Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 285: The Scorpion King, Outdated in the Current Version!

When Qingyuan woke up in bed, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Ah~"

"That was a really good night's sleep!"

Looking at the sunset outside the window, Qingyuan stretched lazily and sighed!

"Ouch! (What a load of rubbish, you're crushing me!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Slowpoke, which he had been using as a pillow, cried out in resentment.

Good afternoon, Slowpoke!

Upon hearing Slowpoke's words, Qingyuan, completely oblivious to his own limitations, greeted Slowpoke!

"Ya dong! (I'm not feeling well at all!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Slowpoke, somewhat disarmed, shouted back at him.

"Oh, don't worry, it's just that I slept with your pillow for a few hours!"

"Don't be so angry!"

Hearing Slowpoke's words, Qingyuan grasped the soft flesh on Slowpoke's belly with both hands, kneading it as he spoke to Slowpoke.

"Yay! (You only slept with my head on yours for a few hours, next time I'll sleep with your head on mys for a few hours, okay!)"

"Oops! (And don't pinch my stomach, it's numb from you using it as a pillow!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Slowpoke waved its hand away from Qingyuan's hands that were making a fuss on its belly, and angrily said to him.

"I'll give you double the snacks tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan said something to Slowpoke and then continued to pinch Slowpoke's belly.

His skin was so smooth and soft to the touch that he couldn't put it down.

"Ya dong! (For the sake of the snacks!)"

Upon hearing this, Slowpoke pointed a finger at Qingyuan.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you extra snacks tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan quickly nodded to Slowpoke.

Seeing this, Slowpoke finally felt relieved and fell into meditation.

Meditation is a wonderful thing. During the time when Qingyuan was using the pillow, it was able to get through the time it couldn't move by relying on meditation.

It made him decide to delve deeper into meditation from now on; nothing beats the comfort of meditation, no matter how much he sleeps in.

Seeing Slowpoke lost in thought, Qingyuan stopped rubbing and kneading Slowpoke's belly to prevent it from meditating.

"Scorpion King, are you hungry?"

Looking at the time, Qingyuan realized it was already past four in the afternoon and called out to Scorpion King.

"Ge Lei?"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King, who had lost a lot of rock-paper-scissors with the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus and the others, looked up in bewilderment.

"Holy crap, what's going on with you?"

Looking at Scorpion King's bloodshot eyes, Qingyuan asked in shock.

"Gorgeous! (Why? Where did all my skills go?!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King did not answer Qingyuan directly. Instead, he looked at his own pincers and questioned himself with a face full of doubt.

Looking at the Scorpion King like this, Qingyuan couldn't help but cast a questioning glance at the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus.

"Sigh! (It's been losing all afternoon, it might be a little crazy!)"

Seeing Qingyuan looking at him, the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus made a rock-paper-scissors gesture at Qingyuan.

"Gore! (No!!!)"

Upon hearing Ironclad Tyrannosaurus's words, Scorpion King, who was already on the verge of collapse, completely broke down.

It used to be so easy for him to become Qingyuan's champion in rock-paper-scissors.

Leaving aside the original Charizard, which is a Trisolaran, and the optimized Scizor, let's set aside the rest.

Why did the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Rex become Trisolarans after undergoing one evolution?

Heavens above, what have I done wrong? You are too cruel to me, the Scorpio King!

Hearing this, Qingyuan was speechless.

Scorpio King uses two tools when playing rock-paper-scissors: scissors and rock.

Back when Scizor could only produce scissors before it evolved, and Charizard wasn't very smart.

Its two main attack methods can still make it very powerful.

But now Scizor is in the same boat as it; Charizard has become smarter after several evolutions.

Even the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus, after evolving, gained hands and its mind was no longer so simple.

Faced with this situation, Scorpio King's two signature moves were no longer effective.

If he's not mistaken, the Scorpio King is currently suffering repeated defeats.

"Come here, Scorpio King, I'll teach you a couple of moves!"

Seeing the Scorpion King's utterly devastated expression, Qingyuan waved to it and said...

"Roar! (No, this isn't fair!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Charizard immediately retorted.

It had finally managed to curb the arrogance of the Scorpion King, so how could it so easily allow the Scorpion King to reclaim its number one position?

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan paused, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed a bit unfair to Charizard and the others.

Upon seeing this, Scorpion King became anxious and immediately shouted loudly at Qingyuan.

"Greetings! (Qingyuan, I'll do anything to let you win!)"

Upon hearing Scorpion King's words, Qingyuan, who was about to refuse, stopped himself in his tracks.

Seeing the pleading look on Scorpio King's face, Qingyuan finally felt a pang of pity.

"Alright, I'll teach Scorpion King a move, and from now on, Scorpion King's training volume will increase by one-third!"

What do you guys think?

After standing there for a while and thinking, Qingyuan looked up at the Charizard and the others and said.

"Roar! (This...)"

"If you're not satisfied, you can come and learn a move from me, just like the Scorpion King. You'll only need to increase your training volume by one-third from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Charizard was about to retort.

Before it could finish speaking, Qingyuan spoke directly to it.

Upon hearing this, Charizard opened its mouth, but ultimately swallowed back the words it was about to say.

Learn one move if you want, and even with just one move, it has the power to beat the Scorpion King to a pulp.

Furthermore, Scorpion King increased its training volume by a third, so it can use that to mock Scorpion King during training sessions in the future.

"Shh! (I have no objection!)"

"Haha! (I have no objection!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus and the Scizor immediately spoke up.

Ironclad Tyrannosaurus is currently the most advanced version, and no matter what, it is confident that it can outperform Scorpion King.

Therefore, there is absolutely no way they could have any objections.

And the scyther goes without saying.

It's now the same version as Scorpion King.

It was even thinking that after the Scorpion King learned it, it would steal the knowledge from it, so how could it possibly have any objections?

"Hmph! (I have no objection either!)"

Seeing this, Charizard also let out a muffled roar at Qingyuan.

"Haha, they're all good kids!"

"Tonight, each of you three will get double the snacks, but Scorpio King's snacks will be taken away!"

"They're all good kids, I certainly can't let them down!"

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan immediately burst into laughter and said to the three of them, including Charizard.

Upon hearing this, the Charizards and the others immediately cheered with joy.

Scorpio King, however, was no longer as happy as before; in fact, he seemed on the verge of tears.

It is now beginning to wonder whether it has gained or lost by doing this.

Not only will my training volume increase by a third from now on, but I'm also out of snacks tonight.

But since it's already agreed upon, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Hopefully, the method Qingyuan taught it will be useful and help this scorpion regain its first place in the team.
