Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 156 Wherever she is, he is indispensable.

It was summer, and the sun was shining brightly.

When Wu Ge saw the two humans barbecuing by the lake, he was quite surprised.

Because one of them is a beautiful and mature woman with long blonde hair.

At first glance, Wu Ge thought he had met Cynthia.

But then I thought about it.

At this time, not only was Cynthia not born, but even her grandmother, Mustard, hadn't been born yet.

'Maybe she's Jiezilan's grandmother or maternal grandmother.'

Wu Ge pondered to himself.

If that's the case, then things might get a little more interesting.

"Ooh-woo~"

The grass-fed turtle called out from afar.

A young man next to the blonde woman turned his head and then focused his gaze on Wu Ge, who was the largest in the group.

"Jiu Mi~"

When the shy bud saw its trainer, it quickly scurried over to him.

Then she threw herself into the arms of the blonde mature woman.

"Hmm, so they are Pokémon from different trainers."

Wu Ge realized he had misunderstood when he saw this scene.

He had just thought that Turtwig and Budew were Pokémon from the same trainer.

"Wow, the shy bud is amazing! She went out and made two great friends."

The blonde woman's voice was magnetic and gentle.

She stretched out a slender, green finger and gently stroked the bud.

"Chewmi."

The shy bud nodded proudly.

He acted like he was incredibly capable.

"These are clearly two powerful Pokémon! Turtwig must be eager to battle them, right?"

The serious-looking young man raised his fist and looked passionately at his pet turtle.

"Oh."

The grass turtle rolled its eyes.

He knew his trainer would look like this.

"Hello, my name is Shigetsugu Yamanashi, everyone calls me Yamanashi. Come on, everyone, let's have an exciting Pokémon battle!"

Snapped!
Before the young man who called himself Yamanashi could finish speaking, the blonde woman next to him slapped him on the head.

"Excuse me, this guy gets a little carried away when he sees powerful Pokémon and trainers. My name is Butterfly Orchid."

Phalaenopsis looked apologetically at Wu Ge and Masked Cat.

There's no such thing as challenging someone to a fight on the first meeting, before you've even exchanged a couple of words.

That's incredibly rude.

The Phalaenopsis orchid was unaware of this.

More than a hundred years later, this is quite common among battling trainers.

Two trainers who are complete strangers could very well find themselves instinctively pulling out their Poké Balls and starting a battle just because they accidentally exchange glances on the street.

"fine."

Wu Ge waved his hand calmly.

A slight ripple stirred within me.

After all, the two people standing in front of him at this moment did not seem to be of very high status.

in the future.

The most authoritative Pokémon professor in the Sinnoh region is Professor Yamanashi, whose full name is unknown. His main research area is Pokémon evolution.

And in the Xicui region, which is unknown whether it was hundreds or thousands of years ago.

The leader of the Zhuqing Village Galaxy Team is named Ma Jiamu.

His full name should be Yamanashi Makagi.

This Yamanashi Shigeaki is probably a descendant of Ma Jiamu, and an ancestor of Dr. Yamanashi.

but.

At this moment, Wu Ge could not see anything particularly remarkable about Yamanashi Shigetsugu.

Currently, the other party seems to be just an ordinary rookie trainer, and it remains to be seen whether they will do something extraordinary in the future.

As for the other one.

Phalaenopsis orchid.
The name itself doesn't seem particularly special.

However, when combined with the other two names, it becomes quite unusual.

Phalaenopsis orchid, Chinese mustard seed orchid, bamboo orchid.

Coupled with her signature straight blonde hair, it's impossible not to have all sorts of fantasies.

and.

If Wu Ge remembers correctly, it seems that the future Zhu Lan family and the Yamanashi family have some connection. When Zhu Lan was a child, she helped out at Dr. Yamanashi's research institute.

"Meow~"

Masked Cat naturally raised its hand and waved, as if to say hello.

She knew nothing about the identities of these two people, and had no interest in them whatsoever.

"Phalaenopsis orchids? What kind of Pokémon are they? I've never seen them before."

"It's not surprising that you can't even recognize Budew, let alone Sceptile from the Hoenn region or Phantom Mask from the Padina region."

The orchid shook its head.

She knew her childhood sweetheart all too well.

