Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Fierce Battle with Ursaring

"Damn it! That Ursaring stood up again!"

"Its eyes turned blood red, is it in a berserk mode?"

"Can our lord still beat it?"

Watching Ursaring stand up again, its aura even more intense than before, the players couldn't help but worry about Ryan.

Ryan, on the other hand, looked at Ursaring with a serious expression, a lot of doubt in his mind.

He had clearly defeated Ursaring, so why could it still stand up, and why did its condition look even better than before?

Could it be a characteristic?

But both of Ursaring's characteristics could only be triggered when it was in an abnormal state, and they only increased attack and speed, not allowing it to enter a berserk state.

Before Ryan could finish thinking, Ursaring had already broken free from the Sticky Glob and lunged fiercely at Scyther.

"Dodge quickly!"

Ryan quickly commanded.

Scyther dodged the attack with a quick sidestep. Ursaring's sharp claws landed on the tree behind it, directly snapping the large tree in half.

"Its attack power is much stronger than before!"

With this level of attack power, Scyther could withstand at most two hits, and the third might directly incapacitate it.

"No, can't let it hit, use Double Team!"

Scyther moved rapidly, creating several afterimages, making it difficult for Ursaring to distinguish the real body.

"Roar!"

Ursaring indeed didn't know which shadow to attack, so it shifted its target and swung a claw at Aron.

Aron didn't have the reaction speed of Scyther and took the hit squarely. Its small body was directly sent flying.

"Aron, are you okay?" Ryan asked anxiously.

"Koko!"

Aron got up from the ground and nodded at Ryan, indicating that it could still fight.

Earlier, it had used Harden to increase its defense, and Slash was a Normal-type move, so the damage to it wasn't too great.

Seeing that Aron was fine, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned his head, he saw Ursaring attacking him.

He immediately took out a Sticky Glob and threw it at Ursaring, hitting it accurately once again.

But this time, the effect of the Sticky Glob wasn't good. It only trapped Ursaring for a moment before its huge claws swung down at Ryan.

"Sha!"

In a critical moment, Scyther stood in front of Ryan, blocking the attack for him.

"Scyther!"

The powerful force of the bear claw directly made Scyther kneel on the ground. It wanted to turn around and counterattack, but Ursaring's next attack was already coming.

Just as it was preparing to withstand another attack, a Poké Ball hit Ursaring, drawing it into the ball.

"Quick, go! The Poké Ball won't hold it for long."

Ryan pulled Scyther and dodged to the side.

And the Poké Ball indeed failed to hold Ursaring. After only a second or two, it broke free.

"Roar roar!"

Ursaring was now extremely angry. It hadn't taken this weak human seriously at first.

But this human kept throwing strange things that hindered its movements.

So, it decided to tear this human apart first, and then deal with the other Pokémon.

Ryan also saw the malice in Ursaring's eyes and knew that it had made him its target.

So, he said to Scyther:

"Don't protect me later. I have my own way to dodge its attacks. You focus your energy first and listen to my commands later."

"Sha!"

Scyther wanted to refuse. It didn't want Ryan to take this risk, but after seeing Ryan's determined gaze, it nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Scyther had entered the Focus Energy state, Ryan took out another Poké Ball and taunted Ursaring:

"Little bear, want to try another one?"

Ursaring, already burning with anger, couldn't stand such provocation and directly raised its claws to strike Ryan.

Seeing this, Aron immediately ran over to help block, but Ryan stopped it.

"You can't withstand much damage right now, use Harden to increase your defense first."

After Ryan finished speaking, he threw the Poké Ball in his hand at Ursaring. Taking advantage of the few seconds it was trapped, he once again increased the distance between himself and Ursaring.

When Ursaring broke free, Ryan took out another Sticky Glob and threw it.

Although the effect was worse than the second time, only causing Ursaring's movements to pause twice, it still allowed Ryan to narrowly dodge Ursaring's attack.

"Roar roar!!"

Having been trapped twice again, Ursaring's mind was filled with rage. It didn't care about anything now, it just wanted to flatten the human in front of it!

Even though Scyther had finished focusing its energy and started attacking it, it ignored everything and single-mindedly chased after Ryan.

Seeing the distance between them getting closer and closer, Ryan threw another Poké Ball backward, but this time Ursaring had learned its lesson.

It grabbed the Poké Ball, preventing the lid from opening, and then crushed it with force.

"I'll be damned, that works too?"

Seeing this, Ryan had no choice but to run towards Aron.

"Aron, Rock Tomb!"

Aron threw several rocks, slightly slowing down Ursaring's movement.

By the time Ursaring broke free from the rocks, Aron had already arrived in front of Ryan, blocking one of Ursaring's attacks for him.

"Can't let it use us as targets, directly use Headbutt!"

"Koko!"

Aron ran forward with all its might, jumping and headbutting Ursaring in the stomach.

Ursaring was pushed back a few steps by the impact, then stabilized its body and swung its claws downwards.

"Bang!"

The powerful force directly slammed Aron to the ground, and even cracks appeared in the ground.

The knocked-down Aron tried hard to get up, but its injuries were too severe. It tried several times without success and finally fainted, losing its ability to fight.

"That move wasn't Slash, it's the Fighting-type Brick Break!"

Seeing Ursaring incapacitate the Aron, which had increased its defense multiple times, with a single blow.

Ryan finally realized that Ursaring was using the Brick Break move, which could deal four times the damage to Aron.

"How did it learn the Brick Break move?"

Before Ryan could think further, Ursaring's giant claws attacked again.

This time, Ryan had no other means to dodge the attack. Fortunately, Scyther reacted quickly and blocked the attack for him once again.

But Scyther was a Pokémon with high attack and low defense. These two attacks had caused it great damage, and it could barely stand now.

"Scyther, can you still hold on? If not, we'll retreat first."

Ryan had previously formulated multiple retreat plans. If Scyther couldn't fight anymore, he was confident he could still escape.

"Sha!!"

Scyther nodded firmly. As long as it had a sliver of strength left, it wouldn't run away.

Ryan also understood Scyther's unyielding personality, so he said to it:

"Okay! Then let's fight it! It's also taken a lot of damage before, it probably won't last much longer either."

Looking at the panting, scarred Ursaring, Ryan felt they still had a chance of winning.

Scyther had already used Fury Cutter twice in a row. If it could hit this time as well, its power would be enough to completely defeat Ursaring!

"Let's bet the result on this last hit! Go, Scyther, finish it with Fury Cutter!"

Scyther flew forward quickly, the cold light of its raised blades flashing.

Ursaring also swung its giant claws, fiercely slamming down at Scyther.

To ensure the move hit, Scyther didn't dodge but directly took the attack head-on, while simultaneously slashing its blades fiercely downwards.

"Roar!"

"Sha!"

As the moves collided, Scyther was directly sent flying backward, its body slamming into a tree, losing its ability to fight.

And Ursaring also fell to the ground, once again motionless.

"This time... it should be defeated, right?"

Ryan's eyes were fixed on the Ursaring lying on the ground. He had used all the means at his disposal. If it still didn't work, he could only take his Pokémon and run.

"Roar!"

But the worst-case scenario still happened. The Ursaring got up again, staggering towards Ryan.

"What deep hatred do you have for me? You're so injured and you still want to fight me. Looks like I have to run first."

Just as Ryan was about to recall his Pokémon and escape, a purple figure spun and crashed into Ursaring's head.

This blow knocked down the already weakened Ursaring again, causing it to fall heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, Ursaring lay motionless on the ground, completely still, while the purple figure happily bounced up and down on its belly.

"Moneji mone!"

"That's... Steenee?!"
