Chapter 307 Apprentice Bear: Watch closely, I'll only teach you once! (Seeking monthly votes!)
Bear's apprentice VS Heracross!
Heracross is a well-known Pokémon known for its immense strength; among all Bug-type Pokémon, its power is estimated to rank in the top three.

Although the arena tests more than just winning or losing, as long as the scores in the other two areas are high enough, there is still a chance to pass the test even if you lose.

But no matter what, winning and losing have a more direct impact on people.

Moreover, with so many people watching, if someone loses but still passes the test and receives the symbol, it would truly seem like there's something fishy going on.

Therefore, in this match, we must consider both winning and losing, as well as technique.

Seeing that the two players and their respective Pokémon were ready, the apprentice referee immediately shouted:

"The battle begins!"

The referee finished speaking.

"Heracross, the swallow returns!"

"Disciple Xiong, return to the swallow!"

The two voices rang out almost simultaneously, and after a slight pause, they looked at each other and smiled.

In the second aspect of the Arena assessment, "Skills," moves that hit vital points and have outstanding effects will earn more points. Even if a successful hit on the opponent is not a critical hit, it will still earn one point.

It's obvious that Kubaki is twice as weak to Flying-type Pokémon as a Fighting-type Pokémon, and Heracross is four times as weak to Flying-type Pokémon. In addition, with the high accuracy of Aerial Ace, there is no better move than this.

Hercules opened its shell, its wings, thin as cicada wings, fluttered, and its massive horn was slightly swirling with air currents as it pounced towards its bear apprentice.

at the same time.

The bear apprentice tightened the hair on his head like a headband, and pounced out as the air blew around him.

boom! !

Heracross's giant horn collided with Kuma's fist, and both Pokémon were thrown back at the same time.

"Aerial Ace? So this is a battle between Flying-type Pokémon!"

"No, could it be that there are Pokémon that can't use Flying Fly?"

"I have to say, Teacher Jinghe and Miss Huangguaxiang have quite a good understanding. Is this what the understanding between fighters is like?"

For Heracross and his bear apprentice, this clash was more like a test between them, giving them a preliminary understanding of each other.

Next comes the real battle of mind and skill!

"Heracross, close combat!"

Huang Guaxiang waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Hercules flapped his wings almost imperceptibly again, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he lunged forward, his giant horn, enveloped in red light, aimed straight for his bear apprentice's chest!

However, the bear apprentice remained unfazed and deftly took a half-step to the side, dodging most of the force of Heracross's giant horn.

He then crouched down and lunged at Heracross's chest, punching him in the arm joint.

But when Xiong's apprentice touched Heracles' joints, he felt the opponent's force release and withdrawal immediately, which surprised him.

This Heracross is quite skilled in combat.

Hercules' eyes flashed red, and he swung his head violently, smashing it into his bear apprentice's head. At the same time, his left arm swung upwards like a hammer, striking the bear apprentice's shoulder blade.

The bear apprentice narrowed his eyes, but did not retreat at all. He shifted his feet, turned to the side, crossed his arms, and used his shoulder as the head to strike Heracross's right arm joint.

Hercules was far more astonished than his bear apprentice.

The fighting skills, the reaction speed, the counterattack techniques.
Without a doubt, this little bear is a fighting expert!

Heracross immediately rolled to the left, dodging the bear apprentice's shoulder strike, and simultaneously swept out with his foot.

The apprentice seemed to have anticipated this move, and immediately performed a backflip to avoid the kick.

The aroma of cucumbers wafted from the side, making their eyes light up.

This technique.
Heracross's close-quarters combat combo was completely neutralized by the bear apprentice with ease?
Despite the constant sounds of collisions.

But they could all see that Heracross never actually hit the bear's apprentice.

Is this Jinghe's Pokémon?
No wonder he's a fighting master!
Not only did the cucumbers smell, but the apprentices in the martial arts school were also extremely shocked.

The back-and-forth exchanges between Heracross and his bear apprentice were truly exhilarating for these fighters.

Experts see the details, while laymen just watch the spectacle.

"This is... blocking Heracross's close-quarters combat with his bare hands?!"

"Although my brain can't keep up a bit, my eyesight is amazing!"

"An ultimate display of skill!"

If the Great Blacksmith represents the ultimate in violent aesthetics, and Charcoal Servant represents the ultimate in the art of burning, then Bear Apprentice represents the pinnacle of ultimate skill.

He dismantled Heracross's close-combat abilities with his bare hands.

This one move alone earned the admiration of Cucumber Fragrance and Hercules.

“Ku~ヽ(▼▼)”

The apprentice, however, remained calm.

Even though Jinghe could sense through the waveguide that the little guy was extremely panicked.

If I had made even the slightest misjudgment or reacted too slowly, I would have been in a full-blown close-quarters fight.

Jinghe's expression became somewhat strange.

“Ahem,” said Xiong’s apprentice.

“Ku! (▼皿▼)σ”

"Watch closely, I'll only teach you once!"

next second.

The bear apprentice leaped out, his body enveloped in red light, and pounced on Heracross.

Close combat!
Compared to Heracross's close combat, the bear's move seems not much different, but it appears lighter and more agile.

boom!
Heracross also wanted to defend himself like the bear apprentice, but the bear apprentice saw through his plan from the very beginning.

He chuckled softly, then slid in and appeared directly behind Heracross.

Followed by.

Sweep kick, punch, crouch, elbow strike, side strike, knee strike, forward roll, and twisting pin.
A series of attacks overwhelmed Heracross.

