Chapter 239 "The Power of the Bear"
One of them was a crouching bear, its broad paws resting on the ground to maintain a normal posture, with the yellow moon obscured by dark clouds imprinted on its forehead.
One of them is the "Heyue" Moon Bear, which stands upright with its massive body covered in crisscrossing scars, sharp claws and bear paws shining on its sides, and a bright red moon on its forehead.
On this peat plateau.
The two bears locked eyes, their gazes locked for a single moment.
Probably no one knows what the two of them are thinking... well, at least Xijiana, who's in the distance with her buttocks down and head buried in the river washing mud, certainly doesn't know.
The stalemate lasted for a long time.
"Roar roar roar—"
Suddenly, the Moon Bear, which was lying on the ground, let out an angry roar.
Its yellow moon on its forehead shone even brighter, and it adopted a fierce expression. Its open mouth exuded a menacing aura, and saliva dripped down its face. This was a signal that it was about to attack, but it made the "Heyue Bear" next to Ze Shu look stunned and somewhat confused.
"it...."
"Something's not right."
Ze Shu slowly spoke to He Yue Xiong beside him.
The eyes of the Moon Bear opposite him... gave Ze Shu a feeling of being a little crazy.
as predicted.
Then another roar was heard.
Then the Moon Bear charged straight toward the Swamp Tree.
Its broad bear paws gleamed with an earthy sheen, a testament to its immense power; each slap sent up a cloud of black carbon dust across the peat bog.
"roar.."
The Moon Bear was caught off guard.
Although it looks ferocious and ruthless, it is not so violent inside—at least when it is facing its "companions".
And I've just returned to my hometown...
Are we really going to fight the "Crazy Ancestor"?!
On what grounds?
Based on its status as a "junior"?
Hmm, it actually seems like it could work!
While the Moon Bear was still in a daze, the Moon Bear had already pounced on it.
He Yue Xiong was inexplicably hit by Yue Yue Xiong's "100,000 horsepower" attack.
This is not a light matter.
But... it didn't seem to feel much pain?!
The Moon Bear suddenly realized that the "ancestor" who had seemed so powerful in its vague childhood memories was actually just so-so in terms of combat strength.
After being knocked back several meters by Moonbear, Moonbear had this "disrespectful" thought pop into its mind.
"Have you realized it yet? We might have to fight."
Ze Shu stood two meters away, a distance that was neither too dangerous nor too dangerous, with his arms crossed, and slowly spoke to it.
Heyue Xiong snapped out of his daze and roared at Ze Shu.
"Then...He Yue."
Zeshu unleashed the Moon Bear's signature move.
However, under the wary gaze of the Moon Bear, the Moon Bear stood upright, spread its arms, and roared angrily at the sky.
Even though it was daytime, a blood-red phantom of a moon suddenly appeared slowly on its back and then shot towards the Moon Bear!
Then, a loud "explosive" sound was heard!
It was just one strike.
The Moon Bear, which was lying on the ground, was suddenly swatted away like a thick cushion of flesh, despite its body weighing seven or eight hundred pounds!
It traced a slightly heavy, trailing arc at low altitude.
Finally, it pounded repeatedly on the carbon-rich, slightly hard peat plateau soil.
Its rough fur was covered in charcoal, and some hair had fallen off from rubbing against the dirt, leaving patches of black and bald spots on its body, making it look like a wolf or fox.
The disparity in the civil war between the two "Monthly Bears" is so great.
Is it that the Moon Bear is old and frail, or that the Moon Bear is young and vigorous?
Ze Shu blinked, understanding.
After all, judging from its "base stats", Umbreon is very good at defense and HP. Even its form, Grimerum, is good at it. So, physical moves used by each other in internal battles are difficult to break through its defense.
But the Moon Bear.
After evolving into the shape of a crescent moon over a long period of time...:
Their specialty is special attacks!
Using "Special Attack" to attack the relatively weak "Special Defense" of the Luna is a unique and effective way to defeat it.
Wow, this guy's a civil war king!
Ze Shu slowly looked at his own He Yue Xiong.
Moreover, it is already very powerful.
"roar!!!"
The Moon Bear maintained its fierce expression, staring intently at its ancestor who had rolled to the ground.
But deep down, I felt a little reluctant.
This...this...
Isn't that a bit disrespectful to it?
Although the Moon Bear clan internally values "the strength of the bear"—whoever is the strongest and has the greatest fighting power is the leader.
But this is not blind.
They also have a tradition of "respecting the elderly and caring for the young"!
The younger members of the tribe feed the cubs honey and teach them skills—this is how the Moon Bears were cared for when they were young. The younger members, the "Old Bears," also help out in their old age.
