Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

Su Yi, focused on finding Pokémon, didn't notice that the Pokémon around him were gradually disappearing.

The scratching bird strode forward, passing the pool.

Just then, ripples appeared in the pool of water beside the scratching bird.

"Roar!" The Pokémon, resembling an alligator snapping turtle, burst out of the pool, its retractable neck suddenly extending as it bit down on the Scratcher with its powerful jaws.

"Caw!" The nimble scratcher quickly dodged to the side.

"What was that?!" Su Yi then realized he had been ambushed.

"There's a cat in the water over there!" Lu Cao, sitting behind Su Yi, immediately noticed the shadow in the nearby pool.

"Loga!"

Sure enough, on the other side of the Scratcher, another Pokémon rushed out of the pool and bit the Scratcher.

"It's a Tortoise!" Su Yi recognized the Pokémon, which resembled a giant alligator snapping turtle.

The scratching bird lived up to its reputation as a nimble thief, managing to evade the ambush of the two ferocious tortoises.

"These two old guys... it seems that whether it's the Monster Hunter world or the Pokémon world, one needs to be careful in the wild." Su Yi took out a Capture Ball.

"Do you think I'm easy to bully? Attack! You ferocious jackal!"

A giant lizard, several meters long, lay across the wetland. Upon seeing an opponent of such size, the two ferocious turtles were both taken aback.

But the ferocious jackal dragon would not hesitate.

"Roar!" The dragon swung its thick forelimbs, its claws outstretched, leaving a sharp scratch mark with its emerald green claws.

"Crack—" The ferocious turtle that was blocking the great ferocious jackal dragon was swept away and sent flying into the pool.

Su Yi's eyes lit up as he realized the difference in this attack; it was different from the previous attack, which simply used dragon-type energy to envelop the claws.

This time, the Great Ferocious Jackal Dragon's claws became even sharper, and its dragon energy was condensed more densely.

"Crack!" Seeing its companion so easily defeated, the other Berserker Turtle began to retreat.

"Roar—!" The ferocious jackal dragon gave a vicious look back, its long tail raised high, with emerald green scales attached to it. In the next instant, the dragon's tail lashed out like a thick whip, striking the monstrous tortoise and causing it to suffer the same fate as its companion.

With a loud splash and a burst of water, the encounter ended cleanly and decisively.

"You perfected the Dragon Claw move and learned the Dragon Tail. Did you ask Emperor Dan's Charizard for help yesterday?" Su Yi asked in surprise.

"Roar!" The ferocious jackal dragon nodded.

"You've gotten a little stronger again, well done!" Su Yi praised.

Not far away, in the bushes, a furtive figure watched as the ferocious jackal so cleanly and efficiently slaughtered the two monstrous turtles, a hint of curiosity and amusement flashing in its cunning eyes.

"Whee!"

Perhaps it's just bad luck, but the Rocket Sparrow and even the Arrowhawk that I wanted to catch are nowhere to be found.

"After all, this isn't a game where you can just run into them whenever you want. Let's not waste time and go back to the Forest of Focus to see those little cuties."

As Su Yi spoke, he unfolded the map of the Isle of Armor that Mash had given him and headed towards the Focus Forest, his first stop when he arrived in the Pokémon world.

The trees in front of him gradually grew taller and denser. Following the route he remembered, Su Yi arrived at the orchard.

"I'm back!" Su Yi called out, and Chansey, which had released its ball, happily shouted, "Lucky!"

"Pickup!"

"Sticky!"

In an instant, more than a dozen or twenty Pokémon peeked out from the trees, bushes, and rocks, and then ran happily toward Su Yi, Dewgrass, and Chansey.

In an instant, Su Yi was surrounded by this group of adorable Pokémon.

"It seems like there are quite a few more Pokémon now," Su Yi said.

These weak Pokémon huddled together and found a way to survive together.

"Oh? There's also Emolga, Florges, and Jigglypuff." Su Yi looked at the various Pokémon with great curiosity.

"Huh?!" Suddenly, Su Yi exclaimed in surprise, then quickly ran to the front of a Pokémon.

"Your characteristic seems to be a body of fire, doesn't it?"

Chapter 19: Another member joins the team, Aya's decision.

The Pokémon in front of me is an insect-type Pokémon. Its head is covered with white fur, it has five red horns on its neck, and it has three pairs of short legs on its chest and abdomen.

"How could I forget? Focus on the forest and the fireflies too," Su Yi suddenly realized.

That's right, the Pokémon in front of him is the Fire/Bug type Flareon, whose final evolution is Volcarona, which Su Yi once mistook for a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

"Chirp!" The Burning Bug was startled by Su Yi's sudden approach. It wasn't one of the Pokémon that Su Yi had initially helped, so it wasn't very familiar with Su Yi.

This clearly startled the burning insect, which let out a cry and ran into the forest.

