Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 89 "The Roar of the Evil Dragon" Slowpoke

The process of learning meditation was not as mysterious as Qingyuan had imagined.

Tieyan simply gave an instruction to Slowpoke, asking it to teach Slowpoke to meditate.

Slowpoke and Slowpoke sat down and began to meditate.

"This……"

Qingyuan looked at the two pink hippos meditating in front of him and couldn't help but show a puzzled expression to Tieyan.

He really wanted to ask, is this right?

Don't the two Pokémon need to communicate with each other before teaching Slowpoke the Meditation skill?

Seeing Qingyuan's puzzled face, Tieyan patted him on the shoulder and said.

"This method was learned from the monks at the Bellflower Tower in Kikyo City!"

"Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to teach Slowpoke to meditate!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan nodded and then continued to look at the Slowpoke and the others.

Although the Tower of Trumpet Sprouts was famous, Qingyuan had only heard of it and was skeptical about whether their methods would work.

"Alright, stop looking. That's how Slowpoke learned to meditate!"

"Come on, let's go to the kitchen and see if the Savage Bass Soup is ready!"

As he spoke, Tieyan pulled Qingyuan's arm and walked out of the training room.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"No, sir, let me watch a little longer!"

As Tieyan forcefully pulled him away, Qingyuan struggled and shouted.

"Alright, it's just meditation, what's so interesting about it!"

"Hurry up and come with me to see if the fish soup is ready yet."

"Let me tell you, Lund's fish soup is absolutely amazing. You're in for a treat today!"

Unable to break free in the end, Qingyuan had no choice but to leave the training room following Tieyan's lead.

However, looking at Tie Yan's arms, which were almost as thick as his own thighs...

Qingyuan made a silent vow in his heart.

He must learn martial arts so that if he encounters this situation again in the future, he will show the other party what it means to be as immovable as a mountain.

"Sha!"

"Cool!"

In the crew mess, Qingyuan couldn't help but shout after finishing the fish soup at the bottom of his bowl in one gulp.

"Haha, see? I wasn't lying to you!"

"Lund's skills are truly exceptional!"

Seeing this, Tieyan laughed heartily from the side.

"Could I have another bowl, please?"

Qingyuan handed the bowl to a waiter/crew member standing nearby.

Then he turned to Lund and gave him a thumbs up.

"Uncle Lund! Your cooking is fantastic!"

Upon hearing this, Lund smiled at Qingyuan and then continued with his work.

"But sir, could I pack one up for Scorpio and the others to try?"

Qingyuan straightened the fish soup that the waiter had brought over on the table and said to Tieyan.

Upon hearing this, Tie Yan waved his hand and said in a very bold manner.

"Take as much fish soup as you want, we'll take as much as you like!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan thanked Tieyan and then continued his struggle with the fish soup in front of him.

……

The next morning, Qingyuan got up, stretched, and washed up.

They then left their rooms and went to the restaurant to eat the breakfast that the Iron Shrimp had prepared for the passengers.

Breakfast was a shad sandwich with freshly squeezed soy milk.

While he was having breakfast, crew member Xiaoyu suddenly started shouting through a megaphone in the dining room.

"Dear Qingyuan Trainer, your match is the first one today!"

"Please arrive at the deck combat area within two minutes, or you will be considered to have forfeited!"

"Dear..."

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan quickly drank the soy milk in one gulp, grabbed the shad sandwich, and ran towards the deck.

When Qingyuan arrived at the battlefield, his opponent was already standing there waiting for him.

"Sorry! Sorry! I'm late!"

Qingyuan apologized to the referee as he walked onto the battlefield.

Upon seeing Qingyuan arrive, the referee quickly began announcing the rules of the competition.

After announcing a long list of competition rules, the referee waved his flag and shouted loudly.

"The match begins. Both players, please send out your Pokémon!"

"Let your charm shine, my sweetheart!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Qingyuan's opponent, a little girl with purple hair, was the first to throw out her Poké Ball.

With a flash of red light, a brown Eevee quickly appeared on the battlefield.

"Buyi"

"You go too, Slowpoke!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan also released his "veteran" Slowpoke.

"Ya-dong!"

After spending a night at Charmeleon's Roar School, Slowpoke roared out once again.

Although she still looks very cute, the effect this time is very significant.

Perhaps it's because Eevee is a bit timid, but when faced with Slowpoke's roar...

The frail Eevee was so frightened that it cowered in place.

"Ya-dong? (Does it really work that well?)"

Looking at Eevee, who was lying on the ground in fright, Slowpoke tilted its head in confusion.

Charmeleon is indeed a very real Pokémon.

A roar is about unleashing all your power and energy.

Slowpoke, who thought he had learned Charmeleon's Roar, stood with his hands on his hips, looking smugly at Eevee opposite him.

"Ibrahimovic! Don't be afraid, believe in yourself!"

"Just like yesterday, as long as we persevere, we will definitely defeat our opponents!"

Eevee's trainer, the little purple-haired girl named Shana.

He was cheering and shouting for Ibrahimovic with a determined look on his face.

Eevee's appearance is based on a fox, with most of its fur being brown. Its distinctive feature is the fluffy cream-colored fur around its neck and tail.

Eevee is a rare Pokémon that can evolve into many different Pokémon. It has an unbalanced and unstable genetic makeup, making it very easy for it to evolve into different types of Pokémon depending on the surrounding environment. Rays emitted from rocks can cause mutations in its body.

Looking at his somewhat adorable opponent, Qingyuan took out his Pokédex and began collecting information about Eevee.

While stalling for time, Qingyuan was also silently cheering on the little girl and Ibu.

The little girl has the potential to become a trainer.

Putting everything else aside, her never-give-up trait alone will allow her to continue on the path of a trainer.

With Shana's encouragement, the timid Eevee finally regained its fighting spirit.

After lifting its head off the ground, the tiny Eevee shakily stood up.

Then it shouted at Slowpoke with all its might.

"Bu-ee!"

"Ya-dong!"

Upon hearing Eevee's call, the Slowpoke in the arena responded blankly.

Faced with Eevee's declaration of war, the slow-witted Slowpoke did not respond at all.

With its hands on its hips, it thought that the Eevee in front of it was kind of cute.

"Ibrahimovic uses Swift Strike!"

Seeing Eevee regain its fighting spirit, Shana waved her hand and gave Eevee a command.

"Bu-ee!"

Eevee yelled, then tossed its head, sending a string of glittering five-pointed stars hurtling toward Slowpoke.

"Slowpoke, as usual, use Psychic to dodge!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan gave a command to the Slowpoke, then waved his hand at it, signaling it to do its own thing.

Seeing this, Slowpoke nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then he and Ibrahimovic started playing a game of chase on the field.

Two minutes later, Slowpoke, having had its fill of playing, looked at Eevee, who was panting heavily in front of it.

With a single telekinetic strike, it sent Eevee away from the painful battlefield.

"Eevee is unable to battle, Slowpoke wins! The winner of this match is Qingyuan from Viridian City!"

The referee on the sidelines made a timely ruling on the outcome of the match.

"Not bad, you're getting better and better, Slowpoke!"

After exchanging a punch with Slowpoke, Qingyuan praised it generously.

"Ya-dong!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Slowpoke proudly put its hands on its hips and barked at him.