When it was young, it traveled across the ocean to Beishang Township, but failed to fulfill its duty to take care of "Old Deng Bear" and "Bear Cubs".
But now that I'm back...
Instead, he directly beat up an elder of the clan!
What is this...?
"Please be careful and run! Moon Bear..."
Suddenly, as if the commotion here was too loud, a woman's voice came from afar.
Ze Shu looked over and saw the two of them rushing over anxiously.
One of them was a hunched, short old man with a basket on his back. Inside the basket grew a plant that looked like a lotus flower, with large leaves covering its head, seemingly to shelter it from the rain.
The other one was a red-haired girl, and it was she who shouted just now.
"Moon Bear has been affected by the berserk 'Queen's' scales! It's become very abnormal! It's become extremely aggressive! You, hurry!"
"Quick! Get away from the Moon Bear! It's dangerous..."
"?!?!"
After the red-haired girl called out and came closer, and saw the situation clearly,
"Two or two moon bears?!"
"and....
"Was Moon Bear knocked to the ground?"
She stared blankly at the Moon Bear lying on the ground, its wolf-like form gleaming, then turned to look at the Moon Bear beside the imposing Ze Shu, and felt a surge of hatred.
The elderly woman next to her was crying out in pain.
"Ouch! How dare you hurt Moon Bear!"
But before Ze Shu could speak, the red-haired girl beside the old woman turned around and puffed out her cheeks to refute her:
"Xi Pu, you should understand... Moon Bear has been affected by the berserk 'Queen' and has become abnormal..."
"This...this has been defeated..."
"Maybe it's a good thing!"
"I informed you earlier! But you completely disregarded it!"
But the old man named "Xi Pu" was exceptionally stubborn and inflexible.
"What do you mean by 'abnormal'!"
"You're meddling too much, you junior member of Team Kong!"
"Even if it's abnormal, it's the influence of 'Master Sinnoh,' and we just need to follow 'Master Sinnoh's' guidance..."
The red-haired girl was furious.
Zeshu glanced at their argument a few times to understand the situation, then looked away. In the interval between their argument, he walked over to the fallen Moon Bear.
"Watch out! Even though it's fallen, it's still very dangerous..."
"What are you going to do to Moon Bear! Stop it!"
Under the worry and warning of the red-haired girl and the old man with lotus leaves.
Ze Shu called over Gu Le Dun and looked at Yue Yue Xiong: "Open its mouth."
Therefore, Leighton chuckled, "This is a job I'm good at!"
It inserted its palm into the Moon Bear's mouth and pushed it out forcefully!
The bear's mouth was immediately forced open wide, and a faint "click" sound could be heard, as if the bear's upper and lower jaws had been pried open...
"roar!!!"
Moon Bear struggled and let out a painful roar from its throat, but was suppressed by Guleton's "full-force" attack.
This filled Moon Bear's increasingly bloodshot eyes with a sense of humiliation.
Then Ze Shu took out a whole jar of Crystal Honey from his pocket—this was Crystal Honey that Ze Shu bought from Beishang Township. He bought quite a lot of it, since it was good whether it was grilled, coated in honey, or given to Pokémon to taste.
The Moon Bear, in particular, really likes it.
This "product crystal honey," with its many extra "ingredients," truly gave this guy, who only ever raided beehives in the Eternal Forest, a special kind of sweetness.
"What...what are you trying to do?!"
"I'm telling you! Ursaring is one of the Pokémon blessed by 'Master Sinnoh'! If you harm it carelessly, you will be punished by 'Master Sinnoh'!"
Yuu was still shouting loudly, wishing she could rush to Ze Shu's side with her old body and stop his "evil deeds".
But her actions were firmly held back by the red-clad girl beside her.
"Huo Xia, let me go!"
"I won't let go!"
I didn't notice them.
Ze Shu pried open the jar, then aimed the wide opening of the Crystal Honey Jar at the open mouth of the Moon Bear and pressed it down!
The opening of the jar was about the same width as the mouth of the Moon Bear, and it got stuck perfectly. Then, the yellow, viscous liquid inside the jar gurgled down into the jar all at once.
Sweet, but delicious, with a milky aroma—clearly, this "industrial crystal honey" also contains "milk".
This caused Moon Bear's originally red and humiliated eyes to widen in shock!
Its throat moved involuntarily, trying to swallow more honey.
But he couldn't swallow it all; the honey gradually spilled out from the corners of his mouth.
This made Moon Bear's eyes anxious, but the anxiety gradually turned clear.
Upon seeing this, Ze Shu clapped his hands.
"Done."
"Your 'ancestor,' isn't he about to return to normal?"
