He knows Pokémon better than me.

Ice Jet is a technique used when traveling in the Sinnoh region.

The blue-haired apprentice had never seen such a counterattack before, and his expression clearly panicked. He quickly shouted:

"Quickly, use a sniper rifle to block it!"

The Thousand-Faced Beast quickly raised its index finger and fired a water gun—

However, sniping involves compressing the diameter of the water flow and concentrating fire in a single burst, which is insufficient to destroy the falling ice spikes in such a scenario.

Hua Hua Hua——!
The jet of icy water was unstoppable, breaking through the sniper's attack and finally slamming into the chest of the Thousand-Faced Assassin.

In an instant, ice shards exploded, and icy mist rose from one end of the arena. The Thousand-Faced Avoid was sent flying by the heavy blow and crashed heavily into the wall.

Although it is the final evolution of the starter Pokémon, it is actually quite fragile, even more so than Cinderace.

"Thousand-Faced Escape Artist!"

The blue-haired apprentice exclaimed in surprise and rushed over. He brushed aside the surrounding ice shards and found that the Thousand-Faced Avoid had already fainted and could only make faint breathing sounds.

The outcome is decided!

"Success!"

Seeing this, Ash was overjoyed; Ice Jet would never lose its value!

However, this move is not without its flaws.

"Bear"

Upon landing, the bear apprentice gasped for breath, transforming himself into a more aggressive ice sculpture, which meant he would also suffer frostbite, and his stamina would be depleted.

If we don't do this, we might not be able to defeat this Thousand-Faced Beast.

Seeing that the blue-haired apprentice had cleared the stairwell, Ash didn't rush up. Instead, he took out a Berry and restored his bear apprentice to full health.

That's Master Ma!
Considering that the opponent at the top of the Tower of Evil was the Triple Quasi-God, the current opponent above is definitely not easy to deal with, we must ensure that the bear apprentice is in the best condition before climbing the tower!

As they approached the top of the tower, the previously restless apprentice seemed to sense something and became even more composed.

It closed its eyes to meditate and calm its mind.

He didn't open his eyes again until ten minutes later, looked at Xiaozhi, and nodded solemnly:

"Bear drink!"

Ash smiled and the two of them, one human and one bear, officially walked up the stairs.

Behind them, Mary, along with the blue-haired apprentice from before, followed curiously.

There was no rule in Twin Fist Tower that "guardians are forbidden from watching the next level." She wanted to see how this bear apprentice would face Master Ma!
Upon reaching the top of the tower, just like the top of the Tower of Evil, large red lanterns hang on both sides, and an open scroll hangs on the inner wall.

Above are incomprehensible calligraphy and patterns of rolling waves—

A hanging scroll of water!

Ash quickly and discreetly averted his gaze; the secret of the Water Scroll had to be discovered by his apprentice, Kubora.

Beneath the scroll, Master Ma stroked his beard, sizing up the group.

Hearing the sounds of the battle below, he naturally put away his game console and got up early to wait for Ash and Kuma to come up.

"They've finally arrived, Ash, and Kuma too."

Judging from their expressions, both the man and the bear were ready to pounce.

So Ma Shide didn't say anything more and went straight to one end of the field. He didn't say anything to the two people watching nearby.

Boom!

It was the familiar fist clenching and clothes bursting open again. Master Ma's whole body was filled with surging energy, and his green jacket exploded open, revealing the yellow and black martial arts uniform underneath.

This scene left Mary completely stunned. Was this also the secret of the martial arts school?
Seeing that his apprentice Xiong was in position, Master Ma tossed out a high-level ball. Bang!
As the red light fell, the final boss of the tower was the Fighting Pokémon from the Unova region, Master Itachi!
"really."

Behind her, Mary showed an expression of expectation. She had investigated Master Ma's team. Apart from the two martial arts bear masters, there was her master Itachi and the Kommo-o.

Similarly, these two Pokémon have completely different fighting styles; one is a fierce fighting dragon, while the other is clearly more adept at using softness to overcome hardness.

"Then, apprentice bear, launch a full-scale attack!"

Master Ma beckoned to the two of them, making it impossible for him to be a retired old man who loves playing video games:

"Let the old man see what progress you've made since leaving the Isle of Armor!"

Master Itachi also shook his sleeves, his level was obviously extremely high, and taking the initiative to attack would be a bit like bullying the weak.

"Disciple Xiong, use Swift Enhancement Fist!!"

He immediately used his masterful moves, and even the well-informed Master Ma knew nothing about the Cui Black Technology.

What can be seen is that as the bear apprentice rushed over, his movements suddenly quickened.

Surprisingly, the Swift Style is a perfect fit for "Power-Up Punch"—

While the move's power is reduced rapidly, the Enhance Punch is more about hitting the target multiple times to increase its physical attack power, rather than focusing on the move's power.

"And this too!"

Ash raised his hand behind him and added another Bond Power.

This Master Weasel is also part of Master Ma's main lineup, right? All those multiple buffs should be applied first!
The bear apprentice's speed surged twice, startling even the composed master weasel. This time, it dared not be careless and quickly calmed down.

"see through!"

Master Itachi's eyes glowed green, and his supple body dodged the enhanced punch by sidestepping. Facing his disciple Kuma's swift second punch, he still managed to dodge with a double-hit combo.

"Then comes the exertion!"

Master Itachi's hand was hidden under his sleeve, and at a tricky angle, his palm struck his disciple Xiong's chest with lightning.

"see through!"

This time, however, it was the bear disciple's eyes that flashed green, and he narrowly avoided his master Itachi's powerful strike.

Both Pokémon simultaneously took several steps back, creating distance between themselves and facing off.

"That's really something!"

After just two rounds, Ma Shide's expression was one of amazement.

His agility was surprisingly not much worse than that of his master, Itachi, who was his main force!

Even if this bear apprentice in front of us seems to have received some of Ash's psychic boost, it's still ridiculous enough.

At least, his martial arts bear master, which evolved into a combo-style fighter, didn't possess such power when it was still a bear apprentice.

What will happen after the opponent evolves?!
Ash has another Pokémon this overpowered, besides the Bewear from the other day?!

"Master Itachi, use the True Qi Bullet!"

Master Ma chose to take the initiative and attack, and Master Itachi immediately conjured an orange energy ball and threw it out.

The bear apprentice immediately stood firm on the spot, and with a wave of his hands, he created ripples in the water, abruptly changing the direction of the rapidly approaching energy blast and deflecting it to the side.

"That weird move again!"

Ma Shide frowned. He thought to himself that when he got back, he would ask Ash for some pointers on the secrets of this martial art. It seemed to suit some of his Pokémon quite well.

However, while the battle was still raging, Master Itachi stepped forward, seemingly concealing an attacking fist beneath the sway of his sleeves.

In reality, his knees were already bent, accumulating enough power, his target aimed directly at the bear's apprentice's jaw!
Flying knee kick!! (End of chapter)
