Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 361 Meeting an Old Friend!

"What are you talking about? Xiao Na was just curious!"

Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, Qing Yuan quickly waved his hand and addressed him.

It's just information about Slowpoke's evolution.

He has plenty of cards to play, so this information isn't a big deal to him.

"Qingyuan!"

Just then, another voice came, and Qingyuan looked in the direction of the sound.

Zhe Muda was standing in the distance, waving excitedly at him.

"Tsakida!"

Upon seeing Zhemutian's figure, Qingyuan excitedly waved to him.

As the first friend he made on his travels, Qingyuan had a pretty deep impression of him.

It was also because of him that Qingyuan developed the habit of not mocking his opponent after defeating them.

After all, it's really heartbreaking to see a grown man watching you cry.

"Haha, I knew you'd come!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Zhemutian came to Qingyuan's side, gave him a big bear hug, and laughed heartily.

"Of course, I'm here to win the Quartz Conference!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately spoke to Zhemutian with a proud expression.

"Haha, then I wish you success, you can definitely do it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhemu Tian immediately patted Qingyuan on the shoulder and said.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately frowned and said...

"What's wrong? You don't seem very optimistic!"

Looking at Qingyuan frowning in front of him, Zhemu Tian awkwardly wiped his nose.

After taking a look, Xia Qiu finally spoke.

"This is a new friend, aren't you going to introduce him to me?"

Hearing this clumsy attempt to change the subject, Qingyuan frowned even more deeply.

But she still introduced it to Zhemu.

"This is Xia Qiu from the Hoenn region, and this is her younger sister Shana!"

"Xia Qiu is also aiming for the Quartz Conference championship this time, so we can be considered rivals!"

After introducing Xia Qiu, Qingyuan patted Zhe Mutian on the shoulder and introduced Xia Qiu.

"This is Tsugita, the first friend I made after I embarked on my journey as a trainer!"

"Hello, my name is Zhemutian!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Zhemutian extended a hand to Xiaqiu.

"My name is Xia Qiu!"

Seeing this, Xia Qiu also shook hands with Zhe Mutian and introduced himself.

"Hi! My name is Shana, and I'm his sister!"

Looking at Zhemu Tian in front of her, Shana peeked out from behind Xia Qiu and pointed at him.

"Hello there!"

Upon hearing this, Zhekida waved to Shana and said something.

"By the way, have you checked into your accommodations at the Pokémon Center yet?"

After greeting Xia Qiu and Shana, Zhe Muda asked Qingyuan and the others.

"No, we're planning to stay at a hotel!"

Upon hearing this, Shana shook her head and said to Zhemu Tian.

"No, I'm planning to find a hotel to stay in later!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan shook his head and said.

"Staying in a hotel is fine, but staying at the Elf Center is better!"

"The Pokémon Center can quickly heal Pokémon and even replace them!"

"And the schedule for this Indigo League was also displayed on the Pokémon Center's big screen!"

"It would be more convenient to stay at the Pokémon Center, but that's just a suggestion!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Zhemu Tian analyzed the situation for Qingyuan and the others.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan and Xiaqiu fell silent.

They didn't stay at the Elf Center simply because the hotel was more comfortable, and they weren't short of money.

That's why I decided to stay at a hotel.

But now Zhekida tells them that it would be more convenient to stay at the Pokémon Center.

This made them start to think.

They all came for the championship, so the comfort of their accommodations wasn't that important.

Moreover, the hotel rooms weren't necessarily more comfortable than the rooms at the Elf Center that Miss Joy and her friends had prepared.

"Let's stay at the Pokémon Center!"

After thinking it over carefully, Qingyuan looked up at Zhemutian and said.

"Me too!"

Hearing this, Xia Qiu also raised his head and spoke to Zhe Mutian.

"Then we need to hurry to the Pokémon Center. It's packed right now, and if we're late, we might not get a number!"

Upon hearing this, Zhe Mutian quickly addressed Qingyuan and the others.

"What are you waiting for? Let's head to the Pokémon Center!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan did not hesitate at all and left a message.

He then took off running towards the Pokémon Center.

He then realized why he had come to the Quartz Plateau ahead of schedule.

Damn it, Qiao Yiran asked him to help, and he's been delayed for so long.

Qiao Yiran's anger was probably enough to boil water.

Seeing this, Tsugita and the others quickly followed.

"Hey, wait for me!"

……

"Qingyuan, where have you been? Why are you only just arriving?!"

"Do you know how busy I am? You promised to come help me, but I didn't see you until it was dark!"

"Now I know what it means to be a man's mouth—a lying devil!"

At the counter of the Pokémon Center, Qiao Yiran was checking Qingyuan in while complaining to him.

"I'm so sorry, Sister Ran. I ran into some friends on the way, which caused the delay!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qingyuan immediately apologized to Qiao Yiran.

"It's alright, Yuan. My sister is just exhausted, that's why she's a little resentful!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiying explained to him from the side.

"Go away, don't tell me. I'm mainly angry that this kid broke his promise. He said he'd come and help me!"

"We didn't see a single person all day!"

Upon hearing Qiao Yiying's words, Qiao Yiran also spoke directly to Qiao Yiying.

At the same time, he didn't forget to mention Qingyuan in his words.

"Red Bean, please tell me about Marseille. When we get back, I'll treat you and Xiaoying to dinner!"

"Please calm down and stop being angry!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan quickly smiled obsequiously at Qiao Yiran.

"I'll forgive you this time because you're sincere. But if you go back on your word again, it won't be so easy!"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiran wisely said to Qingyuan that it was time to stop.

……

"Whoo~"

After checking in, Qingyuan finally plopped down in a restaurant chair and let out a huge sigh of relief.

Putting everything else aside, Qiao Yiran put a lot of psychological pressure on people, making him quite nervous.

"I really admire you; you've gotten so close to Miss Joey."

Sitting opposite Qingyuan, holding two glasses of orange juice, Zhemu Tian looked at Qingyuan with admiration and said.

Xia Qiu and her brother went back to the hotel to pack their things.

So after checking in, the group of four, consisting of Qingyuan and his companions, became just Qingyuan and Zhemutian.

"Don't give me that nonsense, tell me what you're like!"

"How could my Dao Heart have been shattered? It couldn't be because of me!"

Taking the orange juice from Zhemutian, Qingyuan took a big gulp and said to him.
