31 Who Said Rats Can't Beat a Bear

"Forward Screech,"

Running towards Ursaring they used Screech, although annoyed Ursaring kept his calm and used Sweet Scent. The pink gas coming out from his fur, thicken the atmosphere around us, making it hard to see.

"Split and brace yourself to use Counter!" Shouting out the command, I took in a deep breath and used Screech in an attempt to remove Sweet Scent. Sadly, the speed I blow it away couldn't keep up with its recovery speed.

*Roar*

Sweet Scent was blown away with Mars' Roar, revealing Ursaring whose body was looking buffed up while he danced in a strange pattern. Two swords appear opposite each other, crisscrossing before fading away.

[Bulk Up, Sword Dance]

Crap!

Ursaring grabbed a handful of rocks off the ground and fling it at Mars, he then charged towards Jeff.

[Fling]

"Sera, Jack, use Hyper Beam. Jeff, use Return," I don't think I need to tell Mars what to do. Hyper Beams came towards Ursaring from his sides, Ursaring slapped them away with Slash before continuing rushing over towards Jeff.

Arriving in front of Jeff, he slapped at him with Slash. Ursaring being double Jeff's height even when Jeff's standing, I'm surprised he didn't around and run away. Instead, he did as I said and used Return, but this being an attack similar to Close Combat, doesn't deal instant damage, it didn't have the power to block Slash especially when under-level.

Being hit by Slash, Jeff was thrown back, his tail affected by Iron Tail uppercut Ursaring. At this time. Mars was only a distance away from Ursaring at this moment, jumping forward he used Super Fang on Ursaring's left shoulder.

Super Fang damage is similar to Bite except it has a powerful effect, it deals damage over time as long as the bite is still locked.

Ursaring about to pull him off with right hand was bitten by Jeff with Super Fang on that arm. Sadly, by the time Sera and Jack arrived Ursaring was able to shake them off, with Mars being thrown into the air.

Midair Mars, pumped out a Hyper Beam at Ursaring who was facing off against Sera and Jeff. Hyper Beam hit Ursaring, as if not enough Jack shot one out as well. Not waiting for the smoke to clear out, Sera and Jeff rushed in.

"Retreat!"

Unfortunately, I was too late. Ursaring slammed an arm into Sera and Jeff blasting them away. Judging from their status, I say they had escaped death... temporarily.

[Hammer Arm]

At least his trump card is revealed.

[No, but it's about to]

???

White light shined from Ursaring's chest as he pulled out his held item. A syringe? Stabbing the syringe into his hand, I saw his eyes redden.

System, please don't tell me it's drugs.

[Answer: Item Toxic Rampage. A man-made item that uses a neurotoxin that boosts a Pokemon overall stats temporarily]

F*ck it's drugs.

[It also gives the Pokemon the status 'poisoned']

*inhale* *exhale*

Seeing Guts and possibly Quick Feet activating, I became uncertain whether or not we can win this battle. However, abandoning my family doesn't sit right with me.

*sigh*

Using Quick Attack I entered the battlefield, the damage dealt to Ursaring should drop his health to 30% if not lower. Although Guts can make him ignore the pain, the damage is still occurring, meaning a few hits are enough. Hammer Arm is a slow attack, if not for being hidden in the smoke of Hyper Beam, Sera and Jeff wouldn't have gotten hit.

Using Focus Energy as I ran, I watched Mars getting slapped away with a Slash while Jack was trying to distract Ursaring.

System what are Ursaring's Racial Abilities.

[Answer: Super Smell, can pick up smells from far away and can even find berries buried deep underground]

Dig's not useful then.

[And Super Strength, a weaker version of Pure Power. It only boosts attacks done with the front legs or hands]

I already established getting slapped will lead to broken bones. Is there no plot armor you can provide?

[...The Pokemon World's System has been updated. Moves gained from level has been modified. Host has learned a new move, Laser Focus. Laser Focus will guarantee a critical hit as long as the user remains focused]

I can work with that, thanks Plot Armor.

Arriving in front of Ursaring he used Slash, the speed surpass Sucker Punch but not my instincts. Protect was used blocking Slash, I use Sucker Punch to hit his leg but that couldn't even push him back. He punched forward with his dark enchanted hand, but I had already jumped back to dodge it.

"Screech!" I shouted.

Two Screechs hit Ursaring's back, he turned around and roar at them angrily. Taking advantage of that I stand up and used Return on his leg. I'm starting to hate my height. Annoyed, he kicked back and I jumped onto his leg and climbed onto his back.

I'm starting to like my height.

My eyes locked onto his back with Laser Focus, Ursaring tried shaking me off while facing off against my siblings, but how could I fall off a Junior Elite when I didn't even fall off a Junior Champion. Using Hyper Fang, I bit into Ursaring's back.

[Critical Hit]

[Host has gained 5 levels]

[Host has learned a new move, Super Fang]

[Host is now level 30]

[Congratulation on becoming a Senior Pokemon]

I didn't even get to do a proper trainer battle with him, who told Ursaring to be so strong.

As Ursaring fell face-first into the ground, I climbed closer to his neck. About to bite him, I stopped realizing the difference in size, my bite might not even reach the spine. Using Scratch to make a deep wound in his neck, I jumped off him.

[Host has gained 2 levels]

[Host has learned a new move, Double Edge. A stronger version of the move Take Down]

[Host is now level 32]

*bang*

Ursaring body hit the ground, we won. Looking at the injured bodies of my family and the two dead ones, I could only sigh in relief the trainer wasn't here. Ursaring only used Slash, Fling, Hammer Arm, Bulk Up, and Sword Dance in that battle and we nearly lost. If Ursaring had used Leer or Scary Face at a critical time we would've lost.

"Good job little brother," Mars said patting my back with his tail as he stood next to me.

"He has already surpassed us," Jack sighed.

"What should we do with them?" I asked staring at the unconscious Sera and Jeff. Although cruel, it's best if I kill them off their experience.

"Kill them," Mars stated.

"But. they're" I stuttered. Even if I thought of killing them, I still hesitated.

"They should die in your hands helping you grow stronger, than in enemies' hands," Mars explained.

"The weak die, the strong survives," Jack said.

"True," I said quietly as I walk towards Sera and Jeff.

Rest In Peace.
