Chapter 255 The Flute-Playing Grandpa!
Qingyuan, aiming to become a Pokémon Master, continued his journey after catching a follower who paid him 400,000 League Coins every month.
"Hey, you young men and women over there, would you like to hear the flute?"
After traveling for half a day, Qingyuan and Qianxue arrived at the crossroads in front of a town.
Then a very slovenly old man called out to him.
Qingyuan stopped the armored rhinoceros and carefully looked at the old man sitting on the rock.
If he remembered correctly, this old man seemed to have several Snorlax.
"Young men and women, would you like to hear the flute?"
Seeing Qingyuan and Qianxue stop in front of him, the old man picked up his flute and asked Qingyuan.
"Qingyuan, would you like to hear the flute?"
Because the armored rhinoceros stopped, Chiyuki, who was unsteady on her feet, finally managed to regain her balance.
Upon hearing the old man's words, he immediately looked at Qingyuan with curiosity and asked.
Hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan shook his head at her before speaking to the old man.
"Are you the grandfather who plays the flute?"
"Grandpa who plays the flute?"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue looked completely bewildered. Who was this grandfather who played the flute?
Is he a very strong trainer?
"Oh my, that's a familiar title. Who is that referring to?"
"Oh, it's me!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old man immediately began to boast to Qingyuan.
Qingyuan looked helpless upon hearing this.
This old man talks too much nonsense.
However, since it concerned whether he could catch a Snorlax to use as a bed, Qingyuan patiently spoke to the old man.
Are all those Snorlax your Pokémon?
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old man felt a little itchy and played a few notes on his flute before speaking to him.
"You could say they're my spirits, since I'm the one who always wakes them up!"
"But actually I didn't catch them with Poké Balls!" (This is a secondary interpretation!)
Hearing this, Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
If that's the case, then he can catch the Snorlax that's blocking the spring.
"In that case, I'll take that Snorlax from the back mountain with me!"
After saying something to the old man, Qingyuan patted the armored rhinoceros and prepared to leave.
"Oh~ there's another Snorlax in the back mountain?"
"I'm just the one who awakened them. If you want to capture them, then go ahead and capture them!"
"I just hope you can treat Snorlax well!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old man immediately showed a look of sudden realization and said to Qingyuan.
Upon seeing this, Qingyuan immediately wore a defeated expression.
Good heavens, that's what I was thinking. In the original story, the spring was blocked for so long, and the river dried up, but the old man never went to wake up Snorlax.
So you've completely forgotten where Snorlax is.
"Don't worry, now that I've caught it, Snorlax is my partner!"
"I will definitely treat it well!"
After saying that, Qingyuan commanded the armored rhinoceros to turn around and prepare to leave the place.
"Hey, kid, wait a minute!"
Upon seeing this, the old man immediately shouted loudly to Qingyuan.
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan once again stopped the armored rhinoceros.
As for Qianxue, who was sitting at the tail of the armored rhinoceros, she fell off the back of the armored rhinoceros with a thud because of the repeated pauses.
"Ouch!"
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but when did you become so indecisive and hesitant about leaving?"
"Can you be a little more steady? If you can't ride a bull, let me ride it!"
After falling to the ground, Qianxue cried out in pain.
He immediately approached Qingyuan with an angry expression and shouted at him.
"I've told you so many times not to do the later parts!"
"It was your insistence that you did it, so it's not my fault!"
Upon hearing Qianxue's words, Qingyuan immediately put on an expression that said, "It's none of my business," and addressed Qianxue.
"you you you!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qianxue became furious and pointed at Qingyuan for a while.
Knowing he was in the wrong, he went to the side to sulk.
Seeing this, Qingyuan shrugged, got off the armored rhinoceros, and came to the old man to ask.
"May I ask what business the old man has with me?"
"You need a Pokémon Flute to wake Snorlax. Without this flute, it will be very difficult to wake that kid Snorlax from his sleep!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old man raised the flute in his hand to Qingyuan and said.
"But this flute is your livelihood, sir, and it's not appropriate for me to take it away!"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Qingyuan hesitated for a moment before speaking to him.
Of course, besides this situation, there's also the possibility that the old man has already played the flute.
He's a bit of a germaphobe and really dislikes things.
"This thing can be mass-produced. If you don't like this design, I have three other designs!"
"You can take whichever one you like. Honest and fair price, 30,000 Alliance Coins each!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old man gave Qingyuan a look as if he were a fool.
Then he took out three Pokémon flutes of different designs from behind his back and said to Qingyuan.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan felt so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear into the ground.
Why didn't you tell me earlier that it could be mass-produced?
He was even thinking about the old man, wondering how he would survive without the flute.
And then you tell me you sell flutes.
Give him back his mercy!
"I want this premium ball!"
Looking at the three flutes of different styles in front of him, Qingyuan pointed to the high-end ball style and said.
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the old man took it out separately and handed it to Qingyuan.
After Qingyuan took it, he took out 30,000 Alliance Coins in cash from his bag and handed it to the old man.
He then turned around, mounted his armored rhinoceros, and galloped towards the town in the distance.
He wanted to get away from this embarrassing, run-down place.
Qianxue, who was sulking to the side, turned around and saw Qingyuan riding away on his armored rhinoceros, and she was about to collapse.
What are you doing? What are you doing?!
She was just sulking, couldn't you, a grown man, comfort yourself? How could you just leave her like that? She'd already paid the bill!
Watching Qingyuan and the armored rhinoceros run further and further away.
With no other choice, Qianxue could only start running towards Qingyuan.
As she ran, she didn't forget to shout at Qingyuan.
"Wait for me! There's someone here who hasn't gotten on the ox yet!"
Meanwhile, Qingyuan, who was in an awkward situation, didn't hear Qianxue's voice at all.
Completely absorbed in his own world, he didn't stop the armored rhinoceros from its rampage until they reached the entrance to the town.
It was only at this moment that Qingyuan realized that his underlings hadn't followed!
