Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 256 Snow, the Trainer with Unwavering Belief!

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but abandoning others and running off on a bull all by yourself is just too much of a bully!"

At the town's crossroads, Qianxue, panting heavily, looked at Qingyuan sitting on the back of the armored rhinoceros and said angrily.

"Hehe, sorry!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan said to Qianxue with a slight embarrassment.

"There was absolutely no sincerity in their apology!"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue pouted and said.

"So what do you want? I already told you not to follow me!"

"I'm used to traveling alone and can't bring anyone with me!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately looked at Qianxue with a helpless expression.

"How about I return your money, and we go our separate ways?"

Looking at Qianxue in front of him, Qingyuan picked up his spatial backpack and made a suggestion to her.

"No, I haven't learned the skills yet!"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue pouted and turned to Qingyuan with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

"No, then you'll have to follow my lead!"

"You insisted on staying by my side, I didn't beg you to!"

"Since you're following me, then you'll have to follow my rules!"

"And if you want to be a trainer, get rid of your petty temper. Nobody should waste their time waiting for you!"

"Besides, since you're so delicate, you might as well go home. Judging from your appearance, your family isn't short of money!"

"Why bother to suffer as a trainer?"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan jumped off the back of the armored rhinoceros and spoke to Qianxue.

After saying that, he took out Rhyperior's Poké Ball and put Rhyperior away.

He turned and walked towards the town, showing no intention of paying any attention to Qianxue.

Hearing Qingyuan's merciless words, Qianxue couldn't help but shed a few small pearls.

She had already paid for the ride; all she wanted was to ride the armored rhinoceros and make Qingyuan wait for her. What was wrong with that?

"No~"

Seeing Chiyuki's condition, Kikami, who was standing next to her, patted her leg with a worried expression.

Upon hearing what the tree spirit said, Chiyuki quickly wiped away her tears.

Seeing the worried look on the tree spirit's face, Chiyuki hugged it and forced a smile.

"I'm fine, Wood Gecko. Let's follow him!"

"I've already taught him the money, so we must learn some skills from him!"

"After all, we made a promise to become champions together!"

"Once we become champions, we'll give him and Scorpion King a good beating and show them what we're made of!"

After saying that, Chiyuki rubbed her cheek against the tree spirit with a smile!

Although Qingyuan was very unwilling, Qianxue stayed by his side.

However, since Qianxue had already paid, Qingyuan still taught her some knowledge about training Pokémon.

And this advice—never to shed tears in front of elves—was something Qingyuan had told her.

Because to shed tears in front of elves is to show weakness.

If your affinity with the elf is not high, the elf will stop obeying her commands once she feels she is strong enough.

If you have a high level of intimacy with the elf, it will make the elf feel uncomfortable and guilty. Doing this will only make the elf worry and will not bring any benefits.

So when Chiyuki saw the worried look on Kikami's face, she immediately used their agreement to distract Kikami.

Seeing the tears in Qianxue's eyes, Mu Shougong silently strengthened his resolve to become stronger.

It knows why its trainer is crying.

If I were strong enough, Qianxue wouldn't have to put up with this kind of humiliation.

It must become stronger, and then avenge Qianxue.

However, Chiyuki did not understand the increasingly determined look in Kikami's eyes.

Seeing that the tree spirit was staring straight at her, she assumed that the tree spirit was still worried about her.

"Let's go, Treecko, let's head into the city!"

So after patting the tree-headed bird, Chiyuki walked towards the town with a smile on her face.

"No~"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Mu Shougong silently called out and looked ahead.

It will definitely, definitely, never let Qianxue suffer such injustice again.

It's determined to make Qianxue the champion!

"Greek! (Qingyuan, aren't you being too cold to that little girl?)"

"Gorai! (If you keep acting like this, how are you going to find a partner in the future!)"

Walking on the streets of the town, Scorpion King, Qingyuan's number one bodyguard, said to Qingyuan with a conflicted expression.

"How old are you? Why are you telling me what to do!"

"Should I send you to the breeding center? There are lots of Ditto there, so you can have many companions!"

"You're always talking about being with your partner; anyone who didn't know better would think you'd already broken through to the Heavenly King level!"

Upon hearing Scorpion King's words, Qingyuan immediately looked displeased and spoke to Scorpion King.

Every day is already annoying because he was forced to take on a disciple, and now Scorpio King dares to provoke him.

I was really too gentle with it. I'll give it extra training when I get back, that's why it talks so much.

"Ge Lei! (I'm just worried you'll grow old alone!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King scratched his head and smiled at Qingyuan.

"Hehe, then hurry up and break through to the Heavenly King level!"

"Once I become a Champion-level trainer, what kind of partner can't I find? Why would I have to worry about growing old alone!"

Upon hearing Scorpion King's words, Qingyuan gave it a cold laugh and said.

"Greetings! (Qingyuan, don't worry, I'll take care of your partner!)"

"Grumble! (Breaking through to the Heavenly King level? That's a piece of cake for me, just you wait, Qingyuan!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King immediately became interested.

He quickly patted his chest and assured Qingyuan.

To the uninitiated, its appearance might make one think it's about to break through to the Heavenly King level tomorrow.

"Alright, then I'll be waiting to see!"

"To help you break through to the Heavenly King level faster, we'll go back and do extra training. If you don't finish, we'll deduct a day's worth of sour lemon candy from your allowance!"

Upon hearing Scorpion King's words, Qingyuan immediately patted Scorpion King on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Well..."

"No arguments allowed!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King was about to speak when he was silenced by Qingyuan's five words.

"Don't say that, Qingyuan. I'm only thinking about your future!"

"Hey! (How about we don't deduct so much? Half a day is acceptable!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King immediately ran behind Qingyuan, massaging his back while speaking obsequiously to him.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan only replied with four words to Scorpion King.

"No discussion!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King felt his world turn gray.

It seemed to sense that a whole bunch of sour lemon candies had left it.

"Gorai! (No! Sour lemon candy!)"

Snowflakes are falling, and the north wind is howling.

Qianxue is not the female lead; she is just a friend of the protagonist, a slightly spoiled rookie trainer who aspires to become a champion!
