I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Therefore, in order to avoid the problem that Aixia and Apprentice Xiong could not understand each other's feelings due to their short acquaintance, Master Ma specially arranged an environment for the two of them to cultivate their feelings.

But......

Look at Apprentice Bear, he can’t wait to throw himself into Aisha’s arms.

There is also Aisha's attitude towards his apprentice Bear. He planned to let his apprentice Bear take Aisha around to see the scenery on Kai Island, but probably that is not necessary.

"Then let me, the old man, start a new exercise for you."

"A new workout?"

Aisha looked up.

He already understood what Master Ma meant.

Immediately, his eyes revealed deep excitement and anticipation.

"Hoo ho~"

Master Ma smiled.

"Xia Xia, don't be fooled by the fact that Disciple Bear is small, only a little bit tall. But in fact, this child is very hardworking when practicing, and his mentality is absolutely good."

"Most importantly, this child possesses incredible power, waiting for you to discover." Master Ma patted his chest and assured Aixia, "I, old man, mean what I say. If you follow the new trials and treat it well, it will definitely bring you great surprises in the near future."

"Ah."

Aisha nodded.

He lowered his head and looked at the Poké Ball of his apprentice, Bear. He responded to Master Ma's words with a smile, saying, "I believe in Apprentice Bear!"

"That's good."

Master Ma’s eyes are deep.

Instead of believing your own words, do you believe your disciple Bear?

Really...

Even though I am old and my eyes are blurry, I am sure I didn't make a mistake.

This kid treats his own Pokémon so well, nothing can stop him.

No wonder his Pokémon work so hard during training and battles.

In fact, during the few days that Aisha came to Kai Island, Master Ma saw many of his interactions with his Pokémon.

Including Marillil's battle at sea.

And when Aisha used Happiny to accept the challenge of her disciples in her own courtyard.

Master Ma is also an old veteran who has been a trainer for decades. Naturally, he can see that all of Aisha's Pokémon have absolute trust in him and an unshakable and unquestionable deep affection for him.

For ordinary trainers, no matter how hard they try, it is impossible for the Pokémon in the team to avoid conflicts.

Disagreements between trainers and Pokémon, and minor frictions between Pokémon are common occurrences.

But such a phenomenon has never occurred in Aisha's team.

Not even once.

Pokémon always trust Aisha unconditionally, believe in his choices and arrangements, and follow his orders meticulously and seriously.

Pokémon have always maintained a good relationship with each other. As far as Master Ma remembers, he has never seen the Pokémon in Aisha's team quarrel even once. Apart from daily bickering, they have never even had a quarrel out of anger.

Even the new member of the team, Snake, can easily make friends and live harmoniously in the team.

There is no doubt that Aisha's status in the hearts of Pokémon has reached an unimaginable level.

Such a perfect trainer - at least for Aisha's Pokémon, he is a flawless existence.

"enough."

Master Ma uttered something meaningless.

"I trust you and Apprentice Bear, so..."

Master Ma didn't finish his words in one breath.

He walked out of the martial arts hall and came outside.

Aisha released the bear apprentice from the Poké Ball, and the man and the Pokémon followed Master Ma's footsteps and walked out of the martial arts gym together.

"After being on Armor Island for so many days, you should have noticed it, right, Xia Xia?"

Master Ma asked this while looking at the beach in the distance.

"Ah."

Aisha nodded, followed his gaze, and looked towards the beach.

The weather has been very nice these days.

Even when night falls, the deep blue sky is still filled with bright stars.

The stars form a brilliant star road, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

To the west of Kai Island, on the golden sand beach called Challenge Beach, stands an ancient tower built with blue wood, with its top protruding from behind the mountain.

"That's the Water Tower. There's also a Tower of Evil to the east. You should have seen it when you went to the Warm-up Cave to pick the Gigantamax Mushrooms."

"Yes."

Aisha recalled.

indeed.

While he, Shiny Haunter, and Kirlia were madly hunting down wild Pokémon on the training plains, he saw a five-story wooden tower with black wood mixed into the roof and walls at the end of the training path to the east.

That is what Master Ma calls the Tower of Evil.

"Tomorrow, take Apprentice Bear to the Water Tower. There are secret techniques at the top of the tower that can further enhance his strength and skills, even to the point of sublimation."

Master Ma told Aixia the content of the next trial in a concise and concise manner.

