Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 163 Set off again
Wu Ge turned around and looked at the parchment inside the ice crystal.

What does it say on this?

He stared at the words on the parchment and asked a question blankly.

"Do you want to know what's written on it? Let me see."

Phalaenopsis Orchid approached closely, frowning as she carefully examined the handwriting on it.

A thousand years.

The handwriting styles humans use have also changed somewhat.

If Phalaenopsis hadn't been interested in this kind of thing and had already studied it, she wouldn't have been able to understand the words on this paper.

My biggest childhood dream was to become a queen.

[Because that way I could live in the palace I'd always dreamed of, and every day I could cause trouble with Aran, making my aunt and Hestia angry.]

The palace remains exactly as I remember it, and I now sit on the throne as Queen.

Logically speaking, I should have gotten what I wanted.

But childhood memories have become blurry and distant.

As I've grown up, I can no longer show weakness so easily. I have to be mindful of my words and actions at all times. And there will never again be a chubby Pokémon that hugs me, listens to my sobs, and lets me wipe my snot on its body.

Nowadays, I don't have the same anticipation for the royal palace as I did back then. My childhood dream doesn't seem as wonderful as I imagined it to be now.

If only everything could go back to that summer, I would cherish every single moment.

"That's all the content we can see."

After translating the words above, Phalaenopsis couldn't help but feel a little wistful.
"So even the Queen, who is above all others, wants to go back to her childhood. She looks no different from us ordinary people."

"She was just a stupid child to begin with."

Wu Ge murmured something and reached out to rub his sore nose.

If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager.

Growing up is a process that every living thing must go through.

Even Wu Ge, who can reincarnate indefinitely, cannot escape the fate of growing up.

His body could return to his childhood state time and time again, but his heart and soul could never return to that summer in the palace.

"Meow"

Masked Cat seemed to sense that Wu Ge's mood had become somewhat low, and it moved restlessly in his arms.

Wu Ge reached out and gently patted her back.

But the masked cat didn't settle down; instead, it opened its eyes little by little, looking confused.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat stared into Wu Ge's eyes for three or four seconds before tilting its head in confusion.

She asked Wu Ge why he was sad.

"fine."

Wu Ge grinned and stroked the masked cat's ears with his hand.

He will protect her childhood.

This is something that every father must do.

"That's the charm of history. It allows us to learn many unknown truths and the true faces of famous people in history."

Phalaenopsis looked away from the parchment with a touch of melancholy, then turned to Wu Ge beside her.
"Let's go and see some other places."

"Ah."

Wu Ge dropped the large cat he was holding on the ground and then followed after him.

"Meow!"

"You're awake now, so stop clinging to me. You can walk on your own. There are so many people here, you don't want them to laugh at you."

"Meow."

Upon hearing that there were other people in the area, Masked Cat immediately adopted a haughty demeanor.

Secretly, he kept glancing at other places to make sure Wu Ge wasn't lying to him.

The Phalaenopsis orchid couldn't help but chuckle at this.

That's the charm of Pokémon.

Each Pokémon has its own unique personality and style, and different kinds of interesting things happen when Pokémon with different personalities are together. These are the things that make it interesting.

then.

Wu Ge wandered around the museum with Phalaenopsis and the others.

He was unable to determine the authenticity of most of the items.

However, most of the items that can be identified are likely genuine, with only a very few being counterfeit.

Perhaps the museum didn't even know those fakes were genuine, and instead mistook them for real ones.

Overall.

Zhuqing Museum is quite conscientious.

It's much better than some museums that auction off genuine items while displaying fakes inside.

Time passes unconsciously.

at dusk.

Phalaenopsis, along with a bewildered Wu Ge and Masked Cat, emerged from the museum, licking their lips as if still wanting more.

"Wow, I've really learned a lot today."

Phalaenopsis went outside and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Looking into his arms, he saw that the shy bud was already fast asleep.

"."

Wu Ge glanced at the orchid and shook his head inwardly.

He originally thought that Phalaenopsis was a very normal girl, at least compared to a battle fanatic like Yamanashi, she really didn't have any crazy hobbies or interests.

Now it seems.

He's still too inexperienced.

Not without.

It's just not the right occasion to showcase it yet.

"Phew, I'm setting off back to Shenhe Town tomorrow. I wonder when we'll see each other again."

Phalaenopsis looked at the Lizard King and the Masked Cat beside her.
"Well, with your combined strength, you should be able to live a long time, right? I think we'll meet again someday."

"I think so too."

Wu Ge smiled in response and turned to look at the street not far away.

Liz's figure lingered somewhere, smiling and talking to someone.

It seems she has found a place to stay in Zhuqing Village.

"We go home."

"Ah."

Wu Ge nodded.

