Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

Although this is the Pokémon world with its fantastical powers, the tree in front of you is just an ordinary plant, not a Pokémon with any special powers.

Therefore, what we are witnessing can only be described as a miracle!

Rumble!

As if from another world, the scene vanished, and the towering tree finally crashed to the ground, a seed falling at the feet of the dazed gecko.

Su Yi let out a breath and remained silent for a long time.

This scene reminded him of another work, One Piece, the scene of the burning Going Merry.

The Going Merry, which had finally given birth to a ship spirit, bid its final farewell to the Straw Hat crew amidst a raging fire.

And this great tree, perhaps nurtured by countless tree spirits generation after generation, gave birth to an incredible being similar to a tree spirit at the end of its life.

However, even the divine tortoise, though long-lived, has its end, let alone this which is just an ordinary plant.

In its final moments, all it could do was recount its life to bid farewell to the gecko and tell it something.

"It's getting late, time to get going (meow)"

Su Yi and Lu Cao spoke slowly at the same time, and then Su Yi and Lu Cao looked at each other in surprise.

"Dewy grass?"

"Su Yi Miao?"

"I think I heard a meow, although I didn't hear it clearly, but I think that's what it meant, meow."

“Dew Grass.” Su Yi picked up Dew Grass and said slowly, “Perhaps this is what it wants to say to everyone who witnessed this scene.”

It seems to be telling the gecko not to be attached to it, not to be sad about it, that all of this is in accordance with nature, and to let it live freely according to its own wishes in the future.

Lucao climbed out of Su Yi's arms, perched on top of his head, and raised her paw, saying, "We've always been 'setting off,' meow!"

"Chamo." Wood Ghoul's thoughts drifted as he overheard Su Yi and Dew Grass's conversation.

Ash crouched down, patted Treecko's shoulder, and said with a smile, "It seems to be expressing its gratitude to you for taking care of it all this time."

“Chamo.” Wood Guardian slowly came back to his senses, his eyes instantly becoming firm.

"Chamo!" It turned around, slapped Ash's hand away, and jumped away, looking quite aggressive.

"Chamo?" The other Treeckoes looked at that Treecko with surprise and confusion.

Xiao Zhi stood up in surprise and asked, "What happened to you all of a sudden?!"

Treekie glanced gently at the fallen tree, then struck a powerful fighting pose.

Su Yi then said, "It's about to begin its journey. Aren't you going to greet it?"

After spending the night with Ash, Treecko has begun to accept Ash, and just now, it decided to go outside the forest and see the wider world.

Ash paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I understand! Pikachu! I choose you!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu charged into battle full of fighting spirit.

"Chamo!" The Tree Spirit attacked with all its might.

This time, Pikachu didn't hold back. After getting familiar with Treecko's fighting style, it used its best Electric-type move to defeat Treecko.

"Please! A Poké Ball!" Ash threw the Poké Ball earnestly.

The moment it was captured in the Poké Ball, the fallen Treecko seemed to let out a relieved smile.

"I caught Treecko!" Ash exclaimed, holding up his Poké Ball with great joy.

"Pickup!"

"Come out, Treecko, let's go on a trip together!" Ash released Treecko.

Not far away, Xiao Gang and Xiao Yao, a brother and sister, arrived late.

"Oh? You finally caught Treecko?" Brock smiled.

Xiaoyao sighed: "Finally."

"Chamo." Treecko took the seed from the old Treecko and planted it with his companions, then watered it and covered it with fallen leaves.

A new tree has begun to grow, and from now on, this will be the story of other tree geckos and this tree.

“At this time, we should hold a banquet, both to welcome you and to say goodbye,” Su Yi said as he walked over.

"A banquet!" Xiao Zhi excitedly raised his hands.

"Pickup!"

"Chamo!"

"It seems pretty good," Xiao Gang said with a smile, hands on his hips.

"Brother Su Yi, are you going to cook? This is a bit difficult. Given my figure, I'll have to ask you for help one more time," Xiao Yao said, wiping away imaginary drool.

The forest came alive with the aroma of cooking, as steaming dishes were served like a flowing stream.

"So delicious! Pikachu, Treecko, try this!" Ash was thoroughly enjoying it.

"I should walk more from now on and exercise to lose weight," Xiaoyao muttered to herself as she put a piece of grilled meat into her mouth.

"Lucky~" Jili Egg handed over a skewer of grilled shrimp.

"Thank you." Su Yi smiled and accepted it, then patted Chansey's head.

