Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 87 "Meditation" Training Method!

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound came from above, leaving Slowpoke completely bewildered.

Looking at the dazed beast holding its head and looking at it with a wronged expression.

Qingyuan said irritably.

"Look at you, look at you! I tell you to exercise regularly, but you don't!"

"Now look what's happened! You can't even control the power of your skills!"

"I'll go easy on you, let's have some fun!"

"You just instantly defeated them, don't they have any pride?"

"Go back and practice more!"

"Ya-dong! (No!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's last words about extra training, Slowpoke stopped holding its head.

He immediately slid to his knees, grabbed Qingyuan's trouser leg, and loudly begged for mercy.

"Ya dong ya dong! (Don't blame me, who would have thought this trumpet bud would be so weak!)"

Slowpoke clung to Qingyuan's trouser leg and began to cry loudly.

It's all because the opponent was too weak; it's really not its fault!

"Get up right now! I'm telling you, you can't avoid this extra training!"

"It's no use no matter who pleads for you!"

Looking at the Slowpoke clinging to his trouser leg, Qingyuan said irritably.

"Ya dong ya dong! (No, no!)"

Slowpoke immediately wrapped all four of its legs around Qingyuan's legs, shaking its head and shouting at him incessantly.

"Get up! Get up now!"

Qingyuan moved his legs and shouted loudly at Slowpoke.

"Yadong! (You made me practice more, so I'm not getting up!)"

Slowpoke hugged Qingyuan's leg, shook its head, and shouted loudly.

"Are you trying to play dirty tricks on me?!"

"Fine, don't get up. You're definitely going to have to do extra training!"

"Even if Jesus came, it wouldn't make a difference!"

I called out to the shameless Slowpoke twice more, to see if it would get up.

Qingyuan dragged Slowpoke away from the battlefield, hurling threats at Slowpoke as they went.

Slowpoke was determined to get Qingyuan to cancel its extra training.

So it clung tightly to Qingyuan's leg, refusing to let go.

He watched as Qingyuan dragged himself toward him on his legs.

Tie Yan laughed heartily, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

"You two have such a good relationship!"

"Back in the day, Lobster Soldier and I were often like this too!"

"In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan gave Slowpoke's head a hard tap.

"This guy is no match for your lobster soldier, uncle!"

"It always slacks off when I try to exercise it!"

"That's good now. As I said before, let it fight slowly and give it some face!"

"As a result, this idiot couldn't even control his own skills and got instantly killed!"

"That kid's about to cry, can't you be a little more careful?!"

As Qingyuan spoke, he suddenly felt unsatisfied, so he squatted down and kept kneading the Slowpoke's cheeks with both hands.

"Ya-dong! (This isn't my fault, who would have thought that guy was so weak!)"

"Yay! (I only used less than a third of my strength, who would have thought that guy would be instantly defeated!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Slowpoke retorted while pushing Qingyuan's hands away with both of its own.

Its face felt very uncomfortable from being rubbed by Qingyuan.

Seeing this, Qingyuan took the opportunity to remove it from his leg.

I hugged it like a pillow.

Looking at Qingyuan and Slowpoke playing around in front of him.

Tie Yan took a sip of the tea the crew had just brought him and said earnestly.

"That's not how you say it. Each Pokémon has its own method of being raised!"

"Treating the root cause and developing a suitable training method for each Pokémon—that's what we trainers should do!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan was stunned and glanced at the dazed beast in his arms.

"But surely the cultivation methods in the cultivation manual are correct!"

Hearing Qingyuan refute his words, Tieyan spoke again.

"The training manual obtained from the Alliance is definitely authoritative!"

"However, every Pokémon is a unique individual, and the training methods in the breeding manual are not applicable to all Pokémon!"

"There's a saying that goes, 'It's better to have no books than to believe everything in them.' As a trainer, you need to be flexible!"

"Whoa!"

After saying that, Tieyan took another sip of tea.

"To believe everything in books is worse than having no books at all!"

Qingyuan glanced at the dazed beast wriggling in his arms and murmured absentmindedly.

Qingyuan's journey was very smooth, except for those few hours in the groundhog cave, which made him somewhat collapse.

At other times, Qingyuan has never experienced any setbacks.

Moreover, during this long journey, the strength of the Azure Scorpions has been steadily increasing.

This led to Qingyuan, who had little knowledge of the world, treating the cultivation manuals he exchanged from the Alliance as priceless treasures, reading them carefully every day.

However, elves are not robots; each one can act according to a predetermined program.

The elves also have their own personalities and thoughts.

How could a training manual that can be redeemed for just a few hundred contribution points possibly be suitable for all Pokémon?

Using the training manual as material, you should develop your own training plan; that's what trainers should do.

Qingyuan had always done the opposite, using the cultivation manual as the main plan and then interspersing some training plans as a supplement.

A mature trainer should train each Pokémon individually based on its personality traits.

Seeing Qingyuan's look of realization, Tieyan smiled and said.

"Figured out?"

"I've figured it out, thank you, uncle!"

Qingyuan nodded and grinned at Tieyan, showing off his two rows of big teeth.

"Alright, I know you have white teeth, but you don't need to let them out in the wind every day!"

"Be careful, the sea breeze might blow you away!"

Looking at Qingyuan grinning with his two rows of big teeth, Tieyan took a sip of tea and teased him.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan's expression immediately changed, revealing a speechless look.

"I have to say, uncle, you really know how to spoil the fun!"

"Hehe, no need to compliment me, I know!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan was even more speechless. As expected of a seasoned veteran, he had no idea what it meant to be embarrassed.

"By the way, after the match, have your kid go and learn some meditation from my silly hippo!"

Seeing Qingyuan Tieyan's speechless expression, he suddenly spoke up.

"???"

Qingyuan looked at Tieyan with a blank expression. He was not well-educated and really didn't know why he wanted to teach the Slowpoke to meditate.

"Slowpoke, these kinds of Pokémon are generally quite lazy, and most of them like to stay in one place and just sit there daydreaming!"

"If I'm not mistaken, it must be very difficult to train your Slowpoke on a regular basis!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan nodded. Indeed, Slowpoke was very lazy, and it was difficult to train it.

But what does this have to do with teaching Slowpoke to meditate?

Seeing Qingyuan nod, Tieyan coughed twice and continued.

"Prolonged use of the Meditation skill can enhance Slowpoke's psychic abilities."

"At the same time, after meditation, Slowpoke will feel refreshed and will not feel tired at all!"

"Let Slowpoke use meditation instead of training. This way, Slowpoke won't resist training, and it will also enhance Slowpoke's strength!"

"This is a training method that kills two birds with one stone!"

"And most importantly!"

At this point, Tie Yan suddenly lowered his voice, and Qing Yuan had to lean closer to hear him.

"Whether it's the Slowpoke or King Hippo's powerful superpowers, they will become a great asset to them!"

"This is a solution that solves the problem once and for all!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan's eyes gleamed.

"Please teach me, sir!"

Qingyuan bowed to Tieyan and shouted excitedly.
