Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

Who would have thought that a fish could be countered by water?

Once the mud is removed, it will turn into water, which will then be able to resist water.

Furthermore, even if the mud on their bodies is removed, they can still cover it up with mud.

Furthermore, the mud armor seems to be able to be washed off by some water-type moves (Water Play).

In this way, it will be difficult for the opponent to use type advantage against Mudfish Dragon.

It seems that Mudfish Dragon's moves aren't very good at the moment, and it's unclear what moves it can learn using TM.

"If I could learn Surf and Earthquake, it might not be impossible to use them in Pokémon battles?" Su Yi thought to himself.

Of course, these are things we'll have time to consider later; Su Yi still has missions to complete.

"Let's look for clues first." Su Yi sent out his Pokémon again to search for traces in the surrounding area.

Before long, a discovery was made at Lucao's place.

"Major discovery, meow! It's the hunter's backpack, meow!" Dewgrass waved her paws and exclaimed.

"where?"

Su Yi immediately went over to check.

On the edge of the mudflats, in a patch of flattened grass, a backpack had been trampled into the mud by some big guy.

"This footprint, though somewhat blurry, should be from a ceratopsian, which means they were attacked by a ceratopsian?"

Su Yi pulled the backpack out of the mud, opened it to check, and found that the medicines and other items inside had been crushed, glass shards were mixed in, and the two signal flares were flattened.

“These are thorn fragments.” Su Yi pulled out two white thorn fragments.

"They're investigating Nergigante; it should be the same hunter team led by the investigation squad leader."

As Su Yi spoke, he looked at the haphazardly lying carcasses of the armored dragon, and a picture gradually formed in his mind:

A small team from the investigation team discovered traces of Nergigante, suggesting they may have been attacked by it, but they likely escaped safely in the end.

They then encountered a horned dinosaur not far from here. To escape the horned dinosaur's pursuit, they fled into the swamp and used the armored dinosaurs as cover to escape in a hurry.

"Finally, we have a clue." Su Yi had the guide worm memorize the scent, and then the guide worm drifted towards the north side of the swamp.

"This direction should lead to rocky terrain and desert." Su Yi recalled his Pokémon, then he and Dewgrass rode on Skaven and followed the Scoutfly.

Shortly after Su Yi and his group left, a female Rathalos with multiple wounds flew over and landed cautiously.

It looked at the carcass of the armored dragon in the swamp, and first looked around warily.

Finding nothing amiss, and without showing any disgust at the stale corpses, it quickly opened its mouth and began to tear at the relatively intact thighs.

While eating, the female Rathalos didn't forget to look up and keep an eye on her surroundings.

After eating until she was about half full, the female Rathalos looked at the gloomy sky, then chewed up some relatively fresh meat into a paste, put it in her mouth, and quickly flew away.

……

The scratching bird walked on the yellowish-brown earth, surrounded by huge, undulating rock formations, as if walking through a corridor of rocks.

As dusk fell, the wind picked up, and the swirling sand and dust scraped against the steep, bare rocks, making a whooshing sound.

"Hey bird, please speed things up, the weather's not looking good," Su Yi shouted.

"Coo-woo!" Because of the sandstorm, the scratching bird dared not open its mouth and could only respond to Su Yi with its voice muffled in its throat.

The guide insect led the way, and suddenly, a blue light appeared in the sandstorm.

"Is it another trace of an Elder Dragon or a tempered individual?" Su Yi had no choice but to stop and investigate, as this would determine his next move.

On the rough rock face, two huge scratches, attached to the blue light guide insects, seemed like some kind of announcement.

“It’s that horned dragon,” Su Yi said solemnly.

Traces of a ceratopsian were found along the escape route of the research team, which means they may not have completely escaped the ceratopsian pursuit.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

A fierce wind swept through, and sand and dust howled. Su Yi opened his arms, and raindrops mixed with sand and dust, forming mud spots that fell onto his armor.

The next moment, a torrential downpour began.

Hoo-la-la

The murky rain instantly blurred the view, and all I could hear was the irritating sound of rushing water. The ground beneath my feet began to turn muddy.

The guide worm instantly retracted into the guide worm container.

"This weather isn't suitable for investigation; we need to find somewhere to take shelter from the rain!" Su Yi thought to himself.

Lu Cao gripped Su Yi's backpack tightly to keep her vision from being obscured by the rain and losing sight of Su Yi.

"Damn it! Where can we find shelter from the rain here?" Su Yi quickly looked around.

In the murky rain, surrounded by steep, undulating rocks, it's easy to get lost if you're not careful. In this torrential downpour, it's easy to lose your way.

"Gah!" the bird squawked and scooped up Su Yi and Lu Cao.

"Scratching a bird?" Su Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

The bird didn't squawk, but instead tried its best to make out something in the heavy rain, and then ran quickly in one direction.

Su Yi and Lu Cao were held in the claws of the scratching bird as if they were carrying a solid rock, and then, washed away by the heavy rain, they ran off in a certain direction.

