Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 159 Mining Team Leader
After lunch.

Yamanashi eagerly pulled the group toward the training ground.

But in reality, only the Turtwig was excited along with him; the others showed little interest in the battle.

Phalaenopsis orchids and mimosa pudica are not interested in this.

Furthermore, Buddleja is still very young and does not yet have the ability to battle other Pokémon.

Wu Ge is someone who has fought for three lifetimes.

On days when he should be resting, he really couldn't be bothered to battle other Pokémon.

As for Masked Cat...

I've never been interested in that area.

My current high level is partly due to being forced by Wu Ge, and partly because I want to catch up with Wu Ge.

All she was interested in was singing and eating.

The training ground was very close to the restaurant, so they arrived in less than five minutes.

"Yo?"

When Wu Ge arrived at the outer edge of the battlefield, he was taken aback by the scene inside.

He had assumed that at this stage, the so-called battlefield would be like the backyard of the future Pokémon Center, just a few lines drawn on the ground.

After all, this is the kind of venue used in many major competitions.

But in reality, this training ground is a little different.

Just one thing: the ground was covered with a layer of grass.

However, in terms of visual effects, it looks much more aesthetically pleasing than the barren landscape depicted in the animation.

Around the venue.

They also installed some chairs for people to sit down and watch.

However, there weren't many seats available, as the training ground was already full, and there were at least seventy or eighty trainers around the training area at that time.

The vast majority of people were still standing, or simply sitting on the ground.

"It's not peak time yet. It'll get lively here in the evening when the students and office workers have gone home for dinner."

This isn't the first time Phalaenopsis orchids have been to Zhuqing City, so they are quite familiar with these matters.

"With so many people and only one battlefield, you might not even get a chance to fight even after waiting all day."

Wu Ge shook his head.

There are still too few battlefields in the city.

There are no dedicated battle clubs or battle facilities yet.

However, Wu Ge soon realized that something was wrong.

Because there aren't actually many people who are enthusiastic about playing against each other; most people are just there for the spectacle.

It's like, being alone at home is boring, so I come to a crowded place to sit and relieve my loneliness. What I do isn't really important.

In reality, only a few young trainers are ever truly active on the battlefield.

"Currently, this kind of activity is more popular in the Kanto and Johto areas, followed by Sinnoh and the Orange Islands. I'm not sure about further away, but it might be more popular in Padia."

Phalaenopsis orchid began to explain the phenomenon before her.

The battles and training in the Southern Hemisphere began at Orange Academy, which has a history of over 800 years.

Battles and training in the Northern Hemisphere began in Kanto and Johto, respectively.

Sinnoh is closest to Kanto and Johto, so it has been significantly affected.

Just like when Wu Ge was in Hoenn Saiyu City.

Although humans and Pokémon live together, they lead a very leisurely life, as if everyone is enjoying a retirement.

I've never even heard of any kind of battle.

The act of breeding does exist, but different people use different terms for it, and there is no unified terminology. There is also no one who calls themselves a breeder.

"Hey! Yamanashi! You brought two amazing Pokémon with you, come on up and have a go at me!"

Yamanashi was a celebrity on the battlefield; people called out to him as soon as he appeared.

Wu Ge glanced over.

A girl who looks about the same age as Yamanashi.

The Pokémon next to my legs is an Electric-type Pokémon, Pachirisu.

Don't let its small size and cute appearance fool you.

But it's positioned as a light tank, so it's quite durable. At the same level, it's at least tougher than a grass carp turtle.

However, judging from the size of this Pokémon...
The level is not high.

Let alone challenging Wu Ge, he doesn't even have the qualifications to challenge Masked Cat.

That should be enough to catch the baby turtles in Yamanashi.

However, the voice from that person just now drew everyone's attention to Wu Ge and Masked Cat.

Masked Cat instantly switched into her icy, mature woman mode, crossing her arms over her chest and standing beside Wu Ge, her eyes fixed straight ahead, as if nothing in the world could catch her eye.

Wu Ge was even more straightforward.

He glanced at it and then looked away, adopting an air of looking down on all living beings, yet being invincible in the world.

This wasn't him deliberately showing off.

However, none of the Pokémon in the training field could actually fight him.

60% of Pokémon will immediately look away when they make eye contact with him.

30% of Pokémon are brave, but they are all young and impetuous, lacking strength due to their young age.

The remaining 10% are simply radiating happiness and wanting to lay eggs.

"So? Are you two going to go? Everyone seems really interested in you."

Yamanashi turned around and looked at Wu Ge and Masked Cat.

His eyes sparkled; he also wanted to see how strong Wu Ge and Masked Cat were in combat.

After all, a Pokémon that can travel all the way from such a far place must be incredibly powerful!

If Wu Ge and Masked Cat perform very well, then as their friend, Yamanashi will feel especially proud.

