Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 477 Tidal Power Plant!

"You're not planning to send me, are you?"

Looking at Qiao Yilan, who was looking at him with a worried expression, Qingyuan pointed at himself and said in disbelief.

He had just come out of Viridian Forest and hadn't even had time to change his clothes; he still looked like a beggar.

Joy Lan actually planned to have him solve the power plant's power generation problem.

"Please help me, Lord Qingyuan, the champion of the Quartz Tournament!"

"Neither Chansey nor I are very good at battling, so there's no point in us going!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yilan immediately spoke to Qingyuan in a coquettish manner.

"No way! I'd rather die than go! I've only just arrived in the city, and I haven't even had a proper rest yet!"

"I didn't even have time to change my clothes, how can you bear to let me go looking like this?"

However, Qingyuan was not swayed by Qiao Yilan's charms at all. He already had Qiao Yiying, and no amount of beauty could win him over.

"But no trainers have come to Black Cloud City for a long time. Even if I post a mission, there are no trainers to accept it!"

"I'm begging you, Lord Qingyuan!"

"As a high-ranking official in the Alliance, you surely wouldn't bear to see these elves who help the workers die!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yilan immediately put her hands together in front of Qingyuan and said.

"No, actually I can bear it!"

Looking at Qiao Yilan in front of him, Qingyuan really wanted to say this to her.

Unfortunately, she used the righteous cause to pressure herself.

As a high-ranking official in the alliance, failing to provide assistance in such a dire situation certainly does have a negative impact.

Moreover, the Zapdos feather and Moltres feather that he always wore seemed to move slightly.

After careful consideration, Qingyuan finally decided to go.

After all, those Zapdos and the like really like to steal electricity from power plants, they don't have any of the arrogance of legendary Pokémon.

"Alright, stop pretending. I'll take this mission!"

Looking at the pitiful-looking Qiao Yilan in front of him, Qingyuan waved his hand at her in an annoyed manner and said.

"Thank you so much! Here's a map showing the location of the power plant!"

"Once you've resolved this matter, I will definitely report it to the Alliance!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yilan, who had been looking pitiful, immediately found a map and spoke to Qingyuan.

"Come on, just stop trying to morally blackmail me!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan grabbed the map and said to Qiao Yilan in an annoyed tone.

What he hates most in his life is being morally blackmailed by others. If it weren't for this, he might have discovered Zapdos's whereabouts.

Qingyuan refused to go to the power plant no matter what; he was really playing moral blackmail with her.

It's time to let Joey Lan experience the harsh realities of society.

"hey-hey!"

Seeing Qingyuan giving her a cold shoulder, Qiao Yilan smiled obsequiously at him, not caring at all.

After all, she was the one who started this moral blackmail, so it's understandable that Qingyuan was annoyed with her.

Seeing Joy Blue's fawning manner, Qingyuan ignored her and picked up a Poké Ball from the counter.

They then left the Pokémon Center and headed towards the power plant.

"What kind of sins have I committed?!"

"I finally escaped from Viridian Forest, and I'm thinking of finding a place to rest properly!"

"And then this happened. Don't let me find out who did this, or they'll be in big trouble!"

On the way to the power plant, Qingyuan muttered through gritted teeth as he walked.

"And you two, of all times you had to light up!"

After muttering about the culprits that caused the power outage, Qingyuan picked up the two feathers at his waist and started blaming them again.

Qingyuan is now no different from a resentful woman.

Because he hasn't had a proper rest, he now feels like yelling at everyone he sees.

……

Because of tidal power generation, the power plant is not very far from the Pokémon Center.

Qingyuan walked for about four or five minutes before arriving at the gate of the power plant.

"Such a huge power plant, and I didn't even know someone was guarding it!"

"When the power goes out, they start looking for people to fix it again. If you had more people watching over it, would you really have to send someone over every time there's a power outage?"

"The power outage should have lasted longer, so the people of Black Cloud City would have learned their lesson!"

"Even sending a few weak individuals here to relay information would be helpful!"

Looking at the empty tidal power plant, Qingyuan shook his head and complained.

"Gyrocopter, Charizard, it's decided that you two are the best!"

Looking at the dark doorway in front of him, Qingyuan, feeling insecure, decisively threw out the Poké Balls of Gliscor and Charizard.

"Greek!"

"Roar!"

As two domineering roars rang out, Scorpion King and Charizard appeared beside Qingyuan, looking radiant.

Because Qingyuan traveled on foot in the Viridian Forest, and also because he wanted to train Zeraora and the others.

Qingyuan did not send out Scorpion King and Charizard to travel too far.

And every time it encounters Venusaur, Venusaur will restore all of them equally.

This resulted in Qingyuan and Zeraora being half-dead, while Gliscor and Charizard didn't actually lose much energy.

This can be seen from the fact that Scorpion carried Qingyuan all the way from the edge of the forest to the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

"Protect me!"

After giving the two instructions, Qingyuan turned on his flashlight and walked into the power plant.

"Greetings! (Don't worry about leaving it to me!)"

"Hoo! (Absolutely!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion King and Charizard patted their chests arrogantly and followed Qingyuan into the power plant.

Although the entire city of Black Cloud was without power, it was due to the tidal power plant.

There are still a few lights on in this factory.

But it would have been better if this light hadn't been on, because right now one light was on while three others weren't, making the whole environment exceptionally gloomy.

Even Qingyuan, who is fearless, couldn't help but call out Gengar and hug it.

Gengar, currently at level 60+, is more than capable of dealing with most Ghost-type Pokémon. Holding it in his arms, Qingyuan immediately felt a strong sense of security.

"Kou Jie!"

Meanwhile, the chubby, purplish-black boy being held in Qingyuan's arms was utterly speechless.

You're afraid of ghosts, yet you're holding me, this ghost, in your arms.

It was a little confused whether Qingyuan was afraid of ghosts or not.

"Kuoyi~"

Just as Qingyuan and his group ventured deep into the power plant, a shout suddenly rang out from within.

Having dealt with countless Pokémon, Qingyuan immediately recognized the Pokémon that made the sound as Magnemite.

"Come out and bring Zeraora!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he released Zeraora, a Pokémon immune to Electric-type moves, ready to reap the experience points.

Qingyuan quickened his pace and ran towards the direction from which the sound came.
