Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

"I see!"

Then Bai Linglong blinked her big eyes and looked at Luo Ke curiously.

"And what about you, Luo Ke? What are you going to do next?"

Upon hearing Bai Linglong's words, Luo Ke raised an eyebrow, casually picked up the rocking chair placed in the room, and spoke without changing his expression under Bictini's rather subtle gaze.

"Go and train my Pokémon!"

"After all, I've already tried almost everything I wanted to eat at this Tianwu Tournament. Next, I'll be exploring different restaurants one by one. It's best to take things slowly. So, I'll go challenge the Tianwu Dojo tomorrow or the day after."

"that is it."

After leaving those words, Rocco took Bictini to the backyard.

Bai Linglong looked at the rocking chair that Luo Ke had casually picked up with a puzzled expression.

"Why would you bring a rocking chair to training?"

"Hmm... he must have some deeper meaning."

"Well, Luo Ke was called up to fight two matches before he even finished his meal at the Heavenly Martial Arts Tournament. He must be exhausted. Tonight I'll use those leftover dishes and some good ingredients to cook him a nice meal to reward him!"

......

42. Amazing Wisdom

Luo Ke became famous.

Although he left immediately after the Tianwu Tournament, the title of champion of the tournament was still awarded to him after everyone else realized what had happened.

No other martial artist even considered competing with Luo Ke.

There was no way around it. If Luo Ke had only defeated Lei Lie, then everyone would have just considered him as Bai Kehu, still a human being. But the martial artists present had all studied the move he used when he defeated Lando.

Not to mention them, even their elves said they might not be able to stop them!

Bai Kehu, who can knock other martial artists off the stage with a single blow, has been called the number one martial artist in Tiangang.

The sheer power of that attack, capable of defeating an elf, speaks for itself.

After this news spread online, Luo Ke's performance during the summer camp was finally revealed, and he gradually came into the public eye.

He blasted a flock of sparrows with his fist, clearing away a patch of land in one strike, and caught the Pokémon with his bare hands!

Then, when Roko was fighting the Darkrai Gym, the Ditto that had transformed into Roko was dug up again.

When it transformed into Roco, it meant that becoming Roco granted it power equivalent to that of an elf!

The only thing that can't compare is Rocco's Ditto.

What is the power level of Koroko's Ditto?

In other people's eyes, it can easily defeat Bai Youyou's Sand Eater, fight alongside Eureka's Altaria, and take on King's Tyranitar!

Even the minimum guarantee is top-tier!

It's perfectly normal that it can't compare!

Some people have even summarized the above statements and put forward a viewpoint.

"As we all know, Ditto's transformation relies on its own strength to recreate the target it's transformed into. So, is it possible that the Ditto that transformed into Mr. Loko at the Dark Continent Gym wasn't as strong as Mr. Loko?"

This viewpoint was accepted by the public as soon as it was put forward.

This has made Luo Ke, who was already popular recently due to his involvement in an entertainment tournament and Z-Moves, a hot topic online once again.

However, there are still some points of contention regarding Luo Ke's strength.

One side argues that Luo Ke's strength makes him the strongest martial artist, while the other side claims that although Mr. Luo Ke is very strong, he doesn't seem to use any martial arts or modern fighting techniques.

Looking at these arguments, Lando, lying in the hospital room, scoffed disdainfully.

"These guys have such a shallow understanding of martial arts!"

"Besides techniques, martial arts also involves honing the body. No matter how exquisite the techniques are, they cannot achieve their maximum effect without the support of a strong body. Therefore, forging the body into a weapon is the essence of martial arts!"

As he said this, Lando also stretched his body.

According to the doctor, if he doesn't receive formal treatment for his injury and just gets some simple treatment and waits for it to heal naturally, he won't be able to get out of bed for several months.

But Randall, who had not yet received proper treatment, had already removed his bandages, broken the cast, and stood up.

During this process, the creaking sound of his bones constantly emanating from his body.

