Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 93 The Correct Way to Use Ghost-Type Pokémon

The Cursed Doll resembles an ordinary rag doll with a zipper on its mouth. Originally, it was just a pitiful, discarded toy. The energy of the curse seeped into the cotton of the abandoned doll, and its intense resentment transformed it into a Pokémon. It inhabits junkyards and can be found in dimly lit alleys.

Qingyuan held a Slowpoke Poké Ball in one hand and a Pokédex in the other.

A smile finally appeared on Qingyuan's lips as he watched the Pokédex input the information about the Cursed Doll.

The Cursed Doll is a rare elf, so this is a worthwhile trade.

Qingyuan, who was already very familiar with Tieyan, already knew what the champion's reward was.

Since this is essentially a battle for fun, the rewards can't be too great.

The champion's prize is a large pearl found by the Iron Claw Lobster during a dive, which is worth about 10,000 Alliance Coins.

The runner-up prize is a small gold bead, worth about 5,000 Alliance Coins.

The third-place prize is a small pearl, worth around three thousand Alliance Coins.

In addition, the top three teams were all exempted from their boat fares for this trip.

It's like taking a free cruise and earning a few thousand Alliance Coins along the way.

After putting away the Pokédex, Qingyuan glared fiercely at Xia Qiu, who was a sore loser.

He turned and left the battlefield; he would get his revenge sooner or later.

"Brother Qingyuan, how's Xiaodaidai doing?"

Seeing this, Shana quickly ran towards Qingyuan.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan stopped and stared in surprise at Xia Na, who was running towards him.

He then shook his head and said.

"Slowpoke is fine, this guy can take a beating!"

"I'll take it to the ship's medical room for treatment; this little injury will heal quickly!"

Hearing this, Shana's tense little face finally relaxed.

"Then I'll go with you, Brother Qingyuan!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan glanced at Xia Qiu, whose expression was growing cold.

A mischievous urge couldn't help but rise within me.

"Okay, then you can come with me. Do I need to tell your brother?"

"No need, he'll come by himself in a bit!"

Shana shook her head and followed Qingyuan toward the ship's medical room.

Xia Qiu, who had initially thought that what she was doing might be a bit inappropriate, immediately turned cold upon seeing this scene.

"I didn't hit you hard enough!"

Xia Qiu muttered something under her breath, then hurriedly ran in the direction Qingyuan and the others had left.

He dared not let Shana follow Qingyuan alone.

On the way to the treatment room, we passed by the restaurant.

Qingyuan casually grabbed a few popsicles and gave one to Xia Na.

After handing Slowpoke over to the doctor in the treatment room, Qingyuan and Shana sat in the treatment room eating popsicles and waiting.

When Xia Qiu, covered in sweat, squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the treatment room, she saw this scene.

His already cold expression turned even colder.

It felt like splashing a glass of water in his face, and the water would freeze on his face.

Looking at the "ice block face" in front of him, Qingyuan took out an ice pop from his pocket and handed it to Xia Qiu.

"Let's cool off with an ice pop, we can't afford to play games like this!"

"Hmph! No need, and besides, your mouth stinks!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Xia Qiu snorted coldly and immediately retaliated.

Qingyuan didn't pay any attention to what he heard and handed the unopened popsicle to Xia Na.

He then took out another popsicle from his pocket, tore it open, and started eating it.

On a hot summer day, after finishing a match, you can enjoy an ice pop.

That feeling is absolutely amazing.

Of course, this battle doesn't end with the opponent being instantly killed because they can't handle the situation.

Rather, it was a close battle where the two sides fought evenly but ultimately lost.

That feeling must be even more amazing.

Shana took Qingyuan's popsicle and happily started eating it.

As for Xia Qiu, Shana said she wasn't very familiar with her and needed to eat an ice pop to think it over.

Watching the two eating popsicles, Xia Qiu felt herself getting hotter and hotter.

However, he also had a good way to escape the heat; he released a dream monster.

"Huh?"

Seeing its surroundings, the dream demon cried out in confusion.

"I'm a little hot!"

Hearing the dream demon's puzzled cry, Xia Qiu said somewhat embarrassedly.

Upon hearing this, the dream demon immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.

Then it obediently ran into Xia Qiu's arms.

"Whoo~"

Holding Meng Yao in his arms, Xia Qiu, covered in sweat, let out a very comfortable sigh.

The dreavus's body is dark green. Its hair is phosphorescent, its irises are red, and it wears a conspicuous string of red beads around its neck. The dreavus sleeps in the dark during the day. It loves to see people startled; it will suddenly bite or pull a person's hair and then watch the person's surprised expression for amusement.

Xia Qiu, holding the Dream Demon, was just about to close her eyes and enjoy the coolness it brought.

Then I heard an electronic sound coming from the side.

Xia Qiu frowned and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

While eating an ice pop, Qingyuan was scanning Misdreavus with his Pokédex.

Seeing Xia Qiu's gaze, Qing Yuan raised the Pokédex in his hand.

"I'm just a country bumpkin, I haven't seen many Ghost-type Pokémon before, I'm a little curious!"

After saying that, Qingyuan smiled at Xia Qiu.

"Brother, can the cursed doll hold me?"

Just then, Shana, who was sitting to the side, suddenly came up to Xia Qiu and tugged at his sleeve, acting coquettishly.

"The cursed doll is a little angry because you didn't cheer it on earlier."

"Okay, I'll apologize to it. Can you let it out so I can cool off a bit?"

Hearing Xia Qiu's words, Xia Na tugged at Xia Qiu's clothes again and said coquettishly.

Finally, after signing a series of agreements with Xia Qiu, including one that stipulated that the watch could not leave his sight, he agreed to the terms.

Xia Qiu then released the cursed doll, letting it carry Shana to the side to cool off.

Qingyuan watched this scene while eating an ice pop.

Xia Qiu's methods are quite sophisticated; even the lively little girl Xia Na is now completely subdued.

"Um, Qingyuan, I'm sorry, I got a little carried away during the battle just now!"

Just as Qingyuan was eating an ice pop and getting lost in thought,

Xia Qiu suddenly apologized to Qing Yuan.

"This is the large pearl that I was awarded as a prize for injuring Slowpoke! Consider it compensation for hurting Slowpoke!"

Seeing that Qingyuan was still in a daze, Xia Qiu took out the champion's reward he had just received and handed it to Qingyuan.

"No, no!"

"I'm just not as skilled as others, there's nothing to apologize for!"

"Besides, Slowpoke's injuries weren't serious, so there's no need for such an expensive apology!"

Qingyuan shook his head and pushed the things Xia Qiu handed him back.

To Qingyuan's surprise, Xia Qiu was not only an ice-cold person, but also a stubborn one.

Qingyuan declined his offer four or five times before finally managing to dissuade him from apologizing.

"Why are there so many stubborn people in this world?!"

Looking at Xia Qiu, whose expression was somewhat unnatural, Qingyuan couldn't help but think to himself.
