Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

"Congratulations, Steven. These two Mega Stones are for Aggron and Steelix respectively." Su Yi handed the two Mega Stones to Steven.

There are quite a few Steel-type Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, such as Steelix, Metagross, Aggron, Mawile, Lucario, and Scizor.

Two of them were Daigo's main fighters, and both of them obtained the corresponding Mega Stones. This time, Daigo won big.

"You found these two Mega Stones. I'll only take Aggron's one as an exchange for Charizard's Mega Stone." Steven accepted Aggron's Mega Stone with satisfaction.

Su Yi pointed to several Steelixes lying on the ground not far away and joked, "You can also capture a Steelix on the spot, and after a little practice, you can use Mega Steelix."

Daigo smiled and said, "Then let's forget about it. My team is basically formed. If I want to catch other Pokémon, I will consider some Pokémon that can bring a certain improvement to the team as a whole. Its role overlaps with Aggron's."

"Alright then." Su Yi nodded.

"Ok?"

Even after Su Yi and Daigo put away the Super Stone, Su Yi still sensed energy fluctuations similar to those of a meteorite.

"Anything else?"

Su Yi calmed down and sensed the fluctuations, then looked towards the lava lake.

"No way!" Daigo was incredulous when he saw Su Yi's actions.

Su Yi approached the lava lake and sensed that the thing was hidden in the magma, and the fluctuations it emitted were even more obvious than those of the two super stones.

"This is difficult. How can I search in lava? I don't have any companions that can move in lava. Grilled fish (Lava Dragon) is an option, but I can't tame it in a short time."

Su Yi racked his brains and finally decided that he could only wait until later.

“In the lava, that’s definitely not easy to find.” Daigo saw Su Yi’s gaze and immediately understood Su Yi’s predicament.

"Let's come back later," Su Yi said, since the item wouldn't run away from here anyway.

After that, Su Yi and Daigo immediately returned to where they were.

Once outside the cave, the sky was already filled with stars.

"Has it already gotten to evening without me realizing it? Happy times always seem to pass too quickly." Daigo stretched, looking extremely satisfied.

"Phew, let's go soak in a hot spring again." Su Yi stretched his arms and legs and surprisingly didn't feel tired at all.

"The hot springs in Fumai Town? That's a good option."

At the hot spring resort, Daigo generously booked a large private room and enjoyed soaking in the spring water.

"This harvest is really beyond my expectations. I was just hoping to get some evolution stones, but I didn't expect things to turn out so unexpectedly. I even dug up a Mega Stone, and it just so happens to be Aggron's."

Daigo said with a sigh, "Sure enough, Su Yi, you're really lucky. By the way, how did you discover the super stone hidden deep in the rock wall?"

Su Yi made up a story: "This is my 'treasure radar'."

Daigo immediately said with great interest, "Haha, how about we go dig for rocks in the desert near Route 111 next week?"

"Again?" Su Yi said dejectedly. He hadn't gotten anything useful to him this time either, and Steelix wasn't the Pokémon he wanted to catch.

Speaking of which, he has quite a few Steel-type Pokémon now: Mawile, Corviknight, Aegislash, and Celestial Dragon. It seems he has just as many as Steven's main Steel-type Pokémon.

"There's a legend about the Tower of Phantoms there, which makes me very curious. Some people have even dug up quite a few Pokémon fossils there. Our company's fossil restoration technology is almost ready for testing. If we dig up fossils, it will provide us with more experience in the fossil restoration technology."

"The desert... I remember there's a desert ruin there, where Regirock is sleeping." Su Yi was also a little uncertain.

"What? Are you interested?" Daigo heard Su Yi's low murmur and realized that Su Yi was interested.

"Call me when you come along," Su Yi decided.

The feeling of searching for treasure everywhere was quite appealing to him; he hoped he could actually get some good stuff.

"Are you a challenger? Welcome!" The red-haired female curator, Aysa, greeted Su Yi.

After registration, once inside the battlefield, an old man stood by and acted as the referee.

"Asha, remember to give it your all!" the old man reminded her, as if Asha were the challenger.

Asa is a fledgling dojo master who has just inherited the dojo from her grandfather. She doesn't have much experience yet and is often forgetful, which makes her grandfather very worried.

Then, Yasha's grandfather, Mura, read out the rules and announced the start of the competition.

"Let's finish this quickly!" Su Yi was still thinking about what was in the lava lake when he narrowed his eyes and sent out the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

"Ouch——!"

Having been holding back for so long and not having had a satisfying battle, the Thunder Wolf Dragon suddenly became excited.

However, after the battle, Asha was dumbfounded, looking like she was questioning the meaning of life, while the Thunder Wolf Dragon became increasingly frustrated because it had not gotten a satisfying fight.

"Ah, this..." Mura didn't know what to say either. Sometimes, Aysa would forget her duties as a gym leader during battles.

But this time, it seems the gym leader doesn't need to guide or instruct the challenger, because the challenger is just too outrageous.

The giant wolf Pokémon set up an Electric Terrain and quickly defeated Asha's Pokémon, cleanly and efficiently, leaving her wanting more.

Mura, a former member of the Elite Four, naturally has a keen eye and can see that the Pokémon has outstanding battle abilities and is fully capable of serving as a champion's main force.

