Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 81 Preparing to leave Kuroba City!

"Boom boom boom!"

The next morning, before Qingyuan even got out of bed...

Qiao Yiran was already knocking on Qingyuan's door!

Seeing this, Qingyuan could only struggle to get out of his bed and open the door for Qiao Yiran.

Good morning, Qingyuan!

Looking at Qingyuan, who was wearing pajamas and looked sleepy, Qiao Yiran spoke with great energy.

Looking at Qiao Yiran in front of him, Qingyuan's eyes flashed with helplessness.

Finally, looking exhausted, he leaned against the door and replied.

Good morning!

Looking at the listless Qingyuan in front of her, Qiao Yiran reached out and rubbed Qingyuan's face with both hands.

"It's already 7:30, why are you still sleeping!"

Qingyuan was sleepy and let Qiao Yiran's hands play with his face.

"No, I'm not a university student, why would I get up so early!"

"What are you not?"

Qiao Yiran grabbed Qingyuan's face and pulled it to both sides, asking a question.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

Qingyuan reached out and slapped Qiao Yiran's hand away, rubbing his cheek and saying angrily.

"It's good that it hurts; it'll wake you up!"

Qiao Yiran rolled her eyes at Qingyuan, then took a boat ticket out of her pocket for Qingyuan.

"Look! Time is too tight, most of the large ferries departing this afternoon are already full!"

"I only managed to get a ticket for a medium-sized ferry, so you'll have to make do with this one!"

As she spoke, Qiao Yiran shoved the boat ticket into Qingyuan's hand.

"The ship departs at 3 PM, remember not to be late!"

"I have to go back to the counter. You'd better get up and get ready!"

After saying that, Qiao Yiran walked to the side.

Qingyuan looked at the boat ticket in his hand and felt a little dizzy.

No, didn't he just ask Qiao Yiran for help last night? How did he get the boat tickets so quickly?

Qiao Yiran's initiative is amazing!

"Oh right, I still have 3,000 of the 10,000 Alliance Coins you gave me. I won't return them to you; consider it my errand fee!"

Just then, Qiao Yiran's voice suddenly rang out again.

Qingyuan glanced over and saw Qiao Yiran shaking the Alliance Coins in her hand, her delicate face full of pride.

Seeing this, Qingyuan couldn't help but smile and say something.

"Thank you, Sister Ran!"

After saying that, Qingyuan waved the boat ticket in his hand at Qiao Yiran.

Back in his room, Qingyuan was wide awake after Qiao Yiran's antics.

Looking at the Scorpions who were still asleep, Qingyuan sighed and began to prepare breakfast for them.

Although the Pokémon Center offers free breakfast, the Pokémon food at Qingyuan is all specially made.

Compared to the generic Pokémon food at the Pokémon Center, Qingyuan's food is more nutritious.

After Scorpion and the others finished their breakfast, Qingyuan put them away, took the trash he had cleaned up, and left the room.

After throwing away the trash, Qingyuan grabbed two sandwiches for breakfast at the restaurant, then went to the counter and handed the room key to Qiao Yiran.

"Have a safe journey, Qingyuan. Remember to contact us if you encounter any trouble!"

Seeing Qingyuan with a sandwich in his mouth, Qiao Yiran took the keys and gave him some instructions with some concern.

"Oh, don't worry, Sister Ran, I'll definitely call you if I get any trouble!"

"Besides, I've been traveling for quite a while now, so don't treat me like a clueless newbie who's never traveled before!"

Hearing Qiao Yiran's words, Qingyuan took a bite of his sandwich and said to Qiao Yiran while chewing.

"Heh, with your unreliable attitude, how are you any different from those rookie trainers who have just set off on their journeys!"

As Qiao Yiran handed Qingyuan a glass of water, she said with a hint of disdain.

Qingyuan took the water glass and took two big gulps.

He then stuffed the rest of the sandwich into his mouth, drank a few sips of water to wash it down.

He then spoke.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it'll be fine!"

"Sister Ran, your cooking is great! The sandwiches are delicious!"

Qingyuan gave Qiao Yiran a thumbs-up and handed her the water glass.

With his backpack slung over his shoulder, Qingyuan waved to Qiao Yiran and walked out of the Pokémon Center.

"Let's go, Ran-jie! Watch my performance at the Quartz Convention!"

Goodbye, and best of luck at the Quartz Conference!

Watching Qingyuan's departing figure, Qiao Yiran waved to him and said loudly.

……

After leaving the Pokémon Center, Qingyuan headed straight for the Silver Company's shopping mall.

It's time to replace the Poké Balls of Gliscor and the others. The conditions in Qingyuan were poor before, so they had to live in red and white Poké Balls.

Now that Qingyuan is a millionaire, it's time to give Scorpion and the others a more comfortable place to live.

In addition to Poké Balls, Qingyuan also plans to buy a Thunderbolt move disc for Persian to broaden its attack range.

Oh, and we also need to replenish the Scorpion's food supply.

You should buy at least a month's worth; last time, if we hadn't stocked up on enough elf food...

I'm afraid he and Scorpio will never be able to leave that forest.

There are also medicinal herbs for making potions. Scorpion and Scyther have reached level 30, and it's time to use potions to cultivate them.

The medicinal materials needed to make the potion for Scorpion and Scyther also need to be prepared.

Qingyuan walked along, lost in thought.

The thought of the money he would have to spend later gave Qingyuan a headache.

Since becoming a trainer, Qingyuan has gained a deeper understanding of the phrase "spending money like water".

Every time I get money, before I can even enjoy it, I have to convert it all into resources.

"Money, money, money! You really can't do without money!"

As Qingyuan walked, he let out a heavy sigh.

As he walked, Qingyuan suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He hadn't received any points from Jun Shaqi for the route he reported to her last time.

Jun Shaqi told him to wait three days, but it's been seven days and she still hasn't given it to him.

What exactly happened?

After thinking it over, Qingyuan took out the communication device that Qiao Yiran had given him and made a call to Jun Shaqi.

"Moshi Moshi! This is the Kureha City Police Department!"

The moment Qingyuan made the call, almost immediately Jun Shaqi's voice came through the communication device.

"Hello, Sister Qi, this is Qingyuan!"

"Oh! Xiao Qingyuan! Is there something you need to talk to me about?"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Jun Shaqi's tone visibly relaxed.

Upon hearing Jun Shaqi's words, Qingyuan went straight to the point.

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask about the thing about me finding the mole tunnel!"

"Does the alliance have..."

Before Qingyuan could finish speaking, Jun Shaqi spoke up.

"Wait a minute, let me check the files first. I've been too busy lately and I forgot about it!"

Immediately afterwards, Qingyuan could hear a rustling sound coming from the other side.

She looked like she was rummaging through something, and Qingyuan obediently didn't disturb her.

"Found it! Qingyuan of Viridian City has discovered an underground passage connecting Pewter City to Konoha City! It's been confirmed!"

"I'm sorry, Xiao Qingyuan!"

"My sister has been too busy lately and forgot to hand in the files to the Alliance!"

"Don't worry, I'll hand it in right now, and the alliance's reward will be in your hands the day after tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't embezzle your reward!"

Hearing Jun Shaqi's words, Qingyuan breathed a huge sigh of relief. He had thought that the alliance didn't think he was worth it and wouldn't give him a reward.

It turns out that Officer Jenny forgot to submit the alliance.

The current situation is not bad; a few days later is better than nothing.