They strolled leisurely through the streets of Zhuqing City for half an hour before returning home.

Meanwhile, Yamanashi was already fast asleep in bed, clutching the grass turtle. It seemed they had indeed fought quite a few rounds that day.

"Good night."

After saying goodnight, Phalaenopsis Orchid returned to her room with the budding stamen.

Wu Ge led the masked cat back to the room to rest. "Meow?"

"Let's go tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, we'll be wandering around everywhere."

"Meow."

the next morning.

"Hey~ you're all leaving? Then my little turtle and I will be very lonely."

Yamanashi held onto the orchid with one hand and hugged Wu Ge with the other, shaking her head pitifully.

“I’ve been with you for half a month now. If I don’t go back soon, Grandma will scold me.”

The orchid withdrew its hand without any politeness, showing no mercy whatsoever.

and.

The shy bud was born not long ago and had not yet seen its hometown, Shenhe Town.

I need to take the Phalaenopsis orchid buds back to check on them.

"We often pass through Zhuqing City."

Wu Ge also did not intend to stay any longer.

Liz's phantom has already set off towards the east.

He was also preparing to set off with Masked Cat.

"Woooooo~"

"Ooh ooh ooh~"

The mountain pear and the grass turtle looked at each other, then opened their mouths and howled loudly.

But after howling for a long time, not a single tear fell from her eyes.

"Never mind him, let's go."

Phalaenopsis nudged Wu Ge with her elbow and turned to leave.

"Oh."

Wu Ge nodded and left with Masked Cat.

"Haha! Since I couldn't fool you, there's nothing I can do about it."

When Yamanashi realized his self-inflicted injury ploy wasn't working, he immediately changed his expression.
"Let me see you out."

Yamanashi was very generous to his friends, and directly ordered a carriage to take Butterfly Orchid and Wu Ge out of Zhuqing City.

North Gate of Zhuqing City.

"I'm heading north. Where are the Lizard King and Masked Cat?"

"This way."

Wu Ge pointed to the east.

"It seems we must part ways here."

The orchid smiled and nodded, not at all saddened.
"Lizard King, Masked Cat, let's study history together again next time."

"it is good."

"Chewmi!"

At this moment, the shy bud shook its two little legs anxiously.

"The budding flower also wants to say goodbye to you."

The Phalaenopsis orchid placed its bud into the arms of the masked cat.

"Meow."

Masked Cat took the shy bud and rubbed its face against it.

Masked Cat really likes this newborn little sister.

"Chewmi!"

Shy Bud pouted and kissed Masked Cat, then looked at Wu Ge.

It seems they're planning to give Wu Ge a bite too.

"Meow."

The masked cat, quick-witted and agile, returned the bud to the orchid.

Being sisters is fine, but being a stepmother is not.

"Hehehe, then we'll be going. If you happen to pass through Shenhe Town, remember to come find me and let me treat you to a meal."

After leaving those words, the Phalaenopsis orchid turned and left, clutching its bud.

"That guy didn't even say goodbye! I'm so angry!"

Yamanashi, watching Phalaenopsis's departing figure, gritted his teeth fiercely, like a husky.

"Then we're leaving too."

"Oh woo!"

Grass Turtle stepped forward to say goodbye to Wu Ge and Masked Cat.

"Then I won't keep you any longer. Zhuqing City, you're welcome to visit often."

"Thank you."

"Meow~"

Wu Ge and Masked Cat embarked on their journey once again.

Masked Cat doesn't know where to go, she just knows to keep following Wu Ge.

Wu Ge also forgot where he was going, and just followed Liz's phantom all over the Sinnoh continent.

time flies.

A year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

It was early winter in the 24th year of the Alliance calendar.

Following in Liz's footsteps, Wu Ge and Masked Meow arrived at Eterna City, located near Mt. Coronet in the Sinnoh region.

Baidai City is already considered one of the northernmost cities in the Sinnoh region.

A little further north, you'll enter the snowfield region.

"This seems to be our first time visiting Hobby City."

Wu Ge looked at Baidai City, which was covered with a thin blanket of snow, and exhaled a breath of hot air.

"Meow."

Masked Cat nodded slightly and wrapped her down jacket tighter around herself.

It's getting cold.

Wu Ge and Masked Meow, being Grass-type Pokémon, are not very resistant to low temperatures.

So Wu Ge found a way to change into several sets of thick clothes and bring them with him.

Pokémon dressed in clothes are an interesting sight wherever they go.

A year and a half has passed, and Masked Cat hasn't changed much.

Neither her appearance nor her personality has changed much.

Or.

By staying by Wu Ge's side, she can remain a mischievous and playful cat, largely unaffected by external influences and forced to grow up.

"Let's go in and take a look. This is a rather ancient city."
