Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 103 After He Left
later.

The flying forces from the Earth Kingdom did not enter the isolated island where the Scorpion King was located.

Because the island is located further west of Jihua Town.

The Dragon Kings are located in the northeast of Jihua Town.

The flying forces coming from the eastern sea wouldn't even pass through Jihua Town on their way to the Dragon King's capital, let alone the island where the Scorpion King's clan resides.

But in the end, there is no difference.

This flying force, composed of low- to mid-level Pokémon, couldn't withstand the combined might of five hundred Beedrill and the Pokémon Academy's magical beasts for long before scattering and fleeing.

On the frontal battlefield.

The Imperial Dragon Army chased after the Earth Army blocking their path, cutting them down all the way.

Seeing that they were no match for the enemy in a direct confrontation and that the flying forces in the Dragon Capital had not made any moves, the Earth Army hurriedly hid in the mountain paths, hoping to be the first to escape back to the Earth Capital to defend the city.

After thinking it over, Yu Longlin didn't dare to let the Yu Long army follow him into the cave. Instead, he led the Yu Long army through the Everlasting Forest and fought his way into the capital of the Great Earth Kingdom.

That's the strange thing.

The Earth Army has not yet reached the Earth Capital!
Logically, the land should have ridden the dragon back to the capital first.

After all, taking the mine tunnels is much faster than wandering aimlessly in the Viridian Forest.

However, the army of the land did not return.

Yu Longlin later discovered when he returned with his men to explore the mine that the entire Earth Army, totaling 20,000 men and their Pokémon, had been crushed to death inside the mine!

During their time in the forest, the Silver Mountains were suddenly struck by a mysterious earthquake, causing a massive collapse of the mine tunnels that buried countless people and Pokémon inside.

Another option is the capital city of the Great Earth.

When the Imperial Dragon Army arrived at the capital of the Great Land.

Instead of putting up a fierce resistance, the people in the capital city of the Great Earth warmly welcomed the arrival of the Imperial Dragon Army, leading them into the palace and capturing Sakaki Shiro.

Sakaki Shiro did not resist.

He could have run away when the imperial army stormed the palace.

Every king will leave himself an escape route.

He had originally planned to run away if he was defeated.

However, when he felt a sharp pain in his chest and realized that his Beedrill was dead, he no longer wanted to run.

He used to think that the beast tamers in the army were exaggerated and childish.

It's just a Warcraft dying, right?

What's with all this talk of dying and threatening to die?

If a monster dies, wouldn't you just go and catch a new one?

Those who achieve great things are not careful about the little things.

just now.

He got it.

What ambition, what unification?
He didn't want to think about it at all.

He just wanted to spend the last part of his life reminiscing.

I recall my encounter with that little insect in the forest, how we got to know each other, and the bits and pieces of the past twenty-two years.

'If I could do it all over again, I would still want to sit on the throne, but I would definitely make a wiser and more prudent decision.'

'Beedrill, if you could do it all over again, would you still trust me?'

Sakaki Haku is dead.

He did not die at the hands of the Imperial Dragon Army.

Instead, it dies from drinking poison secreted by the beetle.

The final victor of the war was the Dragon Kingdom.

The war's end swept across the entire city like a raging storm.

The entire Kingdom of Dragon Kings celebrated.

But on days like these, there are always some people who just can't be happy no matter what.

【'Dragon Protector of the Nation' A-Lan, died in battle.】

Such news is irrelevant to the vast majority of people, who consider the outcome worthwhile.

However, for a few individuals, it was a very heavy blow.

. . .

In a small courtyard near the Imperial Dragon Palace.

Yu Longqiu stood quietly on the second-floor balcony, lost in thought. She raised her head and looked at the gloomy sky, letting the cold wind and rain lash her cheeks.

She didn't know why.

I feel really down today.

"Little Catalpa".

My mother's voice came from behind me.

"Mom? Is there any news?"

Upon hearing his mother's voice, Yu Longqiu snapped out of his daze and rushed towards her.

Her eyes shone, as if she was already looking forward to hearing from her mother about her aunt and A-Lan's great exploits on the battlefield.

"Lord Alan has sacrificed himself."

Yu Longqiu's mother looked down at her lovely daughter, swallowed hard, and finally told her the news.

"."

Yu Longqiu was taken aback, tilted his head, and seemed not to have reacted yet.

She took two steps back, stared at her mother's face, and suddenly her nose turned red and snot started running down her face.

Yu Longqiu lowered his head, raised his arm and wiped it haphazardly, then looked up at his mother again and shook his head vigorously.

"Little Qiu."

Yu Longqiu's mother's eyes reddened, but she didn't know what to say.

"."

Yu Longqiu seemed to have confirmed the news, confirming that his mother had not lied to him.

Her nose started running again, but she didn't bother to wipe it.

