Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 144 Enemies meet on a narrow road
“I’ve already contacted my friend for you, but he’s traveling in the Sinnoh region right now. He said he’ll have his cousin come and pick you up.”

Ye Zi's words put Wu Ge at ease.

Since the other party's friend has said so, it means that the deal can be done.

"Thank you."

"You and Maomao can stay here until his cousin arrives. I have a question to ask you."

Ye Zi suddenly remembered something and beckoned Wu Ge to come with her.

They walked all the way to the grove of trees in the ecological park.

Tire Cat followed Wu Ge's side.

She looked curiously at the Pokémon that appeared in her field of vision, but her gaze was mostly fixed on the Treecko in the tree.

Because of Wu Ge.

As expected, Tirey couldn't help but be drawn to the gecko.

"Sceptile King, look at this Treecko. Do you think evolution can solve its eye problem?"

Leaf came to the tree and pointed to the wood gecko on the tree.

"Why would you think I would know the answer to this kind of question?"

Wu Ge scratched his head.

Pokémon themselves sometimes don't even understand their own situation, let alone other individuals.

Although it is the final evolution of Treecko, it is impossible for it to know such a question.

If you really want to know if this can be solved, why not just evolve this Treecko?

He had never seen anything like this in the game.

For the other wood geckos, dodge them all.

Only this one has a single, gleaming eye.

"According to my Pokémon doctor's guess, this situation may be because Treecko's father is a Goodra from the Kalos region, and that Goodra's eyes are bluish-green."

Ye Zi reached out and patted the tree trunk in front of her, then called out upwards.

"Treetree~ Look, your evolved form!"

"Chamo?"

The tree tree snapped out of its reverie upon hearing the leaf's call.

He looked down and his gaze fell on Wu Ge, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

The tree-like creature climbed down from the tree, but instead of approaching Wu Ge, it hid half its body behind the tree trunk and cautiously peeked out with half its head to look at him.

Wu Ge quietly lowered his head and looked at the gecko.

He really didn't know how the Lizard King usually got along with Treecko.

After all, this was the first time he had seen a Wood-Mothra since he traveled through time.

Furthermore, there has never been a scene in the anime where the Lizard King and Treecko interact.

"Meow."

At this moment, Tire Cat took action.

She actually reached out and took Wu Ge's hand.

In the past, she would definitely have been too embarrassed to do such a thing.

"Well?"

Wu Ge raised an eyebrow and glanced down at Tire Cat.

The latter noticed Wu Ge's gaze, but did not meet his eyes, instead quietly staring at the gecko behind the tree trunk.

"Chamo?"

Kikyo glanced at Tireyne.

A hint of doubt flickered in his eyes.

Treecko seemed puzzled as to why a Sceptile would be accompanied by a cat-like Pokémon.

"Come on, Gecko, don't be so shy."

Leaf stepped forward and picked up the wood gecko from behind the tree, explaining as she did so.
"Because of his eye problem, this child has always been subjected to strange looks, which has made him somewhat timid and introverted."

"I see."

Wu Ge nodded, deeply understanding this sentiment.

Just like when he and Tire Cat first arrived in Jihua City, how many people did they attract?

One or two times is fine.

If you live in that kind of environment for a long time, you'll get sick even if you weren't.

"Chamo."

The tree gecko was carried by Ye Zi to Wu Ge.

He looked up at Wu Ge, his eyes filled with longing and admiration.

The Lizard King clan and the Scorpion King clan actually share some commonalities.

'Wang' is a real king.

Both the Lizard King and the Scorpion King held absolute dominance in their respective tribes, and no one in the tribe was allowed to disobey their orders.

But the difference lies in...

Scorpios obey the instincts of their genes, and they feel awe for the Scorpio King and for his power.

But they are not necessarily truly loyal to their own king.

Two scorpion kings from different clans are fighting.

The defeated scorpions will immediately submit to the more powerful scorpion king.

The Lizard King's clan has some additional features.

While the geckos and forest lizards, like the scorpions, derive their awe of the Lizard King from their genes, they also develop new feelings of self.

Emotions such as worship, longing, and respect.

This emotion transcends genetic limitations and ultimately gives rise to loyalty.

At this moment, the way Tree Spirit looked at Wu Ge was no longer just awe.

It was a feeling of wanting to follow Wu Ge.

"Do you plan to return to the wild or stay with humans in the future?"

Wu Ge raised his hand and patted the gecko's head.

Although he has never spent time among wild gecko clans.

However, he guessed that Pokémon with some 'mutations' probably didn't have a good life in their packs.

Not to the point of being abandoned by their own kind.

But there should always be some differences in treatment.

Pokémon don't know as much as humans do.

They don't understand what 'sparkling' is.

I don't know if this 'mutation' is a disease, or if it can be transmitted to other members of the same race.

