Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 461 The Night of Bear's Disciple's Revenge

Xiong's apprentice number one is a rebellious disciple who defies his master.

Learning a lot of things is just to put yourself down.

Li Xuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The type of disciple, Xiong, is someone who's always thinking about dragging himself down with him.

"Okay." (Boss, how about you change the agreement so I can keep it? I really can't do this one. A bear can't go against its own nature, otherwise its strength will stagnate.)
Xiong's apprentice righteously asked Li Xuan to change the agreement for him.

"Hey, you rascal, still dreaming of being a rebellious disciple?"

Li Xuan couldn't hold back and flicked Xiong's forehead again.

"Ouch..." (Ouch, ouch, ouch... Don't flick my head!)
The bear apprentice rubbed his head, on the verge of tears.

"You're a good guy in every way, except you're a little too honest. If you were outside, you'd have gotten beaten up a few times already."

Such "rebellious" Pokémon are almost universally hated.

If we're talking about someone like Xiong's apprentice, that's alright.

If he evolves into a Martial Arts Bear Master and is still this rebellious, and I still can't beat him...

Well, the story will probably turn into an accident.

"Sigh." (Well, there's nothing I can do about this. It's your fault for giving me such a bad first impression. If it had been a better first impression, I wouldn't have thought of becoming a rebellious disciple.)
The apprentice, with his hands on his hips, felt that his explanation was quite reasonable.

"Reasonable my foot! How did you manage to blame everything on me?!"

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow and subconsciously raised his finger, wanting to give his apprentice Xiong another flick on the forehead.

result.

"Bah!" (I knew you were going to give me a flick on the forehead! Look how far I've run, let's see how you catch me!)
The bear apprentice turned his back, patted his own bottom, and turned his face to make a face at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan: “…”

The number one traitor lives up to his name!
"Bah!" (Hehehe, huh? You can't resist making a move already? This distance... Hey hey hey, how come you're so fast?!)

The apprentice was still making faces when he suddenly noticed Li Xuan's slight movement.

It hurriedly turned to escape, but a large hand gently grabbed it by the back of its neck, freezing it in place.

Li Xuan lifted his apprentice by the scruff of its neck and brought it in front of him, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

If it were someone else.

You'll find Li Xuan's smile very sunny.

But the smile grew larger and larger in the bear's eyes, and it inexplicably reminded it of a certain Gastly grinning maliciously on the outskirts of Golden City at night.

"Hey, Bear Apprentice, what kind of punishment do you want?"

Li Xuan pressed his face close to it.

"Bye!" (I surrender! I promise I won't be a disobedient disciple anymore, please let me go!)
The apprentice pleaded desperately.

"Really? Then swear on your martial arts heart that you will never be a disobedient disciple again, otherwise you will never be able to evolve into a martial arts bear master."

"Huh?!" (Huh?! Why?! Don't you want to believe what this weak and frail bear apprentice of yours has to say?)

The bear apprentice displayed a pitiful demeanor.

"Yeah, I really don't believe it."

If it were Xiong's second apprentice, Li Xuan might have believed it.

But this disciple of the bear is a traitor, so he definitely can't be trusted.

I might believe what the rest says, but I would never believe such a disrespectful and rebellious disciple unless he swore an oath.

"Ugh..." (Eh, I never thought that even after being captured, I still wouldn't be trusted by my trainer. My life is just too hard.)
The bear apprentice sat on the ground, looking quite mature.

Despite all that has been said, it still refuses to swear an oath in martial arts.

"If you put that kind of willpower into training, you would have evolved into a martial arts bear master long ago."

Li Xuan had no choice but to admit it.

Xiong's apprentice certainly possesses unwavering perseverance in this regard.

"Yeah." (Hehe, thanks for the compliment~)

The apprentice scratched his head sheepishly, taking Li Xuan's words as a compliment.

"...Fine, fine, since you're like this, let's each take a step back."

Li Xuan had no choice but to take a step back.

"Okay, tell me, how do you want me to back down?"
"Here's what we'll do: you can't be a disobedient disciple until you evolve into a Martial Arts Bear Master."

"Okay, deal!"
Xiong's apprentice thought there was no problem.

It can't beat Li Xuan now, so it doesn't matter whether it becomes a rebellious disciple or not.

Once I evolve and my strength increases, I might be able to defeat Li Xuan by becoming a rebellious disciple again!
Ah!
This wave, this wave is a period of settling down!

