Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 268 Super Evolution Stone!

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Charizard immediately showed a satisfied expression.

As long as what you dig up isn't fossilized feces, it's fine.

Now it won't be mocked by that Scorpion King guy anymore; maybe it can even show off to Scorpion King.

"If we're really going to rank them, this is actually the real fossilized feces!"

Looking at Qingyuan and Charizard with smiles on their faces.

The shrewd man took out an irregularly shaped fossil and said to Qingyuan.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan looked toward the fossilized feces in his hand.

With just one glance, Qingyuan felt a jolt in his heart.

In the center of the fossilized feces was a transparent stone with a strange pattern.

"Mega Stone!"

The moment Qingyuan saw the stone, he couldn't help but think in shock.

He never expected that a Mega Stone would be unearthed in this Big Fool Valley.

"May I take a look?"

Looking at the fossil in the man's hand, Qingyuan pretended to be curious and asked the man.

"Of course you can! It's just a fossilized piece of feces, what's wrong with looking at it!"

"Actually, this fossilized feces is worthless!"

"I just thought the stone inlaid on it was pretty!"

"That's why I kept it as a keepsake!"

"If you encounter someone trying to sell you fossilized feces later, don't fall for it! That stuff is worthless!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the man nonchalantly handed the fossilized feces in his hand to Qingyuan.

At the same time, he didn't forget to give Qingyuan some instructions.

To prevent Qingyuan from being deceived by those cunning fellows in Da Sha Valley.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan paused for a moment, then reached out and took the fossil.

After confidently examining it in his hand and confirming that it was indeed the Mega Stone that could evolve a specific Pokémon, he then proceeded to examine it.

Qingyuan looked up and asked the man with a curious expression.

"Are there still people in this 'Big Fool Valley' who use fossilized feces to fool others?"

Upon hearing this, the man immediately began to explain to Qingyuan.

Yes, the world is full of wonders!

"Those guys couldn't find any valuable fossils themselves, so they started to have crooked ideas and set their sights on those who passed by and knew nothing about it!"

"They collected those fossilized feces, polished them, and shaped them into the form of elf fossils!"

"Then they sell it at a so-called low price to those clueless greenhorns who know nothing!"

"In reality, those fossilized feces are worthless!"

"You'd better be careful, don't get scammed!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan nodded thoughtfully.

"That's it!"

"Come here, Charizard, take a look at this thing and get to know this fossilized feces!"

After examining the fossilized feces in his hand, Qingyuan handed it to the fire-breathing dragon.

"Take a good feel for whether there is any special energy inside this stone!"

When Charizard came to pick him up, Qingyuan whispered some instructions to it.

"Hoo! (Understood!)"

Upon hearing this, Charizard's eyes lit up, and it called out to Qingyuan before taking the fossilized feces and examining it closely.

As one of only three Pokémon in the team to start practicing energy control.

Qingyuan was very confident in Charizard.

While Charizard was inspecting the dragon, Qingyuan chatted with the man on the spot.

Through conversation, Qingyuan learned that the man was a junior employee of the Silver Company in town.

He and his wife have a son and a daughter.

My daughter got accepted into a prestigious nurturing university in Rainbow City, although it's not Rainbow University.

But for their family, it was a stroke of good luck, bringing honor to their ancestors.

As for his son, his future plan is for him to become a trainer.

He was worried about his son's annual taxes. To support his son's dream, and having no other income, he thought he would come here on weekends to try digging for fossils to supplement the family income.

However, although he recognized many fossils, his luck was clearly not very good.

I've been here dozens of times, but I've never dug up a single valuable fossil.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan nodded, already having some thoughts in mind.

"Roar! (I can feel it!)"

Just then, Charizard called out to Qingyuan.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan excused himself to the man and walked towards the Charizard.

"What's wrong? Charizard!"

Looking at the fire-breathing dragon holding the fossil, Qingyuan asked with a puzzled expression.

Of course, he was doing this to mislead the man next to him.

"Roar! (There are three special energies here, one is somewhat similar to the flying-type energy on my body, and another is somewhat similar to the energy on the armored rhinoceros!)"

"Roar! (As for the remaining one, I can't sense it, but neither the Armored Rhino nor I should be able to use it!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Charizard explained to Qingyuan in detail all the information it had gleaned from the stone.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan probably guessed whose evolution stone it was.

"Alright, alright, I know you didn't dig up a fossilized feces!"

After acting out the scene again, he offered a comforting remark to the Charizard.

Qingyuan then took the fossilized feces and returned to the man.

"Well then, brother, I think we're quite compatible, and you're a very kind person!"

"I think this stone is quite beautiful. How about I offer 200,000 Alliance Coins to buy it?"

Looking at the man in front of him, Qingyuan held up the fossilized feces and said to him.

"No, this can't be allowed!"

"This fossilized feces isn't worth anything, and this stone is only nice to look at but has no other use. How can I take your money?"

"If you like it, you can take this stone; you don't need to pay me!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the man immediately spoke to Qingyuan with some anger.

He was just telling Qingyuan that he hates people who use fossilized feces to scam money.

Turning his head, Qingyuan was about to use money to buy this fossilized piece of feces.

Isn't this a slap in the face for him?

If he really accepted the money, his friends would gossip about him behind his back.

No, I would rather die than do such a thing!

Looking at the somewhat angry man in front of him, Qingyuan was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Considering his stubbornness, this person in front of me can truly be considered a traditional good person.

Of course, if he weren't a good person, Qingyuan wouldn't have paid this guy such a high price.

If this guy were a cunning villain, he wouldn't need to go to such lengths.

They simply had Charizard knock him out, took the Mega Stone, and left.

But he can't be so rough with good people.

"Brother, here you go, just take it!"

"First of all, I really like this stone; it's so beautiful!"

"And another thing, if you hadn't spoken up to explain, I would have thrown that ammonite fossil away!"

"Consider this the money I used to buy the ammonite fossil!"

"Besides, our nephew is eight years old now, and he'll be going on a trip in two years!"

"Take this money and pay the child's taxes. We can't let the child suffer!"

Looking at the man in front of him, Qingyuan stuffed the money into his hand and earnestly tried to persuade him.
