Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 443 Arrival at Professor Oak's Laboratory!

After spending almost a week with Qiao Yiying, allowing her emotions to completely stabilize, [they] stayed with her.

Qingyuan then bid farewell to Qiao Yiying and rode his Charizard toward Pallet Town.

With Charizard moving at full speed, Pallet Town, which wasn't far from Viridian City to begin with, was approached.

Qingyuan and his group arrived at Zhenxin Town in just five minutes.

"Let's just go straight to Professor Oak's backyard, we won't go through the front gate!"

Sitting on Charizard's back, Qingyuan looked down at Professor Oak's backyard, patted Charizard's neck, and said.

"Roar!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Charizard breathed a pillar of fire into the sky and then landed in Professor Oak's backyard.

"Roar!"

Before Qingyuan and Charizard could even land...

Professor Oak's main battle Pokémon, the guardian of Professor Oak's backyard, and Dragonite's husband, Dragonair from Qingyuan.

He immediately roared and flew rapidly toward Qingyuan.

Clearly, Dragonite successfully recognized Qingyuan.

"Long time no see, Dragonite!"

Seeing the Dragonite flying rapidly towards him, Qingyuan waved to it and greeted it with a smile.

"Hooray! (Long time no see!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Dragonite greeted him excitedly.

It's been driven almost crazy by its stepdaughter, the Minidragon, lately.

Because Qingyuan has gone missing, and Dragonite doesn't want his stepdaughter to face this cruel reality.

It had no choice but to lie to the mini dragons and say that Qingyuan was busy with something and that's why it hadn't contacted them.

However, after Dratini evolves into Dragonair, its intelligence increases significantly.

During this time, it had already figured out the loopholes in Dragonite's language and started pressing it for details about Qingyuan's situation.

Left with no other choice, Dragonite had to patrol the area around Professor Oak's backyard several times a day to avoid Dragonair's questioning.

Now that Qingyuan is finally back, he just dumped Hakron on him, and it can finally go home and cuddle with its wife.

After greeting Dragonite in the air, Qingyuan commanded Charizard to land in Hiromu's backyard.

Seeing this, Dragonite did not go with Qingyuan, but quickly flew towards Dragonair to bring it over.

"Everyone, come out!"

Back at Professor Oak's research lab, Qingyuan felt right at home and immediately released Gliscor and the others.

"Boss Cat, go find the Inferno Monkeys and the others!"

"Gliscor, you guys stay here with Nidoking and Venusaur for a bit. I'm going to find Professor Oak and tell him I'm back!"

Looking at the Scorpion King and the others in front of him, Qingyuan gave them a few instructions.

He then turned around and walked directly towards Professor Oak's laboratory.

"Greek!"

Watching Qingyuan's departing figure, Scorpion King scratched his head and looked around.

Finally, it jumped up and climbed onto a nearby tree branch, where it lay down.

Seeing this, the Charizards and the others went about their own business and found a comfortable spot to lie down.

"Da na!"

"Nedo!"

Seeing this, Venusaur and Nidoking exchanged a glance, and finally sat back to back, basking in the sun.

"Hello, Professor Oak, I'm back!"

Upon entering the lab and not seeing Professor Oak, Qingyuan simply shouted out.

"oops!"

Sure enough, the very next second after Qingyuan shouted, Professor Oak, who was squatting on the ground doing something, bumped his head and stood up.

"Qingyuan?"

"Where did you go? Why are you only just getting back?"

Looking at Qingyuan, who had been declared missing by the League but had appeared before him, Professor Oak asked in surprise.

"Don't even mention Professor Oak, I was caught in Celebi's vortex in Viridian Forest and was transported back in time!"

"It's been so long since I got back!"

Upon hearing Professor Oak's words, Qingyuan plopped down on a chair nearby, rubbing the spatial equipment that Achen had filled in his hands, and said to Professor Oak.

This trip was truly exceptionally difficult!

"Celebi's time travel?"

"You're quite lucky!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Professor Oak's eyes flashed with a hint of reminiscence as he spoke to Qingyuan.

When he was young, he also experienced Celebi's time travel.

It was at that time that he met Ash from the future.

In fact, he knew Xiaozhi much earlier than he knew Xiaozhi's mother.

"What are you doing? Preparing instant noodles?"

Skipping the topic of time travel, Qingyuan looked at Professor Oak, who was lying under the experimental table, and asked him with a curious expression.

"No, I'm looking for a peculiar stone!"

"Professor Blatano from the Kalos region said that some Pokémon that have already reached their final evolution can undergo Mega Evolution!"

"However, this requires certain special stones as a medium!"

“I saw the pictures Dr. Blatano sent me, and I remember I had two stones like these before!”

"I just don't know where I put it!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Professor Oak stood up from the ground, took a sip of tea from his beaker, and then spoke to Qingyuan.

"You really do like to use beakers for everything!"

Looking at Professor Oak using a beaker as a teacup, Qingyuan casually made a sarcastic remark.

Then he took out the Mega Stone, which he thought was a fossil Aerodactyl, that he had obtained in the Great Valley from his spatial equipment and handed it to Professor Oak.

"Look, isn't that the kind of stone in that photo?"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Professor Oak put down his beaker and casually glanced at Qingyuan.

He then immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Where did you get this kind of stone?"

Professor Oak took the stone from Qingyuan's hand and examined it carefully. He confirmed that it was almost identical to the picture that Professor Syracuse had sent him, except for the pattern.

Then he asked Qingyuan.

"Where else could it have come from? It was dug up in Big Fool Valley!"

"Charizard told Tyranitar that there was a peculiar rock and flying-type energy here, so I stayed!"

Upon hearing Professor Oak's words, Qingyuan waved his hand and said...

After his subsequent experiments, it was basically confirmed that the stone was a pterosaur's Mega Evolution Stone.

However, he did not have the Keystone, which served as one of the mediums.

Moreover, as a bloodthirsty sky overlord from ancient times, even with the use of the Soothing Bell, the fossil pterosaur's affinity with him didn't increase much.

In the end, Qingyuan simply gave up on the Mega Aerodactyl and planned to keep it in his hands to exchange for a Mega Stone of Charizard, Scizor, or Gengar later.

Now that Professor Oak needs it, in order to maximize profits, Qingyuan simply offers it to Professor Oak for research.

I'm sure Professor Oak will be generous with a Mega Stone or two once he has completed his research.

After all, this was a timely help for Professor Oak's experiments.
