Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

"Where should I go next? There's a grand tournament in Green Town soon, let's set our sights on there." Su Yi opened his Rotom phone and planned his next itinerary.

"Master, could you please go to Petalburg City? My Pokémon have improved quite a bit, and I'd like to challenge the Petalburg Gym on the way," Marnie requested.

Greenwood Town is not far from Petalburg City, and Marie's Pokémon have indeed grown a lot. Several of her Pokémon have evolved, and she even has two Fighting-type Pokémon that can defeat a Normal-type Pokémon from afar.

"Alright, I'll also teach you some dirty, cough cough, practical tricks that will definitely work against Qianli," Su Yi said with a sly smile.

Thousand Miles is a true offensive player, and in a head-on confrontation, Marnie definitely won't have the upper hand. However, by making good use of some Pokémon's status moves, the battle will become much easier.

"It's a long-awaited special training session!" Marie nodded enthusiastically, and her Pokémon, recalling the growth they had experienced through past training, also became excited.

Su Yi chuckled and patted the ferocious jackal dragon: "Now we'll have to rely on you to be their instructor again."

"Roar!" The ferocious jackal dragon nodded, happily indicating: We can all learn from each other. There are a few of their moves that I also want to learn!

"So, before the Grand Contest, our target is Orange Blossom City!"

Chapter 361 Reconnecting the Broken Blade, the Swordsman's Path to Slaying Dragons

On the way to Petalburg City, the deck of the Voyager was very lively. Pokémon were playing happily on the foredeck, while Giratina and Marnie's Pokémon were training on the aft deck.

Seeing that Mary's training was on track, Su Yi nodded and handed over the time to her. If she wanted to become stronger, in addition to training her Pokémon, she also needed to train her trainers.

Afterwards, he found a place to teleport to the back mountain stronghold of the new continent. With the Voyager as a mobile [stronghold], traveling between the two worlds was as convenient as entering and leaving a room for Su Yi.

Today, we need to repair the broken blade of the Dragon Slayer. The workshop has crafted the tools needed to repair the tail blade of the Dragon Slayer, and then Su Yi and the Flying Dragon moved the tools to the back mountain.

"You should have completely tamed the dragon by now, right?"

After setting up the tools, the Second Fleet Commander looked at the still terrifying tail blade of the Dragon Slayer after it was broken, and felt somewhat uneasy.

"It's alright, there are so many companion beasts around," Su Yi reassured. There were Thunder Wolf Dragon, Swift Cat, Barioth Dragon, Sky Dragon, and Black Horn Dragon around, this lineup could even handle Elder Dragons.

The guild leader wiped his sweat: With so many monsters eyeing us, I'm even more panicked. What should I do?

Afterwards, the team leader, now focused on his work, calmed down and began forging.

First, they melted the broken blade in a large furnace, then added high-quality metal ores such as sparrowstone to strengthen it. Next, they had the dragon place its tail blade into a pre-made mold, and finally poured, shaped, forged, cooled, and polished it.

With the help of the companion beast, the tail blade of the dragon was reforged after a series of procedures.

The Dragon Slayer held the still-steaming tail blade in front of him, carefully examining it.

The tail blade had not undergone any fine carving, but because it had been meticulously hammered, the reforged part of the tail blade had very few impurities, gleaming with a pure metallic luster, and the blade surface reflected the sunlight, flashing with a cold light.

The more he looked at the dragon-slaying sword, the more he liked it; it was much more beautiful and sharper than the one he had forged.

"Thank you for your hard work. By the way, you can use these materials to test their properties. They might be useful for the 'Ember Blade' that we'll be forging in the future."

Su Yi took out some Fire Stones, Flame Orbs, and Metal Membranes.

"Oh? These are materials I've never seen before. I'll give them a try then." The leader took the Pokémon items with great interest.

Next, Su Yi took out several move learning devices to teach his companion beasts new moves, and also to let Zhanlong experience the difference between companion beasts and monsters.

In the Pokémon world, some moves are known as god-tier moves. Besides moves like Protect and Substitute that are well-known to gamers, there are also moves that are very useful in the anime, such as Teleport and Double Team.

Instant teleportation goes without saying, a divine skill for dodging, while shadow clones can quickly create several to a dozen clones that can perform the same actions as the original body, thus confusing the opponent.

