He knows Pokémon better than me.

Seeing that the two girls had been arguing for a while, Huoxia even gradually stood up, which made Xiaozhi secretly click his tongue in amazement.

"Is your leg injury all healed?"

Was it because ancient medicines were so effective, or because the people of Xicui had exceptional physical qualities?
However, considering that when Kikui introduced the battle method with Scizor, the trainer also wanted to join in, it seems that the physical fitness of the Greenlings is indeed much stronger than that of modern humans.

It seemed that even the sounds of their argument were affecting the creatures deep within the jungle.

"Bear roar!!"

Suddenly, a violent roar came from the other side of the cave.

Huo Xia's expression changed instantly, as if something terrifying was rapidly approaching.

Until a giant bear, over four meters tall, burst out of the jungle, veins bulging on its forehead, and raised its two thick paws.

"It's that leader, Circle Bear!"

Zhubei immediately became serious, and the Glaceon beside her pricked up its ears and landed in front of it in a defensive posture.

The three major powers each possess some information about the distribution of leaders in the Xicui region, but they do not share this information.

However, some of the more famous ones, such as the Northern Newcomer Nightmare - Flaming Horse, or the Red Lotus Wetland Forest Bully - Circle Bear, are common knowledge.

"It's this round bear!"

Huo Xia instinctively took a few steps back, and her ace cat, Dong Shi, was also scratched by the leader, Quan Quan Xiong, in order to cover her.

"Be careful, this circle bear is very high level."

Logically, once other leaders are captured, they should naturally disappear and be replaced by other types of Pokémon.

But this circle bear was different. Previously, its strength was only considered to be in the third or fourth tier among the leaders, and it wasn't particularly difficult to deal with.
But recently, for some reason, it seems to have leveled up, catching up with the second tier, and even her chubby Eevee was easily defeated.

Huo Xia glanced at Zhu Bei and said:

"If it weren't for the fact that it hasn't evolved yet, its strength should be even greater than the Moon Bear that your Pearl Team serves."

Zhu Bei immediately raised her eyebrows and retorted:

"How is that possible! Ursaring is a Pokémon that has obtained the power of the Sinnoh Might Guy!!"

The bear was about to rush over when Ash sighed helplessly and stepped forward, seeing the two women still arguing.

"It's up to you!"

He throws a Poké Ball backwards, and a red light falls as Goodra, caught in the Kalos region, makes its appearance.

Sticky gray slime dripped from the corners of its mouth and palms, and its silvery-white snail shell seemed to have merged with its tail.

"Sticky Dragon?"

The two stopped their confrontation. Goodra, as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, is a rare breed among trainers who can command battles.

However, Goodra is a tank-type character, so she doesn't have the "absolutely powerful" label like other pseudo-gods.

"And the Poké Ball that Guo Gang is holding?"

Pearl's gaze fell on the red and white Poké Ball in Ash's hand, which was different from the Poké Ball in the green one.

Is this a new product from the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce?

"Bear roar!!"

The leader, Circle Bear, doesn't care about any of that. Now that its strength has greatly increased, anything that appears in its territory will be severely bullied by it!

"Let it calm down first, Water Ripple!"

Nian Meilong nodded, and after coming out, she looked around in confusion.
The environment here gave it a very familiar feeling.

Seeing the circled bear charging at her, the sticky dragon spat out a water bullet, which exploded in the bear's face. "Bear Roar!!"

However, instead of calming down, the Ursaring seemed to be enraged, swinging its claws straight at the Goodra's head.

"Retreat!"

The sticky dragon's body, like soft mud, instantly shrank back into its snail shell, leaving only the pale blue metallic shell lying on the ground.

"Seclusion" is a unique move of the Green Nymph, which can greatly enhance its defensive capabilities.

Clang! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The Circly Bear's sharp claws struck the surface, producing a piercing sound and sparks, but the Goodra remained unmoved, its defenses completely unbreakable.

"What amazing defensive capabilities!"

Huo Xia secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. When did the people from the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce become so good at fighting?
The boss, Ursaring, clearly realized that it couldn't break the snail's shell. Faced with a Steel-type creature, it couldn't use a normal-type cleave move.

It's a fighting-style arm punch!

"Bear roar!!"

Roaring, the bulging bear's arm muscles bulged, its right paw glowed white, and it swung it horizontally!

Seeing this, Ash suddenly shouted:
"Nian Meilong, endure it!"

The sticky dragon understood and emerged from the snail shell again, but this time its pale purple skin now had a layer of metallic silver light, and it was still in a state of enhanced defense.

Although the effect of seclusion is the same as Iron Wall, both can increase physical defense by 2.

However, as an exclusive move, Goodra still gains a +1 physical defense buff after emerging from its shell.

As for Iron Defense, most Pokémon use this move, and once the move ends, the defensive buff also ends.

boom! !

The next moment, the arm hammer slammed into the neck of the sticky dragon. The powerful force twisted and turned the dragon's head, creating a horrifying scene.

Outstanding effect!

However, Goodra, with its amazing defense and slug-like body, possessed a flexibility similar to Ditto, and its head quickly returned to its upright position.

Then his whole body lit up with red light, constantly emitting steaming hot air, like an energy volcano about to erupt.

Xiao Zhi roared loudly:
"It's now, double the reward!"

Nian Meilong understood, and doubled the power of his arm punch, concentrating it all on the snail shell on his back. Then, his body suddenly spun around.

The red and hot snail shell swept out powerfully like a dragon's tail.

Clang!
The powerful force instantly sent the four-meter-tall Circular Bear flying, unable to withstand it at all.

The circled bear was embedded heavily in the nearby cave wall, shattering countless rocks.

Outstanding effect!

The double blow instantly killed the second-tier boss, Circle Bear!
"Well done, Nianmeilong~!"

Ash stepped forward and patted Goodra's snail shell with satisfaction, even though it hadn't really shown its power back in Kalos.
However, that was purely because Greninja was too powerful, making his Kalos Dragon team pale in comparison.

But this doesn't mean that Nyanko-sensei isn't strong!
This scene left Zhubei and Huoxia dumbfounded, especially the Circle Bear in the distance, which had crashed through the rock wall and fallen into the cave, its whereabouts unknown.
Is the leader really that easy to defeat?
Zhubei looked at Xiaozhi thoughtfully, her doubts growing even stronger.

"Is this person really from the Ginkgo Merchant Guild?"

Her demeanor was completely different from all the people from the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce she had ever met before.

Most importantly, the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce really doesn't have any Black people, right?! (End of Chapter)
