Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 494: Guide apprentice Bear to tame the ancient jade fish!
"Oh..."

After hearing what that person said, Apprentice Xiong felt a little embarrassed.

Because the practice method it is using now was thought up by this human being.

It originally thought that the other party had left, so it came out to try secretly, but it didn't expect to be caught on the spot...

Feeling shy, the bear disciple jumped out from under the waterfall in a panic, as if he wanted to escape.

Seeing this cute legendary Pokémon about to run away, Naoki quickly shouted:

"Wait a moment!"

The bear apprentice paused, then turned his head and looked over in confusion: "What?"

"You can continue to stay here and practice. We will never disturb you." Naoki showed his kindness to the bear disciple.

This was the first time he had seen a wild bear apprentice, so he had to observe it carefully.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Apprentice Bear seemed to have no intention of running away.

It looked at Naoki, then at the waterfall, and no one knew what it was thinking.

After a while, Apprentice Bear seemed to have made some kind of decision in his heart. He turned around and went back to the waterfall to continue practicing.

"Boni!" Uruk-York, who was standing by, was surprised and impressed by the little Pokémon's persistence in practicing under the waterfall.

It works so hard!
"That's right." Naoki understood what Eruption meant. He nodded and said, "Pokémon like Ursa Major will work hard to train their body and mind, perform hard training day after day, and study their moves diligently."

They are a type of Pokémon with an extremely serious temperament. They are not afraid of hardship and are very able to endure it. They practice hard to improve their strength.

What’s even more interesting is that the Pokémon Ursa Major has two completely different evolutionary forms.

One is the bear master of the One-Strike Martial Arts who is good at killing with one blow. He will fly into the opponent's arms and punch him with his well-trained fists.

The other type is the combo-style martial arts bear master who attacks his opponent with striking moves like a stream of water without stopping, and takes winning by multiple strikes as his creed.

Looking at the bear disciple practicing diligently, Motorcycle Lizard seemed to be infected by his emotions.

A serious look appeared on its face: "Gaao!"

Then he ran to the bottom of the waterfall and continued his practice.

"Motorcycle Lizard works hard too!" Naoki couldn't help but sigh.

Babu Tupo and Dragonite on the side also excitedly cheered for Motorlizard.

"Bamo!"

"Ouch!"

"Bonnie~"

Only Gulden looked speechless, then he lay lazily on the grass and yawned.

"Aren't you going to exercise?" Naoki asked, looking at the Pokémon next to him.

"Ouch!" Dragonite shook his big head, looking quite confused.

Because it feels like practicing under a waterfall is like being caught in the rain, other than that, there is no other feeling.

Dragonite doesn't understand, and the original Pokémon Flutterbear from the past is even less able to understand the purpose of waterfall training.

Naoki: "..."

He suddenly felt that the Motorcycle Lizard was probably just standing there stupidly, letting the waterfall wash over its head.

After pondering for a moment, Naoki took inspiration from the training method of Master Bear, a combo-style martial artist, and walked forward to instruct Motorcycle Lizard.

"Pay attention, Motor Lizard, waterfall training is not just about letting the waterfall wash over your body. In the process, you have to learn to feel it."

Under the waterfall, Motor Lizard and the bear disciple not far away opened their eyes at the same time and looked over here.

“Use your heart to feel the power of the water. Sometimes it becomes fast and turbulent, but sometimes it flows smoothly like a mirror.”

"Gaao..." The Motorcycle Lizard listened carefully.

"Think of it like a fight. If you can ignore the impact of the waterfall, then you will gain the ability to face more intense fights."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naoki suddenly noticed that his apprentice Bear on the other side was also listening carefully to what he said.

He paused, turned to Apprentice Bear and said, "This will also work for you, Apprentice Bear."

After all, this is the special training method for the bear apprentice. Only when it fully comprehends and masters the mystery of water flow can it use this power to evolve into a combo-style martial arts bear master.

When the bear disciple heard the human talking to him, he was suddenly startled and quickly closed his eyes, pretending to continue practicing.

But soon, it was immersed in what the human had just said, and it carefully felt the power of the water around it...

Apprentice Bear seemed to have entered a state of enlightenment.

Seeing this scene, Naoki did not disturb it, but took out his mobile phone, pointed it at the bear apprentice, and shot a precious ecological video of the wild bear apprentice practicing.