Yu Longqiu pursed her pale lips tightly, her small hands tugging at her skirt, her big eyes straining to hold back tears as she continued to look at her mother, shaking her head weakly.

Her once vibrant eyes are now gradually clouded by a sense of melancholy.

Yu Longqiu's mother felt a pang of pain in her heart and reached out to pull her daughter into her arms, hugging her tightly.

"I do not want"

The whispers in her ear made Yu Longqiu's mother tighten her grip.

"I don't want to! Waaaaah!"

Yu Longqiu finally couldn't hold back anymore and broke down in tears, sobbing uncontrollably. "I don't want A-Lan to die! I don't want her to!!"

She forcefully broke free from her mother's embrace, grabbing her mother's skirt with both hands and screaming hysterically.

It seems that as long as she acts a little more unreasonable, her all-powerful mother can bring Ah Lan back.

But this is impossible.

. . .

The kitchen of the Imperial Dragon Palace.

Hestia hummed a gentle tune as she took a pretty bottle out of the pot.

At this moment.

Suddenly, the sound of several maids talking in bewilderment came from the corridor outside.

It's normal for maids to whisper among themselves.

She crept closer to the doorway, intending to eavesdrop on whether the maids were talking badly about her.

"What should we do?! Should we tell Hestia about this?"

"No! You can't say!"

"But Hestia will find out sooner or later!"

"The later we find out, the better. Hestia has taken care of Lord Aran for so long; if she finds out that Lord Aran died in battle, then..."

Hestia wouldn't listen to what was said after that.

She felt the world become incredibly quiet at that moment, and she couldn't hear anything.

He suddenly came to his senses.

Hestia had already huddled alone in a corner of the kitchen.

Her maid outfit was covered in colorful sauces, and the whole kitchen was in a mess.

The warmth in her hands made Hestia lower her head in a daze.

She was still holding the baby bottle she had just taken out in her hand.

The bottle contained milk that Hestia had just heated.

but
What's the point of heating it up ten thousand times?
The big guy that was supposed to drink it is no longer here.

"."

Hestia did not cry.

She just huddled in a corner of the kitchen, clutching the baby bottle in both hands.

She stayed in bed for a very, very long time, so long that she didn't even know when she had fallen asleep.

. . .

time flies.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Dragon King seems to have remained largely unchanged from a year ago.

In a small valley far from the capital, there is a natural flower garden.

Several Pokémon would often pass by the flowerbed, glance at the stone tablet standing in the center of the flowerbed, and then leave on their own.

"Soulai."

This is the first time the Scyther has come here.

He brought flowers that could only be found in the enclosed area of ​​Baiyin Mountain, placed them in front of the stone tablet, and then stood quietly for a long time.

"I clearly wanted him to stay with me forever, to be there for me until the day peace came."

A clear, melodious female voice sounded from behind.

Liz arrived at the flower garden accompanied by Hestia.

Scyther turned around and looked at Liz.

It only took a year.

Liz looked much older than before, with many white strands appearing in her burgundy hair, even though she was only 31 years old.

Liz walked to the grave, raised her hand and gently stroked the tombstone, then sat down on the ground.

"I shouldn't have let him go on the sea route."

Liz sighed, her eyes dimming slightly.

Throughout the countless nights of that year, she couldn't help but feel guilty and remorseful every time she closed her eyes.

It was she who insisted that A-Lan take the sea route.

She caused the death of her beloved Ah Lan.

Whenever she thinks about this, she feels so uncomfortable that she has to consciously control her breathing.

But no one blamed her, not even Hestia and Yulongqiu.

If A-Lan doesn't go, then everyone in the Dragon Royal Capital will have to be taken hostage, and everyone in the Dragon Royal Clan will die.

"When I was little, I felt sorry for the people around me who tied up their puppies with ropes."

"But now that I think about it, have I become the rope that bound A-Lan for life?"

"If only I had realized it sooner, I would have told him not to force himself to do things he doesn't like for my sake."

"I want him to be free, happy, and to live for himself."

Liz sat on the spot, hugging her knees, and wrapped herself tightly in the cloak behind her.

Sudden.

The white cloak she wore seemed to have gained warmth, and the sunshine-like warmth embraced Liz tightly.

Liz was momentarily dazed.

This feeling...
It was as if Ah Lan had embraced her once again.

"Ah Lan, I miss you again."

Liz clutched her cloak tightly and buried her head in the crook of her knees.

Tears streamed down her face, making her look like the helpless and pitiful little girl she was 23 years ago.

The crystal-clear tears mingled with the dirt beside Liz's legs.

In the blink of an eye, a bright and beautiful little flower appeared.

Liz, with her head down, saw the little flower suddenly appear and instinctively reached out to gently touch it.

But Xiaohua was like a mirage; her fingers passed through it without affecting her in the slightest.

At that moment, Liz seemed to realize something and subconsciously looked behind her.

There is nothing there.

But she could just sense it.

he is.
