Chapter 748 The battle begins
"Master Zhang, long time no see."
Facing the middle-aged man, Lin Shi greeted him politely. Although the two had met briefly at the Fighting Forum Summit, they were not close friends. However, Lin Shi knew that this man seemed to be Deng Tianxing's student.
"Long time no see, classmate Lin is young and promising."
Zhang Tianshuo still looks serious. As a military man, he seems to be always strict with himself.
"I heard from the teacher that you are an excellent student, and you have a fighting-type Pokémon that even he praised highly. I wonder if you can see it today."
Zhang Tianshuo's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. He had heard of Lin Shi from Deng Tianxing a long time ago, and naturally had also heard of the bear apprentice who was given high hopes. He couldn't wait to have a fight.
"Since it is Master Zhang's request, then there is naturally no problem."
Lin Shi said this with a smile, but actually Lin Shi had originally planned to use his apprentice Bear to take it to defeat all fighting gyms in the world, but this was the promise Lin Shi made to his apprentice Bear.
Then let’s start from this Steel Fist Gym!
"Please take your positions. This battle will be a 3v3 elf battle. Both parties have selected their elves before the battle begins and cannot be changed. The gym owner's elves are limited to level 65 or below, and cannot be lower than level 50."
"During the battle, the challenger can replace the Pokémon at will, but the gym owner cannot replace the Pokémon unless the Pokémon loses its combat ability."
"During the battle, neither side may use any drugs."
"Then I declare the battle to begin!"
"Please both parties summon the first elf at the same time!"
With the referee's announcement, the battle finally began. Without any hesitation, Lin Shi took out the Poké Ball and summoned the Pokémon.
“Haha.”
Apprentice Bear appeared on the scene with great momentum, tightened the ribbon on his forehead with his hand, and looked at the enemy with full fighting spirit.

Pokémon Identification: Bear Apprentice, a boxing Pokémon. It has been training hard day by day and studying its moves carefully. Its appearance after evolution will change according to the moves it has learned.
ps: 1. This is a healthy and hardworking Pokémon. As a legendary fighting Pokémon, it has extremely powerful potential and outstanding combat ability.
2. With the accumulation of fighting experience, the legendary power has gradually been stimulated and the strength has greatly improved.
It has been almost a year since I tamed the bear apprentice. In just one year, the bear apprentice's strength has undergone a drastic change. He has successfully broken through from an elite-level Pokémon to a gym owner.
This is of course due to the fact that Lin Shi spared no effort in cultivating him, but in fact it was more due to the efforts of Disciple Bear himself.
On the other hand, Lin Shi was no stranger to the elf summoned by Zhang Tianshuo. It was a humanoid elf with limbs and arms, muscles all over the body and extraordinary strength. Lin Shi also had one at home, but obviously compared to the one in his family who only liked to do housework, Zhang Tianshuo's was a complete fighter.
"Disciple Xiong, this is the battle you have been looking forward to. Come on."
Facing a strong enemy, Lin Shi encouraged his disciple Xiong. He could feel that this challenge would be a tough battle for his disciple Xiong, but it was precisely such battles that could constantly hone his disciple Xiong's strength.
"Hoo!"
Apprentice Bear nodded vigorously, but Zhang Tianshuo on the other side could no longer wait. Seeing that Lin Shi had indeed used Apprentice Bear, he was also delighted and immediately launched an attack.
"Strange Power, use Bullet Punch!"
The fist was invisible and as fast as a bullet. In the blink of an eye, the strangely powerful fists covered with metallic light came in front of the bear apprentice, and the shining fists smashed down with all their might.
"Disciple Bear, see through it."
The seeing-through skill is the most core skill that Lin Shi cultivates in his apprentice Xiong. Not only is it because his apprentice Xiong is gifted, but also for his apprentice Xiong, who mainly relies on fighting skills, the "seeing-through" skill is like adding wings to a tiger.
Not only can it allow the Bear Apprentice to predict the opponent's moves in advance and dodge them perfectly, it can also predict the opponent's attack route and fight back, truly "seeing through" the opponent to a certain extent.
Under Lin Shi's command, Apprentice Bear's eyes flashed red for a moment, and Apprentice Bear dodged the bullet punch of Guai Li that was as fast as thunder by leaning sideways. At the same time, Apprentice Bear twisted his body and punched out with a tile-breaking punch, which made Guai Li stagger instead.
"Don't panic because of the strange force, use the force to fall."
Zhang Tianshuo is indeed an experienced trainer. He seized the moment when Guai Li and his bear apprentice were close to each other and let Guai Li use the force to counter attack, resulting in an unavoidable fall.
The strange force was also extremely agile. He grabbed the bear apprentice before his feet were even steady, then threw him high into the air with an over-the-shoulder throw, while clenching his fists to take the opportunity to finish him off.
"Apprentice Xiong uses Yan Fan."
But all this was within Lin Shi's expectations. Using the opponent's force to counter attack was not Zhang Tianshuo's specialty. The bear apprentice who had been thrown out suddenly appeared with a layer of white light, and his body seemed to become lighter. He opened his palms, and like a big bird, he drew a bend in the air, came in front of the strange force, and hit him head-on.
"Oh!"
It had no way to dodge the strange force, and was hit hard by Yan Fan. The damage from the restrained force made it feel extreme pain.
"Strange power!"
Zhang Tianshuo shouted with concern, and then looked at Lin Shi and Disciple Bear with a more alert heart. That Disciple Bear was indeed extraordinary. Although their method just now was simple, it was not easy to implement it. Moreover, he felt that the other party seemed to have retained some strength...
"The battle has just begun, use the tile splitting skill!"
After calming his mind, Zhang Tianshuo continued to command. Dark red fighting energy spread from the four arms of Guai Li, and the four hands were waving vigorously.
"Apprentice Xiong, let's go too. Use the tile splitting technique."
Lin Shi also immediately gave orders, and his bear apprentice enthusiastically fought with the opponent. Both of them were Fighting-type Pokémon, and they had basic fighting skills when fighting each other, which was very different from the battles with other types of Pokémon.
In fact, what Zhang Tianshuo felt was not wrong. Apprentice Bear did not use his true strength. His legendary power was not revealed due to deliberate suppression. At this moment, he was fighting entirely relying on his combat experience and proficiency in skills.
So for Apprentice Xiong, this gym challenge is not easy, but Lin Shi also knows that only through such a challenge can Apprentice Xiong get closer and closer to the realm of a grandmaster!
Until you become a true martial arts master!
