Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 323 The King of Pretenders, Qingyuan!

"By the way, Sabrina should have already undergone the changes made by Gastly by now!"

"If I lose to her again, she probably won't just turn me into a doll, will she?"

As he walked toward the Goldenrod Gym, Qingyuan pondered to himself.

The reason I was afraid was that I couldn't beat Naza and would be turned into a doll by her.

That's why he went to Fuchsia City first, wanting Ash to catch Gastly and change Sabrina's clothes before coming to Saffron City to challenge the Saffron Gym.

However, the anime never showed what Sabrina looked like after being altered by Gastly.

So Qingyuan was feeling a little uneasy. What if Sabrina, even after being transformed by Gastly, still liked turning people into dolls?

His Psychic power was only equivalent to a level 20 or 30 Psychic-type Pokémon, which was far from enough for Sabrina to toy with!

Hopefully, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) will be reliable enough to carry me away when Sabrina goes berserk.

Silently praying, Qingyuan led Slowking quickly toward the Goldenrod Gym.

"Ya-dong!"

Feeling the unusual heartbeat coming from Qingyuan beside him, Dazed King called out in confusion.

They continued to follow Qingyuan forward.

Although it didn't know what Qingyuan was so nervous about, it only needed to stay by Qingyuan's side.

After walking along the road for more than ten minutes.

Feeling dizzy, Qingyuan successfully got lost and ended up in front of a fighting dojo.

"here it is?"

Looking at the dojo in front of him, Qingyuan looked down at the location on the map and asked with a puzzled expression.

"This is the Goldenrod Fighting Gym. Our gym's badge can also be used to participate in the Indigo League!"

"Young man, how about you give it a try?"

Looking at Qingyuan standing at the door, the Golden Martial Arts Dojo apprentice extended a warm invitation to him.

"Golden Golden Fighting Dojo!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan murmured twice.

He then remembered which dojo this was.

Isn't this the dojo that used Shimoda Taketo as a punching bag for training?

It seems that the dojo was short of funds, so they sent all the apprentices out to travel and promote the dojo's reputation.

The location of the Goldenrod Dojo seems to be right across from the Goldenrod Fighting Dojo.

Thinking of this, Qingyuan couldn't help but look across the Golden Fighting Dojo.

Sure enough, he spotted the sign for the Golden Dojo at a glance.

"So it wasn't that I went to the wrong place, I just didn't see it!"

Upon seeing the location of the Saffron Gym, Qingyuan murmured twice and prepared to lead Slowking towards it.

"How about it, buddy? Want to challenge us at the Golden Golden Fighting Dojo?"

Seeing Qingyuan standing there deep in thought, the staff member from the pipeline, who was fighting with golden eyes, spoke to Qingyuan with great enthusiasm.

"No need, I want to challenge the Saffron Gym!"

After politely declining the staff's invitation, Qingyuan turned and led Slowking towards the Saffron Gym.

"Hey, buddy!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the people from the Golden Martial Arts Dojo were about to loudly persuade him to stay.

But seeing Qingyuan's resolute back, he couldn't help but lower his hand.

"Sigh, we're short of our quota again this month. I wonder how many more days the dojo can stay afloat!"

After shaking his head, the staff member sighed and turned to walk into the dojo.

After leaving the Goldenrod Fighting Gym, Qingyuan arrived at the Goldenrod Gym in just two or three minutes.

"Hello, I'm here to challenge the Saffron Gym."

After striding through the gates of the Goldenrod Gym, Qingyuan went to the front desk and handed his Pokédex to the receptionist.

"Okay, I'll register you right away!"

Upon hearing this, the receptionist at the Goldenrod Gym nodded and took Qingyuan's Pokédex to register him.

"The battle arena is deep inside the dojo; just follow this path straight and you'll get there!"

After registering Qingyuan, the receptionist handed the Pokédex back to Qingyuan and pointed to the road leading inside.

"Okay, thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan thanked the receptionist and then followed the directions given to him into the dojo.

There are still many people with superpowers training inside the dojo.

However, the strength of those superpowered individuals' superpowers is simply indescribable.

Qingyuan personally witnessed a superhuman whose face was constricted as if he were constipated, yet he could only bend a spoon.

Based on this level of strength, Qingyuan estimates that it is probably still equivalent to the superpower of a level 0.5 psychic spirit.

It's even possible that Qingyuan overestimated these guys' abilities, even to the point of being at level 0.5.

After passing a large group of superpowered individuals who were cultivating, Qingyuan soon saw a large gate.

"This should be it, but Sabrina's gym is eerily quiet!"

Looking at the door in front of him, Qingyuan muttered a couple of things before preparing to push it open.

"Are you here to challenge Miss Naz?"

Just as Qingyuan was about to push open the door, a man wearing a mask and with a spiky hairstyle that was a little longer than Xiaomao's came up to Qingyuan.

"Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan replied with a completely bewildered expression.

What is this guy trying to do? Is he not allowed to challenge Natsume?

If that's the case, then he's in for a job!

Thinking of this, Qingyuan immediately became eager to try.

"Judging from the Pokémon next to you, it should be a Psychic-type Pokémon!"

Do you have this?

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the masked man glanced at Daidaiwang, who was standing next to Qingyuan.

He then took out a spoon and demonstrated it to Qingyuan.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan stared blankly at the somewhat eccentric masked man demonstrating to him.

Although he felt the plot was somewhat familiar, he still couldn't remember who this guy was.

"Um……"

After the masked man's face turned liver-colored, the spoon in his hand finally bent slightly.

"This is a superpower. Without superpowers, it's impossible to fully unleash the power of a super-powered spirit!"

"She is even less capable of challenging Miss Sabrina!"

The masked man held up the spoon in his hand and said to Qingyuan with a smug look on his face.

"Is this thing really that hard to bend?"

Upon hearing the masked man's pretentious words, Qingyuan used his telekinesis to take the spoon from his hand.

After kneading it into a ball, she looked at the man with a Versailles-like expression and said...

Just kidding, I was trying to show off in front of him.

Can you really believe that Qingyuan, the king of pretentiousness, can put on a show like that?

Moreover, with such a small amount of superpower, it's probably not even enough for a level 0 Psychic-type Pokémon. What gives you the audacity to act tough in front of him?

This is like trying to show off your skills in front of Guan Yu – completely overestimating yourself!