At this time, the Pokémon that Naoki had entrusted to look for the stake and the shrine returned.

Naoki asked Dragonite and the others to help guard the Motorcycle Lizard's training here, while he went with Gulden to pull out the stake.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Naoki spent a whole morning and finally pulled out the seven stakes that sealed the ancient jade fish.

With the help of Gastly, he found the Fire Shrine hidden behind a waterfall.

Next, there is only one stake left to release the seal of the ancient jade fish.

At noon, in order to thank these wild Pokémon for their help, Naoki specially prepared a sumptuous energy cube meal for them.

A group of Pokémon gathered together and happily enjoyed the delicious food.

Naoki went to the side and used a dry towel to help the motorcycle lizard wipe the water off its body.

The motorcycle lizard obediently stretched out its arms, raised its head, and let Naoki wipe its body, with a comfortable expression on its face.

Not far away, the bear apprentice also came to the shore and shook the water off his fur vigorously.

The water that was thrown out splashed towards Naoki.

Bear Apprentice: Σ()

"Hmm?" Naoki smiled and comforted, "Don't be nervous, it's okay. Can you come and have lunch with me?"

“Oh…”

Apprentice Xiong looked up blankly.

Just when Naoki thought that the bear apprentice would happily join, the bear apprentice suddenly became timid.

The two short little hands fumbled around, as if they didn't know where to put them.

Finally, Apprentice Bear suddenly looked towards the bamboo forest not far away.

“Yeah!”

It ran over quickly, pulled out the bamboo shoots growing nearby and gave them to Naoki.

[Apprentice Bear's Gratitude Bamboo Shoots: Special ingredients, a gift from Apprentice Bear with gratitude. Using it to make dishes may have some unexpected effects.]

Looking at the bamboo shoots in his hand, Naoki was slightly stunned: "Given to me?"

"Yeah!" Apprentice Bear looked a little embarrassed.

Zhishu immediately understood that Disciple Xiong was thanking him for his guidance!

"I understand. I like your gift very much." Naoki said softly.

Apprentice Xiong touched his head a little embarrassedly: "Well~"

"Then let's eat together!"

Naoki brought a plate of snacks to his apprentice Bear.

The bear apprentice sat cross-legged on the grass. He first picked up a piece of snack with his hands curiously, then put it in his mouth to taste it.

The next second, Apprentice Bear's eyes lit up.

“Yeah!”

"Gaaao~"

Motorlizard has a good impression of this little bear Pokémon who is training with him under the waterfall. He took the initiative to introduce it to his bear apprentice: "Gaao!" (These are all made by Naoki himself!)
"Beh?" Naoki? Is that the human's name?
Motorcycle Lizard nodded in confirmation: "Gaao!" (That's right!)
Naoki sat next to Gulerton, eating a sandwich while looking at the Motorcycle Lizard and the Bear Apprentice getting along with each other.

"They seem to be getting along very well!"

Gu Ledun: "Ah, geez..."

But having said that, Apprentice Bear is really cute!

A serious little bear Pokémon who can also be shy.

Naoki had the idea of ​​taming the bear as his apprentice.

He whispered to Gulden, "Gulden, do you think if I invite the bear apprentice to come back to the ranch and live with us, will he agree?"

Gu Leton said with a look of certainty: "Ah gah!"

Seeing that Gulden was so sure, Naoki asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

So it was natural for Leton to say "Agassi!" because Naoki is the best trainer in the world!

Naoki: "..."

That's not the case, because in the eyes of every Pokémon, its trainer is unique in the world.

Pokémon like Ursagi are keen on exercising.

Although there is no waterfall suitable for it to practice in the ranch now, Naoki feels that he can change his thinking.

For example, let it feel the mystery of water flow in the habitat of Kyogre, the God of the Sea, and it can also keep the Motor Lizard company.

The two Pokémon train and practice together.

But business matters now.

After lunch, Naoki began to look for the last stake.

He had planned to continue searching with the help of the Pokémon.

But after hearing what they said, Apprentice Xiong suddenly said:
"Oh?"

Through the power of Tokiwa, Naoki felt the thoughts of his bear apprentice.

It is asking: Are you looking for the glowing stake?

Naoki was slightly stunned, then asked: "Do you know where it is?"

“Yeah!”

