Chapter 17 — Bear Disciple: I am Might Bear, pleased to meet you!

The Armored Fighter drew his water blade and swung it at Bear Disciple.

However, just as the attack was about to hit, Bear Disciple suddenly vanished from the spot, causing the giant bug to change expression.

Disappeared?

No!

In the eyes of Caidou, who was watching from the side.

The small-bodied Bear Disciple, like a soccer player sliding for the ball, thrust forward with both feet, his tiny body sliding directly between the Armored Fighter's legs.

This scene was like a meme from Sun Wuming's previous life—

"I killed a tiger with one slide tackle."

Seeing this, Lurina quickly warned:

"Armored Fighter! Behind you!"

Hearing this, the Armored Fighter quickly turned around and reversed his water blade, planning to give Bear Disciple another slash.

However, just as the Armored Fighter had barely turned around.

Bear Disciple, who had slid between his legs, had already rolled up from the ground, his short legs sweeping across, tackling the Armored Fighter's heel.

"Crack!?"

The Armored Fighter's burly body stumbled, his feet flipped, and he fell flat on his back.

"That move just now... was that 'Low Kick'?" 

The observing Caidou asked in astonishment.

Low Kick, a special move that becomes more powerful the heavier the opponent is.

Five seconds later, the Armored Fighter who had been kicked down by Bear Disciple had gotten back up.

Lurina thought to herself:

"Such agile movements, but this little Pokémon obviously hasn't been born for long. With this level of strength, even if it hits several more times, it won't be able to harm my Armored Fighter."

Thinking this, Lurina commanded again:

"Armored Fighter! Use Cross Chop!"

The Armored Fighter's two thick arms burst with emerald energy.

They transformed into what seemed like two large cleavers chopping down at Bear Disciple.

Facing the two "large blades" continuously falling towards him.

Bear Disciple's stubborn little face showed no change.

Turning his head, sidestepping, retreating...

Each time avoiding the lethal attacks with minimal arc and distance.

It was just like how Machamp had fought Blastoise blindfolded earlier.

No!

Even more agile than Machamp!

"Can't, can't hit it... does this Pokémon know that technique too?"

Lurina's embroidered eyebrows furrowed.

She remembered that technique was called... Observation something, right?

"No, Bear Disciple isn't qualified to learn Haki yet."

Sun Wuming replied to Lurina's confusion, "It's purely physical ability."

"Crack!"

As Sun Wuming said this, the Armored Fighter clearly became impatient and delivered a fierce karate chop downward.

However, Bear Disciple slightly shifted his body, and the huge hand chop barely grazed past the little bear's nose tip, crashing into the ground with a "boom."

The impact left a crack about seven or eight meters long, showing how Pokémon indeed possess strength far beyond humans.

Just as the Armored Fighter's right hand struck the ground.

Sun Wuming spoke again:

"Go for it!"

Bear Disciple's short legs bounced onto the Armored Fighter's grounded arm, then bounced again to reach the Armored Fighter's face.

Then, his little short hand delivered a slap.

With a "smack!", the Armored Fighter was left seeing stars from the powerful slap.

"Was that 'Karate Chop' this time?"

Caidou blinked her big eyes and asked.

"The opponent is skilled in close combat! Armored Fighter, create distance and use Pin Missile!"

By now, Lurina had lost all her previous contempt and quickly changed tactics.

Although the Armored Fighter was fuming with rage, hearing his trainer's command, he repeatedly retreated while opening his arms, releasing numerous flying needles from under his armor, scattering like a storm of flower petals.

"The speed and power aren't much, we can charge straight through, right, little bear?"

Sun Wuming said with his usual smile.

"Aye!"

Bear Disciple charged forward on his short legs.

Facing the rain of needles falling from the sky.

Bear Disciple dove, rolled, and jumped.

Each time narrowly avoiding vital hits.

Both Lurina as the opponent and Caidou as the observer were dumbfounded.

Lurina was shocked that she was being pressured by something that had just been born recently?

While Caidou was amazed that her master, who had only been learning to command Pokémon for two months, could already achieve this level?!

Before they knew it, Bear Disciple had charged to within two meters of the Armored Fighter!

"Let's try that move."

Sun Wuming had a flash of inspiration and ordered:

"Bear Disciple, use Primary Lotus!"

Primary Lotus!?

Hearing this move name, both dark-skinned beauties were stunned.

They'd never heard of it.

Bear Disciple slid again, gliding more than a meter across the ground.

Then using his little left hand for support, he suddenly sprang up, delivering a powerful kick to the Armored Fighter's chin.
