He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4346 The Martial Arts Philosophy of Heavenly King Lianwu!

The next day, very early in the morning.

Ash rode Corviknight straight to the Isle of Armor.

In less than two hours, the islands facing Spike Town across the sea came into view.

The morning sea breeze was blowing in my face. The waves were not big today, and the sea below was sparkling in the sunlight.

Standing on the north side of the island, the two wooden towers, one in the east and one in the west, with different colors, are particularly eye-catching.

"We're here, let's get off!"

Ash patted Corviknight's neck.

"Gah—!"

The Steel-Armored Raven understood and let out a loud, clear cry.

With its wings tilted, the figure glided downwards with the airflow, landing towards the dojo building in the southeast corner of the island.

In the open space in front of the dojo, a familiar girl was waving at him from afar.

"Ash, over here!!"

She had changed into a yellow and black martial arts school uniform.

Of course, she was still wearing a small green round hat on her head.

After landing, Ash jumped off Corviknight's back and immediately saw Yu coming to greet him.

"Hey, Xiaoyou, you've changed into these clothes."

Xiao Zhi smiled and praised:

"It looks great on you!"

Wearing the martial arts school's training uniform, he looked more capable and efficient than usual.

Xiao You smiled, her eyes crinkling, her cheeks flushed.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"

"Besides, I'm living in the martial arts school now, and it would feel weird to keep wearing my own clothes."

After all, all the senior students around him were wearing the same uniform, and he would look too conspicuous if he did it that way.

Ash had naturally informed Yu in advance about his trip to the Isle of Armor.

He looked around and found that the place was not much different from when he stayed there before.

boom!

At that moment, the Poké Ball on my waist popped open automatically.

The martial arts bear master landed on the ground and immediately took a deep breath of the island's air.

"Hah!"

Back in my familiar home, a smile involuntarily crept onto my face.

Then, Master Xiong bent his knees and jumped onto the roof of the dojo, disappearing in a few steps.

Xiao Zhi ignored it and walked towards the martial arts gym with Xiao You, smiling.

"Oh, right, Mr. Lian Wu has arrived and is inside now~"

Xiaoyou reminded her from the side.

She was also taken aback when she first met such a burly man.

Ash nodded and pushed open the door to enter the dojo.

Inside, it was still a spacious training ground, with the wooden floor kept very clean.

Various fitness equipment and training devices are placed in the corners of the room, which look quite professional.

The long corridor on the right leads directly to the students' living quarters.

At this moment, more than twenty trainees stood neatly in the training hall.

Each person is accompanied by a partner Pokémon, mostly of the Fighting, Dark, or Water types.

Ma Shide was still dressed in his usual casual sportswear, with his hands in his shirt pockets, standing at the edge of the training field.

When he saw Xiaozhi come in, the old man squinted his eyes and greeted him with his eyes.

Standing before the apprentices was a dark-skinned, burly man nearly two meters tall.

With his imposing physique and broad shoulders, he exuded an aura of intimidation unique to fighters simply by standing there. This was none other than Lian Wu, one of the Unova Four Heavenly Kings, specializing in hand-to-hand combat!

Are you giving them a lesson?

Xiao Zhi also became interested.

It seems Master Ma is quite good at conscripting men!

That's right. It's rare to have such a powerful fighting king here, so he'll definitely have to give a public lesson.

He didn't interrupt, and stood with Xiaoyou in a corner to listen.

At the front of the training ground, Lian Wu naturally noticed Xiao Zhi walking in.

He glanced at Xiao Zhi from afar, nodded to him, and then looked back at the students in front of him.

"As a martial artist, the most important thing is the integration of mind, technique, and body!"

"The spirit of unwavering belief, the skills honed through constant practice, and the body forged through training! These three are the keys to strength!"

Lian Wu's voice was loud and deep, echoing throughout the training ground.

He looked at the students and Pokémon in front of him, and suddenly struck a fighting move with a strong sense of power.

Although the trainees didn't quite understand what was being said, they all instinctively straightened their backs and watched intently.

Lian Wu then went on to elaborate on his martial arts philosophy:

"Victory and defeat are important, but they are not everything."

"Victory and defeat will eventually pass, but what a martial artist should be sure of is whether you are stronger than yesterday!"

"That is, truly breaking through the limits!"

As Lian Wu spoke, his gaze beneath his thick yellow eyebrows became exceptionally sharp.

As a disciple of former Unified Champion Ardek, Lian Wu's philosophy differs significantly from Mr. Ardek's.

After the death of his partner Pokémon, Alder no longer regards "pursuing the strongest and breaking limits" as his life goal.

Instead, they value the process of living and progressing together with Pokémon.

For Lian Wu, there has only ever been one path.

Cultivate yourself, and then continuously break through your limits!

Mastedt stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Good martial arts concept~

There are many different martial arts philosophies; there is no right or wrong one, nor is there a need to reject other people's philosophies.

His Master Ma Martial Arts School never forces students to think their own ideas.

However, no amount of talk is as good as showing off your skills.

Lian Wu threw out a Poké Ball.

boom!

The red light landed, and a humanoid Pokémon appeared beside him.

He appeared somewhat short and stout, with a deep red body, wearing a white judo uniform, and a black belt around his waist.

However, that shouldn't be clothing, but rather part of its body.

Or rather, the skin?

Xiao You pulled out her phone from behind: Rotom

"Beep! Throwing Demon, Fighting attribute, capable of top-notch throwing techniques, with a habit of throwing opponents larger than itself. When the belt is tightened, its strength increases, Loto~!"

It is a Pokémon unique to the Unova region and is not commonly seen in other areas.

Lian Wu's presentation was also very simple and straightforward.

His gaze swept over the twenty-odd students in front of him, and suddenly he waved his hand:

"Now, all of you come at me together!"

"Let me show you the power of the wrestling demon's mind, skill, and body combined!!"

Beside Lian Wu, the wrestling ghost raised his hands, already in a defensive stance.

Upon hearing these words, the students below immediately stirred up a commotion.

Do you want to take on them all by yourself?

The last one to do this was that pale-faced, cloaked, and extremely evil-looking humanoid Pokémon.

"Never mind! Mosquito Coil Swimmer, use your True Qi Fist!!"

One of the trainees was the first to grit his teeth and speak out.

With the first person taking the lead, the other trainees no longer hesitated, and the atmosphere in the training ground instantly became heated.

After all, this is the League's top player.

If you can take them down, the sense of accomplishment will be off the charts! (End of Chapter)
