He knows Pokémon better than me.

Cai Dou looked somewhat dazed, and after a long pause, she nodded in response:
Hello, my name is Cai Dou.

"Rainbow Bean? Wait a minute, you're the other arena owner in Suchuan Town, right?!"

Xiao Zhi blurted out in surprise, "The girl Mary mentioned before was a genius fighter. That matches up with the one in front of me."

I didn't see it in Suchuan Town, but I didn't expect to see it in the wilderness after leaving there!
"So you often come here to work out? It's definitely a great place!"

Ash sized up the Machamp family behind him. Machamp was probably newly captured, but the other two were clearly well-trained Pokémon of considerable level.

Cai Dou nodded blankly, her gaze falling on Xiao Zhi's apprentice, Kuma.

"Excuse me, who is this bear apprentice?"

Without even thinking, Xiao Zhi answered casually:
"A bear apprentice? Oh, it was a gift from a friend."

Cai Dou stared intently, about to ask what kind of friend it was, but then swallowed her words.

It seems like knowing the answer to this kind of question is pointless.

Observing the boy in front of me, he didn't seem to be an athlete, but he had been running alongside me the whole time and didn't seem tired at all!
Cai Dou was puzzled, but at this moment she was more interested in seeing Ash's trainer skills and why he was able to get Kubrick as his apprentice.

So she took out her Rotom phone, opened the app, and held it up in front of Ash.

Xiao Zhi was stunned, not understanding why the fighting girl suddenly held up her phone to him. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the World Championship interface.

The label currently displayed is "Rainbow Bean, Rank 90 in Advanced Ball Level".

"A high-level ball?!"

Ash's eyes lit up. He knew that many of the trainers in the first half of the High Ball level were Elite Four level trainers, and even those ranked lower were still highly skilled trainers far superior to ordinary trainers.

With such diligent training, no wonder your ranking is so high.

Judging from the other party's attitude, it seems they want to have sex with me right here and now?
Ash sighed, reluctantly pulled out his Pokédex, and displayed his skill level—

"Superball level, 890th place."

Official matches are not possible between players of different ranks, except during promotion matches.

Even in the qualifying rounds, the two players are ranked similarly.

Seeing this, Aya put away her phone, Rotom, but her expression remained unchanged.

Rankings don't matter; all she wants to know right now is Ash's actual strength.

When the trainers locked eyes, a battle was about to begin. Ash immediately understood Bea's meaning, and the two turned around and started fighting right there on the shore of Lake Outrage.

"Then let's just do whatever we want, no rules or restrictions!"

Ash said loudly, and Bea nodded.

Stopping only when she's satisfied is exactly what she wants.

"Then I choose you, Doll Bear!"

"Prepare for battle, arm wrestling!"

Cai Dou's wrist had rested, and she walked forward with a confident expression, swinging her little arm.

On the other side, the teddy bear sat on the ground, staring blankly.

"Strike first, break the tile!"

Rainbow Bean launched the first attack. The Doll Bear is a Normal + Fighting type, which puts it at a disadvantage in the Fighting match.

"Wrist drink!!"

With a surge of wrist strength, he raised his arm and transformed it into a white light hand blade, slashing fiercely at the teddy bear.

However, without Ash's command, Bebop simply raised its hand and caught the Brick Breaker without even moving its body.

"Wrist!?"

His wrist strength was half a head greater than hers, and he was immediately stunned.

"Continuous tile splitting!"

Behind her, Cai Dou directed the attack while simultaneously throwing punches.

With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a series of swift chop blows at the teddy bear's vital areas. *Slap! Slap! Slap!*
However, the teddy bear easily caught them all, and each collision produced a strange sound like a hit on a plush toy.

"How can it be?!"

Cai Dou looked astonished. Simply taking a heavy blow from the wrist wouldn't have surprised her, but this teddy bear completely neutralized the force, as if it had hit a ball of cotton.

This means that the two sides have vastly different control over the force.

"Battle over, Puppet Bear Rockbreaker!"

Ash didn't call out a specific move, but Bebop understood. With one hand, it held Machop's Brick Breaker so Machop couldn't retract, and with the other hand, it slammed it out without any fancy moves, hitting Machop squarely in the stomach.

boom--!
Like a rock being shattered, Wanli's body was suddenly thrown out and crashed heavily in front of Cai Dou, where he immediately fainted.

Kill instantly with one hit!

This scene caused both Macho and Macho, who were observing the situation from the sidelines, to pause for a moment.

"Amazing"

Cai Dou's mouth agape. She had originally thought that the bear apprentice was the dangerous one, but it seemed that this teddy bear was even more outrageous!

Just as he withdrew his wrist, the Magnus sitting next to him with its arms crossed stood up.

"Haoli.!"

It gave a low shout and greeted Rainbow Bean, then walked straight up to the teddy bear.

Now I'll show you the power of your senior!

"Use tile splitting!"

It was still a basic fighting move; Machamp assumed a chop stance and slashed fiercely at the bear's head.

"Stop them!"

However, it was still the same familiar scene: the teddy bear sat still, raising its hand to steadily block the hand chop.

Of course, this time there was a crashing sound instead of the ridiculously soft sound from before.

"Haoli!"

Haoli refused to believe in bad luck and unleashed a series of double-handed slashes, but they were all blocked by the teddy bear without the bear's rear end moving an inch on the ground.

Ayaka also made a judgment: the evolved form of the Doll Bear, the Clothing Bear, has extremely strong strength, but the strength of the Doll Bear in its normal form is just average, right?

Judging from the fact that this was an individual with superhuman strength, she quickly changed her attack:
"In that case, let's use the momentum to throw them!"

Hagoromo's forehead was already dripping with sweat, but as a fighting expert, it immediately grabbed the bear's wrist.

Then he leaned back, lay down, and grabbed the bear's arm to lift it up.

With a powerful kick from both feet, he sent the teddy bear flying backward.

"Ji~?"

The teddy bear traced a path in the air before landing on its bottom and settling into another spot.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to have just taken the fall as a fun aerial bear tactic.

"What the heck, this teddy bear?!"

Cai Dou frowned, wondering if it was due to her natural superhuman strength or her hard buttocks. There was a sense that she couldn't find any flaws in her defenses.

Even though he was sitting there harmlessly, he gave her a strange sense of oppression.

"Damn it, if that's how it is!"

Without hesitation, Cai Dou pulled a round gem from her backpack, which seemed to be burning with flames inside.

She tossed it to Haoli, who caught it and casually put it into his underwear pocket.

"The Flame Orb?"

Ash recognized it at a glance; it was a no-rules competition, so using items on the field was fine.

Wouldn't it get hot if I put the Flame Orb in my underwear?! (End of Chapter)
