Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 266 The Enthusiastic Uncle and the Sandshrew!

"Of course! Sandshrew was my first Pokémon!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the uncle immediately burst into laughter and patted the pangolin's head.

"Ugh?"

"You're only ten years old?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan suddenly looked at the big tree in front of him with a shocked expression.

"Kuga kuga! (Hahaha!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the pangolin laughed so hard it rolled around on the ground.

"I'm almost forty!"

"It's just that I didn't have enough money when I was young, so I didn't get a starter Pokémon!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the uncle looked at Qingyuan with a black line on his face and said.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately looked embarrassed.

He really wants to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his feet and then hide inside it.

"Kuga kuga! (Hahaha!)"

Meanwhile, the pangolin was still rolling around at the uncle's feet, laughing heartily.

"Stop laughing, what's so funny!"

Seeing the pangolin's appearance, the uncle kicked it angrily and said irritably.

"Kuga!"

After being kicked by the uncle, the pangolin stopped laughing and sprang to its feet.

"Sorry, sir!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan apologized to the uncle with an embarrassed expression.

"It's alright, it's been so many years, I've long since let it go!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the uncle waved at Qingyuan and said with an indifferent expression.

"By the way, you're here to collect fossils, right?"

To ease Qingyuan's embarrassment, the uncle spoke first to Qingyuan.

Hearing this question, which had been asked before, Qingyuan was taken aback, then smiled and said to the uncle.

"Yes, I heard that quite a few people have dug up fossils here, so I came here to try my luck!"

"How can you dig for fossils without the right tools!"

"Here, take this!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the uncle immediately chimed in, enthusiastically handing his pickaxe to Qingyuan.

"No need, uncle, you still need it yourself!"

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan quickly waved his hand at the uncle and refused.

"You take it, I'm fine. I have a spare multi-purpose shovel in my bag, I'll use that to dig!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the uncle pointed to his backpack and said to Qingyuan with an indifferent expression.

"Kuga! (Yes, I have another one here!)"

Hearing the uncle's words, the pangolin raised its pickaxe and echoed his words.

It seems that Pokémon are always unconsciously learning from their trainers' every move.

Just like the saying goes, Pokémon will become more and more like their trainers.

This statement is perfectly embodied in the uncle and the pangolin.

The uncle and the pangolin were both very friendly to people.

"Then I'll shamelessly accept it!"

Qingyuan declined several times, but when he couldn't refuse, he finally took the pickaxe and smiled at the uncle.

"Hey, that's more like it!"

"Look at you, young man, you're not assertive at all!"

Seeing Qingyuan take the pickaxe, the uncle smiled and said to Qingyuan.

"Kuga! (Exactly, that's not satisfying at all!)"

The pangolin beside him mimicked the uncle's expression, repeatedly echoing his words like a broken record.

"What do you mean by this, little rascal?!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan pretended not to understand and rubbed the pangolin's head.

"Kuga!"

Upon hearing this, the pangolin put on a defiant expression, preparing to push away Qingyuan's mischievous hand on its head.

"Since you gave me a pickaxe, I'll give you some snacks too!"

"Try this!"

Seeing the pangolin's resistant attitude, Qingyuan took out a small bag of energy cubes from his bag.

After taking one out and putting it into the pangolin's mouth.

Seeing the little guy's satisfied expression, Qingyuan put the whole bag of energy cubes into the pangolin's arms.

After tasting the deliciousness of the thing in my arms.

The pangolin instinctively hugged the entire bag of energy cubes tightly to its chest.

"Oh dear, this is far too valuable!"

When the uncle standing nearby saw that Qingyuan had given the pangolin a power cube, he said something to Qingyuan.

On one hand, he was about to snatch the energy cube from the pangolin's arms and return it to Qingyuan.

Knowing that the thing in her arms was a delicious pangolin, how could she possibly let the old man take it away so easily?

He immediately clung tightly to the energy cube, curled up into a ball on the ground, and didn't move at all.

"Oh, you silly child!"

Upon seeing this, the uncle became somewhat angry and spoke to the pangolin.

"Alright, uncle, this is a gift for the sand rat!"

"We have to reciprocate, right? After all, you gave me a pickaxe!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan, who was standing to the side, quickly smiled and said to the uncle.

"That's different. How much is a pickaxe worth?"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the uncle immediately retorted.

"It's alright, in my opinion, the price difference between these two items isn't that big!"

"Let the pangolin take it!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately offered words of comfort to the uncle.

"Well... thank you, young man!"

Hearing this, the uncle looked at the pangolin, which had shrunk into a ball and wouldn't let him get the energy cube.

In the end, all he could do was thank Qingyuan.

"It's alright, I can still afford to feed the Sandshrew a few Power Cubes!"

"It's getting late, I was thinking of digging for a fossil, so I'll be going now, uncle!"

Hearing the uncle's words, Qingyuan offered him a word of comfort and then took his leave.

"Alright, then I wish you find a fossilized pterosaur today!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the uncle immediately offered his blessings to Qingyuan.

"Haha, then I'll take your good wishes!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately burst into laughter.

After saying goodbye to the uncle, Qingyuan continued walking towards the direction of Da Sha Valley.

The uncle originally wanted to be with Qingyuan.

Based on his years of experience digging for fossils, he planned to point out several places where Qingyuan was likely to find fossils.

Unfortunately, the sand rat was convinced that the old man was going to steal its energy cube.

It hugs the energy cube and shrinks into a ball, and no matter how much the uncle calls it, it won't change back.

Left with no other choice, the uncle had to stop where he was and prepare to coax the pangolin out first.

Seeing this, Qingyuan simply continued forward.

Because someone had previously unearthed fossils in Da Sha Gu.

This has led to people from the surrounding area, as well as travelers, all wanting to come here and dig a shovel.

After all, it's not a loss if you don't find it, but if you do, you'll be rich.

For this reason, Qingyuan has already encountered four or five groups of people carrying pickaxes along the way.

As for Qingyuan, it was because the uncle gave him a pickaxe.

They were also forced to become part of these people.

After carrying the pickaxe for four or five minutes, Qingyuan finally arrived at a canyon filled with giant rocks.

Seeing the people digging in the canyon, Qingyuan knew that they had arrived at Da Sha Valley!
