Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Chi Hong?"

"That's... a dragon?"

"Chi Hong is a dragon rider!?"

"Huang Junfu, give me support, let's go all out!"

Upon seeing the chubby dragon in the sky, Qiu Jing immediately changed her mind. With the dragon riders all here, wouldn't it be a waste for Chi Hong to come all this way if they didn't give it a shot?

However, Chi Hong is really bold. There were four people, but he, with only one dragon, dared to show off like this.

He's a real talent.

"Maybe all dragon riders are this awesome," Qiu Jing guessed.

"Let's take down the one that didn't summon any pets first..."

"In an emergency, prioritize eliminating the beast tamer."

Qiu Jing raised her hand, and an enormous orange cat, the size of a leopard, appeared!

Huang Junfu nodded, raised his hand to summon a stone tablet with its eyes closed, and gave the command: "Blessing Stone Tablet, use the Blessing of Life, the Protection of Power, the Protection of Wind!"

"Meow!!"

Rays of light fell upon the orange cat, which let out a soft, contented meow.

"Um?"

The long-haired man who hadn't summoned his pet turned around and saw a sharp claw already appearing before his eyes.

Bang!

His pet appeared instantly and bumped the large orange cat aside right in front of the long-haired man.

The long-haired man raised his hand and touched his face; it was a deep wound. His expression immediately turned grim.

"If I hadn't sensed the aura of your pet, you really would have succeeded..."

"You stinky woman."

An angry glint appeared in the long-haired man's eyes as he stared intently at Qiu Jing.

Beside him, a strange pet beast with a fish head and covered in fine scales squatted down, its dead fish eyes also staring at Qiu Jing.

"Its aura is similar to my orange tabby; it has a chance!"

"If Chi Hong can hold off those three, we'll have a chance to take him down!"

Qiu Jing felt much more at ease. Although the situation was a bit bad, there was still a violent pet beast around.

The chance of encountering a ferocious pet in a secret realm is very small, but it's not impossible.

If it weren't for these people, a single, ferocious pet would be considered a "chance encounter".

The teacher leading the team usually has a chance to defeat and subdue a ferocious pet beast!

"Is that teacher in charge, Qiu Jing, here too?"

"Holy crap, why are they coming straight for me?"

When Chi Hong turned around, he saw the ferocious giant beetle flapping its wings and heading straight for him!

"A level 87 berserk pet, Fitness Bro, it's all yours now!"

Chi Hong raised his hand and summoned the Muscle Mosquito. As usual, the Muscle Mosquito appeared with a layer of Bodybuilding on it!

"Ah, no!!"

The burr-like mosquito also flapped its wings and pounced!

A sudden lunge will reduce the opponent's attack power.

The tyrannical beetle let out a piercing scream, then slammed viciously into the fleshy mosquito.

The burr mosquito stretched out its arms and grabbed the beetle's head horn tightly, then spun around in place with all its might!

He then threw it forcefully to another location.

"Ah, nothing!"

The bursting mosquito gave Chi Hong a thumbs up, then roared and unleashed a final charge straight at the giant beetle!

"Good job, gym buddy!"

Chi Hong gave the bursting mosquito a thumbs up; it had already taken that destabilizing factor and moved to a different battlefield.

"Hmph!!"

Dragonite snorted heavily and smashed a fireball aimed at him with a claw.

The three pets below have started attacking him.

Just as the hot-tempered Dragonite was about to charge down and wreak havoc, the Fiend started pulling Chi Hong's hair.

"What, are you cosplaying Ratatouille? We've only just met!"

Chi Hong's head ached from being plucked by the rat, so he quickly removed the fierce rat from his head.

"Squeak!!"

"squeak!!!"

Chi Hong held the ferocious rat in his hand, its two little paws pointing at the long-haired man below. The rat's face was filled with anxiety, which Chi Hong could even see.

The fierce rat's pointed snout was drooling...

"There's no mistake, that guy got the fruit, it's on him!"

