Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 486 Battle against Zapdos! (Bonus chapter for Lord Xue Qinghe!)

"Greek!"

With a roar, the Scorpion King appeared on the battlefield with a serious expression.

Qingyuan had already told it about today's opponent three days ago.

According to Qingyuan's guess, Zapdos' strength is probably above level 75.

Even though it is a Ground/Flying type, Zapdos is an Electric/Flying type, so it is immune to most of Zapdos' Electric-type moves.

However, for Gliscor, Zapdos is still the most powerful opponent it has encountered in a long time.

"The Scorpion King uses a sharp stone attack!"

Seeing the situation on the field, Qingyuan did not hesitate at all and directly gave loud commands to Scorpion King.

They've taken the initiative in this match!

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King roared and then quickly condensed fist-sized sharp stones around its body, which it then shot towards Zapdos.

"Fura!"

Despite the sharp rocks hurtling towards it, Zapdos did not surrender.

A pale pink light flashed across its body, and it used high-speed movement to dodge the Scorpion King's sharp stone attack.

"We also use high-speed movement to intercept rockfalls!"

Seeing Zapdos take off using high-speed movement, Qingyuan was not careless at all. He immediately waved his hand and quickly gave Gliscor a command.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King let out a shout, and then a pale pink light shone from its body as it swiftly moved across the battlefield.

Of course, while moving, it didn't forget to gather sharp stones for an attack on Zapdos.

"Fura!"

Zapdos cried out as it saw the sharp stone hurtling towards it.

He moved swiftly to dodge it.

Then, he raised his voice again towards the sky, and dark clouds quickly gathered in the battlefield.

"Bah!"

As a raindrop slowly fell, a torrential downpour soon began on the battlefield.

"Greek!"

Feeling the rain soaking his body, the Scorpion King moved his pincers uncomfortably.

Although Qingyuan usually gave it and the Charizard a lot of special training in water.

However, their deep-seated aversion to water is something they can't change overnight, which means that even though the Scorpio King can accept soaking in hot springs...

However, I still feel somewhat uncomfortable when I get caught in the rain.

"Fura!"

Meanwhile, Zapdos in the air watched as Gliscor twitched its pincers uncomfortably and let out a smug cry.

After all, it deliberately created this rainwater to treat Scorpion King, and it wouldn't be happy if Scorpion King wasn't comfortable.

"Fura!"

Ignoring Gliscor's discomfort with the rain, Zapdos cried out again.

Then he fired a thunderbolt directly at Scorpion King.

"The Scorpion King used its metal claws to shove it into the ground!"

Seeing the thick lightning bolt rapidly attacking the Scorpion King, Qingyuan hurriedly shouted commands to the Scorpion King.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King did not hesitate at all. It immediately turned its pincers silver-white and plunged them into the earth.

"boom!"

A loud, booming thunderclap struck the Scorpion King.

Under the influence of thunder, the Scorpion King was electrified, emitting a dazzling yellow light.

"Greek!"

Zapdos truly lives up to its reputation as a divine bird that controls lightning; this thunderbolt lasted for more than five seconds before it finally stopped.

The raindrops on Scorpio King's body were dried by the thunder.

However, due to the rain everywhere on the battlefield, Scorpion King was able to insert his metal pincers into the ground to trigger lightning.

However, due to the conduction of water, it was still injured by Zapdos's thunder.

However, the injury was not serious. Under the healing effect of the Scorpion King's poison, it was completely healed in just five seconds.

However, the feeling of being injured by lightning for the first time was still somewhat novel for Scorpio King.

"Scorpion King uses Swallow Return!"

Seeing the Scorpion King fully recovered, Qingyuan immediately spoke again, loudly commanding it.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King took off and swiftly crashed into Zapdos.

"Fura!"

Zapdos, however, showed no panic as it watched Gliscor rush towards it.

It simply silently controlled its beak to light up with white light, rotating and elongating.

Throughout its long life, it encountered countless mortal enemies, the Three Holy Birds, who used this move.

When they use this move, they don't directly collide with their opponent.

Instead, it will rush towards you with great momentum, attracting your attention, and then spin around, attacking you directly from behind.

Zapdos had already figured out how to deal with this move.

"Greek!"

Watching the Zapdos, which was already prepared to spin its neck and attack its back.

Scorpion simply flipped over in mid-air and then crashed headfirst into Zapdos.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Gliscor's Aerial Ace successfully collided with Zapdos.

Zapdos remained completely bewildered until it was hit.

What the heck? We've all been using this for so many years, how come this one suddenly comes out that doesn't follow the rules?

"Grab it and use Frozen Teeth!"

Qingyuan looked at the Gliscor that had crashed into Zapdos and landed with it, and hurriedly shouted loudly at the Gliscor.

"Greek!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King, who was still a little dizzy from bumping into the bird backwards, quickly shook his head to come back to his senses.

The two large pincers reached out and grabbed Zapdos, controlling its two wings.

"Fura!"

Zapdos wasn't going to be outdone either, and it looked at Gliscor, which was holding it.

The pecking motion it had used to defend against the Scorpion King's Swallow Return attack went straight for the Scorpion King.

"Greek!"

As the pecking drill struck his shoulder, the Scorpion King let out a scream.

However, Scorpio King is the kind of guy who would never suffer a loss easily.

Zapdos's pecking attack directly triggered Gliscor's ferocity.

Ignoring the fact that its right arm had been struck by Zapdos's Drill Beak, it quickly gathered Ice-type energy in its mouth and then bit at Zapdos's shoulder.

"Fura!"

After Zapdos let out a miserable cry as it was bitten by Gliscor's Frozen Fang, it immediately began to peck at Gliscor with even greater ferocity.

"Greek!"

Gliscor was no pushover either. It turned its left pincers purple and swiftly swung its Poison Slash at Zapdos's head.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the two weapons that were fighting in the air crashed straight into the ground, splashing a lot of water and affecting Qingyuan's vision!
