Before Natsuhiko could catch up, he saw the two people retreating from the forest, their faces deathly pale.
"Hmm?"
Natsuhiko frowned slightly.
Then he saw it: a creature like a pink plush bear, with a pink head and a black body, walked out of the woods with a blank expression.
It didn't even blink its eyes, which made it look somewhat cute.
Bewear!
"Shhh!"
Following the sound, the shadow of Aegislash appeared by Natsuhiko's side, watching this seemingly harmless cute plush toy with considerable apprehension.
'This thing is trouble! Big trouble!'
It's unclear what had happened between Aegislash and Bewear earlier that made it so wary.
It's important to know that at this moment, Aegislash was in its shield form, so it should have been the bold consciousness taking the lead.
It was the first time Natsuhiko had seen such an expression on a personality like this.
Bewear walked straight towards the two.
The two, however, were retreating frantically, their fear of it surpassing even that of Natsuhiko.
There's no help for it.
The more you know about Bewear, the greater your fear of it becomes.
It's a creature that seems very cute and adorable but possesses extremely terrifying power.
It is said that a Pokémon Researcher, braving immense pressure, once conducted a comprehensive test on a Bewear.
The muscles on its back, when activated, can exert a terrifying force of up to one ton, which can split anything it hugs in half.
And Bewear loves to hug people, Pokémon, and even items into its embrace.
If you're lucky, you'll only be left disabled.
So those Trainers who have Bewear as their Pokémon are either extremely physically fit and won't have their spines snapped by a "spine-breaking hug," or they really have no fear of death.
Because of its overwhelming power, Trainers of Bewear are always troubled by how to get Bewear to control its own strength.
In the Alola Region, Bewear is marked as an extremely dangerous Pokémon.
In places where Bewear lives, the League even erects warning signs.
"Beware! Bear hazards ahead!"
Bewear glanced at the two but didn't give them much thought.
Turning instead to look at Natsuhiko.
Natsuhiko's gaze met its gaze.
The end result was that Natsuhiko couldn't see any emotional fluctuation in Bewear's eyes; it just looked adorably dumbfounded.
Then.
Bewear raised its hand and waved it vigorously at Natsuhiko.
Seeing this action, the corner of Natsuhiko's mouth twitched.
Next to him, Aegislash immediately raised its shield, blocking in front of Natsuhiko.
This type of Pokémon, Bewear, has another significant trait.
When it vigorously waves its arm in a certain direction, do not think it's being friendly or saying hello.
Most people who understand Bewear advise their companions to...
Run!
Run quickly!
Never look back!
Because, to Bewear, this is not a friendly gesture at all, but a show of dominance!
It indicates you have been marked by it.
But can Natsuhiko really leave?
The two Hunters who know about his Pokémon are still alive.
Natsuhiko's face gradually darkened.
"Buyi~~"(*・ω・)ﾉ
Little Eevee also waved its little arms vigorously at Bewear.
Natsuhiko and Aegislash both turned to look at it.
Eevee looked at them, puzzled.
What's wrong?
Saying hello!
Natsuhiko and Aegislash: ...
