It can also be regarded as a way to green Mashide's Armor Island and repay the help given by Mr. Ma when he first entered this world.
Furthermore, if the planting can be successful, and then various tree fruits can be planted to accelerate their ripening and fruiting, wouldn’t we be able to achieve tree and fruit freedom by then?
You know, the specialty of the Hoenn region - the nutrient-rich energy blocks, are made from various tree fruits.
The Energy Cube is a powerful tool for cultivating Pokémon. Not only that, it can also satisfy the appetites of many big eaters.
"But now I don't even have the seeds of ancient trees, go back and ask the director of the Vegetation Institute."
Just do what you want, Su Yi immediately returned to the star stronghold.
……
"Receptionist, you're back."
When Su Yi came to the circulation area of the base from the shed in the back mountain and passed by the command room, he met the receptionist.
"what happened?"
"Something strange has been happening in the Ancient Tree Forest recently."
"Oh? Something strange?" Su Yi became interested.
"We have already captured the Thunderjaw and the Flying Thunderjaw. Logically speaking, most of the territories of the two should have been occupied by the Thunderjaw."
"But what's strange is that the investigation team hasn't found any traces of the Thunderjaw Dragon recently."
Su Yi rubbed his chin and said, "That is to say, you suspect that Thunderjaw Dragon has left?"
"Yes, and the Thunderjaw Dragon, which should have obtained more territory, gave up the favorable territory. This is very suspicious." said the receptionist.
Su Yi said: "Common sense says that the reason that forces monsters to leave their territory is either because they are driven away by more powerful monsters, or because the resources in that area are insufficient, and the monsters seek another territory in order to find resources for survival."
The receptionist nodded and said, "Your idea is the same as our analysis."
Su Yi continued to analyze: "But first of all, it shouldn't be a lack of resources. The resources outside the ancient tree forest are very rich, enough to feed many large monsters and a group of small monsters."
"As for the powerful monster, it shouldn't be an ancient dragon, right?" Su Yi analyzed and looked at the receptionist.
The receptionist shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. The investigation team did not observe any traces or anomalies related to the ancient dragon."
"In other words, the most likely reason is because of other powerful monsters? The Black Wolf Bird and the Azure Fire Dragon alone should not be enough to force the Thunder Jaw Dragon to leave."
Su Yi suddenly said with a headache: "Tyrannosaurus, Explosive Scale Dragon, Golden Lion, these are the only monsters left in my mind."
Hearing these well-known names, the receptionist said with some concern: "If it is these, it would be too bad."
“Hunters, gatherers, researchers and scholars who go out are in danger.”
“But according to the latest investigation report, there seems to be no traces consistent with these monsters.” The receptionist said thoughtfully.
Powerful monsters like these will openly mark their territory, hunt prey, and leave traces, making it difficult to avoid being discovered.
Su Yi rubbed his chin and said, "In other words, the possibility of these monsters being the cause is lower?"
Su Yi asked casually: “Lucao, what do you think?”
"Meow?" Lucao raised his head, touched the cat's ears, and said uncertainly: "Is it possible that the Thunderjaw Dragon was chased away by us?"
"Huh?" Su Yi paused, raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Don't mention it, maybe we should analyze it from the perspective of monsters."
"It was the companion beasts that fought the Thunderjaw Dragon head-on."
"The Thunderjaw Dragon would naturally think that Swift Meow and the others are all competitors for its territory. It would just wonder why so many different monsters would attack it together."
"The Black Wolf Bird, the Blue Fire Dragon, the Fire Dragon Couple, the Swift Meow and the others, and the Barbarian Jaw Dragon that it didn't know had been subdued..."
"If you think about it carefully, it may have thought that there are too many competitors in this area, and it was severely punished by Xunmiao, so it planned to leave here and look for a new territory?"
"It does seem possible, but I feel like something is wrong..." the receptionist hesitated.
"We can't draw any accurate conclusions just by guessing. Let's wait until the investigation team finds more information before discussing it." Su Yi said.
Since the main body of the base was converted from a huge ship, walking through the circulation area on the first floor of the base is like walking through the wide deck of a ship.
In the circulation area, some members of the investigation team set up stalls to sell materials or props. Hunters walked through them and bought what they needed, giving the place a feeling of a seaside market.
Occasionally, hunters would form teams of two or three at the task bar, then set out from the gate of the base to investigate in the wilderness.
With the addition of nearly 500 people from the fifth group, the Star Base became lively and more and more like a town.
Passing through the crowd, Su Yi and Lu Cao arrived at the Botanical Research Institute which looked like a greenhouse garden.
Before getting close, the complex scents of various plants rush into your nose, and a picture with green as the base color and other colors dotted together comes into view.
A dragon researcher wearing glasses was recording something on a plant seedling.
"Hey, Chief, do you remember me?" Su Yi waved and greeted.
The director of the Phytophyte Research Institute raised his head, pushed his glasses, and said in surprise, "It's you, the hunter who saved me from being chased by the jackal dragon."
The director quickly recorded the data, invited Su Yi to the side, made a cup of special flower tea for him and Lucao, and asked, "What do you want to see me for?"
Su Yi took a sip of the fragrant and refreshing flower tea and said, "Actually, I want to ask you for a seed of an ancient tree."
"Ancient tree seeds?" The director was a little surprised. He pushed his glasses and said, "Why? Do you want to study ancient trees with me?"
