Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 360 Arrival at the Quartz Plateau!

"Well then, Professor Oak, I'll be going now!"

"Ash, I'll be waiting for you at the Indigo League!"

In the backyard of Professor Oak's lab, Qingyuan sat on the back of Charizard, waving and shouting loudly at Professor Oak and Ash.

Today is two days before the start of the Quartz Convention, and the opening ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow.

Originally, I planned to go to the Indigo League with Ash.

Because of a phone call from Qiao Yiran, they decided to arrive at Quartz Plateau a day earlier.

"Hey, Qingyuan, just you wait, I'll definitely win the Quartz Tournament!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Ash, with Pikachu perched on his shoulder, waved at Qingyuan and shouted loudly.

"Haha, that's quite ambitious, Ash!"

"But I've already secured the victory in this Quartz Conference, so you'll have to wait until next time!"

Upon hearing Xiao Zhi's words, Qing Yuan laughed twice and said to Xiao Zhi.

He just loved Ash's boastful manner. But unfortunately, even without him, Ash wouldn't have been able to win the Indigo League.

So let's just say the quartz convention championship will still go to him!

See you at the Quartz Plateau!

Qingyuan greeted Ash and Professor Oak again and patted Charizard's neck.

He then rode the fire-breathing dragon head and flew towards the Quartz Plateau without looking back.

……

After more than three hours of flight, Qingyuan finally arrived at the Quartz Plateau.

There were a lot of people on the Quartz Plateau, probably because the Quartz Conference was about to be held.

Looking down from high above, Qingyuan felt as if what lay below was not a quartz plateau, but a black ocean.

"Hello, trainers ahead, please stop and show your identification!"

Just as Qingyuan was sitting on the back of the Charizard observing the situation of the Quartz Plateau below.

A voice suddenly entered his ears.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan quickly patted the fire-breathing dragon beneath him to make it stop.

Then he looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A man dressed in an Interpol uniform was sitting on the back of a Pied Eagle, waiting for him in front of him.

"Hello, this is my identification!"

Looking at the Interpol officer in front of him, Qingyuan spurred his fire-breathing dragon to fly in front of the Interpol officer and handed him his identification.

"Hello, esteemed Investigator Qingyuan, the Quartz Plateau is about to host the Quartz Conference!"

"In order to maintain public order, an air ban will be implemented for two weeks!"

"Please land on the Quartz Plateau. Thank you for your cooperation!"

After glancing at Qingyuan's investigator's badge, the Interpol officer immediately saluted him.

Then, while returning the documents to Qingyuan with both hands, he said to Qingyuan.

The rewards for his last wipeout of the Hunter K organization have been distributed, including most of the rare resources.

Unsurprisingly, he was promoted one level in the league.

He is now a special investigator for the alliance and can command eight Interpol agents to help him complete his missions at any time.

"Thank you, hard work!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan returned the greeting with a salute before taking his identification and speaking.

"Thank you for your concern, and I wish you great success at the Quartz Conference!"

Seeing Qingyuan's actions, the Interpol officers quickly saluted him again.

"Thank you for your kind words, goodbye!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan waved to the other party and then commanded Charizard to descend towards the Quartz Stadium below.

The main venue for the Quartz Games is located at the Quartz Stadium.

This is a good opportunity for him to observe the venue for his upcoming match in a few days.

"You've worked hard, Charizard. Come back and rest for a bit!"

After landing on the Quartz Plateau, Qingyuan said something to the Charizard.

He then took out a Poké Ball and put it away.

"Brother Qingyuan!"

Just as Qingyuan put away the Charizard's Poké Ball, he turned around and heard a familiar voice.

Following the sound, they indeed spotted the Xia family's purple-haired brother and sister.

Good afternoon, Shana, Xia Qiu!

Looking at the purple-haired brother and sister in front of him, Qingyuan waved to them with a smile.

"You've finally arrived, Qingyuan! You should have come any later!"

"I'm about to lose!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Shana excitedly ran to Qingyuan's side and said to him.

"What did you mean, 'lost'?"

Hearing this, Qingyuan looked puzzled. It seemed that Xia Na had used him and his brother as a bet.

“I bet my brother you’ll make it today, and you’ll come straight to the Quartz Stadium just like he did!”

"If I win, my brother will buy me five ice creams!"

"That's five ice creams!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Shana quickly held up five fingers to explain.

"Oh, I see. Well, Shana, you guessed pretty accurately!"

"Although ice cream is delicious, don't overindulge!"

"Otherwise, your little belly won't let you off the hook!"

Hearing this, Qingyuan smiled and patted Shana's head.

"No way!"

Sensing Qingyuan's movement, Xia Na shook off Qingyuan's hand and hid behind Xia Qiu.

Good afternoon, Qingyuan!

Seeing Qingyuan's gaze, Xia Qiu nodded to Qingyuan and said.

He's a bit aloof, or rather, aloof and socially awkward, so he's not very good at communicating with people.

Fortunately, Qingyuan knew Xia Qiu's personality, so he didn't mind.

Good afternoon, Xia Qiu!

Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, Qing Yuan greeted her with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Qingyuan, where's Xiaodaidai?"

Just then, Shana fixed her hair and peeked out from behind Xia Qiu, asking Qing Yuan a question.

"It's inside my Poké Ball, but Slowpoke has changed quite a bit!"

"You probably wouldn't even recognize it!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately smiled and said to Shana.

"Has it evolved?"

Upon hearing this, Shana immediately asked Qingyuan with an excited expression.

"Xiao Na!"

Hearing this, Xia Qiu patted Shana's head with some displeasure.

The Quartz Conference is about to begin, and he and Qingyuan are rivals.

As rivals, every Pokémon in the team is a secret.

Now that Shana is asking these questions, isn't that the same as helping him gather information about his opponents?

Moreover, they used underhanded tactics like acting cute and charming.

Xia Qiu is a gentleman; he absolutely cannot resort to such underhanded tactics.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, Xia Na immediately responded with an "oh".

Somewhat embarrassed, she stuck out her tongue at Qingyuan before hiding back behind Xia Qiu.

"I'm sorry, Qingyuan, Xiaona was a bit immature. I apologize on her behalf!"

Looking at Qingyuan in front of him, Xia Qiu cupped his hands and said to Qingyuan.
