Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

"Can you tell me what happened?" Su Yi squatted down and asked softly.

Dujianshe stepped forward, unfurled his ribbon, revealing a crumpled dessert wrapper inside.

"Wrapping paper?" Su Yi was a little confused.

He drew his dented blade from the scabbard and drew something on the ground.

After looking at it for a while, Su Yi realized that the drawing looked like a train.

"A train? A ghost train?" Su Yi suddenly recalled that before boarding the ghost train, his Rotom phone had captured a brown figure and a blue ribbon.

"You... you chased all the way from the ghost train?" Su Yi asked incredulously.

"Hmm~" The single sword sheath swayed, as if nodding.

"Do you... want to come with me?" Su Yi asked uncertainly.

But the single sword sheath hesitated. Now that things had come to this, it became indecisive and dared not respond.

"Nia." The cat leader nudged it.

The sword sheath turned to look at it, only to find that all the Pokémon in the abandoned factory had surrounded it, making sounds as if to encourage it.

"Sing!" The single sword sheath mustered its courage and floated forward.

"Want to come with me?" Su Yi couldn't believe it; a Pokémon had actually followed him all the way, wanting to become his partner.

He could picture a Pokémon, unfamiliar with the place, searching aimlessly in a bustling metropolis, utterly alone and helpless.

"Sing!" The single sword sheath swayed its body.

Su Yi took out a Poké Ball with a serious expression, held it out in front of the sword sheath, and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Hoo~" The sword sheath moved forward without hesitation, touched the switch of the Poké Ball, and was immediately put into the ball.

Deng!

Without any complications, the taming was successful.

Su Yi released the scabbard of his single sword.

At this moment, the Pokémon inside the abandoned factory cheered, as if congratulating the sword sheath.

"A soft murmur" The sword sheath looked at the group of Pokémon with emotion.

Mary pondered for a moment and said, "Are they blessing the scabbard so that it will no longer have to wander?"

Su Yi picked up the scabbard and carefully wiped it clean with a cloth, but he didn't know how to repair the damage on the scabbard and the blade.

Su Yi looked at these wandering Pokémon. Perhaps, as Marie said, these Pokémon knew the hardships of wandering in big cities, which is why they wished for the Pokémon to find a trainer.

"That's great! Congratulations on catching your new Pokémon. It seems to really like you," Nemo said with a smile.

"Chirp." Three bears came up and apologetically handed over their collectibles: an unused Poké Ball, some berries, and some shiny, pretty shards.

"For me?" Nemo asked in surprise.

"Chirp." Straight Bear nodded.

Nemo sensed their sincere apology and smiled, "I accept your apology."

Just then, Nemo's Rotom phone popped up, indicating that she had a call coming in.

"Hello? Okay."

After finishing the call, Nemo sighed and said to Su Yi, "Su Yi, although I really want to continue our match, I'm busy right now and I don't know when I'll be free. I'm really sorry I can't bring you a great match."

"It's alright," Su Yi said with a smile, although it was indeed a bit frustrating to have the battle interrupted.

“Let’s exchange contact information. Maybe we’ll have another chance later,” Nemo said.

Su Yi took out his Rotom phone and exchanged contact information.

"Goodbye then!" Nemo waved and hurriedly left, looking at her phone's navigation.

"It's such a shame that such an exciting battle has come to an end," Mary said regretfully.

The intense, thrilling battle, even without the use of Galar's signature Dynamax, was incredibly awe-inspiring.

As the sun set, Su Yi and Marie left the abandoned factory amidst the farewells of their Pokémon.

"Meow! Do those Pokémon also look forward to going on adventures with humans, meow?" Luca asked.

Su Yi said, "Perhaps. Some Pokémon embark on journeys because they want to become stronger, want to travel, want to battle and live with their trainers, and so on."

"Some Pokémon prefer to stay with their pack and live a peaceful and leisurely life."

“But no matter what, I will respect Pokémon’s decision. We all have the right to choose,” Su Yi said.

"Morbeko, do you want to fight alongside me and become stronger?" Mary asked Morbeko in her arms, looking down at Su Yi's words.

“Mobei!” Morubek nodded and responded with a smile.

“I will continue to grow stronger, and then I will challenge you,” Mary said calmly.

Su Yi smiled. Today's battle had clearly spurred the girl on; it was evident that she was eager to become stronger.

After parting ways with Mary, Su Yi found Onio alone on the rooftop, lost in thought.

"Oh? You caught a new Pokémon?" Onio asked, looking at the single sword sheath that Su Yi had released.

Su Yi recounted the process of subduing the single sword sheath.

"Followed the ghost train all the way here, then sought help from the stray Pokémon, and finally found you?" Onio said in surprise.

"That's right. Rather than saying I subdued it, it's more accurate to say it found me."

"As for this little guy, I don't know his specific thoughts yet, so I'd like to ask you to inquire about it," Su Yi said.