He acts solely on passion and is a simple, straightforward, and impulsive person with a severe lack of knowledge about Pokémon.

"Wow! Pokémon from other regions! Aren't they amazing?"

Yamanashi's eyes lit up, and he quickly pressed for more information.

"I don't know about the others, but those two, well, they're very capable."

Phalaenopsis looked Wu Ge and Masked Cat over and nodded confidently.
"Where is your trainer? I noticed you're carrying a small bag, so you must have a trainer, right?"

"No."

Wu Ge shook his head decisively.

We might be traveling together for a while, and I'll need to ask for their help, so lying wouldn't be a good idea.

"So you're carrying a bag too? Haha, that's funny."

Yamanashi glanced at the small bag behind Wu Ge and smiled.

Generally speaking.

Unless there are special requirements regarding appearance, or if the trainer has specific requirements.

Otherwise, most Pokémon are unwilling to carry other things with them, as it makes them feel uncomfortable.

"Huh? A wild Pokémon? You guys must be pretty amazing."

Phalaenopsis couldn't help but show a shocked expression on her face.

"How to say?!"

"If they are wild Pokémon, it means they came to the Sinnoh region on their own, from Hoenn or Padilla. Do you think they could have made it here without some strength?"

Phalaenopsis finished speaking.

Yamanashi was completely dumbfounded.

Given Sinnoh's geographical location
He turned his head and stared blankly at Wu Ge and Masked Meow, unable to imagine how strong these two Pokémon were.

"Oh."

"Chewmi."

Turtwig and Budgie explained to their trainer.

They explained Wu Ge and Masked Cat's plea for help.

"Hmm? Of course, that's no problem! Right?"

Upon hearing this, Yamanashi quickly tugged at the phalaenopsis beside her, afraid that she would refuse.

"Well, it's nothing. It just so happens that Yamanashi's family lives in Zhuqing City, and I've been staying with him recently."

The orchid nodded.

"great!"

"Oh woo!"

Yamanashi suddenly picked up the grass turtle and started spinning it around.

"She's in her twenties, but she's still like a child."

Phalaenopsis glanced at him, her expression full of helplessness.

Just at this time.

Wisps of black smoke drifted past them, accompanied by a burnt smell.

"Ouch! My barbecue!" Yamanashi's expression changed drastically upon smelling it, and he abandoned the grass turtle and ran towards his barbecue grill.

"Haha, what a joke."

Phalaenopsis Orchid scratched its head awkwardly, glanced over there, and sighed.

"Come sit here first, it'll probably be a while before we can eat."

"Ok."

Wu Ge nodded politely.

He followed Phalaenopsis to the grassy area by the river and sat down, staring blankly at the book in her hand.

Meanwhile, the grass turtle, masked cat, and shy bud went to the lake to drink water.

The most interesting thing is the grass turtle drinking water.

After drinking water, the shell on his back will darken in color and become harder.

This is because the shell on the back of the grass-fed turtle is formed from soil.

If it feels moist to the touch, it means the baby turtle is very energetic.

And the saplings on its head, if the grass saplings lack water, the saplings will turn yellow or even wither.

These features are all similar to the flames on Charmander's tail.

Are you interested in this? Pokémon don't seem to understand human writing?

Phalaenopsis raised the book in her hand.

She noticed that Wu Ge seemed quite interested in the book.

"Uh."

Wu Ge was stunned for a moment.

He took a book out of his backpack.

That was the biography of Liz that Moni gave him.

"Oh? You have one too?"

Phalaenopsis glanced at the book in her hand, somewhat surprised.

She really didn't expect that there would be a book in Wu Ge's backpack.

"A gift from someone else."

Wu Ge offered an explanation, but Phalaenopsis couldn't understand it.

"It must have been given to you by someone else. Although there aren't many copies of this book, it's quite famous in the Sinnoh region."

Phalaenopsis orchids turned to the first page of the book.

The first page contains no text, only a simple hand-drawn illustration.

That was the image of Liz pouncing on the belly of a Dragonite.

'Those were the people who drew it.'

Wu Ge craned his neck to take a look, and some memories surfaced in his mind.

This painting clearly depicts the scene when Wu Ge returned to the capital from Silver Mountain and reunited with Liz.

