Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 363 The Quartz Conference Opens!

"I feel like you're thinking something impolite, bro!"

Seeing Qingyuan's actions, Qianxue was speechless.

No, absolutely not!

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan quickly spoke to Qianxue.

Just kidding! He's such a proper person, how could he say someone has a flat chest in his mind in front of them?

"Qingyuan, what are you doing? Hurry up and bring the tray over here!"

Just then, Qiao Yiran's voice rang out from the side.

"Miss Joey is still waiting for my help, so I won't keep you company any longer. I'll be going now!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan suddenly raised his head and glanced in Qiao Yiran's direction.

After Qianxue spoke, she quickly ran towards Qiao Yiran's direction.

"Oh, see you on the field, bro!"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue was stunned and only managed to call out to Qingyuan's back.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan simply waved to Qianxue and went on to help Qiao Yiran.

Time passed little by little until Qingyuan finished helping Qiao Yiran with the matters at the Elf Center.

It was already around 6 p.m.

"Has Ash and the others not arrived yet?"

On the steps in front of the Pokémon Center, Qingyuan ate the popsicle that Qiao Yiran had given him, looking at the sunset in the distance with a contented expression, and said to Qiao Yiran.

Let alone enjoying an ice cream while watching the sunset in the evening breeze, that is indeed a rather pleasant thing.

Especially since the Indigo League is about to begin, the streets are full of curious trainers wandering around.

This immediately enhanced the pleasant feeling in the scene.

Of course, Qingyuan also knew that this kind of scene could only be seen today.

After the opening ceremony is held tomorrow and the two rounds of preliminary rounds are completed.

Most of the trainers on this street will have to leave Indigo Plateau.

By then, most of those remaining will be players who have a chance to make it into the top 32.

"No, they should still be in Professor Oak's research lab!"

"We should arrive here for the opening ceremony tomorrow!"

"It's a pity they won't be able to see tomorrow's opening ceremony!"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiran also ate her popsicle and said to Qingyuan.

Qiao Yiying's medical skills are slightly better than hers, and she was selected to be the emergency doctor at the sidelines of the competition tomorrow. She is currently undergoing intensive pre-match training.

So now it's up to her to keep Qingyuan company.

"That's not necessarily true. Knowing that kid's style, he might try to become a torchbearer tomorrow!"

Upon hearing Qiao Yiran's words, Qingyuan lay down on the steps, dangling an ice cream stick, and spoke to Qiao Yiran.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yiran lowered her head and thought for a while.

Ultimately, she felt that what Qingyuan said made some sense.

She had also spoken to Xiaozhi beforehand; that guy never plays by the rules.

So it's not impossible that Ash might become a torchbearer along the way.

"Shouldn't you have argued back?"

Noticing Qiao Yiran's silence, Qingyuan asked her with some surprise.

"Why should I argue? It's not like Ash wouldn't do something like that!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiran looked at Qingyuan with a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, a bead of cold sweat immediately trickled down Qingyuan's forehead.

Damn it, Ash, just how unreliable are you?

Anyone who knows you knows you're capable of doing something like this.

"This is boring. I'm going back to sleep. I have a match tomorrow, and I need to recharge!"

You should get some rest too!

After watching for a while, as the sun set, Qingyuan, having failed to get anything out of Qiao Yiran, said something to her and then got up and left.

After hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiran responded to Qingyuan and continued to squat there watching the sunset.

She usually stays at the Pokémon Center, so busy that she doesn't even know when it gets dark.

But there isn't enough leisure time to watch the sunset.

Now, taking advantage of this business trip, I can finally get some rest.

She absolutely needs to get some rest, and the sunset over the Quartz Plateau is absolutely stunning!

……

Time passed little by little, and soon the Quartz Convention ushered in its opening ceremony.

Qingyuan got up early that day and stood by the roadside to wait.

It wasn't early, really. By the time Qingyuan arrived at the roadside, the area where the torch relay runners would be passing was already packed with people.

If it weren't for Xia Qiu pulling him up, he probably wouldn't even have a place to stand right now.

"No, does everyone get up this early?"

Looking at the huge crowds on the roadside, Qingyuan said incredulously.

Isn't he just a torchbearer?

As for getting up so early in the morning to reserve a spot?

"Please, Qingyuan, this is the opening ceremony of the Quartz Conference! It only happens once every two years, so everyone definitely needs to come early to secure a good spot!"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Xia Na, who was riding on Xia Qiu's shoulders, rolled her eyes at Qingyuan.

"Okay, okay, now hold onto your brother's head!"

"Be careful not to fall and get a big bump on your head!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan nodded and said to Shana in an annoyed tone.

"My brother wouldn't drop me, hmph!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Shana snorted at him and then turned to look into the distance.

"Just you wait, when the runners come, they'll kick me, and I'll catch up on some sleep!"

Looking at the peaceful street in the distance, Qingyuan leaned against a street lamp and said to Xia Qiu.

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Xia Qiu responded to Qing Yuan, and then he and his sister looked into the distance, waiting for the figures of the torch runners.

For some reason, Qingyuan always falls asleep easily in noisy environments.

This may be related to the fact that he often fell asleep in class in his previous life.

"Hey, big brother!"

Just as Qingyuan was getting drowsy and about to drift off to sleep,

A voice that rang in his ears startled him.

The sleepiness that had finally crept in vanished instantly.

"Holy crap, do you know how scary it can be?! Who is it?!"

Qingyuan shouted in the direction the sound came from, then turned around to see which idiot was yelling loudly in someone's ear.

"I'm so sorry, brother, I'm so sorry!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue immediately apologized to him.

Looking at this figure, Qingyuan's lips twitched, but he finally spoke.

"It's alright. If it's you, then it's normal, since you're not quite normal!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue was completely bewildered. Just as she was about to ask a question, she heard...

"They're here! The torch relay runners are here!"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue no longer cared about what Qingyuan meant by his words and quickly looked towards the track ahead.

As a member of the Hoenn community, this might be the only opportunity she'll ever have to see the torch relay runners.

After all, once she leaves the Kanto region after the Quartz Conference, she may never come back.

So she really cherishes this opportunity. In front of the torch runners, all other unpleasant things can take a backseat!