He turned around, and his expression suddenly changed from the calmness of an old man to a fierce look.

At this moment, he finally began to resemble that veteran champion-level trainer who, in his youth, had won the Galar regional league championship for eighteen years without a single defeat. Even in his old age, he was able to gain a firm foothold in the trainer world with his superb martial arts skills and become a martial arts master praised by everyone.

"I'll be waiting at the top of the tower for you two to break up."

"Little Xia Xia..." Staring at Ai Xia, Master Ma's eyes sparkled with excitement as he said, "In our last match, you defeated me, an old man, online, but don't think I'm only that strong. In tomorrow's match, let me, an old man, show you the wisdom of the older generation!"

Master Ma has been brooding over the fact that Coach Ai got himself killed by dirt during his last online game for a long time.

Tomorrow, he must give Aisha and his apprentice bear some strength!

"If you win, I will teach your bear apprentice the secrets of the Water Tower."

"I understand."

Having said that, Aisha can no longer be modest.

He stared at the old man in front of him, his tone firm.

"My apprentice bear and I will definitely win. To make it stronger, I will go all out tomorrow and defeat all the enemies that stand in our way!"

His words were sonorous and powerful, full of confidence in his own strength.

"Ow!"

The bear apprentice was infected by the trainer's emotions.

It took a step forward, barked loudly at Master Ma, and clenched its fists.

"Hoo ho~"

Master Ma was amused by its appearance.

"Good, what a great momentum!"

Aisha's expression remained unchanged, but she began to think in her heart.

He knew that Master Ma actually had a bear apprentice in his hands.

In the game, players can actually freely choose which tower's secret skills their bear apprentice will inherit between the two fist towers.

The Dark Assault of the Tower of Evil allowed the Bear Apprentice to evolve into a Martial Arts Bear Master with both evil and fighting attributes, the One-Strike Style.

The Water Tower's water flow combo allows the Bear Apprentice to evolve into the Martial Arts Bear Master Combo Flow with water and fighting attributes.

Aisha was not prepared to seriously argue about which of the two forms was stronger.

All I can say is that each has its own uses, and both forms of the Martial Arts Bear Master are actually quite strong.

What he cared about was that Master Ma did not let him and Apprentice Xiong choose which tower's secret skills to inherit, but directly instructed them to go to the Water Tower tomorrow.

this......

It seems that the fighting style and potential of this bear apprentice of his are closer to the Water Tower's water flow attack.

"Just right."

Aisha whispered softly.

He originally wanted to learn the combo-style martial arts bear master, and the current situation is exactly what he wants.

Afterwards, Master Ma said something to Aixia and Apprentice Xiong.

The two said goodbye, and today's events came to an end. Aixia returned to her own small courtyard.

"Okay, everyone!"

Standing in the yard, Aixia pushed his bear disciple towards everyone in the yard.

"I have good news for you all. From now on, Disciple Bear will also be our partner!"

"Ow..."

Apprentice Xiong was pushed out by Aixia and looked at everyone in the yard somewhat at a loss.

At this time, Shiny Gengar and Kirlia were also among the group.

Everyone looked at the bear apprentice with friendly eyes, which made it feel embarrassed. It scratched the back of its head with a red face.

"Ow!"

"Everyone should have known each other by now, so ~ we must get along well with each other in the future!" Aixia laughed.

Upon hearing this, everyone responded to his words in unison.

"dew!"

Marilulli rushed forward first.

After watching a movie together last night, it and its apprentice bear have developed a very deep friendship as movie fans.

Ok.

There are no bad guys for those who like Kung Fu movies!

Besides, even if you haven't seen the movie, Aisha once arranged for his bear apprentice to fight against a group of megalodon sharks at sea with him.

It is the one in Coach Ai's team who is most familiar with Apprentice Xiong.

"Lu~"

Marilulli reached out and patted the bear apprentice on the shoulder.

Don't be afraid~ I'll protect you~

"Ow..."

Apprentice Xiong looked very moved.

It's so kind of you......

It has a very good impression of Mariluri.

This big water rabbit not only taught him the skills of treading water, but may also be his precious comrade-in-arms when he seeks revenge on the megalodon sharks in the future.

nice guy!

"Teng Teng."

The vine snake also came up and extended its hand towards the bear apprentice in a friendly manner.

Not bad, quite energetic.
