He knows Pokémon better than me.

"What kind of hellish power is this!?"

The orange-haired female apprentice's expression tightened. Had she just seen things? It seemed like the pink bear's fist was distorting the air!

Melee combat is prohibited!

"Charge straight at the bear, keep your distance, and use Pin Missiles!"

Galar charged straight at the bear, understanding the signal. It remained at the edge of the arena, its back fur standing on end, and fired countless tiny steel needles.

Unfortunately, this is an indoor dojo. In the wild, the teddy bear could simply grab a rock to block its way.

"Since that's the case, make it round!"

The teddy bear immediately covered its head and curled its body into a ball, increasing its defensive capabilities.

Bang bang bang!
The missiles landed on it but did not penetrate its defenses; they were quickly deflected and scattered around.

"Now! Roll!!"

Ash seized the opportunity to attack, unleashing a classic combination punch from Brock's Geodude.

The teddy bear immediately spun at high speed and rushed out, transforming into a pink and brown tire, speeding towards its target!

Galar charged straight at the bear, who immediately leaped into the air, barely avoiding the rolling charge.

However, the next second, I suddenly felt as if something warm was covering my stomach.

Looking down, I saw that the teddy bear had somehow wrapped its arms around my waist.

The two Pokémon faced each other. The latter had the innocent face of a toy bear, but it gave Bebop a bad feeling.

Then, a sharp pain suddenly shot through my lower back.

It felt as if it were being clamped by steel bars and claws, which were constantly tightening and compressing its flesh and bones.

Click, click—!
Amidst the loud roaring noises of the surrounding environment, a clear sound of bone cracking could still be heard.

"Ugh!"

Galar rushed forward, her body tense, as if being held in the arms of the teddy bear like a pillow. She let out a miserable howl and then gradually fell silent.

"Charge straight for the bear!!"

The female apprentice's expression changed drastically, and she still doesn't know what happened.

She hurriedly turned off the stereo, and the surroundings became quiet in an instant.

Snapped!
The teddy bear also put the Galar Charge Bear back on the ground, but by this time the latter's eyes were already darting around, completely unable to fight.

Its body is like a puddle of soft mud, which can be lifted up and swayed at will.

"Uh, sorry."

Seeing the female apprentice standing there dumbfounded, Xiao Zhi scratched his head and apologized.

After a massage and bone realignment, it should still be usable, right?

However, he thought that meant he had passed the second floor. He quickly pulled the bear cub towards the third floor, leaving the orange-haired female apprentice looking at her Pokémon and questioning her life.

The next two floors shouldn't be a problem for the teddy bear.

Whether it's the nimble and cunning fox or the iron-clawed lobster capable of delivering a fatal blow.
boom!boom!
Strength is absolute. As steam rose from the bear's body, it easily dealt with the situation after a powerful punch.

It wasn't until I reached the fifth floor of the Tower of Evil that things started to get a bit more difficult.

This time, the opponent is an effeminate male apprentice with purple, tousled hair, and standing beside him is a squid king that looks extremely dangerous.

"I've already heard from my men that your teddy bear possesses unparalleled superhuman strength, but to me, that superhuman strength will only become the power of my Squid King!"

He chuckled lightly, looking confident of victory, clearly having received intelligence from his subordinates.

Ash looked around curiously, but didn't see anything strange. He'd seen Malamite before. "Malambite, Psychic!"

Faced with the two psychic slashes flying towards him, the bear-like child swung his little fist and smashed them down, the powerful force shattering the psychic blades with overwhelming force.

The teddy bear was already charging forward with its fists raised.

Even this effeminate male apprentice dared not be careless and quickly gave instructions:
"Now's the time! Use the substitution technique!!"

"Transplanting flowers and grafting trees"—don't be fooled by its seemingly elegant name.
It's actually a deceptive tactic that allows you to use your opponent's strength to launch an attack.

Sure enough, when the Squid King began to borrow the power of the Bear Doll, its two squid tentacles were enveloped in black light, visibly swelled and bulged, and its power was greatly enhanced.
"What incredible power!"

The purple-haired male apprentice exclaimed in surprise, and the next second, the squid king's tentacles suddenly lashed out, colliding with the bear's straight punch.

boom--! !

In the center of the dojo, a violent explosion erupted, and both Pokémon were simultaneously forced to retreat sideways, evenly matched.

"So the teddy bear has this weakness?"

Ash realized that while Bear's power was indeed exceptional, there were still many ways to counter it.

"King Squid, use hypnosis!!"

The male apprentice suddenly spoke up. He had received intelligence that it was best not to engage this strange little bear in close combat; ranged attacks were the optimal solution!

The Squid King narrowed its eyes, and the hypnotic light slowly spread out, gradually enveloping the Doll Bear.

"Jizzz"

Before long, the teddy bear sitting on the floor closed its eyes, tilted its head, and fell into a deep sleep.

“Just in time!!”

However, this scene delighted Xiao Zhi, and he immediately shouted:
"Then let's just use sleep talking!"

The system intelligently matched the result to "yes".

Seemingly having picked up the same habits as the tree-pillow bear from its hometown, the Doll Bear is also prone to dozing off, and is quite adept at using the sleep-talking trick.

In his sleep, the bear suddenly stood up and charged towards the squid king. This time, his whole body was covered with a layer of deep red flames, and the ground trembled violently as he charged.

Ground-type move, 100,000 horsepower!

The sudden surge of 100,000 horsepower caught both the purple-haired trainer and the Squid King off guard.

"King Squid, use a substitution technique!!"

The squid king raised its two tentacles, preparing to use the same trick again.

However, there is a limit to the power that can be borrowed through substitution.

The sleeping bear seemed to have gained a significant boost in strength. Its small body exuded the powerful momentum of a charging bull, and even the most skilled craftsmen could not completely withstand its power.

Clang!

Finally, 100,000 horsepower pushed aside the tentacles and then slammed heavily into the Squid King's chest. The brute force instantly sent the Squid King flying until it crashed into the edge of the wall before falling to the ground.

With just one move, he was already like a candle flickering in the wind, his figure disheveled.

When they looked again at the seemingly harmless toy bear in the center of the arena, this time neither the purple-haired apprentice nor the seriously injured Squid King were as nonchalant as they had been at the start of the match.

"Like Rowlet?"

Ash smiled. This was an unexpected surprise. Like Rowlet, Rowlet's strength actually increases when he's asleep.

"Then let's do it one more time, you sleep-talking!"

This time, the teddy bear emitted white steam from its entire body, and in its sleep, it unleashed a powerful, brute-force punch that instantly turned its opponent's face ashen! (End of Chapter)
