Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 262 The Mischievous Maril!

After successfully capturing Snorlax, Qingyuan rode Charizard back to town with Qianxue to heal Gliscor's injured right pincer.

"Ugh~"

"So, you can't just let me walk back by myself?"

"Do I really have to experience this intense feeling of weightlessness?"

Qianxue leaned against a pillar at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, watching Qingyuan walk out of the center, and complained to him while vomiting.

"Wow, you're still not done throwing up? Scorpio King has already healed you!"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan, who had walked out of the Pokémon Center with the Gliscor Poké Ball in his hand, looked at Qianxue with a surprised expression.

"No, are you even listening to me?!"

"I said, why won't you let me walk back!"

Seeing Qingyuan's astonished expression, Qianxue suppressed the urge to tear him to pieces and shouted angrily at him.

"Waiting for you to walk back would be a waste of time!"

"We're about to set off!"

Hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan frowned, put away the Scorpion King's Poké Ball, and said.

"I'm so dizzy and nauseous, and you're telling me we have to leave right away?"

"Are you rushing me? Why are you in such a hurry to get going!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue plopped down on the steps in front of the Pokémon Center and weakly called out to Qingyuan.

"As a trainer, you must be able to adapt to all kinds of situations!"

"So let's not waste any more time and get going!"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan extended his hand to her.

"Let me ride that armored rhinoceros for a while!"

"I really feel like my whole body is about to collapse!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue looked at him expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan lowered his hand and thought for a moment.

After glancing at Qianxue's pitiful appearance, which looked like she was about to collapse.

Then he nodded to Qianxue with pity.

"Okay, but only for one day!"

"After today, you'll have to walk tomorrow. You're not allowed to try and steal the armored rhinoceros from me again!"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue's eyes lit up and she stood up from the ground, looking at Qingyuan with anticipation.

"Boss Bao, release the armored rhinoceros quickly!"

Having been with Qingyuan for so long, the thing she learned most from him was that no matter what, you should always try to get the best deal first.

As for what happens after tomorrow, she can no longer compete with Qingyuan for the armored rhinoceros.

Look at what she's saying, it's like she'd let her ride Qingyuan just because she stole him.

"Let's get out of town first. If the Armored Rhino damages any road infrastructure on the way, you'll have to pay me the fine!"

Seeing Qianxue's excited expression, Qingyuan said speechlessly.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Yuan! Brother Yuan is awesome!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue immediately called out to him in a fawning manner.

This is because it's the entrance to the Pokémon Center, and there's a lot of foot traffic around there.

Qianxue's shout immediately attracted no less than thirty or forty gazes to Qingyuan.

This made Qingyuan, a socially awkward person, so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole.

"Get out of here! What are you yelling about!"

After giving Qianxue a tug, Qingyuan strode forward.

"Hehe! Yuan-ge is awesome!"

Seeing Qingyuan's actions, the intelligent Qianxue almost instantly realized that Qingyuan might not be able to handle this situation.

So after chuckling mischievously, Qianxue let out another howl.

Only then did he quickly catch up with Qingyuan.

……

After leaving the town, Qingyuan set his sights on Da Sha Valley and traveled with Qianxue without stopping.

It's just that it's currently the height of summer.

In addition, it was already close to noon when Qingyuan and the others left the town.

So after traveling for several hours, Qingyuan could no longer bear the scorching midday sun and had to stop at a small lake.

"thump!"

As soon as the armored rhinoceros stopped, Qianxue, unable to bear the sweltering heat, plunged headfirst into the lake.

"Watch out, there's a Gyarados in the lake. It might just eat you up!"

Seeing Qianxue jump into the lake, Qingyuan put down his spatial backpack under the shade of a tree and said to her.

"Pfft~ Ah!"

"If only there were a Gyarados, I could just throw a Poké Ball and catch it!"

"Perfect, I don't have a Water-type Pokémon yet!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue emerged from the water and arrogantly addressed Qingyuan.

"Lilu~"

Just then, a strange cry suddenly came from behind Qianxue.

Immediately afterwards, Qianxue felt a smooth sensation caressing her neck.

"Eek~"

Upon feeling the touch, Chiyuki couldn't help but shudder.

"Ugh, what the hell is this?!"

After realizing what was happening, Qianxue quickly ran towards the shore.

"what happened?"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Something slippery touched my neck just now!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue pointed to the lake and addressed Qingyuan.

"It's okay, maybe it's just a Slowpoke that thought you looked weird and licked you!"

Hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan looked towards the lake and comforted her.

"Lilu~ (Haha, you're such a scaredy-cat!)"

Just then, a strange sound came from the grass by the lake.

Qianxue couldn't understand Elvish, so she was so frightened by the sound that she retreated three meters.

"I just heard that sound in the lake too!"

Looking at the bushes in front of her, Qianxue said to Qingyuan with a look of horror.

Qingyuan, who understood Elvish, suppressed a laugh and spoke to Qianxue.

"Okay, it's alright now!"

"An elf was just joking with you!"

After saying that, Qingyuan used his telekinesis to part the grass by the lake, and there he saw a Marillu holding its belly and laughing heartily.

They were probably laughing so hard they were about to cry.

"Oh, so it's you, you little rascal!"

"How could you make me look so pathetic!"

Seeing Marielu in the grass, Qianxue remembered her own appearance just now and immediately said dejectedly.

"Liru~ (Coward, luru luru!)"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Maril stood up from the ground and sneered at Qianxue.

Then he stuck out his tongue and made a face at Qianxue.

"Good lad, take this! Treecko is the one I choose!"

"Teach this little brat a lesson!"

Seeing Mario unleash a series of quick moves, Chiyuki, feeling embarrassed, immediately threw out Treecko's Poké Ball.

He wanted his top general to regain some face for him.

"No!"

With a flash of red light, the Tree Spirit, who had been waiting in full battle, appeared in the arena.

"Lilu!"

Seeing this, Marilu was no longer as playful as before.

With a look of fighting spirit, it provoked the Wood Guardian.

Just kidding, it's the tyrant of the lake, and it hasn't encountered a spirit that dares to challenge it in a long time.

It's determined to teach this little green lizard a lesson today!
