Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 334 Farewell!

"Waaah! (Why should I shut up? I'm good at swearing, you know!)"

Feeling the energy cube in its mouth, the Charizard chewed.

He whimpered at Qingyuan with a resentful expression.

"Shut up, or get back inside the ball!"

Upon hearing Charizard's words, Qingyuan took out Charizard's Poké Ball and threatened it.

"Hmph! (Okay, I'll shut up, I'll shut up!)"

Upon hearing this, Charizard immediately covered its mouth and hid to the side, quite sensibly.

"Well, Gengar, we'd love for you to be our partner!"

"I can assure you, once you become my partner, nothing can separate us except for life and death!"

Seeing that Charizard had wisely moved aside, Qingyuan put away Charizard's Poké Ball and said to Gengar.

"Kou Jie!"

Looking at Qingyuan in front of him, Gengar didn't rush to answer, but just stared blankly at Qingyuan and called out.

It has to be said that it was very tempted by Qingyuan's proposal.

It also really wants to experience the warm and welcoming team life that Qingyuan and his friends have.

But... Nidoran and the others' souls are still waiting for it.

Since it has pulled out the souls of Nidoran and the others, it should be responsible for them.

"Nee-do! (You don't need to worry about us, we were meant to go to the spirit world anyway!)"

"Ne-do! (You've allowed us to stay in the mortal world for so long, and I've even met our trainers several times. We're already very grateful!)"

Seeing the conflicted look on Gengar's face, Nidoran, being a spirit, floated in front of Gengar and offered words of comfort.

"Bue-ee! (Yes, my trainers have all gone to the spirit world, I have no regrets in this world!)"

"Bu-yi! (You should also pursue what you want. Haven't you always wanted a group of close friends?)"

"Bue-ee! (They're really nice, at least they're sincere towards you!)"

Seeing this, Eevee, who was standing nearby, came to Gengar's side and patted Gengar's shoulder with its little paw.

"Bana! (We have no regrets in this world, it's time to restore balance to this place!)"

"Bala! (Because of our existence, many blades of grass here have lost their lives!)"

Seeing this, the Spirit Blossom sadly stroked a small grass that had withered due to Ghost-type energy and said to Gengar.

"Kou Jie! (Everyone...)"

Hearing these words, Gengar choked up as he looked at the spirits.

When those spirits saw Gengar's gaze, without exception, they all gave Gengar a gentle smile.

"Thank you, Gengar!"

"I understand! Thank you everyone for your continued support!"

"Kou Jie! (Even after you arrive in the spirit world, don't forget to live well!)"

After uttering these two sentences to the spirits with a sob in his voice, Gengar hid in Qingyuan's shadow while crying.

Qingyuan, standing to the side, sighed as he looked at Gengar.

Although he couldn't see the spirits of those Pokémon, he could guess what Gengar had gone through.

Parting ways with friends is a sad thing in itself, let alone a parting where you may never see them again.

"Dusknoir, Gengar has made up its mind. You can take all the souls it pulled out with you!"

After glancing at Gengar, who had hidden in his shadow, Qingyuan then called out to Dusknoir.

"Hiss! (If only this had been done earlier, why did we have to fight?)"

"Ouch! (Fighting really hurts!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Night Demon Spirit, while collecting souls, spoke with resentment to Qingyuan and the Gengar hiding in his shadow.

"The little guy is immature, please be more understanding!"

"I still have some energy cubes here, you can all take them and eat them!"

"We can't let you do good deeds and then fight for nothing!"

Upon hearing the words of the Night Demon Leader, Qingyuan smiled and handed it a bag of Ghost-type energy cubes.

As Gengar's trainer, Gengar did something wrong and is now hiding.

Then he'd have to help apologize to Gengar, and besides, Dusknoir is doing a good deed, isn't it?

"Hiss! (You're a good guy!)"

"Hiss! (Come visit the Spirit Realm sometime, I'll personally tear open a space for you!)"

"Hiss! (With this, I can find you anytime!)"

Seeing Qingyuan so devastated, the leader of the Night Demon Spirits smiled and took the energy cube from Qingyuan's hand.

He casually handed Qingyuan a black talisman and said.

"This is?"

Looking at the black talisman in his hand, Qingyuan suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did this thing look so familiar?

"Hiss! (A cursed talisman; someone threw a bunch of talismans into the spirit world!)"

"Hiss! (As time went by, it became like this after being tainted by the ghostly energy of the spirit world!)"

"Hiss! (We usually use it as a GPS tracker; you can put it on that guy too, it'll be good for him!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Night Demon immediately explained in detail to Qingyuan.

"Thank you!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan nodded knowingly, then smiled and said to the Night Demon.

Unexpectedly, sending a bag of energy cubes as an apology yielded an unexpected reward.

However, it's best to forget about going to the spirit world; it's not a place for living people at all.

"Hiss! (Alright, we'll be going now. Come visit the Spirit Realm sometime!)"

After Qingyuan accepted the curse talisman, the leader of the Night Demons called out to him.

Then, together with his underlings, they opened a portal more than a meter tall in the sky above Ziwan Town.

"Neta! (Goodbye Gengar!)"

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Gengar! Goodbye, lovely little grasshoppers!"

Countless ghost-type energies floated out from the portal.

Under the influence of these Ghost-type energies, Nidoran and the others' unstable bodies also became stable.

At this moment, Qingyuan finally saw clearly the Gengar's extremely reluctant companions!

"Isn't Gengar going to come out and say goodbye?"

Watching the souls enter the portal one by one, Qingyuan asked the Gengar in the shadows with a puzzled look.

Only when he looked down did he see his own large, tear-filled eyes, which were very conspicuous in his shadow.

"No! (I'm afraid I won't be able to resist stopping those guys from taking them away!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Gengar shook his head and said to Qingyuan.

After looking around for a while, I saw that all my friends had entered the portal.

Gengar then plunged into Qingyuan's shadow and disappeared!
