Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

[Summoning is starting, please wait....]

Suddenly, the wind blew up, and the gold-stamped bill in Jiang Cheng's hand shook in the wind, broke free from Jiang Cheng's hand, and flew away to an unknown place. At the same time, in the depths of Jiang Cheng's consciousness, a huge lottery capsule machine appeared.

The ticket that had disappeared before floated past the gashapon machine. The machine trembled, and the knob on the side began to turn. The large number of gashapon inside kept jumping, making it impossible to see the contents clearly.

After a burst of exciting music, the capsule machine finally stopped slowly and a burst of colorful light flashed out.

[Congratulations! According to the directional summon, you have obtained the elf: Bear Apprentice! ]

Apprentice bear?

Not Hao Li?

Jiang Cheng frowned, but quickly remembered the information about the elf.

Bear Apprentice is a DLC Pokémon from the Galar region. Some people may not be familiar with Bear Apprentice, but its evolved form is notorious on the battlefield. It is the number one in the universe, and is one of the four great martial arts masters, along with Tapu the Gorilla, Cheese the Snow Leopard, and the Martial Arts Bear Master.

Relying on its characteristic Invisible Fist, when using contact moves, it can ignore the opponent's defensive moves except for the Maximum Defense Wall, and has the ability to cause damage normally. In addition, whether it is a one-hit flow of Dark Power Strike or a combo flow of Water Stream, it can definitely hit the vital points. It can be said to be both super and awesome.

If Cang Xiang is a numerical monster, then Wudao Xiongshi is a pure mechanism monster.

Jiang Cheng never expected that he just wanted to draw a Pokémon with super strength, but now he drew such a Pokémon?

And if he remembered correctly, Martial Arts Bear Master seemed... probably... could... perhaps... a divine beast?

Here, it’s Errachi, it’s Milton, and now there’s a martial arts bear master…

Haha, this really proves that he is a beast man.

No, my brother went from a despicable ghost-type trainer to a shameless legendary beast man, isn't there a positive word to describe him?

You guys...you guys really made me suffer!!

"Bea ...

Just as Jiang Cheng was daydreaming, a Pokémon with firm eyes, downward-turned mouth corners, gray hair all over its body, white patterns on its forehead and chest, and white hair hanging down the back of its head, like a stuffed bear wearing a white headscarf, appeared in front of Jiang Cheng.

Chapter 199: The Bear Apprentice Dedicated to Progress

Jiang Cheng half squatted down and looked at his bear disciple in front of him.

He felt that he might have made a mistake.

First of all, I don't mean to say anything bad about Bear Apprentice. Bear Apprentice is a very good elf, and it is even more powerful when it grows up. Its two forms can bring endless surprises to people, and its fighting spirit and patience are amazing.......

But, is it possible, I mean possible, perhaps, possibly, probably...I should find a bath scrubber?

But this little guy in front of me is only 0.6m tall, covered with fur, and looks like a small teddy toy. Can this little guy really be capable of doing this job?

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being small, and small ones are cute, but what we are asking is whether it is possible, that is... ah.

Jiang Cheng felt a little overwhelmed.

This little guy looks a little too harmless and doesn't have the temperament of a bath attendant.

Looks like I still need to find a monster...

Although Disciple Bear has a promising future, he cannot be used as an immediate combat force.

Although he thought so, Jiang Cheng did not show any disappointment on his face. He half-knelt down and looked at his disciple Xiong.

"Hello, Apprentice Bear, welcome to our home."

Apprentice Xiong opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang Cheng in front of him: "Well?"

Are you my new master?

"Master?" Jiang Cheng shrank his neck and looked around. He felt that the situation was not good. The elf he had drawn out seemed to have some personality traits that he didn't know about.

"Oh! Oh!"

Yes, Master! Please guide my practice!

Apprentice Xiong's eyes were as if he had seen Secretary Gao's Director Qi, full of desire for progress.

Jiang Cheng decided to find out the story of this little guy first and then provide targeted guidance.

"What kind of practice is Disciple Xiong doing?" Jiang Cheng started by asking the question that the child was most concerned about.

"Pei! Pei, Pei!" Practice to become stronger! To become stronger, learn more powerful boxing techniques and become more powerful!

As Apprentice Xiong answered, he demonstrated boxing and kicking postures, and Jiang Cheng nodded slightly as he spoke with his hands and mouth.

It is understandable. After all, according to the official description, the bear apprentice is working hard to become a martial arts bear master. He is a truly hardworking spirit who is rewarded by heaven.

It is indeed rare to find a little guy who is so goal-oriented from an early age.

Jiang Cheng didn't ask the little guy why he chose to become stronger. This conversation has a strong Japanese anime flavor. For the bear apprentice, if he wants to become stronger, he just wants to become stronger. Why does he need any reason?