After both parties reached an agreement.

Li Xuan then began to teach Xiong the essence of the One-Strike Style.

He demonstrated power generation techniques using his palm as a blade, explaining how to concentrate all the body's strength into a single point for explosive release.

Finish these.

Li Xuan gently placed his palm on Xiong's back, guiding the power of the wave guide along his meridians.

“Carefully feel the flow of power,” he said in a deep voice. “When you can freely gather the wave at the tip of your fist, that is when you will understand the true meaning of the One-Strike Style.”

"Beep!" (This power is stronger than ever before!)

Under the guidance of the waveguide, Xiong's apprentice suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had glimpsed a new world of martial arts.

At this moment, Li Xuan slowly withdrew his hand, leaving it to stand alone and savor the moment.

"Remember what you just learned,"

He stood with his hands behind his back, saying, "Once I finish teaching you this breathing technique, you can start practicing on your own."

Li Xuan gestured to his apprentice Xiong to adjust his breathing rhythm.

Li Xuan knows many breathing techniques.

I learned all of these skills while practicing waveguide power.

It can be described as self-taught.

Li Xuan can master these concepts, so naturally he can teach them to Pokémon.

Talk about it.

The Kubrick Apprentices were among the second batch of Pokémon to learn Breathing Techniques.

The first batch is Lucario.

……

……

The new breathing technique carried a scorching heat, causing the meridians to swell slightly with each inhale, and the power of wave guidance surged through the body like a torrent.

In stark contrast to the gentle circulation method taught to Number Two, this method is filled with an undeniable domineering force.

"This breathing technique is effective quickly, but it will damage your meridians," Li Xuan warned solemnly. "Only those with strong willpower can withstand its backlash. You should think carefully."

After Xiong's apprentice finished a week's worth of practice.

After he finished his stance, Li Xuan looked at Xiong's apprentice and asked, "Can you still withstand it? If not, I have a gentler breathing technique that's suitable for those who prefer a one-hit-kill style."

"Sure!" (Absolutely no problem!)

The disciple clearly felt the surging power within his body and the faint pain in his meridians, but he nodded without hesitation and resumed his cultivation stance.

Li Xuan watched as his apprentice Xiong completed the three cycles of energy circulation. After offering some guidance at crucial points, he raised his hand to stop him.

"That's all for today. This breathing method should be used no more than four times a day; excessive use will damage your foundation."

"Ah!" (I get it! This breathing technique really works! I feel like my long-standing bottleneck is loosening! If it's not long, I feel like I'll be able to evolve into a Martial Arts Bear Master!)

The apprentice slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling refreshed all over. His previously sluggish meridians were now unobstructed, and even his eyes became exceptionally clear.

"It's not that simple. Evolving into a Martial Arts Ursa Master is still quite difficult. Aura is just to make it easier for you to understand, not a necessary condition for evolution." Martial Arts Ursa Master and Aura have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Li Xuan's teaching method is unconventional and unique to waveguide envoys.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to teach much.

Only a martial arts master like Ma Shide could teach that.

"Okay!" (It's getting late, I need to get down to business!)
After completing four cycles of practice, the apprentice stood up, as if he had something important to do, and walked away into the distance.

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly and followed behind Xiong's apprentice without making a sound.

He wanted to see where his apprentice was rushing off to in such a hurry.

"Bah!" (Listen up, Pokémon inside! Your Uncle Ursaring has brought you destruction! Surrender now, and I'll go easy on you later!)

The bear apprentice ran to a small wooden box and called out repeatedly to the opening of the box.

Its cries were filled with a fighting spirit, clearly indicating that it was challenging the Pokémon inside.

Li Xuan:?
So, once you improve your strength, you want to go out and cause trouble?

Li Xuan covered his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The apprentice is too good at finding fault.

"Hehehe?" (Oh ho ho, let's see who's here. Isn't this our defeated nemesis, Xiong Tudi? Haven't seen you for a few days, why are you trying to cause trouble again? Could it be that we didn't beat you enough before? Didn't we teach you a lesson?)

While talking.

A Pokémon made of gas, with a pointed head and a pair of ghostly claws in front of it, floated leisurely by.

Pokémon: Haunter

[Attributes: ghost, poison]

【Level: 30】

【Characteristic: Levitation】

[Moves: Omitted]

The visitor is Gastly.

