Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 61 Niu Niu will never be a slave!

"How about taking on a few jobs to earn some contribution points?"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Jun Shaqi leaned back in her chair and looked at Qingyuan in front of her.

"That's the idea!"

Qingyuan nodded, not denying it, since it wasn't anything shameful.

Give it to me!

Seeing this, Jun Shaqi nodded and then extended a hand to Qingyuan.

"What will you be given to you?"

Qingyuan was somewhat confused by Jun Shaqi's actions.

Seeing Qingyuan's puzzled look, Jun Shaqi rolled her eyes.

"What else could it be? The level information of the elves. Don't you know there are requirements for accepting these quests?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan quickly handed over the Poké Balls of the Cat Boss and the Rhyhorn.

After receiving the two Pokémon, Officer Jenny placed them into the slot of the detector.

"Wow! Not bad, both of your Pokémon are quite high level!"

"I didn't expect you to be such a strong trainer!"

"Looks like I won't have to pull strings for you this time!"

Looking at the level information of the two Pokémon on the screen, Officer Sage teased Qingyuan.

Qingyuan rolled his eyes when he heard Jun Shaqi's words.

"I'm a trainer who saved the Pokémon Center, how could I be so pathetic!"

"Alright, all done for you. Now you can accept missions anytime without having to report to the police station every time you arrive in a city!"

After operating the machine for a while, Junsa took out the Poké Ball from the device.

He handed it to Qingyuan while preaching.

"So simple!"

As Qingyuan took the Poké Ball, he looked at Officer Sage in front of him with a face full of surprise.

"If I'm in charge, it'll definitely be simple!"

"Or rather, you, the great hero who saved a Pokémon center, are going to undergo a real-world test?"

Looking at Qingyuan's surprised expression, Jun Shaqi teased him again.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan actually thought about it for a moment, and it seemed like it wasn't a bad idea; it was also a way to increase combat experience.

It's the injured leg of the armored rhinoceros that's causing the problem, and it's proving difficult to treat now.

"Alright, the police station doesn't have that much time to test you right now!"

"The main reason is that your cat is level 37, which is enough to fight two level 30 Pokémon, so we let you pass quickly."

Seeing that Qingyuan really wanted to get tested, Jun Shaqi quickly explained.

She didn't want her level 29 Growlithe to take on a level 37 Meowth.

Sensing Jun Shaqi's resistance to the match, Qingyuan wisely abandoned the idea of ​​a test match.

However, having finished everything at the police station, Qingyuan took his leave after chatting with Jun Shaqi for a few minutes.

Jun Shaqi was very considerate and escorted Qingyuan all the way to the police station.

After returning to the Pokémon Center, Qingyuan released all the Gliscor and the others, letting them roam freely before lying down on his bed and drifting off to sleep.

Scorpio, Little Fire Dragon, and Cat Boss, having traveled all night with Qingyuan, returned to their respective beds to sleep.

Because of its personality, Slowpoke lay down on the bed without making a sound.

Because the armored rhinoceros had not yet been completely subdued, Qingyuan did not release it.

As Qingyuan's trump card, the Scyther, which had been at its peak, was now in an awkward position.

Because Qingyuan wanted to have an elf to save his life in the final moments.

So it rested with Slowpoke last night.

Scyther, who doesn't want Slowpoke to be able to lie around all day, is a little lost looking at its room full of sleeping companions.

Ultimately, the restless Scyther decided to practice gathering energy by staying away from Qingyuan and the others.

This was the only thing its tiny brain could think of that would avoid disturbing Qingyuan and the others.

This will allow us to further train its combat capabilities.

If it can compress the time for gathering energy to one second, then Qingyuan can call it the One-Sword Style Flying Mantis from now on.

Filled with anticipation for a bright future, Scyther began practicing its five-second-long energy-gathering technique.

Time slowly passed in this strange atmosphere of both laziness and diligence.

Nine hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was when Qingyuan opened his eyes from his sleep that the time came.

It was already getting dark, and Scyther was rummaging through his backpack, looking for dinner.

Good evening, Scyther!

Watching the Scyther skillfully wield its twin blades, it rummaged through its backpack to retrieve some Pokémon food.

Qingyuan patted his head, which was a little sore from sleeping for too long, and greeted the Scyther.

Judging from its practiced movements, the flying praying mantis definitely didn't go hungry at noon.

"Sha!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scyther politely replied and then stood still and waited.

The trainers are all awake, so it doesn't need to bother with all that work.

Moreover, its hands are not good at operating these things to begin with.

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan quickly got up and poured the Pokémon food for Scyther.

"Great job, Scyther!"

After feeding the Scyther, Qingyuan patted its head and praised it.

"Sha!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scyther responded with a smile.

"Gl?"

"Meow~"

"Groo-wa!"

Just then, the Scorpions woke up one by one from their sleep.

Looking at the Scorpions waking up from their sleep, Qingyuan gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"Goodness, I'll get to work as soon as I wake up!"

After making a complaint, Qingyuan stood up, washed his face, and began preparing dinner for Scorpion and the others.

After preparing dinner for Scorpion and the others, Qingyuan straightened his clothes and went to the restaurant at the Pokémon Center.

After packing a meal, Qingyuan returned to his room and began to enjoy his dinner.

Halfway through the meal, Qingyuan was taken aback when he saw Scorpion and the other three eating. He then remembered that the Ironclad Rhinoceros had not been completely subdued yet.

"Come out, armored rhinoceros!"

"Huh!"

Rhydon, which had been cooped up in its Poké Ball all day, let out a loud roar as soon as it came out of the Poké Ball.

Upon hearing the armored rhinoceros's roar, Qingyuan covered his ears and shouted loudly.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

"Meow!"

"boom!"

Seeing that the armored rhinoceros was ignoring Qingyuan's words, the cat boss's right paw flashed with silver light and slapped the armored rhinoceros on the head.

The armored rhinoceros was immediately silenced by that swipe of its claw.

"You've been starving all day, and your voice is still so loud?"

Qingyuan scratched his ear, looking at the armored rhinoceros in front of him with some confusion.

"However, Cat Boss did a great job, he's truly my precious darling!"

Ignoring the silent armored rhinoceros, Qingyuan first praised Cat Boss.

He casually stroked the cat's head before turning to look at the armored rhinoceros.

"From today onwards, you are my Ox, and I am your trainer. You must listen to me, understand?"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the armored rhinoceros initially didn't want to pay any attention.

However, upon seeing the menacing Cat Boss, the Armored Rhino finally nodded and chose to back down.

However, I will lose my freedom in the future.

Thinking of this, the armored rhinoceros's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Seeing this, Qingyuan touched the armored rhinoceros's horn and said.

"Great job, great job, awesome!"

"Don't worry, from now on, if you follow me, I guarantee you'll live the high life!"

After saying that, Qingyuan placed a bowl of elven food in front of the armored rhinoceros.

Having been hungry all day, the armored rhinoceros no longer cared about freedom.

He immediately grabbed the rice bowl and started working hard, head down.

That one bite immediately changed the armored rhinoceros's initial thought.

If I could eat such delicious food every day, it seems like following Qingyuan wouldn't be a bad deal.

This is a general-purpose Pokémon food. Although it doesn't taste particularly good, it's good because it can satisfy the taste buds of all Pokémon.

For the armored rhinoceros, who spends its days gnawing on rocks, eating ores, or supplementing its diet with mushrooms on the back of Paras, this is a different story.

Although the general-purpose elf food didn't taste particularly good, it was enough to make this creature, which had never tasted anything good before, completely swoon.

Niu Niu will never be a slave, um... unless you provide food and lodging.