"Has Apprentice Xiong ever learned boxing from other people before? As your master, if I want to teach you, I must first understand what you can and cannot do, so that I can teach you according to your aptitude, right?"

Jiang Cheng patiently began to find out the background of his disciple Xiong.

"Okay!" Apprentice Xiong nodded affirmatively. What the master said made so much sense!

"So what kind of boxing techniques did you learn?"

This little guy has worshipped many masters. But how could he worship so many masters and not be left in the dojo?

It's a bit strange.

The Pokémon world is very interesting. Gyms and dojos are the two major training institutions for humans. If you have a unique understanding of Pokémon battles and have your own areas of expertise, after passing the league's assessment, you can open a gym and spread your training experience, combat skills, and combat concepts. This is a gym.

The dojo is a place for learning human fighting techniques. Everyone inside has unique skills. Given the physical fitness of the treasure people, those who run the dojo must be at least strong enough to lift a tripod, if not be able to break stones.

The dojo master mainly conducts one-on-one teaching, not only teaching people but also teaching elves. Many dojo masters' own elves have mastered a unique skill, and the elves of these dojo masters are mostly fighting-type.

A dojo doesn't need inheritance, but a temple does need inheritance.

These dojo masters have a very deep obsession with passing on their skills. Apart from striving for excellence in their own skills and seeking the limits of martial arts, this is probably the only thing they care about.

And how could Apprentice Xiong be released after he had worshipped several masters and learned several types of boxing?

Is it that these gyms don’t understand Pokémon like Bear Apprentice?

Or is it that although Disciple Xiong has learned these boxing techniques, his level is mediocre, and these dojo masters regard him as an ordinary disciple who comes here to join in the fun, and allow him to come and go freely?

If you don't understand, just ask directly. Facing a simple little creature like Pokémon, Jiang Cheng would not beat around the bush. He directly asked his apprentice Bear: "Why did Apprentice Bear leave his previous master?"

After hearing Jiang Cheng's question, Disciple Xiong hesitated for a moment, as if his language system was challenged by the question he wanted to answer.

"Ah...bei! Bei! Ahbei!"

Before...learn! Compete with the master! Win.....I want to learn, but the master won't teach....

Apprentice Xiong stumbled as he recounted his previous experiences, and Jiang Cheng slowly learned the little guy's previous story from Apprentice Xiong's clumsy explanation, word by word.

The bear apprentice is a little bear who longs to become stronger. He wants to become powerful and eventually become as strong as the martial arts bear master, but he can't find a way.

By chance, the bear apprentice learned that he could become stronger by learning human boxing techniques, so he excitedly went to find a gym near humans.

It is very dangerous for a wild Pokémon to go to a human gathering place, because there are countless trainers eyeing the wild Pokémon. If you are not careful, you may be stopped by a guy who suddenly appears in the bushes and forced into a Pokémon battle. If you fail, you will be caught in the opponent's ball.

But the bear apprentice relied on his own perseverance and intelligence to avoid those fanatical trainers, found a gym, and went in excitedly to explain his purpose.

Then he was kicked out.

Apprentice Bear didn't know why, but Jiang Cheng knew, because the gym had to charge money for teaching students, but Apprentice Bear was a Pokémon and had no money.

The bear apprentice had no choice but to hide outside and secretly watch the masters of the gym teach their apprentices, while he himself practiced secretly not far away. In his understanding, the reason why he was not accepted was because he was too weak. As long as he learned the boxing and became strong successfully, the master would definitely accept him as a disciple.

After a while, the bear apprentice, who felt that he had mastered the skills, went to find the master in the dojo, and performed a set of boxing techniques fluently. He wanted to get the master's praise and learn boxing with the master. However, he did not expect to be greeted with the master's furious anger.

After defeating his master, the bear apprentice, feeling that he had caused trouble, embarked on a journey to find his next master.

This cycle has been repeated for seven times.

After listening to Apprentice Xiong's story, Jiang Cheng's expression was a little...subtle.

This little guy's behavior is really...a bit difficult to comment on.

It is said that Pokémon have simple minds, so they are all little angels. This is indeed true. Pokémon's minds are much simpler than those of human cubs, and they are indeed little angels. But it does not mean that they will not make mistakes.

After all, there is a tragically thick barrier between Pokémon and humans. Since the two sides are of different races, they naturally cannot communicate with each other. Without communication, they naturally cannot know what they can and cannot do.

Just like the bear apprentice, the bear apprentice wants to become stronger, so he will try every means to learn boxing. After learning it, he also wants to show it to the master, so that the master can accept him as his apprentice and continue to learn and become stronger. It is a very simple and plain idea, but for the master, it is another matter. Stealing skills is a very serious matter for fighters working in the dojo. In the eyes of the dojo master, stealing skills is an absolute provocation, and the master can completely take back what he has learned from you (referring to breaking your limbs).

