Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 168 Taming Shellder

"Whoo~"

After seeing off the giant clams that acted as middlemen, Qingyuan looked at the numerous giant clams on the lake and let out a deep breath.

Hello!

Qingyuan tentatively greeted a group of giant clams on the lake surface.

"Click-click-click!"

The next second, the sound of the giant clams opening and closing their shells filled the entire lake.

Seeing this spectacular scene, Qingyuan waved his hand to stop them.

Then he began to introduce the Slowpoke beside him.

Because we need to find a future physical partner for Slowpoke.

Therefore, Qingyuan attaches great importance to this.

Just like matchmakers who introduce potential partners during the Lunar New Year, Qingyuan used every possible word of praise to describe Slowpoke.

After listening to Qingyuan's description, Scorpion King, who was standing to the side, said...

Looking at the wise-looking Slowpoke, it felt that this was a burden brought about by Slowpoke's overly strong talent.

Because Slowpoke's psychic power was too strong, so strong that it even backfired on itself.

Its body maintains a wise expression for a long time in order to protect its safety.

"Now, those who wish to evolve with Slowpoke, please come to the shore!"

After finishing his long speech, Qingyuan looked at the many large tongue shells whose eyes were sparkling with excitement.

He pointed to the shore in front of him with his right hand and said.

"Whoa~"

Upon hearing this, a large group of Shellders that had their eyes on Slowpoke swam towards the shore.

Meanwhile, the Shellders that didn't take a liking to Slowpoke silently sank to the bottom of the lake, leaving only a ripple on the surface.

"First of all, thank you so much for choosing Slowpoke!"

"But I'll let Slowpoke make the choice later, since there's only one Slowpoke after all!"

"So Slowpoke will definitely have to choose one that catches its eye!"

"But after Slowpoke makes its selection, everyone, don't rush off!"

"I've prepared some small gifts for everyone, so please take some with you!"

Looking at the dozen or so giant tongue clam shells in front of him, Qingyuan said with a hint of apology.

"Whoa~"

Upon hearing this, the giant tongue shells all shook their heads in unison, indicating to Qingyuan that he shouldn't worry about it.

"Alright, Slowpoke, come and choose!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan spoke directly to the Slowpoke standing to the side.

"Ya-dong!"

Upon hearing this, Slowpoke cried out and went to the shore, staring blankly at the giant clams in the water.

"Yay! (That's it!)"

After a long two-minute pause, Slowpoke finally pointed to a large Shellder in the water and said...

"Whoa!"

Upon hearing Slowpoke's words, the chosen Shellder jumped out of the water and lunged at Slowpoke's tail.

"Scorpion King, stop it!"

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan was immediately shocked. He shouted at Scorpion King while picking up Slowpoke with both hands.

Fortunately, Scorpio King is quite fast.

Before Shellder could bite Slowpoke's tail.

Scorpion King delivered a powerful scissor punch, trapping the giant tongue clam in mid-air.

"Huh?"

Looking at the Scorpion King that was holding half of its shell, the Shellder called out to Qingyuan with a puzzled expression.

Wasn't the plan to choose an evolution partner for Slowpoke?

Why doesn't it evolve into Slowpoke after this selection?

"Hey, wait a minute, tuna!"

"I'm planning to evolve Slowpoke into Slowking!"

"What you need to bite is not Slowpoke's tail, but its head!"

"And now is not the time to let Slowpoke evolve!"

Looking at the confused expression on the giant clam's face, Qingyuan said with lingering fear.

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Big Tongue Shell, who had been looking puzzled, finally showed an expression of understanding.

"You should go into the Poké Ball first!"

"I will teleport you to a place where someone will take care of you!"

"I'll send you back when I need you again!"

Looking at the giant tongue shell of the Scorpion King, Qingyuan took out a Field Ball and said.

"Whoa~"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Big Tongue Shell nodded and barked at Qingyuan.

He then directly manipulated the half-shell to crash into the button on the field ball.

"Ding dong!"

The notification sounded as the Poké Ball was successfully captured.

Shellder, which is used as a material for Slowpoke's evolution, was successfully captured by Qingyuan.

"Thank you so much for choosing Slowpoke!"

After putting away Shellder's Poké Ball.

As Qingyuan looked at the dozen or so giant tongue clam shells by the lake, he took out a few water-based energy cubes from his bag and fed them to them.

"Wow~ (So delicious, thank you!)"

The simple-minded Big Tongue Clam didn't pay attention to Qingyuan's words.

However, after tasting the deliciousness of the water-based energy blocks.

Suddenly, the clam shells began to chirp and sing, all of them expressing their gratitude to Qingyuan.

"It's fine!"

Hearing these words of thanks, Qingyuan quickly waved his hand and said...

After finishing the energy cubes given to them by Qingyuan, the Clams quickly said goodbye to Qingyuan and left the lakeside.

Seeing this, Qingyuan tidied up his things and put away the Slowpoke.

"Let's go, let's keep looking around and see if we can find you a few more henchmen!"

Qingyuan slung the spatial backpack over his shoulder and smiled at the Scorpion King.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing this, Scorpio King nodded with a smile.

It doesn't have many hobbies, but showing off in front of its underlings is one of them.

The thought of being able to show off in front of all its underlings is making it excited and its hands itchy.

"I really want to find something to smash!"

As Scorpio King pondered this, he noticed a rather nice rock nearby.

Without the slightest hesitation, Scorpion King smashed a rock half a person's height to pieces with a single Crab Claw Hammer.

"boom!"

Hearing the loud noise behind him, Qingyuan was startled.

"Scorpio King, are you out of your mind?!"

Looking at Scorpio King's "masterpiece," Qingyuan said speechlessly.

"Waaah! (Help!)"

Before Scorpion King could say anything after hearing Qingyuan's words.

A shout came from the pile of rubble nearby.

Upon hearing this voice, Scorpion King stared blankly at Qingyuan.

"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and save the elf!"

Seeing Scorpio King staring blankly at him, Qingyuan cursed irritably.

He then rushed towards the pile of rubble.

Damn it, I came to the Wild Area and failed to kill the Pokémon that tried to attack me.

Instead, because Scorpion King was itching to kill, he killed another elf.

"Greek!"

Seeing Qingyuan's actions, Scorpion King also shouted and rushed towards the pile of rubble.

Good heavens, it really just got an itch and smashed a rock.

Who would have thought that there were elves hiding behind that rock?

And it just so happened that it was buried under a pile of rubble.
