Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 145 Heavenly King-level Nine-Tailed Bodyguard!

Qingyuan accompanied Nine-Tailed Fox and Lady Ayako all the way to the main road.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Qingyuan felt like crying but had no tears left.

He clearly intended to go into the jungle to gain experience, and then cross the forest directly to the Great Plains.

Who would have thought that we would be blocked by a mountain and then experience such a magical thing?

"Let's just wait here. Amei and the others said they'll be here soon!"

Lady Ayako sat on Kurama's back, looking at the communication device she had just hung up on.

"Alright, Sakura, you should go back and take good care of your injuries. Don't run around!"

"She's quite old, yet she still runs around like a child every day!"

After hearing Lady Ayako's words, Kurama nodded and gave her some words of advice with concern.

"I'm not running anymore, I'm too old to run anymore!"

Lady Ayako said with a smile as she got off Kurama.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely outlive your mother!"

"I'll come see you when I have time!"

Seeing Mrs. Ayako's dejected expression, Kurama patted her shoulder with its tail to comfort her.

Hearing this, Qingyuan's lips twitched incessantly.

Is this the blessing of the long-lived to the short-lived? You will surely live longer than your mother.

"Hey kid, what are you doing!"

"What's wrong? Are you going to develop facial paralysis? Do you want me to help you fix it?"

Seeing that Qingyuan's complexion was abnormal, the Nine-Tails used its tail to flip Qingyuan over.

He said to Qingyuan with a displeased look on his face.

"Damn it, Nine-Tails, don't think I won't dare to touch you!"

"You know I have powerful backers too!"

Qingyuan got up from the ground and said angrily to the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"is it?"

"I'm so scared!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Nine-Tails acted like a jerky, completely unconcerned.

Seeing this, Qingyuan, whose strength was inferior to that of the Nine-Tailed Fox, could only swallow his anger.

Lady Ayako, standing to the side, simply watched silently.

Although Qingyuan and Jiuwei are currently not getting along.

But for some reason, Lady Ayako felt that Aohara and Kurama were becoming more and more in sync.

"Hey kid, I have some good news for you, do you want to hear it?"

After Qingyuan remained silent for a long time, Nine-Tails suddenly spoke to him.

"What good news?"

Upon hearing Nine-Tails' words, Qingyuan looked puzzled.

"That means I've decided to travel with you for a while!"

"With my protection, you'll be perfectly safe for the time being!"

"How about that? Aren't you moved? Aren't you incredibly grateful to me?!"

Nine-Tailed Fox spoke to Qingyuan with an arrogant expression.

"What kind of good news is this?!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan showed no respect for the Nine-Tailed Fox and immediately began to complain.

"How much food do you eat every day, you're such a big guy!"

"And you don't listen to my orders. You don't do any work for me, and I still have to pay you to support me!"

"Who could be happy to support someone who just eats for free!"

Seeing Qingyuan's displeased expression, Nine-Tails' proud face began to show some unease.

It seems Qingyuan is right!

"Also, you said you would protect my safety."

"But my biggest goal in traveling is to become stronger!"

"You've kicked away the whetstone that helped me become stronger. Now that I can't get stronger, I should thank you?"

As Qingyuan spoke, he rolled his eyes at the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Upon hearing this, the nine-tailed fox became quite guilty.

Seeing that the Nine-Tails had already fallen into a "cowardly state", Qingyuan was about to give it another push.

Nine-Tailed Fox seemed to have reached its limit and roared at Qingyuan.

"I'm nowhere near as bad as you make me out to be!"

"Hmph, so what if they don't welcome me? I don't care!"

"I can live a great life just fine traveling on my own."

After saying that, Nine-Tails lay down on the ground and turned its head away from Qingyuan like a child.

Seeing this, Qingyuan couldn't help but reveal a triumphant smile.

"Oh dear, look at you, why are you still angry!"

"You're not entirely useless, you can help teach my friends skills!"

"In return, I'll provide you with meals and take you on a trip, how about that?"

"You should know that as an elf, you cannot directly enter human cities without a human escort!"

As Qingyuan spoke, he gave the Nine-Tailed Fox a look that said, "You've hit the jackpot."

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Nine-Tailed Fox immediately began to ponder.

Qingyuan's words seemed to make a lot of sense, and it taught Qingyuan the spirit skills.

Qingyuan took it traveling around the world and provided it with food along the way.

It seems like I'm the one who got the better deal!

As the Nine-Tailed Fox was sorting things out, it suddenly dawned on Qingyuan that this condition was putting him at a disadvantage.

It only requires teaching a few Pokémon skills, that's all.

But Qingyuan has to take it on his travels and spend money to buy it food to feed it.

Two things need to be done, and comparing the two things, it's the better one!

Seeing that Nine-Tailed Fox had already shown a hint of interest, Qingyuan continued to add more ingredients.

"I'll make you some special elf food!"

"Although it will be a bit more expensive, the customized food will be more delicious and nutritious!"

Upon hearing this, Nine-Tailed Fox immediately nodded in agreement, after all, Qingyuan had shown his sincerity.

It would be quite unreasonable for it not to agree!

"Okay, fine, let's do it your way!"

Nine-Tailed Fox nodded and said to Qingyuan.

"Yes!"

Hearing that Nine-Tailed Fox had personally agreed, Qingyuan was extremely excited.

Just like that, we snatched a king-level combatant.

However, although Qingyuan was excited inside, he still showed some distress on his face as he said...

"But we need to make this clear beforehand: you cannot disobey my orders and act without my permission!"

"If you cause a riot in a human city, I'll be in trouble!"

After listening, Nine-Tailed Fox nodded.

"Don't worry, kid. I've lived for so many years, I'm much more mature than you think!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan curled his lip in disdain.

"That's not necessarily true. Look at him, he's lived for so many years, and I still managed to trick him into marrying me!"

Of course, this was just Qingyuan's inner thought; he could never say it directly to the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Then score a goal!"

After saying that, Qingyuan took out a High Ball that wasn't bound to Professor Oak's lab and placed it in front of Nine-Tails.

Seeing this, Nine-Tails did not rush to press down, but instead turned to Lady Ayako and said.

"Then I'm off, Sakura. I'm going to go with this kid to see the beautiful world Lisa described!"

I'll come back to see you when I have time!

After saying that, Nine-Tailed Fox turned its head to look in the direction of the castle and let out a long howl.

"Awoo~ (I'm leaving, Lisa!)"

Then it pressed the button for the advanced ball heavily.

"Ding dong!"

Seeing the Poké Ball successfully captured without making a sound, Qingyuan's excitement was palpable.

"I have successfully subdued the Nine-Tails!"
