Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 473 The God of Life!

With the combined efforts of many elves, the area that was quickly destroyed by the wildfire was replanted with saplings.

Looking at the place that had been revitalized, Qingyuan put his hands on his hips and felt a surge of pride.

His contribution was also part of this vibrant life, although traces of the wildfires can still be seen in this place.

However, Qingyuan believes that with the joint efforts of the elves, this place will be transformed back into a lush forest within five years.

"Nedo!"

Just as Qingyuan was looking at the saplings in front of him and imagining what this place would look like in the future.

Suddenly, Nidorino's surprised cry came from the side.

"what happened?"

Hearing Nidorino's cry, Qingyuan snapped out of his daze and walked toward the direction from which the sound came, shouting a question.

"Ne-do! (Qingyuan, come and see!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Nidorino hurriedly shouted loudly at Qingyuan.

"what happened?"

Seeing Nidorino's eagerness, Qingyuan couldn't help but become interested and asked Nidorino with great enthusiasm.

"Ne-do! (Look, this tree has sprouted!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Nidorino pointed to a tree in front of him that had been burned to a crisp and said to Qingyuan.

"It's practically charcoal by now, how can it still sprout?"

Hearing this, Qingyuan looked at the tree stump that had almost turned into charcoal and said in surprise.

After arriving at Nidorino's side, Qingyuan patted Nidorino's head and then stared intently at the tree stump.

On the top of that dark tree stump, a tender green bud stood tall.

"It really is true, the withered tree has sprouted!"

Looking at the lush green buds on the tree stump, Qingyuan said with a look of surprise.

"Gore! (I've come to see too!)"

Upon hearing this, Scorpion King, who was still busy nearby, also came over with Zeraora and Charizard to join in the fun.

"Da na!"

Seeing the lively scene, Venusaur, who was using the grassy terrain, also came to Qingyuan's side and looked at the little bud.

However, unlike Qingyuan and the others, Venusaur was stunned when it saw the tender tree bud.

When Venusaur came to its senses, Qingyuan could clearly feel that Venusaur's aura had suddenly increased.

"What is this? Is it the legendary epiphany?"

Looking at the Venusaur in front of him, Qingyuan said with a shocked expression.

"Da na? (What is sudden enlightenment?)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Venusaur looked puzzled.

"Hmm... it's the legendary way to gain new insights due to a certain event, and then suddenly become much stronger!"

Upon hearing Venusaur's words, Qingyuan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then explained to Venusaur.

"Da na! (This isn't an epiphany, it's just that I've gained control over the power of life, and my control over grass-type energy has deepened!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Venusaur shook its head and said to Qingyuan.

As soon as he finished speaking, Venusaur, who was shaking his head, froze, once again lost in a daze.

When it came to its senses again, it saw Qingyuan's troubled expression!

"what happened?"

Looking at the Venusaur with a troubled expression, Qingyuan asked it with some confusion.

"Da na! (I sense the divine calling of life; the Viridian Forest wants me to be the god of life for the Viridian Forest!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Venusaur turned its head and looked at Qingyuan with a troubled expression.

"The Divine Office of Life?"

"Does the Viridian Forest have this divine office? I thought the only divine office in the Viridian Forest was the Viridian Guardian!"

Upon hearing Venusaur's words, Qingyuan looked at Venusaur with a puzzled expression.

He couldn't quite understand what the will of the Evergreen Forest was trying to do.

Celebi told him that there was only the Viridian Guardian in Viridian Forest, so how come Venusaur has created a new "God of Life" here?

"Da na da na! (Because I just sensed the power of life; this is a divine duty specially prepared for me by Viridian Forest!)"

"Da na! (Because Celebi is unreliable, it wants me to become the God of Life and protect Viridian Forest!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the embarrassment on Bulbasaur's face disappeared, and it calmly addressed Qingyuan.

Life is everywhere, but not many elves can perceive it.

This time, Venusaur benefited from Moltres's creation of the wildfire, experiencing life amidst destruction and further enhancing its control over Grass-type energy.

Their strength has also greatly improved.

For this reason, and because Celebi, the guardian of Viridian Forest, often brought disasters to Viridian Forest and was unable to protect it, the Forest wanted to bestow upon Bulbasaur the divine position of the Machine God.

However, Viridian Forest told Venusaur that after it became the life god of Viridian Forest, it would have to stay in Viridian Forest for a long time and would no longer be able to stay by Qingyuan's side.

This put Venusaur in a difficult position. After all, it had been searching for Qingyuan for more than ten years, and it had finally found him. How could it just leave like this?

So it quickly made a decision: it was prepared to reject the Evergreen Forest.

"That's wonderful, you're the god of life!"

"To become a god with the body of an ordinary elf, even Moltres would feel ashamed standing in front of you!"

Upon hearing Venusaur's words, Qingyuan immediately patted Venusaur's head with a joyful expression.

"Da na! (I don't want to!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Venusaur shook its head at him.

"why?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan asked with a puzzled expression.

The path to godhood was right before Qingyuan's eyes, but he didn't understand why Venusaur was refusing.

If he had a path to godhood in his previous life, laid out before the world, Qingyuan was certain.

Those people from my past life would definitely beat the dog's brains out.

Who doesn't want to become a god? Who doesn't want to live forever?

"Da na da na! (Once I become a god, I can no longer stay by Qingyuan's side; I'll have to stay in the Viridian Forest!)"

"Da na! (I've been looking for you for over ten years, I don't want to leave like this!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Venusaur looked at Qingyuan and said.

"Are you stupid?!"

"Once you become a god, you can use Celebi's power to travel through time and space to find Achen!"

"And once you become a god, this Viridian Forest will become your territory. If I get into trouble, I can run here to you!"

"Then you can protect me in Viridian Forest!"

"And Ah Chen also hopes that you and King Nido can have a peaceful end!"

"The path to godhood is right before your eyes, how can you refuse it!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately spoke with great distress.

Judging from Qingyuan's appearance, it seems like the one who can't become a god isn't Bulbasaur, but Qingyuan himself!
