Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 487 The Mad Scorpion King and Zapdos!

"Whoosh!"

As the water curtain formed by splashes in the battlefield fell, Qingyuan was able to see the situation in the battlefield clearly.

At this moment, Gliscor, disregarding the injuries from the fall from the sky, was biting Zapdos's neck while relentlessly attacking Zapdos's head with Poison Jab.

Zapdos, perhaps because it had suffered a severe fall from a great height, was only using its Drill Beak to hold Gliscor's right pincer.

Scorpion King seized all the initiative in the battle.

"Crackling crackling crackling!"

Seeing Zapdos still pecking at its shoulder with its beak, Gliscor released its grip on Zapdos's neck, roaring as it smashed Zapdos's head with its pincers.

Don't get me wrong, its roar wasn't for any kind of bravado, but because Zapdos' Drill Peck had broken its defense.

Its beak had pierced through the Scorpion King's exoskeleton and reached its flesh.

Not wanting to show weakness in front of Zapdos, Gliscor could only roar in pain to express its suffering.

Zapdos didn't react at all to Gliscor's attack, it just kept poking Gliscor with its peck.

The main problem was that its head was still dazed from being hit by the Scorpion King, and even if it wanted to react, it couldn't process what it was doing.

We can only follow its initial idea and keep drilling into the Scorpio King.

In short, it adheres to the idea that if it's not feeling well, neither should it, otherwise it would be at a disadvantage if it made Scorpio King feel good.

"Scorpion King uses Rock Slide!"

Meanwhile, in the command position, watching Gliscor and Zapdos start fighting desperately at the slightest disagreement, Qingyuan shouted loudly at Gliscor in a daze.

They didn't have any personal grudges before, so why did they suddenly start fighting like this?

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King roared and began to condense rocks between itself and Zapdos.

It forcibly separated Zapdos from itself using rocks.

"Zi La~"

Zapdos's Drill Peck tore out a large chunk of flesh along with it as it ripped it out of Gliscor's shoulder.

"Greek!"

Feeling the pain in his shoulder, Scorpion roared and used a rock to prop up Zapdos, launching Rock Slide.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Zapdos was blasted away by Gliscor's Rock Slide and crashed straight into a tree trunk on the side of the battlefield.

"Greek!"

A fierce glint flashed in Gliscor's eyes as it looked at Zapdos, which it had smashed into a tree with Rock Slide.

It has never been injured so badly in its entire life.

Its right pincer can no longer be lifted.

"Scorpion King, are you alright?!"

Standing on the sidelines, Qingyuan looked at Scorpion King's drooping right pincer and asked with a worried expression.

"It's alright!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King's eyes regained their clarity, and he shook his head at Qingyuan.

The injuries Zapdos inflicted on it, though seemingly severe, pierced its exoskeleton and tore off large chunks of its flesh.

It is indeed very heavy.

However, with the help of poison treatment, the wound on its shoulder had begun to heal.

Putting everything else aside, at this moment it felt both pain and itching in its shoulder.

The Scorpio King, who was frequently injured, knew that it was the feeling of his flesh and blood regenerating.

"Fura!"

Meanwhile, Zapdos, which had been knocked into a tree by Gliscor, cried out to Gliscor.

Then its head tilted to the side, turning into round eyes and rendering it unable to fight.

"Oh no, Zapdos!"

Qingyuan, who was focused on Gliscor's injuries, turned to look at Zapdos upon hearing its cry.

When they saw Zapdos's head, which had turned a shiny purple due to poisoning...

Qingyuan immediately shouted and took out a Poké Ball to recall it.

"Scorpion King, come back too! Let Miss Joey heal your wounds properly!"

After putting away Zapdos's Poké Ball, Qingyuan watched as Gliscor took out its Poké Ball and said something to it.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King nodded and called out to Qingyuan.

"Oh dear, what's going on!"

"A friendly spar almost turned into a life-or-death duel!"

After putting away the Scorpion King, Qingyuan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

It was supposed to be a catching battle against Zapdos, but Qingyuan really didn't know how it turned out like this.

……

"what!!!"

"You battled Zapdos??"

At the Pokémon Center, looking at the two Poké Balls on the counter, Joy Blue let out a sharp popping sound and shouted at Qingyuan.

"Yes, is there... a problem?"

Seeing the furious Qiao Yilan in front of him, Qingyuan awkwardly shifted his gaze to the side and asked.

"You've only just recovered and you're already battling it? What a waste! All those days of raising it have been for nothing!"

"The bandages were just removed, how dare you?"

"Zetzart will have to start recovering from its injuries again."

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yilan looked at Qingyuan speechlessly.

She was truly impressed by Qingyuan. The Zapdos had only had its bandages removed for a day, and Qingyuan dared to send it into battle.

Damn, its injury hasn't fully healed yet.

"Hey, you should check them over carefully. Maybe... they might need another surgery!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan spoke to Qiao Yilan with some uncertainty.

"What???"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yilan stared at Qingyuan with wide eyes in shock.

"For some reason, the two of them acted like they had a grudge against each other, and they attacked each other with deadly intent."

"It's not my fault!"

Seeing the shocked look on Qiao Yilan's face, Qingyuan said helplessly to her.

Who knows what's going on between these two? When they spar, Scorpio King is usually quite good at stopping short of a fight.

Little did anyone know, when Kuku fought Zapdos, it was as if Zapdos had stolen its sour lemon candy; Kuku went all out.

And then there's Zapdos. He looks so gentlemanly, but he's a madman when it comes to battle.

The pecking drill wouldn't let go of the Scorpion King's right pincer, and it almost managed to remove the pincer from the Scorpion King.

"I'll settle the score with you later!"

"Chocolate Egg, come help me!"

Hearing this, Joy glared at Qingyuan, picked up the Poké Balls of Gliscor and Zapdos, and quickly walked towards the treatment room.

"Lucky~"

Upon hearing Joy Blue's words, Chansey, which was wiping its shiny, clean egg, quickly barked.

He threw down the rag and hurriedly followed behind Joey Lan toward the treatment room.

Watching Joy and Chansey walk into the treatment room, Qingyuan could only sigh deeply with helplessness.

"What kind of situation is this?!"