Although a calm and careful observation, or a Pokémon with special abilities (such as Lucario with its Aura that can detect living beings) can quickly identify the true form, that momentary lapse in concentration is enough to disrupt the opponent's rhythm and even create an opportunity for our side to attack.

This move is especially suitable for Swiftmend that evolves into Umbreon.

The ethereal form of the Moon Nargacuga when it moves is quite similar to its shadow clones, making it difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Combined with the characteristics of the Moon Illusion, it perfectly matches the Swift Cat's assassin-ninja-like fighting style.

Now I have Invisibility (Special Ability), Substitution Jutsu (Substitution), Shadow Clone Jutsu (Shadow Clone), Body Flicker Jutsu (First Strike), Ninja Sword (Wing Blade), and Thousand Needles (Tail Thorn).

Furthermore, inspired by Bonnie's combo moves, Su Yi had an idea for Xunmiao's combo techniques after learning Shadow Clone.

"Swift Cat, let's practice our ultimate moves!" Su Yi said enthusiastically.

"Aww." Xunmiao glanced at the bright sun, the big black cat was lazy and didn't want to move.

Su Yi glanced over and suddenly said, "Haven't you been fighting lately? Have you gained weight?"

"Huh?!" Xunmiao jumped up and looked herself over: Don't talk nonsense, there shouldn't be, right?

Su Yi said with a smile, "Whether you're fat or not, it's always good to exercise!"

Ok.

Xunmiao shook its body and walked over leisurely.

"Let's get started then. Let me tell you, this move is really fun." Su Yi coaxed and tricked Xunmiao into learning the move.

Zhanlong watched from the side, his expression shifting from surprise at seeing Xunmiao use Shadow Clone to shock at being able to barely complete the combo.

It looks very impressive. Is it something I can do too?

"Want to learn? I'll teach you." Seeing that Zhanlong was gradually becoming interested, Su Yi summoned Longshenwan, held it in his hand, and then the sword shone with the brilliant light of a holy sword.

"Combo Slash, Air Blade, Iai Slash, Sword Dance, Sunlight Blade, Holy Sword, and perhaps even Giant Beast Slash in the future—let's advance towards the path of the swordsman!"

Zhanlong was bewildered but impressed by these moves, which he might or might not be able to learn. He was captivated by them and had only one word in his mind: power!

After finishing his daily training, Su Yi returned to the Voyager, where they were now overlooking a vast forest.

"Orange Blossom Forest, oh right, let's send the Treeckoes home for a visit!" Su Yi suddenly thought, letting the Treeckoes who were helping to take care of the Ancient Trees on Isle of Armor go home for a visit. The dojos on Isle of Armor are also [outposts], making it convenient for them to travel back and forth.

Without hesitation, Su Yi immediately teleported to the Isle of Armor, bringing his apprentice, Kuma, and the adorable baby Pokémon along with him. Kuma hadn't been back to the Isle of Armor for a long time, and he brought the two baby Brachydios to ask Master for advice on how to train Fighting-type Pokémon.

Although Su Yi could talk about various martial arts in great detail, he himself had no martial arts combat experience whatsoever.

The reason why Xiong's apprentice was able to comprehend martial arts from the martial arts stories told by Su Yi is because he had the guidance of Ma Shide and had a good foundation in martial arts, so he was able to accept Su Yi's initial teachings.

However, the bear apprentice had little teaching experience and didn't know how to teach the two young shattered dragon brothers who had no martial arts or even fighting foundation.

When it comes to fighting, these two brothers just throw wild, uncontrolled punches.

Su Yi was teleported to the Isle of Armor and headed to the Forest of Focus with Dewgrass, eager to see those adorable Pokémon.

"Chamo!"

Just as Su Yi was about to reach the berry forest where the Pokémon lived, two forest lizards jumped out and stretched out their claws in a fighting stance.

"Forest Lizard? Have those Treeckoes evolved?" Su Yi asked in surprise.

Since there are no Treecko-type Pokémon on the Isle of Armor, it can only be the four Treeckoes he brought.

"Chamo?!" The two forest lizards were initially wary, but when they saw that it was Su Yi, they exclaimed in surprise and happily ran over.

"Chamo~" the forest lizard greeted him happily.

Su Yi smiled and asked, "How's life here?"

