Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 336 Arrival at Crimson Lotus Island

After capturing Gengar, Qingyuan rested for a night in Aster Town.

The next day, he rode Charizard towards Cinnabar Island.

……

After many twists and turns, Qingyuan and Charizard finally boarded the ship bound for Cinnabar Island.

"You guys are really amazing, we're almost at the Orange Islands!"

Captain Yajie of the Bo Yu said to Qingyuan with admiration as he chewed on a dried shad.

"There's nothing we can do. Who would have thought that Charizard would get lost at sea and almost end up in the Orange Islands!"

"We really have to thank Captain Yajie for taking us in this time, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do!"

Upon hearing Ya Jie's words, Qing Yuan chewed on the same kind of dried flounder and said to Ya Jie with a grateful expression.

"Haha, it's nothing. I just happened to run into you guys on my way to deliver goods to Red Lotus Island!"

"Don't worry, my boat will reach Red Lotus Island this afternoon, so you don't need to worry about not having a place to stay!"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Yajie patted Qingyuan on the shoulder and said with a smile.

To be honest, if Qingyuan hadn't immediately shown his Alliance Investigator credentials the moment he met him, it would have been a huge mistake.

He wouldn't just bring Qingyuan onto the ship like that, after all, there are still quite a few pirates on the high seas!

"Roar! (You were the one who gave the directions, how can you blame me!)"

The Charizard, which was resting against the fence, immediately spoke with a resentful expression after hearing Qingyuan's words.

It discovered that Qingyuan was becoming increasingly irresponsible and had lost all sense of responsibility.

"Shut up, don't I have any dignity?"

Upon hearing Charizard's words, Qingyuan quickly stuffed two tomato candies into its mouth and whispered something in its ear.

"Ugh! (I can't be bothered with you!)"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words and feeling the tomato candy in its mouth, Charizard breathed hot air at Qingyuan and then turned its head away.

For the sake of the tomato sugar, this black pot spewed fire from its back.

After all, a dragon is born into this world and always has to pay a small price for something!

Thank you so much, Qingyuan, for the two eggplant candies! Please feel free to contact me again if you have such a good deal.

Seeing the Charizard chewing on tomato candy with a look of pure enjoyment on its face, Qingyuan couldn't help but pat its head.

"You're just copying Scorpio King all the time; you've all become such drama queens!"

……

After resolving the minor incident of getting lost, Qingyuan boarded the Boyu ship and finally arrived at Honglian Island at 4:30 pm.

"I'll leave you here. The hot springs on Crimson Lotus Island are quite nice; you should definitely try them!"

As Qingyuan disembarked, Captain Yajie stood at the bow and shouted loudly at him.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Yajie!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan waved to Yajie, responding enthusiastically.

However, upon hearing this, Ya Jie felt terrible.

"He...he called me 'uncle'?!?"

Do I look that old?

Ya Jie grabbed the first mate, who was preparing to direct the crew to unload the cargo, and asked incredulously.

He's only 24 years old this year, got married last year and doesn't even have kids yet, and he's already being called "uncle"?

Upon hearing this, the first mate gave Ya Jie a serious look, and looking at Ya Jie's thick beard, he couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Boss, you look like a man in his forties."

"A man in his forties..."

Upon hearing this, Ya Jie froze on the spot.

He felt like he had been hit by a billion points of damage, but he couldn't retaliate.

Seeing what Yajie was doing, the first mate pulled his arm away and went to direct the crew to unload the cargo.

What the hell? The cargo hasn't even been unloaded yet, why are you bringing him over here!

He wanted to finish this voyage as soon as possible so he could go home and be with his wife and children. He had been working on ships for a year, and the last time his wife wrote to him, she said that their second child was about to be born, which made him so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

Meanwhile, Qingyuan, completely unaware that he had dealt a critical hit of billions of points to Yajie, was walking dejectedly through the streets of Honglian Island.

He went to the Pokémon Center just now, only to be told that there were no rooms available.

With reservations already booked until the day after tomorrow, Qingyuan had no choice but to leave the Pokémon Center and find a hotel to stay in.

I just went to six hotels in a row, and unsurprisingly, none of them had rooms available!

"This is a real problem. Where are we going to stay tonight? We can't just come all this way to Red Lotus Island and have to sleep on the streets!"

Looking at the joyful faces of the tourists on the street, Qingyuan felt that people's joys and sorrows were not shared.

While others are enjoying their vacation, he's racking his brains over where to stay for the night!

What is that thing that makes your head feel cold and your body feel warm?

Just then, a blond man wearing sunglasses stopped a young couple in front of him and asked them a question.

"Sigh, what could it be?"

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately looked completely bewildered.

"Oh dear, they're asking you a question, not you asking them. Hurry up and think of something! Aren't you really good at riddles?"

Upon hearing the boy's words, the girl immediately shook his arm and said something.

"Is it like this: in the summer, with the air conditioning on and you wrapped in a quilt?"

After hearing what the girl said, the boy thought for a moment and then looked at the man with a look of surprise.

Congratulations, your answer is wrong!

Upon hearing the boy's words, the man shook his head and said to him.

"What? I thought I got it right!"

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately looked dejected.

"I know, I know, it's about eating hot pot while the air conditioning is on, right!"

"The air conditioning made my head feel icy cold, but the hot pot made my body feel warm!"

Seeing that the boy had answered incorrectly, the girl quickly shouted at him.

"I'm sorry, you didn't get it right either!"

Upon hearing this, the man shook his head and said to the girl with a regretful expression.

"What? This isn't right at all! I thought I had it all figured out!"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately leaned on the boy's shoulder with a dejected expression and muttered to herself.

"It must be an open-air hot spring, right?"

Seeing this, Qingyuan spoke to the blond man.

He remembered that there seemed to be such a scene in the anime, and the blond man was Blaine, the Gym Leader of Crimson Lotus Gym.

Because of the discovery of an open-air hot spring on Crimson Island, the reputation of the Crimson Dojo on Crimson Island has gradually diminished.

Xia Bo is now in a semi-retired state.

Wow, not bad, buddy! Congratulations on getting it right!

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the blond man, Xia Bo, looked at Qingyuan with delight.

"What is it that is so close yet unseen?"

Looking at Qingyuan in front of him, Xia Bo asked Qingyuan another question.

"Although I know it's an eyelid, I really want to say that you must be Mr. Blaine, the head of the Crimson Lotus Gym!"

Looking at Xia Boqingyuan in front of him, he said with a smile.
