20demayo Chapter 11: Defeating Team Rocket's Trio!
Chapter 11: Defeating Team Rocket's Trio!
"Meow!"
Meow let out a miserable cry as it was slashed away by Scorpion's series of attacks.
Looking at the Team Rocket trio he had defeated, Qingyuan spoke slowly.
"It seems it's time to say goodbye. Scorpion, use the Cross Poison Blade!"
"Clatter!"
Scorpion raised his pincers and flew at low altitude, then slammed them into the Team Rocket trio.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, the three members of Team Rocket flew away like shooting stars.
"I will never let you get away with this, you brat!"
The Rockets' trio shouted in unison.
To this, Qingyuan simply smiled and waved in the direction the Team Rocket trio had left.
"Bye-bye, looking forward to seeing you again!"
After saying goodbye to Team Rocket, Qingyuan had Gliscor fly onto his shoulder and then carried Gliscor toward the Pokémon Center's treatment room.
When Qingyuan entered the treatment room, Nurse Joy, Ash, and Misty were operating a mechanical arm to place Poké Balls onto the Pokémon Teleporter.
Just then, the door to the treatment room opened, and all three of them looked anxiously toward the door.
When they saw that it was Qingyuan at the door, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qingyuan, you're here. What about those Team Rocket guys?"
Looking at Qingyuan at the door, Miss Joey asked expectantly.
"I managed to drive them away, just in time for my mission!"
Upon hearing Miss Joey's words, Qingyuan replied humbly.
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Joey visibly breathed a sigh of relief and slumped back in her seat, muttering to herself.
"This is wonderful!"
"Miss Joey!" X3
Seeing Joy collapse in her seat, Qingyuan and Xiaozhi cried out in concern and rushed forward to help her up.
"I'm fine, the Rockets were kicked out, and all the kids are safe!"
"This is all thanks to you, Trainer Qingyuan!"
Joey looked at Qingyuan seriously and said.
"I just did what I was supposed to do!"
Looking at the serious Joey, Qingyuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said.
……
In the early morning, Qingyuan woke up in the free accommodation provided by the Pokémon Center. After stretching vigorously, he got up and started washing up.
After washing up, Qingyuan packed his luggage and went to the dining area of the Elf Center with his backpack.
Good morning, Miss Joey!
"Good morning, Qingyuan. My name is Qiao Yiying. You can call me Aying or Xiaoying from now on!"
Qiao Yiying, holding her tray, looked at Qingyuan, who was about to line up to get his food, and said this.
Hearing this, Qingyuan was taken aback, then smiled and said.
"Xiaoying, you can call me Ayuan or Xiaoyuan from now on!"
Faced with Qiao Yiying's overtures, Qingyuan shrewdly accepted them without hesitation.
After all, he's from the Joey family, so that connection is there. You never know when you might need his help.
It's always good to make more friends.
"Ok!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiying nodded and responded softly.
"Good morning, Miss Joey, and Brother Yuan!"
"Good morning, Miss Joey, Qingyuan!"
Just as Qingyuan was preparing to find some topics to talk about and get closer to Qiao Yiying.
Two greetings immediately interrupted his thoughts.
He looked towards the direction the sound came from and saw Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia waving and greeting him and Qiao Yiying while carrying their trays.
Good morning, Ash and Misty!
How did you sleep last night?
Seeing this, Qingyuan smiled and responded to the two of them.
After what happened last night, the group quickly became familiar with each other, since they had all fought side by side.
"The beds at the fairy center are really nice and comfortable!"
"Brother Yuan, how about we have a Pokémon battle later?"
Xiao Zhi spoke to Qing Yuan with great enthusiasm.
Even last night, because the Pokémon Center was attacked, they helped clean up and take care of the injured Pokémon, and they didn't get to sleep until after 1 a.m.
But even so, it did not dampen Xiaozhi's spirit at all.
This perfectly matches the energetic Ash Ketchum from Qingyuan's previous life in the anime.
Upon hearing Xiaozhi's words, Qingyuan shook his head and politely declined.
"No, thank you. Your Pikachu is badly injured and needs to rest."
"Besides, I was planning to leave Tokiwa City this morning, and I'm running out of time!"
"How about this, when we meet again next time, let's have another battle between trainers!"
If Xiao Zhi had gone on a long journey and gradually gained more experience, then...
Qingyuan still had the idea of battling Xiaozhi.
But Ash, who has just formed a bond with Pikachu, is too inexperienced.
Moreover, he knows absolutely nothing about combat; he's just a complete brute.
Such a small amount of intelligence cannot arouse Qingyuan's interest in battle.
Upon hearing Qingyuan's earlier words, Xiaozhi was initially somewhat disappointed.
However, when he heard Qingyuan say that they would have a battle between trainers when they met again in the future, Xiaozhi's fighting spirit was immediately ignited.
"Alright! Brother Yuan, you wait, I'm definitely going to have a trainer battle with you!"
"Alright, alright! We'll talk about this later. Go get your food!"
"Oh! I know! Don't follow me!"
"Hmph! Let me tell you, if you don't return my bicycle, I'll follow you around like glue from today until you give it back!"
"Ah! No!"
Seeing Xiaozhi being pulled away by Xiaoxia, Qingyuan and Qiao Yiying couldn't help but laugh.
"Ah Yuan, are you leaving this morning?"
After laughing for a while, Qiao Yiying broke the silence first.
Hearing this, Qingyuan nodded and said.
"Yes, I want to challenge the Indigo League and I need to collect gym badges!"
"With my current strength, I can't beat the Viridian Gym anytime soon, so there's no point in staying in Viridian City any longer!"
"So I plan to set off quickly and head to Pewter City to challenge the Pewter City Gym!"
Hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiying nodded while biting her chopsticks.
"That's true, but you saved the Pokémon Center last night, so the League will definitely reward you. Remember to keep an eye on the Pokédex!"
Qingyuan was taken aback and stopped eating.
This was something he hadn't expected. He only made a move last night because he remembered that in the anime, it was Pikachu that ultimately defeated Team Rocket by using its special ability.
However, due to the encounter between lightning and gas, a massive explosion ultimately occurred at the Pokémon Center.
Qingyuan didn't know if he had the protagonist's halo, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive the explosion.
That's when he intervened and changed the course of the original story, and unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise at that moment.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on the Pokédex!"
Qingyuan nodded to Qiao Yiying, then lowered his head and continued eating.
"By the way, A-Yuan, have you signed up for the Quartz Conference?"
While eating, Qiao Yiying seemed to have thought of something and asked Qingyuan a question.
Qingyuan was taken aback when he heard this. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had forgotten to register for the Quartz Conference because he was so focused on submitting his mission.
At that moment, he could only awkwardly say to Qiao Yiying.
"I don't think I've registered yet, so I'll have to trouble you later, Ah Ying!"
"It's nothing, it's what I should do!"
Qiao Yiying mimicked Qingyuan's tone from last night and spoke to Qingyuan.
Qingyuan was taken aback, then he and Qiao Yiying exchanged a glance and burst into laughter at the same time.
"Hahahahaha!"
