Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

Regardless, Jiang Chuan is the strongest peer Xia Shen has ever met. Having another equally matched training opponent is a good thing, as long as he is not a bad person.

……

"How about... Hey Xia Shen, you agree?" Teacher Ye clearly didn't expect him to agree so readily, and changed her mind halfway through her persuasion.

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes, but he quickly recovered and walked over to where Xia Shen was. He greeted everyone in the group politely but distantly: "Hello everyone, nice to meet you."

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Teacher Ye nodded in satisfaction and announced the start of class.

…………

What happens when a stranger suddenly appears in a close group of four, and that stranger has a minor conflict with the core members of the group?

The silence among the five people seemed to freeze the air, and even the most lively and talkative Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know how to break the silence for a moment.

Xia Shen took on the responsibility again, asking, "Do you have a second Pokémon?"

The target audience is naturally the newcomers who have just joined.

Without wasting any words, Jiang Chuan took out a Deluxe Ball and released an orange-yellow Pokémon—Chimchar.

As soon as it emerged, it looked around curiously, scratching its head from time to time, with flames burning fiercely on its rear end.

"Want to have a match?" Jiang Chuan's tone was unusually enthusiastic.

Xia Shen was speechless. How come everyone here is a battle maniac?

Oh, me too. Never mind then...

However, having just played a doubles match at noon, Xia Shen is currently in a state of calm and has no desire to fight.

And having just tamed the bear cub, I still need to give her the most basic training.

Yan Yan and Zhou Yuanyuan shared the same idea, so after saying goodbye to Teacher Ye, the group went to the indoor training hall for training.

Jiang Chuan wanted to fight but couldn't find anyone, so he had no choice but to follow them.

……

On his way to the training center, Xia Shen began to think about the bear cub training plan.

As the top Ground-type Pokémon in Arceus, Xia Shen naturally has a deep understanding of the Pokémon Umbreon.

In the game, after Bear Cub evolves into Bear-Cub at level 30, you can use a peat block on a full moon night to evolve Matcha Bear into Red Bean Bear.

The Arceus phone shows that the bear cub's current energy level is 18.

If we take Gible's evolution speed as a reference, it will take at most less than half a year for Bear Cub to successfully evolve into Ursaring.

Then, all you need to do is find a full moon night to evolve into Ursaring, which will open the door to the world of Pokémon academia...

That's a bit too far ahead. What's important now is to design a training program for the bear cubs.

……

Based on its performance since being captured, my bear cub's special characteristics are its proficiency in combat and its relatively agile speed.

While the advantage of the Moon Bear lies in its high output and durability, it does not rely on speed.

But Xia Shen felt that these two characteristics of the bear cub could not be abandoned.

Flexibility and speed are two different concepts.

Speed ​​is easy to explain; it's simply about who runs the fastest.

Speed ​​is a racial limitation; even if there are differences between individuals, the fastest Coal Turtle will definitely not be faster than the slowest Ninja Mask.

But the flexibility is different.

Just like Ash's agile Snorlax in the anime, although it is slow, its tiny, detailed movements play a significant role in battles.

Therefore, Xia Shen decided to arrange dodgeball and other agility training for the bear cubs.

Then there's the fighting technique that the bear cub is particularly good at...

It's not that I dislike fighting techniques; after all, having more types of moves means having more attack options.

Xia Shen's main concern is whether she can still use fighting techniques after evolving into Moonbear and landing on all fours.

But I vaguely remember the Moon Bear standing and attacking in the game.

After thinking it over, Xia Shen still felt that the training in combat skills should not be neglected.

Then comes the most basic and crucial strength training.

This is the foundation for Moonbear's future livelihood, and we'll need to devote the most energy to it.

…………

After roughly outlining the training program for the bear cubs, the group went to the training room.

The four newly joined Pokémon had gotten to know each other after their midday battle, and they immediately gathered together to play and frolic.

The two adorable little bear cubs and Eevee are chasing and playing around the rock ball.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up with Eevee, the little bear got angry and lifted the stone ball up like a heavy weight.

Stoneball hovered in the air, kicking its short legs futilely. Riolu watched this scene thoughtfully, seemingly lost in thought.

Only the little fire monkey stood out awkwardly to the side, wanting to join in and play with them, but seemingly hesitant about something, scratching its head in distress.

