1. Slap on the leg, 2. Slap on the mouth

Chapter 84 First, a slap on the leg; second, a slap on the mouth.

Hachiku looked completely bewildered.

His mindset can be simply described as shifting from "What Pokémon haven't I seen?" to "I've definitely never seen this kind of Pokémon before."

He simply couldn't comprehend how a mere blacksmith could possess such immense strength.

For a moment, they didn't even realize that their geometric snowflakes had lost their ability to fight.

I only realized what was happening after the referee waved his hand.

"Come back, geometric snowflake!"

After retrieving the geometric snowflakes that were no longer able to fight, Hachiku looked at Xia Mu with a meaningful gaze.

really.

The person who can catch Feng Lu's eye must be quite powerful!

Taking a deep breath, Hachiku suddenly opened his eyes.

"So, my third Pokémon is—"

"Roar towards the screen, White Ice King!!"

"Tundra Bear!"

As the Poké Ball in mid-air suddenly exploded, a tall polar bear appeared before everyone's eyes.

"roar!!"

Looking at the mighty and majestic tundra bear, and then at the little blacksmith, Haruka couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

"What a huge height difference!"

Tundra Bear is already a large Pokémon, with a standard height of 2.6m according to the Pokédex. Not to mention that this Hatchling is obviously stronger and taller.

In comparison.

The blacksmith's hammer wasn't even as long as a tundra bear's arm, let alone the blacksmith, who wasn't even as tall as the hammer.

Compared to each other, they are practically like the difference between Xia Mu and the clay giant.

[Tundra Bear, Ice-type. A ferocious carnivorous Pokémon, known as the "White Devil" in the northern lands and feared by the locals. It attacks its prey with its icy claws and teeth.]

Looking at the information in the encyclopedia, even knowing the little blacksmith's unreasonable strength, Haruka couldn't help but worry about him at this moment.

Unlike Xiaoyao.

Although, judging from appearances, the mere blacksmith is no match for the tundra bear.

But Hammer Girl's amazing performance just now has already shattered Hachiku's understanding of the Pokémon Little Blacksmith.

and so.

At this moment, Hachiku's eyes were filled with solemnity.

With superhuman strength capable of breaking through geometric snowflake reflective walls, coupled with a petite and agile body, even if the team sent out was Tundra Bear, the top player in the second team.

At this point, Hatchku was not entirely confident of victory.

But Hatchku won't give up so easily.

"Stomp again!"

At Hachiku's command, the tundra bear lowered its center of gravity, tensed its muscles, raised its right leg high, and slammed it into the ground.

click!

The ice surface shattered, causing the battlefield to tremble violently.

Simultaneously.

Waves of earthy yellow shockwaves spread from beneath the tundra bear's feet.

It attacked the young blacksmith with astonishing speed.

In just a moment, Xia Mu guessed Hachiku's intention.

Use the heavy stomp to force the little blacksmith to jump and avoid the attack, then attack the little blacksmith in mid-air at will.

They will either be attacked by a heavy stomp on the ground or expose an opening in the air.

but.

Xia Mu had other options.

Use shock waves to counteract shock waves.

"Use slamming techniques on the ground!"

The young blacksmith neither dodged nor avoided the approaching ripples.

The sledgehammer was raised high.

"Clang clang!"

The giant hammer, enveloped in energy, slammed down onto the ice.

boom!!!

The enormous roar not only completely drowned out the sound of the tundra bear stomping on the ground, but the shockwaves generated by the pounding on the ice also collided with the yellowish-brown ripples.

Boom boom boom!

A series of explosions followed, and black smoke billowed from the scene.

The tundra bear, having lost sight of the creature, looked around but could not find the little blacksmith.

Just then.

"Break the rocks!"

"Clang clang!"

The little blacksmith, who had somehow gotten close to the tundra bear's feet, raised his hammer, which was enveloped in fighting-type energy, and smashed it down hard.

