Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 232 Making Friends in Progress! (Using Dragon Dance for Garchomp! Bonus chapter for the pro!

"Pikachu~"

Just as Pichola was enjoying its meal...

A voice, clearly filled with anger, came from the tree.

Upon hearing this sound, Pichu, who had been happily eating, froze on the spot.

Oh no, its mother found out it was doing something naughty.

"Ne-do? (Why aren't you eating?)"

Sensing Pichu's movement, Nidoran looked up from the energy cube in front of him.

Looking at Pichu in front of him, he asked with a puzzled expression.

This guy was acting like a starving ghost before, stuffing his mouth full of cubes as if it were a burden.

Why did it suddenly stop?

Are they just tired of eating it?

Thinking of this, Nidoran lowered his head again and took another bite of the energy cube.

It hasn't changed at all, so what's wrong with Pichu?

"Ne-do! (What's wrong with you?)"

Pichu, who was looking up at the book, froze on the spot.

Nidoran nudged Pichu with his head and asked with a puzzled look.

"Gudong~"

"Picchu~ (My mom's here!)"

Upon hearing Nidoran's words, Pichu swallowed the Energy Cube in its mouth with difficulty and looked at it with a fearful expression.

"Nee-do! (So what if your mom's here? Let her come over and have a bite to eat!)"

Upon hearing this, Nidoran nonchalantly addressed Pichu.

Although it had never met its parents and had always lived alone in the wild as a solitary elf.

But it knew that it shouldn't act this way in front of its mother.

There's so much delicious food, why don't you call your mother over to have some? Why are you still standing there?

But the next second, Nidoran understood why Pichu was so afraid of its mother.

"Pikachu~ (Didn't I tell you to stay in the tree?)"

Upon seeing Pichu, Pikachu immediately dashed towards the tree with lightning speed.

Then, with a single Iron Tail attack, Pichu was knocked into a nearby bush.

Nidoran was so shocked by what he saw that his jaw almost dropped.

The food in its mouth fell out because its mouth was too big, and it didn't even realize it.

The scene before my eyes was truly astonishing.

Is this her biological mother?

Who uses special techniques to hit their child? Aren't they afraid of killing the child?

"Pikachu! (Who are you!)"

Just as Nidoran was still surprised at how hard Pikachu attacked Pichu.

Pikachu gave it a sharp look.

"Nico niico niico! (Hello Auntie, I'm Nidoran and I'd like to be friends with Pichu!)"

Nidoran, experiencing parental control for the first time in his life, immediately began to explain to Pikachu with exaggerated gestures.

"Pikachu? (That unreliable little guy, could anyone actually want to be friends with it?)"

Upon hearing Nidoran's words, Pikachu looked at Nidoran with a skeptical expression.

Upon hearing this, Nidoran's already tense heart became even more tense.

"Yes!"

Looking at the Pikachu in front of him, Nidoran nodded solemnly.

……

"Pikachu~ (You're a great lad!)"

After using the "Make Friends" ultimate move, along with the attack of the "Food Energy Cubes,"...

Pikachu, being naturally kind-hearted, easily became friends with Nidoran.

"Neta! (As expected, no one in this world can resist delicious food!)"

Looking at the Pikachu mother and child happily eating in front of me.

Nidoran said with a sigh.

"Pikachu? (What did you say?)"

Upon hearing Nidoran's words, Pikachu looked at Nidoran with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Neta! (I'm saying my trainer also wants to be friends with you!)"

Looking at Pikachu with its mouth stuffed full, Nidoran pointed in Qingyuan's direction and explained to it.

"Pikachu! (Is your trainer one of those humans?)"

Upon hearing Nidoran's words, Pikachu looked in Qingyuan's direction and asked it.

"Neta! (Yes, he's a really nice guy!)"

Hearing Pikachu's words, Nidoran nodded vigorously and said to Pikachu.

"Pikachu~"

Upon hearing this, Pikachu looked in Qingyuan's direction with a thoughtful expression.

Meanwhile, Pikachu was frantically stuffing food into his mouth.

Even though its face was swollen from being slapped by its mother, it still couldn't stop its determination to eat.

Seeing this, Nidoran twitched his lips in exasperation.

This Pichola is a real glutton.

From the moment it first came down from the tree until now.

Except for a short period when it was knocked away by its mother, its mouth never stopped.

Nidoran had secretly calculated the amount of food it ate.

This little guy has probably already eaten food bigger than himself.

Despite being a Pokémon himself, Nidoran was also curious about where Pichu had put all its food.

After a brief moment of thought, Pikachu...

Ultimately, they decided to take their tribe to Qingyuan and make friends with him.

Of course, it only did this because Nidoran and its son were good friends.

This is definitely not because there is delicious food in Qingyuan.

It wanted to plunder its own people.

Absolutely not!!!

……

"Ne-do! (Seiyuan, I'm back!)"

While comforting Qingyuan, who was in the camp listening to the ringing bell, he soon heard Nidoran's clear cry.

"Alright, don't be sad anymore. Look, Nidoran is back!"

Upon hearing Nidoran's cry, Qingyuan quickly patted Lingdangxiang's head and comforted him.

He truly hadn't expected that Nidoran would be so important to Bell Ringing's heart.

He simply told the bell that Nidoran had gone out to make friends.

When the bell rang, the entire elf stopped eating and drinking, and hid in a corner to cry and sulk.

"clang!"

Upon hearing Nidoran's cry, the bell also rang excitedly.

Then he stood still, staring straight at Qingyuan, without saying a word.

"I give up!"

"Let me hold you. It's my fault for taking your mount!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan, without a second thought, picked up the bell and said...

Normally, when the bell rings, they travel on Nidoran's back.

After all, with its small arms and legs, it can't walk very fast.

Now Qingyuan has sent his little mount, an important companion, out to make friends.

Then Qingyuan had no choice but to make his own bell-shaped mount.

"Clang~"

The bell, which Qingyuan had picked up, rang, and the previous dejection was gone.

Instead, he shouted happily.

Qingyuan still didn't understand what he was saying.

But he still understood what the bell meant: it was his turn!
