You say "Arimasu", because it is not living. You just needed to change sentence structure. It now says "I have one Teddy Bear".

This one raises a question for native speakers, something I had never thought about.
Kids who think their toys are actually alive or their cute teddy bear they talk to and play with, well do they use いる? And would that be acceptable?


降り注ぐ雨 マジで冷てぇ
暗闇の中 歩くしかねぇ
everything’s gonna be okay 恐れることねぇ
辛い時こそ胸を張れ
