Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 86 The Evil Pink Hippo!

Qingyuan didn't have to wait long, about five or six minutes passed.

The crew member named Xiaoyu then used a megaphone to call out Qingyuan's name.

Upon seeing this, Qingyuan quickly went to the command post.

A few seconds later, Qingyuan's opponent, Xiaoxin, a boy with yellow hair and a spiky hairstyle, also arrived on the battlefield.

"Only one Pokémon can be used in this competition. If one side's Pokémon is unable to battle, the other side wins!"

"In addition, according to the requirements of this competition, any Pokémon weighing more than 50kg will be automatically disqualified!"

"These are the rules for this competition!"

Xiaoyu stood at the edge of the arena, loudly explaining the rules of the competition through a megaphone.

Qingyuan and Xiaoxin both nodded after hearing this.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu continued speaking.

"The match begins now!"

"Please release your Pokémon!"

Having said that, he was probably worried that Qingyuan and the others' Pokémon might accidentally injure him during the battle.

Xiaoyu subtly took a step back.

"Come on, Slowpoke, prepare for your first battle!"

Qingyuan threw Slowpoke's Poké Ball towards the center of the field with a backhand motion.

"Ya-dong!"

With a flash of red light, Slowpoke, with its adorable blank expression, made its entrance, accompanied by the dragon roar it learned from Charmeleon.

"Ah! How cute are their teeth!"

"I never thought Slowpoke could be so cute!"

"..."

Slowpoke's actions successfully stirred the hearts of some of the female passengers around it.

Hearing these words, Slowpoke, who had originally intended to intimidate the opponent with its imposing presence, now stood on the field looking completely bewildered.

What's going on? This plot isn't unfolding right.

The Charizard had told it that once it entered the arena, it would roar and be incredibly imposing, scaring everyone into silence.

What's with all these people next to it saying it's cute?

It's an evil pink hippopotamus, how can you call it cute?

"Hmph! Such a pink elf, it's obviously not a powerful elf!"

"He's even deliberately acting cute, what an evil pink hippo!"

"Go for it, Trumpet Sprout! Show everyone what true power is!"

"What kind of magic weapon should a real man use!"

Hearing that everyone's attention was drawn to Slowpoke, Xiao Xin looked resentful.

He threw his Poké Ball with a backhand motion, shouting that he would show everyone what a truly mighty Pokémon is.

"Sizzle!"

After Bellsprout appeared, it lived up to Xiao Xin's expectations and shouted at Slowpoke.

If you ignore its beady eyes, it might even have a bit of an imposing air about it.

But one look can ruin everything; the trumpet bud with its beady eyes sounds like it's just trying to be cute no matter how you call it.

Immediately, another wave of excited, girlish voices filled the room.

"What adorable little bean sprouts!"

"Really, look at its little bean-like eyes, they're so cute!"

"..."

Even Qingyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the trumpet-shaped sprout after listening to Xiaoxin's string of childish remarks.

Hearing the whispers around him, Xiao Xin couldn't help but shout.

"Damn it, can't you see how powerful the trumpet bud is?"

"I will prove that Bellsprout is the most powerful elf in the world!"

Upon hearing Xiao Xin's childish remark, those around him couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

"Xiao Xin is so cute!"

"They're just kids, after all!"

"..."

Hearing these words, Xiao Xin's face turned red with anger, but this was definitely not because Xiao Xin was embarrassed.

At this moment, he was angry because no one could see the imposing presence of the trumpet bud.

At the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart that he must defeat Qingyuan and Slowpoke.

Let's set the record straight for the powerful trumpet bud and let everyone see its might.

It's infuriating! When will that mighty trumpet bud finally stand up?

Slowpoke looked at Xiao Xin in the command position with eyes full of sympathy.

It truly knows all too well the pain that is unknown to the world.

So, considering he just boasted that he was an evil pink hippo, it will go easy on him a little later.

The trumpet-shaped bud has a yellow head that resembles a trumpet. Because the flower bud looks like a human face, it is privately referred to as some kind of legendary jacaranda. It has small black eyes and a pinkish rim around its mouth. Its hands are small green leaves, its legs are brown roots, and its body is a slightly thicker stem formed from the convergence of the roots.

After Qingyuan finished laughing, he decisively took out the Pokédex to collect information about Bellsprout.

Since we've come across this so easily, we might as well collect it.

Moreover, he was also stalling for time, allowing this kid to make the first move.

Otherwise, if word got out that he, Qingyuan, had to take the initiative even when dealing with a child, wouldn't he lose face?

Finally, after Qingyuan kept dawdling, Xiaoxin, that silly boy, finally realized what was going on.

With a wave of his hand, he shouted at the trumpet bud.

"Go, Trumpet Sprout! Show everyone your mighty form! Use Vine Whip!"

"Sizzle!"

Bellsprout yelled and instantly extended its arms, swinging them towards Slowpoke.

"Slowpoke, give them some face, use Psychic to block!"

"Then play with it for a while using a water gun!"

Seeing this, Qingyuan decided to give Xiaoxin, this fledgling trainer, a little face.

At the very least, you should let your opponent experience the joy of the battle.

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Slowpoke nodded knowingly.

In fact, Qingyuan's order coincided with its own thoughts.

It originally intended to give this person who called it the Evil Pink Hippo some face.

Let him lose more slowly. Now that Qingyuan has given this order, Slowpoke is doing it with even less pressure.

Seeing the vine whip flying towards it, Slowpoke pushed its little hand forward.

The trumpet bud's vine was immediately stuck, unable to move forward or backward, watching the trumpet bud trying to pull the vine away from its hand.

Slowpoke flicked its little hand, and Bellsprout's vine whip flew out.

To relieve the pressure, the slender trumpet bud involuntarily started spinning in circles.

Seeing this, Slowpoke pretended to be exerting all its strength and spat out a thin stream of water towards Bellsprout.

And then, that was it.

I don't know if Bellsprout spun around too much or if Slowpoke simply lacked battle experience.

The reason for not mastering the force of the water gun.

After Bellsprout was hit by Slowpoke's Water Gun, it immediately collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up, its eyes turning into circles.

"A trumpet bud!"

Watching Xiao Xin running towards the trumpet bud while crying.

Slowpoke looked at its hands, somewhat bewildered.

When did it become so powerful?

Shaking his head, Slowpoke was just about to apologize to Xiaoxin.

I'm sorry, I didn't expect you guys to be so weak. I defeated you all in one go.

But then they heard Xiao Xin shout through gritted teeth.

"Damn it, as expected of the evil pink hippo, its strength is actually so great!"

"It was my fault for not giving proper command. I'm sorry, General Trumpet Sprout!"

Upon hearing this, Slowpoke froze on the spot.

Why does it feel a little happy even when the other person is insulting it?

After being thoroughly scolded by Xiao Xin, the dazed beast decided not to apologize.

After all, the evil pink hippo has no reason to apologize.

Slowpoke let out a soft snort and turned to walk towards Qingyuan.

Come on, Qingyuan, come and welcome your evil pink hippo general!
