Chapter 14 Arrival in Nibi City!
Chapter 14 Arrival in Nibi City!
After a moment of excitement, Qingyuan put down Scorpion and ran to pick up Scyther's Poké Ball.
"Haha, come out, Scyther!"
Qingyuan laughed twice, then pressed the button on the Poké Ball and released Scyther.
"Sha!"
With a flash of red light, the wounded and poisoned Scyther appeared before Qingyuan.
Seeing the flying mantis shimmering with a purple light, Qingyuan quickly rummaged through his backpack and took out the antidote, feeding it to the mantis.
Although the Poké Ball has a healing spray that can slightly heal an injured Pokémon.
However, the Poké Ball doesn't come with an antidote, so Qingyuan had to use the antidote on Scyther.
He hadn't expected Scyther to be so unlucky; this was the first time Gliscor's Cross Venom had poisoned a Pokémon.
After treating the injuries of Scorpion and Scyther and exchanging greetings, Qingyuan recalled Scyther.
He then had the scorpion fly onto his shoulder and continued walking forward.
After instructing Scorpion to warn him about obstacles, Qingyuan checked the Scyther's information panel as he walked.
The mantis's head is reptilian in shape, with three separate horns. Its large, scythe-like arms are as sharp as divine weapons. It has two pairs of small wings, but only uses them for flight on rare occasions. Its thighs are covered with sharp, spiky edges, and each leg has three toes with sharp claws. The female mantis has a larger abdomen. (Illustrated description, not included in the main text.)

This flying mantis was actually level 19, which Qingyuan hadn't expected.
At first, he just thought that Scyther had more combat experience, which was why Scorpion was having such a hard time.
Unexpectedly, the Scyther not only has more combat experience than the Scorpion, but its level is also higher.
He remarked on how difficult it was to defeat this flying mantis.
Apart from that, the development comparison is only average, which is still expected, after all, the living conditions in the wild are harsh.
If Qingyuan trains them well, I believe the development of the Scyther will soon improve to a good level.
Furthermore, Scyther has two inherited skills, which is a pleasant surprise.
He originally thought that having one would be good enough, but not having one would be acceptable, because Scyther is very strong in the early game and can help him develop quickly.
Of course, once he's fully developed, if Scyther really can't keep up with the team, he can retire and go back to playing.
Having arrived in the world of elves, he had no intention of simply catching a few elves.
Surprisingly, Scyther has two inherited skills, and Scizor even has Mega Evolution. This means Scyther shouldn't fall behind in the future.
This made Qingyuan, who was already happy, even happier.
……
Nibi City.
This rocky city is also known as Dark Grey City because of the color of its rocks.
Because of the Pewter Dojo, this city is quite famous throughout the Kanto region.
Pewter Gym, as one of the most suitable gyms for beginners in the Kanto region, attracts many trainers every day to challenge it.
Because of the large number of trainers coming and going, Pewter City began to vigorously develop its tourism industry, leading to the rise of the Pewter City Museum.
After traveling for a day and a night, Qingyuan finally arrived here the next morning.
Looking at the dark gray city before him, Qingyuan looked utterly exhausted.
He glanced at the equally exhausted Scorpion and Scyther beside him and immediately decided to go to the Pokémon Center to catch up on some sleep first.
Because it was his first time camping in the wild, Qingyuan didn't sleep well last night. He would wake up immediately at the slightest sound.
Because of Qingyuan's commotion, the Scyther and Scorpion only dared to remain in a light sleep all night.
However, this camping trip wasn't all bad for Qingyuan and his friends, as it frequently disturbed Scyther and Scorpion.
Although it made them very irritable, it also helped Qingyuan quickly become familiar with the flying mantises.
Even Scorpio's feelings for Scythe quickly intensified after spending the whole night with him.
After just one night, they had already reached the point where they could put their arms around each other's shoulders.
Qingyuan recalled Scorpion and Scyther into their Poké Balls and headed towards the Pokémon Center in Pewter City.
"Hello, Miss Nurse Joy, please heal my Pokémon and, while you're at it, open a single-room apartment at the Pokémon Center for me!"
As Qingyuan spoke, he handed the tray containing four Poké Balls to Nurse Joy in front of the counter.
"Okay, please give me your identification so I can register you!"
Miss Joey took the tray and smiled at Qingyuan.
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan quickly flipped through the Pokédex and handed it to Joy.
"Are you Qingyuan?"
To everyone's surprise, Joey exclaimed in shock the moment she glanced at Qingyuan's information.
"Ah...yes, I'm Qingyuan!"
"Is something wrong, Miss Joey?"
Hearing what Joey said, Qingyuan was a little confused. Had he done something bad?
Why is Joey reacting so strongly?
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Joey realized that her reaction had been a bit too intense and quickly explained.
"No...no! It's nothing, my cousin just mentioned you!"
"And your reward will be issued to you by one of these cities!"
Hearing Joey's words, Qingyuan's already confused mind became even more bewildered.
"Cousin?"
"My name is Qiao Yiyuan, and my cousin is Qiao Yi, Qiao Yiying from Changpan City. She mentioned you to me!"
Looking at the disheveled Qingyuan in front of her, Qiao Yiyuan covered her mouth and laughed.
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan suddenly remembered that all the Joeys in the world were relatives.
"Sigh! Not getting enough sleep really does affect my IQ!"
Qingyuan pounded his head and complained before looking up and asking.
"Then, Sister Yuan, what is this reward?"
"As for the reward, it's an encouragement and reward from the League for your brave protection of the Viridian City Pokémon Center!"
"The specific rewards should have been sent to your Pokémon Pokédex, didn't you check?"
Hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiyuan said with some doubt.
"Hey! I was so busy beating up the brat and catching the mantises that I forgot about something so important!"
Hearing Qiao Yiyuan's words, Qingyuan thought to himself.
It's worth noting that the reason he stood up against Team Rocket was partly because he didn't want the Pokémon Center explosion to endanger his health.
On the other hand, they were hoping to receive league rewards.
I never expected that I would be so excited by the skill CD that I would only think about finding a good task to make money.
Later, I encountered that bratty kid again, and then I met the flying mantis.
One thing after another caused him to completely forget about the league's rewards.
"Hehe, I was so excited to find a great partner that I forgot to check!"
"Sister Na Yuan, do you know what rewards the Alliance gave me?"
After figuring everything out, Qingyuan raised his head and asked Qiao Yiyuan with a slightly obsequious tone.
