Chapter 21 Leaving Nibi City!
However, the only thing that puzzled Qingyuan was why Sakaki had already clearly explained the concept of "momentum".
It was even serialized in a newspaper for five years.
However, the outside world still knows very little about the concept of "momentum".
Thinking of this, Qingyuan immediately began searching for Giovanni's specific information in the Pokédex.
As the keywords were entered, a large number of posts about Giovanni quickly appeared like popcorn.
"Predict when the next Gym Leader Sakaki will open a Gym in Tokiwa City!"
"Gym Leader Giovanni is very strong, but I still managed to get the Green Badge (with picture!)"
……
Qingyuan glanced at the posts and realized that they were all recent posts.
Remembering that Sakaki's story was serialized in the newspaper for five years, I should at least look for posts from seven or eight years ago.
So Qingyuan frantically slid down, and hard work pays off.
Finally, five minutes later, Qingyuan successfully saw a post titled "On the Authenticity of Daichi Sakaki's Travelogue!"
Qingyuan carefully checked the date and found that it was a post from 13 years ago.
He opened the post and started reading. The post wasn't very long, and Qingyuan finished reading it in just three minutes.
After reading the post, Qingyuan also looked at the comments from some people below the post.
In the end, it only took five minutes for Qingyuan to resolve his doubts.
Simply put, it's because young people are unreliable and their actions are questionable, coupled with some information silos.
Ultimately, most people took Giovanni's words as a joke.
Qingyuan remembered one sentence in the post very clearly.
"Although Giovanni became a gym leader at the young age of nineteen, which is a promising prospect, he has not even reached the Elite Four level. How can his words be convincing?"
Many people in the comments section agree with this statement.
Of course, many people also refuted this person.
However, as time went by, more than a decade passed, and the original Giovanni was still just a gym leader.
There wasn't even the slightest sign of him breaking through to become a Champion Trainer.
Gradually, those who initially criticized him became more and more convinced that they were right.
Those who believed in Giovanni had no reason to refute him after seeing the name of Giovanni, the Gym Leader of Viridian City.
Over time, Giovanni's theory was gradually seen by the world as nothing more than the clown talk made by a young, successful gym leader in an attempt to attract attention.
However, Qingyuan had a different opinion; he knew exactly how strong Sakaki was.
The Beedrill in his hand first decisively defeated Lance's ace Dragonite, the champion of Johto.
Later, it even defeated Deoxys, a legendary Pokémon that could fight Rayquaza to a standstill.
How could his theory be wrong? As for why he didn't come forward to clarify things with these netizens.
You have to understand that he's a powerful underworld figure who's always opposed to the Alliance. He probably already regretted aiding the enemy when he was writing the series.
Besides, he's a strong person. There's no need for a strong person to prove their strength to a weak person!
After figuring out why, despite Sakaki's theories, people still don't understand what "momentum" is.
Qingyuan breathed a long sigh of relief. At least the folly of the world was better than the theory being false.
Furthermore, the alliance did not publicly oppose Giovanni's theory.
Therefore, this already proves that Sakaki's theory is correct.
After figuring out what had happened, Qingyuan got out of bed and started packing his things.
It's already noon, and we've already planned to head to Cerulean City this afternoon.
So even though I wasted a lot of time looking at the information, I still had to pack my things and leave.
Of course, before setting off, Qingyuan also needed to purchase some supplies from Silver Company.
After all, he planned to stay in Tsukimi-yama for a while.
Mount Tsukimi is famous for its moonstones; I wonder if he'll have the luck to make a fortune there.
After packing his things, Qingyuan left the room and went to the lobby of the Pokémon Center.
After checking out of the store with Nurse Joy at the counter, Qingyuan said goodbye to Nurse Joy and left the Pokémon Center with his backpack.
After leaving the Pokémon Center, Qingyuan, carrying his backpack, headed straight for the location of the Silver Company's shopping mall in Pewter City.
Upon entering the mall, Qingyuan went on a shopping spree. He first replenished Scorpion's food and energy cubes to three months' worth, just as he had done in Tokiwa City.
Then, Qingyuan provided Scyther and Charmander with three months' worth of food and energy cubes, just like he would with Scorpio.
These items alone cost Qingyuan a full 20 Alliance Coins.
Based on the resources needed for raising Pokémon as outlined in the training manual, he provided each of the three Pokémon with a month's worth of supplies.
These resources cost Qingyuan 180,000 Alliance Coins, including 50,000 each for the Scyther and Scorpion, and the Charmander, which was more expensive at 80,000 Alliance Coins.
After preparing all this, Qingyuan used the equipment he had previously bought as collateral and added some Alliance Coins to upgrade his own equipment. Afterwards, he bought some training equipment for Scorpion and the others.
After spending 650,000 Alliance Coins at Silver Company, Qingyuan left the company with a pained expression, carrying a completely new set of equipment.
Although after this round of shopping, Qingyuan returned to the ranks of the poor.
However, he believed that as long as he could convert the resources he had into strength, the Alliance Coins he had previously spent would definitely double back.
Driven by the belief in becoming stronger and making money, Qingyuan resolutely embarked on the side road leading to Mount Tsukimi.
With the addition of Scyther, his strength increased significantly, allowing him to stay away from the main road built by the League and travel along the side roads.
Qingyuan, who was even a little overconfident, was preparing to leave the road built by the alliance and travel deeper into the surrounding forest.
However, remembering the exceptionally talented Charmander in the Poké Ball, Qingyuan gave up on the idea.
With this little fire dragon, all we need to do now is develop step by step.
There is absolutely no need to risk your life and put yourself in danger for such a small gain.
Thinking of this, Qingyuan released the Scorpion and the Little Fire Dragon.
The Charmander, which had just emerged from its Poké Ball, immediately tried to burrow into Qingyuan's arms.
Qingyuan quickly stopped it and said.
"Flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand the baptism of wind and rain. Little Fire Dragon, I'm going to start training you now."
"So you can't let me carry you, you have to learn to walk on your own!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the little fire dragon stared blankly at Qingyuan, seemingly not quite understanding.
After hearing this, Scorpio gave Charmander a feedback from the side.
After it finished speaking, the little fire dragon changed its appearance and walked ahead of the road with great fighting spirit to clear the way for Qingyuan.
Seeing this, Qingyuan looked at Scorpio with a face full of curiosity.
This curiosity stems from both the curiosity about what it said to Charmander and the curiosity about discovering a new use for Scorpio.
But no matter what, it's a good thing as long as Charmander is actively training.
