Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

"Don't believe me? Look at this..."

The martial arts bear master suddenly snorted, and the breath he exhaled made Clara's bangs all messy.

Li Chen helplessly pressed down on his Pokémon's shoulder, only to see the girl who claimed to be a candidate for Gym Leader kneeling on the dusty ground of the platform in a dogeza posture: "Please be sure to guide my training!"

The sound of his forehead hitting the ground was so crisp it made your teeth ache.

Li Chen's fingertips were still on the fur of the martial arts bear master, and his hand, suspended in mid-air, hesitated whether to help the girl who had suddenly bowed deeply.

Eileen froze, her elf ears remaining erect and alert, but twitching slightly from shock.

Clara's forehead remained pressed against the ground, and one of her clogs had somehow flown off, revealing a purple stocking with a hole in the toe.

The mist on the platform was suddenly dispersed by the morning breeze, revealing the crookedly written handwritten sign behind her...

Chapter 580 Masde

【Welcome to challenge Master Ma's Dojo (temporary venue)】

The ink on the two characters "temporary" was still wet, and black ink was dripping down.

The Martial Arts Bear Master scratched his head in confusion, a gesture that caused a trace of his Heavenly King-level aura to leak out.

Clara immediately started shaking even more violently.

"Excuse me, are you the eldest disciple?"

After a moment of silence, Clara finally asked.

Li Chen shook his head: "No, my martial arts master Xiong is from out of town."

"Impossible! Almost all of the world's bear disciples are with us!"

Clara suddenly raised her head, the hairpin in her hair tilting slightly: "You, you must be joking!"

She gestured frantically, "All the existing bear disciples on the Isle of Armor are registered!"

Li Chen remained silent, feeling helpless.

Clara's pupils dilated instantly, and the green stocking on her right leg ripped with her own fingernail.

"This...this is impossible..."

She knelt on the ground, utterly dejected: "Master clearly said...only we have such a wretched disciple..."

Eileen's elf ears suddenly perked up alertly, and she pulled Li Chen behind her back: "Hey, you've got your saliva on my husband's pants!"

Clara practically tumbled backward, her back slamming against a platform pillar with a thud.

She frantically straightened the messy hem of her kendo uniform, her toes peeking out from the holes in her purple stockings curling up nervously.

“No, no, no action!”

Her voice trembled, her gaze fixed on the still-shimmering keystone on Eileen's ring, "I'll take you two to see Master now..."

Li Chen sighed and reached out to help the girl, whose legs were trembling with weakness, to her feet: "Lead the way."

......

......

On the misty mountain path, Clara walked like a frightened cat, turning back every few steps to make sure the two of them were keeping up.

The hole in her green stocking on her right leg kept getting bigger, revealing a plaster with the word "Victory" stuck to her knee.

The eaves of the martial arts school gradually emerged from the mist, and the wind chimes tinkled in the morning breeze.

Suddenly, several bear disciples rolled out of the dojo, but froze the moment they sensed the aura of the martial arts bear master.

Some of them were still in the upside-down meditation posture, their short legs trembling comically in the air.

"Master! Something terrible has happened!"

Clara dashed across the courtyard strewn with training stakes, only to trip over her own flying clogs.

"A wild senior brother has come knocking on our door!"

The paper door of the temple opened with a "whoosh," and Master Ma's figure, holding a teacup, was frozen in the morning light.

He still had half a piece of buckwheat noodle hanging from the corner of his mouth, his gaze fixed on the martial arts bear master behind Li Chen who was scratching an itch.

The buckwheat noodles in Master Ma's mouth fell "plop" into the teacup, splashing tea stains that spread a dark mark on his martial arts uniform: "Ouch!"

The teacup in his hand almost flew out of his hand. "This...this...this isn't the senior brother of the combo style, is it?"

The courtyard was instantly thrown into chaos.

The bear apprentices, who were doing handstands, tumbled and fell into a mess. One little guy even scrambled into his training clothes on the clothes rack in a panic.

Master Ma's wife, Honey Leaf, rushed over upon hearing the commotion, a half-eaten vegetable leaf still stuck to her spatula: "Honey, what are you yelling about... Oh dear!"

Li Chen's martial arts master, Bear, was a little embarrassed by the scene and accidentally broke a stone lantern in the corner of the courtyard while scratching his head.

Clara crouched in the hallway, clutching her head, muttering, "I'm doomed, I'm going to have to pay compensation..."

Before she knew it, she had started to imitate her master's verbal tic.

But soon, Master Ma spun the teacup in a beautiful arc on his fingertips and then landed steadily back on the tray.

He casually wiped the noodle soup off his beard, his narrowed eyes gleaming: "This is incredible!"

The bear apprentices, who were still running around in the courtyard, were suddenly frozen in place by an invisible force, remaining in various comical poses as if a pause button had been pressed.

Lady Honey Leaf tapped the pillar with her spatula, producing a clear, metallic tremor.

"She's only eighteen and she's already raised a bear cub to this level..."

Master Ma stepped over the mess on the ground with his cloth shoes and stood three steps away from Master Xiong, the martial arts master.

He suddenly reached out and brushed his hand across the martial arts master's neck, the movement so fast it left no afterimage. "The food's been too good, you should probably lose some weight~"

Martial Arts Master Xiong looked down at his round belly and let out a pitiful "woof" at Li Chen.

Eileen's elven ears twitched as she tried to suppress her laughter, and the keystone on her ring shimmered with tiny starlight as it vibrated.