It can only be said that the still inexperienced Aysa deserved her defeat.

"Asha!" Mura called out sternly, pulling Asha out of her daze.

"Oh! Right, right! The gym badge!" Asha rummaged around but couldn't find the badge. In the end, her grandfather, Mura, helped her find it.

He hid the dojo badge in the toilet; who could find it?

"This is the Flame Badge, please keep it safe." Asha handed over the badge, but when she looked up, she found Su Yi looking at her thoughtfully.

"W-What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Asha thought hard, her mind racing to see if she had forgotten something.

"Hey! What are you doing, leering at my granddaughter?!" Mura stormed over angrily.

"Uh, I was wondering if lava worms can move around in magma?" Su Yi quickly explained.

Chapter 300 The Unexpected Visitor to Chimney Mountain

"Lava worms can move in magma, but they can't withstand the pressure if they go too deep," Mura explained earnestly after seeing that Su Yi's question was serious.

"Do you know where there are lava worms? Preferably somewhere that's easy to tame," Su Yi asked immediately.

Taming a lava worm is much easier than taming a lava dragon, and the two can cooperate directly, exchanging food for the lava worm's help, without even needing to tame it.

“There are some near Chimney Mountain, but the easiest place to find them is probably the Flame Trail in Chimney Mountain,” Mura said.

"Thank you very much!" After saying goodbye, Su Yi immediately headed towards the vicinity of Chimney Mountain.

When Su Yi returned to Chimney Mountain a day later, he found a large crowd gathered at the foot of the mountain, creating a lively scene.

"What's wrong? Is Chimney Mountain about to erupt?"

Su Yi then found a trainer who was watching and asked him for details.

"I heard that a Moltres flew into the lava at Mt. Chimney last night, and several trainers went up to challenge it. I wonder how it is now," the trainer said excitedly, also showing some eagerness.

"A firebird?" Su Yi was somewhat surprised.

However, Moltres does indeed prefer to inhabit volcanic regions, and it is said that it will fly into lava to burn its body to heal its injuries.

Su Yi immediately became interested. Moltres was one of the legendary Pokémon, but it was much weaker than Lugia.

According to players, Moltres, along with Articuno and Zapdos, is known as one of the three legendary birds. It is a level 2 legendary bird, and it is not the only one. There are multiple Moltres flying around the world, and the strength difference between each of the three legendary birds is also very large.

The three legendary birds near the Orange Islands are known as the Ice God, the Thunder God, and the Fire God. These three Pokémon have a record of severely injuring Lugia, the god of ocean currents, by joining forces.

Ash will command Charizard to defeat an Articuno in the future Battle Frontier.

In other words, apart from the three special legendary birds, the other legendary birds can be defeated by trainers with a certain level of skill.

Su Yi considered his current team and concluded that defeating the Moltres shouldn't be a problem, as long as the Moltres wasn't some extremely powerful special individual.

……

When Su Yi reached the top of the mountain, he saw several trainers coming down looking disheveled.

Su Yi immediately went up to ask the trainers for details about the battle.

"It seems this Moltres isn't too ridiculously strong, and its ability doesn't quite seem like a fire-based creature, so it's even more certain." Having received the information, Su Yi was immediately confident.

What can the oppressive quality do? I laughed when I heard that.

only……

Su Yi looked at the trainers who brought their Pokémon down the mountain. One of the brothers even brought Parasect to challenge Moltres. Wasn't that going too far?

When Su Yi arrived at the mountaintop, a bird-like Pokémon with flame-like feathers was standing on a rock, ready to fight.

"It really is Moltres, but its injuries seem quite severe. How could those trainers injure Moltres like this?" Su Yi was somewhat surprised.

"cry--!"

The flamingo spread its wings and cried out, looking furious; it seemed these uninvited challengers were very irritating to it.

"Those injuries must have been from battles with other Pokémon, which is why it sought out volcanoes to heal its wounds," Su Yi guessed.

However, Su Yi wouldn't take advantage of that; he had come to find out the approximate strength of the Three Divine Birds.

"Changlespin, heal Moltres." Under Moltres's surprised gaze, Su Yi sent out Changlespin to heal Moltres's injuries.

"lucky~"

Chansey used its healing spells to completely heal Moltres's injuries.

"Without realizing it, Chansey's healing speed and effectiveness have improved so much!" Su Yi said with some surprise.

Because I've always been treating those incredibly strong companion beasts, the effects aren't immediately apparent. But when I treat Pokémon, the efficiency really shines through.

"Would you like some energy cubes or take a break?" Su Yi walked over naturally, took out a box of energy cubes, poured out a few, and handed them over.

Having faced even an ancient dragon, the mere oppressive aura of a Moltres was utterly insignificant to Su Yi.

Moltres's eyes regained their alertness.

Su Yi didn't pay any attention, took out a few pills, chewed and swallowed them, and then handed them to the Flame Bird again.

Seeing this, the mollusk picked up a cube with some skepticism and tasted it. It found that the energy cube not only suited its taste but also quickly replenished its energy. It immediately pecked up the remaining energy cubes in a few bites.

Su Yi took a sip of water and smiled, "It looks like the improved spicy energy cubes are a success."

"cry--!"