Su Yi quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no! Actually, I want to plant ancient trees."
"You must know that it is not easy to cultivate ancient trees. For example, you must have fertilizers containing ancient dragon energy to make them germinate."
"Those lava dragon shells were brought back by me, and I still have some here." Su Yi interrupted the director's long speech.
Moreover, the director doesn't seem to know Su Yi's identity as a foreigner, and thinks he is a hunter from the stronghold, so he really doesn't hear anything out of the window.
"Is that so? Thank you so much. Although I really want to repay you, we just don't have any seeds of the ancient tree."
The director spread his hands helplessly and said, "We didn't have many ancient tree seeds to begin with. We got them under the guidance of the ancient dragon people here when we first came to the New World."
"We couldn't find the key to make them germinate before, so we wasted two seeds. Now this is the only seedling in the experimental field."
"Oh, this." Su Yi said with a headache.
"Sorry, you'll have to search in the upper levels of the ancient tree."
The director told Su Yi some places where seeds might be grown. Unsurprisingly, they were all the top layers of ancient trees, or even the crowns.
There is the territory of the king of the sky.
"Does this also mean that we might encounter a fire dragon?" Su Yi frowned slightly.
Speaking of the Fire Dragon, with his current configuration, he is actually not at all inferior.
But we need to analyze the specific situation specifically. If we encounter a male fire dragon on the winding and narrow branches of the ancient giant tree, the opponent can rely on its air superiority to defeat them.
"However, the fire dragon will go out sometimes. Besides, the flashing light is not to be trifled with." Su Yi said secretly.
For Su Yi, the ancient tree is an important part of realizing his vision.
Its presence allows surrounding vegetation to flourish, creating an environment lush enough to support many large organisms.
So he must get the seeds of the ancient tree!
"Fire dragon? I'll be at your doorstep soon!"
"Receptionist, we are about to leave." Su Yi stood up and drank the scented tea in one gulp.
"Meow?" Lucao, who was sipping scented tea, stuck out his cat tongue, but was still scalded by the tea. He reluctantly put down the tea he had just drunk a few sips of and followed Su Yi.
Seeing that some friends are confused about the plot of Pokémon Hunter, I will explain it here:
Pokémon Hunters are already against the League, and someone like Hunter J won't be afraid of the champion.
Furthermore, although Zhulan is the champion, she does not often show up in public like Dandi. In addition, she does not have much connection with Pokémon hunters, so it is understandable that she was not recognized for a while.
After all, in the original book, many people failed to recognize the champion at first sight. We cannot start from a God’s perspective and take it for granted that everyone should be able to recognize the champion at first sight.
Moreover, Hunter J has a somewhat arrogant personality and doesn't care who you are.
Secondly, although it is true that Zhulan is a champion, she is not an investigator like Du and has almost no experience in fighting criminals. Hunter J does not have the Confinement Ray and is a hunter who will stop at nothing. Zhulan has no idea what other difficult methods she might have, or what Pokémon with dangerous and strange abilities she has. How could she dare to rush into the smoke to chase after them?
Furthermore, the primary goal should be to protect Leafeon and the two doctors, and not to act rashly.

Chapter 161 The Pokémon's Choice
Although it will arrive at your doorstep soon, some preparations still need to be made.
Su Yi came to the second floor of the stronghold. Before he entered the forging workshop, the heat and the smell of metal hit him in the face. In the workshop with bright firelight, the sound of clanging and banging sounded rhythmically.
"Hey, you're here. The equipment is ready. Try it on to see if it fits you." The leader of the second group said, pointing to a set of protective gear and weapons on the conveyor belt.
"Thank you very much!"
Su Yi walked to the equipment expectantly, and with the help of the blacksmith apprentice, put on the protective gear made of the Brute Jaw Rex materials rewarded by the "Hunting Guide".
Click
After getting dressed, Su Yi stretched his body.
The scales of the Savage Jaw Dragon were fused with metal and dragon bones to form armor. On its chest hung a pendant made of sharp teeth and claws. A shawl made of black fur was wrapped around its neck, and on its head it wore a helmet that covered the face, similar to that of a knight.
The moment you put it on, you'll be greeted by a brave and daring aura.
"So handsome, meow~" Lu Cao looked around at the fully armed Su Yi and shouted happily.
This set of armor is heavier than the previous leather hunter set, but thanks to the superb skills of the leader of the second phase group, this set of armor does not hinder the body's movements, and you only need to adapt to the weight.
The equipment forged from metal and monster materials brings a full sense of security. It seems that there is a mysterious power living in the armor, protecting him and giving him the courage to fight.
"It fits very well." Su Yi nodded with a smile.
Then, he picked up the steel knife that was strengthened from the original iron blade sword, and its hardness and sharpness were slightly improved.
Because the sword sheath has temporarily left the team and the monster materials have been used up, this hand sword is just a makeshift one.
"Be safe and remember to come here often to maintain your equipment."
"understood!"
Following the instructions from the leader of the second group, Su Yi left the forging workshop.
Su Yi stopped by the Weapons and Bobcat Pavilion on the way, planning to have a cat meal first. Although he could make it himself, he had the meal coupon issued by the commander-in-chief, which would save time and effort and might as well be used.
As a frequent visitor here, the receptionist and editor's receptionist had already been sitting at the stone table piled with food and books, eating and flipping through them.
