Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 120 Afternoon Nap!

Thanks to the efforts of Qingyuan and Tianxie.

Finally, the armored rhinoceros was pulled out of the tree.

"How are you feeling? Does it hurt?"

Qingyuan asked while wiping the armored rhinoceros's horns.

"Hoo-ha! (It doesn't hurt, hehe, this is so much fun!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the armored rhinoceros shook its head and chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan, who had been somewhat worried, instantly turned cold.

"It's fun, isn't it!"

Qingyuan said in an icy voice.

"Hoo-ha! (Yeah...)"

The armored rhinoceros nodded and said, but halfway through its sentence, it clearly noticed that Qingyuan's tone was off.

"I see. Then when you're traveling this afternoon, adjust your pace to one meter per step!"

"Walk a little more, or walk a little less!"

"I'll have the cat boss whip you with his iron tail!"

Qingyuan pointed at the armored rhinoceros and said sternly.

"Hoo-ha! (No!)"

Upon hearing this, the armored rhinoceros immediately wanted to beg for mercy.

"Shut up, or you won't get lunch!"

Before the armored rhinoceros could continue begging for mercy, Qingyuan shouted loudly at it.

He finally understood that this Ironclad Rhino was not only single-minded.

This guy is incredibly wild; he told him last time that he needed to control himself.

But it agreed readily, and it behaved very well at the Pokémon Center.

Unexpectedly, once this guy left the Pokémon Center and came to the wild, his true nature was exposed again.

He absolutely had to change the unsteady attitude of the armored rhinoceros this time.

It's clearly a cow, but its temperament is like a cat's; it can't be steady at all.

He'd already hit his head in a tree, and this guy was still thinking it was fun.

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion burst into laughter at the Armored Rhinoceros.

"Giggle! (Qingyuan told you to be more composed, didn't you hear me? Learn from your older brother!)"

"Bang bang bang!"

Scorpion rests one pincer on the armored rhinoceros's back, while patting its own chest with the other, looking quite proud.

The armored rhinoceros was indignant when it heard this, thinking, "You're not much more composed than me."

Now they're lecturing me.

"Scorpio, stop pretending! Have you forgotten when you were punished?"

As Scorpion showed off to the armored rhinoceros, Qingyuan's voice came from the shade.

Upon hearing this, Scorpio awkwardly wiped his nose.

It was indeed a mischievous thing; Qingyuan had dealt with it quite a bit because of it back then.

In other words, it hasn't been stable for more than a few days.

"Haha! (Haha, you're talking about me!)"

The armored rhinoceros standing nearby also mocked them mercilessly.

"Clatter!"

Seeing this, Scorpio let out a somewhat angry cry.

Then it flew towards Qingyuan.

"Hey boss, at least give me some face, or how can I be the big brother?!"

Scorpio tugged at Qingyuan's sleeve and whispered.

"Alright, we've all gotten to know you so well, and we still don't know who you are!"

"I'm afraid you'll corrupt that stubborn Iron Rhino!"

Qingyuan poured out the elf food while smiling and speaking to Scorpion.

Upon hearing this, Scorpio scratched his head.

Looking back, it seems I really am quite unreliable.

Then he laughed sheepishly.

Seeing this, the surrounding flying mantises couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After this little incident, Qingyuan and his friends quickly and happily ate lunch under the shade of the tree.

"On a hot summer day, it's so nice to be able to take a nap in the shade!"

Qingyuan lowered his head, resting his head on the cat boss, holding the Slowpoke in his arms, with Scorpion and Scyther leaning against him on his left and right respectively, and sighed with a comfortable expression.

The three sources of coolness—Scorpion, Scyther, and Slowpoke—made Qingyuan incredibly cool.

The soft fur of the cat beneath him gave Qingyuan the comfortable experience of a soft bed.

"Roar~ (Qingyuan, you're biased! You're discriminating against people based on their attributes!)"

Seeing this, the Charmeleon, who was hiding alone under a tree, kept complaining to Qingyuan.

"Charmeleon, this isn't my fault! You're a Fire-type Pokémon!"

"Holding you won't make me cooler; in fact, it'll make me even hotter!"

"But don't worry, when we get to the snow mountain area, I'll hold you in my arms!"

Upon hearing Charizard's words, Qingyuan didn't even open his eyes, and spoke to Charizard in a serious tone.

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Charmander felt a little better.

But the hurt on his face didn't diminish at all.

"Clatter clatter clatter!"

One by one, the frustrated Charmander threw pebbles at the bushes in the distance.

It was originally intended to emit sparks.

However, after being told by the scorpions that it was too hot, it switched to throwing pebbles.

Upon seeing this, the armored rhinoceros opened its eyes and glanced at the fire dinosaur.

Upon discovering that Charmeleon still looked unhappy, I promptly closed my eyes and covered my ears.

Hmm, this one's not to be trifled with. It's best not to go looking for trouble with Charizard.

Anyway, it's all the same whether you sleep or not.

With this thought in mind, the armored rhinoceros quickly fell asleep.

Qingyuan and the others quickly fell asleep in the quiet atmosphere around them.

Charmeleon and Scyther were the only two that didn't take a nap.

The fire dragon was sulking alone because Qingyuan disliked it and wouldn't let it near.

Meanwhile, the Scyther remained on guard.

Whenever Qingyuan doesn't have any staff on duty, it takes on the responsibility of guarding the area all by itself.

After throwing away the last handful of pebbles, Charmeleon stood up from the ground.

"Sha! (Where are you going!)"

Upon hearing Charizard get up, Scyther immediately opened its eyes from its slumber.

"Hoo~ (I'm going out for a stroll, I'll be right back!)"

Having said that, the Charmander left the shady spot.

The flying mantis did not stop them upon hearing this.

Charmeleon is someone it watched grow up; the child is very punctual, so it won't run away.

Besides, there's no danger around the main road. If Charmeleon wants to go out and play, let it go out and play.

On the other side, the Charmander left the shade and continued walking forward.

After crossing two thickets, Charmeleon came to a small pond.

The pool wasn't big; it felt like it couldn't even hold two armored rhinoceroses.

However, there were several water-type spirits playing inside.

Charmander sat down by the pool, picked up a handful of pebbles, and threw them into the pool.

It had no intention of playing with those Pokémon; they were too weak, and besides, they were water-type Pokémon.

Although it can get along well with Slowpoke, it doesn't mean it can get along well with these other creatures.

The water-type Pokémon were initially very angry when Charmeleon threw stones into the pond.

However, after sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the Charmeleon, they wisely chose to remain silent.

Just don't throw it at them. Of course, even if you do, they won't dare say anything in the face of the terrifying Charizard.

"Hoga! Hoga!"

Just as Charmeleon was feeling bored, a voice suddenly entered its ears.

Intrigued by the sound, the Charmander slowly turned its gaze toward the direction from which it came.

Pushing aside the bushes obstructing its view, the source of the voice came into the Charmeleon's sight.

A monkey monster with a broken tail was seen repeatedly punching a large tree.

The third watch! The third watch!
