Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 437 Just like I will always believe in you, I will always choose you with unwavering determi

If Celebi had said this to him when he first met Scorpio.

He would definitely choose to change the past immediately and experience a warm childhood again.

But having been through so much with Scorpio King, Scorpio King had long since occupied a very important place in his heart.

It can be said that no one can compare to the importance of Scorpio King in his heart, not even Cat Boss, who once saved his life.

Just as he can always trust Scorpio King, when faced with a choice, he will always unwaveringly choose Scorpio King.

For him, the Scorpio King is never a choice, but a must.

Therefore, upon learning that changing the past would prevent him from meeting the Scorpio King, Qingyuan did not hesitate at all.

They simply gave up on the idea of ​​changing the past.

When are we going back?

Looking at Celebi in front of him, Qingyuan looked up and asked.

Having given up on changing the past, Qingyuan now only wants to return to the present.

"Anytime is fine, but the battle will break out in two days!"

"Are you sure you don't want to stay here with Ah Chen a little longer?"

Seeing Qingyuan wanting to go back immediately, Celebi said to him.

"Do not……"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately wanted to say that he would not stay.

But before he could finish speaking, he thought of Venusaur.

It waited patiently for over a decade in the heart of Viridian Forest, and finally, Celebi used time travel to transport it to meet Achen.

However, because of him, it cannot recognize Ah Chen.

Now that Chen has finally come clean with things, Venusaur can finally acknowledge Chen as its owner.

If he were to go back now, it would be too unfair to Venusaur.

"Let's wait a little longer!"

After thinking it over carefully, Qingyuan spoke to Celebi.

"Okay, just call me when you want to leave!"

As she spoke, Celebi left a green seed mark in Qingyuan's palm and then disappeared into the air.

"If I had a few more tattoos on my hands, they'd be covered in full-sleeve tattoos!"

Looking at the green seed mark on his palm, Qingyuan made a comment and then began to pack his things.

Since he's preparing to go back, he can't leave these things he brought from the future here.

He hadn't forgotten what Venusaur had said: this little cabin would be forcibly demolished a few years ago.

Leaving these things from the future here might cause a stir.

……

By the time Qingyuan had finished packing up, it was already evening.

Ah Chen also rushed back from the hospital at this moment. He wanted to cook dinner for Fu Feng Xi Yao at home and then bring it to her.

"I'll take care of it. You go and keep Venusaur company. It's been waiting in the heart of Viridian Forest for over a decade!"

"It has been here for so long, but because of me, it has been unable to recognize you!"

"I feel really bad for it. Please spend some quality time with it!"

Qingyuan went to the kitchen, took the spatula from Achen's hand, and said to Achen.

"Row!"

Upon hearing this, Achen was taken aback, then nodded to Qingyuan.

She handed the spatula to Qingyuan and went out of the kitchen to keep Bulbasaur company.

After taking the spatula, Qingyuan began to prepare dinner seriously.

To be fair, his cooking skills are quite good; at least everyone who has eaten his food says it's delicious.

On the other side, after leaving the kitchen, A-Chen came to the front of Venusaur.

At this moment, he finally understood why Venusaur had been so attached to him.

"Good morning, Venusaur! It's been a long time!"

Seeing Venusaur lying on the lawn, half asleep, Achen walked up to it, patted its head, and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Venusaur was stunned, opened its eyes and stared blankly at Achen, tears streaming down its face.

"Good morning" is Ah Chen's unique way of greeting his dog.

Back then, it was trapped in a cage and suspended in mid-air by the scions of a noble family, who were researching how long it would take for Bulbasaur to die if it didn't eat or drink and only basked in the sun.

It was Ah Chen who freed it from its cage.

"Good morning, Bulbasaur! The night has passed, and the future is bright!"

Even though it was nighttime, I greeted it with a good morning, and Venusaur still remembers it to this day.

"Da na da na! (You finally recognized me, Chen!)"

Venusaur immediately plunged into Chen's arms, just like many years ago when it was still a Bulbasaur and Chen had rescued it by holding it in his arms.

"Okay, okay, stop crying, I'm right here!"

Achen was knocked to the ground by Venusaur, but he wasn't angry. He simply sat down on the lawn, stroked Venusaur's head, and comforted the crying Venusaur.

"Da na da na!"

Upon hearing Ah Chen's words, Venusaur was at a loss for words and burst into tears.

"You must have suffered a lot over the years!"

Ah Chen touched the scars left by time on Venusaur's skin and said to Venusaur with a complicated expression.

"Da na da na! (I miss you so much, Ah Chen!)"

"Da na da na! (Celebi can't be trusted!!!)"

Hearing this, Venusaur, who was already sad, became even more aggrieved.

Ah Chen, who didn't understand Pokémon, simply stroked the crying Venusaur's big head.

"..."

Under Achen's gentle caresses, the Venusaur, having poured out its emotions, unknowingly fell asleep in Achen's arms.

Seeing this, Achen didn't rush to wake up Venusaur, but simply stroked its head, waiting for night to fall.

This might be the last time he spends with Bulbasaur; in a few days, he will be going to Viridian Forest to face his death.

Then there will be no more chances to see Venusaur.

I might as well take this opportunity to spend time with Venusaur and let it get a good night's sleep.

……

Time passed slowly, and by the time Venusaur woke up again, Chen had already left.

Venusaur looked up and could only see Qingyuan sitting under the eaves of the wooden house, gazing at the night sky with a worried expression.

"Awake?"

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to prepare dinner for you?"

Noticing the movement of Venusaur, Qingyuan asked it gently.

"Da na da na! (I'm not hungry, is Ah Chen gone?)"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Venusaur shook its head and said to Qingyuan.

"He's gone. He's gone to be with Fu Feng Xi Yao. After all, he's a good father and a good husband!"

Hearing Venusaur's words, Qingyuan nodded and said.

"Da na? (Qingyuan...should we go back?)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Venusaur came to Qingyuan's side and after a long while, it raised its head and asked Qingyuan.

"It'll only be a couple of days. Are you reluctant to leave?"

Hearing this, Qingyuan nodded and stroked Venusaur's head.

"Da na! (I can't bear to part with it!)"

Upon hearing this, Venusaur nodded without hesitation and addressed Qingyuan.

The happiest and most painful years of its life happened here, how could it possibly bear to leave?

Hearing this, Qingyuan didn't say anything, but silently stroked Venusaur's head, hoping to comfort it.