Let alone those that are visible on the surface of the body.

Even if they look the same, they will be ostracized by their clansmen if they are only different in their behavior.

On the contrary, they are not treated badly by Pokémon of other species. But this is only because Pokémon of other species do not understand this.

This kind of thing happens frequently among human groups with higher IQs and more knowledge, so it's even more common in the Pokémon world.

So generally speaking...

This unique Pokémon is already considered lucky if it doesn't get bullied within its own group.

It's not surprising to be driven out when you encounter some ruthless and ignorant clan leaders.

The most well-known example is Meowth from Team Rocket.

Meow Meow once learned to walk on two legs and speak human language for a female cat named Madonna, and even suffered a lot of beatings for it.

However, the price was Madonna's comment, "A cat that walks on two legs is disgusting."

Even though Meow Meow later defeated the bullying cat boss for Madonna's sake, Madonna still found Meow Meow, who walked on two legs, disgusting.

"Chamo."

When the tree spirit heard Wu Ge ask this question, it became confused.

He never even considered leaving Sunshine Kindergarten.

Kikyo thought this place was great.

He has no worries about food or lodging here, and he also has some friends who don't mind his situation, so he doesn't want to leave.

But this is not possible.

As Pokémon evolve and become stronger, the cost of owning a Pokémon will increase.

This includes not only daily food consumption, but also the maintenance of a suitable living environment.

This grove can now accommodate wood geckos.

But for the forest lizard, it's like a crowded doghouse, but at least it's still habitable.

But for the Lizard King, it was just a toilet.

Upgrading this environment requires expanding the kindergarten's territory or encroaching on the survival resources of other Pokémon.

Ye Zi isn't involved in charity; her family is essentially business.

He couldn't possibly leave the Treecko here to live out its natural life, unless it never evolved.

So, should I go to the Alliance or go back to the wilderness?

This is a problem that the tree gecko must consider.

"Chamo?"

The tree spirit looked up and asked.

Will he be able to go with Wu Ge?

He used to belong to a clan with a lizard king, but he felt that Wu Ge was much stronger and more handsome than that lizard king.

From the moment the tree spirit saw Wu Ge, it felt an irresistible urge to get close to him.

If he had to choose, he would still prefer to leave with Wu Ge.

"Meow!"

Tiremy spoke first and rejected the gecko.

"Well, I already have enough of this little tagalong by my side, so I can't let you keep following me."

Wu Ge did not reprimand Tire Miao for making decisions on her own.

He really didn't plan to keep any other Pokémon with him.

With Tire the cat by his side, he no longer feels lonely.

"Meow."

Tiremy raised her hand and gently patted Wu Ge's thigh.

She didn't like being called a "follower" by Wu Ge.

But this time...
She was in a good mood, so she just gave Wu Ge a symbolic pat.

"Chamo."

"In my opinion, I would recommend that you join the alliance and find a trustworthy partner."

Wu Ge pointed at the leaves and continued,
"Maybe I can meet a trainer who is as good as Leaf, or even better."

"Chamo."

The tree spirit glanced at the leaf, and, moved by Wu Ge's words, nodded.

He has made his decision.

I'll go to the league when I grow up.

"I believe you won't regret it."

Wu Ge grinned and reached out to rub the gecko's head.

In the Pokémon world, most humans can trust their own Pokémon.

Even a ruthless gangster like Giovanni would only target other people's Pokémon.

Not to mention villains like the Rockets trio.

And because of the experiences I've had throughout this life.

He had a relatively favorable impression of people from this period.

He believed that Treecko was much better off with a Pokémon League trainer than on its own in the wild.

At least we won't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter, or transportation.

call.

call.

At that moment, a strong wind was heard from the sky.

Wu Ge turned his head and saw a familiar-looking guy.

"Meow?"

Tiremy tilted her head, a look of surprise in her eyes.

Isn't this the guy who was brutally beaten by Wu Ge?
It’s really a narrow road between enemies.

"Hey! Leaf! The Pokémon you asked me to bring isn't this Sceptile, is it?"

The visitors were none other than Charizard, who had been brutally beaten in Lilycove City, and his trainer, Gon.

"Roar!"

The Charizard was incredibly excited when it saw Wu Ge.

He flicked his tail, tossed his trainer to the ground, and then came to Wu Ge and patted his chest.

That means the last battle doesn't count, and he wants to fight Wu Ge again.

"It's good to be competitive, but you also need to recognize your own strength. You should save your breath."

Wu Ge has no interest in beating up kids, and he doesn't even glance at the fire-breathing dragon.

Charizard wanted to fight him.

It is necessary to simultaneously achieve two things: 'his level is five levels higher than his' and 'Xiao Jie's command level is improved'.

At least in this way, the battle can be made more interesting and last longer.

Whether they can win or not is another matter.
