Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 50 Martial Arts Master Xiong

Under normal circumstances, a Bear disciple only needs to observe the scroll of evil for half a day, or at most a day, to grasp the true meaning of the fist technique and evolve into a Martial Arts Bear Master.

But this one took half a month to observe, and even the bear apprentice who was captured later only took half a day to observe the Water Hanging Scroll evolve into a Combo-style Martial Arts Bear Master.

A comparison of the performances of the two bear apprentices.

Not only the audience, but even the man in the suit suspected that Xiong's apprentice was a useless person who couldn't evolve.

Fortunately, the underground arena was well-funded, and the food provided to Xiong's apprentice was not reduced back to its original level.

If no new bear disciples had been brought in, the scroll of evil would probably have been moved out of the bear disciples' room long ago.

Faced with the domineering panda's question, the bear apprentice smiled and answered:

"Brother, being able to evolve only means they've learned the corresponding style of boxing. Just because I haven't evolved doesn't mean my boxing skills are bad."

"It's more important to understand the true meaning of the scroll of evil than to evolve."

That night, the man in the suit reappeared and took the scroll of evil from the bear apprentice's room.

It seems a new apprentice of the bear has been arrested.

"I thought you were a genius who could defeat Tyranitar, but it turns out you're a piece of trash who can't evolve. The audience no longer likes you."

"A new bear apprentice has arrived. You are no longer of any use. Tonight, participate in the Moltres Battle Royale and contribute your last bit of value to the arena."

In the battle royale, facing the Galarian Moltres, the bear apprentice lowered his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes; the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Evolution begins tonight!

To escape, besides the powerful Panda and other Fighting-type Pokémon he's befriended over the past two weeks, Galar Moltres, the strongest Pokémon in the underground arena, is the only option.

We must make use of it.

The domineering panda took a deep breath. "Brother, don't rush too far ahead later. Learn from me. As long as you hold out long enough, those humans will take the big bird back."

"Then we'll be able to come back alive and have breakfast tomorrow."

But Xiong's apprentice asked him, "Brother, if you had a chance to regain your freedom, would you choose to risk your life to try to leave, or stay?"

The domineering panda was getting anxious. "Brother, we're about to die. Can't we focus on surviving first, and then think about freedom?"

The bear apprentice smiled. "Brother, since I want freedom, I can naturally solve the problem of survival you mentioned. Although I don't have the ability to defeat the firebird."

"But I still have the skill to let Moltres escape, and I have a great deal of it!"

The domineering panda lowered its voice, "You want to use the big bird to escape? Can you get rid of this thing on our necks?"

The bear apprentice was full of confidence: "Once I evolve into a Martial Arts Bear Master, I can shatter the ring with my fists."

The domineering panda slammed his fist into the ground, "Since you can break the ring, brother, I'll risk my life to fight you!"

Xiong's apprentice nodded. "Then I'll ask you to tell everyone what happened. You have a lot of prestige, and everyone is willing to listen to you."

"good!"

After several warm-up battles, the thrilling Moltres battle royale finally arrived.

The Pokémon participating in this event are Kumamon, Pandaren, Lucario, Itachi, Forsaken, and Sirfetch'd.

There are also Tyranitar, Duraludon, Giganotosaurus, and Aggron on the other side.

Pokémon like Aerodactyl, Tyranitar, Hammerdragon, and Strider, which are resurrected from fossils, are quite rare, and getting a second one is much more difficult than getting the four mentioned above.

On ordinary days, they would get together and fight each other.

Now facing Galarian Moltres, these two teams are not united. If it weren't for Kuma's plan to evolve and break through today, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.

It feels like this Moltres Battle Royale is just a show where Pokémon fight each other for the audience to watch, and Moltres is just there for fun.

Before Moltres appeared, the host was given some time to warm up the audience.

As gladiators who fight beasts, they can also exchange ideas with each other.

The domineering panda, a veteran, stepped forward to take charge.

"The four of you and I are big enough that we definitely can't outrun a big bird that can fly. If we want to survive, the five of us have to take turns holding it up."

Bangilas snorted. "So those five little guys just got a freebie?"

The domineering panda chuckled. "They'll distract the big bird first, and we'll buy them a chance to catch their breath."

"You don't actually think the five of us can withstand the giant bird's attack, do you? They're the key to our survival."

We definitely can't win in a fight; we can only rely on provocation and tug-of-war to drag it out until the battle royale ends.

"Now we'll split into two groups: one will be responsible for provoking, and the other for holding their own."

The domineering panda originally wanted to put his apprentice in his group, but the apprentice said:

"I'm in a group with Benjiras."

Bangilas snorted again. "Since you think highly of me and are willing to be in my group, I'll definitely buy you enough time!"

Having been defeated twice by the bear apprentice, Tyranitar was naturally willing to team up with him.

Because of these two failures, Bangiras became a casualty of Battle Royale.

The bear apprentice asked Tyranitar, "How long can you maintain a sandstorm while enduring electric shocks?"

Bangilas's face stiffened. "What do you want?"

"I need you to use a sandstorm to buy me some time."

Bangiras thought for a moment, "As long as I don't unleash a sandstorm that covers the entire area, but only shields a small section, they shouldn't use electric shocks for long."

"How long will it take you?"

The bear apprentice looked at Bangiras. "One minute!"

Bangilas grinned. "Just one minute. I'll endure the electric shocks for you."

The domineering panda waved his hand, "Master Weasel and I will go first to set an example for you. You, Bear Disciple, will go last. Observe how we do it."

The Galarian Moltres was released from its cage by the staff.

The cage looked familiar; it consisted of several intersecting rotating rings.

It's practically the same cage used by the collector who captured the Three Bird Gods of Asia Island in the movie.

The cages opened up into concentric rings, and the Galarian Moltres descended the mountain like a tiger.

He only gets one chance a month, so he'd better make good use of the ten Pokémon on the field to vent his frustration.

Master Itachi fired a wave missile at Moltres first, which exploded in front of Moltres.

It even arrogantly waved at Moltres, which released air blades and swooped down towards its master, Itachi.

Master Itachi turned and ran, while Lucario on the other side, just as Moltres was about to catch up with Master Itachi, also released a wave missile.

Moltres twisted its body to avoid him, glanced at Lucario, and did not chase after him.

The domineering panda pounced on it, only to be swatted away by the firebird's wing and rolled a long way on the ground.

His flight made Xiong's apprentice's lips twitch.

That fake fall was a bit too much.

Moltres was delighted and decided to play with its master Itachi again.

It opened its mouth and spewed out a wave of evil energy, watching its master Itachi dodge and weave in a sorry state, before letting out a nasty howl.

That sound was even more unpleasant than the call of the big-billed finch.

"Bangilas, now's the time!"

Bangiras nodded and unleashed a thick sandstorm to bury his bear apprentice.

When Xiong's apprentice pulled on the ponytail at the back of his head, a strong white light appeared on his body.

The bear apprentice grew taller and stronger, gradually transforming into a majestic and powerful martial arts bear master!

Upon completing its evolution, the Martial Arts Bear Master immediately struck the same spot on the ring around its neck with a rock-crushing attack.

The timing was almost right; Martial Arts Master Xiong's right fist condensed a thick layer of black light.

Dark Nether Strike!

Martial Arts Master Xiong reached out and pulled hard, tearing the ring to shreds!

I stretched my neck a couple of times and felt the long-lost sense of freedom.
