Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 154 No Future in Sight

"I learned about Pokémon through these books."

Moni picked up a thick book from the ground.

Wu Ge took it and opened it.

I can't understand the text, but there are some hand-drawn illustrations of Pokémon on it.

These books look quite old.

"Besides that, I also learn about the outside world through the descriptions of the Pokémon that come to the village from the wild."

Why don't you go and see for yourself?

Wu Ge frowned and turned to look at Moni.

The vast majority of Pokémon simply cannot describe what they are seeing.

If you truly want to understand the beauty of this world, you must see it for yourself with your own eyes.

Wu Ge and Liz are doing just that.

"It's incredibly difficult for an ordinary person to leave this camp and see the outside world."

Moni shook his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and said nothing more.

Have you heard of Liz from the Johto region?

"Hmph, of course! That founding queen is incredibly famous. She was the first queen in human history to rule over three regions. Who doesn't know that? Oh, right, now it should be two regions."

Moni then picked up a book from the ground.

Wu Ge didn't even need to look at it to know that he learned about Liz from that book.

"Does that book record what Liz did after leaving the Dragon Kingdom?"

"Who knows? I bet even the Dragon Taming Clan themselves don't know."

"She went on a world tour."

".ha?"

Moni was taken aback, his eyes widened, and then he immediately shook his head.
"Impossible! Even now, it's not easy for humans to travel around the world, especially when crossing oceans between regions. It's almost no different from the Warcraft era, let alone a thousand years ago."

"I visited the Dragon Clan's territory two years ago, and heard it from a Dragonite that had lived for over a thousand years."

Wu Ge's words completely silenced Moni.

a long time.

He sighed.

“Great men are great men; no wonder they are remembered for their courage. I don’t have that kind of guts; the wilderness is terrifying.”

Moni shook his head, sat down in the chair, and then lay face down on the table.

It looks like a salted fish lying flat.

"If you want to see the world but don't dare to set out, then you'll be imprisoned in this camp for the rest of your life."

Wu Ge looked at Moni and shook his head.

Since coming into this world, he has met too many people with great courage and vision.

It's a bit unusual to suddenly encounter someone like Moni.

"I know, of course I know."

Moni turned to look out the window.

The cabin wasn't well-lit, just like his life, which was devoid of light, forcing him to spend his entire life hiding in the dim but safe little house.

"I am not a purely human being."

"..ha?!"

Upon hearing Moni's words, Wu Ge's hands trembled, and the book in his hands fell to the ground.

Not purely human.

Most people, upon hearing such words, would probably think about the bloodline in the other person's body.

So Wu Ge was thinking at that moment.

Could Moni be the child of a human and a Pokémon?

No wonder he thought that way.

Indeed, there are many recorded cases in the history of the Pokémon world of humans and Pokémon living together.

Let's not talk about the past.

In the future, love movies between humans and Pokémon will be very popular, and it is said that Kalos Champion Diantha has starred in one.

Therefore, it is not strange for humans to marry Pokémon in this world.

As for whether or not you can have children.

It seems unlikely at the moment.

There are no relevant historical records.

That's something that future generations are still researching.

"Meow?"

The masked cat next to it also turned its head in confusion.

She didn't think as much as Wu Ge did.

After all, she had no idea that Pokémon could be with humans, and Meowth might not even have developed any romantic feelings yet.

"Don't get me wrong, I was just raised by Pokémon."

Moni seemed to sense what Wu Ge was thinking and raised her hand to explain.
"You came from the capital, so you must have passed through that huge mountain range, right?"

"Ah."

Wu Ge nodded.

Even if he lived ten lifetimes, he would never want to enter this mountain range again.

That's enough.

"My biological parents traveled north from Johto, intending to ride a carriage across the mountains to Sinnoh to make their way in the world."

"But halfway through the journey, the two horses pulling the cart were accidentally injured by Pokémon fighting for territory, and all the supplies and provisions were destroyed, so they had to walk."

"It is not easy to get out of that mountain range. Most people would rather take the sea route and go around it than set foot in it."

"My parents were not lucky either; they lost their lives there, along with me, who was only one or two years old at the time."

Moni's eyes remained completely still as he spoke.

He really didn't have any feelings for his biological parents.

at most.

I'm just grateful.

I am grateful that they never abandoned me, even in death.

"Then I was picked up by a Mr. Mime, and she raised me."

"Her voice was 'Moni Moni,' so I assumed my name was Moni."

"Later, under her tutelage, I unexpectedly learned superpowers. I only know a little bit, and I can't do anything too amazing, but it allows me to communicate with other Pokémon."

