Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 35 When Happiness Arrives

Hearing Zhemutian's words, Qingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There's no way around it, the pressure from the Circly Bear is too strong; we have to resort to some underhanded tactics.

There's no doubt that the Circly Bear will beat up the Scorpion.

Even though Scorpio had completely restricted the movement of Circle Bear, Qingyuan still dared not relax his guard in the slightest.

Now that Tsugita has personally admitted defeat, Aohara can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"You're very strong, Zhekida. I'm really looking forward to our next match!"

Qingyuan put away the Scorpion, came to Zhemutian, and extended his right hand to him.

Upon hearing this, Zhe Muda said somewhat blankly.

"What? I can't even beat a Scorpion whose level is lower than a Circle Bear? What's the point of me being strong?!"

"They're all Xiong Qiang from Quan Quan!"

As he spoke, Zheki looked at the Poké Ball of Ursaring in his hand.

Although Ursaring had been defeated by Scorpion and his friends before, it was only through Scorpion's cooperation with Scyther that they managed to defeat it.

He originally thought that with his command, he could easily defeat Qingyuan's elves.

But reality dealt him a heavy blow; even with his command, Circle Bear was still defeated by Scorpion.

We will be defeated without his command, and we will be defeated with his command as well.

Doesn't this just prove that he's completely useless?

The proud Zhemu Tian could not accept that his success was entirely due to Quan Quan Xiong's strength.

Instead of helping Ursaring, he became a hindrance to the trainer's efforts.

After all, without his command, the Circly Bear was surrounded and unable to fight, but with his command, the Circly Bear was actually defeated by Scorpion.

Qingyuan looked at the silent Zhemutian and was at a loss for what to do.

He really didn't expect that just one battle would cause his opponent internal injuries.

After a long while, Qingyuan finally tried to comfort her.

"Ada, you are the strongest opponent I have ever faced besides Gym Leaders!"

"So you don't need to underestimate yourself..."

However, before Qingyuan could finish speaking, Zhemutian interrupted him.

"Ah Yuan, stop talking, I need some peace and quiet!"

After saying that, Zhemu turned and left.

Looking at the other person's lonely figure, Qingyuan felt a pang of guilt.

But he quickly shook off that feeling. "Your future is uncertain, so why are you feeling guilty?"

Qingyuan shook his head, watching Zhemutian's departing figure, and said with some regret.

"Sigh, what a pity, it's so hard to find a compatible trainer!"

After saying that, Qingyuan headed towards the Pokémon Center. He had a lot of things to do and couldn't waste time here.

As for Zhemutian, Qingyuan could only wish him good luck and hope he could get through this soon.

If I can't get through this, then all Qingyuan can say is sorry.

However, if a single defeat could break him, it only proves that Tsukita is not suited to be a trainer.

Changing careers sooner might actually be a good thing for him.

Everyone thinks they are the chosen one, but even Ash Ketchum, the chosen one of this world, went through countless failures before finally becoming the world champion.

No one can win indefinitely, not even Qingyuan; he can't guarantee he can keep winning.

But he can guarantee that he will learn something from each failure.

After returning to the Pokémon Center, Qingyuan handed the Poké Balls of Gliscor and the others to Nurse Joy and waited for a while.

After retrieving the healed scorpions, he returned to his room to continue researching the creation of the energy cube.

He did this so that he could have another way to make money in the future.

This is also to ensure that when making the potions in the breeding manual for the Scorpions later on, they won't fail due to unfamiliarity with the process.

Or, it could result in a medicine with insufficient potency.

Of course, while he was doing his research, his Scorpions weren't idle either.

Qingyuan released them and let them play nearby.

After a day of training, the Scorpions were exhausted.

Allowing them to play outside their Poké Balls can relieve their stress and help maintain their natural instincts.

In Qingyuan's view, the innate nature of the elves is their most precious quality.

That's also the cutest thing about the elves.

Moreover, preserving their natural instincts will not slow down their growth rate, and it can also increase the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon.

This is a good thing that benefits Qingyuan, and he has no reason to stop it.

Moreover, after this long journey, Qingyuan's mindset has also changed.

If at first he only saw Scorpios as tools to achieve his goals...

Now, Qingyuan considers Scorpion and the others as his most important partners, and he cannot do without them.

This is why Qingyuan quickly sold the Fierce Sparrow after realizing he wouldn't raise it.

Because he was afraid of forming a bond with Lieque, and because he was soft-hearted, he wouldn't sell it after forming a bond with Lieque.

However, not selling them would affect the breeding of scorpions.

So, in order not to delay Scorpion and the others, Qingyuan had no choice but to sell the Fiery Sparrow as soon as possible before he could form a bond with it.

However, it's different for spirits that have formed bonds. Thinking of this, Qingyuan looked up and glanced at Scorpion and the others who were having a great time.

"We can't lose a single one of the partners with whom we've formed a bond!"

Looking at the smiling faces of Scorpion and the others, Qingyuan said to himself, word by word.

"Groo-wa!"

Seeing Qingyuan staring blankly at them, the little fire dragon ran up to Qingyuan, raised its hands and called out to him.

Hearing the little fire dragon's cry, Qingyuan quickly came to his senses and asked the little fire dragon.

"What's wrong, Charmander? Is something the matter?"

"Goo-wah! (Qingyuan, are you tired?)"

Looking at Qingyuan in front of him, the little fire dragon held its head and tilted its head to ask.

Although Qingyuan couldn't understand what the little dragon was saying, he could tell from the worried look on its face that the little dragon was worried about him.

"Go have fun, I'm fine!"

Qingyuan patted the little fire dragon's head and said gently.

Hearing this, the little dragon felt much relieved, but was still a little worried about Qingyuan.

However, the game being played by the Scorpion and the Scythe next to it was attracting its attention.

In the end, Charmander's playful nature prevailed over him.

"Gro! (Well, take good care of yourself!)"

After giving Qingyuan some instructions, the little fire dragon, unable to contain itself any longer, went off to play games.

Seeing and hearing what the little fire dragon said, Qingyuan said with a smile.

"You're still just a little kid yourself, and you're already worried about me!"

After saying that, Qingyuan looked in the direction of Scorpion and the others. Seeing them having a great time, a smile appeared on Qingyuan's face.

This feels so good.

I remember when I first transmigrated, I was dissatisfied because I didn't have any cheat codes.

"This is much better than being alone in a rented room in my previous life!"

Qingyuan couldn't help but think to himself.

You can never imagine how happy someone who is always spying on other people's happiness will feel when happiness truly comes to them.

Qingyuan is very happy now.

"Hehe! (Look at Qingyuan, his smile is so silly!)"

Just as Qingyuan was smiling and staring blankly at Scorpion and the others, Scorpion and the others began to complain about Qingyuan's smile.

"Sigh! (He's really acting a bit silly. What's wrong with Qingyuan?)"

"Gwah! (Perhaps he's exhausted; Qingyuan hasn't had a proper rest lately!)"

"Hehe! (Should we call Qingyuan over to play with us?)"

"Goo-wah! (I can't get him to come; Qingyuan keeps saying he has so much to do lately!)"

"Sha! (So, we'll just let Qingyuan keep grinning like that?)"

"Hehe! (Maybe it'll be fine in a little while, let's continue playing!)"

……

"Giggle! (Seriously, Qingyuan's been grinning like that for so long, is he really going to laugh himself silly?)"

"Giggle! (I don't think...it's possible, is it?)"

"Ha! (I don't think so!)"

……