Su Yi only felt the scratching bird running, jumping, landing, turning, and circling around.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yi suddenly felt that the rain had stopped, but the sound of rain had not ceased.

He opened his eyes, which were blurred by the rain, and saw a huge cave in front of him. The ground was covered with dry grass and twigs. Inside the cave, several armored dinosaurs lying in their nests stared at him.

Inside the cave, Su Yi was only wearing a pair of shorts. He used a towel to dry the cat off the rain in front of the campfire.

On the other side, in a large pot, chunks of meat with bones bobbed up and down in the soup with the rising and falling of bubbles.

On the grill next to them, the fat and lean meat chunks sizzled as the rendered fat dripped down.

Ignoring the mud and water on its body, the pheasant pecked open an Ankylosaurus egg, then picked it up and swallowed the yolk. Finally, it smacked its lips, as if it were recalling something.

After Su Yi dried himself off and changed into casual clothes, he and Lu Cao drank some warm meat soup together. Then, while frying eggs for the bird, they ate their fill of roasted meat.

"I'm out of energy, so I can only have a simple meal like this."

Su Yi and Lu Cao finished their fruit juice in one go and breathed a satisfied sigh of relief.

"I never expected you, Scratcher, to find a place like this so easily. Did you live around here before?" Su Yi asked, lying on his sleeping bag and looking at the rain outside.

The Skaven is a bird-type monster that mainly inhabits the Wildspire Wasteland, as can be seen from its earthen-yellow appearance that blends perfectly into the wasteland.

Its main food is the eggs of Ankylosaurus and Rathian. When food is scarce, it will also enter the Ancient Forest to steal the eggs of monsters such as Great Jagras or Herbivorous Dragons.

One theory suggests that the time when the Skaven enters the Ancient Forest generally coincides with the breeding season of the Great Jagras, so it's possible that it comes to the Ancient Forest specifically to steal the Great Jagras's eggs.

It often wanders extensively in search of food, hence the name "wandering collector".

"Gah~" After finishing its fried egg, the bird let out a burp and started talking about the past.

The creature was chased from one end of the swamp to the other by a Barroth, and while carrying its eggs back to its nest, it was ambushed by a Mudfish while crossing the swamp, causing the eggs to break. When it emerged from its nest to forage, it was pried off by a Diablos that had come to eat cacti.

"Stop talking nonsense, that's enough."

Su Yi heard this and burst into tears, while Lu Cao translated it as silence.

"Although it's been a tough journey, I've been able to eat my fill every day since meeting Su Yi, and I've also encountered many interesting things. I feel very happy now, meow."

Su Yi smiled and said, "I'm also very happy to have met you guys."

After tidying up the temporary camp, Su Yi remembered the little mudfish dragon.

"Don't die in my ball." Su Yi released the little mudfish dragon, and then a pair of small, cloudy white eyes stared at Su Yi.

"Uh." Su Yi was taken aback. The little thing was quite unique in appearance. What was that saying again? Its eyes were flashing with a strange light?

Su Yi glanced at the little mudfish dragon, who was also looking at him, its expression unreadable and motionless.

"Scratching bird, did you knock it stupid?" Su Yi asked uncertainly, looking at the broken scales on the little mudfish's head.

"Gah?"

Scratching Bird: Didn't you tell me to mess with it?

"Never mind." Su Yi applied some medicine to the little guy's wounds, then fed him some of the ankylosaurus's internal organs. The little guy finally opened his mouth; anyone who didn't know better would think he had become mentally impaired.

After treating the injuries and confirming that the little mudfish dragon was alright, Su Yi yawned as he listened to the rain outside, then crawled into the tent, wrapped himself in a small blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, in a cave somewhere, the head of the investigation team leaned against the cave wall, looking worriedly at the rain outside.

Beside him, a spear hunter lay on the ground, his hands bound with crude bandages, his spear bent at a noticeable angle, and a horrifying hole in his metal shield.

On the other side, a hunter, who had lost his weapon, lay on the ground, covered in wounds, breathing weakly, with dried blood beside him.

call!

After a long while, a blue raven flew in from the rain, carrying a handful of herbs and a large piece of cactus in its claws.

The captain breathed a sigh of relief. He shifted his body closer and said, "Thanks to you, Blue Raven."

The captain took the herbs, made them into an ointment, then took off his leg guards and applied it to the bleeding wound.

"Wow!" Blue Crow nudged the small cactus.

"Thank you." The captain broke open the tender and juicy cactus flesh, squeezed out the juice, and gave it to his two seriously injured teammates before sharing the remaining somewhat dry fruit with Blue Crow.

"Wah!" Blue Crow looked out at the dark, rainy night, still wanting to go out and look for food.

The captain stopped it, saying, "You've done very well. This weather isn't good for finding food. Let's go out together after the rain stops and see if that black demon has left."

rustling.

Su Yi vaguely heard a rustling sound.

"Meow?" Luca sat up with her ears perked up, but her face still looked sleepy.

"What's that sound?" Su Yi rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the tent.