"If that doesn't work, well, Heyue Xiong, you can fire another shot at this guy."
Upon hearing this, the Moon Bear roared seriously, and the blood moon condensed once more, aimed directly at the Moon Bear that had been fed honey, poised to strike. Moon Bear: ? ? ?
Under the watchful gaze of the "Blood Moon," the Moon Bear gradually recovered.
It fell to the ground with its mouth wide open—but the mouth hadn't recovered and was still blocked by the can, which couldn't be pulled out.
This left Xi Pu, who wanted to feed the Moon Bear a Black Healing Potion, standing by anxiously, but at a loss for what to do.
"So you're Zeqi!"
"I've heard of you. You pacified the 'King of the Forest,' and the newly emerged 'King of the Islands,' and now you've even helped this Moon Bear regain its sanity. Truly, truly..."
The girl named "Hikari" hesitated for a moment, but couldn't come up with a shrine of praise.
She blushed slightly, finding it a little difficult to come up with a compliment in such a short time, despite her usually forthright nature.
"Hello." Ze Shu chose not to let her think about it anymore.
"Hello, hello!" Huo Xia nodded repeatedly, then looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to speak frankly, "You came to the Red Lotus Wetlands,
Are they here to appease the "Mountain Road Queen"?
Ze Shu: "No."
Huo Xia spoke rapidly, excitedly saying, "Other field owners might think this berserk state is a sign from the Great Lord Sinnoh and choose to follow it. But I don't think so. I think this berserk state is definitely harmful to the King. If a strong person like you could help, that would be truly..."
"?!"
As she spoke, Huo Xia suddenly remembered what Ze Shu had just said.
"No, no? Then, what was it for?"
Ze Shu looked at He Yue Xiong.
At this moment, it is helping the Moon Bear pull out the empty honey pot from its mouth.
"Hmm... to help the Pokémon alleviate its homesickness?"
"Hmm..."
Huo Xia was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips, and the woman who had been so quick-witted just now didn't know what to say. She could only slowly straighten her hair, and a disappointed voice came out.
"Okay...yes, I've made things difficult for you..."
"No, I'm sorry..."
She also understood that Ze Shu had no obligation to quell the raging king.
But Huo Xia, preoccupied with the distress caused by the "Mountain Queen's" berserk state, was unwilling to give up hope. She glanced at Ze Shu, thinking that while he was currently unwilling to appease the king, what if he changed his mind later? She suddenly said:
"If possible, to express my apology, I... I can... be your guide at Honglian Wetlands. I know this place very well."
Ze Shu doesn't actually need a guide.
Moreover, he remembered that Huo Xia often got lost and sprained her ankle in the Red Lotus Wetland.
But she couldn't resist Huo Xia's persistent gaze.
Ze Shu sighed and smiled, "Thank you then, let's go."
If the "peat plateau" is the sacred ground of the Moon Bear clan, then the "Bear Fighting Arena" is their dwelling place.
With Huo Xia leading the way, Ze Shu soon brought He Yue Xiong and the exhausted and wounded Yue Yue Xiong to the "Bear Arena," the place where He Yue Xiong lived.
There are many haystacks here. As soon as we arrived, we saw several bear cubs peeking out from the side of the haystacks with their innocent big eyes, looking very curious.
On the way, Ze Shu explained.
He Yuexiong then belatedly realized what was happening.
It turned out that everything here was exactly the same as it remembered. It wasn't an illusion, but... it had returned to the time when it was born, hundreds of years ago!
The impact of these words was so great that even after arriving at the "Bear's Arena," Heyue Bear remained in a state of intense hatred.
I was amazed by Ze Shu's amazing abilities.
One bold guess has emerged: perhaps in this "bear arena," it might even see itself as a cub?!
But the first thing the Moon Bear looked at wasn't the cute bear cubs peeking out from the haystacks.
Instead, it was the Moon Bear, covered in wounds, beside him.
It remembered some of it.
It remembered a period when Ze Shu first came, and its "ancestor," who was highly respected among the bear cubs, was seriously injured.
When it was a little bear cub, it was still very confused.
While playing on the ancestor, he even said he wanted to beat up the guy who hurt the ancestor!
But it didn't expect that.
This so-called "guy who harmed the ancestor":
It was itself!
"roar.
At this time.
Rivers at the far end of the coal plateau.
"Wahahaha—"
"My treasure, it's finally out of the water!"
Higana, her eyes shining, looked at the "classical birthing" that she had washed clean in the rushing river, her bottom sticking out.
"That Dong, hmph! Ze Shu must be envious!"
She looked triumphantly in the direction of the coal plateau.
His eyes gradually became confused.
"Where is everyone?!"