At first, Heracross was able to hold his own against the bear apprentice with some difficulty, thanks to his own fighting skills.

But it soon discovered that the bear apprentice's every move was not only more cunning in its attack angles, but more importantly, each strike was more powerful than the last!
In Heracross's view, the bear apprentice's attack was like a surging tide.

Unending, wave after wave!
boom--

Heracross flew into the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

With Xiong's apprentice's combo, "Heart's Edge" was maxed out!
"This is... the ultimate technique of the combo style?!"

Huang Guaxiang's eyes widened.

Teacher Jinghe, did you really receive Master Ma's true teachings?
If we lose like this, I'm afraid I won't gain Teacher Jinghe's approval.
"Heracross, show our resilience, stand up!" "Croak!!"

Hercules shook his head heavily and staggered to his feet.

Huang Guaxiang's face lit up with joy, and then he excitedly shouted:

"Super Corner Attack!!"

"Croak!!"

Heracross roared and charged at his bear apprentice, using his giant horn as a weapon.

"Ku!!"

Seeing this, Xiong's apprentice also became excited, and he spread his legs into a horse stance and suddenly spread his arms.

Bang! !

A current of energy emanated from his body.

Jinghe's eyes were strange.

Angry?

However, Jinghe also understood what Xiong's apprentice meant.

We must confront them head-on!
Then
"Disciple Bear, Explosive Fist!"

In head-on collisions like this, there's no need to worry about low accuracy.

The bear apprentice stretched out his arms to both sides, which gathered into a dazzling white light under the sunlight.

A surge of power flowed into the fist, and after a brief period of charging, the punch was suddenly unleashed.

"Ku!!"

The bear apprentice's explosive punches were like surging waves.

boom! !

The head-on collision of the fist and the giant horn sent a terrifying shockwave blasting over several apprentices who were standing nearby.

Along with him was Heracross!

Hit the mark!

Heracross collapsed heavily to the ground, unable to fight!
"One-hit-strike technique?!" Huang Guaxiang murmured haltingly.

Not only did Xiong's apprentice master the secrets of the combo style, but he also mastered the secrets of the one-hit style?

this.
Huang Guaxiang glanced at his disciple Xiong, who had put down his fists and stood at attention with a serious expression.

Could it be that the combo-style ultimate technique and the one-hit-kill ultimate technique can be combined?
That would be truly terrifying.

Is every hit in close combat a critical strike?
Is a basic attack a critical hit?
hiss--

"Heracross is incapacitated. In terms of mind, skill, and physique, the bear disciple is the winner!" The referee was stunned for a while before announcing the result.

"so amazing!"

Huang Guaxiang pulled the unconscious Heracross back to his feet and trotted over to Jing He and his apprentice Xiong.

"It's alright," Jing He said modestly.

"Teacher Jinghe, your disciple Xiong, could he possibly combine the secrets of the One-Hit Style and the Combo Style?" Huang Guaxiang couldn't help but ask curiously.

Jing He glanced at his stern-faced apprentice and smiled:

"At the moment, it probably won't work."

When he first left the Isle of Armor, Kuma couldn't do it, but after his training over this period, Kuma can do it in a short time while he's asleep.

Because when the bear apprentice is asleep, he can exhibit extreme calmness and is not affected by external things.

However, Jinghe said "at present," which is a bit lacking considering that Xiong's apprentice was awake.

"The little guy is much stronger than he was during the Quartz Conference," Jinghe thought to herself.

"Is it not okay?" Huang Guaxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it didn't work.

Otherwise, Heracross would probably have been defeated in one move.

"Even the teacher's mischievous apprentice is asleep."

Daigo and the others also came over, and Aya spoke up.

As everyone knows, Jinghe's apprentice is at his strongest when he's asleep.

It was only then that I remembered the cucumber's aroma.

Right, they couldn't even force Master Jinghe's disciple to unleash his strongest form.
"Then..." Huang Guaxiang whispered, "did I fail the test?"

Looking at her pitiful appearance and the "you should know your place" comments in the live stream.

Jinghe coughed again.

"Ahem, it's approved!"

"Great!"

The cucumber jumped up happily.

and many more.

Wasn't I the one here to participate in the arena assessment?

Why are you so excited?
“My symbol,” Jing He said.

Upon hearing this, Huang Guaxiang slapped his forehead and hurriedly took out the "symbol of perseverance".

In just two days, this was the fourth symbol Jinghe had received.

to be frank.

After conquering the four combat facilities in the expansion zone, Jing He gained a certain understanding of the strength of the expansion zone's leader.

Of all the leaders he has encountered so far, Lyra is probably the strongest, with strength surpassing that of ordinary gym leaders.

Next is Heather.

Xiaoji and Huangguaxiang are similar in strength, probably around the level of an average restaurant owner.

But right.

Due to the special assessment method in the Battle Frontier, it is much more difficult for ordinary trainers to fight against them than to fight against gym leaders.

It's more suitable for trainers who have collected all eight badges, participated in tournaments, and have enough battle experience to take on the challenge.

This way, you not only have a higher chance of passing, but you can also learn more.

"Without realizing it, we've already got the strength to beat up ordinary gym leaders?" Jing He muttered to himself with a hint of smug satisfaction.

If the gym leader has already been beaten up, how far are we from beating up the Elite Four?
wrong
In the Battle Frontier Zone, there seems to be a leader comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings?