"Dragonite, don't waste time on these three, use Dragon Dive!"

Chi Hong raised his hand and pointed to the long-haired man below, and the next second...

Dragonite, carrying Chi Hong, charged straight at the long-haired man with unstoppable momentum!

A resounding dragon roar shook the earth!

The surging energy formed a fierce dragon-shaped phantom on Dragonite's body!

"Aaaaaaah!!!" Chi Hong screamed.

"Squeak squeak squeak!!!" The ferocious rat gripped Chi Hong's hair tightly, its small body bearing immense wind pressure...

After this confrontation, it's unclear whether the new owner of the hamster will be alright, but the hamster itself probably won't be eating tonight...

This move was incredibly powerful, and the long-haired man and Qiu Jing immediately separated, with both pets returning to their tamers.

"This is bad; we can't take it head-on!"

"Blackscale, take me away. We won't clash with the Dragon Riders."

The long-haired man gave up the fight and prepared to leave. Although he hadn't gained much from the trip, it wasn't a complete loss either.

The fruit in his backpack could be sold for a lot of money!

However, even though the long-haired man ran away, Dragonite could still track him.

"Um?"

Veins bulged on Dragonite's head.

Why did this guy run away? Why didn't he just stand there and let me smash him to pieces? Why did he have to provoke me like this?!

As Dragonite thought this, it then performed a cool drift and tail-spin in mid-air, making the dragon's phantom even more fixed and emitting an even more intense dragon roar!

This mid-air drift threw Chi Hong directly out of the air. Dragonite obviously noticed this and immediately wanted to give up the chase to save Chi Hong first.

However, Chi Hong used his mind to tell him to continue the pursuit!

"roar!"

Dragonite roared, its Dragon Dive still powerful, and charged at the long-haired man once more!

"Are you kidding me? That kind of skill can change direction mid-flight??"

The long-haired man was surprised; this was something he had never expected.

The pet named Blackscale was fast, but still couldn't outrun Dragonite. This time, it missed its chance to escape.

The long-haired man immediately pounced to another location. The Dragonite, accompanied by a phantom image of a dragon, slammed into the ground, causing it to shake violently and crack!

A large crater was smashed out by Dragonite. In the dust, Dragonite grabbed Blackscale by the neck and then threw him aside.

One strike, and he was gone.

"Good, as expected of a dragon rider."

"However, taking down the Dragon Riders seems like an interesting thing to do."

The long-haired man stood up. Although he dodged with a lunge, he was still within the range of the dragon's dive attack.

But he appeared to be completely unharmed...

"Waaaaah..."

Dragonite bared its teeth and let out a low growl.

Before him stood a terrifying behemoth, which looked somewhat similar to Godzilla from the movies Chi Hong had seen!

Gargoyle Beast: Grade A.

Attribute: Earth.

Feature 1: Stone Skin, increases defense.

Trait 2: Wild, increases attack power.

"A beast tamer who...surpasses even A-rank?"

"You guys go! I'll stop him, otherwise nobody can leave. I should be able to buy him three minutes by risking my life!"

"Hurry up!"

Qiu Jing's expression changed drastically, and he shouted at Chi Hong and Huang Junfu.

At that moment, Chi Hong heard a "click" sound.

"Teacher Qiu, could you please hold those three guys off?"

"I'll be the one to weigh this guy who's beyond A-rank."

A large red rat stood on Chi Hong's head, its body coiled around the tail of a serpent.

He summoned the Serpent Lord to assist him when he landed.

"Even if you have a dragon, you still..." Qiu Jing wanted him to run away quickly, but Chi Hong decisively raised his right hand.

"Young man, I just said, quickly put aside your ambitions!"

"Tyranitar, Mega Evolve!"

With an arrogant look on his face, Chi Hong decided to test his skills against a beast tamer who was above A-level!

Behind him, a massive figure stepped out from the distorted space and roared to the sky!
