Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 236 Arrival in Ston Town!

Having successfully touched Pikachu in Pikachu Forest, I left with a satisfied heart.

He paid for it by using almost all the general-purpose Pokémon food in his backpack.

But Qingyuan, who had enjoyed himself, didn't feel like he'd lost out.

Actually, before leaving, he was thinking of catching one of these Pikachus to take with him.

However, life in Pikachu Forest seems quite peaceful.

After Qingyuan extended the invitation, not a single one of the dozens of Pikachus was willing to go on the trip with him.

There wasn't even the slightest bit of interest.

Otherwise, given Qingyuan's personality, as long as even one of those Pikachus is curious about the outside world...

Even if Qingyuan were to be tied up, he would still have to take a Pikachu with him.

Unfortunately, in a group of dozens of Pikachu, not a single one showed any intention of venturing out.

This includes Nidoran's new friend, Pichu.

Pichu was very reluctant to see Nidoran leave.

But it is still just a juvenile Pichu, and its friends are not as attractive to it as its mother's embrace.

So when Qingyuan extended the invitation, Pichu only hesitated for a short while.

It immediately ran into its mother Pikachu's arms.

Qingyuan had no choice but to accept this, since Pichu was too young. It would be too cruel of him to forcibly separate the mother and child.

In the end, the kind-hearted Qingyuan could only leave Pikachu Forest in disappointment.

Qingyuan was deeply discouraged when his first invitation to the elves was rejected.

He felt that he might never come back to Pikachu Forest, this sad place.

After leaving Pikachu Forest, Qingyuan traveled for two days.

They successfully arrived at Stom Town, the legendary town known as the town of evolution stones.

"Ibrahimovic, hurry up and go. Come back after the carnival!"

As soon as they entered the town, Qingyuan heard a furtive voice coming from a corner.

Qingyuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little boy with brown hair pushing and shoving an Eevee.

Ibrahimovic looked at the little boy in front of him with a face full of reluctance.

"Hurry up and go, I'll come pick you up after the carnival!"

"As long as we get through this one time, everything will be fine!"

The little boy, or rather Taiichi, seeing the reluctant Eevee in front of him, hardened his heart and kept pushing Eevee.

"Bu-ee!"

Upon hearing Tai's words, Eevee shook its head at Tai with a look of reluctance.

It doesn't want to leave its trainer!

Seeing this, Qingyuan could clearly see that Taiyi was on the verge of collapse.

"Hurry up and run, or your brothers will catch you and you'll evolve!"

"You'd better get out of here!"

Seeing Eevee's actions, Taichi shouted loudly and increased the intensity of his hand movements.

"Alright, if you keep going like this, you're going to hurt Ibu's feelings!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan stepped forward and stopped Taiyi from pushing Eevee's hand.

"What do you know? If you don't let Eevee leave, it's going to evolve!"

"As long as I can avoid this carnival, that'll be fine!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Taiyi shook off Qingyuan's hand and said.

Now that Taiichi's hand was no longer there to stop him, Eevee had successfully run to Taiichi's feet.

She grabbed Tai's foot with her little paws.

"Evolution is a good thing, why don't you want Eevee to evolve?"

Hearing this, Qingyuan squatted down, stroked Eevee's fur, and said to Taiyi.

"What do you know? The brothers all want Eevee to evolve into the form they want!"

"But I don't want Eevee to evolve into that form. Eevee is fine as it is!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Taiyi squatted down, hugging his knees.

Looking at Eevee sobbing at his feet, he spoke to Qingyuan.

"If you don't like it, then tell your brothers!"

"As older brothers, they certainly wouldn't want to see their younger brother in pain!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan patted Taiyi's head and said.

"But if I say I don't like Eevee evolving into their Pokémon form, they'll be really sad!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Taiyi looked at Eevee at his feet and said hesitantly.

"So you're going to force yourself to do things you don't want to do?"

"Make Eevee evolve into a form it doesn't like?"

"Ibuki trusts you a lot!"

Seeing Taiyi's expression, Qingyuan directly questioned him.

He had already realized that the main problem that was troubling Taiichi lay in Taiichi's personality.

Taiichi is too weak, and his brothers are quite assertive.

This led to a conflict between the older brothers regarding the Eevee's evolution.

Instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, he was thinking about how to escape it.

Taiyi's next words further confirmed Qingyuan's suspicions.

"So all we have to do is avoid this carnival!"

"If we can avoid this carnival, we can prevent Eevee from evolving!"

Taiyi held Eevee in his arms and said to Qingyuan with a determined look on his face.

"Foolish! If there's one garden party, can't there be a second one?"

"If you don't want Eevee to evolve, you should explain the situation to your brothers!"

"Instead of just trying to escape here, because escaping won't solve anything!"

"It will only make you betray Ibrahimovic's trust in you!"

Upon hearing Taiyi's words, Qingyuan angrily reprimanded Taiyi.

He was truly exasperated; how could such a perfectly normal child be so stubborn?

She didn't even have the courage to tell her brothers what she was thinking.

"Ge Lei! (A real man should have the ability to shoulder responsibilities!)"

Seeing this, Scorpion King touched his pincers and said Qingyuan's famous saying to Taiyi.

However, Taiyi couldn't understand Scorpion King's words, so he only heard Scorpion King shout once.

Qingyuan stood to the side, looking somewhat embarrassed.

It's quite embarrassing to have your own spirit call out something you once said.

"Taiyi, I've finally found you!"

"The park event is about to start, why are you running around like that!"

"This is practically hindering Eevee's evolution into a powerful Jolteon!"

Just then, Taiichi's older brother, Raizo, with blond hair, suddenly appeared at the corner of the alley and shouted at Taiichi.

Upon hearing Raizo's words, Taiichi panicked instantly.

They quickly put Ibu on the ground.

"Ibu, hurry up and go! Come back after the carnival is over! Hurry up and go!"

Seeing Raizo walking towards him, Taichi desperately shoved Ibu away.

"What are you doing, Taiichi!"

"Stop wasting any more time!"

Although Raizo couldn't see what Taiichi was doing because of the lighting, he didn't see it.

However, his desire for his younger brother's Eevee to evolve into Jolteon made him quicken his pace.
