Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 346 Welcoming Jun Shaqi!

The next morning, Qingyuan woke up in Professor Oak's guest room.

The first thing I saw was the spaceship parked in Professor Oak's backyard.

Last night, he chatted with Professor Oak for a bit, had dinner, and then went to bed.

After all, it was yet another attack, although this time they easily defeated their opponent and gained a large amount of wealth.

But deep down, Qingyuan still felt quite tired, after all, he had killed so many people!

So after dinner, Qingyuan went to sleep in Professor Oak's guest room.

The reason he got up so early today was because he had made a call to Jun Shaqi last night.

He told her about his assassination attempt and how he defeated the elf hunter and obtained a bunch of rare elves.

She told Qingyuan that she planned to come see him today.

To welcome his distinguished friend, Qingyuan got out of bed early in the morning.

"Greeting! (Qingyuan, you're up so early today?)"

In the living room, Gliscor, who was observing Charizard with Professor Oak, couldn't help but speak when he saw Qingyuan.

Although Qingyuan usually gets up early, that's only when there's something to do.

If Qingyuan has nothing to do the next day, he usually stays in bed a little longer.

"Get out of here, what are you saying? Do you think I'm lazy on ordinary days?"

Hearing what the Scorpion King said, Qingyuan rolled his eyes at it and said.

The guys he has are all utterly rude and incompetent; it's unclear who they learned that from.

He's such an upright person, so why are the things he uses so improper?

After shaking his head, Qingyuan left the living room and walked towards the courtyard.

When Officer Jenny came to Pallet Town for the first time, he had to pick her up at the entrance of Professor Oak's research lab.

That way she won't get lost in Professor Oak's backyard again.

"Giggle! (So that's why you got up so early this morning – you were getting ready to pick someone up! I knew Qingyuan wouldn't get up this early for no reason!)"

Watching Qingyuan's departing figure, Scorpion King had an "I knew it" look on its face and complained to Charizard.

"Roar?"

At this moment, the fire-breathing dragon, which was about to undergo an inspection inside the instrument, suddenly looked completely bewildered.

What the hell? What were Qingyuan and Scorpion King talking about? It didn't hear a thing!

"Suddenly..."

As soon as Qingyuan arrived at the entrance of Dr. Oki's research institute, he heard the sound of a motorcycle.

Qingyuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jun Shaqi riding her beloved little motorcycle toward them.

Behind her were two huge trucks.

"Qingyuan!"

Upon seeing Qingyuan, Jun Shaqi greeted him excitedly.

Then he drifted and stopped his motorcycle in front of Qingyuan.

"Luca!"

Lucario, sitting in the sidecar of the motorcycle, jumped up and landed in front of Qingyuan, greeting him.

Good morning, Sister Qi!

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan first greeted Jun Shaqi.

"Well, Lucario, it's really unfair to make you sit in this little sidecar!"

Then he rubbed Lucario's head and said with a smile.

Lucario possesses the ability to detect the aura emitted by anything. By detecting the aura emitted by an opponent, it can read their thoughts and actions, understand human language, and even learn the emotions of an opponent a kilometer away. It learns things it doesn't want to know, making it easy to accumulate stress…

...It is said that by capturing the Aura, one can see opponents who were previously invisible. Because it can understand human thoughts, it only befriends trainers with upright hearts. It not only reads, but also gains the ability to manipulate the Aura. It uses the power of the Aura to hunt, a power that can shatter even massive rocks.

"what are you doing?"

Looking at Qingyuan, who was scanning Lucario with a Pokédex, Officer Sage asked with a puzzled expression.

"To gather information on Lucario, what else can we do!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan simply shrugged at Jun Shaqi and said...

"Didn't you see Lucario last time?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Shaqi became even more puzzled.

She remembered that Qingyuan had seen Lucario last time in the fossil cave.

Why is it scanning Lucario again now?

"It's obvious that I didn't gather any information about Lucario last time!"

"By the way, Sister Qi, where's your Arcanine? Release it so I can gather some information!"

Looking at the Pokédex, which now contained all the information about Lucario, Qingyuan flipped through it.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he said to Officer Jenny.

Since I last looked back, I realized I had missed many opportunities to collect information about Pokémon.

Qingyuan vowed that he would gather information about any Pokémon he encountered in the future.

After all, collecting Pokémon information and illustrations is one of the most fun parts of becoming a Pokémon Master.

"Wait a minute, take us to Professor Oak's yard first!"

"Growlithe is stuck on me, it can't escape!"

Hearing this, Jun Shaqi rolled her eyes at Qingyuan, somewhat speechless.

It really seems like Qingyuan has become even more unruly after the two attacks.

I clearly remember that when I first met Qingyuan in Kuroba City, Qingyuan was quite serious.

"Oh, it's just a little bit of stuff, it's all on my spaceship, what's the rush!"

"Let the Arcanine out and give me a quick scan!"

"Furthermore, the Alliance hasn't given me an explanation yet regarding the attack on me by the steward of the Shangfufeng family!"

"Tell me first, how does the league plan to handle this?"

"Slowpoke, lead them to my spaceship!"

Upon hearing Jun Shaqi's words, Qingyuan first showed an impatient expression.

Then he released Slowking, letting it guide the two trucks to his spaceship to retrieve the Pokémon eggs.

"This matter..."

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Jun Shaqi hesitated, but then stopped when she saw both trucks enter Professor Oak's research institute.

Then he spoke to Qingyuan again.

"This is a very troublesome matter!"

"President Dama Lanqi and we are planning to completely crush the Fufeng family in order to deter those increasingly arrogant families within the alliance!"

"But those powerful families were unwilling to lose face like this, so they strongly opposed Chairman Dama Lanqi's proposal!"

"The two sides are currently locked in a fierce battle, and this matter won't be resolved anytime soon!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan stood there lost in thought.

Who is Dama Lanqi again?

He's a guild leader, is there such a person in the original work?