This level is even cuter.

At level 30, to be honest, Li Xuan could easily defeat the Gastly in front of him with just one finger.

"Hehehe." (Oh ho ho ho~ I was wondering why you'd come knocking again after only a few days. Turns out you'd found a human trainer to help you?)
Gastly also noticed Li Xuan.

It gave Li Xuan a slight nod, then looked back at its bear apprentice.

"Hehehe." (Our business is not for outsiders to interfere with. Or do you think you can't beat me and need an outside trainer to defeat me?)
Gastly pierced the heart of the bear apprentice.

Gastly was right.

The bear apprentice called Li Xuan over. Plan A was for Li Xuan to lead him in defeating Gastly and avenging it.

This is the best possible strategy.

But unexpectedly, Gastly directly made sarcastic remarks about him.

This directly turned the best-case scenario into the worst-case scenario.

"Yeah!" (I... I didn't! But I think we need a witness between us!)

Xiong's apprentice righteously presented Li Xuan.

"Bah!" (This is the strongest Gym Leader in Saffron City right now. I think having him as the referee would be fair to everyone.)
"Hehehe." (Really? Then I was just being cynical. I thought you'd be shameless enough to call a trainer over to cheer you on. In that case, let's clear up the misunderstanding.)
Gastly covered its mouth and chuckled.

The bear's apprentice had a "well" mark on his forehead, but when he met Gastly's eyes, he couldn't help but smile.

"Heh heh, you're overthinking it."
The bear apprentice whistled.

Once they had run out of things to talk about, Li Xuan pulled Xiong's apprentice over.

"So, tell me what happened between you two? Why is it so tense? Did you secretly go to their door and do something to them?"

"What?!" (What are you saying? What kind of trainer doesn't trust their own Pokémon?! Do you think I'm the kind of Pokémon that's always causing trouble and never doing anything productive?)
The apprentice was furious.

Li Xuan: …

"Yeah." (Ahem, actually, this story starts the day after you left.)
The bear apprentice's thoughts returned to that day.

With Li Xuan away, Xiong's apprentice became king.

As the eldest of the bear apprentices, the number one bear apprentice strutted around Golden City with an even more proud and arrogant air.

On the first day, led by Gopaleon, they explored the entire city of Saffron.

At the same time, it found a "feng shui treasure land".

This is the alleyway.

Of course, this alley is not considered a place of good feng shui.

This alley is the only passage leading to this "feng shui treasure land" and connecting it to the outside world.

Through this alley, you can reach a place where wild tree fruits are cultivated.

That's right, these are neither fruits cultivated by humans nor fruits cultivated by Pokémon.

Instead, they are pure, natural wild tree fruits.

When the bear apprentice saw that there were no Pokémon protecting him, he thought he had gotten a bargain.

Sure enough, he devoured three in no time.

After patting her belly, she leaned against a tree and went to sleep.

That night.

The bear apprentice was woken up by being patted.

It turned out that this was actually territory that Gastly had discovered first.

Ever since.

They started fighting.

The bear apprentice was utterly defeated and slunk back to the dojo.

Continue the next day.

He got beaten up again.

The third day proceeded as usual.

Xiong's apprentice simply decided to settle down.

Until today, Li Xuan returned to provide guidance.

This made Xiong's apprentice a little arrogant.

"So, you learned all this for two reasons: first, to become a better disciple of a rebellious master after evolving, and second, to seek revenge on Gastly?"

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Why does this guy make enemies so easily?
It seems like they've only been subdued for less than two weeks, and they've already made enemies.

No wonder Ma Shide entrusted his apprentice number one to him.

It seems they have no place on the Isle of Armor and can only cultivate them themselves.

"Bah!" (It's different! Visiting Gastly was just a side thing. I came today to show you what I've been up to these past few days!)
The apprentice patted his chest.

This was to show Li Xuan that he was not a reckless man.

It's called "rough yet meticulous"!
"Bah!" (Ghost, take this!)

A burst of blue light appeared on Xiong's apprentice.

A sky-blue aura gathered around it, making its steps seem lighter.

The flying swallow returns!

"Hehehe." (You're using the same old tricks again. I'm so tired of your little schemes.)
Feeling bored, Gastly conjured a Shadow Ball with its Ghost Claw and threw it!

"Bah!" (I'm not the same person I used to be! Take this!)