"Then."

"She dumped me."

Moni looked up and smiled, her eyes showing no negative emotions.
“She didn’t abandon me on purpose, I know. She just felt I should live among humans, so she threw me out of those mountains.” “Do you want to go back to the mountains and live with her?”

Wu Ge asked Moni curiously.

Now he probably understands why Moni didn't dare to run away.

People who can learn superpowers through training are basically geniuses, with an innate IQ that is higher than that of others.

Like Moni, a teenager
Those who might even learn superpowers at a young age must have exceptionally high intelligence.

She's not as good as Natsume and Cattleya, but she's much better than some minor characters.

However, without Mr. Mime's training, his superpowers were no longer further developed.

Otherwise now
At least telekinesis should be quite simple to move objects remotely.

Such talent.

This basically destined him to be 'precocious' and 'possess a strong memory'.

Moni, who was probably only one or two years old at the time, clearly saw the process of her parents' death.

He might not have understood it when he was young, but his brain remembered it very clearly.

Looking back on it when you're older.

All I feel is fear.

People with exceptional talent in the field of superpowers.

They often suffer because they are different from others when they are young, and their thinking is very likely to become extreme when they grow up.

Both of Sabrina's split personality and Cattleya's uncontrollable abilities have existed since childhood.

Similarly, they are also influenced by their abilities and past.

This leads to a somewhat 'rebellious' mindset during the teenage years.

It was only later, as my abilities improved and my knowledge broadened, that I encountered more 'bonds' and gradually returned to normal.

Compared to them, Moni's psychological trauma is actually a minor problem.

"I do not want."

Moni shook his head decisively, his attitude very firm.

"why?"

Wu Ge frowned, a look of doubt appearing in his eyes.

From what Moni said just now, it was clear that she cared a lot about the Mr. Mime.

"Meow."

Masked Cat glanced at Moni.

Because of Moni's words, she had begun to look down on this person.

He was carefully raised by the Mr. Mime, but after he came out, he didn't want to return to her side. No matter how many nice words he said, in her eyes he was still an unfilial son.

Anyway, if we were in each other's shoes...

No matter how many times Wu Ge tries to drive her away, she will always return to his side.

Unless, he really, really hates her.

“I don’t want to go back to those mountains, but I want to take her to see the outside world, to see the human world.”

Moni noticed Masked Cat's thoughts and smiled nonchalantly.

"Meow? Meow."

Masked Cat turned to look at him, then nodded in approval.

"Then why don't you go?"

“I know where she is, but I can’t get there by myself.”

Moni shook his head, got up, walked to the window, and looked outside.

"Everyone says that superpowered people can foresee the future, but I can't see the future at all here."

This is how he always saw the camp.

No fun at all.

"Those who say they can't see the future have actually already seen their future at a glance."

Wu Ge picked up a book from the ground.

He tossed it into Moni's arms.

Moni glanced down and saw it was the biography of Queen Liz.

"But the future is full of uncertainties. If you don't dare to take the first step, then the future you see is correct. If you dare to take the challenge, then the future you see may be wrong."

Wu Ge crossed his arms over his chest and grinned.
"What the future holds is up to fate, but whether you take this step or not depends on you."

He thought he would never be able to keep his promise to Liz.

I even considered it at the beginning.

Why don't we just stay in Saiyu City and stay by Sora's side?

but.

It wasn't until he stepped into that flowerbed that he realized how unpredictable the future could be.

If he had stayed in Saiyou City, he would have lived his life in a hurry and wasted the power of the Time Ripple.

That's the real reason why I couldn't keep my promise to Liz.

fortunately.

He still took the plunge and decided to go to the Dragon Clan's territory to take a look.

If you stand still, nothing will happen.

But if we move forward, perhaps a turning point will emerge.

"."

Moni looked down at the cover in his hand.

On the yellowed kraft paper, the hand-drawn face of Liz is blurred, just like her actions throughout her life, which are unfathomable.

"If you are still afraid, then find a Pokémon that is willing to accompany you. Trust him, rely on him, and you will gain endless courage."

"Meow!"

Masked Cat pounced on Wu Ge's side, grabbed his arm with both hands, and nodded vigorously.

"Just like Liz and Alan, right?"

Moni pursed his lips, a slight glint appearing in his eyes.

He raised the book in his hand.

On the kraft paper cover.

A huge Dragonite was leaning against Liz's back.

He reached out and gently embraced her.

Perhaps it was because of him that she was able to be fearless.

"Correct."
