Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 141 The Powerful Nine-Tails!

After accepting the two hundred Alliance Coins from Xiao Xiu, who was kneeling in front of Rada, crying and wiping away tears.

Qingyuan, aiming to become a Pokémon Master, continues his journey...

Wasn't it said that the area from Rainbow City to Fuchsia City is an endless grassland?

What's the deal with this mountain in front of us?

Having left the main road and run into the forest, Qingyuan was on the verge of collapse.

The mountain hidden in the forest stood firmly in his way.

But according to the map, he should have already left the forest and entered the grassland.

Am I lost?

But how could I get lost if I followed this map?

Qingyuan looked down at the map in his hand, then looked up at the mountain in front of him.

I felt a bit lost; so this is what it feels like to be lost.

"Forget it, let's just climb the mountain and check the direction. Anyway, this mountain isn't that high!"

He lowered his head again, realizing that he really couldn't find a way out.

Qingyuan simply put the map away and said to Scorpio.

"Hehe! (I think this is a great idea!)"

Scorpio, perched on Qingyuan's shoulder, immediately chirped in agreement upon hearing Qingyuan's words.

In fact, Scorpio couldn't understand anything Qingyuan was saying.

But he knew that as long as Qingyuan asked him, he would support his idea.

After all, it is Qingyuan's little brother, and it has to go wherever Qingyuan goes.

"Alright then, the future Pokémon Master, Mr. Qingyuan, shall now officially set off towards the barren mountain before us!"

Qingyuan pulled out a small red flag from somewhere, waved it at the barren mountain in front of him, and then led Tianxie up the mountain.

"Glimmer, cluck! (Heading towards the barren mountains!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpio played along, providing Qingyuan with plenty of emotional support.

Although it felt that shouting like that was a bit childish, it still shouted it.

Qingyuan tightened his spatial backpack and carried the Scorpion towards the mountaintop.

Because Qingyuan's physical abilities were already quite good, and after awakening his superpowers...

As a result, Qingyuan's physical fitness improved significantly, so even when walking on rugged mountain roads...

Qingyuan moved as quickly as if he were walking on flat ground.

In less than half an hour, Qingyuan successfully traveled from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.

"Huh? People actually live in a place like this?"

Looking at the ancient castle built on the mountainside, Qingyuan said with some doubt.

"Of course, young man, I've lived here since I was a child!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old woman sitting on the recliner basking in the sun suddenly smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan was startled.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they found that it was indeed just a harmless old woman.

Qingyuan then spoke with a hint of wariness.

"I'm so sorry, Grandma, I didn't notice you just now!"

"Sorry to bother you, I'll have to get going now, goodbye!"

After saying that, Qingyuan turned around and prepared to leave.

In the middle of nowhere, a very old castle appeared, and in front of the castle was an old lady.

This is just so weird, no matter how you look at it.

"Hey, don't rush off! Nobody's been here for ages!"

"Ouch!"

Seeing this, the old lady lying on the recliner was about to get up and try to persuade her to stay.

Unexpectedly, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Hearing the "ouch" sound behind him, Qingyuan secretly turned around and glanced back.

After discovering that it was an old lady who had fallen, Qingyuan became very conflicted.

He wanted to go back and help, but he was worried that it might be a trap set by a Ghost-type Pokémon.

But if this wasn't a Ghost-type Pokémon's trap, then the old lady in this desolate wilderness has fallen.

They might not know how to get back up, and it's even possible they could lose their lives as a result.

Moreover, the old lady fell down because she was trying to persuade Qingyuan to stay.

Qingyuan is a kind-hearted person; otherwise, he wouldn't have lost his life saving someone.

However, he is also a very conflicted person.

He wanted to save them, but he was afraid it was a trap.

"Scorpio, protect me!"

Finally, after touching Scorpio's head on his shoulder, Qingyuan resolutely turned around.

Good news, the old lady is a real person, not some deadly ghost-type Pokémon.

Bad news: the old lady has broken a bone and needs someone to take care of her.

"Young man, thank you so much! Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do today!"

The old lady lay on the bed and patted Qingyuan's hand as she spoke.

"It's nothing, it's what I should do!"

"Besides, if you hadn't gotten up and called me, I probably wouldn't have gotten hurt!"

"But Grandma, your injury is quite serious this time. I'm afraid you'll need to go down the mountain for treatment!"

"Moreover, given your current condition, it's very difficult for you to take care of yourself; you'll need someone to look after you!"

Qingyuan looked at the old lady lying on the bed and tried to comfort her.

Through their conversation, Qingyuan learned that the old lady in front of him was the owner of the castle.

Her husband has passed away, and she has two daughters who work in Rainbow City and have bought houses there.

Although I don't know why the old lady doesn't go to her daughter's home in Rainbow City to enjoy her retirement.

However, for the old lady's safety, Qingyuan still tried to persuade her.

"That kid is right, Sakura, you really should leave here!"

Just then, a voice came, startling Qingyuan once again.

"Wait, do all the guys here like to suddenly start talking?"

While mentally complaining, Qingyuan looked in the direction from which the sound came.

But this one glance almost made Qingyuan's jaw drop.

A nine-tailed creature with beige fur was walking into the house.

"Nine-Tails, you've arrived!"

Seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox gracefully approaching, the old lady lying on the bed immediately smiled and said.

"Sakura, you're getting old, it's really inconvenient for you to live here alone!"

"You should move to the city; I don't know what you're insisting on!"

Nine-Tails sat down directly in front of the old lady's bed and said in a somewhat helpless tone.

"I just wanted to stay by your side!"

The old lady raised her hand, stroked the fur on the nine-tailed fox's back, and said with a reluctant expression.

Qingyuan, meanwhile, stared in astonishment at the nine-tailed fox before him.

Goodness, this Nine-Tails is quite powerful; it even has telepathy.

At first, when he heard Nine-Tails' words, Qingyuan thought it was his own ability that had been activated.

That's why he was able to understand what Kurama was saying.

However, after seeing the old lady communicate with the Nine-Tails without any difficulty, Qingyuan realized that...

It turns out it wasn't my own ability that was amazing, but rather the nine-tailed fox in front of me that was amazing.

It's so powerful that it can ignore attributes and use telepathy with its fire-attribute body.
