Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 422 The Source of the Power of Everlasting Rock!

"No, are you even listening to me?"

Looking at Celebi circling around him, Qingyuan said speechlessly.

"I heard you speak. I was just wondering why you possess the power of Eternal Moon!"

"Do you know that the probability of the Power of Everlasting appearing on a dog is greater than the probability of it appearing on you!"

"Is Viridian Forest blind? How could it have chosen you to bestow the power of Viridian!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Celebi waved his hand at Qingyuan and said...

"You'll have to ask Viridian Forest about that. I don't even know how I acquired the power of Viridian!"

Hearing Celebi's words, Qingyuan said with an innocent look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Celebi paused, stared at Qingyuan for a long time before speaking.

"You're right, I'll go ask Viridian Forest. You stay here and don't move!"

After saying that, Celebi vanished into spacetime and disappeared from Qingyuan's sight.

Qingyuan didn't pay any attention to Celebi disappearing before his eyes, and instead looked around at the surrounding environment.

After all, Celebi is a forest spirit, so it's perfectly normal for it to be able to communicate with Viridian Forest.

After a brief period of observation, Qingyuan felt that he might be in the inner region of Viridian Forest.

After all, the ancient trees here are more than five times thicker than the trees in the surrounding area.

Qingyuan was certain that he had never seen such a thick piece of wood in all his time traveling.

Only the trees surrounding Akina's crimson dojo, nestled deep in the mountains, seem comparable to those here.

But there were only a few of them.

"Greeting? (Are you still on guard?)"

Seeing Qingyuan already wandering around, Scorpion King couldn't help but speak.

"No need, all of us combined aren't enough to take them down!"

"Being on guard won't help. Everyone, just relax. The energy here is perfect for resting!"

Upon hearing Scorpion King's words, Qingyuan spoke to Scorpion King.

Celebi's strength is directly proportional to the condition of the forest; the larger and more lush the forest it lives in, the stronger Celebi will be.

Viridian Forest, the largest forest in the Pokémon world, is home to Celebi whose strength is comparable to that of a second-tier legendary Pokémon.

Even if Qingyuan and his friends were all together, they wouldn't be able to defeat him with just one hand.

Moreover, this is deep within the heart of the forest, where Celebi's strength might even rival that of a first-tier god.

Of course, this is limited to just a touch. After that, the forest will fall into a deathly silence, and Celebi's strength will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, excluding Celebi's ability to travel through time, Celebi can be considered one of the easiest mythical beasts to capture.

All you need to do is set the forest on fire when you're capturing Celebi.

If the forest is destroyed, Celebi will also fall into extreme weakness, and its strength will decrease significantly.

It was only because Celebi was elusive and difficult to encounter that so many forests were spared from destruction.

"So, where exactly did I get this power of Everlasting?"

Looking at the ancient tree before him, Qingyuan couldn't help but ponder the issue of the Everlasting Power within his body.

He really couldn't understand where the power of eternal life within him came from.

If you were to say he was favored by Viridian Forest, he would ask himself honestly, and he didn't think he had anything that Viridian Forest would value.

Buying and selling Pokémon, treating them as objects—that doesn't seem like something Viridian Forest would want.

Although Giovanni later used spirits for experiments, he didn't value their lives.

But at least he was a good young man at the beginning.

Their initial dream was to build a harmonious alliance, but they were later tripped up by powerful families.

Only after realizing that he couldn't work with the powerful families did he begin to think about ruling the world.

And he did the same things that Giovanni did after he turned evil from the very beginning.

He shouldn't have been appreciated by Viridian Forest at all, but he was appreciated anyway.

This really baffled Qingyuan.

He often wondered if the Viridian Forest had become senile from being so long-standing, which was why it had given him the power of Viridian.

He had previously wondered if this was a gift from Mother Earth, but later he realized it probably wasn't.

Because his superpower growth potential exceeds that of most superpowered individuals, although his superpowers don't allow him to become a powerful Elite Four level psychic-type Pokémon from the start.

But he can indeed become that strong through further training.

This is what Sabrina told him; his potential is infinitely greater than most superhumans who practice their whole lives but can only crack spoons.

Therefore, Qingyuan believed that this was the true gift from Mother Earth, and that only those who gained the approval of the Everlasting Forest could obtain the power of Everlasting.

Qingyuan felt that this had little to do with Blue Star's mother.

"I got the question!"

Just as Qingyuan was pondering, Celebi suddenly appeared and looked at him with a complicated expression.

"What did you find out?"

Looking at Celebi's conflicted expression, Qingyuan couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"I never expected that you would be a descendant of Ah Chen!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Celebi said with a sigh.

"Who is Ah Chen?"

Hearing this, Qingyuan was completely dumbfounded. Was he about to reveal his family members again?

I just don't know if this Ah Chen is his grandfather, his grandmother, or his father.

As for grandfather or anything like that, Qingyuan felt that was absolutely impossible.

Judging from the way Fufeng Qianlong and the others act, they don't seem like they could have a relationship with Celebi.

"Ah Chen is your father!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Celebi spoke to Qingyuan in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan stood there, falling silent for a moment.

Although it's possible that Celebi is telling the truth, he still feels like it's cursing him, and he doesn't know why.

"so what?"

Looking at Celebi, who had said one sentence and then fallen silent again, Qingyuan couldn't help but ask.

"So the power of Eternal Life within you comes from the legacy of your fathers!"

"Its original functions were so powerful that it could make you a superman and help your partners grow quickly!"

"As a result, because of your own incompetence, your dark heart, and your greed, you can only understand Elven language and can only use the most basic healing abilities!"

Hearing Qingyuan's words, Celebi said irritably.

His words were full of disappointment and frustration with Qingyuan's lack of ambition.

It was good friends with Qingyuan's father, Nanchen, so it now regarded Qingyuan as its junior.

Seeing its friend's descendants so disappointing, squandering what its friend had risked his life for, it was truly furious.

"Am I not good enough?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan pointed to himself and said with an incredulous expression.

He's been traveling for so long, and most people have always praised him as a genius and talented. This is the first time I've heard someone say that he's not living up to his potential.

"That's right! Look what you've done to the Power of Everlasting!"

Upon hearing this, Celebi immediately addressed Qingyuan in a reprimanding tone.

Seeing Shera acting like an elder, Qingyuan immediately spoke up, somewhat displeased.

"By what right do you accuse me?"
