He knows Pokémon better than me.

Seeing that there seemed to be more to the story, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but press for details.

This secret martial art has nothing to do with Pokémon moves, but it's somewhat similar to the Aura Hero's use of Aura power?
It doesn't distinguish between humans and Pokémon; both can train.

Mr. Yinren suddenly demonstrated this to his disciple Xiong today. Is he about to impart some profound secret?

The bear apprentice was already standing nearby, his eyes burning with desire, practically ready to become his disciple on the spot.

"The Water Stream Rock Smash Fist originated from an old human boxer in the Greenland region. It is a boxing style that can be practiced and used by both humans and Pokémon. It was very popular on the Greenland at that time and had many disciples."

Yinren was in no hurry and slowly began to recount the history. The snorkeling weasel beside him held its breath and remained calm and focused, just like the flowing water.

"But later, because one of the disciples had practiced martial arts but was a wolf-type Pokémon with a brutal personality, it defeated all the disciples with its powerful strength. This also led to the gradual decline of the Water Rock Smash technique in the Greenland region."

"Of all the martial arts techniques passed down to this day, only my Floating Weasel still possesses the secrets of this style."

Yinren let out a long sigh.

Moreover, today's jadeite washers are more focused on "survival" and no longer value the profound secrets of ancient methods.
Even the best boxing skills can't be eaten like rice.

Ash listened in a daze, wondering if the wolf-type Pokémon was a Poliwag or a Lycanroc.
If it's in the Greenland region, could it be a Greenland-looking Zoroark?

Yinren shook his head. He didn't know exactly what the wolf-type Pokémon from a hundred years ago was anymore, but since it was so gifted, it must have been a Fighting-type Pokémon.

"So, Mr. Yinren, what brings you here today?"

Ash pointed to the Floating Weasel, then to his Kuma apprentice.

Yinren suppressed his emotions, smiled, and nodded:
"That's right, I plan to pass on this secret technique to your Pokémon. Uh, what's this Pokémon called?"

"Its name is Kubrick! It's a Pokémon from the Galar region!"

Xiao Zhi quickly introduced, and Xiong's apprentice immediately tensed up, waiting for inspection.

"Calling him Xiong's apprentice is a good name."

Yinren nodded, bent down and carefully examined Xiong's apprentice. With his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was clearly a good candidate for martial arts training.

Whether it's the power of waveguides or the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, these are profound techniques mastered by only a very few people in this world. Therefore, the most important thing for them is not actually to promote and popularize them.

Instead, they passed down the profound secrets so that they wouldn't completely disappear.

On the first day of special training, Yinren noticed Xiaozhi's bear apprentice—

Fighting-type Pokémon seem to have an extraordinary understanding of water flow, and most importantly...
The fighting style still emphasizes high-speed combos!

These are the three most important conditions for practicing the "Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist"!
While his Float Weasel had mastered the ultimate technique, it only fulfilled the latter two conditions, as it is not a Fighting-type Pokémon.
Therefore, no matter how much the Floatweak trains, there will always be a hurdle or bottleneck, preventing it from further improving and becoming the most powerful Pokémon.

Of course, Floatzel has a very easy time dealing with ordinary Pokémon.

However, the bear apprentice in front of him was different; he could sense the immense potential contained within the latter!

"If it could fully comprehend the essence of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist."

Yinren's heart couldn't help but race.

Not only can the boxing style be passed down, but it might even be carried forward and developed by Xiong's apprentice!
"Drink it!!"

The snorkeling weasel stretched out its paw towards the bear apprentice and let out a majestic low growl, asking if he wanted to train with it.
"Bear drink!!"

The disciple immediately clasped his hands and bowed, adopting the standard martial arts etiquette of a disciple.

"Um, Mr. Yinren, how long exactly does it take to master the secrets of the Water Stream Rock Smash Fist?" Ash couldn't help but interrupt.

If he had to cultivate for a year or two, that would be a bit of a challenge for him, since he would have to take his bear apprentice back to the Galar region to complete his evolution later.

Xiao Guang estimates that he should be able to finish the "Washing Green World" in less than two months, given his current speed of completion.

If we speed things up a bit more, we might be able to return to the modern world in a month.

Yinren smiled, his face gaining even more of his electric, handsome charm:

"Don't worry, this profound secret isn't something you can master by practicing punches in a rigid, step-by-step manner. You might be able to fully grasp it within a few days. Then, practice on your own and integrate it into your understanding, and you'll naturally reach the pinnacle."

Most of the apprentices in the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist school back then were actually not a good fit.

It is said that the wolf-type Pokémon was the last to become an apprentice, but it was exceptionally talented and defeated all the senior brothers and sisters in the entire sect in a short time.

Then he left without a trace, disappearing from the Xicui area.

Yinren did a simple calculation:
"Including the two days here, and the time we're going to Zhuqing Village together, plus the time spent on the road, it should be enough for your disciple Xiong to fully comprehend this profound technique."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, then became overjoyed.

And such a good thing!

He had never heard of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist in modern times; it seems to have been completely lost in the future.

This trip back to the Xicui area was just a coincidence!

Next, the snorkeling weasel began training with its bear apprentice. The former leaped into the water without splashing a single drop.

Thump!

But for the bear apprentice, even though it was lighter, it still splashed a lot of water.

"cowry!"

The snorkeling weasel waved its hand, indicating that there was no need to rush.

He then held his breath and focused, with half of his body submerged in the water. In just a moment, he seemed to become one with the surrounding water.

"There's something!"

Ash was also watching curiously from the shore. He discovered that even when Ash scanned the Floating Weasel with his Aura, he couldn't sense anything; all he got in return was ordinary water flow.

Then the Floating Weasel raised its hands and once again made a strange gesture with its hook claws, which was the starting stance of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.

With each subsequent swing, a faint arc of water flow was left in the air.

Xiao Zhi rubbed his eyes and realized it was a visual illusion.

Magearna and the other young warriors were also watching curiously. Ash couldn't help but turn around and look at Gintoki:
"Um, by the way, can we watch it too?"

Shouldn't others avoid the topic of passing on profound secrets?
Yinren had already lit another cigarette and shrugged indifferently.

"It's alright, it's a good thing if others can grasp this profound meaning."

Just like the inheritance of the power of Aura, the former Aura Warriors couldn't wait for more people to comprehend it.

Yinren, quite naturally, moved closer to Yukshi, offered him a cigarette, and then they both examined the Rotom phone. He had been curious about what was on it for a long time! (End of Chapter)