It is almost exactly the same as the real situation.

It could only have been drawn by someone who witnessed it firsthand.

Those were simply some people in the royal palace, and their descendants saw the painting, painted more of it, and it spread from there.

"In the past, when Sinnoh was still called the Greenland, the relationship between humans and Pokémon was quite bad, and many Greenlanders naturally had a fear of Pokémon."

"But around the same time, the Kanto and Johto regions in the south were already able to help each other and develop together with the Pokémon."

"It was around that time that a queen from the south brought about a tremendous change to the land of Xicui, starting from Zhuqing Village."

Phalaenopsis opened the book and, looking at the table of contents, gave a brief account of the story in Liz's biography.

Wu Ge was stunned when he heard this.

Because of the content recorded within it.

Seven out of ten of them are storylines that players should experience in Legends: Arceus!

Liz became that 'player' on the Verdant Land a thousand years ago!
"Since then, the relationship between humans and Pokémon has undergone tremendous changes, and Dr. Raben has made great strides in Pokémon research thanks to Liz's help."

Phalaenopsis closed the book in her hand.

She never gets tired of reading this book, no matter how many times she reads it.

Rather.

This book is the source of her motivation to continue on the path of a historian.

“I’m very interested in things from the past, and some of the special Pokémon mentioned in this book. I want to find out what’s related to them; it’s my dream.”

Phalaenopsis sat beside Wu Ge, her gaze resolute.

"."

Wu Ge glanced at her.

This is not an easy road to travel.

There are many fellow travelers on this path, but many never see a legendary Pokémon in their entire lives.

He felt that it wouldn't be easy for the Phalaenopsis orchid to become that special person.

His descendant, Cynthia, is a good candidate.

"Why is it him on the cover?"

Wu Ge reached out and pointed to himself on the cover.

If this book records Liz's story while washing greenery, then there shouldn't be any content related to herself in it.

The main characters in this book could be Liz, the fire-breathing dragon, and the Scorpion King.
But it shouldn't be with him.

"Huh? This is A-Lan, what's wrong?"

Phalaenopsis didn't understand Wu Ge's meaning, but she did recall some other things:

"Speaking of which, Liz and Alan are the ideals of many trainers."

"?"

Wu Ge tilted his head, his eyes showing confusion.

ideal?

Do you want to leave your mark on history like Liz and him?

"Although Alan is not Liz's husband, wherever her name appears, Alan is always mentioned within three sentences."

Phalaenopsis reached out and stroked the cover, her tone full of emotion.

"This book doesn't actually tell much about Alan's story, but in Liz's words, Alan is always the one who can't be absent, as if he's always by her side. Liz's name appears 1314 times in the whole book, and Alan's name also appears 1314 times."

"."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ge couldn't help but turn his head to look north.

Liz's phantom stood there, and seemed to look back once, as if searching for something.

"This bond is what countless trainers and Pokémon yearn for."

The orchid sighed, looked at its budding flower, and pursed its lips slightly.

"Everyone can do it."

Wu Ge glanced at the orchid and murmured something.

Sora and Skitty, Tom and Squad, Ironhide and Slowpoke.
In this era where there's no need to pursue Pokémon strength.

How could trainers and Pokémon who choose each other possibly misplace their trust?

"Your bag seems to be very important to you. Even in its current state, you still can't bear to throw it away."

Phalaenopsis's gaze shifted to the small bag in Wu Ge's arms.

After two years of wind and rain, the little cloth bag was already tattered and worn out.

and.

It's easy to imagine how uncomfortable it must be for Wu Ge, who is such a big lizard king, to carry such a small bag.

"."

Wu Ge looked down at his bag and reached out to stroke it.

This is very important.

We can't lose it.

"It seems you also have a cherished experience."

"Ah."

Wu Ge smiled and nodded.

Although the time he spent with them was short, he had indeed created unforgettable and precious memories with them.

"When we get back to Zhuqing City, I'll help you repair that bag. You want it to stay with you a little longer, don't you?"

"Thank you, then I'll leave it to you."

Wu Ge glanced down at his bag, then nodded emphatically.

"Hey~ Dinner's ready!"

Yamanashi's voice rang out.

Everyone gathered together and began to eat.
