Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 159 The first spirit to actively follow!

"Miss Officer Jenny, this guy is in your hands now!"

Faced with Hunter L's angry outburst, Qingyuan showed no anger whatsoever, but instead smiled and said to Officer Salaam.

"Yes, Hunter L put up a fierce resistance during the escort!"

"One of our officers made a careless mistake, causing the hunter L to fall off the escort vehicle while it was in motion, which ultimately resulted in a comminuted fracture of his lower body!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Officer Jenny solemnly recounted Hunter L's subsequent experiences to him.

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan nodded slightly, and then went to check on Karakara's condition.

Upon seeing this, Officer Jenny gave some instructions to the two officers.

The two officers each took one arm and pulled Hunter L toward the nearby woods.

"Ahhh!"

Soon, the hunter L's shrill screams echoed from the woods.

Qingyuan, however, seemed not to hear anything and focused solely on interacting with the Karakara in front of him.

"Just follow them in a bit, they will take you to a relatively safe place to stay!"

"Although it's safe there, don't forget to become stronger!"

"In this world, only by becoming strong can you take control of your own destiny!"

Looking at the dejected Karakara in front of him, Qingyuan took out a cloth and wiped the mask on its head while saying something.

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Karakara couldn't help but raise her head and look at Qingyuan.

This is the person who helped him avenge the murder of his mother.

After this incident, Karakara has fully realized the importance of strength.

To cower in one place and spend the rest of its life there is certainly not what it desires.

If it could, it would actually like to follow Qingyuan.

Under Qingyuan's command, they became even stronger, and then went to fight against evil, so that more elves would not repeat the tragedy they had experienced.

However, it seems that Qingyuan doesn't have this idea.

But my mother once said that happiness is something you have to fight for.

Remembering what her mother had said, Karakara looked at Qingyuan's gentle face and finally mustered up the courage to ask that question.

"Cough cough! (May I follow you?)"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan was completely stunned.

This is probably the first time an elf has volunteered to follow him.

Of course, Nine-Tails doesn't count. Nine-Tails followed Qingyuan purely to find a long-term meal ticket.

"Could someone like me really gain the voluntary following of a strange elf?"

Looking into Karakara's expectant eyes, Qingyuan thought in disbelief.

I originally thought that someone as selfish as myself would never win the favor of a strange elf in this lifetime.

I never expected this favor to come so suddenly.

Seeing the disappointment gradually creeping into those eyes, Qingyuan smiled and patted Karakara's head.

"Of course you can, but you'll have to suffer a lot in the future!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Karakara's previously dejected eyes suddenly lit up again.

"Cough cough! (I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm just afraid you won't want me!)"

Looking into Qingyuan's gentle eyes, Karakara spoke to Qingyuan with extreme determination, yet also with a hint of inferiority.

"Don't worry, once you become my elves, I will never abandon any of you!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan smiled and patted Karakara's head.

"So, shall we come in now?"

Qingyuan took out a high-grade ball and placed it in front of Karakara, saying...

"Cough!"

Upon seeing this, Caracara shouted and pressed the button for the Advanced Ball.

What followed was a scene familiar to Qingyuan: Karakara offered no resistance and was successfully subdued.

"Congratulations on capturing Karakara, Investigator Qingyuan!"

Seeing this, Officer Jenny also congratulated Qingyuan.

"Thank you!"

After thanking Officer Sylvanas, Qingyuan looked at the Poké Ball in his hand and felt a surge of emotion.

He truly hadn't expected that upon arriving in the elven world, the first person to show him favor would be him.

And the elf who actively followed him was actually a Calakarala.

Although I had fantasized countless times in my past life about coming to the world of elves and capturing all kinds of mythical beasts.

Various powerful Pokémon came to join them, and then they embarked on a journey to collect badges in a month and defeat the Elite Four in half a year.

He defeated the champion in nine months, became the world champion in a year, became invincible in the Pokémon world, and found a bunch of beautiful women to be his wives.

But after all these fantasies had been in this world for years, he had completely forgotten them.

Because he lacks a system, all of the aforementioned fantasies are impossible goals for him to achieve.

You should know that even Scorpio King, who is currently the person he has the deepest feelings for, is involved.

He subdued them with a single blow back then.

Karakara's initiative to join Qingyuan is of great significance.

Of course, this is symbolic; it symbolizes the young cowherd from the ranch back then.

No longer a weak trainer to be slaughtered.

Recalling his travel experiences and Jun Shalan's attitude towards him just now, Qingyuan felt somewhat dazed.

Is he finally considered someone important now?

But that's not enough. Just think of Watanabe's dashing entrance.

The way the people around him looked up at him.

A thought involuntarily arose in Qingyuan's mind.

"That's what a man should do!"

Having solidified his resolve to become stronger, Qingyuan shook his head, banishing those random thoughts from his mind.

He took out the Pokédex from his waist.

His strength is still weak, so instead of thinking about those other things, he should look at Karakara's potential.

Even if Karakara's potential is terrible, Qingyuan will not abandon him.

However, Qingyuan's hands still trembled involuntarily at this moment.

After all, it was the first Pokémon to actively follow him, and he didn't want Crawdala to be relegated to the sidelines.

When Cara Cara is lonely, it cries loudly, and the skull it wears on its head makes a cracking sound. When it is sad and lonely, the skull it wears also sways, making brief, mournful sounds. Although it also cries because of sad dreams, it becomes stronger with each tear it sheds. It is said that it evolves when it overcomes the grief of its mother's death.

As a familiar electronic sound rang out, Karakara's information was successfully added to the Pokédex.

Elf: Karakara

Rating: 7

Developmental comparison: average

Attribute: Ground

Ability: Hard Head (Even when using moves that would cause recoil damage, HP will not decrease.) [This Pokémon appears only once.]

Skills: Belly Drum, Mud Throw, Bark, Tail Wagging, Headbutt, Stop When You've Got It, Revenge

It's impossible for everything to go as planned.

To Qingyuan's dismay, Karakara's potential was indeed not very good.

At least until Qingyuan challenges the Quartz League, Karakara is destined to sit on the sidelines for a while.

Today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year in northern China. I wish everyone a blessed Little New Year filled with good fortune and a joyful New Year!