"Forget it, there's no competition."

Wu Ge shook his head, indicating he didn't intend to appear.

He is now somewhat bewildered about the combat capabilities of human society in this era.

Two hundred years from now, there will be a clear judgment: the champion is the pinnacle of each region, followed by the Elite Four, then Gym Leaders, Frontier Leaders, and Captains of the International Police.

just now.

There are no so-called champion kings in these leagues.

There wasn't a clearly defined hierarchy of strength from top to bottom. This made it difficult for Wu Ge to judge whether his strength was considered high or low in human society.

In any case, judging from the current performance of these ordinary trainers, his level should be quite high.

How about I become your opponent?

A voice rang out from outside the training field.

Everyone turned to look and burst into a clamor.

"Wow, that guy is Song Yan from Black Gold City. He's a big shot."

"Isn't he the captain of a mining team in the Alliance? How come he has time to come over and play?"

"I heard he's an elite trainer, his Pokémon are monster-like, he's not on the same level as us."

Do you think the lizard king will agree?

Wu Ge's ears twitched as he listened to what the people around him were saying, a little curious.

He turned his head to look at the person who had come.

A middle-aged man with a stubble beard, wearing a miner's hat, a white shirt, and gray overalls.

It looks quite masculine, but it doesn't have the distinctive features of a golden Phalaenopsis orchid.

Therefore, Wu Ge cannot connect it with any future role.

He could also be someone who was only active in this era, with no remarkable descendants.

"Longlongyan, show yourself and let others see if you are qualified to be his opponent."

Songyan reached into his waistband and pulled something out.

A large sphere covered by rocks appeared in the spot.

Golem is a Rock/Ground type Pokémon.

The average height is 1.4 meters, while Song Yan is only 2 meters tall, and his strength is visibly formidable.

but.

Using Golem to fight Sceptile would be absolutely hilarious.

Rocks plus ground, four times weaker grass.

Furthermore, Wu Ge has mastered related attribute moves, which are twice as weak in melee and ground combat.

There's another crucial point.

Golem's strength lies in its physical attack and physical defense; it is almost an extreme physical defense fighter, having practically given up speed and special defense.

But the Lizard King's true profession is that of a mage specializing in special attacks.

It's just that the previous design was flawed and lacked relevant special attack skills.

Later, some moves were patched, and Wu Ge himself paid more attention to this, so the special attack strength naturally increased.

This means that Golem is no match for a Pokémon like Sceptile.

They do not possess any racial advantages.

If this Golem is below Lv.60, it is unlikely to be a match for Wu Ge.

But that's the current situation.

Wu Ge couldn't tell the grade of this rumbler.

This means that the opponent's level is higher than yours, but you can't be sure how much higher. You'll have to exchange a couple of moves to get a rough idea.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat looked at Wu Ge beside him.

She asked Wu Ge if she needed to deal with the rumbler.

"Forget it, you're still lacking."

Wu Ge shook his head.

Don't even say it.

Although Masked Meowth's base stats, move pool, and ability are exactly what Sceptile dreams of, it's not as suitable as Sceptile when it comes to dealing with Golem.

Say it.

Wu Ge walked into the center of the battlefield.

His fighting spirit was not strong.

However, he and Masked Cat may be staying in Zhuqing City for quite some time.

Wu Ge couldn't say exactly how long, but he was certain that Liz had stayed in Zhuqing Village for quite a long time a thousand years ago, until she finished those things.

It can take anywhere from a few months to several years.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat will likely be staying here for quite some time.

To make things a little easier in the future, he'd better show off his skills now.

This way, at least some weaker trainers will retreat on their own.

"Oh my god~ Are you going to go, Lizard King?! Go for it!"

Seeing Wu Ge's posture, Yamanashi was extremely excited.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Anyone could see that a thrilling duel was about to unfold.

Everyone sent people to the training ground to watch.

"I wonder who's stronger."

The orchid, watching the battle, also became unusually excited.

Although she wasn't particularly interested in fighting, she still found it quite enjoyable to watch some exciting battles occasionally.

of course.

In her heart, she still felt that Songyan was stronger.

After all, the mining team in Black Gold City belongs to the Sinnoh League, and the team leader sounds like a logistics minister, but that's not actually the case.

During the mining process, they often unearth the homes of Pokémon that live underground or in the mountains.

If you encounter someone with a bad temper, a fight is inevitable.

Therefore, the mining team leader was actually a combat commander, whose strength was definitely much greater than that of ordinary inspection team members.

According to Phalaenopsis Orchid's observations of Masked Cat.

Masked Cat's strength is roughly equivalent to that of a main member of the inspection team.

The Lizard King who accompanied Masked Cat was at most an ace-level member of the inspection team, right?

In that case, compared to Song Yan, the leader of the mining team, they are still quite inferior.