"Eevee~" Eevee seemed to have noticed this Pokémon that they had just met but didn't know how to fit in. It ran over enthusiastically and half-pushed him into the circle of play.

The little bear also came over, holding a stone ball, seemingly wanting to play a game of lifting stone balls with the seemingly strong little fire monkey.

On the sidelines, Jiang Chuan watched the little Chimchar that had never laughed so happily before and fell silent.

## Chapter 48 I'm Determined to Be a Kept Man (Please Read On~)

"Alright, stop fooling around, we still have training to do." Xia Shen pulled away the bear cub, who seemed to be wrestling with a little fire monkey.

The teddy bear, picked up and rubbing its belly, looked up at Xia Shen with an adorable, blank expression, and murmured, "Miya~"

"Okay, I'll give you something sweet..." Xia Shen said helplessly as he took out the jar he always carried with him.

Bear Baby's personality and abilities are impeccable; her only almost addictive hobby is her love of sweets.

But that's nothing to worry about. It's sweet, nutritious, and can replenish energy. Apart from being a bit expensive, it has no downsides.

Seeing that half a jar of sweet treats had been consumed, Xia Shen quickly took the jar back, and said with a stern face, "From now on, one jar a day. You can decide how much to eat!"

It's not that I'm worried about the money, but sweets are fattening. Moon Bear is already slow, and if it becomes a big fat bear, it might get toyed with by its opponents.

The little bear let out two pitiful cries, but still nodded.

After putting down the bear cub, Xia Shen released Gible and Zoroar from their Poké Balls.

Today's focus is on the bear cub's first training session, while the other two Pokémon already have well-established training systems and can train themselves.

Gible ran to the side and found a sandbag to do weighted running training, mainly to improve speed, strength and endurance.

Given the Gible's physical capabilities, running five kilometers at a moderate pace with a 20-kilogram sandbag on its back would be perfect for warming up.

The training on Soloa's side was the [meditation running training method] that Xia Shen figured out himself.

It is used to train the ability to execute moves quickly and accurately while moving at high speed.

In actual battles, unless you encounter a Pokémon like Snorlax that is large and slow, it's not advisable.

At other times, Zoroya is unlikely to be able to stand still and deal damage as a turret.

In reality, the [Meditation] move, just like in the game, can greatly increase special attack during battle.

When used in regular training, it is very helpful in developing mental strength.

Seeing that both elves had started training on their own, Xia Shen and Bear Baby also began their first training session.

…………

Because the school has limited training facilities, and the strength training equipment is not a good fit for Xiong Bao's petite size, Xia Shen decided to train her agility first.

Xia Shen led the bear cub to a spot about 20 or 30 meters away from the two automatic ball-shooting machines and pointed in the direction of the launchers.

"Do you see those two machines over there?"

"Miya~" The baby bear nodded.

"Wait a minute, I'll activate those two machines on the other side. They'll launch water balls at your location, and your goal is to dodge them as much as possible."

“If you get hit no more than three times, I’ll reward you with a spoonful of sweetness. If you dodge them all…” Xia Shen pulled out the remaining half-jar of sweetness, “These are all yours!”

The bear cub wiped the drool from the corner of its mouth and let out a firm cry: "Miya!"

For the sake of sweetness, I'd kill even a god!

Xia Shen patted the bear cub's head with satisfaction and walked to the back of the transmitter.

Slow...Medium...High speed...

For your first time, let's keep it simple... Choose... High Speed!

Sparse... ordinary... dense...

Let's leave the cubs a chance to win...choose...dense!

After glancing at the expectant expression on the bear cub's face across from him, Xia Shen ruthlessly chose the hard mode.

It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to make things difficult for the bear cubs. Since it was training, it naturally needed to be challenging so that the sense of accomplishment when completing the training would be greater.

Otherwise, why would so many people have enjoyed playing Souls-like games in their past lives?

Besides the game's inherently high quality, the immense sense of accomplishment gained after overcoming numerous difficulties is also a significant factor.

"Little bear, are you ready?" Xia Shen called out.

“Miya~” the little bear responded confidently.

Xia Shen pressed the switches on both machines, silently praying for Xiong Baobao, hoping to see him so happy again in just ten minutes...

"Whoosh—" A torrential downpour of water bullets poured out of the cannon. Xia Shen estimated that each machine could spray at least five water bullets per second.

The key is that the cannon muzzle twists and turns, so in an instant, water balls are shot at the bear cub from different angles.
