Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Xiao Zhi sat cross-legged on the grass, holding up a finger to the bear cub with a serious expression.

"There is no shortcut to mastering martial arts; only through diligent study and practice can one achieve success..."

"Eek!"

The little bear sat opposite, its round eyes wide open, nodding occasionally as if listening attentively.

But Pikachu, standing to the side, shook its head.

Just listen?

What's the use of just listening?

How can you learn well without taking notes!

As Ash's chief mouse, Pikachu feels it has a responsibility to fulfill its duties as the chief.

It looked around, found the mouse-specific compartment in Ash's backpack, then took out a notebook and a pen, and solemnly stuffed them into the bear cub's arms.

"Pikachu".

Take it.

This is a little gift from your little mouse.

Use it well and remember what Ash said.

I'm rooting for you, little mouse!

Baby Bear: "?"

Taking notes?

The bear cub looked down at the notebook in its left paw, then at the pen in its right paw.

The bear was stunned, its round little face filled with confusion.

But...but it can't write!

"Pikachu?"

Pikachu leaned back dramatically.

You can't even write a single character?

Are there still people who can't read these days?

It patted the bear cub's shoulder with its little paw, giving it a sympathetic look.

Then you'll have a lot of lessons to catch up on...

Baby Bear: "!!!"

It was holding a notebook and a pen, and the whole bear was frozen in place.

So practicing martial arts is such a difficult thing!

They even require you to first learn the prerequisite skill of "reading and writing"!

When it encounters Ash, it's practically training blindly!

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi waved his hand and said.

"Alright, alright, take your time with the writing, there's no rush."

He straightened his expression, placed his hands on his knees, and looked intently at the baby bear.

"By the way, little bear, is there any particular move you'd like to learn?"

"What do you mean?"

The little bear scratched its head and blinked twice.

It really didn't have any ideas.

In the hunting grounds, people don't really need to fight, so I haven't really thought about this issue.

They noticed the bear cub's confusion.

“Well then,” Ash paused, his tone becoming serious, “if you really don’t know, I have a few skills here, you can choose one yourself…”

Upon hearing this, the little bear immediately raised its head, its eyes regaining their light.

"Eek!"

"The first method is the way to dissipate energy."

Ash pointed to the kind-looking abandoned monkey beside him.

"Take a look at it."

The abandoned monkey was resting with its eyes closed when it noticed the gaze. It slightly opened its eyes and nodded at the bear cub.

Baby Bear: "!"

Such demeanor undoubtedly befits a master.

This method of dissipating energy must be no ordinary thing!

"You can try it. No matter how fierce your attack is, the force will be completely neutralized in an instant."

"When this technique is mastered, one can even use the opponent's force against them!"

"Using four ounces to move a thousand pounds, using softness to overcome hardness, this is the essence!"

The bear cub's eyes lit up.

The little paws clapped excitedly, but then hesitated, tilting its head and asking.

"What do you mean?"

How long will it take to learn this?

Xiao Zhi thought for a moment and then spoke honestly.

"Well..."

"If you have talent, you can get the hang of it in three to five years and barely get started."

"To truly master and integrate this knowledge, it would likely require decades of dedicated study..."

As for the Abandoned Monkey, it is one that is exceptionally gifted and trains diligently day and night, so it is not included in this category.

Upon hearing this, the little bear's face immediately fell.

It takes three to five years to get started, and decades to master it?

It counted on its fingers with its paws and then decisively shook its head.

"Eek!"

I won't learn! I won't learn!

By the time you finish learning it, its best-before date will have passed!

It's only two and a half years old!

Xiao Zhi nodded.

"Yes, it is a bit long for you."

He stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly clapped his hands.

"Then... shall I teach you how to play around?"

"This move is agile and unpredictable, full of feints and real attacks, and is best at disrupting the opponent's rhythm."

"It has a wide range of impact and is not weak. It shows the enemy weakness and takes the initiative. It uses skill to defeat clumsiness. It is a first-class skill."

"How about it?"

The little bear blinked, thought about it seriously, and a conflicted expression appeared on its little face.

Then it shook its head, waving its little paws rapidly.

"Ee-myself! Ee-myself!"

She twists and turns, appearing overly weak.

They even had to feign weakness to the enemy.

This is hardly the behavior of a man.

I won't learn! I won't learn!

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi was not discouraged and pondered for a moment.

"If that's the case, then I have another move called Self-Sacrifice Charge."

"This tactic emphasizes going all out and burning your bridges!"

"Putting all of his weight and momentum into this one impact, the momentum is overwhelming and the power is astonishing!"

"As long as you seize the right opportunity and deliver the decisive blow, no matter how capable the opponent is, they won't have time to unleash their power—"

As the little bear listened, its gaze unconsciously drifted to the side.

Fatty was lying sprawled out in the sun, sunbathing his belly, fast asleep, with a glistening drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.

If it remembers correctly, the boss seems to be good at this trick.

The image of Jigglypuff crashing into something and then rolling away far away flashed through the bear cub's mind.

Even someone as talented and old as the eldest can only master it to that extent...

Wouldn't a less stable junior like it be even less suitable?

The little bear's face fell, its two little paws wiggled repeatedly, and its head shook like a rattle drum.

"Eek!"

This is a bad move.

I won't learn! I won't learn!

Looking at the determined little bear cub's expression, Xiao Zhi shook his head helplessly.

"You won't learn this, you won't learn that..."
