He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4296 An opponent dressed as a bear?!

Ten minutes later.

Ash and his friends have already set off towards the Giant's Bench area in the east.

He was still clutching that small and peculiar golden ring in his hand.

As for wearing a bear—

It had put on that green demon mask again, silently hiding in the shadows, following the group at a distance.

It's best for the little bear to remain hidden until it completes its trial.

After all, this is a surprise test, so we shouldn't let it affect the latter's performance.

What kind of Pokémon is in here?

Xiaoyou turned her head and stared curiously at the golden ring in Xiaozhi's hand, her eyes lighting up.

"I can't wait!"

Mary walked on the other side, looking completely excited, like she was watching a melon seed.

There was no other way; they usually spent their days training hard in the watchtower in preparation for the Galar League Conference.

Occasionally, they just wander around the wilderness area, shooting out beams of light from their giant nests.

It's rare to encounter something so interesting today!

There aren't any Pokémon in there!

Ash shook the golden ring and smiled, offering a reminder:

"To be precise, it connects to a Pokémon somewhere and then teleports it there."

Of course, he was curious too!

So the three of them quickened their pace without prior arrangement, taking the shortest route and traversing the most expansive grassland in the southern part of the wilderness.

This is a beginner area in the Wild Area, and there are few wild Pokémon that rush up to attack you.

As the waist-high grass gradually becomes shorter and sparser, it is replaced by bare soil and rock.

The surrounding scenery gradually changed from open grasslands to an area filled with strangely shaped rocks.

Giant rocks, each over ten meters high, stand all around, as if they were toys casually placed there by a giant.

This means they have arrived at their destination, Giant's Bench Rock!

The types of wild Pokémon that inhabit this area have also changed considerably—

The furtive Galar-like creature meows, and the bronze mirror monster floats swaying in the air.

The seed-shaped iron ball lay motionless on the ground, disguised as an ordinary spiky rock.

You can see small stones by the roadside from time to time, but as soon as you get within two meters, a small orange-shelled crab will emerge from it and run away in a panic. It is a stone crab.

Most of them are Steel or Rock type Pokémon.

Clang!

Clang!

Just then, a loud rock-cracking sound suddenly came from the side, like the intense noise of a construction site, instantly attracting the attention of the three.

They naturally turned their gaze towards it.

On the back of a giant rock over twenty meters high, a bear-themed creature was swinging its fists and pounding on the rock face, creating a very ferocious scene!

Each punch caused the entire boulder to tremble, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the rock face.

Rock fragments flew everywhere, and dust was shaken down.

Even on the other side of this giant rock, it has been smashed and dented, forming a small crater.

Many of the surrounding boulders also share this style.

It was his bear costume!

"This power is still so exaggerated!"

Xiao You couldn't help but sigh, still amazed no matter how many times she saw it.

Now she finally understood the source of this brute force. No wonder, it's all hereditary!

Under the influence of this exaggerated brute force, the wild Pokémon that originally lived nearby naturally dared not approach.

The roaming Giant Rock and Digging Rabbit had long since moved to the other side of Giant Bench Rock, resolutely refusing to play the "enthusiastic hugging game" with the Bear in the Clothing. Even the current bully of this area—

A large steel snake that used to occasionally pop its head out from underground and roar intimidation has been staying quietly underground these days, rarely showing its head.

Who is the real bully?!

Xiao Zhi exchanged a glance with the two, nodded, and then immediately took the golden ring and walked up.

Mary and Xiaoyou moved in perfect unison, tacitly stepping back to maintain a sufficient distance.

He then picked a rock with a flat top, sat down on it, and prepared to watch from the sidelines!

"Bari~"

The Mr. Mime stood beside the two of them, but did not follow them to act as a translator.

She even pulled out two bags of sunflower seeds from somewhere and handed them to Xiaoyou and Mary respectively, clearly having joined the sisterhood group.

On the other side, behind the giant rock.

Hearing the noise behind him, the bear stopped throwing a punch and turned around.

"lucky?"

Upon seeing Ash's figure, it remained expressionless but still tilted its head, looking puzzled.

At this time, my trainer should still be in the open space in front of the castle, right?

Why would you suddenly end up in such a remote place?

The giant's stone bench has practically become its private boxing arena.

"Haha, wearing a bear costume~ I think you must be bored here all by yourself~"

"That's right! I found you a great opponent today because I thought you were so boring!"

Xiao Zhi scratched the back of his head and chuckled awkwardly; the reason seemed a bit forced.

Forget it, forget it!

"In short, your task now is to do everything in your power to defeat it!"

He usually tells the bear to hold back, but since this is a test subject found by the bear senior, he should be a strong person who can withstand the former's full-force attack, right?

"lucky?"

Wearing a bear costume, he remained expressionless, averting his gaze to instinctively look at Mary and Xiaoyou sitting on the rocks not far away.

Weird!

However, it wouldn't refuse if it were just an opponent!

After all, it had gotten bored practicing its punches here these past few days. Even the ferocious steel mudskipper underground couldn't withstand more than a few of its punches.

Of course, before officially using the Hoopa Ring, Ash threw a few Berries to Bewear to restore all the status he had lost.

Huff, huff—!

Despite not understanding why, the bear still stuffed all the fruit into its mouth, chewed it all up, and swallowed it in a few bites.

After making the preparations, Ash walked to the open space in front of the giant rock and slowly raised the small golden ring in his hand.

It's very easy to use and quite intelligent.

He took a deep breath, concentrated, and silently said "make a wish" in his mind.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

The small golden ring immediately floated up, and the tiny ring, which was originally less than the size of a palm, rapidly expanded in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, it swelled to a size of more than three meters wide!

"coming!"

"What Pokémon is that?!"

Xiaoyou and Mary immediately stood up halfway and craned their necks to look around.

Xiao Zhi was standing closest, so he could see everything clearly.

At this moment, on the other side of the space connected by the teleportation ring, stood a Pokémon that was slightly larger than a bear-wearing creature.

Its appearance was extremely strange, causing Xiaozhi to frown deeply.

"Wait a minute, what kind of Pokémon is this?" (End of Chapter)
