Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 167 Preparing for Slowpoke's Evolution!

Ignore Scorpio King's pitiful expression.

Qingyuan focused intently on observing his surroundings.

It was because Nidoran and Bell, two exceptionally talented Pokémon, prevented him from having a successful start.

Qingyuan is now extremely interested in catching Pokémon in the wild.

What surprises await him next?

However, reality is often cruel.

In the forest of monotonous trees and shrubs.

Qingyuan's enthusiasm stemmed from capturing two exceptionally talented Pokémon.

It immediately collapsed completely like an avalanche.

"Scorpio King, how about we find a place to sleep?"

As Qingyuan walked forward, he said to the Scorpion King beside him with a look of utter despair.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King, who had long since lost interest in the forest, immediately nodded in agreement.

The weather is so nice today, it's rare that Qingyuan didn't force it to train.

On such a nice day, you should find a place to take a nap, not wander around aimlessly in the forest.

I harbored a strong desire to find a place to sleep soundly.

Qingyuan soon arrived at a valley with the Scorpion King.

There is a clear lake in the valley, with exceptionally beautiful scenery.

"Gorgeous! (This is such a great place to sleep!)"

Looking at the beautiful scenery in the valley, Scorpion King couldn't help but sigh.

"It is indeed a good place to sleep, but I have more important things to do now!"

Qingyuan looked at the several large tongue shells sunbathing by the lake and said with a solemn expression.

"Ge Lei?"

Upon hearing this, Scorpio King looked puzzled.

There's nothing more important than sleeping right now.

Wait a minute, didn't we find this place because we wanted to sleep?

"Oh dear, this concerns the life-or-death matter of Slowpoke's evolution!"

"Do you think this matter is important or not?"

As Qingyuan spoke, he walked toward the lake in the valley.

What about Slowpoke's evolution?

How could it not know? Could there be some great treasure hidden in this lake?

Hearing Qingyuan's perfunctory words, the already bewildered Scorpio King became even more bewildered.

However, Qingyuan had already headed into the valley.

Scorpion King, Qingyuan's most important partner and bodyguard, had no time to think about it further.

He could only follow Qingyuan with a head full of questions.

"For Slowpoke to evolve, it needs a Shellder to bite its head or tail!"

"I was originally thinking of posting a quest on the Pokédex sometime and spending money to buy a Shellder!"

"But now that we've encountered it, we don't need to spend that money!"

"Watch how I manage to snag a Shellder for Slowpoke!"

Looking at the Scorpion King's puzzled expression, Qingyuan rummaged through his spatial backpack and said to the Scorpion King.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing this, Scorpio King immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.

Especially when it saw the few Slowpoke water-attribute energy cubes in Qingyuan's hand.

Scorpion King's admiration for Qingyuan reached its peak.

Wow, using Slowpoke's Energy Cube to trick Shellder into evolving Slowpoke is a win-win situation!

"Watch closely!"

Holding the water-attribute energy cube, Qingyuan said something smugly to the Scorpion King.

He then walked directly toward a large tuna clam that was sunbathing.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

"Hello Big Tongue Clam, can I ask you something?"

Qingyuan approached the giant tongue clam, tapped its shell with his hand, and spoke softly.

"Whoa~"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the giant tongue clam slowly opened its shell, revealing a narrow slit.

Upon seeing that it was Qingyuan, a human, the Giant Tongue Clam finally opened its shell completely.

Because the staff of the Wild Area often come to the Wild Area to observe the living conditions of the rare Pokémon that have just entered the park.

The reason for providing them with targeted protection.

The elves of the Wilderness are not unfamiliar to humans.

To a certain extent, they even trust humans more than their own kind.

After all, who wouldn't trust someone who feeds you every day and protects you?

At the same time, it's someone who lets you not do any work.

Looking at the giant tongue clam that had opened its shell, Qingyuan said with a smile.

"Could you help me find your clansmen?"

"I'll tell you, I'm planning to find a partner for my Slowpoke to evolve with!"

"I will pay you!"

After saying that, he took out a water-attribute energy cube and placed it in front of Shellder.

"Whoa~"

Looking at the energy cube in front of him, Shellder tentatively took a bite.

Then it let out a happy cry.

"Whoa! (Okay!)"

Seeing the energy cube in Qingyuan's hand, Shellder barked at Qingyuan.

Then he jumped directly into the lake.

Although it is quite amazing that a shellfish can jump.

However, in order to find a partner to assist Slowpoke in its evolution.

Qingyuan remained standing there, patiently waiting.

"Oh right, Slowpoke, come out here for a second!"

Just as Qingyuan stood there waiting, he suddenly seemed to remember something.

They released Slowpoke directly from its Poké Ball.

"Ya-dong?"

Looking at Qingyuan in front of him, Slowpoke let out a puzzled cry.

"I'll pick out a Shellder for you to help you evolve later!"

"Come out and take a look too. Tell me which one you like!"

Seeing Slowpoke's blank stare, Qingyuan rubbed its head and said.

"Ya-dong!"

Upon hearing this, Slowpoke nodded knowingly and then stood with Qingyuan in place to wait.

Qingyuan and Slowpoke didn't have to wait too long.

Just five minutes after Qingyuan and the Slowpoke had basked in the warm sun.

A series of bubbles suddenly rose from the calm lake surface.

"coming!"

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan immediately did a somersault and got up from the rocks on the shore.

They pulled Slowpoke to the lakeside.

Soon, seashells floated to the surface from the bottom of the water.

"Whoa!"

The giant tongue clam that Qingyuan had just asked for help called out to Qingyuan.

He then swam quickly toward the shore, ready to negotiate with Qingyuan.

"Whoa! (These are all guys planning to evolve into a Slowpoke!)"

"Whoa! (But they do have some requests; you can try communicating with them yourself!)"

The giant tongue clam called out to Qingyuan a few times and then finished explaining.

It floated on the water, its eyes fixed on Qingyuan.

Seeing this, Qingyuan very tactfully handed the few energy cubes in his hand to the Big Tongue Shell.

"Thank you, Big Tongue Clam! It's been a pleasure working with you!"

Seeing the big tongue shell looking happy after receiving the energy cube, Qingyuan said with a smile.

"Whoa! (It's a pleasure working with you!)"

Upon hearing this, the giant tongue clam cried out to Qingyuan before silently diving underwater.
