My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Chapter 216 Beast Tamers

"I'm going to catch it! Sarugaso! I choose you." With a wave of his hand, Ash called out the leafy sea dragon beast beside him, Sarugaso.

Sarugaso cawed, crouching as it prepared for the fight. Its eyes were squinted as if it was looking forward to the battle.

"Wow, to think that an Alpha Red Salamander came out of that portal... the Beasts on the other side must be pretty strong. I'll go check it out later but for now, let's see what you're made of, Ash!" Jean clenched his fist and fist-bumped his son before standing on the sidelines. Now that he thought about it, this was the first time that he'll witness his son fight live and he was kind of pumped up because of that. 'You got this, Ash. I know you got this.' He said to himself, smiling as he sat on a nearby rock.

Seeing that the Dimensional Portal that appeared is a stable type, they have more than enough time to venture into the other side and explore it. In other words, the Dimensional Portal wasn't going anywhere and it will forever be a part of their world.

That's why Jean Grey didn't rush his son in trying to defeat the Alpha Red Salamander.

As for Ash Grey, he was confident that his Sarugaso could defeat the Alpha Red Salamander  because of their type effectivity. Sarugaso is of the water type and  the Alpha Red Salamander is of the fire type. It's obvious who has the clear advantage here.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Suddenly, a voice spoke out, causing Jean Grey and Ash to pause. Wondering where the voice came from, Ash stopped his Sarugaso from attacking the sleeping Alpha Red Salamander. As he did so, the Alpha Red Salamander woke up. With a low growling sound coming out of its closed mouth, it slowly turned around, facing Ash and his dad. Based on its expression, it was slightly pissed, its eyes turning into slits as it stared down at Sarugaso.

When the Alpha Red Salamander stood up in all its glory, Sarugaso realized just how small it was compared to the Beast. Cowering in fear, it retreated behind Ash as it almost peed itself. It began cooing in a frightened manner, closing its eyes as if it expected the worse to happen.

"Who's there?!" Ash screamed, assuming a fighting stance in front of the Alpha Red Salamander— as if he stood a chance against the giant.

"Do you really want to burn this whole forest down? It's not a good choice to rile up a fire type in the middle of the woods. Seriously, are you really a trainer?"

"Who are you?"

Two figures appeared from behind the Alpha Red Salamander. One of them was a guy the same age as Ash, and he was patting the Alpha Red Salamander. "You should think twice about fighting my Alpha Red Salamander, it won't end well with your Sarugaso. He may be a water type but he's too under-leveled for my Alpha Red Salamander."

"Your Alpha Red Salamander? You're the beast tamer of that Beast?" Ash asked.

Even if Satoshi didn't explain to Ash that his Sarugaso was too under-leveled, he already knew it. The only reason why he took his chance in trying to attack it was that it was sleeping. He planned to sneak a powerful attack before it woke up, that way it would be easier to defeat the Alpha Red Salamander once its awake and its HP was significantly reduced.

That's now how it went, however.

"Apologies, young man, it seems like we've disturbed your Alpha Red Salamander here. I'm Jean Grey, Master Beast Tamer of the Nichijou Region and this is my son, also a Beast Tamer." Jean Grey interrupted, walking towards Satoshi with his hand extended. Obviously, he was aware that Satoshi and Emma came from the other side of the portal. If they didn't then they wouldn't have been here.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Midoriyama Satoshi. This is Emma Leisenberg."

"I assume the two of you came from the other side of the portal?" Jean Grey continued.

Satoshi and Emma nodded.

"I see. In any case, we don't want a fight. Had we known that the Alpha Red Salamander is yours, we wouldn't have attempted to tame it. Sorry about that." Jean Grey said, grabbing Ash by the head and forcing it to bow down.

"It's fine. We don't want to fight either. I mean, we were hoping to get attacked as soon as we crossed to this dimension but who would've thought that we'd be welcomed." Satoshi continued, shaking Jean Grey's hand to seal their peaceful conversation.

"Follow me, I'm sure the Professor will be pleased to see you." Jean Grey gestured as he turned his back and walked forward.

"Sure," Satoshi didn't waste any time calling for the Alpha Red Salamander and storing him inside the Orb Oboros.

,m "Whoa! Is that... Is that also a Beast?" Ash asked, seeing the White Orb that Satoshi was holding, floating on its own.

"Ah um... " Satoshi didn't know how to answer. In a way, the Orb Oboros is a Familiar, but could it be considered a Beast? "I mean yeah, I guess."

"So cool! Are there a lot of Beasts in your world as well? Are they strong?"

Satoshi thought back, remembering all the animals he knew that exists in their world. Compared to the Alpha Red Salamander, they weren't particularly strong. Cats, dogs, mice... if ever, they exist only as pets. Sure there are wild animals that could rival Beasts but how strong are they really? Satoshi didn't have the knowledge to gauge their potential as Beasts. "I don't think so," Satoshi responded.

"Aw, but seeing your Alpha Red Salamander, I bet there are a lot of strong Beasts in your world. Man! I can't wait to go there!"

"We're almost there, don't be so nervous in front of the Professor even though he's sure to ask questions." Jean Grey advised as the four of them exited the Urass Forest a couple of minutes later.
