Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 153 Superpowered Boy

The future of Masago Town.

It can't even be considered a village now.

It could only be described as a small human camp—the Sand Camp.

A dozen or so wooden houses were built together haphazardly, surrounded by a circle of wooden pillars that served as a 'city wall'.

The wooden pillars were only three meters high, which was not enough to block Wu Ge's view.

It's probably not meant to block Pokémon.

"It's the same in every world."

Wu Ge stood outside the circle of wooden pillars and stood on tiptoe to look around.

They are clearly in the same world, or even on the same continent.

The difference in the pace of development between the two human settlements is so great.

The most developed city in Sinnoh, Luna City, is destined to be the seventh largest city in the Pokémon world, and its current level of prosperity is definitely not much worse than that of Luna City.

However, the Zhensha Camp, which is so close to Zhuqing City, seems to still be living a tribal life.

"Meow?"

The masked cat standing next to them tilted its head curiously.

"It's nothing. It's just an ordinary human village with Pokémon around. They shouldn't reject us."

Wu Ge shook his head, and Masked Cat circled the wooden wall.

We arrived at the main entrance in less than two minutes.

There were no guards at the entrance.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat strolled leisurely inside.

There seemed to be some kind of entertainment activity taking place in the small camp, with more than twenty people gathered in the camp square watching something.

Even if someone saw Wu Ge and Masked Cat appear, they only glanced at them a couple of times and didn't react in any other way.

That's not surprising.

After all, there are more Pokémon in this camp than humans, and they are mostly Pokémon that are common in the Sinnoh region.

Moreover, judging from their behavior...

Wild Pokémon make up more than half of the total.

"Meow?"

Shin-Ye-Nyan found the humans' reactions very strange.

Based on our experience, shouldn't humans not react excessively when they see them?
For example, they might gather around and chatter incessantly, or take pictures of them with some strange cube.

"It's about the same as it was back then in Huipi Town."

Wu Ge casually offered an explanation.

Because I have little experience with Pokémon, I often encounter unfamiliar ones, so I'm not surprised by them anymore.

That's why I glanced at them a couple more times.

It's probably not because their species is unfamiliar, but simply because they rarely see Pokémon of this size.

However, Wu Ge forgot what happened in the town of Huipi.

Masked Cat is still a baby who doesn't understand anything.

So even if Wu Ge told her it was like back in Hinoki Town, she still couldn't understand.

Come closer.

A few somewhat noisy insect chirps could be heard amidst the crowd.

These insect chirps have no particular significance.

In Wu Ge's and Masked Cat's eyes, it was just like a human humming, mainly expressing rhythm rather than content.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat ran over and gently hopped onto Wu Ge's tail.

Although she is 1.8 meters tall, she only weighs 40 kg.

She can be described as quite slim.

The main reason is that I haven't been eating anything good in the past two years, and I've been exercising a lot, so I've naturally lost weight.

Masked Cat stepped on Wu Ge's tail and rested her hands on his shoulders, looking into the crowd.

Several red Pokémon are making sounds.

"Speaker, oh dear."

Wu Ge was tall enough to spot the Pokémon surrounded by the crowd at a glance.

Speaker Krillin is the musician of the Pokémon world.

They are adept at using their calls in combination with their two forearms to produce melodious sounds.

Each speaker cricket has the ability to improvise melodies.

Furthermore, the melody will change according to the speaker's current emotions, and different individuals will produce different melodies.

Many human musicians study the melodies of speaker crickets, hoping to find inspiration from them.

"Hmm, it's a very old activity."

Wu Ge glanced at it twice and then lost interest.

It seems that long ago, human villages used to treat the act of competing in howling as a form of entertainment.

It's like cricket fighting.

However, this kind of thing only becomes popular in small villages.

After all, nothing very interesting usually happens in a small village, which is why people spend their time in places like this.

When the internet becomes widespread in the future, activities such as battles, coordination, and training will be launched.

People probably won't focus their energy on this.

Wu Ge quickly looked away.

However, since Masked Cat seemed quite interested in watching, he didn't turn around and leave.

"Ugh."

A sigh sounded beside Wu Ge.

At this moment, everyone watched with great interest as the crickets competed in chirping, all looking on with focused appreciation.

Apart from Wu Ge, no one noticed the sound.

Turn around and look.

Beside them stood a short, unremarkable-looking black-haired boy.

He looked at the crickets in the center of the crowd with a bored expression, as if he had no will to live.

"...You're the Sceptile from the Hoenn region, right?"

The boy noticed Wu Ge's sharp gaze, turned his head, and immediately recognized Wu Ge's race.

Rather.

