He knows Pokémon better than me.

As the bear apprentice raised the snare's claws, the originally gentle palm strike instantly transformed into a powerful fist, delivering two quick punches to the snare's chest.

boom! boom! !

With such force, Niu La was sent flying backward in an instant, embedding itself heavily in the glacial rock wall behind it.

"Bae~"

Beside Yinren, the old boxer Fukami Itachi watched with satisfaction, nodding repeatedly.

The master has basically grasped the essence of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist. All that remains is to practice diligently and make it his own style of boxing.

For now, it can only be used for surprise parries and counterattacks. Its true power will only be revealed after the bear apprentice evolves!
"Nura!!"

On the other side, Sneasel got up from the pile of rubble, covered in dust. As a Poison-type Pokémon, it has excellent resistance to Fighting moves.

This time it charged out again, bringing its claws together and transforming them into deep purple, highly venomous spikes.

Poison attack!

Such a sharp thrusting attack is something that Jiehuafa cannot handle.

However, the snorkeling weasel wasn't the only master of the bear apprentice.

"See the truth!"

Just as the poison attack was about to hit, the bear's eyes suddenly flashed green. He used the technique of using stillness to control movement, which he had learned from his teacher Lucario, and his superhuman senses to dodge, allowing the deadly poison attack to pass by his ear.

"Now! Break the rocks!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiong's apprentice used his Rock-Smashing Inch Punch to strike Niula's chest, reducing the latter's defense.

In the next instant, another Rock-Shattering Inch Punch was unleashed from the other side, striking the same spot precisely.

boom! !

The emerald niu's body flew backward again, and there was even a sound of armor breaking.

That hit the vital point!
"Wow, that loving fist gesture from the bear disciple is a bit too intense!"

Xiao Zhi secretly clicked his tongue in amazement from behind.

He threw two punches at supersonic speed. Although the power of each punch decreased slightly, the two punches combined only had about 120% of the power of a normal punch, so the improvement didn't seem significant.

But the most crucial aspect of this boxing style is its additional effects!

For example, the Rock Smash move has the effect of weakening the opponent's physical defense, creating an opening in the same spot, which allows the second punch to deal critical damage!
Having taken several punches to the chest in succession, the leader, Niu La, could no longer withstand the onslaught.

It hadn't evolved yet, and its physical strength wasn't very high, so it eventually collapsed unconscious in the pile of broken ice.

"Well done!"

Ash raised his hand and retrieved his bear apprentice in one swift motion.

However, Yinren and the others were somewhat surprised and doubtful that they were not going to subdue them.
Unlike modern times, the Greenland region is not a place where even ordinary trainers can easily assemble a team.

Here, only high-star investigators like Team Galactic have the ability to capture a whole team of Pokémon. Most people are already quite remarkable if they can own one or two Pokémon.

Therefore, once you defeat a wild Pokémon, you will usually try your best to catch it.

"Uh, never mind."

After hesitating for a moment, Ash ultimately decided not to throw the Green Poké Ball. The Green Sneasel quickly regained its senses, the red light in its eyes diminished considerably, and it soon escaped into the depths of the glacier.

He already has a large enough Galar team.

Including the Pokémon eggs that are about to hatch, the number has long exceeded six.
If you're going to catch any new Pokémon in the future, you'll have to choose carefully.

"Speaking of which, the Xicui area is ancient..."

Ash reached back and touched his backpack, finding a cylindrical device containing Pokémon eggs. He thought to himself:
"According to Akin, this Pokémon egg also has ancient bloodline." From the Galar region to the Sinnoh region, and then to the Green region, he carried this Pokémon egg with him all the way, as it could hatch at any time.

Perhaps this era is the best time for incubation?

The journey to Zhuqing Village continues, and without deliberately taking detours, Ash has basically challenged all the boss Pokémon along the way.

Other members of the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce also enjoyed watching, finding it much more relaxing than their usual journeys.

"Teddy Bear, use Rock Smash!!"

When facing a boss, a little wild boar, the puppet bear doesn't use any fancy moves or techniques.

With a powerful punch, the bear sent a 2-meter-tall wild boar, almost the size of an evolved long-haired pig, flying and embedding itself in the nearby glacier.

"The styles are really quite different."

Yinren almost dropped the tobacco he was holding in his mouth.

Generally speaking, trainers only specialize in one style. I've never heard of someone like Ash who trains his Pokémon in completely different styles of martial arts at the same time.

Next up is the leader, a long-haired pig, which is next to the little wild boar. It is over three meters tall and is a real hairy mountain of meat.

Its head was covered by thick mane, so its distinctive red eyes were not visible.

"If it's the leader, the Ivory Boar, then it must be a divine beast in size, right?"

Ash thought to himself, "It's a pity that the boss, the Mamoswine, lives near the Pearl Village, which is too far from here."

"Since it's a long-haired pig, then it's your choice, Tengcui Junior General!!"

Ash sent out the Galar teams one by one, which was a good opportunity to test the results of his week of training at the Wise Lake Ice Pool.

"Long—Moo!!"

The long-haired pig let out a low howl, opened its mouth wide, and began to exhale a vortex of ice and snow. The power was not great, but the coverage area was extremely wide.

Even the honest and kind types seem to become violent after becoming leaders.

Before long, the edges of the hair on Tengcu Xiaojiang's body were frozen with ice shards.

The freezing wind has slowed down!
Xiao Zhi responded immediately:
"Useless! Use charged flame attack!"

The young general jumped twice in place, his body bursting into flames, easily melting away the ice shards. His speed not only didn't decrease but actually increased, even reaching a higher level.

Whoosh! !

However, the icy mist blown out of the long-haired pig's mouth instantly transformed into countless sharp ice stones.

"Ice Shard Special Move? Little Tengju General, run!"

After using the ice shards, the attack was no longer a full-range attack. The young general quickly ran around and easily dodged the attack.

"Long—Moo!!"

Faced with the agile rabbit, the leader, the long-haired pig, quickly lost all patience, suddenly raised its forelegs, and then stomped heavily on the ground.

Boom! !

The ground began to shake violently, and the ice on the surface cracked and spread one after another. The seismic waves even reached the location of the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce group behind them in no time. Everyone roused themselves and stood firm.

Logically, ground-type moves should be able to deal critical hits to the Swift Swallow, but the long-haired pig found that there was no rabbit in sight on the entire surrounding plane.

It quickly raised its head, revealing a pair of red eyes through the gaps in its mane.

"Moo?"

Upon seeing its target, the long-haired pig was taken aback. How did this little rabbit end up in the sky?! (End of Chapter)
