Bea, the Fighting-type Gym Leader of Stow-on-Side in the Galar region.
After losing to Champion Leon in last year's Galar All-Star Championship, she was determined to come to the Armor Isle for training.
That's when she witnessed Son Wuming practicing the Kaio-ken.
Son Wuming was slightly taken aback as he looked at the tanned beautiful young girl kneeling before him.
He remembered that in the original "Dragon Ball" manga, there had never been such a character.
Could she be an extra? Or perhaps a new character from content he hadn't read yet?
Son Wuming carefully observed this girl who couldn't be more than eighteen years old.
She had an extremely cute face, but her solid muscles and the visible six-pack beneath her tank top
clearly showed she had undergone rigorous training.
"Are you also a martial artist? Which school are you from? Turtle School or Crane School?"
Son Wuming asked.
Bea was startled by the question, then replied:
"Um... I'm just a humble student, mainly practicing karate and training with Pokémon."
"Karate? How could such a third-rate martial art possibly make anyone stronger?"
Hearing the girl's response, Son Wuming shook his head.
It seemed this girl was just an ordinary earthling who had never encountered martial arts masters like Master Roshi.
Hearing Son Wuming belittle her fighting style, the teenage Bea pouted in displeasure.
But remembering how he had effortlessly pulverized a mountain earlier, she realized he had the right to say such things.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple."
Bea kowtowed again respectfully.
Although reaching near-Champion level at her age was already quite impressive,
Bea was far from satisfied with this.
She wanted to become stronger, much stronger!
Even stronger than world-class trainers like Leon and Lance!
"Woo woo!"
The bear disciple also called out repeatedly, trying to get Son Wuming's attention.
"...I'm still too weak myself, barely have enough time for my own training, let alone taking disciples."
After a few seconds of silence, Son Wuming shook his head and said.
In this "Dragon Ball" world where planet-busters were a dime a dozen and world-destroyers weren't far behind, Son Wuming wouldn't dare go out unless he reached planet-busting level.
He was still far, far too weak.
Even though Bea was cute and almost perfectly matched Son Wuming's type, he still had no time to look after her.
Bea first looked disappointed, then showed an expression of shock.
To be this strong and still feel it's far from enough? As expected of a master!
After speaking, Son Wuming walked to the beach's edge, twisted his neck, and said with his back to Bea:
"You should go home, I don't have time to teach you."
With that, Son Wuming leaped into the sea.
Today he would swim five hundred laps around this island!
Splash!
However, to Son Wuming's surprise, as soon as he jumped in, the tanned girl also jumped in, following behind him in freestyle stroke, shouting:
"I won't give up! Please let me train with you, Master!"
"Woo-yah yah!"
The bear disciple also jumped in with all its might, swimming behind them both, as if saying "Me too, me too!"
Son Wuming couldn't help but laugh, thinking this girl was naive, stubborn, and cute, just like the little bear behind them.
Well, let's see how long they can keep this up.
Then, Son Wuming turned his head back forward, while Bea and the bear disciple swam with all their might to keep up.
To Son Wuming's surprise, the little bear couldn't hold on after just one and a half laps.
Though it tried to persist through gritted teeth, its body gave out and it sank into the sea.
Seeing this, Son Wuming picked it up with one hand and let it lie on his back.
Might as well use it as weight training.
Bea, gritting her teeth as she swam on the right, looked even more amazed.
To swim so effortlessly while carrying a Pokémon, truly worthy of being called master!
However, she didn't know what expression she would make if she knew Son Wuming was wearing 300kg of weighted equipment while swimming.
It had to be said, Bea's stamina was truly terrifying for a normal person.
She managed to follow Son Wuming for three full laps around this island that was comparable to a small city.
This physical condition even surpassed that of lower-level Pokémon!
However, by the fourth lap, she really couldn't hold on anymore, her legs gave out and she was about to sink into the sea.
"Cough cough!"
Bea could no longer feel her limbs, seawater started flooding into her nose and mouth, her vision completely enveloped by the blue ocean.
"Good grief."
Son Wuming rolled his eyes, dove into the sea, and pulled Bea out in less than three seconds.
"So weak, yet so stubborn."
Son Wuming carried Bea princess-style onto the beach, shaking his head helplessly.
Having regained consciousness, Bea felt a bit wronged.
You're the one who's abnormally strong!
"You stay here and look after her."
Son Wuming instructed the bear disciple, then turned and jumped back into the sea to continue swimming.
Though Bea wanted to say stubbornly that she could still continue, her limbs were completely immobilized from exhaustion, and she could only watch as Son Wuming swam past at high speed.
10 laps... 20 laps... 30 laps...
Son Wuming kept swimming until dusk, leaving Bea dumbfounded.
She knew there were all kinds of humans with special abilities in the Pokémon world.
Like the Dragon Master ability of Lance's family in the Johto League, which could develop rapport with Dragon-type Pokémon faster and accelerate their growth.
The psychic powers of Unova Elite Four member Caitlin, with her formidable offensive and defensive combat abilities.
The legendary Viridian powers that only appear once every decade in the Kanto region.
Besides these, there were also Aura powers, the power of Transcendence, and so on...
However, none of the abilities Bea had heard of were as monstrous as Son Wuming's before her eyes.
How many hundreds of laps had he swum?!
Thinking this, Bea became even more determined to become his disciple.
It wasn't until evening that Son Wuming finally came ashore.
Seeing the girl still unable to move but maintaining that stubborn look in her eyes, he couldn't help but smile.
"Gurgle~"
Suddenly, Bea's stomach let out a thunderous protest.
Though she had a tough personality like a boy's, she was still a teenage girl in her youth.
Making such a sound in front of others made her tanned face turn bright red with embarrassment.
Son Wuming couldn't help but laugh, somewhat painfully taking out a bean from his system and offering it to Bea, "Here, eat this."
That plain-looking bean was none other than a Senzu Bean!