If anyone could see through his skin to his body, they would see that he had almost completely straightened his dislocated joints by pressing them back into place, and that he had used his muscles to fix some of his severely cracked bones.

The pain from the fractured bone and muscle would have made anyone else scream like a pig being slaughtered, but Lando endured it without batting an eye.

Just as Luo Ke said, he really put in a lot of hard work and took many risks for his beloved martial arts, to defeat his elder brother in Tiangang, to take back everything and achieve his goal, and also to achieve the goal of Boss Ruozong of Z Company.

Those forbidden techniques that were banned in the present-day Tiangang and passed down from the Kingdoms period, nine out of ten people who practiced them would become cripples. Lan Dao himself practiced more than ten of them!

What about bone-shrinking techniques, internal organ shifting methods, and tendon and bone techniques...?

The hard work he put in for this was divided equally among twenty people, and there was a possibility that all twenty of them might fail in their training.

He was a strongman recognized by that proud guy, Ruozong.

Unfortunately, his first opponent upon returning to Tiangang was Luo Ke...

He thought he was invincible after mastering martial arts, but after leaving the mountain, he encountered Kamen Rider.

"But a defeat is a defeat. That Rocco guy is really strong. Just feeling that absolute power makes you imagine how much effort he's put in. Hmph, looks like I haven't been working hard enough..."

Having regained his mobility, Lando neatly changed his clothes.

Just as Roco suspected, he was put in by the Anwu Association, so not only was he imprisoned, but his Poké Ball was still on him.

"Go get treatment first, and then... hmph, I'll just go find my older brother."

"Although we haven't been able to get back from the position where I lost in the Heavenly Martial Tournament, Ruozong's plan must continue."

Thinking of this, Lando suddenly remembered something, so a stiff smile appeared on his cold, sharp face.

He remembered a sentence that Luo Ke had said before he defeated him.

'I'm not targeting anyone in particular, I'm saying everyone here is trash.'

At the time, Luo Ke said that this was the way to be straightforward and direct.

"But I had a specific goal in mind during the Heavenly Martial Arts Tournament, so I can't say that. But going to my elder brother and his group of athletes and disciples, that statement was indeed satisfying!"

...

Lando resumed its activities, while at the Anwu Association headquarters, Zong Qinke was reviewing the information he had found about Luo Ke based on online data.

When he heard that Luo Ke had achieved some success in Los Angeles, he thought about his suspicion that Luo Ke was Bai Kehu and hurriedly sent people to collect information.

Zong Qinke, or rather, all the members of his clan over the past few thousand years, except for a very small number, or perhaps only one, of them, have been quite cautious individuals.

The main branch of the family might not have been like this in earlier times.

But the family’s ancestral motto, which has been in place since the alliance era, is: I would rather do nothing than make a mistake!

Even though Zong Qinke already believed that Luo Ke was Bai Kehu, he still carefully reviewed Luo Ke's information.

"Hmm...although it has a complete background and you can't find any problems in it, something's not right about this background!"

"Given his background, capturing a powerful Pokémon could be considered an opportunity, and coming up with the illusionary tactic could be considered a talent, but this guy has never practiced martial arts!"

"There's no background information showing that they've ever trained; they just say they have superhuman strength?"

"My family has a history of over five thousand years, dating back to the era of the various kingdoms. What kind of innate superhuman strength haven't we seen? Without training and martial arts practice, how could we possibly become this strong?"

"Even someone as talented as me and my foolish older brother who was expelled from the main family and stripped of our surnames, who started practicing martial arts from a young age, couldn't possibly become this strong!"

"We are born with superhuman strength!"

"And in the last thousand years, only you, Bai Kehu, have been able to surpass us in talent, or even crush us!"

“Even with that Lan Tianwu, you were able to overcome the nearly ten-year age difference and fight him to a standstill while he was in his prime.”

"Hmph, Bai Kehu, you disguised yourself very well, but you can't fool my astonishing wisdom, Zong Qinke!"

