Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

But this couldn't go on forever. Finally, when Ash was about to turn his evil hand on his most beloved Bug Catcher, the old man bravely stepped forward.

"Grandpa, my name is Xiaozhi."

"Battles are about mutual consent. I didn't force them, so why are you making me sound like a bad guy?"

"You're not a bad person, but you're a big demon king," Jinbe thought to himself.

"Young Ash, your Pokémon are all very powerful, especially that Pikachu. I can see its extraordinary nature just from its eyes."

“But the young people here are mostly kids who haven’t traveled before, and most of them haven’t even earned a badge. How could they be your match?”

"Encountering an invincible opponent too early would be a devastating blow to their young minds. I don't want Lilycove City to never produce any more outstanding trainers in the future."

This old man seems quite extraordinary; he was able to see through Pikachu's disguise as a cute creature and discover its true strength at a glance.

This is the first old man Xiaozhi has seen since he came here; it seems to be him.

"Grandpa, are you the master of special moves?"

"Oh, you actually know me? That's right, I'm Jinbe, the old man known as the master of special techniques!"

The simply dressed old man tapped his cane, revealing an imposing expression.

"Jinbe? Grandpa, have you ever been one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Jinbe scratched his head in confusion.

Why do young people these days always talk in such a confusing way? I've never even heard of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Back when I was a Pokémon instructor in the League, my status was no less than that of the Elite Four."

He retired from the game after the learning machine for moves was invented a few years ago.

His teaching skills remained superb, but he eventually realized that learning machines were the future trend of the alliance.

Although the production cost of learning machines remains high, and the more powerful the move, the rarer the materials required, only a few trainers can afford them.

However, the ability to instantly learn moves with just one use is so amazing that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

People have been dedicating themselves to research on reducing the cost of learning machines, and hopefully we will hear new information in the near future.

Even so, Jinbe still believes that only by mastering a technique step by step can one understand its essence and unleash its full potential.

This was his last act of defiance as a remnant of the previous era.

"Young Zhi, since you know me, could you please do me a favor and stop bullying the young people here?"

"I already said it wasn't bullying, it was just a normal battle."

Don't always portray Ash as a bad guy; muscular men are all very kind-hearted.

"But since Grandpa Jinbe has said so, it's not impossible for me to stop." Ash then revealed his sinister face.

"As long as you agree to teach my Pokémon a new move!"

Ash could actually teach many Fighting-type moves, but he prefers an experiential approach.

Every time he teaches a Pokémon a move, he makes sure the Pokémon experiences the power of the move firsthand.

The learning process will be quite long, and there may be some things that Xiaozhi might miss.

Therefore, having someone as professional as Jinbe teach is obviously more reassuring.

"Hahaha, so you want to learn some moves." Jinbe's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Of course, no problem. It seems that the reason you're staying here is to lure me out. Just tell me what you want your Pokémon to learn."

"This old man can teach Pokémon to use any move, no matter how special!"

"He wasn't lying!" Ash exclaimed, startled as he withdrew his aura.

It can use any move; it's practically an all-powerful human learning machine!

Ash believes that Jinbe's status in the League back then was no lower than that of the Elite Four.

He immediately and happily took out a long strip of paper, which was filled with the moves he wanted the other party to teach his Pokémon.

But this terrified Jinbe.

"My goodness, kid, this note must be 3 meters long! Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion?"

"I can only teach your Pokémon one move at most."

An old person's life matters too!

"Ah, teaching only one move is far too little; you should teach four moves."

"...Two moves."

"Four moves!"

"I said I could only use two moves."

"Three moves, really, that's the most we can do."

"Two moves!"

Jinbe frowned deeply, determined not to give an inch, and Ash was also determined.

"Three moves!"

"Two moves!"

"Three moves!!"

"Two moves!!"

"Two moves, that's my lowest offer!"

"Three moves. There's no room for negotiation. I said three moves, and that's it!"

"Suit yourself, then I'll listen to your three moves."

"Hmph, that's more like it, young man... Hey, wait a minute!"

Unfortunately, Ash didn't give him any more chances to explain.

They immediately grabbed Jinbe with Pikachu and Hyperactive Speech, ready to find a good place to thoroughly train Jinbe in special moves.

"Grandpa Jinbe, you just agreed very loudly (drawing out the sound), so I believe you wouldn't do something to deceive a young person!"

Ash smiled "kindly" at Jinbe.

Actually, he never intended to have Jinbe teach him all the moves on that piece of paper; he just used it to scare Jinbe.

After all, Ash wouldn't stay in Lilycove City for very long anyway, so it's already enough for Pokémon to learn three new moves here.

Ash has already decided to let his Apexisk, which currently only knows 3 attack moves, use this spot.

Seeing Ash and the others like this, Jinbe had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

"This is all for the sake of those lovely children in the park! Those despicable outsiders, they're so mean!"

However, since he had promised to teach, Jinbe would not go back on his word.

He immediately led Ash and the others back to his training ground.

As expected of Jinbe, a former master of special techniques in the league, the training ground was filled with a dazzling array of facilities, looking very professional.

"So, young man, what moves would you like me to teach your hyperactive ape?"

"Grandpa Jinbe, my Hyperactive Sapoo wants to defeat a very, very, very powerful Normal-type Pokémon, so I'd like to ask for your advice before learning a new move."

Now that they've arrived at the training ground, Ash and his Pokémon have become students, and their attitude towards Jinbe has naturally become more respectful.

Jinbe immediately rediscovered the feeling he had when he was an instructor and began to think seriously.

"I need to use Ape to defeat a very strong Normal-type Pokémon..."

He pondered for a while before slowly speaking.

"Ash, is that Pokémon heavy?"

"It's very heavy!"

The Toilet King, with its mountain-like size, must be incredibly heavy.

"Then let the hyperactive ape learn to kick first."

Jinbe offered his advice based on his extensive experience, and after some thought, Ash agreed, nodding in approval.

"The other two moves are bodybuilding and absorption punch."

Kick is a targeted move that becomes more powerful the heavier the opponent's Pokémon.

Bodybuilding provides enhancements to both attack and defense, while the Lifesteal Punch restores half of the damage dealt to the user's health...

These moves are perfect for dealing with Regigigas, who is top-heavy and whose attack speed is halved for a long time after waking up.

"This is a great combination no matter how you look at it, so let's get started practicing, Jinbe-sensei!"

"You're a very energetic young man, not bad. I'm starting to admire you."

"Then let's start learning to kick down by doing 1000 low-stance kicks!"

Jinbe brought over a huge iron stake, tied a ring of sandbags around it, and then pushed the hyperactive monkey in front of it.

The hyperactive ape, which had been full of fighting spirit and had started warming up, was startled and quickly turned to look at its trainer, Ash, beside it.

"Yaru Ke?" (Is 1000 repetitions too many?)

"Yaru, yaruke!" (This old man is suspicious; he's definitely looking for an opportunity to get revenge on us!)

"Grandpa Jinbe, how can you do this? You're just joking!"

"Yes!"

The hyperactive ape nodded along with Ash, which was practically abusing a Pokémon, and he was severely reprimanded!

What the big white monkey didn't expect was that what Ash said next was even more terrifying.

"1000 isn't enough, you need at least 5000!"

"What?!"

At this point, old man Jinbe also lost his temper.

"Ha, such a big mouth, young man. Alright then, 1 strokes!"
