Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 475 Information about the Moltres!

"Give me a ride on the Moltres, quick!"

"Or I'll have the Scorpion King beat you up!"

Looking at the firebird in front of him, Qingyuan glared angrily and shouted loudly at it.

"Screech! (Even if you kill me, I will never let you ride me!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Flame Bird immediately shouted at Qingyuan with a humiliated expression.

It was already quite disappointed when it learned that Venusaur, an ordinary Pokémon, had attained godhood and become a god, while it, a legendary Pokémon, had been captured and become a human's Pokémon.

As it turns out, Qingyuan actually wanted to use it as a mount.

How could this be? The divine bird will never be enslaved!

Even if it were killed by the Scorpion King, it would never let Qingyuan ride it!

"Fine, I won't ride you then. Do you really think I really want to ride you?"

Looking at the resistant-looking firebird in front of him, Qingyuan curled his lip and put the firebird away with a disdainful expression.

Although Qingyuan appeared disdainful, he was actually quite disappointed inside.

Although he also has a Charizard to ride.

Moreover, the Charizard is also very imposing.

But Moltres is a legendary bird! Riding a legendary bird to Vermilion City would be so eye-catching and impressive!

Unfortunately, the Moltres won't let him ride it.

He decided that once they arrived in Kuroba City, he would have the Scorpion King give it another good beating.

"Perfect, let me see your information. Just how awesome are you, and yet you're so arrogant!"

Looking at the Poké Ball of Moltres in his hand, Qingyuan took out his Pokédex as he spoke.

Scan the Pokédex at the Poké Ball in your hand, and you'll see Moltres.

Soon, a burst of electronic music came from the Pokémon encyclopedia.

Moltres is a legendary bird Pokémon that controls fire, renowned since ancient times for the legend of the phoenix. It is said that when injured, it enters the lava of a volcano, burning its entire body to heal its wounds. With its orange, burning wings, it commands attention, and sparks fly with every flap of its wings…

...With just a flap of its wings, the flamingo's feathers burst into brilliant flames, the red fire possessing a breathtaking beauty that stirs the soul in all who behold it. When it raises its fiercely burning wings, even the night sky is illuminated...

...Legend has it that it illuminates mountain paths with its beautiful, burning wings and rescues those in danger. It is said that snow-covered countries where Moltres has appeared will experience spring earlier than others, and it is considered a legendary bird Pokémon that flew from the south with spring.

Skipping the tedious Pokémon introductions, Qingyuan went straight to Moltres's detailed information.

"Flame Body ability, a great ability for hatching eggs!"

"By the way, did Scorpion King get burned when it fought Moltres?"

Looking at Moltres's abilities, Qingyuan muttered to himself.

Actually, Qingyuan prefers Moltres to have the Intimidate ability rather than the Flame Body ability.

After all, this guy is going to be the God of Fire, and he exudes a strong sense of pressure as soon as he appears.

This is something much more sophisticated than just having an egg-hatching feature.

"Oh well, it's fine as it is. To be honest, Moltres' moveset isn't as impressive as Gliscor's!"

After glancing at the information about Moltres in the Pokédex, Qingyuan curled his lip in disdain and put away Moltres's Poké Ball.

Just wait, he'll eventually make a firebird his mount.

"After we've taken Scorpion King, let's continue into the deep mountains and sweep through Viridian Forest, then cross over to Vermilion City!"

After putting away Moltres's Poké Ball, Qingyuan took out a map to confirm the direction of Vermilion City and shouted loudly to Gliscor.

Now Venusaur has become the life force of Viridian Forest, so he must have powerful backers there.

If he encounters an enemy he can't defeat deep in Viridian Forest, he'll simply call for Venusaur.

With Venusaur protecting him, he can cross Viridian Forest very easily.

……

A month later, Qingyuan, who had become like a wild man, looked at the city ahead with tears in his eyes.

It's been a month, a whole month, and he's finally emerged from Viridian Forest.

Venusaur is also unreliable. In the past month, Qingyuan has been directed by it several times, but each time it has managed to guide Qingyuan towards Viridian City.

This sometimes resulted in Qingyuan traveling for nearly three days only to find that he had returned to where he started.

"This Venusaur is unreliable. I absolutely cannot let Venusaur guide my way in the future!"

At the edge of Viridian Forest, Qingyuan leaned against Scorpion King and spoke to him with a serious expression.

"Got it! (I understand!)"

Upon hearing this, Scorpion King nodded with a serious expression, if only Venusaur hadn't given them the wrong directions.

They probably arrived in Kuroba City more than half a month ago.

At this point, Qingyuan might already have arrived at the Seven Islands and begun his pilgrimage.

"Scorpion King, help me to the city ahead!"

"I need to get to the Pokémon Center to rest quickly!"

Upon hearing Scorpion King's words, Qingyuan patted Scorpion King's head, pointed to the town ahead, and loudly addressed Scorpion King.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King roared, grabbed Qingyuan's upper body with its pincers, and began to run wildly down the road.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! My leg! My leg!"

"Scorpio King, you idiot, slow down! You're going to tear my clothes to shreds!"

As Qingyuan was being dragged along by the Scorpion King, he slapped the Scorpion King's large pincers while cursing loudly.

……

It must be said that Scorpio King is very fast at running on two legs.

In just five minutes, the Scorpion King dragged Qingyuan to the town they had seen earlier.

Of course, this would be different if, during this process, Scorpio King didn't drag him forward, but carried him forward instead.

Qingyuan was even more satisfied.

However, as the Scorpion King was making its way towards the town, Qingyuan keenly sensed that something was amiss.

The strange stench, and the lingering dark clouds over the town.

All of this points to one thing: Qingyuan did not come to Kuye City.
