Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

“Yes, that was true, but later the hunters they were following returned to the old road, and they went back with them, meow,” Dewgrass said.

"Then why didn't you go back?"

"Because I love adventure, meow! My parents went back to the Old Continent, which is basically their retirement, meow, and I want to see more of this new continent, meow!" Luca said, her words filled with a desire to explore the unknown.

All I can say is, it's typical of cats, isn't it?

"So that's what your background is, Aibo. Now, let me ask you, why is your name Lucao?" Su Yi asked curiously.

"Actually, it's nothing, meow. My parents encountered Anjanath when they went out to investigate with the hunters, and they were injured along with the hunters, meow."

"In the nick of time, it was the healing dew grass on the plains that saved their lives, meow."

"Later, Dad told me that even if you're as inconspicuous as the dewdrop by the water, you can still play a crucial role in life and death, meow," Dewdrop recalled.

Su Yi exclaimed, "aibo, you are my reply dew grass!"

Since meeting Lu Cao, he has saved Su Yi's life at crucial moments more than once. Although he is not strong in combat now, Su Yi believes that he will have a day when he will make a name for himself.

Chapter 89 Meeting with the Third Fleet

Due to the unique topography, the closer one gets to the edge of the Coral Plateau and the towering cliffs of the canyon, the more difficult and treacherous the road becomes.

"My god, is this thing safe?" Su Yi stood on the edge of the terrace, and to reach the next terrace, he had to go through a long cable car.

This man-made cableway connects the edge of the plateau to the next plateau with a rope that is too far for land monsters to jump across.

Further afield, you can see the airship that crashed on the edge of the canyon.

No wonder the Third Fleet was able to survive here for twenty years; unless you're a flying monster, there's absolutely no way to get there.

Moreover, prey is scarce here, and flying wyvern monsters such as the Wind Dragon and Pink Rathian do not consider this place their hunting ground.

"Aibo, I think you should go back into the ball for now." Su Yi approached the edge, looked down at the endless abyss shrouded in miasma, and swallowed hard.

The look of shock and rage on the face of the Ferocious Clawed Dragon when it fell off the plateau is still vivid in my mind. At that height, the corpse of the Witcher who was killed by the fall could circle the Coral Highlands two and a half times.

Dew Grass also poked its head out and looked down at the edge of the terrace. The stones at its feet were kicked down, and the miasma, as if from the underworld, didn't even cause a ripple.

Lucao swallowed hard and said, "Be nice, meow."

After retrieving the dew-covered grass into the ball, Su Yi took a deep breath, hooked the grappling hook onto the cable, and then took a running start and leaped out.

Waaaaah!

The hook and cable rubbed against each other, making a rapid clanging sound. Su Yi was suspended in the air, sliding rapidly towards the platform on the opposite side.

The wind whipped against his face, Su Yi's heart pounded, and his muscles tensed. He glanced briefly at the bottomless valley of miasma below before immediately withdrawing his trembling gaze.

In the distance, at the sentry post of the Third Fleet airship, a hunter looked through binoculars and said in surprise, "Where did those hunters come from?"

pat!

Su Yi had never felt so reassured by the feeling of being grounded.

Su Yi, who had just arrived on the other side, released the dew grass, and several people disembarked from the airship in the distance.

Su Yi patted the capture ball at his waist and muttered, "It's time to start making formal contact with the investigation team."

"It's Master Haruno, meow!" Lucao waved and greeted the newcomer, who was none other than Master Haruno.

Master Yuanye stepped forward, patted Su Yi on the shoulder, and then carefully examined him.

"You rascal! It's good that you're not hurt. I was a little worried about you after you were gone for so long. How are you?" Master Yuanye breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

Su Yi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Haha, it's nothing serious, I just had a date before coming here."

Thinking that Master Yuanye was still worried about his safety, while he had been leisurely in the Pokémon world for a while, Su Yi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"A date?" Master Yuanye was taken aback. There were no other humans on this Coral Plateau, were there?

The thought that some people might use ambiguous terms to describe monsters and encounters with them made her expression turn somewhat strange.

Master of the Wilderness: You better really mean dating.

Su Yi: What else?

Su Yi didn't notice the strange look on Master Yuanye's face for a moment, and continued, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much about me. My partner and I are quite reliable."

Master Yuanye's expression turned serious, and he asked earnestly, "So, you've captured the Nargacuga?"

The two hunters behind her looked on incredulously. How could this young hunter with such poor equipment have captured a Nargacuga?

Su Yi scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "We've captured her, but Xunmiao has a rather volatile temper, so it's best not to let her out for now."

Wilderness Master: You've already picked out a name?! And you still say you're not a monster lover?!

"Incredible! They actually captured the monster!" Master Yuanye exclaimed. Using the monster's power to fight other monsters seems to be much more efficient than hunting with ordinary hunters.

Hunters need to spend a long time preparing, tracking, and battling those powerful monsters to defeat them.

This young man, who isn't even a formal hunter, has managed to single-handedly form a hunting party by virtue of his ability to tame monsters.