"Aww~"

The excruciating pain in its foot caused the tundra bear to let out a miserable cry.

Although the tundra bear finally saw the tiny creature hiding at its feet, it had no interest in the little thing anymore.

Clutching its seemingly swollen and red paws, the tundra bear even had huge tears welling up in its eyes.

Pain!

As the saying goes, the ten fingers are connected to the heart, even though the tundra bear itself has a high tolerance.

However, after being hit by the hammer girl's monstrous strength and the enhancement of her fighting-type energy, it was defeated.

The tundra bear simply plopped down on the ground, its trembling paws outstretched.

"、...

My feet~

It could be said that the appearance of the Tundra Bear at this moment even caused Haruka, who was sitting on the viewing platform, to experience phantom pain.

Thinking back to the excruciating pain she felt when she accidentally kicked a corner in the past, Haruka looked at the tundra bear with eyes full of pity, but the little blacksmith was different.

Before being subdued by Natsuki, he needed to obtain enough metal and a large hammer to protect himself.

The young blacksmith had experienced countless battles.

therefore.

She knew all too well what it meant to "beat a dog when it's down" and what it meant to "not let someone off the hook when they're in power."

The Padia bully didn't even wait for Natsuki to give any more instructions.

After seeing the Tundra Bear sit down on the ground, the little blacksmith swung his hammer, which was wrapped in Fighting-type energy, out again.

Boom!

".....

The tundra bear's large black nose was struck hard, and as its head snapped, its scream was shoved back into its mouth by the hammer.

Even Xia Mu was taken aback by this sight.

The first blow is to the leg to prevent escape.

The second blow is to the mouth, to prevent begging for mercy.

What about the third hammer?

The third strike.

The young blacksmith used the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique directly, his wild swings, wrapped in dark energy, even lifting up nearby ice shards, which then turned to dust moments later.

"Tundra Bear..."

'

It seems like a long time has passed since then.

But in reality, all of this happened very briefly.

Silently crept up to the tundra bear through the black smoke, and then skillfully unleashed a series of attacks.

By the time Hachiku reacted, the little blacksmith's chaotic cloak hammer technique had left the tundra bear unable to dodge.

Therefore, at this moment, Hachiku could only helplessly extend his right hand.

Watching their own bear get beaten up by a little girl.

boom!

The blacksmith only stopped after another heavy blow landed on the tundra bear's little black nose, knocking it backward and causing it to fall to the ground.

"Clang clang!"

He wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

The young blacksmith carrying the sledgehammer looked at the frozen tundra bear lying on the ground, its face bruised and swollen, and incapacitated. He then looked at the large crater that had appeared in the field after a flurry of activity.

"Clang~"

Hemsworth showed the simple smile of an old farmer who had worked hard all year and saw a good harvest.

Wood!

After kissing the sledgehammer, the young blacksmith happily waved to the stunned Xia Mu.

"Clang! (I won!)"

Natsuki:

Xiaoyao:

Hachiku:

to be frank.

The little blacksmith's smooth combo not only stunned the frozen bear, but even Natsuki and the others were shocked by the ferocious and continuous battle.

Not to mention the incredibly absurd scene after the battle, which left Xia Mu and the other two stunned for a long time before they finally came to their senses.

"The Tundra Bear is incapacitated; the Little Blacksmith wins!"

"Since all of the Gym Leader's Pokémon are unable to battle, the winner is the challenger—Xia Mu!"

With the referee's words, the gym battle came to an end.

but.

"Natsuki, are you planning to go to Ottoman City for your next gym?"

As Hachiku handed the Ice Pillar Badge to Natsuki, his eyes were full of anticipation as he looked at her.

"If you're going to Twin Dragons City, I can teach the young blacksmith a new skill..."

Xia Mu always felt that Hachiku was full of bad intentions.

It's as if they feel that since they've been beaten so badly, they want others to suffer the same fate.
