Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 12 Beating Up the Samurai Boy!

With Qiao Yiying's help, Qingyuan completed his registration for the Quartz Conference and then waved goodbye to Evergreen City.

Walking along the main road from Viridian City to Pewter City, Qingyuan carried Gliscor on his shoulder and flipped through the Pokédex for quests as he walked.

Although he made a small fortune while in Viridian City thanks to Ash and Pikachu.

Before leaving Viridian City, Qingyuan went to Silver Company and spent 300,000 to buy Scorpion a Mud Shot skill disc to use as Scorpion's ranged attack method.

Moreover, during the purchase process, Qingyuan deeply realized his poverty.

Actually, Qingyuan was originally planning to buy Scorpio a Guardian skill disc.

However, upon seeing the skill disc that cost a whopping three million Alliance Coins, Qingyuan patted his empty purse and wisely gave up.

During this purchase, Qingyuan's eyes were opened.

Holding onto a skill disc that costs three million Alliance Coins is only considered a mid-range price among the many skill discs available.

Skill discs for powerful moves like Hyper Beam, Flame Burst, and Ultimate Impact are priced at over seven or eight million.

At this point, Qingyuan's entire fortune couldn't even cover a fraction of the cost of these skill discs.

After this experience, Qingyuan became even more determined to make money.

In order to earn money, Qingyuan accepted quests from the Pokémon Encyclopedia while traveling.

"Clatter!"

"Clang!"

Just as Qingyuan was completely engrossed in finding money-making quests in the Pokémon Encyclopedia...

The Scorpio perched on his shoulder suddenly let out a loud cry, followed by the sound of metal clashing.

Qingyuan turned his head and saw Scorpion's face contorted in a ferocious expression as it gripped a samurai sword with its pincers.

Looking along the blade of the katana, one can clearly see a young man holding the hilt of the katana and wearing samurai armor.

"Give me back my knife! Ah!!!"

The samurai boy, his face contorted with rage, strained with both hands, trying to pull the katana from Scorpion's hand.

However, Scorpion's pincers were not to be underestimated. Its right pincers gripped the blade tightly, its left pincers clawed at Qingyuan's neck, and its tail wrapped around Qingyuan's arm for leverage.

Soon, Qingyuan felt the pulling force coming from Scorpio.

After figuring out the situation, Qingyuan quickly regained his senses, gathered his strength in his right foot, and then delivered a powerful kick to the stomach of the young samurai in front of him.

"Go to hell!"

"vomit!"

The samurai boy was kicked away by a tremendous force to the abdomen and continued to retch after getting up.

Seeing this, Qingyuan had no intention of letting the other party go. He took the samurai sword from Scorpion's hand, took a few steps forward, kicked off the samurai boy's samurai hat, and swung the sword down at the samurai boy's head.

"Damn it, you want to kill me? Then I'll kill you first!"

With red eyes, Qingyuan slammed his katana down hard on the boy's head.

"boom!"

"Ugh!!!"

A muffled thud rang out, but the blood-soaked scene Qingyuan had imagined did not materialize.

The long sword struck the opponent's head, but only added a large bump to his head.

Qingyuan then realized that although the samurai sword was forged from fine steel, it was not sharpened, which was why the bloody scene he had imagined did not occur.

Even so, Qingyuan's strike was enough to overwhelm the opponent, if not for the fact that the physical constitution of humans in this world had been enhanced.

Qingyuan's attack just now could have easily blown a hole in the samurai boy's head.

This also explains why, if Scorpio hadn't blocked that attack for him, he would be the one rolling on the ground right now.

Once he realized that the other party had no intention of killing him, Qingyuan's killing intent lessened.

But his anger did not subside in the slightest. Damn it, he was walking along peacefully when this little Bitden suddenly pulled out a knife and started slashing at him.

This matter absolutely cannot be left like this. Qingyuan then transformed his sword into a whip and began to lash out at the young warrior rolling on the ground.

He whipped the other person so hard they were spinning around like a top.

……

"Phew! I'm exhausted!"

After smoking for a while, Qingyuan casually tossed aside the katana that had begun to bend, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and complained.

"Waaah! I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please forgive me!"

Upon seeing Qingyuan stop, the young warrior immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

Qingyuan had just been beating him like a madman, nearly killing him.

Seeing that Qingyuan had stopped, and fearing that Qingyuan would hit him again, the guy quickly knelt down and begged Qingyuan for mercy.

"Just as I thought! Kids only behave after a good beating!"

Looking at the young warrior in front of him, tears streaming down his face, Qingyuan said with some emotion.

You should know that in the previous anime, this guy ambushed Ash when he was trying to catch a Weedle, causing Ash to fail.

Afterwards, he even righteously declared that he had done nothing wrong, and even looked down on Xiaozhi for not knowing how to try.

Later, when Ash's Metapod was captured by Beedrill, it stood on the moral high ground and condemned Ash.

He didn't even consider that if Ash hadn't insisted on having a Metapod Hardening contest with him, Ash's Metapod would never have been captured by Beedrill.

In his previous life, when Qingyuan watched anime, he felt extremely disgusted with this bratty samurai boy and wished he could enter the anime and beat him up.

It would be so satisfying to give that young samurai offender a good beating right now!

"Hmph! I'll let you off this time, but if you ever fall into my hands again, it won't be as simple as just getting a beating!"

"Scorpion, use your combo attack! Smash that broken sword of his!"

Upon hearing the command, Scorpio immediately attacked, its pincers flashing with a milky white light as it slammed down on the samurai sword on the ground.

The young samurai could only watch from the sidelines, tears streaming down his face. The brutal beating Qingyuan had just given him had left a deep scar on his heart.

He didn't even dare to release the elves to fight back.

This left Qingyuan, who wanted to use the elf battle as an excuse to beat up the samurai boy again, feeling somewhat helpless. This guy was too cowardly.

Due to their limited strength, no matter how hard Scorpio tried, he was unable to break the katana.

However, thanks to Scorpio's incredible strength, the katana had completely transformed into a Malay sword, making it practically indistinguishable from a broken katana.

However, Qingyuan was still somewhat angry when he saw this scene.

Before leaving, Qingyuan snatched the sword sheath from the other party and had Scorpion cut him into five pieces with a series of slashes.

The young samurai was only crying and had no intention of resisting.

Qingyuan then hummed a little tune and left with a relaxed expression.

Although he didn't get another beating under the pretext of the samurai boy's rebellion, the previous beating successfully dispelled his depression after realizing he was a poor bastard.

Therefore, Qingyuan was in an exceptionally good mood at this moment.