"Would you mind telling me where you found this martial arts bear master?"

Mastedt turned to ask.

"Oh, well, I actually met him in the mountains."

Li Chen made up an excuse on the spot.

But it's also quite reasonable.

After all, Kuma's apprentice is a Pokémon that lives deep in the mountains.

Master Ma raised his eyebrows high, but said nothing.

Lady Honey Leaf suddenly tapped her husband on the back of the head with a spatula: "Old man, look outside. This is the ruthless man who has subdued Reshiram and Zekrom."

Before she could finish speaking, Clara was already lying face down on the hallway floor, her two mismatched socks trembling.

Master Ma looked out the window and saw that the tail flame of Lehiram was burning a hole in the morning mist, while the thunderclouds of Zekrom rolled around it.

Far from being frightened, he chuckled and sipped his tea: "Young people really know how to have fun!"

The bottom of the teacup clattered onto the tray, startling the young sparrows that were eavesdropping under the eaves.

Suddenly, Mrs. Honey Leaf shoved the spatula into her husband's hand, pulled out her phone, and started recording: "Old man, strike a pose! This composition will definitely go viral on Pokémon blog!"

Master Ma's scissor-like hand gestures flashed in the morning light: "Cheese!"

Rahiram gracefully lowered its neck, its tail flame blooming into a blue lotus perfectly in front of the camera; Zekrom, on the other hand, released a ring-shaped thunderstorm, exploding into magnificent black arcs of electricity in the background.

The two legendary Pokémon tacitly flanked Urshifu in the middle, looking just like they were taking a family photo.

Mrs. Honey's phone camera lens was suddenly cracked by the bright light, but she calmly pulled a second professional camera from her apron pocket: "Keep it up! Old man, you've got tea stains on your beard!"

The bear apprentices around her had somehow stolen Clara's headband and were now using a pink bow to tie their hair into a high ponytail, bouncing around trying to squeeze into the camera's view.

The keystone on Eileen's ring suddenly resonated with the power of the twin dragons, enveloping the entire dojo courtyard in iridescent aurora.

Later, this photo indeed made it onto the cover of Pokémon World magazine, with the title "On the Correct Posing Pose for Legendary Trainers".

Chapter 581 If you want it, defeat the Pill Emperor!

As the camera shutter clicked, the noise in the courtyard receded like a receding tide.

The tail flame of Lehiram streaked across the sky in a final blue arc, and the thunderclouds of Zekrom dissipated in the morning light.

Lady Honey Leaf gently pulled the paper door of the reception room closed, and the last wisp of tea fragrance wafted between the two of them.

Master Ma sat cross-legged on the prayer mat, his gaze suddenly sharpening: "Young man..."

He pushed a cup of freshly brewed Galar tea towards us. "Now you can tell the truth."

Li Chen's fingertips traced the rim of the teacup, and the Martial Arts Urshifu's Poké Ball cast a swaying shadow on the table.

Outside the window, a young titmouse was tilting its head and staring into the room, but was startled by a steel raven that suddenly flew by and flew away in a flurry.

In the silence, only the faint crackling of the charcoal fire at the bottom of the tea kettle could be heard, casting dappled light on the tatami mats.

"I'd like to ask about Gigantamax."

Li Chen looked at Ma Shide and asked, "Do you have Max Mushroom and Max Sweetie here?"

After speaking, Li Chen's fingertips paused on the rim of the teacup, the rising steam blurring the thoughts in his eyes.

As Urshifu was recalled, its Poké Ball suddenly trembled slightly, as if sensing the immense energy flowing through its trainer's wrist.

"Gigantamax Fungus and Gigantamax Sweetie..."

Master Ma tapped the rim of the bowl three times with his tea spoon, and Mrs. Honey Leaf responded by pulling open the cupboard.

Inside, dozens of glass jars with danger signs were prominently displayed.

The amber-colored, gigantic honey flowed slowly in the jar, occasionally bursting into eerie purplish-red sparks of electricity.

Honey Leaf suddenly pointed her spatula towards the corner of the courtyard: "As for Mushrooms..."

Looking in that direction, several bear apprentices were furtively surrounding a giant, glowing mushroom, and one of the little guys' paws had turned an unnatural purplish-red.

"I recommend that you wear protective gloves when collecting samples."

After Honey Leaf finished speaking.

A glint flashed in Master Ma's eyes as he slowly put down his teacup, the bottom of which made a dull thud as it collided with the sandalwood table.

"Young man..."

He suddenly gathered martial arts energy at his fingertips, fixing the floating tea leaves in mid-air. "Are you preparing to fight something even more troublesome than Wuji Tai?"

Li Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and the flow of the four inherited powers within his body paused for a moment.

A muffled thud suddenly came from the courtyard.

Looking to the side, it turned out to be the bear apprentice who had stolen the giant mushroom, its body glowing purple, rolling around on the ground.

"Armed forces are ready..."

Master Ma suddenly lifted the tatami mat, revealing rows of modified, gigantic wristbands hidden in a secret compartment underneath.

"But some forces..."

He looked meaningfully at the sky outside the window, "Even legendary Pokémon can backfire on themselves."

Lady Honey Leaf silently placed the first aid kit next to Max Sweetness, and the full recovery medicine inside was already arranged according to dosage.

"I know, but the place I am in is already in imminent danger."

Li Chen shook his head.

He stroked the Ultimate Ball at his waist.

Kosmome was among them.

If we bring disaster upon ourselves...