Apprentice Bear nodded and led the way.

Naoki hurried to catch up, and under the guidance of Apprentice Bear, he soon found the last stake that sealed the ancient jade fish in a hidden cave.

The entrance of the cave was covered with withered yellow bamboo leaves, which looked very inconspicuous. No wonder Gastly and the others didn't discover this place before.

According to the bear's apprentice, this small hole was discovered by it when it was hiding from the rain.

The entrance to the cave was only about 30 centimeters in diameter and was very narrow. Naoki was unable to enter, so he asked his apprentice Bear to go in and help pull out the stake.

“Yeah!”

Apprentice Bear nodded his head and agreed.

The bear apprentice, who was only sixty centimeters tall, easily got into the cave.

Soon, as the last stake was pulled out, a silent sound was heard in the distance.

The Pokémon around also heard the voice and turned around, looking at each other in confusion.

The seal of the ancient jade fish has been lifted!

In order to prevent the Ancient Jade Fish from breaking the seal and bringing disaster to the surrounding area, Naoki simply explained to the group of Pokémon, asked them to wait for him here, and then rode on the Gulden and rushed in that direction at a high speed.

Looking at that scene, Apprentice Bear felt that something bad was going to happen, so he followed decisively.

The Fire Shrine is located behind an inconspicuous waterfall.

The waterfall cascades down from the cliff above and gathers into a spacious lake below.

When Naoki arrived here, he saw a large cloud of fog rising above the lake.

There is a red glow reflected behind the waterfall, and the mist is actually the water vapor produced by the lake water being evaporated by high temperature!

Suddenly, a red shadow appeared on the lake.

The next second, Naoki saw a Pokémon swimming out of the lake and swimming leisurely in it.

It was a Pokémon that looked like a goldfish. Most of its body was yellow, and its tail and fins were like a burning flame.

Its pupils are large and black, taking up most of its eyes. There are two magatama around each eye, and the color of the magatama gradually fades from the end with the hole.

At this time, the Ancient Jade Fish also noticed the human and Pokémon that broke in.

The magatama around its eyes suddenly burst into golden light followed by a brief red glow.

That is proof that the ancient jade fish is in an excited state at this moment!

The next second, a rolling heat wave swept in, and golden-red flames enveloped the entire lake, making the entire lake seem to have turned into a sea of ​​​​lava.

The steam produced by the melting lake water filled the air, and the silhouette of the ancient jade fish disappeared into it.

"Gulden, prepare for battle!" Naoki said in a deep voice.

"Ah gah!"

So Leton responded reliably.

Then, it transformed into a standing form, with crimson energy flowing on its scarlet body.

Gu Leton stomped the ground with his right foot and let out an ancient roar.

In an instant, dark cracks appeared on the ground, spreading towards the lake where the ancient jade fish was.

Tread hard!

The powerful shock wave instantly stirred up huge waves, and the ancient jade fish in the lake was also shaken out.

Under the dazzling sunlight, Gulden peered through the mist and locked onto the ancient jade fish in mid-air with his golden pupils.

The next second, its body rushed out, deforming while violently slamming into the ancient jade fish.

The terrifying ancient energy instantly caused a terrible explosion.

Before the ancient jade fish could react, it fell into the lake.

After a moment, the unconscious ancient jade fish floated to the surface of the water.

Gu Leton looked back at Naoki.

Naoki took out the Poké Ball and threw it towards the ancient jade fish.

The Poké Ball hit the Ancient Jade Fish, and with a click, the ball automatically popped open and took the Ancient Jade Fish into it, then automatically closed, fell on the lake, and began to sway gently.

The button on the Poké Ball also began to flash red.

Once, twice, three times, four times...

It was not until the fifth time that the flashing red light on the Poké Ball disappeared, and the Poké Ball stopped shaking.

This means that the conquest was successful!
The Poké Ball containing the ancient jade fish gradually floated to the shore along with the ripples on the lake.

Naoki walked forward and picked it up, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the only four disaster Pokémon left are the last two, Crooked and Crooked!

In the bamboo forest, the bear apprentice who followed looked at Naoki and the Pokémon named Guledon below with a shocked expression.

With just one encounter, the Pokémon that melted the lake and evaporated the waterfall was defeated...

Okay, so awesome!

Here is a picture of the ranch:
