Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 406, the final round begins!

It has to be said that Daidai Wang is quite experienced in coaxing children.

Under the onslaught of its telekinetic swing, Shana quickly went from crying to laughing.

Seeing this, Qingyuan fell into deep thought.

Perhaps he shouldn't have asked Scorpio King to look after the kids; Dumb King did a pretty good job looking after them!

"Ya-dong ya-dong ya-dong-dong~ (Twinkle, twinkle, little star~)"

Meanwhile, completely unaware that Qingyuan had prepared to have it watch the child, the dazed king was using its telekinesis to let Shana play on the swing while humming a cheerful lullaby.

This is a folk song that Qingyuan has always liked to hum.

Although Dazed King didn't know what the song meant, it still accidentally learned it.

It's frustrating not having a super-intelligent brain; some things you can learn just by looking at them.

……

After seeing that Dazedo had appeased Shana, Qingyuan and the others went to eat.

After fighting all morning, they must be starving by now.

After finishing their meal, Qingyuan, Xiaqiu, and Xiaozhi chatted for a while before returning to their seats.

The schedule for the championship match and the third-place match has now been announced.

The third-place match is scheduled for around 3 PM today.

This timing is actually quite unreasonable, considering that the second match of the semifinals would be very intense.

Around 3 PM, the Pokémon in the player who lost the second match might not have fully recovered.

However, considering that the organizers probably wanted to promote the championship match at 9 a.m. tomorrow.

This arrangement is actually understandable.

"Come on, Xia Qiu! Don't let this long trip end in such a disappointing third place!"

Watching the third-place match on the big screen this afternoon, Qingyuan patted Xiaqiu on the shoulder and said.

"Get out of here, I don't need you to worry about me!"

"Just mind your own business. Don't try to win second place again tomorrow, or I'll be too embarrassed to tell anyone that I lost to you!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Xia Qiu shoved Qingyuan's arm away and said coldly.

"You don't need to worry about that. I'm determined to win the championship this time!"

Seeing Xia Qiu's actions, Qing Yuan was not annoyed.

He patted his chest and said to Xia Qiu.

"Humph!"

"Making such big claims, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew!"

Just then, a cold snort rang out, and Takeda, standing to the side, looked coldly at Qingyuan and said.

He considered himself to be a very good-tempered person, but he was still angered by Qingyuan today.

What do you mean you're determined to win this championship? Does he look down on Takeda?

"What kind of boasting is that!"

"If I said that this championship is already in my pocket, that would be a boast!"

"What I just said was merely an expression of my ambition to win the championship!"

Looking at the angry Takeda in front of him, Qingyuan smiled and said to him.

This person isn't one of those disgusting guys from the Fufeng family, and he genuinely has real strength.

So even when the other party criticized him, Qingyuan did not go too far.

Moreover, what he just said was indeed a bit annoying.

He could talk about it privately with his friends, but unfortunately, Takeda was his opponent in the finals.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Let's settle this on the battlefield tomorrow!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Takeda snorted coldly at Qingyuan, then turned and left.

"Hahaha, you're still so determined to win, aren't you annoying now!"

Seeing this, Xia Qiu burst into laughter and said to Qing Yuan.

"Screw you!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan rolled his eyes at Xia Qiu, then stared intently at Wu Tian's departing figure.

This person is alright. Although he's a bit arrogant, he's not actually that annoying.

However, it could also be because the other party is capable. After all, there's a difference between being arrogant when you have the ability and being arrogant when you don't.

Just like today, if the person standing here saying those words were Fufeng Qianlong.

He'd definitely slap him across the face right away.

Are you kidding me? Who do you think you are, daring to act tough in front of me!

"Alright, I'm done joking around with you. I'm going to prepare for the competition!"

"You should also go and study this Takeda. He's quite strong; be careful he doesn't get caught off guard!"

Seeing Qingyuan lost in thought, Xia Qiu patted him on the shoulder.

After saying that, he left Qingyuan and walked towards his seat in the preparation area.

It's already past 1 p.m., and his third-place match is about to begin.

There was no time to go back to his room at the Pokémon Center for a nap, so he decided to take a short nap in the preparation area.

To save the day, I didn't have enough energy during the upcoming match, which led to my loss in the third-place match.

After all he's worked so hard for, he hasn't even secured a place as champion or runner-up. He should at least take third place!

Moreover, seeing this, Qingyuan did not disturb Xia Qiu any further.

Instead, he turned and walked out of the stands, intending to go back and carefully review Takeda's information to devise a strategy to deal with him.

Although Takeda wasn't as dangerous as Natsuki in Aohara's eyes, the two major explosions were not easy to deal with.

One wrong move and this huge explosion could cost him the game!

……

The next morning, at the Quartz Stadium, in the main arena of the competition.

Qingyuan and Takeda were standing at their respective command positions.

"The following is the final match of this Quartz Convention, and also the final round of the Quartz Convention!"

The champion and runner-up of this Quartz Convention will be determined in this competition!

Let's give a round of applause to our two athletes!

The commentator sat on the commentary platform, looking down at the spirited Qingyuan and Wutian, and shouted loudly into the microphone.

The audience present also gave the commentator a lot of face.

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers.

"Now we begin the final round of the Kanto Quartz Conference!"

"The two players in the match are Aohara from Tokiwa City in the Kanto region and Takeda from Kikyo City in the Johwa region!"

"Six Pokémon can be used in this match. If three of a team's Pokémon are the first to be unable to battle, the match will proceed to halftime, and the battleground will be changed!"

"If all six of one player's Pokémon are rendered unable to battle, then the other player wins!"

"The playing field for this match is a rocky terrain!"

"The match begins now!"

The referee, waving his flag, dutifully announced the rules of the match to Qingyuan and Wutian.

Although Qingyuan and Wutian were already extremely familiar with these rules.

But at this moment, both of them were listening attentively with serious expressions!
