I'll keep it for now."

Since it was a gift from Bear, Ash took a picture of the mask and sent it to Professor Oak, asking them to check if there was anything special about it. (End of Chapter)