Regardless, Zong Qinke felt that Luo Ke was Bai Kehu.

Even if he really isn't, Zong Qinke will treat him as Bai Kehu now, better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

"The gods have begun to show signs of awakening. If we cannot retrieve the pearl that Bai Kehu has hidden in time... the Zong family's plans since the alliance was established will all be in vain!"

"I will never allow that to happen. In the coming Age of Gods, there will definitely be a place for my sect, Qin Ke!"

"After my mother remarried, she gave birth to me in the main family, which had a grand plan, before she died. Then, I was born with superhuman strength, which was different from others. The eldest son of the main family suddenly died before I grew up. My older brother, who was older than me, made a stupid mistake and let me inherit everything. All these coincidences show that fate chose me!"

"In this new era, even I, Qin Ke, can become a god!"

43. Blue Sky Martial Arts

The popular fighting rules in Tiangang, especially the modern rules, allow Pokémon to fight using martial arts rather than specific moves, which is not only entertaining but also effectively promotes martial arts culture.

Moreover, some martial arts have drastically different effects in the hands of elves versus humans.

For example, Yang Wen's Hitmonchan—Luo Ke had seen it in the Pokédex before his transmigration. Although Hitmonchan is a Pokémon with fast punching speed, great power, and high burst damage, its problem is that it cannot sustain its punches.

It only takes a few minutes to tire it out.

The Yang family boxing style emphasizes continuous movement and employs techniques that involve mobilizing the entire body to coordinate punches, thereby reducing physical exertion.

If Quick-Punch Man were to use something like this, it could even make up for its inherent weaknesses.

This is also why Eureka told Rocco that the dojo was very useful when he left Los Angeles, especially to have him learn the fighting dojo.

While martial arts may be compatible with some Pokémon, for Pokémon, the decisive factor in their battles is still the moves themselves.

This results in a situation where, although the rules of the competition are novel and interesting, the masters among them are not necessarily those who have mastered the combination of martial arts and elves.

But the true masters who have reached the pinnacle in this field...

Blue Sky Warrior!

Tianwu Gym Leader.

Rumor has it that if he hadn't withdrawn from worldly affairs after driving away his younger brother, focusing instead on training disciples and running the dojo, he would still be the number one martial artist in Tiangang, and even Bai Kehu wouldn't have been able to take that honor from him.

He is that kind of strong person.

But today, in his own dojo, he was on high alert, taking the challenger he had found extremely seriously.

"Luo Ke, the challenge rules of Tianwu Dojo are very simple. It's just a one-on-one duel, and you're allowed to use techniques and items. Is there a problem?"

Lan Tianwu had a very sunny smile on his rugged face. Although his appearance was about 80% similar to Lan Dao's, perhaps because he was a bit stronger than Lan Dao, you could not find any coldness in him, only the warmth of the sun.

"No. I did some research before I came, so we can get started now."

"it is good."

Lan Tianwu nodded slightly.

"However, Roco, although I usually only send out Pokémon that can deal with beginners when facing other challengers, I have to send out my ace when facing an expert like you."

So please make sure you're prepared.

"I'll give it my all."

With that, Lan Tianwu turned and walked towards the platform on the right, while Luo Ke smiled, turned and walked towards the platform on the left, and gave his response at the same time.

"it is good."

All that needs to be said is said.

When Luo Ke and Lan Tianwu appeared on the Trainer's Platform and the protective barrier inside the Gym Arena was fully opened, both of them took out Poké Balls and sent their Pokémon out.

Rocco's choice is—Ditto.

During this time, Ditto has been learning combat techniques, also known as ancient martial arts, from Necrozma. With Victini's training, it has finally begun to show significant results after several months.

Its strength is growing, and now is the time to unleash that power.

Lan Tianwu's trump card is—superhuman strength!

Many people speculate that many of the famous scenes created by Loko's Ditto were achieved by transforming into his superhuman strength.
