Chapter 16: Fascinating Strength!
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the little fire dragon stopped rubbing its eyes.
It placed its hands on its stomach and tilted its head to look at Qingyuan seriously.
Seeing this, Qingyuan straightened his posture, wanting to leave a good impression on the little fire dragon.
"Groo-wa! Groo-wa! Groo-wa!"
Looking at Qingyuan, who was sitting upright with a gentle expression, the little fire dragon suddenly clapped its hands happily and shouted as it clapped.
It seems quite satisfied with Qingyuan.
Qingyuan was relieved to see this, as he had thought he would have to use the same method to subdue the Scorpion again here.
The little dragon was happy for a while before stopping and coming to stand in front of Qingyuan.
"What's wrong, Charmander? Is something the matter?"
Seeing this, Qingyuan thought something had happened to the little fire dragon.
To his surprise, the little dragon stretched out its arms towards him, making a gesture as if it wanted a hug.
As soon as the pose was made, Qingyuan immediately understood and picked him up.
At the same time, he casually took out an energy cube that could accelerate growth from his pocket and fed it to the little dragon.
"As expected, the League really knows how to raise Pokémon. They can even raise a Charmander so gently!"
Looking at the little fire dragon chewing on an energy cube with a satisfied expression, Qingyuan couldn't help but think.
After establishing initial contact with Charmander, Qingyuan took out the Poké Ball he had just retrieved from Nurse Joy and released Gliscor and Scyther.
As for those two Spearow, they'll definitely have to be sold after choosing Charmander.
Therefore, I won't try to build any emotional connection or create any bonds, so as to avoid the heartbreak of selling myself later.
"Clatter! Clack?"
As soon as Scorpion emerged, it prepared to fly onto Qingyuan's shoulder, which had quickly become its exclusive seat.
But when it saw the little fire dragon in Qingyuan's arms, it immediately showed a sad expression and stretched out its pincers to question Qingyuan.
Seeing this, Qingyuan took out a few energy cubes and threw them to Scorpion, looking speechless.
Scorpio's expression changed immediately upon seeing the energy cube. After catching it, he generously waved his pincers at Charmander.
This is a way of saying that the spot is yours from now on, and I won't fight you for it.
"Sha?"
Scyther wasn't as dramatic as Scorpion; it remained aloof and stood in place, only asking Qingyuan a question with a puzzled look.
Seeing the mantis's expression, Scorpion quickly flew up and hooked its pincers around the mantis's neck.
"Giggle! (You can't do that, you're too green. You need to learn from me!)"
"Giggle! (You need to be a good actor so that Qingyuan will pull out something good!)"
Upon hearing Scorpion's words, Scyther recalled Scorpion's expression earlier and suddenly shivered.
"Sha! (Get out!)"
After cursing, it tried to pull the scorpion off itself, but when the scorpion heard the mantis's words, it hooked its arm around the mantis's neck and couldn't pull it off for a moment.
"Ahem! Scorpio, get serious!"
Just as Qingyuan was about to introduce Charmander in response to Scyther's question, he saw Gliscor's pincers wrapped around Scyther's neck.
The flying mantis was frantically scratching at it.
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion released Scyther's neck and stood solemnly beside Scyther with its tail.
Scyther rubbed his neck with the back of his blade, preparing to teach Scorpion a lesson next time.
Seeing that the two creatures were standing still, Qingyuan placed the little fire dragon on the floor and introduced it.
"This is Charmander, he'll be our partner from now on, let's all welcome him!"
After saying that, Qingyuan clapped his hands.
"Grumble gurgle!"
"Shh!"
Upon seeing Qingyuan's actions, Scorpion was the first to react and began clapping. Scyther also quickly joined in, welcoming Charmander's arrival.
Seeing the two enthusiastic older brothers, the little dragon walked towards Scorpio with a curious expression.
In its view, the shorter scorpion should be easier to approach than the tall, indifferent praying mantis next to it.
Who knew that as the little dragon approached it, Scorpion suddenly made a funny face.
Having been pampered since childhood and inexperienced in such matters, the little fire dragon immediately burst into tears.
Even while crying, Charmander still showed his pride as a descendant of dragons.
As it cried, it spat several mouthfuls of sparks at the scorpion.
Although the sparks didn't cause Scorpio any harm, Scorpio's face turned black as a result.
"Hahaha! You really deserve it, Scorpio!"
Qingyuan burst into laughter when he saw that only Scorpio's two eyes hadn't turned black yet.
Even the aloof Scyther, who had been maintaining a cool and dignified posture, burst into laughter upon seeing Scorpio's demeanor.
The room was instantly filled with laughter.
……
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Qingyuan walked out of the Pokémon Center, found a small shop on the roadside, bought a black robe and changed into it, and then went out and randomly found a small alley to walk into.
Looking at the group of blond-haired guys smoking in front of him, he tossed out a bundle of 1,000 Alliance Coins and said.
"Take me to the black market!"
The blond-haired leader picked up the money from the ground, looked at it, and said...
"not enough!"
Hearing this, Qingyuan frowned under his black robe. This afternoon, that commoner trainer clearly said that a thousand would be enough.
However, he suppressed his doubts and threw out two more bundles of paper.
Is that enough?
Yellow Hair picked up the two bundles of money from the ground, looked at them, and spoke again.
"It's still not enough!"
At the same time, the two blond-haired men beside him slowly moved their feet, blocking Qingyuan's retreat from two directions.
Upon seeing this, Qingyuan understood.
This guy thinks he's easy to bully and is planning to rob him!
Seeing this, Qingyuan did not hesitate and threw out another object.
Seeing this, the blond-haired man revealed a smug expression and prepared to bend down and pick it up.
But the moment the thing landed, it shot out a beam of light, and then a green mantis appeared before him.
Upon seeing this, the blond-haired man exclaimed in terror.
"You...you, you're a trainer?"
"Let's teach them a lesson with Scyther, as long as they don't die!"
Qingyuan had no intention of responding to him anymore. He had already figured it out: only by letting these scumbags know who was strong could they be made to understand human language.
"Sha!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scyther nodded and began to move.
In an instant, the blond-haired man in front of Qingyuan was slashed to the ground by the Flying Mantis.
Upon seeing this, the other two blond-haired men who were blocking Qingyuan's way quickly ran away.
But apart from Ash, who is a complete newbie, how many people can be faster than Pokémon?
Moreover, Scyther is much faster than ordinary Pokémon.
"Ah!" X2
With two screams rang out, the two blond-haired men immediately followed in the footsteps of the one who had just been killed.
Qingyuan looked at the three people lying on the ground in front of him, reached out and patted the head of the Flying Mantis.
"This is the taste of power, it's truly captivating!"
"My lord, I was wrong, my lord, please spare my life!"
The blond-haired leader, covered in blood, knelt before Qingyuan, holding up the three bundles of Alliance Coins that Qingyuan had just thrown, and pleaded.
"Take me to the black market."
Qingyuan glanced down at him, then casually took two bundles of Alliance Coins and said.
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the blond-haired man quickly replied.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll show you the way right away!"