The key point is that the little guy still doesn't understand why the master is angry, and can only defend himself after being attacked. He is indeed very talented, and was knocked down by the master directly, and then ran away because of fear.

Don't underestimate the masters in the Pokémon world. They are not like Mr. Ma who can only spit out pine cones and shake lightning whips. These people have real kung fu, but they were still defeated by the bear apprentice using his own boxing skills.

In this way, the scene became that after the bear apprentice stole the master's skills, he mocked the master in front of him, beat him up and walked away. It was so bad that it couldn't be worse.

It even selected seven dojo in this way, which is not as abstract as Jinshan search.

If it is allowed to continue like this, it will inevitably encounter the Ip Man in its destiny. At that time, the scene may not be so good.

Maybe the six major sects will even besiege Guangmingding.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that I summoned it.

But do you think this child has any malicious intent? No, it is just a misunderstanding caused by lack of communication. It doesn't even know what it did wrong. How should it be punished?

Now that the child was in his hands, Jiang Cheng felt that he had an obligation to put the child back on the right track.

Everyone should be responsible for their own actions, and the same goes for children. Even if it is an unintentional mistake, the harm caused to the person involved will not matter whether you did it intentionally or not. If it is wrong, it is wrong. It is not like you can get into a strange world tree that suddenly appears from nowhere and erase your existence, and then run off to be a hero.

It's not terrible to do wrong things. Everyone does a lot of stupid things when they are young. The key is whether you have the courage to correct them and be responsible for everything you have done.

Whether the result is good or bad.

But first, I must make this little guy listen to what I say.

Jiang Cheng decided to start with the other party's interests.

"So, now you come to me and want to learn from me how to become stronger?"

"Okay!" Apprentice Xiong nodded with a determined look, then he took out his boxing stance, wanting to show Jiang Cheng the boxing skills he had learned.

It turns out that Jiang Cheng actually knows a little bit about boxing. When he was in college, his instructor asked him to exercise more. After all, in their line of work, they have many opportunities to go out on field trips, so a good body is essential. Having watched a lot of kung fu movies at the time, he was suffering from a middle school syndrome, so naturally he went to learn boxing. It's no wonder that he was in good health afterwards, and he still had thick hair when he was in his thirties and forties.

But Jiang Cheng does not plan to teach boxing now. Before he learned boxing from the master, the master said something that left a deep impression on him.

Before practicing boxing, you should first learn to be a good person. If your mind is crooked, the teachings of your ancestors will become distorted in you.

So Jiang Cheng prepared something to scare the kid first.

"Disciple Xiong, you have never learned boxing systematically from the master before, right?" Although Jiang Cheng used a question, his tone was affirmative.

"Yeah." The bear apprentice nodded. Not being able to formally become a disciple has always been a pain in his heart. When he heard Jiang Cheng's words, he immediately became sad.

"Well, so, Apprentice Xiong is missing a lot of key steps in learning boxing. Since you call me Master, I will help you make up for it."

When apprentice Xiong heard Jiang Cheng's words, tears flashed in his eyes. This is the seventh time, the seventh time! He had been rejected seven times, and finally someone was willing to accept him as an apprentice and teach him!

"Bai! Bei!!" Master, please guide me!

I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master... If you don't abandon me...

"Well, my dear disciple, we haven't officially become my disciples yet. I will teach you the procedures for becoming my disciple later. After you learn it, we will perform the ceremony of becoming my disciple."

"Okay!" Apprentice Xiong nodded. It was the first time he heard of such a thing as a gift for becoming a disciple. It had never happened before.

Jiang Cheng naturally didn't want to act like a traditional martial arts master or insist on carrying on this tradition, but the master of the dojo attached great importance to this.

Apprentice Xiong had stolen Jiang Cheng's boxing skills before. In addition to apologizing, Jiang Cheng also wanted Apprentice Xiong to pay the apprenticeship gift, which was also a way for him to save face. When the time came, it would become a good story when others told it.

"I won't teach you new boxing techniques." Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Apprentice Xiong showed a frustrated look on his face, but Jiang Cheng quickly changed the subject.

"Learning boxing does not mean the more you learn, the better. Disciple Xiong has already learned seven kinds of boxing. These seven kinds of boxing are messy and incompatible with each other. It is better to bite off more than you can chew. Since you want to become stronger, what I want to teach you is how to turn these seven kinds of boxing into your own."

“Bei!!!” It sounds so awesome!!!

Listening to your words, I felt like the clouds were clearing away and the sun was shining, and my eyes were suddenly opened!

"So, for your situation, the first lesson I'm going to teach you is how to become water."

"Be?" Water?

Apprentice Xiong tilted his head, seemingly not quite understanding what Jiang Cheng said.
