Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 426 The Past of Father Achen!

"Da na! (That's right, you haven't met A-Chen before, you should definitely take this opportunity to meet him!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Venusaur quickly got up from the ground, wiped away its tears, and said to Qingyuan.

"Da na! (Damn Celebi, get out here right now! The little one is all about A-Chen!)"

After wiping away her tears, Venusaur stretched out its vines and pulled Celebi out of the Viridian Spring, saying in a very unpleasant tone.

"No, at least show me some respect, after all, you're asking for a favor!"

Looking at the unusually rough Venusaur that had pulled him up, Celebi said with a helpless expression.

It's just that I really feel bad for Venusaur; if it were any other Pokémon, it would just throw them away and the opponent wouldn't even be able to touch them.

So what if you have champion-level skills? Even if you have champion-level skills, you still can't travel through time.

If you attack me, I'll just travel back in time, then you can tell me how you're going to fight back.

"Da na! (If it weren't for you, I would have met you sixteen years ago!)"

"Da na! (Why did it take me so long to see you, my lady? Hurry up, don't force me to lose my temper when I'm so happy!)"

Hearing Celebi's words, Venusaur shook the water off Celebi in an annoyed manner.

"Wait a moment, the Forest of Everlasting said that He wants to speak to Qingyuan in person about his father!"

"It's no use asking me. Let the Forest of Everlasting Forest go to Seigen himself!"

Celebi, having had its water roughly shaken off by Venusaur, looked like it had been thoroughly messed up and said to Venusaur.

As soon as Celebi finished speaking, the once calm Viridian Spring suddenly began to surge and churn violently.

A jet of water shot into the air from the Everlasting Spring, exploding into a shower of spray.

The scene before Qingyuan suddenly began to change, and he began to watch the life of a man named Achen from the perspective of Tokiwa Forest.

A-Chen was also an orphan, abandoned at the gate of the Tokiwa Welfare Home not long after his birth.

However, he was lucky enough to be adopted by Granny Qiao, who had no children of her own, when he was two years old.

He left the orphanage before he had experienced some of its events when he was mentally mature.

Grandma Qiao is a very good person. When she was young, she had a strong sense of justice and often stood up for those who were bullied.

So in her old age, the neighbors around her respected her greatly.

Correspondingly, out of love for the house, Ah Chen has always had a group of kind neighbors.

In this friendly environment, Ah Chen inevitably developed a childlike heart.

When he was ten years old, in pursuit of his dream of becoming a trainer, Ah Chen took a Poké Ball and went to the wild.

To save a Caterpie that was being attacked by Spearow, he used his only Poké Ball to capture the Caterpie and then faced the Spearow's attack alone.

And after being rescued by the neighbor, instead of blaming the Fiery Sparrow, she gave it some spirit food to fill its stomach.

Viridian Forest, which had been watching over him, bestowed upon Chen the blessing from Viridian Forest.

If Qingyuan obtained the power of Tokiwa through his father's blessings.

Ah Chen relied entirely on the power of the Everlasting Realm that he obtained on his own.

Viridian Forest watches over every child living around Viridian Forest, though not every kind-hearted child can obtain the power of Viridian.

However, the children who were granted the power of Viridian by Viridian Forest must all be kind-hearted and treat all elves and humans equally.

After all, even Giovanni was a kind-hearted, sunny, and cheerful young man who treated elves and humans equally.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have captured a Beedrill and made it his Pokémon.

As for now, to some extent, he hasn't changed his original intention; he treats elves and humans equally.

Although he conducted numerous experiments on spirits, he also conducted just as many human experiments.

Therefore, Ah Chen truly obtained the power of the Everlasting Wall purely through his own efforts; he was just a little luckier than others.

After obtaining the power of Tokiwa, A-Chen began his extraordinary life.

With the help of the power of Viridian, his Caterpie's strength increased rapidly, and it soon evolved into Butterfree.

Thanks to the three-powder tactic that Butterfly and he had carefully studied, Ah Chen quickly made a name for himself around Tokiwa City.

At that time, Yukinari Oki announced that he would step down as champion and move into the field of research.

Countless young talents across the Kanto region began their march toward the championship.

As a prominent figure in Tokiwa City, A-Chen is no exception, striving to provide a better life for Grandma Qiao, who raised him.

Ah Chen resolutely embarked on the path of conquering the alliance.

Of course, the alliance at that time was still in an era of rule by powerful families, and Damalangi had just come to power.

As a commoner, Ah Chen inevitably encountered many injustices.

However, thanks to growing up surrounded by love, Ah Chen is always able to speak out against injustice when faced with these situations.

At the same time, he can adjust his mindset and resolve to change this alliance.

It was during this trip that he gained a group of companions, including Venusaur.

He also met a righteous young woman from a prestigious family.

These were young boys and girls just beginning to experience love, and sharing the same ideals, they quickly fell in love.

At the age of 19, he failed to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings and lost to the veteran Heavenly King, Grandma Kikuko.

Having achieved a certain social standing, Ah Chen chose to return to Tokiwa City to relax and spend time with Grandma Qiao Zi.

At 21, Ah-Chen married a young woman from a prominent family, with Grandma Qiao as their witness.

Because of his love for nature, Ah Chen specially built a wooden house near the Evergreen Forest as their wedding home.

23-year-old Achen, who had been married for two years, received some good news: his wife was pregnant, and their little family was welcoming a new member.

Upon learning that his wife was pregnant, Ah Chen immediately shared the good news with Qiao Zi's mother-in-law.

At this time, Grandma Qiao was already very old, and her legs were no longer functional. She could only sit in a chair and bask in the sun every day.

This was actually a very difficult thing for Qiao Zi's mother-in-law, who had always been a strong-willed woman.

If it weren't for her distrust of Ah Chen, Grandma Qiao might have taken her own life long ago.

Having been strong her whole life, she didn't want Ah Chen, this little guy, to see her in such a disheveled state.

Upon hearing this news, Grandma Qiao didn't say anything, but just looked at Ah Chen, who was happily jumping around in front of her, with a smile on her face.

This little guy is still as impatient as he was when he was a child, but he should mature a lot after becoming a father.

That night, Grandma Qiao, finally at peace with her father, passed away with a smile on her face!
