He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Looks like it really fits the essence of One-Hit Kill Style perfectly~"

Mastedt looked at the dazed bear doll with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

The real test of this battle wasn't defeating the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon, but rather whether they could find the evil scroll on the wall.

The profound secrets are already there; those who are compatible will naturally discover them.

Even if someone is not compatible with the Dragon, defeating the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon means they have failed the test and cannot receive the secret technique.

Of course, over the years, no one has been able to defeat his Kommo-o-Tai—

This is one of his main team members!
"Scales."

The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon let out a low growl and shook its fist in place.

Faced with the brute force and bond power of the bear, the child only felt a numbness in his fist and was not overwhelmed by its strength.

Both sides held their breath and fell silent, waiting quietly for the teddy bear.

Suddenly, a blackish-purple light shone around the latter, and the bear's body gradually swelled and grew in the light, from a size of less than one meter to a huge size of more than two meters.

"It's evolved!!"

Although he was prepared, Ash was still overjoyed.

Normal evolution is bathed in white light, but the Doll Bear was enveloped in a dark purple light, as if it had undergone some kind of evil, erroneous evolution.

"Is this the special effect of the Scroll of Evil?"

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but glance at the calligraphy scroll hanging on the wall; it didn't seem to be a simple calligraphy mural.

As the dark purple light dissipated completely, the two-meter-tall pink monster bear raised its arms and let out a deep, powerful, and sharp roar:

"lucky--!!!"

Ash instantly perked up. The voice was so familiar; it was exactly the same as the Urshifu from the Alola region!
"Has it completed its evolution? That's truly incredible!"

On the other side, Mastedt stroked his mustache and smiled wryly.

At this moment, the doll bear has officially evolved into a dressed bear, with a black body, a pink head and tail, and a cute white bow headdress on its forehead.

They may look cute, but the "forest bears" in different regions are all bullies, with the bear in a suit being the most dangerous!
"Successfully evolved!!"

Ash immediately pounced on him and gave the bear-wearing bear a big hug.

Its fluffy texture truly feels like holding a huge and sturdy plush toy.

"lucky--!"

The latter grinned, instinctively hugging Ash back and tightening his arms around him—

With that force, a tree trunk as thick as three people would have been snapped in half, but it was just right for Ash.

"lucky--!"

This makes the bear even more excited and joyful. Only humans who can withstand its tight restraints are qualified to become its trainers!
"So, has anything changed?"

Ash unfastened the bear costume and began to examine it from all angles.

If it evolves using the Dark Scroll, won't it turn into a Dark-type Bearpick?
The latter does indeed possess a kind of malevolent "scent," which he has sensed in both Marie and Galarian Moltres.

My own bear has "gone astray" and gone down the evil path. Surely the Alola bear god won't be angry?

He is now quite curious about the new powers that the bear-wearing character will gain after evolving.

The man and the bear worked in perfect unison, turning their heads at the same time to look in the direction of Masdeh.

For no apparent reason, both Mastedt and the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon shuddered.

"Uh, Ash, congratulations! You've completed your training at the Tower of Evil. But this battle..." "Gigi—!!"

Before he could finish speaking, the bear raised its arms and let out a sharp, long howl, then stared intently at the staff-tailed armored dragon.

After evolution, their personalities seem to have changed quite a bit as well.

When Tong Ou Xiong was around, he always had a lazy and indifferent personality, and didn't care about anything.

After evolving, their fighting spirit seems to suddenly become much stronger, and they are eager to fight, or rather, they want to destroy or break something.

"Scale Roar!!!"

Seeing this, Kommo-o naturally responded with a roar, not to be outdone. As a pseudo-legendary Pokémon of Alola, it would not allow any Pokémon from Alola to step on its head.

"In that case, let the battle continue. Ash, this time Kommo-o and I are going to get serious."

Mastedt's expression suddenly turned cold, adopting a battle-ready look.

"Morphinosaurus, use your scales to make noise!"

Previously, I only used fighting-type moves; there are still powerful dragon-type moves I haven't used yet.

The staff-tailed armored dragon understood, its body trembling, and its scales rubbing together made a piercing sound.

"Scale Roar—!!"

A rapid, dense scathing noise accompanied by a roar erupted, creating a blue-purple sonic boom!

The bear had already responded to the attack, raising its arms and spinning them rapidly. Black and red flames ignited at the ends of its fists, transforming them into black and red flame tops that charged out.

It's the signature move of the Blazing Roaring Tiger, DD Golden Hook Arm!
Ignoring the sonic boom, he made a fist and slammed it towards the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon!
"Use the dragon's tail!"

At the critical moment, the long, thin tail of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon was covered with a blue light and suddenly swung.

boom!
Like spinning a top, it forcibly deflected the attack direction of DD Hook Arm, a countermeasure that caught Ash's eye.

No wonder he's a veteran champion!

"Then comes the scale-shooting!"

Not only that, just as they created some distance, the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon shook its arms, and the scales that fell off flew out in unison, exploding on the Bear-wearing creature that had just finished its DD Golden Hook Arm attack.

The bear immediately clenched one fist, which was covered in a dark purple glow.

But soon, the eerie light dissipated, as if the move had failed.

"Still not using Martial Arts Master Bear's move?"

Ma Shide immediately recognized that the bear in front of him was undoubtedly an "outlier," likely possessing both fighting and evil attributes.

However, directly using the signature move of the One-Strike Style: Martial Arts Bear Master is still quite difficult.

"lucky--!!"

Wearing a shackle, Xiong was somewhat annoyed. This time, his right fist was filled with white light, accompanied by a muffled boom, like gunpowder about to explode, which was extremely oppressive.

Exploding punch!
Mastedt's eyes narrowed, and he immediately responded:
"Next, we'll repay you double!"

The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon stood firm on the spot, even inserting its tail into the ground for support, and spread its arms in front of its body.

Boom boom! !
Then, the Explosive Fist landed on its arm without any resistance. With a loud explosion, the terrifying force instantly slammed the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon back several meters, its back slamming heavily against the edge of the wall.

If the Tower of Evil hadn't been reinforced with "Ghost Sword Stone," the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon would probably have been thrown straight out of the tower by now.

Sizzle!
However, after barely withstanding the attack, the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon's body turned red and steam rose from it, its power reaching its peak as it returned the favor twofold! (End of Chapter)
