Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 26 Arrival at Pipi's Habitat, the Giant Moonstone!

Qingyuan put Pipi on the ground and, together with Li Ke, began to tidy up the electrical wires on the ground.

Pipi was very well-behaved, just standing quietly to the side watching Qingyuan and the others tidy up.

Charmander is different; he not only runs around on the ground full of wires, messing up the carefully bundled wires.

Even after it poked the wire with its hand and found it to be soft, it directly spat a mouthful of sparks onto it.

If Qingyuan and Li Ke hadn't discovered it in time, Little Fire Dragon might have achieved something remarkable: causing a fire in the tunnel.

Faced with this situation, Qingyuan directly had Scorpion teach it a lesson.

Having learned its lesson, the little fire dragon became very obedient, facing the stone wall with its hands behind its back, trying its best to raise its tail high so that Qingyuan and the others could use it as a torch.

After working for half an hour, Qingyuan and Li Ke finally finished cleaning up the wires left behind by the Rockets.

"These guys really don't get tired! Doing so much!"

Looking at the huge pile of wires in front of him, Qingyuan couldn't help but complain.

"Who says otherwise? Ouch, my back!"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Li Ke, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but pound his waist and agree.

"Alright, stop complaining about your back. Leave these things here for now, and you can move them out in a few days!"

"Let's go check out Pippi's habitat first!"

Qingyuan looked at the power lines in front of him, thought for a moment, and then said...

With so many wires, it would take him and Li Ke a considerable amount of time to transport them out.

He needed to travel quickly to reach Cerulean City and didn't have time to move the power lines with Li Ke here, so Li Ke would have to suffer on his own.

He should hurry up and get to Pipi's habitat to get some moonstones and continue his journey; that's the important thing.

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Li Ke realized that he had to move the wires out himself.

Unfortunately, Qingyuan wouldn't help him, and he couldn't find any other helpers in a short time, so he could only painfully look at the huge pile of wires in front of him.

"When will we be able to move here?!"

Li Ke was inwardly wailing in agony.

Qingyuan didn't care what Li Ke was thinking. At this moment, all he could think about was going to Pipi's habitat and getting a few high-quality moonstones.

So after tidying up, Qingyuan immediately turned to look at Pipi.

Pipi was still standing there obediently, but somehow it was now holding a stone in its hands.

"Ah!...This!"

"Clefairy, are you an evolution stone finder?"

Qingyuan said to Pipi in some shock.

"Piyi?"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Pipi tilted her little head in confusion.

Although Pipi didn't quite understand what Qingyuan was saying, she still handed the stone in her hand to Qingyuan.

Qingyuan is a good person. If you treat it to something delicious, it will repay Qingyuan with something good.

Qingyuan took the stone from Pipi's hand, rubbed it vigorously with his hand, and confirmed that it was a Moon Stone.

He then patted Pipi's head hard and said happily.

"Pipi, you're such a lucky star! Do you want to go on a trip with me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ke, who was standing nearby, immediately spoke up loudly.

"What are you saying! It's so dangerous outside, it's much better to let Pipi live freely here!"

"How could you take it on a trip?!"

Scorpio told him to shut up!

Qingyuan, who had been smiling, immediately darkened his face upon hearing these words.

"Damn you, you simp, you're ruining my chance to catch the elf!"

"Clatter!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion did not hesitate at all, its large pincers flashing white light as it prepared to smash towards Li Ke.

Upon seeing this, Li Ke, who was about to continue nagging, immediately yielded to his own heart.

When Pipi heard Qingyuan's words, it was initially tempted. Being able to eat delicious elf food every day was a great temptation for it.

But thinking of her family and friends in the tribe, Pipi turned her head and declined Qingyuan's invitation.

Seeing this, Qingyuan could only shake his head and sigh.

"There's nothing we can do; we're destined to be apart."

Fortunately, Qingyuan only had the idea of ​​catching Pipi because he saw Pipi's lucky moves.

Indeed, even after capturing Pipi, Qingyuan didn't know how to train it.

It would be nice to have a cute guy as a mascot, but if I was rejected, then so be it.

Of course, if this is truly a Pokémon that Qingyuan really wants to capture, then he will definitely have to forcefully capture it.

I even asked for your opinion, but once I knocked you out, you had no opinion.

Qingyuan shook his head, clearing his mind of these jumbled thoughts, before picking Pipi up again.

"Come on, Pipi, I'll take you home!"

"Pee!"

Hearing this, Pipi nodded and began to point the way to Qingyuan with her little hand.

Qingyuan put away Charmander and Scyther, picked up Scorpion, and walked forward in the direction Pipi pointed.

Li Ke, standing behind him, could only grit his teeth and watch this scene unfold. He also longed to hold Pipi in his arms.

Pipi is so cute, it must be so nice to pet!

With this in mind, Li Ke followed closely behind Qingyuan.

With Pipi's directions, Qingyuan and his group's progress increased significantly.

After walking for about ten minutes, Qingyuan and his group approached the Pipis's true habitat.

As they approached their destination, Pipi suddenly jumped out of Qingyuan's arms.

After making a following gesture to Qingyuan, Pipi quickly ran forward.

Qingyuan followed behind Pipi, and after turning a corner, they arrived at a huge cave.

It's more like a sinkhole than a cave, because the soil layer above the cave has disappeared due to the depression.

Standing inside the cave, you can clearly see the moon in the sky above.

In the very center of the sinkhole is a huge round rock. Qingyuan, who has watched the anime, knows that it is a huge moonstone.

The enormous moonstone emitted a faint, milky-white glow under the moonlight.

Perhaps it's because it's not a full moon today, which makes the light emitted by the giant moonstone seem somewhat imperceptible.

"So many Pipi!"

Just as Qingyuan was observing the giant moonstone, Li Ke, who had finally caught up, couldn't help but sigh at the scene in the sinkhole.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan began to examine the environment inside the sinkhole in detail.

There are indeed many Pipi, not just Pipi, but also Pi Baobao and Pi Kexi.

"Pee!"

Just then, the Pipi that Qingyuan had been holding suddenly pulled over a Pixi who looked much older.

He started gesturing wildly as he introduced Picoshi to Qingyuan. Qingyuan knew that this must be the chief of Picoshi's clan.

Clefairy is a pink, star-shaped Pokémon that walks on two legs and has a curly tail. It has long, pointed ears with black tips. It has wrinkles around its small black eyes, and its head has longer curly hair. Its wings have also become larger, each with three points.

Just as Qingyuan was thinking about how to start the conversation, the Pokédex in his pocket seemed to sense Clefairy and automatically began to introduce it.

Seeing this, Qingyuan could only smile awkwardly, take out the Pokédex, turn off the automatic scanning mode, and then speak.

"Hello, I'm Pipi's friend!"

"Pee-hi!"

Pixi didn't pay any attention and said something to Qingyuan, but Qingyuan didn't understand it anyway.

But after Pixi finished speaking, Pipi started dragging Qingyuan around the sinkhole.

After this stroll, Qingyuan understood why Pipi refused to go with him.

After all, life here is indeed carefree, and there's absolutely no need to follow him out to live that kind of adventurous life.

After wandering around for a while, it was already late at night, and Qingyuan felt sleepy, so he set up camp on the spot, intending to take a nap and talk to everyone else the next morning.

Li Ke even wanted to stay in Qingyuan's tent for a while.

But Qingyuan didn't like sharing a tent with a grown man, so he simply threw him a spare sleeping bag and kicked him out.