The two forest lizards happily recounted their lives here as they led Su Yi and the others into the fruit forest.

As Su Yi arrived, the Pokémon in the berry forest poked their heads out. Upon seeing Su Yi, they cheered and ran over to him, expressing their welcome and how much they missed him.

Chapter 362 The Giant Fruit on an Ancient Tree?

When the forest lizard led Su Yi to the ancient tree, Su Yi was surprised to find that the ancient tree had grown into a tall tree that would take three people to hug.

This growth rate might be reasonable in a new continent with abundant ley line energy, but isn't it a bit...

"Hmm?" Su Yi discovered a tall, pale red mushroom around the ancient tree, with spiral patterns on its cap.

"Gigantamax Mushroom?"

Max-Shredded mushrooms are the main ingredient for making Max Soup, which can activate Gigantamax for certain Pokémon. Using them in battle can boost all of a Pokémon's stats by one level.

Su Yi had previously tasted Max Soup, which was incredibly delicious, no less so than the Mushroom, a specialty of the Ancient Tree Forest. He had even considered preparing some as an ingredient, but it was very rare, and since he was on a trip at the time, he didn't bother looking for it.

Now, more than a dozen trees have grown around the ancient tree, enough to feed him for a long time.

"Chamo!"

At this moment, a forest lizard jumped onto the ancient tree, searching for something among the branches. Then it picked a fruit, jumped down, and handed it to Su Yi.

"What's this?!"

Su Yi was greatly surprised when he saw the fruit. This fruit, the size of a ping-pong ball, was the same color as the Giant Mushroom, and it also had spiral patterns on it.

This thing looks a lot like Dynamax, and Dynamax is related to Dynamaxing.

Su Yi frowned and pondered. After combining the known information, he came to an extraordinary conclusion: "Gigantamax Fungus is related to Dynamax, and it is most likely born under the influence of Dynamax energy."

"While energy points containing Dynamax energy are found throughout most of Galar, why does Dynamax only grow on the Isle of Armor?"

"It's easy to explain by using the New World as an analogy. Ley lines are actually found all over the world, but only the ley line energy in the New World is very strong, and can even give birth to battle-hardened individuals."

"That's because the New World's ley lines are particularly rich and active, and they are very close to the surface where life exists, which is why its influence is so great."

"By this analogy, could it be that the Isle of Armor is a region where Dynamax energy is particularly active, which is why Dynamax mushrooms can grow there?"

"The ancient trees were able to grow so rapidly and even produce fruits containing enormous energy mainly because they absorbed the immense energy here."

"Even because the Ancient Tree absorbs Max Mushroom energy, Max Mushroom energy also flows out from it, which is why so many Max Mushrooms grow here?"

"Unexpectedly, we stumbled upon a place suitable for the growth of ancient trees."

Having figured this out, Su Yi suddenly had a thought and muttered to himself, "Gigantamax mushrooms are edible, so what about this Gigantamax berry?"

"Done!"

Su Yi tossed the fruit to him, caught it in his mouth, and began to chew it. Mmm, it's actually quite sweet!

“It’s no different from tree fruit, and to put it another way, it can be used to make energy cubes.” Su Yi immediately figured out the use of this fruit.

"Chamo, Chamo"

At this moment, a forest lizard was saying something. After Dewgrass translated, Su Yi learned that after the Ancient Tree grew strong, the surrounding berries also became abundant. In addition, with tempting food such as Max-Fountain and Max-Berry, Pokémon from the forest would come to snatch them from time to time.

This also explains the forest lizard's initial wary demeanor.

"Thank you all for your hard work," Su Yi said sincerely.

"Chamo!" The forest lizard proudly flexed its body, showing off how it had also been trained and become stronger.

Su Yi looked at them. The four forest lizards were strong and had rich colors. They looked to be in excellent physical condition. After all, there were plenty of tree fruits here, and the giant tree fruits probably also had a strengthening effect.

"By the way, I was passing through Orange Blossom Forest this time, and now I'd like to take you back to your homeland." Su Yi explained his purpose, and the forest lizards were all very happy, expressing their desire to share the good news with their people and their experiences living here.

At this moment, the Pokémon in the berry forest also heard the news and gathered around, happily sharing the berries they had grown with Su Yi.
