Compared to Meowha and Tyranitar, the newly evolved Urshifu wasn't much larger than an ordinary member of his species.
Of course, Urshifu were uncommon, and the only individuals available for comparison were Bear Dad and Bear Mom, far away on the Isle of Armor.
But the sheer concentration of his aura surpassed even that of his other companions.
After all, his evolution had taken ten times as long as an ordinary Pokémon's. Like Nezha, who had only been born after three years in the womb, there was no way he could be ordinary.
As for why he stood only a little over two meters tall, just slightly above the Pokédex average of 1.9 meters...
Xia Chi suspected it had something to do with Urshifu's genes.
After all, he practiced martial arts. Too much bulk would affect his agility.
A-rank power and speed were the way to go!
Even so, the transformation from Kubfu to Urshifu was enormous.

There was no helping it. Pokémon evolution was just that miraculous.
The moment he opened his eyes, Urshifu looked straight at the Trainer who had been waiting by his side all along.

Urshifu felt terrifyingly strong now!
He couldn't help letting out a soft breath.
No. I can't get carried away.
There's always a stronger bear, always a higher peak.
At least compared to those