For someone being stared at by Wu Ge, it would be difficult not to notice the Lizard King's naturally cold gaze.

"sharp."

Wu Ge grinned and praised, "This young man is truly amazing."

Judging from their clothing, they should be residents of this camp, and since they didn't have any Poké Balls, they shouldn't be a trainer.

Even if they go out and explore, they probably won't go very far and won't see many Pokémon.

Logically speaking.

This boy probably doesn't know that Sceptile is a Pokémon unique to the Hoenn region.

After all, Sinnoh is not a city adjacent to Hoenn; it is separated from Hoenn by half a northern hemisphere.

"Hmm, I don't remember this one."

The boy glanced at the masked cat standing on Wu Ge's tail and shook his head.

'If you even know about the Pokémon of Padia, then I'll really have to look at you in a new light.'

Wu Ge shook his head.

Padiya is in the Southern Hemisphere, relative to the Kanto region in the Northern Hemisphere.

Sinnoh is quite far from Padia.

"Padiea? Is it a Pokémon from that far away?"

Upon hearing this, the boy took a few more glances at the masked cat.

The region of Padiana.

Counting south, it's four regions away from Sinnoh.

Counting north, it's separated by the Arctic Ocean and Carlos.

".?"

Wu Ge was stunned and stared blankly at the boy.

"Oh, hello, Lizard King. My name is Moni. I'm a novice superhuman. I can hear your thoughts. I hope I didn't scare you."

Moni's eyes, which had been as still as dead water, brightened slightly.

It seemed that the arrival of Wu Ge and Masked Meow, two Pokémon from out of town, piqued his interest.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat was drawn to what Moni said.

She jumped off Wu Ge's tail and stood there, frowning as she looked at Moni.

Masked Cat's sense of smell is much more sensitive than Wu Ge's.

She could smell a Pokémon scent emanating from Moni.

The taste is very mild, but it penetrates to the bone marrow, and Moni may carry this taste with him for the rest of his life.

"This is the first time I've ever met someone with superpowers."

Wu Ge turned to look at Moni beside him, already adopting a cautious attitude.

He needs to control his thoughts.

Don't think of anything you shouldn't, lest Moni realize that he's a time traveler or a cheater.

"I've never seen any other superpowered individuals besides myself."

Moni shrugged and then pointed to a house next to him.
"There's no point in staying here. How about we come to my house for a chat? I'm quite interested in the world as seen through the eyes of your Pokémon."

"Let's go."

Wu Ge raised his chin.

He wasn't interested in the music that Speaker Shuai and the others were making.

During those two years in the mountains, he listened to all sorts of Pokémon sing.

"Meow~"

Masked Cat stretched out her arms and hugged Wu Ge's arm, then shook her head.

She didn't want to leave; she wanted to stay and watch the crickets sing.

"Then you stay here for now, I'll come find you later."

Wu Ge raised his hand and rubbed the masked cat's head.

I wonder if it's because Tom and the Lobster Soldier were singing and dancing next to the baby before it hatched.

Anyway, Masked Meow has always been interested in music and often tries to learn to sing from other Pokémon.

"Meow meow."

Masked Cat hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and hugged Wu Ge's arms tightly.

She decided to stop listening to the crickets singing on the speaker.

She wanted to stay by Wu Ge's side.

"You two seem to get along really well, are you a couple?"

Moni led the way, glancing back at the path.

"No."

Wu Ge shook his head.

Most people don't know this yet.

Although both the Lizard King and the Magic Masked Cat are Grass-type, they cannot reproduce; the two species are reproductively isolated.

It is relatively difficult for two races with reproductive isolation to develop 'love' for each other.

It's not impossible.

It just requires that at least one of them has a specific sexual fetish.

Take humans as an example.

If humans have egg colonies, then they are undoubtedly [land-dwelling] and [humanoid].

Popular 3D characters like Magic Masked Cat, Gardevoir, and Lopunny belong to both of the above groups.

Therefore, it is somewhat normal for humans to have desires for these Pokémon.

However, there are no shared egg groups between the Lizard King and the Masked Cat.

They were together.

To modern humans, it might not seem like anything special, or even strange, since they are all Grass-type Pokémon.

However, from the perspective of a future Pokémon professor who specializes in studying egg groups...

It's no different from the third brother and various third sisters-in-law.

"Oh, so it seems they are father and daughter or brother and sister or something like that."

"almost."

"Even though they are not of the same species, they can become close family members. This is quite charming about Pokémon."

Moni remarked with a sigh.

He led Wu Ge and Masked Cat into a small wooden house.

The cabin is simple, with a bed, table, chairs, and a large pile of books.

There was nothing else.

However, this room layout is probably just the norm in this camp.