Not far away, Luca recommended her favorite special sausage to Pikachu, but Pikachu ate it without any interest, leaving Luca very disappointed.

Su Yi took a sip of his drink and looked at the geckos. They were happily eating their food while joyfully circling around the planted seed.

Su Yi smiled, deciding to abandon the idea of ​​inviting them.

"Brother Su Yi, do you want to catch Treecko?" Ash's voice suddenly came, startling Su Yi.

"How did you figure that out?" Su Yi was a little surprised, as he hadn't revealed it himself.

Ash smiled and said, "I just sensed it. Brother Su Yi must really like Pokémon. What you said earlier sounded so gentle to me."

"What an incredible intuition!" Su Yi chuckled.

"I don't want to catch Treecko, but I want to ask them for help. They are a piece of the puzzle for my dream paradise, a paradise for Pokémon (and their companions)."

"But seeing how happily the geckos live here, I hesitated."

"Perhaps it's best to let them live here carefree," Su Yi sighed.

"This is just Brother Su Yi's idea, isn't it?"

Ash suddenly said seriously, "Every Pokémon has its own thoughts, and how they will choose is unknown."

"Just as you told me yesterday, get to know them, and let them get to know you, otherwise how will you know what they're thinking?"

Su Yi was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "You actually lectured me."

Su Yi took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at the wooden geckos.

Pokémon Advanced Generation (AG) was the first Pokémon anime I ever watched. I was particularly impressed by Treecko's joining the team in episode 7, especially by the song "Minna ga Ita kara".

Here's another song I'd like to recommend: "Akashia" from the Pokémon special music video "GOTCHA!".

Chapter 177 Invitation Successful, Return to the Isle of Armor

Su Yi walked towards the wooden geckos, pondering how to invite them.

"Chamo~" The tree geckos happily surrounded Su Yi when they saw him coming over, expressing their sincere gratitude.

Upon seeing these innocent and adorable Pokémon, Su Yi smiled with relief.

Seeing Su Yi walk over, Xiao Sheng asked in confusion, "Brother Su Yi, are you going to capture a Treecko?"

"Everyone, actually, I came here to ask for your help." Su Yi squatted down to be at eye level with the Wood Geckos.

"Chamo?" The geckos looked puzzled.

"In a faraway place, there stands a towering tree," Su Yi said, taking out his Rotom phone and showing a picture of the ancient giant tree.

In the photo, Su Yi rides on the back of a Steel-Armored Raven, taking pictures of a magnificent ancient tree from the sky.

The towering ancient tree stands like a giant tower in the forest, gazing at the sea and backed by the boundless forest. Its winding roots resemble a large hand that firmly grasps a vast forest.

"Chamo!" The geckos exclaimed in surprise.

“And I obtained the seeds of that big tree,” Su Yi said, spreading out his hand. In his hand were five seemingly ordinary seeds.

"My dream is to build a paradise where many Pokémon (and their companions) can live together, and this seed is one piece of the puzzle to build that paradise."

"I understand that to accomplish this, I alone am not enough; I will need the power of many Pokémon with different abilities."

"Therefore, I would like to invite you to start by experimenting with how to plant this big tree, and build a shared home for all of us."

Su Yi slowly recounted his plans and visions for the future, and promised to treat any Pokémon that helped him kindly.

Some of the geckos were drawn to Su Yi's ideas and descriptions, their eyes filled with longing.

"Chamo, Chamo," the treetills whispered among themselves. The old treetill did not stop them; it knew they had their own thoughts, and Su Yi seemed to be a reliable person at the moment.

Seemingly influenced by Ash's Treecko, some Treeckoes have also developed the idea of ​​leaving the forest.

"Chamo!"

After careful consideration, the four Treeckoes stepped out and extended their fists towards Su Yi.

Su Yi smiled and bumped fists with them, saying, "Then please guide me."

"Chamo!"

"He caught four Treeckoes in one go without even battling them?!" Kashin was extremely surprised to see this.

Xiao Zhi scratched his head and said, "Brother Su Yi seemed to have said that it wasn't about catching them to battle, but rather about building an amusement park or something."

Brock said with a smile, "Catching Pokémon doesn't necessarily require battling. If you share the same hobbies or ideals, you can become partners with them."

On the other side, the four Treeckoes were saying goodbye to their companions when Su Yi walked over and said to Ash and his friends, "I won't be traveling with you anymore."

"Let's battle next time we meet, and I'll definitely impress you!" Ash grinned.

"Pickup!"

"Next time, when I'm ready, I'll let you try my best dish!" Xiao Gang said with a smile.
