Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 416 Award Ceremony!

"Then you'd better study and train your Pokémon properly. If you just rely on others to take care of your Pokémon, you won't be able to reach the top!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately smiled and said.

Ash from the Kalos region has already fully matured into a trainer, both in terms of nurturing and training.

Although Citron helped in this process.

However, compared to his previous regions, Ash's growth has been remarkable.

Even in a region where Ash was so dedicated, he still didn't win the championship.

Who knows how much Qingyuan felt sorry for Xiaozhi when he saw that scene?

"Qingyuan!"

Just then, a voice rang out, causing Qingyuan and the others, who were about to leave, to stop in their tracks.

"What's wrong?"

Qingyuan turned around and saw that Wutian was looking at him with a troubled expression, so he asked with a puzzled look.

"You weren't exaggerating, congratulations on winning the championship!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Takeda looked directly into Qingyuan's eyes, and after saying those words, he turned and left.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan couldn't help but smile.

"Quite arrogant!"

Watching Takeda's departing figure, Qingyuan couldn't help but smile and murmur to himself.

However, a true man is one who can bend and stretch, and Takeda's personality is not easily disliked.

Moreover, his strength is indeed formidable; in previous Quartz Games, he certainly had the ability to win the championship.

However, he was a bit unlucky. This year's class not only had Qingyuan, but also Xia Qiu, that old schemer.

Even without Qingyuan, with Xia Qiu constantly switching Pokémon with the same fate, it's estimated that Takeda would not have a chance to win the Indigo League championship this year.

What's wrong with him?

Watching Takeda's departing figure, Ash asked with a puzzled look.

At the time when Qingyuan made his boastful statement, Xiaozhi was not on the preparation bench, so he did not know that Qingyuan's boastful statement had been criticized by Takeda.

"It's nothing serious, just accepting the loss!"

"Why do you, a little kid, care about so much!"

After hearing what Xiaozhi said, Xia Qiu thought for a moment and then patted Xiaozhi on the back of the head.

After spending these few days together, Xia Qiu has come to like Xiao Zhi quite a bit, even though he's a bit silly, he has a pure heart.

However, perhaps due to his background, Xiao Zhi is somewhat naive and inexperienced in worldly affairs.

Therefore, Xia Qiu didn't want Xiao Zhi to experience what it meant to be rebuffed for showing off in the short term, lest the little guy be led astray.

"oh oh!"

Hearing Xia Qiu's words, Xiao Zhi nodded as if he understood but not quite.

"Alright, stop chatting and let's go eat!"

"I feel like I'm starving!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan patted Xiaqiu and Xiaozhi on the shoulders and said.

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the restaurant.

"Hey Qingyuan, we've gone to the wrong restaurant! Xiaogang and the others booked a table outside!"

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi quickly grabbed Qing Yuan's arm and shouted.

"Hahaha, champion, my foot! What an idiot!"

Seeing this, Xia Qiu pointed at Qing Yuan and burst into laughter.

"Shut up, you defeated opponent!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan became furious and said to Xia Qiu.

"...Just this once!"

I'll win next time!

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiu, who had been smiling, stopped smiling and looked at Qing Yuan with a grim expression.

"Tch, until you win back your victory, you'll still be my defeated foe!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan rolled his eyes at Xia Qiu with disdain.

"Let's go eat, let's go eat!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiu was momentarily speechless and could only change the subject.

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan finally revealed a smile and even mocked me, saying, "Watch me take you down with just one sentence!"

……

After celebrating his championship victory with Xiaogang and Zhemutian, and then celebrating Xiaqiu's third-place finish.

Qingyuan and Xia Qiu then returned to the preparation area.

Of course, they didn't come here to prepare for the competition.

Instead, we're waiting here for the awards ceremony later!

"So, how are you feeling now that you're going in to receive the award?"

Qingyuan straightened his collar, looked at the entrance passage in front of him, and nudged Xia Qiu's shoulder with his own.

"What could I possibly feel? If this were a championship, I might even get excited!"

"Just a third-place finish, tsk tsk!"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Xia Qiu shook his head and said.

"I am not talented, but I have won the championship!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately gave Xia Qiu a sly smile and said.

"roll!"

Hearing this, Xia Qiu rolled her eyes at Qing Yuan and then ignored him.

"Next, let's welcome the champion, runner-up, and third-place winner of this competition to the stage!"

Just then, as the broadcast sounded, Qingyuan led the way and walked into the battlefield.

"Whoosh!"

As Qingyuan and his team entered, the award ceremony was immediately met with thunderous applause.

The applause only subsided slightly after Qingyuan and his team reached the podium.

"Next, let's welcome the Alliance President, President Dama Lanqi, to present the awards to the players!"

Upon seeing this, the broadcaster spoke into the microphone again.

Amidst a round of applause, Dama Lanqi, accompanied by several staff members carrying trophies, approached Qingyuan and his team.

After presenting the awards to Xia Qiuwu and the others in turn, Dama Lanqi came to stand in front of Qingyuan.

Congratulations on your championship!

Looking at Qingyuan in front of him, Dama Lanqi smiled and shook Qingyuan's hand.

"Thank you, President!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan grasped Damalanqi's hands with both of his and thanked him.

"Enjoy your championship moment, little guy!"

"I'll be waiting for you in the Hall of Fame later. I want to talk to you about the aristocratic families!"

Looking at Qingyuan holding his hands, Dama Lanqi smiled and said to Qingyuan.

After saying this, Dama Lanqi handed the championship trophy to Qingyuan, finished presenting the awards, and walked off the stage.

Watching Damalanqi's departing figure, Qingyuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Regarding the aristocratic families, Dama Lanqi is unable to withstand the pressure from them and is preparing to hand herself over.

I'm still going to discuss with myself how to resolve the issues of the Fufeng family.

If it's the latter, that's fine. There's nothing serious about him going, and he can use this opportunity to get rid of the troublesome Fufeng family.

After all, although the people of the Fufeng family are not strong, they are like flies that have crawled onto your feet.

It can't hurt you in any way, but it's disgusting!

If he could take this opportunity to eliminate the Fufeng family, he wouldn't have to make another trip to the Fufeng family after breaking through to the Heavenly King realm.

However, if it's the former, then its safety is not very reliable.

As is well known, the Kanto Alliance is full of hidden talents, and its high-end combat power is the best in the region.

Putting everything else aside, just the four kings of the Kanto region alone, each of them has near-championship strength.

It means that everyone restrains each other, ultimately resulting in no one being able to reach the top of the championship.