"Is that so? Let me communicate with it." Onio nodded and began communicating with the monocle sheath.

After finishing his conversation, Onio remained silent for a while before saying to Su Yi, "The Ghost Train will send Ghost-type Pokémon to their final resting place. However, Ghost-type Pokémon are not immortal; those Pokémon nearing death also have their own final resting place."

Su Yi frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Onio said in a low voice, "Once the body of the monocle begins to deteriorate and decay, it is a sign that it is gradually approaching its demise."

"The station where Saber Sheath should have gotten off was the Sword Tomb, the place where the Saber Sheath Pokémon, whose bodies were broken and whose souls and essences were beginning to leak out, finally rested."

"It wants to see the world before it dies completely," Onio said in a somber tone.

Su Yi picked up the single-edged sword sheath, his eyes turning serious: "Is there a way to repair it?"

Onio paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know, but there should be a way. If we have materials that contain life force or energy, it might be possible."

Su Yi murmured, "Materials containing life force or energy."

"Then can I..."

Su Yi's eyes lit up, and a bold yet possible idea popped into his mind.

"The single sword sheath might hold a way to completely repair you and give you a new life!" Su Yi said earnestly.

"A chant?!"

Chapter 110 An Unexpected Encounter with the Director of the Institute of Plant Physiology

Although there are ways to recast the metal, it is not feasible at present.

This requires not only suitable materials, but also the help of Star Base.

"It's only been a little over three days. Master Yuanye shouldn't be back at Starry Sky Stronghold anytime soon, but I should still go back to the Ancient Tree Forest and take a look," Su Yi thought to himself.

At night, Su Yi didn't wander around. Instead, he stayed in his room and used all the skill machines he had bought to enhance the abilities of his companion beasts.

As Su Yi taught them moves one by one, he would also sigh with things like, "Why can't Garchomp learn Dragon Dance?"

A bright, sunny morning in the New World, in an ancient forest.

Accompanied by the melodious chirping of birds in Taoyuan Township, Master Su began his busy day.

Herbivorous dragon meat has a snowflake-like marbling of fat and lean meat, and simply grilling it is a culinary delight and a satisfying experience.

Garnish it with a secret sauce from the Taiwanese performing arts community to make it even more tempting.

After breakfast, the accompanying animals basked in the sun contentedly.

However, compared to other companion beasts, the Great Jagras and Odogaron, which spend most of their time in the Miasma Valley, prefer the shade of trees.

But Master Su's task was not yet complete. He placed a large bowl of roasted meat on the tablecloth and took out a capture ball with a troubled expression.

Under the protection of the Odogaron and the Great Jagras, Su Yi released the Swift Cat.

"Hey! Come and eat!" Su Yi said, pointing to the roasted meat.

Xunmiao didn't attack Su Yi. Instead, it looked around at the familiar environment with surprise and doubt, as if wondering how it had returned to the Ancient Forest so quickly when it was clearly in the Coral Highlands.

It glanced at Su Yi, then walked to its food bowl, turned its rear end towards him, and began to eat heartily.

Su Yi sighed. Although he still ignored him, it was a good thing that he wasn't hostile towards him. It would take some time for Xunmiao to accept him and fight alongside him.

After finishing its meal, Xunmiao ignored the other companion beasts and Su Yi, and instead hid in the shade of a nearby tree.

"It's sunny today, what should I do?" Su Yi walked out of the camp, sat on the stone steps, and looked at the herbivorous dragons leisurely grazing on the plains in the distance.

The exhibition match is tomorrow. After seeing so much of the city's hustle and bustle and bright lights these past few days, it's a great place to relax and refresh our eyes in the Ancient Tree Forest.

"By the way, let's go mine some ore. We'll probably need it to repair the sword sheath later." Su Yi stood up, clapped his hands, and put away his companion beasts.

Xunmiao, however, was somewhat resistant, which was understandable, since it had been in the ball for so long and clearly preferred the natural environment.

"Then you'll watch the camp?" Su Yi was a little worried. What if Xunmiao ran away?

"Aww." Xunmiao meowed and lay down in the shade of the tree, enjoying the surrounding scenery.

"Alright then." Su Yi scratched his head and walked out of the camp. After he had gone some distance, Xunmiao changed its posture and looked towards the forest.

Su Yi had walked a distance when the Hunting Guide suddenly vibrated. He opened it with some surprise and saw a green dot on the map at the campsite, marked with the Swift Cat icon. It then indicated that he and his companion were already far away.

Good grief, an automatic alarm sounds when humans and animals are separated for one kilometer?

But it's good, because it allows me to monitor the location of my companions in real time.

Su Yi and Lu Cao arrived at a steep slope. Back then, when the Steel Dragon descended upon the Ancient Forest, the accompanying torrential rain caused a landslide here, exposing the mineral deposits inside. They mined a lot of minerals here at that time.

"Su Yi Miao! What are those marks there, Miao!" Lu Cao exclaimed in surprise.