“Let’s talk about it at the base first. I’ll introduce you to the leader of the Third Fleet; she’s very interested in you,” Master Yuanye said.

The Third Fleet's giant airship, attacked by the Wind Dragon, crashed headfirst into the canyon.

Inside the airship, the complex facilities have been modified to suit this inclined structure.

Upon entering the airship, a faint scent of incense filled the air, and Su Yi looked around curiously.

Many elderly dragon-human scholars were conducting research or making records in their respective positions.

Most of the seats had small incense burners with wisps of smoke rising from them, supposedly influenced by the group leader who loved incense.

"There's a very strong research atmosphere," Su Yi said.

The dragon-human researchers were completely oblivious to Su Yi and his group, engrossed in their research, as rows of bookshelves filled with books and experimental tables set with various instruments and equipment.

Although isolated in a corner of this plateau, their academic enthusiasm remained undiminished.

“This place is paradise for them, and of course, it is for me too,” Master Yuanye said with a smile.

As you walk up the wooden steps, diagonally upwards, you can see moonlight streaming through the skylight and illuminating the Third Term Flag hanging above.

Beneath the banner, a beautiful dragon-human woman sat gracefully surrounded by books, holding a small metal incense burner in one hand, quietly watching the approaching group of people.

"Captain, this is the amazing kid I told you about," Master Yuanye introduced with a smile.

"Oh? It's you? You look very young."

"I am the leader of the third expedition of the New World Survey Team. Welcome to our research base," the elegant dragonwoman said softly.

Su Yi looked at the person in front of him.

Although dragonmen and humans are similar, they also have many differences.

Their long lifespan has been mentioned before, and in terms of appearance, their noses are more prominent, their ears are long and pointed like those of elves in Western fantasy worlds, they have only four fingers, and their feet resemble the claws of some kind of beast.

The dragon-human leader in front of them had black hair tied up at the back of his head with a hairpin, and three red marks on his left forehead.

Although the long robe had faded and become somewhat worn due to research, it did not diminish the owner's good looks.

"Hello, my name is Su Yi. I'm an outsider, an adventurer, and a Pokémon trainer."

"This is my partner, Dewgrass. She's an Elf Cat from Starry Sky Outpost. We met by chance and are currently exploring this continent together," Su Yi introduced.

"Meow!" Dewgrass waved her paw.

The Dragonman leader nodded and said, "I've heard about your situation from Master Yuanye. I didn't expect that we weren't the only new guests on this new continent."

"Compared to your origins, I'm actually more curious about what Master Yuanye said about your technique of capturing monsters into small balls and your ability to tame monsters. Could you show me that?"

The dragon leader leaned forward slightly, a look of great interest on his face.

Chapter 90 Meeting and Exchange

Su Yi thought for a moment and took out the Scratcher's Capture Ball.

"Come out, Scratcher." Su Yi opened the Capture Ball, and a beam of light shot out, transforming into the shape of a Scratcher. Then the light dissipated, revealing the Scratcher's true form.

The battalion commander, who had been watching the entire process, suddenly widened his eyes in surprise and was speechless for a moment.

"A monster!?" The two hunters behind Master Yuanye gripped their weapons in shock upon seeing the suddenly appearing tarantula.

Master Yuanye reached out and stopped the hunter, shouting, "Calm down!"

“But…” The hunter pointed to the scratching bird, this suddenly appearing monster, which left them somewhat at a loss.

"You're quite surprised, aren't you? When I first saw it, I couldn't believe my eyes either," Master Yuanye said with a smile.

“It’s a scratching bird. Is this one of your companions?” Master Yuanye boldly stepped forward to observe it closely.

“Yes, it’s one of my earliest companions.” Su Yi patted the bird and reassured it, “Don’t be nervous, I’m here.”

The slightly tense scratching bird relaxed and curiously observed its surroundings.

"Incredible! That ball in your hand can actually hold a monster inside. With my current understanding, I can't comprehend it." The leader stood up and walked to the scratching bird.

"Can I touch it?"

“Okay.” Su Yi nodded.

The dragon-human leader reached out and stroked the scales on the scratching bird's body, then touched the feathers on the scratching bird's elbow.

“I can’t believe it, but it really happened, so it’s true. Can I see the ball?” The team leader turned to Su Yi and said.

“No problem.” Su Yi handed over the bird-catching ball.

Like Master Haruno, the team leader carefully examined the structure of the capture ball, but neither of them could figure it out.

"Is this really a product of an ancient civilization?" the leader murmured.

She wasn't unfamiliar with the technology of ancient civilizations, but they were all traceable. Although she didn't understand some of the materials or mechanical principles, she at least knew what their functions were.

But she couldn't make out anything about the small sphere in front of her, which made her wonder if this thing could really be created by humans.

Su Yi shrugged, indicating that he knew nothing.

"It's a magical treasure, but your ability to tame monsters is also quite amazing." The captain returned the capture ball to Su Yi.

Su Yi: No, I didn't!

In fact, if it weren't for the cheat code that gave the monsters intelligence, it would be extremely difficult to communicate and cooperate with them.
