Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 67 Qiao Yiran's Friendship

After returning to the waiting area and sitting down, Qingyuan began to think about his next plan.

With two injured members in the team, it's definitely impossible for him to continue the trip as originally planned.

We need to let the Scyther and the others recover from their injuries first.

Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to have two sick people in the team no matter what.

Moreover, instead of going through the trouble of taking a sick person on a trip, it would be better to stay in Konoha City for a few days.

This is a perfect opportunity for a week-long intensive training program.

"Qingyuan, come here for a second!"

Just as Qingyuan was thinking about how to conduct the special training, Qiao Yiran stood in front of the counter and called out to him, asking him to come over.

Qingyuan thought that something had happened to the Scyther again, so he quickly ran over.

"What's wrong, Sister Ran? Did something happen to Scyther?"

Qingyuan ran to the counter and hurriedly asked Qiao Yiran.

"Don't worry, Scyther is doing very well. I just spoke with Aying yesterday and told her that you've come to Vermilion City!"

"She wanted to say a few words to you, but you were sleeping yesterday, so it didn't happen!"

"That's why they called again today, wanting to talk to you!"

While talking about Qiao Yiran, he took out a portable communication device from the counter.

"No, no, my sister is just making things up. I just wanted to ask how A-Yuan's trip was going!"

Qiao Yiying's figure was projected onto the camera of the communication device, and she said to Qingyuan somewhat shyly.

Qiao Yiran curled her lip in disdain after hearing this.

Qingyuan scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said...

"Good afternoon, Xiaoying. How's the Pokémon Center doing?"

Although he intervened in time, the Viridian City Pokémon Center was spared the massive destruction depicted in the anime.

However, the unconventional Team Rocket trio still caused considerable damage to the Pokémon Center.

The glass in the lobby, the counters, and the tables and chairs he damaged during his battle with the Rockets trio.

These all need to be rebuilt afterwards.

"It's all restored. The repair team sent by the Alliance arrived the day after you left."

"They work very efficiently; they fixed the Pokémon Center in half a day!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's question, Qiao Yiying replied to Qingyuan very seriously.

"I see..."

Seeing Qingyuan and Qiao Yiying chatting happily, Qiao Yiran tactfully left the counter.

The space was left to Qingyuan and Qiao Yiying.

Qingyuan and Qiao Yiying chatted for more than half an hour.

The call ended when a seriously injured Pokémon arrived at the Viridian City Pokémon Center.

Here you go!

As Qiao Yiran watched Qingyuan end the call, she handed him a blue mobile communication device while speaking.

"This is?"

Looking at the communication device in Qiao Yiran's hand, Qingyuan did not take it, but instead asked a question with some doubt.

After all, this thing isn't cheap; it costs 200,000 Alliance Coins per unit at Silver Company.

With another 100,000 Alliance Coins, you could buy a Mud Shot skill disc.

"Just take it when I tell you to, and stop talking!"

Seeing Qingyuan's puzzled expression, Qiao Yiran grabbed Qingyuan's hand and slapped the communication device into his hand.

"hiss!"

Feeling the force of the communication device hitting his hand, Qingyuan gasped.

As expected of the two most magical families in the elf world, the Joy family.

That level of strength is almost on par with that of a true newbie.

Seeing Qingyuan take the communication device, Qiao Yiran continued speaking.

"I've written down Xiaoying's, Xiaoqi's, and my contact information here. If you have any medical problems, please contact Xiaoying!"

"If there's anything you can't handle, contact Xiaoqi. I've taken care of everything!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan was shocked. Was this something that could be said in public?

Seeing Qingyuan's shocked expression, Qiao Yiran realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends.

"No, what I mean is, I've already talked to Xiaoqi, and she'll help you if you get into trouble..."

After saying that, she felt even more uneasy.

In the end, to avoid making things worse, she simply waved her hand and said...

"Never mind, just remember to contact Xiaoqi if you encounter any trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! No, Ran-jie, why did you suddenly decide to give me this?"

Qingyuan asked Qiao Yiran with a smile.

"This is to thank you for helping Xiaoying. Just consider it a token of my friendship!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiran gave her answer with a proud expression.

"Then I'll thank you, Sister Ran, for the communication equipment!"

Qingyuan smiled and complimented Qiao Yiran.

"It's nothing, alright, I'm going to get busy now, you can figure it out yourself!"

Qiao Yiran waved her hand in response to Qingyuan's words.

After saying that, she left the counter and walked towards the treatment room.

Qingyuan looked at Qiao Yiran's back and then at the blue communication device in his hand, and couldn't help but think to himself.

"I never knew Sister Ran was a rich woman!"

This communication device functions similarly to the mobile phone in Qingyuan's previous life.

It allows people to break free from the fixed communication devices at the Phantom Center and contact others anytime, anywhere.

While mobile devices are indeed much more convenient than fixed ones.

But based on this one advantage alone, it sells for 200,000 Alliance Coins.

Qingyuan felt it was a bit of a waste. Wouldn't it have been better to use that money to buy some tree fruits that would increase the resistance of the Scorpion and the others?

Why would he need to buy mobile communication equipment? Besides, who else could he contact?

Thinking of this, Qingyuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In his previous life, he was alone, and now in his second life, he is still alone.

"I guess I'm still not good at socializing!"

With a sigh, Qingyuan took his communication equipment and returned to the waiting area to continue waiting.

After waiting in the waiting area for about five minutes, Qiao Yiran returned to the counter carrying the tray containing the Poké Balls of Gliscor and the others.

"Qingyuan Trainer, your Pokémon have all recovered. Please proceed to the counter to collect them!"

Hearing the broadcast, Qingyuan quickly got up and went to the counter.

"The flying mantis is fine now. Give it plenty of nutrition these next few days, and it might even grow a lot bigger!"

"Remember, don't let the Scyther engage in any strenuous exercise for the next three days!"

Looking at Qingyuan in front of the counter, Qiao Yiran gave him some instructions.

"Okay, I will definitely follow the doctor's orders!"

Upon hearing Qiao Yiran's words, Qingyuan replied with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Qiao Yiran nodded and handed him the Poké Balls of the Gliscor and the others.

"By the way, did you get the orange badge?"

After handing the Poké Ball to Qingyuan, Qiao Yiran put away the tray and suddenly asked as if she remembered something.

"Got it, so what?"

Hearing this, Qingyuan asked with some confusion.

"It's alright, as long as you got it. Scyther was badly injured, I thought you hadn't gotten it!"

Wishing you great success at the Quartz Conference!

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiran smiled and replied.

"Thank you for your kind words, Sister Ran!"
