Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 249 A Brighter Future!

"I know!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan looked at the agreement and said nonchalantly to Qianxue.

"You know that, so why did you make me sign this agreement?"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue looked at Qingyuan with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot and said.

"But who told you that this was a private agreement?"

"Didn't you see the Alliance investigator's stamp?"

"After using that seal, this will be a legitimate agreement protected by the alliance!"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan put away the agreement and pointed to the mobile communication device in Qianxue's hand.

Upon hearing this, Qianxue quickly looked toward the stamped area on the agreement.

It wasn't until they discovered that it really was the seal of an Alliance investigator that they realized it.

She then looked at Qingyuan with a shocked expression.

"So you really are an Alliance investigator?"

Looking at Qingyuan, who had just been fierce, he had now regained his sunny, boyish charm.

Qianxue said with an incredulous look on her face.

"What, you didn't believe me before?"

Hearing this, Qingyuan looked up at Qianxue and asked casually.

"This...you..."

Upon hearing this, Qianxue immediately felt embarrassed.

She genuinely didn't believe Qingyuan was an Alliance investigator. Shouldn't Alliance investigators look capable and efficient?

Who looks like Qingyuan, like a sunny, cheerful young man?

His eyes occasionally revealed a clear sense of foolishness.

However, after learning about Qingyuan's identity as an Alliance investigator, Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though an agreement had been signed, Qianxue was still afraid that Qingyuan would kill her in the wild without anyone knowing.

However, if Qingyuan is an investigator for the Alliance, he should at least consider his future.

They wouldn't be so lawless as to kill themselves in the wild.

Having resolved his concerns, Qingyuan put the agreement away and instructed the Scorpion King and the others to keep watch for the night.

He then took his sleeping bag and returned to the tent to prepare for sleep.

When he found Qianxue, it was already almost dark.

After everything that has happened, it's already late at night.

He has to get up early to travel tomorrow, so he should go to bed early.

Seeing this, Qianxue took out a tent and other items from her spatial backpack and started setting it up.

Then the night passed without incident.

The next morning, after getting up, Qingyuan began preparing breakfast for Scorpion King and the others.

Of course, tree geckos are also among them.

Although the agreement was signed to have Qianxue take care of his daily life.

However, Qianxue currently has no supplies, and Qingyuan doesn't want her to touch his spatial backpack.

So for now, I'll have to do the breakfast preparation myself.

Around noon, he took out the ingredients in advance and asked Qianxue to prepare lunch for him.

After finishing lunch, Qingyuan shouldered his spatial backpack, mounted his armored rhinoceros, and prepared to continue his journey.

"Um, can I come up and sit for a bit too?"

Qianxue, who was standing to the side, saw Qingyuan get on the back of the armored rhinoceros and asked him with a look of excitement.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan looked down at the back of the armored rhinoceros.

Then he looked at Qianxue, who was wearing shorts, and after thinking for a long time, he finally spoke.

"The weather is hot now, and the armored rhinoceros's back gets very hot when exposed to the sun!"

"You're wearing shorts, and the Iron Rhino will burn you when it gets hot. You'd better not get on!"

Upon hearing this, Qianxue glanced at her shorts.

Then he glanced at Qingyuan, who was also wearing capri pants.

Then he pointed at Qingyuan's legs and said with a speechless expression.

"Aren't you pretty much like me?"

"Armored Rhinoceros, move out!"

Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan completely ignored her and directly gave an order to the armored rhinoceros.

He then rode it forward.

"Qingyuan, has anyone ever told you that you're a real jerk?!"

Seeing this, Chihiro shouted loudly at Qingyuan's back.

"Begin training!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan completely ignored Qianxue and gave an order to the Scorpion King and the others.

Then he lay down on the armored rhinoceros's back and started talking to it about the new training plan.

Given the impressive performance of the Iron Rhino last night, firing nearly a hundred shots without hitting the Scorpion King even once.

Qingyuan specifically allowed the armored rhinoceros to train while walking.

Even if it makes Qingyuan unsteady on his feet and causes him to fall, it doesn't matter.

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scizor and the others quickly entered training mode.

Scorpion King was left gliding beside Qingyuan, lost in thought.

Last night, it witnessed firsthand the leaf storm that Qingyuan unleashed with his telekinetic power.

This gave it new ideas on how to use the skill.

"Scorpio King, what are you doing?"

Looking at the Scorpion King, who wasn't training at all, but just gliding in the sky.

Qingyuan couldn't help but ask.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King called out to him.

Immediately afterwards, it landed on the back of the armored rhinoceros and told Qingyuan its thoughts.

Upon hearing Scorpion King's words, Qingyuan's eyes immediately lit up.

Since Scorpion King adopted the Poison Healing and Poison Defense tactics, he has paid less attention to Scorpion King.

After all, these two fighting styles alone are enough to make Scorpion King invincible among his peers.

He no longer needed to pay more attention to Scorpio King; he only needed to raise Scorpio King's level.

The goal is to enable it to break through to the Heavenly King level more quickly.

But Scorpio King's words today successfully inspired him again.

Scorpion King's Sharp Stone Attack and Earth Power skills have great potential for development.

The reason was that Scorpion King's Special Attack stat was only 45.

Therefore, Qingyuan did not pay much attention to Scorpion King's Earth Power skills.

But today, when Gliscor talked to him about developing skills, it reminded Qingyuan of Ash back in Sinnoh.

If your Special Attack stat is low, you don't need to use it for offense; you can use it for defense.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that the power of the earth can quickly construct stone walls is a testament to this.

You can then assign it as a defensive skill to defend against the Freeze Ray.

Although a fourfold weakness to ice is a symbol of strength, the Scorpion King's fourfold weakness to ice is truly giving Qingyuan a headache.

Despite possessing poison healing abilities, the Scorpion King can sustain itself in combat for extended periods.

However, if it gets instantly killed by an ice-type skill, then no matter how good Scorpion King's endurance is, it won't help.

At this moment, Scorpion King's ideas on skill development suddenly opened up Qingyuan's thinking.

In Qingyuan's mind, all sorts of random thoughts from his past life suddenly sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

For a moment, Qingyuan felt as if he had seen a brighter future.

It's past midnight! It's past midnight!
