Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Julian: Looks Like I Have No Choice

A/N:6/10 Bonus Chapters

-----------------------

Julian had watched the anime, so he knew Alola had a Bewear that could fight the Tapu above and kick Ultra Beasts below.

Tapu Bewear!

Of course, whether that Bewear’s strength had reached its peak yet, Julian did not know.

But Bewear’s potential definitely belonged among the very top in the world.

She had the aura of something that could kill gods if they stood in her way, and devils if they blocked her path.

And in the anime, Bewear’s child, Stufful, had also shown extreme potential.

From that, one could infer that this was family inheritance.

Which meant the Bewear before them could most likely be measured against that Bear God from the anime!

The only time Bear God had ever revealed an opening was when Guzzlord invaded in large numbers.

To protect her child, she had been pinned down and beaten by Guzzlord.

But this Bewear before them looked ordinary on the surface.

In truth, that was the bearing of a master!

The restraint unique to Fighting-type Pokémon.

Julian thought for a moment.

"Kommo-o, I’ll leave this to you!"

Kommo-o shook his tail as he entered the field and let out a battle cry at Bewear to test her.

Facing the battle cry that weakened Attack, Bewear still stood there without the slightest change in expression.

Julian frowned slightly.

"Dragon Dance!"

Victory Dance was good, but Kommo-o was still not skilled enough with it.

He could not use it openly in front of Bewear.

Just as Kommo-o began Dragon Dance, Bewear suddenly moved.

In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Kommo-o and punched him in the abdomen.

Watching this scene through the water mirror, Tapu Fini smiled.

This Bewear was the trump card she had painstakingly trained.

Passing Bewear?

Impossible!

Although Kommo-o possessed top-tier evasion while using Dragon Dance, he still failed to dodge Bewear’s fist.

Cynthia looked at Bewear in surprise.

"So fast. So strong!"

It was only Force Palm, yet Bewear had mastered it to this extent.

Julian hurriedly used Aura to remove Kommo-o’s paralysis.

As expected of an ancient Bewear who had been dead for who knew how many years.

Her mastery of Force Palm was simply absurd!

That one blow had directly paralysed Kommo-o.

As soon as Kommo-o stood up, Bewear had already appeared in front of him again.

One upward kick.

Kommo-o raised his claws, but he was still kicked flying.

He slammed heavily into the cliff wall and was buried beneath stones.

Julian clenched his fist.

"Kommo-o, I believe you won’t fall here!"

From within the stones came a loud dragon roar, and purple light pierced through the rubble, blasting all of it away.

The stones flew towards Bewear.

Bewear used both hands and feet, crushing every stone into fragments.

Still Force Palm!

That expressionless face seemed to say that beating Kommo-o only required one move.

Kommo-o gritted his teeth and began using Dragon Dance again.

In truth, while he had been buried beneath the rocks, Kommo-o had secretly used Bulk Up twice to strengthen himself.

But even after swelling his muscles and energy, Kommo-o felt he still could not block Bewear’s Force Palm from penetrating into his body.

The dragon scales he was so proud of were completely useless against Bewear!

Damn it!

And Bewear, still expressionless, rushed in front of Kommo-o again.

She swung her fist.

But this time, Kommo-o twisted his body to the limit and avoided Bewear’s fist.

An almost imperceptible look flickered through Bewear’s eyes.

Then she kicked out, sending Kommo-o flying.

He crashed into the cliff wall again.

And it was the exact same spot as last time.

That was right.

Bewear had done it on purpose.

It was as if she was saying that fighting Kommo-o was as easy as playing.

Julian narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke to calm him.

"Kommo-o, calm down. Don’t let the enemy lead you by the nose."

"If you can avoid one punch from her, then you can avoid the next kick, until you can avoid every attack she throws!"

This Bewear truly was a Fighting master.

She did not only control the enemy’s body; she controlled the enemy’s mind.

No expression, no speech, no dodging the battle cry, only using Force Palm.

She had pushed Kommo-o’s emotions to the limit.

Even Julian, if he had not known her background, might have been led around by her.

"Kommo-o, Autotomize!"

Bewear rushed forward again. Kommo-o swung his claws and blocked two punches and one kick from Bewear.

Finally, he was struck by a headbutt and once again smashed into the cliff wall.

Kommo-o climbed up from beneath the cliff, but the corner of his mouth rose into a bright smile.

If they kept fighting, sooner or later, he would be able to block all of Bewear’s attacks!

But Bewear was not going to give Kommo-o that chance.

A layer of pink light appeared over Bewear’s body.

Julian narrowed his eyes slightly.

That glow...

When Bear God had seen Meowth being toyed with emotionally by Pheromosa and erupted in fury, that same glow had appeared.

Bewear was going all out!

She rushed in front of Kommo-o again and brought her arm down hard.

Hammer Arm!

Kommo-o flew away with a cry like a torn rag.

He crashed into the cliff wall, and the earth shook violently.

Julian stepped forward, moved the stones aside, and recalled Kommo-o into his Poké Ball.

"Kommo-o, you’ve already done more than enough."

Cynthia took out a Poké Ball.

"Julian, leave this one to Garchomp and me."

Julian shook his head.

"No. This is my trial. To avoid Tapu Fini deciding that I didn’t pass it through my own strength..."

"Bewear is mine. Besides, this is the first time I’ve met a martial artist this powerful."

Julian clenched his fists, and his bones let out crisp cracks.

Fighting energy surged, making the lines of Julian’s muscles grow sharper.

For the first time, Bewear’s expression clearly changed.

She had not expected the Trainer himself to step onto the battlefield.

Julian smiled and said, "Bewear, don’t worry. Use your full strength. I can take it."

He said that, but when Bewear rushed in front of Julian...

She still threw a single Force Palm.

Julian caught Bewear’s arm with both hands and guided it forward.

"Now do you believe me?"

Bewear kicked out, and Julian raised his foot, stepping her leg back down.

Bewear suddenly twisted her body, and Julian smoothly took a step back.

Pink light shone across Bewear’s body again.

Julian’s fist also began to shine with black light.

Tapu Fini blinked.

Why had this human personally entered the field?

Was that allowed?

Bewear lunged forward, releasing overwhelming strength.

Superpower!

Julian met her head-on.

Fist against fist.

Wicked Blow!

A powerful wave of air spread outward from the point where their fists collided.

Cynthia’s smooth blond hair was blown wildly by the wind.

She looked at Julian with concern, worried that he might be injured.

The two sides held their punching posture for almost a full minute.

Bewear was the first to withdraw her fist.

She nodded to Julian, then slowly turned and walked into the mist.

As for Julian, his withdrawn right hand would not stop trembling and a trickle of blood ran down his arm.

Cynthia stepped forward and looked at him with concern.

"Is your hand alright?"

Julian smiled slightly.

"It’s fine. I’m just a little drained. With Aura, I should recover in two and a half hours at most."

Julian looked ahead.

"The spring is just in front of us. Let’s hurry."