"I'm sorry! Don't run away!" Su Yi realized he had acted impulsively and immediately chased after him.

Surprisingly, this tiny burning insect, with its little legs twitching, could run quite fast.

"Burning Bug, I didn't mean to hurt you," Su Yi shouted, and the burning bug in front of him ran into a clump of grass.

"Plop!" Soon, the burning insect was knocked out of the grass by something.

"Awooo!" A huge green lizard slithered out of the grass menacingly.

"Great Ferocious Jackal Dragon!?" Su Yi touched his waist, and the Great Ferocious Jackal Dragon's capture ball was still there.

"What's going on?! How is this possible?!" Su Yi stared at the familiar monster before him, his mind momentarily blank.

"Roar!" The ferocious jackal dragon that suddenly appeared before them swung its claws at the terrified burning insect.

"Danger!" Su Yi grabbed the Burning Insect and launched a grappling hook with his other hand, which stuck to a tree. Just as the claws were about to tear his back, the grappling hook pulled Su Yi up to the tree in time.

"Ugh," the burning insect in Su Yi's arms trembled.

"Come out! Great Jagras!" Su Yi threw a capture ball, and the Great Jagras appeared. Looking at its identical kind, the Great Jagras was somewhat surprised.

"Roar!" The ferocious jackal dragon, which appeared for unknown reasons, roared and swung its claws to attack.

Enraged, the ferocious jackal dragon unleashed its claws in a fierce counterattack.

Bang!

The other ferocious jackal dragon was forced to retreat repeatedly.

hum!

With a strange sound, the giant jackal dragon transformed into a black fox Pokémon.

“It’s Zoroya!” Su Yi exclaimed in surprise.

"Was that giant jackal dragon just an illusion? This Zoroa's illusion ability is amazing; it can conjure up a giant jackal dragon that's so much bigger than itself without revealing any flaws."

Su Yi remembered that Zoroark's illusion ability was not very strong and often had some flaws. Its ability to create illusions was far inferior to that of the evolved Zoroark.

"Hehe!" The little fox chuckled slyly, then turned and quickly ran into the bushes.

"Phew, I thought so." Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The ferocious jackal under the tree tilted its head, somewhat surprised by Zoroya's ability to transform.

"Alright, the danger is over. Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Su Yi patted the burning insect in his arms to comfort it.

"Chirp." The burning insect still seemed a little shaken.

Su Yi carried the Burning Insect back to the Fruit Forest, then put it down. Upon seeing this, the Burning Insect vanished in a flash, disappearing to who knows where.

"Sigh, I was too impulsive," Su Yi said regretfully.

"Forget it, let's see how fate brings us." Su Yi put the matter aside and took out the gift he had prepared.

Various fruits and foods were piled together, some from the Pokémon world, some from the Monster Hunter world, and some Pokémon food that I got from Master Ma.

"Everyone, please eat," Su Yi invited.

The little ones immediately cheered, as if it were a banquet.

Just then, several Pokémon that Su Yi was good friends with walked over carrying something.

"This is..." Su Yi looked closely and saw various mushrooms, colorful cones, shiny fragments and other miscellaneous items, and even a precious Leaf Stone.

Su Yi pointed to himself and said in surprise, "For me?"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu handed over the gift.

"Sticky!" Sticky Baby climbed onto Su Yi's head and presented him with the Yuan Qi fragments as if offering a treasure.

"Thank you so much for all the gifts." Su Yi was deeply moved.

These items may not be of much value to these Pokémon, but Su Yi can use some of them to exchange for money, which will become his first source of funds in this world.

For Pokémon-ified Palicoes, healing items and stamina fragments are definitely strategic items, and these things all cost money.

These adorable gifts were a lifesaver for Su Yi in his immediate predicament.

The sun sets in the west, and the evening glow gradually rises.

After a good rest, Su Yi said goodbye to his Pokémon.

"Goodbye!" Su Yi looked at the Pokémon and found that the Flamebug still hadn't appeared.

Immediately, Su Yi put his chaotic thoughts aside, mounted the scratching bird, and prepared to return to the martial arts school.

"Hmm? Why is the backpack a bit heavy?" Su Yi lifted the backpack and felt that the weight was a bit off.

When Su Yi opened his backpack, a white head popped out.

"Burning bugs!?" Su Yi exclaimed in surprise.

"Chirp!" The burning worm shrank its neck.

Su Yi quickly lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect that."

"Chirp~" The burning insect pushed out an orange fruit and offered it up, seemingly to express its friendliness.

Su Yi took the orange and asked somewhat seriously, "Are you sure you want to come with me? The place I'm going to might be very dangerous."

Although the Burning Bug has excellent racial potential, it is somewhat timid and may not adapt well to going on adventures with him.

Although he was looking for a caretaker to help with hatching, Su Yi was also looking for one who could be a partner, so he wouldn't ignore the Pokémon's feelings.
